Chapter 16: Christmas Night

After a few days of shopping for family and friends, Kira felt exhausted. And when her parents asked what was wrong with her, she just simply said that she wasn't getting enough sleep. So far they still didn't know that she was pregnant.

Kagome and Inuyasha had come over Christmas Eve to spend the night. Inuyasha had also had an arm load of gifts because he didn't want Kagome to overwork herself.

Kira was now just laying on her bed with her eyes closed. She was still tired and felt like resting.

"Are you alright Kira?" Sesshomaru asked as he walked into the room. He had gotten used to wearing Modern Era cloths and was wearing a navy blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up and black pants.

"Tired." She mumbled as she rolled over onto her side.

He chuckled as he closed the door behind him. He then went over to the bed and sat next to her. "Is the pregnancy bothering you that much dear?"

"No. Not really."

"Then why are you so tired lately?" He said as he stroked her hair.

"I'm worried about my parents reactions tomorrow." She moaned as she just layed on the bed.

He chuckled again. "Are you really that worried?"

She rolled over to face him and looked up at him. "I'm terrified. What if they panic and order me to get an abortion or something? Or what if they refused to talk to me?"

He just kept smiling. "I'm sure your parents will not ignore you or have you get this 'abortion' thing. You are their daughter and they will be proud of you for bareing the heir of the western lands." He said as he leaned over and kissed her. "I am already proud of you. And I am happy and honored to be having you bare my child."

She smiled softly at him and sat up. "And i am happy and honor to be carrying your child." She said as she moved close to him and kissed him.

He kissed her back, running a hand over her stomach. He then pushed her back onto the bed as he held her in a kiss.

Somebody is wanting me. She said softly in his mind as she felt his hand move up and gently squeezed her breast.

Only a little. He said cutely as he continued to move his hand upward to cup her face.

She smirked in the kiss and wrapped her arms around him.

I've been wanting to mate with you again. It felt so good. He admitted as his other hand traced it's way down her side and to her hip.

She shivered a bit as she felt her shirt being lifted up but kept kissing him. You know what? So did I.

He smirked lustfully and slipped her shirt off. "Then let me give you a Christmas present you will never forget." He said as he unhooked her bra and began to pleasure her.

It was around midnight and all was silent. Everyone was asleep and the Christmas tree in the family room glowed in the darkness.

The minute the grandfather clock struck midnight, soot started rolling out of the chimney and out fell a man in now soot covered white and teal robes, coughing as he sat on the hearth.

"Haku! Move it! I'm coming down." Came a female voice above him.

"Okay okay hold on." The man named Haku crawled out of the fireplace and stood. He dusted himself off as a female demon soon came down.

"Tell me again why we couldn't use the front door?" Haku asked as he watched the demoness crawl out of the fireplace.

The demoness had long silver hair in pigtail braids, bright golden eyes, and pale skin. She was wearing a haorie with a blue honeycomb sakura pattern on the left shoulder and on the ends of the sleeves. She also wore white pants, black boots and a yellow and blue sash around her shoulders. She was now just covered in soot as she sighed and looked at the spiritual slayer. "Because in case you forgot, grandpa and grandma have a security system on the mansion. And we didn't want to wake the whole house now did we?" She said as she glared at Haku

Haku said as looked over at the tree. "Are you sure we should be doing this?"

"Very sure." Came Kenji said as he soon appeared in the fireplace. "They will need help in the final battle with Naraku." As he got out of the fireplace, he reached into his haorie and pulled out three small bracelets made of black beads and a single fang.. "Let's make this quick. The Master will be waking soon."

Sukimaru soon appeared in the fireplace. She dusted herself off quickly and pulled out the three same bracelet from her pants pocket. "They will need these more then we do now."

Hoshimaru nodded and took off her bracelet from her wrist. "Indeed they will. If the stories are true, it will be only a few months until the final battle with Naraku comes. They will need these bracelets to protect themselves and our infent selves."

"And it will be only a few months until Sukimaru, myself and you, my dear sister, are born." Kenji said as he watched Haku digged around in his robes and finally pulled out his bracelet plus two others.

"But don't they already have one of these for baby Haku?" Hoshimaru said as she held the bracelet gently in her fingers.

"If memory serves right, Naraku will come after them all soon. And since only the infent me has the Cloaking Bracelet, it won't hide all of them." Haku said as he looked at his fellow gaurdians.

"Alright. Enough talk." Kenji said as he held the bracelet before him. "We need to leave here soon before the Master senses that we are gone."

"Alright alright." Sukimaru said as she sighed heavily. "Let's get this over with."

They all nodded and held out the bracelets in one hand. All ten of them started glowing and rose into the air. Haku started to recite and enchantment on the ten bracelets while praying. The ten bracelets then grouped together as a single ball of light and, after a bright flash of light, were soon enclosed in a small wrapped packaged.

Hoshimaru held out her hands and let the box float down to her. "Hopefully they will realize the tenth bracelet will be for Rin." She said as she went over to the tree and placed it under it's branches.

"They will." Kenji said as he went over to his sister with a soft smile on his face. "Father did say that he was the one who realized who the tenth bracelet was ment for."

Hoshimaru nodded as she looked at the present under the tree.

Sukimaru sighed and the froze. She lifted her head slightly and sniffed the air.

