Inuyasha: Ok ready to go type away!

Jiro: Why are you so happy?

Inuyasha: Because I got a mate and... I got a mate!

Jiro: Well isn't it a miracle. Thank the Lord, he's off of our backs! *Raises hands to the sky*

Me: Yeah I know, tell me about it.

Inuyasha: *sarcastically* Thanks guys I love you too.

Me: Oh we're just joking calm down.

~* Chapter 8: Pitter-Patter *~

*Two and a half months later*

Kakane was now heavy with child as she walked with her daughter and her friends to the market. Rin was growing very excited to see the new pups. There were now a few other surprises too.

"Ow, my feet hurt a lot. And my back is killing me. Do you know how hard it is to carry yourself gracefully when you're carrying these?" She gestured towards her very large stomach."

"Tell me about it. Sango you're lucky!" Kagome was now also pregnant. Though she was only two months along, she looked as if she were five months in a human's time. Sango was also pregnant but again was only two months so she was only bulging a bit. Like a little bit of a pouch but that's it.

"Yeah sure I'm lucky. I have to carry it longer and it will be just as heavy as your are now."

"But just think about it, we'll have ¾ demons, ¼ demons and human children running around the house. Five of which are mine! But Rin is my little helper, aren't you Rin?"

"Yup, I want to feed them!"

"Oh I'm sorry but that's job only I will be able to do Rin, but what about diapers?"

"Oh, ok!"

Sango looked at Kagome and they then looked at Kakane and Rin. "You're lucky too, Kakane. You're going into this with experience. We'll be clueless!"

"No you won't. You're going to help me with my pups right?"

Then Sango spoke up. "I guess you're right."

They went to the market for vegetable and fruits. They got what they needed and headed back to the castle. When they got there they saw Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Miroku and Shippo playing with a cloth ball they made. They were on teams and the young kitsune, who was just about Rin's age (A/N: just about 6 years old) was playing on Sesshoumaru's team. Kakane saw them and smirked at the other girls. They grinned back at her. Kakane used her demon agility to run between them, grab the ball, and give Sesshoumaru a quick kiss on the lips.

"You know you shouldn't be running like that while your pregnant," Sesshoumaru scolded.

"I know but why not? It's exercise!" Kakane gave the best puppy dog eye's she could muster. Obviously it was enough. He smiled and hugged her. Then they went into the kitchen and were followed by Sango and Miroku. Rin was playing with Shippo and the ball.

"Ok what do you wan to cook for dinner?" Miroku was getting the vegetables out and Sango was getting the fruits. Sango looked at Miroku and said, "How about stew?"

"Oh that's a great idea! I've been craving beef stew all day!" Kakane's mouth was watering now.

"Really? Me too!" Sango looked happily at Kakane as Miroku came and hugged her from behind, his hands resting on her stomach.

They all started helping with dinner with the two children played. When dinner was ready, they all ate. The girls talked and the men ate in peace. Rin and Shippo were complaining over who won the game of ball earlier. When they were finished, They all helped clean up. Then Kakane And Sesshoumaru went upstairs to put Rin to bed. Once Rin was asleep, Kagome and Inuyasha put Shippo down, too. When everyone was to bed, Sango crept downstairs. She lit a small fire in the hearth and sat down in front of it. Miroku silently walked up behind her and gave her a big hug. She turned and gave him a kiss.

He came around and sat next to her. "Is anything wrong? You've been coming down here for the past week or so."

Sango looked at her beloved husband. The tears were slowly starting to fall down her cheek. He gave her a big hug and she cried into his shoulder. "Oh Miroku, it's my brother. He didn't deserve to die. And if he was still here, He would be an uncle. My baby won't have an uncle!" She was crying very violently. Miroku didn't know how to comfort her, so he tried his best. "Well the baby will have two uncles. I'm sure Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru would be very good uncles."

"I know they will but they won't have a real blood related uncle." Sango was calming down a bit but then started up again.

Kakane was watching the whole thing from a dark hallway. She silently appeared behind the two. She set her hand on Miroku's shoulder. He looked up at her. She walked around and sat in front of Sango, Her stomach was very large indeed. "Sango you must calm down or you'll hurt the baby. When Sango didn't calm down, she decided she had to help.

Kakane started to sing a slow sad song. Sango stopped crying and listened. It was about her life. Is was very soothing even though it was sad. Sango was listening intently now. She had no one at all. She was complaining about her brother who was probably in a better place anyways. Kakane was singing about a destiny, tainted and intertwined with another's. Then she realized that this was about every one. How every one was lost and found at one point. Sango drifted in a peaceful slumber. Miroku just looked shocked and fearful at what had just happened. He looked at the sleeping woman in his arms.

Kakane rose and started to walk back to the stairs, "Wait," cried Miroku.

"She is fine just sleeping. I had to use my powers to calm her down. She will rest peacefully for the remainder of the night." With that she walked slowly until disappearing into the darkness. Miroku lifted Sango into him arms and carried her back to bed.

As Kakane walked into her room, she started to fall forward. Sesshoumaru heard her and quickly ran and caught her. He brought her back to the bed and laid her down.

* "Kakane Dear, wake up."

"Mother?" She opened her eyes and saw her mother standing over her. "Where am I?" She looked around and didn't recognize where she was.

"You are in the place between life and death."

Kakane felt her eyes water as she bit her lower lip. "Mother I don't want to die! I have to have my pups and to stay and help Sesshoumaru!"

"Relax child, you're not going to die. I brought you here. I'm very disappointed with you, Kakane."

"But why mother? What did I do?" Kakane was dumbstruck.

"You used you're powers. You may have put her mind to rest but you also sped up the pregnancy. Her children will now be born in about five months. I told you not to use them unless you needed to. If Gaishin finds you there will be trouble."

"But mother I thought you killed Gaishin?"

"I almost did but I can sense he is back. When he come to attack you, which he will eventually, Sing that song and touch him. Now listen closely. I know I told you never to do this but, you must find his soul... and break it."

"But mother, if I get pulled into the rip, I will die too!" Kakane couldn't believe what her mother was telling her to do.

"I know, tell your mate about this and be ready. When his soul begins to break walk into the rip."

"WHAT?" Kakane almost screamed

"Just listen. Once you are in you will see a black Sakura Blossom. You must take the blossom out with you."

"But how will I get out? And how will I get him to stay still? And what do I do with the blossom?"

"To get him to hold still, You're companion, Kagome, must focus her energy into her hand and touch his back. He will stay paralyzed until she runs out or energy. You all must start training. To get out take this." With that she was handed a bobbin of silver thread. "Tie this to your finger. Have the person you trust most hold onto the other end. When you have the blossom tug on the thread and that person will pull you out. When you have the blossom, bring it to Sango, She must feel the hatred that is deep in her soul. Then she must come to grips with the fact of why it's there. The energy of the hatred will be purified into a force that will burn the blossom."

"Oh I see."

"Kakane! You must wake up now! Will your soul to wake! You are falling into death and your mate is worried! You're not breathing! NOW, KAKANE!"

With that, Kakane willed with all her might to see Sesshoumaru's face again. *
