Hen.
When things go bad to worst
you wonder how good your luck is then you figure out its not luck that is your
problem
its you.
Sesshomaru smirks down at the young woman before him. “It truly has been, a long time Kagome.” He slowly approaches her, however, Kagome did not flinch. The heat from each other’s eyes, made it clear not to interrupt the reunion.
“What do you want from me Sesshomaru.” Kagome voice was low; he at the end of everything was not a true enemy. However, he was never a trusted ally; he was more or less a passerby.
Her eyes dart across to Souta and her son, then she flickers them to the main house. Souta understand this, grabs Tekeshi and slowly makes his way. “PUT ME DOWN!! LOOK YOU WHITE HAIR FREAK DON”T YOU DARE TOUCH MY MOTHER OR I WILL I WILL RIP YOU TO PIECES!” Tekeshi screams at the Demon Lord.
“You’ll...what?” He slowly turns around to face the child, slowly raises his nicely kept nails or claws.
”.....Sesshomaru, why don’t we go have some tea in the main house, so that we may talk alone, and not interrupted. “Kagome slowly states watching every word, careful not to slip and lose composure.
“Very well” However, Sesshomaru’s response was nothing but ice. So, the priestess led the demon into her home, without a second thought.
. . . .
Kagome slowly began making the tea, handing Sesshomaru a cup of the green substances once finished. She brushes a few stray hairs out of her face and took a signal sip from her own cup before asking, “So, what brings you here, Sesshomaru.”
The demon stares down into the green waters seeing his reflection move in its waves. “I see you had a child, did you have a one night stand with some other demon around here after you returned?” His eyes dart up to meet with hers.
”No. that is....Inu Yasha’s child....our son....” She smiles softly at the thought. “Before we sealed the well, we.... well you know.” Her cheeks began to flush. Why am I blushing...dang it not in front of him.
Even though he wears his cold exterior so well, he could not help but feel somewhat relieved to hear this. At lest she is a faithful woman, that is good. “I see. I come to bring news of everyone, you do know you are extremely hard to find. It was rather annoying.” He snorts gently sending her a small glare.
Kagome’s eyes light up, news of Inu Yasha? “Go on please.”
“That Monk and Demon slayer of yours, they got married a few years after you disappeared. Their family is now leaving in the southern most tip of Japan, they are still trained in the art of demon slaying. That wolf demon Kouga, disappeared about 300 years ago. He is most likely still living some where in what little woods Japan has left. The fox demon traveling with you, was with that half demon brother of mine.” He pauses to take a sip of the tea.
”And what of Inu yasha?” Kagome asks her heart pounding.
“.... That I do not know, I lost track of him about 50 years after you disappeared. But that is not my greatest worry at this moment. From what I know, a dark power is starting to take affect. It has power in the political and finical powers. Also it is a demon, or so I think. You been having demon troubles haven’t you, I could smell the lesser demons scent.” His eyes narrow, and finishes his tea setting the cup on wooden table.
“Yes, they have been coming for the jewel, but I defended my self from them.” Kagome states, “I am not as weak as I was five years ago... well Five years for me.”
“He is nothing like the minions he sends; until runt brother shows himself, allow me to offer you something, for something in return.” His eyes darts to the door of the dinning room, “Come out Child I know you are there.” His golden eyes flicker with annoyance as he waits.
Tekeshi slowly came into sight of the demon lord. The child watches Sesshomaru carefully before he ran to his mother side. Kagome smiles softly at her son and picks him up gently so he may sit in her lap. Her fingers comb out the tangles in his hair with a soft motherly smile. “Tekeshi....this is your father’s half brother, Sesshomaru-sama.” Kagome made an offer to be polite to the demon lord.
Sesshomaru nods slowly in agreement with the human woman. His eyes travel over to boy for the first time, he saw he was healthy and strong willed. Even if he was only ¼ demon, the devilry must still have been horrible. She did it by her self, he found this interesting. “So this is what you been doing, not to busy are you.” His voice held a tormenting sadistic ring to it. “This is not much of a life.”
Kagome felt her self boil with anger, but she smiles instead, “It is what I wished to do with my life. I and my family are healthy and well, what have you been doing Sesshomaru?” Being polite was over, if he wishes to fight with words so be it.
“I have a business over seas, of course I am not longer a lord of the western lands, but it is amusing playing with their lives and money.” His smirk only widens.
Tekeshi slowly sank into his mothers hold, only a few people got her upset; The little old woman on the corner, and the man that keeps trying to steal his mother away. He quietly questions Sesshomaru being his uncle, naw no way.
“Oh, I see you stop tormenting random people and set your sites on your workers. I see you haven’t changed at all. Other then, you got demoted to dealing with us, ‘filthy humans’.” Her voice was that of a ‘matter of fact’ tone. Her smile seem to glow as she said this, the most puzzling fact was she did not fear Sesshomaru. Not for one second, or so it seems.
His patience began to run thin, however he is now bound to human laws. “Listen to me woman, I am here for your own benefit you will pay me the respect I am owned.” As if it intimated her, he bears his fangs at her.
“Now listen to me Sesshomaru, I did not ask you to come here, I am grateful for your words of my friends. But I will not leave this place, even if what you say is true I –will- protect the Jewel. I do not need or want your help. So if you will be so kind, leave.” She began to rise from her seat, her son in hand.
He growls gently but this
is not the time for a fight between Miko and Demon. “Very well” With
that he began to leave, he was not wanted very well.
