Chapter 8

Author's note: So to clear this up, Inuyasha is referred to as a Lady because he is carrying Sesshomaru's pup like a woman. I understand if that's a put off, but that is how he is perceived. That will change when it does.

Inuyasha looked over the men sitting in front of him, the stares he received in turn making him feel a tad uncomfortable. He sat up a bit straighter, the men looking amongst themselves as they whispered to each other. Once the noise died down, the man sitting closest to Sesshomaru cleared his throat, Inuyasha looking him over with a frown of question.

"Lord Sesshomaru, we the court wish to ask why you decided to bed a half breed. It is not common for Lord's the bed those who are… So different from themselves." Inuyasha snorted, Sesshomaru leveling him with a look as another bout of whispers spread through the older men.

"Lord Ren, Inuyasha is my mate and I wish for you to respect him as so," Sesshomaru quickly put in, Lord Ren nodding as he looked Inuyasha over. His eyes were drawn to Inuyasha's ears, which twitched when a man behind him whispered something. The match caught Lord Ren off guard, since it had never been heard of for such a strong Lord to bed a hanyou.

Lord Ren was no stranger to attraction though, and couldn't help but feel his loins tighten at the sight of the hanyou. His ears gave him a puppy like quality, and though the snake demon had no interest in such vermin, this hanyou seemed to be of exception. Sesshomaru had a beauty many would marvel at, taking after his beautiful mother. Inuyasha had the roughness of his father, though the feminine touch of his mother. Lord Ren resisted licking his lips, looking back to Lord Sesshomaru.

Before their wedding, he would hope to taste what the hanyou offered to get himself in such good graces with Lord Sesshomaru.

"I see. As your mate, do you wish for his title to be Lord or Lady?" Lord Ren asked, since Inuyasha's case seemed to be unique. Everybody wanted to call him Lady, since he obviously was carrying Sesshomaru's offspring from his strong smell, but at the same time he appeared male. Being called a Lady would hurt anybody's pride, but it was Sesshomaru's decision as Inuyasha's mate to choose his title, which would be given to the masses. Inuyasha quickly perked up, speaking before Sesshomaru could.

"Lord!" Inuyasha felt Sesshomaru's eyes order him to tone down himself, Inuyasha clearing his throat as he tried to bring up the little amount of properness given to him by his mother.

"I would prefer to be given the title of Lord, Lord Ren." Sesshomaru was going to say Lady, but as he looked over to Inuyasha he realized it had probably bothered the hanyou to be called so. Sesshomaru mulled it over for a second, Inuyasha sending him a glance that asked for his permission. Sesshomaru withheld a sigh, nodding his head.

"He will be referred to as Lord Inuyasha. Have it posted in every village by tomorrow morning." Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief as he relaxed some, Lord Ren looking to him questioningly. Inuyasha looked to him for a split second, but that second was enough to allow Lord Ren to see into Inuyasha's deep golden eyes. Lord Ren swallowed as he looked over his body as Sesshomaru spoke of when and where he wanted the wedding to be placed since it was obvious nobody had any objections to his mate of choice.

"Is that fair enough, Lord Ren?" Ren tore his eyes from Inuyasha, clearing his throat as he dabbed some sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. His body was stirring in places it had not stirred in a while, Ren nodding his head as he stood and all the men behind him stood as well.

"Yes, I will send my top men to do the job. When did you want it placed again?" Ren asked, Sesshomaru leveling him with a blank stare. Ren hated his blank stares because he could never tell what he was thinking. The ice cold prince lived up to his name, but that didn't mean he had to like him.

"A week from today." Ren nodded as he bowed to him and Inuyasha, quickly leaving the chamber with his men. They would enter into another room where they would celebrate the naming of Inuyasha, not that Inuyasha actually was allowed to attend his own party. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha stood, Inuyasha feeling like he had been violated to some extent.

"He seemed friendly," he mumbled, walking to leave the chamber. Inuyasha gasped when he was pulled back against a hard chest, looking over his shoulder to Sesshomaru.

