Chapter 6
Inuyasha frowned as the midwife looked over Kagome, the air reeking of the alien scent coming from her womb. The thing inside of her was full human, something that would have been impossible with Inuyasha's blood. Inuyasha looked away from his wife, anger boiling in his chest.
"You appear a month along my lady," the midwife told her, Kagome looking to Inuyasha with a hopeful smile. Inuyasha couldn't return it, so instead he got up and headed for the shoji.
"But my lady, some thing is wrong with the child." Inuyasha stopped walking, turning to face the midwife. The midwife was a demon Inuyasha had called on himself, hoping to capture an idea of why the child smelled human. The midwife was just as keen as him, her nose twitching in slight disgust.
"The child is human, my lady." Kagome's eyes widened in disbelief, Inuyasha swallowing thickly in anger as he watched the midwife touch her hands against her stomach lightly. She frowned as she pulled her hands away, her eyes full of worry.
"What?" Kagome gasped, sitting up slightly in confusion. Inuyasha looked away from her, the midwife sitting back with a small sigh. She left silently, knowing when her presence was no longer needed. Inuyasha let her pass without a word, his hands clenched into fists.
"Inuyasha, I swear it is yours," Kagome told him, Inuyasha breathing in deeply before releasing it with a sigh. He met Kagome's eyes, her brown irises shaking in a fear she hid deep in her chest. Inuyasha didn't say anything, the scent alone confirming it all.
"Did you do it… because I can't give you a child?" Inuyasha's voice came out weaker than he thought it would, Kagome slowly rising to her feet. She took a step towards Inuyasha, but he moved back. Her eyes spilled over with tears, Kagome looking away from him with a small sniffle as she tried to hold back her sobs.
"I wanted you to be happy," Kagome whispered, Inuyasha far from this said happiness. He looked away from her, Kagome wiping away a tear.
"Some time ago, I met an ancestor of a boy named Hojo I knew from my time." Inuyasha felt rage fill his chest when he remembered that boy, the snotty brat too kind to Kagome for his liking. He always brought her gifts, always trying to be the stuck up brat Inuyasha hated so much.
"I don't know what happened. I had missed my time so much… I wanted a family…" Kagome trailed off, wiping away a tear from her red tainted face. She looked into Inuyasha's eyes for understanding, but there was none.
Only anger.
"When I realized what I had done, I tried to hide it. We can never have pups Inuyasha. I could never carry your child because…" Kagome sobbed softly, Inuyasha already knowing why. Kagome's body wouldn't accept his seed even if he had been in human form around her, since it was still infected with demon blood. Miko's and demons were never meant to be together. Not even in the fairy tales. Inuyasha sighed softly, deciding on what to do.
"Inuyasha, please don't leave me," Kagome sobbed, Inuyasha looking to his crying wife. He looked to her stomach, wanting to tear out the abomination with his own hands.
"I think…" Inuyasha trailed off, his eyes looking down to the ground. Kagome walked up to him, Inuyasha not even able to look at her as she hugged him tight.
"Please don't hate me," Kagome sobbed softly, Inuyasha touching his hands to her shoulders. Inuyasha slowly pulled her off from him, his eyes looking down to her teary eyed expression.
"Kagome, I go into heat." Kagome seemed confused, Inuyasha pushing her away some.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked, Inuyasha taking in a deep breath. He led her over to the futon, sitting her down. Kagome looked to him in confusion and worry, fearing the worst. Inuyasha only wished she knew how horrible it really was.
"I go into heat, during the demon mating season. It started when you left to Sango's," Inuyasha told her, Kagome wiping away her tears as she listened intently. Inuyasha sighed, wondering how he should go along with telling her this.
"Usually I just suppress it with herbs, but on my way there I bumped into Sesshomaru," Inuyasha told her, Kagome's expression only delving deeper into confusion. Inuyasha looked away from her, feeling something inside his chest ache.
