CHAPTER 30: TEMPER
"I can not belive him. He teaches his sons that it is ok to treat members of my family like shit because of what they are. Yet like the rest of the adult youkais here he hopes I will pick one of his sons as my mate." Mara was very upset she could not belive gests in her own home would treat her family like that. Normaly the other gests and their sons would at least pretend to like their host's family to get what they want. "Let it go Mar Mar we are both used to being treated a lot worse then that" said as he watched his sister pace back and forth across the balcony. He was begining to think she was going to have a nervous breakdown. "You know that is how I have always been treated." "Yes Mara we are both used to it being a youkai exterminator and a human results in youkais not likeing me very much." "I know the to of you are treated like that a lot but that still does not make it right!"
"What the hells are you screaming about Mara?" "Oh hello kona, Lia it is nothing some of the other gest are just being assholes to Yasha and Sango." "You are Inuyasha" said Lia. She had not seen him since he was a very young pup. "Wow you have grown a lot since the last time I saw you." "Uh who the hell are you. (pause) Oww what was that for Mara" he said rubbing the large knot forming on the back of his head. "Watch that mouth of yours Yasha. Please don't tell me you have forgoten my cousin Lia." "That hurts little one you used to fallow us around like you were atached to our tails." "Do not call me that and of corse I remeber you. How are you what are you doing with that wimpy wolf" said Inuyasha as he moved to hug Lia causeing Kouga to growl. "Back off mutt-face she is with me because I am corting her." Now it was Sango's turn to talk "you knew my mate as a pup." "Yes the three of us did everything together. Even some things we..." "Stop right there Lia you two do not need to tell Sango any of the things we did when we were younger." "Oh yes they do Mara Lia we will have to talk later." "You can count on it Sango." By this time Inuyasha was as red as his fire rat furs. "Ok that is enough out of you two please" he begged Mara and Lia.
"Sorry to interupt this reuion but Samara you need to get back in there now and stop threating our gests." Sesshomaru had come up behind his sister and warned her out her temper. "Hai Sesshomaru but they deserved it." "I know I heard what they said it will be taken care of later. But please start at least talking to some of the young ones. If you don't there is going to be problems." "Fine but I am not danceing." "Oh yes you are if I have to so do you" Sesshomaru said as he lead her back into the ballroom and started to dance with her. She danced with him for a while but then a young youkai asked to cut in and she had no choice but to dance with him. At least they were no longer the only ones danceing. After danceing with him for a while she excused herself and went to find Kagome. On the way she saw Miroku he looked good. He was wearing his nicest new furs and armor. The armor was black and the furs were a very dark silvery grey color. His hiar was in a low ponytail. Because he had not been near Mara for more then a few minutes in the past moon cycle the mark on his forhead was no longer there It would not be visible until it was made publicly known that Mara had taken him as a mate. She moved on quickly so that Miroku would not see her.
Miroku was going nuts he had been flirted with more time then he could count. He had finaly escaped to the garden where he could be alone for a few minutes. Suddenly he was aware of Kouga drawing near to where he was standing. "How are you holding up Miroku? I see you escaped the mobb for now." "Hai I have Kouga-sama" he said bowing slightly. "Who is your beautiful friend" he said as he inclined his head to the wolf standing by Kouga. "This is Lady Lia she is the adopted daughter of Lord Tyen. She is also cousin to Lord Sesshomaru and Princess Samara. Lia this is Miroku he is my blood brother and one of those that was involved in the defeat of Naraku." The two said hello and Kouga told Miroku that he was corting Lia. With the blessing of the princess of course. "That is good news Kouga but I thought you were courting the princess" said Miroku. He just smiled as Kouga said that it had not worked out between him and the princess.
Suddenly Mara walked up to the three wolves. "Kona Ginta and Hagguku need to speak with you." "Thank you Mara. I will see you later Miroku. Are you comeing Lia?" With that Lia and Kouga walked off to find the other wolves. Leaving Mara and Miroku alone in the rose garden. He was not even thinking about what he had done until they had gotten back to the ballroom. Suddenly he reilized what he just had done. He quickly went back to the garden and found Miroku alone. "Lia will you go find Mara please I have a feeling she might need to talk to you." "Of corse I will see you later Kouga-sama." She went to leave but was stopped by his hand on her arm. He leaned down to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Please call me Kouga milady." With that he let her go and waited until she was out of sight. "Please tell me you did not do anything stupid." "Of corse I didn't I realy do not feel like getting killed." "So what happened when I left the two of you alone." "Nothing we said goodnight and then she walked off I think she was crying." "I can understand why this is going to very hard for her. Not only is she not allowed near you but she also has to deal with her little brother haveing a mate." "Yeah and not to mention the fact you are corting her cousin." The two continued to talk as they walked around the gardens.
Lia had found Mara in her private library. She had been crying and was very unhappy but she would not tell Lia why. She settled down to have a long talk with her cousin. This night was far from over.
CHAPTER 31: LOSING CONTROL
"Come on Mara tell me what is wrong I do not like to see you upset." "I can't it has been forbidden from design. Please do not make me tell you." "Does this have something with you not having a mate. Or the fact that your brother is all but forcing you to take one?" Mara just looked at the wolf trying to decide what to do. Slowly she lifted her hair away from her neck. Lia gasped as she saw the two marks on the left side of Mara's neck. After she stared a Mara for a long time she spoke. "Oh gods you have been claimed. Do your brothers know? Does Kouga? Am I just a back up because he can not have you? Who is it?"
"Woah Lia breath yes kona and my brothers know. As do my brother's mates and Sesshomaru's pups. Of course you are not a back up for kona. He relay cares for you in fact I think he may be in love with you. As for who my mate is I can not tell you just yet but you have met him at least once. I must ask you not to tell anyone Sesshomaru wants him to see what it is like to have to win the affections of a mate." "I promise I will not tell anyone but you do realize that rumors are going to start that we are up to no good."
