Okay thank you for the support. Here is the next chappie. Those who like Ayame don't worry I do too. I just figured for the story right now it would fit. She gets a wake up call this chappie. Also the danger isn't over.

Chapter Eleven

Kohanna was sad but she had to face the male with her heart. She had hurt him and now would face it. Following the scent she went to the garden where he and Ginta were talking. Ginta noticed her and left. Hakkaku stood and saw her there. She looked down and approached. Wishing to be anywhere but here.

"Good morning Lady Kohanna." She winced at the formality. Knowing she deserved a lot worse she walked to his side.

"Hakkaku you need not address me with formalities. I came to apologize for my actions. I was depressed and also hurt. I had many years of verbal abuse to let out." She said and was looking at the koi pond. Avoiding even his reflection in the water. She was thinking he would beat her into oblivion.

"I understand but thank you for the apology." He said and noticed her sitting down. The koi demon coming to the surface and she petting the head. Hakkaku was fascinated with the simple movement. Smiling she held her hand up to him and he bowed his head. Petting his head.

"Like any other creature affection is…" She never finished and stood. She went to leave but he stopped her. Turning the young girl turned.

"What was that?" he asked when the word affection left her mouth he looked to her.

"It was nothing something I read I need to go eat." She turned to leave but he noticed the battle return in her eyes.

"Why do you fight with yourself so often?" He asked.

"I have to for the one I want I am certain I can never have. For my father never would approve. My beast begs for him and I can not grant its wish. I can never have my mate." She said standing there.

"Why can't you have your true mate?" She heard from her uncle this is what got him and her aunt together.

"Because father and his leader never get along. I must go Hakkaku please let me go?" she said and he let go. Kouga having heard the whole thing noticing the tears falling from the girls eyes. He also saw the look on his friends face when she gave it away as to who she loved.

"Kouga is she talking about me?" All the wolf leader did was nod. He needed to talk to Inu Yasha.

Kouga and Inu Yasha

Inu sat in the dojo having just finished sparring and resting. Kouga entered and the half demon growled but Kouga stayed near the door. He was annoyed by this and stood realizing the wolf wanted to talk and that was all. He stood and went to put the practice sword away.

"What?" Inu asked annoyed.

"We have a problem. Your daughter is in love with Hakkaku. Her beast calls mate." Inu froze. Looked at him and wanted to call him a liar. But then last night made sense.

"What are you talking to me for?" He asked and looked to the wolf.

"You would be the only barrier then. You and I fight all the time. Lady Kohanna knows this. She will not let herself near him because of this. Today I over heard them talking she indirectly told him. But after that she ran. Crying she wanted to tell him the truth and be with him. I guess unless you truly say yes your daughter is going to be alone. Her beast will not let her mate another." Said the Ruler and left. Inu Yasha heard him leave and looked to the door. He felt his daughter's depressed aura with her mother.

"What can I do for her? I hate Kouga but Daughter loves one of his pack. I am in trouble." He walked to his mate and received a slap. He knew what for but he waited for her to vent. She kept yelling about how he was being stupid.

"Sango done?" She nodded. "I didn't even know till a minute ago. She never told me. She is saying that because she knows of my hatred for Kouga." That said Inu Yasha walked past and headed for Kohanna.

Kohanna

She sat on the roof. Looking out over the land and had tears falling from her amber eyes. Her markings green and her eyes full of battle. A battle that she believed she would lose soon. Her beast called to the mate but that mate was not meant to be had. Tears falling stronger by the minute. She looked to the moon.

"I meant to be here but my heart longs to be up there. Why must I suffer for those before me?" She asked not noticing her father behind her. She cried then felt his presence and straightened up.

"I did…" He hugged her and let her cry. Her tears streaming down her face. She wished to be on the moon but couldn't be there. Now he held back from the one she wished to mate.

"Why did you not tell me?" She was confused but then looked away. Realizing he spoke of her love for a wolf.

"Because I know you wouldn't approve. It is useless to try like fighting my demon. I might as well leave now." She said and stood. Walking to the edge of the roof and stopped. Hoping he would say and mean they could be together. She went to leave when he grabbed her.

