Chapter 11
Please save the babies!
"it's time to move forward with the plans" Naraku's servant said to a girl "Naraku wants the children and you will get them for him"
"what do you mean?" the girl shouted "the deal was I give you information and you give me-"
"the deal has changed!" he sneered "you will give Naraku what he wants or did you forget what he can do?"
"no please don't! I'll…I'll do it" she said hanging her head low "promise me he won't hurt them?"
"they are no good to him dead" he laughed "just get them outside the palace walls sometime in the next three days and I'll do the rest. There's a whole in the south side behind the vines in garden I'll be waiting there"
She watched as he laughed and disappeared. She shuddered and made her way back to the palace.
Kagome awoke to pitch blackness, she growled and moved her hair out of her face to see her bed empty. She stood and walked to the vanity taking her long bangs and placed tube like hair clips around them, she got a hair tie and bound them loosely behind her head so it would hold the rest of her hair back. She walked over to the cribs and looked down at the little bundles.
"who's hungry?" she smiled as the two boys yipped "ok Kiramaru, Yoshimaru, it looks like daddy changed you all so then lets get you fed and ready for the day."
Kagome sat back in her comfy chair and with both boys in arm and both latched to a nipple gently rocked back and forth as they fed. She hummed a little as they took their fill. Just then Sesshomaru walked in and looked at her smiling as she fed his pups. He walked over and kissed her neck then went to the crib and picked up his baby girl.
"has she been fed?" Sesshomaru asked
"she was not hungry. When she is she will tell me" Kagome smiled "these two seem to be starving. Our boys have a healthy appetite."
"hn. We should take them out to the gardens" he said "it's quite nice outside"
"Sesshomaru when did they get these marks?" Kagome asked
Sesshomaru looked to see not only a blue crescent moon but a black one too. It was facing the opposite way and back to back with the blue moon. Kiramaru had both maroon stripes on his cheeks like Sesshomaru, Chiyemi had only one maroon stripe but her eyes had purple swirls on the side of them, and Yoshimaru had a jagged maroon stripe and a jagged purple stripe on each cheek. Sesshomaru glanced at Kagome and smiled noticing her newly formed swirls near her eyes, jagged purple stripe on each cheek, and black crescent moon.
"Kagome did you pay much attention to your face this morning?" he smirked
"Not really, why?" she asked then looked over at the closest mirror and gasped seeing her face "they got them from me?"
"Yes and you couldn't look more beautiful" Sesshomaru said
"I think this is last stage of my transforming." Kagome smiled the looked down at her sons. "Ok I think you've had enough. Sesshomaru, help me burp them?"
Sesshomaru sat Chiyemi back in the crib then grabbed one of his sons. It didn't take long for him to burp. Kagome was having a little trouble with Kiramaru though.
"Come on and stop being stubborn." Kagome said to Kiramaru who just gave a tiny grunt in protest then yipped when she said "don't test me, Kiramaru"
"This is the result of two stubborn parents" Hoshiko said coming in the door and grabbing her granddaughter who squealed in delight "how's my second granddaughter on this sunny day?"
"It is a rather nice day" Sesshomaru said looking out over the balcony "lunch in the garden seems appropriate for today"
"That sounds great" Kagome smiled "I'll tell the servants to set up outside." Kagome said "first I should get dressed"
"We'll take the children down to the study while you prepare" Hoshiko said taking Kiramaru in her free arm.
"Thank you" Kagome said as they went out the door. Kagome took her time soaking in their personal hot spring and decided on water lily soap. Ounce she dried herself she went to the wardrobe and picked out a light kimono so she could stay cool. It had a thin dark blue under coat, and a semi sheer white overcoat with blue hydrangea petals flowing from both shoulders and crossing down over her hips to the back where it looked like they landed in water. She tied it with a white and gold obi then made her way to the study. She entered to see Sesshomaru working on scrolls; he pinched the bridge of his nose and glared at the scroll.
Kagome sashayed over and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his mating mark. He leaned his head to the side a little to give her better access. Kagome started massaging his shoulders and her leaned back and let his head loll back and closed his eyes.
