Ah. This is most likely where the story will draw to a close... Maybe one more chapter, but maybe not. Remember; 200 reviews are required if you want me to have a sequal. When I get 200, then I'll go ahead and give it to you.

Chapter Fifteen: Diversity

Kagome's eyes slowly closed as her mind swam with the questions. Would her grandpa try to stick sutras on her kid for being a half demon? She hoped not. What a horrible way to be acquainted with your great grandpa.

Gramps: Ahh! A demon! He'd throw sutras at it. Meanwhile, the child would be crying or cowering from what this old thing was doing to it. She could only pray that he wouldn't treat it like an outcast. He was fine with Inuyasha, so why should he not be fine with her child? Soon enough, she did fall asleep. A releif on her busy mind.

That day seemed like a year ago as screams filled the air. Where was the demon lord, you ask? He had left for fear that he'd lose his hearing altogether. He sat outside the castle, fear filling each inch of his masculine body. When the screaming grew louder, he only wanted to go inside.

Of course, there was no way of stopping the screaming or the pain. Heonly wished he could stop both. When the screaming ceased, he stood up and walked inside the castle. He took his time so, if she started screaming, he could leave immediately. His ears were the only reason he wasn't by her side now. At least she understood this.

He looked at each decoration as if he cared what the item was or what it depicted. He couldn't care less and he had to restrain himself from running to her aid. His feet stopped moving the second he smelt her blood. This alarmed him, even though he tried to reassure himself it was perfectly normal.

Kagome screamed one more time, unknowingly driving the demon lord out once again. When a servant placed a cool cloth on her head, she began breathing hard. She thought she was done already. The pain from a few hours ago was so bad, but she hadn't imagined it would come back.

Her mother told her about pregnancies once. The pain gets really bad just as the child is coming out. Was it normal for the pain to come hours in advance? Perhaps the pain was just comeing from after the child's birth. No, she could feel her contractions.

Pain consumed her all at once, as it did the first time she was in this much pain. She screamed as loud as her lungs would let her go. When she felt as if her throat was sandpaper, she stopped screaming. With a final push, the burden in her came out.

She let her legs, which were bent, drop down as she breathed hard. Who knew having a child could be so... exhausting. The door opened, but she didn't open her eyes to see who it was. She could tell someone was coming in, because everyone grew quiet and she could hear the footsteps growing closer.

When a hand rested on her forehead, she managed to lift her eyelids. There her husband stood, smiling proudly. She smiled then closed her eyes. This was more tiring than she could imagine.

"You did well." He told her. Her smile broadened at his words then the sound of a child crying was brought to her ears. She opened her eyes immediately and made attempts to sit up. If Sesshoumaru hadn't helped her sit up, she wouldn't have been able to.

A physician came over then looked down at... that bundle of cloth was abnormally long. She handed it to Kagome and then the other half went to Sesshoumaru. Kagome was stunned. She had... two?

"This is very little, Kagome. Demons can usually have up to eight." The demon lord informed her. She looked up at him then back at the physician. She nodded, confirming Kagome's thoughts. At least she didn't have that many!

Her attention focused on the child she held in her arms. A little boy with black hair was in her arms. He had elvin ears on the side of his head, resembling Sesshoumaru's ears. The crescent moon on his head was exactly like his father's, except a slight different shade of purple. The marks on the side of his face were like his father's, but instead of having two, he onlyhad one.

The son stirred and Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru. He focused on the other child then lowered it to Kagome so she could get a good look. Silver haired and dog-eared. Almost like Inuyasha, but... why were her ears black? Kagome had read about genes and all, but she didn't know where the black dog ears came from. There was a maroon stipe on each cheek, but no crescent moon.

"They're beautiful." Kagome commented as she looked back to her son. She still could not believe that she had two half demons. They were almost opposites too. White hair, black hair. Elvin ears, dog ears. The stripes on the sides of their faces were the same, but even the colors were different.

"They are." Sesshoumaru replied. He took the boy from his mother's grasp then left the room. There they were set in crib-like beds as they slept peacefully. The demon lord looked at his two half demon children before returning to his wife.

She was asleep, and she needed the rest desperately. She had been in labor for almost 30 hours strait and had dealt with more pain than her human body could handle. Now, what did she name the children, you ask? I'll tell you. She decided to name the boy Kuromeru and the girl was named Shiroi.

Kagome took in a deep breath then looked at Sesshoumaru. "Now, if this doesn't work, then just wait here. I won't be gone as long as last time." She told him. The demon lord gave her an indifferent nod. She held the two bundles of cloth close to her then took a deep breath. She jumped into the well, a blue light surrounding her and, hopefully, the demon lord who held onto her arm.

When she landed on the ground, the demon lord wasn't by her side. She frowned then looked at her children. They had traveled with her, thankfully. She hadn't thought twice about them not being able to pass through the well. At least they did, or else she would have come here for no reason.

She pulled herself out of the well, somehow, then looked at the two kids in her arms. Both were sleeping as if nothing had happened to them. Kagome pulled herself up and out of the well, somehow. Then she walked into the house. Everyone was watching TV on the couch, making it easier for her gather everyone.

"Mom." Kagome said quietly. Her mother and her brother looked up, relieved there was some form of distraction from grandpa's show. He didn't notice her, he just kept watching TV, shouting out random numbers. Ugh. The Price Is Right.

"Kagome! I didn't expect you home for three months!" Her mother said as she got off the couch. She noticed the two bundles then looked at Kagome for an explanation.

"Demon children and half demon children take only six months to develop." She explained. Her mother spotted Shiroi then started rubbing the cute dog ears on her head. Shiroi opened her eyes, revealing golden eyes that were identical to her father's eyes.

"How adorable!" Her mother exclaimed as she took Shiroi from Kagome entirely. Souta peered through the blankets to see his nephew then smiled. He picked him up, waking Kuromeru up. The young boy stared at his uncle, having eyes that were identical to Kagome's.

Kagome took her children from her family after a while. "I promised Sesshoumaru I wouldn't take too long..." She explained. Her mother and Souta nodded then her mother hugged her tightly.

"You come back and visit soon, okay?" She commanded. Kagome nodded as her brother gave his nephew one last look. Kagome looked at the TV, seeing a soap opera on by now. Then she looked at her grandpa. He had a kleenex in his hand and was sniffing. What was it about old people liking the worse of shows!

"Bye!" She called as she ran out the door and headed to go back to the well. Perhaps, if she could get Sesshoumaru here, she'd raise them here. Couldn't be so bad...

- blaise91: I skipped all the months because I didn't want to do each day of each month. I love the story, but some days in life are just... uneventful. So, I didn't want to do every day of all six months... I'm sorry if you don't like it because of this.

If you read it, thank you. If you reviewed it, then I have a gift for you. Each reviewer gets:

- A plate of home-made chocolate chip cookies (Taste much better than the ones where you buy the dough)
- A Thank You card with your name and a lovely note
- A hug
- AND a Sesshoumaru plush doll.

Reminder, just so I can get the sequal out. (I have ideas for the sequal) This story requires 200 reviews so you can get a sequal. If I change my mind on this, I will post it on my profile. Ugh. I'm sick now. Guess I should be sleeping. It's 4am and I just woke up.