"We mated." Kagome blinked in confusion, Inuyasha unable to even look her in the eye. Kagome put a hand to her mouth as it clicked, Inuyasha's ears falling back against his head.
"As in, you had sex?" Kagome asked, Inuyasha nodding silently. He licked his dry lips, swallowing thickly as he straightened his stance.
"He's your brother!" Kagome yelled out in disgust, Inuyasha looking to her with eyes of anger. Kagome seemed so caught off guard by it she froze, her hand over her mouth as disgust ran through her eyes like lava.
"Demons are different from human's Kagome," Inuyasha told her, a small growl in his tone. Kagome looked away from him, her hand shaking slightly. She stood up, grabbing her bag. She started to pack up her stuff, Inuyasha silent as she did so.
"I will go to Sango's village for a while Inuyasha. Do not follow me." Inuyasha didn't say anything as she went to the shoji, opening it and letting the sun shine in. She froze for a second, looking over her should to her husband.
"I will call for you when the child is born. Then we will talk." Kagome left with that, closing the shoji behind her. Inuyasha took in a deep breath, wondering how this twisted against him. Kagome had obviously cheated first, but with his confession off his chest, Inuyasha couldn't care anymore. He wanted to stay in the hut forever, but the offensive scent of the thing in Kagome's womb suffocated him.
Inuyasha finally got up when the sun started to go down, opening the shoji. The stars were just starting to peek from behind the light of the sun, Inuyasha taking in a deep breath of the fresh air. He looked to the villager's who waved at him, their smiles genuine as they finished up the last bit of their daily work.
Inuyasha watched as a few of the village children ran by, his heart pulled at tightly. He did a perimeter check to make sure no demons were nearby, hoping there was one so he could take his anger out on it. When there was none he went towards his forest, hoping to find some wandering around.
He stopped when he heard chattering, walking slowly to a clear path that helped villager's find their way towards Sango's village. He stopped in the bushes, his eyes narrowing slightly as he saw Koga walking next to Kagome. The demon smiled despite the obvious sadness Kagome hid behind her eyes, Inuyasha cracking his knuckles.
'Do not follow me.'
Inuyasha frowned, turning away from the pair. He started walking towards his tree, hoping to find some peace there. He stopped right in front of it, walking over to it and touching the bark.
'Inuyasha!'
Inuyasha pulled his hand away, frowning as he remembered that fateful night when Kagome returned to him. He turned away from the tree, walking aimlessly. He kept his eyes downcast as he walked, every step becoming heavier than the last.
He walked till the sky was dark, only the illumination of the stars and the moon keeping him company. He jumped up into a tree, his stomach growling in hunger. He ignored it, looking up to the sky blankly.
'He's your brother!'
Inuyasha frowned in anger, closing his eyes as he tried to block out Kagome's voice. He knew he and Sesshomaru shared blood, but for demons it was different. He knew from birth he could have mated with anybody, besides his own parents of course. That was what demons did to keep bloodlines pure, but when they wanted new blood they switched it up.
It was his life.
His legacy.
Inuyasha jumped down from the tree, continuing to walk. He wanted to get as far away from everything as possible, if only to make the wound in his chest less painful. Inuyasha stopped by a river, the same river he had come to during his heat. He picked up a rock, throwing it across the water.
"Inuyasha." Inuyasha jumped in surprise, pulling out tetsusaiga and pointing it at the invader. He froze when he saw his blade's point was at Sesshomaru's neck, Inuyasha's eyes widening in surprise. They stood like that for a long second; Sesshomaru narrowing his eyes as Inuyasha slowly lowered the blade.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha barked rudely, sheathing his sword with a petulant huff of anger. Sesshomaru had an idea that it wasn't directed towards him, taking a step towards Inuyasha.
"Kagome's child does not smell of you," Sesshomaru pointed out, Inuyasha snorting as he picked up another rock and threw it over the water. It actually skipped this time, Inuyasha watching it glide over the water before sinking inside.