"What's the matter, koi?" Kagome said
"One of the minor lords is requesting that our daughter be wed to his eldest when she is old enough" he growled
"Well, being from a different, I believe you should marry the one you love not the one parent pick for you." Kagome frowned
"Yes but denying the request could cause war" Sesshomaru growled not pleased at all
"Then tell him that when the children are old enough they shall court and decide weather they wish to mate" Kagome said
"That would appease him without starting a war." Sesshomaru thought "Hn"
"Your welcome" Kagome smiled walking over to the book shelf, grabbing a book, and sitting in the chair near the pen.
They sat in comfortable silence with Kagome giggling here and there. Sesshomaru was curious as to what she was reading. When she wouldn't stop laughing Sesshomaru looked at her and cleared his throat.
"What may I ask is so amusing?" Sesshomaru said
"Just reading about your first hunt" Kagome smirked and started reading out loud "it was a warm summer day when I first took Sesshomaru hunting. I was so proud how he tracked down his prey just like I taught him. He'd already wounded the beast but lost it when it smashed him into a tree. He'd followed its trail and found it near the water trying to regain the power it lost and heal it's self. I watched as Sesshomaru coil and look for an opening then spring at the creature catching it by surprise. He quickly used its confusion to bring the hydra to the ground then cut off the middle head. I laughed as Sesshomaru did some kind of victory dance he was so happy. I noticed the creature's body beginning to swell and remembered telling Sesshomaru that the creature doesn't just fall over and die. I shouted his name but he was too excited to here me so I ducked under the bushes then heard a giant boom and Sesshomaru yelp. When I stood I couldn't help but laugh seeing Sesshomaru with giant, surprised, doe eyes covered from head to toe in blue goop and chunks of the hydra. He wasn't too pleased to come home and have L laughing at him as the maids took him to the bath. His hair was blue for weeks which kept L laughing. Sesshomaru finally got sick of it and put his hand in a bowl of warm water every night for two weeks. It was the funniest thing. I had the hydra head preserved and placed next to his brother's hunting prize, a giant Cyclops eye"
Sesshomaru stood and took the book from her and placed it on a high shelf so no one could get it. Kagome trying to get it back the whole time and pouted when he put it up.
"You're no fun!" Kagome pouted then growled when the pups giggled
"Hn" Sesshomaru smirked and kissed her neck.
Inuyasha was walking around searching for Hinata all over. He was hoping to ask her something very important but couldn't find her. He didn't know if it was the right time to though because she'd been jumpy a lot lately. He was hoping she was a bit more calmed now. He spotted a figure in the distance and sniffed as the wind blew. He knew her scent anywhere it was tiger lilies mixed with a jungle like smell. He raced over to her as she made her was over she seemed upset.
"Oi, Hinata!" he called making her jump
"Damn, are you trying to give me a heart attack!" she said punching him in the arm.
"Well you seemed upset about something. Want to talk about it?" he said walking with her.
"n-no I'm fine" she smiled
"You sure?" he wasn't buying it
"I said I'm fine just a little distracted" she said playing with the long braid in her hair "did you need something?"
"Yea I wanted to ask you something" Inuyasha said a little nervous "I-I wanted ask…um…permission to c-court you"
"You…want to court m-me" she gasped in shock "I-I don't know…um…give me time to think?"
She ran before he could say anything and left him there confused
"Well that could've gone better" he muttered and made his way back into the castle
The day went by normally, at least for the Taisho's, in a pleasant way. Lunch had been fun, everyone wanted to play with the pups, and everyone had fun. They'd settled down about four hours ago giving a suspicious figure the chance to slip out to the garden and to the rendezvous point. Another shadowed figure was waiting there.
"Here so soon?" It chuckled darkly "do you have the three bundles of sunshine?"
"No" the figure said
"Then why have you come?" it glared
"To tell you I'm not doing it!" the person hissed "I can't harm innocent pups"
"Did you forget what we have!" he hissed at the girl
"I know but I just can't do it!"
"Insolent girl!" Naraku's servant said smacking her "Naraku won't be pleased and know that you will never get them back!"
