*Lily grumbling* They went back to the old episodes! Bah! Well, the good news is I started taping them, got the very first episode on the beggining of one of the tapes and I'm now recording them ALL! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!
*Inuyasha stares at Lily a bit frightened* You're obsessed, aren't you, you're crazy!
*Lily narrowing her eyes at Inuyasha* I'm not obsessed. Just because I adore you soo much.....
*Inuyasha sweatdropping and taking a step backwards* Where is that blasted hanyou-kagome when I *really* need her?
*Lily smirking* Ah, so you two are getting along quiet well then, are you? I'm pleased to hear it.
*Inuyasha snorting* Keh! That's none of your business wench. *blushing slightly*
*Lily turning SSJ4* FIRST of all, DON'T CALL ME WENCH! Second of all, that threat about having you fixed is still hanging in the air, so don't tempt me, or it won't be a threat, it'll be a promise!
*Inuyasha pales*
*Lily smiling* Now that that's settled. I can start the disclaimer then go on to the next chapter.
*Lily* Now the disclaimer. Lily, that's me, doesn't own the characters of any anime show at all. Oh and for those of you who are wondering, check out chapter 5. It'll explain about how Kagome is pregnant, cause I did have a reviewer who'd asked about that.
*Inuyasha sweatdrops, then grumbles under his breath* And where was I when this all happened, I'd like to know.
*Lily chuckling nervously* Moving on, the next chapter. Enjoy folks.

Keiki de Niyati : Children of Fate
Chapter 18- " The Tirge Youkai "
Kagome smiled to herself as she watched the twins and Rin running around, playing tag. Sesshoumaru watched Rin carefully, his face a mask of emotions, but Kagome knew he honestly worried about and cared for the child. She turned to look at Kikyo, who was also silently watching the kids. She smiled to herself as a thought suddenly hit her.
Sesshoumaru was like a father to Rin. And Rin lately had been treating Kikyo like a mother-figure. Kagome smiled to herself at the thought of Sesshoumaru and Kikyo.....together. After all, stranger things have happened in the last three years, right?
"HENTAI!"
*SMACK*
Kagome and everyone else turned to look in surprise at Sango and Miroku. Miroku was eyeing Sango very confused, as she was glaring at him, holding up her boomerang in a threating way infront of her husband.
"Sango? What was *that* for?!" Miroku asked in disbelief as Sango glared at him.
"You know perfectly well what that was for, you baka! You pervert!" Sango cried.
"Uh.....Sango, what's the matter? What happened?" Kagome asked cautiously.
"HE WAS GROPING MY STOMACH!!" Sango cried.
Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and Kouga sweatdropped, as Miroku sighed softly, a slight blush across his cheeks, but said nothing.
"Wait a minute. Miroku, I don't get it. You've basically behaved for the past three years, right? So....what changed?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha studied the monk carefully, before raising an eyebrow at him, before chuckling to himself and looking at his own mate.
"You can't blame the monk, Koi. She's carrying his child, isn't she?" Inuyasha asked as Sango and Kagome blushed in realization, Sango looking uncertainly at Miroku.
"Is that- where you.....?" Sango began as Miroku smiled at her and nodded.
"I'm sorry if I offended you, my lady, but I couldn't help myself." Miroku said as Sango blushed.
"I didn't know- I mean, it's fine, Miroku, I just thought, oh forget it." Sango said with a laugh.
Miroku smiled at her, before turning to look at the silver-haired hanyou before him curiously.
"Inuyasha? I was just wondering what you plan to do tonight. Tonight is your-" Miroku began before Inuyasha growled at him.
"I *KNOW* WHAT TONIGHT IS, MONK!" Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha! There's no need to be so rude to Miroku! We talked about this last night remember? And what did I tell you?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha growled lowly at her.
"Fine." Inuyasha said, as Kagome smiled at him, before turning to look directly at Kouga and Kikyo.
"Kouga, Kikyo, tonight it the new moon. Miroku, Sango, Shippou and I already know what it means to Inuyasha, in fact we've know for years, and as Sesshoumaru and Rin have been traveling with us for the past few years, they know as well." Kagome began.
"I don't understand, Lady Kagome." Kouga said as Inuyasha growled to himself in frustration. All these people, allies and old enemies alike, were going to know his secret. Hell, most out of the group already did Inuyasha though angrily.
"From sunset to sunrise, on the date of each new moon, my hanyou brother reverts to his human side." Sesshoumaru explained as Inuyasha growled at him.
"Human side?" Kikyo asked curiously.
"What he means, is that, well, we've all seen what happens when Inuyasha gets angry, I mean *really* angry, and he transforms into a full youkai. Well, on the nights of the new moon, he temporarily becomes completely human." Kagome explained.
"Completely human? You never told me this fifty years ago, Inuyasha." Kikyo said.
"A human? A worthless, weakling human? Heh! This is rich!" Kouga laughed, as Inuyasha snarled at the wolf youkai, and started to lunge for him when Kagome interupted.
"Kouga! You forget that *I* myself used to be a human! And that *I* too, like Inuyasha, *my mate*, happen to be a hanyou, and I too, have a human night! Which is also on the new moon!" Kagome said crossly, glaring slightly at the surprised Kouga.
"I see. But why tell us this?" Kikyo asked curiously.
"Well, like Miroku was starting to say, tonight is the new moon, which means that not only will he be human, but so will the twins and myself. Inuyasha and I were talking about it last night. We wants the twins and I to return to my time for the night, but I told him no. We have to figure out what we're going to do before sunset then." Kagome said.
"Which is only in a few hours Miko." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome nodded.
