Chapter One: The Kōsai no chōsen
Kōsai no chōsen: The challenge of mating
It was just a regular day in feudal Japan, the gang is by the lake near Edo village doing laundry. Sango, the retired demon slayer turned mother, had her youngest child on her back. She unsuccessfully tries to get her twin girls, Keisha and Miao, to stop playing in the water. The twins had successfully soaked her husband Miroku, retired pervert monk turn daddy, along with all the laundry. Kagome laughed as she picked up her basket of clean clothes and started walking back to the hunt she shared with Inuyasha. After she had came back, he had made the hunt with his bare hands with several rooms for patients and visitors. Shippo is at a school for fox demons, learning to become even more of a trickster than before. Speaking of Inuyasha, the dog forest spirit that guards against rouge demons, is up in his favorite tree, the Goshinboku. He is trying to get up the courage to give his Kagome the ring in his hand.
'Come on Inuyasha! You can do this! You've been planning this for months now! You even faked a demon attack SOS, just so you can go see Tōtōsai and get this made! So… WHY AM I HESITATING!?' He screamed in his head.
"Chicken shit, Hanyo." Said the beast in his mind.
'Like you could do any better! If you came out she would probably scream bloody murder!' Yelled Inuyasha to his beast.
"You know that's not true! She would come up to me and try to calm me down! She loves all of us! Plus, I would simply take her to our room and make sweet passionate love to her. Then, mark her as mine." His beast sends him very vivid images of what he would do to her, which makes Inuyasha's mouth go dry.
Inuyasha shakes his head, 'What would you say after you mark her? Maybe... Hey, Kagome. I just marked you as my mate without even asking if you wanted to be connected to me so deeply that you live as long as I do. Love you, wench.' Dripping with sarcasm.
The beast shrugs his shoulders, "That could work. Great to know that you have everything prepared because as soon as I mark her, I'm changing back into you." Tessaiga pulsed at his hip in a way that told Inuyasha he was laughing. "This is not funny Tessaiga! Don't go taking his side!"
A voice calls from below, "Inuyasha? Who is taking who's side?" Inuyasha looks down to see Kagome with the basket of clean laundry.
He jumped down and said, "Keh. I wasn't talking to no one, wench."
He then grabbed the clothes from her and proceeded to take them inside.
"Yeah. Right." Said Kagome as she followed him in. "Make sure you grab all of your clothes and not just your firerat."
He put the laundry on one of the tables he made. Then, proceeded to sort of all of his clothes. He had a lot more after Kagome got back. She insisted she make him clothes as a way to help him. He now has three different ceremonial outfits, four working outfits, and five regular outfits. That's not even counting his firerat and undergarments.
Just as they were done folding, a woman rushed into the house. "Lady Kagome! Lady Kagome! My sister is going into labor!" She screams as she runs around in circles.
Kagome passes Inuyasha her clothes and calms down the woman. She rushes into her "Office" where she treats patients and grabs her medical bag. She kisses Inuyasha on the cheek and says, "Duty calls!" He smiles as she runs after the woman.
"We could always serenade her." Spoke Inuyasha's human side.
'Nice idea, if we wanted her to run away from us in pure terror with blood ears.' Said Inuyasha to his other halves.
"We are not that bad. We are getting really good at singing that one song we heard three years ago on Kagome's ste-re-o thing." Human side said.
"For once I must agree with the human. We could sing her the songs of the Inu clan. We have the throat for it." Said the Beast side.
"She is human, you dumbass. She wouldn't be able to understand the Inu language." Human side said rudely.
"Then I'll teach her the Inu language. It's not that hard." Said the Beast confidently.
"That is not the point! Maybe a romantic dinner." Human suggested.
"Oh! Oh! We could make her a sloppy doe." Beast said.
'A what?' Inuyasha said.
"Don't you remember those really sloppy sand-wi-t-ch things she brought that tasted really good." The Human said.
"But instead of whatever meat that was, we use doe meat instead!" Beast cheered.
Inuyasha rubbed his head, 'How can I get rid of you two?' He puts Kagome's clothes in her drawers and heads to his room.
"Wait! Go back to Kag's room!" The Human said.
Inuyasha goes back in. "Imagine, where Kagome's bed is a cradle. Over there a chest, full of baby toys for our pups. Lastly, a closet full of baby clothes." The Human said.