"Yes I know you know I am relay starting to think that start rumors and try to ruin the happiness of others are the only thing youkais know how to do." "Well you should be used to it by now" Lia said as she looked at her cousin. The wolf could tell that she was up to something and Lia knew that Mara's idea almost always lead to trouble. "What are you thinking Mara or do I even want to know?" "We could help those rumors spread and rid ourselves of a lot of unwanted attention." Lia cringed as she asked "how" knowing that she was not going to like the answer. "Well it is rather simple we go for a walk in the garden near one of those stupid youkai princes. Then we make it look like we are having a fight. No one will want anything to do with us they all know our tempers." "Your brother would kill us because that would make this family seem even more insane and volatile." "Which one are you speaking of." "Both not to mention Kouga and your mate. Messing up the gathering that introduces the lady of the western lands would make Sesshomaru very very angry and think you a huge descrase. Worse then your mother did when your father mated a human. No I am not going to help you descrase your family any further." "Watch it Lia" "Mara growled causing the girl to jump she had a feeling she had just started a fight not meaning to. "I liked Inuyasha's mother she was one of the kindest souls I have ever known."
By this time Mara was so angry that she walked out of the library leaving Lia to stare after. "What are you getting so mad at all I did was mention the fact that your brother and mother thought your family was descraced." "Don't you ever talk about my family like that. I love my little brother who cares if he is a hanyou. My mother was cold and uncaring just like Sesshomaru. I relay do not find it a surprise that my father left her." "Yes I agree with you auntie could be awful but picking a human." "She was kinder to me then anyone else she even accepted the fact that I have the ability to become human. She treated me like a daughter after my mother went and got herself kill and then again after my father was killed. It feels like Inuyasha is my twin not Sesshomaru." By this time she was screaming and had caught the attention of a young prince who was hiding well he listened to their fight. "The others were right you are a freak caring more for your father's whore then your own mother. You even accept their freakish child that should have been killed when it was born. You should be ashamed of yourself only weak fools would ever think what your father did was honorable." She was yelling just as loudly as Mara.
Both girls had primal hatred burning in their eyes. Suddenly Mara let out a scream that could make the blood of the devil himself run cold and leapt at the wolfs slender neck. Mara tackled the startled wolf and held her to the ground her claws boring holes into her neck. She did not even notice the blood that had begun to pool around her fingers and ran down to wear her wrist met the girl's neck. Lia was scared to death she had never seen Mara act like this. She knew that Mara had lost all control of her sanity. Her eyes had started to turn completely red and had begun to glow. She tried to say something but all that came out was a strangled whimper of pain. She was going to die she was sure of it and she wished for unconsioness. Both girls heard the rustling of a bush as the young youkai ran into the ballroom to tell everyone what he had just witnessed.
Lia had managed to pry Mara's fingers just lose enough so that she could breath. Her body was trembling in fear and at the pain in her neck. 'If I live through this I am never going to piss her off again' she thought as she closed her eyes. Suddenly she heard a trio of snarls and the weight on her chest lessened and she felt herself being lifted off the ground. As she opened her eyes she saw Mara slumped in Inuyasha's arms she had been knocked out could. Lia looked up to see that she was being carried by Kouga her, her youkai blood had already started to heal the wounds in her neck. "Kouga" she said in a horse whisper. "Shh Lia do not try to talk for a few more minutes," said Kouga as he nuzzled the side of her face. The three males were bringing the females to Sessomaru's library. When they got their Inuyasha laid his sister on the couch after Miroku had gotten up. Kouga sat Lia down in a chair and they all waited.
Sesshomaru was way beyond pissed off he had never thought that Mara would hurt Lia like this. She had never lost control like that and though he would not admit it. The fact of the matter was it had scared him very badly. He did not want to lose his sister and if her sanity slipped he would be force to kill her. While they were waiting for Mara to wake Sesshomaru kicked the youkai and his sons that had caused the trouble earlier out of his castle. Then he told the northern lord that he was no longer welcome. It was his son that had seen Mara and Lia of course no one believed him because they all knew about him trying to kill the princess and her friend. After they had all gone with the northern lord apologizing again that meant that all of the guests from the north had left. But there was still many guests' left he told them all that the party was over but that there would be much more to do over the next week.
He went back to the library and found that Lia's neck had almost completely healed. At that moment Mara woke up as she started to move Inuyasha grabbed her and moved so his arms were around waist holding her in place. "Now, WHAT THE HELLS HAPPENED" yelled Sesshomaru as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I do not remember," said Mara quietly as she looked at the blood that covered her hands, which had begun to shake violently. "Sesshomaru it was my fault I said some things ti Mara that I shouldn't have and we got into a fight." "Come here Lia" Sesshomaru said calmly placing a hand on her head as she came up to him. He used what little mind reading powers he shared with his sister. "Oh my gods you didn't no wonder she tried to kill you." Mara was suddenly hit with the memories of what she had done. "Oh gods I could have killed you and I would have if..." She trailed off as Kouga and Miroku both said. "Well you didn't do any percent damage." Mara and Lia told the others what had happened between them. "Mara can you ever forgive me I should have never said those thins." "I forgive you but how can you ever forgive me for atacking you. Why did you say those things anyway?" "I guess it is because you have something I have always wanted but never had. A family of my own blood that loved me and would protect me no matter what. Even though you and Sesshomaru do not always get along he always protects you in his own way." After all the apologies were done and accepted the group separated for the night to go to sleep. Except for Mara and Sesshomaru they needed to talk.
"Sesshomaru I need you to promise me something very important." "Yes Mar what is it." "If that ever happens again were I lose control and try to kill someone. I want you to stop me any way necessary." "What are you saying you do not mean." "Yes I do if that ever happens again I want you to kill me. I knew what I was doing I could see the fear on Lia's face. But I did not care I was squeezing the life out of one of my best friends and I could not have cared less. It relay scared me all I wanted to do was feel her neck snap in my hands." By this time she had snuk to her knees and was crying uncontrollably. Sesshomaru pulled her into his lap rocking her back and forth trying to calm her down. "I promise" he whispered in her ear. "But it is never going to happen you are getting so much stronger."
