Kagome was packing all her things, well, anything she thought she would need. She had talked to her best friend and boss about taking an early vacation and she had no problem with it, which Kagome had thanked her again and again for.
Takara poked her head into her mother's bedroom. "C'mon, mom, we're not going to mars."
Kagome laughed and put the photo album into her back. "Okay, let's go."
She followed her two sons and her daughter out of the apartment and they caught the bus to the shrine.
Soon, the four of them were staring at the well, each feeling differently. Kagome's stomach was in knots, what if this didn't work?
Kasei and Takara looked at each other, each feeling a sense of familiarity. Katsu, on the other hand, was jumping up and down.
"Wow! This is so cool! It's like the coolest field trip ever!" Kasei rolled his eyes.
"More like the weirdest."
"No way! This is so cool! Aren't you guys excited? We get to see the Feudal Era!" Kagome smiled at her youngest son's enthusiasm. Now, if only her stomach would stop doing flip flops …
"Let's just get this over with." Takara stated and jumped into the well fearlessly. Kagome was noting how much she was like her father sometimes before a familiar blue light came from the well.
It worked again … It was working again! Relief washed over her and she motioned for Kasei and Katsu to follow their sister.
Soon, Kagome jumped in after them, loving the feel of weightlessness that had been so common when she would regularly cross the worlds.
In the feudal era, Sesshomaru stopped. He felt it. He felt the particular 'whoosh' the forest did when someone crossed into this world through the well. Without thinking, he flew towards the well on his youkai cloud, leaving a red streak in his wake.
Kagome was back. He could smell her, feel her and even hear her. He landed gracefully at the well and a small child with golden eyes like his own and dog-ears came up over the well and stared at him with fascination and fear.
"Wow … " Was all that came from his parted lips. Kasei frowned a little, jumping out of the well and before he could say anything to his brother, he instantly smelt the demon. He smelled so familiar …
Takara came out as well and nearly fell back into the well at the surprise. Her mother's worried calls went unnoticed.
Kagome quickly climbed out of the well and followed her children's gaze and her own eyes widened a little.
"Sesshomaru … "
Sesshomaru felt his heart skip a beat and his eyes drifted over his mate and the love of his entire life. She looked stunning still. Her black hair and gotten a little longer, her eyes still had their usual shine to them and the figure she still had when she left was still there, even though she had obviously given birth again. She still smelled the same the day she left him …
A pang hit his heart when he thought of that day. He pushed the thought out of his head quickly, he wouldn't think like that. She was here now.
"Kagome … " Slowly, his legs began moving towards her and he almost could reach out and touch her but something stopped him. His brain started working again and he realized that it wasn't something, it was someone, two someone's actually.
A boy and his sister stood between him and his mate and they were growling at him. A small smile appeared on Sesshomaru's features. His children, his first born children, they'd grown so much.
"Stay away from her." A cool voice drifted to Sesshomaru's ears. It sounded a lot like his own but recognized it as his son's. How it sounded like his own voice was astounding and if it weren't for the ears and eyes, someone could have easily mistaken him for Sesshomaru.
"Kasei." Kagome's sweet voice broke his thoughts and he looked to her between the others.
"Kasei, that's your father …" She stepped through them and stood in front of Sesshomaru, waiting for him to either accept her or turn her back to her time.
Minutes dragged on, turning into hours it seemed and Kagome became even more tense.
Finally, he reached out and gently cupped her cheek, feeling her entire body relax. Kagome ran to him and wrapped her arms tightly around him in a fit of tears.
Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around his mate, nuzzling her hair, taking in its smell. Gods, how he had wanted to feel this, her against him, smell the sweet smell of her hair.
Kasei and Takara just stood there, watching everything unfold before them. They had some memories of their father but they were so distant and fuzzy, they just passed them off as really weird dreams. Sure, they had wondered why they never saw anyone at school with ears or eyes like theirs or with claws but they never really thought too much of it because they were accepted for the most part.
Slowly, their attention was turned to their brother who had a bewildered expression on his face. He was desperately trying to make sense of everything.
