Hello everyone! So here's the next chapter! And please drop comments for me! And let me apologize before hand… I am such a horrible grammar and spelling person! So don't hurt me if you see misspelled words or grammatical errors. I seriously drive my teachers insane because of it. And no I'm not striving to be a writer or anything, actually an artist so don't get mad at me. So enough with me ranting on about nothing, lets begin the next chapter shall we?! Oh and for those who have already read this I have already deleted the 6th chapter and I'm starting on the new one now!
Disclaimer: I don't own.. -sigh- if only..
Summary from last chapter: He cursed the wolf demon and how careless he was. He knew the condition Inuyasha was in and he couldn't even protect him from kouga. He hoped that nothing bad was happening to Inuyasha and that he could make it in time and get his younger brother back.
He sped through the night, following the scent, until he saw the wolf demon tribe sitting around a fire. He made his way toward them, not expecting what he would hear...
Sesshomaru listened intently to the wolves gathered along the fire. He noticed the leader, Kouga, who wasn't there. He heard one of the younger demons talk about Inuyasha and glared intently at him.
"Yea, I know! Kouga got a good catch this time. He's a good looking half demon, and don't let me get started on his body!" the demon said as he laughed it off. The other demons agreed by nodding theirs heads and making suggestive smirks. They continued talking until one of the scruffier demons spoke up.
"Too bad Kouga wanted to take him off in that cave, it wouldn't have been bad if he gave us a show, but hey, he's the possessive type." the demon shrugged. They laughed and lipped their licks, making Sesshomaru's temper rise.
He couldn't take hearing the wolves any longer and made his way towards Kouga's scent, gripping his sword. He past through a lot of thick forest and a small lake on the way until he finally found the cave that smelled of the disgusting wolf demon. He glared when he saw the demon sitting just outside the cave, looking at the moon.
He approached the demon, pulling his sword, Tokijin, out from its sheath. Kouga smirked when he watched Sesshomaru creep up towards him. He slowly stood, getting ready to engage in battle. Kouga watched as Sesshomaru quick-stepped, nearing him in a matter of moments. He scoffed as Sesshomaru tried to land a hit on him, but he dodged the blade by jumping toward the side and successively kicking Tokijin out of his hand. The dog demon charged full speed toward the wolf, throwing a punch near his face, but ultimately missed when the wolf dodged just in time. Sesshomaru became frustrated with the wolfs damn antics.
They finally stared the actual battle, with fists colliding against each other's. Sesshomaru quickly back flipped and landed a few feet away from the wolf. Kouga smirked as he inspected his hand noticing that Sesshomaru hit him hard enough to tear skin, causing it to bleed. He lapped his wound and spat the blood at Sesshomaru's feet. He rushed forward, trying to land a kick, but was suddenly caught as he was plowing downward. Sesshomaru caught kouga's foot and whirled him in a circle, forcefully throwing the wolf into the tree, splitting it in half.
Wood chips and splinters scattered everywhere around the area. Sesshomaru firmly stood his ground waiting for the dirt and debris to settle. He heard wood being shifted and thrown. He checked the area around him to make sure kouga wasn't hiding, trying to plan a surprise attack. The debris finally settled and he didn't see the wolf any where. He quickly searched the ground for his sword but was suddenly attacked on his left side, forcing him to collide with a boulder, completely destroying it. He felt the pain in his side and quickly got to his feet. He saw kouga charging towards him and he pulled out his poison whip. He maneuvered gracefully and dodged the attack and sent his whip at Kouga successively slashing the wolf's leg.
He howled out in pain and stood his ground near the mouth of the cave. The moonlight had cast a dim shadow across his face hiding the smirk.
"So Sesshomaru…" Kouga began as he walked backwards into the cave. "I doubt you have come for Yasha, because he doesn't want to see you, you know," Kouga mocked. He made his way near the half demon and roughly shook his shoulder to wake. Inuyasha grunted when he was awakened, but became shocked when he saw the blood on Kouga's arm dripping down onto the caves floor. He opened his mouth to question the wolf demon, but was silenced as he was brought to he feet and pushed outside.
"I hope I don't have to warn you of the consequences if you don't successively turn him away." Kouga threatened in Inuyasha's ear. Inuyasha cringed at the thought but was suddenly drawn to the figure standing outside the cave, who had his arm wrapped around his waist. He internally jumped for joy but was instantly pulled from his dream when Kouga roughly pulled at his hair. Inuyasha whimpered softly but regained his composure when Sesshomaru began to walk towards him.
