Here we go.
Chapter Fourteen
Rei-inu had been there for two weeks and now had a baby boy in his arms. Kentaru was proud of the pup he birthed. He noticed Rei-inu was happy with the child. He also noticed the demon was reluctant to leave. But as heir he needed to return. Sekaru was also helping though they had a female that was nursing she would on occasion.
"Rei I know you want to…" He was silenced when he saw both his child and the child's father sleeping. He noticed that the pup looked mostly like The Western Heir. Silver hair and the same Maroon markings. But had the wolfish features. He had to wait for the pup to wake to see his eyes. The silver hair seemed grey because of the black and midnight blue highlights. His son was beautiful. Hard to believe they had created this in lust and need for relief.
He let his friend rest but knew that the male would fight to be able to see the pup in his lap. Though he vowed sex was out of the question they did it again shortly after the child was born. He knew if they weren't careful they would truly mate. Also he would end up with another child.
Rei-Inu stirred and noticed his friend there. He looked to the child. He would miss the pup. His father demanded that he return without the invalid pup. He whimpered when he read the message. He loved the child. He would never see it again. He told Kentaru and the male said it was best.
"Take him before I never leave." He said and then thought. He would send message he didn't want the throne. This pup was not going to be without both parents. He stood and handed the child off. He headed for the study. Kentaru saw this and followed.
"What are you doing?" He asked. And Rei-inu looked to his friend.
"Even if I live on the moon or in a cave far from here I will not be going to back if I can never see my pup again. If I had not found out it would have been easier. But I did now I will never leave. Except to face a growing threat." Sekaru had heard and knew this would happen. But her brother needed to leave. Tenmaro was not to rule.
"Brother you must leave Tenmaro would be a terrible ruler and you know it." She heard a growl. "I understand but please return. Make your demand to see the child but don't put father into a bad position." She knew better their father favored her brother of the moon. She knew Rei-inu was aware as well.
"I am no fool sister. He will not bend for me. Only Tenmaro. I am not his favored son. I am not going to get my way. I will not return." He wrote the letter and sent it. He knew the response. His father would exile him. He did it as his sister suggested. Him or his brother. But he knew better. He got ready to leave. He would leave in days. His father would reply and that would be it. He would be a nobody.
Two days went by and the reply arrived. He was nervous. He walked to his room opened the letter and sat down reading it. It was from mother not Father. She told him to bring the pup and the 'mother' he also was told she had gotten Sesshoumaru to understand. He thanked the gods for his mom.
"Kentaru come here please." The male and his pup came in and he explained and then took the child. He smirked and then they were off.
Sesshoumaru
He was angry his son did this. He understood but the child was invalid. Why bother with caring for it? Then he remembered what Kagome told him. The four of them would have been had he not marked her. She got pregnant the first night they mated. She was in heat.
He felt the approach of his son and the wolf. He ran to the gate and the guards let him in but stopped the wolf. Rei-inu leapt back and guards the pup and his friend. Sesshoumaru exited seeing his son protecting his own. Growling the guards stood but were terrified.
"Either they come or I leave your choice father. I could careless either way." He growled out. Sesshoumaru was shocked. He heard Kagome come out and ran to her son. She hugged the boy and looked at the child. Smiling she lead them in. The pup and all. Rei-inu growled as he passed his father.
"Rei-inu behave please." Said Kagome and the Heir obeyed. He walked to his room and sat there he knew Kentaru would be hiding the pup from him. He knew the male was in a different room away from him. Now he realized again the pain of what he had done. He could have done again. Sighing he knew soon he would be endangering his title
He never ate at the table always in his room or in the study. He was giving them all the time. Kentaru to see he understood the pain. But right now he was wanted in the presence of his father. His father was coming to him. He was looking over the attacks and knew what would happen soon. He heard the door and a growl.
"Son why are you never at the meals." Rei-inu looked and turned back around. He went back to work. He answered though.
"I figured that would have been obvious. I was giving Kentaru his space. Away from me, because I didn't want him uncomfortable." He said and went back to work. Feeling his father not leaving he knew why. If that was the case why make them stay. "I want to be able to see the child I helped create. He is half mine. I just want the other father to be able to stand it here." He said and then felt the approach of both his mother and the one they spoke of.
