Melting of the Iron Heart
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the other characters, but I do own Sakura, and Miaera, and any other of the non-original characters I may put in this story.
A/N: I would like to tell you all, the lemon in this chapter was written by my friend. I have no idea what hall can happen in a hot spring, so Kat is writing it for me. Yes she said I can say her name! I would also like to say thank you to the person who gave me my first review, for my first story: Chrysolite Heart. Digital cookies for you!!!! And I believe some added me to their favorites list for this story, or the other, I don't remember. But my computer messed up, and I never got the name, but thanks to you both!!!!
On with the story!!!
"No, I'm not. I refuse to believe that I smell funny because of that. Besides, it's far too soon for something to pop up to say that I am. I mean, don't it take, like, a month or so before the test says anything?" Miaera said disbelieving as she turned from Kagome.
"I know, it's really weird, but demons are faster than humans. I mean, just 10 minutes after me and Inuyasha…you know… my scent changed. It really is possible, no you really are-" Kagome said, being cut off by Miaera when she turned rapidly and knocked Kagome off her balance. However, she recovered quickly.
"Don't say it, don't say it!! I. Am. Not. Pregnant!! The only way that I could get pregnant is if we are both in heat, and I don't think he is! Wait, what? Oh, goodness, are you pregnant???" Miaera asked, dropping her losing subject.
Kagome smiled, "Yeah, and we are both excited! The only down side of it is that Inuyasha keeps trying to get me to take it easy, then he gets mad when I don't. I had to wrestle him to get my bow and arrows, and he didn't even put up a good fight! After I got tired of trying to get him to wrestle right, I just told him I wouldn't kiss him till he gave them back and got off of his Trojan horse. He didn't know what a Trojan was." Kagome said, laughing. Miaera began to laugh as well.
"Obviously, neither of the Inu no Taisho sons do, or else we wouldn't be pregnant." Miaera said, finally accepting it. Kagome laughed at her sister's joke, knowing better than to gape that she was now agreeing the she is pregnant. Kagome pulled her sister into a huge hug. Miaera smiled as the girls walked back, knowing that she would be the first, and better be only, to bear Sesshomaru's son. Well, hopefully it is a boy, he needs an heir, but she thought a girl would be just as good. They could work on a boy later if it was a girl, so either way it would be okay.
With Sesshomaru and Inuyasha:
"Miaera. Pregnant. Wow, I'll bet that will convince her father to allow her to become my mate instead of Sakura." Inuyasha nodded along with his brother's words. The two had sat down by each other, shock of Miaera's condition getting them to get along.
"Yeah-wait, you have two girls that could become your mate? Whoa, that's different; I only got Kagome, well… I could have gotten Kikyo too, but she's dead, and couldn't bear me a kid. Hey, why is it that Kagome's pup scent is so much stronger than Miaera's, even though they are only about a week or a week and a half apart?" Inuyasha asked, feeling stupid at the look his brother was giving him.
"Baka, you haven't realized it? In Kagome there's more than one pup!" Sesshomaru said, stating the should-be obvious. Inuyasha stared into the fire that they had been feeding while the girls were gone talking. He sighed. "What's wrong Inuyasha? Scared of a little pup?"
"No."
"Then, what's wrong?"
"Umm, well it might sound stupid, but I'm scared of the one carrying the pup when she goes through one of her spell that she wants to go home. Nothing will get in her way about that time, no matter who is standing in front of her. I guarantee that if Naraku appeared in front of her when she's going through one, we wouldn't have to worry about him any longer, she'd purify him to hell and back!" Inuyasha said, both laughing at the mental image.
"They both really need to get home for a bit, don't they?" Sesshomaru asked.
"If you want to kill me yourself, not by the hands of her, then yeah." Inuyasha said with a smile, turning from the fire. "I'm going to go see if there is a hot spring near here for the girls. They'd enjoy that, and it might give me points with Kagome." Sesshomaru watched as he disappeared, and waited for the girls to return.
When they did return, they were both far too awake to get to sleep, and begged Sesshomaru to allow them to go for a walk. No matter how many times that he said no, they just begged and begged, till they got a reason that suited them perfectly why they couldn't go. He had told them that Inuyasha was looking for a hot spring, and if they were walking and he came back with news of one, and they weren't here, the guys wouldn't take them, or join them later. The girls accepted this reason, hoping he would find one, just so they have a few pleasures when the guys joined them.