"She mated with another man," Inuyasha grunted, kicking a boulder into the water. He shook his head, remembering his own infidelity. Sesshomaru was quiet for a long second, watching as Inuyasha sat down on a boulder by the riverbank.
"After all I do to get back to that stupid wench, and she leaves me." Inuyasha felt a hand touch his shoulder, shaking it off with a small growl. Inuyasha gasped when he found himself suddenly on his back, Sesshomaru looming over him. Inuyasha frowned, turning his head away.
"Go away Sesshomaru," Inuyasha spat, but there was no real heat behind his words. Sesshomaru frowned but showed no real emotion, pulling Inuyasha to his feet like he was a leaf.
"You will come back with me." Sesshomaru left no room in his words for argument, but that didn't mean Inuyasha would just roll over and obey. He pulled his arm from Sesshomaru's grasp, growling low in his throat.
"You do not own me," Inuyasha growled, Sesshomaru's eyes narrowing in slight annoyance. Inuyasha grunted when he was forced against a tree, his kimono and haori pulled open. Inuyasha pushed Sesshomaru away, slashing his face with his claws. Sesshomaru easily caught the attack, turning Inuyasha around and against his chest.
"Your mark says other wise," Sesshomaru growled in his ear, Inuyasha struggling to get away from him. Sesshomaru wouldn't let him go though, a cloud appearing under his feet. Inuyasha reached for tetsusaiga but Sesshomaru grabbed his hand. Inuyasha was left defenseless, and it pissed him off.
"Don't fight it Inuyasha. There is no point with your beloved wife gone." Inuyasha felt the sting in his chest, which only made him fight harder. He jumped up, kicking Sesshomaru away. The cloud dissipated, Inuyasha falling to the forest ground. He landed heavily with a grunt, hearing an angered growl behind him.
He turned around, Sesshomaru's eyes flashing red. His body was surrounded by wind, Inuyasha taking out tetsusaiga. Sesshomaru's face became dog like, Inuyasha watching as his body became a ball of light. Inuyasha watched as Sesshomaru became his true self, lifting his sword as he prepared for a battle.
He was not Sesshomaru's mate.
And he wasn't Kagome's.
Inuyasha was alone once again, and he preferred it that way. He knew they had marked each other, but Inuyasha would always blame his heat for that. Even though a part of him had yearned for Sesshomaru to come back, Inuyasha squashed it fast. Sesshomaru only wanted him for intimacy, and nothing beyond that.
Inuyasha refused to be his concubine.
Inuyasha stared down the eyes of Sesshomaru's true form, raising his sword in defiance as he prepared for a battle. Sesshomaru charged forward, Inuyasha jumping back and barely avoiding his claws. Inuyasha swung his sword, but Sesshomaru had improved. He no longer thought of Inuyasha as an underling, and Inuyasha could tell by the way he skillfully avoided all of his attacks.
Inuyasha raised the sword above his head, growling out his order.
"Wind scar!" Sesshomaru moved out of the way, but not fast enough. A part of his fur was singed, Inuyasha smirking smugly. He yelped when he was tackled to the ground, the sword slapped away by a paw.
After their battles of fighting, Sesshomaru had memorized Inuyasha's fighting techniques. Not one was forgotten.
Inuyasha tried to push Sesshomaru away but couldn't, Sesshomaru growling low in his throat. Inuyasha clawed the ground, narrowing his eyes in defiance. He threw dirt into Sesshomaru's eyes, the demon snarling as Inuyasha got up and ran.
Inuyasha ran away from the village to avoid any confrontation, his breathing erratic as he tried to escape the demon. He slipped on a pile of mud left behind from a rainy day, yelping as he tumbled down a hill. He hit a boulder and crushed it, slamming into the hot spring below.
