Disclaimers: Blah, blah, blah. You guys know the drill! No owny Inyasha characters!
It was several months since Rin and Sesshoumaru had returned home. Sesshoumaru it very clear to all the servants that Rin was not to be put under any form of stress. Of course, Jaken must not of known what that meant as he pledged the poor girl with everything, and continued with his usual name calling.
It was a bright sunny day when Yukana walked by the inner courtyard to find Rin sitting trying to complete her lesson while Jaken berating her for anything and everything. Yukana moved to the shaded porch leaning against one of the post she sat quietly and watched the two. It was clear that Rin was getting upset. Yukana would have interrupted if she really cared what happened to the toad, but she stayed quiet. She had see Rin practicing on some of the lower class demon servants and had even succeed in getting a wild boar out of the compound. Something that either Rin or Yukana had decided to tell Sesshoumaru. Yukana was wondering how long it would take before Rin would try using her 'ability' on Jaken. To tell the truth, Yukana hoped that it was soon.
"Jaken, I'm tired. We've been working for hours. I'm ready for a nap and some food." Rin said putting down her paint brush, absently rubbing her swollen belly. Jaken stopped his passing and ranting.
"I was told to give you a lesson and that's what I'm doing. Now shut up and continue. You're not going anywhere until you get this lesson right." Jaken swung around ready to hit Rin over the head when his body suddenly stopped responding to his commands. The two-headed staff flew from his hands into Rin's outstretched hand. Jaken's eyes grew as large as plates.
"I said I'm tired and hungry." She growled, her eye twitching. Jaken's body jerked as he tried to fight her hold on him. However, it was clear that Rin had had enough. Rin found that now she had Jaken in her hold, she wanted to see how far she could control him. Turning slight for she had felt Yukana's mind presence the moment that she entered the small courtyard, she smiled.
"Would you like something cool to drink?" Rin asked cheerfully. Stunned Yukana just nodded. She watched as Jaken jerkily walked away. She sat there as Rin stood making her way up the stone path to her. Plopping down beside Yukana, Rin's eyes still slightly glazed, shifted uncomfortably for a few moments.
"How much longer will he be gone?" Rin asked sadly. Yukana threw her arm around the other girl's shoulders trying to comfort her. Rin hated it when Sesshoumaru wouldn't let her go with him. She hated sleeping in their bed alone. It wasn't but a few weeks ago that Sango, Kagome's friend, sent her a firecat kitten. She would snuggle up with her, later named Abrui when she ate all Sesshoumaru's fried tofu, at night she still felt lonely. She also grew more nervous as her due date drew near. Sesshoumaru seemed to keep disappearing more frequently and stayed away longer. Rin was beginning to feel depressed and alone.
"The message said he was coming home within the next few days. I'm sure he misses you very much." She paused do to the fact that Jaken was reentering the courtyard with a large silver tray in his hands.
And that's just how Sesshoumaru found them later that night. Yukana and Rin sipping tea with empty dishes all around them signaling to him that they had eaten there. But what surprised him the most was that Jaken was dancing and singing, rather off tone, in the torchlight.
"M.Milord! Stop them, please!" Jaken begged spotting his master. "Make her stop!" He wailed then suddenly started singing again. Both women stopped laughing to turn and look up at Sesshoumaru. He just raised his eyebrow already guessing at what was going on. Rin, however, jumped from where she was sitting and threw herself into his arms. Behind her Jaken fell down wailing about his aching feet.
"Oh, Sesshoumaru, I missed you!" Her eyes started to water up uncontrollably. Leaning down he nuzzled her neck, lightly kissing her mark. He couldn't help but inhale her scent deeply. He hadn't meant to stay away so long, but problems in the south kept him away.
"There's trouble in the south." He said as way of apology. Smiling sadly Rin nodded. Sesshoumaru, taking Rin into his arms, turned to look down at the sputtering toad youkai. "What is going on?" He asked looking from one to the other. Yukana folded her hands behind her head chuckling slightly. When Jaken started trying to sputter an answer, she threw her tea cup at him effectively knocking him out.
"This dumbass here was upsetting Rin with her lesson. So as far as I can tell, she gave him a lesson of her own." It was then when she started to downright laugh. "He's been going since early afternoon. I have to say he can't sing to save his life."
Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin in surprise. She was able to use her abilities like that? He leaned close to her ear worried that it had caused either stress or weariness. He could feel her shiver against him as his breath washed over her. "Tell me about it." His soft voice command.
