Sesshomaru was stirring at the sound of Kazue's cooing, but it wasn't anything to draw him away from his sleep. He had been thoroughly mated a few hours before, Inuyasha having proving his prowess as a dominant male, and the older youkai had easily fallen asleep when they were done. Actually, he remembered clinging to Inuyasha as another blissful orgasm hit him and then there was nothing to remember.
He pleases us well. His youki purred, Sesshomaru feeling that it was sated and wonderfully exhausted as well. Very well. When we regain our strength, beg him for more.
'Insatiable twit.' The youkai scolded his inner self, which only chuckled at him.
He was stretching an arm out without opening his eyes, unconsciously reaching for his mate and lover, and frowning when he found no one there. He let his hand slide about the cloth surface of the bedroll, before he was stiffening as his fingers came across small round objects.
Beads.
His eyes snapped open and he lay staring back at the scattered beads spread out where Inuyasha had been, and Sesshomaru's body tensed as he realized what this meant.
His anxiety rose as he heard Kazue begin to fuss and then the boy was crying, calling out for his "mother".
Sesshomaru was sitting up in an instant, amber eyes wide and looking to where his son was kept and he froze in shock at what he found.
Inuyasha had Kazue in his arms, gently rocking the newborn pup and shushing him softly. He was holding him awkwardly, but securely, and he even seemed a bit unsure that he would not cause the infant harm.
His youki cautiously warned him to keep watching and stay silent, and he followed its order for once, his eyes watching his brother closely. Inuyasha fumbled for a while to stop the infant from crying, desperately looking for something that was nearby so that he could distract him.
"Come on, Kazue." He was whispering, trying to find anything he could. "Don't you think he deserves the rest? What if I promised you candy? Kids like candy, right?"
As his son continued to cry, Sesshomaru had the urge to step in and help, but it was at that moment Inuyasha's hair fell over the crying baby. Two small fists took hold of it, and Sesshomaru winced as the boy pulled, Inuyasha shrieking out in shock.
He had discovered Kazue's newest obsession for pulling hair earlier today, and it was amusing to see how Inuyasha would deal with it.
"Ow, you little- What are you doing that for?"
Kazue had stopped crying, and his small laughter had replaced it as he tugged continuously at the silver strands. Inuyasha merely glared down at the baby before he was pulling his hair from the tiny grasp. It was the wrong move, as Kazue instantly started crying again, and the look of panic on the hanyou's face was enough for Sesshomaru to smirk.
He was relieved to see that Inuyasha was in no way harming his pup, and he had to wonder how that was with the beads now scattered over the bedroll and floor.
He is our mate now. He will never harm what is his. Through us, Kazue is his.
'I see.' The inukai said, amber eyes continuing to watch Inuyasha try his best to quiet the wailing puppy. It was best he came to his rescue before the hanyou started crying himself.
"Let me."
His voice surprised Inuyasha, but he could see the relief on his mate's face as he stood to make his way over. He reached out when he was comfortably situated beside his mate,and Inuyasha eagerly handed over the crying baby, slumping in relief when the boy immediately started to calm down.
"Man, I didn't think he'd stop." Inuyasha said, watching as his brother began to feed his nephew. "How do you do it?"
"Call it instinct." Sesshomaru merely said, his eyes looking up to Inuyasha. "You did fairly well, I'm sure you'll gain more skill soon enough."
"Feh!" The hanyou spouted, lying back with his arms behind his head. "You can do all the baby work. I don't think I'm cut out for it."
"If you are to be a father then you must learn." Sesshomaru said with a sigh, not willing to argue at the moment. He was still tired. "Kazue will make good practice."
"Is that an offer then?" The hanyou asked, turning on his side, head propped on his hand as he smiled at the previous Daiyoukai.
Sesshomaru scoffed, holding Kazue so that he could burp him, the pup's eyes drowsy with sleep as they looked in Inuyasha's direction.
"We are mates, it is expected that we have pups together."
Inuyasha groaned before sitting up, his hand reaching out to pet soft black locks as Kazue finally fell asleep with a tiny burp.
"To hell with what's expected." He said, hand then reaching to turn his brother and mate to look at him so that their eyes connected. "Is that what you want?"
Sesshomaru fell silent, his face its usual stoic mask as he turned away to gently rest his son in his sleeping basket, tucking him in so to fight off the chill of the spring evening.
"Inuyasha, you are Daiyoukai-"
"God damn it, who gives a shit what I am!" Inuyasha hissed out, his voice low so as to avoid waking the sleeping baby. "Look, I know that you would have never had Kazue if you were given the chance to make the decision. Not saying you don't want him now, but if you had been properly approached and asked permission, you would have refused. I know you would have. I'll never force you Sesshomaru, and I know you more than you think I do, so that's why I'm asking you. Would you bear my children?"
Sesshomaru didn't turn to look at him as he gave his answer.
"It would be an honor to bear the children of the Daiyoukai, my mate."
"For fuck's sake, Sesshomaru!"
The older youkai stiffened as he was grabbed and turned to face Inuyasha, who was glaring at him impatiently and obviously angry. Sesshomaru merely glared back, his youki warning him to submit, but he could give a damn of what the blasted thing thought he should do.
"I don't care about what your duties as my mate are, I don't care that I'm a demon lord, and I don't give a shit about whose place is where or any of that political bullshit that you've followed all of your fucking life!" The hanyou was growling, his eyes flecked red and his aura emitting his anger so that it sent a shiver down Sesshomaru's spine. "If I were just me, the same fucking hanyou and little brother you've despised all of these years, would you want my pups?"
Sesshomaru matched his brother's glare, his will never wavering, even though his instincts were hollering that he bear his neck, submit. He didn't want to. He did, however, think on his brother's words.
If he had never been impregnated, had never lost his throne, and had never been mated, would he have given himself to Inuyasha? Well, of course not. He would have never even thought of it.
"I would have perished the thought of being burdened with your offspring." The words were cold and held a familiarity of his former self. It was something that had Inuyasha growling, before pushing away from the older youkai to begin slowly pacing the room.
