Prologue
Another cry echoed out from Kaedae's hut and the white haired hanyou outside, cringed at the noise, his white dog ears flattening against his head. His sharp fangs bit down on his bottom lip and his golden eyes flitted towards the hut as another cry came from inside.
5 years ago, the Inu-tachi had persued Naraku to his castle where the final battle occured. They had all fought bravely and as it came to a close, all of them were badly injured. Sango had collapsed alongside of Kilala who had only been exhausted recently and Miroku lay on Sango's other side, teeth clenched, eyes shut tight, as he clutched his hand in pain, having sucked up Naraku's posionous insects to suck the demon army, surrounding them, up. Shippo had fallen unconcious from using so much of his foxfire. That had left Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome had only a few cuts and bruises covering her body and there was a slash across her right leg making it difficult to stand. Inuyasha was worse for wear with cuts, slashes, and bruises covering his body and the hole through his left shoulder. Kanna was lying on the ground a ways away, having somehow been knocked unconcious. Kagura was a distance aways in the tree line, hidden from Naraku's view, clutching her mangled right arm, with her fan still clutched in her hand. Most of Naraku's left side was gone from one of Kagome's purifying arrow and a chunk of his right side. After a few insults had been thrown back and forth and a few failed attempts at attacks, they had finally taken down Naraku with Inuyasha's backlash wave and Kagome's purifying arrow merged as one. Kanna had glowed white and her emotionless eyes had brightened. A red orb had flown from Naraku and into Kagura, giving her the heart she had always longed and she flew away with Kanna on her magic feather. The Inu-tachi had gone back to Kaedae's after Kagome had gathered the rest of the shards and everyone was healed as best as they could, once they reached their destination. The jewell shards had been merged once more to make the sacred jewell and Kagome had stayed while they pondered the wish it would be used for. Miroku had proposed to Sango and to get married as they had promised before Naraku's death. Inuyasha and Kagome had confessed they're feelings and become mates, and after telling Kagome's mother, had a wedding in Kagome's time. They had also adopted Shippo as they're own son.
"Daddy?"
Inuyasha looked down at the little boy in his lap. 3 years ago, they had had Kouda. That had been one of the happiest days of Inuyasha's life, knowing that he finally had a family. Kouda was like a chibi inuyasha except he had raven black hair like Kagome's and his dog ears were white with black tips. His eyes were dark blue like on Inuyasha's human night and he had a navy blue kimono with a necklace of bright blue beads around his neck with yellow stars. So far, as his personality went, he was stubborn like both Inuyasha and Kagome, he could be brave and arrogant like Inuyasha but he could also be kind-hearted and merciful like Kagome.
"Daddy?" he repeated.
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"Is mommy okay?" the boy replied.
"Uh...yeah...she's okay...", said Inuyasha.
"Then, why's she yelling like that?" he asked, worriedly," She sounds like she hurts."
Inuyasha sighed and pulled the little boy close. "Don't worry, Kouda. She's just. . . trying to get your baby sister. This is normal."
Inuyasha cringed as another cry filled the air. Something about "Inuyasha" and "kill."
"Daddy?" asked Kouda.
"What?" asked Inuyasha, getting a bit aggravated with all the questions.
"Where do babies come from?" he asked, innocently.
Inuyasha was silent, unsure how to answer.
Finally, he agreed to go with a snort and the reply," You ask too many questions."
"Don't you know?" asked Kouda.
"Of course, I do", said Inuyasha.
"Then, where do they come from?" he asked again.
Inuyasha blushed and said," I'll tell you when you're older."
"Aw", said Kouda, pouting," You always say that."
"Deal with it", said Inuyasha.
Kouda sighed and leaned back against his father's chest.
Another cry came from the hut and then silence filled the air. Inuyasha held his breath as he listened and let it out when he heard an infant's cry fill the air. Kouda looked at the door to the hut, curiously. Finally, Kaede came out.
"Ye may go in now", she said.
Inuyasha pulled Kouda off his lap and got up. Kouda got up beside him and followed Inuyasha, as he pushed the bamboo mat to the side. Inuyasha walked over the the black haired girl, no, woman,he had made his mate and kneeled down beside her. Her head lifted and light brown eyes looked up at him, glittering, as a tired smile occupied her face. Kouda came over as his mother, and looked at the bundle, that now occupied his mother's arms.
He saw a small baby with a mass of black hair on it's head. A pair of eyes, looking gold at the edges but fading into a deep brown near the middle, looked up at him, curiousity filled in them. A little hand with little claws reached out and grabbed one of his forelocks. Kouda stared at the small infant and noticed that rather than having ears like him or his dad or even his mother, were slightly pointed elven ears, much like that of his Uncle. He reached out his hand and touched it. He was suprised when it gave a little twitch at this. He touched the smooth cheek of the small baby and was given a suprise when his finger was grabbed. Golden brown met night blue.
"What do you think of your imoto(little sister)?" asked Kagome.
Kouda cocked his head to the side and said," She's so little."
"What's her name going to be?" asked Inuyasha.
Kagome said," We'll think of -"
"Takara."
"What?" said Kagome, looking down at Kouda, who's eyes were still fixiated with the small infants.
Kouda shrugged and said," It just popped in my head."
"Takara", said Inuyasha," Treasure. I like it."
"Takara it is", said Kagome.
"Hi", said Kouda," imoto. . . Takara."
A/N: Aw! Don't you just love sibling bonding? Okay! So this chap is just basically telling you what's happened and stuff! This is after they defeat Naraku! As you've guys have probably noticed, I love making stories after Naraku's died because then I don't have to bother with him and stuff and Inu and Kag can finally have kids! I love thinking of how their kids could look! I have tons of pictures with different kinds of kids they could have!I have one photo of them with 12 different kids! Each one unique even if it's just the fact that the twins are only different because of eye or hair color! sigh. Anyways enough blabbering! I need to mention something VERY IMPORTANT! So that you can understand something!
Okay here it is!
This counts for every story i'll ever write and I will always mention this at some point in my stories if needed!
When a human and half-demon produce a pup, they can have 3 results.
1) a quarter demon, like Kiotsu in InuGang: Story after Naraku
2) a half-demon, like Kouda in this story or Nemaru in InuGang: Story after Naraku
3) a three-quarter demon or quarter human like Takara in this story
Their amount of demon blood can be recognized by the types of ears they have. It goes like this.
Human ears is quarter demon
Dog ears is half-demon
Pointy Ears is three-quarter demon or quarter human
Got that? Awesome! I've already got the next chap prepared! Now all I need is reviews! So. . . . Please review! I need at least 2 before I continue!
