Author's Note: Sorry this took longer than I intended. I broke my left wrist. Typing with one hand is a little difficult, let me tell you.

Kyoya means "capital." I have noticed that most characters named Kyoya are usually sons of rich men and/or political men. I vaguely recall from one manga that a father gave his son that name because he, the father, thought that the son would one day be the greatest man that ever lived. And so Kyoya, son of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, I imagine, would one day become the greatest man that ever lived, much like his Papa, aloof but really just a softy at heart.

Megumi means "blessing." I was tempted to name her something along the lines of "Tsuki" which means "moon," but I figured Inuyasha and Sesshomaru would want something a little more sophisticated. I imagine she'd be more like her Daddy, smartass with a deadly edge, and more than a match for any man.

Anniversary

Sango and Rin were hovering over the infant in her crib. Inuyasha was resting on the bed, watching the women with a smile. Sango smiled over her shoulder at him, "She's beautiful, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha was smiling, tired. "Yeah, I know." He was still recovering from the birth, which had been about a week ago. It had been harder than Kyoya's, mainly because Megumi had come a few weeks early.

Rin was holding her finger down for the little one to grab. "I can't believe I have a sister!"

Megumi looked up at her with her golden eyes. She had a crescent moon on her forehead, just like her Papa and her brother, but she had her Daddy's jagged lines across her cheeks. She had her Papa's pointed ears, which were no less cute than Kyoya's furry ones. And of course there was the tuff of silver hair on her head.

Sango looked over at Inuyasha, "It's interesting that you're children have genders. Most demons and half-demons don't."

"Yeah, the healer said something about my body being mostly human made that happen." Inuyasha looked at the door, as if checking to make sure it was safe. "Hey, Sango, you ever seen a golden dagger?"

Sango gave him a confused look, "Do I want to?"

"You pervert!" Inuyasha, brought out a dagger, its hilt covered in gold. When Inuyasha unsheathed the blade, there was a golden dog demon embedded along the side. "I got it as a present for Sesshomaru.'

Sango looked at it with awe, "I've never seen such a finely made blade."

"Yeah, don't tell that to Totosai." His ears twitched, and he suddenly scrambled to hide the gift. "Quick! Hide it!"

Sango ran over to the closet, opening the door. Inuyasha tossed it at her. She caught it, wrapped it in a random shirt, and hid it in the depths. She managed to close the closet just as Sesshomaru opened the bedroom door.

Inuyasha smiled up at his mate, "Hey! What's up?"

Sesshomaru quirked a brow. "The sky. How are you?"

"Fine, just tired. No pain or nothin'." Inuyasha sat up all the way. Megumi was starting to fuss. "I think she's hungry again. Rin, can ya-?"

"Of course." Rin gently lifted the baby girl and handed her to Inuyasha. The half-demon took his baby, bit his finger, and let her drink his blood. Sesshomaru watched with a smile, while Sango and Rin looked a little sick.

Sango shook her head, "Sometimes I just forget how utterly different demons and humans are." She moved away from the closet, flinching when she heard a small 'thunk.' Sesshomaru looked at her with suspicion, but Inuyasha got his attention back.

Inuyasha said, "Eh, milk or blood, it's just a body fluid." He looked at the two women, "Where is my other kid? Last I heard you gave him over to Kohaku."

Sesshomaru looked over at Rin, "Where is…that boy of yours?"

Rin smiled, "Kohaku is with Little Kyoya and Monk Miroku, my lord. They are playing with Lady Sango's children."

Inuyasha glared at his mate, "Will you ever quit messin' with Kohaku? They're married, get over it."

Sesshomaru glared right back, "He is not worthy."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and let it go. Rin giggled, "I'll go see if they need any help." She gave the demon lord a peck on his cheek, "Goodnight my lord."

The demon nodded his head, "Goodnight, Rin."