Sesshomaru watched him, before he was standing himself, pulling on the light robe that he had been undressed from earlier. He had a thought to look for a pair of hakama, but he realized that there was no point. He'd most likely be naked again later, if not sooner. Of course, that was after he convinced Inuyasha to calm down.
"Had you not proven to me that you were a worthy adversary, a demon of full strength despite your half blood and an equal, I would refuse you." Sesshomaru began, watching Inuyasha stop to glare at him. "If you had still been the pathetic little hanyou that I'd known since you were born, then I would have been disgusted that you would even ask."
"I get the point, asshole!" Inuyasha snapped, beginning to pace again.
Sesshomaru moved forward, one arm reaching out to block Inuyasha's path as the hanyou turned to set off in the opposite direction. The Daiyoukai growled in warning to his mate, who didn't seem the least bit phased by it, and Sesshomaru merely let his other hand reach for his younger brother.
Pulling himself closer to his mate, Sesshomaru placed small nips and bites to his brother's jawline, and Inuyasha relaxed, his arms going about his mate despite his smoldering anger.
"Had you not shown me who you truly are, I would have never wanted you." Sesshomaru further explained, nuzzling against his brother, who he realized had grown some. "However, you have done that and more. You have proven me wrong and made me proud. It would be an honor to give birth to your pups, my mate."
Inuyasha shocked him with the kiss that he dragged his older brother into, though Sesshomaru easily fell into it, inviting the questing tongue and kissing back with fervor. He allowed himself to be led back to the bedroll, where he was laid out and his robe removed as was expected. He pulled away, however, hands sternly pushing Inuyasha back so that the hanyou had to stop and look down at him in misunderstanding.
"What? You did offer." The hanyou panted out, his body already ready to perform.
"You can not impregnate me now." Sesshomaru said with a roll of his eyes. "I have only just given birth mere weeks ago. My body needs time to recuperate more and neither am I in heat."
Inuyasha groaned, and merely shifted so that his entire weight wasn't atop the silver-haired inu, but he didn't move away and was still pressed against his brother.
"Feh! You sure know how to tease a guy." The hanyou said with a snort, his arms pulling Sesshomaru tighter to him. "And you know how to bullshit your way around answering a question directly."
"Hn. Perhaps."
Inuyasha snorted again, before finally rolling so that he was beside Sesshomaru, his head propped on his arm as the other kept firm about the full-blooded demon's waist.
"Hey, remember when I was in full youkai mode?"
"How could I forget?" Sesshomaru answered, comfortable with how they were laying down. He felt secure and protected, which was a new feeling. He had protected as long as he could think to remember, which started with Jaken and then Rin was added to that as well, but he had never been the one being protected. It felt. . . nice. "You tried to kill my son."
"Hey, that wasn't really me. It was my inner demon, I can't control him when he gets out and I wouldn't really hurt Kazue." Inuyasha said defensively, his face holding a scowl.
Sesshomaru nodded, showing that he knew the truth to the hanyou's words.
"And I have forgiven you for your actions, but that is besides the point. What is it that you need me to remember of that moment?"
"Well, my youki said something about you going into heat again." Inuyasha mumbled, averting his eyes from his brother's stare. "You know, at the end of the year or something like that."
If he hadn't wanted to keep his stoic mask, Sesshomaru would have smiled, but he instead merely turned so that he was laying on his back. Amber eyes stared up at the roof, trying to decide if he should confirm Inuyasha's suspicions. It was a bit disconcerting to know that Inuyasha was intent on having pups with him, even if he had just agreed to give them to him.
"Yes." He decided it wouldn't hurt if the hanyou knew. "Being inukai, I will have a second heat cycle near the end of the year. At the start of the autumn months, to be more precise. However, it is more subdued. It is more to say that I could be impregnated and I will not actually go through the usual symptoms of heat. My mating cycle is at the start of spring and mated or not, I will need to be rutted. The other is not so intense, in fact, you may not even sense it."
"Huh." Inuyasha said, eyebrows raised in thought, before he was looking at his brother. "But you'd tell me, right?"
"Why is it that you are so insistent on impregnating me, otouto?" Sesshomaru asked, a suspicious glare thrown in Inuyasha's way as he turned to face him.
"I'll admit, I like the needy and affectionate side of you it brings out. The mood swings I could do without but pregnancy looks good on you. It's sexy."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Sexy!" The hanyou snapped as Sesshomaru merely gave him a blank stare. "I know it's weird, but I liked how you looked. I want to see you pregnant, again. This time I want it to be mine."
There was a long moment of silence, in which Sesshomaru merely watched as Inuyasha grumbled to himself with a blush on his face, before anything happened. Sesshomaru chuckled, and Inuyasha blinked up at him, before he was able to crack a smile of his own.
"You can laugh?" He asked, Sesshomaru only chuckling again, before he was moving forward to place a kiss on his mate's lips.
"Otouto, you do know that is your youki's work? A way of ensuring you continue the inu line."
"Yeah, I figured as much, but I still think it's hot."
Inuyasha pulled them together again so he could continue the kiss that had been stopped by Sesshomaru's explanation. What did he care what his youki was making sure of? He still wanted to see his mate's stomach swollen in pregnancy with his pup nestled within him.
He was moaning as they kissed, rolling them over so that he was atop Sesshomaru, who eagerly writhed beneath him. His older brother pulled away though, looking up at Inuyasha with a curious look, before he was smirking.
"I believe I explained that you can't impregnate me yet." He said, arching up into his mate as Inuyasha lowered to lick at his mating mark with a snort.
"Yeah, I know." His voice was low and sensual. "Doesn't mean I still don't want to fuck you."
"Inuyasha, stop being so crude and disgusting." The former demon lord was scolding, even as he was beginning to pant and harden, his hands pulling at Inuyasha's clothes to remove them. "You are not some blasted vagabond, you are royalty, such words are unbecoming of you."
"But you like my dirty talk, Sesshy-kun."
He cried out in pain as claws pinched at the skin on his back and he looked down to find fire glaring back at him.
