Walking down the corridor his hands in his haori lost in thought. 'I love kouga but it still hurts to see kagome with Sesshomaru its betrayal she loves me and I love her but if I love kouga so much why is this so confusing' Inuyasha growled smashing his fist into a portrait of kagome and Sesshomaru together it wasn't finished there pup was to be added at birth. Inuyasha slashed it destroying the portrait snarling his eyes flashing red. Suddenly he felt two arms wrap comfortingly around his waist. He gasped turned in the mans arms and kissed the man holding him.
Sighing, "you must hate me kouga still lost in a love that wasn't meant to be" whispered Inuyasha. Kouga laughed and kissed Inuyasha picking him up and walking out of the room "no I don't hate you I feel your pain, I still have feelings for kagome but I know they wont get in my way of loving you" Inuyasha grunted in agreement smiled. And with that they both entered the darkness of there room.
Now
Chapter 3: The Bonds that hold us
It was early the next morning when the screams shattered the silence. Bursting into the room was Shippou his waist length spiky orange hair flying behind him he was all in a panic. Putting his index finger to his lips he blew. A stream of blue flames spilled into the room, Inuyasha and Koga shot up. "What's going on Shippou!" They cried in unison getting up and pulling on their clothes as fast as there demon blood allowed. "Kagome's having the pups!" With that he disappeared into the early morning darkness and into the frenzy of servants running about outside. Inuyasha stood there for a moment as Koga bolted out of the room as if Shippou's flames had hit his tail.
She swore under her breath before slowing her pace and slipping on her usual haori and hakama. She had stopped wearing it after she had found the dress made of the same material, but a strong urge pulled her into it again, slipping her arms into the sleeves she walked into the hall, everything was quiet again which means the half an hour she had wasted getting dressed had been enough time to deliver the first one. Infact she was only having one. Inuyasha stood in the darkness of the threshold. She felt a stranger to the group of people surrounding the bed. Kagome stared through the gap between Sesshomaru and Shippou at Inuyasha.
She smiled "Inuyasha come see!" She didn't move but turned away and walked off. Kagome frowned, Sesshomaru had watched Inuyasha walk away as well as Koga. Though Sesshomaru felt as Koga looked he didn't display emotion as others did. Koga had hurt and shock written all over his face he was about to run after her when Shippou grabbed his arm. In one of his moments of infinite wisdom he whispered his voice soft and low almost dangerous "Leave her be, she needs to be alone for a mo-" But before he could finish Sesshomaru had exited, followed by the worried glance of Kagome.
Inuyasha found silent tears streaming down her cheeks and she walked slowly towards the gate of the castle. Pulling her hands out of her haori she clasped the bars and stared out at the new world. She chocked back a sob as she clutched the bars tighter. "There's no patch of woods for you to run to little sister" Sesshomaru's cold voice came from behind him, "Go away I don't want to talk to you" With that she jumped over the fence and flickered out of view. "Inuyasha your still a half breed im faster then you" Said Sesshomaru calmly as he appeared at Inuyasha's side.
Inuyasha stopped abruptly causing Sesshomaru to skid and turn around. Inuyasha slipped her hands into her haori and looked up. It was getting dark and tonight was another new moon. The sky grew darker and the city lights that if weren't there would have shielded Inuyasha in darkness were now putting her in the spotlight. She quickly exited the mainstream heading for the dense regions that lie outside the city limits. Sesshomaru kept pace with her. "When will you yield this stupid game and speak with me?" He questioned calmly. Inuyasha did not respond merely continued on her way.
With Kagome
Kagome stared blankly down at the baby in her arms it was the perfect image of Sesshomaru. With his golden amber eyes and silver hair with black streaks. She smiled down at it; it stared up at her wriggling in her arms and giggling. It had never cried and that didn't seem to be a problem to them for it's giggling had sufficed to clear its lungs. The baby was a girl; she had been named after Rin who had tragically died in the war. Rin looked up at all of them with new eyes and sat up as if she hadn't just been born. Kagome did not gasp nor did she praise her, she merely smiled and looked out the window. "Shippou," Her voice was soft and pleading. He looked at her Ryku on his head mewed.
