I love the reviews. I got only a couple responses to my question but both the same answer. I will wait to do it till I get more. So here it is again. Shall I have Jaken get killed or let the ugly toad live?
Chapter five
Kouga watched from a distance and growled quietly. He was to be the mate to the young miko now Inu Yasha's older brother was her mate and gave her a child. He could be rid the child but the mate even in anger he knew better. Unless she willingly left even then it was unlikely because she seemed happy. Growling again he watched in anger. He could feel his need growing. He knew that Ayame wanted him and would be a good mate.
Kagome was like a mate to him but then again he was loosing interest but still he didn't like her hurt. But her aura radiated joy. So why was he pissed at the idea. He was confused so he leapt off the wall and headed north to get home. This meant no getting "his woman". He didn't believe that now. He was finally realizing he was wrong. She was not his.
Kagome sensed when he left. She guessed he had realized the facts and ignored it. She would be more concerned about the growing child inside her. This baby that was created in love. She would love the child no matter what. But the father was a different story. He hated his brother and was known for not liking Hanyou's but he had just created one by mating her. Then again it could be full demon because she was a miko.
"Mama what you thinking about?" asked Shippo and she smiled.
"Your new sibling." She said and placed a hand on her stomach. She then looked to the children. Smiling and pretending to be okay. Sesshoumaru what will you do if the baby turns out Hanyou. Will you love it or will you shun me and our child. She thought and walked with them to the dinning room for lunch.
Sesshoumaru was worried he knew Kagome by now would be thinking he would desert them because of the pup. It could turn out half demon. He would never leave her or the child but he would never have an heir. The lords would never let him name a Hanyou heir and he would never be with another.
"What can I do to make this work?" He thought and knew the best way to answer that would be to speak to the lords that were coming. He would need to announce his mate. He had looked through books and scrolls to see any answers to the questions he had. But nothing was brought forth. He needed to be with his mate though.
Walking the halls he came to a picture. It was of his father and mother. Smiling he noticed something. She was beautiful long black hair and had a beautiful silver Kimono on it with a gold dragon on it. Her ears hidden by the wave of her hair. He placed a hand on the picture. But he noticed something was off. Like it was hiding something from the world. He remembered his mother always seemed off. Like her demon blood was not natural. Like she was turned into a demon not born one. He had asked his father about it. Got no answer but he never pushed it.
"Was my…" Running back he grabbed a book and scroll on mating. The scroll covered mates and what the effects are. But something caught his eye. It said that in the case of humans they bare hanyou's unless the human can be changed to a demon. But not how. He was confused. Would he have been a…
"KANTARI!" He called and the servant appeared. Bowing.
"Yes milord?" The girl asked.
"Search this entire library and find information on my mother and look for information on how humans can change to demons." The servant nodding. He left and went to the dinning hall. He would need to talk to Kagome. She would want to know everything she can. Entering the dinning hall he saw them eating. Taking a seat he waited for them to finish.
"Rin, Shippo will you go and play out side. Take one of the servants with you I need to speak with your mother." Nodding the kids left.
"What is it?" She asked scared to hear the answer.
"I found that I could very well be having a full demon child also that like we both think it could be hanyou each case I would love the child. But If you could be turn demon we would have a full blooded pup and me an heir. But I also realized I could have been Hanyou like my brother." Kagome looked up.
"What?" Confused meaning she heard.
"My father turned my mother into a demon to make me an heir. That would be why she always beat herself and never once liked what she had become. She was once human." He said and remembered a fight he over heard between his mother and father.
Flashback
A young Sesshoumaru sat out side his parent's door. Hearing yelling and not understanding. His mother screaming about something but his father growling in anger. Wishing he knew why his mother was depressed all the time. She was always happy around him but he knew she was faking it for him.
"Why couldn't I remain the way I was? You didn't even ask you did! I guess like that I wasn't good enough!" She yelled Sesshoumaru winced.
"I NEEDED AN HEIR! A LORD CAN'T NAME A HANYOU AS HIS HEIR! SO I MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR MY SON TO BE ONE! I MADE IT SO HE COULD TAKE THE TITLE AFTER ME!" Said his dad and Sesshoumaru winced again the young four year old walked away. Because he didn't want his ears to bleed. Next thing he heard was a scream that shook the castle. Running back he saw his dad with blood red eyes and his mother dead. Inu Taisho left and didn't return till four months later with another human that was carrying a half demon child.
