Chapter 5 Beauties’ Son
********************

The servants noticed the change in their little mistress as she once again skipped though the halls to her studies. Rin smiled happily at each servant she passed wishing them good morning. Yes, this morning was a great one for the house of the moon. The servants were alive with chatter as they worked each remarking on the behavior of their lord or his ward and all was credited to the arrival of the strange onna. Only two had seen her but word had spread soon about the young lady with her polite manners and quite ways.

The halls quieted as Sesshoumaru and Kagome walked arm and arm down the halls to his study. He watched her from the co nor of his eye, as they walked neither saying anything. Kagome again took in the painting s and statues that adorned the halls as they walked. Some how she felt at home here but she could not remember ever being here. She noticed the youkai that held her close was at ease as if they had done this many times before. She began to worry what were these people excepting of her.

Sesshoumaru felt the change in Kagome as she grew worried having soothed her so many times before. He wondered why he did not know her when her first saw her. However, his youkai did and by scent alone, which made him feel a little ashamed of himself, he should have known her scent right? He pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind as they entered his study. Even as they entered, he held her close to him. He wanted to believe this was real and not another dream. He moved to his desk pulling out his chair and pulling her into his lap.

Kagome was more than nervous as he pulled her into his lap burying his face in her hair. She could feel his hot breath on her neck so she distracted herself by playing with his claws. It just seemed natural as she lifted his large hand in hers drawing circle patterns with her fingers. She knew he wanted to ask her something but she could not figure out what.
They sat this way for a moment quite with her in his lap his face in her hair. Her playing with his claws as if they weren’t deadly weapons.“Kagome, why were you in that meadow?” came his soft voice.

“I had this dream one night. It lead me there,” she answered distracted.

“A dream you say, Tell me of this dream.”

“I awake in that meadow and there were two people there. A silver haired youkai and a young woman that look like me. I could not see his face only her’s they were talking about his home and that he wanted to take her there and make her his mate. It was there that he proclaimed his love for her. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw under the full moon he took her in his arm kissing her and proclaiming his love. The strange thing was after the scene faded the girl turned to me and told me to find that place so I did”

“You weren’t afraid?”

“No when I entered there it gave me this warm feeling like I was home. Like. . .” she fell silent

“Like what Kagome?” she wanted to say ’like here’ but she didn’t, she couldn’t say it no matter how hard she tried.

“Nerve mind its silly”

“It’s okay Kagome. What do you remember before the spring?”

“I woke up in this cave surrounded by bones of some kind and a statue of a woman. I did not know where I was I heard voices and ran. Why can’t I remember? Why do you and that child Rin seem so familiar? Did you know me before did I know you? What’s wrong with me?” she knew she was rambling but didn’t care she wanted answers. She wanted to know why she felt so at easy with these youkai when all the people she encountered told her youkai were evil. She broke down in tears silently crying.

Sesshoumaru pulled her closer holding her shaking form

“It’s okay Kagome,” he whispered rocking her as his heart broke for her. He wanted to tell her so bad about what they had together. Seeing her this way so lost in so much pain hurt more than any wound he ever had. However, how could he tell her what should he say? He did not know it was hard the first time just to tell her he loved her and wanted her as his mate. Now this, this was the worst thing that could ever happen to any one. On the one hand, he had her back in his life, on the other she was heart broken because she didn’t remember anything. He turned her around on his lap wiping her tears away cupping her cheek.

“It does not matter now Kagome you are home were you are loved. For now that is all you need to know,” he spoke softly to her. Sesshoumaru had made up his mind now that she was here where he wanted her any way he was not going to let her go. Moreover, nothing or no one was going to take her away again.

Kagome started to say something as the door of the study was thrown open. She was startled jumping off Sesshoumarus’ lap staring at the child in the doorway. Her heart fluttered as she stared at him her soul cried out that she knew him ‘but from where?’ she thought. For a long time overflowing turquoise eyes stared in her jeweled blue eyes. The wet, loving eyes so full of pain and love told her story far deeper than that of the large brown eyes of Rin. Without giving any thought to it, she opened her arms to the child just a little smaller than herself.

The child stared at her for a long time tears slide down his face. It had been so long he thought he would never see her again and here she was. He ran to her wrapping his arms around her waist burying his face in her stomach as he sobbed.

