Before They Were Cold
Lord Inutaisho paced back and forth while his wife, Megumi, was giving birth to what they assumed would be twins. Inutaisho burst into the room where his wife lay after another scream. She looked up to see him standing in the doorway, looking at her, waiting for the first baby to be born. Megumi exchanged glances with her mate and yelled the words 'get out of here'. Her yell echoed throughout the castle walls, letting Inutaisho know that he should get out of the room. However, something told him to stay there, since he could see that the first baby was almost born. He knew that his wife didn't exactly want him in the room at the moment, but he stayed there, since he saw that Megumi was ignoring him. The servant cleaned up the baby, who was alive, but was surprisingly quiet. Inutaisho held his first-born in his arms.
Aw … it's so cute! Inutaisho thought, looking at his new son or daughter's face. On each of the baby's cheeks were two magenta stripes and a navy blue crescent moon that was pointing to Inutaisho's left was on the boy or girl's forehead. Inutaisho was occupying himself by looking at his new child's face and silver hair, not even bothering to check if he was holding a boy or a girl. The demon was so thrilled to see the child that he didn't even notice that his wife was now giving birth to the other baby. The baby moved a little in his or her father's arms. Inutaisho started running his fingers over the child's stripes and moon while saying how cute the baby's face was. The boy or girl opened one of their eyes a crack and looked at Inutaisho.
Oh! You're opening you eyes! Inutaisho thought.
"Lord Inutaisho, the other baby," the servant said before handing him another child.
"They're identical!" Inutaisho exclaimed as he held the twins in his arms. The second-born looked exactly like the first-born, except that the crescent moon pointed the opposite way. "They're so cute! They're so adorable!" He looked over to Megumi, who was now getting up. "Any more babies coming?"
"No," she replied. She walked over to her mate and looked at the two identical-looking babies. Megumi was the first one to realize that one of the babies was a boy and the other was a girl. "Is that the only way we'd be able to tell them apart? They look identical otherwise. Oh, we can tell by the moons."
"Huh?" Inutaisho asked. "What do you mean? We have identical twins. They look exactly alike. I don't see a difference."
Megumi sighed and told Inutaisho that the babies were different genders and that the crescent moons pointed different ways.
"One's a boy and one's a girl? They don't have the same moons?"
"You didn't even check?" Megumi asked. "Inutaisho, you're dumber than I ever thought you were. I don't care if they're boys or girls, but it would be nice to know. And how can you not recognize the moons?"
"I don't care about the moons; they're not from my family,"
Megumi glared at him.
"It's not that I don't care. It's just that I don't care." Inutaisho said, trying to get himself out of the hole he dug.
"That makes no sense," Megumi told him. "Look, which one was born first?"
Inutaisho shrugged. "Who cares? There's no difference. I was planning on having both of them inherit my lands when I kick the bucket, it didn't matter which one was older. Especially when they're only what – a minute apart?"
"I want to know which one is older," Megumi said. "Who is it? Momiji or Sesshomaru?"
"You mean is it Kiara or Inutaisho Junior," he said. "Anyway, I don't know and I don't care. A minute is nothing. They're the same age."
"I'm not naming my son 'Inutaisho Junior'!" Megumi told him. "I hate your name! 'Kiara's' a nice name, though I'd prefer 'Momiji'. I'll go with 'Kiara' but not 'Inutaisho Junior'."
"If we name the boy 'Sesshomaru', then he'll never know how to pronounce his name," Inutaisho said.
"He's my son, he's not as stupid as you are,"
"But they're good-looking. They're obviously mine." Inutaisho said.
Megumi rolled her eyes. "Whatever,"
Inutaisho sighed. "Fine. I wanted 'Kiara', you wanted 'Sesshomaru', we each get one of the names that we want."
"Works for me," Megumi agreed. "So, who's older?"
"I don't know and I don't care,"
"Who's older, Inutaisho? The servant gave you two babies that do have differences in their appearances. Was it the boy or the girl that came first?"
"I didn't know one was a boy and one was a girl before you told me. How would I know? I didn't even notice the moons. You should know, they came from you." Inutaisho said.
"Oh, yeah, Inutaisho you're right!" Megumi said sarcastically. "I've been sitting here eating plum-balls for the past thirty hours!"
Inutaisho rolled his eyes.
"Fine, I'll pick who's older," he said. "Uh … the one who's older is …"
Inutaisho looked at both of the babies. Kiara was the one who had her eyes open, while Sesshomaru's were closed. Inutaisho looked into Kiara's bright golden eyes. He remembered that the first baby had their eyes open a crack. He could assume that the same child figured out how to almost open their eyes all the way.
"Kiara's older," Megumi said. "She has her eyes open. It's just an assumption."
Inutaisho nodded. He was thinking the same thing.
It was amazing, how fast Kiara and Sesshomaru were learning things. They were both very advanced for babies, as well as adorable. At now four months old, they were already sitting up, crawling and talking gibberish. Inutaisho thought that the babies had some way to communicate using the gibberish language. An interesting thing that both Inutaisho and Megumi observed was that they never saw Sesshomaru and Kiara apart from each other. Now that they could sit up, the two babies were always cuddling somehow. It was truly adorable. Inutaisho had tried a lot of different 'experiments' as he called them with the twin babies. These 'experiments' would consist of him putting them on other sides of a room or somehow separating them. Megumi finally blackmailed Inutaisho to stop doing this, since every time Sesshomaru and Kiara were separated, if even separated for a second, they would start screaming and crying as if someone was torturing them. Every time, when Megumi brought the babies back together, the kids would be hugging each other as if they haven't seen each other in years.
