After the morning bath the servants came in to dress their Lords and Lady. Inuyasha was dressed in a fine bright white kimono with a swirling royal blue pattern across the fabric. To his surprise Sesshoumaru had armor commissioned for him and Inuyasha excitedly put it on. It was quite similar to Sesshoumaru’s except instead of a pauldrin of spikes on one shoulder, Inuyasha had two sets of spikes on each shoulder.

Sesshoumaru also added matching bracers with their family crest upon them for them both. Inuyasha was also given a long white cape of fur rather than a mokomoko since mokomokos were particular to full blooded Inu youkai. They were more of a parasite then anything that grew to huge proportions sinking into the Inu youkai’s flesh as part of their body when they were not worn for battle. Sesshoumaru’s was longer than most where Father’s and Mother’s mokomokos split from one to two and were shorter in length.

Inuyasha then put Tessaiga in the matching blue and white obi. The servant girls pulled his hair up in a topknot and Sesshoumaru had to admit Inuyasha looked like a shorter younger version of Father in his new armor if it were not for those cute little ears and those gorgeous wide eyes.

Inuyasha kissed Sesshoumaru for all he was worth for this present. He really looked like a Lord now and felt like one. Their spikes on their chests clinked together making Pearl giggle a bit.

Sesshoumaru then showed Pearl her surprise. She was to get a set of female armor and a new female samurai kimono. The armor had belonged to his Mother, but Mother didn’t fight anymore and it had been collecting dust. Sesshoumaru had it polished to perfection and also added bracers to match her males. Then he had the servants bring in a brand new bow made for someone her size and a beautifully decorated quiver filled with arrows.

Pearl actually cried a bit in happiness at the gifts. Sesshoumaru had no idea how much this meant to her. The kimono was beautiful. The haori was white silk with a floral design in lavender threading and the hakumas were as brilliant white as Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s. Inuyasha was the one who chose the design for her so that when they traveled their lands and went to the mating celebration she would have something beautiful to wear.

Rushing up to both her men she kissed them passionately. Sesshoumaru was far from done though as she was given boots also. Then Sesshoumaru had the servants bring in something wiggling and cute for both his mates. It was a puppy. A tiny Japanese Spitz. He said the puppy was for all of them, but especially for his Mother who he felt needed something to do besides bother him all day long.

Pearl loved the puppy and was so happy that Sesshoumaru got this cute little thing for his Mother. Apparently the puppy was almost as expensive as Inuyasha’s new armor with a jewel encrusted collar and a leather leash. It was also a breeding female so Sesshoumaru had arrangements with one of the local breeders to continue this puppy’s line for many years.

Sesshoumaru also got a present for himself. He got these things called spectacles for doing his paperwork with. They had magnification for reading and Pearl said when they had seen them at the market that reading glasses were not a bad thing if one wanted to read small print easier. Sesshoumaru wished to try this out since although he could read most things quite easily there were times that the print was so small even he would become frustrated trying to decipher it.

Pearl knew she had to get to her training soon, but was having so much fun playing with the new puppy getting lots of doggie kisses from the little wiggling creature that was so happy to have someone to play with. Pearl mentioned getting a ball for the puppy and chew toys. Sesshoumaru stated they already had those things shaking his head at the silly woman who seemed to forget she was also a dog demon surrounded by dog demons.

Sesshoumaru soon picked up the puppy growling at her to behave as Pearl and Inuyasha followed Sesshoumaru out to go meet with his Mother to show her the new present. Sesshoumaru hoped Mother liked her since he really did not ask before buying her. Mother had agreed to give her old armor to Pearl, but that was different then expecting the woman to care for a baby dog.

Mother was in her sitting room when Sesshoumaru knocked on her door.

“Come in.”

Mother said looking up from the book she was reading shooing away her maids to their duties.

“Mother, I have a gift for you.”

Sesshoumaru said a bit nervously. He really did not want his ear pinched.

“Really. It isn’t wildflowers again is it since they make me sneeze dear. I know I didn’t tell you that before my son, because I love your gifts, but I really can’t abide by them.”

Mother said.

“No Mother, it isn’t flowers this time. It is something I think you will like much more and it will not make you sneeze.”

