Kagome curled into InuYasha’s side, her arm wrapped around his middle and her head on his shoulder, just enjoying the quiet time with him as their beautiful babies slept nearby. Though neither of them had voiced it, they both had the feeling that evenings like this one were going to be few and far between in the coming days, so she wouldn’t take what time they did have for granted.
Surely Naraku would be feeling pressured into making a move now that it was clear that her people would be standing with the youkai against him and would no longer be tricked into fighting with each other. He was also likely upset about InuYasha coming in at the last minute and stealing her and their children out from under him.
Someone knocked and InuYasha placed a kiss in her hair. “I’ll get it.”
He slipped away from her and she immediately missed his warmth. At least now though their relationship had been made public, and they didn’t have to hide anymore or make excuses to be together.
InuYasha opened the door and smiled. “Guess Sesshomaru was right about me being your favorite.”
Hisako rolled her eyes. “I do not have favorites, but I will say that fatherhood suits you, or perhaps it is being mated.”
“Whatever,” he said. “I know you like me best, and I think it’s probably both. Kagome and the pups are in the other room.”
Kagome stood and bowed in greeting as they entered the living room. “Hisako-san, it’s good to see you again. Thank you for coming.”
“You do not need to thank me,” Hisako told her. “It is my honor to serve you and InuYasha-sama and to be trusted with the care of your children you cannot be with them.”
“Well, we’re glad to have you,” Kagome said. “We have a room here in the main house for you or there are some small apartments on the grounds as well. Whichever would be most comfortable for you.”
“Either will be agreeable,” Hisako said. “Now, can I see them? I’ll admit I have been anxious to meet the newest additions to the house I have served for most of my life.”
InuYasha smirked. “Keh, of course. How are you gonna tell me I have the most adorable pups you’ve ever seen if you don’t get a proper look at them.”
Kagome laughed lightly. If there was one thing that could be said about InuYasha it was that he was most assuredly a proud father. He thought both of their children were absolutely perfect in every way. He didn’t see any difference in them even though their daughter was completely human and their son a hanyou. Though she didn’t envy her little girl who was going to have a hard time convincing her father and brother that there was any boy alive out there deserving of her when she was old enough to want to start dating.
As always Kazuki and Emiko were together in their bassinet. Hisako looked down at them with a smile, laying a hand on each of their heads.
“Thick as thieves and twice as sneaky these two will be, I think,” she said and then she laughed. “Better start preparing yourselves now. But you were right about one thing, a finer pair of pups, I have never seen. Even cuter than you were, I think, InuYasha-sama.”
“Keh, of course they are,” he scoffed. “They take after their mother that way.”
“More and more you are the sweet boy, I remember,” Hisako said, causing InuYasha to blush. “You beloved Lady Mother would be so proud and so overjoyed to see you now, too see the man you have become and the family you have made here. She would also no doubt adore both your mate and your children, Your Lord Father as well.”
Kagome could feel how overwhelmed InuYasha was so she spoke for them both. “Thank you, Hisako-san. I have to believe that too, that they would be proud of the man his is and it comforts me as well to know you think they would have approved.”
InuYasha moved closer to her, and laid his hand on her shoulder. ‘My mother would have loved you almost as much as I do, woman.’ He buried his face in her hair. ‘Both of us have to make it through this, for them. I swore to myself that if I ever had pups I’d never leave them alone.’
She covered his hand with hers. ‘We will. Remember we agreed on happily ever after.’
Hisako tilted her head a little as she watched them. “You may think this old woman a fool, but I wonder could it be possible, ishindenshin?”
“Keh, you always were too observant for my own good,” InuYasha said. “I know it makes no sense and I’ve never even heard of it happening so fast, but for us that’s pretty much par for the course. Though it’ll probably come in handy if those two are as much of a handful as you think they’ll be.”
“Yes, then and now if things are going to be as dire as Sesshomaru-sama believes,” Hisako agreed. “Perhaps, InuYasha-sama, you should command me not to speak of it. Better to have your every advantage protected as completely as possible.”
He sighed. “You’re probably right, but you know I hate doing it, especially to you since I know you’d never betray my family.”
“While your faith in me is cherished, there is no command stronger than yours save your brother’s, but that is not to say others could not command me,” she told him. “That you dislike using your great power so much means I have nothing to fear from seeking your command, and you will do it just as before to protect that which is most precious to you, as it should be.”
“Do you have to be right all the time?” he asked. “Is that something they teach you women, like some secret you all hand down to each other?”
Kagome giggled. “Maybe you are just lucky enough to be surrounded by smart women.”
“All my life,” he said without a trace of sarcasm. He took a deep breath and gathered his youki, willing it outward with his intent. “Hisako, you will not speak of the development of the ishindenshin between my mate and I to anyone except my brother.”