Sango followed after Rin waving goodbye. Inuyasha smiled at her as she left. Megumi stopped feeding, so Inuyasha gently put her on his shoulder to let her burp. Sesshomaru sat down beside his mate and daughter, smiling at them softly.

Megumi belched, and Sesshomaru had this eerie feeling of déjà vu. He looked at Inuyasha, and then to Megumi, and shook his head. "May I?" he held out his hands.

"Well, duh." Inuyasha gently handed Megumi to him.

Their daughter looked at her sire with a perplexed expression. Sesshomaru gently nuzzled her cheek, growling low and soft. Megumi tried to make the same sound back, but she only gurgled a little. Sesshomaru chuckled, appreciating the effort.

Megumi didn't appreciate the chuckle, and tugged on her sire's hair. The demon froze, unbelieving. Inuyasha burst up laughing and couldn't stop, "Kid showed you!"

Megumi tugged again, making her version of growl again. Sesshomaru, putting on his best apathetic face, told her, "Let go, Megumi."

Inuyasha stopped laughing, and looked at his daughter to see how she would react. He was surprised when she did in fact let go. Sesshomaru gently kissed her small hand as a reward, "My brave little girl." Megumi put her hand on his cheek, gurgling in happiness.

Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard his son running down the hall. Sesshomaru handed Megumi back. "I promised him we would play before bedtime," the demon lord explained.

Kyoya shot over to the bed. Sesshomaru smiled at him, "Hello pup." Kyoya pounced on his Papa. Sesshomaru in turn growled and gently tackled his pup to the bed. Kyoya squealed, "Ah! Daddy help!"

"You started it, you finish it." Inuyasha stood at the side of the bed, Megumi in hand. Sesshomaru had Kyoya pinned to the bed. The demon nipped his boy's ears. Kyoya growled, and started to transform.

"Nuh-uh! No!" Inuyasha pointed to the balcony, "If you two wanna get big, you go outside! We are not remaking the house all over again!"

Kyoya got out from beneath his Papa, let his energy swirl around him, and bounded outside. Sesshomaru followed right after him, growling with playfulness. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Megumi was yawning in his arms as he headed over to the balcony to watch.

His son was transformed into essentially a huge puppy. Sesshomaru had turned into his true form. Kyoya was barely a fraction of his father's size, but he still tried to pounce at him. Sesshomaru dodged, barking at his child. Inuyasha kept an eye on the sky, watching the time.

Kyoya yipped, his tail wagging a mile a minute. Sesshomaru wuffed at his son, amused by the display. The demon remembered playing with his sire like this, and he was glad he could do the same with his pup.

Inuyasha loved watching them play. He heard a voice in the castle squeal, "They're so cute!" He turned to see Sango gushing over his mate and pup a level below and over. "Oh Miroku, look! It's adorable!"

The monk joined her at the window, "Indeed, they are a sight."

Inuyasha smiled, turning back to watch. His pup was now rolling around on the ground, waiting for his father to pounce. Sesshomaru didn't disappoint. He bounded towards his boy. Kyoya ran in the opposite direction. They chased each other back and forth for awhile.

Inuyasha looked up at the sky, noting the time. "Hey! Time for bed you two!"

Sesshomaru barked in response. Kyoya tried to run again, but Sesshomaru got him by the nape of his neck. He carried his pup to the palace, growling gently. Kyoya didn't like to be carried by his nape, so Sesshomaru tried to comfort his whining pup. They both transformed and got back to the room.

Sesshomaru picked up their yawning pup, holding him close. Inuyasha put Megumi into her crib while Sesshomaru put Kyoya to bed. Megumi went to sleep pretty quickly. Inuyasha heard Kyoya wishing his Papa goodnight.

Sesshomaru walked in. His gaze fell on his mate, shining with warmth. Inuyasha smirked, "Pleased with yourself?"

The demon lord smirked back, "And with you, my mate."

They walked over to the bed, each on one side. Inuyasha tilted his head up, "Really? Am I supposed to be flattered?"

