Chapter 30: InuTaisho and InuKimi Meet Again.
"Do you think he's okay?" Kira asked as she looked at the demon laying on the ground.
"I.....I don't know." Kimi slowly stepped away from her son and over to the man. "T....Taisho?"
He groaned and slowly moved to sit on the ground. He held his head for a moment and then looked around. When he saw Kimi, he froze. "K.....Kimi? Is that really you?"
She smiled and nodded. "Yes.....yes it's me."
They stared at each other for a moment and then Kimi ran and fell into InuTaisho's open arms.
"I never thought I'd see you again Kimi." InuTaisho said as he stroked her soft hair. He held her tightly in his arms, showing how much he truly missed her.
"I never thought you were going to come back from the dead." She said as she cried softly on his shoulder. She then wiped her eyes and looked at him. "And i never thought you'd wear clothing like this." She said as she touched the gold fabric.
He chuckled softly. "I had no choice in the matter." He took her hand softly in his and just looked into her eyes. "These are the cloths i was reborn with after Hosenki casted the spell."
She smiled and nodded. She then tackled him again and just hugged him. "I missed you so much."
He smiled and held her so she could calm down. He then looked up at the other around him.
Everyone was in shock. Inuyasha was still sitting on the ground, staring at his old man. Sesshomaru had moved over to Kira and was helping her off the dragon. Miroku, and Sango were smiling softly as the two demons embraced each other. Haku didn't know what to do and just held onto his mother. Rin was the first to make an approach of the demon general, going against Jaken's warnings.
"Hello there little one." InuTaisho said as he smiled at the girl.
"Hello. I'm Rin." She said as she smiled and bowed to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you Lord InuTaisho."
"Rin." Sesshomaru said softly and he held onto his mate, making sure she was going to be okay.
InuTaisho looked up at his eldest son and smiled. "My word. Is that really my son?"
Sesshomaru nodded. "It is father. And this is Kira Karazane. My mate and future mother of my....."
"Twins." InuTaisho said, finishing what his son was about to say. "I know Sesshomaru. Hosenki told me everything. He said he was able to see Inuyasha's thoughts when he slept. Speaking of which, where is my other son?"
"I....I'm here......Dad." Inuyasha said as he slowly stood up.
"Inuyasha." InuTaisho slowly stood up with Kimi still in his arms. He was smiling proudly at his youngest son. "You have grown up to be a handsome man. First and last time i ever saw you, you were just born and crying in your mother's arms."
Inuyasha shrugged. "It's.....it's good to see you."
InuTaisho chuckled. "Son. Come here. I'm not going to harm you. You are my flesh and blood after all."
Inuyasha followed the command and went over to his father. InuTaisho wrapped an arm around the half demon, hugging his son.
Kira smiled seeing Inuyasha and InuTaisho together. She then looked up at Sesshomaru. You okay with not getting a hug from your father.
I had received many hugs from father. The demon lord said as he looked down at his mate. Besides, Inuyasha needs this more then i do. He's never met father in his whole life. But i am glad that father is alive again.
Kira smiled and hugged her mate. You're so sweet. No wonder I love you so much.
Sesshomaru smiled and kissed the top of Kira's head.
InuTaisho and Inuyasha soon pulled away from each other and the father looked at his son. "I am so proud of you." He then looked at Sesshomaru. "Both of you. You have survived for so long and both of your mates are baring children. I couldn't be anymore prouder and honored."
The sons nodded.
"But Inuyasha? Where is your mate?" InuTaisho asked as he looked at the half demon.
"She's at home in the future." Inuyasha said as he placed his hand over where the locket was under his haorie. "She's about 6 and half months pregnant with my daughter. I had to force her to stay home so that she and the baby don't get hurt."
InuTaisho smiled. "That's a very wise thing you did. From what i understand from Hosenki, the future is a lot less dangerous then here in this era. Demons have either died out or are hiding among the humans, living a normal life."