It brought a smile to his face as he closed the door and headed to his room. As he opens his door and faces his room, his beast stops him. "Imagine. Kagome on our bed naked, just waiting for us to…" Inuyasha stops him.
'You damn pervert! All you want is to get up her skirt!' Inuyasha yelled as he went in and put up his clothes.
"And why not?! All three of us have seen what is under there… several times!" Yelled the beast.
"He's got a point." Agreed the Human.
"If I ask her tomorrow, will you guys shut the hell up?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Your human and beast getting to you again?" Asked a voice from the door. Inuyasha turned to see Kaen laughing at him. Her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail showing off that she really has two sets of ears, not just one. He still has no idea how that happened.
"Yeah. What are you doing here and where is my cousin Yosa?" Asked Inuyasha.
She prances over to Inuyasha and gives him a big hug. "What can't I come and visit my future cousin-in-law?" She asked with a pouty face.
Inuyasha gives her a face and shakes his head no. She lets go of him and says, "Me, Kagome, and Sango are leaving this evening to have a long soak in the hot springs together. That means you, Yosa, and Miroku are going to be babysitting. Yosa is bringing the kids as we speak."
Inuyasha went into panic mode. If you knew Kaen's adopted kids like he did you would panic too. She has five! That's right five! The oldest is a girl who is a really good firecat yōkia, but then comes the twin raccoon dog hanyōs. They are real terrors! Then the Phoenix yōkia girl who loves to play pranks! Lastly, too smart for his own good owl hanyō! He is silent before he attacks!
"Well, you guys can't go because Kagome is delivering a baby right now." Inuyasha said with a smirk. Silently thanking Kagome's giving heart.
"Inuyasha! I'm home!" Yelled Kagome from the front of the house. And now he is cursing her bad timing. Kagome comes in through the door and sees Kaen.
"Hi, Kaen. The delivery was very fast. It might have to do with the fact that she has had four already. Don't know why her sister always freaks. Kaen, are you ready for the hot springs?" Asked Kagome excitedly.
Kaen smiles at Inuyasha before answering, "Yup, the kids are on their way here now."
Inuyasha wonders, "What is so special about this hot spring?"
Kaen turns to him and says, "It is one of a kind. It is hidden in the forest in a secret location only known to my family. It is said that any who wash themselves in the water will become extremely fertile and with my future mating ceremony coming up. I will bathe in the waters and Sango and Kagome will wash me as customs stands."
Then she got close to Inuyasha and whispered in his ear, "Maybe, just maybe the waters will work on Kagome too. I know Miroku is hoping for triplets out of Sango." As Kaen walked back to Kagome, she left Inuyasha with his mouth open and a very vivid image of Kagome pregnant with quadruplets.
A knock was sound on the door. Kaen went to open it and found not just Sango and her family, but her family too. The kids tackled their mother to the ground and Kaen cheered and laughed. Kagome and Inuyasha enter the main room and greet their friends. Kagome gushed over how beautiful Sango's and Kaen's kids are.
Inuyasha went over to the men, "You guys know, we will be half way dead by the time they get back."
Yosa looked at him, "I deal with them all the time and I'm not dead yet."
Miroku looks at Yosa, "That might be because they all see as their father figure and they behave with you." Yosa chuckled nervously.
Inuyasha looked at him, "What? Yosa?"
"Well, I kind of taught the kids some new... pranks." Yosa said, rubbing the back of his neck.
Both Miroku and Inuyasha glared at him. Kagome cleared her throat and that go their attention, "Kaen's mating ceremony is in three weeks. During which time, you three need to be responsible for our kids. Now, we will be leaving." With that, the women left sealing the men's fate because as soon as they left every kid, including the older one, had the most wicked smile on their face. This was the start of a very, very long evening.
*Late That Night*
The women came to Kagome's home happy and cheerful to find it a mess. They looked around and the only part of the main room that was clean was the empty cooking pot in the middle of a died out fire pit. Kagome went into the room and got a candlestick and candle from a drawer. She lit it and along with the other women made their way to the back rooms.
Inside of Kagome's room was Miroku passed out in the middle of the bed with Roku on his chest and a twin girl curled up on either side. Each woman looked at each other and came to a silent agreement. They would all sleep here tonight. Sango went past the others and scooted over Keisha and jumped into bed with her family.