Sesshomaru shed his shirt, throwing it to the floor. "You should, yes." He locked eyes with his mate, looking into orbs of gold so similar to his own. "I don't often give compliments, little brother."

"True." The half demon took off his robe, displaying his bare body to the mate. "But I don't know if I should be…pleasing you."

"Oh?" Sesshomaru's fur snaked out, grabbing Inuyasha around his waist.

"Hey!" Inuyasha growled out, "No fair!"

The fur wrapped around his entire body. Inuyasha moaned, "Sessho-! Ah!" The fur caressed his shaft, catching him by surprise.

Sesshomaru smirked, "You seem to enjoy it." He crossed his arms, letting his fur do most of the work for him. Inuyasha was sensitive to it, and soon he was a moaning mess on the bed. The more he struggled, the more his ass, cock, and chest were tortured by the fur.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha pleaded, desperately wanting his mate.

The demon shook his head, "It is still too early to take you again." Inuyasha's glare told him what his brother thought about that. Sesshomaru crawled onto the bed, letting the fur slide off his mate. "But that doesn't mean I'll let you suffer."

Inuyasha felt the demon's hands wrap around his waist, gently flipping him onto his back. Sesshomaru knelt between the half-demon's legs, "So excited." His breath swept across the erection, making Inuyasha buck up his hips.

Sesshomaru gave no warning before he enveloped his mate's cock. Inuyasha cried out. Sesshomaru gave no mercy, repeatedly sucking, licking, and oh god! A fang brushed his shaft, reminding him of the danger. It was thrilling, it was mind-blowing, oh!

Inuyasha came into his mate's hot, wet mouth. Sesshomaru gulped the load with a starving man's fervor. Gently, Sesshomaru released the limp member. He looked up at his mate's sated state, smiling at him all the while. The demon's erection began to throb painfully, but he ignored it.

Inuyasha looked at him with glazed eyes, "What about you?"

Sesshomaru shook his head, "Just rest. I'll be fine." He got up from the bed, "I need to take a bath. I will return shortly."

"Uh huh, bath sure." Inuyasha mumbled as he drifted off to sleep.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, "Fool." He donned his robe, wishing to be decent as there were guests in his house.

On his way down the hall, he found Sango and Miroku discussing something. The exterminator seemed quite perturbed, "No! I made plans last year. You have to make them this year. That was the deal!"

The monk tried to weasel his way out of it, "But Sango, my love-."

"I don't want to hear it! You have a week, and that's plenty of time." She glared at him, "Unless you intend to plan this at the last minute."

Miroku's hurtful expression left much to be desired, "You wound me. Of course I will put forth every effort for our anniversary." He kissed her forehead. "I'll put the twins to bed."

Sango sighed, "Alright." She turned away, heading towards their room.

Miroku turned to see Sesshomaru staring at him. "Hello, Lord Sesshomaru. How are you?"

Sesshomaru asked, "What is an anniversary?"

Miroku was a little shocked, "An anniversary? You mean you've never had one?"

"No, otherwise I would not have asked, monk." Sesshomaru gave him a pointed glare, demanding an answer to his question.

Miroku nervously chuckled, "Alright, alright! It's a celebration, kind of like a birthday or a holiday."

Sesshomaru's blank stare told Miroku he didn't quite get it. The monk couldn't believe it, "You mean to tell me you've never had a birthday?"

"Such things are unnecessary. I count my years, but celebrating them seems…pointless."

Miroku shook his head, "I never would have thought…" He got back on the subject, "Well, an anniversary is very important in human society. When two people love each other, they want to celebrate the day they fell in love, or got married, or…well, you get the idea."

Sesshomaru tilted his head to the side, "And you have one of these?"

"Of course!" Miroku beamed, "Every year my dear Sango and I celebrate the day we were wed."

Suddenly, the monk noticed Sesshomaru's face seem a little panicked. "Um," the monk leaned in, "Are you alright?"

