One Mean Daddy

Sora had more than a feeling that if her father could he'd strangle her right now. Chained to the demon hunter had made him a very unhappy demon and she could feel his eyes drilling holes into her back as she walked slightly ahead of them. Luckily Sango had long strides to begin with otherwise her father would have been dragging her by now. Back at the valley they'd tried for another hour to break the chain but not even simultaneously hitting it with her sword and Inu yasha's could break the chain. And so Sesshoumaru and Sango now walked side by side as they continued to walk towards their destination, as far from each other as was possible. Ferio was really going to get a taste of her blade when he showed up again.

"Sora, can I ask you a question?" Kagome asked moving to walk beside her niece. Looking at her aunt wearily Sora hoped that whatever the question was it was one that she could answer.

"You can ask, I won't guarantee that I'll answer it." Sora said as she looked at Kagome briefly before turning her eyes back to the road ahead of them. This wasn't suppose to get interesting until later but just on the slight chance that her family had left something out she saw no problem with keeping a sharp eye out.

"Fair enough. I just wanted to ask you, my children, do they look more demon then human or the other way around? I just want to know if I'll be able to take them to my world to see my family there." Kagome asked with a hopeful look on her face. "You don't see many quarter demons around here and I was just wondering."

"They look more human then demon. Some of them have golden eyes like Inu yasha which are considered unusual but that doesn't really set them apart. Your children are nearly as at home on your world as they are here." Sora explained, seeing no harm in the question. "When we were little and went with you to the real world your mother would parade us in front of all her friends and they'd ohhh and awww over our golden eyes and elfish ears. Talk about cheek pinchers."

"You came as well?" Kagome asked in surprise.

"Well my parents did need a break from my brothers and I some of the time. Your mother considers my brothers and I her grandchildren as well since Inu yasha and Sesshoumaru are brothers. We were often allowed to come too." Sora said with a faint smile of remembrance. "We sure got into a lot of trouble over there."

"I'll bet." Kagome said with an answering smile, delighted with her response. She'd always hoped that her children would be able to be passed off as normal human beings so that she could take them to her old world. She knew how much her family missed her and it would have hurt her mother not to be able to see her grandchildren and show them off to her friends. Plus she was thrilled that in the future Inu yasha and Sesshoumaru got along, they were brothers after all and the only blood family they had. "So do we live near you and your family or far away?"

"You don't live more than half an hour away from our borders, we see each other a lot. That's why Ferio was so upset when he appeared here. He'd attacked our lower border thinking to catch my family unaware, he wasn't counting on our younger family members putting up much of a fight." Sora said with a dark look. "Big mistake."

"The battle took place on my land?" Sesshoumaru said, speaking up for the first time since he'd accepted the fact that the chain wasn't coming off any time soon. He'd been listening to the girl speak and he wasn't liking the picture she was painting at all. The very thought of living close to his brother, raising their families together was enough to turn his stomach. What was this future and how had it gotten so messed up?

"Yup, in the lower east corner, we were playing football when he showed up, the bastard. Just when we were about to win too." Sora said with a faintly pissed off look crossing her face before vanishing. "One more down would have been all it would have taken to secure it."

"What's football?" Sango asked, deciding to join the conversation. How the future Sora was describing could be possible was beyond her. Sesshoumaru and Inu yasha had yet to even begin to accept each other's existence, much less call a truce. What had happened to change everything so drastically?

"It's a game where you throw a lemon shaped ball around while tackling your opponents to the ground." Sora explained with relish at the thought of one of her favorite games to play. "You should have seen when Kyou tackle Wufei to the ground, it was a beautiful hit. Hotaru had just thrown him the ball and he was in mid air when Kyou got him from behind. Man did he fly."

"I would imagine." Kagome said having seen a few football games of her own. "A sport that demons could appreciate anyway."

"What's the purpose of the game?" Sango asked curiously, it sounded like a vicious but interesting game to play.

"Well basically the point of the game is to get the ball from one end of the field to the other without the other team stealing your ball or knocking you into the dirt. You have to get so far up the field during your turn with the ball or else you lose it and the other team gets it. A lot of it is brute force and strategy. You have to plan out who goes where, who tackles who, what play to run, etc etc. Aunt Kagome always comes along when we play to fix us up afterwards." Sora said with a grin. "At least half the members on each team will need medical attention before the game ends."

"And this is a human game?" Sesshoumaru said, surprised that they would come up with such a physically demanding and skill requiring game.

"Yup, you're pretty good at it, Father. We often play our family against Uncle Inu yasha's, when you guys play it gets really interesting." Sora said with a smirk. "Then a lot of us have to be helped off the field."