"You will never call this Sesshomaru that degrading nickname ever again." The older of the two warned, and Inuyasha only laughed before raining kisses over his mate's face in apology.
"Yeah, yeah, I got it." The hanyou griped, shifting to his knees and dragging his mate with him so that he was straddling his lap. "Can we fuck already?"
"Inuyasha!"
The knock at the door interrupted them before anything could go any further, and the hanyou sighed before releasing his mate, who stood and quickly dressed himself. He did the same, redressing in his recently removed fire-rat robes, before dragging over to the door and sliding it open.
"Otousan, we're back!" Rin happily announced, before she was holding up a basket. "Look, we brought dinner from Kaede-baachan! She says you must be very hungry."
Inuyasha only sighed, before he was looking up to where Kagome stood. She had obviously walked the two young ones to the hut, and he was glad that she had. He had wanted to talk to her anyway.
"Can we come inside now?" Shippo was asking, his small tail flitting from side to side. "I want to see Chichiue. I wanted to come earlier, but Miroku said you needed privacy."
The little fox then stopped, his nose wrinkling before his hands were covering it and he scowled up at the dog-eared hanyou.
"What's that smell?" The kit asked, looking accusingly at Inuyasha. "It smells like mating season."
"Just shut up and get inside!" The inu-hanyou snapped, before stepping aside to let them in.
They obediently rushed in, Rin rushing to show Sesshomaru their dinner and Shippo checking in on his baby brother. With one last glance to them, Inuyasha was going down the few stairs and heading towards the miko who had been waiting patiently for him.
As soon as he was standing in front of her, she smiled and poked him in the chest before giving him a wink.
"Had a busy day?" She asked with a giggle, Inuyasha trying to hide his blush with his usual scoff.
"Ain't none of your business." He told her tucking his hands away.
"I see it worked." She began, Inuyasha looking back at her with a curious stare. "I was hoping that it would."
Inuyasha followed her gaze to where the beads should have rested around his neck, but they were no longer there. He had noticed during the course of their copious lovemaking, his beads had lost power and had fallen apart. He had figured the best person to come and get an answer from, was the one who put it there.
"Yeah, I've been meaning to ask you about that." He began, one hand reaching up to scratch at the back of his head. "So, what did you do?"
"Hmm, just a little trick." Kagome admitted with a shrug. "I was able to have a little chat with your youki when I put the charm back on the beads and I made him promise that he wouldn't harm Kazue in anyway. He agreed and I promised him the spell would break as soon as you two were mated, but only if he had been truthful in his own promise. The beads would have stayed on if he hadn't. I'm glad that it worked. I'm sorry I had to put them back on again."
"Nah, it's alright. I forgive you." Inuyasha said, before he was turning the subject to something else. "I guess you'd be leaving soon, huh? I mean you have to get back to your tests and everything."
Kagome smiled at him and only shook her head, hands resting atop her hips as she gave him her common stance of teen aged authority.
"Inuyasha, you should know me better than that." She gently scolded him. "I'm not leaving just yet, and even if I did, I'd be back. We've still got some jewel shards to collect and besides, I'm curious to see what the Western Palace is like."
Inuyasha could only blink in surprise at her, before his face was slowly taken by a smile, and Kagome returned it. She then bowed to him with a laugh, Inuyasha only rolling his eyes as she did so.
"My lord, for now I take my leave. I hope you have a peaceful evening with your new family."
Before she could leave, Inuyasha stepped forward to grab her in a hug, the miko stilling in shock at the action.
"Hey, you're my family, too." He reminded her, Kagome smiling at the confession. "Don't forget that."
"Otousan, your food is getting cold!" Came Rin's voice, beckoning him to come inside. "And Shippo will eat it if you don't come fast enough!"
"No I won't!" Came the fox's voice from inside.
"Go on." Kagome coaxed him, pushing him back toward the hut before she was heading off herself. "I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm sure you have a lot to discuss with the rest of us."
Inuyasha stood to watch her head off before he was turning back to the hut, climbing up the stairs and looking down to where Rin stood waving him in. With a sigh he scooped her up, the girl giggling as she was flung over his shoulder and then the hanyou was sliding the door closed.
"Alright, I say we eat the girl." He announced, Sesshomaru only rolling his eyes and Shippo making a disgusted face. "Girls taste way better than little boys any way."
"Otousan! You can't eat Rin. Chichiue won't allow it!"
"Oh yeah?"
Rin was laughing as she soon found herself caught in Inuyasha's arms as the hanyou pretended to make a meal of her. Their playing came to a stop as Sesshomaru sternly beckoned that they do so, and telling Rin that young ladies never played in such a manner.
Soon enough they were seated around the low table, Inuyasha at the head and Sesshomaru to his right as they sat around eating, the two adults listening to the children retell the events of their day.
As Shippo went on and on about how the children admired his swordsmanship, Rin added her own bits and pieces, and Inuyasha made comments here and there. Sesshomaru merely listened and kept an ear out for Kazue, who was luckily still asleep.
"Chichiue!" Rin called, gaining his attention and smiling up at him as he looked to her. "When are we going back home? Is Otousan and oni-chan coming with us?"
He glanced at Inuyasha quickly, the hanyou suddenly disgruntled before he was looking back to his young daughter with his usual blank expression.
"Soon, I would think." He answered her, knowing Inuyasha was looking to him as he continued eating his dinner. "As I know there is much to be done once we return."
"Enough yapping and let's eat!" Inuyasha announced, his annoyance well coated on his voice. "And then it's off to bed with you runts."
"But I'm not tired!" Shippo complained, earning himself a glare. "It's not fair."
"Will we get to stay with you and Otousan tomorrow?" Rin suddenly asked. "Rin would like that very much."
"Of course."
Inuyasha was choking on his food as Sesshomaru easily submitted to the young human girl, and he looked at his mate with a questioning look. What the hell was he doing?
"What do you mean of course?" He was asking, once he had cleared the grains of rice from his windpipe. "We've still got more making up to do."
"That can wait. The children-"
"Come first, yeah I got it." Inuyasha grumbled, his appetite lost so that he was now playing with his food instead.