He just went back to looking over things and then growled. He knew once the man got here he would be tormented. Rei-inu looked at the table feigning interest in it when the door opened. He heard his mom and pretended he didn't hear them but the wolf knew better.
"Rei I don't get it. You said you wanted us here why…?" He stopped and saw a tear fall from the males face. He understood and sighed. His friend had felt his pain. His friend had felt the discomfort when he was near either him or the pup. Now he was distant from everyone. No one he talked had the boys scent. He only was mentioned when anyone was looking for him.
"I apologize if you wish to leave then go. I will not stop you." He said then walked from the room. He felt his friends aura turn to happiness. Once his friend left he howled his lose. He then resigned again and left the palace. He was hiding now. He found a cave and laid their. His pained aura and anger keeping all away.
Sesshoumaru was hurt by his sons rash actions and had every man demon or otherwise looking for him. No one found him. He informed all the lords to check their lands. But the North he didn't want to believe his son would go there. But now that nothing was being found he Figured he should.
"Sesshoumaru I got this feeling he doesn't want to be found." Said Kagome. She looked at her mate and saw the hurt. His son not wanting to come home.
"Why?" She smiled and looked at him.
"Rei-inu knew you to well. We all know you favored your black haired children. They were of the west. He knows he was not your first choice especially when you found out preferred males. Now what will you do since he has left. Now you show interest in your heir. He is hurting for two reasons. One his father favors and treats his brother better. Two he hurts his best friend. We all felt the discomfort in Kentaru's aura when Rei-inu was in the room. Think of what he went through. I would hide too. I would hide in the place no one would look. Go to him find him yourself. He wants you or Kentaru. I will inform Kouga." With that Sesshoumaru left.
Sesshoumaru thought back to every time he was with the children and knew what Kagome said was true. He did prefer Sekaru and Tenmaro He now realized Rika was also distant from him. He knew that was partially due to his favoring of the other two. Feeling the pain. He sped up. He would find his son and then try and make things right.
Rei-inu
He was curled in a ball. He heard all rustling about out side and heard the people calling for a search. He knew they were looking for him. He also knew that he didn't want to be found. So he hid in the back of the cave and hid his signature. He knew only two right now would find him. His father and his friend. But they wouldn't look for him.
He was drowning in his own depression and never noticed two figures enter the cave. One had brown hair the other silver. He had his back to them. The silver haired one walked forward and knelt down. Touching his shoulder making the boy jump He growled and turned. His eyes widened. He then looked away. Laying down again pain radiating off him.
"Coming only because I refused the title right?" He said in an emotionless voice. He felt them stiffen. He knew that it was true. He knew his mother talked him into leaving. But nothing would change. "I will only leave if I die. I know you think you will change but you won't. I won't leave." He said and closed his eyes.
"Then what of me Rei?" said Kentaru watching his friend. He knew his friend was stubborn. He also knew that he was part of the reason the boy was depressed. His conscious won't let him drop the guilt because of his discomfort.
"What of you? You hate me you want me to leave you and the child alone. So fine I will. I will only be here till the end which won't be long. I won't bother you anymore." He heard the wolf growl and then he was smacked but neither male moved. It was his sister.
"You just don't get it do you? He came because he was worried. Father may never change but Kentaru cares. He needs time. What is wrong with you?" Rei-inu looked away. He looked to the wall.
"You have it easy Sekaru. You have a mate that won't betray you. Children that are valid. Plus you will always have our father to back you. You're the daughter that was the west. Rika and me need to strive for father's attention. Mom has always needed to remind him we even exist. You will never know what it is like to be forgotten especially after I was found out. Now I have a friend that fears being alone with me. A father that loathes me and an invalid child plus another two timing 'mate'. But you're right I don't understand that he was worried. Why should he be? I betrayed him." He said and went back to his forgotten world.
"Because I want you to realize I forgave you. Because I was just as guilty as you." Said the wolf. But the one who really needed to talk was Sesshoumaru. He watched as the boy he helped bring into the world was destroying himself. Trying to figure out if he had should live or die.
