Arashi felt everything as he woke. His entire body felt like one giant ache. He smelled his father quite close to him and his body relaxed. He also smelled his baby sister plastered to his side still smelling as babies do. Opening his eyes his world was a blurry mess, but he was comfortable and content with the scent of his powerful father. Fully blinking awake he felt a little off about his location. Looking around he saw the fur of his father and human’s everywhere. His chest was bandaged and he was unsure. His father wouldn’t leave him in a place with all of these humans, nor would he leave his sister. Arashi began to panic, grabbing his sister, he jumped through the roof and landed outside. Taking a chance, he darted into the forest. “Arashi-shi! Stop it!” Arashi was only focused on getting away from the strange human’s that might’ve attacked him, and finding his dad or father.
A blessing came in the form of his father cutting him off and capturing him in a much-appreciated embrace. “Father I want to go home!” He lamented as he was held close, Kiki being squished between them.
“I know, but right now you must calm yourself. You are completely safe right now.” Sesshomaru said sternly.
“But I don’t feel safe…” Sesshomaru watched as his young heir teared up and began to cry. The lord gave his daughter her freedom as he held his son closely. It’d been quite a while since the young boy cried about anything and Sesshomaru understood the stress of their past was getting to him.
“Do not worry. I won’t let anything happen to you pup. I apologize for coming so late.” He smoothed down his hair and Kiki hugged her crying elder brother as well, tearing up herself as she’d never seen him cry. Inuyasha finally burst through the brush and awkwardly watched as Sesshomaru comforted the crying young man.
“Please I just wanna go home…” He continued to cry.
“I know, and we will leave as soon as we are able.” Sesshomaru was finally able to calm his son to hiccups and sniffles but when his son laid eyes on Inuyasha he knew everything would come to light.
“Dad!” Arashi darted over and embraced the hanyou who’s eyes became 3 times larger.
“What…?” Inuyasha said, his scent oozing confusion into the air and then immediately changing to panic.
“Dad?” Arashi questioned, loosening his grip on the hanyou.
Sesshomaru sighed, “Inuyasha...this is what I meant when I said you’d become scared.”
“I ain’t scared!!” Inuyasha growled immediately, shocking his son and daughter.
“Arashi, take your sister back to the village. Immediately.” Sesshomaru stated, Arashi wasting no time getting away from the tense atmosphere. “Inuyasha, calm yourself. If you wish to speak to me then we will do so, civilly. I’m not going to fight you.” Sesshomaru turned away and headed back to the sacred tree. Sitting back in his place he watched Inuyasha come out of the woods nervously. Sesshomaru observed as the hanyou approached with caution.
“I don’t understand…why would I ever? I just don’t see that ever happening.” Inuyasha stammered.
“But it does.” Sesshomaru stated nonchalantly, wishing he’d been able to warn his son not to reveal their relationship as his daughter was doing quite well, being that he kept her close eliminated the need for her to call him. With Inuyasha refusing to speak Sesshomaru sighed. “I’m going to hunt for our son and then I’ll be leaving in a few days to finish killing the specters. You’ll be coming here after that, speak to yourself about it if it makes you more comfortable to do so.” Standing up Sesshomaru headed to the village first to reassure his children that everything would be alright and to explain the situation to his son. Seeing Inuyasha perched in a high tree at the edge of the village he continued on his way, gathering more than enough meat to feed the entire village, which would only be going into the stomach of his child. Much to the human’s dismay.
“It’s insane not to share this amount of food!” Kagome complained. Earning nothing more than a glare from Sesshomaru.
Arashi, in his humanoid form, tore through a carcass quickly. “And you’re eating it raw! Oh my god!” Kagome screamed, causing Arashi to glare at her before continuing his conquest. The lord had made sure to hunt quite a ways out so the game of the village wouldn’t be frightened off.
“Don’t you think this is too much? There’s enough to feed the entire village.” Sango stated.
“Then it is unfortunate that they will go hungry. My son is injured and has to recover.” Sesshomaru stated simply, proudly watching as Arashi tore a slab of meat from a carcass and gave it to his baby sister who obviously wanted to eat as well. The humans weren’t feeding her enough and she was hungry. Sesshomaru didn’t want to leave them here until Inuyasha arrived but they still couldn’t see each other. No telling how hungry she’d gone when he first came upon them. He never understood why Inuyasha allowed himself to be mistreated as he was. The hanyou needed a lot more food than what he got. “Perhaps he hunted to supplement that.” Sesshomaru thought to himself.
