Chapter 5

The ultimate showdown Sounga vs. Titanic.

It's now October 28th and Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, Leann Rin, and Kohaku. Are at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia California. Kagome is now three months pregnant and is showing a small belly. The first breeder's cup race will start in thirty minutes. Sango is riding filly triple crown winner Smart Lady. In the Breeder's Cup Distaff. Kohaku is riding Priestess in the juvenile fillies. Leann is riding Sounga in the juvenile. It's tomes for the juvenile both Smart Lady and Priestess won their race. Kagome, Sango, Kohaku, Rin, Miroku, and Sesshomaru are sitting in the grandstand. Inuyasha is tacking Sounga in the paddock. And Leann is getting changed into Inuyasha's red, white, and gold silks.

They have all seen Naraku's colt Titanic. The colt is big, black, and looks like a winner. But Inuyasha still thinks Sounga can win. Just then Leann came out and petted her red chestnut friend. Inuyasha chuckled and said "Rampage is the speed. So keep Sounga in third until the turn for home." Leann nodded and Inuyasha gave her a leg up. As the horses came out onto the track. Inuyasha joined everyone the grandstand. Sitting near by is Naraku who thinks Titanic will win. Jut then announcer said "Here are the horses for the Breeder's Cup Juvenile. Number 1 is Wolf Man, Number 2 is Rampage, Number 3 is Sounga, Number 4 is Song Bird, Number 5 is Titanic, and Number 6 is Clever Boy." The horses warmed up then went to the starting gate.

Leann has ridden in the Breeder's Cup before. So she isn't nervous at all. Soon all colts are in the gate. Just then the gate slammed open and six ran out. Rampage took the lead followed by Wolf Man, Sounga, Titanic, Song Bird, and Clever Boy. They ran down the home stretch then turned onto the back stretch. Now Rampage, and Wolf Man have the lead. Followed by Sounga, Titanic, Song Bird, and Clever Boy. At the turn for home Sounga, Titanic, and Clever Boy made their moves. The three colts ran by Rampage and Wolf Man. Now three colts are battling for the lead. Down the home stretch Leann yelled "Come on Sounga let's win this race." Both Titanic and Sounga changed leads and charged toward the finish line. As the black and red chestnut colt battled for the lead.

The crowds in the infield and grandstand are going wild. Titanic and Sounga crossed the finish line together. Leann pulled up Sounga and started to cool him down. Just then the announcer and "The winner is Sounga." The crowds went went wild and everyone with Inuyasha went to the winners circle. After the picture in the winners circle. Leann left to weigh out and change. Everyone lead Sounga to the shed row. While Kagome bathe Sounga. Everyone else started to pack. Just then Lean came back. She helped Kagome with the colt. Then they lead Sounga, Priestess, and Smart Lady to the trailer. As they loaded the horses into the trailer. Naraku appeared leading Titanic toward the family. He looked at Inuyasha and said "Everyone is official you now own Titanic."

Inuyasha nodded and said "That's what you get for betting against my horses." He took Titanic and loaded him into the trailer. Leann and Sesshomaru aren't going back to Kentucky. They are going on their cruse to Hawaii. Once back in Kentucky Inuyasha had Kagome go up to the main house to rest. Rin unloaded Titanic, Kohaku unloaded Sounga, Sango unloaded Priestess, and Inuyasha unloaded Smart Lady. Smart Bet nickered as his stable mates were lead into the barn. But when Titanic stopped in front of his stall. Smart Bet became very quiet. The two colts smelled each other then nickered. Rin put Titanic in his new stall next to Sounga's stall. Miroku came back into the barn.

He had gone up to the main house. To put the Breeder's Cup trophies in the trophy room. Miroku went into the office and asked "Inuyasha do you know if Sesshomaru and Leann will be home for Thanksgiving and Christmas?" Inuyasha shook his head and and said "No they won't but they will send Christmas presents." Miroku nodded and asked "How are we going to train Smart Bet during the winter?" Inuyasha sighed and said "We're going to heavily train him until we can't train on the track anymore. Then we'll leave for Dubai two weeks early. My brother and Leann should be back by then."

