I'm back everyone! After a very long hiatus (and having a massive writers block. need TNT to destory that thing) i have returned to finish the story of Kira and Sesshomaru. I apologize to everyone who has been waiting a very long this for this to be updated, but you follow writers know how it is right?

Well anyway, enough of my babbling. Here is the continued two years late update of New Dawn on Life!

Chapter 32

Sesshomaru, Taisho, Sango, Miroku, and Kilala left the next day to search for possible sightings of Naraku. Kira stood on the edge of the village, watching them go until she couldn't see them anymore. As promised, Kimi and Jaken stayed to help with Kira watch over the kids. Ah Un even stayed behind, mostly for Rin's sake.

It was a few days later and Kira was currently sitting on the fence of Keade's herb garden, watching Rin, Shippo and Haku chase Jaken around the field, his staff leaning against the fence she was on.

"The children sure like to chase that annoying toad around." Kimi said as she came up behind Kira.

She just smiled. "Yes they do. And i'm surprised to see Haku walking. He could barely stand on his own a few weeks ago." She said as she watched the little boy stumble around the feild after the toad.

Kimi smiled. "I remember when my son first started walking. I had forgotten all about the Oracle's predictions about his future. I was just so happy to see him standing on his own. He had the biggest smile on his face. He was so cute."

Kira smiled as she imagined Haku looking like a baby Sesshomaru. She then giggled.

"What is it?" Kimi asked as she looked at her.

"I just imagined Haku as Sesshomaru when he was a baby." She said through a fit of giggles. "He must have been so adorable."

Kimi looked over at Haku and then smiled. "Yes. He was a very curious child. One day we were out in the garden and this butterfly flew past him. He stared at it with his cute golden eyes and then started to run after it. I was very amused to see him running around the garden following the butterfly."

Kira smiled. "My father told me once that i found a little frog in our backyard and i started to follow it, hopping around just like one. He couldn't stop laughing at how cute i was." She said as she looked at the demoness. "I was only 6 years old then."

Kimi nodded and then sighed sadly. "Sesshomaru was 8 maybe even 9 when i left. The feeling of being trapped and the fear of seeing my son one day becomeing a killer finally got to me. I left when he and his father were asleep. I left my cloths that i wore that day in InuTaisho's arms so he would believe i was still there. I kissed Sesshomaru gently on the forehead and then fled into the darkness."

Kira sighed. "Kimi. That's all in the past now. Sesshomaru has forgiven you for leaving him at such a young age. You should just put it behind you. Besides..." She said as she smiled at her, patting her belly. "I need someone to look after our babies should he and i ever need some alone time."

Kimi nodded and smiled. "Anytime you want me to look after them just let me and Taisho know."

Kira nodded and then gasped, holding her stomach.

"Kira?" Kimi asked as she looked at the girl.

"I'm alright. One of them just kicked me in the ribs." She said as she rubbed the top of her belly. "I think it might have been Kenji. He tends to be the rough one and kicks me in the ribs anytime he's unhappy at what he hears."

"You're son can understand you already?" Kimi asked as she looked at Kira's belly.

"Yeah. Hoshimaru is pretty quiet but I can tell that she can hear me too. Kenji is just the more...physical when he listens." She said as she continued to rub her belly.

Kimi nodded. "Sesshomaru was like that too. He wouldn't stop kicking me when he was still growing inside me."

Kira smiled and then they both started laughing, talking about embaressing stories about Sesshomaru.

Meanwhile, the group had been heading east, following a lead they had found from a village they had stopped at.

"So you and your brother do this every day?" Taisho asked as they roamed the country side.

"Exactly father." Sesshomaru said as he led the group through the forest.

"Sango and I merely search these lands for shards of the Shikon Jewel." Miroku said as he walked beside his wife.

Taisho nodded. "I see. And what about you my son?"

"I was patroling the lands for quiet some time before the Shikon Jewel and Naraku business came to be. I have since become determined to make sure that pitiful excuse for a half demon parishes for deceiveing me and harming Rin on few occasions." Sesshomaru said as he pushed a branch out of his way.

InuTaisho nodded. "I see. And what about these fights i have been hearing about between you and your little brother? Hmm?"

