Supreme Power, Sealing Your Fate

Sesshomaru wasted no time getting to his father. He followed his scent and found him in the study. Sesshomaru almost broke the doors down.

He respected his father, but he wanted answers.

"Father," He said in a deep tone; he would not be ignored any longer.

His father didn't turn to look at him; he just kept on looking at the book in his hands.

"Hmm, looks like you're keeping everything well in place, though I did it better if I do say so myself."

Sesshomaru growled; he could not figure out what was going on. His father was standing in front of him, going on as if he had never died.

"I had a long trip, coming back from the dead and all,"

"Care to explain how you got here and why you are?" Sesshomaru asked,

"How I got here, son, does not matter."

"Then why, dear father, are you here?"

"You are my son, I had a chance to come back, so I came."

This was not going to do; Sesshomaru knew there was more to it than that.

"Father, I did not stand in the way of your desires, so why are you standing in mine?"

"What is it that you desire, my son?"

"Power."

His father turned to him. "Care to defeat me for it?"

Sesshomaru would have jumped at the chance if he had asked that when he was alive the first time, but now he felt it was a trick. His father was up to something.

"Defeating me will not give you my power if that helps you at all,"

Sesshomaru knew that somehow.

"Now, Sesshomaru, tell me about the little Lady,"

Meanwhile,

Kagome was so mad when he left, and the lady in waiting could see it.

"My Lady, a bath, maybe?"

"Yes, that would be nice,"

"I'll send in your bath, maid."

"No need for that,"

"But I must!"

Kagome sighed; she would have to deal with it; she didn't want to get anyone else in trouble. A knock came to the door and then it slid open. A beautiful young girl about her own age came in. She had blue hair, sky-blue eyes, and two black stars by each of her eyes; she was breathtaking. Kagome was shocked.

"My Lady, is something wrong?" Kagome's mouth was open, staring at the girl.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry; it's just that you are so pretty!" she said in a happy tone.

The girl blushed. "No need to say you're sorry to me, My Lady."

"Will you please not call me that? He is not around; my name is Kagome."

The girl smiled.

"If that is what you wish,"

"Yes, it is; what is your name?"

"Sora,"

"It means sky,"

"Yes, My lady,"

Kagome smiled.

"Are you ready for your bath?"

"Yes, but do you really need to come with me?"

"Oh yes, if something were to happen to you or the pup, Lord Sesshoamru would be very mad,"

Kagome nodded her head; she understood. She could not put the girl at risk of Sesshomaru's anger.

"Come this way, please," Sora went to the door on the other side of the room and opened it. Inside was a nice big hot spring. Kagome was so happy.

"Let me help you out of those clothes,"

Sora helped Kagome out of her clothes. Once it was off, the girl offered her hand to Kagome and helped her into the water, letting her sit.

This is nice and warm.

"Kagome, shall I wash your hair?"

"If you want to, yes, please."

Back with the Lords of the West.

"Now, Sesshomaru, tell me about the little Lady,"

"Rin?" He asked

"No, not the child, the woman."

"There is nothing to know."

"Come now, son."

"It matters not, Father I'm sure you already know all you need to know about her,"

"Yes, I do. Perhaps I should speak to her instead,"

"I assume the woman is in the bath," Sesshomaru stated.

"All the more reason to join, plus don't want my grandson to get too hot in that small womb of hers."

Inu Taisho put on an evil smile and started to walk past his son.

"Father, do you think it wise to do so? She is not accustomed to our social grooming ways."

"Well, someone needs to go to check on her, and what good-looking girl doesn't want the aid of a good-looking male?"

Sesshomaru was almost keen on letting him go just so he could see just how crazy the human woman could be but decided against it.

"I will go,"

Sora finished washing Kagome's hair and was now sitting near her, looking at her baby bump.

"Sora, do you have a husband?"

"Hu?"

"A mate?

"Oh no, My Lady,"

"I don't see why not; heck, I'm even surprised Sesshomaru has not mated with you!"

"Oh, please do not say such things," the girl said, sitting up with an almost panicked look in her eyes.

"Why not? He is a demon; you are a demon, he is nice looking, you're nice looking,"

The girl was now red.

"I do not wish it, Kagome. I'm glad he has no notice of me; good looks mean little to me,"

Kagome looked at the girl; she was looking at her tiny baby belly. Kagome smiled. She understood and knew that look, that want of love.

"I'm sorry," Kagome said, leaving the poor girl alone. "Sora, would you like to?" Kagome asked, looking at her tummy.

Sora smiled and came close, and put her hand on Kagome's tummy. It was a little smaller than half of a basketball. Though you could not feel the baby move yet, it was still cool to touch. Though it didn't last long for there came an angry growl.