Sesshomaru stalked down the hill towards the hot spring, Inuyasha bursting from the water with a gasp. He looked to Sesshomaru with a frown of anger, panting as he tried to find a way out. Sesshomaru transformed back to his humanoid self, walking into the hot spring. Inuyasha took a step back, Sesshomaru's eyes locked on his own. Inuyasha looked to the hand he outstretched, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"You will come with me, Inuyasha." Inuyasha grit his teeth, not moving from his spot. Sesshomaru lowered his hand.
"Let me remind you of why you came to me, Inuyasha." Inuyasha gasped when he was pinned against a boulder, his clothing torn off from him roughly. Inuyasha clawed the boulder as he tried to get loose, Sesshomaru taking a vile of oil from his kimono. He bit off the cork with his teeth, pouring the substance on his fingers. Inuyasha struggled when he felt a hand against his ass, Sesshomaru pinning him against the boulder by his neck.
"Stay still or it will hurt," Sesshomaru ordered before biting off his nails, ignoring the taste of the oil. He reached his hand down, Inuyasha's claws dug into the boulder as he panted in anger. Sesshomaru pushed a finger inside, Inuyasha's eyes darting to his own in rage. Sesshomaru pushed it in roughly, Inuyasha closing his eyes with a gasp of pain.
"Soon you'll remember," Sesshomaru whispered in his ear, adding a second finger to the first. He pushed in deep and slow, Inuyasha going stiff against him when Sesshomaru felt his fingers prick his sweet spot. Inuyasha panted as Sesshomaru worked his fingers against that spot, his body trembling in arousal.
"Sessh…." Inuyasha's words trailed off, his jaw becoming slack as Sesshomaru pulled his fingers back and thrusted against his sweet spot. Sesshomaru smirked, working to loosen Inuyasha up. Inuyasha tried hard to block out the pleasure but he couldn't, his eyes closing tight when Sesshomaru added a third finger. Like this it was impossible to block out the pleasure, Inuyasha bucking against the rock when Sesshomaru shoved his fingers in deep.
Inuyasha collapsed against the boulder when Sesshomaru pulled his fingers out, panting as pleasure thrummed through his body. Sesshomaru wrapped a hand around his waist, taking off his obi and letting his hakama fall into the water. He undid his fundoshi, Inuyasha silent besides his heavy panting.
Inuyasha grit his teeth when he felt Sesshomaru push inside, spreading his legs open wider to lessen the pain. Sesshomaru pushed all the way in slowly, allowing Inuyasha to adjust to him again. He waited as Inuyasha adjusted to him, his little hanyou a shivering mess against him.
Inuyasha gasped when he pulled out, his claws digging into the boulder when he pushed back in slowly. Sesshomaru built up a rhythm, Inuyasha holding back any noises while inside he was screaming. He wasn't sure if he was screaming in pain, in joy, or in pleasure. All he knew was that this carnal need inside of him was begging for more.
Inuyasha swallowed down a moan, lowering his head against the boulder as he tried to tell himself he didn't want this. Sesshomaru seemed to read his mind because he sped up, Inuyasha throwing his head back in pleasure as a cry escaped his mouth. Sesshomaru moved his arm up Inuyasha's torso, his claws pricking his nipples as his tongue and teeth played with his mating mark.
Inuyasha hissed as he grew more aroused, his stomach tightening in warning. Inuyasha couldn't let go of the boulder though, his eyes shut tight as he gasped with each hard thrust. Sesshomaru wanted more noise though, reaching a hand down between Inuyasha's legs.
That earned him a moan, Inuyasha bucking shallowly into his hand and back onto his member, his claws sinking more into the boulder as he felt his orgasm creep up on him.
"Who do you belong to?" Sesshomaru growled into his ear, Inuyasha's jaw going slack as his member throbbed in an oncoming release. His face was flushed red, water trickling down his body accompanied by sweat as he felt his temperature rise. Sesshomaru thrusted in hard with a growl, Inuyasha crying out in pleasure as he felt his head get light.
"Who?!"
Inuyasha grit his teeth as his orgasm rammed into him, only managing a breathless reply.
"You."
