Days 50-59
“Sesshomaru.”
“Sesshomaru!!”
“SESSHOMARU!!!”
The requested demon sprinted to his sibling’s side. His hair was out of place from his rush to get to his brother.
“What is it, Inuyasha?”
“I---------I----------I don’t know!!!!” and suddenly the Inuhanyou started crying. Inuyasha had a lost look on his face and had been standing alone in the middle of the room when Sesshomaru entered.
Sesshomaru’s eyes opened wide. ‘What just happened here?   I was just here five minutes ago. I dressed and went to the study. What could have happened in the last five minute?’ Sesshomaru franticly scanned the room for anything out of place as he wrapped his arms around Inuyasha and secured him to his chest.
Captain Kenichi ran, gasping for air around the corner at his fastest. He was followed closely by three of the castle guards. Surveying the area rapidly and assuring there was no imminent danger, they stood respectfully just outside the master bedroom.   Kenichi knew Sesshomaru was aware of their presence but he spoke. “How can we help, my Lords?”
Sesshomaru was holding a hysterically weeping hanyou. His commands were strong and calm.
“Send one of the men for the healer and the other two to guard this entire floor. Kenichi stay with us.”
The guards saluted smartly and were off on their respective duties.
“Come in and shut the door,” Sesshomaru called to Kenichi as he worked Inuyasha over to the bed and knelt in front of him.
“Certainly, my Lord.”
Kenichi entered the chambers and shut the door carefully behind him. Turning he saw the crumpled, crying body of his oldest friend. Sesshomaru rose and looked down at Inuyasha.
“Inuyasha, I think it’s time we told someone. I think that you’re having trouble because you can’t share this with anyone.   Kenichi is trust worthy and I can tell you by smell he is the real Kenichi.”
Inuyasha sucked in a deep breath and tried to stop crying. As he got his emotions under control, Sesshomaru went to the drawer nearest their bed and removed the tiny folded garment and gave it to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha fingered the small package of cloth fondly and then opening it raised his watery orbs to his friend. Sesshomaru had stepped behind him and had a hand on his shoulder for support.
“Kenichi,   I’m pregnant.”
The blood hound’s face was initially blank but a smile started at his lips and spread over his entire face ending with sparkling moist eyes. In a millisecond he realized he was right. His lords had had been hiding something. Then he felt happy that he was the one with whom they shared it. Then it sunk it what it was that Inuyasha shared.
“Really?” he whispered, afraid he would break the magic of the moment.
“Really,” the brothers replied together and then looked at each other. Relief covered Inuyasha’s face.
Kenichi approached slowly. His voice remained soft and calm. “Kami has granted this blessing. What a miracle!”
Inuyasha grabbed his hand and moved it toward his lower abdomen. “She’s super small right now but Jinenji thinks we’ll be able to feel her moving around the fourth month.” A faint smile appeared on Inuyasha’s face as he recalled the healer telling him about the baby’s growth.
Kenichi looked to Sesshomaru for permission to touch his mate. The dog demon nodded. Kenichi touched the tightened flesh of his oldest friend. Then he sat back on his heels at his lords’ feet.
Inuyasha’s tears were gone mostly. Instead he was glowing. Joy and happiness radiated off the inuhanyou like he was a star in the night sky.
“Do you feel better now, my love?” Sesshomaru purred, his hand massaging the shoulder he was supporting.
“Umm hnnn,” mumbled Inuyasha. “How did you know? I mean I didn’t know.” Inuyasha turned his golden orbs upward to take in his brother, a confused yet cute look on his face, his puppy ears twitching.
“I suspected. That’s all.   Such wonderful news needs to be shared but these circumstances hinder it. I am also happy about it, Inuyasha.   I want to scream it to the world, but for now let’s just share it with Kenichi, Jinenji and Nana, ok?” Sesshomaru lowered to look at Inuyasha eye to eye, his hands clasping his lover’s.
Inuyasha nodded shaking a few more tears lose with each head movement.
Kenichi remained in seiza throughout their exchange.
There was a knock on the door a moment later and Jinenji rushed in breathless and anxious.
“Inuyasha! Is she ok?   Are you ok?” Then looking to Lord Sesshomaru, he bowed.   “Lord Sesshomaru, forgive me.   Are you ok?”