After they were done talking Sesshomaru brought is sister to his chabers and she slept in the chair by the fireplace. He did not want to leave her alone she was still very scared. He did trust that she was in control of her self but he did not want to take any chances. After she was asleep he went to talk to Kouga and Miroku. "So that was interesting was it not" said Miroku. "Yes it was she is absolutly terified Kouga do you think this will change her permently." I am not sure Sesshomaru I do not think so the problem has been fixed and forgiven. Normaly that would be the end of it." The one thing they all agreed on was the fact that this had not been expected. "I talked to Lia she relay is sorry for what she did. She honestly did not mean to upset her." "I know I already went to talk to her before I came to talk tot you." Soon the entire castle was asleep waiting for the next day.
CHAPTER 32:MORE GOOD NEWS
Mara was finaly asleep she had been up all night talking to her kona. He was very nervous because he was planing to take Lia as his mate later that night. Although her mind was telling her he would not last more then a few hours. The gathering had gone very well so far now it was almost over. As a sign of wanting to have alinences with the western lands all of the other lords ordered all jewel shards in the lands be turned over to Lady Kagome. The jewel was almost completed Kagome just had to talk to Kouga and get him to give her his shards.
A few short hours later Rin and Shippo came into Mara's room and asked her to come outside with them. Soon she sat with the children in the garden. Shippo was sitting near her feet and Rin was curled up in her lap. Both pups were silently listening to her sing to them in a strange and very old tounge. It was the same song she had sung to Yasha when he was a small pup. Suddenly three very excited females came up to her she knew they all had news for her and she knew what it was but she wanted to let them tell her. First Kagome spoke "the jewel is completed. Sesshomaru has it hidden somewhere that only he knows about. He is going to help me protect it from those who want to use it for evil or greedy purposes. OH and I am going to have Sesshomaru's pup I am pregnant!" Next was Sango's turn "I am also with child Inu and I are going to have a pup." "Finaly it was Lia's turn "Kouga has made me his mate." "I knew he could not wait until tonight and Lia you are also with child." The young wolf squeald with joy and went to run off to tell her mate. "Wait I need to tell you all something Kagome and Lia your pups will be born in three mounths and Sango's will be born in for mounths because of your youkai blood the leanth of the pregnacy will be diffrent then human pregnacies." So Lia made to leave but only after she told Mara that she was going to tell Miroku what was going on. She had figured out they were mates and wanted to meet the male that had won the heart of her best friend. Then Sango and Kagome left with the pups to tell their mates the good news.
Mara was left alone again and her heart started to hurt terribly. Although she was happy for the girls their news had brought back some of the memories that she wanted to forget. She once again felt that familer feeling that felt like part of her body had been taken away from her. She needed to be with the only one who coul make her feel whole. 'Fuck it' she thought 'I need Miroku and I need him now.' So she went to find her mate knowing that her twin brother was not going to be happy but at the moment she did not care. All she needed, cared about, or wanted was the touch of her mate.
It did not take long for her to find Miroku he was sitting with a group of youkai. The group included Hagguku Ginta Miroku and Tylan. She walked up to them making sure they did not notice her. She watched and listened to them talk for a while and then she walked up to them and asked if she was interupting anything. After they all told her that she was not they asked her if she wished to sit with them. She accepted and sat between Ginta and Miroku. After making small talk for a little while she figured that she had waited long enough. Suddenly with one quick movement she grabbed Miroku by the top of his aromor and pulled him into an earth shaking, heart stopping, soul searing kiss. Then she got up and walked toward her chambers. "Miroku you dumbass get up and fallow her that means she wants you to be her mate" Ginta told him. Miroku quickly rose and took off after the girl. While the other youkais just stared with their mouths hanging open.
Soon Miroku and Mara were alone in their chambers he asked her "do you wish me to tell and show you what I learned?" "No Miroku please I just want to fuck until we are so weak we will not be able to move for days. Please can we not be mates and just be slaves to passion for now. I need to feel you inside me now, make love to me or just screw me. I do not realy care what you do to my body at the moment I just need you." Miroku was shocked he had never heard her like this "I will do as you wish my love but please tell me you want and missed me for me and not the sex." As he said this outloud he was thinking 'what the fuck am I saying.' (what have I done he dose not want to take advantage of a girl) He looked into her eyes brushing the hair that had come lose away from her eyes. She looked back into his eyes and told him that she needed him and she loved him more then ever. She slowly ran her hands over his body as they removed each others clouths. All his marks were back and her lips latched onto the mark on his neck. Mara allowed herself to be pushed onto the bed she screamed her mates name as his tounge entered her body. He teased her on purpose by going fast and then slowing down. This caused her to moan and writhe in torment. Soon she came her inner muscles clentching around his tounge causeing him to moan. The moan caused a tickelish feeling aginst her heat which resulted in another stronger stream of pleasure to wash over her body. While she was still on her pleasure high he slid into her body and started pounding into her as hard as he could. She was in heaven it felt so good neither one of them wanted it to ever end. They both had there arms wrapped around each other digging their nails into each others backs. In the heat of their passion they were biteing and causeing each other injuries that somehow added to the pleasure they were feeling. They eached caused the other to cum so many times that soon niether one of them could move. So they fell asleep rapped tightly in each others arms.
