Hey so I have ANOTHER PRESENT for you all.

I am reposting 'Everlastingly Bonded By Love'!

Chapter 6: Stolen Monk

Inuyasha jumped over the woods and through the barrier with his mate and pups in his hand. They had had their nap and an early lunch. Usually Inuyasha didn't mind carrying them all, but Kagome had to bring a bunch of stuff in her big bag.

Inuyasha sniffed out a clean stream pretty close by and headed straight for it. He came to a stop. It was a normal stream with a village about one mile from it. It was clean and Kagome was impatient.

He let them off his back and the backpack dropped with a thud. He crossed his arms and had to admit it was very hot out and his haori wasn't helping. He mad a low growling in annoyance. He looked over at Kagome she was in a two piece, with bathing suit, whith a some peach designs. She was leaning over and making sure the twins were fine. They were in little baby suits. Kagome's hair was up in a slightly messy ponytail.

Kagome looked over at Inuyasha and saw him looking her way.

"Well are you coming in?" She asked.

"Feh, no." He said simply and walked under a nearby try for shade and removed his red haori to cool himself off. He watched Kagome get in and bring the twins in with her to a low part so they could stand. They splashed around a little and Kagome just cooled herself up by moving into deeper water.

Inuyasha closed his eyes and tried to sleep as the heat flooded over his form.

Suddenly there was a crying. Inuyasha opened one eye lazily and looked at Umi crying. Kagome swan over to them wondering what was wrong and saw nothing. She picked up Umi and rocked her a little to sooth her tears. Uchuu looked and started crying himself.

"Inuyasha." Kagome said.

"What?" He opened both eyes.

"Help." She ordered. Inuyasha huffed and got up and grabbed Uchuu from the water and held him with one arms as he let the other hang down. Uchuu cried into his shoulder.

"Hmm?" Inuyasha sniffed Uchuu. He smelt blood. He pulled away and looked at Uchuu's arm and saw claw marks, they were small. "Kagome look." Inuyasha showed her and she gasped. She looked at Umi and noticed she had claw marks on her wrist.

"You think they hit each other?" Kagome asked sadly. Inuyasha looked at her frown.

"Don't worry about it. They were probably just playing. It's not that big of a deal." Inuyasha said as he subconsciously began rubbing Uchuu's back. He looked down at Uchuu a moment later and saw him sleeping cozily against Inuyasha's shoulder. "Ahh.." He said a little nervously. He heard a giggle come from his mate and looked over at her.

"You two look so cute like that." She said.

"Hey!" Inuyasha responded angrily. Uchuu moved on his shoulder a little and tried to move his ears from his fathers loud tone. "Hmm?" Inuyasha sniffed the air and smelt someone familiar coming their way.

He looked over to the trees and saw Sesshomaru come out with a stern look on his face.

Sesshomaru noticed the small little family and once again had a small feeling of envy towards his brother. He took a good sniff of the air to confirm his suspicions.

"You just can't keep your hands off her, brother." Sesshomaru commented, causing a blush to form on Kagome and Inuyasha's faces.

"W... what are you talking about!" Inuyasha stuttered.

"She's going to have another pup so soon. You should you more precaution on timing brother. You - after all - know all the possible times when she is ready to bare pups. When she is in heat." Sesshomaru stood tall and his comment was cold as always. Inuyasha gave him a glare.

"I wasn't paying attention." He mumbled like a small child who just got in trouble and was trying to make an excuse. He looked down at his son and Uchuu stirred. His ears and nose twitched before his eyes opened slowly. He looked over to his uncle and smiled. "Hey who are you criticizing anyway? At least I have someone to bare my pups!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome smacked the back of his head.

"Owe." He rubbed it. "What was that for?"

"That was mean." She hissed. He grunted in reply.

"He started it." Inuyasha would have crossed his arms if he had not been holding Uchuu.

"I will take a mate of my own soon enough brother." Sesshomaru stated, causing Kagome and Inuyasha's eyes to widen in surprise. "For now, I will help protect yours. Dayu is nearby, so I warn you now keep your mate and pups safe."

"I don't need your help protecting them."

"I am not asking if you need it. I do it because it is my duty." He turned around and sauntered away.

Inuyasha watched him go, but noticed Sesshomaru's scent just beyond the trees. He was just standing there, as if he was waiting for something.

"Kagome, I'll be right there." Without another word Inuyasha jumped off to where Sesshomaru stood and waited. "What the hell are you still doing here?"

"I didn't wish to worry your mate. Last time I got a sniff of Dayu he was on his way to that village near your forest. I assume he's going to attack your friends." This time when Sesshomaru left he kept going. Inuyasha looked after him. 'Oh, no. Sango and Miroku won't be able to fight Dayu.' Inuyasha thought worriedly. 'Damn it! Kagome can't know about this. I'll have to leave tonight and hopefully be back by morning.' He walked off back to Kagome and their twins.