The youkai woman shivered. “At least you youki is warm. Your brother’s commands leave a lingering chill that take hours to fade. That done, I have been thinking it is best if I take a room in the house should you be needed, you won’t have to call for me, as I will already be here. Preferably though the one farthest from your room. I have little interest in hearing what a newly mated pair gets up to behind closed doors.”
Kagome blushed but giggled too and then winked at Hisako. “Not to mention InuYasha’s snoring. I’ll show you your room.”
“Oi, I don’t snore,” he protested as the two women headed away from him and down the hall towards the spare bedroom.
Kagome showed Hisako to her room and opened the door for her. “If you want to change anything, feel free. Also I’m not really sure how this is supposed to work or what you do in Sesshomaru-sama’s home, but I don’t want you to feel like there is anything you have to do besides watching the twins if both of us have to leave.”
“I am afraid I will not know what to do with myself,” Hisako told her. “I have served InuYasha-sama’s family for a very long time. Of course this is your domain, and I will serve only as you wish.”
“Please, say I haven’t offended you somehow,” Kagome said. “I’m afraid I have no experience when it comes to such matters.”
“Keh, Hisako is too good a servant to be offended by anything her Lord or Lady might say,” InuYasha said coming up behind her. “Plus she knows you’re too nice to have actually meant to be offensive. Just let her do what she does. It ain’t like she’s gonna be a maid or nothing. Mostly she just bosses the other servants around, but she’ll pick up the slack if we get too busy to keep up with everything around here. So quit worrying about it.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to worry,” Kagome tried. “I just never expected to have a ...servant of any kind, but I can respect that it is a part of youkai culture even though it might take some getting used to.”
InuYasha snorted. “The Great Miko has trouble adjusting to the idea of having people in service beneath her when she’s been trained her whole life to be above all her people, to lead them. Tell me how that makes sense, woman.”
Kagome blushed and slapped his arm. “It’s not the same and you know it.”

Later that night as the lay together in the quiet dark, bodies entwined Kagome found herself unable to resist the urge to slip away from InuYasha. His eyes were glowing a little as they watched her. She knelt down beside the cradle and just looked at her beautiful babies. She caressed Emiko’s cheek and traced the back of Kazuki’s ear with one finger. She loved them so much and was more than willing to fight for them and for the world of peace she dreamed of, but that didn’t stop her from being afraid of so many things.
She was afraid of failing them and afraid that something would happen to her. It would break her heart not to be there for them and to see them grow up. Then there was InuYasha. What if one of them died? She smiled a little as she felt him squat down behind her and his chin came to rest upon her shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” he asked quietly as he circled her middle with his arms.
She shook her head a little. “I don’t know. I just get the feeling that our time is up that this will be the last night like this one for a long time.” ‘And I’m afraid.’
He rubbed his nose against her and lifted her off the floor and into his arms. ‘Me too.’
InuYasha lifted her from her feet and into his arms. He laid her carefully back in their bed and then joined her. She snuggled into him as soon as he was beside her and he held her as tightly as he dared.
“I worry, you know, that if something happens it will be my fault,” he admitted quietly. “That it’s because I’m not supposed to have all this, to be happy and that the three of you will suffer for it. Just my being born ruined my parent’s lives.”
She lifted her head and touched his face, her heart aching for him. "Somehow I doubt that they felt that way. And what about our babies? Kazuki is hanyou. Has him being born ruined anything?"
“What? No!” he protested. “He’s perfect and what the hell could he have done. He’s just a pup.”
“Exactly,” she said. “You were no different from him and I know that your parents were just as happy to have you as we are to have our beautiful babies. They had to know it wouldn’t be easy, but they loved the idea of you so much that they decided it was worth it, just like us. Whatever happens it won’t be because you are somehow being punished. Besides if Naraku really has been waiting for me then being with you is what saved my life. If you hadn’t loved me you wouldn’t have worked so hard to find me and if I hadn’t been pregnant with your children he would have killed me right then.”
He placed a soft kiss against her lips. “I guess I never thought of it that way. You are pretty lucky then to have me, aren’t you?”
She smiled. “I’ve always thought so.” He snorted and she laughed, reaching down between then and bringing him to life with a few soft tugs. “Mmm, and I’d feel even luckier if you’d hurry up and put this and your mouth to better use than saying such stupid stuff.”
He growled a little and she gasped as he moved over her, sliding into her smoothly. He nibbled her throat as he rocked against her. “Is this better, my mate?”
“Hmm, ask me again in a few minutes,” she replied as she grabbed his ass in both hands pulled him even more firmly against her.
He chuckled against her skin. “Gods, I fucking love you.”
Her back arched and she gasped as he moved against her in long slow strokes. “Guess that makes you the lucky one.”
“Absolutely,” he agreed with a groan.