The next morning Mara and Miroku were woken up by a outraged growl that was so loud it was almost a howl. "Well I gess Sesshomaru has found out where the two of us were last night." Miroku muttered as he nuzzled his mates neck licking the pleasure inflicted wounds on her neck shoulders and back. They quickly pulled apart and slipped on some lose clouthes. "What Miroku you thought he would not get serious." "Well I see you have gotten braver but sence you are talking back to me I will have to teach you a lesson about the place of females." "What is wolves and domenence plus I know you would never hurt me." "You are right I would never hurt you but Kouga has told me a weakness you have that you can not protect against." "What he did not tell you that" she cried as she tried to get away from him knowing what was comeing. He ran his claws along her stomache down her sides and behind her knee. She bucked as she screamed for him to stop between the fits of giggles. Finaly he got her pinned to the bed and she said "I am going to kill kona for telling you about my sensitive skin you do reilize that I will find a way to torture you." Soon they were wrestleing again with Mara trying to pin Miroku but he had clearly become a lot stronger then he was last time she saw him. Suddenly he heard footsteps she took advantage of his concentration lasp and flipped him pinning him to the bed. Leaning into his lips and captureing them in a deep love and need filled kiss. At that moment Sesshomaru Inuyasha and Kouga came brusting through the doors. They all yelled something about not sticking their tounges down each others throats when they knew people were comeing. Mara was so starled by the noise they made that she fell off Miroku and the bed hitting her head on the floor.
"Why are you mad Sesshoru you were going to tell the others at the end of the gathe....." Suddenly Mara stopped talking she was pissed. "You were never planing on telling on anyone about my mate! I can not beleave that you put me through hell for no reason!" Now it was Kagomes turn "you three had better end this gathering and tell the gests all the things they need to know. By tommarow it had better be done Miroku and Kouga had better be on their way east to get the pack ready to meet his mate and pup." The males just nodded dumbly not wanting to piss the females off any more then they already were. The gathering ended without any more trouble. Mara was very very angry and she was not letting of that anger go As a result it was getting worse by the second. Kouga and Miroku had promised to be back at the castle by the time the pup was suposed to be born.
CHAPTER 33:PUPS AND SAFTY
The next four mounths passed without insedent unless you cout the fact that Mara would not even look at Sesshomaru. Not to mention the very violent youkai and part hanyou mood swings that resulted in bodily harm for certin males. Inuyasha went to get Lady kaede about a week before Kagome and Lia were expected to give birth. Mara was convinced that her little brother only volenteered so that he could get away from the three violent expecting females. Mara would be helping Lady Kaede deliver the pups due to the fact she had been taught by her mother what to do.
One day came running up to her aunt "auntie Mara mommy needs you Rin's new brother or sister is comeing. Mara went to Kagome's chambers and shooed her brothers out of the room. Then she went to Kagome's side. The young miko was screaming about how she was going to kill the bastard that did this to her. Mara had to fight to keep from laughing she had only been present at one other birth and that was Inuyasha's. Her father had insisted that she be in the room so that he knew that no harm would come to his human mate or his youngest pup. She remebered how Yasha's mother had yelled and screamed to Mara's surprise Kagome was saying many of the same things that Yasha's mother had. Mara and Inuyasha were both told many times that Mara had been the first to hold Inuyasha and she had called him her Yasha. So that became the second part of his name it was also why when his mother died Inuyasha had come to live with Mara and Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru was paceing up and down the hall way outside the room where his mate was. He was visibely flinch at the volume of her voice not to mention some of the things she was saying. He now understood what his father had gone through when his half-brother had been born. Soon there was one final wall shaking howl of pain fallowed by complete silence. Suddenly Mara appeared holding a tiny white bundel. "Sesshomaru I have someone I want you to meet" she said handing the pup to him. "Meet your daughter your mate has said her name is Kyrana & if you know what is good for you do not argue. Yasha can you go see if you can find Kouga his pup will most likely be here very soon and I do not want to be the one that has to tell Lia that he is not hear." Inuyasha nodded and left to find out where the wolf was. "Can I see my mate?" "Yes Sesshomaru come with me." When they entered the room Kagome held out her armsfor her pup wich her mate hadden to her. Mara went about laying blankets in a cradle that was in the conor near the head of the huge bed where Kagome now rested. "Have you told her yet Mar?" "No I have not Sesshomaru." "Told me what is something wrong?" "No Kagome nothing is wrong he wants me to tell you that sence your pup is a youkai by the time she is a year old she will look like she is five. Then she will start to age slower not as slow as humans but still slower then the first year. Now get out of here Sesshomaru and let your mate and pup rest. It is not everyday someone has a pup or is born so go."
Two days later they all went through the same thing all over again. Only this time it was twin boys that both looked just like their father. Kouga and Lia named one Liyen in honor of Lia's father and the other Kouta in honor of Kouga's father. After the wolf pups were born was when Miroku learned of the way youkai and hanyou children age. By the time the twins reached a year in age their parents would be able to tell if either of them was a silver wolf. Allthough Mara had a feeling that if the twins were not silver wolves at least one of the pups Lia would end up bearing would turn out to be a white or silver wolf.
Two mounths later it was Inuyasha's turn to have a nervous breakdown. Miroku started to laugh uncontrolably when Sango screamed "Inuyasha if you ever do this to me again I am going to rip of your ears not to mention some other very important patrs." "The hanyou turned on his friend "just you wait we will see how calm you are and what kind of things get screamed at when it is your turn." "Sorry my friend you may be waiting a long while to see that one." Sango gave birth to a beautiful little girl who they named Reema. It was very clear that when she got older she would look a lot like her father. She had her mother's facial features but her father's ears eyes claws and fangs. She was a hanyou so she would also age difrently by the age of one she would look like she was three years. Then she would start to age like her cousins.
They were all very happy and safe hopefuly this feeling would last for a while. Sesshomaru and Kagome now had three pups that they loved very much. Only Sesshomaru knew where the jewel of four souls was hidden. Sango and Inuyasha not only had a wonderful pup but they also had a home and family that loved them very much. Or at least no longer tried to kill them. Kouga and Lia went back to his lands to lead their pack and raise the twins. They promised to visit as much as they could as did the others. Even Mara and Miroku were once again happy now that he knew more about what he had become they had started to think of a family of their own. Who knew where Mara and Miroku would end up living. All any of them cared about at the moment was that the safe and happy feelings would last forever.

