It was a few months after Sesshomaru had told Rin about his son and Rin's stomach was now growing and was very big even though she still had at least two months to go until the baby would be born. Rin had kept silent and not mentioned anything about it but she still had a question tugging at the back of her mind
"Sesshomaru?" Rin asked one night when they were lying in bed together, before either of them had fallen asleep.
"Yes, Rin?"
Rin turned over so that she could face him, "Have I met him? Your son I mean?"
Sesshomaru sighed a little then answered, "Yes, you have,"
"Who is he? What's his name?" Rin asked.
"InuYasha,"
Rin suddenly sat up straight in the bed. "What do you mean 'InuYasha'? I thought you two were brothers! How can he be your son?"
Sesshomaru sat up next to Rin and stroked her face, "Rin you must lie down and rest, you do not wish to upset the child," Rin slowly put her hand on her stomach, then she nodded then she lied down again and Sesshomaru did as well.
"Sesshomaru, how? How can you be his father and have no one know?"
"Because everyone who knew that his mother and I were going to be married was killed after my father claimed her as his,"
"What do you mean 'killed'?"
"Everyone in the castle knew that Izayoi was going to be mine but my father took her so he killed everyone who knew until the only people that did know were him, her, and I."
"What about his scent? Wouldn't people realize that InuYasha smells more like you than your father?"
"You see, since I have my father's blood in my veins, InuYasha also has his blood in him. Although InuYasha does carry a scent more like mine most people ignore just thinking that it is simply because we are brothers."
"Why have you encouraged the lie? By calling him your brother?"
"I did not want him to know that I would love a human."
"Well I think he knows now! I mean I am sure he has heard of our wedding and such! You should tell hi-!" Rin was cut off as Sesshomaru put his finger up to her lips.
"Maybe someday I will tell him or he will find out, but for now you are getting too upset about this. You must rest Rin, go to sleep." Sesshomaru said.
"Yes, Sesshomaru," Rin said then she turned over and felt Sesshomaru wrap his arm around her and put his hand on her stomach. A small smile showed on Rin's face as she fell asleep.

Three months had passed Rin had her baby, it was a little boy that looked a lot like InuYasha. Rin was sitting in the nursery holding her month old baby whom she and Sesshomaru had named Isamashii, which means brave.
Sesshomaru then walked in and looked at the two maids that had been playing with the baby in Rin's arms. "Leave us," Sesshomaru said, and the maids bowed and left. Then Sesshomaru went and stood behind the chair Rin was sitting in, he leaned over and nuzzled his face in her hair.
She laughed softly and then she said, "Sesshomaru I was wondering…"
"Yes?" Sesshomaru whispered quietly in her ear.
"Could we visit your other son, soon?"
"Why?"
"Because I want to see how he's doing, and I think he would be happy to hear he has a brother!"
"Rin, he already thinks he has a brother,"
"Yes, but that's what he thinks! He doesn't know that now he actually has a brother so we should go visit him and tell him the whole truth!"
Sesshomaru looked down from Rin to Isamashii, "Rin, you are too kind, if I had told any other women that I had had a previous mate, she would have gotten extremely jealous. I do not deserve you," he said giving Rin a kiss on the check. He then got up and started walking out of the room; he paused when he got to the door, "Prepare your things we leave in two days,"
He then opened the door and before he was completely out of view, Rin called after him, "Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru!"

It was a four days journey until they made it to InuYasha's village. They had made the trip with just Ah Un, Rin, Isamashii, and Sesshomaru. They had barely made it to the well when Sesshomaru sensed InuYasha coming towards them.
Out of nowhere a blur of red landed infront of them. It startled Rin and she grabbed on slightly tighter to the sleeping Isamashii who was wrapped up in a bundle of furry cloth, and wasn't visible to anyone unless they were standing over him and looking directly down at him. "Sesshomaru what the hell do you want here?" InuYasha yelled at him.
"InuYasha, I have come to tell you something you should have known long ago." Sesshomaru said.
"Feh, I already know that you married a human! Why should you come here to tell me about that! I don't care at all about that! Now get away from her so I can kill you!" InuYasha yelled drawing Tetsusaiga.
Rin took a step closer to her husband and said, "You little fool! He comes here to tell you that you have been living a lie your whole life, and all you care about is killing him! Tell me are you really that stupid as to kill before you know the truth!"
"Feh, what are you going on about!"
"My words were not beyond your comprehension! You are able to understand them fine, it's just a matter of whether you want to or not!" Rin yelled at InuYasha, her face was now turning slightly red.
"Rin, calm yourself, I will speak to him," Sesshomaru said to her.
"InuYasha! Where are you? I keep telling you not to run off like that!" said a voice that was coming from the forest behind InuYasha and then emerged Kagome who was very pregnant at the moment.