The demon suddenly started firing questions at him, "What do you do on these days? Is it a formal event? Does the couple have to go through a ritual of some sort? Are there gifts involved? What about-?"

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Miroku shouted, "Please, one at a time."

The demon lord suddenly remembered who he was talking to, "Fine." He calmed himself and tried again, "What is it these couples do on an anniversary?"

Miroku thought about it, "Well, it's different for each couple. Some people like to have a party with family and friends. Others simply want to spend some time together. Presents are normally exchanged, but some couples don't." The monk looked up at Sesshomaru, "Just curious, but why are you asking?"

Sesshomaru glared down at him, "It's none of your concern." He made to turn around and walk away.

Miroku suddenly called out to him, "Usually, the present has to express how you feel about the one you love!"

Sesshomaru stopped, "How foolish." And then proceeded on his way.

Of course, Miroku smiled after him in a knowing way.

When Sesshomaru got back to the room, he snuck over to the closet. His demonic ears had picked up the conversation his mate had with that slayer woman long before he had walked towards the room. And of course, he had heard something go "thunk!" in the closet.

Opening the sliding door slowly, he bent down to see what his mate had hidden away. When he found the dagger, he sighed, "Fool." He looked over at the dreaming half demon, "Why did you not tell me?"

The half demon only turned over in his sleep, taking some of the blankets with him. Sesshomaru put the dagger back in its hiding place. He walked over to an ornate chair that was directed to their bed. He sighed, remembering why this time of year was so special.

It was the day he claimed Inuyasha as his mate.

He thought over this anniversary apparently only Inuyasha had been celebrating for all these years. Every year it was something left on his desk, mysteriously left there for him to accept. He had always assumed his mate was just in a giving mood. Just like when Inuyasha gave Kyoya something once every…

How could he have been so blind? Birthdays, anniversaries, all these things were meaningless to a demon, but to a half-demon always denied such simple pleasures? He hung his head in shame, feeling like he had somehow failed his mate, and in a way his child too. He gazed at Inuyasha, determined to set things right.

"I'll make it up to you," Sesshomaru promised, "Somehow, I'll show you."

*

The next day, Inuyasha put the dagger on Sesshomaru's desk the next day. He thought he was alone in there, but he was surprised when Kyoya popped out from under the desk. "What are ya doin down there, pup?"

"Waitin for Papa." He crawled out looking up at his daddy. "He said he was getting me a present."

Inuyasha's eyebrows shot up to his hair, "Really? Huh. Know what it is?"

Kyoya shook his head, "No, Papa wouldn't tell me." Kyoya looked on the desk. He gasped when he saw the dagger. "Wow! It's better than he said it was."

Inuyasha frowned, "Who said what now?"

"Papa, he told me about your present for him." Kyoya yawned, rubbing his eyes. "I hope Papa, gets back soon."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and picked up his kid, "Come on, you can sleep in our bed."

"But I wanna sleep on Papa's lap."

"Apparently he's a little busy," Just as Inuyasha was about to leave, the demon lord came in.

Sesshomaru smiled at his mate and child. He held out his hands for Kyoya to jump into. The pup did so immediately. "Has my pup behaved while I was gone?"

"Yes!" Kyoya rubbed his nose under his Papa's chin, making cute growling noises.

Sesshomaru growled back, nuzzling his nose to Kyoya's cheek. "Good boy." Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha, "Inuyasha, would you please not enter our room until the moon is high in the sky?"

Inuyasha, now used to his mate's oddness after all these years, just said, "Sure. I'll let you get back to work." He went to walk away, but Sesshomaru grabbed his wrist, pulling the half-demon close. "Thank you, mate." He kissed his brother's lips, firm and gentle.

Inuyasha smiled as he pulled away, "You're welcome."