CHAPTER 30: TEMPER
"I can not belive him. He teaches his sons that it is ok to treat members of my family like shit because of what they are. Yet like the rest of the adult youkais here he hopes I will pick one of his sons as my mate." Mara was very upset she could not belive gests in her own home would treat her family like that. Normaly the other gests and their sons would at least pretend to like their host's family to get what they want. "Let it go Mar Mar we are both used to being treated a lot worse then that" said as he watched his sister pace back and forth across the balcony. He was begining to think she was going to have a nervous breakdown. "You know that is how I have always been treated." "Yes Mara we are both used to it being a youkai exterminator and a human results in youkais not likeing me very much." "I know the to of you are treated like that a lot but that still does not make it right!"
"What the hells are you screaming about Mara?" "Oh hello kona, Lia it is nothing some of the other gest are just being assholes to Yasha and Sango." "You are Inuyasha" said Lia. She had not seen him since he was a very young pup. "Wow you have grown a lot since the last time I saw you." "Uh who the hell are you. (pause) Oww what was that for Mara" he said rubbing the large knot forming on the back of his head. "Watch that mouth of yours Yasha. Please don't tell me you have forgoten my cousin Lia." "That hurts little one you used to fallow us around like you were atached to our tails." "Do not call me that and of corse I remeber you. How are you what are you doing with that wimpy wolf" said Inuyasha as he moved to hug Lia causeing Kouga to growl. "Back off mutt-face she is with me because I am corting her." Now it was Sango's turn to talk "you knew my mate as a pup." "Yes the three of us did everything together. Even some things we..." "Stop right there Lia you two do not need to tell Sango any of the things we did when we were younger." "Oh yes they do Mara Lia we will have to talk later." "You can count on it Sango." By this time Inuyasha was as red as his fire rat furs. "Ok that is enough out of you two please" he begged Mara and Lia.
"Sorry to interupt this reuion but Samara you need to get back in there now and stop threating our gests." Sesshomaru had come up behind his sister and warned her out her temper. "Hai Sesshomaru but they deserved it." "I know I heard what they said it will be taken care of later. But please start at least talking to some of the young ones. If you don't there is going to be problems." "Fine but I am not danceing." "Oh yes you are if I have to so do you" Sesshomaru said as he lead her back into the ballroom and started to dance with her. She danced with him for a while but then a young youkai asked to cut in and she had no choice but to dance with him. At least they were no longer the only ones danceing. After danceing with him for a while she excused herself and went to find Kagome. On the way she saw Miroku he looked good. He was wearing his nicest new furs and armor. The armor was black and the furs were a very dark silvery grey color. His hiar was in a low ponytail. Because he had not been near Mara for more then a few minutes in the past moon cycle the mark on his forhead was no longer there It would not be visible until it was made publicly known that Mara had taken him as a mate. She moved on quickly so that Miroku would not see her.
Miroku was going nuts he had been flirted with more time then he could count. He had finaly escaped to the garden where he could be alone for a few minutes. Suddenly he was aware of Kouga drawing near to where he was standing. "How are you holding up Miroku? I see you escaped the mobb for now." "Hai I have Kouga-sama" he said bowing slightly. "Who is your beautiful friend" he said as he inclined his head to the wolf standing by Kouga. "This is Lady Lia she is the adopted daughter of Lord Tyen. She is also cousin to Lord Sesshomaru and Princess Samara. Lia this is Miroku he is my blood brother and one of those that was involved in the defeat of Naraku." The two said hello and Kouga told Miroku that he was corting Lia. With the blessing of the princess of course. "That is good news Kouga but I thought you were courting the princess" said Miroku. He just smiled as Kouga said that it had not worked out between him and the princess.
Suddenly Mara walked up to the three wolves. "Kona Ginta and Hagguku need to speak with you." "Thank you Mara. I will see you later Miroku. Are you comeing Lia?" With that Lia and Kouga walked off to find the other wolves. Leaving Mara and Miroku alone in the rose garden. He was not even thinking about what he had done until they had gotten back to the ballroom. Suddenly he reilized what he just had done. He quickly went back to the garden and found Miroku alone. "Lia will you go find Mara please I have a feeling she might need to talk to you." "Of corse I will see you later Kouga-sama." She went to leave but was stopped by his hand on her arm. He leaned down to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Please call me Kouga milady." With that he let her go and waited until she was out of sight. "Please tell me you did not do anything stupid." "Of corse I didn't I realy do not feel like getting killed." "So what happened when I left the two of you alone." "Nothing we said goodnight and then she walked off I think she was crying." "I can understand why this is going to very hard for her. Not only is she not allowed near you but she also has to deal with her little brother haveing a mate." "Yeah and not to mention the fact you are corting her cousin." The two continued to talk as they walked around the gardens.
Lia had found Mara in her private library. She had been crying and was very unhappy but she would not tell Lia why. She settled down to have a long talk with her cousin. This night was far from over.
CHAPTER 31: LOSING CONTROL
"Come on Mara tell me what is wrong I do not like to see you upset." "I can't it has been forbidden from design. Please do not make me tell you." "Does this have something with you not having a mate. Or the fact that your brother is all but forcing you to take one?" Mara just looked at the wolf trying to decide what to do. Slowly she lifted her hair away from her neck. Lia gasped as she saw the two marks on the left side of Mara's neck. After she stared a Mara for a long time she spoke. "Oh gods you have been claimed. Do your brothers know? Does Kouga? Am I just a back up because he can not have you? Who is it?"
"Woah Lia breath yes kona and my brothers know. As do my brother's mates and Sesshomaru's pups. Of course you are not a back up for kona. He relay cares for you in fact I think he may be in love with you. As for who my mate is I can not tell you just yet but you have met him at least once. I must ask you not to tell anyone Sesshomaru wants him to see what it is like to have to win the affections of a mate." "I promise I will not tell anyone but you do realize that rumors are going to start that we are up to no good."