End Flashback
He never wanted to end up like his dad. He would not force Kagome. If she wanted the half demon pup he would do anything in his power to name their first son heir. His mate meant the world to him. He became cold so he would never hurt and be hurt. He had hurt many but was never hurt in return. Till she came. His mate the girl walking next to him with their first child inside her.
"Are you going to push me away when the…" He stopped and turned to her.
"Never. I am asking because if I am correct my mother was forced into changing. I will never do that. I want you happy." He said and nuzzled her neck. Think about it. He remembered another fight when his mother brought up the fact his father said the same thing.
"Kagome I want to tell you something though." She turned.
"I might need to send you away." He felt his instincts beginning to call for a demon mate.
"Why?" He knew now why his mother was forced. His father never meant to that is why they fought.
"Because I might end up doing what I said I wouldn't. I would change you against your will." She went wide eyed. "My demon blood longs for you but wants at least one full demon child. Please understand I would try anything to make it okay for a…" He saw her nod and cry calming his beast recognizing the same thing his mother used to do when no one was looking.
His beast howled. Wanting her pain to vanish. Mate not cry. Mother cried. We cause it. She wants to remain human. I will send her out crying if only to protect our child and mate. Must have full. No I will not be like my father and force her. Either you allow her to chose or we both lose her. Even if I must lock my self in those dungeons I will not harm her. Must not lose mate. The beast calmed at the knowledge of losing its mate. He calmed his aura and Kagome looked up.
"What?" She never finished.
"My beast was going to force you to be demon. I calmed it. I will do what is necessary to protect you and the pup. Even if it means sending you away and locking myself in my dungeons. I love you and will protect you even from myself." He said and pulled her close. His beast whimpering in the back ground remembering the fights his father had with his mother over what happened.
"Will you join me in a walk?" He asked and Kagome nodded and walked to the garden she loved this one. He had at least three one for Rin. One for himself and then the main one. It was amazing. The one they were walking through was Sesshoumaru's personal garden. This made it so he had a place to think and let down his guard for even a moment. Now he had a mate so when alone with her he could be the real Sesshoumaru.
Miroku had originally decided to go back and be with the girl who had said yes but. He thought he would wonder. Considering he wasn't pressed to be somewhere he would go at his own pace. Walking the lands and meeting people would get him money and he would maybe settle down. Currently heading to the east he would probably visit Kouga and inform the wolf of Kagome being mated if he didn't know.
As he wandered the land he fought a few demons. He sort of wished for a companion he was alone and needed to have someone to talk to. He missed the days when his friends were with him. Even Sango hitting him over the head. It was still around noon and he would need some food. He was about to rest when he heard a familiar attack being called. Also sensing the aura along with it.
"DANCE OF BLADES!" he had felt her presence and figured might as well check it out. As he approached he saw Kagura fighting numerous demons and her sister Kanna behind her. He noticed the wind demon was having problems. There were many of the others and one of her.
Throwing his sutra's and running in with his staff. He fought off most of them. Occasionally the two demons that were created by Naraku would help. Between the three of them the demons were killed. Kanna not doing much would absorb the attacks and shoot them back at the demons.
"What business do you have here monk?" Asked the wind witch.
"I was simply passing and heard you. I figured I would repay you for your help in the defeat of Naraku. I will be on my way now." He said and left the two demons there. Kagura looked at her sister and noticed the quiet child following the monk. Rolling her eyes and growling she followed.
"MONK WAIT!" Miroku stopped and turned. Seeing the demoness's running to him.
"The name is Miroku and what can I do for you two?" He said gently.
"We owe you our lives. Besides you look lost the village is the other way." Smiling.
"I know this I am simply wondering now. Lady Sango is now Inu Yasha's mate. Lady Kagome is with Lord Sesshoumaru. Shippo is with Kagome and Kouga if he hasn't figured out that he can't have Kagome he is with Ayame. I on the other hand am a monk and wondering the lands for a while longer. I only wish traveling companions. Maybe even the occasional helping hand when fighting. Nothing more." He said and headed east again. The girls nodded and followed the monk. Kagura thinking for once she won't mind having to listen to someone especially if they aren't Naraku.