As if he wasn't upset enough already, Kazue announced his need to be changed and tended to, and Inuyasha sulked more as he watched his mate stride past him to the wailing child. If this was what his life was going to be like, he was beginning to have second thoughts on impregnating his brother again.
"Huh? Otousan, you have a mark on your neck!" Shippo announced pointing at the obvious hickey and Inuyasha growled before knocking him on his head.
"Oi, mind your own business, brat!"
"Wah! Chichiue, he's being mean!"
As Inuyasha began a bickering match with Shippo, Sesshomaru only sighed and hoped the headache looming in the background wouldn't be too harsh. He looked down to his son, who was now occupied with chewing on a lock of his hair as he was being changed.
"I can only hope you turn out far better than this." He said, Kazue only smiling up at him with a show of gums, before his small hands were tugging painfully on his hair.
Well, he was still hopeful. There were many years before Kazue reached Inuyasha's age, and he'd make sure that he was rarely subjected the hanyou's influence.
xoxoxoxox
Naraku openly studied the guest that Kagura had brought before him, the snake demon gracefully and silently drinking the tea that had been offered to her. She had yet to announce why she had asked to be brought before him and Kagura had gone off as soon as she had announced that he had a visitor.
He thought nothing of it, and just assumed that this was another demon that had come to try and challenge his jewel shards away. His eyes shifted to the boy that stood waiting patiently, eyes blank and hands holding the serving tray and pot of tea, awaiting any other orders. He had long not had a reason to put the young demon slayer to any more use than as another servant, and he was upset to know that it would probably be that way for some time.
"Lord Naraku."
The title with which she used had him looking up at the newcomer, and he waited patiently for her to continue, watching as she gently rested her cup down once she'd drained it.
He felt his heart sink as her yellow-slitted eyes looked up to glare at him, and he couldn't help but smile. This woman was swarming with ill intent, and he was eager to know just who it was directed to. He had heard that Prince Yoshimaru had perished, he wondered if she had any connection to him. She did seem to be of royal decent, if her robes and hairstyle were anything to go by.
"So, you know my name." He began, fingers tracing over the bandage that now covered his gaping socket. "Perhaps, you can give me yours?"
"How rude of me." She hissed, her tongue flitting out for a moment. "I am Princess Sakuya of the Southern tribes. I have happened upon misfortune in these recent weeks. My groom has perished, killed unmercifully in a battle of lust I'm told, by none other than an hanyou. Can you imagine?"
"How tragic." Came his dry reply, his fingers snapping to beckon the young slayer forward.
He watched as Kohaku came forward to pour his tea, waving him away when the cup was full and focusing back on the hebi-youkai in front of him.
"Yes, tragic indeed." The woman went on, before she lifted her cup to summon the servant boy to her again. "It is not uncommon that snake demons take more than one mate, for he was not to be my first, but my seventh."
Naraku raised a curious brow at that, before he was taking a sip of his tea and grimacing as he realized he hated tea. He would rather go for some sake. He stomached it, even though every sip he took caused his anger to rise unnecessarily.
"I hear tale he had come across a familiar Lord of the West, who I'm now learning is nothing more than a breeding bitch holding claim to a rank that he does not deserve!"
She had spat the words and with them had literally spat, venom now corroding the wooden table that they were sitting at. His intrigue increased somewhat, even though the mention of his lost mate-to-be held a bitter taste on his tongue.
"You seem upset." He simply said, his tone bored to hide his obvious interest.
"I am more than upset!" She belted out, her delicate hands tightening around the ceramic cup until it shattered in her grasp. "I am furious, livid, impassioned by rage! With my betrothed dead, his carcass strewn about a dank and dark tomb, I have lost my chance as ruling Lady of the South! I will have the head of his murderer, this hanyou. I will squeeze the very life from him and swallow him within me. And then I will enslave his mate and kill his offspring one by one should he have any. You will tell me his name as I know that he has also made himself an enemy to you!"
Naraku felt his own hand tighten about his cup as he was reminded that Inuyasha and his brother had mated. Official word had not reached him, but he had already assumed. The confirmation had him stewing with anger, but that was nothing compared to the indirect threat that the hebi had just placed upon his child's head. The only one worthy of bringing death to his offspring was himself. She would have to pay dearly for that, but in due time. For now, he would play her game.
"Ah, you mean Inuyasha?" He questioned her, watching her stiffen and her eyes widen in shock.
"The second born of the Inu no Taisho?" She obviously had not been given the news. "He has taken his own brother? That wretched half-breed now holds the title to the territories of the West? That's absurd! There's no way that wretched creature could have overcome my chosen!"
"You underestimate him." Naraku calmly stated, sipping at his tasteless tea. Mind controlled drones did not make tea well. He'd make a note to never have Kohaku prepare it again. "Then again, mating season does give one the sufficient amount of power to overcome challenging males. Your mate had no right to try his hand at another with such a wonderful creature as yourself waiting in the wings."
"Flattery will get you no where, Naraku." She warned him, shaking her hand to free it of clinging shards and splattering tea on what was left of the table. "My mate had more than one to slate his lust, I would be a fool to prevent him from trying for another, even if I do hold a certain distaste for the inu breed."
Naraku's little toy was holding out a handkerchief for her and she took it with a sneer, shooing the boy further away from her. She wiped her hands clean, before flinging the cloth onto the table, and then her eyes were narrowing on Naraku again, who politely waited for her to begin again.
"That would bring me to explain my purpose in holding your company." She started, her hands folding atop her knees. "You have crossed paths with this Inuyasha once before I am certain."
"More than once, I can assure you." Naraku corrected, resting his empty cup down. This was starting to annoy him. He hated having to act proper and civilized. All these formalities and etiquette was driving him insane. "He is a worthy opponent, if not a constant thorn in my side. I would rid the earth of his presence if I had the proper chance. I have not been given the right opportunity."
"Perhaps I can offer my assistance." Sakuya began, her eyes connecting with his lone red orb.
The fact that she stared at him directly had Naraku wanting to squirm, but being the person he was, he would never allow his enemies to see him uncomfortable. It translated to weakness and he was not weak.
