The Twin brother

Ch.3: The Birth of Inuyasha

2 weeks has passed since that day they had the picnic. The baby would surely come any day now. The doctor that visits regularly said she should have it in a few days. Kenji didn't really care if it turned out to be a girl, either way he would care for the baby. Everyone was asleep in their chambers when she started going into labor. Kinji shot up out of his bed at the sound of her scream and quickly ran to his father's chambers. Sesshamarou heard it too but only walked to his father's chambers as if he could care less but was only curious. Kenji made it to the doors of his father's room and opened the sliding door holding his lantern in his hand.

Looking at her he asks his father " is she in what the doctor called labor father?"

His father is holding her head trying to support her as much as possible since the doctor had suggested that he do it when the time came. He looked up at Kenji and ordered him to get some hot water and some bath cloths and Kenji Ran past Sesshamarou on his way out the door. Sesshamarou walks to the door and leans on the doorframe and yawns and stretches.

"What's going on my lord?" Sesshamarou asked father

" Haven't you even once listened to the doctor that visits here regularly? She's in labor... use your brain Sesshamarou. You can tell by looking at her" He said to him in cross tone.

He says nothing in response and now Kenji runs through the door past Sesshamarou accidentally bumping his shoulder. Seshamarou growls at him already annoyed by what his dad said to him.

Inutaisha looks up at seshamarou " Now is not the time for that. Either you help out or go back to bed and I will deal with you in the morning."

Sesshamarou knew what that meant and he didn't want that, so he decided it would be best to help out.

"What do you want me to do to help?" He replied.

" I want you to go fetch the doctor and get him here as fast as you can then when you get back you can go back to bed. Kenji will stay and help the rest of the night," he says as he wipes the sweat from her head telling her he loves her.

This was actually the first time he even heard his father say those words to her. Sesshamarou runs to get the doctor.

She stayed in labor for hours and sesshamarou could not sleep from hearing her cries. As he lay in his bed looking at the ceiling. He could hear the servants and Kenji running around all through the night getting more water and towels. He was mad at Kenji for excepting that half breed as a brother. He laid there silently thinking of what his father said on that day of the picnic. "Why did father give me the sword of life and give Kenji the sword of Destruction and protection?" He thought to himself. The crying stopped a few hours before dawn and Sesshamarou finally fell asleep. Kenji stayed up all night and never went to bed. He was excited about getting a baby brother.

Inutaisho walks out the room with Kenji wiping the blood from their hands. " You did good son... I can tell you really care about your new mom and your little brother." He says to Kenji smiling.

" I sure do father, I love them very much and I promise to protect them if I need to." He replies looking at his father smiling.

"Well you go get some sleep.. the sun is up and you need rest. Why don't you sleep in?" He says to Kenji putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Alright father but if you or mom need me just come wake me and I'll be there in a flash." He says then yawns.

His father laughs a little "You're a good kid and I'm very proud of you for what you did tonight. Now go to bed."

With that being said Kenji heads to bed and strips off all his clothes and slowly gets under the covers and instantly falls asleep.

Inutaisho goes to bed himself and Kana fell asleep holding the baby. He looks at her all-clean now; the servants had cleaned up everything. He loves her very much and walks to her and gently brushes the bangs from her face so as not to wake her. The slowly he changes out of his blood stained clothes and puts on another sleeping Kimono then hands one of the last maidens leaving. "Burn this," he told her. She bowed and replied, "Yes my lord"

He crawls into bed next to her and finds sleep himself.

Days pass by since Inuyasha was born and Kenji now often helps out with him.
