Daddy of Mine

3

Sesshomaru laid with Inuyasha as he waited for his mate to come too. It was quite enjoyable, the look that his mate had on his face before he fainted, but never the less, it would not do for Inuyasha to stress like that again. Judging by the size of the younger Inu's stomach, and how many pup's were within, Inuyasha should have been bigger.

Sesshomaru stroked silk like hair around velvet dog ears. It was worrying him that Inuyasha was still small. He knew that his brother wasn't getting enough sleep or food travling like he was. But now that he was here with him, that could change. He would make sure that Inuyasha got all that he needed for him and their pups.

The older Inu was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of a small hand knocking gently on the door. His little Rin must have been worried about him. Deciding that now was as good a time as any for the girl to meet his mate, he gave a quiet 'come in'.

The door opened quietly as a small head popped through to see her guardian lying on the bed covered up with another. She came all the way in when a hand beckoned her over to the bed. Rin moved to stand next to the side where her lord lay. She stood still, the arm not under the mystery person came and gently lifted her with ease. He carefully repositioned her in his grasp on his hip, before gently settling her to rest against his chest between him and this mystery person. Her eyes widen at the sight of Inuyasha lying there with his puggy belly sticking out.

"Papa?" Rin asked softly, so as not to wake the sleeping man next to them.

"Rin, Inuyasha is my mate now." Sesshomaru spoke in a soft whisper next to his Rin's ear.

"What do you mean Papa?"

Sesshomaru wrapped his free arm around the small child and held her in a close loving embrace. She was young and he could smell the slight tinge of fear, confusion, and apprehension coming off of her. He knew that it would take awhile for her to understand.

"You remember your mother and father correct." She gave a slight nod.

"They were together too have and love you, as mates. That is the same as Inuyasha and I."

He watched as large chocolate eyes widened as understanding dawned on her. Her guardian, the man she called 'Papa', had found a mate. That ment that she now could have a. . .

"Does this mean that Inuyasha is my mummy now?"

Sesshomaru blinked. He blinked again. He was finding it hard not to laugh, not at her but at the way he could see Inuyasha taking that. It was too perfect. Besides how could he say no, the fear, confusion, and apprehension had vanished from her scent. Leaving hope and happiness.

"If that is what you wish him to be my little one, then that is what he is." His face and voice remained passive, gentle towards her. Letting her know that inside he could not be happier at having her this happy over the situation.

Rin all but jumped her Papa as she attached herself to his neck, giving him a hug for all his worth. The arm that he had had around her squeezed gently as he returned the embrace. He watched her as she looked back at his mate. He saw the questioning look, and smelled her confusion once again as she looked at his mates round belly.

Sesshomaru raised the blanket and moved it away, exposing only a small bit of the mound that was his mates belly. He took his 'daughter's' small hand and placed it on the exposed flesh, keeping his on top of hers. A soft, small smile coming to his lips and eyes as he watched her. Rin's eyes became round as she jerked her head to look at Sesshomaru.

"He's pregnant. You will be a big sister soon." Sesshoamru said softly. His smile grew as he watched Rin's own smile spread across her face. She beamed with the happiness that she felt.

It was about this time that Inuyasha decided to wake. Turing to look at why a section of his belly felt cool, he found the little girl that traveled with his brother sitting there feeling his stomach. The picture was perfect, Seshomaru's own hand placed of her smaller one as both felt the pup's move about. Their smiles and soft spoken words comforting. He listened as Sesshomaru explained about what was to come. Inuyasha blinked at what the girl said next.

"Papa, is there more then one in there?"

"Papa?" Inuasha asked in confusion. Sesshomaru had the grace and training not to jump at being caught. He had been so occupied with telling Rin about the new family that she now had, that he had not noticed, yet again, that his mate was awake. Rin on the other hand moved quick for a human, and soon had the younger Inu in her grip as she hugged the life out of him.

"Come now, Rin, you mustn't be rough. Inuyasha needs to regain his lost strength." Sesshomaru said gently, as he pulled his pup from his mate. The girl looked up at him with worry written on her face.

"Did something happen to mummy?" Inuyasha nearly choked at her innocent words.

"Your mother has not been with me for a long time. He was traveling by himself before I could find him, and now he needs to regain his strength from being away for so long." The older Inu explanined. The little girl did not look away from her papa as he spoke. When he was finished she leaned down and gave Inuyasha a gentler hug which he could not help but return. He was surprised when she let go and laid two gentle kisses on his belly.

"Rin, isn't it time you went and tended to Uh and Um?" Sesshomaru asked as he pushed away the stray strands of hair from her face.

"Oh! That was what I was going to go do when I stopped here!" She exclaimed as Sesshomaru let her move off the bed.