Meanwhile

Dayu stood in front of Miroku and Sango. 'Now, how should I go about this?' Dayu wondered. He looked back and forth from Miroku to Sango. 'I can not waist time here.' He used his poisonous whip and wrapped it around the monks waist. Miroku howled in pain.

"Miroku!" Sango went to grab towards him, but Miroku was pulled into the air by the whip.

"Huh? What's going on?" Shippo walked out and rubbed his tired eyes. When they fully opened they immediately widened. "Miroku, Sango!" Shippo ran to Sango's side and looked up and Miroku and than Dayu. "Fox fire!" Shippo yelled as he threw it at the whip. It was to weak to have any effect on me.

"Fool, your mere attacks can not harm me." Dayu glowered at Shippo. The poor kit scrambled behind Sango in fear.

"Sango!" Miroku called. "Run, get out of here!" he called.

"I won't leave you!" Sango said as tears started to fill her eyes. She cursed her emotions and ran forward to try and grab Miroku, but fell on her bottom when Miroku was pulled farther away with a sudden jerk.

"If you want the monk back you will have to have Inuyasha come for him. He will know where to find me." Dayu said and disappeared with Miroku.

"Miroku!" Sango screamed as she tried to chase the shadow, but it was to no avail. "Miroku.. no.." She collapsed to the ground in tears. "How am I supposed to find the others?" She cried. Inuyasha and Kagome never told her exactly where they lived. She couldn't just wait until next time they visited!

Meanwhile

Inuyasha lay on the bed with his hands behind his head as he stared up at the cealing. Kagome and the pups were already asleep. Now was his chance to leave. The only thing was he was worried he wouldn't make it back by morning and would worry Kagome more than telling her would. She didn't deserve anymore stress and at this rate might not even be able to handle it.

Inuyasha sighed and rolled over and out of the bed he went and walked over to Kagome's side and placed a hand to the bed to the left and put the other one on her right cheek. he gently used a claw to streak her soft skin.

"Kagome, I love you." he kissed her forehead lightly. 'I'm sorry I have to leave like this, but I'll come back soon. I promise. Just please don't worry.' He directed his thoughts to his beloved Kagome. She stirred slightly as if understanding. Inuyasha smiled and pulled away and grabbed his sword and haori top from the side of the bed.

After putting on his haori he went to Umi and Uchuu's room. He looked down into the crib of the two sleeping pups. He smiled again. He was very proud of them. They were to strong, good looking pups. Any parent would be proud.

He frowned after a moment. He was sorry that they had to be hanyou's though. If they were human or demon they'd be better off in life. Than Dayu wouldn't be after them and humans and demons wouldn't criticize them. he was pretty confident fewer humans would criticize them than the amount he was criticized by. That would be because Kagome was their mother and he was their father. Kagome and Inuyasha both protected and saved many humans on their journeys and probably already had legends going about their heroic acts, so their kids might even end up getting praised for their parents good deeds.

"Goodbye you guys." Inuyasha said pushing their hair from their faces. "Take care of mommy while I'm gone." With that he left and headed to Kaede's village.

He got there in no time and went straight for Sango and Miroku's. When he got there he was overcome with the smell of salty tears.

He entered the hut and saw Shippo and Kirara trying to calm down a hysterical Sango.

"Sango?" Inuyasha questioned. Sango's head shot up and she frantically wiped her tears.

"You're hear! Thank god." She stood up and walked over to him. "Please you have to go..."

"Go where?"

"Let me finish. You have to go and save Miroku. Dayu took him and said you would know where to find him. Your the only one who can go and save him, so please hurry." She practically pushed him out the door.

"Hold on! I have to get back to Kagome and my pups. I can't just go and play hero all the time."

"But you have to!" Sango's mood changed to angry. "You can't just leave him. Go!"

"Alright, I'll go, but you have to do something for me."

"What?"

"Don't tell Kagome what's going on. If she comes and asks do not, under and circum stance tell her Dayu took Miroku. She's under enough stress as it is."

"Inuyasha, she can handle some stress. She'll be worried like crazy if she doesn't know where you are."

"No, she can't handle it. She's under enough as it is. She's pregnant again, okay. So keep it to yourself and if she wants to know tell her I will be back soon."

"What did you say?" Sango's eyes were wide.

"What?" He didn't like that look.

"Kagome's pregnant again." She began to glare. "You idiot!" She smacked his arm hard and he rubbed it. "Poor Kagome.. how could you do this to her. She has enough to worry about. You should have paid more attention to your timing." She hit him again.

"Will you stop that? She's fine alright. Just don't tell her." he said and left. Now he had to know where Dayu took Miroku. How the hell did Dayu expect Inuyasha to know where he took Miroku.

Than it hit Inuyasha. Of course. How couldn't he have thought of it earlier. 'But that's take me a couple days to get to. I can't stay away from Kagome that long. She'll kill me.' He frowned, but there was no choice. He continued on his way to where Dayu would be.

Meanwhile

Kagome stirred. She opened her eyes and had a cold feeling run down he spine. She looked around and realized where the feeling came from. Inuyasha was no where around.

Next is chapter 7. Review if you wish.
