Sesshourmaru was suddenly startled from his sleep as he awoke to his mate thrashing back and forth in her sleep. Gently placing a hand on either shoulder he quietly spoke, "Love, wake up. You are just having a bad dream. Kagome!"
Slowly her eyes opened with a look of sheer pain and fear. "What is the matter Love?" he asked her.
Shaking her head she replied, "It is just the dream I had is all, it felt so real; like an omen if you will."
"Then why don't you tell this Sesshoumaru what bothers you in your sleep. Together we will work through it and squash it before it can happen again." he said while righting the both of them into a sitting position, all the while rubbing soothing circles into her back to calm her nerves.
Nodding her head she decided to do just that. "It stated off with our four pups being born already, three boys and one girl. I was in a field with them while you and Jaken were on patrol. Shippo had run off with Sango and Miroku to rebuild a village that was devastated by a human army and Rin had taken off to Kaede's village to begin her studies as a Priestess." she paused as she saw shock appear in his eyes at what she spoke of.
"Does what I just said trouble you, my Lord?" she asked.
"I will wait to ask my questions until after you have completed the dream. Please continue Love." he said.
Slowly she continued again, "On the horizon I could hear Captain Sephiroth yelling at me and our pups to return to the Palace at once, something about it being unsafe. I then flared my aura out to try and detect where the enemy was and all I could sense was a friend; though I am not sure who it was. Suddenly a blast of pure dark energy shot forth and killed Captain Sephiroth where he stood, our pups quickly got behind me as I lifted a barrier for protection around them."
Taking a pause in her recalling of events, she looked to her mate for comfort again. "I promise nothing will happen to you or our pups, Love. Please continue if you can."
Hesitantly she agreed, "Once the barrier was around our pups the once friend turned foe attacked me and injected a paralyzing poison into my system after a very long battle. to my horror the poison also rendered my barrier useless; our pups were powerless to stop their slaughter as they were butchered before my very eyes. All I could do was to watch in silent horror until my tears blurred my vision too much. I was yelling, screaming, and fighting in my head to reach out for you but something was blocking me. Before I could see who the foe was, you woke me up. I swear Sess, I know this demon very well and I fear this dream will try to come to past. The last thing I remember hearing though was the demon stating "You are mine; always have and always will be MINE!" I don't know what I would do if I have to witness that in reality." she said as she once again broke down and cried.
"Shh Love, I have you now and always. No one will ever take what is mine or take the life of any of our pups." he said protectively. 'Now is not a good time to tell her that she was correct about having four pups and what sex they are. I must make sure to have her protected at all times especially when I must go on patrol once the pups are birthed.' he thought quietly.
Mumbing quietly as she drifted off to sleep; she asked him, "Sess...please tell me...I was wrong...either with the number or their sex...I want our pups to live."
He stiffened and felt a sharp pain course through his body, for their time of happiness has been marred by this vision she has foreseen. 'How am I to tell her that she carries exactly three sons and one daughter? I wish for her happiness about our pups arrival, not dreading her vision. I must find this new threat and kill it before it causes my family any real pain. Tomorrow Sephiroth will undergo more training to strengthen his resolve so he can become my Mate's new guard.' he declared to himself.
He erected a barrier around the entire palace before he himself laid back down and embraced his mate's back to his chest to fall back to sleep.
That night the Western Land's Lord and Lady slept with the heaviest of hearts with the knowledge of what fate has decided to try and throw their way.
Elsewhere in the Western Lands two lone wolves raced for the southern most regions. When the sun started rising Koga and Ayame were already in the southern most part; searching drastically for Kikyo, or at least her remains.
Within an hour they both had heard rumors of a very badly beaten Priestess that was shacked up in a little village near the Western and Eastern border. 'I wonder if that could possibly be this Priestess Kikyo that Koga is in search of?' Ayame wondered.
So they quickly changed directions and headed towards the village that they were told of.
"We should be there by nightfall, should nothing occur that would deter or delay us further." he stated as she nodded in agreement. Together the two wolf demons quickened their pace.
Within two hours of their journey Koga stopped dead in his tracks, 'Is that...it couldn't be...why the hell is this scent all over the place?'
"Hey Ayame, what do you smell when you scent the air around here?" he asked cautiously, wanting to make sure he was right before he continued.
'Sniff, sniff' "Um...I smell blood, dark magic at work, and that of the half breed that Kagome would travel with. Though the magic spells a lot like that vile half breed that Kagome helped kill." she said.
"That is what I was afraid of. From the smell of the blood it belongs to the formerly dead Priestess Kikyo, but I am not a hundred percent sure I know what exactly is going on. We must find Priestess Kikyo and ask her. We need to just follow the scent of her blood." he said as they continued to search for Kikyo's where abouts.
They continued on their quest with a little more vigor than they had before their more recent discovery.
Back at the Western Palace; Miroku and Sango were strengthening their relationship with one another.
"Miroku, when did you want to plan our union into marriage? I am ready to be one with you and to bear your non-lecherous children!" she said the last part with a smirk.
Leaning in to give her a kiss he replied, "We are under Lord Sesshoumaru's and Lady Kagome's protection now, sort of like their wards; it would be improper for us to not ask them for their blessings before hand. If I know Lord Sesshoumaru, like I think I do, he would be pleased with us for our act of honor and respect towards him and his mate and will more than likely plan the day himself to have the whole court and land in attendance. Maybe not as big as his and Kagome's ceremony was but I doubt it would be a small and simple one either."
"Then shall we go and ask them Love?" Sango asked.
"Yes lets, we have waited long enough! I am in dire need of an heir to my lecherous ways, and you will be the perfect specimen for me to corrupt to my ways!" he smirked at her.
Together the two walked towards the private bed chamber of the Lord and Lady of the Western Lands. Upon arriving at their destination they quietly knocked on the door and awaited the command to enter, which they didn't need to wait long to hear.
"You may enter Lady Sango and Monk Miroku." Sesshoumaru stated as both he and Kagome slowly sat up in bed to greet their guests and friends.
Upon entering the room; Sango saw Kagome's face and immediately asked, "Gome, is everything okay? You look as though someone or something has just trampled all over you and your future."
"You have no idea how right you are Sango. I will be fine though for I have faith in my Mate!" she said while squeezing his hand gently. 'I think I would have felt better if he hadn't told me that my pups were the same as the ones from my dream last night, or was it more of a vision?' she thought sadly at that little bit of knowledge.
