Chapter Nine
Disclaimer: Unless my name has changed recently I do not own and never will own Inu Yasha. I only own any OC's in this story.
The tool of a doll had not made it far. Kagome and them had been catching up when there seemed to be movement in the form of something in her bag. She noticed that it was brief stopping and taking her bag off. She looked in and found the egg from the Snakes den. She smiled. Though wishing she had left it to one of the serpent demons in the castle. She pulled it out and set it on the ground. She watched as the little egg shook again. Looking to her companions.
"There is going to be a new life in the group soon. A young child." She said and looked to her mates as well as the two children. Shippo was standing on Inu Taishou's shoulder. Rin was between Miroku and Sesshoumaru. Everyone was watching the egg hatch. As the shell broke they could see a small nose peak out. Kagome held onto both the males hands of her mates. Next bit broke and then a small snake slithered out and looked right to Kagome. She smiled and had a single tear. Digging in her bag for some meat for it. She looked to the males.
"I believe a name is in order for this little serpent." Said Inu Taishou and Sesshoumaru nodded. Though a gender check was needed. He looked to it and grabbed it. Finding the gender quickly.
"The child is male. A powerful name is needed." He said and thought for a moment. "Hebimaru is what we shall call him." Said the current lord and looked to his mate. She smiled and nodded.
"He will never be able to take the throne however he will be powerful none the less." The general said and looked to the others. They nodded and he looked to his mate whom was feeding the infant. After which she held a hand over her stomach and closed her eyes. She was excited to be a mother soon. One of her own blood grew within her.
Shippo hopped to his mother and looked to the snake. Curious and concerned since this was his natural enemy yet one his mother was raising. So it would not be a threat. Plus the two lords would ensure no harm to him or Rin. He was glade to have a brother so soon. Even if a human form was a ways off. He smiled and put a hand down. He let the snake sniff.
"Brother." He said and the snake seemed to understand quite well what he meant. Calling Rin over Kagome knelt down and Rin held her hand out. "Sister." Said the fox and the Snake respond positively again. Both lords let the snake know they where his fathers. Demons and their children knew at an early age it was not uncommon for a woman to have more then one mate. However it was more common the other way around.
As the young snake went to sleep She walked to the spot where the tool was and noticed she was gone. However the males found her scent and followed it to a near by stream. Her scent was stronger and thicker. This was not good. As there was two choices either it was a trap and they were walking in to it. Or she was having some time with her creator. Shippo came up with something this time.
"Why don't we set up one of our own up the road. She will not be able to resist if she is looking for us." He said and the adults were surprised but not hugely. The Fox was smart and more mature for his age. He told them his idea. It was simple but would be effective. Let her find them. No blocks but be prepared. Leak week information that is plausible but not true and then when she has her guard down attack.
Taishou was the first to speak he nodded and agreed with the boys idea. It would be safer on the children and Kohaku was smirking at the idea. Devious and quite ingenious like that of the young kit's race. Shippo was good at setting coy little traps apparently. Having seen the boy attack he knew once trained the fox child would be a force all his own. This was getting the young demon boy quite excited in more then one way. Though being of age himself Shippo was a little ways off.
The group wondered up the road and Rin and Shippo were playing a game of tag through the group. Shippo enjoying the free time. Though soon they would be heading back. Knowing this trip would not be entirely unsuccessful. As the Tool came into view she was surprised to hear all that was going on and notice what was happening. Thinking she was going to be given a great reward she turned and was about to leave. She felt a searing pain in her as she looked and noticed the hand through her. Though Naraku had done this before it was never this much pain. Then she realized it was acid melting her.
"Now that is no way to treat a lady." She said and turned around. "Naraku is brutal in bed so death blows I can Handle." she said and removed the hand and healed the damage though she never noticed her body was missing something till Kagome smiled. She held up the shard and then connected the purified shard to the jewel.
"I guess you won't be needing this then." She said and went to Sesshoumaru. Hiding her mating to the other dog demon. "Inform Naraku he has forced a Hand he should not have for the dogs are now more powerful then before. He will be slain." She said as the group vanished. She smiled as the tool left. Though not fully healed.
Shippo was jumping around happy that he proved he was useful after all. He hugged the mother he had and his fathers. As well as his friends. Kohaku froze when he felt himself get aroused by the fox. He hid his sent and looked away in embarrassment. He knew the kit was not old enough for that. Having had to preform those actions he was well aware of what he felt.
Rin and Miroku
Rin Danced happily as the plan worked and they were safe for now. Though she knew her life was a bit easier for now. She had been training on accessing her powers and meditating for a while and now she was beginning to harness her energy. She was getting the ability to shape and move her energy. Her powers growing as the training went on. She was glade it was the monk though. Her new mommy was strong and powerful but busy. The monk was nice and easy to follow.