"Yes I know you know I am relay starting to think that start rumors and try to ruin the happiness of others are the only thing youkais know how to do." "Well you should be used to it by now" Lia said as she looked at her cousin. The wolf could tell that she was up to something and Lia knew that Mara's idea almost always lead to trouble. "What are you thinking Mara or do I even want to know?" "We could help those rumors spread and rid ourselves of a lot of unwanted attention." Lia cringed as she asked "how" knowing that she was not going to like the answer. "Well it is rather simple we go for a walk in the garden near one of those stupid youkai princes. Then we make it look like we are having a fight. No one will want anything to do with us they all know our tempers." "Your brother would kill us because that would make this family seem even more insane and volatile." "Which one are you speaking of." "Both not to mention Kouga and your mate. Messing up the gathering that introduces the lady of the western lands would make Sesshomaru very very angry and think you a huge descrase. Worse then your mother did when your father mated a human. No I am not going to help you descrase your family any further." "Watch it Lia" "Mara growled causing the girl to jump she had a feeling she had just started a fight not meaning to. "I liked Inuyasha's mother she was one of the kindest souls I have ever known."
By this time Mara was so angry that she walked out of the library leaving Lia to stare after. "What are you getting so mad at all I did was mention the fact that your brother and mother thought your family was descraced." "Don't you ever talk about my family like that. I love my little brother who cares if he is a hanyou. My mother was cold and uncaring just like Sesshomaru. I relay do not find it a surprise that my father left her." "Yes I agree with you auntie could be awful but picking a human." "She was kinder to me then anyone else she even accepted the fact that I have the ability to become human. She treated me like a daughter after my mother went and got herself kill and then again after my father was killed. It feels like Inuyasha is my twin not Sesshomaru." By this time she was screaming and had caught the attention of a young prince who was hiding well he listened to their fight. "The others were right you are a freak caring more for your father's whore then your own mother. You even accept their freakish child that should have been killed when it was born. You should be ashamed of yourself only weak fools would ever think what your father did was honorable." She was yelling just as loudly as Mara.
Both girls had primal hatred burning in their eyes. Suddenly Mara let out a scream that could make the blood of the devil himself run cold and leapt at the wolfs slender neck. Mara tackled the startled wolf and held her to the ground her claws boring holes into her neck. She did not even notice the blood that had begun to pool around her fingers and ran down to wear her wrist met the girl's neck. Lia was scared to death she had never seen Mara act like this. She knew that Mara had lost all control of her sanity. Her eyes had started to turn completely red and had begun to glow. She tried to say something but all that came out was a strangled whimper of pain. She was going to die she was sure of it and she wished for unconsioness. Both girls heard the rustling of a bush as the young youkai ran into the ballroom to tell everyone what he had just witnessed.
Lia had managed to pry Mara's fingers just lose enough so that she could breath. Her body was trembling in fear and at the pain in her neck. 'If I live through this I am never going to piss her off again' she thought as she closed her eyes. Suddenly she heard a trio of snarls and the weight on her chest lessened and she felt herself being lifted off the ground. As she opened her eyes she saw Mara slumped in Inuyasha's arms she had been knocked out could. Lia looked up to see that she was being carried by Kouga her, her youkai blood had already started to heal the wounds in her neck. "Kouga" she said in a horse whisper. "Shh Lia do not try to talk for a few more minutes," said Kouga as he nuzzled the side of her face. The three males were bringing the females to Sessomaru's library. When they got their Inuyasha laid his sister on the couch after Miroku had gotten up. Kouga sat Lia down in a chair and they all waited.
Sesshomaru was way beyond pissed off he had never thought that Mara would hurt Lia like this. She had never lost control like that and though he would not admit it. The fact of the matter was it had scared him very badly. He did not want to lose his sister and if her sanity slipped he would be force to kill her. While they were waiting for Mara to wake Sesshomaru kicked the youkai and his sons that had caused the trouble earlier out of his castle. Then he told the northern lord that he was no longer welcome. It was his son that had seen Mara and Lia of course no one believed him because they all knew about him trying to kill the princess and her friend. After they had all gone with the northern lord apologizing again that meant that all of the guests from the north had left. But there was still many guests' left he told them all that the party was over but that there would be much more to do over the next week.
He went back to the library and found that Lia's neck had almost completely healed. At that moment Mara woke up as she started to move Inuyasha grabbed her and moved so his arms were around waist holding her in place. "Now, WHAT THE HELLS HAPPENED" yelled Sesshomaru as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I do not remember," said Mara quietly as she looked at the blood that covered her hands, which had begun to shake violently. "Sesshomaru it was my fault I said some things ti Mara that I shouldn't have and we got into a fight." "Come here Lia" Sesshomaru said calmly placing a hand on her head as she came up to him. He used what little mind reading powers he shared with his sister. "Oh my gods you didn't no wonder she tried to kill you." Mara was suddenly hit with the memories of what she had done. "Oh gods I could have killed you and I would have if..." She trailed off as Kouga and Miroku both said. "Well you didn't do any percent damage." Mara and Lia told the others what had happened between them. "Mara can you ever forgive me I should have never said those thins." "I forgive you but how can you ever forgive me for atacking you. Why did you say those things anyway?" "I guess it is because you have something I have always wanted but never had. A family of my own blood that loved me and would protect me no matter what. Even though you and Sesshomaru do not always get along he always protects you in his own way." After all the apologies were done and accepted the group separated for the night to go to sleep. Except for Mara and Sesshomaru they needed to talk.
"Sesshomaru I need you to promise me something very important." "Yes Mar what is it." "If that ever happens again were I lose control and try to kill someone. I want you to stop me any way necessary." "What are you saying you do not mean." "Yes I do if that ever happens again I want you to kill me. I knew what I was doing I could see the fear on Lia's face. But I did not care I was squeezing the life out of one of my best friends and I could not have cared less. It relay scared me all I wanted to do was feel her neck snap in my hands." By this time she had snuk to her knees and was crying uncontrollably. Sesshomaru pulled her into his lap rocking her back and forth trying to calm her down. "I promise" he whispered in her ear. "But it is never going to happen you are getting so much stronger."
