Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Okay, okay. I haven't been writing lately because of a huge case of writer's block. Really sorry. BUT, I DID have time to carefully y plan out my previous Inuyasha story. I realized that I needed to tell Sesshomaru's, Inuyasha's and Mizu's personal stories before I tell the story of the Frog Legs. So, here is Sesshomaru's story. It all started a cold night in the middle of winter…..
Year: 998 A.D.
"Mizu-san, Mizu-san! Get in here immediately! Where is the Lord?!"
"I'm coming. Rest you nerves."
"B-but how?! The Lady will deliver any minute!"
"Calm down Yuki. She's having a baby, not a whale."
The youthful looking healer entered the room with a calm reserve look on her face. She appeared to be only 8 years old to the naked eye. She had much darker skin than most in Japan, had her blue hair pulled up in a large bun and had golden eyes. Mizu also had two dog ears atop her head, showing her hanyo heritage. She was an odd mixture, and it was rare to see anyone like her living, let alone inside a royal palace.
Yuki glanced at her in despair from her spot beside the Lady's bedside. She herself only looked around 20. Yuki was a bear youkai with long brown hair and brown eyes who usually was a reserved calm soul. As of now….
"How can you say that? The Lord isn't here, she delivering early and it's my VERY FIRST BORN!"
"Your first born? Your 57, you should have done this many times by now. Yuki….you seem to be more worried about your performance than the baby."
"I-I know. But you're in your 500s. I can't be as calm as you. I-"
"Stop it! Your gonna be just fine, all you have to do is hold the Kaze's hand and I'll do the rest."
"Oh bless you Mizu. You-"
"Don't thank me yet. Next time your gonna watch. After that you're doing it. Then you do it by yourself. That's the only way you'll-"
"AHHHH! MIZU! PLEASE, WHERE IS TOGUA?!"
Mizu quickly turned her attention to the birthing daiyoukai on the futon. She was only 3 months along in her pregnancy, 2 months early for most youkai births. This made it critical that the Lady didn't lose too much blood and that she have constant attention. But that didn't seem to bother Mizu in the least, who was the palace's top healer and nurse, despite her young appearance. In reality she was one of the oldest people that lived at the palace, not to mention Togua and Kaze's, the Lord and Lady's, personal adviser, friend and in some odd way, their child.
"Now, now, Kaze. It was such short notice for him, so he's probably still in the Northern Lands. It does take four days to make the trip so I highly doub-"
A burst of wind barraged its way through the room, blowing out all the candles, leaving the three females in the dark.
"KAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Togua. You never cease to amaze me."
…….
"Wow…..I thought you said it was gonna be a girl."
"Even Lords can be wrong Mizu," Togua said from his place next to Kaze. He had taken off his armor and was in more comfortable attire so he could soothe his mate.
In Kaze's arms was a small bundle of silver hair, much like his father. He had golden eyes and small…everything. It was obvious he took his father's hair, for his mother had jet black hair. But, when one looks close enough, you could clearly see he took more after Kaze. He had her large, sharp eyes, her facial structure, light pink markings on his face, arms and legs and most notably, a crescent moon marking of the Tsukinos perched on his forehead that matched the one that light up the sky on this particular night.
"He looks exactly like you."
"Hello there little one, you tried to kill me didn't you. Didn't you?" Kaze humorously cooed to her child. "You're so beautiful."
The baby, in truth, was one of the most gorgeous she'd ever seen but at the same time was an odd one to Mizu. For one thing, he didn't cry, AT ALL. Even after she cleared his airway and smacked his bottom he still only gave a small gasp. Another thing was his size. He barley fit in the palm of the Lord's hand. Even the most early of premature babies were large enough to fit in one's forearm.
And his eyes.
Wow,
they were piercing with wisdom and knowledge that a newborn shouldn't possess. It was as if they were searing through her soul daring her to make a false move.
The most bloodcurdling factor was his aura.
Unlike most youkai babies who had little to no aura. This child had an overwhelming aura that took up the entire room. Had it not been for his parents' auras, the entire palace would've been taken over.
But his parents didn't even seem to realize these oddities.
"Let me hold him, please," she asked timidly. As the Tsukino of water, she should've been fearless against a one hour old.
"Where's Yuki?" Kaze gratefully handed her child over to her midwife.
"Probably having another panic attack. She'll be alright," Mizu replied as she took the small bundle. It stared back at her with bold eyes. Now that she had a closer look, he wasn't so intimidating. He still was, but not as much. His breathtaking beauty completely took over his haunting aura.
"Hi…..I'm Mizu. Ummm, I hey!" The tiny baby boy had fallen asleep in her arms. Apparently she was too boring for him. "Fine. I don't care."
Kaze chuckled at the two. "You know, Mizu. He could just feel really comfortable around you."
"Hmp."
"Oh! I almost forgot. What are we going to name him?" Kaze exclaimed. She'd given birth so quickly they hadn't thought of any names.
"Well, I was thinking we could name HER after my mother, Rin. But since he's a boy, how about…..Sesshomaru," Togua suggested.
"A lean, mean killing machine….fits," Mizu thought to herself. "Something tells me you and I are gonna spend a loooooooooong time together."
"Hmm, for some odd reason, I like it. It suits him well," the Lady replied. Togua gestured for Mizu to hand him the petite baby.
"Sesshomaru it is then," He said looking down at his heir. "I swear on my life to protect you, no matter what. You are the most important thing to me….I love you, son," he nestled himself next to Kaze on the bed as she rested her head against him. The perfect family.
