Bastard's Gift
Chapter 3
Present Day
Inuyasha had to stop to catch his breath again. Up ahead, Katsutoshi was stubbornly attempting to pull the packages that were given to them by the kind villagers.
While he personally hated how weak he felt while carrying young, he did like how much more generous the people were treating him. His years with Kouga did nothing to quell his desire to protect the weak, and he had come to this village numerous times to chase off any vicious demons that tried to wreck havoc. Although at first he had done it under the guise of protecting the wolf clan's territory.
The people had been wary of them, but after a torrential rain that caused a flood in the village, they realized that the hanyou was really looking out for them. He rescued those that had gotten trapped within and helped with finding a temporary relocation while the water receded.
They welcomed the hanyou and his demon mate enthusiastically after that.
Now they had offered their condolences and wished the hanyou a safe journey. Inuyasha kept a brave front, but it was difficult with the hormones raging inside him. Children and women wept openly as many of the younger males pleaded to escort Inuyasha across the country.
Inuyasha gently rejected their offers of guards, but accepted the gifts of food and water they offered him and his son.
Katsutoshi did not seem happy with all the attention the adult villagers had given Inuyasha, but the young ones had kept him distracted enough.
Inuyasha glanced back.
He could no longer see the village.
He felt another sharp moment of pain as he suddenly remembered the very first time they passed this way, heading towards Kouga's den. In hindsight, the memory was romantic considering what the wolf said and did. But during the actual moment, the whole situation was mortifying.
Seven Years and three months ago
The days just passed, but Inuyasha did not care. If it weren't for Kouga, he probably wouldn't have eaten anything.
He wasn't even aware of how much distance they had covered. It wasn't until a flash of light and a sharp crack of thunder snapped him out of his daze and brought everything into focus.
Looking around, he realized that Kouga had sheltered them into a cave. It overlooked a valley in which a small village rested in the middle.
"We're only about four days away at full speed," Kouga said. "Although the clan may greet us halfway since this is part of our territory."
Inuyasha acknowledged Kouga's words with a nod.
He stared at the ground as he sat down.
A few moments later, Kouga sat down next to him.
A minute passed and Inuyasha realized that Kouga was staring at him.
"What is it?" he finally asked, wincing at how hoarse his voice sounded.
Kouga cleared his throat, looking uncomfortable.
"The clan will smell Naraku in you," he said, hating how Inuyasha's ears folded back against his head. "They won't accept your child as my ward with only words to back up my claim."
"You bastard," Inuyasha said softly, his eyes filled with betrayal. "Why did you bother in giving me hope?"
Inuyasha made to stand but was stopped by a gentle, yet firm grasp on his wrist.
"I'm not done," Kouga replied gently.
Inuyasha gave him a half hearted glare.
"There's only one way they will accept him. I'm just not sure if you will be willing."
Whatever Kouga was feeling that day, he had hid it well. It wouldn't be until years later that he would admit to Inuyasha that he had been afraid that the hanyou would have found the strength to bolt and hide as soon as he heard what claiming an unborn ward entailed.
"What do I have to do?" Inuyasha asked.
"Allow me to mark you with my scent."
Inuyasha was confused by the wording. "How?"
Kouga glanced away. "There is only one way that will dilute Naraku's scent enough to appease the elders." Kouga turned to face Inuyasha again. "I will need to mount you as if you were my mate."
Inuyasha recoiled, fear in his eyes.
"Pup, it doesn't have to be scary. It won't hurt the pup you carry. And it only works if you trust me! So the questions are, do you trust me and will you let me?"
"How often?"
"Once a month will be sufficient. Maybe even right before the new moon so my scent will be at its strongest when you need it most."
Inuyasha gave him a sharp look.
"I guessed," Kouga said, responding to the unspoken question.
"I don't think I can."
Kouga sighed. "Pup, I can't protect you if we don't."
"Then I don't need your protection!"
There was the hint of the old Inuyasha that Kouga desperately wanted to see again.
Kouga moved to kneel in front of the hanyou. He gently grasped Inuyasha's head and rested his forehead against the half breed.
"Don't need or don't want?" he asked, gently.
Inuyasha's cheeks had a faint hint of red due to the intimate feel of Kouga's actions. He found himself unable to answer.
Kouga pulled back. "I do have another reason for wanting to take things this far with you," Kouga admitted.