“OHMAMAITHOUGHTIWOULDNEVERSEEYOUAGAIN.THEYSAIDYOUWEREGONEBUTIKNEWITIKNEWYOUWOULDN’TLEAVEME”

Kagome looked back at Sesshoumaru shocked ‘who was this child and like Rin he calls me mother’


“Calm yourself kit,” came Sesshoumaru’s voice. He watched as Shippo stiffen as well as Kagome reacting quickly to Shippo’s change in mood.

“Your scaring him Lord Sesshoumaru, he’s only a child,” Kagome glared at him while stroking Shippo head. She didn’t know why but for some reason she felt closer to this child than the other. It shocked the love she felt she these children, but they were hers she could feel it as much as she felt at home in this place.

Shippo looked up his mother and blinked a few times. It had been a long time since his mother had call Sesshoumaru that name. But this had to his mother no one else felt like she did.

“Mama what’s wrong? Rin said you don’t remember us is it true mama?” Shippo questioned tears again slide down his face.

“I am sorry baby but it true,” she whispered sadly wiping the tears from his small face as she kneeled down in front of him. Shippo sniffled a few times and nodded his head. It didn’t matter if she remembered them or not she was back and that was all that mattered. He nuzzled her face affectionately taking in the scent of his long lost mother. Sango, Miroku, even Sesshoumaru had said she was gone, lost forever but he knew, he knew she would never leave him. Ever day he felt her in his soul and no one would believe him, no one but Rin. And now here she was.

“I knew it mama. I knew you weren’t gone forever I could feel it. It’s okay if you don’t remember one day you will. But even if you don’t it’s okay your back and we can be a family again that all that matters,” Shippo beamed happily shocking both Kagome and Sesshoumaru with his words.

Without even thinking Kagome spoke nuzzling his face as well. “When did you get so smart my kit?” Shippo didn’t answer only hugged her closer. He knew from that one statement this onna was his mother and that was all that matter.

“I love you mama,” He beamed and pulled away from her happily skipping from the room.

Sesshoumaru had to shake his head. What could he say the kit was all ways saying Kagome was alive. But he refuse to believe him, no one not even him could have survived losing that much blood.

He remembered the numerous tongue lashing he gave the kit because of his outburst. Especially, when the Northern Lord had come offering his daughter to Sesshoumaru as a suitable mate just two months ago.

Sesshoumaru been sitting in this very room. The Northern Lord Kusao had been talking non stop about his daughter. Said Lady was sitting next to her father openly staring at the Western Lord almost drooling. It was common knowledge that the elemental youkai of the North wanted to allay his self with the Western Land lord for years. When word had got around of the death of the Shikon Miko his mate to be the Northern Lord thought to offer his daughter to the grieving Tai youkai.

Sesshoumaru on the other hand couldn’t stand to look at Hina or any other onna that wasn’t Kagome. As he sat and listen to the Northern lord his youkai kept growling too be released and ripped the two apart. None would replace their mate none.

But before Lady Hina could speak her piece a raging Shippo stormed into the room. He turned his red eyes on Lady Hina and demanded that her and her father leave and now.

“My mother will return and we don’t you stinking up the place. You will never replace my mother wench and my chich-ue will never ever take you for his mate,” Shippo snarled. Shocking everyone in the room if it wasn’t for Sesshoumaru catching him the kit would have killed the onna. There was no doubt in his mind about that.

“I think you have your answer now I suggest you take your daughter and leave.” Sesshoumaru growled struggling to hold Shippo in his gasp.

Sesshoumaru wasn’t happy with himself having to lock the raging kit in his room for three days after that. But he had no other choice after the two left Shippo turn on him.

“How could you. .how could you bring that bitch into my mothers home and think of taking that bitch as your mate?” Leaving Sesshoumaru no choice but to defend himself as he struck out at him. Sure the kit had become stronger over the years even for his size, but Sesshoumaru was shocked Shippo would try to attack him. “You bastard how could you?”

“Kit?” Sesshoumaru growled in warning.

“Fuck you bastard, my mother will return and I will not have one of your whore’s stinking up the place when she does. You bastard how can you say you love my mother and then go and try to replace her with that...that bitch,” Shippo raged attacking the Taiyoukai.

It took an hour for him to finally grabbed the struggling kit. Even the creature within him added his voice to the kit.

Kagomes’ voice pulled him from his thoughts. She tapped her chin with her finger, he all ways thought that was so cute when she did that.

