I don't own InuYasha, Sesshomaru, or any other cannon characters. The only ones I own are my OC's.
Thinking: I give up -_-'
Chapter 37: Self-Inflicted Torture
The two youkai sat across from one another, eyes locked in a staring contest. One stared in irritation, the other in anger and frustration.
"Admit it, you think I'm fat." Sesshomaru sighed, and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Mat, must this Sesshomaru continue to repeat himself? I do not think you are 'fat', if anything, the visual proof that you carry my pups is arousing."
Tsukiko narrowed her eyes.
"You. Think. I'm. Fat"
Across the room, Yuugao gave an exacerbated sigh, flopping backwards onto the ground.
I give up.
Sesshomaru awoke feeling uneasy. He looked over to the side where his mate had been when he fell asleep, only to find her gone. Panicking, he quickly got up, pulling in a pair of hakamas, and began to search the den. When he could not find her, he went outside, following the freshest scent trail on the crisp night air.
He found her sitting by the river, covered in blood, and chewing happily on the hind leg of a rabbit. His jaw dropped. For as long as he'd known her, she had always preferred her meat at least a little cooked, and yet she was now eating it raw.
"Mate?"
Tsukiko looked up innocently, the half eaten leg still in her mouth.
"Care to explain?" Tsukiko pulled out the leg, almost reluctantly.
"Your pups were hungry."
"There is food in the den."
"So?"
"You went hunting on your own, at night, in your condition."
Tsukiko's eyes narrowed dangerously, and she stood up.
"WHY DOES EVERYONE SEEM TO THINK THIS IS A DISESE OF SOME KIND! IM PREGNANT, NOT DIEING!"
Sesshomaru just stared, shell shocked, as his mate walked past him, muttering under her breath.
Sesshomaru went through a mental list of everything he had done in the last few days, making sure he had not forgotten anything, as he walked back into the clearing that housed his den. As soon as he entered the clearing, he noticed something was off. The three dragon beasts that Yuugao had insisted on bringing were out, not in the cave they were meant to live in, and Yuugao herself was standing outside the cave, arms crossed, and tapping her feet in annoyance.
"Yuugao, what is wrong."
Yuugao looked up, her teal eyes flashing with annoyance.
"Your mate" she pointed into the beasts cave "is nesting."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, and peered into the cave. Sure enough, his mate was in there, in her true form, with what looked like half the forest littering the floor.
"How long has she been doing this?"
"Two days"
"And how am I going to remove her?"
"Beats me, but she's your problem now."
"Sesshomaru, why did you do this to me?"
Sesshomaru sighed and looked at the flustered onna lying on his lap.
"Because I love you."
"I hate you"
Sesshomaru smirked, and hugged his irritable and very pregnant mate closer.
"If you say so, koi."
Writers block be gone!
Who doesn't love self inflicted torture? Hn?
Well, I actually wrote the next chapter before this one, cause I had writers block for this one, so all I have to do is type it up, and there will be another chapter within the hour ^^
Frostfire613: Id say he had dealt with her pretty well, ne? Btw, what DOES an author cookie taste like?
Royal Kitsune: You'll have to wait till the next chapter to see if any/how many die.
Lastofmyclanfan1: Are these hormonal mood swings enough?
Dontgotaclue88: Soak up the fun, Sessh torture chapter, cause the next one is sad
KatiechanXoxoXSesshoukun: I'm glad your enjoying the story X3 Its funny, while I was writing this, every time I looked at my emails, I had another review from you XD
Steph the bat 11: Thanks for the pointers with helping write this chapter! You helped me overcome the writers block!
GreyRye: Sorry if I didn't write it so it made sense X3 Tsu was panicking because she could lose up to all but one pup, because Leiko said one would survive. The thought of losing any pups at all was devastating to her.
And to all you clan fans, Ive made a "Last of my clan fans" page on facebook! I'll be posting spoilers, random factoids, and answering any questions you have there!
Search up "Last of my clan fans", and filter by pages. The profile picture is young Sesshomaru from the InuYasha movie, Swords of an Honourable Ruler (you know, with his pretty pink sakura pattern kimono ;3 ). Hope you guys will go have a look!
Thanks for R&R!