Sesshomaru silently groaned. Why do i have a feeling that he was going to be asking about this? "I believed Inuyasha to be a disgrace to our noble blood. He is reckless and stubborn. He isn't even worthy of having Tetsusaiga. Which i still to this very day, do not understand why you gave such a powerful sword to a half wit like him."

Sango, Miroku and even Kilala sighed. They pretty much figured that Taisho was going to be asking about this after they had all told him about the numorous fights that the brothers had. They choose to remain silents as father and son talked.

"But he is still your brother. It shouldn't have mattered that he was born a half demon." He then sighed heavily. "I gave Inuyasha Tetsusaiga so that his demon half could be kept at bay. Without it, it will consum him to the point where it could possibly kill him. Without the sword, he could very well die to the power of his demon side."

Sesshomaru was silent as his father explained. He then suddenly sneezed.

"Someone must be talking about you my son." Taisho said as he chuckled.

"And i have an idea of who it might be." Sesshomaru said as he looked up at the sky above. The first stars were starting to appear as the sun began to set beyond the horizen. He sighed softly as he stared at one particular star. He then looked at the white hair ribbon that was tied in a neat bow on his shoulder armor. The scent of his mate calmed his beast and kept the blood rage at bay. Kira. How i miss you so. He thought as he followed the group until they had found a clearing to rest for the night.

It was later that night and Sesshomaru woke from his slumber. He looked around the camp seeing everyone was still asleep and the camp fire had gonna out but the embers were still glowing.

He looked up at the moon and sighed softly. Why is it that i can't sleep? Could it possibly be that without Kira beside me, I lack the calm to sleep peacefully?

He sighed softly at the thought of Kira again. He knew she was safe back in Keade's village but he was still worried about her.

He was soon brought out of his thoughts when a sound in the distence reached his ears. It sounded like someone was running from something. He could hear their foot falls as they hit the earth.

He silently stood and walked into the forest quietly, not wanting to wake the group. But once he was a good distence away, he started running toward the sound.

It wasn't long until he smelted a scent that was somehow simalur to Sango but at the same time wasn't.

Could it be her little brother? He thought as he remembered the boy Kohaku and seeing him on a few occasions. Including the one time that he had rescued Rin from a band of demons, only to be taken over by the jewel in his back and was almost about to kill his little ward. It has to be the boy. I could never forget a scent that almost harmed Rin. And if i remember correctly, Sango did ask me to not kill him and spare his life.

He soon jumped into the trees and continued running toward Kohaku's scent. If he is indeed ahead, i must rescue him for her. She's been through enough over this affair.

He then jumped high into the air and, in the distence, saw the familiar black and green clad demon slayer boy. And from what he could tell, the boy was fighting a bunch of demons that were attacking him. And that the boy was out-numbered and losing.

Not tonight you filth. The boy must live. He said as he drew Tokijin and flew toward the battlefeild.

Kohaku spun his weapon around as he faced the demons. He was panting from fighting these demons that just won't stop chasing him. He also had an injury in his arm from a demon biting him eariler.

This isn't good. I've lost to much blood. He thought as he struggled to stay awake and fight off the demons. What did i do to deserve this? Oh yeah, that stupid shard in my back is what started this. Damn Naraku! I blame you for all this.

A snake demon hissed as he slithered forward. "Give it up boy. The sssshard issss of no ussssse to you. Hard it over and we jusssst might ssspare you."

"Like i'm going to cooperate with demons." And besides, i'll die without the shard. He thought as he glared at the demon.

He then jumped as he saw blue lightning strike the ground, killing the demons in it's path. Next thing he knew, Lord Sesshomaru lands before him with his sword at his side.

"Boy? Are you injured?" he asked over his shoulder as he glared at the demons.

Kohaku didn't know what happened to his voice but he was just in shock. What is he doing here? Why is he saving me?

"Move it filth!" Said a lowly boar demon. "We found the boy first! His shard is ours."

Sesshomaru just humped. "Like i have any use for a jewel shard." He then swung his blade and made more of the same blue lightning come forth, killing more of the demons before him, including that one boar demon. "But the boy is a different matter. Leave him be."

"LIKE HELL WE WILL!" said a lizard demon as he rushed forward.

