Chapter 9
Years pass and things change.
Two years have passed, and Zena survived Koga's training. Her claws she used to clip to look like finger nails have grown to their natural length. Scar Face had moved to a near by cave with his mate. Every time Inuyasha went to Pegasus's castle, he informed Pegasus on how Zena was doing. Pegasus and Jasmine had married eight months ago, and the previous year, Inuyasha told Pegasus that Zena had two puppies, and about Koga being the father of her pups.
Lately, Inuyasha had been hanging out a bit more often with Zena. On a night when the moon was full, she and Inuyasha went to the flower field near her den to spend some time together, unbeknownst to Koga. They came back to the den two hours later. After Inuyasha left the den, Koga and Zena also went to the flower field for an hour, and then returned home.
One month later Zena found out that she was pregnant. "Oh no. I was with both Inuyasha and Koga. So, either one could be the father," Zena said to herself. She then went to Kaede's village to talk to Inuyasha. Luckily, Kagome was not there when she arrived. "Inuyasha I've got a problem," Zena said as she bowed her head.
"What's the problem?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"I'm pregnant. You and Koga, either one of you could be the father," Zena explained.
"How can that be a problem?" asked Inuyasha.
"If you're the father, Koga will either kick me out of the pack or kill the puppies when they're born," said Zena.
"That's true he might do that if I'm the father," said Inuyasha. "We'll just have to wait and see." Zena nodded.
"Well, I'd better get back before Koga notices I'm gone," said Zena.
Six months later Zena gave birth to twins, and in modern times, Jasmine had a baby girl, which they named Amy. Koga noticed something about one of the twins. The girl had very light blonde hair and the boy had black hair.
"Why is her hair so light?" asked Koga.
"Let's name them first, and then we'll talk," said Zena.
"The boy's name will be Zeko," said Koga
"I'll name the girl Lita," said Zena.
Luckily, Inuyasha was near by when Zena told Koga that she had been with both him and Inuyasha. Zeko looked like Koga, but Lita looked like Zena and Inuyasha. Not only that, but Zeko was born with blue eyes and Lita with green eyes. Zena's eyes are blue. If she had only been with Koga then Lita would have ended up with blue eyes. However, since she had been with both Koga and Inuyasha, Lita ended up with green eyes.
"I can't believe you were with both me and Inuyasha!" Koga growled in disgust. Koga unsheathed his sword.
"Oh no, you don't." Inuyasha growled as he pushed Koga away. "You're not going to kill any of the pups!"
"Then she might as well take them and leave. I don't want someone who two times for my mate." Koga said as he looked at her with disgust.
Zena gathered Zeko and Lita in her arms and left Koga's pack. She left with Inuyasha to Kaede's village. Kaede let Zena move into her hut, and Scar Face and moved into a cave with his mate near the village. That day, before Zena left, Koga told her that when Zeko grows to be one year old she would have to return Zeko to Koga.
One year later Koga came to Kaede's village to retrieve Zeko. For the past year, whenever Kagome visited, Zena and her pups would hide. When Koga arrived at the village, he saw Inuyasha playing with the puppies while Zena watched happily.
"Get away from my son! He belongs to me now." Koga spat at Inuyasha.
Zena handed him over to Koga. "Bye Zeko. You be good for your father, now." Zena watched as Koga held Zeko in his arms as he left.
"Mommy where's Zeko going?" asked Lita.
"He's going to live with his dad," said Zena.
"But I thought daddy was his dad," Lita said as she pointed towards Inuyasha.
"No. Koga is Zeko's dad, not your dad," said Zena.
Inuyasha caught their attention when he stood and sniffed suddenly. "Quick, go hide. I can smell Kagome," Inuyasha said as he picked up Lita, handed her to Zena and they ran to hide.
"Hi, Inuyasha. How are you doing?" asked Kagome.
"I'm fine Kagome," said Inuyasha. Just then, Lita jumped onto Inuyasha's back.
The tot playing with his ears startled Kagome. "Why does she look like you?" Kagome asked as she pointed to her.
Inuyasha's eyes looked up and then to Kagome's. "Um…She's my daughter." Inuyasha said sheepishly.
"Your daughter?" Kagome fumed for a moment. "Inuyasha, SIT!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha went face down into the ground, and Lita fell from his head crying.