“Nothing to forgive, Jinenji. Your first concern should always be my princess and my mate.” Sesshomaru beamed unselfishly.   “Come Gentlemen. Sit in our sitting area. I would like to make sure my mate is comfortable.”
The four moved to the sitting area and Inuyasha filled Jinenji in on the emotional outbreak.
“Nana said that pregnant folks have roller coaster emotions. It’s because you have two sets of hormones flowing around in your system. It’s ok, Inuyasha. We’ll get through this together with Nana’s help. It’s still a secret though. Don’t want the shape shifter to know.”
The men talked for a while longer each sharing observations with each other.
When Jinenji and Kenichi left Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru. “I was worried about what Kenichi would think of me---stupid, I know.   Am I less of a man?”
“I think you are more of a man than ever, brother.   You are paving a path where few have gone before. You are brave, courageous, beautiful, amazing, and strong. I am again standing in your shadow. Just about the time I think we are on equal standing you soar past me again. Let me worship your body.”
Sesshomaru leaned in and started placing kisses over his mate’s face and neck trailing toward his mate’s chest.
“Don’t let me stop you,” the hanyou teased as he untied their clothing.
Stepping forward, forcing Sesshomaru upright, Inuyasha placed his hands on his brother’s shoulders, gently massaging them. Starting at Sesshomaru’s ear, Inuyasha kissed down his lover’s neck, lips nipping all the while. Sesshomaru, taking the only skin available to him, nibbled on Inuyasha’s lobe. Inuyasha took the opportunity to slide his hands to Sesshomaru’s ass, grasp it as if it were the very air he breathed.
“Aaah! Kami! Sesshomaru!”
“My love,” moaned the lord lover, his lips were traveling the continent of Inuyasha’s skin. “We were made for each other.” Sesshomaru whispered. He forced Inuyasha’s lips to his own. Pouncing on his lips, Sesshomaru’s tongue mapped the contours of Inuyasha’s lips and teeth.
Inuyasha responded in kind. Their tongues caressed and pirouetted in a slow intimate dance. Their bodies molded into each other, moving as one and fusing as their passion mounted.
The kiss broke when Inuyasha needed air. Panting, he moaned, “I love you.”
Sesshomaru smiled, turning his mate around, keeping skin contact until his chest covered Inuyasha’s back. Lips moved along the hanyou’s shoulder as Sesshomaru’s left forearm and hand moved the heavy mane of hair off Inuyasha’s back. The movement finished when his left arm reached over the hanyou’s left shoulder.
Inuyasha leaned back into Sesshomaru’s touch, skin on fire with pleasure.   Sliding his left hand down further, Sesshomaru caressed his lover breast. Inuyasha, panting and moaning in pleasure, gripped Sesshomaru’s hand. Sesshomaru’s right hand moved down the right side of his lover and made light patterns on the skin over his hips. Fingers, slowly moving from hip down the inguinal crease through the white curls, appeared to have a mind of their own as they massaged Inuyasha’s mons pubes.

Inuyasha thrust his hips forward attempting to get Sesshomaru to touch his dick but the tease continued. As Sesshomaru lovingly caressed Inuyasha’s skin his rod hardened and slid between the pillows of butt muscle.   The precum left a trail on his lover’s skin.   Inuyasha pushed back into Sesshomaru creating even more friction.   He lowered his hand to touch his hard and dripping dick. He pumped himself in time with Sesshomaru.   The sexual pressure mounted.
Sesshomaru tilted his pelvis and changed the angle of his rod. This time when he moved forward it teased Inuyasha’s rim.   Inuyasha felt the nudge and dropped his rod and bent forward at the waist. He grabbed his own cheeks and pulled them apart. This time when Sesshomaru moved forward the rim was open and ready to receive him. Sesshomaru’s dick entered slowly and gradually while Inuyasha slowly straightened. When he ground in to the physical limits Sesshomaru leaned protectively over Inuyasha resting his chin on the hanyou’s right shoulder.   Inuyasha turned to his right and angled his lips to connect with his lover’s.
Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around Inuyasha embracing him and holding him tight to his chest.   Inuyasha’s hand curled around that embrace and the lovers kissed.   The inuhanyou was relaxed and pushed his hips back to indicate he was ready for more. Sesshomaru didn’t need another hint. He pumped in and out of Inuyasha. Reaching a striped hand down he pumped his brother in time with him.