“Kiki no don’t eat that!” Kagome approached his children and Sesshomaru let loose the most heart stopping growl since he’d arrived. Frightening the entire group as his docile demeaner dropped and causing Inuyasha to run over ready for a fight.
“Kagome, you should never approach youki children when they’re eating. Especially if a parent is present. They’ll instinctively see you as a threat.” Sango said as she pulled the girl away and Sesshomaru was still growling at her. Shippo was looking on in envy, Sesshomaru was sure they’d not be feeding the youki child youki food unless Inuyasha got involved in some way. He’d really have to inquire about the time before he was under the lord’s care through his and Inuyasha’s mating. The children had only made it through the first few carcasses and Kiki was struggling to break the hide on another with her tiny claws. Sesshomaru picked up the bore and tore it apart for her. Causing her to smile brightly which some of the onlooking humans backed away from. It must be creepy to see a little girl smile while covered in blood. Although Sesshomaru’s youkai was very delighted. Watching his children eat was an instinctual pleasure but it didn’t compare to watching your pregnant mate eat something you provided. He intended to watch his children devour it all but his eyes flickered back to the small kit. He was very small for his age, he shouldn’t be as tall as Kiki, he should be much bigger.
“Kit, you may join them if you wish.” He stated coldly, but the kit looked elated as Arashi began tearing off meat that was easier for them to eat. The smaller children wouldn’t eat the bones but Arashi left nothing. He was halfway through a deer, even devouring the fur. Inuyasha looked on in interest from his position with his friends, obviously feeling the pleasure of watching the children eat and enjoying the sight.
“Is he going to eat all of this?” He asked quietly.
“The smaller children won’t eat as much but since he’s been injured he’ll eat everything that’s left. Youki children in general need lots of fresh raw meat, or they won’t grow.” he said looking pointedly at the malnourished kit, “and they will die. Which is why they’re taught to hunt from a young age.” Sesshomaru explained, a small smile coming to his face as his daughter found and was delighted by the taste of the beast’s liver. The school girl watched in abhorrent horror as Shippo began wolfing down the raw flesh with gusto. “Kit, when is the last time you had raw meat?”
“Inuyasha always catches extra so me, him, and Kilala can eat it! So, I think 2 days ago.” Shippo said with his mouth full. Kagome and Miroku looked at the hanyou shocked. Kagome obviously disapproving.
“Hm, I thought so.” Sesshomaru commented.
“Oh my god, they’re going to get so sick…” Kagome gagged.
“It is obvious to see that you continuously forget that we are not human. Shippo is not human. Kiki is not human. My son is not human. Inuyasha is not human.”
“But he’s half human!”
Sesshomaru wanted to roll his eyes, “Regardless of that, Inuyasha has more in common with youki that he does humanity. Nothing that he does and none of his behaviors resemble that of a human’s, strange that you’ve not noticed that. If anything about him resembled humanity, he would have died long ago.”
Kagome looked at Inuyasha who was looking at his brother with a disbelieving look, “But Inuyasha doesn’t hurt innocent people anymore! He has a heart and he cares about people, he loves his friends.” Kagome argued back, Sesshomaru wondering what forces were giving her the courage to do so.
“Sure he does.” She was in for a very rude awakening when she met the fully grown Inuyasha, “You say that as if youki are incapable of such.” Sesshomaru said sarcastically. Had the girl met his youngest daughter? The little pup loved everything and had a smile for everyone.
“You said it yourself! He doesn’t want to see us because he misses us!” Kagome said triumphantly believing she’d put the lord in a corner.
Sesshomaru nearly smirked, “I never said he missed you.” Sesshomaru approached the group, stepping past the children putting the humans on guard. “Little girl, what gives you the courage to speak to me as if anyone of you could possibly defeat me. If Inuyasha is unable to defeat my younger self what makes you think he could defeat me over 700 years older. I could slaughter you all within seconds and there’d be nothing you could do about it. Make no mistake, I’m only tolerating you and your meaningless existences for the sake of Inuyasha.” With that he turned his back on them and continued watching his children.
“Inuyasha! You can’t just let him treat us like this!” Kagome complained. Inuyasha said nothing and simply watched the lords back. He knew he couldn’t take on the older lord but he also knew he could kick the youngers ass, after all he was the reason he was missing his left arm but right now, against the stronger lord, there wasn’t much of anything he could do. In a way the lord was right, his tendencies were much more youki like than humanlike but he’d spent more time with humans than youki which didn’t make sense. His head began to hurt and the villagers who’d gathered to complain weren’t helping either. Kiki stopped her feasting and latched onto the lord, when Shippo finished, Miroku and Sango had dragged Kagome into Kaede’s hut because she was causing a scene. Arashi transformed into his true form and snatched up the remained carcasses quickly before returning to his humanoid form with a satisfied sigh.
