The next morning Kouga was up walking around the village looking for Sesshomaru. His wounds were healing rapidly; he had a slight limp to his walk considering the poison had weaken him a tad bit. But Kouga had endured Sesshomaru's poison before and his body had created a natural defense to it.
"Have you seen a tall silver haired demon that sort of looked like Inuyasha?" He asked an elderly woman. The woman gave him a small smile.
"Oh yes dear, he was with Inuyasha, they were headed to the Bone Eater's Well." Kouga thanked the woman and followed after his mate's and Inuyasha's scent. He had never been to the well but he had heard the children of the village speaking of it, saying Kagome jumps in and disappears.
Ten minutes after limping Kouga finally made it to the clearing; he hid himself in the trees when he saw Sesshomaru sitting against the well and Inuyasha lying in his brother's lap letting the older demon play with his ears.
"Tell me one thing, Sesshomaru..." Inuyasha started opening his eyes to stare at his brother. He was stunned to see the sadness that reflected in the same colored eyes as his. He had never seen his brother with this expression before not even when he saw their father when fighting Sounga.
"Whats is it that you wish to hear Inuyasha?" He drawled out. Inuyasha sighed.
"Why Kouga? You could have any princess or lady demon that you would want and you choose Kouga of all people." Sesshomaru lightly thumped Inuyasha's forehead making the younger grunt at him.
"Do you not approve of him younger brother?"
"Approve? I can't stand the bastard."
"Yet it was you that wished for me to speak with him." Inuyasha paused for a minute thinking about what to say. Sesshomaru removed his hands from his younger brother's hair; the hanyou noticed his eyes glazing over with worry. Inuyasha grumbled under his breath, he didn't want to do this but he had too.
"Yeah I know and I'm sorry for talking about Kouga. I know you love him." Sesshomaru gave a small smile as his brother's words and Kouga became melancholy. He had wanted to talk to his mate by himself but since last night Inuyasha would not leave his brother's side.
It was bothering him greatly and he also knew that it was bothering Kagome as well. The human girl would not say anything because of the fear she had in case she upset the taiyoukai. Sesshomaru ignored the girl as if she was not there but yet he spoke to the demon slayer and the monk.
Sesshomaru's instinct felt the jealousy falling off the young girl and like any proud demon would do, he bluntly ignored her and flaunted his relationship with Inuyasha in her face. Kouga sighed as he slumped back onto the soft grass, his energy was leaving him and he didn't feel like hearing Inuyasha's insults.
As Kouga began to relax the trees were struck down by a green whip and standing in front of him was Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Kouga gave a frown as he gave a deep sigh; great now he was going to hear the loud mouth hanyou.
But instead of Inuyasha cursing and bellowing like he usually did he patted the taller dog demon on the shoulder.
"I'll be close by if you need me." He said his voice threatening as his eyes glanced over to the wolf demon. Sesshomaru nodded and watched as his brother leapt into the trees.
"Why is it that you need to spy on this Sesshomaru, Kouga?" He asked. Kouga gazed at his love, a look of longing in his eyes.
"Sesshomaru, please can we talk?" The wolf begged his mate. Sesshomaru ran his fingers through his hair before he turned his gaze to his mate. He motioned for the wolf demon to follow after him and Kouga did not hesitate to follow after the beautiful demon like a sick puppy.
"You shall speak." Sesshomaru said as he sat in the spot that he and Inuyasha had occupied only a few minutes earlier. Kouga gave a small smile as he sat down next to the pale demon.
"So…I'm pretty sure that Inuyasha told you everything?" Kouga said and Sesshomaru gave a soft grunt. The black haired male took that as a yes before he started ringing at his pelt. His blue eyes gazed over his love's now smaller form, Sesshomaru was still as tall as usual but he had lost plenty of his muscle mass.
During the period of their mating, their youki had intertwined giving each other more power and during that time Sesshomaru had regained his left arm. Kouga ached to see Sesshomaru without that kimono, he wished to see him showing him that love as he did the day that they mated but he had made too many mistakes and—
"Do you wish to speak with me Kouga or daydream?" Kouga nodded his head and swallowed the lump that was in his throat. He was taking a very big chance here and if he ended up be headed then so be it. Sesshomaru turned his head to glare at his tan mate when Kouga refused to respond to him only to have his lips captured in a chaste kiss.