Testes drew up.
Hearts raced.
Skin tingled.
Sexual pressure mounted with such intensity that it was like the raft racing down the rapids and approaching the waterfall. The horizon got closer. The water sounds grew louder. Suddenly they were on the precipice.   Their orgasms hit and they soared over the waterfall, the exhilaration, the release, the joy of being one together.
------------
It took nearly 20 day to get more paper for the scribe but as soon as the paper arrived the scribe told Jinenji. Nana and Jinenji sat with the scribe in the library at the main library table and Nana started teaching.   Elwood had gotten a deeper lacquer box for the booklet and had set it out for the scribe to use.    The subject was interesting. Time flew faster than ever. Before too long though Nana stretched and stood.
“Jinenji, I need to go check on a few things.   We can do this again tomorrow.”
“Yes, Sensei.”
Nana smiled and waved as she walked out of the library.
____________
The chief remained sleeping. A darkly clad ninja with a mask on snuck into the guard quarters and checked the incense burner.   Content all was well, the ninja faded into the background.   Moments later a castle guard straightened his uniform and started making his rounds.
______
Yori’s test didn’t go as well as Inuyasha and Kenichi had hoped.   It was known already that Akio was a better sumo wrestler but the leaders thought since he held his own to get to the top eight of the sumo contest that he could beat demon, hanyou and humans easily.
Yori was strong against humans and beat every human competitor easily.   His skill with the sword was superior and he has fast but his strength wore out fast and in seven of ten battles he was at the mercy of his opponent’s sword.   The other advisors asked if the man had slept well and had enough time between contests but Kenichi assured them half of the tests were done with enough rest and sleep. The other five were done under “adverse situations”, like he might encounter working as a castle guard.   Captain Kenichi had had centuries to polish his guard test. Lord Sesshomaru had reviewed it and agreed it was a fair and comprehensive test.
Inuyasha wanted to offer him the test again in a couple of months but Sesshomaru was more objective.
“Inuyasha, how much stronger can a human get in a couple of months? Perhaps six months would be more realistic?”
“But the man needs a job and a place to live,” Inuyasha plead.
“We can have Jaken find him a job if that’s acceptable to you, but the castle guards have to be strong. Yori just didn’t pass the test.” Sesshomaru sat back in his chair.
“You’re right, I saw the competitions.   But faithful, honest workers – Sesshomaru – he’s special.”
Sesshomaru shook his head. “The castle has to be protected.   Kenichi, offer him another invitation in six months and Jaken, offer him another type of job until then.   I agree with you, Inuyasha. He is special.   If it is to be, it will declare itself.”
Yori was disappointed with his performance on the challenge but gladly took a job as a grounds keeper at the temple. He expressed his thanks to the Lords and the advisors. As he walked away he wrapped a cord around his sword’s handle signifying he wouldn’t draw it again until he was stronger.

The construction was the talk of the town and many stood around watching. It was free local entertainment. Occasionally there were times the foreman needed day workers. When word got around that day workers were employed, a line of individuals was found at the site every morning. The foreman reported the trend to the advisors who discussed it at the weekly meeting.   Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were willing to fund the day workers if they could be fully utilized. Kenichi voiced his security concerns which dampened their enthusiasm a bit but eventually they decided to use day laborers to move things from the supply area to the construction site.   The extra help turned out to be cost effective; building time was cut by one third.

________________
While Inuyasha was napping, the Dutch captain Luuk dropped by to see Lord Sesshomaru.   Sesshomaru had rescued Luuk many years previous when the captain was a younger more inexperienced seaman.   The young seaman had been afloat at sea.
His captain had been mentoring him to take his place someday.   Chinese pirates had been scrounging the area searching for booty when they came across the Dutch ship.   Outmanned and outgunned the captain’s mentor and previous captain of the Dutch ship tossed Luuk to the mercy of the sea. He felt it would be more merciful than death in a Chinese torture chamber. Sesshomaru had been patrolling the area because some of the Chinese warriors were threatening the Western Lands when he saw the bright red haired male bobbing in the sea. He rescued Luuk. The two struggled several days to communicate with each other as Sesshomaru absorbed the language. Then when Sesshomaru had a rudimentary understanding of Dutch he assisted Luuk in recapturing his ship. Most of the men were dead, but the skeleton crew that was left was able to take the badly crippled ship back to the Netherlands with a treasure of Chinese pirate booty.
