Chapter 7: The Demon Slayer, the Monk and the Little Fox Demon.
Once Serena had calmed down enough, she called her friends. Sesshomaru was in the next room listening to the conversation.
"Don't worry guys. I'll explain everything when you get down here. Just...don't scream to loudly Shinpo when you see me...Yeah well kinda...I did not!...But i did get married...Uh huh...yeah. He's totally hot...No you can't have him Shima! He's mine...Masa get that idea out of you head right now you pervert!...Okay...Yeah i'll see you in a few...Bye." Serena hung up the phone and sighed. "They'll be here in a few hours. Possibly tonight." She said to Sesshomaru as she left the room.
"So is Shinpo a fox demon like Shippo?" Sesshomaru asked her as he followed her back to their room.
"Not really. But he sure does act like Shippo. Shima's family are decendents of demon slayers and fights with the same boomerang that Sango has. And Masamura, or Masa as i call him, is DEFFINATLY decended from Miroku. He's always groping Shima's butt."
"Is there a Kilala?"
"Kinda. Shima does own a rare white panther that she named Kilala. She found the poor thing all alone in the jungle as a kitten and has been taking care of it ever since. Took a lot of convencing for her parents to let her keep the poor little thing."
Sesshomaru nodded as they went up the stairwell to the attic. Serena went over to Yuki who had fallen asleep in the fluff.
"And you?" Sesshomaru came up behind her and held her in a gentle hug. "Who are you in the Modern day Inu gang?"
Serena smiled and leaned into his embrais. "Me? I'm basically Inuyasha and Kagome combined. I'm strong, determined, and stubborn like Inuyasha yet gentle, and kind like my sister. I also fight the same way only i'm not as reckless as Inuyasha is."
"And brave." Sesshomaru whispered into her ear.
Serena shivered at his voice. "I hate it when you do that. Make me agree to anything." She said as she looked up at him.
"But isn't that why you love me?" He said as he kissed the mark on her neck.
Serena shivered again and turned around in his arms. "Exactly." She then kissed him lovingly and passionately on his lips
Sesshomaru moaned a bit and kissed her back with the same love and passion. He then picked her up and carried her over to the bed. They both flopped on the bed and continued to kiss each other.
Inuyasha was outside in the Scared Tree. He just wanted to get some fresh air to think. But mostly to get away from Sesshomaru and Serena makeing out in the attic.
Maybe Serena is right. He thought as he looked at Kagome's bedroom window. Maybe I should tell Kagome how I feel about her. Tetsusaiga only works when I'm trying to protect her. And since I got the Tetsusaiga, my feelings toward her have gotten stronger. I love her more then I ever loved Kikyo.
It wouldn't hurt if you did. Said a unknown voice in his head.
Huh? Who said that?
It's your full demon side you moron. And i'm saying that you should mate with Kagome. Everyone knows how much you love her.
MATE? Are you kidding?!
Nope.
Shut up! I'll tell her when I'm ready too tell her. He then blocked his mind so that he didn't have to listen to his darker side anymore.
Inuyasha stayed up in the tree until he fell asleep. He woke up around midnight when he heard a car pull into the driveway below the shirne.
What was that? He hoped out of the scared tree and over to a tree that overlooked the ground below the stairs. He saw a pick up in the driveway and three people getting out of it. One of the scents he picked up smelled strongly of insense and sandlewood.
Whoever that is smells like Miroku after he goes and prays at some grave. He thought as he watched the three humans climb the stairs to the shrine.
"This is the place alright." Said the girl that was in the group. She was holding a leash that held back a large white cat.
"Yep. Big, dull, and boring. Just like she said it would be." Said the man that smelled like insence.
"I wonder why she said for us not to scream when we saw her?" said the teenage boy that was with them.
"We'll see when we get up there." Said the girl.
Inuyasha watched them carefully as they stepped onto the grounds. The man that smelled like insense then froze where he was. "I sense a demonic aura."
"Really?" Asked the boy.
"Yes. But it feels like a half demon."
Dang. He's good. Inuyasha thought as he watch the man.
"There are also two full blooded demons inside the house."
"What? Serena must be in trouble!"
"Yes. But first..." The man took out a sutra and started mumbling something.
Inuyasha just as close as he could without being seen. As soon as he moved, the sutra flew up into the air and shot streight toward him.
"HOLY SHIT!!!" Inuyasha jumped out of the tree. He jumped high into the air and missed the sutra that was aiming for him. "Nice try monk but you have to do better then that!"
"So you're the half demon!" The girl said as she stared at Inuyasha.
"Yeah. So what of it?" Inuyasha as he landed softly on the ground.
"Inuyasha! Enough! Those are my friends!" Serena said as she came out of the house.
"But that guy attack me first!" He said as he pointed at the monk.
Serena looked over at her friends. "Masa? Must your attack everyone with those sutras?"
"Yes I must. It's how i do my job...Is your hair white?" Masa asked as he pointed at her.