Kouga prayed to all Gods out there that Sesshomaru would not try to kill him again but the wolf demon jumped in surprise when he felt Sesshomaru's claws run through his black hair. Sesshomaru pressed back eagerly as he gripped Kouga by the neck and allowed the wolf to enter his mouth. Kouga groaned into the kiss and he gently pushed his love back against the forest floor where they continued their passionate kiss.
….
Inuyasha coughed awkwardly as he turned his head from the steamy scene that was quickly developing. The last thing that he had seen was Kouga sliding his hand up Sesshomaru's kimono.
"Inuyasha?" The hanyou looked down to see the young priestess staring up at him, a bowl of ramen in her hands. Inuyasha smiled as he hoped down out of the tree to take the bowl from her and he and Kagome sat down together at the roots.
"Kouga said that he was coming to talk to Sesshomaru, did everything work out okay?" She asked as she watched Inuyasha devour the noodles. The hanyou slurped up the last bit before he sat the bowl aside and wiped at his mouth.
"They are talking now. I hope Sesshomaru leaves his sorry ass." Kagome gave a small smile. She hoped that Sesshomaru and Kouga would work it out because truthfully she thought that they made a beautiful couple. They were the exact opposites and fit together so well.
"I think that they will be okay." Inuyasha turned gold eyes onto the young priestess in question.
"Oh really? You, the one that was shocked that they were both guys?" Kagome giggled as she dusted off some dirt from her socks.
"I was at first but now I see that it's cute. I think they make a good pair." Inuyasha shook his head as Kagome went on to talk about what Sesshomaru and Kouga's children would look like. He had to say that it was good that she was accepting them but now she found something else to talk about.
"I knew that Eiri read yaoi but it's different when it's real—"
"Read what?"
"Yaoi."
"What the hell is that?" Kagome leaned up and whispered in Inuyasha's ear and the hanyou blushed a bright red.
…
"Ah…ah…nghh…ugh…" Sesshomaru panted as Kouga sucked on his collar bone, all wounds that he previously had have disappeared leaving his flesh for the wolf's tongue to explore. The silver haired demon half-heartedly tried to push his mate away but Kouga refused to allow that sweet body away from his grasp.
"K-Kouga…"The silver haired demon gasped as Kouga worked his tongue over each nipple, Sesshomaru moaned in pleasure. The silver haired demon's brown knitted together when he looked down at the black hair that was fanned out over his chest and abdomen.
Golden eyes widened in shock and Sesshomaru started to panic.
" Hehe…Look at what I have here the great and powerful Sesshomaru, defenseless and with child." Naraku chided as he stared down at the silver haired demon. Hakudoshi was standing behind the black haired spider demon as Naraku continued to laugh. Sesshomaru growled in his throat; he wished that he could rip the spider's throat out but he was chained to the wall.
While he had been in his castle preparing a letter, the male child of Naraku's rode in on his demon horse and killed all of his guards. Sesshomaru fought back as much as he could but with his youki being limited to helping his pup, he fell at the hands of the small child. Not wasting any time the silver haired child had knocked him unconscious and drug him to Naraku's castle where Kagura had chained him to the wall and where Naraku had now showed his wretched face.
"So, Lord Sesshomaru, whose child are you carrying?" Naraku's red eyes clashed with Sesshomaru's amber orbs and he shivered with sick pleasure at the hatred that was shown. The spider simply smiled as he walked forward, his hand out stretched as he ran his fingers through silver locks.
"Hakudoshi." He said in one word and the small devil child walked forward.
"His child belongs to that of that arrogant wolf prince, Kouga. He and that scoundrel are mates and they planned the actual ceremony after the birth of the child."
A smirk crossed Naraku's pale face as Sesshomaru snapped his teeth at the hand in his hair. Naraku dismissed Hakudoshi and began pulling at his own robes, quickly letting them fall to the floor. Sesshomaru watched the dark haired man as he let his hakama fall to floor revealing his naked form.
"I will kill you if you lay a hand on me." Naraku smiled as he pulled out a jewel shard fragment. Holding it between his thumb and index finger, he flicked the jewel and imbedded it inside of Sesshomaru's belly. The silver haired demon gasped in pain as the jewel sunk into his skin and his stomach started to give off a faint glow. He felt the child inside of his large stomach began to pulse with life.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened with panic and Naraku only laughed as he drew closer to the demon.
"I shall mate with you and release my seed inside of your womb. The jewel that I have placed inside of you will allow another child to grow and you will create me a powerful heir."