"Why did you choose a wolf?" She shook her head.

"I have no idea." She said got out of his grasp and went to leave. But he stopped her again.

"Be with him and be happy Kohanna that is all I ask." She turned waiting for the smack but it never came. She hugged him and thanked him. Running to her mate and kissed him. Hakkaku was shocked but gave in.

"I love you." She said when she pulled back. She walked with him to her gardens and sat there. Close she would court him before mating. Wanting to mate him right then. But that would be weird. She would not act like her brother.

Shippo

Seeing his cousin happy he smiled. He was curious about the female dawn. They showed up last night for Kohanna hand in hand. He wanted her sure but how much. Then again Inukai mated after hardly meeting Kagura. Now the female carried a kit. He would mate Dawn if it was okay.

He sat in the tree when Dawn showed again. Smiling they walked and were talking her about her family and him about his. Making light chatter. He had made friends with her in a day. The question how much longer would they be friends. He wondered if they would end up as more.

"Shippo you are being quiet is something the matter?" She asked concern in her blue eyes.

"No I was thinking that's all." He said she smiled and leaned on him. He knew she saw him as her friend but what about later.

As the night went on she left to go home but he hugged her good bye. Almost kissing her he walked away. He knew for him that soon he would want her as more. That could be dangerous. He knew his family would be okay but her was different.

One month later

He had been correct and he was in love like that night after seeing his cousin and her chosen together he nearly kissed her every night. He had held back every time. It was getting harder though. He had a baby brother now and a baby sister. His cousin Inukai and Kagura were expecting still. Kohanna and Hakkaku were mated and expecting. He was sitting here holding his object of affection and wondering if he could tell her.

"Shippo what's wrong?" He had to now. Dawn had asked and he couldn't hold it in.

"Dawn I need to tell you something. But I'm afraid to. I love you." He said and looked at her. She was shocked he waited for her to leave. She put a hand on his cheek.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked and her blue eyes showing her joy.

"Because I didn't know if your father would accept me. I wanted to make your side proud too." Shippo said a little sad.

"I love you too Shippo." She said and kissed him. He deepened it and nipped her lip for entrance granting it he dueled with her tongue and won. Pulling her close he wrapped his arms around her. After a few moments he pulled away reluctantly. She smiled and gave him and brief kiss and left.

"Finally I can be with her." He said and leaned back. He knew soon he would mark her. Inukai was finally admitting he had wanted Kagura. He laughed at his cousin for being foolish. Kohanna was mated a week ago and is currently pregnant. Sanomaru was unknown on his crush though everyone knows he likes someone. Tenmaro and Rei-inu both were undecided on a female and Kouga's son was courting Sekaru. The other was not interested in either of them. Rika was sad but had moved on. She found one of the other lord's sons and was courting.

"I have a weird family." He said and leapt down walking to the dinning hall. He now had a female and would mate her soon. Hearing moaning from one of the rooms he heard Sekaru and her chosen male mating. Rolling his eyes he would in from their father. He knew she had already slept with the boy. They did it a week ago.

Flashback

Shippo was headed back to his room Dawn had just stopped by and he was tired. As he pasted Sekaru's room he heard a males voice. Shippo interested looked in to see Kouga's eldest son and his baby sister kissing. He watched as they moved closer and held each other. Moments later he saw his sister strip the prince and he left the door way. Hearing the moans of them mating. He groaned.

He walked to his room and heard the prince roar in release. He was surprised his father didn't wake. But then again his mother and new siblings would keep him busy.

End Flashback

He knew that more then likely his little sister would carry kits soon. If not this time the prince would give her his baby. As he entered the dinning room he headed straight for his father and mother to inform them. Of his chosen mates acceptance of courting and his sisters activities.

"Father mother I bring news. One Dawn the Spirit Demon has accepted my offer of courting." His mother hugged him. He smiled and his father motioned for him to continue. "The second is if you already didn't know Sekaru is mating the Wolf Prince as we speaking. And has a few times." Sesshoumaru growled. Shippo flinched. He hated angering his father.

"Why son did you not tell me?" asked the Taiyoukai.