“Arashi. Go rest but understand that I will be leaving in a few days.” Sesshomaru watched his frowning son make his way into the hut of the old Miko, sharing the most awkward eye contact with his younger dad. Inuyasha’s eyes then found Sesshomaru’s once more before the lord left to sit at the edge of the village. The scent of the humans had been bugging him lately and he couldn’t stand to be in the village for much longer. Sesshomaru spent the rest of the day hunting and bringing food to his children who devoured every bit. By nightfall he was once more in the hut, watching his daughter fall asleep at his son’s side with whom she was speaking to quietly. He saw her give one last sleepy smile before sleep got the best of her. “Rest well, Kiki, Arashi.” The lord said before standing and leaving the hut.
He found himself walking a great distance pass the sacred tree. He walked for hours, lost in thought. His mate was feeling quite guilty and he knew why, but he wasn’t upset with the hanyou, not anymore. It took a while, but he eventually was able to forgive the hanyou. At the time, he was mainly upset with himself for not going back to his castle. Being bred really made it clear that he was considering being with the hanyou and it frightened and angered him. His youkai found his personality addictive and his confidence and power desirable. He sighed. “Why did our relationship change? How?” Inuyasha’s voice sounded behind him. He’d been so lost in thoughts of his mate, he hadn’t registered his scent.
Turning to face the hanyou, who looked emotionally worn, Sesshomaru said nothing. Their older selves were the reason for their mating, even though it took them a while longer to become closer. In all fairness Inuyasha marked him first so it was his fault, even if the younger him initiated it. “In short it’s your fault. It’s complicated because of time travel, but you felt the need to jump my younger self.”
“Jump?” Inuyasha asked, the modern term confusing him.
“Sex.” Sesshomaru stated plainly. The younger hanyou’s face changing to a bright red. “There’s no need to react in such a way Inuyasha. It’s nothing we haven’t already done.” His words made the blush deepen with the scowl Inuyasha was sporting.
“But you wouldn’t just let me.” Inuyasha stammered in disbelief.
“I would.” Sesshomaru replied. Inuyasha wasn’t looking at him but he could see his blushing face and wondered what the hormonal hanyou was currently thinking of as he eyes wandered the plains of the youki’s body. The lord smirked a bit as he knew the hanyou didn’t realize what he was doing. “If you’d like to, we can definitely have some fun of our own, Inuyasha.” He said sultry, flirting with the younger who took a quick step back and blushed to his ears and chest.
“U-um…that’s not what…” Inuyasha stuttered as he felt his youkai hazing his mind. “Y-you hate me!”
The lord rolled his eyes, “My emotions towards you currently are misguided, and I will apologize for them soon.” Sesshomaru didn’t know what else he could say to the young hanyou. He missed his mate and wanted to hold him close. Touch him. Be close to him. “Mate.” He began to slowly approach the hanyou, until he was standing before him. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around the hanyou. “Mate.” He whispered, feeling a shiver run up the hanyou’s body. Before he knew it, he’d captured the younger’s lips. He pulled away when he realized what he was doing, and Inuyasha was staring at him in shock. “I apologize...” Releasing the hanyou he took a step back, hoping it’d help he hanyou relax. “Mated pairs very rarely spend a lot of time away from one another…I miss you…a lot…Inuyasha?”
Tears had begun to fall from his eyes as he stared at the lord. “This…this isn’t fair.” Inuyasha began backing away from him. “This isn’t real. It’s Naraku…it has to be.” Uncharacteristically, Inuyasha ran away as Sesshomaru initially felt he would, but it wasn’t out of fear. The air scented of sadness and confusion.
Sesshomaru followed him for quite a while as Inuyasha ran full speed before the hanyou slowed down, tired. “Inuyasha.”
“Go away.”
