"My lord there is another child …"

Sesshomaru P.O.V

He was here in my arms. My beautiful son whom I named Tsuyoshi the "great" was here. He cried once more before settling in my arms. I looked down to get a better look of him, his skin was warm much like his mother, he had dimples on his cheeks and a thick tuft of black hair also much like his mother.

Of all the bad fortune! My only son looked just like the ningen women who birthed him. His appearance would arise many questions in the council. His ears where elfin much like my own.

And his sent was pure and musky like grass and dew, he smelled like a … full demon?

He smelled of a full demon, full Inu blood was running through his veins. How was this possible? His mother was undoubtedly human there was no way …

I felt my eyes grow in amazement. Just then he looked at me his eyes full of wonder and curiosity. His eyes were golden much like my own.

My chest swelled with pride as he reached for my finger, his grip was strong, secure as this Sesshomaru's offspring should be.

"My son…" I whispered to him soothing him with low rumblings in my chest.

It was a strange feeling of gratitude that welcomed me when I looked at the bloody human who gave my child life.

I found myself wanting to thank this girl for bringing him into this world, though the chances of that slim to none. The girl is passed out and her heart will give out any second, she will die soon.

I was so lost in the beauty of my child I almost did not hear the healer call to me. "My lord there is another child!" I looked at the healer in amazement. I was sure he had been mistaken after all twins where something rare and in heard of.

You could only hope to have one child survive but two? It was a miracle of the gods.

I looked at the woman's opening and saw that the healer was not mistaken there was another head.

The healer quickly made work of getting the child out and cleaning it. I prepared myself for the loud whaling of a healthy new born but instead I was greeted with a cold silence.

The infant in the healers hand was small and pale her skin almost translucent, she looked sick and cold. If I were not for the faint aura and the soft rise of her chest I would think her dead.

"It is female my lord." The healer whispered wrapping her in a blanket to keep her small body warm.

"My lord never in all my years have I had the privilege of delivering 2 demon children it is an honor." He said bowing and handing me said demon.

Putting down tsuyoshi I held her close. I fingered her thick silver hair holding her head in the crook of my arm.

She looks so frail it almost hurt. My chest ached with grief my little girl looked dead.

I was almost convinced of it until she opened her eyes. I was speechless. They were the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen on a woman human and demon alike.

The Iris was pale lavender with flecks of gold; in her eyes was the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen.

She looked at me with exhaustion clear on her face. I watch as her eye lids fluttered shut and her breath become more still.

She was dying in front of me I shook her awake but she still slipped further into unconsciousness. I could feel my eyes react with the tears that I knew would never come, but my chest was so tight I dare take a breath.

I Sesshomaru lord of the western lands helped create her and here she was alive for no more than 3 minutes slowly dying in front of my eyes. She was my moon. My beautiful setting moon.

"Mizuki." I found myself saying.

"My lord?" The healer questioned confused by my outburst.

"Her name, it shall be Mizuki she looked like the moon … a beautiful moon indeed."

I will never have another little girl more beautiful than she.

"A perfect name my lord…"

(Sorry to interrupt the story and everything, but I just want to make note Sesshomaru is picking both names and yes he is having the special moment with his children most fan fiction I read its usually the woman picking everything so I thought that maybe I would give the guys his chance to be sentimental you know let him feel the foreign feels of fatherhood. I think some people forget that there are two people in a relationship the man and the woman lol hey I'm all for woman power but sometimes the man needs the chance to shine especially because in my story this is as mushy Sesshomaru is going to get we don't want him to get all out of character now would we lol)

Kagome's P.O.V

The pain stopped in fact all the feelings stopped even the good ones. I was numb my body was happy light and free. As I floated I could feel all the blood pore out of me no longer chaining me to this horror of a reality I lived.

I wanted to cry and scream I wanted to curse God and Inuyasha and anyone else who's ever claimed to love me. What the fuck did I do please tell me! Did I say something to someone or did I not go to church enough? TELL ME! What did I do to deserve this … this life or death? I am young too young.

Was it because of Sesshomaru? That night at the spring I should have fought harder to keep him away. Was that it! Was I too weak? Tell me please.