She was also informed by her mother in one of her meditation sessions that soon she would be of courting age. In around two years she would be able to be courted and take suitors. Being of noble title now she would be getting a lot. She was not sure she wanted to be married just yet. Her mother told her that unlike most priestesses they would never lose their powers due to having a intimate relation. She was glade for the knowledge though she was not sure whom she would have those relations with. She was certain that whom ever she chose would be scared off by the lords that are her fathers. Since it was likely they would be wanting her to have the best life ever.
Deciding then to settle down. She walked be side the others and then picked flowers slowly. She knew the monk or her parents were never far from her. She was being watched for her own good since she tended to draw trouble. She was hoping with her training she would get rid of that problem. She could also help to protect her family and friends. She was head over heels happiness for right now.
She watched as the group found their grove as they decided to rest. More then that her mother was needing a rest. Though she fought it. She was not far along but the child was part demon and that would effect the timing of the baby coming. Though a miko demon pairing was not normal. Though not unheard of. She had heard stories in the town she used to live in. Rin heard that the pregnancy lasted different each time. She hoped that her sibling would come soon.
Rin had noticed Miroku's more heightened interest and smiled. He was not bad looking and was thinking he was a good uncle. She was hoping some day soon he would find his one. Rin was saddened that he did not have anyone. She made a necklace and handed it to Miroku.
"Here you go Uncle Miroku." She said and smiled her toothy grin and then handed the flower necklace to Miroku. He took the necklace and gently put it on and smiled to the girl.
"Thank you Rin." He said and helped the girl with more of her training. It was a good time. Kagome was making lunch as well as smiling at her Daughter. Rin was working on making a small barrier right now. It was working sort of. More like a Swiss cheese barrier however it was only her first try. The wholes were expected.
He began working on her with the barrier. She was a fast learner and worker her barrier was getting fuller by the second. He was happy to see this. It was while she was concentrating he saw the threat near by. It was an Oni demon and a rather large one staring right at her. He threw a sutra and it landed on the demons nose. He then took a defensive position in front of the young Miko. He watched as the demon was frozen long enough to let him move. He got in front of the girl and held his staff up. The fist came down and would have connected had a barrier not formed.
The color of white Cherry blossoms came around him and the girl and he looked down. Rin was hugging his leg and almost crying. The beast screeched in pain and reeled back. His skin singed and smelling of burning flesh. The monk held his staff up however the other males came and helped. Miroku turned and held the girl.
After the battle was over Sesshoumaru came over and thanked the monk. The demon had been strong and smart enough to hide it's aura. However not it's form. If not for the monk Rin would have been dead.
"Thanks to Rin I live as well. Though the color is unique but fitting. She loves flowers." He said and smiled. She had made a perfect Barrier not strong but would have at least lessened the blow. He would not have died just been hurt.
He hugged Rin and thanked her. She smiled and skipped off. He watched and confessed that no matter what he would protect that girl. He felt the bond just not realizing what that bond was for.
Sesshoumaru
He watched the monk and knew the monk was feeling the pull of destiny. He was not thrilled but understood. Having felt the pull before. He was glade it was someone he knew and not some stupid village boy. He wanted to see all his children be happy not just his blood children his loving mate carried. He looked to his son as well. The son his mate gave him and his father. The Kit that need a better male figure then the Monk and Inu Yasha. He knew what his mother spoke of. He had at one point been wanting to be rid of the boy. Now he wanted the child to truly be his like Rin. Sesshoumaru owed his mate a lot and he could never repay her enough for it. She gave him a pack he would forever be proud of. Minus the damn toad.
Once rested and fed they would head for the old Tree Demon and get some answers. He needed to know when the pup or pups would come. He would keep his whole family and pack Safe at all costs. He watched as Kagome and the females minus Rin spoke animatedly over something. She was laughing and smiling. Looked like they were talking about the pups and the idea of pups. His father spoke to Inu Yasha and Kouga. He was going to help Kouga keep his title so they could be Allies. It would be a big help.
They would Leave when all was ready. He had decided to be the silent guard. He had a feeling it was more then one pup his mate carried. Though one may be his fathers. Though he doubted it. He had a feeling his Father would be pupping her later. He was glade that for now the land was safe. He had his heir on the way and a mate he would leave for no other.
It was after about three minutes Kohaku came over and sat near the lord. He knew he would need to talk to one of them. Sesshoumaru acknowledged the boy so he would speak.
"My lord I have become aware of something as of recently. I believe I have an attraction to your eldest adopted son." He said and looked down. He waited and noticed the lord stiffen. He sighed and continued. "I will make no moves as the Kit is not old enough as of yet. I wanted you to know I will inform my sister and your mate. As well as the kits other father. I wanted you to know." He said and waited for Sesshoumaru to speak.
