I'm back…! Okay, here is chapter 12 of "Royal Pains" I don't own or ever will own Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, or Naraku. I do own Pup Kaede, Yahiko and any and all incubi.

Warning: there will be a miscarriage. Sorry.

Oh you guys…please spare me?

Enough

The first thing Inuyasha did as he was bridal carried off the ship was jump out of his mate's arms and vomited up his dinner. Koryu whimpered at the sharp acid scent of the bile.

"Inuyasha, come now. Let us find a carriage." Sesshomaru whispered. The Dog Lord sighed and soothed his mate.

"There is no need my boys." Both inu looked up. In front of the two stood InuTaisho and Ryukotsusei. Both older Demon Emperors looked both pissed and excited.

"Father. Ryukotsusei, why are you here?" the Older demons glared.

"Because, when you two entered the seashore borders of our land, it sent us a signal. We came as fast as we could. I fear that Inuyasha is not strong enough to make the journey. Come. We shall rest tonight at a nearby inn." InuTaisho then lifted his heavily pregnant son and cradled him close to his strong chest. The younger demon sighed and leaned into the warmth and safety of his sire.

"Ryu, help my eldest son with the kits." The dragon growled.

"Why me?"

"Because if you don't…well, I think you can last 200 years without a good jot in the sheets." The Aged Canine smiled, a hint of anger pushing forth. The violet haired dragon snarled and turned on his heel.

~~~~Inn~~~~

InuTaisho placed his pregnant son on a mat. Inuyasha huffed.

"I'm fine! You don't need to worry about me." InuTaisho sent a firm stares at his son. Inuyasha keened and backed away.

"Inuyasha, you are only a hair away from miscarrying. You need to rest. If you are stronger in the morning, we'll go home. But right now, you stay put and stay calm and relaxed." The father then pushed his son's head down onto a pillow and forced him to sleep. Satisfied at his now resting pup, the older demon then turned and went to help his mate.

As he left, Inuyasha sat up. Kaede and Koryu were drawing with some colored ink and stiff paper. A soft yip made the two pups turn around.

"AHNE!" Koryu jumped up and ran to his mother. Kaede jumped up and made the young cub stop from glomping their dame.

"No, no Koryu. You must not do that! Mommy is very pregnant and if you jump on him, then we may never see our baby brother or sister."

"Oh. Sorry ahne."

"It's alright Koryu. Just be careful."

"Yes. Be very careful. Because if we lose the pups, we may lose your mother." Sesshomaru growled out. The two pups wailed and whimpered at their father's hard words.

"Sesshomaru!" both Inuyasha and InuTaisho snapped. The younger lord cringed.

"You foolish nimrod." Ryukotsusei lulled.

~~~~later~~~~

It was late, but Sesshomaru woke up to the scent of blood. Sitting up starlight, the Alpha demon sniffed the air. The blood scent was very strong almost…from at his side.

"Inuyasha!" he roared. The younger Beta moaned.

"What is wrong?" he asked, sleep heavy in his voice.

"Inuyasha you are bleeding!" he wailed, throwing the blankets off of him. The submissive male gasped and wailed. The blood was very thick between his legs.

"OH GOD! SESSHOMARU! THE PUPS! THEY ARE COMING!" he screamed.

"It's too early!" Sesshomaru cried out. The screams woke up Koryu, who woke up Kaede.

"Papa? Ahne? What's wrong?"

"Kaede, go and get your grandfather…now!" obedient, the pup ran.

"Push!" Inuyasha screamed as the bloody pup slid out. It has been four hours since he began to bleed. The room was silent. Both Kaede and Koryu were in their grandparent's room after crying themselves to sleep.

"Sesshomaru why can't I hear my baby? Please, let me see him." Sesshomaru lifted his head, a tiny still bundle rested in his arms.

"Inuyasha…we had a girl." He whispered voice to hurt to raise any louder.

"Let me hold her! Sesshomaru! What is wrong with my baby?!" he panicked. InuTaisho began to rinse off the blood from his arms. Ryukotsusei began to gather the bloody clothes and supplies for a fire. The weary dog began to whimper.

"She…she was not strong enough to live yet. I'm sorry Inuyasha." The demon lord then gave the still bundle to his mate to see. Inuyasha grabbed the infant and wailed at its calm and silent face. His daughter was beautiful. Silky white hair that was still blood tinged. Round cheeks and faint green marks on her face. Her eyes were closed and her hands clasped together as if praying.

