Tensei gazed longingly out of the small window of her room, a bird fluttered past. Tears began to run races down her face.

"...I can't...hold on anylonger, Sessh-kun..."

She squeezed the hilt of the knife that glittered in her hand.

'...This is the only way...the only way...I can be free of him...'

"We are close..." Sessho-maru said firmly.

Yoru looked up at him, then closed his eyes and sniffed.

"...I...smell the bad man who took mama..."

His coutnance darkened, his eyes glowing red.

"...I want to...taste of his flesh..."

Sessho-maru glanced down at him, then smirked.

"So you shall, my son, so you shall..."

The castle soon came into veiw.

Tears ran races down Tensei's face as she thought about what she was about to do. She raised the knife, holding the blade to her throat. She closed her eyes, picturing that night, that wonderful night they had spent in the abandoned temple that had resulted in the conception of their son. Sessho-maru's beautiful amber eyes, gazing lovingly into hers, his hand intwined in hers. The feeling of his powerful flesh as they became one...

'...I am never to feel it again...I...was not meant for such happiness...'

There was a loud clattering and near defening screams, a demon puppet fell through the shoji screen. Tensei inadvertantly dropped the knife.

"Mama! Mama!!!"

"...Yoru-kun...?"

The toddler came bounding up to her, throwing himself into her arms.

"Mama Are you okay!? I was so scared!!!"

"...Yoru-kun!! OH! My baby!!! I was so worried about you!!" Tensei wept, holding him close. "...But...how did you...?"

"...Papa got rid of all the bad men, mama!" he smiled.

Tensei looked up, her eyes going wide, there stood the same man she had just been thinking about.

"...Sessh-kun..."

"Are you unharmed?" he asked. Tears welled within her amethyst eyes and she threw her arms around him, kissing him passionately. Sessho-maru sighed contently in her embrace.

"...I...thought you weren't coming..."

"...How touching...the family is reunited once again..." Naraku's voice drifted into the room like poison gas.

Sessho-maru growled, pushing Tensei behind him as he drew his sword.

"...You..." Yoru hissed, eyes turning a violent red.

"Yoru, take your mother and go..." Sessho-maru growled dangerously.

"Eh?! Demo...Oto-san!"

Sessho-maru shot the pup a reproachful look, "...Now..."

The boy nodded grabbing hold of his mother's hand and pulling her from the room.

"...Sessh-kun!! Please be careful!" Tensei called.

"Now that the nuisances are gone, shall we finish this, Lord Sessho-maru?" Naraku smirked.

"We shall..."