"Oh yeah? Like what?"
Inuyasha presumed the worst. What better way for the wolf to finally show his superiority than to treat the hanyou like a bitch?
He was completely unprepared for the sincere, and somewhat romantic, response.
"I told you before. I still want you as my mate, Inu. I'll protect your pup regardless of what you choose, but I am hoping that after the pup has been born, you'll consider me your top choice as a future mate."
Inuyasha barely remembered Kouga saying something like that. He looked Kouga in the eyes.
The look behind Kouga's eyes was too intense for the hanyou. Inuyasha turned away, his pale face now a full blown red.
He could scarcely believe that the wolf was claiming to still want him as a mate, and wanting to take on Naraku's spawn as a ward. Deep in his heart he had thought that his words had been said on whim, but here was the wolf proclaiming those same words again, just days from his den. So unlike Sesshomaru, who shunned him back on the battlefield, leaving him feeling worse than trash. His heart beat frantically against his chest as emotions crashed with one another.
Having been forced into a conversation instead of wallowing in self pity, Inuyasha was now beginning to think about the future. He strengthened his resolve to have this child and raise it into a decent being. But dare he do it alone or take Kouga's offer into consideration? His friends were no longer part of this world, and their absence hurt terribly. Having Kouga beside him would lessen that horrible feeling of loneliness. But back to the crux of all things… was he willing to submit to another male?
Pride warred with need in this matter. He never wanted to be forced into submission like that again.
But if he did so willingly, he would be guaranteeing protection for his pup, not only with Kouga, but from his clan. Not to mention that Kouga's words and actions were gentle and true, while Naraku's had been vile. Kouga said a coupling didn't have to hurt, and he knew this to be true from the times Naraku would take him gently. But the action was unwanted and made it worse. Could he allow Kouga to breach him without panicking?
Inuyasha looked the wolf demon in his eyes. Those blue depths were filled with promise and hope, and they softened as tears began to form in the hanyou's eyes, blurring his vision.
"I know I can't really do this alone," Inuyasha whispered. "If it was just me, I would try. But my pup…" Inuyasha placed a hand on his stomach, feeling that soft flutter of life.
Kouga pulled him into an embrace, nuzzling the top of his head.
"Inuyasha, if I knew another way I would let you know so it wouldn't be so difficult to make a choice."
"Do it."
Kouga pulled back. "Do you trust me?"
"Yes." Even as he spoke the word, Inuyasha realized that it was true. This wolf demon, despite the supposed animosity they had with each other during their earlier travels, did his best to help rescue him. He died for him as well. If there were another way, Kouga would have told him. That much he knew. And so he trusted that Kouga would not hurt him.
He was a bit surprised when Kouga pulled him in for a deep kiss.
Inuyasha didn't resist, although his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He highly doubted that kissing had anything to do with claiming an unborn ward, but he allowed Kouga to continue because it was obvious that it was something the wolf needed to do, if only for himself.
Inuyasha trembled slightly as hands undid the binds that held his hakama and kimono closed. He didn't realize how cold he was until extremely warm hands gently cupped and slid over his extended stomach. He could feel the little one brushing against the outer side, as if seeking the warmth.
Kouga's eyes were glowing blue, similar to when the heat was over taking him, only not as bright. Kouga leaned forward and kissed his stomach, before pushing forward and easing Inuyasha onto his back.
Inuyasha felt his face burning at being exposed like this in front of the wolf demon. He could hear a deep rumbling sound coming from Kouga's throat, somewhat like a cross between a purr and a growl. It wasn't scary, but instead it was somewhat soothing. Almost like some demon lullaby.
Inuyasha gave a start as he felt something wet and hot brush against his cock. He felt himself growing hard and he couldn't help but gasp as the strange feeling.
Kouga's tongue was so gentle.
Inuyasha then cried out as Kouga took his member into his mouth and began to gently suck on it.
"K-kouga!" Inuyasha stammered, embarrassed by what he was seeing. He struggled to sit up, propping himself on his elbows.
Kouga stared up at him, and Inuyasha felt a bit stunned by how Kouga looked with those glowing eyes. Kouga stopped and pulled away, making a small popping sound as Inuyasha panted.
"It makes things easier if I can make it feel good for you, Puppy," he said in a husky voice, licking his lips.
