The Rain Has No Mercy

Chapter 6: The Quartered Bloodline

Inu Yasha wrapped himself around Kagome, trying to hush her soft cries. He had finally marked her, but he knew he was not finished. When her tears subsided and the moans were soft, he entwined his lips with hers, and muffled her voice in his embrace. She kissed him back in a frenzy and let him have her for the rest of the night.

Inu Yasha awoke with Kagome wrapped in his arms, the scent of their lovemaking filling the air. He smiled to himself and watched his exhausted mate rest. Her pale, cream-colored skin was covered in a thick coat of sweat and her raven tresses was matted to her chest with it. His eyes danced along her body as they studied the her, but the fixation with the mark on her neck was irresistible. The red, whip-shaped scar reminded him of the events from before and he blushed fiercely. But there was no reason to blush. He had a new mate and soon new pups that would call him "Papa". It was strange to imagine at first, but when he thought hard enough, he could see the perfect image of his kin in his mind. It suddenly felt anxious for their coming. And again, he got what he wished for a few months later.

The birth had been unexpected, especially since they were little 1/4 demons. Yoaki's pregnancy was very short, and because of Inu Yasha being a hanyou and the father, the gestation period was also short. Kagome had some trouble, but he was with her the whole time.

He smiled and made a soft cooing sound as he looked at the small batch of pups that lay pressed up against their mother's side. Three boys and two girls. He quickly nuzzled Kagome and reached down to stroke each pup.

Anisan, the largest male pup looked exactly like his father. With two puppy ears, clawed fingertips, long silver hair, and fangs, Kagome was a little afraid that none of her traits had been given to the small pup. But the first day he opened his eyes, she saw the same ocean-blue eyes as hers, and grinned.

Atarashii, the second male had all his father's traits besides his silver hair and tan skin. The child had gray, smoke colored ears and jet black hair. His flesh was pale like his mother's and his eyes were jade-green. He looked slightly silly at first, but Kagome and Inu-yasha grew accustomed to his strange coloring.

Hoshi, the runt of the litter, was almost identical to that of his eldest brother, Anisan. But something was very different about Hoshi. He did not have puppy dog ears, but instead he had a long silver tail. He also had one blue eye and one golden eye. He was very special, and although Inu Yasha refused to play favorites, Hoshi would always have something that the others did not.

Imoto, the youngest female had gray hair and black ears. She had huge, topaz eyes that shined like porcelain and her claws were longer than the boy's.

Sakura, the female in the middle got her name from her silver hair with a few highlights of pink in it. She had long pink nails and elf-like ears like her uncle and a face that looked exactly like Sesshoumaru's too. Boy did that freak him out.

"Okay guys," He called through the small hut, waking each child. Their sensitive hearing burst with the sound of a new day. "Time to go out and play!"

The hanyou strolled into the child's room and greeted each of them with kisses on the forehead. Picking up Hoshi to make sure the child was not trampled by the other children, he watched with fetching eyes as each of them burst from the house and out to play, Anisan in the lead as usual. He had forgotten about his smallest son who was still in his arms, but then was thrown back into reality when the child started kicking and squirming in his grip.

"Dad!" he whined, looking up at him with his gold and blue eyes. "I wanna go play!"

"Alright, alright, Hoshi," He laughed, setting down his son and watching as he joined his siblings.

"Okay, everyone!" Shouted Anisan when Hoshi came down to join the group. "We're playing tag and Hoshi's IT!"

Each child bolted from their runt brother's side and kept a far distance away from him every time he tried to follow. The small child tried the best he could, but he could not kid himself nor his father that he could keep up. It was time for Inu Yasha to step in when the rest of the quarter demons began to tease poor Hoshi.

"Anisan," he grumbled, walking over to him. "You know Hoshi can't play as well as you. Why do you tease him?"

Then, before he knew it, the clever little pup smacked him on the rump.

"Now you're IT!" He squeaked as he ran screeching from his father.

The large hanyou sighed, but gave into the little game. He first went after Anisan and stayed at his heels until he broke off and trailed Atarashii. The black-haired, gray-eared fourth demon was a tricky lad and stopped abruptly, dropping to the ground and squealing as his confused father ran right over him. Atarshii then fled out of his father's way. Next to run from Inu-yasha was Imoto who ran in zig-zags and confusing paths to try and throw off her father. But he was quick and matched each move, even though he was playing 'daddy tag'. After he had, had his fun with Imoto, Inu Yasha was about to go after Sakura but watched as she strolled into the house without even noticing his attempt to tag her.

It was not that he didn't like the girl, but he knew she did not get as much attention as the other pups. And it was only because she looked like Sesshoumaru. Shrugging and quickly tagging Anisan, he continued to play with the children.

Sakura made her way through the house until she had found her mother who was reading a book. Kagome didn't notice as the girl came in, but Sakura quickly let her know.

"Hey mommy!" Sakura shouted in Kagome's ear, causing the young mother to jump out of her seat in terror, and then realized it was not Sesshoumaru. "I'm bored."

"W-well why aren't you playing with your brother's and sisters?" Kagome stuttered slightly, still a little shaken. "Why aren't you playing with your father?"

"Because he hate's me."

"What?!" Kagome chided, looking down at the strange girl with a little anger. "Your father loves you! Why would you say something as terrible as that?!"

"Because, Mom!" Sakura matched her mother's tone and volume. "You can't smell anger or disgust or contempt like I can! Every time he looks at me, I can smell it! He hates me!"

Kagome sighed heavily. "It's not that he hates you," she said softly, taking her little girl's hand in her own. "It's just that . . . well . . ." Kagome sighed again and decided she'd have to tell her. "You look like . . . Sesshoumaru."

"What?" the small girl said quite sourly. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Kagome tried not to be angry at the girl, but it just seemed like her nature to do so.

"Sesshoumaru is Daddy's half-brother," Kagome began, taking her little girl in her lap. "And they've been feuding over everything since Daddy's been born. You see, Sesshoumaru is a bad man. He once tried to kill your father and me once . . ."

Kagome continued with her story and what else she knew about him, hoping the little girl might understand. But even though Sakura listened to every word, she did not seem moved at all. In fact, she seemed to take a liking to Sesshoumaru.