"Bastard" she hissed as the figure disappeared she ran back to the castle and checked on the pups. "Don't worry; I won't let anything harm you young princes and princess"
"I knew she would betray me. Luckily I had another plan lined up" he said summoning his saimyosho "you see I have another in place that I know won't betray me"
"What shall I do then?" the servant frowned "You know I hate sitting around"
"Go back and wait as you were and bring the pups to me" Naraku smiled evilly
"Yes, my lord" he then vanished
Kagome was waiting at for Sesshomaru at the gate, they were taking the pups to see Kagome's mother and brother, and to set up an appointment for the pups that Kagome forced Sesshomaru to consent to. He insisted that the healers in this time was adequate enough but Kagome went on a rampage saying the medicines of her time could stop the pups from getting serious illnesses and on as such until Sesshomaru agreed.
"Sesshomaru hurry!" she sighed as he walked over with his daughter in his arm.
"Miko, the well will be there no matter how long we take!" he growled "calm yourself"
"Hn" she said as he grabbed her around the hip and formed his cloud.
He took to the sky flying fast to hurry and get this over with. She'd pestered him for awhile about this and he finally caved. He sighed as he toughed down at the well and walked over to it. They jumped into the well with the pups between them, touched down on the other side, and jumped out. They walked into the house to find everyone in the living room.
"Kagome, Sesshomaru, it nice to see you again after so long!" her mom said then looked to see the three heads sticking out of the make shift baby carriers. "Oh my…are they-?"
"Yes mother" Kagome smiled proudly as she examined the pups
"Oh kami I'm even more of a grandmother!" she said happily taking Kiramaru and Chiyemi in her arms "how old are they?"
"Two weeks" Kagome beamed "we came so they could meet their other grandmother and uncle and so they could get a check up"
"Kagome how will you hide their marks?"
"I have these bracelets that will hide our marks and features while me and Sesshomaru's will be looked at like tattoos" Kagome said going to the phone and dialing the doctor's office. Just as she hung up Souta walked in and saw his mom and Sesshomaru holding the pups. He didn't even have to ask seeing the marks and features.
"So this makes three nephew and two nieces!" he said coming over and holding one of the pups
"Actually five nephews and two nieces" Kagome smiled "we have two more adoptees at home and these three are our newest that I birthed"
"But we just saw you four months ago and you didn't even have a baby bump" Souta frowned
"Demon pregnancies are faster than humans" Sesshomaru said
Souta went upstairs and brought down his old play pen for the pups and unpacked some toys for them. He sat and played with the pups while Sesshomaru and Kagome went upstairs to shower and change. They sat and chatted for awhile then left for 'Babies R Us' while Souta and Sesshomaru stayed to watch the pups.
"So what all are you getting?"
"Clothes, car seats, diapers, breast pump, bottles, and toys" Kagome smiled
"A breast pump?" her mother questioned
"If I have to leave the castle it's and too dangerous for the pups I want them to have food incase I don't come back that day. I just hope they aren't going to be stubborn and refuse the bottle." Kagome said "Inu pups won't feed from any other besides their mother so I may have to cover the bottles in my scent and aura."
"Ah" her mother said as they walked in the store.
"I wish you could be there with us" Kagome said
"Kagome you have a duty over there and I wish that too but, look at it this way" she said leaning close and whispering "if you get trapped on that side you'll see me in five hundred years and for me it'll be just like yesterday I saw you"
"If I could find a way to bring you to the other side would you come?" Kagome asked
"Yes but Kagome we are human you'd have to watch us die" her mother said sadly "I don't want you to go through that"
"But I can make you demons I did it for Rin so I can do it for you and Souta" Kagome whispered
"Then I suppose we could but what would we tell everyone?" she asked
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there" Kagome smiled as they continued shopping. Kagome smiled at all the cute stuff she got for the pups she even went and got matching shirts for her, Sesshomaru, and everyone else. Kagome smiled at the check out guy as he kept glancing up at her.
