Chap 12
End of 2^nd week after the bug infestation
By the end of the week plans were developing for the festival. Jaken and the advisors made their individual formal reports to the royal court as well as produced the list Inuyasha had instructed them to make. As they listened to the other advisors and complied their reports they all realized that they had gained many new talents and creative geniuses that would definitely make the castle town stronger and better.
The silk worms and the tailor brought samples of their wares to the castle court. Everyone present was impressed with the quality of the samples. Sesshomaru was particularly fond of the pennants with the silhouette of puppy ears. Laughing Inuyasha started the orders by commissioning several of the puppy ear pennants as well as festival banners with a great white dog. Sesshomaru nodded his approval. Sesshomaru also ordered a camp curtain, a jinmaku, with a honeycomb sakura pattern in red and white with a cherry blossom flower crest like on his sleeves.   Inuyasha seemed very pleased with these orders.
Just then the grand kits called for Grandpa Inu and so he left. Once he was out of hearing range and no one else was about, Sesshomaru ordered a surprise for Inuyasha, a baby size kimono like Sesshomaru’s. He told the tailor that it was for a doll and not to tell anyone that the hanyou liked dolls. The sheep and silk worm demons made hand motions over their mouths to indicate their lips were sealed.   The great dog dismissed them from his court and proceeded to inspect the castle guard in the company of the captain of the guard.
Along the way the kits and a smiling Grandpa Inu caught up with them.   The leash of foxes and their grandpa decided to follow along after the Lord and his captain of the guard and made the affair into a noisy parade. Inuyasha laughed and encouraged them to sing and wave to the guards and castle staff who waved back with enthusiasm.   Sesshomaru maintained a stoic exterior but internally was amused by his mate.   Kenichi fought to keep the smile off his face and maintain his professionalism. That went smooth enough until Inuyasha recruited his son Usagi.   By then nothing could stop him from smiling. It was good to see life in the rabbit teen again.   The kits convinced the rabbit that he should hang out with them and Grandpa Inu because “they were the fun people”.   How could Usagi argue with that?
Soon they met up with Jinenji. Jinenji was introduced to everyone.   Earlier he had been told to make himself at home. So he had gone to the horse stable where his horse friends lived and had decorated a place for himself complete with his mismatched tea set positioned proudly on his checkered tablecloth. When they got to the stable Sesshomaru started to say something but Inuyasha quickly squeezed Sesshomaru’s hand and complimented Jinenji on his room. The gentle giant beamed contently. Shortly after that Sesshomaru told the leash that he must retreated to the library for further study. Inuyasha just smiled and waved goodbye to him. He knew it was to escape the noise.
In the library Sesshomaru’s search for the dropped book had not borne fruit. He was beginning to think he would have to meet the dog breeder the advisors told him about in the census report when Jake, the book worm demon caught up with him. Generally the librarians did not speak to Lord Sesshomaru.   He spoke to them briefly giving them taskers, or just left messages for them, but they were afraid to speak to him. Gratitude outweighed fear this time and Jake thanked Lord Sesshomaru over and over again for saving his life.
Seeing he had a private audience with the master of the land, Jake asserted that he was searching the bookshelves for an anatomy book from the 1500s that was considered quite radical. He commented that the book changed the way the medical world saw the skeletal and muscular systems of the human body.   It was called “De humani corporis fabrica” by Andreas Vesalius. Jake also told him that unfortunately he hadn’t found it yet. Sesshomaru had been leaning forward in anticipation but when Jake said he hadn’t found it yet he inclined back in his chair. Then Jake asked if the other research he had gathered was what the Lord desired or did he need something else.   That was the opening Sesshomaru needed to ask about the Ougai Oni book.   Jake pointed to the book at the bottom of the stack, and Sesshomaru dismissed him for the time being.
Relieved to have the book again, Sesshomaru started reading it from the front cover to the back.