"It's true Lord InuTaisho." Kira said as she slowly come toward the demon general. InuTaisho looked up at her as she came closer. She continued as she now stood in front of him. "My father, grandfather and great grandfather are all dog demons from the Northwestern lands. In fact, my great grandfather is still alive in this era and with my grandfather, who happens to be only four and a half years old right now. And my doctor happens to be a tiger demon. They all hide their appearance with inscribed emerald pendents to pass as humans and live out normal lives."
"I see." He said as he nodded at her. Her then looked at her carefully. He then smiled at seeing her round belly. "Are those my grandchildren?"
Kira smiled and laughed softly as she placed a hand on her belly. "Yep. Those are Sesshomaru and I's little monsters."
Sesshomaru chuckled and came up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her, the long sleeves covering her belly to keep her warm.
Miroku and Sango soon came out of their stupor and came toward the demon.
InuTaisho looked at the two humans curiously. "And you are?"
"My lord." Miroku said as he bowed his head. "I am Monk Miroku. And this is my wife, Sango."
InuTaisho smiled at Sango and then saw Haku. "And i take it this is the boy who is to be the Spiritual Slayer Guardian?"
Sango nodded. "Yes. This is my son. Haku." She said as she adjusted him in her arms. The boy had fallen asleep in his mother's arm, since it was currently way pass his bedtime.
"He looks so much like his father." InuTaisho said as he looked at the boy. "But from what i can see....yes he has his mother's eyes."
Sango smiled and adjusted her son in her arms again.
"Father. I think it's time we all head back to the camp. Rin is tired and I'm sure my mate would like to get some rest." Sesshomaru said after he noticed Rin yawn.
InuTaisho nodded. "Very well. I think i need to get some rest as well. My body feels more tired in the real world then it did in the bone yard."
They all nodded and headed back to the camp.
The next day, the group started heading south again, coming to the mountain where Naraku's castle was.
"I don't sense anything." Sango said as she looked up at the two peaks. "I was able to sense something faint here when we came to rescue Kira and Kimi, but now...."
"Yeah. And i can't smell anything of Naraku either." Inuyasha said as he sniffed the air.
"He's moved then." Kimi said as she stood close to InuTaisho. "Good ridence."
"Not really dear." InuTaisho said as he looked at her. "He may have moved but he's still out there and still a very big threat to the guardians."
Sesshomaru nodded. "We'll just have to wait and see when he shows himself again. Until then, we should head back to Keade's Village."
Everyone nodded and followed Sesshomaru's lead north.
But what they didn't notice was that a large wasp had been watching them from a tree. Once they had disappeared beyond the edge of the forest, it took off into the air. It and several others flew a few miles east of the mountains to the new location of Naraku's castle.
They all flew into the opening in the roof and toward the half demon.
"So what did your insects find out?" Takashi asked as he watched Naraku listen to the wasps.
After a few minutes, the half demon smirked. "The demon general has returned. And Kira looks like she is 4 and a half months pregnant."
The tentacle demon smirked. "Sounds like she is becoming more delicious with each passing day."
Naraku rolled his eyes out of annoyance. "The Spiritual Slayer was with them. But the priestess Kagome was not." He said as he stood and walked over to the doors, thinking. "The Half Demon Priestess will be born soon. And Lord Sesshomaru's twins will be born two months later."
"What are you planning?" Takashi asked as he looked at the demon curiously.
Naraku smirked. "There are only a few jewel shards left that i need. Kagura should have already gotten the two from the wolf demon by now. All that is needed is the boy Kohaku's shard and your own."
"You plan to kill me to take the shard?" Takashi asked as he placed a hand on his throat where the shard was.
"Only if you take the Jewel of Elune first. That alone should keep you alive without the Shikon shard." Naraku said as he smirked at the demon.
Takashi thought about this and then smirked himself. "Alright then. But you better hold up your end of the deal."
"By the time the demoness's pregnancy has reached it's peak, i will."