Miaera and Kagome waited for Inuyasha to bring news of the hot spring they hoped was there, and when he did, both jumped after them. Kagome stopped the guys as they were about to follow them there. "We will yell when its time for you guys to come. Miaera can protect us both, I bet."
Sesshomaru shook his head, and Kagome pouted. She asked him why. "1: she will be a bit nude and if a demon attacks, she will be too conscious of that, and not be able to protect you both. 2: the carrier of my child will not be endangered, but because it is my child, demons will be coming after her and it if any demon heard you two talking. 3: We will be bathing with you." Kagome eyed him suspiciously.
"No, no, no! I am not bathing with you near by, you are not my mate. I will not allow you to see me that way."
"Kagome, cool it. He's not going to be looking at you, at least he better not be, if he wants to make anymore pups."
Sesshomaru eyes Miaera as she said this. "Alright, but if you did do that, you would suffer longer than I." they all laughed, except Sesshomaru, who doesn't laugh unless it is the funniest think on earth A/N: like Brian Regan!!! Love him!!!. "Besides, Miaera can put boulders in the water to separate us all." They all liked the plan, so they went Inuyasha leading, holding Kagome's hand. Sesshomaru and Miaera noted this, and followed suit. Soon, however, Sesshomaru released her hand and put it, instead, around her waist, and pulling her closer, both eventually stopping.
Miaera turned to face him, and wrapped her arms around his neck as he bent his neck to kiss her. She kissed him back, feeling him pull her closer, then picking her up and following the other two.
"What the-? Put me down Sesshomaru! I demand to walk!" Miaera screamed, her yells falling on unlistening ears. She gave up as she saw the hot spring, and laid her head on his shoulder, and whispering to him. "Sesshomaru, I'm sooo glad it's me, sooo glad it's me, not Sakura."
He nodded, holding her tighter, closer. He sat her down as they came to a stop so she could separate the parts with boulders.
"Hey, Miaera, you don't have to use your powers for this, look there-" Kagome pointed, "It separated naturally, you two pick first." they did, then the girls undressed, the guys hiding their eyes, out of respect for the other's lover, then it was their turn. Sesshomaru walked to the area that Miaera had chosen, and slid. Slowly, into the water, looking for her.
He smiled as he seen her emerge from under the water, about 4 feet away. Pulling his hair down with him so as to not give himself away, he slid under the water, creeping up behind her. Sensing this, Miaera smiled, and ducked under the water to pull him from the edge, into the deeper part of the hot spring. He took the bait, and followed her there, neither needing to emerge from the water a lot because of their being a demon.
When they did emerge, they were together in a kiss, Sesshomaru pulling them back to the shallow area. Giggling, Miaera followed him, and sat beside him on the underwater rock, that left a small amount of their shoulders and above over the water. Miaera stared into his golden eyes, and he stared into her now green eyes. Automatically remembering what she had said earlier about when her eyes turn green, his turned red, and pulled her into his lap, face facing his, and she wrapped her legs around his back.
Bending his neck to kiss her, he pulled her closer, 'accidentally' having her feel what it was doing to him, and her giggling began to subside as she looked into his serous eyes. "Miaera, do you think we need to go back to the cave?"
She smiled, then made a joking pout, "But, we are so comfortable here, why move?"
"They will hear us, for I plan to make you scream." Sesshomaru said, pulling her closer. "However, they do not seem too worried about us hearing them, though, do they?" Miaera shook her head. "Then, let's return the favor, and show them what happens when you do it right." Miaera's giggling began, but only stayed for a bit, as she was pressed onto him, feeling him slide into her again. She moaned, pulling him closer as he began to pull her into the deeper water by the rocks so he could stand without them being discovered.
"This deep enough, Miaera?"
"I think… you could… go a little…deeper in me." Miaera said between kisses and moans. "Oh, you meant the water? Yeah, that's deep enough." Sesshomaru smiled at her obviously intended mess up. He pressed his hips into hers, and her back ended up against the rock wall. The rock stood tall and firm behind her, so they paid it no mind.
