Inuyasha stared in shock at Kagome "Uncle!!?! What do you mean uncle? There is no way in hell that this bastard is your uncle!"

Kagome looked from Inuyasha to Sesshoumaru, not understanding what was making him so angry. "Inuyasha what's wrong, why don't you like him?"

Staring at Kagome as if she had three heads, Inuyasha didn't know what to think. Couldn't she see that this was his brother?

Sesshoumaru cleared his throat as he smirked at his brother. "I believe I can help clear this one up." He stated, and then took a deep breath. Watching Kagome closely as he released the spell that hid his true appearance from all. He could only wince when she gasped in fear, and then took a step back as the young miko's power flared around him with anger.

"You!!" She hissed at him. "YOU Lying Self Centered Bastard!!" Inuyasha grabbed hold of her as she tried to get out of bed, doing his best to keep Kagome from reaching his brother. Not that his brother didn't deserve it, but she was not strong enough yet to have that much power flowing through her body.

"Kagome," Inuyasha growled at her, "you're not strong enough to take him out! Wait until you're feeling better and then you can kill him!"

Mama Higurashi, never understood why Sesshoumaru always insisted that Kagome not be told about what he was. But seeing Kagome's reaction to seeing his true self, she finally began to see. And then complete understanding came to her, as she remembered some of the stories that she had been told about Inuyasha's older brother, and the fights that the two brothers always got into. One particular came to mind. The time that Kagome was sent home and not allowed to return, not long after she started going through the well. Kagome had told her that Inuyasha was seriously hurt when his brother put his claws dripping in poison through his stomach, almost killing him. Just so Kagome could get away, before she was killed by the Demon Lord who had taking a disliking to the girl.

"You tried to kill my daughter!" She whispered in horror, staring at the youkai standing before her.

Sesshoumaru gave Mama Higurashi a startled look. He had not realized that Kagome had told her about those incidents. “I highly regret that on more then one occasion I have tried to kill Kagome” He started, then looking decidedly uncomfortable when he noticed the grip that Inuyasha had on the Tetsusaiga. What really bothered Sesshoumaru was the fact that Inuyasha was keeping a death grip on his katana to make sure that he's blood beast did not come out. Sesshoumaru would have been more comfortable with the situation if Inuyasha did pull out Tetsusaiga to kill him. He then wouldn’t be faced with watching his brothers eyes go from blood red to gold as Inuyasha tried to control his temper.

“Inuyasha, you must realize that if I wanted the miko dead here, I could have killed her on any number of occasions. I have been taking care of Kagome since she was a baby. Never mind protecting her from the demons here that have tried to kill her on more then one occasion.”

“What do you mean you've been protecting me since I was a baby?” Kagome asked Sesshoumaru.

“Um. Before you explain anymore,” Jeninji broke in, “May I suggest that we allow Kagome to get cleaned up and changed into more comfortable clothing. I also would like to take a look at Inuyasha's wounds while she is getting clean. After that I will take my leave, and allow you to discuss this in private.”

The others had no choice but to do as Jeninji suggested. Mama Higurashi helped Kagome into the bathroom, and Jeninji cleaned and bandaged the cuts on Inuyasha's torso. Checking once more on Kagome, and leaving last minute instructions on the care of her wounds, Jeninji left a number where he could be reached and left.

After everyone was settled at the kitchen table with a cup of tea, they waited to hear what the Demon Lord had to say for himself. Sesshoumaru looked off into space, trying to figure out where to begin his story.

“Years ago, I meet a young man, that smelled a little like Kagome. I watched him from afar, not knowing if this was the man I was seeking for. When he met Mina, I knew without a doubt that I had found the couple I had been searching for. I introduced myself as a businessman who was looking for a partner to join me in my accounting business. You see, I needed a way to make sure that the family had every thing they needed, and could not think of a better way then to have Ginta working with or for me. It was not expected that he would also become one of my trusted friends.”

At this Inuyasha snorted with disbelief. “You’re friends with a lowly human? I don't believe that.”

Mama Higurashi placed her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, “It's true. The two of them went almost everywhere together. Five years after starting the company, and just before I found out I was pregnant with Kagome, he told us that he was actually the Demon Lord of the Western Lands. We didn't believe him at first, but then he dropped the concealing spell.”

Sesshoumaru nodded with agreement. “After that I took them to Western Lands, and showed them my true form. After getting over the shock of having a giant dog standing in front of them, the only thing that Mina could say, was that she hoped I was house trained and didn't drool on any future children they would have.”

Kagome stared at her mother in surprise, “You really didn't say that did you?”

“Yes dear I did.”

Inuyasha started to chuckle, and that turned into an all out laugh as he looked at his brother.
“Does she know that if you did drool on the children there would be nothing left but a pile of green ooze?”

“This Sesshoumaru does not drool!”

Kagome looked at him with a slight smile on her face, “Actually yes you do. And I must say that it's the worst dog breath that I have ever smelled!”

“Humph” Was the only comment made on that.

Mama Higurashi got up and poured more tea for everyone, before taking her place, and motioning for Sesshoumaru to continue.

“It was about a month after that, when I first smelt the fact that Mina was going to have a pup.
And a week after that when the demon attacks started. I made sure that everyone in the demon world knew that the Higurashi where under my protection, and anyone that went after them would have to face me. It didn't stop all the attacks, but it did stop most of them. The minor demons that continued where really not that big of a deal, but I made sure that the family was always guarded. Even if they did not know it. I made sure that the doctor that helped in the hospital was extremely loyal to me. In fact, the doctor who delivered Kagome is my daughter, and trust me, getting her to actually do that was not easy. She hates delivering babies. Anyways, after Kagome was born, more and more minor demons started to show up so I had to enlist help from other sources. The first one I tracked down is also known to the two of you, and believe it or not, we actually managed to convince him to act as a full time babysitter when Mina and Ginta where at work.”

“Please don't tell me it's who I'm thinking of.” Inuyasha moaned. “That's all I need is him showing up to pester me here also!”

Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha and smirked, “Yes it would most likely be the one your thinking of, and he should be here at any time.” Sesshoumaru could not keep the amusement out of his voice as a knock sounded at the door. Mama Higurashi laughed softly knowing who it was, went an answered the door.

“What the hell did you do to my woman this time dog breath?” came an all to familiar voice.
