Chapter 6

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha. I'm kinda glad I don't.

Chosen

Its been two years from that day. Still I cannot choose. I'm now eighteen the marriage age. Inutaisho is pushing me to choose. I spent a lot of time with Sesshoumaru and well I feel like we have more in common but something about Shiro draws me to him. Kiana brings me from my thoughts. She is pregnant by nine months. It was surprising on how she could still walk. Her belly was huge!

" Kora. Lord Inutaisho wants to see you." I was training with some soldiers.

" Sure. I'll be there in a bit." I said while throwing one of them to the floor.

" Now Kora." She said in a very stern voice. Those mother instincts were kicking in and were driving me insane.

" Yes Mother." I was joking around. Her face grew pure red. I put away my sword and walked with her to the private study. I knocked once and entered. " My lord you wanted to see me."

" Yes. Have a seat." I sat in front of the desk. Kiana left so it was just Inutaisho and I. " Prince Shiro will be leaving tomorrow afternoon. He wants you to come with him. I need in answer by midnight."

" Yes my lord." I walked to the door and left. Great! Just what I need right now. To make a stupid decision over two boys!

" Kora!" yelled Shiro.

" Hey Shiro." I said and walked over to him. He was sitting by the cherry blossom tree. I sat next to him.

" These are for you." They were daisies. Not my favorite flower.

" Thank you." I took them. Later I'll throw them out.

" Will you come with me?"

" I don't know. You've been really sweet to me but this is where I belong its hard to leave it."

" I understand." He said in a sad voice. I knew he missed his homelands.

" I have to go." I walked back to the palace to my room. I bumped into Sesshoumaru. " Sorry." I said while blushing.

" Its ok. Here." He handed me red roses my favorite.

" Thank you." I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

" I heard that your leaving."

" No. Your father is making me decide whether to leave or stay."

" Oh. Whats your favorite color?"

" Now why would you ask me that?"

" Just wondering." He said.

" Well I really don't know. I guess red. Since it's the color of a rose."

" Well…. I'll see you later then." He kissed my cheek and left. I only allow Sesshoumaru to kiss me. For it seemed right. A servant came running up to me.

" My lady. Kiana is giving birth to twins!" I ran with her to the guest bedroom where I let her stay till she gave birth. Shiro and Inutaisho came with me but had to stand outside while I went in and supported her.

After three in a half-hours of labor. She gave birth to two beautiful girls. Kiana let me name one of them, Amaya and Etsuko were their names. Both had beautiful brown eyes and Etsuko had cute doggy ears on her head. I let Kiana rest and took the babies outside to Naraku and the other people who wanted to see them. That felt like forever until Sesshoumaru pulled me aside.

" Well?"

" Well what?"

" What was it like for delivering babies?"

" Lets see. She squeezed my hand so hard I think she broke a bone and she screamed a lot so I had to cover my ears."

" Sounds like fun."

" I'm never going to have children."

" Why?" He asked worry in his voice.

" Because your in a lot of pain. I mean its worth it in the end but-"

" Kora. Kiana wants to speak with you."

" I'll talk to you later." I walked into the room. Kiana looked tired. " Hey Kiana you wanted to talk to me."

" Yeah."

" How do you feel?"

" Like someone hit me with a tree."

" Ouch that would hurt."

" Yep. How are the babies?"

" Good. Naraku is holding them."

" Are you going to leave?"

" I don't know."

" Please don't I need help raising my kids."

" But you have Naraku, Kiana. You don't need me."

" Yes I do. We're friends remember." Silence. " What's on your mind?"

" I'm in love with Sesshoumaru. However, Shiro…. There is something about him that draws me to him."

" Follow your heart. It will lead you in the right direction. I know I did and I found Naraku."

I didn't answer her. Night was appoaching and fast. Time was against me.

Midnight….

A servant came and walked me to the private study. Shiro and Sesshoumaru sat by the desk but rose when I came in. They growled at each other.

" Boys sit." They both sat.

" Kora whats you decision?" I didn't answer. I was scared, if I choose Shiro, I would lose Sesshoumaru and my homeland.

" Kora? Your zoning out on me again."

" I…I…I'm sorry Shiro. I prefer to stay here with my family." He looked so down. I walked to Sesshoumaru and did something I should I done two years ago. We kissed a very very passionate kiss. One that I will never forget. Shiro and Inutaisho left. Sesshoumaru pulled me closer to him. I pulled away for a breath. " That was amazing." He laughed.

" It was." Again, we kissed for the longest time.
