Satomi sent a disapproving look to the young man "Well that was rude Inuyasha apologize" she stated in a
motherly tone. Inuyasha's ears flattened to his skull "But Satomi really you don't know him like I do" he tried to
plead with the woman. Satomi's eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms over her chest; many in the room
suddenly knew where Kagome got her mothering from as Kagome was without a doubt a spitting image of her
mother with that look. Inuyasha saw the look and dropped his head "Keh, fine sorry" he bit out not looking at any
of them. Satomi smiled "See that wasn't so hard" the rest of the room by than where trying hard not to laugh at the
poor guy. Sesshomaru still standing looking out the window smirked, it seemed it wasn't only the miko that had
some weird power over his brother but the female's mother as well.
Turning around Sesshomaru gracefully pulled the hair band from his hair and his concealing spell fell with it. Satomi
gasped at the male that now stood before her, if he was handsome before he was downright gorgeous now.
Sesshomaru once more wanted to smirk but held his mask perfect "I am Sesshomaru half-brother to Inuyasha and
lord of the west" he stated in his deep timber. Kagome by the entry way huffed at his dramatic introduction "Yeah
yeah, all powerful full demon blah blah blah, come on mom lets have some dinner" she said once more turning
away. "Kagome" her mother said in a tone Kagome knew all too well. "What" she spun back around looking at her
mother "That is no way to talk to a man that was nice enough to bring you over here" her mother said sternly.
Kagome only stared for a minuet then bust out in a laugh "Oh mom" she said looking at her pityingly "Man has he
got you fooled."
The others in the room watched the verbal spat like a tennis match looking from one to the other. They all were
wondering who would win most of them knew how stubborn Kagome was but it seemed she got it from her mother
so it could be a tie. Sesshomaru wanted to growl at the miko she was degrading him to her mother and though he
wasn't sure why it mattered they were only human and beneath him anyways, but it bothered him. It was 500
years ago surely the miko couldn't still hold his few minor attempts to kill her against him. "Young lady you will
apologize" Satomi said in her stern mother tone, Kagome only shook her head "I won't mom you don't know what
he is capable of and until he apologizes I won't even think of doing so for insulting him" she said back just as stern.
Rin not liking the tension in the room broke it "Satomi would you like to help me and the other ladies get dinner set
up?" she asks in her normal gentle tone. Satomi quickly distracted much like her daughter nodded "That would be
lovely maybe you all could even tell me stories of my daughter when she was with you" she said hopefully. Kagome
never told the whole story to her mother and Satomi was more than aware of it, and after the well closed Kagome
stopped talking about it all together.
Kagome huffed as the four women walked by her she almost got in a fight with her mom and now she needed to
blow off some steam. The younger of the kids walked off to play she assumed leaving the 4 males and the three
teenagers. Than an idea popped up maybe she could get Inuyasha to spar with her a bit and teach Sota a few
things at the same time. "Spar with me" Kagome demanded looking right to Inuyasha, he at first was a little taken
back she never once wanted to fight with him and now he wasn't sure if he wanted to after seeing her earlier. "I
don't know if that's such a good idea Kags" he said looking somewhat scared. "What little brother scared of the
miko you once protected?" Sesshomaru taunted. And that was all it took, Inuyasha growled and jumped off the
couch "Alright wench but I won't hold back" he said offended by his brother. The dark smirk that appeared on
Kagome's face once more had him wanting to back down but his brother's snide remark was still firmly in place. "I'm
counting on it" Kagome stated as she waved her hand for him to lead her to where they could spar. "Come on Sota
no time like the present to learn" she said with a smile. "Huh?" he asked looking at her like she lost her mind.
Kagome giggled "You're a priest you have the same powers I do just untrained maybe your little girlfriend there will
even spar with you" she said winking at him. Both teens blushed and a dark growl could be heard down the hall.
Suddenly Sota stopped mid step and turned to Mya "Oh god Yasha is your dad" he stated as if it just now sunk in.
Mya only stared at him "Yeah" she said like it wasn't that big of a deal. Sota groaned and put his head down "That's
right you got to ask him if you can see Mya" Daiski taunted from the side and laughed as Sota groaned again. Mya
felt like she was in the dark, what was so bad about her dad. Kagome walked over to Sota and put her arm around
both him and Daiski "Well maybe your great nephew here will spar with you instead than" she said smiling to both.
"Pfft I'm a youki grandma" he said dragging out the new title. Kagome popped him upside the back of the head "No
need to exaggerate the new title runt" she said in a motherly tone. Daiski rubbed the back of his head and huffed
"Come on I'll show you to the sparing grounds" he said walking ahead of the siblings.