"Because I thought you knew and heard the times he had mated her. I know now you hadn't and have come to tell you." Sesshoumaru left and brought back to fussy children.

"Sekaru you could have informed us you both wished to mate now." Said Kagome as Shippo took his seat. Sekaru glared at her older brother knowing he probably caught them and told. She broke free and looked at her father.

"I apologize Father but I was foolish and couldn't wait forgive me." He growled at the male and he bowed.

"I apologize lord Sesshoumaru I do wish to mate your daughter." Then Sesshoumaru growled again. He grabbed his daughter eyes shifting to red. Kagome smelled it and bolted to her mate.

"Sesshoumaru calm down please. You will wake the twins." He stopped and let go.

"Daughter you will mate this male to night and leave. For he has pupped you." She nodded and sat. She knew her father was not happy. Shippo started to eat when he felt a hand in his. Looking he saw Dawn.

"Dawn when did you?" Shippo was silenced with a kiss. Sekaru saw this. Rika giggled and the others were shocked.

"I have spoken with my family. Lord Sesshoumaru tomorrow night my father wishes to speak with you. You may be surprised." She said and drug Shippo away.

"By the way don't hurt Sekaru she is not herself and is being used." Said Dawn and they vanished. Sekaru looked to the male who was shocked and looked confused. Then he bolted like he could get away. He was stopped by a very infuriated Inukai.

Shippo heard a pleading Prince and laughed. He held her and smiled.

"Shippo you realize for a month now we have been courting. I can mate you now." He nodded and kissed her passionately. Pinning her to the tree he pushed his lower body against her. He knew all to well.

"I know Dawn." He said and he picked her up bridal style and took her to his room. There he mated her. His mate a Spirit Demon. He marked her as his that night.

Tenmaro

He was not happy that his sister was being used and wanted to kill but his cousin beat him to it. He growled and Inukai was growling at the male. The Prince was released and he knew Kouga would be here. His though like Sekaru he had a female he was mating. He actually was a father. A female Moon Demon was his mate. It wasn't because he didn't want to it was because she was not around.

The he sighed and walked to the garden in the Moon light he stood. His father watching and he laughed. His father knew of his mating but had yet to see the female. He knew his mate would bring the pup. The light turned bright and blue and there his mate stood with their pup in her arms.

"Father this is my mate Lunera. And our son Kyen. He is like I a pure Silver Moon Demon. I also believe my mate is carrying our second pup." She nodded and he growled. "I never told you for better reasons. She can't leave for more then a few hours. Her home is the moon and is actually a village healer. I mated her on one of her trips down." His father smelled no lie and nodded.

"Mate the village asks you return with me this time." He nodded.

"I am not heir I will come for a short while." He said and looked to his father. His father nodded and he left. Returning he saw her home and his pup wanted to be in his arms. He held his son and kissed his mate.

"Did you lie to get me here?" She smiled. He rolled his eyes.

"I lied in a sense they do wish to meet the father of this pup. But I also want my mate here for once. I wish to have you in my arms here." She said kissing him. Pulling away he put the pup in his crib. Grabbing his mate he pinned her to the couch and pushed his erection to her.

"Mate your are with pup don't make me enter you yet." He said and kissed her. She smirked and undid his pants.

"Have me mate. Mate me." She said and threw off her kimono. He aligned himself with her entrance and slammed in. His midnight hair making a curtain. He bit the marking as he came and she followed. Tenmaro stayed sheathed in his mate still pumping her and licking the mark.

"Tenmaro please." Her hips moving with his. He picked up the speed and was pounding her core with his cock. His sword now working her badly. He almost purred in her ear as he mated her again.

"Tenmaro!" She screamed her release and he came and shot his seed once again into her womb. He knew now he cause her to be carrying more then one.

"I am not mating you again till you birth them my mate." He said and pulled out. Carrying her to bed. Their he slept peacefully. She cuddled to him and slept.

Sanomaru

No one know who he was with because he wanted it to be a surprise. Kouga had one girl and he had her. She was abandoned by the prince and now she was soon to be Sanomaru's mate. He never knew why Kouga abandoned her and now He would ask his dad's okay. But with what he would need to say he was second guessing. But now that Kohanna was mated he would. Smiling he walked the castle.