Sesshoumaru said with hope filled eyes.

Lifting the puppy out of his mokomoko Sesshoumaru growled at it to be still so it remained so lying in his arms.

“Mother as you know our finances have not been the best and it has taken me time to accumulate enough to just scrape by otherwise I would have lavished you with more than flowers or the occasional new kimono.’
“I want to give you something you can love. Something that will love you as much as I do. I never say it to you and it was never because I didn’t love you. It wasn’t until I died that I realized how short time is and I……….”

That was as far as Sesshoumaru got before his Mother in tears rushed up to her son hugging him tightly.

“Oh Sesshoumaru, all I have ever wanted to hear is those words from your lips. You have no idea how much I love you. You are my most precious child and my most perfect gift to this world.”

Mother cried as she held her son who relaxed and finally hugged his Mother back.

The puppy whimpered a bit between them since it was being squished a little.

Mother pulled back from Sesshoumaru and wiped her face. Then she looked at the puppy and sighed.

“What I really want is a grandbaby my dearest boy, but for now this does make me happy.”

Mother said to her son who smiled at his Mother as he handed her the puppy.

“She was the best of the litter Mother. You only deserve the best.”

Sesshoumaru said.

“Thank you. However I still expect my flowers.”

Mother said kissing Sesshoumaru’s cheek before sitting down with the puppy in her lap growling at it to take a nap while she pet it and sighed.

“How does Pearl like her new armor? I know it isn’t as nice as yours or Inuyasha’s which I still say you spent much too much on, but I hope she likes it.”

Mother said.

“She loves it. There are also more of those adamant shards that Inuyasha and I are going to fetch. I plan on getting the rest and having a vault built so we can put many of our valuables away for safe keeping. Father had a vault somewhere around here, but his letters are fairly vague about it and unless the spirits start talking to my mates again I am concerned we will never find it.”

Sesshoumaru said.

“I will consult your Father again. He likes his riddles and he is making this hard for you on purpose. He might throw you a new clue if he is in the mood. You know your Father doesn’t do this to be cruel, he considers all things a learning process.”

Mother said.

“Yes, but if he has what I think he has in that vault our financial issues would not have been such a problem for so long. I do hate using the adamant that Inuyasha earned with blood, sweat, and tears to take care of us. It will also not last forever. Inuyasha says that ability is only good when the tessaiga feels it is necessary for that battle. I am afraid that his technique will not be necessary in the future.”

Sesshoumaru said since from what Inuyasha told him last night humans would take over most of the earth and demons would be the minority. That disturbed Sesshoumaru greatly. Also the fact tessaiga would only produce the adamant barrage in battle only at its choosing bothered him. Those shards he had would last for many years, but not forever.

“Son, I know you are a very intelligent young man. I have complete faith in you and I know that the gods themselves have blessed you. You told me that Pearl’s soul is from the future so I know we will be ok when times change for us. You are surrounded by people who love you and who are here to support you. You have everything you need and if we had nothing else we will still always have each other my son. That makes us very rich indeed.”

Mother said with a smile.

“Mother, I am not used to these new emotions and expressing them. I cannot be kind to everyone and I know my people fear me. I am afraid if I change my ways that they will take advantage of us or try to destroy what I have worked so hard to build.’
“I am not Father, yet I want now more than ever to be more like him. I would rather have my people love me then fear me.”

Sesshoumaru said hoping Mother would understand.

“Sometimes fear is a good thing Sesshoumaru and you would be surprised on how people really feel about you. You are a just and fair ruler. Whatever you decide from this point forward know I will always stand by your side.”

Mother said as Sesshoumaru bent down, kissed his Mother on the cheek then left her with the puppy. He was glad she liked her new gift.

When Sesshoumaru left his Mother’s sitting room he saw Pearl hand in hand with Inuyasha waiting for him.

“Will you both walk me to my first lesson at the female dojo?”

Pearl asked.

Sesshoumaru smiled grasping Pearl’s hand and kissing it.

“It would be my honor.”

Sesshoumaru said.

“Lead away big brother since I have no clue where this place is.”

Inuyasha said with a smile.
