This Time: Prologue

It was evening in the western lands of Japan, the current lord, InuTaisho, was awaiting the birth of his firstborn child and heir to the western lands.

His current mate, Harinee, had been in labour for about half a day by now, with still no sign of the child...yet.

'What the hell is taking so long? It's been half a day already! What if the pup doesn't make it out alive and dies...NOO! The pup cannot die! The pup must stay alive, why is this taking so long? Fuck, what if my mate dies in the process? There's no way I can live and help nurture my pup on my own...' InuTaisho thought with worry, but was interrupted by a head sticking out of the door, that said,

"Milord, you may come in now and congratulations on a healthy male pup." The head servant Seina, a green female wolf demon spoke.

"Arigatou, Seina." InuTaisho thanked and stepped inside the labour delivery room.

InuTaisho's POV

As I stepped into the delivery room, the only thing I could notice was my beautiful darling mate, Harinee, holding a small bundle in her arms.

So I walked up to her, and as I arrived to her side, she handed the bundle to me. Holding the bundle carefully I saw a head with silver hair, turning to my mate, I asked,

"Harinee, what should we name him?"

"How about Sesshoumaru, InuTaisho?" Harinee suggested faintly.

'When I heard my mate reply so faintly, I knew she would need a lot of rest. Hmmm. I think Sesshoumaru sounds nice, but doesn't it mean "Killing Perfection"' InuTaisho thought, and then responded out loud,

Normal POV

"I think Sesshoumaru is an excellent choice, my dear Harinee. But right now, you need your rest to restore your energies." InuTaisho agreed and suggested.

"Alright InuTaisho, dear." Harinee agreed to her mates' suggestion and with that she fell into a restful sleep.

Three years later, across feudal Japan, during the morning at the Eastern Castle, another birth was going on.

Eastern Castle & in normal POV

"Ugh, how much longer must I wait!" the Eastern lord, Kajyote, an elemental shadow inu-neko-youkai, groaned with frustration, while continuously pacing outside the birth room.

((AN: when I say, 'inu-neko-youkai' I mean part dog demon and part cat demon))

When the door to the birth room began to opened, Kajyote had to leap aside to avoid being hit by the door.

Once the door was fully open the head servant, Kisea, a blue female wolf demon, appeared from the door and announced her lord, whilst bowing,

"Milord, she as given birth! Congratulations on two beautiful, healthy twin female children!"

"Arigatou for telling me, Kisea. Though, how is my mate? Is she okay?" Kajyote asked with worry in his voice.

"Fear not, Lady Kinami is all right." Kisea replied with a laugh, and then added to assure her lord, "She will be back on her feet in about a week or so."

"Alright, arigatou, now why don't you and the other servants go eat something, to regain some strength and then come back to take the children to watch later, so that I can have some time with my mate." Kajyote suggested to Kisea.

"Arigatou milord, some of the other servants and I will come back later to care for the children." Kisea replied, poking her head back in to let the servants inside know that they were to come out.

Once all the servants were out, they all left to the dining hall with Kisea trailing behind them.

As Kisea walked to the front entrance of the castle, she heard some footsteps approaching on the outside of the castle and opened the gate slightly and peered out.

And saw a tall figure…

((AN: I should be mean and leave a cliffy here...but because I'm nice:) I'll continue for a bit more))

When she recognized the tall figure, she quickly opened the rested of the gate just as the tall figure had arrived.

Bowing, Kisea spoke,

"Good morning, Lady of the Four Lands of Japan, Arikana-sama. How may I be of service?"

"Good morning to you to, Kisea! How is Lady Kinami of the Eastern Lands? Has she given birth yet?" Arikana replied and then asked Kisea a couple of questions of her own.

"The Lady Kinami has just recently given birth and she is doing fine. We are truly lucky that she is a miko inu-youkai, I believe that is what enables her to recover quicker than most female youkais." Kisea responded.

"Alright that's very good to know, now can you please take me to them?"

"Of course milady, follow me please."

So Kisea welcomed the Lady Arikana into the castle then closed the gates, then brought Arikana to the outside of the delivery room.

Inside the Delivery Room of the Eastern Castle

"Kinami, my dear mate, how are you feeling?" a worried Kajyote asked his mate.

"Kajyote, dear, I am fine. We have twin girls! What shall we name them?" Kinami replied cheerfully, while holding two baby twin daughters.

"Well what can you sense from them? We shall decide their names based upon that!" Kajyote suggested.

"The older one—" Kinami began, but was interrupted by a knock on the door, and then turned to the door and cheerfully said, "Come in!"

The door then slowly opened a little and Kisea's head poked through the crack in the door she had made and apologized before continuing,

"Gomen, please pardon my intrusion Lord Kajyote, Lady Kinami; but the great Lady Arikana has come to see you Lady Kinami."

((gomen means sorry))

"Oh, then allow her to come in then!" Kinami replied instantly, when she heard who was outside.

With that Kisea left the room and Arikana entered a minute later and greeted,

"Sister Kinami, Lord Kajyote, I hope I'm not interrupting. I just want to meet the new sisters!"

"But Arikana-sama, there are just mere infants, how can they be part of the sisterhood of mikos?" Kinami questioned in utter confusion.

"Do not judge your children by their age, Kinami-chan, for they will be the most powerful mikos after me. And as for their names, what have the two of you decided to name them?" Arikana replied.

"We are not yet sure, Arikana-sama, before you came in, we had decided on naming them by what Kinami was able to sense from them." Kajyote responded.

"Here, allow me to sense what comes from them since Kinami-chan should be using her powers to recover her strength rather than waste it by sensing what comes from the children." Arikana suggested.

AN: muwahahahaaaaaaaaaa! A cliffy!

I need feedback! Is it good or bad? Do you like it? What do you think the names of the twin sisters will be?

Oh and before I end off, would you prefer: long chapters, slower updates or short chapters, quicker updates?

Lots of love,

smilin.sister x)