Rei-inu sat there when he felt his brother and sister approach. He knew now it was going to be a lecture. He growled when they approached. He opened his eyes to reveal red rimmed eyes. He wanted to be alone. He wanted to be forgotten for once.
"Brother why are you…?" It was Rika the one like him. Also forgotten but not so much now. She was the Lady of the East. Father was proud. But Tenmaro he was jealous of. He growled more when his brother approached. Tenmaro froze. He didn't get it what had he done. Kagome and Kouga watched as the silver haired child got angrier and angrier. He went to lung when Kentaru tackled him.
"Rei stop he didn't cause you this pain. It was your father and I." The wolf called but Rei-inu attacked again. He had Tenmaro by the throat. Growling and in a rage. No one but Inukai and Sesshoumaru could stop him.
"You…you have everything. You have everything I wanted. All I w…" The tears running down his face and the rage overtaking him. His beast in control. He tightened his hold. He growled when Sesshoumaru went to attack but Kagome stopped him.
"Which son is the problem Sesshoumaru? Which do you wish to save? Will you prove Rei-inu right and kill him. Or will you distract him and then prove him wrong?" That made him stop. His first response was the boy was trying to kill his son. But he froze when the silver haired girl answered.
"Mom why ask? You know the answer. He has never called me or Rei his children. Sekaru and Tenmaro are his children. They are of the West. Father would never miss us if we didn't return at the end of the battle. You know this. If he cared you would never have had to remind him he has four children not two." Sesshoumaru cringed. His beast even felt the venom. Was he truly that bad? That was when he moved and slowed his pace then sprinted.
"Fight me Rei-inu. Prove to me that you wish me gone. Don't involve your siblings." He was in his perfection mode. Rei-inu charged. Growling at his sire. He swiped and bit. He still had some control. He pinned his father. He went to bite him when he heard his mother.
"DON'T!" He froze snarling but fighting back the tears. He would have killed his father. He saw the damage. He had barely been touched and his father had bite marks and scratches everywhere. He never once let them lose. Sesshoumaru groaned.
"Do you truly wish me dead? Rei-inu answer me. Not as the enraged child I see now. From the boy I helped bring into this world. I don't deserve the answer but answer me." He said wincing as he moved. Seeing his son calm down. He saw the rage still there. Rika scared for she had never seen the boy lose it so bad.
"For a long time I only wanted you to realize I was there. When I was little it was I asked you to play I received a growl signaling you were busy. If Tenmaro asked he got you out easily and it was only with him and Sekaru. Never me and Rika. Mom always had to watch us at night for we generally tried to runaway. She never told you for we all knew you would never care. As long as your son and Daughter were happy. Teens came and I grew cold and distant but you never noticed or cared. I was not your son. I was some child hanging around. Calling Tenmaro brother. You found out I liked males over females I was your mistake. Now that I am trying to vanish you want your heir back. Now I don't care. I wanted to be recognized as your son. A part of the pack not the mistake. Rika is a Lady of her own lands. So now you see her. I am now seen but as a mistake. I want one thing an answer. What am I a mistake or am I you son? Answer that and you will have yours." He said. Rika and the others were shocked. Sekaru watched as her brother glared at there father. Sesshoumaru was losing blood. Any who helped him were growled at. Sesshoumaru had to answer fast.
He was going to answer with what he first thought of. His son but then he searched and saw all the signs. His son had become him. A distant child with the Killing perfection he had wanted in a son. Then he had found out and become a mistake. Then the child and another title the bastard. He internally disowned the boy. He heard the growls when the other's attempted to help. He realized then his answer.
"I have a question for you? I will answer but I want to know how come you never confronted me before?" Rei-inu Lunged and dug his claws in.
"I did you growled and attacked. You told me I am not your son. You have one son and one daughter. I cried my self to sleep that night. Mom came to you that night and was about to leave with all of us remember?" Sesshoumaru thought back.
Flashback
Rei-inu walked the halls as he was searching for his father. He got to the study to see his dad working. He walked up and watched. He knew his father had sensed him.
