Here is what you all have been waiting for another chappie.
Chapter Fourteen
Kagome woke the next morning to the feeling of her mate moving. He pulled out of her so he could get ready to patrol the lands. She was supposed to still be sleeping. She turned and kissed him. He was shocked to say the least. She moved her hips up to his and deepened the kiss. She still longed for his touch.
"Rest Kagome I will be back. I have to check on our lands." He said and kissed her. She moaned. Both of them wanted to stay in the bed and continue the fun.
"I still need you Sesshoumaru." She said begging him to stay for a little longer. She he wouldn't he had duties and she needed to check on the child. He smiled.
"I will come back and we can play some more. I need to take care of a few things. I promise." He pinned her and pushing against her then pulling away. He wanted to play but he had work. His need would be satisfied later. He had too much to do to day. Plus the New Year was days away.
She let him go and got dressed. She had their son to take care of. She called Maniko to come help her with the chores of her pup. She grabbed him some new clothes and went to the nursery. She knocked to let Sango and Miroku know she was coming in. Sango opened the door.
"Hello Kagome everything okay?" She asked and Kagome nodded.
"Yep I came to get the little guy ready. I have to get him bathed and dressed. Plus I need to feed him." Sango nodded and laughed.
"I already fed the little guy. He just needs the bath. You need to calm down you act like you have been gone for months. I know that Lady Kanome has to be doing part of it. So calm down Inu Taisho is fine." She said and walked to Miroku who currently held the young Youkai.
Kagome grabbed the child and walked to the springs. The coolest one was the ones she used to bathe with the child. She washed him then dressed him. The pup made a purring sound when she scrubbed him. After the bath she dressed the boy and got dressed herself by that time Sesshoumaru was back and knew now she would want to wait till tonight.
"So how is he?" He asked and she smiled.
"He is fine. You want to hold your son." He nodded in his head still going insane that now he was the father and his father the son. But he would never leave his mate for another. He smiled and held the pup he walked with his mate and pup to the study where Rin and Shippo were having lessons with a scholar from in the town nearest the castle.
"Mommy Daddy!" they said in unison and tackled the two of them. Sesshoumaru had no problems standing while Kagome nearly fell down. Had Sesshoumaru not caught her. His young child yawning in boredom. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"He is most certainly your son." Shippo laughed and so did Rin.
"Look mommy I can count multiply." Said Rin and showed her the paper. Kagome smiled.
"So can I." Said Shippo. She smiled and nodded.
"Good. I trust you two don't cause to much trouble." She said in more of a question then statement. The scholar shook his head. Sesshoumaru had gone to the desk in the back to watch the interaction of his family and the scholar. His son in the crib near his desk. He noticed the scholar was acting to friendly with his mate.
"No they were no trouble at all. Especially the Kit." Said the Scholar in a kind voice. He was standing to close for comfort for the Taiyoukai but what his mate did make him proud.
"Well I will leave you to your duties excuse me." She walked to a book shelf grabbed a book and went to chairs next to the crib and in view of the children. She was protective of them. Sesshoumaru would have a talk with the scholar. His mate was not to be touched by others.
"I can't believe he would do that with you right here." She said in an angry tone. This provoked a small growl from the young Inu Taisho. She laughed. The pup was protective of his mother. She never knew that this pup would be so protective. The scholar smirked.
The children and the mother will be mine. I care not for the lord and what happens to him. She will be mine. Thought the scholar as he continued to teach Rin and Shippo. But he didn't know that a little pup had heard his devious thoughts of his mother. He felt a burning feeling on his back. The pup had directed the telepathy to his father.
"You shall never touch my mate. Otherwise you shall feel true pain. Got that you filthy human." Said an angry Sesshoumaru. The scholar had a look of horror. How did he hear my thoughts? I made sure he could never find out. He thought. Then he saw the pup in Kagome's arms and realized. A Miko-Youkai can read minds. Kagome is a miko and Sesshoumaru is Youkai. The child is a miko while being a full-blooded Youkai.
He ran and never returned. The child was a threat. He smirked. He was going to inform Naraku of the development. This was a weakness of Sesshoumaru but it was a strength. He knew that if Naraku did use this it was a gamble. It would be years before Naraku would be able to pull it off and the child would not even be that old.
