Apparently you are all wondering who Kanome will mate. Well here I will answer it this chapter. Kagome will be awake by now so don't worry. Hours have passed.
Chapter Fifteen
Sesshoumaru had been curious about his servant Maniko. He remembered a story his mother told him when he was a young pup. It was about a being of enormous power. He could remember what the being was though. He grabbed Kagome and went to the library. He needed her help.
"Sesshoumaru what do you want?" She asked wondering why he was dragging her. He stopped.
"I need you to help me find something in the library. I was watching Maniko this morning and she kept staring at our son. She was interested in him." Said Sesshoumaru and walked through the doors to the library. She was still lost.
"You think the answer to that question is in here." He nodded.
"I remember a story for some odd reason. It was one my mother read to me. I don't remember the name though." He said and saw Kagome walk straight to a section and grab a book. She looked at the title. Legend of the Fire-Inu-Kit. It seemed to fit the description of a story.
"Sesshoumaru does this look familiar to you?" She asked and he looked at it and nodded. He grabbed the book and began to read.
(In The Story)
The day the world needs a powerful being is the day this being will be born. A Kitsune Youkai yet a Fire-Inu Youkai. This being will destroy the threat and allow the peace to come. As a result the child will go into hiding and never be heard from again. They say you can find the past Fire-Inu-Kits in a forest of fire near the western and northern border. But no one is certain.
As the child grows older he will become sick and need to find a mate and pass the ancient fire off. It is said that no child of the Inu-kit will be safe so not one descendant can be found though we know they exist. The ruler's of the north are the only Fire Kit's in existence.
(Reality)
Sesshoumaru dropped the book. He couldn't believe he didn't remember the story it explained the need for his parents to come back. Also the look at Shippo from Maniko. Her child would be a Fire-Inu. Shippo is a Kit. So the child would be the legend. Shippo on the other hand would need to willingly mate the pup. Also the child would need to be F...female. Mother is the child coming into this world. She would be a Fire-Inu. Figures her fascination with the Demons. He smirked.
"You find the answers?" asked his mate and he nodded. He grabbed her hand. Smiled he wanted to laugh at the irony of the situation at hand. But he guessed this is what the Kami's planned. To have Naraku killed by the creature of legend. The child would have no tricks when it came to fire. The fox Fire ability his son had would be a joke. The grandchild would have so much power it was laugh able. He needed to talk to the Northern Lord about the forest on the border.
"I can say this I just found the answer to my question and our problem. Between our son and the child of Inu Yasha we will have the problem solved. I meant to say sons." Kagome raised an eyebrow.
"You mean Shippo has something to do with the solution." She asked when she got the answer it was not from Sesshoumaru.
"Yes Lady Kagome." Said a female voice from the door.
"Maniko would the look you gave Shippo have to with this legend?" Asked her lord and Maniko nodded.
"As you know my people have foresight and I saw that I would mother the child to bring the creature of legend to life. I had when I was young found the creature and was stunned. It was a spirit. He approached me and kissed my cheek and told me. I was chosen. He then left. I was confused then but a few days later I saw a vision of me with a child. Then a grandchild with Kitsune and Inu features. Then when I woke I went to my parents and my mother told me the story." She smiled and placed her hand on her stomach.
"So you're saying that Inu Yasha will be the grandfather of the child." Maniko nodded and smiled. She had yet to tell him that he was to father his stepmother. Maniko was looking out the window.
"I can see the flames in the sky waiting to enter my grandchild. They call to be used." Kagome stopped Flames from the sky. Meaning this child will control the stars and the meteors. That would be a death to anyone. Or can it control the sun. That will be scary. She had a few things to find out here. It was confusing she grabbed the book from Sesshoumaru. And read. The book said nothing about the flames from the sky.
"Is there more to this story?" Asked Kagome. Maniko nodded and grabbed her version. There Kagome got her answer.
(Story)
This being will control any kind of flames. Flames that come from above and blow the heavens. It can rain balls of fire from the sky or make the fire in camp exploded into roaring flames that will engulf any threat.
(Reality)
"This isn't good. Let's hope the kit stay's on our side. I don't want this to go to the wrong hands." Said Kagome. Her family had heard this legend just not to this extent and it scared her. She knew that the child would be of help. What could they do when the time came to fight the evil Hanyou? They had to wait till the child reached the age needed to mate.
"Oh I forgot to tell you lady. My child will grow like the young lord Inu Taisho. Grow like a human child till it reaches mating age then be a normal growth rate." Said Maniko.
(Kagome's POV)
I was shocked to hear this. I was going to have a niece and she will be able to mate in twelve years. Well thirteen, but the point is I will be a grandma to a child that could destroy the planet if we weren't careful. The big question was what was Maniko smirking at?
"What aren't you telling us?" I asked confused as to why she was smirking.
"That the child chooses who the threat is. I was scared about it choosing us but then when we tell it about Sango and Kohaku. Grandpa and Kikyo. Grandpa and Grandma Kagome. Miroku and all I think it will do the right thing. It should be safe to say we have an advantage. I must go to my mate and see if the other's need help don't worry my lady. I know we can get the Kit to help." Said Maniko to me. I was still scared. This was feeling of danger from before. The kit was a threat to me and the child.
"I think we need to worried. Even if we explain that the child could still think we are the threat. I don't want this to happen we need to stop him before it is to…Wait I got an idea." I read the book from the fire Inu further and found out how they got the child to there side.
"I see I guess we have nothing to worry about then. But I would still be concerned." The book said let everything play out. You can tell stories to it and love it then the child will see what is wrong and do the right thing and go after the evil. If you force it to you then it will be against you. Or at least along those lines.