"Father why don't you like me?" The next thing he knew he was on the ground. A snarling father over him.
"I only have one son and one daughter. You are not my child." Said the Inu demon and then released the demon. Rei-inu ran and cried. Moments later Kagome came in screaming.
"What did you say!" Sesshoumaru was confused.
"What do you mean?" He asked and Kagome glared.
"You forgot that again! YOU HAVE FOUR CHILDREN NOT TWO! RIKA AND REI-INU ARE YOURS TOO! YOU GOT MAD BECAUSE HE ASKED WHY YOU IGNORE HIM! I WILL BE LEAVING AND NOT COMING BACK. NONE OF THEM WILL BE YOURS. IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE FOUR CHILDREN!" She walked from the room and grabbed the children. Leaving the castle but never made it past the gate. Sesshoumaru blocked her. He apologized.
Flashback Ends
Sesshoumaru was shocked he had forgotten. He felt real bad now he had promised to spend time with all of them. He continued to ignore and forget the other two. He now knew what he would say. He also knew no matter what he was dead. The boy would never believe him.
"I will answer then. I know your answer though. I see you as a son. My son and heir. Now do what you want Rei-inu Heir of the west my son. Finish what you started." He said and the boy lunged. Red covering his eyes. Claws out and ready to kill.
"DON'T PLEASE!" called Kagome and covering her mate.
"Kagome he will never return if he doesn't." Said the Taiyoukai. She laid on his chest. Neither noticed Inukai in the area in front of them. Inukai stared at his cousin. When the morning moon demon called out that caught their attention.
"You will kill your father cousin? Why? He ignores you. I realize this. I also know that you are being foolish. Will you kill your mother who has cared for you through all this?" Rei-inu stopped and though his mother always was there. His mother played for them when no one would. Shippo was also always there. As was Rin. He growled but his father needed to pay.
"NO but he needs to pay. Mother, Rika, Rin, and your family I will never hurt. Father will have to pay. He has done nothing for me and Rika. Ignored us. Made me heir when Ryutai never realized we existed. He made mother hide us. He showed our siblings. I am nothing to him. I am a mistake. I…" He roared to the moon and took off. He was in a blind rage. He would kill either himself or he would return and kill Sesshoumaru. Inukai followed his Cousin.
"Papa will he be okay?" asked Rika. She was scared. Her brother never got this bad.
"He has pinned all this away for years. He wants to vent it and now wanted satisfaction of taking out the reason. I can't be touched because of his mother. Inukai can return him but the problem is how long. Plus his other reason has yet to be solved. But he isn't helping." Said Sesshoumaru a he looked to Kentaru.
"I know he is upset. I also know I can't change his mind. I said what was needed. I forgive him. I just need to realize that we both wanted it and I was stupid and let him have me. I let him. I forgot I could carry till it was over. Now we have to wait for him to return." After that was said Inukai return carrying his cousin.
"I had to he was suicidal." He said and they walked to the Western Castle since it was closer. Once there they tied the boy up and waited. Kentaru sat at his friends side. Placing the pup next to Rei. Moments later the heir woke and felt his child next to him. He looked and saw his friend next to him. He looked down.
"I don't blame you anymore for what was a mutual thing. I let you take me and enter me. I let the fact I could conceive slip my mind for the release. But I don't like the idea we risked it again. Next time you surrender your body." He made a joke and the boy laughed.
"I'm sorry I am a fool I was losing my control." Said the young heir and then heard his mother enter the room. She walked to the bed side and smiled seeing her son back to normal. She was just checking on her mate. She noticed that the boy was awake and had to talk to him.
"You nearly killed your dad." She said and he bowed his head.
"I know I feel bad. He probably will truly disown me now. Once I am calmer I will be gone. No worries mom." He said and went to sleep again.
"He was truly hurt when you were after his head. He tried to make me move." Rei-inu looked confused. He was thinking and sighed.
"Why…?" Kagome smiled.
