"IZAYOI!?" Sayuri called out into the giant house where her in- laws lived. It was 11:00 in the middle of the day, and Sayuri, finishing all her designs early that morning, was bored out of her mind. Plus, she needed to talk to Izayoi about the pregnancy.

"I'm out in the garden." A soft voice called out.

Sayuri took off her shoes and walked through the hallway and into the backyard.

"Ah! Sayuri- Chan! I was wondering when you were going to pay me another visit!" Izayoi said, getting up from her rose garden. Inutashio, who was sitting by the patio table, reading the paper, looked up.

"Oh, hi Sayuri." He said.

"Hi, Inu- Papa." Sayuri said.

"Oh my. You're bigger than the last time I saw you." Izayoi said, giving Sayuri a hug.

"Actually, that's why I'm here."

"I'll leave you ladies alone." Inutashio said, getting up, gathering his reading material, and went into the house.

"So… what do you want to know this time?" Izayoi asked kindly, as she poured herself and Sayuri a cup of tea.

"What am I suppose to be looking out for for the final weeks?"

Izayoi thought for a moment.

"Hm… it's been a while…" Izayoi said to herself. She thought back to the time she was pregnant with Inuyasha.

"Has your appetite grown at an unusual rate?"

"Actually, yeah."

"Well, that's a human thing… and… your mood swings."

"Oh… um… I kind of broke the kitchen window this morning… when I was complaining about how bored I get during the day."

"Ok… now that's a demonic trait. If you're having uncontrollable fits of rage, then the baby's really close to coming out. Kagome's was different. She just had normal human symptoms during pregnancy, as Akane is only a third demon."

"How long is a demon pregnancy for again?"

"Seven months. And it's June in a few days."

"Ugh… I want to see my feet again…" Sayuri whined, while taking a long sip of her tea. Izayoi laughed.

"Um… Sae…" Inutashio said, poking his head out the back door. "In case you were wondering, your shoes weren't matching today…"

"Damnit!" Sayuri said.

Izayoi smiled.

"Don't worry. It'll be just a few more weeks."

"Mr. Tashio, your brother's on the line." Kagura, Sesshomaru's secretary said.

Sesshomaru dismissed her, and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sesshomaru! What are you and Sayuri doing this weekend?" Inuyasha asked.

"Rin has a play on Saturday. Can't miss it."

"How about coming over to the house on Sunday? It's just Rin's cultural festival this Saturday right?"

"Reenactment of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter."

"At least it's not the Pillow Book…"

"IT'S A THIRD GRADE PRDUCTION!!!!!"

"Dada! I wanna talk to Uncle!" a small voice said.

"Akane! Heel!"

"Didn't Kagome say to treat her like a human and not a dog?"

"You know as well as I do that mom did that to us."

"Whatever you say. We'll be by the house at three on Sunday."

"Great. Now I can cross that off of Kagome's list. We'll see you on Saturday for Rin's play."

"Bye..."

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes after he hung up.

(Saturday…about five days later)

"Kaguya- Hime… why are you crying?"

Rin stood proudly, but not destroying the sad atmosphere.

"I have to go back to the Tsuki no Miyako one night of the full moon…" Kaguya (AKA Rin) said sadly. She walked across the stage in the heavy layered kimono. It took Sayuri a full three hours to teach her to move in it without tearing it.

"She makes me want to cry…" Sayuri whispered into Sesshomaru's ear. Sesshomaru was busy messing with the camcorder.

"I'm just glad the play's finally taking place. Now I don't have to hear you two doing your acting warm ups anymore…"

Sayuri gently punched Sesshomaru in the arm.

"Admit it, you were amused…"

"And so…" the narrator said. "The Taketori-no Okina place many guards around the house to protect Kaguya- Hime. But alas, when the fateful night arrived, the guards were blinded by a bright light as the moon people descended down to Earth to retrieve Kaguya- Hime…"

"Pretty Princess!" Akane shouted. Kagome turned red as she placed a hand over her one year old daughter's mouth. Sayuri smirked. It was amusing watching her niece experimenting with her vocal chords.

