Chapter Eleven

"Partially correct...but...that's..." Inuyasha tried to think of a word to describe the 'news', staring

at the miko with widened eyes. He knew what a good doctor she was, so he knew she couldn't

be mistaken...and she wouldn't lie to him.

"I know..." Kagome said quietly, giving Inuyasha a glare that told him to not raise his voice

anymore. "...I...I don't know if we should tell Miroku or not...he deserves to know...if I was

him...I'd want to know too...but he already has enough to worry about..."

"You don't think that it'll survive?" Inuyasha asked, glancing down at his older brother's face.

Sesshomaru's face was etched with pain, and with each labored breath, Inuyasha gradually began

feeling sorry for his sibling.

"...I...I don't know if they'll survive..."

"-They?-" Inuyasha repeated questioningly, trying not to raise his voice above the whisper it was

currently at.

"...twins..."

"Miroku!!!" Rin exclaimed, shaking the houshi into consciousness. He cracked one eye open and

stared at the small ningen, inwardly wondering what the girl wanted. "Tell Kagome to let Rin see

Sesshomaru-sama!"

Miroku could see the drying streaks down Rin's face; the saddened look in here eyes, so he sighed

as he stood up. He didn't remember when he fell asleep, or how he could have slept in such an

uncomfortable position; his body was protesting every movement he made. Both his legs were

cramping, his sides ached, and most of all, his head was throbbing.

"Good morning, Miroku," Kagome said quietly, glancing up as the houshi walked into her sight.

She smiled weakly, remembering her conversation with Inuyasha the night before. 'I think

Sesshomaru should be the one to tell him...'

"Can Rin see Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked impatiently, glancing from Kagome to Miroku. The

miko could tell from the look in Miroku's eyes that he wanted to see the youkai lord as well, so

she nodded her head. 'I wasn't sure that Miroku would want her to see Sesshomaru in such bad

shape...'

She led them into the small room, walking back out once she saw Miroku sitting down next to the

demon, staring at his face. 'At least Sesshomaru isn't on the verge of death anymore...' Kagome

thought to herself, realizing that she had stayed up the entire night to keep a vigil over the youkai.

"Will Sesshomaru-sama be okay?" Rin asked, glancing up at Miroku. The houshi nodded his

head slowly, discovering that he was unable to pull his eyes from Sesshomaru.

'He looks so weak...how could he have been wounded so badly from one punch?' Miroku

wondered mentally, gently touching the silvery white hair that was fanned out across the pillow.

He gingerly brushed the youkai's hair with his fingers, only stopping when he realized that a pair

of golden eyes were staring back at him.

"Rin...leave us..." Sesshomaru said faintly, trying his hardest to sound threatening, but the best he

could achieve was a rasping tone.

Rin mumbled a goodbye, then left the room, her eyes filled with joy, seeing that her 'tosan' was

already awake. Miroku stared into Sesshomaru's eyes, trying to decide if the youkai had cast

some kind of spell on him.

"..." Sesshomaru glared at Miroku, wanting to know why the houshi had such an overpowering

effect on him.

"Are you feeling better?" Miroku asked, trying to end the uncomfortable silence. Sesshomaru

gave him a look that reminded the houshi so much of Inuyasha, he found himself attempting not

to laugh.

"Nani?" Sesshomaru gasped, ignoring, as best he could, the pain in his torso. 'Damn

it...Inuyasha's blow shouldn't have injured me at all...'

"Nothing, Sesshomaru..." Miroku replied quietly, noticing he was still stroking Sesshomaru's

long, silky hair, but since the youkai wasn't protesting, he continued. He was slightly surprised

when the demon lord seemed to be...soothed...by his gentle touches.

"Have you heard the rumors, m'lord?" the woman asked, her slitted eyes glancing over at

her lord and master as she continued filing her nails to sharp points. The dim light, provided by

lamps placed strategically around the room, only allowed her to see a small portion of his face,

most of all, his glowing red eyes.

"Rumors?" he repeated questioningly. His light tenor echoed through the empty stone room as he

turned to look at the hebi-youkai. She smirked knowingly, folding her pointed claws in her lap as

she started to fix her dress.

"Hai...about the Lord of the Western Lands...I've heard from my most reliable sources that he has

taken a lover...not just -any- lover, m'lord...a male ningen..." she replied, venom dripping from

the last two words of her statement.

He chuckled, remembering how many times she had tried to seduce the inu-youkai, and each time

failing. With her last failure, she ended up in his lands, where she met him. Now, the snake was

his most trusted advisor. "And why are you telling me this? Hebi, you know I care nothing about

that child..."

"M'lord...I was just getting started...my sources also tell me that Sesshomaru-sama is in quite

a...predicament..." she stated mockingly, enticing him to take the bait. She knew her master well

enough to know he was more curious than most, and that she could easily get him interesting in

any topic.