"You leave him alone!" Zena shouted as she ran to the scene. She pushed Kagome away from Inuyasha to help him up. Kagome scoffed and left, deciding she didn't want to return to him. Kaede saw what had transpired, and she removed the spell from Inuyasha's rosary.
"I better go to talk to Kagome." Inuyasha said as he got up from the dirt and walked off to the sacred well leading to Kagome's shrine. When Inuyasha stepped into Kagome's room, she was crying.
"Kagome are you ok?" Inuyasha asked, gaining her attention.
"No! I'm not! I can't believe you would do something like that!" Kagome sobbed.
"I'm sorry! It just happened!" Inuyasha explained. Kagome gave Inuyasha a sad look. "Well, I wasn't going to let Koga kill the puppies when they were born, so I took them in," said Inuyasha shrug.
"How many did she have?" Kagome asked calmly.
"She had twins because both Koga and I had been with her," said Inuyasha.
"So, I'm guessing that Koga kicked Zena out of the pack because of that," said Kagome.
"Yes. He took his son back with him today since Zeko's now a year old," said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, who do you want to be with more? Me or Zena?" asked Kagome.
"Hey, don't make me choose," said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, SIT!" Kagome yelled in frustration. Nothing happened. She looked up at him, surprised that he didn't hit the floor.
"Hah! Kaede took the spell off the rosary!" laughed Inuyasha. She became even more agitated.
"Fine. If you want me to choose I will," said Inuyasha. "I want to stay with Zena because I can't abandon her and Lita. And not only that, she treats me with respect." Inuyasha spat at Kagome.
"But I treat you with respect," said Kagome.
"Yah right! You yelling at me half the time and spouting that incantation all the time, some respect," said Inuyasha. Kagome's head bowed in defeat. "Well, I'd better go. I have a daughter to take care of." Inuyasha said over his shoulder as he jumped out her window for the last time. Kagome started to cry as she fell to the floor.
When Inuyasha returned, he saw Lita playing with Kilala. He petted Kilala and then stepped into the hut where he found Sango, her brother Kohaku, and Miroku. They were talking to Kaede and Zena. Inuyasha sat next to Zena. "Why did you have pups with Koga?" asked Inuyasha.
"He told me I owed him for the training he gave me," said Zena.
"What are their names?" asked Inuyasha.
"I had two girls. Their names are Rita and Nina," said Zena.
"They are two years old right?" asked Inuyasha.
"Yes. And now like Zeko, they belong to Koga," said Zena with a frown.
"We were just telling Zena how pretty Lita is," said Sango with a smile.
"What brings you guys by?" asked Inuyasha.
"We heard that you're a father. So we came to visit," said Miroku, "and I must say you have a beautiful daughter."
"Thank you, Miroku," said Inuyasha.
"Kohaku, how about you go out and play with Lita and Kilala," suggested Sango.
"Ok," Kohaku replied as he stood and walked outside.
"Not only that, but we also came by to see if there would be a free hut in the village for us to move into," said Miroku.
"Well there's the one next door," said Inuyasha. While Kohaku, Kilala, and Lita played happily, Sango and Miroku moved into the hut next Kaede's.
Meanwhile back on Pegasus's island Jasmine was sitting on a window ledge with her hood down and her hair covering her elfish ears. She was looking out at the trainers as they duel each other. When she heard a knock at the door, Jasmine quickly put her hood up. "Come in," she called. Pegasus entered. Once he saw her, he looked at her strangely. "What?" Jasmine asked sounding offended.
"Why is it every time you're around me, you have your hood up?" Pegasus asked.
"Because of how I look," Jasmine said.
"What do you mean?" Pegasus asked. "Show me." Jasmine just looked at him. "Please?" Pegasus asked.
Jasmine sighed and lowered her hood showing her elfish ears. "Jasmine," Pegasus said, "I love you for who you are, you don't have to hide anything from me," he told her. Pegasus took her hand, "come."
"Where are we going?" Jasmine asked.
"I want to show you my toon room," Pegasus said with a smile.
"Your what?" asked Jasmine.
"My toon room. It's where I keep all my favorite toon cards in glass cases," he said as the two of them walked down the hall.
hmmm i think Pegasus loves his toones as much as his wife and child.