Miroku nodded again and said "You realize Kagome can't go with us to Dubai." Inuyasha looked up from the computer and said "I know that that's why I'm having Rin and Kohaku stay with her." After talking Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango went to the main house. Kohaku and Rin went to their house. In the morning after breakfast. Everyone went to do their chores. Kagome can still do chores she just isn't aloud to lift heavy things. Now that all the horses are outside and the chores are done. Sango is tacking Smart Bet to take him to the practice track. In the mare half of the stallion and mare barn. Kagome and Rin are getting ready to name and wean. Lady Kikyo's, Lady Luck's, and America's Spirit's foals.

Lady Luck's foal is dark chest nut with no markings. Rin and Kagome decided to name him Luck of the Irish. Next they named Lady Kikyo's filly Tenseiga. And finally they named America's Spirit's filly America's Fire. Tenseiga is dark gray with a sword shaped white stripe. And America's Fire is copper chestnut. With a white spot in the shape of a flame. After naming the foals Kagome and Rin lead them to the weanling and yearling barn. They put Luck of the Irish, Tenseiga, and America's Fire in their new stalls. Then they went to the practice track. When they got there they saw Miroku watching Sango warming up Smart Bet.

Kagome looked at Miroku and asked "Where is Inuyasha and Kohaku?" Miroku smiled and said "Kohaku went to Kenneland for the 5th and 6th race. And Inuyasha is in the mare stallion barn. Sesshomaru called today to retire Smart Lady." Kagome's eyes went wide and asked "Why does he want to retire Smart Lady?" Miroku sighed and said "Sesshomaru said that he doesn't want to rick Smart Lady getting hurt. And he wants to end her career on a good note." Kagome nodded and watched as Smart Bet cantered by. Just then Miroku said "Ok Sango tome to breeze him seven furlongs." Sango cantered Smart Bet to the 7/8 pole. Then she crouched lower in the saddle and Smart Bet took off. At the same time Miroku started his stopwatch.

When the colt ran by Miroku stopped his stopwatch. Sango pulled up Smart Bet and started to cool him down. Rin then asked "How did he do?" Miroku looked at his stopwatch and said "He got the job down in one minute flat." Kagome left and went into the mare and stallion barn. Then she went into the office and asked "What are you doing honey?" Inuyasha looked up from his work and said "I'm trying to figure out which stallion to breed which mare." Kagome walked over and sat next to Inuyasha and looked at the papers. She looked at the papers and asked "How about we breed Mohawk to Lady Kagome, and breed Inuyasha's Pride to Lady Luck?" Inuyasha nodded and said "Very good idea Kagome."

He rubbed Kagome's small belly and asked "How about we breed Lady Kagome and Lady Kikyo to Shaman instead?" Kagome gasped and said "You are willing to breed Lady Kagome and Lady Kikyo to Shaman." Inuyasha nodded and continued to rub Kagome's pregnant belly. Shaman is a 14 year old blood bay stallion with a white spot on his forehead. He has a black mane and tail and has two black stocking on his two front legs. Shaman also has two white socks on his back legs with black above them. In his day Shaman was a champion he won the triple crown. He also won the Breeder's Cup Classic and the Dubai World Cup. Of course he won those races for Inuyasha's father.

Just then the phone rang and Inuyasha picked it up. Five minutes later he hung up and said "Well that's the sixth broodmare owner to book Tetsusaiga, Inuyasha's Pride, and Shaman. And ever since Sounga won the juvenile. Owners and trainers have been offering to buy him." Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and asked "How much are they offering? And will you sell Sounga?" Inuyasha smiled and said "They're offering anywhere form $900,000 to $2,000,000. And no I'm not going to sell him." After doing paper they went to their homes. It is December 25th Christmas day. Kagome is now five months pregnant. Her belly has gotten a bit bigger. Inuyasha and Kagome found out that they are having one baby. But they didn't want to know the baby's gender. because they want to be surprised.

Kohaku and Rin are at the main house to open presents. Just like they said Sesshomaru and Leann sent presents. They also sent a letter telling everyone how their honeymoon is going. Inuyasha smiled and said "I'm glad those two are having fun." After opening presents Kohaku and Rin went to their house. Sango and Miroku fell asleep on the couch. And Inuyasha and Kagome are sitting together on the sofa. Inuyasha sighed and said "It's a good thing we heavily trained Smart Bet before the practice track became snow covered." Kagome nodded and said "Yes it is." Inuyasha covered himself and his wife with blanket. Soon the two of them fell asleep. What they don't know is that. They all will be tested soon.

Coming soon chapter 6.