"Ew, gross." Kyoya scrunched up his face.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, "Come on pup." He walked over to his chair. Inuyasha watched as his mate sat down, situating his son on his lap. Sesshomaru took out something from inside his sleeve. Inuyasha smiled and rolled his eyes when he realized it was a small, furry dog demon that looked very similar to the true form of his older brother.

Kyoya squealed with joy, "It's just like Papa!" He hugged it close, curling up to sleep with his new toy, "Love you Papa."

Sesshomaru smiled down at his boy, letting his fur cover his beloved son. "I love you as well." The demon lord then looked up at his mate, "And you."

Inuyasha averted his eyes. He turned around, showing his back. "Yeah, I love ya both, sure." And then he ran away.

*

Right after Inuyasha put Kyoya to bed, he headed over to his room, wondering what he was going to find. Sesshomaru had been missing for about two hours now, and Inuyasha felt a little nervous. What did Sesshomaru have for him? Inuyasha had to admit he was kind of excited.

Sure, Sesshomaru never denied him anything nowadays, but at the same time the demon wasn't exactly a 'surprise' sort of person. Actually, the last time he got a surprise anything was about fifteen years ago. Sesshomaru had gone to the East to visit the panther demons and talk about a formal treaty between the lands. He had found a portrait some old panther had drawn of their Lord Father in both his true form and human form. Inuyasha had actually cried a little when Sesshomaru brought it home.

Inuyasha slid the door open and walked in. He was surprised that the balcony door was open, letting the moonlight spill in, onto the bed and…

Sesshomaru tied up, naked, and blindfolded?!

Inuyasha lost all thought. His heart stopped, and his breath just kind of died in his throat. He just stood there for awhile, still as stone. Sesshomaru interrupted his shock with the curt words. "Shut the door."

Inuyasha slid the door shut. He walked over to his mate. He noted how his mate was roped with his hands over his head, while his legs were spread eagle. "Wha-what are you doing?"

Sesshomaru smirked, "I would think this would be obvious."

Inuyasha's brain finally kicked in, "You want me to-to fuck you?" His body heat rose immensely. He could feel a blush hitting his face, and was very glad Sesshomaru couldn't see it.

"Yes, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru's blindfold was on tight, but he turned his head straight at Inuyasha. "I have never allowed anyone to take me, you will be my first and last."

Holy shit, Inuyasha thought, he's giving me his virginity?! He felt his heart race, his cock hardening painfully. "Sesshomaru, I-I…Are you sure about this?" Because he wasn't.

Sesshomaru nodded, "Yes, absolutely." He spread his legs a little more, making Inuyasha moan. "You've gifted me with so much. I'm seeking to return the favor." He smirked, smelling his little brother's arousal.

"But I don't know how." Inuyasha groaned pitifully, even as he started taking off his shirt. He felt like he was burning.

"Inuyasha, I'm only going to say this once more." Sesshomaru leaned back, exposing his neck. "Take me!"

Inuyasha shivered. He closed his eyes, took a breath, and started taking off his pants. "Fine, but don't complain later if I do a shitty job." He was so glad Sesshomaru couldn't see his bright red face.

Sesshomaru gave him a glare through his blindfold. "You will do fine." He chuckled, "After all, have I not taught you well?"

Inuyasha mumbled something about "cocky bastard" before getting onto the bed. He wasn't really sure where to start. He thought about the things he liked Sesshomaru doing to him. He straddled his mate's hips, and leaned over to kiss Sesshomaru. He thrust in his tongue, mock fucking the wet cavern. He felt Sesshomaru moan against his lips.

Encouraged, Inuyasha pinched Sesshomaru's nipples with his hands. He felt Sesshomaru nip at his lips in response. Inuyasha stopped to gasp for air, "Fuck." He was getting a bit of a power trip.

Sesshomaru chuckled, "That's the idea."

Inuyasha gently clawed down his mate's chest and toned abs. "God you're so hot." He nibbled at the demon's neck, "And you taste so good." He licked and bit his way down.

