Popsicle

Amaya laughed out to Sango, “I will never forget when Kagome returned the term she had used to describe her brother. I believe it was suitable for him though because you see he had returned to the way he was before Kagome was born.”

Stomping her foot in outrage Kagome glowered, “You remind me of a human Popsicle. Really you are just like Sesshomaru do you not have any emotions. What happened to you what happened to my brother that showed his love for those that he cared about?” By this time Kagome had tears running down her face.

Hoku was never able to deal with her tears so he dropped his mask and gathered Kagome to his chest. “I am sorry Kagome I had to become this way to make sure that our lands where protected and so the other lords would not think me weak and try to take them from me.”

Amaya who was standing in the shadows had a smile on her face. She knew she would have her mate back the one she fell in love with. All that was needed was Kagome’s return. After all she knew how Hoku was before Kagome was born. He acted the same way he does now but it all vanished when he held Kagome for the first time.

Looking at Sango Amaya smiled, “Now that I have explained Kagome’s return home and how Hoku was I can go into their childhood. Hoku and I have been friends practically since we were born. Hoku and I were born on the same day at the exact same time.”

“Push my ladies push,” the healers called to the two ladies that where in labor.

At the exact same time their where two loud screams as two new lives where brought into the world.

“Lady Talia you have a beautiful son and Lady Ami you have a beautiful daughter.” The healer smiled as she handed each pup to its mother.

The ladies looked at each other and smiled they were glowing. The lord and one of his closest friends walked into the room grins firmly in place.

“Your son and heir my lord what shall we name him,” Talia said handing her son to her mate Lord Taki.

Taki took his son into his arms and examined him with a smile on his face he knew the perfect name. “His name shall be Hokutonoken.”

Talia smiled softly she agreed with the name it suited him. Looking over to her friend she smiled. “What have you decided to call her my friends?”

Lady Ami looked up with a smile, “She is going to be called Amaya.”

Toki smiled at his mate, “I believe the name suits her well.”

Lady Ami gave him a tired smile, “You know Talia it must be fate.”

Talia nodded her head in agreement, “Yes I believe you are correct it has to be fate. I believe they are destined to be together.”

They did not realize that Hoku was going to be so cold and act so unemotional. Whereas Amaya was a light hearted loving young lady as the years passed by Hoku’s parents became worried about him. He became worse when Lady Talia and Lord Taki announced that Talia was pupped once more. Amaya watched Hoku closely after this was announced.

Amaya had caught Hoku in the dojo training once again, “Hoku why are you always in hear training.”

“I have to become stronger if I am to be lord of these lands one day.” He answered without looking at her.

Amaya huffed and glared at him, “How do you feel about the new pup.”

Hoku immediately stopped training and shot her a dark glare as he growled out, “Mother and father simply want a pup that they can cuddle and coddle.”

Amaya stomped her foot childishly, “You know that is not true and you also know that you do not need to be so cold to everyone.”

He glowered at her, “We may be betrothed to each other but that does not mean you are able to tell me what to do or how to act Amaya.”

Sighing deeply Amaya looked at him tears about to fall, “Hoku I am not trying to tell you what to do or how to act. I love you I have always loved you and I would not have you any other way but sometimes I wish you showed just a little emotions if only to your family. Think about it Hoku how you would treat this new child a baby needs love and constant care. Would you really deny your baby sibling that?”

Hoku glared at her but he thought over what she had said as he watched her leave. He deduced that she did have a valid point.