Well fuck you! Go ahead then, what the hell did you expect? I don't love the guy hell, I don't even like him but I was alone and scared I didn't know what to do. God please! Don't tell me cause of one night I am going to die please oh god please!

Because I made a mistake my child will be in this world raised by the coldest demon I ever had the chance to meet. He will never know love or compassion, he will never feel a mothers touch or hear a loving whisper. He will never know the feeling of a warm embrace in his mother's arms nor will he ever know that in those arms he will always be safe.

God I know that I am but a child but I can't leave now, I won't let myself wither away and die because that's what everyone is expecting I am not weak damn it!

I want to open my eyes but there unbearably heavy,

My body is so light I think if I move I might fall.

Dammit why me? Why me? Why me? I want to be a mom! I want to hold my baby after he fell down crying cause he scraped his knee … I want to hold him close after singing him to sleep, knowing that no matter what he will always be my little boy! I want to boast to people on the street saying 'this is my child and yes he is cuter than yours!'

If that makes me selfish and evil and if that's enough for someone to deserve death then so be it!

(An hour later)

I wake to feel my powers start to surface much like they do in battle. It's healing my body or attempting to. My whole body is tingling, my eyes are becoming less heavy and my stomach is tightening until finally I open my eyes!

I am in a dark room alone. It smells like death and rotting corpse, it is unbearably hot. There is something glowing by my feet. Turning my head I find the source of the heat and light, a furnace.

I can fell blood between my thighs hot and gooey. My whole body is covered in sweat and my head is pounding. But I am alive!

'Thank you god I am alive … you know I take back all the stuff I said about cursing you and blah blah, it was just me rambling about death you know.'

Looking around I assess the room. You know I think this is the room where they get rid of all the dead bodies. I read about this they only burn the bodies of royalties, I should feel honored but I think Sesshomaru is just trying to cover up the evidence.

I try to stand but my legs are too shaky beneath me. I grab the rail for support and I almost got up too until I noticed the body next to me. It's small … a baby's body, I pull her bed closer lifting the blanket off her.

It's a beautiful baby girl! Why would they leave her here? Who abandoned her?

I place my fingers by her neck feeling for a pulse. Its weak ad barely there but she's breathing.

Tears are flooding to my eyes as I pick her up kissing her small forehead she's so cold.

'She still has time she's a fighter!'

If I use my healing power on her then I won't have enough energy to walk. Taking a deep breath I make my decision. I find my powers rising to my palms as they pour into her small body.

I never thought I would be so happy to hear a baby cry. I hold her close as I collapse to the floor, the fire finally giving me a good look at her and her soft white hair and lavender eyes. She looks so much a doll with her small button nose and thick pouty lips.

My body aches so much but I know I can't leave her here not in this death room. I wait a few minutes till I try to get up holding her in one hand while I grab the table for support. Looking at her once and breathe deeply, I walk one shaky step toward the door and then another and another until I hear voices down the hall. I bet it's the nurses they must be coming to dispose of the body's.

I make quick work of trying to walk to the other end of the hall, at this point my head is spinning and I feel like passing out. But then I feel her squirm and coo in my arms and I know I have to keep moving. I can feel more blood start to pool at my legs, collapsing I start to tug my body forward almost reaching Sesshomaru's quarters.

I need to get myself to a bed and fast. My vision is blurring and my hands are burning the skin raw and aching. I can't quit now I can see the door coming up!

My hand grabs the door but I don't open, it's too heavy I bang on the door as hard as I can. I know he's there he can hear me! Damn him!

He opens the door I see his eyes widen. "I'm fucking alive!" I whisper right before I fall to the floor my baby tucked carefully in my arms.

Sesshomaru P.O.V

Since I had arrived Tsuyoshi has been crying. His insistent wails have not stopped since I his mother passed. I put him in the cradle unsure of what else to do. He is driving me absolutely mad! If he wasn't my offspring I would have handed him off to one of the servants down stairs and let them raise him until he became more tolerable.

But I promised myself I would not follow in my father's footsteps, although now that I think of it I have down a fairly good job at doing so.

Looking at him with almost pleading eyes I beg him to calm down. He disregards me and continues to cry louder that before. Right when I was about to pick him up I hear a bang at the door.

