Dear Readers,
After a long hiatus due to Teenfic.net stealing all of my work and not giving me credit. I have decided to post once more. The petition is still up and running and I hope Wattpad will soon protect us( the users). If anyone is reading this on a platform besides Wattpad; this is stolen work. However I do hope you all enjoy my work the correct way.

          Sincerely;

Shizuka stood before the family that she and Sesshomaru had created. A Dynasty of Sesshomaru of which Sesshomaru and Shizuka would die for. However tonight would not be the end of their family. No; it was only the beginning. As of now; Shizuka had one intention. Protecting the precious home where their children would grow. And no one would ever. With this in mind; Shizuka allowed her feet to hover from the ground below. Leaving a silver glow beneath her feet. Sesshomaru gazed upon his beautiful mate, never before seeing her swimming in such power. As it made the hair on the Daiyokai's arms to stand. His Amber eyes shining with admiration for his mate for he was always amazed at what she truly was and most of all what she could accomplish. Seeing her swimming in her own power he felt it within the very depths of his bones, his reasoning for being with her. The reason he fell for her. And the reason he called Shizuka his mate. Dazzling among even the brightest of stars she was there holding all within her hands embracing them, protecting them, and loving them. This was the power that she held as her own a power that she too shared with the Sesshomaru and their children.

In mere moments Shizuka's entire body was overcome by a brilliant amber glow. Appearing as if she were a star itself incarnate. Daring to grace the "Realm of Men" with it's presence. For even in the eyes of her children; Shizuka was a sight to behold. Utter power made flesh, flesh from which they once came from. They were truly incredible however their mother was on another plane of power. One that would take them perhaps centuries to obtain. As the power Shizuka held was not of madness; no. It was that of love. An eternal source of power that would never fade. So as long as Shizuka held faith in humanity. As even her fury was beautiful. Shizuka allowed her feet to leave the ground, her curvaceous frame floating high into the sky above. Becoming even brighter than the moon itself, her Aura like no other. Shifting yet unwavering as her eyes landed upon those who dared to trespass upon their land.

The wind tossed her robes along with her starless flowing hair, she was breathtaking even to those who looked at her with the distain in their hearts. With her fluorescent eyes upon the yokai whom dared to Bear their fangs at her family. She called to them her voice coming home everywhere around them. The sky, the trees, even the air itself. She was there in her voice was that of a mother who was prepared to end them for hurting her children. "I am Shizuka; celestial maiden of the heavens. Mate to Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western lands. You all have trespassed upon our Land. You have decimated many of our population as such one with smite you where you stand. However, I am a merciful God. And I will allow you to choose your lives or the fire." There was a bite to Shizuka's warning. One that sent a chill down the spine of all. Even Sesshomaru himself. He had never seen his mate like this. And though it was starling. He couldn't help but to find it exciting.

One yokai stood before them all, clad in armor as he exclaimed. "You murdered countless of our kin! God or not you will die here tonight." Upon hearing those words Shizuka swiped her right hand Infront of her. The motion was swift and simple. And that was all that was needed as the ground beneath the yokai quaked. Before splitting apart before silver flames emerged from the split earth. The flames were indeed alive. Filled with the will of Shizuka to judge those she deemed a threat. Her eyes were cold and unmoving, something that caused Souma to become rather nervous. His mother was always so expressive and kind to others. To see her, nonchalantly burning thousands of yokai. Without blinking in eye; it reminded Souma of just how powerful his mother was. She was right. Though she was never one to flaunt, she was a God. And this was a God's wrath in it's true form.

The cries of Shizuka's enemies pierced the night air, as their flesh slid off their bones. Becoming nothing but dust in the wind. It took mere moments for their cries of agony to cease. Leaving what appeared to be a see of ash strewn across the battleground. Slowly Shizuka lowered herself to the ground, bidding her flames to disappear into the earth once more. With the deed done, the Celestial Maiden turned to her family. That familiar and warm smile returning to Shizuka's features. Lightning up the once tense atmosphere. Immediately Hisuri raced to her mother; embracing her tightly as tears going down her cheeks. It wasn't long after that Souma to approached, filled with admiration for his mother. Shizuka reached out for her noble son, bringing him into her arms. He clutched onto his mother tightly, almost as if he was a little prince once more. Only this time he could not only see his mother; but he could touch her. Know her. And this thought moved Souma to tears.

Hesitantly Kagome Higurashi stepped forward, swaddling the well behaved Shion. Who immediately began to stretch her tiny hands for her family. Cooing joyfully, causing Shizuka to smile at her sweet daughter. However instead of Shizuka taking little Shion in her arms. It was Sesshomaru who gazed down upon the Priestess, who tensed up underneath Sesshomaru's stern gaze. Without speaking her took his newest pup into his arms. His eyes finding the pair of dog ears Princess Shion held. However they did not disgust him as the thought once did long ago. No. She was beautiful, and his daughter. No matter her appearance. Turning on his heels, Sesshomaru made his way to his waiting family along with Rin whom had done as she was told. She raced to her family, singing a thank you to Kagome and the others. As Sesshomaru took his place beside his mate; the two gazing at one another. Their love if possible growing even more than prior. Their love was both genuine and eternal. Smiling at the handsome Daiyokai; Shizuka turned to Inuyasha who was unable to forget the sight of carnage and familiar love before him. "Thank you; brother." The nickname was uttered with pure kindness from the Celestial Maiden Shizuka.

It filled Inuyasha and even caused him to crack a smile. Though bashful he commented that someone had to step in and protect his nieces and nephew. At his words Kagome couldn't help but to smile while Sesshomaru nodded a thank you towards his brother. The moon continuing to hang above them. War no longer plagued them, however both Sesshomaru and Shizuka knew that trouble would always find those with power. And they would be ready to defend their way of life. As many times as it took.