"Ummmm..." Serena looked nervous were she stood.
"And that i can sense a demonic aura coming from you and another one in the house?" the girl said as she stared at Serena.
"If you do anything to hurt Sesshomaru I'll never speak to you again!"
"Someone talking about me?" Sesshomaru said as he came out of the house.
"This place is over run with demons!" Said the boy as he clung to the girl.
"Will you guys just calm down! My ears are starting to hurt from all this yelling." Serena said as she rubbed her pointed demon ears.
"Sorry." The boy calmed down and all three stared at Serena.
"But why do you look like a demon?" Asked the girl.
"Serena! Who are these people?" Inuyasha barked as he pointed at the group.
Serena sighed. "Inuyasha. These are my friends. Masamura, Shima, and Shinpo." She said as she pointed at her friends. "And guys this is Inuyasha. My sisters boyfriend."
"AM NOT!!!" yelled the half demon.
"Well you sure do act like it Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said as he smirked at his half brother. He then turned around and went back into the house.
Inuyasha just growled and jumped back into the trees.
"Don't mind him. He's just upset that he didn't get to destroy Naruki." Serena said as she invited her friends into the house.
"Naruki? He was here?" Shima asked as he followed her friend.
"His scent is all over the place. Makes me sick." She growled as she entered her home.
"His scent?" Shinpo asked as they went to the living room.
Serena sat on the couch and sighed. "Yeah. I'm a full blooded dog demon now. My hearing and sence of smell are as powerful as any dog. Plus i have powers as well because of the demon part of me."
"But how did all this happen?" Masa asked as he sat on a chair.
Serena sighed again. "Well see, when i came here a few months ago i found this jewel that was forged with the blood of two dog demons. Namely, Inuyasha's father and Sesshomaru's blood. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father, Inutaisho, Was going to give the jewel to his human wife, Izayoi, Inuyasha's mother. But he never got the chance."
"Why not?" Shinpo was sitting on the floor in front of Serena.
"He died trying to protect Izayoi." Serena said with a sad look on her face. "The jewel was going to make Izayoi a full blooded demon so she would be able to protect herself and Inuyasha. But Myoga and Totosai found it and gave it to a friend of their father's. The jewel somehow found itself to me and gave me it's powers."
"And that's how you became a demon?" Shima asked as she stroked the white panther that was beside her.
"Yeah basically. Plus there was this journey we had to do and destroy a demon named Naraku so everyone in the feudal era could live in peace and..."
"What's that mark on your neck?" Masa asked as he pointed to a spot on his neck to show her what he was talking about.
Serena blushed as she placed a hand on her mark. "Well see...You saw Sesshomaru right?"
"Yeah i did. He's a total hottie." Shima asked as she smiled.
"Well you can't have him because he's my mate."
"Mate?" Everyone was confused by what she said.
Serena blushed even more. "In demon terms...it means that Sesshomaru is...uhhhh...my husband."
Everyone was stunned for a moment until they heard a baby crying. Sesshomaru came in a moment later with Yuki in his arms. "I think she wants her mother." He said as he went over to her.
"Serena?" Masa asked as he looked at the infent. "Who is that?"
Serena just smiled. "This is my daughter, Yukimaru. But we call her Yuki for short."
"Your daughter?!!!" Shima yelled as she fell out of her seat. "You mean you and Sesshomaru had...SEX?!!!!"
"Technically, it's called mating but yes." Sesshomaru was acting as if it wasn't a big deal at all.
Serena was blushing bright red and giggling.
Shima was still in shock. "But she's only 28 years old!"
"What are you? My mom?" Serena said as she looked at Shima. "And i'm 29 Shima. My birthday was three months ago."
"Yeah but...wait a second? Three months ago?" Shima was now confused. "You should still be pregnant Serena. Or at least beginning to show that you were pregnant."
"Dog demon pregnancies last about two and a half months like a regular dog. But Yuki just wanted to be inside me a little longer." Serena said as she storked her daughter's hair.
Shima just nodded as if she understood.
"Well if Naruki is after you, there's the possiblity that he might come after Yukimaru to get to you. Or even Sesshomaru for that matter. I will gladly help to protect your family Lady Inuyasha." Masa said as he nodded his head at his friend.
"Lady Inuyasha????" Inuyasha said as he came into the house and looked at Serena.
"What? It's my old nickname." Serena was red with embaressment.
"Alright. That's enough." Mom said as she came into the room. "Yuki needs her sleep so all of your need to go to bed right now."
Serena and Sesshomaru sighed and got up. Shinpo was ordered to sleep in Souta's room. Shima and Masa went to the guest room. Shima's white panther, Kilala, followed her master to the room they were to stay in. Inuyasha went to Kagome's room and slept on the floor.
Serena placed Yuki on the fluffy bed and then went to bed herself, curling up close to Sesshomaru, who had just fallen asleep.
