Love the reviews. Hope to get more.
Chapter Twenty-two
They had been there for a week and needed to go home. Shippo hugged his family and Kanome did the same. She brought their son out and they kissed the baby. The boy was named Kiro and he was a powerful little guy. He was powerful yet loving. The baby had protected mom while she practiced in the dojo. She smiled as everyone was leaving. They knew the baby was loved.
Sesshoumaru was happy for his son even though he never said so Shippo could tell. He was glad that the young kit finally moved on and had a family but it was not because he was not his child by blood. He appreciated the kit. The kit took care of the others and was a great older brother. He just wanted to see the kit have a good life. Looking out for the others was not the best way to find love. But Shippo had and now had a family. A new life to call his own.
Inu Taisho was in his room when he heard Izayoi cry out in pain. She was going into labor. His mate was having a baby. His baby. He ran down the hall to the get the on call priestess in the house. As they reached the room he was stopped from entering. He was pacing the hall. Today his parents would be returning he would have to tell them she was giving birth. His heart raced with every scream.
Sesshoumaru as he approached heard the scream and smelled blood. He ran into the house and the others followed. He ran to the room and was stopped by his son. Inu Taisho held him back and Sesshoumaru heard Kagome laugh. She walked up and calmed him and then asked one question.
"When did the contractions start?" She realized what was happening.
"A couple of hours ago. Will she be okay?" Kagome hugged her son and nodded to reassure him. It was said to see her soon so scared.
"Sesshoumaru soon we will have another grandchild. Izayoi is in labor." Another Inu Yasha I hope Sesshoumaru can handle a copy of his brother. This time the child will know his father. Thought Kagome disappearing into the room. She came out and told everyone it would be a while before the baby was born. She walked back in and was going to help. She just was worried that this would wake bad memories in her mate and he would be up set.
Sesshoumaru kept looking at his brother. He couldn't get the thought that yet another Inu Yasha in the world. Only Inu Yasha would never truly know their father. Because his son was and was not their dad. He looked at his son and held the boy that is his heir. The child was worried about the woman giving birth in the room. She was quiet and not making a noise.
Inu Yasha got up and left trying to take the thought out of his mind. He was still protective of his mother. She was yet again giving birth to him. Even though it was not truly his mother it was Sango's little girl. But the concept was the same. I know that the one giving birth in truth is mom but the girl is Sango's daughter. I want to see mom again. He felt arms hold him and saw his mate. He acted like he was tough and said he needed to get away from the smell.
"Don't act tough Inu Yasha. I know you're confused. I could see the pain in your eyes." Said Maniko. Seeing through his act was not hard he had been trying to not be bothered by the truth that he was coming into the world again. The child was him but not.
"I just can't help it. The spirit of Sango's daughter is my mother. The spirit of my nephew is my dad. In a sense I am being born again. I know that my brother is bothered by it I can see the look in his eyes. I just don't think it was right to let him be here. He hated me the first time. I guess I don't want the child to be put through that." He said and knew Sesshoumaru was there and heard every word.
"What do you think should happen?" Maniko asked she was curious.
"I don't know. I just can't help feel like I need to be protective of the baby coming into this world because it is me and isn't. Sesshoumaru will probably disown it. Seeing me again. I was never accepted as his brother. I know he won't accept me after this second reminder." She said and saw Inu Yasha walk to the trees jump in one and sit there. He was silently saying he needed time to think.
Sesshoumaru stood there with the emotionless mask up and thought is this truly what Inu Yasha thought. Did Kagome fear the same? For her aura said she was worried. He thought it was about the mother. But no it was the child. He did think of the baby as a second Inu Yasha and not his grandchild. But it was nothing like Inu Yasha for one thing his mother didn't come first and second the baby would have miko powers. But truth was the child was another Inu Yasha. Son of Inu Taisho and Izayoi. Or Daughter.
"Inu Yasha I need to talk to you." He said and came into view. He watched his brother jump down.
"You going to tell me I have to leave. Guess what I was planning on leaving eventually since I know I am not welcome here." He said and turned to jump in the tree. Sesshoumaru stopped him.
"No I was going to tell you that I never hated you per say." HE explained what he had seen and heard. Then when he was born why he forbidden them to live in the castle. He told Inu Yasha everything. Then Inu realized why he had been always angry at him. He was angry at Inu's mother and what she had done.
"So you never hated me and just want the memories to go away with me. But they didn't and you kept attacking me. Why wait till you have another version of me in the castle to say this? Why not tell me before?" He asked and Sesshoumaru was caught off guard.