"I'll see you later Papa, Mummy!" Rin called out as she dashed to the stable to care for her friend.

Once the Rin was gone, Inuyasha moved to sit up. His stiff muscles protesting all movement quite venomously. Holding back curses, Inuyasha let himself hiss as he tried to stretch. Sesshomaru watched him closely noting how stiff his mate was. He allowed Inuyasha to sit up on his own power before moving them both so Inuyasha sat infront of him, between spread legs.

"What are you do-. . Oh that feels good." Inuyasha ground. Sesshomaru cutting all questions and protest off as he began to work out all of his mates tension.

Sesshomaru's hands gently tossed Inuyasha's mane over one shoulder as he began his work. Strong hands set about the task of working out all strain and tension. He started at the base of Inuyasha's neck, his thumbs firmly kneading the muscles there. Slowly he made his way to his mates shoulders, watching as the younger Inu's head lulled forward while gentle hands caressed his distended stomach.

Sesshomaru continued down his mates back till he reached the small of Inuyash's back. That seemed to be stiffest part of his brothers body. When he began to work the muscles there harder, giving way to better blood flow and stealing away the soreness, Inuyasha just melted. Rolling his head back to rest on his brothers shoulder as the older Inu worked wonderful magic. He began to hum, and buried his face against Sesshomaru's neck.

"This must be a dream. I haven't felt this relaxed . . . . . ever." Inuyasha purred. He did not notice the slight wince of guilt that swept over his mates face. Mate, so foreign to him, yet it felt so wonderfully right.

Sesshomaru was reluctant to stop his ministrations but there were other things he needed to tend too. Stopping slowly from the massage, Sesshomaru slipped his arms around Inuyasha pulling him closer. He buried his face into the crook of Inuyasha's neck, taking a deep breath before moving again. He slipped off the bed and held out his hands, a silent gesture to help his mate up. Inuyasha blinked, a slight pout coming to his lips at the loss of comfort and warmth.

"Come now, you will feel even better after a warm bath." Sesshomaru said softly.

It was then that Inuyasha sat still. Sesshomaru watched almost in horror as tears weld up in his mates eyes and began to silently slip down. Without thought, he dropped his mask. His face losing all of its years of hardness and shielding as he swiftly moved and sat next to his mate, pulling the Inu to him and allowing him to cry on his chest.

"What is wrong my Tenshi?" Sesshomaru asked, worried of there being something wrong.

"I. . .You. . .Damn it!" Inuyasha sobbed.

"Shh, calm down, relax. It is only your bodies reaction to the pregnacy. I watched your mother suffer the same with you." Sesshomaru cooed.

Inuyasha obeyed this stranger that claimed to be Sesshomaru. It couldn't be Sesshomaru, not at all. This imposter was too kind, his face was too soft, his words too gentle. No this was some freak that had stolen his brothers body.

"Who are you and what have you done with the real Sesshomaru!" He paused taking a shaky breath. "What did you do with the cold hearted bastard that wanted to kill me?"

Sesshomaru laid a gentle hand atop the trembling head of his mate. He held him close rocking them gently. He could understand perfectly what his brother was asking. Never before would he have ever considered taking a mate to love. Only to bear an heir. But then, he met a little girl who watched over him and put herself on the line to make sure that he healed from wounds that kept him from moving. She showed him what kindness was and that he had been missing so much in his cold life. No more, that ended now, especially with a mate and pups on the way.

"You killed him, a long time ago. When you struck with the Wind Scare for the first time. You wounded him severely, making him flee to die next to a little human girl." He said his normal tone ever presant.

"Wh-"

"He died, he will not be coming back. Not when I have a family to protect." Sesshomaru said sternly, cutting off any question that Inuyasha was about to ask.

Inuyasha gave a sniff as he looked up into bright beautiful golden eyes. He watched them shimmer in the light, reminding Inuyasha of fairy dust. He could not take his eyes from them as the moved ever closer. Inuyasha didn't even start as soft velvet lips pressed to his. A moist tongue running over his own lips, asking for entrance. Inuyasha parted his lips and allowed it to enter. He closed his eyes and gave a soft moan as the warm muscle gently explored him, teasing his own tongue before pulling away. He gave a soft mewl at the lost.

"Come now, you need to go and bathe. I have matters to attend to over the territory." Sesshomaru said softly as he pulled Inuyasha up with him.

Trio here, as before kill me later! I know Sess. is OOC but who gives a damn! look at it this way, he could be cold and mean to Inuyasha still, only to have Inuyasha protective lil group of friends kill him or you can deal with the OOC. I for one would rather deal with the OCC. so Nah!. . . . I'm severely lacking in chocolate. . . . .glares at little sister.