"Well, Jaken was being mean again so I thought I'd teach him a lesson and I took over his mind." She pouted at the scornful look Sesshoumaru gave her. "I made him go get tea for Yukana and me. Then we needed dinner and so he went and got that as well."
"And when did the singing come in?" Sesshoumaru finding it amazing that Rin was able to control a demon, even a lower class demon, all the way across the mansion.
"Yukana said it was to quiet." Rin said blushing, her arms wrapping about her stomach. Sesshoumaru looked over at Yukana.
"I really don't know what you're talking about." She said picking up the two-headed staff and making her way out the side door with Jaken not to far behind. Rin sighed deeply thankful that Yukana had picked up on her wanting to be alone with her mate. She waited for the servant to finish collecting the dishes and disappear into the house.
"What's wrong, mate?" Sesshoumaru asked following Rin to the small koi pond. He stood behind her close but not touching. Rin turned her head up to look at him.
"I just don't' understand why you are away all the time. It almost feels as if you're trying to avoid me. I know it's important to keep your lands safe but I just don't understand why I can't go with you." She got a sly glint in her eye. "You know you don't have another arm I can go retrieve you know." Sesshoumaru looked down at her then couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh, a deep rich sound.
"I know, koibito, I know." He finally wrapped his arms around her, tucking her close to his body. "I must make sure that Banito-sama doesn't invade the southern villages on my land, but this I promise you, when my son is born I will be here."
"And what if it's a daughter?" Rin asked raising an eyebrow.
"It isn't. He's going to be strong." Sesshoumaru took a deep breath.
"You're so sure about that." She felt more then saw him nod. "Then it doesn't bother you that he will be hanyou?"
"This is our pup. I can finally understand how my father felt with Inuyasha's mother and him. Besides, Inuyasha let me in on a little presight." She grinned slightly, earning a questioning sound out of Rin. "He said with my luck that my son won't have his uncles ears."
"But they're so cute!" Rin proclaimed. "Kagome loves them."
"Yes, but if I remember correctly you find me pleasing." He said with a devilish smile. Nothing more was said from either one for the rest of the night as Sesshoumaru and Rin went back to their rooms and snuggled close.
It wasn't more then five weeks later that while Rin was walking in the outer gardens she felt a slight pain before coming drenched from the waist down. She cried out in surprise drawing the attention of Yukana, who was lazily laying by the pond they swam in. Yukana wrapped her arm around Rin's shoulders.
"What's wrong?" She asked eyeing the dripping kimono.
"I feel strange." Rin groaned as she felt a sharp pain flow through her as her stomach muscles contracted. "Oh, I remember the midwife talking about this. I think my water just broke."
"Why do humans have to be so complicated?" Yukana muttered helping Rin to sit on the blankets. "Uh..Rin I kind of fell asleep during those 'meetings'. What do I need to do?"
"I'm sure that Sesshoumaru has already smelt the change. Go to Kagome and bring her here, please." Rin stood then. When she saw the wide-eyed look on Yukana's face she said, "I'm fine. I'm not in pain right now, but I just can't sit there and wait, besides Kagome suggested that I walk around between contraction when they are farther apart. It might help make the birth easier. Now go." She waved her hand to shoo Yukana away before she began to waddle about the garden.
She was right about Sesshoumaru. He had smelt the change in her and came out shortly after Yukana had left with one of her sleeping yukatas over his arm. He calmly stopped her and helped her out of her kimono. His eyes strayed over her body taking in the changes that he had memorized only the night before. From what Kagome and the midwife had said to him because this was Rin's first child the labor could be long and hard.
"Sesshoumaru, please don't look at me like that. We can't do that right now."
He looked at her, smiling slightly as he wrapped the white yukata around her shoulders. Watching her face he pulled it closed and loosely tied it closed with the red sash. Then taking her hand he let her lead him around the garden. He had no doubt that his brother would come, leaving his pups in the care of that kitsune, Shippo. She stopped suddenly doubling over as another contraction hit her.
Unsure of what to do for the first time in his life he kneeled next to her lightly rubbing her back. He waited a few moments before she straightened and took several deep breaths. She stood again and smiled at him. She could see both worry and for the first time in her life confusion. Giggling, she patted his arms leading him through the garden again.