His empty socket burned and he grit his teeth, jaw tensing and lone fist clenching as he remembered how he had received those injuries.
"I would not be able to accept your offer, Princess Sakuya." He refused her, not wanting to have anything further to do with her. "A common enemy we may share, but your goals are not shared with mine. I have much to be done, and already I've let time slip by, indulging you with these precious moments of which I have quite few. If you'd be so kind as to excuse me, Kohaku will show you the way out."
He stood without further notice, the demon-slayer bowing as he rushed past, ready to leave behind the bruising hebi and returning to brooding and plotting in his chambers. He was stopped short by the loud hiss and then the half-transformed body that was blocking his way. The princess glared down at him, fangs bared and dripping venom, before her forked tongue slipped out to slowly trace over her drawn lips. It retreated back into her mouth, which she closed and she seemed almost embarrassed at her behavior.
Naraku merely watched, a bored expression plastered on his face, and he yawned to get his point across. This pampered twit was getting on his last nerves.
"I insist, Lord Naraku, that you think more on my offer." She began, her body transforming so that she had legs again. "To refuse me would mean to place yourself as my enemy, and that would be quite a shame, as I view you as my equal and would rather you be an ally."
Naraku was able to stop himself from snorting, knowing that the princess was already marked for death in his mind, and he found it quite amusing she saw them as equals. True, snakes were known for their ruthless revenge, but spiders were sneaky and far more cunning. Her wits would be no match for his.
"Convince me, your highness." He began, his eye catching hers and demanding proof of her loyalty now. "What have you to offer in return of my assistance."
Sakuya began to chuckle, before her hands were pulling out a square of silk, tied into a bundle with a ribbon. He knew what it was before she had revealed it to him, and his hand twitched to reach out for it as the pink shard began to shine as it was brought out into the open.
"I know this is what you send your woman out for." She easily said, her voice holding an air of arrogance that Naraku felt he had every right to rid her of. "If you offer your alliance to me, you receive this shard, which I have stolen from my own father no doubt."
Naraku had never known that a snake demon held a jewel shard, and this one was quite a large piece, nearly the size of a quarter of the entire gem. He looked to her suspiciously, not believing her for the moment. How would she have managed to have her father part with such a large shard?
"And how did you happen upon that little trinket?" He questioned, wanting to hold it in his hand.
Sakuya humphed, a proud smile taking her lips as she held the jewel shard up so that they could both better observe it.
"My father stole others from demons who had once owned them and those shards merged into one." She began, looking back to Naraku. "He had planned on using it to overcome the current lord, his brother and my uncle, father to my late betrothed. He thought he'd be blessed with a great wisdom so he implanted it into his head. I told him of my plight and when I asked for it, he refused. He said the only way that any one would get hold of this shard would be to cut off his head."
Her hand quickly closed around the jewel and she was looking back to Naraku with a scowl that clearly told him what she had done. She need not further explain herself. She was an admirable specimen, indeed. Fine then, he'd let her tag along.
"You've intrigued me, princess." He said smoothly, his smile reflected once he had said the words. "I now wish to know how you plan to extract revenge upon our enemy."
"I have your word that you will aid me?" She wanted to make sure.
Naraku placed his lone hand over his heart, his one eye connecting with hers as he spoke the words.
"I freely give you my life should I betray you, princess."
The shard was thrown at him, which a tentacle easily caught before he was grunting as he thrust it deep within his right shoulder. He could only laugh as he felt his stolen appendage begin to reform, and soon enough he was able to watch as the fingers of his right hand twitched.
His eye was still gone, but the jewel that Kagura collected would most likely help with that. He had regained far more than he needed.
"Come, my lady." He beckoned to the hebi-youkai, his restored arm held out for her, which she gladly accepted. "You must tell me this magnificent plan of yours."
The two headed out of the tea room and into the shadowed hallway, where they passed both the usually quiet Kana and the suspiciously glaring Kagura. The wind sorceress had been on her way to give Naraku the shard she had managed to get a hold of, but it would seem that it was to wait.
"War is being threatened by my clan to the kingdom in the west." She heard the snake princess softly saying, her ears perking up a bit to try and catch as much as she could. "I will strike under the guise of peace, that is of course, after convincing my uncle."
"Lord Tsuwamono is quite stubborn. How do you plan to convince him?"
"You let me worry about my uncle."
Kagura's eyes narrowed, before she was pulling Kana away, the girl easily doing as was bid with her usual blank stare. This was becoming risky by the second, but she was excited. She had a feeling that Naraku was headed for his personal chambers, and she had every intention of getting there first to find a good spot.
"Come, Kana. We have some snooping to do."
The two passed by Kohaku, the demon slayer titling his head in an inquisitive fashion, and Kagura only snarled at him. She wished the master would do away with this one already, but he kept him around for some reason. Ignoring him, the two left, their destination set. It would be nice to know just what that vicious cobra had up her sleeve.

Morning broke to the sound of a baby's wailing, a fox's whining and a girl's insistent questions. Inuyasha tried his best to ignore it all by rolling over and pulling the coverings tighter about him. It didn't work at all. The crying got louder, the questions kept coming and Shippo was still whining. With a growl he threw his sheets off and stood to face the source of noise. His mouth was open and ready to shout that they all shut up already, but he was silenced with the pleading look his mate threw at him.
Sesshomaru held Kazue in his arms, the baby refusing to suckling and yet obviously not wet, and he was walking back and forth. Shippo was seated at the table, scrolls and ink set out before him and whining that he didn't think it fair he had to learn to read and write. Rin was marching back and forth after her Chichiue, trying her best to get answers to her random questions, all the while holding her doll in a mocking gesture of how the inu was holding the baby.
Inuyasha wanted to scream, but he instead took a deep breath and headed over to his mate's rescue. He grabbed Rin up, one hand clamping over her mouth before the girl could know what hit her, and then he deposited her next to Shippo.
The fox he boxed on the head, Shippo's whining getting worse until he was threatened with another bop on his head. He quickly shut his mouth with a sniffle and followed orders to continue his work or no breakfast.
