Chapter Twenty-Six
Kagome sat in the window looking out at the lands Sesshoumaru had yet to return and she was worried. She had a lot to do that day Naraku was way over due for an attack. That fact alone worried her. She had earlier fed the child in the nursery. The pup born from the bitch trying to steal her mate. She was pregnant her self and needed to calm down.
Sango came by occasionally came by to look at her sister and noticed the worry written on her face and knew why she was so upset. Sesshoumaru had yet to return from patrol. He was never gone this long. It had been a month since the last attack and Sesshoumaru went to patrol this morning and had not come back. That was at the early morning. It was now noon. Sesshoumaru was not back.
"Mate come back to me." She said quietly tears in her eyes. She knew something had happened and she knew then what to do.
"INU TAISHO, RIN, TENKU, KOSUKE, DAWN, AND TIORIN I NEED YOU TO COME HERE!" She yelled and the children came running. They were aware of their missing father. Inu Taisho was waiting for her to call for them.
"Yes mother how can we help?" Asked Dawn she was in the palace because Tenku had sent for her after nine and knew her mom would need them to help look for the lord. Their father made a habit of being there when there mother woke. She was pregnant and he wanted to be there when the pup was there.
"I need you to go over the lands and find your father. I can't leave do to the pup. I need all of you to find him." They nodded and left. Inu Taisho ran and grabbed Sounga and left he had a feeling he would need it. He was more worried for his mother. She never took the pain of others well and the thought that his dad was dead would kill her. Mother he is alive just in trouble. I know it. I will bring father back. He thought and let his senses carry him to his dad.
"Sisters brothers this way I know where he is. I don't know why I know I do. Come he needs us." They nodded and headed to the woods. When they reached a clearing they saw him being attacked. Inu Taisho went into a rage but was calm.
"You will unhand our father now our die." Said Dawn between all the children she was the second strongest next to Inu Taisho. He was the most powerful true equal balance of miko and youkai blood. He had both powers to his disposal like their mother. Dawn was slightly less balanced but had the abilities just not as powerful. But they all could fight.
"So the royal brats came to find daddy. Mommy didn't come pity I would love…AAAAAAHHHHH!" the beast under the control of Naraku was killed by Dawn. She didn't bother to let her powers be used she murdered him with her claws. Inu Taisho grabbed their father and headed home.
"Thank you Dawn I didn't like where that was headed. Mother is no play toy." He said and Dawn smiled they all looked to their mother for comfort and would die for her. She meant everything. They all were protective. Kosuke even though his twin was important cared for his family. His dad was no different even though his mom was more important he cared for him. The demon was after all the one who sired him.
When they return Inu Taisho brought their father to his room and laid the great lord down. He heard his mother coming and moved. She was nearly in tears the pup in her was messing with her emotions. She was a wreck He hugged her and she went to her mates side and healed him then went to sleep.
"Mom will be better after rest let's just hope that pup will be okay." Said Dawn then left but was stopped by moaning in the room. She looked and saw her dad waking.
"What happened and why am I in my…Kagome?" he was confused but then relaxed realizing that she was sleeping.
"Father we found you and saved your life at mother's request. You are safe now." Said Tiorin and nodded. He felt the lady he loved in the court right now. He also knew she had mated a guard. He knew that he would wait maybe move on. His family was enough to keep him alive.
"Dawn I smell a new member to the grandchildren I have." Dawn blushed and nodded she knew of her unborn child and knew Ginta knew for he said he had to talk to Kouga about them mating. She needed the okay from her father and siblings. Sesshoumaru would be angered.
"Father I will discuss that with you and mother awake Okay. Right now I must return to the father." This told him the pup was half wolf and he knew the Ookami Ginta would need to be dealt with. He groaned and laid down feeling his new pup was awake and fidgeting in its mother's womb. He smirked this pup would be like the others. He would have his hands full. The others had a tendency to love to bug him while he was working.
Flash Back
Sesshoumaru was working on the treaty with the north his children were playing in the garden. All five of them then he noticed one was missing. He felt a pang in his heart then heard the rustling behind him and then a thump and whimper. He turned to see Dawn on the floor covered in ink and papers. He nearly laughed.
Dawn looked up with the "oops" eyes and wanted to cry but her dad grabbed her and carried her to the group. He wanted to laugh though he was upset the little girl just loved to be with her father. She had always sought to be his little girl. She was though.
"Your mother will kill me Dawn. You are filthy." He said annoyed.
