~Mizuki~
I woke up with a pounding headache, all I remember was falling and landing on my stomach and then-The Baby! I sat up watched my stomach for a fews minutes hoping for something to happen. Nothing, no movement. I cupped my hands over my eyes and started to cry, I didn't want to lose it.
"Mizuki." I deep baritone voice called. I looked up and it was the prince. He looked slightly irritated.
"I thought I told you to leave? Why did you stay?" he asked. That wasn't important to me right now, I just wanted to know if my baby was okay. My heart began to race, I was having a hard time breathing. I think I was hyperventilating but then I felt a small kick, I looked at my stomach. There it was again! I smiled my baby wasn't dead, it was still alive! I hope it wasn't hurt or anything. But then I remember a demon baby grows quick, but their powers take a while. I realize with in three months I'll be as big as a pumpkin and then I'd have to carry around the pup for 6 months.
"Lucky me." I sighed, I then remembered Sesshomaru was still in here. I looked up into his eyes, he was angry but not as much. I looked past him to see Kagura standing at the door with a fan in front of her lips with a displeasing look on her face. I smirked.
"Leave… Mizuki." Sesshomaru ordered.
"I work here now. Your highness." I smirked.
"What?" he said.
"Your father gave me a job here." I replied. Sesshomaru mumbled something under his breath before leaving with Kagura following behind. She looked me in my eyes before shifting her eyes to my stomach. Did she know I was pregnant? I really hope she wasn't planning anything against me. I took a deep breath as I looked down at my stomach. I poked it. The baby kicked inside me. I smiled , it was going to be okay.
~Kagura~
That stupid nanny Sesshomaru fired came back, again. I was really hoping she would have died when I dropped her. She was chasing some paper and it come to find out she's pregnant, and I bet its Sesshomaru's child. The first time we slept together I smelled her scent down there, Sesshomaru was her first. I had to keep Sesshomaru from finding out the truth, so I took the paper folded it up and stuck it in my sleeve. He was not going to find out, I needed to get rid of that wretched it woman and that stupid little girl.
Sesshomaru left me to go confront his father about hiring Mizuki while I went to go pay a small visit to Rin. I walked into her room, she was sitting at her small table with coloring supplies out coloring a picture of a cat. Rin noticed me and stopped color, I sense the fear in her body as I smirked. I circled the table a few times before coming to a halt and slapping the girl out of the chair. Oh how I hated her. I hated everything about her. Her stench, her blood, her look, if I could have my way she would be dead. Rin didn't cry she just held it in. I looked at her in disgust, before kicking her in side. I bent down and grabbing her right arm I twisted it behind her back until their was a 'snap.' I smirked. She screamed. I heard foot steps coming, I fanned my scent out the window before making my escape through the doors that connected Sesshomaru's room to Rin's. I would pretend to be concerned. Sesshomaru, the emperor , Inuyasha and Mizuki all rushed in as did I. Rin was balled up her arm still behind her back, it was out of shape.
"Rin!" Sesshomaru rushed over to her side picking her up he moved her arm, she screamed. The emperor took her arm and examined it.
"Its broken." He said. Rin continued to scream, Sesshomaru was trying to calm her down. Mizuki walked over and stroked her head. I felt her glare out the corner of my eye, Mizuki stood and looked towards me and with the fakest smile I had ever seen she asked me.
"Kagura could I please speak with you for a moment?" She led me out of Rin's room into the library. Her face was full of anger. I smiled. Mizuki can't do nothing nor can Rin, if they value their lives.
"I'm sick of you abusing Rin!" she growled. I could tell she wanted to strangle me. But if she did, we bother knew she would die. Not by my hands but by Sesshomaru's.
"What ever do you mean? It was an accident." I said sarcastically. I laughed, I felt a fist go to my face. I collapsed on the floor and saw Mizuki her eyes red as her fangs started to grow. She wasn't a human she was a demon a dog demon. I quickly did a back flip landing a couple feet away from her. I pulled out the piece of paper, that I had found saying she was pregnant. " So your pregnant huh? Is that what you do? Go around and sleep with the prince and then get pregnant so he'll keep you around… pathetic. If you tell Sesshomaru that your pregnant… you and your baby will die." I threatened. She glared at me longer, she charged at me tackling me the ground her hands with a tight grip around my neck.
"You want to abuse Rin Kagura? I'll abuse you then! Stay away from Rin, if you don't I'll hurt Sesshomaru and not physically either." Mizuki stood up her hands still around my neck as I gasped for air as she threw me into a bronze statue of a samurai riding a horse and holding a sword. My back pressed against it, I fell on to my knees, gasping. Mizuki was strong, she was demon…
~Mizuki~
Who did Kagura think she was? I'm getting so fed up with her mistreating Rin, I'd have to talk to the Emperor later about this. Hopefully my threats got to her head, I left her gasping for air in the library. I walked back to Rin's room, nobody was in there. Instead Sesshomaru had carried her to his room and called a doctor. The Emperor was standing on the other side of the bedside with Rin, I could sense something coming from him. I walked inside and stood next to him. My baby started to kick again, I laid my hand on my stomach.
"Mizuki!" Rin exclaimed. I smiled and waved. She was about to get up to give me a hug but Sesshomaru forced her to lay back down. She had a bandage on her arm going from her hand to her shoulder with ice on it. I bent down and stroked her hair.
"Are you okay Rin?" I asked. She smiled and nodded.
"Rin okay now that you are here." I smiled and gave her a small hug and a kiss on the cheek. The doctor entered to examine Rin. I decided this would be the perfect time to talk to the emperor. "Your Majesty may I talk to you?" I asked. He nodded and motioned me to follow him to his study. I could feel Sesshomaru's eyes burn the back of neck, I turned to see him his eyes shifted back to Rin. When we entered I closed the door behind me. The emperor took a seat at his desk, as I took a seat in front.