He didn’t know how it was possible that every time they were together seemed better than the time before. In spite of him having known about the concept of mating, he hadn’t really understood, not before her. He slid his hand up the back her thigh holding her against him. How could anyone really have ever been made just for him, to be his perfect match in every way, and yet as he looked down at this beautiful woman lying beneath him, offering him all of herself body and soul without reservation or regret, he knew she was the one. She who made him feel cherished with every breath, wanted with every word and needed with her every caress.
She whispered his name inside his head and he could feel the way she yearned, the way she came alive under his touch. He moved against her with hard deliberate strokes, wanting more than anything to show her that he yearned and needed and cherished her, to let her feel his love for her, indisputable. Her nails bit into his back as she climaxed, and he let himself get swept away by her.
‘More. Again.’
‘You read my mind.’
But before he could start again she was pushing against his chest as she tried to roll over beneath him. She lifted herself on to her knees just enough that he could slip into her again. She felt his youki surge forward hard and welcome it. She loved him, all of him. His loved liked a human, but that wasn’t all he was and she wouldn’t have changed him for all the world. Human, youkai, hanyou, they were all her InuYasha. She could feel him fighting against himself, his fear of letting go of his control completely.
‘Let go. I can take it. And you would never hurt me.’
‘I can’t.’
‘Trust me.’
The youkai echoed the same two words. Trust me. He didn’t know if he could trust the youkai or if he ever would but he did trust his Kagome and so he surrendered himself to her completely. The youkai rushed forward, but it wasn’t the same as it had been before and he realized that Kagome had been right. No part of him would ever hurt her.
He had her hard and fast, drawing blood more than once with fangs that felt too big for his mouth as he nipped at her, but it only seemed to excite her more as she pushed back against him. Kagome-mate the youkai rumbled with a strange sort of affection that was different than the love he felt for her in his human heart, but could not be denied. She cried out beneath him, quivering around him and he followed her as he always would for as long as he lived, even into hell if he had to he would follow her.
Kagome felt his youki slowly contracting as he softened and slipped out of her. He fell over onto his back and she leaned over him, studying his face as his fangs shortened and the markings on his cheeks slowly faded.
She ran a fingertip over one of them. “It’s a shame these always have to go. I kind of like them. They make you look… I don’t know I want to say powerful, dangerous even.”
“Keh, probably because youkai markings are a mark of power,” he told her. “Holy hell, woman that was, fuck, I don’t even know how to describe. The youkai, he feels so much more than I can physically and his sense are stronger, deeper.”
“You’re welcome then, and I told you so,” she teased.
He snorted. “So what do they look like anyway.”
“Darker than Sesshomaru’s and there’s only one instead of two,” she told him as she laid her head on his shoulder. “They aren’t smooth like his either, a little jagged at the edges, I guess. There’s nothing on your forehead either.”
Be brushed his nose against her bangs. “Like father’s then, which I guess makes sense. Or so I’ve heard since it’s not like I can remember him.”
She turned away from him and he moved with her, holding her against him. His brow furrowed as he realized that she was a little closed off now and he hoped she wasn’t beating herself up about bringing up his father. Yeah it sucked that he never got to know his old man, but he’s made peace with that a long time ago, or at least as much as he could. He wasn’t a pup anymore who stayed pissed off about things that couldn’t be changed. He was far more likely to get all moody about his mother anyway, because unlike his father, he remember her, sometimes too clearly.
“I’m okay with it, you know,” he offered. “It sucks but it’s kind of cool that mine are like his even if you can’t see them all the time. It’s proof that I’m really his son.”
“I don’t think you need his markings to prove that you are your father’s son,” she offered quietly. “But it’s not that.”
“Then what are you thinking about so hard?” he asked gently.
“Sesshomaru,” she replied.
He lifted his head and looked down at her, his brow furrowed. “We just had amazing sex and you’re thinking about my brother? Damn, I must be losing my touch.”
“Not like that,” she said. “I was thinking about how I really need to talk to him an arrange for the release of all the youkai we are still holding that are just political prisoners and haven’t actually committed any crimes to speak of.”
“Okay, I get that, but how in the hell did you go from us to that?” he asked.
She caressed his cheek. “I was thinking about how much I love you and love being with you and it just came to me that at least some of those youkai probably have family that they love just as much and how I’m a terrible person for not having thought of it sooner.”
“You aren’t a terrible person,” he told her. “You were missing for months and then gave birth in the middle of a battle and are only just now getting your life back to something resembling normal. I’m sure it would have come up before now if things had gone differently.”
“When you put it that way…” she said thoughtfully. “But I still want to get it all arranged as soon as we can so they can go home too, especially now that a treaty is pretty much a done deal and knowing what we know about Naraku and the rest of it.”
“Then we will,” he assured her. “Now, try and relax and get some sleep.”
He laid back down and curled himself around her, his chest against her back and one hand draped possessively over her middle. She closed her eyes as kissed the back of her neck beneath her hair and let his gentle affections chase away what remained of her lingering concerns if only for tonight.