"B-but…" Inuyasha couldn't even remember what he was going to say as the wolf demon went down on him again. Inuyasha threw his head back and let out a moan as he felt a fire race from his nether regions up and over all of his body. He bit his lip, trying to keep quiet.
He felt fingers probing his entrance. He started to tense, but then Kouga engulfed his member completely, distracting him. Inuyasha gasped and covered his face with his hands, embarrassed by what he must look like. He could hear Kouga's chest rumble with laughter, but the vibrations kept him too stimulated to react in annoyance.
He realized that Kouga's fingers were now in him, scissoring his hole, stretching him out. It was uncomfortable, but the humming sounds he was making sent waves of pleasure to counter the feeling.
He then hit something in him that made him writhe in pleasure.
Inuyasha cried out as his hands reached to grab Kouga by the hair.
He could feel it as Kouga added another finger and pushed in even deeper.
"Just a little more," Kouga purred.
Inuyasha weakly cried out.
As pressure continued to mount between his legs, Kouga pulled his fingers out. "Oh your knees, Puppy. It'll be easier on you."
Inuyasha struggled to turn around, and so Kouga helped him.
"Just breathe," Kouga murmured.
Inuyasha trembled as he could feel Kouga brushing his lips up his spine.
"K-kouga?"
"I, Kouga of the wolf tribe, promise to watch over the cub in your womb." Inuyasha bit his lip as he felt Kouga begin to breach him. "With my sweat, I mark you with my scent." Kouga thrust into him. "With my teeth, I mark you as my intended." Kouga bit into Inuyasha's shoulder, and although it drew blood, Inuyasha barely felt it. Kouga began to piston in and out of him. Inuyasha shuddered as Kouga's hands began to roam across his stomach and chest, caressing his body.
Kouga pulled Inuyahsa back so that he was sitting on Kouga's lap, pulling the wolf demon deeper into his body. Kouga's hands grabbed his hips and began to raise him and drop him.
The heat became unbearable and Inuyasha could feel the pressure building, seeking release. It was unlike anything he had experience at the hands of Naraku. "K-kouga!" Inuyasha cried out, feeling his body go tense.
"With my seed, I seal this oath," Kouga whispered.
Inuyasha cried out once more as he felt the warmth of Kouga's seed fill him, making his body shudder. His own release quickly followed, spurting over Kouga's hand that had reached out to touch him at that moment.
Inuyasha panted for air as his body continued to tremble in the aftermath of the orgasm. He could also faintly sense the fetus within him just floating there. With the increased sensitivity, Inuyasha could feel the warmth from inside, as if Kouga's promise had given the pup energy.
Kouga gently lay Inuyasha on his side, as he too followed, still buried in Inuyasha. He spooned the hanyou, arms wrapped around him, sharing his body's warmth.
A gently hand brushed through the sweaty locks of Inuyasha's hair.
Inuyasha felt his eyes closing, and after the harrowing months he endured, he found himself falling into a calm sleep, feeling safe and secure.
Present Day
Inuyasha felt a small smile on his lips as he thought back to that evening. While the sleep had been blissful, the following day was one of pure embarrassment. He loathed to admit that when he woke up, he felt like he was going to combust from the heat on his face. Kouga, if he could recall correctly, was just as red as he was as they both continued their journey to Kouga's den.
Inuyasha then sighed as he looked at the sky. A small touch of fear entered him. The new moon was coming, which was one of the reasons he had needed to leave. Despite trusting the wolf clan, Kouga had done a good job in keeping his human transformation a secret all these years. Now that Kouga was gone, he wasn't too sure how the wolf clan would have reacted to his secret.
Yes, they were more amicable to the human population due to how he and Kouga protected some of the neighboring villages, and they accepted his hanyou status. However, they no longer approved of Katsutoshi's presence without Kouga there to claim him as his ward, and Inuyasha did not want to risk that they would do something about it when he was at his weakest.
Katsutoshi, thankfully, understood the importance of keeping his transformation secret, and was surprisingly very protective of his father during those nights when Kouga had to leave to chase down a rumor of Naraku.
Of course there was also the problem that he was now out in the open tempting fate during his transformation. He could only hope that he could find a tree large enough with plenty of coverings to hide him during the night.