"Baby shower?" he asked
"Nope for my triplets at home" Kagome smiled
"You're so young!" he said
"I'm 20 and they're only two weeks" she said
"If the father's not around I'd be glad to take care of you and your kids" he smirked his eyes roaming her body
"I'm glad I didn't bring Sesshomaru." Kagome said watching the guys eye's widen "he already lives up to his name and I'd hate for him to go to jail"
"Um…t-that'll be $376.19" he stuttered "you're change is $20.43 h-have a good day"
"Kagome you didn't have to scare the poor boy!" her mom laughed as she loaded everything into the truck
"The guy was practically eye raping me!" Kagome smiled as she put the car seats in the car and strapped stuff to the roof of the car. "Hey mom we should go to the zoo and I want a family portrait."
"Will Sesshomaru agree" she laughed
"He better" Kagome said as they drove home.
When they got home it was total chaos Souta was knocked out on the floor with a giant knot on his head, the floor was littered with toys, the pups were crying, Sesshomaru was holding all three trying to quiet them, Kiramaru was yanking the hell out of Sesshomaru's hair, and Sesshomaru was looking utterly lost. Kagome watched a silently laughing in her head as Sesshomaru growled as his hair was abused. Kagome's mom tapped her shoulder as gave her a look that said 'stop torturing your mate'. Kagome smiled then turned to the sight and put on a stern look and let out a sharp loud bark that stopped all commotion.
"Kiramaru, let go of your father's hair right now!" she said narrowing her eyes daring him to disobey. He quickly let go. "What happened to Souta?"
"Yoshimaru and Chiyemi used the toys as projectiles" Sesshomaru said. Kagome gestured for him to place the pups back in the pen. She let out a series of barks and yips reprimanding her pups as she took the toys and placed them all in the box they'd been in.
"you can sit in there with no toys and I don't want to here so much as a whimper" Kagome finished the rest in plan speech "you will get the toys back when I feel you've learned your lesson and Kiramaru if I catch you pulling hair again I'll do more than take away the toys. Now I want you to apologize to daddy and uncle Souta when I wake him up"
Sesshomaru picked up Souta and tried shaking him a little but it didn't work. Kagome had him lay Souta on the kitchen floor with towels under him then went and got a small bucket of water. Kagome made sure it was cold before she dumped it on him.
"AHH!" Souta spluttered sitting up but soon regretted it as pain shot through his head. He reached up to touch the knot on his head and hissed "what happened?"
"Our pups seem to thing toys are supposed to be used as projectiles" Sesshomaru said looking back at his crest fallen pups
"Here, put these on it" he took the bag of frozen peas his mom offered and some Tylenol.
"I think our pups have something to say to you both." She said leading them to the pups, who looked up with wide sad eyes. "Well?"
The pups yipped at them and Sesshomaru nodded at them picking them up.
"They're too cute to stay mad at" Souta said smiling "so what we gonna do today?"
"Sesshomaru maybe you should wait outside?" Kagome frowned as Sesshomaru's nose twitched agitated
"I won't leave my mate and pups with a person I know nothing of" he said then growled "why does this place smell so horrid"
"it's the medicines and sterile products they use so no one gets sick...er" she said "remember what I told you everything they do is standard procedure"
"Hn"
"Mr. and Mrs. Taisho?" the nurse said leading them it the room "ok, names?"
"Kiramaru is our eldest, Chiyemi our second, and Yoshimaru" Kagome smiled
"Great, so any fevers, rashes, aches or pains for them?"
"no" Kagome said
"refusing to eat? Chills, gas, vomiting?" she said writing on her sheet.
"nope" Kagome said
"ok well if you could remove all clothing and I'll place them on the scale I'll take their weight, height, and blood pressure." She said smiling she went about the test until the thermometer part.
"what are you doing?" Sesshomaru said appalled at where the thermometer was going
"well babies are too young to take an oral thermometer so we have to apply it anally to check their temperature" she giggled at Sesshomaru who frowned. Kagome smiled at Sesshomaru's curiosity. "ok I'll just attach this to their finger and take their blood pressure."
"well everything's fine here so I'll be going and the doctor shall be with you shortly" she said jotting down the last thing on her chart and leaving.
