Chapter 22: Meeting Father... the Prophecy told.
"Someone should better start explaining." spoke Sesshomaru as he stared the elusive Hirohito in the eyes his gaze never wavering as they stared each other down.
"You must be Sesshomaru lord of the west, you are lucky I was going to come pay you a visit, I heard you had my daughter?." he spoke as he ignored what Sesshomaru had said and instead asked his own question. Sesshomaru's grip on Kagome tightened.
"You had nothing to worry about she is the safest she could possibly be with me."
figurative electricity sparked through the water with the intensity of their locked eyes as each man tried to out will the other.
"Hm, I guess so, but news flows quickly like the tide and as fast as tsunami making land fall my people would have been upon your home."
"that makes be very slow, because I have been with your daughter for two months now, when did you plan on coming, when she was old and withered?"
Hitohiro glared at Sesshomaru, as Sesshomaru gaze back his own arctic glare which was enough to freeze water. Man if looks could kill those two would have murdered each other an infinite amount of times.
" I do not have to answer to you."
Kagome had about enough of the fighting and squeezed Sesshomaru's knee and when his head shifted slightly in her direction he knew she had his attention, even though his eyes had not strayed from the battle of wills he was having with her father.
"Dad, what is mother talking about." her father's gaze moved from Sesshomaru with a dismissive indifference that only someone of power could pull off and softened as it landed on his daughter.
He walked over and pulled up a chair next to his wife and sat.
"She's talking about the prophecy it goes:
a girl of noble blood, the oceans own creation
gives birth to the jewel of the nations
hidden within her, only her voice will reach
but the trouble lies where the darkness creeps
she walks the trail of space, but the path may be out of Fathers control
and blood will spill on her mothers children, death and destruction assured
its her choice that will kill and the the price will fall to the world
but if life be her choice,
and she fights the good fight,
with the help of the west.
he will put them to the test
but all is not lost with the moons strength and life
she may bare the strife
take on the gore to right the wrong
of the hanyou's spawn.
I am positive that the girl is Utako, but I cant decipher the prophecy, I have gone to the farthest areas that the ocean and seas may reach and even places on land, but I have yet to find anyone that can tell us what it means for her"
Sesshomaru had been quite and decided that it was time to speak up.
"The hanyou is Naraku, it has been said that he was looking for a jewel that grants wishes, and I assume he knows Kagome has said jewel, thats why he was after her. I am the embodiment of the west and the moon, the silver inu has held that title for all time. The hanyou's spawn could be his disgusting creations, or the demons he makes from his own body?"
everyone in the room looked to Sesshomaru as he spoke. But Hirohito spoke up.
"What else do you know?"
"You obviously have not looked everywhere. That is all I can tell you but I know of a monk that could help greatly with this prophecy."
"I see and he is obviously on land?"
"Yes. I can always go and speak with him."
"I will go with you." spoke Kagome.
"No you will not Utako, I can not have you lost to me, the time for that prophecy to come true is approaching, I can feel it in my bones."
"Father, the prophecy obviously says that I will not be able to fight off this evil with out the son of the west and that is Sesshomaru, I will be safer with him, he is my intended."
"What? When?"
"that is why he's here, to ask permission for my hand."
Hirohito sat back in his seat. His little girl was growing up, he looked up at Kagome to see her looking at him with the most adorable big blue puppy eyes ever. His heart softened, and swelled with pride to see his eyes looking back at him on the face of his beautiful daughter. He then glanced at the demon next to her and watched as he held on to her.
"I.. I ..." he paused in concentration, his head dropping as he thought. he would not make a mistake, that would cost her dearly and he wanted to protect her from the world, but he also wanted her happy.
He looked up at his daughter "I..."