Sesshomaru gasped as the memories of Naraku mounting him and forcibly penetrating him returned. Kouga took this as a sign of pleasure from his mate and pushed forward, sheathing himself inside of Sesshomaru. The wolf groaned as he felt a shiver go up his spine. Taking his hand he ran it over Sesshomaru's mating mark but he was quickly bitten on the wrist by two sharp fangs.
"Ow! What the he—"
Kouga gasped for breath when a clawed hand encircled his throat and Sesshomaru rose from the position on his back, magenta marks jagged and wild; his fangs longer and sharper, hair wild and the once calm gold eyes red with blood lust.
"Sesshomaru—"Kouga choked out as the demon squeezed his throat cutting off his air supply. He stared into those wild eyes wondering what could have made his mate react in such a way.
…..
Inuyasha's ears perked up atop of his head and he sniffed the air. Kagome gave the half demon a curious glance.
"What is Inuyasha?" She asked rising along with him when he stood. The demon snapped his fangs together as he jumped into the trees and took off. Kagome stared after him before she followed. She hoped everything was okay and prayed that it didn't involve Sesshomaru and Kouga.
Inuyasha landed on the branch that over looked Kouga and Sesshomaru and he stared in shock as Sesshomaru held onto Kouga by the throat; blood seeping out from the large scratches that were made with his claws.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped down next to the two demons. He ran forward and gripped his brother's wrist and tore him away from Kouga, ignoring the fact that the wolf demon could have lost his head.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called out as she ran into the clearing. She gasped when she saw a bloody Kouga fall back onto the ground barely breathing and Inuyasha wrestling with his half naked brother. Letting Inuyasha handle Sesshomaru, she raced forward to tend to Kouga, hoping the Sesshomaru didn't use his poison.
Inuyasha was thrown aside and Sesshomaru snarled at Kagome as the school girl ran towards Kouga. Her black hair falling over her shoulders and her pale skin shined in the sunlight. Inuyasha caught himself in mid-flight and he gasped when he saw Sesshomaru making his way towards a completely oblivious Kagome. The girl was too caught up in trying to help Kouga and didn't notice her own life in danger.
"KAGOME!" The young priestess turned to see who called her name and she stared in shock when Sesshomaru was right on top of her, poison claws aiming for her throat. The school girl closed her eyes and screamed. Waiting for the poison claws to rip into her chest but it never came.
Peeking open an eye, she sat up and looked around and saw Kouga wrestling with his mate.
"Kouga!?" Kagome gasped. Inuyasha jumped to her side.
"You okay?" He asked. Kagome nodded and before she could utter another word, Inuyasha snatched her up by her shirt and pushed her towards the village.
"Go get Miroku! Hurry!" Kagome hesitated but nodded. She knew that Inuyasha and Kouga could handle the upset demon, both have dealt with worse.
…
"Miroku! Miroku!" Kagome hollered as she ran into the hut. The monk stood from his seat beside Sango and stared at the priestess in worry as Kagome ran to him.
"What's wrong Kagome?" He asked as she tried to catch her breath, she gazed up at him with tears in her brown eyes.
"I-It's Inuyasha and Kouga! Something is wrong with Sesshomaru and he's gone crazy! You have to help them!" Before Sango could get to her feet, Kagome had drug Miroku out of the hut. The demon slayer sighed as she gripped her sword in her fist. She never used it much but she would if she needed to. As she made her way to the door she noted Shippo and Kirara following after her.
"Shippo, you and Kirara stay her and wait for us to come back." She said sternly. Shippo started to whine and Kirara mewed. Sango rolled her eyes, Kagome has spoiled the boy.
"But I wanna go to!"
"I said no Shippo! Now stay here and we will be back shortly." Leaving no word for argument she left and followed the path into Inuyasha's forest.
…..
"Goddamnit!" Inuyasha yelled as Sesshomaru gripped ahold of his haori and bit into his collarbone. Kouga had ahold of the taiyoukai's waist and had been dragging him away from the hanyou but in the process Sesshomaru had grabbed ahold of Inuyasha's kimono.
They had been struggling with the demon for about ten minutes now and they were quickly getting tired. Kouga was panting, the wound on his neck still letting out the red liquid that gave him life along with a few other scratches and one gash across his chest close to the one he was give the previous night.
Inuyasha had cuts on his face along with a few bruises here and there from where he scuffled with his brother and had many bit marks along his left arm.