Rin's questions were stopped with the task that Inuyasha assigned her to draw him a picture, depositing empty paper and some ink in front of her. The girl set to it, tongue sticking out the side of her mouth as she concentrated on her artwork.
Last but not least, Inuyasha went to Sesshomaru, whose cool seemed to have shattered for the moment, if the disgruntled and tired look on his face was anything to go by. Kazue was still wailing, and Inuyasha merely reached out, taking the infant from his mate's arms. The inukai was still hesitant to hand his son over, but reluctantly did so, his body sagging in exhaustion as the baby was taken from him.
"Is this what I'll have to wake up to every morning?" The hanyou loudly questioned, trying to soothe Kazue by holding him up right and gently bouncing him.
Sesshomaru would have tried to smile, if his headache wasn't threatening to crack his skull in half. He had no idea why Kazue was crying. He had thought the boy was hungry, but he had only fed for a few moments before pulling away and crying. He had changed him, twice, so it couldn't be that and he had already burped him. He was at his rope's end, having gotten little sleep last night between Kazue needing his attention, Inuyasha's snoring and Shippo kicking in his sleep. Rin luckily enough was a quiet sleeper, but she was a bed wetter and that had to be taken care of early this morning as well.
As his mate continued to try and soothe his son, Sesshomaru let his hand try and soothe his aching head. Had he known that he would have to deal with this, he would have taken more time in deciding to have Kazue.
Meaning you would have killed him in your womb.
'I would have had another.' He said in his defense, already feeling guilty at the thought. 'Just when I was ready. I could have used more time.'
"Inuyasha, give him back to me." He suddenly said, just wanting the boy to stop crying. "You're making it worse."
"I am not!" The hanyou snapped, groaning as the baby cried louder at his raised voice. "Come on, Kazue. Just be a good baby and quit crying already."
Not having the patience, Sesshomaru marched over and gently eased his son back in his arms, having no other choice but to try and feed him again. Luckily enough, the baby latched on to his breast easily enough and he nearly cried in relief.
"Well, why didn't you try that in the first place?" Inuyasha asked him and received a glare in response.
"I did." Sesshomaru answered him, feeling as if he could go back to sleep. He was jerking as pain bit into the nipple Kazue was attached to, the baby releasing and then beginning to cry again.
"Aw, man, he was just quiet!" The hanyou complained, but was thoroughly ignored.
Sesshomaru gently felt his son's gums and was quite shocked to feel the small canines already growing in. That would explain the crying; Kazue was teething. It was a bit early, as he had not expected this to happen for another couple of days. Now that his child was growing teeth, it meant it was time to start weaning him.
"Inuyasha." He called for his mate's attention, the hanyou looking to him with an annoyed look. "Kazue is teething. He needs to chew."
"Well what am I supposed to do about it?" Inuyasha asked him with a snort. "I'm not exactly great chewing material. Though you did seem to think so just yesterday."
Shippo raised his head and blinked up at the two, observing Sesshomaru turning red as his eyes narrowed. "Chichiue, you chew on Otousan?"
"Back to work." Sesshomaru ordered gently, before he was glaring at Inuyasha. "And you, not around the children."
"Not like they knew what I meant." The hanyou grumbled, scratching at his head before looking back to the still crying baby. "So, what am I supposed to do?"
"Hunt." Came the simple answer.
"Hunt?" Inuyasha questioned, a bit confused.
"Hunt." Was the confirmation and then Sesshomaru was successfully feeding his son again.
Inuyasha sighed before he was grabbing up Tetsusaiga and heading for the door. He turned back to try and get a final word in, but Kazue had started up again and he was willing to escape the shrill noise. With a growl of frustration he left the hut and was leaping off in search of some sort of prey, something small enough to appease the newest Western prince.
Inuyasha didn't wait, and he pounced on the poor, unsuspecting squirrel before it knew what hit it. With his captured prey in hand, he was heading back to the crowded and loud household that he was currently residing in. It almost was enough to make him turn around and go have some free time, but it wouldn't be fair to leave his mate alone to deal with everything on his own.
He took a deep breath as he landed back on the porch, before sliding open the door and was greeted with what he left behind. Only now, Shippo was crying as well, and Rin was the one whining. Sesshomaru knelt by Kazue's basket, gently rocking it as the pup tried its best to deafen those around him with his crying.
With a growl he stomped inside, his angered aura enough to cause the two older children to fall silent and Sesshomaru to look up as he came closer.
"Here, it's the kid's breakfast." Was all he said as he handed off the carcass of the squirrel before he was grabbing up Rin under one arm and Shippo under the other.
"What are doing?" His mate was demanding, his voice holding a tone of warning and worry.
Inuyasha easily ignored it and started out, Shippo still hiccuping and Rin whining that she didn't want to leave her Chichiue.
"We need a break." He called back as he left.
Then he was gone and leaping off with two wriggling children. He landed at Kaede's hut, where he burst in unannounced, his group of friends blinking up in surprise. Kaede sighed as she looked to his two burdens, and she merely nodded her consent before Inuyasha was dumping a child in the nearest available laps.
"I'll be back after noon." He told them before leaping off.
Kagome looked down at the sniffling fox in her lap, before she was stroking the auburn hair and digging in her back for a candy bar.
"How about you finish this and then you tell me what you've been crying about?"
Shippo nodded and took the candy, unwrapping it and slowly beginning to eat it.
"May Rin have one to?" The girl sniffled, rubbing the tears from her eyes. She had wanted to spend the day with her Chichiue, but it would seem Otousan was mad with her.
Kagome smiled at the child, who sat in Sango's lap, before producing more candy to give the young girl. Well, it would seem that they were stuck with babysitting duty, again.
"Perhaps we can spend a day down by the pond?" Miroku suggested, the two children brightening quickly. "And then you two can ride Kirara."
The little fire cat mewed curiously, blinking up at the monk with feline inquisitiveness. She was only offered a smile by the houshi, before he was petting her head reassuringly.
"Have ye children eaten?" Kaede questioned, both Rin and Shippo turning to face her with mouths full of candy. "Come, ye must eat properly. I will prepare you some food before you head out and some you can take with you."