"you have very peculiar test miko" Sesshomaru said giving the pups a once over
"Sesshomaru calm down they're fine the doctors won't hurt them" Kagome said hugging Sesshomaru
"hello Taisho family I'm Dr. Horatio" he extended his hand which Kagome shook and Sesshomaru just looked at it boredly. Kagome pinched his side and glared at his rudeness "…ok well let me see the patients"
"Hn"
"well aren't they just adorable they look just like you" he said then went over and laid them on their backs and probed their stomachs
"what usefulness does this hold?" Sesshomaru asked raised brow
"checking for any deformities in the muscles, organs, and intestines" he said then put in his stethoscope "they have strong healthy heart beats. Would you like to hear?"
"I can here their heart's clearly from here" Sesshomaru said which got him a confused and startled look from the doctor.
"ok…um…I'll be back with their vaccines in a minute" he said hurrying out the room
"Sesshomaru what is your problem?" Kagome glared at him
"I have no problem" he said
"obviously you do so what's wrong"
"Kagome" he sighed "as an Inu male when we mate we are protective of our mates, when our female is pregnant our protectiveness doubles. I am not familiar with the ways of this time period; this Sesshomaru can't help but be unsettled with unfamiliar beings around his pups"
"oh Sesshomaru, you know I wouldn't put our pups in any kind of harm. I wouldn't insist upon things like this if I didn't feel it was absolutely necessary. The feudal era has so many fatal illnesses and diseases I just want our pups to be safe and for you to trust me on this" she said taking his face in her hands "please trust me?"
"I trust you koi" he said taking her hand in his and kissing her palm. Kagome smiled as the doctor came back in.
"Ok I'll just give them their shots then you're free to go" he said as he readied the needles. "I ask that you hold them still so no incidents happen"
"Ok" Kagome said holding onto Chiyemi. At first she just whimpered then she full out wailed as she got her shots. Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru and her sons as all three let out growls. "Awww its ok mommy's here."
"A nice princess band-aid for you" he said "ok who's next?"
Kiramaru and Yoshimaru growled louder a she got closer with the needles. Kagome gave a small unnoticeable yip to warn the boys. They stopped growling and let the doc administer the shots with only growl.
"Well they'll grow up to be big strong men" he said "how about an optomus prime and superman band-aid for you?"
"Thank you doctor" Kagome said shaking his hand
"No problem just go out and make another follow up appointment and I'll see you again in six months" he said leading them out them room.
"See it wasn't so bad" Kagome smiled at Sesshomaru and kissed her pups head.
Kagome made the appointment while Sesshomaru placed the kids in the car. Kagome came out and got in the car and told Sesshomaru when they'd have to come back.
"Your healers amaze me" Sesshomaru said as they drove away
"The lord, lady, and pups are back" announced a guard as he opened the gate.
"LORD SESSHOMARU!" was squawked across the way "LORD SESSHOAMRU HELP ME!"
"Get back here toad we're not done!" a voice shouted
"HELP ME, LORD SESSHOMARU!" Jaken squawked running towards them he was tied up with rope vines and decorated with lots of flowers. He had a giant knot on his head as he ran for his life. Just as Kagome was getting confused a stampede of kids came rushing after him; there was Rin, Shippo, Mello, Matt, Near, Shiro, Zuko, and a couple of kids they recognized as the guards, army, and servants kids. "LORD SESSHOMA-AHHH!"
"Get his feet!" Mello shouted as they all tackled him
"Yumi hand me the tulips!" Rin laughed
"Purple or yellow?"
"Who has the honey?"
"I thought near had it?"
"I have the ice" Near said
"What on earth is going on?" Kagome shouted making all the children stop and get off Jaken who was positively beat up.
"Thank you mi' lady for saving this lowly Jaken!" he cried out.
"Now children what's going on?"
"me and the girls wanted to play dress up but the boys wanted to see who could hit the moving target the most so we made a game out of it." Rin said "see me and yumi are team Shippo and Genkei, Suzaku and Sakura are team Mello and Matt, and Takara and Yui are team Shiro and Zuko! Every time one team out scores the others the girls get to choose what Jaken puts on."