"What?" He asked, Sesshomaru frowning as he waited for the last slave to leave. Inuyasha felt Sesshomaru's breath tickle his ear, the warmth of it making him shiver. Inuyasha wondered if he would take him right here but waited to see what he would do, his arms encasing him as he pulled Inuyasha impossibly closer.

"Watch out for Lord Ren." Inuyasha's eyes widened at the man's name, Sesshomaru letting him go and quickly leaving the room to meet up with the court. Inuyasha knew something weird was radiating off Lord Ren, but if Sesshomaru caught onto it to that probably meant trouble. Inuyasha had thought the men of the court would be nice and not find interest in other people mates, but he was obviously wrong on that accord.

Inuyasha sighed as he headed back to their sleeping chambers, more tired than he usually was. He was two months through now, and he was sure at this point he wasn't supposed to show. The fact that he did made him wonder if he was carrying many pups inside of him, which he hoped against.

His midwife was currently being selected from many women, but Inuyasha felt like he would be more satisfied with Akari with him when the time came. Inuyasha had grown quiet close to her over the past few weeks, the young maid one with a very eccentric personality. When she wasn't quiet and submissive, she loved to talk about the many attractive guards that fancied her, and the stars. She was so obsessed with the stars it was almost awe inspiring.

She knew so much, and even taught Inuyasha a few of the things about them. Inuyasha would sometimes open the balcony doors, since he assured Sesshomaru he wouldn't run anymore, and would look at the stars. Sesshomaru watched him to make sure he didn't run, but Inuyasha didn't really have the urge anymore. If he did run, it was more to entice Sesshomaru to chase him.

Inuyasha blushed when he remembered the time Sesshomaru caught him after a long chase, and under the stars and moon he mated him. It was a rather amazing moment, and a moment Inuyasha secretly cherished. That time he didn't put as much of a fight as he used to, letting the tides roll as Sesshomaru took him with enough ferocity to make someone think he had gone insane with lust.

Inuyasha shivered as he started to feel aroused, opening the shoji to their chambers. Inuyasha usually went to his own room because Sesshomaru slept at awkward hours and wanted to be alone when he thought, but tonight Inuyasha wanted to surprise him.

"Lord Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked over his shoulder, frowning when he saw Lord Ren. He turned to face him, closing the shoji to Sesshomaru's chambers. Sesshomaru's words echoed in his head, Inuyasha crossing his arms over his chest.

"I believe the event is on the other side of the wing, Lord Ren," Inuyasha pointed out, Lord Ren dabbing his forehead with a napkin before speaking.

"I understand, but I wished to speak with you alone. May we speak somewhere privately?" Lord Ren asked, Inuyasha looking the snake demon over. He wasn't deformed in anyway, the demon looking human for the most part. The only way you could tell he was a demon were from his snake like eyes, and the scale like markings on his cheeks. His power spoke volumes, but he did not intrigue Inuyasha. Just like any snake he was a sneaky motherfucker. Inuyasha shook his head, Lord Ren frowning.

"Forgive me but I must retire. My pup tires me." Lord Ren looked to Inuyasha's stomach, laughing awkwardly as he moved closer. Inuyasha's demon practically screamed for him to go away, but Inuyasha kept his normal frown, his claws aching to tear through the snake demon.

"May I? Feel their presence?" Lord Ren insisted, Inuyasha really hating this guys persistence. He lowered his arms, touching a hand to his own stomach. He bowed to Lord Ren deciding to take the forward approach.

"Good night Lord Ren." Inuyasha quickly opened the shoji to Sesshomaru's chambers and closed it, releasing a breath he didn't know he held. Lord Ren frowned in anger, his loins aching to empty into the hanyou's body. He turned around, freezing when he saw Sesshomaru standing only a couple feet away. Lord Ren chuckled as he tried to blow off what just happened, but Sesshomaru would not have it.

"I am not my father Lord Ren. I will not hesitate to have you replaced." Lord Ren kept his smile until Sesshomaru turned his back, his eyes snapping to the shoji Inuyasha hid behind. He would soon fill the hanyou with his seed, by force or willingly. Lord Ren walked away calmly, pretending like nothing happened.