"Wait, Miaera, I have an idea." With that, he slid out of her, and under the water, pulling her with him. She breathed in a large gulp of air, and went under. She came face to face with Sesshomaru, and they began to kiss under water. They assumed the same position that they previously had, but under the water this time. Needing air again, the swam up, still holding each other.
"Um, Sesshomaru, will this hurt the pup?"
"No."
"OK then, back to the rock we go." She pulled him back to the rock they had previously been at, and wrapped her legs around him again. "I really don't want to lose time coming up for air every 5 minutes." He nodding, feeling the same way, and entered the water again, this time not pulling her. Thinking he was mad at her, she began to go under as well when she felt something sliding in her, unsure of what it was, so she put her head in the water to find out. Smiling at Sesshomaru as he was being caught in the act, she guided him over her body. His mouth reached her breasts next, making her moan even louder than she already was.
Sesshomaru resurfaced, and began kissing her again, sliding right back into her. Miaera moaned louder and louder as he pushed harder and harder, both were gasping for breath when they stopped kissing for air, or a moan. The harder he pushed, the closer she came to screaming like he said he would make her do. When she did scream, her beast howled with pleasure, as did Sesshomaru's. A/N: everyone thank Kat for the lemon, I don't think I could have done a better job!
"I knew I could make you scream, I knew it. I don't believe that you did that in the cave."
"No, I didn't."
He resumed the kissing, and the pushing, trying to go for another scream. Unable to take any more of it all, an hour and a half later they pulled apart. He put her in his arms, carrying her bridal style back up to their clothes. Discovering Inuyasha's and Kagome's gone; they assumed they were back at camp. Dressing, they never took their eyes off each other. Going back, Sesshomaru carrying Miaera, he pulled her as close as he could possibly get without squishing her. He stopped on the outside of camp, and put her down, holding her hand so she didn't continue either. She asked what was wrong.
"Miaera, you are the Lord of the Eastern land's daughter, so it shouldn't matter which one I make my mate, should it?"
"No, it shouldn't."
"Then, I would like for you to become my mate. If you agree, then expose your neck, for I must give you a mating mark. If you disagree, then just walk away." Miaera kissed him, and then exposed her neck to him. "Other side." She nodded, and exposed the left side of her neck. "This is going to hurt a bit, but it will be worth it in the long run, okay?" Miaera nodded, and stiffened as she felt his teeth in her neck, biting her. She mouthed an 'ouch' and was okay again as his teeth came back out.
He then kissed the mating mark, and kissed her. "Tomorrow, you and Kagome will go home and get whatever supplies you need, alright?" she nodded. "Do you wish for me to accompany you?" she nodded. "Can you take everyone at once and not get too tired?" she hesitated, thinking, then nodded. "Alright, Inuyasha will come most likely, can you handle that, or do you need him to stay here?"
"I will need him to stay here, I can take 3 people at once, but I get tired to where I can't use my powers till I get my energy back. My powers have not gotten strong enough for that yet." Now, it was Sesshomaru's turn to nod. Then said he would explain it to Inuyasha. Miaera nodded, and hugged her mate.
Walking into camp, they discovered an Inuyasha and a Kagome in Miaera's bed and an almost dead fire. Miaera sighed, wondering where she was going to sleep now. She watched as Sesshomaru pulled back a blanket on his bed he made and laid down in it. Miaera gazed up in the tree she knew her real sister was in, and back down at the ground, wondering whether or not she could climb the tree and sleep there, too.
"Come, you are not sleeping anywhere other than your mate's arms." They both smiled at the sound, for it sounded so right, like it was meant to be. Miaera began to walk over to him, but stopped abruptly as he face and hand felt like it was on fire. She whimpered and rubbed her face with the hand that wasn't burning. On her knees, she looked in a puddle one of the hot spring goers left, and seen a half moon on her forehead, and black stripes on her cheeks.
Not sure why the stripes were black, when Sesshomaru's were purple-ish, she looked at him, then the back of her left hand. There, beneath her watch, was a shooting star. Miaera looked back at Sesshomaru, eyes full of wonder.
"That makes you officially my mate, and off limits to other demons. Come and lay down, you will need your rest, mate." Sesshomaru said, motioning to her. She did as she was told, and laid down beside him. She felt his arm go protectively around her waist and under her head, by her neck. Miaera snuggled up close to him, and he kissed her, pulling her even closer. She laid her head on his chest, noticing how right it felt to her, and fell asleep.