"What is it Sukimaru?" Haku asked as he noticed the half demon priestess walked over toward the doors.

"Not sure. I'll be right back." She said as she gently and quietly turned the knob.

"Sukimaru you can't! We can't let anyone see us." Hoshimaru warned as she watched her friend.

"Don't worry. I know what i'm doing. Just stay here until i get back." She said as she quietly opened the door and disappeared outside.

She followed the familiar scent across the front hall and toward the kitchen. She could soon hear that someone was inside the kitchen and making a lot of noise.

As she got closer to the door, she gently pushed it open and peeked inside.

She then smiled softly as she saw her younger looking father making something for her still pregnant mother.

"Geez. Why does Kagome have to have these weird cravings in the middle of the night?" He mumbled as he sliced up a banana and put the slices on the toasted bread. He then froze and glanced over at the door. "Who's there? Kagome is that you?"

Sukimaru laughed softly. "Not really but close enough." She said as she slowly opened the door and stepped into the kitchen. "Hi.....dad."

Inuyasha stood there in shock. He didn't even flinch when the knife he was holding suddenly dropped to the floor. "Did.....Did you just call me dad?"

"Well duh. You are my father." She said as she leaned against the wall. "Course i'm not born yet for another four months or so."

"You're....my daughter.....aren't you?" He was soon relaxing as he took in the half demon girl's features. Kira was right. His daughter did have his ears, hair and additude but Kagome's eyes.

"Geez, mom was right. You really were not all that smart when she met you." Sukimaru said as she smirked a bit.

"I'm smart enough to know that you have my ears and hair." He said as he bent over to pick up the fallen knife.

"Feh whatever." Sukimaru said as she went over to her father.

Inuyasha stood up and placed the knife on the counter. "What are you doing here?" He asked as he looked up at her now that she was standing next to him.

"The others and i were dropping off your present that's gonna help ya avoid Naraku." She said as she picked up a banana slice and started eating it. "But I soon smelled your scent and wanted to meet my younger father."

Inuyasha sighed and went back to making the sandwhich.

Sukimaru just smiled. "Mom got hungry huh?"

"Yeah. She's craving a toasted banana, peanut butter and jelly sandwhich right now." He said as he opened the jar of jelly that was next to the cutting board.

"Just so you know in the future, bananas are gonna be my favorite food." She said as she watched her father.

"That explains why Kagome's been craving banana's lately." He said as he smeared on the jelly on the other piece of toast.

Sukimaru giggled and picked up another banana slice. "And in case you and Kagome have been wondering. Yes, i'm going to become a holy terror growing up and yes, you and mother are going to be wonderful parents."

Inuyasha stopped and looked over at his daughter. He smiled softly as he looked at her. "Thanks. I really needed to hear that."

"Course you kinda suck at it."

"HEY!"

Sukimaru giggled. "I'm kidding!"

Inuyasha huffed and slipped on the jelly on the toast to complete the sandwhich. "You deffinately have Kagome's sense of humor." He said dryly as he sliced the sandwhich in half and place it on a plate.

"Sorry." She said as she stood up and stretched. "I should be going."

"Really?' Inuyasha looked up at his future daughter.

"Yeah. The master tends to be a little hard on us when he discovers us missing. Mostly me though." She said as she sighed a bit.

"Who is your master? Kira said that you couldn't tell her." He said as he started putting the peanut butter and jelly away in the pantry and placed the dirty knife in the sink.

"She's right. I can't tell you. But you'll know soon." She said as she smiled at him.

Inuyasha growled and he picked up the plate.

"Tell me. Has your right eye been hurting?"

He froze in front of the door. "Yeah.....it....it has....." He asked as he looked over at her. "What about it?"

"It's a sign dad." She said as she went over to him. "It's a sign of something to come. And it's a sign of how close you are to the basturd's mother."

"You mean Sesshomaru's mother?" He asked as he looked at her curiously.

She nodded "Uh huh. The black pearl in your eye is resonating to her presense the close you get to her."

"But why is it resonating to her?" He asked as he rubbed his fingers over his right eye.

"Think about it dad. Who is it that resides in the land between this world and the next?" She said as she poked him in the forehead.

He was silent after that as he thought about it. "But...it can't be.....how can he be reacting to her? He's dead."

"I don't know. The master never really told us how he came to be alive again. I tired asking you and mom but you guys wouldn't spill either." She said as she leaned against the wall.

"Guess we'll have to find out then." He said as he switched off the light and left the kitchen.

Sukimar followed after him. "That is the only way."

They stopped in front of the stairs and looked at each other.

"I guess this is goodbye." Inuyasha said as he looked at his daughter.

Sukimaru laughed softly. "Not really. And not forever. I am gonna be born in about four months. And it depends if Hoshimaru predicts me meeting anyone of you again."

Inuyasha nodded. "You better get going before the old man notices that you guys are gone."

She giggled and nodded. "Yeah. Later dad." She hugged her father softly and then headed toward the living room and he went up the stairs. "Okay. Let's get going." She told the others as she closed the door behind her.

"Finally." Haku said as he got up off ther couch. "What were you doing for so long?"

"None of your business." She said as she walked past him

Hoshimaru rolled her eyes, already knowing who Sukimaru had been talking too.

They all formed a circle and in a flash of light, disappeared.