Sesshomaru had watched the three with a detached interest, he found it odd after the hard time Kagome had given
him upon meeting again that she now felt it right to ignore his presents. Well he would just have to fix that on the
sparing fields. He walked behind the three unnoticed or simply ignored he wasn't sure but either way it pissed him
off and he curled his hand in to a fist. They made it out behind the mansion to come to a huge field that had a
barrier around it and even if Kagome couldn't see it she could feel it. Walking up to it she gently put her hand to it
and felt the youki used to create it; it was Shiori's work and what a piece of work it was. She hummed slightly yes it
would hold up to any youki but her powers would bust it if she didn't add her own to it. Slowly she in tuned her
powers as close to the barrier's as she could and let her energy flow in to it.
The youki around her watched as the deep red of the barrier changed to a deep purple with the infused miko ki
added to it. Leeya now just behind Kagome gasped "How can a miko and youki powers mix?" she asks astonished.
Kagome turned and looked at her grandson "Well Daiski is here, is he not the mix of both powers?" she asked
looking to Leeya. Leeya hummed she never thought of it that way all of Shippo's and Rin's kits were the product of
both powers mixing. "It is my guess that him as well as his siblings have not even tapped in to half of their
potential" Kagome said with a thoughtful look back at the barrier. Sesshomaru watched the miko walk through the
barrier and had the same thought even if Rin was not as powerful as Kagome her kits would still have some of her
power in their bodies that had yet to be tapped in to. Daiski looked at his grandmother slack jawed, here this
woman was only around for a few hours and already pointing out things all of them had never even thought to
question before.
Kagome walked up to Inuyasha who was in the middle of the field his great fang already out and transformed in to
its grand state. She smiled wistfully at the fang she was always behind it in her younger years and while it didn't
scare her to now be in front of it she still had a great respect for the blade its creator and the male now wielding it.
Kagome walked up and ran her hand along the wide blade and felt it hum and pulse in greeting to her. She looked
up to Inuyasha's widened eyes "So ready to see just how much I'm not like Kikyo " she said in jest. Inuyasha was
about to retort when he felt the impact of her foot to his knee. He quickly jumped back glaring at his best friend
"What the hell wench" he shouted. Kagome laughed and feel in to a fighting stance she knew all too well "Come on
Yash you got to be quicker than that, I haven't even begun to use my miko ki to enhance my speed" she taunted.
Inuyasha grinned at her, if she wanted to play hard ball he'd play but she wasn't going to like it. "Just don't get all
whiney when you lose Kags" he said with his classic grin. Kagome laughed out right at his statement "So long as
you don't start sulking when I show you how to use that sword of yours" she stated back confidently. Inuyasha
almost fell for the distraction of her words but brought his hand up just in time to block a kick aimed at the side of
his head "Keh, like you could take it away" he growled out, grabbing her ankle and tossing her behind him.
When he spun around to look at her again she was gone nowhere in sight at all. He looked left than right than
behind him again, before he knew what was happening it was too late he felt a weight on his left shoulder than
saw a foot coming strait at his face. Inuyasha went flying backwards losing his sword in the prosses. Never had he
been hit so hard and that was saying something. He sat up from his position on the ground to see something he
never would have thought, there in the middle of the field stood Kagome Tessaiga in hand and braced on her
shoulder much like he himself does. "You were saying Yash?" she said a smirk equal to any he had ever seen on his
brother sitting on her face. "How in the hell can you even wield it" he asked walking up to her.
Kagome never got a chance to respond she felt the presence behind her and knew who it was and why he thought
he could sneak up on her. She quickly pushed Inuyasha back and swung the mighty fang around the clashing of
metal on metal could be heard. There now stood Kagome wielding Tessaiga one handed against Sesshomaru
wielding his Bakusaiga, Kagome glared at said demon. "Don't" the one word was said with such venom Sesshomaru
wondered where the woman that was sparing with his brother went. "Did you not wish to spar miko, it is obvious
that my brother is not a match for such" he said watching as she shifted her feet slightly putting more power behind
the blade. "Oh and I suppose you are all mighty Sesshomaru" she sneered at him. "Hn" he studied her he really
didn't want to hurt her maybe getting rid of the swords would be for the best for both. Though he didn't know how
she was doing it, it was clear that she could and would handle Tessaiga to its full potential if given the chance.
Rin had come out of the house when she felt the rise in miko ki, and it wasn't the rise that worried her but the
strong anger that was laced in it. She came up to the field to see her father and mother locked sword to sword, yep
it was a good thing that dinner was done this couldn't be good. "Dinner is ready" she shouted as she walked faster
to them. Kagome took a deep breath and jump away from Sesshomaru handing Tessaiga back to its rightful owner
and smiled to Rin. "Great I'm starving "she said with a smile and walked off to the house, Rin watched as all the rest
followed but Sesshomaru. She felt the flare of his youki as his sword once more disappeared "Everything ok" she
asked her concern evident. Sesshomaru smiled truly smiled at his daughter "Fine Rin" he said and made to follow
the rest. Rin let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, something just made her father very happy for him
to smile that way.