He would also need to keep the food hidden elsewhere away from him in case it did catch the attention of ravenous beasts. It would be the perfect bait to lure them away.
Up ahead, he was unaware of his son watching his every move.
He knew that his father was missing Kouga, and in some ways, he did miss the wolf demon too. But the wolf was not real family, at least according to the elder wolves, and Katsutoshi believed them. After all, he smelled nothing like Kouga.
Well, that was a lie. There was a faint smell of Kouga, but it was a superficial smell. He could smell his father's scent emanating from within him, but Kouga's scent was on the outside. He did catch several times a familiar scent when Kouga would seek battles with the one named Naraku. He could only assume that the demon was his sire.
And smelling the disgust and fear Inuyasha emitted when he heard Naraku's name, Katsutoshi understood that this demon was not one to look up to as a second father. No one who caused his birth father pain was worthy, even if he was Katsutoshi's sire.
And since Kouga was gone, Katsutoshi knew it was up to him to watch out for his father. Especially with the eve of the new moon.
He was glad that they were away from the village of fawning imbeciles. He never really understood the connection his father had with humans, but the prizes they gave them were still appreciated. He supposed there was a benefit to remaining friendly with such wretched beings.
Katsutoshi kept moving on ahead, scouring the area for trees that his father would approve of. He finally found one that was big and had several thick branches as well as lots of leaves.
"Papa!" he shouted, pointing up. He felt warm as his father looked at him and smiled, giving one nod.
"Now let's find one that can hold our food, just in case."
The sun was setting by the time they had found another tree and had already made their way up their chosen resting place. Inuyasha rested his back against the trunk, holding Katsutoshi on his lap. The young demon child snuggled up against his father, inhaling the soothing scent only his father carried, even if it was fading a bit.
He closed his eyes, knowing that his father would stay awake for a while before drifting off to sleep. He wanted to make sure he had slept some before that happened.
It was late at night when Katsutoshi's eyes snapped open. He could feel the change in breathing coming from his father, signaling that the now human male had fallen asleep. Katsutoshi pulled away and did one of his favorite things-- watching his father sleep.
Yes, while humans were wretched beings, his father blessed their race by looking beautiful in this form. He looked prettier than some of the noble women they had come across. Looking down, he saw some small four legged demon circling the tree. Katsutoshi watched it silently as it then moved towards the other tree that hid their provisions.
Katsutoshi knew that this was something his father planned, but he really didn't want to lose any of the food that the villagers had given to them. It was needed to feed the sibling growing in his father's womb.
Moving carefully, Katsutoshi moved off of his father's lap, becoming still only once when Inuyasha stirred. When his father settled back down, Katsutoshi dropped to the ground.
He knew his father would go crazy in fear if he saw this, but being the only male in Inuyasha's life, he could not afford to be treated like a child anymore. He was seven after all.
The small demon whirled around at the sound of a twig snapping. Its eyes landed on the small child whose eyes glowed red in the darkness of the moonless night.
It began to run towards the child, only to be caught midair by some tentacles protruding from the child's back.
The creature snarled and snapped its teeth in Katsutoshi's face, kicking out in hopes to get free.
Katsutoshi glanced up to see that his father was still sleeping. He turned to the demon in his clutches and gave a chilling smile as purple miasma rose around him, engulfing the two.
The wretched beast gave out a choked gasp and then became limp. Looking at it carefully, Katsutoshi decided he really liked the retractable claws the demon had.
His tentacles wrapped around it completely engulfing the dead thing. Minutes later, the tentacles retreated enough to expose the creature once more, and Katsutoshi flung it several feet away.
He then looked at his hands and grinned as he practiced exposing and retracting his claws.
He would be able to protect his father better with these.
He made it up in time to sit on Inuyasha's lap as his father came out of deep sleep. He smiled as his father suddenly wrapped his arms around him and pulled him in for a tighter hug.
"Katsu?" Inuyasha murmured out, half asleep.
Katsutoshi didn't respond, wanting his father to believe that he was still asleep. He heard his father clear his throat and settle back down.
Katsutoshi closed his eyes. After that brief nap, he knew his father would remain vigilant for the rest of the night. So he might as well sleep and be well rested enough to continue their journey the following morning.
He woke up again just as the sun peeked over the edge and his father's inky black locks became white again.
"Morning, Papa," he said with a smile.