Miroku was exhausted by night having fought five more demon ambush parties and one particularly large ogre demon he was tired. He sat on the ground having started the fire and Kagura catching dinner he stared at the flames remembering his traveling companions and him missing the fights and the laughs. Kanna sensing the pain.
"Would you like?" She held up the mirror and Miroku shook his head.
"Sorry I won't I know that those times are over." He said and stood. He needed to get over Sango move on. I loved you lady Sango He thought and laid down knowing he was probably going to never go back to the village.
Sango felt bad for some reason. It was like she knew what she had done. Miroku had been in love with her but didn't make a move. But then again she never gave him the chance. Now she was pregnant and mated. Happy though. She just wanted to apologize for hurting him. She leaned on Inu Yasha and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Asked her mate. She looked at him and kissed him.
"I feel bad for the monk. I hurt him. I bet he is alone right now. I just wish I would have told him long ago when I figured it out. I love you Inu." Kissing him he held her.
"We know he will return and then he will be with another girl." Sango nodded and took a nap. She loved him. He was always there.
Inu Yasha had known that Miroku loved her. Miroku had said so one day when the women were bathing. He was in his usual spot.
Flashback
Inu Yasha was in his tree and waiting for the women to return Kikyo hadn't shown for weeks and he was worried. Not realizing at the time Kikyo was fucking Naraku. Miroku sighed and looked to the direction of the girls.
"Don't even think it monk. I don't want to be sat because you want a look." He said and Miroku glared at him.
"I am not that bad. I love Sango and only see her in that way. I only think any perverted thoughts of her. I just wish she would give me a chance." He said and Inu Yasha nodded.
"Maybe if you didn't run to other women and asked if they would bare your child she would. Maybe even if you would tell her and not grope her. Follow your own advise." Said Inu Yasha and sat there watching the Monk.
Flashback End
He would never tell Sango that he knew of the monks feelings back then. He guessed she knew though. Right now she needed rest. After all she was with child and needed to relax. He hoped he was right. He believed his friend would come back but would the guy have someone?
Sango cuddled closer to her mate and went into a deeper sleep. She would sometimes think of what the child would be lick on other occasions dream of several children with the Hanyou she currently was using as a pillow. Lastly more recently they were dark and depressing.
Sango's Dream
She stood in the forest she could see it was night and dark. She heard her son running ahead. Only problem was it looked like Miroku. Once entering a clearing she saw Inu Yasha and his daughter then Miroku and his son. Kagura and Kanna in the back and smiling.
"Sango my mate what happened. You birthed Miroku a child? You betrayed me!" She gasped not remembering. But the boy at Miroku's side was hanyou.
"No I didn't that is not my child. I only have a daughter. I don't know where that boy came from. He is Miroku's and some other females. Not mine." She said and then ran to Inu Yasha.
"But If you don't…" She cried and bent down.
"Why must you trick him Miroku?"
"To get you back. I loved you and you mate him. The one fucking Kikyo how had Naraku in her as well. This boy is…"
End dream
"Inu…" She mumbled and cried. She was tossing and turning. She wouldn't relax.
"Sango wake up!" He said and shook her.
"Inu Yasha don't ever leave me." She said and cried. Her heart racing and tears streaming.
"I won't what were you dreaming." She explained the entire sequence and he was shocked.
"I had that dream before but from my point of view." He said and held her. Knowing that it was more then likely a sign trouble was coming. In the form of a hanyou boy. Fathered by Miroku. Mothered by either Kagura or Kanna. He was worried. Because he knew if she was following the child it would cover up the scent of the mother.
"Sango you know I love you." She nodded and buried her head in his chest.
"I love you too."
Kagome looked out her powers saying trouble but she didn't know where it was but she could feel it and knew it had to do with her friends. Looking to the direction of her friends she sighed.
"Kami look over them. Sango is in no condition to deal with another lose." She said and walked into the palace. Sesshoumaru was waiting for them. She had sat in his garden for hours. Inner was coming and then she would put her children to bed. She loved her life right now. But she was worried because of the feeling she was getting. She had a feeling one of her friends was with the wrong people and would be hurting each other.
Okay another question along with the previous. Which should it be Kagura or Kanna? I have an idea both ways. Or should there be another surprise.
