A/N: WOO Chapter 7!! I've finally found and wrestled down my muse who is currently being forced into creative writing J hope you enjoy!

Looking to Toga Kagome saw him staring off into the valley. Following his line of sight Kagome stopped breathing. For that magnificent but terrifyingly huge Inu she saw watching them could be none other that his father. The present Inu-No-Taisho…Rai….

***

Gulping for air Kagome fought off the terror that was slowly seeping into her very soul unconsciously covering Kisho and hiding his scent and aura. Blinking Kagome mentally shook herself, 'Come on Kagome! You are the Shikon Miko, You are the one who defeated Naraku and You have single handedly put up with Inuyasha for three years! If all that means nothing in the face of this youkai then you name might as well be but a child!' nodding in determination Kagome set her shoulders and raised her head standing proudly and defiantly as the grandsire of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru made his way to the trio as much of the colony or pack watched.

Rai was a very imposing figure standing taller than his son at seven feet with the broadest shoulders Kagome had ever seen. His armor was very similar to what Toga was wearing after the defeat of So'unga though completely black. Rai wore a deep navy Hakama and Hakamashita that had elaborate golden designs. His eyes were the trademark gold of the Taisho line though his were extremely dark more cold than even Sesshoumaru's. Two navy stripes graced his cheeks and on his eyelids. His mane was shoulder length and was a silver mercury color. Everything bout him screamed a dark masculinity.

Barely restraining a shudder from running down her spine, Kagome noticed that those cold golden eyes were fixed upon her and her pup.

Rai's POV

'Looking over the adolescent pups training is always so amusing', Rai thought. I moved to correct one of the smaller pups form when I felt my son and an unknown presence enter the barrier. I growled lightly making the pups whimper, the foolish boy was always bringing in strays and now it was a human miko. One of substantial power that could easily pose a threat to the younger members of my pack. Stalking to the ignorant pup, I examined his new toy. Though human the wench was particularly beautiful for the race she seemed an ordinary high priestess but something was off about her, I keep sensing traces of youki…

Reaching them, I set my glare upon my eldest pup.

Normal POV

Toga nearly flinched when his fathers gaze settled on him. Bowing his respects Toga decided to get it all over with. "Chichi-ue, while out scouting I happened upon this miko who I have discovered is quite an oddity." Rolling her eyes Kagome held her tongue on scolding the prince when the elder Inu shifted his stare to her. Seeing his eyes scan her body then minutely focus on the bundle she was carrying Rai failed to notice anything out of the ordinary to warrant his son's curiosity despite her powers and the odd trace he found earlier.

"And what would this oddity be?" Rai asked, "Other then the very small traces of youki in her aura?" Looking to the miko Toga raised a brow at her protective stance against his father. "Let down the barrier miko" shaking her head Kagome held Kisho tighter.

"Not until he promises no harm," she said locking eyes with the imposing Tai-youkai. "Kagome just do it." Toga said gaining his sire's inquisitive gaze. "No! He has to promise." Kagome said beginning to step back from the two, guarding her pup closer "I will not risk it. I can't," She pleaded. Sighing Toga turned his attention to his father, "Would you be willing to give your word that you won't be any danger?"

Rai had a decision to make. Should he give his word not to hurt the miko and find out the reason why his son is so intrigued or just kick her out of his den? Switching between the both of them, he sighed heavily and nodded his consent, "Very well then no harm shall come to you". Kagomes shoulders immediately relaxed and giving each Inu one last glance Kagome looked down to her pup and slowly let down her charm.

Instantly Rai's eyes widened as he took in the scent and aura of what was apparently a hanyou pup. What surprised him further was that the miko had bonded herself to the young one as its 'mother'.

Snarling Rai looked to the slightly cowering miko. "Whose pup is this?! You dare try to deceive your way into my den?" he growled stepping toward the miko. 'Oh shit I knew this was a bad idea.' Kagome thought conjuring a powerful barrier around herself and Kisho. Deciding to step in, Toga tried to placate his sire. "Father please, she has not stolen the pup. Kagome found the pup orphaned with the pups mother nearby. Dead." Toga pleaded. Searching his son's eyes, he saw that his pup truly believed the miko. Eyeing the miko once more, Rai relented.

Seeing Rai pacified her barrier dropped and looked down the pudgy fingers tugging a lock of her onyx hair. Silver and blue orbs locked and saw only the other.

: Alpha-Mother, Danger?: Kisho whined. Smiling Kagome shook her head.

:No Pup no danger: Kagome yipped

Kisho sighed contently when suddenly Kagome saw his ears come to attention and his nose twitching. Sitting up big bright sliver eyes took in his surroundings, the other Inu and the large wide plains and finally the enormous Inu standing nearly straight ahead. Looking tooken back the pup snorted.

Kisho's POV

'Where is pup? Many others like Alpha-male here.' sniffing around Pup smells something…like sparking light (lightening)? Looking around pup no find smell. Turning to next side pup sees an even More powerful male than Alpha-Male. Sniffing the male pup finds that this is Alpha-Males sire. Pup is confused. 'Is Inu-male Alpha or Alpha Alpha?'

:Alpha-Male: Pup whined out. The Inu-male answered.

:Pup Alpha-Male here: he growled to pup.

Normal POV

Seeing her pups confusion Kagome sought to solve the problem. Turning her gaze to Rai Kagome gathered her courage to address the massive inu. "Rai-Sama, on the journey here my pup, Kisho" she gestured to her pup "had come to address Toga-sama as his Alpha so now he is slightly confused with the sudden change." Nodding Rai took a step closer the miko and hanyou pup noticing the pup had a lock of black and the miko silver. 'Hmm interesting trait. More than likely from the bonding.'

Gesturing so hold the pup Kagome reluctantly set her pup into the arms of the Inu-No-Taisho going on faith alone.

Holding the pup up face-to-face Rai examined the little fellow. 'Strong build if not a bit on the heavier side though much is muscle. The pups eyes are an interesting color, I have not seen many with silver eyes, this pup will be powerful especially with the mikos gift of purification resistance.' opening Kisho's mouth to examine his fangs he chuckled at the pups growls of discomfort. Seeing that the pup was of good health Rai turned to head into the center of the colony.

Worried Kagome followed him closely to ensure her pups safety. Toga sighed in relief as his father walked off with the pup in apparent acceptance. He only hoped that his mother and younger sibling would be as accepting as well as the other pack members…

A/N: well I'm sorry for the shortness but as promised here is the update before Christmas. I was expecting more to be written but alas it was not to be especially with trying to get things done (shopping ect.) with the current weather here in western Wa. Quite a lot of unexpected snow for here (around a foot probably more).

Have a great Christmas everyone!!