"Lord Sanomaru a female is here to see you. She asked for you specifically." Sanomaru was confused and walked to the gate. He saw Lady Ayame and his intended. Running to the gate he laughed.

"Hey what are you doing here? I thought I said stay where you were I would return." He said and grabbed his intended. She smiled and held him.

"I would have but mom found me and informed me of what my little brother was doing. I felt so…" He turned to Ayame.

"I am guessing you would tell her to do the same to me." He said and his markings slowly changing. Ayame went wide eyed and shook her head no.

"I…" She never finished when he growled. But Ayame's daughter kissed him.

"I would never because as you said they abandoned me. Sanomaru please don't sink to there level." She begged and the lord stopped. He smiled and looked to his love.

"You're right. I apologize. But the next time you decide to pull that think about what almost happened. Now Lady Ayame to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit." He asked and Ayame was shocked he led them in and she saw her son on his way to the dungeons and ran to him.

"What is going on?" She growled out like it was treason and Sanomaru laughed.

"Like you didn't know Lady Ayame your son was using my cousin Sekaru and had pupped her. Now he will pay. You should thank your gods he is even alive. Inukai does not take hurting family well nor do I or my sister. Tenmaro would have acted but Inukai beat him. You best think before messing with our family." Sanomaru said and heard Inu Yasha coming.

"Here comes father and Uncle. I bet aunt mom and the others are coming to see why your son is still up here." He said and Inukai appeared growling at the Lady. Ayame saw his fury and Kagura was at his side. The others were there and He wanted to laugh He held Ayame's daughter tight and she clung to him. He noticed his cousin Tenmaro not there and figured that the boy was with his mate.

"Sanomaru explain." Said his brother pointing to the female wolf in his arms. He smiled and should the mark of intention on his her.

"Her name is Okaimi and is the abandoned daughter of Lady Ayame and Lord Kouga. I found her on one of the patrols I did and have gotten to know her. She was the female wishing to see me. Brother she has no ill intention. Her mother and father abandoned her and have no rule over her." Inukai nodded as did Inu Yasha granting his okay as well as Sesshoumaru. Smiling he kissed her.

"As for you lady Ayame what made you ask him to betray his intended and her family? I know you personally hold a grudge against my aunt for holding Kouga's heart. But he has mated you so what do intended to gain from this?" Said Inukai and Kohanna were with them as was Hakkaku. He shook his head and sighed.

"She needs to pay for Kouga still loves her. I also want to rule the west." Kohanna laughed and looked to her Uncle.

"You will never rule the west. The night I was injured my mind was else where so I was not thinking straight. But I will assure you if you try I personally will see to stopping you. I may have mated one of the wolves but I will not let you hurt my family so get the idea out of your head. Did Lord Kouga know of this?" Seeing her hesitate before the answer of no was given was their answer.

"I guess he needs another mate." Said Sekaru walking into the room. Her hand on her stomach. "Father I will not mate a male that intends to do harm to you and mother." She bowed and was trying not to cry. "I sent Kantari with a message to Lord Kouga and Hakkaku was with her. It will inform him of the happenings. Also of Ayame's betrayal." Sesshoumaru gave Sekaru a look of approval. She felt better and let out a her breath. Kagome smiled brightly and with a look of sympathy.

Sanomaru stood there and Okaimi held him tight and was scared. She buried her head in his haori and he held her tight smelling Kouga's approach. He knew she would be scared. He put both arms around her and sighed. Kissing the top of her head he comforted her.

"Okaimi what are you…?" He saw Sanomaru holding her like a mate and nodded his approval. "Lord Sanomaru I thought she had died Ayame said she ran and was killed by a rogue demon. Okaimi was my little girl Ayame didn't like having others female's steal my attention." Sanomaru nodded to Kouga's statement. Okaimi ran to her father and hugged him.

"Kouga! Save me!" Said Ayame. He shook his head and smelled Sekaru and looked felt bad.