Sesshoumaru was shocked and caught off guard. Though glade the boy would not be courting the Kit just yet. He was still concerned. The boy was more adult then needed. "How are you so sure of this." He asked and then the boy motioned for the lord to follow him and explained a few things to him. The lord was shocked. He was angered at the spider to do such a thing. However it explained a lot. He then nodded his approval to the boy. Walking back to his spot Sesshoumaru let the information sink in and he did not like what it was telling him.
He watched the group eat and chat. The events playing out made him at ease. After Kagome was done talking to the women she walked to him and leaned on him. As she let sleep claim her. The girls went and spoke to Kouga and Inu Yasha. Talking more as His father came over and sat near him. Both in a Position of protection.
Rin was training with the monk. She was progressing well and was getting better at Barriers. Her Healing was coming along as well. She was going to be a force later. She could heal both Humans and demons. Her family was a group of healers. Though they fought when needed. The Monk was never going to hurt her.
Kohaku and Shippo were talking and Training. It was then that the Kohaku's demon came out. He was a rare breed of demon. It was an Ice Kitsune and Two tailed Ice neko. Similar to Kilala but Ice instead. His aura was strong and his abilities better. Though his aura and beast sort of marked the Kit. Not a true marking only enough to say he was planning it at some point. Shippo returned it though unknowingly. He was surprised as was his father.
After an hour they all started the trek again In the direction of the Tree Demon Bokuseno. He would have the given information for them if it was to be had. He was a wise demon. As the grove came into view Sesshoumaru let his Aura loose for the demon. The tree awoke and looked in shock.
"How can this be? Lord Inu Taishou your alive." Said the tree and the lord smiled. The general knew his comrades and Advisers would be shocked.
"The Kami's will to end the vile beast known as Naraku though that is not why we have come." Said the General. The Tree then noticed Kagome between the two lords. Also the aura of said girl.
"The Human is pregnant With your pup Sesshoumaru? When did you decided to mate a...You both have an interesting twist. I know of what you seek. Though not many have happened and never a Inu Youkai mating to a miko. I have heard of such. Though never to more then one. The period of pregnancy varies from species to Species. Though I can say this. She has a chance of them being Full-demon. They would be immune to her powers and most holy powers." He said and looked to the tree Line as a young Demoness of the feline kind came out.
"I am Naumi I am a Miko demoness. My Father was monk and my mother a Demoness of the Tiger clan. She was the unwanted daughter of a minor lord in the Northern Lands. My Father saved her from being raped. They traveled together for many months and then fell for each other. After birthing and Raising me for a few years my grandfather came and took my mother. Only to Kill her after letting some low class Demons rape her in front of my father. He then Killed her. Father brought me here to protect me. No one disturbs this forest. Bokuseno will not allow such Violence." She said she was no older then Rin in appearance.
Inu Taishou stepped forward and then knelled to the girl Holding his arms out. She ran to him and hugged him. Kagome came over and held them both. She looked to Kagura after pulling away and the Wind Demoness was crying. "I believe you can find a home with us. As we are a growing pack. No harm will be fall any of our pack." she said and looked to the Tree Demon.
"I believe that You should return to the Citadel and rest for in about four months you may be giving birth." Said the wisen Demon. "Your pups you carry and your family will need you at your strongest." He said and sank back into the tree. They agreed and headed for the citadel. Their they could make plans and also prepare for the birth of Kagome's pups.
-Elsewhere-
Naraku had been watching the interaction his new tool had and was furious. He did not see Everyone and though he knew the view was Tampered with he knew not how. He killed a few servants and growled the Tool returned and he vented on her. He was aware it was not a total loss he knew the brothers had teamed up but not that the father was back. He beat the tool for a bit. Punching kicking and all around mauling the girl before she passed out.
He grinned and then told a few guards once she woke to have their way with her. Make it painful and rough. The girl he created would never get pregnant for she had no womb. Sex with it was for nothing more then shear relief. He could take her when ever and she would never get pregnant. He decided he wanted to Watch as the girl was tortured and then enter his mate again. Only this time when she was not wet and expecting it. He risked his child but he cared not.
He decided then that he needed to get Kikyo out asap. Calling for his mate. "Go retrieve Inu Yasha and make sure you don't return with out him." He said and looked to the woman he mated.
-Group-
They had headed out immediately towards the castle when Kikyo's soul stealers came in to view. She landed and looked to the group. "Inu Yasha I see your group is growing. Mind If I join?" She asked and then noticed a deep growl.
"He is not the Alpha Woman." Said Sesshoumaru. He walked forward and peered at her with emotionless eyes. "I am not fooled by your spells. Mate of the enemy. I should kill you here. However I need you. Your mates games grow tiresome. However we can use this one." For once since returning Kikyo was scared for the smile on the Demon lords face made her fear for all she was worth.
Sorry I have been having a scattered story mind and lack of inspiration. I am still writing though. Anyway review please. Also what do you think Sesshoumaru has planned for Kikyo? Just curious.
