Chapter 1

The birth of Sesshomaru and his twin.

In the western lands of feudal Japan. Is demon lord and his mate. The demon lord's name is Inutaishou. He is 6'3'' and has long white hair kept in a high pony tail. The demon lord also has medium gold eyes. And on each cheek is one jagged blue stripe. His mate is Akemi. She is 6'0'' and has long silver hair. Akemi has blue eyes and two purple stripes on each cheek. She is also three and a half months pregnant. Akemi and Inutaishou are over joyed that they are going to be parents. Because Akemi is carrying twins. Since they are the Lord and Lady of the west. Both of their twins have a good chance of making to adult hood.

Right now they are finishing their patrol. They are two miles away from the castle. The two demons are transformed as huge dog demons. Luckily Akemi can do this while she is pregnant. When she transforms and untransforms it doesn't harm or bother her unborn twins. As they walked Inutaishou said "Well I'm glad there is no threat to our lands. So I don't have to be away from you." Akemi nodded and said "Me too I don't want you to have to go fight. And miss the birth of our pups." The demon lord smiled and said "I wouldn't miss the birth of our pups for the world."

Just then they saw the castle so they untransformed. The two demons went into the castle. They were greeted by the servants. The head servant said "Lord Inutaishou the priestess Lena is here." Inutaishou nodded and asked "Which extra room did you put her in?" The head servant said "I put her in the room next to your's and Lady Akemi's." He nodded and headed to his and Akemi's room. Akemi is already is already in bed waiting for him to join her.

Inutaishou took off his armor, pelts, and put away his swords. Then he got into bed with his mate. He laid down facing his mate. Then he placed a clawed hand on Akemi's large round belly. Inutaishou smiled when he felt the pups move and kick. Then he said "I can sense that they are strong and healthy." Akemi smiled and said "That's good I'm glad that they are ok." Just then demon lord hummed. The demoness asked "Is something wrong dear?" Inutaishou said "It's probably nothing to worry about. But one of the pups doesn't have their head down." Akemi said "I'm not due for two more weeks. Maybe the pup will turn around."

Soon the two demons fell asleep. In the morning they woke when the servants announced that breakfast is served. Inutaishou and Akemi got up and got dressed. Then they went to the dinning room. After eating Akemi went out to the flower garden. And Inutaishou went to his study. Once in the flower garden Akemi pulled weeds. As she pulled weeds she wondered what her pups would look like. And Akemi wonder what their genders are. As far as looks she knows. That almost everyone on her side of the family. Have markings on their foreheads. The most dominate markings are.

Blue crescent moons, crosses, and stars. And as far as genders of the pups. Akemi hopes that one is a boy. As far as the second pup she doesn't care what the gender is. So she doesn't mind if she has two boys or a boy and a girl. Once Akemi was done pulling weeds. She picked flowers for Inutaishou's study and for their bed room. After picking flowers she went into the castle. She went into her mate's study and said "I picked some flowers for your study." Inutaishou looked up from his scrolls and smiled. Akemi put the flowers in the clay vase then left. Then she went into hers and Inutaishou's room.

She picked up the clay vase and put the flowers in it. As she went to put it down she felt a strong sharp pain. Suddenly she felt another sharp pain and dropped the vase. Inutaishou heard something hitting the floor. So he left his study to see what's going on. As he looked around he found Akemi in their room. She is sitting on the floor and he can sense that she's in pain. The demon lord went up to his mate and asked "What's wrong Akemi?" She growled in pain and said "I think I'm going into labor." Worried Inutaishou summoned Lena and helped Akemi into bed. When Lena came into the demon lord asked "Is something wrong? Akemi isn't due for two more weeks." Lena smiled and said "Nothing is wrong My Lord. Females carrying more than one pup tend to go into labor early." The demon lord calmed down and sat next to Akemi. Ten hours later Lena told Akemi to push. The demoness pushed until Lena told her to stop. Then Lena told her to push one more time. Akemi pushed on more time. Suddenly they heard light whimpering. Lena quickly cleaned off the pup. Then she cut the cord and said "It's a boy." She wrapped the pup in a white blanket. Then she gave the pup to Inutaishou.

Lena then told Akemi to push again. Just then she saw the pup's butt instead the head. Lena told Akemi to stop pushing. Then she carefully pulled out the pup's butt and legs. The priestess told Akemi to push. Akemi pushed but she didn't hear anything. Lena quickly cleaned off the pup and cut the cord. The demoness asked "How come I don't hear any crying?" Lena said "The pup was breech and she isn't breathing." The priestess lightly pressed down on the pup's chest. She kept doing that until the pup started to lightly cry. Lena wrapped the pup in a purple blanket. The priestess gave the pup Inutaishou. She then cleaned up and left.

Akemi sat up to look at her pups. The boy has white hair, two purple stripes on each cheek and on both wrists. And on his forehead is a blue crescent moon. The girl has platinum silver hair and a blue cross on her forehead. Just then the boy opened his dark gold eyes. And the girl opened her light gold eyes. Akemi smiled and said "The girl will be named Shika." Inutaishou nodded and said "And the boy will be named Sesshomaru. Now you rest." Akemi laid down and closed her eyes and went to sleep. Inutaishou stood and left the room. Once out of the room he can tell it's mid afternoon.

So he decided to go around the castle and let the servants see Sesshomaru and Shika. Once he was done it was dark and both pups are asleep in his arms. So Inutaishou went to his and Akemi's room. He put the pups in a wooden cradle together. Then he quietly got into the bed next to his mate. As he fell asleep he hoped the pups would sleep though the night.