"Sowy daddy I just wanted to see what you were doing and then I slipped. I didn't mean to make a mess." She said innocently. As they entered the gardens.
"Missing someone mate?" He asked and Kagome laughed. She was angry but couldn't help but laugh. Dawn had managed to get Sesshoumaru filthy. The ink was covering him too.
"I believe I have found her but both of you need a bath. And those clothes need to be washed. Dawn how did you manage to cover your father in ink?" The pup got the "I don't know" look on and smiled.
Flash Back Ends
Sesshoumaru smiled his little tail and daughter grew up and now is starting her own family. Though the child is half wolf he will accept it. His baby girl was happy. He still would miss her. There would never be a second Dawn in his life. Dawn would never be far but would always remain daddy's little girl. He knew that she knew she was his baby.
Dawn
She was running almost laughing at the memory of when she had covered herself and her dad in ink. She still couldn't figure out how she ended up covering both her and him in ink from head to toe. She was near the caves and entered. Kouga saw her and nodded. He smiled at the new pack member. Somehow she fit in the group. Even being Inu she was a member.
"Kouga I figured I should tell you not to test my father later today. He had a bad morning." Kouga nodded. Everyone was still stunned she could do that. But Kouga knew she would win the fight. The girl was strong and fast. Plus part miko. He stood no chance.
Ginta saw her and walked over and kissed her. Everyone knew she would mate the guy it would wait for the pup though. Dawn smiled and sat down. She was tired from the run to and back. She had to go back tonight and ask if it was okay to mate Ginta. Shippo would be there and Ginta would need to pass his test. That baka brother of mine better be nice. She thought and wanted to growl.
"Everything okay mate?" Asked Ginta. She nodded and smiled realizing Kouga said yes. This end was fine the other end was the problem. That was when word came that her mom was having a premature birth. Dawn ran out of the caves to her birth place. Kouga and Ginta not far behind.
"Mother be okay. I couldn't stand if you were hurt." She whimpered. Then howling to let the west know of her return. She sped to her mother's side. Knowing that there had to be something wrong.
The Castle
The palace was scrambling for Lady Kagome was giving birth early. Sesshoumaru was in no mood to deal with any complaints. He heard the howl of Dawn which meant she was coming to see her mother. He got word Shippo was coming back and the Northern Lord Kyten was coming. The rooms had to be prepared and he was in pain because his body had yet to recover.
"My Lord the Lady gave birth to a Healthy baby Boy bring it to four sons and three Daughters for now there is one more." Said the miko and left. He knew of one child but two. How could she carry another child? He would need to scent the child. He was worried that the child was given to her by force and she never said anything. But if it was another's he would know wouldn't he?
The miko came back and showed him the pup that was just born. It was in fact his. He was curious as to why he didn't know and then the boy came into the room and he realized why. They were Identical twins. Odd they were different genders. But every thing else was the same. How did this happen?
"Is this a trick?" He asked and he noticed the miko shake her head no. It was as he noticed a phenomenon. They were Identical in everything but gender and finger prints. Hair had a grayish look and the power was the same. So it made sense he thought there was one when there was two.
"How did you know of the girl?" He asked and the miko wanted to laugh.
"How else? She went to push because the girl was coming out. Then I realized there was a second. Like you I thought there was one not two. I sensed one child but the Lady carried twins." Said the miko and allowed him to take Kagome the children. Tiorin smiled. His baby sister and brother were Identical yet different. He could already tell. Unlike his siblings he had high spirit and physical awareness.
"I tried to tell everyone mom had twins but no one believed me." He said and Inu Taisho nodded signaling he was correct.
Sesshoumaru walked out. He had heard the comment and accepted that his son was right. During the past few years he had forgotten that his son Tiorin had high awareness. His son could tell the slightest difference when he could not. Many times during court his son could tell if someone was fooling the senses.
"Tiorin you were correct. So which one is the light and which Dark." He asked and then looked to his son.
"The girl is mom's daughter. She will have immense miko powers. The boy is yours high Youkai and the crest holds strong on his head." He said and the family shocked. Sesshoumaru nodded and went to his knew pups.
"They will be an asset father I suggest when they can Train them together have them work as one. Like there powers keep calling. Though they are one opposite ends they feel as one and this could be an advantage in battle." Said Tiorin and left. Tiorin command the military in battle his senses were an advantage alone. He could truly say when the time to attack was.
Twist I figured this would be interesting. Make the child twins and total equals yet opposites. What do you think good bad? Need to know.