(Author's POV)
It would be months before the child would be born. In the mean time they prepared two rooms. One for Maniko and Inu and the pup. The other for Sango's child. They were excited to see the children coming. The day would be grand. For the children will be handful's but well looked after and loved. Kagome told Sango and Miroku the news of the second child and the legend Sango and Miroku had heard it and came to the same conclusion to watch out but when the child comes love it all the same.
Three Months later
Sang was giving birth and so was Maniko since the child was full demon the pup would be born sooner then most. Inu Yasha was happy to see a child of his own coming into the world. He watched his mate push out the infant. Odd though that the child held the symbol of the northern family. The moon engulfed in a bright red flame. Then he saw it appear on Maniko's head. When the child came out He was shocked. Then he remembered what his mother said.
Maniko is the daughter of the northern lord. She ran away because she didn't want that life. She wanted to be free. He smiled the child they had was heir to the northern throne. He had to laugh. Then he held his daughter and kissed its forehead and then his mate.
"You seemed shocked she bares the royal family symbol." She said playfully.
"I forgot that you were the run away daughter of the north. Now our child is heir to that throne. I just hope your father doesn't come take her away." He said and gave the child to its mother to feed. He smiled and went to see Sango.
Miroku was waiting for her to stop throwing thing at him. He was scared for his life. Then he saw Inu Yasha coming. Inu Yasha was confused at him for being outside.
"She is threatening to kill me." He saw Inu Yasha laughed.
"Then you stand in a corner she can't see you and wait till she is done giving birth. Maniko did the same when my daughter was coming out. They both currently are sleeping. I thought I would come check on you." He said and walked him in.
"Hello Miroku you are lucky I was just on my way to get you. Lady Izyao (SP?) is currently sleeping with her mother. She needs her rest for she has a long life ahead of her." Said Keade and left. Inu Yasha smiled his mother the daughter the child to his friends. She looked the same.
"I wonder how Kagome and Sesshoumaru are they have yet to be seen." Said Miroku. Inu nodded. He walked to the study and found Kagome asleep with her son in her arms. Sesshoumaru working.
"What do you need I have been informed of the children's birth." Said Sesshoumaru.
"We were wondering where you were I was just coming to see if Kagome wanted to see the children but I won't wake her. Is dad being good." Sesshoumaru nodded. And walked to his son. Picked him up and took him to the pin. He needed to be in his crib or pin when he slept.
"He would kill her when he moved in his sleep. The claws are dangerous even at this age." He grabbed Kagome and put her on the couch. She had tired her self out again. She had been reading the books and was falling asleep. Inu Taisho was screaming because he heard Sango and Maniko screaming in pain. His ears hurt. She had placed him on her heart to block the sounds out. He fell asleep after that. Then she did because for awhile he would still cry in pain from his ears.
"I guess I should go to Maniko and check on her." He said and left. Sesshoumaru laid Kagome's head on his lap and had the pin near him to watch his pup. He smiled he was complete. The door opened to reveal to children come running in. Rin came over and sat on the ground in front of Sesshoumaru. Shippo took to his mother's shoulder. Sesshoumaru knew that in thirteen years all three of his children will be mated or finding mates. Even the one Kagome currently carried was going to be a problem. He planned to have more though. He wanted a litter of them. But he would stop if she asked.
"You two need to be quiet. Your mother is sleeping so is your brother. So you can find a book to read or go out side and play. Your mother tired herself out. I will be here for a while to make sure she is safe." They nodded and went to the shelves to find a book to read.
The next morning
Kagome woke in her bed and saw her son in her arms. She sat up and fed him. Then went to bath. She dressed her son and herself. When she got to the nursery she found Sango and Maniko in there. There were three cribs and a bunch of clothes and toys. She laid the child down and smiled.
"Morning you two." She said and they looked at her like she was nuts.
"I woke up at three and six." Kagome laughed she knew how they felt.
"Been there done that. You get used to it. Plus you both had practice with my child. So you shouldn't complain. Then I guess it is different when you are the mom. I will help when I can. But I have another on the way. I think though this is going to be twins." She said and placed her hand on the swelling stomach. Sesshoumaru came in along with the two other fathers'.
"Actually you currently carry four children. I had the servants work on an extension to our room so we can have the five young pups near us. I don't mean to be rude but there would not be enough room for seven cribs in here." He said and the other's nodded.
"We understand actually when you said that I was worried. Then you answered it. I felt glad that you weren't going to crowd the room." Said Sango. She looked at her daughter and smiled. Then saw something on her head that came and vanished. It was the symbol for the Western Family.
"I saw that don't worry it will appear when and if they mate. Since it is their second chance. It show's that the plan is there. She died the mate of my father. Now she will be it again." Said Sesshoumaru. He smiled and showed Sango the moon on Kagome's head. He pulled her close and looked at his sleeping father/son. He knew he was content with them. Let's hope it works out this time. He thought.
"I think I will go eat. I have two other children waiting for me in the dinning hall." Said Kagome kissed her son and husband and left. Sesshoumaru followed and left the other's to take care of the children.
Sango laid her daughter to sleep and then walked to the dinning hall. She looked at her lover and knew more would be coming. By then though she would be used to waking up at odd hours to feed the child. Miroku put his hand around her waist and held her close as they walked away. She knew he was thinking of more and she would more then willingly give it to him. He was all she needed. They were married and would want a big family. Only thing is what about her brother.
After the battle that Kagome ended with her life they went separate ways Sango took Kohaku to their home. He remembered it all but was also assured it was not his fault. Sango needed to talk. She was watching him come back to his old life as they grew up. He practiced with his weapon and talked to her. She had brought him to the village.
She was worried Sesshoumaru still didn't trust him. She would ask if he was okay with her bringing him to the castle. They would be living there and he could watch the children or stay near her. She wanted to keep an eye on him to make sure he was not stolen by Naraku.