Someone has become insane and clearly wishes death. Swinging the door open I stop stunned at what I see. I must have become delirious and I was almost convinced until she whispered and passed out.

There she was drenched in blood and sweat. Her wounds are mostly healed but she was as pale as the baby she held. The baby who not a few hours go had passed away. My Mizuki, why has she brought her here? Why she is even alive I saw her heart stop and her body dies. Why is she laying before me with our daughter in her hand?

I quickly pick up the baby as she falls. Mizuki cries as her mother starts bleeding from her mouth on the floor.

I am amazed. Laying Mizuki down I bring the girl in. Once again she has me at a loss for words, she is nothing but a human girl … and so small for age. She gave birth to two demon babies and lived she's is truly the most unusual girl I ever met.

I lay here out on the floor seeing as she passed out. Picking up my daughter I look at her closely. Her skin is still pale much like my own but I can see a healthy hue of blood beneath the skin. She is screaming life that I had not sensed before.

Placing my finger in her hand she grabs it … she is strong … she is alive!

More than ever I think of thanking this girl.

Putting Mizuki down once more I kneel to assess the girl.

Her hair is matted to her face and neck and her body is covered in flaking dry blood. Her skin is so pale and clammy which is a clear sign that she does not have enough blood. Picking her up I bring her to my bathing courters.

Stripping her of her clothing I dip her into the water and begin the task of bathing her. I would never do something so trivial but since she is to be kept a secret it is something I must do.

I hated humans, but this human deserved and ounce of my respect. I washed the blood and smell from her body until she was completely clean. Looking around I noticed she had healed as well.

Her stomach was flat not a scar in sight, her body was flawless. For someone who was so young he body was very developed. Continuing to wash her hair and neck I stop when I see something on her neck. My mark. I pass my hand over it and feel a stroke of lust run through me. I quickly retract my hand and inhale deeply. I would rather not do that again, once I see she is clean I wrap her in a blanket since she has no more clothes, this will have to do.

Placing her on my bed I look at her she looks oddly at peace. Leaving her to sleep I exit the room and lock the door.

I feel an odd sense of relief that she is alive, now I no longer have to deal with the infants alone. There was only one problem … the council.

'What will I do with her now?'

Kagome P.O.V

When I awake I am surprised to feel oddly refreshed. I sit up in place and look around the room. Too say that I was more surprised is a understatement there was Sesshomaru and yes the Sesshomaru holding the baby, babies They were 2 not one boy and one girl.

I didn't think he already had a kid …

I look at Sesshomaru again and see that he's looking straight at me I see his eyes travel down my body and I check to see what he was looking at. I quickly pull the blanket over my bear chest.

I can feel the blood rush to my face

"Girl there nothing that I haven't already seen …"

I stay quiet because for once he is right.

"I didn't know you already had a child Sesshomaru ..." I say the quiet in the room was killing me.

"I do not …"

I quickly look at him and down at the child in his hands. My head still hurts and I don't get what he's saying

"What do you mean then how do you have two babies in your arms?"

Walking toward me he lays the boy in my arms. By God was he beautiful

Golden eyes like rising suns stare back at me enveloped in thick black eyelashes that went for miles and sun kissed skin much like my own. He had so much of me yet, his face so beautifully sculpted was not my own. He was Sesshomaru in every essence of the word.

Before I could help myself I was burying my face into his and kissing his soft skin. Feeling the throbbing of my breast I stop to look at him nibbling at my breast.

Looking at Sesshomaru with a look that clearly said 'get out' but he clearly didn't take the hint. Lowering the blanket as to not expose me too the peeper across the room I give the baby my breast to latch on too.

I wait and wait but he does nothing. After thirty minutes I find him fast asleep.

Both he and his sister are fast asleep leaving me with the loudness of my thoughts and the oppression of their father.

Suddenly I felt very weak. "How?" I heard the deep timber of his voice chilling through my bones as he asked me the simple question.

"I don't know I was gone for a very long time I didn't think I would ever see light again until I did." I said looking up at him after a long pause I continued. "I got up in the morgue and found her, my power healed her and most of me and I found my way back to you there is nothing more than I can tell you."

"You are impure." He stated simply look at me with analytical eyes. "Huh?"