"I know. Inuyasha didn't even want to tell Kouga and Kikyo, but well, I told him there was no reason not too. They are our allies now. And that means all the help we can get. " Kagome said, looking at the two in question.
"I see. So then what is your suggestion, Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"I don't know." Kagome said, sitting down in frustration.
"Maybe I may be of some service to my Lord and Lady." Myoga said, suddenly jumping unto Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Oi. When did you get here, bug?" Inuyasha asked.
"Just now, milord. I heard that your mate had returned. And I can see tis true. And with pups, as well? My congratulations, milord." Myoga said.
"Keh! Get to your point, flea!" Inuyasha said.
"I take it that tonight is your family's 'human' night, and this being said, I expect that you are concerned for their safety." Myoga said as Inuyasha growled at the flea demon in annoyance.
"You think?!" Inuyasha asked sarcastically.
"What is it that you suggest, retainer?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Just that, actually, Lord Sesshoumaru. As you know, I myself served as a retainer for your father, just as I serve Lord Inuyasha." Myoga began as Inuyasha snorted.
"Is that what you call it? You stick around long enough to tell us bits of information, and high tail it outta here if there's the slightest bit of danger." Inuyasha said.
"My Lord, I.....if perhaps I were only bigger, I could be of some assistance to you in battle, but I can not. I...." Myoga began as Inuyasha snorted at him.
"Whatever bug, just get to what you were saying. I've never needed your help in battle before anyway." Inuyasha said.
"Precisely, milord. You're strong enough without the need for me, like your father was and your older brother is. Kiara, as Lady Sango's retainer, is able to protect and aide her, by transforming into her large state, as we all know." Myoga said.
"What is your point, bug? You're starting to annoy me." Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha! Give Myoga the chance to speak!" Kagome said annoyed.
"My thanks, milady. As I was saying, I was thinking that perhaps the time has come for your mate and pups to have retainers of their own, milord. You can not be expected to be there to protect them all the time. And if it's true that your mate is in whelp once more, than you'll need powerful retainers to be able to protect both her and your pups." Myoga said.
"That's the best idea you've had since I've know you, bug. So.....what kind of retainers are we talking about here?" Inuyasha asked.
"They are a kind of Neco, of the Tirge family." Myoga said as Inuyasha growled at him.
"Hell no! No cats, Myoga!" Inuyasha snarled.
"But milord, you didn't let me finish. This particular youkai has had a tradition of serving the Inu youkai line of lords of your lands." Myoga began.
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked impatiently.
"Are you refering to the youkai that served my hanyou's brother's late mother, flea?" Sesshoumaru asked as Inuyasha looked at his other brother in confusion.
"Hai, Lord Sesshoumaru. Lord Inutaisho's first mate, your own mother, was also a Inu demon of noble birth, and therefore, did not need the protection of a Tirge youkai. When your mother, rest her soul, passed on during birth, Lord Inutaisho knew that you too would be able to fend for yourself when you grew older, Lord Sesshoumaru. And until that time, a temporary Tirge youkai was assigned to protect and look after you. You where still a young pup, about four years in age, when Lord Inutaisho took the human princess as his second mate. Inuyasha's human mother. And milord, knowing full well what life was instore for his human mate and their hanyou pup, sent for a more permanent Tirge to serve the Lady." Myoga explained.
"I never knew of this." Inuyasha said softly as Myoga nodded.
"Actually, milord, you were too young yourself to remember of the Tirge that protected both yourself and your mother. Alas, I was hoping to call upon her again, as I know she was very fond of yourself and your late mother, but I've recently learned that she's passed on." Myoga said.
"I faintly recall a youkai that was constantly within the perimeter of the castle, flea. Is that the Tirge youkai you refer to?" Sesshoumaru asked curiously as the flea demon nodded.
"Hai milord. I was hoping to ask her if she'd be willing to serve Lady Kagome and her pups." Myoga said.
"I see. It is a good suggestion, Myoga, but what will you do now?" Miroku asked as Myoga sighed softly.
"I shall see if I can not find another Tirge youkai willing to serve the Lady and pups. With any luck, I believe I shall be able to find a few." Myoga said.
"A few? You mean more than one?" Kagome asked as Myoga nodded.
"Hai, milady. You are in whelp, therefore, you yourself shall need your own Tirge, that shall be passed on to your unborn pup. As for the twins, they too shall need their own Tirge's. There is a certain family of such youkai that have been rumored to be living not to far from the Western Castle. I shall leave immediately to seek them out." Myoga said, jumping down from Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Just be quick about it flea. I doubt you'll be able to return before sunrise tomorrow, since the Western border is so far from here, and tonight is the night we may need them most. It would have been nice if you could have brought us this information *sooner* bug!" Inuyasha growled impatiently.
"I am truely sorry, milord. I rushed to Lady Kaede's village when I had heard that Lady Kagome had returned, but when I arrived, the elder Miko informed me that your pack had already left." Myoga said.
"Keh! Whatever flea. Just hurry up and go get those Tigre youkai or whatever they're called." Inuyasha grumbled impatiently.
"They are called, Tirge, milord." Myoga corrected him.
"Whatever, just go already." Inuyasha said.
"I shall try to return as quickly as possible, my Lord and Lady." Myoga said, before dashing off into the forest and disappearing from sight.
Inuyasha crossed his arms in impatience and snorted.
"Neco youkai. Keh!" Inuyasha grumbled.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked confused.
"Neco are a type of cat youkai, Lady Kagome. Which is why I believe Inuyasha is against having them travel with us." Miroku explained as Kagome nodded.
"I see. I should have known. It's just nature for a dog not to like a cat, I suppose. Well, not always." Kagome said, smiling down at Kiara and petting the little fire cat between the ears.