"That doesn't surprise me at all." Sango said with a dark look in Sesshoumaru direction. "So who was all with you when Ferio attacked?"

"Well most of us kids were there except for the oldest ones who went with Father to go hunting for Ferio. You were back at the manor with Miroku and Rin, Sango. Oh and Jakken was with you too. When Ferio appeared we sent Hotaru and Wufei to go and send the alarm. You guys all arrived at the tail end of it." Sora said with a sigh. "And if he hadn't gone and teleported we would have had him and he knew it, the slimy bastard."

"Do you think anyone was badly hurt?" Kagome asked, instinctively worried about her as yet unborn children. If that asshole had harmed any of them she was going to shoot so many arrows into him that he'd look like a pincushion.

"No, he didn't fatally wound any of us though he did get it a few licks." Sora answered, thinking of what Triton had said. "Don't worry, Aunt Kagome. There's a good reason why our families are revered by demons and humans alike. We actually rarely have to fight in actual battles anymore. Our reputations usually scare them off."

"That is to be expected." Was Sesshoumaru's arrogant opinion, rather pleased at her report. It was good to know that at least one thing had stayed the same.

"But wouldn't the other demons look down on you because you're not a full blooded demon?" Inu yasha inquired from the front of the line. He could well remember that his behavior or personality as a child hadn't mattered. All that mattered was that he was a half breed, caught between two worlds, belonging in neither.

"Some do but the majority know better." Sora said with more then a hint or pride. "Rin is fully human but many full blooded demons asked Sesshoumaru for her when she was of age. My brothers have their choice of female company in both demon and human worlds, they're accepted in both. The few that have looked down upon us are quickly made to realize their mistake."

"Are they really afraid of me too, Sora?" Shippou asked from Kagome's arms, having been woken up from the sound of their voices.

"Of course they are." Sora said with a smile and a wink. "Scared spitless of you."

"So do I marry a demon?" Rin asked from her Master's side. She'd always wanted to marry a demon when she grew up who was just like her Master.

"You'll have to wait and see, Rin. But I can tell you that he is very handsome and powerful." Sora said turning her head so that she was facing Rin briefly before facing the front again. She didn't want to see her father's face concerning this subject. "You're very happy with him and he and father get along………most of the time."

"Most of the time?" Sesshoumaru said with a raised eyebrow. Apparently not only had he let someone take his possession as a mate but he also didn't even like the person he'd given her to? What the hell?

"It's a long story." Sora said with a sigh that went slight more evil as an idea occurred to her. She really shouldn't, but what the hell. "Just trust me when I say you won't live to regret it. After all, if you'd refused his suit you wouldn't have your adorable grandchildren."

"GRANDCHILDREN!" Everyone in the group yelled nearly together as they all gapped at Sora who only smiled back at them with more than a hint of glee in her eyes. She was related to Inu yasha after all.

"Did I forget to mention that?"

"I have grandchildren?" Sesshoumaru demanded in a barely controlled voice that more then showed his slowly degrading control. Not only did he have children but he had grandchildren with tainted blood too!

"Am I a grandmother?" Kagome asked with a curious look on her face. Since she'd mated with Inu yasha already and Sesshoumaru had yet to it was likely that they would have children before he did. She had a hard time picturing herself as a mother, much less a grandmother though.

"Yes, three and another on the way." Sora replied, figuring that since she didn't say which child went with which cousin and so on she was safe. Besides, this was very amusing.

"Oh." Kagome said looking rather teary eyed. She was going to be a grandmother.

"Oh boy." Inu yasha said realizing that that meant he was going to be a grandfather. He was just getting use to the idea of having more then two children and now he found out that he had at least three grandchildren and another on the way. Just how many kids did he have?

"Hehhhh, they're grandfathers." Shippou crowed with a laugh that died when the brothers shot him death glares that shut him up real quick.

"Who has more?" Sesshoumaru asked tensely.

"They do, for now." Sora said without surprise at the question. "But the offers for me have been rolling in and the boys are old enough to start providing you with some more grandchildren so don't worry."

"Him as a grandfather, now there's a scary thought." Sango said with a snicker. "Something tells me that you aren't the type, Sesshoumaru." The thought of him being a grandfather was just too weird not to grin. Well at least his hair was already white so the image wasn't that hard to conjure up.

"Shut up woman before I shut you up myself." Sesshoumaru said tensely as he looked over to the side to glare at Sango who simply grinned back at him. Annoying bitch, this slayer. As soon as they were unchained he was going to rip her to shreds and scatter her remains. After he saw to changing this future he appeared to be doomed to.