While the kits napped, Inuyasha and Jinenji caught up on the news and events in their lives.    When the kits got up they joined their grandpa and the healer to explore. Jinenji had remembered the broken doll he had found on the way to castle town. He brought it to Inuyasha.   Inuyasha took a couple of sniffs and determined the owner of the dolly was in Castletown. Jinenji was excited and told his three horse friends. Inuyasha, Jinenji, the three horses and the leash of grand kits sniffed their way through the town to a small tent along the river.    The refugees were surprised to see the second lord of castle town at their door and even more shocked to see the gaggle of beings that had followed him. Inuyasha and Jinenji attempted to share the reason for their visit but were spared the conversation when a young hanyou peaked out the door and spied her dolly in Jinenji’s hands.   Screams of joy came from her mouth as she rushed out the tent and jumped to get the dolly from Jinenji’s hands.   Jinenji’s eyes welled with unspent tears and bent to his knees to carefully hand the dolly to her.   Joyful tears fell from the human mother’s eyes.   The couple could not express their gratitude enough and offered it to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha denied any part of the rescue of Dolly and said that it was all Jinenji’s kindness.   The parents made sure to invite the healer to their home any time.   The girl had noticed that Dolly had a broken arm by this time and pointed it out to her mommy.   Inuyasha knelt in front of her and told her that Jinenji was the castle healer and maybe he could help Dolly since he was the one that had rescued her in the first place.   The little girl turned to Jinenji and asked politely if the healer could help her Dolly.   He smiled and told her that he would return later that day with the supplies to fix Dolly’s arm. Finding so many kindred souls nearby helped Jinenji become more self-confident and feel at home in his new environment.
Later at the castle gardens one very happy Grandpa Inu played for hours with his grand kits. They played tag and hide and seek and kick the ball until they flopped on the ground exhausted. Meanwhile in the guest suite Shippo took the opportunity to woo his vixen, Tsuki, and remind her that she was the center of his universe.
Sesshomaru looked out his office windows when the noise died down and noticed Inuyasha resting with their grand kits.   He watched them for a while and then decided he had read enough for the day. He put a book mark in the book and closed it.   Walking out in the garden he stretched and transformed into a smaller version of himself.   Then he tackled Inuyasha and licked his face.   The grand kits stood back for a second but soon were jumping and running around their grandparents, chirping with glee.
Shippo’s wife Tsuki heard her kits and ran to the balcony of the guest suite.   She saw a large white dog on top of Inuyasha and saw her kits running around the two.   She panicked and bolted to their side.   She began attacking the big dog and screaming for Shippo. By the time Shippo arrived Sesshomaru had resumed his humanoid appearance and the two dog demons were bowing and pleading with Tsuki to forgive them for surprising her.   They reassured her that they meant no hurt to her brood but were in fact having a tickle fight.   The kits were talking over each other trying to reassure their mom that they were ok as well.   Suddenly Tsuki realized that all were telling the truth. She started crying and fell on her knees before the dogs and apologized for jumping to conclusions.   In a matter of a few moments the misunderstanding was cleared up and all parties adjourned to the bathes to clean for dinner.
In the bath Inuyasha began scrubbing his mate. As he rubbed his hand over Sesshomaru’s ribs Sesshomaru twitched.   It was a particularly tender spot. Inuyasha examined the area and observed fox teeth.
Sesshomaru looked at him. “Today’s biggest lesson: Don’t scare a momma fox!”
The two laughed and snuggled in the hot water for a little while before they prepared for dinner.
After dinner the grand kits begged Grandpa Inu for a story.   Inuyasha and the kits excused themselves from the table. Inuyasha walked them to their room and started settling them down for the bedtime story.
Sesshomaru, Shippo, and Tsuki remained at the table drinking their digestifs.
“Father. May I have a word?” Shippo looked down at his feet.   Tsuki reached out and held his paw.
“Hnnn,” Sesshomaru nodded.
“Father, I want to apologize for my behavior to you.” Bowing his head, Shippo continued, “You have been very tolerant of my bad manners but the incident this afternoon…You were so kind to my beloved.   I..I…”
Shippo couldn’t find the words.
“I accept your apology, son.   Your wife’s response in what she feared to be the worse situation shows that you have a brave mate.   Truly mating her was your finest moment.    Go spend some time with her while my mate entertains your kits.”
