A/N: Okay, this story has one thing I know some of you guys squirm at: male pregnancy. Just know I love Inuyasha to pieces, I hate what happens in the story with him, but hey, it's fan fiction, what can we do? Anyway, enjoy the story!

"Fuck, fuck, fuck…"

This was repeated the entire walk.

Inuyasha was looking worse for wear lately, and now it was January. A sudden blizzard decided to show itself up and he was stuck inside a cave. Unfortunately for him, he had other sudden problems he had to deal with.

Nine weeks ago, he had been in love with Kikyo. It seemed so happy and grand. And then one day, she decided that being with a half demon would destroy her soul and cursed him with her power…curse him to die.

And now that curse was about to come to it's final climax.

The pain he felt was as if someone had twisted his spine and snapped it in two. His breath was labored as his clawed hands touched his round stomach. He looked over at the dagger nearby. Sure, he would've sought help if he was a woman but this was one thing, he knew he couldn't do.

Damn her to hell…oh wait, maybe she'd soon be there, he didn't know.

Footsteps were heard outside the cave as a long shadow filled the mouth of the cave. It was male, long white hair flowing around due to the wind that blew, his boa around him a moment. His face showed no emotion as he stared at the dog hanyou laying there, writhing in pain.

"Now you see what wretches humans can be," he said quietly.

Inuyasha's ear's slid back against his head. "Don't fuck with me, Sesshomaru," he growled.

"Someone already did," Sesshomaru said seriously.

"Why are you here?!" Inuyasha demanded.

"First off, you can't deliver that pup on your own," Sesshomaru said watching him. "Second, this child will be heir of the West. So I have to be here." He moved swiftly to Inuyasha's side and knelt down as he picked up the dagger next to him.

"Don't think this changes anything," Inuyasha whispered.

"I don't expect it to," Sesshomaru said and cut into his brother's stomach.

Inuyasha woke to the sound of the wind blowing outside. He was in a lot of pain, as he was regaining consciousness. As if he could remember what the hell happened, all he remembered was the dark taking over. The cave was warmer, mostly because someone had managed to seal it off.

Sesshomaru looked up from where he was sitting, holding something now wrapped in his furry boa. "You're awake," he said. "You've been out for a few days now."

"Days?" Inuyasha's voice sounded weak to himself.

"Yes," Sesshomaru said as he walked forward and sat down as Inuyasha sat up slightly. "The child's fine. Very healthy. Looks a lot like you. I found a few mountain goats I used for milk purposes."

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked.

"The West has an heir…yet you've broken tradition," Sesshomaru said. "It's a girl."

Inuyasha blinked and looked as Sesshomaru revealed the newborn to him, who was wrapped in some blankets as well. She had a bit of silver hair sticking out off her head and rosy cheeks. She also had the same puppy ears he had, white as well. All one could see was mostly her head and face.

He slowly took the baby into his arms.

Sesshomaru looked at this. "Because I'm the Lord, I have to name her," he said.

"Oh god, you picked something stupid," Inuyasha groaned.

"Not really, just the last half of your name," Sesshomaru said. "Since it means female demon, I named her Yasha. I figured too since she looks like you, it would be fitting."

Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow up and looked seeing the baby open her eyes, golden orbs staring up at him. Damn, the kid was a splitting image of him! Yet…she was a girl. Most heirs were to be male, but it would be a cold day in hell if Sesshomaru decided to get a girl pregnant for his own heir. So now he was the one that had the best chance, and here she was.

"I see," he said finally as he nodded. "Surprised you named her as heir seeing she's not male."

"Perhaps it's better this way," Sesshomaru said standing up. "I have food that should last you several months until the storms pass. I may see how she's doing later on. For now, I must go." He moved to leave as he paused. "Don't screw up again," he warned.

"Go to hell," Inuyasha said as his way of saying he wouldn't. He watched his brother go and looked down at his daughter. He wasn't ready to be a father, but now he had no choice in the matter.

He wasn't about to be like his father…he just hoped he could make him proud.
