Happy Birthday to me. I am a year older to day. I am still posting though. Time to clear something up though. To answer a question from Peppermint Patti. The parents as children. Sango had Inu Yasha's mother. Inu Yasha fathered Sesshoumaru's mother. Kagome as everyone knows had Inu Taisho. Thanks for the Reviews. Here is chapter sixteen.
Chapter Sixteen
Sango walked to the demon lord. Curious and nervous about the whole thing. She would then have to leave and keep a watchful eye on Kohaku. Sesshoumaru turned and looked at her. Waiting for her to speak. She was still holding her daughter. Sesshoumaru seemed to look as if he knew what she would ask.
"Sesshoumaru-sama may I bring my brother her to live with me? He could be a friend to Rin from what I know they became friends when she was under his care. I could make sure he is not under that bastards control ever again." She said bowing after hand Miroku the child. Sesshoumaru was quiet as if he was thinking. When Kagome spoke.
"You wouldn't have to do that. I asked the jewel to make sure he couldn't be put under that spell again. He would never be a threat. I knew that would torture you if he could." She said and made her rise. Sango was shocked. Kagome had thought of her again. Knowing if it happened again she would surely die. Her brother was the last of her family. Now he could live his life with out worrying about the spell.
"Well I guess Rin could do with another human friend to keep her company. You may bring him here. You must take one of the guards with you when you go get him." Sango smiled and bowed. She ran and called Kilala and went to get her brother from the village. One of the guards and her left.
Kagome smiled to see her friend happy. Sango was the older sister she never had and she hated to see her worried over Kohaku. Now she would have him near and no longer worry about Naraku claiming him for a servant. She thanked her handsome lord and left with their son to the nursery to put him to sleep for the nap. Maniko was in there and holding Lady Kanome in her arms getting her to sleep.
"Sometimes they refuse to sleep. That's when you do something to make them sleep." Said Kagome and smiled. Apparently Kanome didn't want to sleep. She kept fighting with Maniko. Maniko looked confused.
"How do I do that?" She asked and walked to Kagome.
"Here answer this simple question. Where is she more content? Sometimes if you hold the child against your heart they get to sleep better because it is a familiar sound. Or make shushing sound they calm down. Or walk through the garden. In peaceful area's she will calm down." Said Kagome and sitting down so she could the fussy lord Inu Taisho to calm down and sleep.
Kagome held her son to her chest with his ears over her heart. He started to calm down and sleep. She was also shushing him and the young lord started to fall to sleep. Maniko was amazed at how fast that worked. He seemed to love the sound of the beating heart of his mother. Then she sat in the other chair and copied Kagome. The pup started to fall to sleep. It worked the sound was soothing the child. She was about to move when Kagome shook her head.
"You will wake her. The thing to do is wait for Inu Yasha to come and put her in the crib. By then she will be so out that she won't wake. I suggest taking a nap yourself." Kagome said and closed her eyes. She didn't get a long nap for Sesshoumaru came in and put their son in the crib.
"Tired?" He asked and she nodded.
"He fought the nap again. I also helped with Kanome. She was fighting hers too. Maniko was having a hard time. This is the first time it has happened. Plus it is her first nap. Inu Taisho was the same way. But her spirit told me to do that and it worked." She smiled knowing it would work on the others to. She leaned on Sesshoumaru and went to sleep.
Maniko was half asleep when the weight on her chest disappeared. Inu Yasha was in there. She heard Sesshoumaru instruct him on how to do it. He did it slowly and carefully. The child didn't wake at all.
"How many times did you wake dad?" He asked. Sesshoumaru smiled.
"None I have had practice because of Rin. Sometimes on trips back she fell asleep on Ah-un and I had to bring her to her room." He looked at his sleeping Miko and put her head on his lap. She was exhausted and he knew she would only wake when Inu Taisho needed to be fed. Or if he moved.
"How can you be so calm with her sleeping? I would move because…" Inu Yasha was stopped by Maniko.
"The Lady has never used her powers on him when she is asleep because she can't. When it was you it was because her spirit knew that you were not the one. She can't on him because they are meant to be so his Aura is the dominate one when she sleeps." Maniko Kissed Inu Yasha and went to nap. She too was tired.