Truthfully Luuk would have given everything to Sesshomaru but Sesshomaru had other plans and planned to keep Luuk owing a life debt. On this trip he made a point of visiting Lord Sesshomaru. He was thrilled to hear that Sesshomaru wanted to trade. He offered free paper if Sesshomaru agreed to trade other things. Sesshomaru appeared to consider it. He knew the Dutch wanted ceramics and some art pieces.   He wanted some of the more current medical literature. He had read all the medical knowledge in the castle library.
___________
Sesshomaru had made a point of dropping by the library a couple of hours after Nana had dictated and had kept up with the reading, but now was curious of how it was listening to the source.   The following day he arranged his schedule so he could listen to the dictation live.
Once everyone was settled, Nana said, “Let’s start with labor”
The scribe looked up and blinked. “Nana, we covered that in the last chapter.”
We did?” Nana looked truly surprised.
“Well, I’ll just read back the last part of that chapter.” The scribe read back a couple of paragraphs.
Nana scratched her head. “I don’t remember telling you that but it is right.   Well, then let’s go on breast feeding.” Nana spent the next hour talking about breast feeding.
Sesshomaru was impressed with the old human’s knowledge, but he wondered about her forgetfulness. When he performed the 2¢ test he assured himself that it was indeed Nana because he noted the presence of Nana’s natural odor and the menthol scent.
Later that day after Nana and Jinenji had visited Inuyasha Sesshomaru thought it odd the menthol smell was gone.   He mentioned that to Kenichi when they were walking in the hallway. A chamber maid slipped into a side room as they walked by.
________
The little hanyou girl told all her neighbors what a wonderful healer Jinenji was. She showed off her dolly to anyone who would look.   Nana dropped in to see the neighbor a day or two later. The dolly was lifted for her to see.   Nana praised Jinenji’s work and smiled pleasantly at the young girl. She had just thought ‘What lovely work, I’ll have to tell him next time I see him. Funny, he hasn’t been around lately. Hope he’s ok,’ when the little girl’s mother whispered in Nana’s ear.
“You are so kind to us, Nana.   Two visits in two days just for a dolly.   Jinenji was just hanging on to your every word, yesterday.   He looked so happy. It was cute to see him blush when you praised him.”
Nana rubbed her chin and remained quiet. ‘Interesting.’ But she didn’t say anything to anyone
The following day before entering the castle the young chamber mate caught Nana.
Hesitantly she spoke, “Healer Nana, a messenger told me my sister is in need of a healer. She is close to delivery and she thinks the babe is upside down. Can you go to her, please?   Don’t waste a minute. I’ll tell Jinenji. She’s my only sister. I send her money from my job here at the castle. Please Nana.” The chamber maid was nearly in tears.
Nana could not refuse a cry for help and got the directions and a ride out to the country with one of the merchants that was going to Edo on the Tokaido route. As she rushed to join the merchants she wondered if she should have taken just a moment to let someone know.

Elwood had gotten discouraged with looking for insect information. He had been researching bugs for a month and a half with no luck.   He took a break and sat at the table, staring at nothing in specific, blinking occasionally.   Jake inched by and watched the wise young head librarian.
“Whatcha thinking about, Elwood?”
The elf owl demon shook his head quickly and appeared to rotate his head completely around to look at his friend. “Jake, my friend. You startled me.   I was just trying to think of a different way to look up insects. My research efforts have not been as fruitful as yours were with anatomy questions.”

“Perhaps you need to look at it from another perspective.”   Jake pushed his glasses back up on his nose.
“What do you mean?” The owl’s head side bent rather dramatically and he blinked his large intelligent eyes.
“You’ve been looking for normal bug activity, right?”
The owl demon nodded.
“What about abnormal bug activity?”
“What are you suggesting, Jake?” Elwood blinked multiple times.
“I just mean, Kenichi told us that all those bugs were working together and we all know that’s not normal behavior.”
“Yeh and?”