Inuyasha had heard the entire exchange though, closing his eyes as he rested against the shoji. He quickly ran towards a bucket when he started to throw up, his morning sickness having yet to subside. When it stopped he opened the shoji, ordering a guard to retrieve Akari. He quickly cleaned his mouth with some bath water, not wishing to taste the bile any more than he needed to.

The guard left quickly, Inuyasha laying down on the bed. He took off his kimono, undoing the obi and opening his haori. He touched a hand to his stomach, wondering how much he carried. He had grown a tad more since yesterday, no more of his muscle showing, replaced instead with a small bump. Inuyasha ran his hand over it, smiling lovingly.

These were his pups.

Inuyasha looked up at a knock on the shoji, telling Akari to enter. She opened the shoji and entered, closing it just as softly. She turned to him on her knees, placing her head on the ground in a low bow. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, ordering her to stand up. She was about to speak but stopped when she saw his pregnant tummy, her eyes warming as she went over and sat on the bed with him.

"I wanted to ask you if you think there is more than one inside of me," Inuyasha asked, Akari smiling as she nodded. She reached a hand out but stopped, Inuyasha grabbing her hand and leading it to his stomach. Akari smiled as she felt the life beneath her fingers, pulling her hand away slowly.

"It is possible you might be carrying twins Lady Inuyasha," Akari told him, Inuyasha shaking his head.

"I talked with the court, I will be called Lord Inuyasha now. Just call me Inuyasha though," Inuyasha told her, his chest starting to feel tender again. He sighed as he put his hands to them, Akari blushing at the intimate touch before her. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, telling Akari to brew him some tea. She bowed before opening the shoji, gasping when she saw Sesshomaru standing there.

Inuyasha put back on his haori as she bowed deeply to him, letting him enter before scurrying out to make Inuyasha's tea. Inuyasha retied his obi, Sesshomaru walking over and stopping his hands. Inuyasha was confused as Sesshomaru lowered them to the bed, slowly untying his obi. Inuyasha blushed when he moved his haori off his shoulders, looking to his small rounded stomach. Inuyasha gasped when his cold hands touched his skin, looking to Sesshomaru's face.

His eyes held a possessive glint that made Inuyasha shiver, Sesshomaru leaning in and kissing the evidence of his future heirs. Inuyasha touched a hand to his head as he felt a wave of adoration, Sesshomaru moving up and kissing Inuyasha's lips. Inuyasha moaned when he was pushed down to the sheets, one of Sesshomaru's hands moving down to his groin while the other cupped his neck.

"Is there two or three?" Sesshomaru asked against his lips, Inuyasha biting his bottom lip as he desired action more than words. Sesshomaru tried to pull away to investigate for himself but Inuyasha turned them over, quickly undoing Sesshomaru's obi and opening his kimono and haori.

"I need you inside me," Inuyasha whispered against his lips, Sesshomaru caught off guard by his words. Inuyasha never initiated sex, so to hear those words made him question his hearing. Inuyasha tore off his boots and pulled down his hakama, his fundoshi left to shreds as Inuyasha took him into his mouth.

Sesshomaru grunted at the sudden move, touching a hand to the back of Inuyasha's head as he closed his eyes with a pleased growl. Inuyasha wasn't sure if it was his pregnancy hormones or how Sesshomaru adored their pups, but he was aroused to the point it hurt. He wanted him in every way, but he knew at that moment he wanted it this way.

Inuyasha pulled away from his member and quickly stripped down, uncaring of the beautiful hakama he tore to shreds in his hurry. Sesshomaru was not prepared to be suddenly to the hilt inside of Inuyasha, yelling out his pleasure. Inuyasha stiffened on top of him, dripping wet but still not prepared for the sudden intrusion.

He breathed through the pain as he slowly rolled his hips, Sesshomaru groaning as he held onto his thighs for dear life. Inuyasha moaned in pleasure when he grazed against his spot, placing a hand on Sesshomaru's chest as he rose up and slammed his hips back down. Sesshomaru's toes curled in pleasure as he felt Inuyasha grip him tight, needing to pound into that tight wet heat.

Inuyasha's dominance was taken as he was pushed down onto the bed, his legs thrown over Sesshomaru's shoulders as the demon took him with hard deep thrusts. His mind tried to tell him to be gentle of his pups, and the restraint was making him go insane. Inuyasha moaned with each deep thrust, needing it faster.

