Dislaimer:Dun own it so if you're gonna sue, go away.
Anyway, sorry it's late. I've had other stories going, not to mention i've just finished exams.
Lord Sesshoumaru gazed at the two inu hanyou, surprised and curious but not allowing it to show. It was obvious to him that these whelps were from his bloodline, but since he hadn't seen or smelt these pups before, let alone mated a ningin, it was highly unlikely that they were his. His father, InuTaisho, was a long time dead and they were much too young to be his, anyway.
So that left InuYasha.
However, the fact remained that the mongrel had not gotten these two on his undead mate because they looked and smelt nothing like the mongrel's spawns. He knew, he'd grounded them into the dirt several times before, before the mongrel had turned up. These two smelt like rain and warm grass and sunlight and untapped power. The mongrel's spawns smelt like grave dirt, shade, the vague sickly smell of decay and necromantic magic. It was also obvious that, while the spores were slightly stronger than these two, the ones before him had type advantage of living heat over the grave cold of the half-undead abominations.
It only took several seconds for the taiyoukai to come to the conclusion that if they agreed, he would take them under his wing…or rather his tail.
The male was young but looked to have aged like a human and was therefore almost an adult, the female wasn't much younger, probably twins as litters were not unheard of from ningin females.
The male looked almost full demon but for a few miniscule distinctly human features, and was tall, almost as tall Sesshoumaru himself, and could have passed for his identical twin if seen by humans. Any demon would have known it was not possible for him to be full demon or brother to the taiyoukai by the scent. At the moment, he was standing alert and cautious but not provocatively, the tip of his tail twitching side to side and eyes slitted and not staring directly, the action of a pup before an unknown stranger.
The female was all but bouncing beside her brother, her ears pricked forward and if she had had a tail, it would have been wagging so hard she would have lost her centre of balance. Aside from the ears and the wolfish silver eyes Sesshoumaru had seen in a painting of one of his ancestors, she looked entirely too human for his taste. The blood of Lady Hina, InuYasha's mother, ran true in this girl; her thick inky black hair falling is a pitch black sheet to mid-back and her humanly beautiful face beaming with a puppyish adoration as she looked between the two silver-haired males with ill-concealed excitement.
"Who are you?"
Gin yipped and she jumped in surprise when the youkai spoke in a surprisingly deep voice; blushing and hiding behind her brother when both males glanced at her.
Kin turned his attention back to the inu youkai a split second after glancing at his twin, mentally growling at her for making a fool of herself. To take the golden gaze so like his own from his cowering sister, Kin chose to answer the question.
"I am Kin. And this is my sister Gin."
The other pondered this for a moment before accepting it. "And your parents?"
Gin bounced forward. "Mama's name is Kagome, but we don't know our dad's name cause Mama never talks about him. She gets really angry if we ask."
The youkai seemed to ponder this even longer before answering. "I remember Kagome. Black hair, brown eyes, indecently short clothing?" Kin threw together the time differences and figured out that, to his surprise, their mother had given birth at eighteen, thus leaving her still in high school. Kin nodded, remembering Gin's uniform.
The youkai accepted this. "She was a powerful miko when I knew her. One of the few humans I have cared to remember. Unsurprising that she would not wish to talk about the mongrel. He chose her undead preincarnation over her."
Kin narrowed his eyes while Gin's ears snapped flat against her head. "Ouch."
Both males ignored her and Kin spoke again. "You know him?"
The youkai gave the barest hint of a nod. "I am Sesshoumaru, Youkai Lord of the Western Lands, and your sire is InuYasha, my hanyou half-brother. I can take you to observe him if you wish."
Sesshoumaru observed the two as Kin allowed a low angry growl to rumble through his chestand his eyes took on a slightly red tint, while Gin stared fixedly at the ground, her muscles tense and her clawed hand clenching and unclenching.
Kin raised his deceptively mild face to stare levelly at the man, no, youkai who claimed to be his uncle. The tone he spoke in was bored and disinterested. "If you would. It seems we have a little score to settle with father dearest."
In answer, the taiyoukai smirked slightly and turned in a swish of white silk, striding off into the trees to the north.
After a moment, the twins set off after him in a wolfish gliding run/trot.
Less than ten minutes later, the three inu stood looking over a valley with a town in the centre, surrounded by rice field.
"InuYasha lives in the larger house on the other side of the village with his mate, the undead priestess Kikyou, and their three progeny, Hitomi, Ken'ichi and Kenshin. Kikyou and Hitomi both have miko powers, were as InuYasha, Ken'ichi and Kenshin are stronger then humans, InuYasha more so because of his stronger demon blood, which you two have inherited dominantly. The only hints of youkai blood in these whelps are Hitomi's silver hair and Kenshin's amber eyes."
Gin made a smug 'humpf' in her throat. Kin stared down at the village from the treeline, the slight tilt of his head the only hint that he was listening. When Seshoumaru finished his short explaination, he smirked.
"Heh. Let us go down for a closer look, shall we?" He activated the glamour and moved towards the village, his sister not far behind.
Sesshoumaru smirked. This aught to be good.
The taiyoukai moved back into the cover of the forest to watch from a distance.
