Prologue

"Kagome, you're hurting my hand…ow ow ow ow ow ow!"

"Inuyasha, shut up! It's your fault I'm like this!" Kagome threw her head back and screamed as another contraction rippled through her body. Their pup was coming, and it wanted out, now.

"My lady, you have to keep breathing." the midwife attempted to coach her.

"Breathe Kagome," Inuyasha tried. She only squeezed his hand harder and began to dig her nails into his skin.

"I'd keep quiet if I were you Inuyasha," she growled at him. He could only gulp in response.


"Lady Kitsune you're doing wonderful," a midwife was also telling the newly appointed Lady of the East. "Just keep breathing and you'll soon have your first child."

"Why isn't my husband here?" the Lady demanded.

"He's currently in a meeting with your advisor, he'll be here shortly." Lady Kitsune could only nod as pain flooded her body.


"My lord, it is said that Lady Akuma will be giving birth soon."

"Lady Rin?" Lord Kitsune questioned his advisor with a bored tone.

"Um no sir, Lady Kagome, the one mated to the half breed."

"O yes, I remember hearing she was with his pup. So another impure child is about to be born?"

"Well yes sir, but I was actually thinking we could benefit from this."

"And how so?"

"Well, depending on the sex of the children, they could possibly be betrothed. If you had a son, he would become Lord of the East and South."

"But what if my wife gives me a daughter?"

"I could very easily act as the newly wed couple's advisor."

"Hmm…I see where you're going with this. I'll think about this before I begin talks with Lord Akuma." The fox lord sneered as he said the word lord, hardly thinking a hanyou was worthy of the title, let alone a human like Lord Shuudoushi of the North.


"My lady I see a head! A purely white one at that." Inuyasha grinned at the idea of his child having his hair. He wondered what other features the pup would have of his. Kagome gave one final push as a child's scream could be heard.

"My lord and lady, you have a daughter!" Kagome collapsed with relief and waited for the midwife to finish cleaning the child before handing her over to her mother.

"Hello little princess." She greeted her daughter. The small child looked up at her parents with large amber eyes, and yawned showing a set of neat little fangs.

"It seem she takes a lot after you husband. Except for the ears, they're human like mine." Inuyasha proudly took his daughter and held her in his arms.

"My little princess," he murmured. "How about Hidenka?"

"What happened to the female version of Inuyasha?" Kagome questioned jokingly.

"I like Hidenka better." He looked back down at his daughter to find her already asleep, a fist closed tightly on a lock of his hair.


"Lord Kitsune! Lord Kitsune! You must come with me quickly!" Lord Kitsune and his advisor turned towards the midwife who had run in frantically.

"Is something wrong midwife?" the advisor questioned.

"It's Lady Kitsune, she…she…" Lord Kitsune didn't even allow the midwife to finish as he leapt from his chair and ran towards his wife's chambers. He came upon another midwife holding a child in her arms as she silently wept. Noticing her lord's presence, she walked up to him.

"My lord, this is your son, Shippo."

"Shippo?"

"It was the last thing she said before…"

"I see. Very well, this is Prince Shippo." He looked down at his son once more before handing him back to the midwife and went back to his chambers. His advisor was still waiting for him.

"Naraku find out the sex of the Akuma child. My son will be waiting to know if he is to be betrothed."

"Very well sire."
