Why Me

Ch. 7 Hanyou's Birth

Kagome was woken up by the guard she had posted outside Izaiyoi's door to notify her when the lady went into labor and as she had predicted Izaiyoi had gone into labor the very day her mate had left. As she rushed down the hall to the birthing room where Izaiyoi had been moved she asked herself why she always had to be right about these things.

She sensed Sesshomaru's mother was already there with Izaiyoi and she also sensed Sesshomaru just outside the door she felt bad for him after all his hearing was very sensitive so Izaiyoi's cries must have really been hurting his ears. When she came up to him she noticed his discomfort in the slightly pinched look on his face but she just nodded to him and he stepped aside to allow her entrance into the room.

She entered the brightly lit room and immediately made her way to Izaiyoi's bedside. When she looked at the lady she knew her labor pains were back and front labor pains which were the most painful type of labor pains she winced in sympathy as another powerful contraction ripped through Izaiyoi. She asked Sesshomaru's mother how long Izaiyoi's contractions had been going on and she said for only about a half hour now and she nodded her head and concentrated on making a pain relieving potion for Izaiyoi that would lessen the pain to a more bearable degree.

She called for a servant and ordered plenty of hot water and clean rags to be brought to the birthing chambers throughout this whole thing the lady mother had been impressed with how calm and precise the little miko had been and realized they had made the right choice in bringing her here so long ago or at least that was what it seemed like anyway.

The battle was going well so far even with his beast nagging him about their mate being in pain because of the mating bond he could feel her pain, but he knew she was not in destress she was merely giving birth to their son. That fact did not calm his beast in the least though it kept it for surfacing and interfering in his battle to much because his beast knew in order to get back to their mate they needed to win this fight.

Their armies were battling while they focused solely on eachother ryu fangs vs inu, lord against lord they battled in their true forms snarling at eachother and snapping their fangs digging their claws in were they could find purchase. He wondered what had happened to them to bring them to this they used to be the best of friends them his friend had become cold and bitter no that he thought of it, it was shortly after he pupped kimi with Sesshomaru. He wondered if his friend had, had feelings for Kimi and that was why he became so bitter because she had gotten pregnant with anther male's child. It was plausible and when this battle was over he would ask because he wanted his best friend back.

With that he renewed his attacks with vigor he was determined to win this fight and get down to the bottom of things and perhaps repair some relationships as well. After all he knew his lady had feelings for the dragon but because of her loyalty to him and the dragon's declaration of war she would not act on them.

After the rags and clean water had been brought in by the servant she had erected a sound barrier around the room though she left scent because she knew Sesshomaru was still standing guard outside the room and would want to know what was going on inside. She was encouraging Izaiyoi and listening to her curse her mate and even though he was not there threaten to castrate him well at least that was the same with pretty much any women she thought. Honestly she had done a link with a pregnant women during her training and if she were in Izaiyoi's place would probably be doing the same she cut the link after only a minute of enduring the pain.

A few hours later and she could tell Izaiyoi was getting really close now because her contractions were coming more frequently now.

Sure enough about an hour and a half later she was ready to start pushing and Kagome told her on the next contraction to push with all her might. When the next contraction hit Izaiyoi gave a mighty heave and the fell back against the pillows panting. Another contraction and another push this continued for a few more contractions until the head was out and she told Izaiyoi only one or two more pushes and she would get to see her beautiful baby boy.

Izaiyoi gave one more mighty push and with that there was the cry of a new born baby filling the room, Kagome let the lady mother get the new mother cleaned up while she cleaned up the little newborn. She cut the umbilical cord and tied it then gently washed and dried the tiny baby boy before she wrapped him in a warm, soft and thick cloth. When that was done she looked up to see the new mother cleaned and looking much better but still quite tired she supported Izaiyoi while the lady made the bed with new sheets. When that was done she was tucked securely into the covers with a pillow supporting her back so she was sitting upright and she was handed her new baby boy.

She looked down at her little boy with love and aww and Kagome asked "what do you want to name him Izaiyoi-sama?"

"I will not name him that is the males job just as it is the females job to name the females" Kagome just nodded and took a look at the little boy that she knew would be called Inuyasha she could tell it was him even though he was so tiny and it warmed her heart to know that this time he would have both of his parents.

Snapping out of her thoughts she said"alright then we will wait for lord Inutaisho to return then."

Just as she said that Sesshomaru came in and looked at his new baby brother he was awed though he didn't show it but she could tell at how tiny the little and fragile the little boy was. He asked to hold his little brother and the babe was gently taken from his mother by the lady and handed to Sesshomaru who was then showed the proper way to hold an infant. She could tell from the moment he looked into his little brother's eyes he was taken with the child and would make sure nothing bad ever happened to him. She just giggled to herself knowing in her heart that this was what was supposed to happen originally and that she had pleased the kami by changing the past and making this happy ending happen.

She worried though that now that he task was complete would she be allowed to stay in the farther past with everyone she had grown to see as a second family and with Sesshomaru whom she had grown to love? She shook her head because what ever happened she knew that she loved them and they loved her and they would be able to wait long enough to see her back in her time if she was sent back and then they would be together again.

It was late in the night about a week after the little prince was born that the Inu no Taisho finally returned with an unexpected guest apparently the ryu lord had loved Inukimi from the moment he met her and was outraged when he found out about the agreement between her and the Inu lord. Apparently before he found out about the agreement between the Inu no Taisho's father and Inukimi's father he and the Inu no Taisho had been best friends they trained together and pulled pranks together. They also both befriended the beautiful lady Inukimi though the Inutaisho's interested stayed at friendship Ryukotsusei's interests had moved beyond friendship to love.

When the Inutaisho had told him of the agreement and even apologized for it because he hadn't known until after the fact Ryukotsusei had become outraged and accused the Inutaisho of doing it on purpose because he wanted Inukimi for himself. He then left in a rage that turned to bitter jealousy and cut all ties with the western Inu clan including his beloved Kimi as well. The heartbroken and now pregnant Kimi with the support of Toga and his father was able to bear it and eventually her broken heart mended though never forgot her love who had acted out of rage rather than thought.

Several months later a healthy inu pup was born to the two friends and they did their best to raise him well but when the Taisho's father died suddenly from his illness and he was suddenly thrust into a seat of power he duties as a father took a back seat to his duties as lord. The Inu No Taisho was also still suffering from the Ryu lord's desertion those two things caused him to become cold and distant and it wasn't until recently when he met Izaiyoi that he started to repair his broken relationship with both his trusted friend and lady and his oldest son.

It was such a heartbreaking story and she realized then that this was also something she was sent here to fix so Ryukotsusei and Inukimi would get a second chance at happiness as well as Inuyasha who had been robbed of her family. All in all she was proud of what she had helped do and she knew in her heart that if she vanished from this time tomorrow she would not be sad because she helped give her best friend and he love's mother a second chance at happiness. If that happened she was sure they would live to see her time and they could all be together again and this time she also hoped that Inuyasha didn't lose Kikyou if they met and fell in love again.

It was the beginning of a brighter future and one that she had helped to create.

Author's Notes: Sorry it's been so long since I last updated I have been having health issues lately but they are all taken care of now and I will continue writing though it still may be some time before I update again.

Actually this will likely be the first of my fanfictions I will have completed since I started writing fanfictions how weird is that even though it's not the first story I wrote and posted on this site, but the again my first story Guardians was meant to be a really long story as are most of the other stories I have written this one will probably be my shortest story.

Anyway no character except my OC's belong Rumiko Takahashi.

Thanks for all your support for this story my readers and I hope you will support my other stories as well as you have this one.
