It was dark when Sesshomaru and the others returned to the palace because Rin wanted to walk. All of the servants were happy to see Rin again; Ziyi and Okio hugged her so long she thought they would never let go.

"Lady Rin, your room is just as you left it." Okio said, finally letting her go.

"Rin will be staying in my quarters from now on." the taiyoukai said, walking past the group.

"Yes, my lord." the sisters said in unison, bowing, then leaving to finish cleaning.

Rin went outside to the garden, checking the flowers to see if they were being cared for properly.

"I made sure they were taken care of daily." a deep voice said from behind.

"I see, they look good... could be better."

Giving a soft chuckle he said; "Maybe they need your touch." wrapping his strong arms around her waist. Turning around, Rin put her slender arms around his neck and gently kissed his lips. Since being at Lady Sayuri's home, both have become more open. Now that Rin took that potion there was no reason to hold back. For about ten minutes they kissed under the stars. After she pulled away she led him to their bedroom...

Waking up, Rin was wrapped in Sesshomaru's arms, his deadly sharp claws rested gently on her abdomen, head laying in her hair.

"I like being like this, Sessh." laying down on their large bed.

"Me too, we can be like this forever." nuzzling her head.

"We can... (exhaling) wow." playing with one of his clawed hands.

"Yeah, wow." making fun of her choice of words, then falling back asleep.

One week later, they were married in a small temple filled with new and old friends. It was the temple Sayuri and Xu got married in. During the honeymoon, Sesshomaru and Rin conceived a child. Inuyasha was the only one that was shocked that HIS brother is about to have a half breed baby.

Three months after leaving the village Inuyasha and Kagome adjusted to their lives as lord and lady of the north. Hashi, on the other hand, had a difficult time living in the palace. In the village there was always someone to play with, all of his friends were there. To make things worse, it was his birthday was tomorrow, and no one seemed to remember.

"Kagome, is everything ready?" the lord of the north asked his lady.

"Yes, did you send the invitations to everyone?"

"Yep, Hashi will be surprised." Inuyasha sent out two small demon birds that Rei owned, with invitations wrapped on their legs.

Back in the village...

"Mommy, look at the bird! Why does it have scales?" little Naoko pointed at the bird with green scales on its back and blood red feathers on its head.

"Well look at this." Sango gently grabbed the bird and read the note, which read: Hashi's Sixth Surprise Birthday Party.

"Wow mommy that sounds like fun, can we go?"

"Of course we can, we'll bring some of Hashi's friends from the village along too." gently petting the bird's head.

"Sango, what's going on?" the lecher asked as he walked inside the hut, which he lived in with his growing family.

"Hashi is having a surprise birthday party and were invited!" Naoko squealed, jumping up and down.

"Really, when do we leave?" Miroku turned to his wife, pinching her bottom, which caused her to squeal. Ten years ago she would of slapped him but his lecherous ways showed he was still attracted to her.

"As soon as we gather all of the children." ignoring the pinch. It only took thirty minutes to gather seven village children plus their own three children. Sango strapped a large cart to Kirara's back while she was in her fighting form since they were going on foot. The children and Keade could sit back and enjoy the blur of the forest.

The second bird reached Rin and Sesshomaru's bedroom window. A groggy Sesshomaru grabbed the bird and read the note.

"We're going to the Northern Lands today." he flatly told his wife/mate, sitting up from his bed.

"Why?" she asked, still tired.

"It's Hashi's birthday today, we need to find a gift." Rin left the bed, rubbing her growing belly over her sleeping kimono.

"Can you send Ziyi to get a gift? She's always good at getting gifts for people." walking to the large bedroom mirror, Sayuri's mirror. Inuyasha gave it to them as a wedding present, it was the same mirror that was in the guest room Rin and Sesshomaru shared at the palace.

"Ziyi, come." he bellowed. Immediately she came in front of the screen, bowing.

"Yes, my lord?" finally lifting her head full of red hair.

"Can you run into one of the towns and buy a gift for my nephew?"

"A watercolor set, my lord?" Ziyi quickly left to retrieve the gift.

"Hai"

"Why a watercolor set, Sessh?" Rin asked, looking at his reflection from the mirror.

"He likes to draw." pointing to the grease covered picture Hashi drew as a wedding picture on the wall. It was a stick figure picture of the bride and groom.

"Ohhh... so when do we leave?"

"Two hours. Don't take too long getting dressed." smirking at her.

"Hey!" immediately turning around to face her amused mate, starring up at him with a beet red face.

"Don't get mad." giving her a kiss on the forehead, placing a clawed hand on her growing belly, feeling his child kick. A hanyou, and he couldn't be any happier.

That night Miroku and the others arrived at the palace first, Shippo and Souten were not far behind, holding hands like the goofy love struck teens they were. Inuyasha greeted them at the gates. Kagome, who was two months pregnant took their son to her time, to spend the night at the shrine with her family. This would leave plenty of time for everything in the feudal era to be ready. While she was there, she bought a large yellow cake with chocolate frosting, with "Happy Birthday Hashi" written in blue icing.

Inside the kitchen, Hashi was talking to his grandmother, about the "hardships" of being a young lord.

"Annndd, they forgot about my own birthday!" he huffed, his dog ears flat against his head.

"Oh really?" pretending she didn't know about what was waiting for him at home.

"Well, let me give you your gift before you leave." His big gold eyes lit up when she pulled out a toy truck from the closet.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, grandma! You got me a baby demon like the ones daddy talked about that live here!" jumping up to give her a hug. As soon as she put her grandson back down he began to play with his new toy.

One hour later Kagome returned with the cake hidden in a box, looking absolutely worn out.

"Mama, I saw Hojo on the way back and boy was he surprised that I had a son and one on the way." rubbing her belly, which looked like she was about four months when she was only two.

"Well, how is he doing? Mrs. Higurashi asked.

"Fine, he's a lawyer now. Hashi, time to go, say goodbye to everyone."

"Ok, mommy! Bye grandma!" giving her another tight hug.

"Bye sweetie." kissing his cheek, making his squirm in disgust.

"Cooties!" rubbing himself free of "germs".

"You know some day, you'll like kisses, especially from girls."

"No way!" turning bright red, running to his uncles room giving him a hug. Souta gave him a stuffed samurai toy and Grandpa gave another disgusting kiss on the forehead and a useless charm for protection.

"Mommy, what's in the big box?" the quarter-demon asked inside the old well house.

"Nothing, just a package for your father." jumping inside the well, Hashi not far behind. A horse demon drawn carriage was waiting for mother and child to return, taking them back to the palace. Who would've thought Kagome and Inuyasha would be lord and lady of the Northern Lands. Everything was happening so fast; moving out of the village, taking up diplomatic duties, which wasn't very hard since Sesshomaru and Rin ruled the west and Lady Reika and Lord Kanaye ruled the east. The southern lands were too busy in their own civil wars to bother with the other lands. Hashi took these changes the hardest since all of his friends were in the village and he was pretty lonely, none of the servants had any children his age to play with.

'This will do him some good.' Kagome said to herself, holding to the cake in the box like a lifeline.

I know, no Sess x Rin, sorry guys. I just wanted to do a scene with Inu and Kags as lord and lady of the north. Review!