"Now kids that's not very nice" Kagome said as the kids looked down "flowers aren't the only thing Jaken can wear. Rin, see if you can find some old kimonos that you out grew and I'll send down a servant with some make up for you"
"Yay! Thanks mama!" Rin said
"Lady Kagome you're the best!" said one of the girls
"No problem" Kagome said
"Maybe Sesshomaru and his head guard will be down later to give you tips" Kagome smiled
"Yea!" the guys cheered as they dragged Jaken away
"NNNNNNOOOOOOO!" Jaken cried as he was dragged
"My mate is a cruel one" he smirked as they went into the castle
"Only when I want to be" she smiled
Later that night as everyone retired a figure snuck through the palace and into the nursery. He masked her scent and aura and didn't make a sound as she went. She crept over to the crib and peered down at the pups smiling sinisterly. She reached down to grab them but her hand sizzled as it came in contact with a barrier.
'Little brats!' she hissed in her mind and glared as Yoshimaru and Kiramaru seemed to glare up at her. She smiled and walked out of their eye sight then shifted form and walked back over. "Hello pups mommy's here"
She reached down and met no resistance of a barrier and placed them in carrier baskets and walked out silently. She made her way down and was almost clear until-
"Lady Kagome, it's so late shouldn't you be sleep?" a servant said
"I…um…the pups couldn't sleep so I figured warm milk would appease them" said the girl in disguise
"Oh let me fetch that for you and I'll feed them so you can rest"
"No!" she said startling the girl "I would prefer to do it they won't feed unless it's me or Lord Sesshomaru"
"o-ok well I'll be on my way then" she said "have a pleasant night mi' lady"
She sighed a breath of relief when the servant girl was gone and slipped outside and into the gardens. She took some powder and blew it into the pups face making them sneeze then fall into a deep sleep. She made her way over to the hidden opening and slipped to the outside.
"Wow you managed without any intrusions?" he smirked
"Minimal these pups have miko powers as well and are highly intelligent though I expect no less from the off spring of Lord Sesshomaru and the Shikon miko" she said "do you have what was promised"
"80 pounds of gold awaits you in a hidden hut" he said taking the sleeping pups "theirs a river south of here follow it up stream and go right when you hit the waterfall the hut has an arrow carved above the door"
"I'll be around if Naraku ever needs me" she said then took to the sky
"You pups are in for a treat" he chuckled then disappeared in a puff of smoke
Kagome was tossing in her sleep, she'd been squirming for a couple hours and couldn't figure what's wrong. She stilled for a moment and listened she frowned and strained her hear to find that sound her demon hearing should have no problem sensing. She bolted up and sniffed the air then took off out the bed towards the door. She ran into the nursery at full speed and looked down into the crib and nearly dropped to the floor. She franticly sniffed the air and stretched her aura trying to find the three missing auras. She let out a deafening roar waking the whole castle. Sesshomaru shot up and raced to her side about to demand to know what was wrong until he spotted the empty crib.
"their gone! Sesshomaru our pups are gone" she whispered hollowly. She didn't even notice the tears slipping down her face.
Sesshomaru let out an angry roar as his eyes bled red and he stormed out to see the approaching guards and inquisitive servants.
"the pups are missing I want every inch of this land searched for any trace of them and report back to me! Jaken after the guards report to me if the pups aren't found send an alert to the lords use our fastest messengers!" he barked angrily then turned to the servants "I want this whole castle searched and reported back to me NOW!"
Sesshomaru went back to the room picked up Kagome and carried her to their chambers and held her shaking form.
"we WILL get our pups back and rip apart the being who dared lay his hands on this Sesshomaru's family" he growled angrily.
Kagome prayed to every kami that her pups were ok and that they'd be back in her arms safe and soon.
Sm101: I think I cried a little at this last part. The pups are gone after being back for barely a day. It took me awhile to figure a way to steal the pup in a way that was a clique. So here you go! Will they get the pups back? Your reviews will get you an answer! Review reviewREVIEW!