"She…Oh Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha then placed his stillborn at his side and wailed into his mate's arms. Sesshomaru cried as well. The baby was so still and cold.

As Inuyasha began to cry himself to sleep, Sesshomaru wrapped the baby in clean silk and handed her still body to his father.

"We leave as soon as he wakes. No exceptions."

"Yes my son." Taking the bundle, the two Emperors went and burned away the bloody clothes as the clothes began to melt; he placed the body gently into the fire. Using a spell to lock the scents in, InuTaisho said his prayers and went away to pack.

~~~~at the harbor~~~~

Ricardo sighed. The rooster had heard sharp wail and screams from a nearby inn.

"Poor Senorita, no bebe." He then uttered a prayer and went to get his ship ready for sail. A faint tap on his shoulder made him turn. He faced a small and yet beautiful woman dressed in nothing but a cloak. Small nicks covered her arms and long black haired framed her blue eyes.

"Pardon me, but can you take me across the sea? I must leave at sunrise." She said in broken Spanish/English.

"Why, certainly. I am getting ready to sail. Why don't you come along? The name is Ricardo by the way…what is yours?" he flirted. The demoness smiled faintly.

"I am Nyx."

~~~~….~~~~

Inuyasha was in a depression. Sesshomaru sat next to him and ran a gentle hand over the now flat stomach. The two pups were whimpering and sleeping close as they could to their dame's belly. The two older males led the small group in silence. It was the distant scream of a tiger that alerted them.

"My Lords!" Danyell landed right in front of InuTaisho, making the older demon jump and his fur stand on end. Inuyasha's lip twitched in a smile.

"Holy fuck! Danyell, don't do that!" the Dog Emperor cried, holding his chest in mockery. Ryukotsusei chuckled at his mate. A sharp snarl made him stop.

"Sorry my Lords, but I wanted to greet you. You have been gone for so long that we fear you died at sea! I wanted to see myself if you did. Thank god I was right!" the young tigress mewed. Sesshomaru smiled, which caused both his mate and sire to flinch.

"Very funny." He directed at his family. At the young feline he said, "We are all alright, however, I would like if you hurried on ahead to warn Kanadi that Inuyasha needs aid. He miscarried our new pup just this morning." The last was said with a solemn tone. Danyell gasped.

"Oh no. my lords, it seems that the festival brought disaster for our home! Naraku was declared pregnant with kits and lost them only a few weeks ago. And now you, we are very misfortune indeed." Danyell bowed her head in prayer for the lost lives of the dead. Inuyasha bowed as well.

"Right now, Danyell, let's just go home. I'm tired, and weak, and sore, and I just want to rest my body in my bed with my mate and living pups."

"Right away my Lord."

~~~~Kitchen~~~~

"Ay yiyiyi!" the shriek echoed through the large space. Yahiko, who had a piece of sweet manna in his mouth, looked at the flighty bird that was the cook. Viva was still shrieking and swearing in Spanish and also was standing on top of a chair, her feather ruffled with anger and fear, and he feet kicking at something on the ground.

~Viva? What is wrong? ~ asked the mute pup.

"OH DIOS! Serpiente! A snake!" she screamed again, this time grabbing a nearby broom and swatting at the snake. Said serpent was flicking its tongue and scenting the air. Yahiko used the one power he hardly ever did: his Dragonmir. The Dragonmir was a power which young dragon spawn were able to sense and feel what a reptile or bird felt or seen. Yahiko let his Dragonmir loose and giggled at the snake's emotions.

"Why do you laugh you Mala cachorro?! You Dragón malo!" the angry hen fumed. Yahiko stuffed the last of the manna in his jaws and grabbed the snake.

~Miss Viva, the snake was confused~ Viva cocked her head.

"Confused? How so? How is that Serpiente! Confused?"

~he smelt a bird, but did not see bird, only you~ Yahiko then petted the scale cover animal and placed him in the window sill. Viva was leering at the green and brown viper as she stepped off of her safe perch, broom still in hand.

"Imbécil. Stupid snake. He cannot tell a demon from a meal?" the purple eyed pup shook his head. The serpent flicked its tongue at the ruffled bird woman and did a mock strike. Viva screamed and jumped into the beams of the ceiling. The mute child giggle. A glare from the Bird of Paradise made him stop, but the smirk still evident on his face. The brown and green snake then turned and slithered away.

~why are you scared of snakes? ~ Yahiko asked. The dark skinned woman huffed.

"Viva is a Hen remember? A bird and birds do not like snakes. Snakes mean danger and harm to pollitos. And Viva is not young anymore. Viva cannot fight or chase any snake away." With that said, the flighty woman glanced at a cooking pot, which was now bubbling over and hissing at the fire.

"AY YIYIYI! NO! Mi arroz! My dinner!" shooing the pup outside, Viva slammed the kitchen doors and went to fix her meal.