Sesshomaru smirked and grabbed the demon by the throat. "Then die." He summoned his poison to his claws and sank them into the demons flesh.

The demon writhered in pain as the poison went into his blood stream. Sesshomaru believed it must have been a long time since he lasted used his poison, for the demon soon died in his hand within minutes. He tossed the body aisde as the rest of the demons reared up and attacked him.

"Pathetic." He quickly sheathed Tokijin and summoned his energy whip. With expert grace and skill, he made the whip fly around in the air, killing off the rest of the demons before him.

Once he was sure they were all dead, he smirked. He then turned around and groaned.

Kohaku lay on the ground, unconscious and bleeding.

That explains why you were so silent and why i smelled blood half way here. He thought as he went over to the boy. He kneel beside the boy and carefully picked him up off the ground. I'm glad Sango brought Kagome's medical supplies. The boy is going to need it once i get back to camp. He then started running and jumped, flying back to where the camp and the group were.

Taisho had noticed the his son's scent was gone and had woken up. "Where has that boy gone?" he asked out loud as he looked around.

"What's going on Taisho?" Miroku asked as he woke up to the lord walking around.

"Sesshomaru is gone." He said as he looked over at the monk. "And i smell a hint of blood in the air. It's very unsettling."

"I'm sure Sesshomaru is fine." Sango said as she too woke up. "Maybe he's just taking a walk."

Taisho just continued to paced about the camp site.

"Father? What are you doing?" Sesshomaru asked as he came into the clearing.

"Sesshomaru? What have you gone? And..." He soon realized the smell that was coming off his son. "And why do you smell like blood and burned demons."

"Sesshomaru?" Sango's eyes were wide as she slowly stood, staring at what was in his arms. "Who...who is that?"

He sighed and went over to the demon slayer. She gasped as she recognized the boy as he got closer.

"I found him while i was taking a walk to clear my mind." He said as he placed the boy before Sango. "I could smell a bunch of demons and his blood while i vantured into the forest. I killed all the demons once i got to where he was and then found that he had become unconsious. He is wounded and i think he's lost to much blood."

"Brother? My brother?" She was about to cry as he looked at her brother before her. She then picked him up and held him in her arms. "Kohaku! Oh Kohaku! You're alive after all this time!" She said as she cryied on her brother.

"Sango he's still bleeding and it needs to be tended to quickly." Miroku said as he came over to his wife to try and pry the boy from his sister's arms.

"What? Oh." She looked at her brother and noticed the wound in his right forearm. "Oh of course." She wiped away her tears and reached over for Kagome's bag. She opened it and then started looking for the first aid kit.

InuTaisho went over to his son in shock. "You saved him didn't you?"

"Yes father." He then explained what he knew of what happened to the village of demon slayers, how Sango meet Inuyasha and his group and how Kohaku came to be brought back from the dead with a jewel shard and then Naraku was able to control the boy at times. "But something seems different this time."

"This time?" His father asked as he watched Sango wrap a bandage on the boys' wound.

"Yes. I could see it in his eyes. He recognized me the moment i came into the fight. From what i knew, his memories had been erased thanks to Naraku. But it seems that barrier to his memories has broken. How? I do not know why. But i believe he does indeed remember his past and what has become of him."

InuTaisho nodded. "Yes i would seem so. By why save him?"

"Sango's son, Haku, was named after Kohaku. For the pasted few years, we had all believed him to had been dead." He said as he looked at Sango soon holding the boy close to her again, as if fearing this was all a dream that was about to faded away. "Seems we were all wrong in out assumption of the young slayer."

"Hey guys."

Both demons looked over at Miroku.

"We have to take him back to Keade's village. I know we have to look for Naraku but i thinks it's best that we take Kohaku someplace safe."

"I agree." Sesshomaru as he went over to the two demon slayers. "It's best if we get him out of here so no more harm can come to him."

Sango nodded as she looked at Sesshomaru. "Yes. I don't want to lose him again. Not after all these years of believing him to be dead."

InuTaisho nodded. "Very well then. In the morning, we shall head back to the village. Besides, i miss Kimi."

Sesshomaru nodded. And i miss my Kira. He soon went back over to his spot that he was at before and tried to get back to sleep, dreaming of Kira and how big she must be by now.