"This is SO cool!" He exclaimed in a fit of excitement.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Kagome was walking beside Sesshomaru with his arm around her waist and her head resting on his shoulder. How she had longed for this. Being with him again, feeling his tender touch, hearing his voice and watching his golden eyes.
Kasei, Takara and Katsu were following them, the older two slowly coming to terms with their old and fuzzy memories. It wasn't easy, especially with their brother asking Sesshomaru a thousand and one questions.
They walked for hours until night began falling and Kagome was still latched onto Sesshomaru. She honestly didn't ever want to let go of him in fear that this all might be some dream and if she let go, he would just fade away …
Sesshomaru smiled down at Kagome. "The boys and I will go and get firewood." This brought Kasei attention back to reality.
"Like hell I'm going anywhere with you." He snarled and Kagome sighed a little.
"Kasei, don't do this. Just go with him."
He looked at his mother. "Don't do what? Don't hate him for leaving us eleven years ago? You already had two kids and one on the way and he just LEFT!" A sharp growl cut him off and he could see Sesshomaru's eyes get dark and very mad.
"You listen here, pup." He snarled back. "I would have never left you two or your mother. I didn't even know that she was carrying at the time otherwise I wouldn't have let her go. You will back down and show some respect. Just because you are my heir and first born son, does not mean I will not exercise my right to make you obey me." By this time, Sesshomaru had walked up to Kasei and he had to give the boy credit that he stood his ground.
"Go ahead. Kill me. I dare you." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed and he reached for his sword.
"Your brother shall inherit everything if this is your wish."
Kasei growled, his own eyes narrowing. "You don't have the guts."
"Don't tempt me, boy." Kasei just growled his response and Sesshomaru quickly slashed at his son, sending gasps from the group.
Kasei, who hadn't closed his eyes or even flinched, blinked a little bit. He was kind of expecting to see like a white light at the end of a tunnel or something like that and he was certainly not expecting to see Sesshomaru's angry face.
Slowly, he moved his arms and his eyes widened a little.
"I'm … not dead?" Sesshomaru sheathed the Tetsaiga, turning back towards the forest.
"Even I would not kill one of my children, disobedient or not. Now, let's go. We need to get firewood before it gets completely dark." Kasei glared at his back for a minute but slowly moved to follow him, his younger brother skipping up to Sesshomaru's side happily.
"Father, are you really a demon? Do you really have deadly claws? Are you really a lord? Does that make me a prince? Can you run really fast? Will you teach me how to use a sword? Why are you wearing those clothes?" Instead of the questions annoying him, they actually made him laugh.
Gently, he placed a hand between his son's ears and ruffled his hair a little.
"What's your name, son?"
"Katsu." Sesshomaru smiled.
"Well, Katsu, to answer your questions; yes, I really am a demon. Yes, I do have deadly claws but I would never use them to harm someone I love or care for. Yes, I am really a lord and yes, that does make you a prince. Yes, I can run very fast. Yes, you will eventually learn how to use a sword and I am wearing these clothes because they are comfortable and it is what most of my status wear in these times."
Kasei was a little surprised by this and he unconsciously began picking up some sticks and such. They stopped and Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder at his eldest son.
"Kasei, have you used any of your powers?"
Kasei tensed at the sudden shift of attention but he slowly shook his head. Sesshomaru nodded a little, continuing to walk. Kasei frowned a little, watching him.
Why would he suddenly be interested in something like that?

A/N: Yes … why would that little tidbit of information suddenly interest the hot and sexy demon lord? Why, indeed. Well … that's for me to know and you to find out. –Grins- actually … that's for all of us to find out … I don't even know why myself! This chapter was actually going to be a lot shorter than it is now but I suddenly got a tiny spurt of an idea. I'm also beginning to get writers block –cries- I hate writers block …
I'm also really trying to find a good Sesshomaru and Kagome fan fic but I haven't really come across any … I'm also not sure on whether to post this up today or leave it for tomorrow …
