Supreme Power, Sealing Your Fate

Sesshomaru stood aside and let her walk out in the bitter cold, her long dress keeping her warm. She closed her eyes, and the tears fell; she had to leave her friends, the only ones she had left, and she had to leave them.

"Come, woman,"

He started to walk.

Are we going to walk there?

She signed and started to follow.

"Y'ALL ARE JUST GOING TO LET HER GO!" Inuyasha yelled while being held back,

"Inuyasha, calm yourself. She must go, and you know Sesshomaru will not harm her. She does bear his child," Kaede said.

"But he did hurt her! What about after all this?" Inuyasha snapped.

He would not let him get away with this, even if he did promise to be with Kikyo.

They had only been walking 20 minutes, and she was already freezing, hungry, and her feet hurt. Sesshomaru noticed her slow pace and how she held her arms close to herself, and how lost her eyes looked. He growled; he knew his pup would need food soon. She was not looking where she was going and didn't notice when he stopped, she ran into him, her small belly rubbing his back. Though he didn't like her touching him, he did like the feel of his unborn child. He would never tell anyone. She looked up and took a step back. Her lips were a bit blue, and you could see her breath.

IN THE HEAVENS

"My son, you now have someone to protect. Do not let your hate and pride get in your way; allow yourself to love her for you have already sealed your fate!"

He watched down his heavy heart beating, watching as this woman, this human woman that reminded him so much of his own Izayoi. This is his first grandchild. The kamis above knew the child would be a great and powerful Lord, but it would be up to his parents...

Up to his father if he became a great loyal, warm-hearted Lord like Inu Taisho, his grandfather. Or if he would become a cold,non-caring Lord like Sesshomaru, his father.

Only the kamis knew. "Inu Taisho," they called.

"Inu Taisho, this is of great importance; we would never do this, but since you were once a great lord, a great leader, and a lover, we have decided."

"What is it you ask of me?"

"Return to you sons, that earth, something must be done. Even we kami's have no say in love or the path people choose; we can only help or guide them as they have free will, but your eldest son has such hate we fear. His child, he will be strong, very strong, this we have decided."

He would have said no, that he was not for that world, but he felt he had to; no, he needed to; it had to be done. His sons needed him. Kagome needed him, his grandson, without knowing him, needed him, and this was a grand gift never once granted before. How could not refuse?

"If it is what you wish, then It shall be done,"

BACK ON EARTH

Kagome looked up and took a step back once she noticed she had run into him. He could have picked her up and flown or run, but he chose otherwise. He turned back and slowed his pace a bit but when he heard a gasp from her he drew his eyes back to her.

"Father,"

There he was, holding Kagome in his arms, and she was blushing. She could not believe how handsome he was; any girl would be in heaven in his arms, they were strong, and the heat coming from his was great, though she didn't care for the cold armor he wore. His face was stronger, but his eyes were soft. His stripes were larger than Sesshomaru's. Hell, he was a lot better looking than Sesshomaru, if you could believe that. Inu Taisho Looked only 28, which she could not understand as sesshomaru himself looked to be at least 22. There was very little age difference between them if you went by looks alone. Though they did look like twins, one gave off an older, calmer, and wiser aura. Inu Taisho held Kagome bridal style and walked past his son as if he was not even standing there.

Sesshomaru turned, watching the man who knew to be dead walk past him. At first, he thought this was some trick or magic as his once-dead father walked by him, but his senses told him all he needed to know.

Somehow, his father was alive.