"Inuyasha! Kouga!" Miroku called as he ran up to the wrestling demons. Inuyasha smiled in relief but was caught off guard when Sesshomaru snarled and jumped on him biting at his face. Miroku sighed; pulling out a sutra from his robe he threw it forward catching the taiyoukai on the back with it.
Blue lights emitted and the sutra shocked Sesshomaru; his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he quickly fell back from Inuyasha and into Kouga's arms. Kagome sighed in relief as she saw what had happened from a few feet away.
"Thank goodness, no one was seriously hurt." She rasped. Kouga's nose twitched and he lifted his love in his arms. Inuyasha wiped at the scratches on his face trying to rid them of the stinging but he watched as Kouga began to walk to the village but he collapsed in the process. Miroku kneeled down next to the demon and looked over him.
"Kouga, my friend, you gave lost too much blood. Why not let me carry Sesshomaru and Inuyasha will help you?" Kouga sighed as Miroku left no room for argument; the monk handed his staff to Kagome before he lifted Sesshomaru in his arms and started his way back to the village. Inuyasha sighed and helped Kouga up on his feet and both demons limped after Miroku. Inuyasha grunted when he looked up at Kouga out of the corner of his eye.
"What, dog breath?" Kouga grunted. Inuyasha sighed as he rubbed at his face again.
"You know something, you got some balls to keep dealing with this crap. I'm surprised Sesshomaru is even keeping you alive."
Kouga sighed at that thought; it was obvious that Kouga was weaker than Sesshomaru but the demon had given himself to Kouga. What demon in their right mind would not take an invitation like that?
"How did you mount him anyway?" Inuyasha asked again as they came closer to Kaede's hut. Kagome turned to the two demons but quickly decided to leave them be and follow in after Miroku.
"He topped me."
Inuyasha stared wide eyed at the wolf demon before a blush crossed his face. Kouga rolled his eyes when Inuyasha opened his mouth then paused as if rethinking about what he was going to say.
"Inuyasha, you're brother impaled himself upon me. I'm sure you can understand that. I was ready for Sesshomaru to mount me and take me as his mate but he chose to allow me to take him instead."
With that said Kouga walked inside the hut to be treated by Kagome. Inuyasha willed the blush away from his cheeks and he stood staring at the doorway where the wolf had disappeared. Sesshomaru had given himself to Kouga.
He knew that Sesshomaru was pretty much the most powerful demon in this land besides himself and Kouga was like in the top twenty. Inuyasha sighed as he started to gain a headache from thinking.
….
Sango sighed as she walked through the forest; she knew that the commotion between Kouga and Sesshomaru was over but she had sensed a demonic presence and decided to investigate. The fair skinned woman walked along the forest floor failing to notice a green tentacle that was sliding in the shadows.
"Something isn't right." She said allowed as she gripped her sword. Her brown eyes gazed around the area and she ran towards a bush that was rustling. Unsheathing her sword she brought it down but stopped in mid strike when she noticed a small child huddled in a blanket.
"Huh?" Sango said as she moved her sword aside. The child turned to look at her with large blue eyes that were filled with tears. The child wiped at it's pale face before he stood on shaky legs that about a foot long.
It hobbled towards her with its chubby hands outstretched as tears began to cascade down it's cheeks.
"Mommy!" It screamed and it clutched onto her kimono. Sango stared down at the child as he continued to cry into her apron, it was small and looked no older than about a year old then she noted its pointed ears.
"So…you're a demon. You can't be any older than a few weeks to some months old considering how old you look. Tell me little one, who is your mother?" Large blue eyes gazed up at her that was lightly swollen. Scooping the child up in her arms, she sheathed her sword.
"Tell me, what sort of demon are you?" She asked again as the child buried its face in her bosom. It sniffed before he yawned revealing two small fangs.
"My-my dada's a wolf…and mama…is...silver…" The toddler's eyes became half lidded and it drew it's brow as if trying to remember. Sango gasped taking in the child features for the first time.
He had pale skin with high cheek bones; he had large slanted blue eyes along with a straight nose and black hair that fell into his eyes. Sango stared harder and tried to picture the child with magenta stripes and a violet moon on his forehead.
She paused and brought her hand up to the child's forehead; pushing back his gangs she gasped when a crescent violet moon was placed directly in the center of his forehead.
"Oh my word…" She gasped. Tightening her hold on the child she raced back towards the village, hollering for Inuyasha and Miroku the whole way.
Red eyes watched from the shadows and a sinister chuckle rung through the air.
"Perfect."