The remaining woman went to Inuyasha's room. They opened the door to find Yosa sleeping in the middle of the bed like Miroku. He had the eldest on the other side by the wall holding their youngest in her arms. One twin boy was sleeping above Yosa's head while the other was sleeping on his legs. Lastly, the little Phoenix girl was cuddled up to Yosa's chest. Kaen smiled warmly at the site.
'He really does make a good father.' Thought Kaen as she jumped into the remaining spot. As soon as she did, she felt Yosa put his arm around her.
There was only one bedroom left, but it had the old stuff we used to use when we were hunting Naraku and the shards down. Kagome made her way there and as silently as possible opened the door to reveal Inuyasha sleeping on her old sleeping bag. He was using his arm as a pillow. She entered the room and closed the door behind her. For the longest time, she just stared at him till he said, "Are you just going to stare or are you going to join me?"
Kagome laughed quietly and lowered herself to the sleeping bad. She cuddled herself up against Inuyasha's naked chest. "Did you have fun?" Asked Kagome. Inuyasha just "kehed".
Then said, "I'm sorry for the mess. We got a little carried away, today." Kagome looked up at him, "We?"
He nodded, "The kids made a bet to see who was the bravest out of us three, then who was the smartest, and then a lot of other stuff. We might have gotten competitive." Kagome shakes her head with a smile and kisses his mouth. A breathless time later, we find both of them fast asleep in each other's arms.
*Next Morning*
They were all just having a good time at the lake and carefully running through the forest. They played tagged and many other games till they took a break.
"How's Shippo doing in his classes over at the fox school?" Asked Kaen.
Kagome smiled, "My beautiful foxy son is doing so well. He learned how to transform his tail, so that it will not show. He also said that they are learning how to act as what they transform into and for some reason wants Miroku to visit them soon."
"He is probably going to pull some prank on my humble monk self." Miroku sighs.
They were all having a joyful day and Inuyasha was about to propose when a tornado cloud appeared. It was of course Kōga. "Hey, Kagome. Are you done throwing your feelings to someone who will never cherish them like I do?" Kōga asks as he grabs her hands and basically rubs himself all over her.
"Stop him! He is rubbing off our scent marking and marking her with his!" Yelled the Beast.
"Rip his arms out of his sockets!" Yelled the Human.
For once all three were in agreement. "Get your hands off of her you mangy wolf!" Yelled Inuyasha.
He went at him with his claws and Kōga jumped over them. "You know what Inutrasha?" Asked Kōga as he landed on the other side of the field they were resting in.
Inuyasha turned his anger eyes on Kōga ready to finally killed that dumb stinking wolf, "What?"
Kōga smiles and runs to Kagome while secretly pulling a vial from his furs. He dumps the contents over Kagome's head. Suddenly, she starts glowing and words appear on her arms. Then with a final boom of light and a god-awful scream from Kagome, she falls into the arms of Inuyasha who kicked Koga out of the way.
"I challenge you to a Kōsai no chōsen!" Koga announces to everyone there.
Inuyasha checks over Kagome and finds that she is only unconscious. "A what?" He says as he looks at Koga with a nasty glare.
Kōga didn't explain and said, "You accept or you lose all mating rights to Kagome!"
Kaen is extremely angry. "You can't do this Kōga. So close to my mating ceremony."
Kōga just looked away and said, "I can and I did with you as a witness!"
Kaen sighed and then spoke to Inuyasha, "If you do not accept, then Kōga wins and he can mate Kagome right now with or without her permission because if the mating part of the ceremony is not completed then Kagome will die."
Inuyasha glared at Kōga, "I accept!"
Kaen nodded, "This has to happen at a Lord's castle and it can't be mine. So it looks like we are heading to the castle of Sesshōmaru."
"Yosa. Take the kids and tell mother what has happened." Kaen asked. Yosa did exactly what he was told.
Miroku asked, "What just happened?"
Sango answered, "I heard about this. Never saw it, but heard. Kōga has just made a challenge of mating where the price is the mating of Kagome. If what Kaen said is true then if the ceremony isn't complete the power that went into Kagome will kill her." What a mother fuckin day!