His father smiled back again, and then frowned as he sniffed the air. There was a look of alarm as he said a simple, "Stay here," and left Katsutoshi on the branch and leapt down.
Katsutoshi watched as his father sniffed around the tree. He thought he heard the name of Naraku muttered from his father's lips. There was the final proof he needed. He knew his father didn't emit poisonous gas like him. So Naraku had to have been the one to have given him that power.
And seeing the fear and alarm in his father's eyes, Katsutoshi knew that he would have to keep his powers secret from his father. He did not want to stress his father.
He watched as Inuyasha seemed to calm down and glance up at him.
"Did you come down during the night?" he asked him.
Katsutoshi decided to take the risk and admit to his father that he was down below. But he would keep the reason a secret. After all, Inuyasha had probably caught a faint scent of the miasma and made the connection to Naraku. But if Katsutoshi had a similar scent to his sire, then he would need to be careful not to leave too much of the scent behind and cause his father false alarm.
"I needed to use the bathroom and you were asleep," he finally replied, adding guilt to his voice.
Inuyasha frowned at him. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Because you rarely sleep when you're human and you looked like a sleeping princess." Katsutoshi beamed at his father.
Inuyasha's cheeks flushed red at the strange reason his child uttered. "Princess?! I'm no girl," he exclaimed.
"No. You are better than a girl!" Katsutoshi claimed. "You're my Papa!"
Katsutoshi leapt from the branches and into Inuyasha's arms, laughing as his father forgot his concern and tickled him. Katsutoshi reached up and gave his father a kiss.
"I'm hungry. Let's eat!" As Inuyasha set him down, Katsutoshi pulled on his father's hand, leading him away from where the carcass of the small demon last night had landed.

Naraku hissed as he moved. The battle against Kouga was pretty devastating, and it took almost a month to heal, but at least he was moving again. There was also the fact that the stupid wolf was now dead.
The time to seek out and fully reclaim Inuyasha without interference was finally at hand.
He knew that the child he had left Inuyasha with was still alive. He could smell a faint trace of him on Kouga each time they met in battle. That wretched wolf demon had undone all his work on the hanyou. The single time Inuyasha and Naraku had fought after his escape, only the sharp tang of fear betrayed his emotions. But it was not enough to paralyze him. The white haired hanyou was able to fight. The wolf had somehow reshaped Inuyasha and it made Naraku furious.
He also knew that the two had finally claimed each other as mates.
The rage he felt at that moment he smelled that on Kouga was what allowed him to utterly destroy the wolf in that final battle. Kouga's death was not enough to sate his need for revenge against the wolf prince. He hoped that Inuyasha now carried that demon's spawn so that he could absorb it as well.
Naraku began to laugh as he envisioned how broken the hanyou would become once he was captured and forced to endure the death of his two children.

Sesshomaru closed the doors to his chambers, his mind racing with a million thoughts. But the one that rang loudly in his head was of the news he had received.
Kouga of the wolf tribe was dead.
His half brother's protector, and most likely mate, was dead.
And he had died almost a month ago.
So where was that leaving the half breed in all this?
Sesshomaru of old would not have cared, but the Sesshomaru who saw the benefit of mating with his brother thought otherwise.
He still felt a bit betrayed that the hanyou actually chose to carry the spawn of Naraku rather than to give it up and go with him. And to go off with the wolf? It still burned his pride to think about it. When he had walked away, he had thought that Inuyasha would run after him. After a while, Sesshomaru realized that Inuyasha had not followed. He discreetly backtracked and was able to smell the scent of Inuyasha and Kouga heading together in the same direction.
The tree that was next to him was nothing but kindle by the time he was calm enough to walk away.
Sesshomaru looked at the scroll in his hands.
He knew that Rin and Kohaku were most likely expecting some type of response to the news.
But he did not know how to respond at this time.
It was best to let others think he did not care.
He would send a reply to the other news they had given him, but nothing on Inuyasha.
He would, however, send out his trackers to find out whether or not Inuyasha stayed with the wolf clan, or if he was on the move again. Because regardless of how Sesshomaru felt about Inuyasha himself, he knew that he could not let Naraku get a hold of his half breed brother again.
To be Continued…
A/N2: Ah, finally the introduction of other characters. More to come on the Rin and Kohaku thing, the only human survivors to the Naraku massacre.