"Your majesty, I need to talk to you about what's going on with Rin." I said. He looked at me and smiled.
"I already know Mizuki. Everything that's happening is Kagura's doing." He replied. I was shocked. The Emperor already knew what was going on, but how come he never stopped it?
"Um yes… but I'm afraid for Rin." I said. He nodded, folding his arms across his stomach.
"As I am for you and her." I looked at him in confusion.
"Why me?" I asked. He chuckled a bit and turned his attention to the bookcase along the wall.
"Because of the pups… Mizuki I know your pregnant." He smiled. Omg! The Emperor knew all along? I hope he didn't tell Sesshomaru. "I could smell it on you Mizuki and that fall don't worry the pups are healthy, they found it to be quite amusing at their mothers skills." He laughed. I held my stomach I was so re—wait did he just say 'pups.' I leaned forward.
"Pups?" I asked. It couldn't be possible. He nodded.
"Three of them. Congrats! I can not wait to meet my grandchildren." I wanted to faint so badly, how was I going to handle three babies! Soon enough my stomach will start showing. "Sesshomaru doesn't know yet does he?" he asked. I shook my head.
"I can not tell him, I do not wish to lose my life or the babies." I said. He looked at me.
"Mizuki Sesshomaru is under a spell. Kagura has him under a spell where his senses become dull, I noticed his change in behavior as well, but I'm still surprise to see him attached to Rin. Kagura must have had a difficult time getting through his heart." He laughed.
"Mizuki this is what I wish to do. I wish to send you and Rin away, to the Western palace far in the mountains, with out telling Sesshomaru. He will see it as a kidnapping, but I will inform all of the guards and the police that it is my doing only to protect you both." He said. I nodded.
"But why your majesty?" I asked. Running away wasn't going to fix our problem. He chuckled.
"You will see why tonight." He said. " I need you to start getting your stuff together, I will send someone to help you as well as Rin. I am still quite mad about Kagura breaking her arm, I do wish to choke the living daylights out of her but I must remained composed. So I leave that to you." He laughed then changed back to a serious face. " No not really I must keep an eye on you and the children so please do not commit to fighting anymore." He requested. I sighed. Being pregnant was a real pooper, no fighting or anything.
"I hope you do realize you will start to show much quicker than usual and it because in our clan our children are born with in 3 months, but since you are of lesser status and power you will experience the growth but you will have to wait nine months because the powers develop slower. Ask Izayoi, she hated it more than anything. Many times she almost killed me, but I still loved her. But anytime your close to him the pups can sense their father near, they will start to react." He said. I giggled. No way! I couldn't stay pregnant for nine months, with a full stomach that's too much work. Kami was this my punishment for not eating all my vegetables when I was nine!? I sighed. He clapped his hands. "Go get ready for dinner!"
~Dinner~
When dinner came around it was a large buffet unlike how it was normally served where we request what we would like to eat. I was starving panting like a dog as I looked at all the food, I resist the urge to jump on the table and devour everything. Everything looked so good, today I decided to sit next to Inuyasha, who was looking at the food the same way I was. Finally Sesshomaru, Kagura, and Rin entered. And the pups went crazy but I ignored them. Sesshomaru carried Rin who's arm was in a orange cast with a sling. I felt so bad for her and I could see it in everybody's eyes except Kagura's that they wish that hadn't happened. I requested that Rin sat by me so then I could help her, but Sesshomaru growled and said no he would. I didn't everyone was seated the emperor stood and smiled.
"Let the feast began." He clapped. Inuyasha and went after the turkey, we both fought for the biggest leg. Until I decided to drop kick him but then he pulled my chair out from underneath me, both of us on the floor fighting for a turkey leg. This continued for about 5 minutes, until he finally gave up and said the only reason he let me have it was because I was a girl. Yeah right, I kicked his ass fair and square. I sat back down in my chair and continued to eat. I watched as Rin struggled to pick up food with her chop sticks, she wanted to cry. Sesshomaru then helped her, by putting the sushi on the chopstick and holding it for her as she bit into it and ate it. I felt so bad.
After the delious meal, it was dessert, shortcake, with tea. It was amazing. Ryoku was a great cook. As he poured me another cup of tea I smiled and thanked him.
"Ryoku, thank you for such a delious meal." I said. He smiled and bowed.
"Any time." He walked back into the kitchen. Sesshomaru stood up and walked over to Kagura, taking her hand he stood her up as he got down on one knee. Feeling in his jacket for something he brought out a small black box. I knew where this was going, he opened it to relieve the largest diamond ring I had ever seen.
"Kagura Onigumo, will you have the honors of marrying me?" he asked. Tears came to her eyes, my mouth dropped opened as well as the Empress, InuYasha's and Rin's. The emperor smirked and looked at me. This must have been what he meant…
"Yes Sesshomaru!" she said, he took her finger and slid on the ring. She looked at it with admiration before giving Sesshomaru a kiss. I wanted to puke. Rin looked sad. We all clapped even Rin who just patted her leg. After dinner I went up to my room and started to pack when there was a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I yelled. InuTaisho entered. He had a smile on his face.
" You and Rin will leave a week from today. Do not mention any of this to Sesshomaru, Rin does not know, but she will soon." He said patting my back. I nodded. He made his exit for the door.
"Sesshomaru will not be getting married." He said as he smirked closing the door behind him and leaving me confused. But he just got enga- hey… chill out in there. The pups started kicking, my back was killing me. Already the signs of a pregnant woman. I laid down in my bed on my side.
"Ouch stop! That was my rib! You guys are growing fast." I whispered. The pups continued to kick until I fell asleep.