"How did you find out that he was bad? I mean can you read minds?" Asked Kagome and she heard laughing from the door. There stood Inu Yasha and Maniko laughing.
"It is said that a child born from the mating of a miko and a Youkai will have Telepathic powers and can use them at a very early age. Apparently the rumors were true because little Inu Taisho just broadcast the thoughts of the scholar that ran out of this palace. We came to see that you are not touched. Apparently Sesshoumaru took care of the problem. Also Inu Youkai pups protect their parents from anything they can. Especially when it is obvious that they need one another." Kagome smiled and walked to a still angry Taiyoukai and placed a hand on his shoulder. They knew she didn't know how to calm him but for some reason did what was needed.
That has to be lady Kanome again telling her how to calm him. She would never know how to calm him either wise. I wonder if the other Rumors are true. Thought Maniko. Not paying attention to the Hanyou beside her. Considering that he was an unmated male. Also that he was in search of a strong mate.
"Inu Yasha you do realize who you are looking at. A servant of your brother." Said Kagome taunting the Hanyou who in turn shrugged. He was interested in the Youkai. She was beautiful. She was an Inu Youkai. She had long Reddish Brown hair. To eleven like ears. Her eyes were a navy blue color and the strips matched her hair. Sesshoumaru knew she was a rare Demon indeed. She was a Fire-Inu. This meant deadly and powerful. She could control fire and make do as she pleased.
"So I am an unmarked and unmated male. The mark I gave Kikyo was disposed of by Naraku. He made sure to rid Kikyo of it. So I have no problems with looking at other females. Plus I Know Maniko very well. She was a servant in this house for years. Only one to help my mother raise me. I guess I can say an old friend." He said and smiled at Kagome. Maniko and Inu Yasha left. He could tell Maniko knew that she was expected to do more then help them by serving faithfully.
(Maniko's POV)
I have been a Fire Inu for all my life but I also have known my destiny for along time. I had to help The Taisho family out. I would find my mate later in life. I would be the mother to a new type of being. I was standing near my soon to be mate. Inu Yasha would be the father to my pup. Full Blooded Demon and a Fire Inu with more Inu blood. I knew he was looking at me.
We left the Western ruler's study and headed to the dojo. I had to train him. I was to earn his approval and love there. I smirked and raced him there. We reached there and I was the winner. I laughed he was made I injured his pride.
"Did I anger the young lord? I guess I need to jog to make it a fair race." I said taunting him. As He attacked I dodged and continued to do so till I got bored and attacked him. Then I cheated and called on my fire abilities. I pinned him to the wall in a chain of fire.
"Maniko I can't beat you when you do that either. You know that." He said and made me laugh. I knew he would say that. My people have the ability of foresight. I can tell the future.
"Naraku will make sure the fight is unfair. I will be preparing you for that fight Inu Yasha." I said and released him. I would continue to battle him into the night. Occasionally using my fire attacks. In the middle of one of the attacks he tackled me to the ground. I was pinned.
"Finally I beat the great Maniko. What is my prize?" He said sarcastically. He bent down and kissed me. I wanted this for he was the male I sought and I the female he sought. I kissed him back. We stayed that way for a while. Till I got up.
"I have to take care of a few things. I will see you later and we can fin…fin…" We kissed again and then we mated. My race knows when the mate we need and are to have is near. Our powers make it seem as though mating season is there. We have to mate immediately. Now was such a time.
"Maniko I have found my only mate. I must have you please stay with me" I nodded. Lord Sesshoumaru would need this room cleaned for Kagome's training. I would have someone do that for now I was content with my mate.
"Of course Inu Yasha." I said and we went to my room to finish the mating. I knew that I was currently carrying his pup and would gladly carry the pup for him.
(Author's POV)
Sesshoumaru walked by the Dojo and smelled his head servant and brother. He looked in to find no one. He also could tell that the two had mated. He smirked and got some servants clean it up. He went back to his mate and informed her of the occurrence.
"Don't give him to much of a hard time. He needs to happy and deserves it after what happened." She said and kissed him. They to had mated that night and were happy. She went to sleep. In his arms after another round of mating. She would swear he wanted another pup with how much he kept mating.
