Arriving at the den finally, Ichigo was in the lead towards his den, as soon as heard her cry out in pure pain, he rushed even more to return to her side.
Stepping into the dimly lit room, he fell to his knees besides his mate, taking her hand in his, as she slowly turned to look at him. Her blue-violet eyes bulged as she began to cry a now physical cry more then one made of her pure emotions of despair, knowing that her mate was here to help her.
InuYasha looked down to where his angel began to open her eyes, moaning groggily. "Inu-Yasha...Where are we?"
Nuzzling her, he purred setting her down gently on her feet.
Catching the over-whelming scent of blood, Nanashi reeled her body back towards where the scent was coming from. In shock, her hands shot up to cover her mouth which had dropped in shock and fear; fear for her aunt, whom laid bleeding on the ground.
Kouga quietly entered the room, seeing his mate rush into the wolves' dens. Slipping his arms around Kagome's waist, he pulled her against his chest, as Kagome's large doe eyes looked up at him with worry.
Nanashi slowly made her way towards her aunt, ignoring the growls of warning, which erupted from the man besides her. Turning back around to look towards her mate and the lord and lady of the wolf pack, she stated, "The baby's stuck. It's breeched in the womb. If we are to save her, we need to work fast."
Nodding, Kouga gave her the right to touch one of his upper class females of his pack. This would have been uncalled of, if she had no relation to her, for she had been exiled from the pack.
Approaching her Aunt, Nanashi kneeled before her entrance, as she waited for the next contraction. With her right hand ready, fingers tightly together, Nanashi shoved her hand as gently as she could into her entrance, searching for what was caught.
Catching a leg, in the birth canal, she reached further up, and found the other one, pulling it down to be with the other one.
Taking a calming breath, she slowed her breathing down from its hyped-speed. She was so worried that her heart had began to race and her breathing had excelled.
Grabbing each arm, and pulling it to the baby's side, the newborn began to finally come out. Catching it as it came out, she noticed it was blue. Moving away from her and Ichigo, she tried to find out the reason it was not moving. She knew it had been alive in the birth canal, because of its free movement as she prepared it for birth.
Noting its blood- clogged nose, she cleaned it, and blew into its mouth, filling its lungs, coaxing it to breath its first breath of air. Quickly she moved her lips, as she heard the small child cough. Smiling to herself, she pulled a blanket out of the pile and wrapped it around the newborn, holding it to her chest to calm it. It had yet to cry, and it was small.
Smaller then it should have been. Turning back around, she noticed Yume was still in labor. Not understanding this, she handed the baby to InuYasha, returning back to her previous post.
'Another? But I only heard one heartbeat...' Gazing down, she put her hands down to accept the head that graced the world for the first time. As it hit the world's cold air it began to screech, sending Ichigo to the ground, covering his ears from the shrill.
Smiling, she wrapped the baby male quickly, putting him to her chest, before handing him to his mother, whose arms outstretched, begging for him in a silent manner.
Turning back around, she took the baby from her mate, and gazed down at it, opening the blanket a bit to see what gender this one had been. Girl. Walking softly over to Ichigo, she presented him the other baby, as the group left quietly to leave the new family alone to prepare for the celebration and naming ceremony.
Kagome pointed to a room where InuYasha and Nanashi could stay and rest. She would have to talk to her mate about letting Nanashi and her mate return back to the pack.
After all, Nanashi had just saved four lives. Two of which had been defenseless children that where innocent.
Yes, I know this chapter is short. But up next is the Naming ceremony.
Anyway, thank you for reading. Review and I shall love you forever!