After they were done talking Sesshomaru brought is sister to his chabers and she slept in the chair by the fireplace. He did not want to leave her alone she was still very scared. He did trust that she was in control of her self but he did not want to take any chances. After she was asleep he went to talk to Kouga and Miroku. "So that was interesting was it not" said Miroku. "Yes it was she is absolutly terified Kouga do you think this will change her permently." I am not sure Sesshomaru I do not think so the problem has been fixed and forgiven. Normaly that would be the end of it." The one thing they all agreed on was the fact that this had not been expected. "I talked to Lia she relay is sorry for what she did. She honestly did not mean to upset her." "I know I already went to talk to her before I came to talk tot you." Soon the entire castle was asleep waiting for the next day.
CHAPTER 32:MORE GOOD NEWS
Mara was finaly asleep she had been up all night talking to her kona. He was very nervous because he was planing to take Lia as his mate later that night. Although her mind was telling her he would not last more then a few hours. The gathering had gone very well so far now it was almost over. As a sign of wanting to have alinences with the western lands all of the other lords ordered all jewel shards in the lands be turned over to Lady Kagome. The jewel was almost completed Kagome just had to talk to Kouga and get him to give her his shards.
A few short hours later Rin and Shippo came into Mara's room and asked her to come outside with them. Soon she sat with the children in the garden. Shippo was sitting near her feet and Rin was curled up in her lap. Both pups were silently listening to her sing to them in a strange and very old tounge. It was the same song she had sung to Yasha when he was a small pup. Suddenly three very excited females came up to her she knew they all had news for her and she knew what it was but she wanted to let them tell her. First Kagome spoke "the jewel is completed. Sesshomaru has it hidden somewhere that only he knows about. He is going to help me protect it from those who want to use it for evil or greedy purposes. OH and I am going to have Sesshomaru's pup I am pregnant!" Next was Sango's turn "I am also with child Inu and I are going to have a pup." "Finaly it was Lia's turn "Kouga has made me his mate." "I knew he could not wait until tonight and Lia you are also with child." The young wolf squeald with joy and went to run off to tell her mate. "Wait I need to tell you all something Kagome and Lia your pups will be born in three mounths and Sango's will be born in for mounths because of your youkai blood the leanth of the pregnacy will be diffrent then human pregnacies." So Lia made to leave but only after she told Mara that she was going to tell Miroku what was going on. She had figured out they were mates and wanted to meet the male that had won the heart of her best friend. Then Sango and Kagome left with the pups to tell their mates the good news.
Mara was left alone again and her heart started to hurt terribly. Although she was happy for the girls their news had brought back some of the memories that she wanted to forget. She once again felt that familer feeling that felt like part of her body had been taken away from her. She needed to be with the only one who coul make her feel whole. 'Fuck it' she thought 'I need Miroku and I need him now.' So she went to find her mate knowing that her twin brother was not going to be happy but at the moment she did not care. All she needed, cared about, or wanted was the touch of her mate.
It did not take long for her to find Miroku he was sitting with a group of youkai. The group included Hagguku Ginta Miroku and Tylan. She walked up to them making sure they did not notice her. She watched and listened to them talk for a while and then she walked up to them and asked if she was interupting anything. After they all told her that she was not they asked her if she wished to sit with them. She accepted and sat between Ginta and Miroku. After making small talk for a little while she figured that she had waited long enough. Suddenly with one quick movement she grabbed Miroku by the top of his aromor and pulled him into an earth shaking, heart stopping, soul searing kiss. Then she got up and walked toward her chambers. "Miroku you dumbass get up and fallow her that means she wants you to be her mate" Ginta told him. Miroku quickly rose and took off after the girl. While the other youkais just stared with their mouths hanging open.
Soon Miroku and Mara were alone in their chambers he asked her "do you wish me to tell and show you what I learned?" "No Miroku please I just want to fuck until we are so weak we will not be able to move for days. Please can we not be mates and just be slaves to passion for now. I need to feel you inside me now, make love to me or just screw me. I do not realy care what you do to my body at the moment I just need you." Miroku was shocked he had never heard her like this "I will do as you wish my love but please tell me you want and missed me for me and not the sex." As he said this outloud he was thinking 'what the fuck am I saying.' (what have I done he dose not want to take advantage of a girl) He looked into her eyes brushing the hair that had come lose away from her eyes. She looked back into his eyes and told him that she needed him and she loved him more then ever. She slowly ran her hands over his body as they removed each others clouths. All his marks were back and her lips latched onto the mark on his neck. Mara allowed herself to be pushed onto the bed she screamed her mates name as his tounge entered her body. He teased her on purpose by going fast and then slowing down. This caused her to moan and writhe in torment. Soon she came her inner muscles clentching around his tounge causeing him to moan. The moan caused a tickelish feeling aginst her heat which resulted in another stronger stream of pleasure to wash over her body. While she was still on her pleasure high he slid into her body and started pounding into her as hard as he could. She was in heaven it felt so good neither one of them wanted it to ever end. They both had there arms wrapped around each other digging their nails into each others backs. In the heat of their passion they were biteing and causeing each other injuries that somehow added to the pleasure they were feeling. They eached caused the other to cum so many times that soon niether one of them could move. So they fell asleep rapped tightly in each others arms.
