Chapter 11

"Okasan, What's the matter, you seem awfully sick, are you ok?" Big gold eyes stared at his mother as she lay in her bed.

"Sesshomaru Darling, I, I am going away for awhile, and when I go just remember that I will always love you." Rumiko's eyes closed, "Sesshomaru, Go to your father, he is home." A tear slid down her check.

"Yes Mother," He walked silently out of room and shut the door. He ran to his father's Study. His Father and a human were there. This human woman was pretty, not as pretty as Sesshomaru's mother of course but, for a human she was very pretty.

"Oh, Hello Sesshomaru," His golden eyes turned from the human woman; Known as Izayoi, to his young son, "Have a seat."

Sesshomaru regally walked over to his father's Desk and kneeled in front of him as his father kneeled on the other side of desk. Izayoi stood.

"Sesshomaru, your mother is a very sick woman," Inu no Taishou paused trying to find the right words to say, "I fear that she doesn't have very long, in this world." His voice was soft and sorrowful, "I want my son to grow up in a home with a mother," He looked at Izayoi who was playing with the hemming in her Kimono sleeve, "As you may have detected, my sent is on this woman."

Sesshomaru sniffed her and came to the conclusion that this was true, "Why does she have your sent on you father? Why does she have the sent of a child…."at that moment Sesshomaru knew what was going on. Izayoi Had been in the castle a lot in the last few weeks, He had noticed that there was something strange about her but he hadn't been this close to her before. He also found something strange. When she first came to the castle, his mother had been getting sick.

"She is with child, Sesshomaru and I would like it if would welcome her and the pup into your life and because of how sick your mother is she will be your new moth..."

"SHUT UP!" Sesshomaru's eye were faintly glowing red, "I will not accept this human whore as my mother!!!"

"YOU INNSOLENT FOOL! You Will NEVER speak to your new mother like that!" Inu no Taishou's inner youkai was starting to come out.

"She isn't even dead and you're replacing my mother and YOUR mate!!" Sesshomaru was starting to transform, just then he could hear his mother calling him. He reverted back to his Humanoid form and quickly left the room.

Sesshomaru was shaking fiercely, He had never started to transform like that before, He was only ten and his power was starting to rival his fathers. This power scared him. But what really scared him was the idea of his father betraying his own mate so easily.

Sesshomaru looked at the frightened girls, the anger barley evident in his eyes, but inside he felt like he was burning up. "I should beat you senseless Senkaia," He then looked over at Rin, who was just starting to wake up, "Rin. Go inside."

Rin got up, bowed in respect, and ran into the castle to find Jaken. She had no clue what was about to happen.

He waited until Rin was out of sight and out of hearing range; He picked Senkaia up by the collar, threw her down and struck her. Tears were streaming down her Face. Just as Sesshomaru was about to strike her again he heard Kagome shouting.

"Sesshomaru Stop it! Please Let her go!" Kagome was pleading with him, "Please stop!" She quickly walked over to him and stood at his side. She gently placed her hand on his arm. She then gasped when she saw the red in his eye, "Please stop this, if you want to punish someone, punish me. I was the one who asked about your mother." Kagome's voice was barely above a whisper.

He didn't take his eyes off of her, "Senkaia go inside and grab a basin of water and some towels."

Senkaia Picked up herself from the ground and ran to the castle sobbing.

Sesshomaru then back handed Kagome, "You should never have asked," he continued to strike her and beat her. Tears were streaming down her face. She was praying that he wouldn't kill her, or make the damage too bad. She could start to taste some blood in her mouth when he stopped.

"You May return to the castle Senkaia." Kagome looked over to see her new friend horrified.

Kagome then looked at Sesshomaru, The red in his eyes was gone, and he had a strange expression on his face. He almost looked like he had just been quarrelling with a lover. He then did something very strange. He handed her the basin of water and dipped a cloth in it he then wiped her face. Kagome felt something funny inside, 'Why would he do this? He just beat me and now he shows me kindness?'

"Don't make me do that again," he put the cloth back into the basin. He stood up and started to walk away, "Kagome."

Sango and Miroku laid side by side in one of Kagome's Sleeping Bags. The summer was ending and it was starting to become cool again. Miroku was sleeping with a smile on his face. He was very happy that Sango had forgiven him. Sango, however, was still awake. She couldn't stop worrying about her best friend. She never had a best friend before and had never been close to girls before. She didn't really get a chance to know her mother because she died giving Birth to Kohaku, and all the other women in the village were busy in the home.

She then noticed that Shippo was starring at the moon, "Hey Shippo, shouldn't you be asleep? You can sleep with me and Miroku; I promise he won't do anything bad."

"Thank you but, I'm not sleepy," he then let out a huge yawn.

"You miss Kagome Don't you?" Sango sat herself up.

"Yah, I do, don't tell anyone this but, Kagome was like my mother, and InuYasha was kinda like a father."

"I thought you didn't like InuYasha," Sango teased.

"I don't know how I feel about him. I think that He likes Kagome but, Kagome loves him. I don't like people hurting my Okasan. I think Kagome needs to get with someone strong, and that can provide for her the way she needs to be provided for."

"Wow Shippo, that's a very mature. Well then who do you think she should be with? Koga?"

Shippo laughed, "No! I think Sesshomaru."

Sango looked at him in disbelief, "You can't be serious! Shippo, I think you need to get some rest." She giggled.

"Make fun of me all you want but I still think that if he grew a heart they would be perfect together."

Sango giggled again, she then laid back down, "okay Shippo. Now I'm going to go to bed, you can join us when you get sleepy. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Sango," He then looked up at the moon and whispered, "Goodnight Kagome."

Somewhere deep in the forest of Japan a golden eyed Hanyou jumped to the top of a tree and looked at the moon, "Damn, It's good to be alive!"