"Lord Sesshoumaru I apologize for my mate and her son's behavior. Do know I give you and your family permission to punish both. I also approve of your nephew and my daughter as intendeds. I also will give your daughter the help needed for the unborn pup she carries." Bowing in front of Sekaru he grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Lord Kouga I do not blame you for this action realizing your mate never informed you of her intentions. I accept any help for me and my pup. Also know that you are most welcome in our home." She said and let the prince stand.

Sanomaru walked to his cousin and hugged her. He knew his cousin Tenmaro felt bad for not being here but was with his mate. Sanomaru on many occasions play brother for them. He walked her to a bench and sat her down. Seeing Rei-inu and Rika near by and smiled at them. His mate walked to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Sanomaru daddy wants to help her. You got to let him." He nodded and stepped aside.

"Lord Kouga do not hurt her. I will not be pleased." Growing up he noticed Sekaru was her dad's little girl. Vicious as any true Lady could be. In no way was she a delicate flower she acted like. She would kill any man that believed her to be. She played the role of a female that was submissive but she was in no way that kind of girl. Like her mother the fire was hidden and quit well. Her black, silver and turquoise silky tresses were always tied back in elegant styles. Her pines were blades. Her kimono hide dagger and poisons. Not to mention her powers.

He could see Kouga saw her mother in her but everyone who lived there knew she had her father's strength and personality. The lord of wolves was in for a shock. Ayame waited for him to help her and saw Sekaru show her true colors. From where she sat she shot a blast of pure energy. Her power struck her former intended and killed him. The silver brightened her hair and she looked mesmerizing. Her blue eyes seemed to glow.

"Lady Kagome she looks like you." Kagome nodded and chuckled.

"But she is Daddy's little girl." Said Rika and stood in the light. "I look more like dad and have more of mom's personality. Sekaru is the reverse. She looks like mom and acts like dad. Tenmaro and Rei-inu are the other way around." Said the silver haired Moon Demon. Her features show her father.

"I appreciate the compliment Lord Kouga." She said and stared to the moon. "Brother I need you here." She said and watched as the light turned blue and bright." Tenmaro appeared with his mate and pup in tow.

"Sister what happened?" Sanomaru came up and greeted the healer again. Everyone was shocked he introduced the family and his intended and talked after that He and Okaimi walked away. He would let the group handle their problems. He took her to the woods and they sat in the trees.

Sekaru

She sat their and smiled at her brother. Tenmaro glared at the lady but Inukai was there and had her cornered. He greeted the lord and thanked Kouga for his willingness to help. He saw his sister in her element the light of the moon. She tended to sit in moon light a lot. He knew she loved the night more then any moon demon he knew. Even their grand father said so. He smiled and hugged her.

Sekaru was staring to the stars and moon when she felt Kouga sit next to her. She was tired but didn't need to sleep. Knowing that her father was upset she wouldn't get sleep. Looking sad she sat there and watched the sky. Kouga placed a hand on her shoulder she looked at him and sighed.

"What's wrong?" He asked and she shook her head and let a tear fall.

"I have disappointed father. I conceived a pup before taking a mate. I almost mated a traitor and a male wishing to overthrow him. I don't blame him for being angry. He won't admit it but I know." She said and looked down. "Now I will not sleep tonight. I will be awake all night. That is how it has been since I can remember." She said and placed a hand on her stomach.

"I don't think he is to mad at you. I mean you and I both were lied to. I by my mate and you by her son. He never would have taken you as a mate other wise." She nodded and felt her father approaching and looked depressed even more. Kouga placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Lady Sekaru you will be fine." She nodded and waited for her father to sit. She could hear the others left and knew Kouga was with them. She sighed and stayed where she was and looked to the night sky for answers. Hoping he wouldn't smack her for her stupidity. Have dishonored you. Now I will pay. I am sorry. She was fighting the tears.

"Sekaru look at me." She did as was asked and looked at him. Her mask up to show no emotion. Sesshoumaru smelt the tears she was refusing to shed. He knew this was so he would be proud. He knew she yearned to earn her place and the respect he had. Being a female she would need to work hard. In battle she was as good if not better the most of the males and his soldiers.