"Kagome! I told you to stay in the hut so you could be safe!" InuYasha said to her.
"How can I just sit in the hut and wait for you? I would be too worried!" Kagome said to him. It was then that Kagome noticed Sesshomaru standing across from them by the well with Rin who looked like she was holding a bundle of fur. "What are you doing here!" Kagome asked them.
"My business does not concern you, woman, only InuYasha." Sesshomaru said to her.
"Hey don't insult Kagome! Or I'll kill-!" InuYasha was cut off by a loud cry that Isamashii just let out.
Rin and Sesshomaru both looked down at Isamashii, "Shh… Isamashii, Mother is here don't worry, everything will be okay, Shh…" Rin comforted him while gently rocking him in her arms. But to no avail the baby started screaming louder and began to squirm in Rin's arms.
'So that's what she's carrying! It's her baby. I thought it was a little odd that she would be carrying a bundle of fur around with her,' InuYasha thought to himself. Before he knew it he saw Kagome start carefully walking over to the couple that were busy looking at their crying baby.
When Kagome was standing directly in front of Rin she looked down at the baby and asked, "Does he cry like this often?"
"No, he is usually a very quiet baby," Rin answered.
"May I hold him, for a moment?" Kagome asked.
Rin looked up to Sesshomaru for a response; he gave her a slight nod that would have gone unnoticed if Rin hadn't spent the majority of her life with Sesshomaru. Rin then said, "Alright," and then she handed Isamashii to Kagome.
Kagome took the baby in her arms and held him very carefully. She looked down at him and noticed that he looked like a younger version of InuYasha. She pushed aside his bangs that were on his forehead and she put her fingertip to his forehead and began saying a small chant, after that Isamashii stopped crying and Kagome handed him back to Rin. She then asked, "What's his name?"
"Isamashii," Rin answered while looking down at her baby that was no longer crying, so far she had yet to see her baby smile and it was heart wrenching to her. "Kagome how did you do that?" Rin asked.
"I am the village priestess and dealing with crying babies is just one of the services I offer." Kagome said.
Sesshomaru gave a small cough, which might have been confused for being a slight laugh, "A priestess married to a half demon and about to bare his child? Not very pure are you?"
"Hey! Don't you remember what I said I would do if you insulted Kagome!"
"You never finished what you said you would do. Don't you recall?"
"Huh? " it was right about… now when InuYasha stopped muttering like an idiot and realized what his 'brother' meant. "Hey! That only happened because that brat started crying!"
Sesshomaru was already on a short fuse being around his oldest son, and Sesshomaru would not stand for his youngest son being called a brat. Sesshomaru flashed over to where InuYasha was and he grabbed InuYasha by the throat and held him high in air, and said, "InuYasha, it would do you well to not disrespect your younger brother." Then Sesshomaru dropped him with a thud on the ground.
"What the hell are you talking about? How can that baby be my younger brother! Both my parents are dead!" InuYasha yelled while rubbing his neck.
"That is where you have been living a lie your whole life, your father is still alive, InuYasha."
"What? You mean InuTaisho is still alive?" Kagome asked.
"InuTaisho, is not InuYasha's father," Sesshomaru said to Kagome while not taking his eyes off InuYasha.
"Yes he is, he and my mother were mated!"
"That is true but you left out the beginning of the story where your mother betrayed me."
"What? That's not possible! You and I are brothers!"
"No, InuYasha, you are my son, and Rin is holding your only brother."
"No, you're lying! My mother never mentioned anything about you! She told me that InuTaisho was my father,"
"InuYasha, she most likely thought that InuTaisho was your father, but I assure you he was not. InuTaisho the great demon had only one son and then named his grandson before he died. Because nearly everyone who knew that your mother was going to be mine had been killed, everyone assumed that you and I were brothers and that InuTaisho was your father. How mistaken they were."
"Stop it! Stop insulting my mother! The thought that she would ever even think about you as a mate is ridiculous!"
"InuYasha, I will take my leave now but let me reassure you, I am your father, your mother left me the night before we were going to be married. When you over come your denial, you may seek me out," Sesshomaru then turned around and helped Rin on to Ah Un while she still held Isamashii. Then they left.
Kagome went over to InuYasha, "InuYasha, the baby Rin was holding looked an awful lot like you, do you think he was speaking the truth?"
"Feh, of course not! He probably just came to pick a fight but chickened out and came up with that lame story!"
"I don't think so, InuYasha, he brought his wife and his infant son with him. Don't you think if someone was going to go pick a fight with someone else they would have left their loved ones at home and well protected?"
"How should I know?" InuYasha said and then started off back towards the village.
'You will know someday soon, InuYasha,' Kagome thought putting her hand on her stomach smiling to herself and then walking off in the same direction that InuYasha went.
