Kindred Spirits

Family

Lord Sesshomaru soon spotted his home hidden within the mountains of the Western Lands. Eager to be reunited with his beloved once more, he ushered Hisuri and the Dragoness to make haste. A playful smile forming on Hisuri's lips as she obliged with her father. Choosing to quicken her pace, as she now soared pass her father. Whizzing pass Sesshomaru in a blur of black, calling to the Dragoness. "Race ya!" "My Lady I don't think that is wise-" the Dragoness began, abit hesitant to do anything that could cause the Sesshomaru to become angry.

"Oh come on now, dont be a stick in the mud!" Hisuri called out once more. Wishing for someone for once to treat her as a normal person. Not some princess that needed to be pampered and protected. "Let loose for once." Hisuri grumbled in annoyance as Hisuri chose to leave the Dragoness and her father behind. The young Hisuri landing within the comforts of a fairly lush garden. Sighing lightly Hisuri made her way through the thick greenery. Soon finding none other than Rin herself.

Who giggled happily as she pranced around her elder brother Souma. Souma a strong and stoic man now stood decorated in flower crowns Rin had made for him. And even played dress up with the little tyke. Unable to hold back her laughter,Hisuri alerted both her siblings of her arrival. Spotting her little Rin dropped the many flowers in her tiny hands and ran into Hisuri's arms. Weeping as Hisuri scooped up her younger sister,gently soothing the young girl's tears with her words.

"I told you I'd come back." Hisuri commented as Rin nodded, gripping onto Hisuri tightly. All the while Souma dusted away all the flower crowns off his being. Before rising to his feet to meet the emerald gaze of his sister, who smiled warmly towards him. "I'm back,brother." Hisuri breathed as Souma closed the space between the siblings, bringing both his sister's into a tight embrace as he spoke. "You had me worried,I felt your aura spike and then....nothing." Souma began, worry evident in his voice. Causing Hisuri to smile even more towards her brother.

He was worried about her,his little sister. Peering up to her brother, Hisuri placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Hoping her safety and touch would melt his very fears away. "I'm alright,had abit of trouble but nothing i cant handle!" Hisuri commented with a toothy grin, causing Souma to crack a small smile at her silliness. But he couldn't hide the fear he had felt in her absence. The sense of being alone truly coming down upon Souma, who struggled to gather his thoughts about him. And it only increased when Souma felt a sharp pain in his chest, and at that very same moment Hisuri was attacked by Shinimi. Being poisoned by their aunt and placed into a stooper.

It was then that Souma had come before his mother and father. Beckoning them to allow him to adventure out to find Hisuri. Explaining that he believed something had gone horribly wrong, and he should be the one to find her. "Perhaps he's right, Hisuri should have returned yesterday." Sesshomaru commented as Shizuka herself took a stand. Making her way to her son's side, bidding him to look her in the eye. And he did. "Im afraid this is not a journey for you,Souma. Your father will go in your place." "I will?" Sesshomaru questioned as Shizuka gave her lover a stern gaze shutting the Daiyokai up as she spoke.

"I understand your love for your sister. But we need you here sweetheart. After all who will protect Rin and I while your father is away?" Shizuka pointed out, now entrusting her life to Souma. Who stared towards hia mother in both shock and admiration. "My life is in your hands, Souma." Hisuri informed as the brave Souma nodded declaring he would protect his mother and Rin while Sesshomaru was away.

Earning a meaningful nod from Sesshomaru, who took his leave to find Hisuri. "I felt fear brother." Hisuri began, bringing Souma back to reality as the two siblings with the smiling Rin in tow. Began to make their way to the villa, where surely their father and the Dragoness had made it already. " This world is a beautiful yet frightful one brother. Evil lay behind every corner." Hisuri informed her brother as they walked, answering many of his questions. As Souma had yet to be allowed outside the gates which kept them safe all their lives.

"Yokai that rival our father? That's quite a stretch don't you think?" Souma commented not really believing that a yokai could ever be as powerful as their father. As Lord Sesshomaru single handedly ruled to Western Lands and conquered many others before their mother appeared. He was a formidable being,as many lesser yokai cowarded just as the sound of Sesshomaru's name. Striking fear in their hearts. "I would never lie, their are yokai with unearthly powers and.....faces of familiarity." Hisuri breathed as the siblings soon made it to the throne room.

There awaiting them was Sesshomaru, who had taken his rightful place on his throne. While the beautiful Shizuka stood by his side, her regal posture demanding attention. There they were. Two of the most powerful beings in existence and they so happened to be their parents. Lowering Rin to the ground,Hisuri and Souma bowed before their parents. Giving them the upmost respect they deserved. While the Dragoness fell to her knees, unable to take her eyes off the glorious form of Shizuka. Who's body gave off a vibrant silver light which spread through out the entire room. Surrrounding the three children in what felt like a warm hug by their mother's aura. Who couldn't help but to smile happily towards her children.

"Welcome home, we have much to discuss." Shizuka informed as Hisuri nodded towards her mother,bidding the Dragoness to her side. Who's gaze still remained glued on Shizuka who too sensed the massive amount of aura emitting from the Dragoness. "Speak, Dragoness." Shizuka ordered, her voice booming across the room creating a brief gust of wind due to the force.