“Look up what causes Abnormal Behavior in any group of beings. I can think of one; weather. The birds will swarm in certain weather conditions.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Great idea. Abnormal behavior. Thanks Jake.”
And the owl flew off to a different section of the library.
Jake watched him soar then arc, glide and flutter away. Jake felt a bit of longing inching its way under his skin.   ‘Not yet,” he shook his head and then turned to reshelf some books.
-----------
Sesshomaru was in his first floor study reading petitions. It was the first break he had taken from reading anatomy texts, Ougai’s book, and Nana’s draft in a month plus and the petitions were piling up. Some will simple permissions to purchase land. Other’s requiring more information to determine facts. As he sorted through this his mind drifted.
This city will need to have an administration to deal with daily problems, fights, and thefts for example. They can adjudicate the simpler issues that have become back logged on your desk. Inuyasha had said that nearly 40 days ago and Sesshomaru had done nothing to show his brother what a great idea it was.   ‘Time to fix that,’ he thought.
“Jaken! Send in the scribe and some tea.   I’m going to be busy for a while.”
An hour later, a draft job description for castle town administrator was complete and ready to present at the next advisor meeting.

Doing the katas Usagi had been getting stronger and his moves more fluent.   Kenichi was pleased and told him so one evening while they were in the open area of the guard quarters.
“Does that mean you’ll tell me a Tenseiga story now?” Usagi asked. His ears twitched.
“I did say I would, didn’t I?” Kenichi nodded. “Very well.   It was 150 years ago or so now.   Lord Sesshomaru had accepted me as the captain of the guard and had asked me to accompany him on a hunt for an annoying pest of a burglar.   The guy had stolen or tried to steal everything. Lord Sesshomaru was tired of it so we went on a hunt.   Blood hounds have a great instinct to hunt, not as much to kill. Anyway, I had the scent and I took off chasing the guy.   I trapped him in a matter of minutes.   As I hovered over the burglar I took my eyes off him briefly.   In that time he took a blade and thrust it through my heart.   I died immediately.   My murderer struggled from under my body and ran perhaps 100 yards before Lord Inuyasha killed him.   Had he just been a burglar the punishment would have not been death. However because I was dead that was another story.   Lord Inuyasha was upset and begged Lord Sesshomaru to use Tenseiga. Or at least that’s what he told me later.”
“Initially the sword did not sing to Lord Sesshomaru.   Lord Inuyasha said he grabbed it and tried to swing it aimlessly over my body.   He did not see the imps of the underworld.   However the more Lord Inuyasha cried and shouted, the more Lord Sesshomaru understood his brother’s loss. Then Tenseiga started singing.   That’s how Lord Inuyasha described it to me.”
“Lord Sesshomaru slayed the imps of the underworld.   The next thing I remember was waking up and looking at Lord Inuyasha’s tear streaked face. I don’t remember anything else.    Many have asked what death was like. I don’t know. I know it didn’t hurt though.”
A number of castle guards had listened to this exchange between father and son, but they tried to act like they didn’t hear anything. One seemed having trouble tearing away from the conversation though. His bunk mate elbowed him and he excused himself to go to the bathroom.
___________
Ryota decided to visit Castletown after a week in order to check on Akio and to give Lord Sesshomaru’s court an update on the beaver settlement. “Sweet cheeks” was concerned that she had given Akio the wrong information about how long ago the strange man had visited the beaver village. The more she thought about it the more she realized it was only twenty years ago, not fifty.   She was very distressed that she had not been accurate in her story to a member of Lord Sesshomaru’s council and was even afraid she would suffer punishment. Ryota had tried to reassure her that it was ok and to not worry about it. When she heard he was going to castle town she begged him to tell the lords the time was different.   Ryota promised he would carry her message.
Ryota arrived in time to hear Akio singing to the oxen.   Laughing loudly the beaver demon made his way to his competitor’s side and began using his tail to lightly tap the seed into the ground.   In no time at all the two sumosans had the field planted and were moving on to the next.
After a productive day in the field Akio’s wife invited them in for dinner.   As the men enjoyed their meal Ryota explained why he had come by.   “Stay awhile” was all Akio had to say and Ryota set up a hammock and made himself at home.   He reported the time concern the following day at open court.   No one seemed concerned and all were grateful.