Sesshomaru grabbed the hanyou and kissed him once more when he saw the tears pouring down his face. He felt horrible. To think his Inuyasha never wanted to talk about what happened between them because he’d cried. He felt horrid knowing that his mate was afraid to share such a sensitive thing with him. At least he was here. “There’s no need to cry Inuyasha, I’m sure it’s your hormones affecting how you feel right now. Do not worry. I am sorry.” Comforting Inuyasha was a lot different than comforting his children because of the ingrained insecurities he himself had placed in the hanyou’s mind. Giving him something to blame how he was reacting was his way of creating an out for the hanyou, so he didn’t feel so powerless. He kissed the hanyou once more before leading him back within the vicinity of the village. They made it to the sacred tree in the wee hours of the morning where Sesshomaru felt the urge to kiss the hanyou again and he did, with a whisper of his love. It was deep and breath taking. Inuyasha had never been kissed in such a way and found himself wanting more from the lord. Wanting the affection while it lasted. He heard a gasp and they turned to see Kagome standing there in shock. Sesshomaru was a bit pissed at himself and then a bit at Inuyasha. He had always had the ability to make him forget everything around him.
“So…is this why you keep running off?” She dropped the small bin of food she was carrying and rushed back towards the village.
Inuyasha began running after her but the strong grip on his arm prevented him from getting far. “I detest seeing you run after women.”
“But she’s…”
“She is what Inuyasha? I’m your mate, there should be no other more important than I and our children.” Sesshomaru stated, the intensity of it boring into Inuyasha.
“I get that but…but she’s my friend.”
“No, she is not and that is not how she sees you. She treats you worse than even I in this time.” Sesshomaru stated, seeing confusion then anger strike across the hanyou’s face. “At least my anger and malice was not hidden behind fake kindness. I would not speak sweet words to you then hurt you when you did or said something I did not like.” Sesshomaru said, fingering the beaded collar around the hanyou’s neck. “I hate seeing this around your neck Inuyasha. Even my younger self wishes for it to be removed.” With that he released his grip and Inuyasha still darted towards the village after Kagome. The older Sesshomaru felt his anger build and his youkai flared making his markings jagged and his eyes red. When Inuyasha made it to the hut, Arashi, Kiki, and Shippo were nowhere in sight but all eyes were on him as Kagome was crying to the group. The stares were making him uncomfortable.
“Well…I guess everything makes sense now.” Miroku stated into the tense air. “Kiki said only her parents and siblings were brought here so it makes sense…”
“I can’t believe you would do this to me Inuyasha! First Kikyo, and now your own brother!” Kagome cried.
“What the fuck are you on about? You always bring up Kikyo, why?” Inuyasha had never understood Kagome’s obsession with Kikyo.
“Inuyasha, Kagome is simply upset because of your, ahem, romantic promiscuity.” Miroku tried to mediate.
“What the hell are you talking about? Me and Kikyo were never like that. She was a fucking priestess you idiot. Do you know what that means?”
“Come on now Inuyasha, we all get it. It’s hard being with pretty women, and your first love.”
“Stop. I literally have no idea why the hell she’s so upset.”
“Inuyasha, how dense are you!?” Sango said in disbelief. Kagome’s tears increased and Inuyasha was not sure of how to deal with it.
Kaede made her presence known as she put on water for tea. “Youki experience romance differently from humans. It is much more instinctual, as they do not feel feelings of romance towards those they are unable to mate with. Inuyasha’s youki was never mature enough to see Kagome nor Kikyo as viable for a mate. I would have thought Sango would know much more as a demon slayer.” Kaede explained, she had everyone’s attention now. “Kagome is very young, and while she is an adult in our world, she is a mere child in her own. Her feelings have been misguided as she is young and inexperienced.”
“So, what! I’m old enough to know how I feel.” She cried.
“Inuyasha’s contact with the one who will be his mate in the future has more than likely solidified his youkai’s expectations.” Kaede explained, sending Kagome to her knees as she cried harder.
Inuyasha crossed his arms, “Ugh, you’d think I killed someone.” He was a bit weirded out by how Kagome saw him but it did explain the kisses. However, for him, they’d always felt platonic and he’d seen family kisses before and that’s what he saw them as. Then when compared to what he’d just experienced…they seemed very childish. Inuyasha blushed at his thoughts.
“Si-!” Kagome’s voice was cut off by a hand around her throat.
“I truly detest humans.” Sesshomaru said as he glared into her terrified brown eyes.
“Let her go!” Inuyasha shouted as the group was ready to attack.