Sesshomaru sucked a breath between his teeth when Inuyasha finally made it to his nipple. He squirmed underneath his mate, wanting to break his bindings. He forced himself to maintain control, but it was a slippery kind of control.

Inuyasha licked and nipped at the tiny nubs. He felt along his mate's hips, feeling the smooth, heated skin beneath his fingers. He made it to the demon's ass, gently squeezing the globes in each hand. Sesshomaru moaned low in his throat, making Inuyasha shiver with delight.

Slowly, Inuyasha continued his trek down wards, bringing his hands to the front. He left on palm on each thigh, gently massaging the skin there. Sesshomaru wondered if Inuyasha was torturing him on purpose. He had assumed Inuyasha would go straight to the main event, not this slow love making fuck! He felt his demon blood pulse, warning him.

Then, when Inuyasha put a hand between them to touch Sesshomaru's shaft, the demon about went ballistic. His eyes flashed red, his demonic nature demanding him to be Alpha.

"Inuyasha, get on with it!"

Inuyasha froze, "What?" He smiled, and started to laugh. "Did you just say-?"

"MATE!" He warned.

Inuyasha steadily stopped laughing. He got between Sesshomaru's legs, lifting the demon's ass. "This is going to hurt a little."

"Yes, I know!" Sesshomaru tried his best not to break his ropes. He was starting to transform, his fangs elongating.

Inuyasha plunged in, "Holy-!" The heat, the tight fit, the fucking vise around his cock! It took every ounce of his will to hold still, letting Sesshomaru adjust. He hadn't been ready for the extreme pleasure. Damn! It was amazing! He panted for breath, trying not to move.

Sesshomaru growled viciously, "Do it! Don't hold back!"

Inuyasha pulled back, and thrust back in. He couldn't believe how fucking good it felt. Why hadn't he tried this yet? He lost himself in a haze of lust, thrusting into his brother hard and fast. Sesshomaru growled and barked, actually barked! He had never felt so much pain and pleasure, so many conflicting emotions, feeling angry from the pain and happy from the pleasure. What was up, what was down?

Inuyasha had his hand stroke the demon's erection. He looked at Sesshomaru, his love, his mate, who looked like a raging, feral dog at the moment. For some reason, that just made Inuyasha drive in harder.

Sesshomaru suddenly yelped. Inuyasha smirked, "Found your spot?" He hit it over and over again. The demon cried out each time. He was so close, so damn close! Inuyasha didn't think he could last much longer.

Suddenly, Inuyasha stopped stroking the demon's erection. Sesshomaru about killed him, when suddenly he felt the blindfold ripped from his eyes. He looked down at his mate, questioning him with a glance. Inuyasha locked eyes with his primal mate, "Look at me when you come."

Inuyasha brought his hand back down, starting a brutal pace inside his mate. Sesshomaru growled, "Mate," he yipped when Inuyasha hit his spot again, and again! It was like an electric shock straight to his cock every time, but so much better! God, why hadn't he done this before?!

He roared as came, clenching around Inuyasha's cock as he did. He kept his eyes locked with his mate's, just like he was told.

Inuyasha roared as well, spilling his seed into that tight, hot hole. "Mine!" His eyes went red, and his demon markings appeared. But then Inuyasha collapsed onto Sesshomaru, trying to catch his breath.

The demon broke his bonds with ease. Inuyasha slowly pulled out of the abused entrance. Sesshomaru held Inuyasha close, feeling oddly enough like he had finally been completed in some odd way.

They breathed together, letting the afterglow set in. Inuyasha muttered against his mate's chest, "Best. Present. Ever."

Sesshomaru chuckled, "I aim to please."

*

"My Lord," the healer gathered her courage to speak the truth, "You are with child."

Sesshomaru stared at the woman like she had grown two heads. "But I am male," he said weakly.

Inuyasha grinned maniacally, "I take it back. This is the best present ever."

Sorry guys, but this is in fact the last one. I love you all, but seriously, no more.