"Here he walked her over to the second couch and sat down he grabbed her and did the same thing. Except he had her head against her chest. The woman fell asleep while the males kept a quiet watch. Miroku entered and saw the scene. He smiled.
"Interesting scene." He said with a sleeping princess in his arms. He walked her to the crib and laid her down. She stirred for a second and went back to sleep. He walked to the chair and relaxed.
"How is she already asleep with no fuse?" Asked Inu Yasha. Miroku smiled. He had his share of watching Shippo when Kagome and Sango were gone and he was no expert.
"Shippo was a handful when Kagome and Sango are gone. I occasionally had get the kit to bed. I see Kagome as a little sister so I watched him and put him to sleep. He occasionally would fight it. I told him Kagome wanted to be in bed when she got back. He wouldn't listen so I did the next best thing I held him and got him to sleep. She has done the same thing I had seen her. I guess she got that answer from her mom. But considering this is my child I had to do more. I held her to my heart but I rocked her to sleep she liked it. Sango doesn't know I can take care of the baby by myself." He said and relaxed.
"Your not tired?" asked Sesshoumaru. Miroku shook his head.
"I got used to more tiring days. I guess I can really hold on to energy since I got rid of the wind tunnel. Naraku is back and I don't have the curse." He looked at the sleeping girl on the lap of the Taiyoukai. Thinking to himself. I wonder if she did the same for me. I wouldn't doubt it. That would be our sweet Kagome. Not once thinking of herself. He smiled and went back to watching the children.
Sango arrived at the village to see her brother playing with the children. Keade came up to her and saw she seemed different. It struck odd because she remembered the birthing and new that Kohaku had no clue he was an uncle. Sango seemed off still.
"How are ye doing Sango?" asked the old priestess. Sang turned and nearly burst. He seemed happy yet depressed. He had to know the monster was back.
"I am worried. Kohaku must know he is back and may want his help. Plus I want him back at the castle and he seems happy." She said and Kohaku came to her.
"Sister how are you? Where have you been?" He asked and she explained where she was. Also that she wanted to take him with her back. He nodded and went to get his stuff.
"Kohaku only come if you want I don't want to force you in to this." She said and he nodded.
"I like the girl that lives with there she is sweet. I need to be with children my age any way." He said and went to get his stuff. Sango smiled and went with him. They got back to Kilala and the guard.
"Are we ready to get back? We will be back by night fall." Sango nodded. She new that Kagome or Maniko would take care of Izyao. Kohaku would be surprised when he saw his niece. She smiled at her brother.
"Let's go. I have a surprise for my brother when we get there."
Night fall
They approached the castle apparently nothing had happened. She went in and Kohaku was led to his room and to the nursery. He was curious as to why when he saw his sister in there talking to the others. He walked in and bowed.
"Thanks for allowing me to come." He said and Kagome hand Sesshoumaru his son/father. She walked to Kohaku and hugged him.
"No thanks needed. I consider you and your sister family. Since I will not be with mine for a while." She said and the boy hugged her back. Rin came out from behind the demon Lord.
"Kohaku-chan!" She said and tackled the boy.
"Rin! You and your brother need to go to bed." Said Kagome.
"But mom I wanted to say hi to Kohaku-chan." Sesshoumaru growled to let her know argument was not allowed.
"Yes dad. See you tomorrow Kohaku." She said and went to bed. Shippo said Hi and followed.
"Did she just call you mom?" Kagome nodded.
"I adopted the kit and Rin. I am the Mate To Sesshoumaru. She considers Sesshoumaru her dad since her parents were killed. I became Shippo's mom after we saved him. So when we mated I became Rin's mother and Sesshoumaru Shippo's father." She explained and put the pup in Sesshoumaru's arms into his crib.
"Sister what do you have?" He asked and Sango came up with her child.
"This is your niece. You can hold her. I had the Houshi's baby. Miroku and I plan to marry as well." She said and then Kilala growled at the window. Out there was a Spider demon and so Samiyosho. Sesshoumaru growled as did the other Youkai in the room. Kilala charged the window.