"May Rin help?" The girl asked through her mouthful and Kaede chuckled softly.
"Yes, ye may. Come Shippo, ye can help as well."
The little fox bounced off after Rin, who was following Kaede as the old woman moved off to gather ingredients.
"Well, what do you suppose our two lovebirds will be up to today?" Miroku asked, Sango and Kagome giggling.
"Knowing those two, exactly what they were up to yesterday." Sango put in, before they were all giggling amongst themselves.
xoxoxoxox
Contrary to what the others thought, Inuyasha had returned to find Sesshomaru feeding small pieces of pre-chewed meat to Kazue, who happily and eagerly accepted every bit he was given. When he was full he was burped and rocked to sleep by Inuyasha, and then before the two could think of anything else, they were out cold for a good part of the morning.
The first to wake was Inuyasha, the hanyou not fighting the huge yawn as he stretched where he lay. Sesshomaru was still asleep, lightly snoring and half his body draped over his younger brother. Inuyasha sighed, his left arm pulling his mate closer as he quickly glanced over to where his nephew lay. The boy was up and surprisingly enough, he was occupied with cooing and trying to bring his own foot close enough so that he could chew on it.
The sight brought a smile to his face, before his eyes were drifting closed again, ready to return to sleep. It would seem that he would have no such luck, as he distinctly heard the sound of someone clearing their throat. He groaned and peeled his eyes open again.
"What is it now, jiji?"
His eyes were crossing to look at the flea that landed on his nose, Myoga looking down at him with a frown.
"My lord, I have news concerning the current state of your lands." The flea began, his hands folding into his sleeves. "It would seem that the Southern Clans have started a band of troops that is now heading West. They are moving at a fast pace, and would reach the palace gates in a week, maybe less. It would be best if you and Prince Sesshomaru would return to the palace at once."
Inuyasha groaned again, flicking the flea away and wanting to get back to sleep, but it would seem he would have to postpone his rest for another time. Sesshomaru had been woken by their conversation, and the older youkai was now looking up at his mate, his face a stone mask that he usually wore.
"Inuyasha. What state has my palace been brought to by my absence?"
"Don't worry about it." Inuyasha simply told him, trying to coax him to falling asleep again. "I'll take care of it."
"Inuyasha."
The hanyou sighed, before he was sitting up, Sesshomaru doing the same and Myoga jumping up on to the elder brother's shoulder.
"I'm afraid that I have some dire news, my prince."
The nod that he was granted was enough to get him started, and while Inuyasha sat and grumbled to himself, the retainer relayed all that he had revealed to the hanyou to Sesshomaru. When he was done, the previous Daiyoukai was silent, his mind carefully going over everything he had been told.
He was watching as Inuyasha stood from the bedroll, bending to retrieve a still gurgling Kazue before bidding Sesshomaru join him with a nod of his head. The silver-haired youkai easily stood, dressing himself in a matching set of haori and hakama, before reaching out for his pup. Inuyasha handed him over, and gently rested his arm around his mate's waist to guide him outside.
"We'll get back to you soon, jiji." He called back before the flea could follow. "Just make sure we aren't disturbed, and let me know if you get any new updates."
Myoga bowed respectfully and was hopping off in a different direction as his lord and his mate.
Inuyasha guided his older brother to a spring, well away from the village, and without much coaxing Sesshomaru was soon undressed and relaxing in its warm waters. Kazue was in his arms still, the baby cooing and occupied with gnawing on a small bone from the animal sacrificed as his breakfast. Inuyasha sat still dressed on the edge of the pool, his amber eyes studying his mate that had yet to say a word.
He had to wonder what Sesshomaru could be thinking, but from the troubled look in golden eyes, he was beginning to think that it wasn't good. Damn it, why did Myoga have to show up and open his big mouth anyway? He would have taken care of it, eventually. He didn't want Sesshomaru worrying over anything. It wasn't his place to contemplate those things anymore, that was Inuyasha's job, and he would have taken care of it. . . when he was ready.
Which he wasn't, he had realized, and would have put it off for as long as he was able to. He would rather just get return to his life of traveling the countryside collecting jewel shards than deal with political messes.
As Sesshomaru gently bathed the young demon, who was grown enough to start sitting up with some help, Inuyasha figured it was best that they talk. The problems back west wouldn't disappear, and he was sure that his older brother would have a better idea of how to deal with all of this.
Undressing, he gently slipped into the warm waters before wading over to his mate, who seemed intently focused on his son's back. He let his eyes follow his lover's gaze, and Inuyasha paused in his steps at the sight of the birthmark.
'Oh boy.' Was all he thought before he was moving closer.
He gently cupped Sesshomaru's cheeks, turning the impassive face to his so that he could kiss pouting lips. It worked in distracting the first born, who eagerly kissed back as if he had been waiting for Inuyasha to approach him.
The hanyou pulled back slowly, his eyes looking back at his brother's face, to find that Sesshomaru had hidden away his true feelings behind his usual mask again.
"What are you thinking about?" He decided to ask, nuzzling his mate's cheek while gently stroking his hair.
"What else would I be thinking about?" Sesshomaru replied, though he pressed closer into the dominant male nuzzling against him. "Those decrepit old bastards had their claws set on my title long before they knew of my status as a breeding male. Had I stayed in the palace as I had originally wanted to do, I would have been carrying one of their offspring and watching as they destroyed our father's kingdom."
Inuyasha was silently shocked by the inadvertent admittance by his older brother that they shared the same blood. All his life he had known Sesshomaru to renounce him, and to hear him finally accepting and even saying it himself, well, it was a bit much. He'd keep his mouth closed for the moment though, and let Sesshomaru continue on.
"It's obvious they are unaware that I am already mated, and no doubt they are individually scheming on how to gain my affection upon my return." He looked to Inuyasha then, the hanyou looking back at him. "You'll have to prove you are now Daiyoukai as I'm sure your authority would be challenged. I have no doubt that you will easily overcome any who step forward, but it shall be a nuisance all the same."
