Chapter 8

Kagome's POV:

As if I didn't have enough on my plate with being a Hell Dragon, being Midoriko's reincarnation (not Kikyo's!), and having to defeat/kill Naraku! Now I'm Sesshomaru's Heiress! Yea that's totally gonna go over well when he finds out. Sigh. Anyways I had just sat down at the dining table right before Tou-sama explained.

"I realize that this is all a lot to take in, my Musume, but I also know you can handle it. I have fully accepted you as my pack and when you return to the land of the living you will defer to Sesshomaru as your Alpha." I wrung my hands worriedly just thinking about how Sesshomaru might act, which didn't go unnoticed by either male. "I realize that you are still worried about how my sons will react to your transformation. I know not how Inuyasha will react; his reactions are always all over the place. However, I know that Sesshomaru will welcome you." I looked up at Tou-sama then, doubt and confusion evident on my face. "Just trust me, my Musume."

I sighed then, "Very well, Tou-sama." Heiress, huh? Great!

"He he, you worry too much, Hime!" Damian chuckled, "At the very least you should be above that pup of Inu-chan's, but he made a good point when he said you were still very young. We will have you ready to take on the world when we're done with ya!"

"You said Dark Arts earlier?" I somewhat asked.

"Yes you will need it to help amplify your using of So'ounga's power. Not to mention with Naraku using Black magic, you will need to know how to counter anything he throws at you." Damian explained.

I nodded my head in understanding. By then Tou-sama had already filled both of our plates and Damian had started eating. I ate in silence for a few minutes thinking everything through before Tou-sama spoke up, "I had every intention of not asking and allowing you to keep your privacy, but as I have grown to truly care for you, I have also grown worried of something I wish for you to explain." I grow concerned over what could possibly be worrying him, not for me but for him. I didn't like him being worried at all. "Why do you hide yourself?" He asked with his worry all over his face. My eyebrows shot up then crinkled in confusion; I have never hidden anything from either of them. "When I followed along your journey through Tetsusaiga, you were always hiding your truest self from everyone. Why would do that? Why hide your intelligence?"

"Oh!" I understood then, but how to explain, "When... When I was little I always had my head in a book. Even before my schooling start I was eagerly learning everything I could get my hands on. My step father did not understand my fascination with learning. He told me once, 'If you ever want to find a husband, you best take your head out of the books and learn how to become a proper and obedient housewife.' I was so hurt by his words that I hid my learning from him. When I finally did start my schooling, I thought that I would finally be able to show my smarts. Unfortunately, that back fired. The teacher wanted to bump up my schooling and put me in classes with kids twice my age. I was so afraid I hid myself again. Afterward it just became automatic to hide my smarts from everyone."

During my explanation I could feel both of their anger at the fools who forced me into my protective shell. My step-father and teachers should have encouraged my learning. Instead they made me feel like a freak. I had pretty much gotten past all of that but not enough to feel comfortable with anyone knowing how smart I really was. But my Tou-sama and Damian both made me feel so at home and so loved that I didn't fear them knowing every facet of who I am. Damian looked so disappointed in how they treated me. Tou-sama, on the other hand looked furious. His knuckles were bleach white from where he was clenching his fists.

I took his hand in mine and placed a small kiss on his knuckles. All of the tension immediately left his body. He sighed, "You will never have to hide again, my Musume." I truly love this man.