Kagome gasped and realized her bow was not there but remembered something she did when her son was threatened by Kikyo and Naraku. I need to make that blast again guide me Midoriko I need to protect my children. Think of the need protect and the feeling it causes then when the power raises push it out through your hand. Thanks milady. Call me mother since you are a descendant of me. Okay mom. She did as was told and the blast came out. The demons charging the window sensed the danger and moved. The demons out side didn't stand a chance.
"Kagome that was a first. You never did that before." Said Sango.
"I learned how just now Midoriko instructed me. I will have to ask her to train me." She said and walked to her room. Will you train me mother? I need to be trained in the miko ways to increase my abilities. Certainly I will. When you sleep I will train you. When Sesshoumaru comes tell him you won't need his training. I will be. Okay. Thanks. She said and opened her eyes. Sesshoumaru walked in the room.
"Dear I will no longer need that training. Midoriko has agreed to train me. I will do it as I sleep." She said he nodded and they went to bed. Kagome went straight to training that night.
(Kagome's Dream)
She entered a field like the visits before but this time she saw her ancestor in it. She had two swords and two sets of bow. One had Kagome's name on it. She walked up and bowed. Then grabbed the weapons. She could feel the sword twist and call to her. She looked at her "mother" and was curious.
"The sword is your twin in spirit. It was made and created to protect and serve others. I will train you with it and when you wake you will find it in your room. Totosai made it before I died. Now let's train you my child." She said and instructed the girl on how to use the sword and how to put her power in it. After that they trained her powers and manipulate it. She was getting used to the feel of it.
"Wow this feels great I feel like I could do anything with it." Said an excited girl. Kagome did a few more things and then it was time to wake.
"Time for you to wake I will train you more tonight." She hugged her and left.
(End)
Kagome woke and sat up then found the sword next to the wall near her wardrobe. She laughed and went to her son. He would be waking son. She fed him and bathed him. Then got them both dressed. She put the sword at her waist. Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha noticed the sword.
"When did you get that?" Asked Inu. Maniko noticed it then.
"I got it last night. Midoriko gave it to me. She said She had Totosai make it before she died. It has my name on it see." She should them the sheath and hilt. There they saw her name written on the sword. Sesshoumaru was amazed.
"You're her descendant aren't you?" Kagome nodded and saw the fear in his eyes. I won't be with him any more I know it. He is scared of me now. She thought ate and left the room. She could see all the servants in fear. She walked to the garden and sat under the tree. He will banish me and keep our son. I will never…see…them…again. She cried and sat there. Sango came in to the garden with Kohaku and saw Kagome in tears. She had heard the whole thing and knew where to find her sister. She was heartbroken for her. Sesshoumaru stayed out of sight and hide his aura.
"Kagome what's wrong?" Asked Sango calmly.
"I will never be with him again will I. I saw the fear and horror in his eyes. My mate is scared to be near me. I will be kicked out I can feel it." She said and broke down. She fears I would leave her because of her new found information. I admit I was scared but it appears she just found out. Thought the hidden lord.
"He wouldn't do that because one he would be a dead lord. His son would never allow that. Inu Taisho would go with you more then his dad. I would kill him if he did." Kagome snorted and then laughed.
"Thanks but I get this feeling like I will be because he seemed to become…I can't explain it. I felt my heart break at his face and then I was hit with a feeling of extreme fear. I don't think I could live with out him Sango. I know I couldn't in fact I love him to much. If he pushed me out I would certainly die." She said and looked at the pond knowing this is where she would go. The snake youkai would end it all.
What is she thinking? I could never hurt her again. I love her. I need to let her know I am here. He thought and let his aura out and walked to her. He pulled her into his arms. Her tears streaming down from her eyes. He knew then she was scared to lose him as he was scared of her powers. He knew she had control but it was when she let loose the abilities, was when he would need to be careful.
"I would never make you leave. I know you have control. I just need to wary when you get protective and angry. I would never stand a chance against such an awesome force as the powers you hold. I know the feeling. I can't live without you my mate. I don't know how I did it before." He said and kissed her. She turned into him and calmed down so much she went to sleep. She had cried herself to sleep. The next time she woke though would be an interesting time for right then she was having a short conversation with her ancestor.
Sorry I made a boring a corny chapter. I will do better next time. The next chapter you will find out how much of Kagome's mother Midoriko is. And what she was doing with the soul of Kikyo.
