Chapter Five : Itachiko's Introduction
"My love, how is he doing?" A man asked, wrapping his arms around his wife's waist and kissing her neck.
"He's outside playing." She sighed sadly, and her husband kissed her again.
"Worry not Itachiko, he will grow up to be a strong man, and his life will be better than all those who scorn him." His wife smiled sadly as her husband hugged her tightly.
"How's Hisaki? I smell evil on that man." The youkai growled as he bared his fangs, tightening his grip on Itachiko.
"She has become engaged to him, even though they have mated countless times." She said with disgust. The maiden wasn't a person to hate someone, but she really disliked her sister's fiancée. Her son soon walked in, looking sad but tired.
"Mommy, daddy, I'm hungry." He said, and she reached out for him and hugged him, crying.
"Mother, why are you crying?" He asked her innocently.
"I'm so sorry InuYasha." She whispered. "I swear I'm so sorry."
InuYasha remembered the last time his mother cried for him. He didn't understand what she was apologizing for then, but he does now. She was apologizing for the world's hate towards him, for how cruel and heartless it was. He loved her dearly, and he swore that he would always remember her, whether he was alive or dead, half demon or full youkai. His dad wasn't the type to scorn him, but he always taught him your worst enemy can be your best friend. He never knew what that meant, and he doubted he ever would. He sighed as he heard Shippou awaken and walk to him.
"Morning." He said, sitting up and looking at Shippou.
"Morning. Otaa-san, something's not right. You smell different, and like Kagome." He said, and InuYasha blushed.
"I'll explain it to you when you're a little bit older." Shippou nodded and sat on InuYasha's lap.
"I want a little sister. Someone to protect, someone to always have." Shippou said. InuYasha nodded.
"Yes, a little sister would be nice. Even better if they could grow on trees too." He smiled as Shippou laughed.
"Promise me something." Inu Yasha said after they sat in silence. Shippou nodded and looked at him. "Promise me that if I ever die, you'll protect Kagome with everything you have and then some. Promise me you'll grow up into a strong man, and an honorable youkai." Shippou nodded and laid his head on InuYasha's chest.
"I promise." Sango woke abruptly, clutching her stomach. She cried out and Kagome bolted to her feet, ready to attack. InuYasha laughed and explained Sango was having morning sickness. She calmed down and sat next to her. Miroku rubbed her back and tried to sooth her, when she suddenly regurgitated. The scent practically knocked Kagome out cold sense she was closes, but it did its number on InuYasha and Shippou. She held their sleeves up to their noses and stepped back. Kagome looked dazed and dizzy. Miroku laughed as he helped Sango up and took her to clean herself up.
Kagome came back to her senses, and asked that they moved away form the stench. After they were far away not to smell it, they sent Shippou to guide Sango and Miroku back to them. InuYasha looked at Kagome.
"Kagome, about what happened last night..." He said, feeling his face flush up.
"I think the demon knows now, of our desire." She said, avoiding looking at him. He nodded as Itachiko appeared into the mirror.
"She's set a curse on someone! I felt her aura surge! Last night is when it happened!" She shrieked. Kaomge nodded and InuYasha looked at her with wide eyes. Itachiko immediately noticed how both of them got uncomfortable.
"It's on you. So, I guess you two both had a dream then?" She said, noticing the flush on their faces.
"Yea, but when we woke up, it was like we actually did what was was dreaming." Kagome said quickly. Itachiko pondered about this, before saying she will return around nightfall and disappearing again.
"So, I guess we have to be careful now, won't we?" Kagome said with a chuckle. She could sense InuYasha's uncomfort, and InuYasha sensed Kagome's but before they could say anything, their ears picked up Sango and Miroku. Sango looked miserable. She was pale and looked tired. InuYasha announced he was going to hunt, and thought it would be a good idea to teach Shippou. Shippou nodded as he jumped on InuYasha's head and they zipped into the forest. Miroku set out a spare sleeping bag and made a fire as Kagome kept guard. Kirara mewed softly as Sango's pain eased.
"Miroku told me Kagome." Sango said once she had laid down. Kagome nodded and smiled. "That's why you told me congratulations." Kagome nodded and winced as she thought about that night.
"Don't worry Kagome. InuYasha cares for you and you him. Remember, I am a youkai exterminator, and I can tell when two youkai are in love."
Kagome opened her mouth but snapped it shut remembering she was a hanyou now. She sighed as she thought about all the drastic changes. She sniffed the air a bit.
"Smells like they've caught something. Shippou must have caught it because I smell a lot of blood." She said as Sango giggled. They returned with 8 rabbits, and InuYasha cooked them while everyone waited. Shippou explained how it took them so longer because InuYasha could smell if they had a family or not. InuYasha said nothing, but he acknowledged the thankful glares everyone gave him.
Once breakfast was done cooking; everyone ate chatting happily about Sango's pregnancy. They talked about names, and whether they wanted it to be a boy or girl. Sango said she wanted to restart her exterminating family, and they both decided to raise the child in the art of demon slaying. Kagome and InuYasha were going to be aunt and uncle, Shippou cousin. InuYasha made them promise he didn't have to play with them, which Kagome thought was cute.
Miroku brought up a subject that surprised everyone.
"Where is Myouga?" Everyone shrugged and Kagome sniffed a little bit.
"I have no idea. Now that I think about it, they little flea was supposed to be showing me something from my father." He said irritated. Kagome laughed as InuYasha began pouting and grumbling.
"InuYasha, I'm have to go tell my mother that I am no longer human." InuYasha nodded.