“If those are my children why are they here? And who are their fathers? If Rin is human and Shippo is Kitsune that would mean....,” her eyes widen at the thought. ‘No that isn’t possible how could I when I was a virgin up till last night...right?’ she was afraid Sesshoumaru would tell her something horrible so she crossed her finger behind her back. But she wanted to know had to know.

“Have no fear Kagome, you adopted the kit and Rin is my ward you can say she adopted both you and your kit.”

“And you and I? Where do we fit in this how do I know you?” she perched on the edge of his desk to his disappointment. Even the creature within whined wanting nothing more than to hold her with in their arms again. He sighed ‘should I tell her I tried to kill her? Should I really tell her about my half brother and the others?’ Sesshoumaru looked deep within her bright jeweled eyes and right away knew his answer. “You use to travel with my half brother that’s how we met. We were enemies then allies then...”

“Lovers?” came her small whisper. He nodded his silver bangs covering his eyes he didn’t know what to say. So many times he wanted to mark her and take her as his mate but she refused. He knew it had to do with his half brother even if she denied it.

The two talked for hours till Sesshoumaru took her to the gardens. Shippo and Rin were sitting under a tree reading from a book Kagome had given them. Upon seeing their mother the two jumped to there feet and cheered loudly.

Rin ran up quickly touching her hand and cried out ‘tag your it’ and ran off with Shippo. Kagome didn’t let the fact she didn’t remember these two angel stop her. As Sesshoumaru went back to his study she took off chasing the two through the garden. The servants gathered around the windows overlooking the gardens as laughter once again echoed though the once cold palace of the moon. The reigning thought ‘life would once again be peaceful’ as they went back to their duties.

Kagome, Shippo and Rin played though the gardens laughing. Shippo and Rin were overjoyed to once again have their mother back and wanted to enjoy every minute with her. Night came quickly and after dinner the two didn’t want to sleep, afraid that when they wake this would be just a dream. It took an hour of singing and hugs from Kagome to get them to sleep. She kissed them both on the forehead and tiptoed from the room.

Sesshoumaru found himself sighing once again. He had no choice but to send word to the slayer and monk that Kagome was alive and safe within the walls of the Western palace. Kami knew he didn’t want too but he had to do this Kagome had a right to know. Sesshoumaru knew once Inu Yasha knew Kagome lived her would once again try to take her back to the village. Even years after Naraku’s death the boy still wouldn’t let Kagome leave his side. He knew from Kagome telling him she had no romantic feelings for Inu Yasha, but Inu Yasha still saw her as a piece of the ex miko Kikyo.

On his usual visit to Kagome, Sango had told him what happen during the early morning hours. Inu Yasha had gone missing for days and Kagomes body was gone was well leaving nothing behind but a large pool of her blood. Sango but told him every single sordid detail leaving him a rage...

A soft knock brought him from his thoughts he knew from the scent who it was. Kagome entered and stood watching him as if seeing something new in him. After what seemed like forever she spoke.

“I am going to bed now Maru,” she smiled and turned from him. She just...he remembered months after he joined his half brothers little group he had given he promise to call him by his name. Not to long after she started calling him that. He asked why never getting an answer only a smile. After a while he didn’t care because the affection her saw in her eyes when she called him that made his very soul sing in ways he thought impossible. It was months later after the death of Naraku that he found out the look in her eyes when she called Maru spoke of her love for him. That same look echoed through her eyes just now as she called him that and as all ways it caused a small tingle to race down his spine.

“What did you call me?” he knew he might sound silly but he didn’t care he had to hear her say it one more time.

“Um Maru...I am sorry Lord Sesshoumaru it want happen again,” she whispered. It just slipped out she didn’t know it came from. But some how it felt right to call him that. Especially when she saw the look of sadness in his golden eyes when she entered. It just felt wrong for him to look that way.

“No...No say it again,” he spoke as he stopped in front of her. The creature with him urging him to take her in their arms once again. It was only for his ears alone that she ever spoke that name and to hear it again after so long gave them hope she would once again remember them.

“Maru,” she smiled as he swept her in his arms kissing her passionately. By Kami he wanted to do this all day but didn’t know how she would react finding out all the things she did today. Her responded to his kiss shyly as if unsure how to react to him. Soon nature took over as he backed her against the wall his clawed hands threading through her raven hair. Kagome broke the kiss as he lungs screamed for air, she panted for breath as he kissed and sucked on the soft skin of her neck.

(for all of you who didn't understand it went like this. “Oh mama I thought I would never see you again. they said you were gone but I knew you wouldn't leave me.”)