"Please…find my mate and…find Inuyasha" Tears were pricking the back of her eyes and she thought of what could of happened to him and Sesshomaru she knew they were strong and that they wouldn't die easily but…together those two were like a ticking time bomb. Shippou nodded and disappeared along with Ryku. Koga hadn't moved since Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had disappeared through the door and had been staring blankly ever since. "Koga" Her voice was soothing as she breast fed her baby not caring if he saw or not, He was of course…her best friends husband/mate. Koga turned slowly, a pained expression on his face as if that very movement killed him inside.
"I-Inuyasha…" he started "Will be just fine" She finished and she pulled her baby away from her breast and burped her. Rin fell asleep as if the world weren't crumbling around them. Kagome placed her on the bed and sighed, she made a soft click sound and Ryku reappeared "Watch Rin will you Ryku-Chan" Ryku snorted soot and nodded curling around the baby still in his titan transformed form. Kagome grabbed Koga's hand after fixing her shirt and pulled him to the main entrance to wait.
With Inuyasha
Reaching the outskirts within an hour she sat under the nearest tree the wind swirled around her body she gasped as her feminine assets melted into that of her regular half demon body of a man. Inuyasha looked down the tears had stopped and he still remained silent. Sesshomaru kneeled in front of h im. "You're going to tell me or I will kill you" "Go ahead" Inuyasha whispered hoarsely lifting his head and exposing his neck submissively. "Do it and spear me the torment I feel inside, get it over with you pathetic mongrel!" Sesshomaru growled yet fell silent, he wasn't the one to show emotion but he wasn't the one to senselessly murder his brother for no good reason.
"Tell me why I should relieve you and I will," He stated calmly, Inuyasha sighed softly and lowered his head staring into Sesshomaru's cold amber eyes, "Tell me something Fluffy…" He whispered, Sesshomaru growled at the name "Days ago you wouldn't have hesitated, now that my love for Kagome has intensified and Koga can no longer satisfy me, why don't you kill me?" He yelled, Sesshomaru's eyes bled red he knew this wasn't the reason but no one, and he meant no one, would bad mouth his mate and get away with it! He claws were in Inuyasha's throat before Inuyasha had time to cry out in shock.
Shippou was to late, he arrived moments later in time to tackle a startled Sesshomaru ripping through Inuyasha's neck more before his claws finally detached themselves and fell with his body in a small bloody mound at his side. Shippou grabbed Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and disappeared.
The Castle
Koga had began to pace and was stepping all over Kagome's nerves, she was worried as well but his pacing was only adding to her already accelerated frustration and grief. Kagome's head snapped up as a figure in the distance and a stifled cry wrung out. Koga disappeared at lightening speed he had ran towards Shippou and snatched the bloody corpse of his mate his howl of sorrow floated up to the castle and Kagome's heart stopped. Sesshomaru appeared along with Shippou both drenched in blood. He pushes past both of them his eyes hidden behind his white hair. "Sesshomaru?" He paused then walked on. "Shippou what happened" Shippou was deathly quiet, his skin pale he hadn't stopped staring out the door the howl echoing through out the corridors.
A crack wrung out as she slapped Shippou back to his senses. He blinked a few times before looking up at her. "Sesshomaru slit Inuyasha's throat" The rest of his explanation dimmed, she heard non of it. The words slit throat and Inuyasha shouldn't be in the same sentence. She screamed, her screamed melded with the howl and she dropped to her knees covering her face tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the floor. Shippou fell silent again and was lost to the darkness as an escape.
Koga clutched Inuyasha's still form his pure white hair matted and stained to his head with blood. Koga's tears mixed with his blood as he kissed Inuyasha all over. "Inuyasha…" He whined as he howled again. Narute bolted from the castle a black blur against the gray backdrop. He was at his father's side in an instance. Tears streaming down his cheeks as well he wrapped his arms around his mother drenching himself in her blood. "Mother!" he cried, Kouga blankly pushed him off and picked him up, kicking and screaming as he was he still clutched him. Inuyasha in the loop of his other arm he walked into the cstle. He didn't care that Inuyasha was dripping blood onto the floor all he cared about…was getting to bed.