"I guess now I can admit I was…" Kagome came into view with the child.
"The new member is here. I have to say this she is not you Inu. She looks nothing like you. She looks like her grandma Sango." Said Kagome. "Sesshoumaru had to admit he was wrong for doing that and accept you as family. Though he will never say it. I will Inu Yasha. You are family and we would love to have you here." Kagome took the child to mom and told her how to take care of the baby.
Sesshoumaru watched his mate handle the child with practiced care. She had said what he couldn't had done what no one else could. He was happy she was his and never to be touched by another. He walked in and informed his son when they leave to enter for the mothers would need to be alone.
Inu Yasha saw that Inu Yasha was giving lessons to his son. Inu Yasha then looked to the group of children and saw that they were walking away sad and depressed. All except one she smiled. It was Dawn. She was happy. She placed a hand on here stomach and mouthed one world. Soon. She was with the wolf Ginta.
Sesshoumaru had walked his son to the study and informed him that he would help when he could. He then sent his son off to be with his mate and child. That was when Kagome came in with a smile and sat on his lap. Then placed a hand on her stomach. She knew the children were there and happy. Also she was thinking.
"One more down. Five more to go. Rin needs to have hers and then there is Dawn. I heard Inu say she was acting as if she knew she was going to have one. She does seem close to the guy. I think she may be working on it." Sesshoumaru sighed. The mutt didn't smell it. He looked at his mate.
"Both Rin and Dawn are pregnant. I just worry that we have the little room." He said and Kagome laughed.
"Please tell me the joke." Kagome kissed him.
"Dawn will live with her mate. Rin and Kohaku are talking about moving out. Kosuke is flirting with the servant girls and has his eye on one of Kouga's daughters. Tenku is in love with a guard. Kikyo lives with that one guard and Tiorin loves one other girl in my court. He will move to be with her. I think we have the room love. You just need to calm down. Let's go to bed my mate. You need to rest.
Kagome smiled she hadn't seen him this worried in a long time. She kissed her mate and then walked to their room. There she changed and went to bed. Shortly after Sesshoumaru came in and laid down the great lord was sleeping in moments. Kagome rolled over and snuggled with him and fell asleep.
Morning came and the day was full of life. The new baby was with mom in the nursery and the rest were talking about what they would do today. Kagome had her daily routine and then she helped Izayoi with the baby. She also had to get the children she carried to calm down.
Life that day was dull. Normal but the sun was shinning brightly. Kohaku and Rin were holding each other in the Garden Dawn was no where to be found because she was with her mate. Kosuke was with her and flirting with the girl he loved. Every one of the children was trying to move on. Kikyo was in the court and saw Tiorin and smiled.
"Lord Tiorin I didn't know you were here." She said and bowed. Tiorin turned and smiled. He kissed the girl he was talking to and left. The young boy had won the girls heart. She was his for the taking. Kikyo laid a hand on her stomach and smiled the girl giggled, and informed Kikyo that her and Lord Tiorin were courting and now planned on mating. Kikyo had to inform the Lady of this.
"Kagome I have news for you. Lord Tiorin has chosen a mate." Kagome was happy. She would Inform Sesshoumaru and bring the girl in for questioning.
"Thank You Kikyo. You don't work to hard your mate would kill if you over did it." She walked away and Kikyo went back to the ladies of the court.
Kagome approached the study and knocked. She heard her mate say enter and she did. There was a girl in there and she eyed the girl. She was flirting with here mate and Kagome saw Sesshoumaru with his back to the girl. The girl saw Kagome come in and was about to kick her out.
"Mate what can I do for you?" Said Sesshoumaru bored and annoyed.
"I am here to inform you of the fact our son has chosen a mate. Are you screening for a mistress?" She asked upset. Sesshoumaru saw the silent rage.
"No this girl came in saying she would mate me. I told her I had a mate and she said that she could be better. I only wish for one in my bed and that would be you." He said in her ear. Kagome gasped and blushed. The girl came up to slap Kagome.
"I will be the mate to Sesshoumaru one day." Kagome fumed.
"You will not have my mate and that is final. I don't think you want to mess with the daughter of the miko Midoriko." She said and her eyes were turning red. The girl shrieked and ran. Kagome was furious. She would have gone and killed the girl but Sesshoumaru stopped her. Biting the mark and Kagome stopped.
Hoped that you liked. What should be done with the slut? Killed? Tortured? Or disappears?