"You woke him up. You scared him. He didn't realize he hurt you and Rika so bad. He asked Rika about before he passed out. She said it didn't bother her because she was the tougher between the two of you. You got Sesshoumaru's attitude she has his barriers. I guess it took you snapping for him to see. But the truth will come out when he wakes. You beat him badly. I thought he would die. He is fine though. Now you rest. Your not going anywhere for a while." Said Kagome standing. She noticed her son looking at the child beside him. He really only wanted to be loved and noticed.
Rei looked to his pup and saw the child sleeping. He knew that the child didn't belong near him. For the one next to him had indirectly sad it. He didn't want hurt anyone anymore. He watched as the pup curled up to him. He nuzzled the child and let his last tear fall. I will cry no more. I will become my father. No emotions and no females. No males either. My children are stolen from me. I am sorry my son. He thought and went to sleep. He would get the stern hold on his beast and not let anyone in. No more. His friend would never be hurt and he would never be hurt.
"I know you don't blame me but I also know the child after this will never see me again. I will have to live with it. I will never see my pup again. So I guess once this is sorted out it is good bye." He said and then went to sleep. Sekaru watched as her brother froze is heart and changed to what their father became in front of the world. A block of ice. Cold and deadly. Kentaru was shocked to hear the cold tone and ran to Kagome.
Kagome
She heard the news and closed her eyes. She felt bad and hurt that her son felt it necessary to push others out of his life. To make it to where the feelings in his soul were blocked out. He would never let others close because of one mistake and what he had to endure. She knew the only way to make him realize the truth was for him to have solid proof. To have a life changing event that proved the opposite.
"Sesshoumaru I hope you are ready to face yourself. For you have caused your son to change dramatically. I hope you are ready for this." She said and kissed his head. She knew it would be days before the youkai woke. Now she knew that both males would be changed. This fight had better of changed her mate.
One Week Later
He woke and found a copy of himself in his study. Rei-inu only spoke when necessary and the demon boy was now his former self all because he ignored the child and forgot he existed. That and the one he saw as a friend had deserted him in fear. He felt the pain in his heart. He watched his child become more deadly and more cold.
"Kagome tell me this is a nightmare I will wake from." He said and Kagome shook her head.
"I wish it was my love. He feels alone and only wished to be cared for and not deserted. If you had acknowledge his existence. If Kentaru had not left. He would be the same child." Said the Lady and went to her son. She kissed his head and walked to her younger pups.
She felt the aura's in the palace all held guilt that their soon to be lord was cold and ruthless. All because of the mind of their lord and the former heir of the north. She knew that now one future was certain. Rei-inu would die in the fight against the reincarnation of Naraku. He would die because his heart would make him change sides. Unless something happened to change it.
She hoped that maybe there could be a change back. She watched as Sekaru Inukai and the others played with there children. She remembered Rei watching longingly but he would never have that. Now that he did it would never happen. Kentaru was down there and then she noticed Sekaru go into a trance. Moments later she ran.
She ran to her brother and tackled him to the ground. A tentacle went through her and into the ground. He went wide-eyed and was shocked. She screamed as it was removed. She whimpered and a blast erupted from her. She turned and saw the face of Kagura's son.
"So Sekaru you want to play. I don't think you can. For you have a whole in your shoulder." He laughed and she growled.
"I won't let you near Rika or Rei-inu. You will never hurt them. Or use them." She said as a pink aura surrounded her. She blasted the puppet. She was about to collapse, but fought it for she turned. "Brother please you are wanted. I want the old Rei back. I loved you brother. I miss your smile. He will come again and us your pain. I…" She collapsed and Rei-inu caught her. He carried her to her room.
"Sister I wish I could but the pain is what I must stop. I hurt everyone and scared them. My best friend was betrayed by me." He then was turned to see Rika there in tears.
"What about me huh? I don't even know you anymore brother. I miss your old self. You didn't do anything wrong. Yes you impregnated your best friend and he was scared. But he is over it. He is more scared now. He wants that one back. You Baka please I don't like this you." She begged and he looked away only to see his Kentaru. Yes he claimed the male. He fucked the guy twice and impregnated him once.
"I want the old one back this one even frightens our son. I am no longer in need of distance friend." Rei was confused but the sight of eyes behind his friend made him act. The boy sprinted and pulled the male away and found a spider. He growled and fought the demon.
