Hey, guys!
Gabe (An OC of mine): hey!
BBR: Gabe and I are here to bring you another addition to Rumors and Gifts. Tee hee… 69 reviews… /bricked for perviness
Gabe: Creator doesn't own InuYasha.
InuYasha scowled at the dirt under his feet, utterly ticked off.
He had gotten home after a particularly annoying day. First the principle was utterly worthless in helping him with his current crisis. He'd left school and was confronted by that damned Hanyou, Naraku. After escaping him, he'd gotten home to find his second gift waiting for him at the door. To annoyed to open it, he'd put down his backpack, picked it up and walked to the park, setting it on a tree and sitting on a nearby swing set as he thought about who his Alpha could be.
He knew it wouldn't be the King of the Grade. Why would he choose a Hanyou of all things? He was far too prideful for that! He'd never be InuYasha's mate.
Naraku. InuYasha knew that it couldn't be him. He's teased InuYasha since age 10, 6 years ago. That, and he's trying to court him the human way. So who could it be?
"InuYasha."
The white haired Hanyou looked up and scowled. "What do ya want, Mitsumi?"
The Tigress demon sat next to him and said "I was hoping you could answer some questions about mating. Mom doesn't explain so well, and since I'm an Alpha female I can only court Beta females, so."
"What do you want to know?" InuYasha muttered unhappily, staring at the ground.
"What would happen, exactly, if you declined a gift from a potential mate?"
InuYasha sighed. "Well, I'm accepting them because my inner demon knows who it's from, somehow. But as far as I know, if a beta declines a gift, the alpha can't send it again. They have to find a new beta to court. If they decline all offers, they wait until next season, when new alphas are available."
"How about…why does the Alpha impregnate the beta so soon? I never understood that."
A bitter chuckle left InuYasha's throat. "Think I do? As far I I've been told, it ensures that the Alpha's scent stays imprinted on the beta or whatever because of the pup. If not, another alpha could steal the beta, marked or not. I'm not quite sure."
"Interesting. I really don't understand how that works," Mitsumi admitted, "Demons work in strange ways, and it seems to apply to Half Demons, as well."
"You're telling me," InuYasha said, sighing.
The pair sat in silence for a moment before Mitsumi stood up. "I should get going. See you tomorrow, InuYasha." The Hanyou mumbled a farewell and sighed. His amber eyes glanced towards the long thin box containing his next gift.
He walked to the tree, sitting lotus-style underneath and picking up the box. He undid the tape and pulled out an elegant sword sheath. Written on it in flawless cursive was the word "Tessaiga".
InuYasha pulled the sword out. It seemed rusty, but when it was fully out, it transformed into a fang like sword with fur around the area connecting the hilt and blade.
InuYasha gaped in awe. The sword felt so…Natural, was the only word that could describe how it felt to hold the sword. There was no other word.
'Will you accept it?' his inner demon asked, despite already knowing the answer.
'Hell yeah!'
chibi-shueiri: thank YOU for the review! ^J^
MunksAngelQueen2010: oh, chill out! XD and now you know how InuYasha felt about the sword.
yukinome23: their intended to be cliffhangers. And I write each chapter as long as I can, honest!
Esha Napoleon: thanks.
janeseA: of course! I continue with stories until their DONE! :D
think-pink-jess: I update as much as I can. ^^; thanks, though.
revan225: thank you!
Brz: I'm doing the best I can. At the moment I'm in the process of writing the lemony part, and soon it'll start moving to the better parts, but I want to show my readers what's going on in both InuYasha and Sesshomaru's head as the courting continues.
.543: well, InuYasha can only be mated to a male, and both Sesshomaru and Naraku's inner demons want InuYasha. And since Inu is a beta, yes he can. And I dunno. InuYasha in my headcannon goes ahead with the courting and stays with Sesshomaru, so. but thanks! :D
