Chapter seven

Meanwhile......................

Sesshomaru was speaking with a minor underlord, when he felt his son's call. "Papa, Mama is in trouble. Come help.", he cried.

Sesshomaru excused himself and moved at top speed to Kiku's room. He drew Bakusaiga and burst into her room. The wolf demon ran out the other door and disappeared. Leaving the panther demon to Sesshomaru. He took one look at Kiku and promptly removed the panther's head. Saying nothing, he bent and picked her head up, turned and left her room.

Seeing Akira in the hall with tray in hand, he said, "Take her and the pup to my rooms. Then get the doctor." He started down the hall and to the great hall.

He held up the head, "See this is what happens when you attempt to harm the heir or his mother." He threw the head into the middle of the room. "This reception is over.", he snarled, turned on his heel and headed to his room.

He strode into his rooms to find his pup screaming horribly and the doctor examining Kiku. He took Masaru from Akira's arms and looked at him. "Shhhhhhhhhhhh, Mama needs quiet now. She will be fine. Let the doctor do his job.", he said. The pup's cries silenced down to sniffles, and he comforted himself by stuffing his fist in his mouth.

"Papa, Mama sad.", he heard.

"Papa knows, Masaru. We must work extra hard to make her happy.", he answered.

"Like she does for me?", he asked.

"Yes, my son.", he said.

The doctor came over and bowed before him. "She is sleeping now. She had more worries for the pup, than herself. Some of her wounds are deep, and will bear watching.", he said. Sesshomaru nodded, and the doctor bowed again while leaving the room.

Sesshomaru looked to Akira. "She is never to be alone again. If This Sesshomaru can't be here, you will be. Bring her things here tomorrow morning, she will be sleeping in my rooms from now on.", he said. Akira nodded her head and bowed before him.

He went over and laid Masaru on the bed beside Kiku. That way, if she woke, she would know the pup was unharmed. He went and had a quick bath, and laid down behind her. Spooning her like he had many nights before.

How he had missed holding her, and looking at the pup they created together caused a feeling of protectiveness and warmth to well up inside him.

He was proud of Kiku as well. She had hid the pup and refused to tell where he was. She was a good mother, and he was glad that she was mother to his pup. He wanted more pups from her. Maybe a little girl, like her mother. He sighed, closed his eyes and dozed off.

Kiku woke Masaru rooting at her breast. She smiled at him, opened her kosode, and put him to her breast. Then she realized they weren't alone, she turned her head and Sesshomaru was staring at Masaru at her breast.

He had not seen her feed the pup before and it fascinated him. Masaru had such a look of bliss on his face. He grew hard watching the body that provided him with such pleasure, now provide nourishment to his seed. He watched his son satisfy himself and fall asleep, his mouth slack.

That's when he realized that Kiku was staring at him, he leaned down and kissed her. "Thank you for caring for my pup.", he said.

She gave him a funny look, "He's mine, too. I love him, and would die for him."

"Rest now, Shinbi. Our pup needs his mother well rested.", he stated pulling her close to him and resting his hand on the pup. He closed his eyes, and concentrated on her heartbeat and breathing. Letting the soothing rhythms lull him into sleep.

He woke to Kiku whispering to Masaru, "Shhhhhh, Papa still sleeps." She and the pup had changed positions, her breast bare except the nipple which was being suckled by Masaru.

She whispered to him, while he fed. Saying things like aren't we so lucky for you to have a daddy like his and how he would become great like his daddy. She stroked his head, back and arm. Occasionally, kissing the little hand he waved around. What took Sesshomaru's breath away was the look in Kiku's eyes, it was like the one he would catch her giving him.

Kiku noticed him awake and said, "Good Morning, Lord Sesshomaru. I trust you slept well." He merely nodded, not admitting to her that he had slept better than he had in a while. He found it pleasing waking to Kiku and Masaru in his bed.

The knocking at the door, broke the odd tension. Jaken entered at Sesshomaru's bidding. "Good Morning, my Lord. I brought tea and something for the woman to eat." He looked at Sesshomaru lounging in bed with the woman, and thought, "How right that looks. Like she belongs with him."

He started at her quiet voice, "Thank you, Jaken-san." His eyes flew to her and she gave him a small smile. Then she looked down and bowed her head. He bowed before them and left the room.

Kiku put the pup on the bed, covered herself and rose from the bed. She went over to a low table that the tray rested on, knelt and poured tea for Sesshomaru. She carried it to him, then went back to eat.

He looked at her, "This Sesshomaru is proud that Masaru's mother was so courageous to stand against demons without weapons. That will not happen again. You will stay here with me, so, I can personally protect you. If I can not be with you, Akira will be here. Do you understand?"

Kiku nodded, "Yes, my Lord." She knew that he would protect them with his life, and she would do as he asked. The only thing she worried about was herself. Could she deny him, if he were to try touch her? She didn't think so, she loved him too much.

A knock at the door, and Akira entered. She carried Akira and Masaru's belongings. "Good Morning, Kiku-san, would you like to bathe now?", she asked.

Kiku glanced at Sesshomaru, who nodded his assent. She walked over and picked up Masaru, explaining that she bathed him when she bathed. She turned and followed Akira from the room, and to his private bath house.

He got up and dressed, deliberately leaving Kiku's scent on his person. He wanted to let his lady Mother exactly where Kiku and his son were and will be staying.