The next morning Mara and Miroku were woken up by a outraged growl that was so loud it was almost a howl. "Well I gess Sesshomaru has found out where the two of us were last night." Miroku muttered as he nuzzled his mates neck licking the pleasure inflicted wounds on her neck shoulders and back. They quickly pulled apart and slipped on some lose clouthes. "What Miroku you thought he would not get serious." "Well I see you have gotten braver but sence you are talking back to me I will have to teach you a lesson about the place of females." "What is wolves and domenence plus I know you would never hurt me." "You are right I would never hurt you but Kouga has told me a weakness you have that you can not protect against." "What he did not tell you that" she cried as she tried to get away from him knowing what was comeing. He ran his claws along her stomache down her sides and behind her knee. She bucked as she screamed for him to stop between the fits of giggles. Finaly he got her pinned to the bed and she said "I am going to kill kona for telling you about my sensitive skin you do reilize that I will find a way to torture you." Soon they were wrestleing again with Mara trying to pin Miroku but he had clearly become a lot stronger then he was last time she saw him. Suddenly he heard footsteps she took advantage of his concentration lasp and flipped him pinning him to the bed. Leaning into his lips and captureing them in a deep love and need filled kiss. At that moment Sesshomaru Inuyasha and Kouga came brusting through the doors. They all yelled something about not sticking their tounges down each others throats when they knew people were comeing. Mara was so starled by the noise they made that she fell off Miroku and the bed hitting her head on the floor.
"Why are you mad Sesshoru you were going to tell the others at the end of the gathe....." Suddenly Mara stopped talking she was pissed. "You were never planing on telling on anyone about my mate! I can not beleave that you put me through hell for no reason!" Now it was Kagomes turn "you three had better end this gathering and tell the gests all the things they need to know. By tommarow it had better be done Miroku and Kouga had better be on their way east to get the pack ready to meet his mate and pup." The males just nodded dumbly not wanting to piss the females off any more then they already were. The gathering ended without any more trouble. Mara was very very angry and she was not letting of that anger go As a result it was getting worse by the second. Kouga and Miroku had promised to be back at the castle by the time the pup was suposed to be born.
CHAPTER 33:PUPS AND SAFTY
The next four mounths passed without insedent unless you cout the fact that Mara would not even look at Sesshomaru. Not to mention the very violent youkai and part hanyou mood swings that resulted in bodily harm for certin males. Inuyasha went to get Lady kaede about a week before Kagome and Lia were expected to give birth. Mara was convinced that her little brother only volenteered so that he could get away from the three violent expecting females. Mara would be helping Lady Kaede deliver the pups due to the fact she had been taught by her mother what to do.
One day came running up to her aunt "auntie Mara mommy needs you Rin's new brother or sister is comeing. Mara went to Kagome's chambers and shooed her brothers out of the room. Then she went to Kagome's side. The young miko was screaming about how she was going to kill the bastard that did this to her. Mara had to fight to keep from laughing she had only been present at one other birth and that was Inuyasha's. Her father had insisted that she be in the room so that he knew that no harm would come to his human mate or his youngest pup. She remebered how Yasha's mother had yelled and screamed to Mara's surprise Kagome was saying many of the same things that Yasha's mother had. Mara and Inuyasha were both told many times that Mara had been the first to hold Inuyasha and she had called him her Yasha. So that became the second part of his name it was also why when his mother died Inuyasha had come to live with Mara and Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru was paceing up and down the hall way outside the room where his mate was. He was visibely flinch at the volume of her voice not to mention some of the things she was saying. He now understood what his father had gone through when his half-brother had been born. Soon there was one final wall shaking howl of pain fallowed by complete silence. Suddenly Mara appeared holding a tiny white bundel. "Sesshomaru I have someone I want you to meet" she said handing the pup to him. "Meet your daughter your mate has said her name is Kyrana & if you know what is good for you do not argue. Yasha can you go see if you can find Kouga his pup will most likely be here very soon and I do not want to be the one that has to tell Lia that he is not hear." Inuyasha nodded and left to find out where the wolf was. "Can I see my mate?" "Yes Sesshomaru come with me." When they entered the room Kagome held out her armsfor her pup wich her mate hadden to her. Mara went about laying blankets in a cradle that was in the conor near the head of the huge bed where Kagome now rested. "Have you told her yet Mar?" "No I have not Sesshomaru." "Told me what is something wrong?" "No Kagome nothing is wrong he wants me to tell you that sence your pup is a youkai by the time she is a year old she will look like she is five. Then she will start to age slower not as slow as humans but still slower then the first year. Now get out of here Sesshomaru and let your mate and pup rest. It is not everyday someone has a pup or is born so go."
Two days later they all went through the same thing all over again. Only this time it was twin boys that both looked just like their father. Kouga and Lia named one Liyen in honor of Lia's father and the other Kouta in honor of Kouga's father. After the wolf pups were born was when Miroku learned of the way youkai and hanyou children age. By the time the twins reached a year in age their parents would be able to tell if either of them was a silver wolf. Allthough Mara had a feeling that if the twins were not silver wolves at least one of the pups Lia would end up bearing would turn out to be a white or silver wolf.
Two mounths later it was Inuyasha's turn to have a nervous breakdown. Miroku started to laugh uncontrolably when Sango screamed "Inuyasha if you ever do this to me again I am going to rip of your ears not to mention some other very important patrs." "The hanyou turned on his friend "just you wait we will see how calm you are and what kind of things get screamed at when it is your turn." "Sorry my friend you may be waiting a long while to see that one." Sango gave birth to a beautiful little girl who they named Reema. It was very clear that when she got older she would look a lot like her father. She had her mother's facial features but her father's ears eyes claws and fangs. She was a hanyou so she would also age difrently by the age of one she would look like she was three years. Then she would start to age like her cousins.
They were all very happy and safe hopefuly this feeling would last for a while. Sesshomaru and Kagome now had three pups that they loved very much. Only Sesshomaru knew where the jewel of four souls was hidden. Sango and Inuyasha not only had a wonderful pup but they also had a home and family that loved them very much. Or at least no longer tried to kill them. Kouga and Lia went back to his lands to lead their pack and raise the twins. They promised to visit as much as they could as did the others. Even Mara and Miroku were once again happy now that he knew more about what he had become they had started to think of a family of their own. Who knew where Mara and Miroku would end up living. All any of them cared about at the moment was that the safe and happy feelings would last forever.