(Later)

"You did a great job!" Sayuri said, as she gave Rin a hug.

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"Akane was rather pleased too…" Kagome said, as she struggled with a wiggling Akane.

"Princess Rin!" Akane said, her small arms outstretched towards her favorite cousin.

"Hey there, super star!" Inutashio said, handing Rin a small bouquet of roses.

"That wasn't too bad for a stage debut." Izayoi commented.

"Sesshy, could you get me a Twix bar? I'm starving." Sayuri asked.

"Fine…" Sesshomaru went off to a nearby vending machine.

"So… enjoying being someone's personal slave?" Inuyasha asked, as he stalked over to Sesshomaru.

"No...Not really…" Sesshomaru said blankly.

"Be careful…" Kagome said. "There's a water puddle there."

Sayuri didn't move. She had a horrified look on her face.

"Um… guys…" Sayuri said. All eyes turned to Sayuri. "My… my water broke…"

"That's ok. I got a spare water bottle here." Inuyasha said. Kagome and Izayoi smacked Inuyasha on the head.

"You…are…an… idiot…" Izayoi and Kagome said.

Sayuri almost crashed to the ground. Sesshomaru caught her. She gripped on his shirt as a contraction took place.

"Oh god!" Sayuri shouted. "It hurts…"

"Let's get her into my car." Inuyasha said. "I had to head to the hospital for work after this anyway."

Sesshomaru picked Sayuri up bridal style.

"Dad, could you take Rin home and stay with her?" Sesshomaru said, as he rushed Sayuri out into the car.

"As if I had a choice…" Inutashio mumbled.

"Come on grandpa." Rin said, tugging at his jacket.

"I'll call Chiyo. She's going to want to know about this." Kagome said as she pulled out her cell phone.

(Ginza apartment complex)

"SHE'S WHAT!? I'm on my way. I'll stop by the house and throw a bag together. Oh My God!"

Chiyo slammed the phone down and scurried around the apartment that she and her husband Aaron shared when they were in Tokyo.

"What's up?" Aaron asked, as he was woken up from his nap by Chiyo's shouts. Chiyo was struggling to get her shoes on.

"My sister's gone into labor." Chiyo said.

"Um… honey…"

"Not now! I got to go!"

"I just thought you would like to know that the whole world's going to see your puppy panties…"

(Tokyo Airport)

"Damn it. Doesn't the guy know how to write directions?"

"Well, David honey, it's in Japanese…"

"Mom, when are we going to be at Auntie's house?"

"I don't know. Kai, your phone's ringing."

"Thanks, Nobu, could you get that. I'm kind of busy with the luggage."

"Sure."

Nobu Satome took the cell phone out of his wife's back pocket. He looked at the caller ID. His daughter Chiyo was trying to call.

Probably wondering where we are now…

"Hello?"

"Dad, where are you guys?" Chiyo's voice said. She sounded like she was running.

"How did I know you were going to ask that? Our plane just landed and now Sayo's trying to help David read Japanese so we're…"

"Well forget that and go to the hospital. Sae's having the baby!"

"She's what!?"

David, Kaulani, Sayo, and Kai looked up from the tourist map.

"Which one? Got ya."

Nobu clipped the phone shut.

"Let's go you guys. Sayuri's in labor…"

"Yay! I'm going to be a grandma!" Kai said, as she waved towards a taxi.

"Um… Kai…" Sayo said. "Let me do it…"

Hikaru- San: Now do you see what i mean when i said that you need to read the first story before this one?

Anyway, to make it clear for the newbies...

Chiyo is Sayuri's sister,

Nobu is Sayuri's father

Kai is Sayuri's step Mother

David is Sayuri's cousin, Sayo is a fire demon and David's wife, and Kaulani is their hanyo daughter

If you want to know more about them ,then read finding love... story will make a hell of a lot more sense...