Sesshoumaru wasn't wrong that his half brother wanted to come as he came carrying his month pregnant mate. He swore they were worse then usagi youkai. According to Yukana they went at it almost every night. In fact he wasn't surprised that she hadn't gotten pregnant sooner. By that time Rin's contractions were closer together and lasting longer. He had finally forced her to lay upon the blankets laid out for her.
"So they are closer together then?" Kagome asked first thing putting her medical bag down as she kneeled down in front of her. She was thankful that her mother had insisted she take that nurses course before returning to the feudal period.
"Yes, and more painful." Rin whimpered gripping Sesshoumaru's hands as she contracted again.
"Everything's going to turn out alright." She said soothingly to the young girl in front of her. "You're dilated nicely. I doubt there will be any problems." Her eyes drifted to Sesshoumaru's. She could tell that he was worried. "Yukana why don't you take Inuyasha and get me some towels, and warm water." Her tone left no room for arguing. Once the two had left she turned her attention back to the two in front of her.
"This will be painful, but I know that you can do it." She looked up at Sesshoumaru again. "If you want I can ask Inuyasha to leave." Rin couldn't give her input that this was a family time and Inuyasha was family as a longer contraction hit her. Sesshoumaru knew his mate's thoughts on that matter. But since she had somehow found a strength that he never knew she could posses, he could only shake his head.
"Pain can bring a woman great strength. And don't worry I'll keep my Inu- chan out of the way." Her smile only spread as Yukana and Inuyasha returned. "Inuyasha get my clamps and scissors out of my bag please. Yukana get ready to clean up one screaming baby."
For the next two hours Rin pushed and Kagome coached. When the screaming baby boy finally came Kagome handed him over to Yukana and Inuyasha. She was so glad she had taught Inuyasha how to remove the umbilical cord. It left her to take care of afterbirth and clean up. When she finished Sesshoumaru helped to change Rin into another yukata fetched by Yukana. When they had Rin resting tiredly against Sesshoumaru's chest Inuyasha handed over the calming pup.
He looked up at his parents with bright amber eyes and cheeks, wrist, and hips streaked with youkai markings. Smiling Rin ran a finger down his cheek. His small hands reached up and gripped her finger. He didn't have the crescent moon on his forehead or dog ears on top of his head.
"I told you so." Inuyasha said before being elbowed in the ribs by Kagome, although all the adults had a laugh. But he was right, the pup could pass as youkai except for the tuff of black hair on his head.
"He's so small." Yukana said in awe leaning close to get a good look at her newest charge.
"Of course he was just born." Kagome stated wiping her hands on a piece of cloth. She then turned to look at the setting sun. "What will you name him?" Kagome asked turning back to the happy couple. Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin but she looked back at him expectantly.
"Inutaisho, after father." His voice was calm but it held a hint of pride in it. Inuyasha smiled happy that his brother decided to use the name after all. Kagome turned to him.
"I'm going to stay here for a few days to make sure that Rin recovers and to keep an eye on Inutaisho. Besides there are some things us women," she nodded her head at Yukana to include her, "need to talk about." She threw herself into Inuyasha's arms holding him close. "As for you, go home and tell Kioshi and Yarinko that they have a baby cousin, Inutaisho."
Inuyasha landed a soft kiss to his mate's lips before nodding and standing. Yukana stood as well walking him to the forest edge. She stopped Inuyasha with a hand.
"Are you and Sesshoumaru-sama enemies still?" She asked hope flickering in her eyes.
"Iie. If we were he wouldn't have let me this close to his home, and I wouldn't be leaving Kagome here, even if she fought me." Inuyasha turned away but was stopped by Yukana's next words.
"Rin's in danger still, and now so is Inutaisho." Yukana said uncertainly. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder to look at her. "And now there's problems with the south."
"I know neither you or Sesshoumaru will not let anything happen to her." He smiled reassuringly. "I'll keep my ears and eyes open. If I hear or see anything you'll be the first to know." With that he jumped into the trees on his way home. Yukana turned back to look at the happy family. Sesshoumaru picked up Rin and Inutaisho and carried them to the house. Sighing she made her way back to Kagome to help pick up the blankets and show Kagome her room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Now I'm stuck with this story I'm not sure how I want to do the next chapters. I know that in two or three chapters it goes into Inutaisho's story but I just have to get there. I still have another child.unless you want more, to go. You know names are the hardest things to come up with. And I saw Inutaisho as Sessy's and Inu's dad's name in several stories so I was like cool! So I used it. Anyways I hope to be able to work this problem out in the next few days, weeks..Oh! FOOLY COOLY! Enough said.
