Chapter One: Cherished Ties

Seven Months later

Kagome and Sango sat by a small stream, waiting for Miroku and Inuyasha to return from the nearby village with word on demons or any troubles. Kagome sighed and bounced her seven month old daughter, Kaiya on her lap while her tail gave her son, Atsuko, entertainment. So many demons have come out of hiding when Naraku died. It's hard enough raising Kaiya and Atsuko with so much danger around, but I suppose nothing can be done to change that. At least Inuyasha is willing to defeat the demons. She dug into her kimono for the blanket Sango gave her to allow her to feed her pups without Inuyasha having a fit. When she opened one side, Atsuko began crying softly, signaling he was hungry too. Kagome giggled softly and moved him to her front, Sango aiding her to cover both of them up as they latched on to her nipple to begin feeding. "Geez, you two. Slow down." She said, giggling softly.

Sango smiled and gave into a small chuckle herself. "They seem to tell when the other is hungry. That can be useful." She said as she lay back down on the grass, a tiny bump showed only when she laid on her back. Sango was expecting a child too, although she has not told Miroku about it and Kagome figured Inuyasha knew, due to his own sense of smell.

Kagome grinned. "So, when are you going to tell Miroku? Can't keep him in the dark too long you know." She said.

Sango sighed. "Well, the time hasn't been right and I need to make sure he actually is ready for the news."

"What news, my Sango?" Came Miroku's voice as he, Shippo and Inuyasha walked up. He sat down right as Sango sat up and Inuyasha plopped behind Kagome while Shippo sat in front of her.

Kagome sent Sango a 'Tell him or I will!' look out of the corner of her eye, focusing on Atsuko and Kaiya. When she felt they were done, her tail moved carefully under the blanket to remove Atsuko without making the blanket fall. The feat took her a while to master, but it had to work. "Okay, first you were hungry and then you fall asleep. You can't make up your mind." She mumbled to her son and handed him back to his father so she could fix her kimono and burp Kaiya.

Sango blinked and sighed. "Say, Miroku... You know how you wanted a child?"

"Mhm..." He replied, tilting his head slightly.

"Well, we'll have one in a few months... I'm pregnant." She said, playing with the edge of her skirt.

Kagome bit back a giggle at how Miroku was stunned and then grinned as he pulled Sango into a hug. Kaiya squirmed to make her mother acknowledge her and to tell her that she finished eating, causing Kagome to smile more and fix the other side and bringing a gurgling Kaiya out. "You squirm any more, missy and you might squirm out of my arms..." She held Kaiya over her shoulder and hears her gurgle in a laugh when she saw her dad and brother behind her. "Yes. That's your brother and dad. Now burp and you can go see them." Kaiya seemed to quiet down and let out a baby burp, returning to her gurgling sound. Kagome brought her to face her. "See? Now you can go see your dad."

Inuyasha chuckled as they switched children and Atsuko woke from his nap and made hands at his mother, which she gave her index finger to him as he gave a squeal of happiness and sucked on her finger. "I take it they were fine before we arrived?" He asked.

Kagome blinked and smirked. "Well, yeah. But they enjoy having you to keep them out of trouble. Or so they think. They were quiet and only woke up shortly before you came, just for a feeding... Which Atsuko fell asleep. He must've just wanted to be near Kaiya.." She sighed lightly before grinning at Sango. "See? Was that so hard to tell him? I mean, if you wouldn't have I would have told him myself."

"I just had to make sure he wouldn't bolt." Sango pouted lightly, causing her and Kagome to giggle.

"Well, if he did, I'd chase him down and drag him back by the ear if I had to." Kagome said, nodding in confirmation. "I'm sure I could manage to catch him, even if I had Atsuko and Kaiya with me."

Miroku chuckled. "Yeah.. As if.. You have more speed than I do and that wouldn't be fair. Plus, to think that those two are going to grow up with a 'nice' environment." He grinned.

"Oh really? What makes you say that?" Inuyasha half-glared. He used his free arm to hook around his mate and lift her easily into his lap, without displacing Atsuko.

"Between the temper you two definitely have and then there is... Well, I wouldn't say it to such young ears." Miroku wiggled his eyebrows slightly, earning a deep blush from Kagome, a whack from Sango and a glare from Inuyasha. "What? You complain too, Sango.."

Sango huffed and shot a look at her fiancee. "Well, at least I don't go asking every man if I could bear their child, unlike you." She shot back.

Kagome and Inuyasha just shook their head and watched, noticing the twins were also interested in the show. Kagome cuddled into her mate's chest while holding both pups in her lap, with his chest also supporting them.

Atsuko had black dog ears and the part like his father's was also black while the last half of his hair continued the color. The remainder was white and his eyes were a violet-brown, a mixture of his parent's human forms. Kaiya had the opposite, her hair was black until the tips of her bangs and the end of her hair, where there were streaks of white, included on her dog ears, too. Her eyes were just like her father's.

Miroku shook his head. "Now, now.. I have quit that once I proposed to you. Haven't I you two?" He asked, pleading.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and nuzzled Kagome's head. "Leave us out of this... Its bad enough you've got our twins watching. We ain't gettin involved." He snarled lightly.

Kagome nodded in agreement. "Exactly... You two solve your own problems.. If Sango unmans you, then so be it.. Go argue in your hut." She patted Inuyasha lightly. "Behave.. Just because they want to bring us in doesn't mean you can growl at 'em.." She giggled when the twins repeated their mother's actions, gurgling happily.

Inuyasha softly glared at his mate. "Now look at what you did. They copied you.. You're lucky they're happy.. Otherwise I might have to punish ya.." He grinned when Atsuko curled into his arm, gave a big yawn and fell asleep.