"I can guess now I have a niece or nephew on the way. I guess I will survive." Sesshoumaru said to himself and called for a servant.
"Get some clothes ready for my mate. I will need her dressed and ready for breakfast. I have an unexpected guess on the way from the East. I also need to see the slayer in my study. I have to check on my stepmother." He said and the servant vanished. Strange. I forgot I have Shadow demon servants. All well as long as they leave my guests and family alone I will be okay. He thought and went to his son's room. The boy was awake waiting for his mother.
"How are you boy? I guess I will see what other rumors are true about demons born from miko's" he said and then patted the child's head. The child grabbed his finger and sucked on it. He stood there. Then felt the poison coming and pulled the finger out of his son's mouth. He heard a laugh.
"Don't worry I don't think he cared. Plus the miko blood would protect our child." Said his mate from the door. She walked up kissed him and grabbed the child. She went through the motions of the morning. Feeding the pup and bathing the child. Sesshoumaru walked to her.
"I have two things to tell you. One it is more of a question." She nodded for him to continue. "Do you think you could handle another pup?" She smiled and nodded.
"Yes I believe I could." She said happily.
"Good we have more on the way." Said Sesshoumaru. "Second I have an unexpected guest so I wish you to dress semi-formally and the same goes for the pup. I have had servants inform your friends." He said and Kagome nodded. She went and dressed. She found the guest in the dinning hall and same with everyone except Sesshoumaru and Sango.
"Lady where is your mate." It was a Kitsune Youkai. He had White hair so he had to be a white fox but he was rude. Shippo took care of that though. Apparently they knew each other.
"Baka don't treat the Lady that way she has taken care of me for a long time. Baka Cousin" He said and ran to Kagome. He was angry and smelled a new pup on the way.
"Shippo this is your cousin?" He nodded then stuck his tongue out at the lord.
"Yes. He is mean to me. His name is Kyote and is a distant relative." He said and was sitting near her to eat the same with Rin. Sesshoumaru entered to hear Shippo's answer.
"Then that means you can answer why he is here." He said and looked to the lord.
"I am here for the baka next to your bitch." Said Kyote. Sesshoumaru growled at the comment.
"I won't go with you. You will just dump me back off at the woods and leave me to die. Plus I was adopted by Sesshoumaru and Kagome so you can't take me." Said Shippo and sat on Kagome's shoulder. The Kitsu lord walked to Shippo and grabbed him.
"I suggest you hold your tongue Kit and maybe I will think of giving you to my servants to raise." After that he was blasted back by miko energy. Kagome had been furious before but this was different.
"You will keep your paws off my child and not speak to him that way or you will die." Said Kagome in a possessive voice. She could feel Kanome.
I can't believe it this bastard treats poor Shippo like trash. Now he threatens him. Let me handle it Kagome. It is I Kanome. I will get this kit off my grandson while I can. What do you mean? I will be reincarnated as a daughter to Inu Yasha and Maniko. So what will happen when you see your mate again? I will not mate him. I will find another I think I know who also. I hope you will be happy. Take over. Then the red should in Kagome's Eyes.
"I know a miko can't have demon qualities even with a pup in her. How are you…Lady Kanome?"
"Correct Kyote unhand my grandson. I do not appreciate you treating him like that. He was adopted into my family and I will not tolerate it." The Kitsune nodded and left leaving Shippo behind.
"Mother will you let my poor mate be." She smiled and nodded.
"Of course and take care of her. She needs to rest. Sango or Maniko can care for Inu Taisho." She said and left not to be heard from for a while. Sesshoumaru grabbed his sleeping mate and carried her to the bed room. Sesshoumaru came back and looked at Sango eating then grabbing the child and leaving with it to feed and bath it.
"Inu Yasha Maniko. I am glad you to have mated but please refrain from mating in the dojo again." He said and left to finish up his paperwork. The two nodded and left to the dojo. Maniko smiling and placing a hand on her stomach. Lady Kanome I will make sure you are safe and ready to mate him when the time comes. Thought Maniko as she walked to the dojo.
Three guesses who. I will let you know later for now you will have to wait.
