A/N: So sorry for the long long wait many things have been going on and I haven't had the time to really sit down and write/type. Now without further wait chapter 6!

***

"I do not have pups because my father the ruling Inu-No-Taisho has not granted me permission and because I have not found a suitable mate." from across the fire one could see Kagome's face turn deadly white, chopsticks halfway to her mouth. 'Father. Ruling Inu-No-Taisho. Living grandfather. Oh shit…'

***

"Did you say father?" Kagome said forgetting about her dangling noodles. Perplexed Toga replied with a positive. "Why do you seem so shocked? I assumed you knew since you had knowledge of me and the clan." Toga asked. Placing her noodles down Kagome stood up and paced back and forth in front of the fire mentally freaking out. 'Oh Kami! How have I gotten this far back!? It's impossible! Not only is Inuyasha's father alive but his Grandfather! Oh this is so bad, this is not going to end well at all!' Turning back to Toga Kagome smiled nervously "I'm sorry for some reason I was thinking you were the ruling Inu-No-Taisho. What is you fathers name?" She asked. Cocking an eyebrow at the strange little miko, Toga brushed off her behavior, "My Father's name is Rai" he said simply. Nodding Kagome continued eating and began to digest this new bit of information. "And your father...approves of hanyou's?"

Kagome waited nervously as she saw Toga stiffen. "My father is a very old demon and still very much sticks to the old traditions of our society. Father does not hate mortals or hanyou's but he does not readily approve either." Toga said, hoping that the miko would not abandon the idea of going with him immediately. Looking down at her pup Kagome sighed, seeing the bright silver globes looking right back at her practically screaming trust. Trust that she would do good by him. Still looking at Kisho, Kagome spoke, "Would he try to harm my pup?" totally stricken back by her seeming composure Toga unconsciously sighed in relief, no yelling or fleeing commenced. "None of the pack would harm a helpless pup or bitch that was invited to the pack."

Rolling over on the sleeping back Kisho set his orbs on the new member of his pack. Tilting his head the pup took in the scent of the Alpha-Male. Earth and Timber met his nostrils and Kisho filed it away for storage. Looking next to the males aura Kisho found that, as was his first impression, Alpha-Male was indeed very powerful. Glancing from Alpha to Alpha the pup came to a conclusion that any other bright pup would come to.

Twitching at the canine referral to her station Kagome refrained from a snide comment. "Alright then now that that is settled. What of your mother? Will she pose a threat to my pup?"

"No mother is very docile for an Inu bitch and loves all pups. You should have no concerns regarding her. Although one you should be wary of is one of fathers advisors who is always avidly trying to sway father to turn against the humans. He is a black Inu and is called by the name of Seiji and like his name he lawful but to the laws of old which in your case I suggest caution when involved with Seiji." Glancing skywards Toga realized the late hour. "Now seeing as we have much travel ahead it is time for rest." Nodding Kagome turned to find Kisho asleep curled on her pillow. Smiling Kagome soon joined him in slumber and so their day ended with Toga keeping guard over his new wards.

~Day Break~

The aroma of cooking meat brought Kisho from his slumber. Looking to find Alpha-Mother still asleep Kisho slipped from her arms and out into the cool morning air towards the delicious aroma. Crawling until he was behind Alpha-Male Kisho snatched a handful of silk and yanked. :Pup hungry: he whined.

Toga looked down to the small pup in surprise 'When did he wake up? Sneaky little thing' he thought. :Pup wait: he growled back. Looking downcast Kisho turned on him his most powerful weapon…the puppy eyes. Once again feeling a tug the Inu looked to see impossibly huge watering silver eyes. Laughing the demon prince picked up the pup and brought him to see the cooking meal. :Pup be patient: hearing a starting of a whine from the pup Toga issued the pup a warning making Kisho shrink back. Happy with his submission Toga continued to spice and rotate the meat. Once satisfied Toga set the pup down by his mother and distributed the meat out on large leaves.

Turning to the still slumbering miko Toga shook his head 'Lazy woman'.

:Wake Pack-Female: yipping his consent Kisho pounced on his unsuspecting mother drawing her rather violently from her sleep. "Ugh Kisho stop that" she mumbled. After a series of poking and pouncing from her pup Kagome gave up on her dreams. Sitting up Kagome realized that breakfast had already been made. 'Wow that's the first time I've gotten to sleep in and not make breakfast.' she thought. Smiling gratefully at the Youkai prince Kagome dug in giving Kisho the occasional bite that sent him into fits of purring.

After finishing their meal the trio set out one again for their destination, Kisho splitting up his time between his mother and his new Alpha. Around evening Kagome saw the Youkai prince stiffen. "Toga-sama? What is it?" Kagome asked worried. She stretched out her senses feeling a hostile demonic aura headed their way. "Stand back miko." Reluctantly she did as told cradling her pup to her bosom. Soon the sounds of crashing were heard heading toward them as the being barreled through the forest. Both Youkai and Miko prepared for a fight and as the beast drew nearer Kagome transferred Kisho the sling on her back opening up her hands for use. At long last the Oni crashed through the brush and stood in all its hideous glory before them. Kagome shuddered, 'Why must it always be an Oni?' she thought recounting the last encounter she had of being eaten alive.

Toga relaxed for surely the beast would hold no fight and stepped back motioning the Miko to take care of the nuisance. Sighing Kagome resigned to her task of apparently proving her 'worth'. Grabbing a fairly sized rock Kagome looked it over as the pea-brained Oni charged. Kisho giggled as his Alpha-mother's powers washed over him sending tingle throughout his body. Tossing the rock Kagome watched as it connected with the beasts chest and to Toga's surprise the rock charged with minimal Reiki exploded with ten-fold the power. Blinking to shield his eyes from the blasts intensity Toga discovered only dust floating back down to earth. Staring blankly at the Miko, Toga was at a loss. Smirking Kagome started walking figuring that the prince would follow soon enough.

2 Days Later

Eventually the shock of a few days prior wore off and the journey continued for the odd Tachi. Each night they settled down after a meal and each reveal a tale or two. Kisho had also taken to rough housing with his Alpha often growling an tugging at the elder Inu's ears. But as they continued it was apparent that they were really close due to the ever growing tension in her youkai companions shoulders. 'I wonder what is making him so on edge. Could it be that there is something that I should be worried about?' eyeing the future Inu-No-Taisho suspiciously Kagome examined her gut feeling. 'Myouga has always spoke with reverence of Inuyasha's father but that was when he came to power so what about now? My senses haven't picked up on any deceit but he could just be that good. …oh what am I suppose to do? He's the only hope right now for Kisho's future..' Kagome's thoughts were cut off by the sudden halt of the leader of their little 'pack'.

Toga sighed, 'The time has come'. Turning to the little miko at his back Toga stated the inevitable. "We have arrived" he stated and then turned to draw a pattern in the air. Right before their eyes the landscape of unending forest gave way to a gigantic valley of what seemed to be a whole Inuyoukai civilization. With the barrier down Kagome was bombarded with the overbearing suffocation of the youkai's youki. Behind her she felt Kisho shudder and heard a faint whimper. Bringing her pup closer Kagome tried to reassure him. :No Danger pup. Alpha-mother protect you: she yipped as she nuzzled her precious puppy. Looking to Toga Kagome saw him staring off into the valley. Following his line of sight Kagome stopped breathing. For that magnificent but terrifyingly huge Inu she saw watching them could be none other that his father. The present Inu-No-Taisho…Rai….

To be continued…