"I apologize father for my dishonoring you. I was foolish and mated him before asking permission and ended up with child." She said in a cold tone to fight back the tears. He knew she was trying to be strong. But he also knew his daughter. Knowing that she would do anything should he ask it. She would gladly walk out in exile if he said so.

"Why are you not letting it out daughter no one is here?" He said and she knew of what he spoke.

"Because that is weakness and you will not have me weak. I will not cry." She said and stood slowly. He nodded his acknowledgement. Sekaru was his daughter not Kagome's. Kagome gave her the looks he gave her sheer power and the ability to hide the emotions she wished not to show. But like him she had a tell. For him it was his eyes. Her it was her fists. She was sad and angry.

"Daughter I am a little disappointed. But you were used he knew who to get to you and make you cave. Now that you dealt with him he is no longer an issue. I will get over it. Sekaru my daughter you can give in to the sadness." He walked to his daughter and held her. She cried into his Haori and hugged him. Her heart broken.

"I thought he loved me father." She said and let it all out. He held on to her and let her vent. Kagome had returned to see Sekaru in an emotional breakdown and her father comforting her. Smiling she walked over and patted her mates shoulder. He smiled back and saw her joy and pride that he would comfort the young princess. He tightened his hold.

"Sekaru he deceived all of us not only you. But you the worst for he was courting you. Now he will no longer deceive any one. You are also under mine and Lord Kouga's protection. My little Sekaru you will forever be safe. Your mother will never let you be hurt." Nodding Sekaru smiled.

"Inukai will though." He laughed and shook his head.

"Daughter you know that answer of course he will protect you. No matter how big his litter is." Sesshoumaru said and his daughter hugged him.

"Thanks dad." Sekaru let the last tear fall. She straightened up and wiped the streaks away and then walked to the ballroom one of the few rooms big enough to house the amount of guest. As she entered Kouga came over and guided the princess to the others. He kept at her side. He conversed with Hakkaku and she talked with her brothers and sister. Rika and her intended talking with them but Sekaru noticed the dark aura on the intended of her sister. Wary she stayed close to Kouga.

After the others went to bed Sekaru and Kouga walked to the gardens again. She wanted to laugh because the wolf was like a lost puppy on her tail. She knew he was keeping his word and she knew that he would not leave her side. She found a seat in the tree in the garden. Jumping up to near the top she leaned back.

"Lord Kouga did you feel the aura on Rika's mate?" She asked and heard a growl.

"Yes I figured you did when you shifted closer. It felt like that damn monks when he showed up again. He smelled like one of the monk's three sons. Last I heard he had several slaves and female peasants expecting children. His mate birthed most of his children but it was known that he got around in his land. He had three sex demon's in the lands and impregnated all of them. Two were mated to each other and had other mates that he bedded. Although most of this was in rumor so who knows. But I know that boy is his son." He said and Sekaru mentally called Inukai.

"I fear if my cousins don't deal with him we will have a problem. But that entire family must die." Said Sekaru as Inukai showed. She informed him and he nodded.

"I shall take Kohanna and Sanomaru and deal with his siblings. He smells of my mate's sister. So it must be his actual mates pup." They nodded and He left for his task.

"Kagura may lose her mate now. I fear the problem is worse then we realize." She said and leapt to Kouga's branch. Burying her face in his fur.

"Lady…" he said and looked down. (From here till notified is Kouga and Sekaru)

"Just Sekaru you can drop the formality."

"Okay. I think this is a little inappropriate."

"I don't care I need to be held if only for a moment. I am scared and hurt. I wish only for the comfort."

"Alright." (All done ) He held her and she snuggled closer. Her scent was appeasing then again he was no longer mated to a female. His mate betraying him and betraying his friends. Now here was their daughter and he was enjoying the mere scent she gave off. He was fighting his beast like Kohanna. Shaking his head. If not Kagome then her daughter huh? He thought to himself. His beast banging its body against its cage. He would not relent. He need to protect her and her pup. He would pay back the betrayal.

Twists and Turns. Good or Bad? What about the Idea of daddy's little girl and Kouga? Yes no? Tell me what ya all think. Next chapter more shall be revealed. Later.