"Leave her alone." Shippou said glaring at him from Kagome's shoulder. Sango was his friend and he wasn't going to let even Fluffy pick on her.

"Don't tell my Master what to do." Rin shot back with her hands on her hips as she glared up at the fox demon. Rather surprised by it Sesshoumaru looked down at his possession and nearly smiled at the picture she made. Obviously she knew that she was far superior to the little fox demon Inu yasha had picked up. Never mind that he was a demon, there obviously must be some human blood in him for the fox brat to be so stupid and foolish.

"I'll say what I want." Shippou said sticking his chin out. "We can kick your Master's butt any day of the week."

"Shippou!" Kagome said in a voice that broke no argument. "No one is kicking anyone's butt and you'll apologize to Rin for using that tone of voice. Sesshoumaru shouldn't have said what he said but that doesn't excuse your behavior."

"Yes ma'am." Shippou said with a belligerent look on his face. "I'm sorry for my tone and the fact that your master doesn't have any manners."

"Shippou." Sango said sharply. "What did I tell you about picking fights?"

"Don't pick a fight with someone you can't beat or don't know, only a fool walks into a battle he cannot win." Shippou said repeating the lesson word for word. "But I figure since he's chained to you he can't really do a lot."

"I could cut her arm off at the shoulder, then I wouldn't be chained to her and then I could rip you limb from limb for daring to speak to me in that tone." Sesshoumaru said giving the small demon an icy look. Actually cutting an arm off wouldn't be such a bad idea…..

"Don't try it Father, trust me on this." Sora said as she remembered her mother mentioning the fight and how it resulted. "If you cut off your arm the chain will only latch onto your other hand and then you'll be even closer to her then you were before."

"And how would you know since you didn't know that this was going to happen?" Sesshoumaru said quietly, with a deadly tone that hinted at the fact that he thought she'd just walked into a trap. "Hmm?"

"Well I didn't say I didn't know it was going to happen, I just didn't know it was going to happen this morning." Sora said with a delicate shrug of her shoulders. "Otherwise I might have given you some warning, not that it would have done you any good."

"If I don't succeed in eliminating your mother, thus preventing your birth, I am going to seriously punish you when you get back to your time." Sesshoumaru said with an open glare that drilled into her back.

"I love you too, Daddy." Sora said turning her head to give him a sweet, innocent look. "And I know that you don't mean that, you'd never harm a hair on my head. And eventually you'll feel the same way about mom too."

"Doubtful." Sesshoumaru said with a deadly glare.

"So my brothers and I were just a by product of the fact that you couldn't keep your hands off a human? Gee Father, I didn't realize you were worse then Uncle Miroku." Sora said with an evil look as she started to walk backwards so that she could watch her dad's face go an interesting shade of red. "What would mom say if I told her you only married her for sex."

"SORA!"

"Yes, Father?"

"No one speaks to me like that!" Sesshoumaru growled yanking his sword from his side and moved forward, the blade flying through the air to be deflected by her sword, a grin on her face as she smiled sweetly at him as the sun bounced off their blades.

"Father, you're blood pressure." Sora said sweetly as she continued to hold her blade steady, a slight pulse in her neck the only give away that it was hard to match her father's strength. Rather surprised at the show of strength Sesshoumaru puzzled for the millionth time as to who her mother could possibly be. Her mother would have to have some strength to have matched him physically. Also for him to have been able to have borne her company long enough to produce more then one child she must have some intelligence, human or not. But what on earth would a human possibly possess to make him willing to bear her company and produce half-breeds?

"Why did I take a human for a mate?" Sesshoumaru growled aloud, not really expecting an answer. "How could I have sunk so low."

"Father, I know you don't want to hear this or believe it but if you kill mother you'll be ruining the rest of your life. I know that right now you view Rin as a possession but if she were to die would you replace her, get another human pet?" Sora asked, looking pointedly at her father and then back to Rin again. Their swords were still crossed and she tried to ignore the way her arms were starting to seize up.

Looking at his daughter then down at Rin who looked up at him expectedly. "No." He finally said, looking at neither of them as he withdrew his sword, placing it in its sheath without a word.

"You might wish I'm a full demon sometimes, Father, but I know you wouldn't trade me in for a hundred full demon daughters." Sora said softly with a quiet smile on her face. "And you wouldn't trade Mother either, you'll see."

Well that's it for know, hope I haven't traumatized you too much. I think I'll start updating this more or at least I will if it gets lots of reviews. Thanks to all those who have been reviewing and I can't wait to hear what you think.