He couldn't handle seeing Sesshomaru coming after him like this. He bit his bottom lip, preparing himself mentally for what he was about to say to his dear mate.
"S-Shessomaru…" Inuyasha started. "I am going to be Kouga's mate… and I will be staying with him…" Inuyasha announced. Sesshomaru stopped dead in his tracks. 'Did Inuyasha just say what I thought he said?' he questioned himself. He couldn't believe what he just heard. 'Why would Inuyasha chose Kouga over me?' the dog demon thought, anger swelling inside of him.
He stepped closer drawing his hand toward Inuyasha, only to be block off by Kouga himself. He glared at the wolf but he didn't budge. He eyes wandered to the side as he held his head low. His body trembled and he couldn't understand what was happening. He glanced back at Inuyasha and sent him a deadly glare, but suddenly taking it back when he noticed Inuyasha mouthing the words, 'help me'.
Sesshomaru retreated and silently picked up Tokijin, placing it back inside of its sheath. He looked at them both, and laughed, holding his head in his hand. He took one last longing stare at Inuyasha and spoke softly.
"Inuyasha?… did this mean nothing to you?"….. "Do you not care that our child is growing inside of you?!" he spat before placing a small smirk across his face.
That's when Inuyasha collapsed on the ground and began crying in his hands, peeking a glance at the wolf in front of him. He returned to his pitiful sobbing when he noticed kouga turning around.
Kouga turned to the sobbing half demon and gently patted his long silver hair. He swiftly picked up Inuyasha in his arms and brought him inside of the cave, placing him back on the cot. Inuyasha continued to sob until a hand wrapped its self around his waist. He could feel a kiss being gently placed onto his cheek, but he didn't care. All he cared about was 'Sesshomaru' and how it was going to be reunited with his love.
Kouga continued to gently pat Inuyasha on his head thinking he was soothing him. He smiled before relaxing and laying down beside the half demon. He spooned Inuyasha from behind and ran his hands through his silky hair. He fell asleep against Inuyasha's shoulder, but not before he nuzzled it softly.
All the while, Inuyasha smirked as he inwardly felt the warmth return to his body. His entire mind was consumed with the thoughts of his brother and their new life together. Inuyasha smiled lightly when he rubbed his stomach, thinking whether his child was going to be a girl of boy. He giggled softly and finally fell asleep with a goofy smile plastered on his face.
Sesshomaru ran through the forest as fast as he could. He managed to restrain himself from almost attacking the damn wolf. He knew Inuyasha wouldn't think his antics wouldn't be acceptable and he that he would be mad if he reacted before he planned everything out. He chuckled to himself as he began nearing the camp where Jaken and Rin stayed.
He watched as the small brunette girl gathered a few flowers in her small hands as she made her way over to the green imp sleeping under the tree.
'I thought I told Jaken to watch Rin, not let her wander around.' Sesshomaru thought as he slowly made his way behind Rin. Suddenly the small girl turned around and found herself face-to-face with the dog demon lord. She let out a small breath before she threw herself into his arms.
"Lord Sesshomaru! I missed you so much! Where have you been?! I've been so worried!" Rin exclaimed as Sesshomaru gently placed her back onto the ground. She sent her father figure a warm goofy smile.
He stared at her for a few moments and then chuckled to himself. Rin looked confused at her lord before she finally spoke up again. "Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin questioned with a confused face.
"How would you feel if you had a brother or sister, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked as he walked over to the green imp drooling on the ground. Before Rin had a chance to answer, he kicked Jaken over the head and instantly woke him up.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiin! You dirty little hu-- Oh! L-Lord Sesshomaru! Y-Your back!" Jaken stammered as he tried to sooth the growing bump on his head. He hurriedly made his way behind the striking dog demon. Sesshomaru glared at the imp before turning back to Rin.
"I thought I told you to watch Rin, not let her wander around unsupervised, Jaken." Sesshomaru stated coldly, making sure that the green imp flinched at the unwelcome tone. He turned back around and made his way near the fire, sitting against the tree behind him. He motioned for the two of them to come, and they did so without hesitation. Rin sat herself beside the young lord and Jaken kneeled in front of him.
Sesshomaru sighed lightly before asking his question again, "So Rin… how do you feel about a brother or sister?" Sesshomaru asked quietly, gazing at the fire. Rin immediately jumped and attached herself to the dog demon and hugged him tightly.