He rolled his hips against Sesshomaru's, clenching around him when he grazed his sweet spot again. Sesshomaru felt some of his restraint go when Inuyasha moaned for it faster, the constant roll of his hips and clenching making him bit his bottom lip till it bled. Inuyasha reached his hands up, twirling them in the demons long luxurious hair.

"Sessh-Sesshomaru faster! I-I need you… Ah! Please!" Sesshomaru snapped his hips forward, Inuyasha crying out in pleasure as Sesshomaru began a faster pace. Inuyasha cried out with each thrust, one hand letting go of his hair to grip the sheets. For once Inuyasha felt an actual build up instead of needing to cum immediately, his body burning as sweat slid down his temple.

Lord Ren heard the hanyou's cries and closed his eyes as he sat in a separate room from his peers to think up a plan, his hands entering his robes. Oblivious to the beast close by Inuyasha became louder, Sesshomaru placing his hands by Inuyasha's head to give himself more leverage. His hips snapped forward, Inuyasha gripping onto him as he screamed in pleasure.

Lord Ren beat himself off quickly into his fundoshi, panting as he imagined himself on top of Inuyasha. He would pin him down, force his member in deep inside his body.

Inuyasha cried out as he grabbed onto Sesshomaru's hair harder, arching against him when he hit his sweet spot straight on.

"Ah! Sesshomaru please!" Inuyasha cried out, not entirely sure what he was pleading for. Lord Ren imagined he was pleading for it harder, moving his fist faster as he came close to a release.

Inuyasha was shocked when Sesshomaru suddenly let him go and pulled out, his legs put down before he was turned onto all fours. Inuyasha moaned when he pushed back inside, Sesshomaru biting on the back of his neck as he rolled his hips and dragged his member deep inside of Inuyasha. Inuyasha's hair stuck to his body as Sesshomaru started a deep but fast pace, Inuyasha moaning and gasping as he grazed against his prostrate with each inward thrust.

Inuyasha gasped when Sesshomaru grabbed a handful of his hair, forcing him down to the bed as he let go of his neck. Inuyasha gripped the sheets as he cried out loudly, Lord Ren cumming into his fundoshi. He panted as he continued to listen to Inuyasha's cries of pleasure, wondering how Sesshomaru could go on for so long. He cleaned himself up and hid his dirtied fundoshi in his robes, claiming to need to head outside for some fresh air to dispose of it.

Inuyasha was still pinned to the bed with Sesshomaru deep inside of him, his voice hoarse as he moaned for Sesshomaru to cum. Sesshomaru didn't want to but felt his balls tighten, reaching a hand down and gripping Inuyasha's wagging member. Inuyasha grabbed onto his wrist as he arched against the bed, clenching around Sesshomaru as he moaned for him to cum inside him.

Sesshomaru opened his eyes to look down to Inuyasha, the hanyou a moaning mess beneath him. His lips were parted wide as he cried out for more, his cheeks red from arousal, his hair thrown everywhere but some covering his neck. Some was plastered to his forehead with sweat, his eyes shut tight as tears clung to his eyelashes. Just when Sesshomaru thought he would never stop Inuyasha opened his eyes to lidded slits, the golden irises burning into his own.

"Please ah! Please cum Sesshomaru-sama…" Sesshomaru thrusted once more before stilling, releasing a roar of pleasure as he emptied himself into Inuyasha's body. Inuyasha arched against the bed before cumming with a loud moan, Sesshomaru pulling out and allowing some cum to splatter onto Inuyasha's ass and back in an urge to claim him. Inuyasha fell to the bed in a heap of twitching flesh, Sesshomaru falling down next to him.

Inuyasha panted heavily as he tried to register what just happened for a moment, moving closer to Sesshomaru for his warmth. Sesshomaru threw an arm over him, surprised when Inuyasha pressed a renewing member against him, Inuyasha kissing his neck as he tried to arouse him again. A shy knock stopped them, Akari's voice reaching their ears.

"Do you still wish for your tea, Lord Inuyasha?"