"First thing tomorrow morning." He said and she agreed. She would no longer be able to go to school unless she could find a concealing spell. Their best bets were to have Kagome quit completely, and say she has gone missing. That was she'd have to live here and never have to worry about anything back there. InuYasha stared at Kagome as she bit her lip, and forgetting she had fangs punctured it. She licked the blood up and sucked on her lip as she thought some more. Giving up she sighed and hopped into a tree that over looked the area.
"Oi! I'm supposed to do that!" He called up. She didn't reply, and he assumed she ignored him. Shippou was busy playing with Kirara as Miroku and Sango cuddled on the sleeping back. InuYasha sighed and he felt Tetsaiga pulsing.
What's going on? He thought as it became stronger and stronger. Is Kagome in trouble? Right on cue, he smelt youkai and heard Kagome shriek as she fell out the tree. A huge bird youkai came out and flew towards Kagome. She jumped up and out of the way, but his talons cut her arm, making it bleed. InuYasha unsheathed Tetsaiga and cut the bird in half. It instantly turned to ashes and was carried away by the wind. Kagome was sitting on her hind legs whimpering as she looked at her wound. InuYasha walked over to her and began licking it, whining.
Kagome tried to pull her arm back, but InuYasha growled and she gave up. Once he was satisfied and sure it was clean enough, he frowned at it.
"What did you do anyway?" He asked as he ripped his undershirt and bandaged her arm with it.
"I was just jumping up and up when I heard the babies crying. Then I went to look, and then the father just bugged out and attacked me." InuYasha snorted as she smiled innocently, making Sango and Miroku laugh. "I really didn't do anything."
"Rule for Survival number one: Never mess with any youkai's young." Kagome nodded in understanding and whimpered as she sat down next to Sango. InuYasha glared at her, unaware of what was wrong. She whimpered again before she lay down on the floor, where she began panting and howling. Her scent hit him again and he realized what she was doing. She began to whimper and whine a little more, and he felt his blood boil. He calmed it and walked over to her, and sat her upright.
"You have to learn to control it." He said, and glanced around at everyone's stunned expression. He sat down as she did her best. She still shuddered and whined and whimpered, but she no longer howled. InuYasha bared his fangs as he smelt youkai all around him. It was at least 30, willing to mate with her. He shot to his feet and rushed over to Kagome. He growled and snarled, scaring them off.
"What just happened?" Sango asked sitting up.
"Well, Kagome's in heat, and she just called all those perverted youkai, who were ready to mate with her." Kagome's eyes went wide.
"So that's why I am uncomfortable." He nodded and she began whimpering again, and her spicy scent hit him, hard. He whimpered as she whined and shifted. Sango watched her with confusion, not knowing how to help her. Miroku tore his eyes away, surprising InuYasha to no end. Kagome suddenly pulled herself together, but she still twitched occasionally.
InuYasha's demon nature was going crazy. He closed his eyes and tried to meditate, ignore her whimpering and her scent that drove him crazy. He thought about Naraku, anything other than her, but the way she looked that night kept drifting into his mind. Suddenly InuYasha snapped his eyes open as Kagome laid across his lap, still whimpering.
Do it. Claim her.
His demon nature began to rise, and he looked at her, panic evident on his face. Her hand grazed over him and he yelped almost like a bark and he stood up. Sango looked at her friend with disbelief as Miroku grabbed InuYasha and dragged him off.
"Kagome," She said, once her friend blinked a couple of times and sniffed the air for InuYasha.
"What just happened?" She asked, completely unaware of what just happened.
"You just tried to seduce InuYasha in front of all of us." Kagome's jaw dropped to the ground.
"I WHAT!" She barked so loud InuYasha and Miroku cringed even though they were a good distance away. Even Shippou yelped and ran for cover.
Kagome sighed as Sango explained to her everything that had happened.
"I can't control it for very long. I can for a while, then it just surges with energy and takes over." She said, cradling her head in her hands. Shippou went over to her and looked up through her elbows.
"Don't worry Kagome. InuYasha sometimes smells like you did a minute again, but he won't tell me what it is." She nodded and smiled at Shippou's ignorance. She couldn't believe she did that. She felt like a slut, a girl, now hanyou with no dignity whatsoever. And it was evident on his face that he was mortified.
Probably disgusted. She told herself as she sighed heavily.
InuYasha sighed as he explained everything to Miroku.
"Since she has just become hanyou, everything is new to her. She can't control it quite yet. It happens twice a month, but for some people like every week." He explained, and nodded.
"I am glad to see you held yourself. Your eyes pulsed red InuYasha." He informed him, and the hanyou looked mortified.
"Everytime that happens, he fights. He wants Kagome, and he already thinks she is his mate. I can surpress him, but I fear it will not be long before I lose this battle." InuYasha said sadly.

Hisaki smiled as she shuddered under her slave. She could sense his desire, his desire for her. But that's not what she wanted. She wanted her beloved Onigumo back, and she was going to get him. She felt a surge of energy surged through her as a purplish light surged through her crystal orb once more. She glanced in it and smiled and she ran her finger over the glass as the young hanyou woman seduced the other one, but she did not know what she was doing. Their lust for each other makes me stronger. Keep desiring one another.
She cried out as her partner bit her softly, bringing her concentration back to what he was doing to her. She smiled and ran her fingers through his hair as he moaned loudly, on the egde. She looked at the orb, and snapped her fingers, making the purplaish glow disappeared. She sighed as her partner collasped on top of her.
Soon Onigumo, we will feel each other once more, our bodies will merge for eternity.
She smiled, her skin heating at the feeling of mating with her beloved once again. She chuckled as her slave rolled over, apparently exhausted.