"Feh! As if I'm scared of some old bastards and their egos." Inuyasha scoffed, his nuzzling traveling further down to where his mating mark rested. He couldn't resist licking at it and smiled as Sesshomaru shivered and arched up, a gasp escaping his lips.
"Inuyasha." It was obviously a warning and the hanyou reluctantly moved on.
The rest of Sesshomaru's body was blocked off by the happily chewing baby in his lap, and Inuyasha hesitated a moment before he was sniffing at Kazue's hair. The boy smelled like Sesshomaru and was beginning to smell of him as well. Of course, the boy's own scent was beginning to develop, but it was mostly of the two older demons who were handling him.
He could hear his youki growling, but it easily fell silent as the scent they were searching for was no where to be found. It may have been Naraku's offspring, but Inuyasha couldn't detect the spider-hanyou anywhere on the pup. He grunted in satisfaction, his youki echoing his feelings, before he was licking at the black tufts of hair and over the boy's face. With one last nuzzle to Kazue's cheek, he was sitting back again, ready to relax in the hot spring and soak his cares away.
He only managed to do that for a few moments, as he found himself soon straddled by a red-eyed youkai, his mouth unable to object. That is, if he had wanted to object in the first place. He had no problem with his mate now occupying his lap, naked, demanding, and wanton. He wanted to ask what the change of heart was for, but was holding his tongue as Sesshomaru's thigh brushed against his mating mark.
He was erect in an instant and groaning as his length brushed against his mate's, the two moaning and whining together as they began to frantically grind against the other.
"Sessh." Was all he could pant out, as he was finally given time to speak as the older youkai arched his neck back to offer it to him. "Where's the baby?"
"My pup is safe." Came the reassuring words. "Don't stop now, keep going."
Inuyasha could only stare up in wonder at the youki-infused inu, who lifted so that he could position himself over Inuyasha's straining shaft. The hanyou was almost afraid something would stop them again, so he glanced about the grounds surrounding the hot spring. He found no one, save Kazue in a quickly strewn together nest of their clothing. The boy was happily gnawing away at his latest chew toy and occupied with his task of easing the pain in his teeth.
With a final look, just to be really sure they were alone, his hands eagerly grabbed hold of his mate's hips, before carefully lowering Sesshomaru onto his cock. His brother was arching back, crying out as he was penetrated and easily driving his hips down so that Inuyasha went deeper until he was completely filled.
"My mate."
At the youki's voice, Sesshomaru looked down at the fully formed youkai, leaning forward so that his hands were resting on the rock surface behind his mate. With its leverage he began to lift himself, the Daiyoukai growling and clamping his hands tighter onto moving hips.
As the submissive of the two started a steady pace of riding his mate's cock, Inuyasha took to placing worshiping kisses across the torso in front of him. His tongue traced a path over Sesshomaru's chest and up until he was at that familiar juncture of shoulder and neck, toying with the scarred mark of the crescent moon. He hissed, before chuckling, enjoying the feeling of Sesshomaru clamping tighter around him.
"This body is only mine."The Daiyoukai groaned out, his hands helping the body move up and down, his hips beginning to piston so that he thrust up with every downward motion of Sesshomaru's hips. "You are my mate, only I shall have you."
The inu-youkai was panting and whining, claws scratching grooves in the rock he was clinging to as his body was moved for him. He objected for a moment as Inuyasha withdrew, and then he was lifted and turned so that he was seated on the rock bed of the spring. As he was grabbed by his thighs and his legs gently pulled apart, he leaned back on his hands, welcoming his alpha to enter him again.
His yelp was a mixture of shock and pleasure as Inuyasha rammed into his prostate, his head flinging back as his body was rocked with the force of the thrusts. Thank goodness the rock bed was smooth or he'd probably have quite some damage to his ass after this.
"You will have no other!"Inuyasha was growling, hips pistoning faster and hands gripping at smooth thighs. "My seed is the only seed your body will accept!"
Sesshomaru was crying out as he came without even having to be touched, his body shuddering in complete bliss and Inuyasha was roaring as he followed him. Burying himself deep one last time, his teeth found his mark and clamped down, while Sesshomaru wound his arms about him so that he could cling to him.
As they slowly rode out the remainder of their dwindling orgasm, Inuyasha released his mate with a apologetic kiss to the resealing mark. Then he was traveling to the elf-like ears, nuzzling it gently before whispering, "Your body will only bear my pups. Promise me this, as I promise you that I am yours."
Sesshomaru was still panting, and one arm unwound from where it wrapped around Inuyasha's shoulders, lowering so that he could brush his thumb over his own mating make. Inuyasha moaned as a shiver ran down his spine at that, before he was tasting that mouth he had fallen in love with. When he released his lover, Sesshomaru was soon giving a slow and sensual lick to his jaw, youki still in control.
"I promise you all of me, body and soul."
"As it should be." Inuyasha said with smile. "I promise you the same."
In an instant the two brothers were back to themselves, slumping against each other in a most wonderful exhaustion. Whatever they had just done, it was most satisfying, if not ridiculously tiring.
"We've got to do that again." Inuyasha laughed, his grin threatening to split his face in two.
Sesshomaru could do nothing but chuckle and nod in agreement, before he was sighing as Kazue began fussing.
"Nothing can last for us, can it?" The hanyou was grumbling.
With one last nuzzle, Sesshomaru was pulling away, wincing a bit as Inuyasha slipped free and then he was headed in his pup's direction. Inuyasha watched him, before slipping deeper into the warm water and leaning back, ready to take that nap he deserved.
"Inuyasha."
The pleading call of his name was accompanied by Kazue beginning to cry and he only sighed before pulling himself up out of the water and shaking free most of it.
"Yeah, I know, I'm going, I'm going." He muttered, grabbing up his clothes and quickly dressing. "I'll bring enough for all three of us."
His brother only nodded and he figured it was fine, before leaping off into the surrounding forest. He'd linger in it just a bit, as he knew it may be quite a while before he returned to it. He had come to a decision that tomorrow they would begin packing up and the day after that they'd start on their way to the West.