"Stop him. The spider will turn him. That is what it is for." Said Sekaru when making her adopted son act. He knocked the boy over and the spider left. He noticed no marks or webbing. He stood and saw his friend stand.
"Why?" Asked the heir and his friend smiled.
"Because I wanted to. Because I felt the need to help a friend the father to the pup your sister holds. I told the council to shut up or die. You saved me and helped me I will not keep this child from you. Now change back please." He looked at the whimpering child and walked back. He felt all his barriers drop. His son was scared of him. He also felt the aura's around him and looked away finding an interesting wall.
"We all loved you the way you were. Now please." He looked at them showing the hurt in his eyes. The whimpering stopped. Kentaru hugged him and he tried to stop his tears.
"I…" His friend shook his head.
"Cry if you need to let it out. But don't hide from us." He said and then let his friend us his shoulder. But the boy never cried he was stopped by the look on his fathers face. Returning he now found his father had changed. He stood and turned to his sister. Healing the wound with his healing powers. Then walked out. He needed to think.
He realized he was attracted to his friend but didn't want to continue a trend he noticed. But he couldn't help it. He knew the next time they did have sex he would be the bitch. But he could careless as long as they were fucking. He also noticed he felt even worse when Tenmaro was around and would leave when he entered a room.
Growling and in need of something to fuck he wondered the halls only to find his brother and father talking. He noticed the tension meaning he was noticed and then. He whimpered. He knew he had hurt his brother.
"I guess I am a monster. I hurt my friend and brother." That was all he said and went to his room. His father heard it and grabbed Tenmaro. He looked away and listened.
"You..." Rei interrupted his father.
"I know Kentaru has forgiven me. I also know you have. Tenmaro I know never will because he knew of my jealousy for the longest time. I acted on it for once. He will for ever fear me and never want me around. I know this and will stop bothering him." He said and left. He still had a hard on.
Walking in his room he noticed the crib and his friend. Kentaru sleeping in the bed and the pup in the crib. He smiled and went to the couch. He laid down on the couch and moments later he felt a pulling at his pants. Looking down he saw his friend.
Morning
He felt better but he noticed in the passion he had marked the male. Plus he had a feeling the male carried again. He groaned. But loved that he was relieved. Now he would be glade if they talked ever again. The problem though was they went another round that morning. He entered the male again and rode the boy for at least another hour.
He could take no more for a while. He now needed food and rest but first he would need to speak to his Kentaru. When he finished eating he found the wolf and the wolf's father speaking. Kouga left after seeing Rei-inu. Rei approached slowly. He knew from the aura the boy was okay.
"Well I guess I am not leaving soon." Rei-inu heard the sarcasm and would soon regret fucking the boy. He knew they were going to fight.
"I won't hold you hear. I won't make you do anything. You can leave and mate another. You don't have to even leave your son with me. I came to apologize. For the mark if you didn't want it. I see now that you didn't." He said and went to leave. He was going to shut the world off again. But Kentaru didn't let him leave.
"Why?" He asked
"Why did I fuck you again? I wasn't going to. I was going to sleep on the couch when you decided you wanted sex. Why did I mark you? That should be obvious I want you. Why am I blocking everything out? I have nothing left. After you leave I know no one will want me. I have no heir and no mate. I guess I am meant to be my father." He said and stared to the moon.
"Why are you so determined that I don't want this?" Kentaru asked.
"Because your aura says so. I can see smell and feel the pain of hurt and betrayal. You can't hide from me." He said and then heard his friend laugh.
"You think its you maybe it was someone else. I was just told my mother found my father and told him that I am a filthy male whore. All because I let you fuck me not once but three times. I feel betrayed by her not you. I wanted this. My remark was sarcastic because it was meant to be a joke." Said the male and looked to his mate.
"I guess it would make sense still. If you truly believe this a mistake let me know. I will fight it but I will let you go." He said and this time left. His silver hair in his wake flying with the wind. He found his sisters and brother. Like always looking at the scene longing for that to be him in there watching children and enjoying life.
"I belong to a fight that will never end. I am the Heir of The Western Lands." He said and left.
