Prologue

"Does she have it, yet?"

"It's did she have it yet, and the answer is, no, she hasn't had the baby, yet."

"She needs to hurry."

"I agree, but you really can't rush these things. Besides, why are you so eager to see the child anyway? He'll probably be deformed."

"I'm curious, is all. The fact that the look on Lord InuTaisho's face when he sees first hand just how ugly half-breeds really are will be hilarious, is just icing on the cake."

"Whatever…"

"Quit complaining, you wanted to see the kid, too"

"I'm not complaining, I'm just telling you to be patient."

"You shouldn't tell your elders what to do."

"You're only older than me by like a year and a half, so shut up."

"Why are we here, again?"

"Curiosity, self-interest, and because Ms. Lily told us to be."

"Yeah, right; so, how long do you think it'll take?"

"I don't know. These things take time."

"That sucks."

"DO you know what gender the baby will be?"

"Boy, I think."

"Poor thing; There's no way that he'll compare to his brother."

"Well, then why did Ms. Lily ask us to watch the birthing?"

"Her husband keeps boasting that his second child will be just as great as his first."

"That's impossible; Lord Sesshomaru is a full-demon. His youngest child will be a half-demon. Most half-breeds come out deformed, looking nothing like either of their parents. Even if they do have normal features, they are weak. How could he possibly compare?"

"Our lord is an odd man, but he is usually right, which is in-and-of-itself odd. If he believes it, it may well be true. Which is will definitely upset Ms. Lily."

"No kidding."

"Oh well, I suppose there's nothing we can do about it."

"Yes, indeed. OH! They're taking Lady Izayoi to the birthing room. She's in labor."

"Great, how long will that take?"

"Only the Gods know now."

"Damn, the Gods always get to know the good parts."

"Yes, well, let us hope that they bless her with a quick birthing."

"Quick isn't always painless."

"She drew our Lord away from Ms. Lily. I said 'quick', never did I wish for it to be painless."

"Well, dear sister, it looks like neither you nor Ms. Lily will be pleased by this birthing."