~~~….~~~

Yahiko blinked at the giant wooden doors. The mute child then stretched and began to chase a rabbit, which hopped by.

"Yahiko!" Yeshua came flying from a nearby tree and tacked the dragon dog to the ground. Grunts and snaps were heard as the two boys began to play fight. The black haired youth laughed and giggled as the mute puppy silently snarled and clawed at him.

"You lose."

~so? ~

"So you now have to one thing I say. That was deal remember?" Yahiko groaned in his head. Yeshua smiled and climbed off the boy.

~what? ~

"What…what?" Yeshua grinned. The purple eyed child glared.

~what do you want? ~

"I want you to…pluck a scale from…Seiryu's mane." Yahiko jumped.

~NO! ARE YOU CRAZY?! I LIKE LIVING!~ He mentally screamed, giving the young incubus a headache.

"You have to do it. Of I will make you put on one of Kaede's evening robes and ribbons." He sneered. Yahiko gave the blue eyed child a desperate look. Eyes wide and on the brink of tears. Yeshua huffed.

"Do it." Yahiko pouted. He knew he will be feeling his sister's hand on his backside soon.

~~~~Seiryu~~~~

The cotton candy blue dragon sighed in peace as she shifted into the dragon form. A fluttering shuffle next to her head made her open her large eye. She smiled as best she could as a dragon at her baby brother, who was trying to sneak by her.

Yahiko gulped and ran a tiny hand over his sister's mane. Reciting a prayer, the gutless pup yanked out a long blue hair like scale. Seiryu screamed and turned her angry gaze unto the cowering pup, her missing scale in his hands.

(You Little…!) She screamed.

~~~~Yeshua~~~~

Trying not to laugh, the young incubus child shook as he heard smacks and felt whimpering keens inside his head. A loud smack made him lose it. The young Eastern Prince bent over and laughed, holding his stomach and teary.

"You think getting your friend into trouble is funny?" Yeshua choked on his laughter. Looking up, he gulped as he looked into his father's angry blue orbs.

"Oh uh." He tried to run, but was jerked back and found himself bent over his father's large lap. Yeshua struggled, and began to whimper and he felt his father wrap his legs under his own.

"I hope you learn from this." Asmodeus then brought his hand down.

~~~~Nursery~~~~

Yahiko yelped mentally as he sat down on a soft cushion, as his own rump was stinging and bruised. Yeshua lowered himself slowly on his seat, his rear still burning from his father's sharp hand. Yahiko glared at his best friend.

~it's your fault. ~ He snapped. Yeshua sighed and wrapped his arms around his friend in apology.

"Sorry I got you into trouble. I just wanted to be Alpha for once."

"You didn't have to get each other hurt though." Naraku said as he wrote on a nearby chalk board. The powdery stick of talc in his hands went on with the mini screeches and snicks.

"I know Naraku. But I wanted to be alpha!"

"You could have asked Yahiko if you could be in charge. He is not an alpha, but an Omega. He prefers to follow, but can be just a stubborn as an Alpha."

~Yeah, I could have just let you Yeshua. I don't like being in charge. ~ Yahiko smiled at his friend and hugged him back. Naraku smiled at the youthful forgiveness.

"Okay then…I want you to each write on how you should never let status get in the way of friendship, and also… to write 300 times 'I will never get my best friend in trouble unless I am willing to myself.' I will return in an hour. Don't move from your spot!" the two boys groaned as their caregiver left to find his mate.

~~~an~~~

Not bad, kind of short though. DON'T KILL ME! I made Inuyasha miscarry his baby! Don't kill me! It will get better though!