She was woken the next morning by Rin staring at her and Sesshomaru. She had been poking both Miaera and Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru had jumped in his sleep each time, rousing Miaera. "Rin, no, let him sleep. He is exhausted, I bet."
"Why?"
"Because, I-um, I gave him my big news!"
"What news?" Miaera was beginning to get irritated with the million questions.
"That I love him, and then that I'm pregnant!" Rin giggled and then oohed, and ahh-ed at that, then ran to wake up Jaken and tell him.
The freaky toad-imp thing was not pleased at the news, and said that only Sesshomaru's mate would get pregnant by him, and that Miaera was not her. Miaera shocked everyone in the camp when she pulled back her hair and displayed the mating mark, then the half moon on her forehead. Standing, she was blown back again by a strong wind, and Sesshomaru was up in seconds.
"Kagura!" Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sesshomaru said, at the exact same time.
"Relax; I'm not here to attack you, Sesshomaru! I just came here to see if the rumor of you having sex with another demon and making her your mate was true. Oh, there's the sign, so you did! Now, now, the boss will want to know this, won't he? I don't think he will believe me, though, so I'll just have to bring physical proof!" Kagura swooped down and grabbed Miaera's collar of her kimono, pulling her up onto her flying feather. She flew away before anyone had time to do anything.
"Let me go, or suffer the pain your master did the day he came after Rin at Sesshomaru's palace." Miaera said, threateningly. Kagura looked back in shock.
"YOU did that to Naraku? A mere female half-demon?" Miaera nodded.
Kagura stopped the flying feather, and turned to her. "How?"
"I'm more powerful than I look. I didn't use my death song technique on him, or else he would be dead. But I just couldn't kill him, or else my family line would be messed up. He's my uncle in the future." Miaera responded, and then was rewarded with a slap across the cheek.
"Naraku will die, but wait… am I still alive in that future of yours?" Kagura said. Miaera thought for a moment, trying to remember where she had heard that name before. She nodded.
"You are my cousin, along with Kana, and a boy named Hakudoshi. All of you are my cousins, along with some others, but you guys are from Uncle Naraku's previous marriage, so all together, there are cousins from Naraku. You are married, and you have children of your own. They are adorable, and I watch them every now and then." Miaera was hypnotizing Kagura with this talk.
If I'm married in her future, then that means I'm free, doesn't it? But when will I be free? When? Kagura thought. She sighed, and continued the trip to Naraku's palace, with her hand over Miaera's mouth to keep her from doing that unknown attack she had performed on Naraku. Growling, Miaera held her hands on Kagura's feather, and her back. Murmuring an unknown thing behind Kagura's hand, she burned both Kagura and her feather, causing them both began to fall to the ground. Miaera cast up two separate barriers, that she was taught how to do by Uncle Naraku, around her and Kagura to lessen the impact of the ground.
They landed on their feet when the barriers touched ground. Kagura gasped at how powerful the supposed half demon was, and how she knew how to make a barrier just like Naraku's.
"I am not willing to go anywhere that I was not asked if I wanted to go, and where I said yes! Uncle was always getting onto you for that, every time you took me home to your place and I didn't want to watch the kids so you could go bar hopping! I didn't like it then, and I really don't like it now! Ugh!" Miaera said as she stormed off in the direction she sensed Ah-Un and the others. Wondering why Kagura wasn't following her, she turned. Kagura was holding a bleeding burn that wasn't getting any better with her demon blood trying to heal it. She walked back to the wounded demon. "Yeah, you never liked it when I did that to get away from you."
Miaera healed her, and began to walk away, but was turned abruptly by Kagura grasping her arm. "Why help me, why save me? I did nothing but kidnap you and attempt to take you to Naraku!" Miaera shook her head, and mumbled something about her being used to healing her, and that they were family, and family fights ever so often. Kagura nodded, understanding nothing, but agreeing.
Miaera walked off again, and when she sensed his presence and not Kagura's any longer, she whistled for Ah-Un. He was there before she even got done whistling, and she climbed onto his back and he went slower than he had come getting her back to Sesshomaru. Tired from using up so much energy and power, she passed out on the dragon-thingy's back.