Kagome noticed it and smiled softly. "Can't stay mad and you know it.." She said as Kaiya repeated what Atsuko did, deciding to take a nap. Carefully, she got out of his arms and headed to their hut to lay them down for a nap. Once she laid Kaiya down in the crib located in the second of the three bedrooms, and covered her in the blanket Kaede had given to them, Kagome had a fun plan to allow her mate to take her again and, to help, it seemed she felt her body slightly heat up, signaling something good was happening. Ahh, to feel his cock inside my heated pussy.. I've yearned for it now for nearly six months, since I got too far along for us to fuck. Her mind went into the motions, stripping as she went into their room and curled under the blankets to await the love of her life.

Inuyasha shook his head slightly and followed after sending Miroku an 'I'll tear your dick off if you say anything about this, you perverted muso' glare. Blinking, he thought he smelt Kagome's heat but it seemed to vanish so he ignored it, focusing on placing his son next to his daughter in the crib next to hers, covering him up and exiting. He nearly tripped over his mate's sandals before following the trail with his eyes, seeing it lead into their room as he saw her form under the covers. Shedding his kisode and kimono, he crawled in, only to have his mate roll on top of him with a slight grin on her face. "Figured you wouldn't sleep, koi." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist as her hands toyed with his ears, his body shivering at the touch like it normally did.

****LEMON (DO NOT READ IF UNDER THE AGE OF 18!)****

Kagome leaned down so their noses were touching. "Now, how did you figure that, koishii? I don't believe I gave any hint away that I wouldn't sleep." She murred lightly when his hands began rubbing her ass while she spoke as her body lit up again at the feel of his cock growing hard in his hakama under her belly. Her own hands went between them and followed the opposite path his hands took to cradle her head before capturing her willing mouth in his. Unfortunately, her hands never got the chance to wrap around his cock as he rolled them over so that he was on top of her, his bulge resting against her heat. She purred and arched up slightly while entangling her fingers in his hair and spreading her legs wide to open herself more. "Mmm.. I forgot how hard you got.. Makes me even wetter.. Take me... Please..." She groaned softly when his mouth teased hers by lightly passing over them while the hardened bulge rubbed her clit. Using her hands, she dragged him back to her mouth while she arched up so that the teasing tip of him was near the entrance of her heated pussy.

Inuyasha chuckled and shook his head, dislodging her hands as he licked his way to her mark. While he paid attention to her neck, his hands toying with her breasts, hearing her moan and arch up against his covered cock. Keeping her mouth busy, he shed his hakama and returned to resting on her heat, sinking slightly inside her. Before he could move his mouth to her breast and pull away from inside her, her legs wrapped around his and she pulled when she arched once more, causing him to be deeply seated inside her. The motion caused both to groan as his hands held her hips still and making him leave her neck, smirking down at her. "Sneaky, wench... Very sneaky... I wanted to be gentle.. Since you have other plans, you gonna take over? Or are you gonna let me love you slowly?" He snickered when she pouted a little.

"No fair... But, I suppose I can try to survive." She replied, smiling against his lips when he took her mouth again. To wait was torture to her body, but she reminded herself that he also had needs to tend to, and one need of his was to worship and reacquaint himself with her body. She sighed when he ran his left hand to cup her nape and his right held the small of her back. When his mouth left hers, she moaned softly as his lips trailed back to her mark, resuming what he was doing before. She gasped when he skipped over her breasts and went straight to her heat, the feel of his breath on her clit made her body shudder completely and when he ran a finger up and down the skin connecting her clit and pussy she began panting in broken gasps of air. Being without this for so long made her crave even more as she squirmed closer to his finger and wicked mouth until he took what she gladly offered: herself.

He continued to tease the nub, feeling it harden then soften, knowing she was starting to climb up to her climax. He closed his eyes to absorb her pleasure as her gasps dwindled to quiet whimpers before she sobbed out in her climax and he traveled back up to her lips, which were starting to turn red from their kisses. When she opened her eyes, he smiled at the satisfied look in them. "So... Did you survive?" He asked, remembering her statement from before her climax.

Kagome nodded. "Mmmhmm. I think I did survive... Although... I won't feel myself until you pound me.." She whispered against his mouth when he returned to her lips. Her hands rested on his chest while her legs were wrapped around his. Her insides felt like soup and she was completely lax with happiness.

He smiled and positioned himself at the entrance to her body and slid in easily, causing them both to moan quietly. After a moment to enjoy the feeling, he slowly began to thrust in and out while keeping his normally vocal mate quiet. It also kept him from taunting with his normal taunts during this. He knew if they woke the kids up, they'd never get to be alone again because the kids would think he was hurting their mother, when in fact she had wanted this. Holding her hips up allowed him to go deeper, causing her to pant into the kiss and making him groan into her mouth with each thrust. He growled when her claws started to scratch his shoulders, causing him to move faster and harder as she started whimpering against his mouth. Within minutes, their climaxes hit at the same time, her walls tightening against his cock that begun to swell as his cum swam into her womb, ensuring she would be having another pup or two soon. When they came, he grunted into her mouth the same time she howled into his. He collapsed onto her body, panting softly and hearing her doing the same to catch her breath.

****END LEMON****

Kagome finally caught her breath and smiled as she nuzzled into her mate's shoulder, content and completely sated. It thrilled her to feel him swollen inside her to ensure she would have another life inside of her and that the pup would be from her heat and his seed. She was grateful to be able to have as many pups as they could manage and still keep her slim body after the birth. Happy to have these moments, Kagome knew she would have never been herself if she could not be with Inuyasha. They were meant for each other.

Well, lemme know what you think? And I'll keep updating.