"Oh Lord Sesshomaru! That would be most wonderful! I always wanted a little brother or sister!" she exclaimed aloud, making Jaken cringe with disgust.
'That child is way too loud for my taste, and over a stupid reason at that.' Jaken thought as he glanced to his master. 'That reminds me… what does he mean? a child? By my Lord? But how?' the imp pondered as Sesshomaru pulled the hyperactive girl from his body. "Lord Sesshomaru? By chance have you chosen a female to mate with?" Jaken said as he eyed the demon suspiciously. 'He has never shown any real interest in women before…' he continued to question his masters choice of words.
Sesshomaru hesitated and then smirked at the curious imp. "Something like that." he said while adjusting against the tree. Jaken just stared blankly at Sesshomaru, trying to figure out what he just said. 'Sometimes I wonder about my lord…' Jaken thought to himself.
"Jaken you do know of my families history, correct." Sesshomaru practically stated instead of questioning. The imp crooked his brow and then shook his head up and down furiously, making sure that Sesshomaru knew he was paying attention. "But have you heard of our specific bloodline traits?" the dog demon questioned.
"No.. M-my Lord. Only of the magnificent work your father has done in the past and of your accomplishments, along with the powerful demon powers you posses because of your blood." Jaken said as he stopped briefly trying to think of anything else. "Although it's a shame the great dog demon died after Inuyasha was born… he would still be a truly magnificent demon." he finished off with a smile, silently applauding himself as he tried to please his master.
Sesshomaru smiled when Jaken praised his father so greatly. He knew the imp only wanted to please him but it was still true otherwise. He glanced at the smug expression on the imp, also noticing Rin sleeping in his lap and thought it was time to elaborate his reason for questioning Jaken.
"Do you know why our bloodline is so limited though?" Sesshomaru said as he smirked at the confused demon. Jaken thought for a moment thought of only the most logical answer.
"My Lord.. Is it because your ancestors wanted to keep it untainted, and only allow members of the royal demon family to mate within the family to produce pure offspring? Jaken answered, not knowing whether he was correct or not.
Sesshomaru smiled and nodded slightly, acknowledging Jaken's answer to be correct. "But what most demons don't know about our particular ancestry is that… even if our female lineage is extinct, leaving only the last of the males, it is possible for a child to be born from a male ." he finished as he awaited Jaken's reaction.
'W-what?! A male giving birth?! How is that possible?!' the green imp thought as he tried to wrap his mind around the information he was just told. "Lord Sesshomaru how is this possible?!" Jaken asked, not wanting to think of an answer any longer.
He sighed slightly before gazing into the dwindling fire. "The only way a male in our family can produce an offspring is that he has to be born from a human mother and demon father, specifically a dog demon. Once the child is born, it can either be a girl or boy, either way, both can produce children. The boy inherits his mothers womb as he matures, but can only be impregnated when he is in heat. Thus activating his human hormones ( from his mother) and will be able to bear a child, or children. Although he will not have most of the female's autonomy… (lol sorry Yasha!) it will be an extremely painful birth. The male will expand for a limited time as will a female, but only for the birth and revert back." (ouch! I know his ass is gonna hurt for a week! Lol) Sesshomaru rubbed his temples and laughed once he noticed Jaken's expression.
'So males can produce children!' Jaken thought to himself as he tried to calm his nerves. '..Only if he's birthed from a demon and human…. But the only living members left is My Lord and… and… Inuyasha! So then that's must mean.. That…'… "Inuyasha!" Jaken screamed after he collapsed onto the grass below.
Sesshomaru cocked his head to the side and sighed after he realized that the useless imp fainted. He sat thinking to himself and how Inuyasha will be giving birth to his child. 'Father knew that the bloodline was coming to an end. Now I understand why he told me this when I was little. Maybe that's why Inuyasha was born, but I also knew that he wasn't shallow enough to only bare a child because of that reason, unlike me though. I was born because father needed a heir….. He must have really loved Inuyasha's mother, seeing that he even died for her, trying to keep her alive.'
Sesshomaru smiled weakly, adjusting the weight in his lap. Tomorrow he knew he was going to gather Inuyasha's friends and confront the wolf. Naraku was still lurking around and if word got around that Inuyasha was pregnant and incapacitated because of it, he could be targeted and killed in the process. Seeing how easy he over heard the wolves gossiping about Inuyasha earlier. He wanted to make sure that Inuyasha was going to be protected by him and all his friends.
