Over the Moon

`He will be strong,' Sesshomaru thought.

Sesshomaru watched the young hanyou as he pulled himself to his feet and take a step towards his mother.

"Come on, Baby, you can do it," she encouraged. She was on her knees in an elaborate kimono, her hands held outward.

`She is a good mother, and I will be here to teach him. He will not grow up without a father as InuYasha did.'

The Daiyoukai would never admit out loud that he had finally allowed himself to yield to the girl that had been with him since her eighth summer because of the strength of his brother. He was living proof that human blood was not the weakness he assumed it to be. With one small step, he had made the leap to the moon.

Rin hugged their son. "Can you go to Papa now?"

A leap in the right direction.