"You are impure, a miko loses all power once she has lain with another your purity alone is your power without it you have none, thus why a miko can never love." Sesshomaru continued.

"Ok I know you expected me to wither and die, hell even I though- but it didn't happen and i'm here, and I won't leave them I can leave if that's what you want I swear ill fall off the face of this earth if you want me too." I begged, pleading for their lives and my own.

"I willed my life back to my body for them only I will not leave them here to be treated as half-blood royalty, I refuse that as the life of my children."

My heart thrummed in my ears leaving an ache in my chest and a fog in my brain.

"I-."

"You have lost a substantial amount of blood lay back." He commanded taking the baby out of my hands and laying her down.

Not feeling up to a debate I laid down feeling all the air rush to my head. Looking up at his fuzzy face I saw a figure of him pricking his lip, blood pouring down the middle of his lip. Whispering something under his breath he grabbed my face and held it in place as he kissed me deeply.

His lips moved with mine first tenderly and then toughly. His long tongue leading trails of hot blood down my throat.

"What the hell"

When he got up I saw that his lips had healed and his blood had become thick and sweet in my mouth. Turning to spit it out he caught my jaw. "Swallow it, it will replenish the blood you have lost, it is a ritual don't between mates, the kiss of life if you had not become ill I wouldn't have found it necessary to touch you." He told me all the while washing his mouth with mint water from the basin at his bed side.

"What is kissing me that gross?" Offended by his actions.

"You are a human everything bout you is offensive." He said glaring at me with bitter eyes.

For a guy whom was known for his honor he sure didn't show me much respect as the mother of his bastard children.

After sometime I looked back to the children. "What are their names?" I asked eager for a name to call them.

"Mizuki and Tsuyoshi."

"Oh, little moon and invincible, suitable names for children such as they." She had not missed the tenderness of his voice or the pride it held as he spoke of his children's names.

"Yoshi and Mizu!" She squealed as she peered into the crib.

Once again it was the girl with the alabaster skin and the lavender eyes that drew me too her. "Why was she in the death room?" I asked my voiced wire and taught. "She had died or so I thought."

"You have fallen in love have you not, I didn't think such a feat would be possible for one such as you, because they were half demon I expected you to shun them as you did your brother hide them as you well intend to."

"They are not half demon girl, and even if they were this Sesshomaru would honor his children accordingly no seed of mine would be shunned this Sesshomaru would not allow it."

Regular p.o.v

"What why, how?" She said looking down at her full demon children.

"I do not know."

"So is this a change of heart are you capable if something that came out of a lowly human like me?" She taunted smiling from her place at the edge of the bed.

"No, humans are still vile but I would give my life for these children as would I give my life for you solely for the respect of being my mate and bearing my pups otherwise you would be dead." His cold eyes held her in a long gaze making the wound of his words simmer but what could one expect from the coldest demon to ever walk the earth?

Last time in Chapter 3

Naraku's Castle

"Inuyasha he's growing weaker deliver the final blow!" A voice rang out amongst the chaos. Sounds of war became the soundtrack of the clearing, blood and sweat acting as the backdrop for the drastic scene below.

Koga's arm had been badly wounded but he fought furiously still his men behind him all the way. The castle smelled of death and soil, the wind shaking the doors violently. Sango and Mirkou both held minor injuries but fought hard with Inuyasha against Naraku and so far they were succeeding.

"Naraku just give it up you will never win!" Inuyasha said as he took the final swing making the clearing disappear into a shimmer of white light. Silence filled the room now all were still.

"AH!"

"He's gone!" Inuyasha yelled raising his sword in the air and picking up the full shikon jewel. Naraku was gone for good. Sango's brother kept his life and she had gained a husband as well now that the Monks hand had sealed.

Shippo fought like a real warrior he trained hard in the days Kagome was gone, Inuyasha thought it was because of the drive to protect Kagome and get her back. Inuyasha made her runaway though it was cruel the group had agreed she was not someone they were willing to lose if they were to lose.

Inuyasha loved her too much to risk that. 'Kagome I'm coming hang in there I'll be there soon.' Holding the jewel tightly in his hand he set off into the sunset looking for the girl that had captured them all.