"Predicament? I believe you are attempting to make me wonder what our neighbor has been

doing within his bed..." he replied as he smiled, showing off his pointed fangs.

"M'lord...why would you ever think that..." Hebi commented, fixing her slitted dress so that both

of her thin thighs were showing.

"So, tell me your information..."

"...it seems that Sesshomaru has gone and got himself with child..." she replied, noticing

immediately the change in expression on her master's face.

"Child...well...that, I believe, will be my chance to return the...favors...Sesshomaru has given

me..." he stated, grinning broadly. He stood up from his cushioned chair and walked over to his

advisor. "How is it you want me to repay you for this information?" he asked, knowing full well

what the woman wanted.

She lifted an eyebrow as she stood up from her cushion and walked up to him. Now, being closer

to him, she could make out his delicate facial features; a small nose, high cheekbones, large,

feminine red eyes, thin lips, and a dark purple stripe running from his hairline to his glabella. She

ran her fingers through his short, midnight blue hair as she stood on the tips of her toes to reach

his mouth.

His lips crushed down on hers instantly as his arms wrapped around her thin waist. As he

deepened the kiss, he slid his nails along the other youkai's exposed thigh, making her shudder.

He, going against his better judgement, allowed the woman to snake her fingers underneath his

shirt, blindly searching for his belts. Chuckling, he broke the kiss and stared into her yellow eyes.

As his eyes roamed across her voluptuous body, he discovered he was becoming quite aroused.

"You're eyes are the most beautiful part of you..." By the slight blush on Hebi's face, he could

tell she wasn't expecting a complement. "Tell me what you know of the father..."

"Young...around two decades old..." She replied as she gave her master a predatory smile, having

finally found his knotted belts that were hidden among the sea of material. "But, the most

interesting...is that he is a houshi..."

"Houshi?" He moved his head, dodging the sensual youkai's attempt at recapturing his mouth.

"Hai...a very powerful one, from what I've heard..." She stated cooly, easily ripping the first belt

to ribbons with her nails. As she begun to remove the second belt, she froze, feeling her master's

claws scraping at her inner thighs. "M...master..."

"Powerful...and young...what else do you know, Hebi?" he asked, easily lifting the woman into his

arms, and only putting her down when they reached the cushions the youkai was lounging on a

few moments before.

"...nnn...not much...except he is a friend to...ahhhh..." She moaned again as the larger demon

straddled her hips, simultaneously removing her scant pieces of clothing. Hebi momentarily felt

afraid, remembering all the times she had tried to seduce the demon on top of her, but each time

was rejected the same way Sesshomaru did. 'He said he would never allow another creature to

share his bed...and he's never been attracted to me before...'

"Friend to who?" he asked, easily able to keep himself from groaning like the snake beneath him

was doing.

"...Sesshomaru's half brother...aaaaaahhhhhh!" Hebi screamed, her cry instantly muffled by her

master's mouth, his lengthy nails scraping the junction between her legs mercilessly. As she felt

warm blood begin to slide down her lower body, she became further aroused, the aching desire to

have the youkai in her growing. "I...Inu...Inuyasha..."

"That abomination?" 'How interesting...' He thought to himself, allowing his instincts, opposed

to his mind, lead his hands, clawing at the seductress. She screamed again, this time louder than

before, and the pain in her voice soon overpowered the cries of pleasure.

"Master!" Hebi struggled, trying to move away from the claws that were now dripping in her

blood. She looked down at her body, immediately seeing the deep gashes on her sides, breasts,

and lower body. The demon on her moved his legs closer to her sides, pressing against her raw

flesh, while he pinned both of her slim wrists up above her head with one hand. His free hand

continued raking at her body until she began crying, the silvery tears pouring down the sides of

her face as she sobbed...begged him to stop. He did, momentarily, only giving the woman enough

time to speak. "Wh...why?"

"You have served your purpose...and I'm very hungry..." he whispered sadistically as he slid his

middle finger along the youkai's jugular, leaving reddening contusions in the nail's wake. She

gasped for breath, her eyes widening in earnest fear. He smirked, putting a little more pressure

into his scraping; now, her dark red blood was beginning to drip down the side of her pale neck.

"M...Miroku...is his name..." Her statement was barely audible over the grotesque gurgling she

made as he easily, and quickly, plunged his claws into her neck, clasping her windpipe and began

ripping at it. Hebi's eyes began to close, trying to shut out the pain, but in her last moments of

seeing...anything...she felt the burning pain in her chest...then saw her master holding up

something in his blood soaked hands; her eyes remained transfixed on the beating piece of flesh

until the youkai on top of her finished with his meal, leaving the best for last.