“Hush.” He turned back to the girl, “When I release you, you will remove the beads from around his neck. He is not a pet to punish as you see fit. If you do not, I will travel through the well and kill your mother, your grandfather, your brother, and anyone else you hold dear. All that is necessary to travel through the well is the shards of the sacred jewel, which I can easily take from you.” He released her, “There is no one in this world currently, or in the future that can defeat me. Do as you’re told, child.” The child looked as if she would rebel, but with the sizzling of poison at the dog lord’s hands she was quick to move to Inuyasha and remove the kodoma. “Only an angry child would believe this was right.” Sesshomaru growled. Inuyasha felt a large weight lift from his shoulders. Everything looked a lot clearer, and he oddly felt a lot more stable. “It was incomplete, it was subjugating your youki, making it even more unstable.” With that the lord left the small hut as the schoolgirl cried sorrowfully. Inuyasha was uncomfortable in the space as he felt a lot of blame being shifted onto him which is what lead to him sitting by himself and watching Kagome’s hysterics.
“Inuyasha we can’t let him get away with threatening our friend and her family.” Miroku stated, sure of his words.
“What do you expect me to do? Not only is he apparently my mate, he’s stronger than the Sesshomaru here. There’s no way I could stop him. Besides, I was tired of that fucking thing. Being slammed into the dirt, fucking hurts.”
“But you’re half youki.” Kagome tried explaining, “You heal fast.”
“Crazy how I’m half youki or half human when it’s defending you, your words, or your actions Kagome. It. Fucking. Hurts.” Inuyasha felt himself becoming quite angry, and feeling much freer to speak his mind now that the threat was removed. “How do you think it feels to have my bones repeatedly broken? Or to have my teeth knocked out from hitting the ground. If I was human you’d never do that to me, but because I’m a half demon it’s okay. You’re just like the fucking people here Kagome! You treat me just like they do. You treat me worse!”
“Inuyasha! That’s harsh!” Miroku tried, but it was obvious the years of abuse were cumulating.
“Then you had the audacity, the actual audacity to think I wanted to be with you romantically. Man, ending up with my jackass of a brother really doesn’t seem so bad now that I think about if what you wanted were to come true. Constant agony.” Kagome was a mess with the way Inuyasha was tearing into her.
“I’m sorry Inuyasha…”
“Yeah well sorry ain’t good enough.” With that the hanyou left the hut and went to sit alone, in the sacred tree. It was weird without the weight of the beads of subjugation as he felt more like his own man again.
Back in the village, Sesshomaru was watching his son play with his daughter and Shippo. He was running them through basic training exercises, most of which Kiki already knew and Shippo was having fun learning. Arashi was very good with children because of his sisters. He himself, wanted to give the boy a brother as well, but Inuyasha hadn’t been keen on having another child. From where he sat he watched Inuyasha head back into the woods. He’d heard quite a bit of what had occurred and thought it best to give him space. His eyes lingered at the spot Inuyasha disappeared he wanted to comfort the boy, he wanted his mate near him, and only looking at him.
()()()()()()()()()()()()
Things were starting to feel a bit bleak for the older Inuyasha. The younger version of his mate was still following him and feeling sour and the older version was feeling longing and sadness. Inuyasha didn’t think it was fair that he was stuck in this predicament. He really wanted to see his mate but now he was heading for the village, full of all his old memories, and his mate wouldn’t even be there. “Daddy are you okay?” Sairin asked from her position on his shoulders.
“Yeah puppy I’m fine.” Inuyasha smiled.
“Whatcha thinking about daddy?” Sairiu asked from his side.
“Your papa.” He answered.
“Do you wanna see papa soon? I wanna see papa.” Sairin questioned making Inuyasha feel a bit more put out and sad, especially since the twins favored the youki.
Inuyasha frowned a bit, “Yeah, I want to see him very soon…but when we get to the village he’ll be gone.” Inuyasha groaned loudly. “I don’t want to go to that village.”
“But Arashi-shi is there and Kiki too!” Sairiu reminded him, happy to see her siblings once more.
“Yeah that’s true! So, I’ll perk up and we’ll all have fun until your papa comes back, ne?” Inuyasha said actively, even though he was in a bad mood.
From afar, Sesshomaru watched the older more powerful Inuyasha chat with the young pups. He couldn’t believe that Inuyasha could ever become such a being, he refused to. This Inuyasha was on an entirely different level, there was no other explanation than him being from another world, not the future. The Inuyasha of his world was weak, a mere bug in the scheme of things and would be removed when the lord saw fit. He would never amount to an inkling of what he and his father were and could never hope to. That’s what the lord thought but there was a nagging “but what if” in the far reaches of his mind that he was actively trying to push down and destroy. From what he was getting from the accursed marking left on his body, the hanyou was feeling very horrid. It was bothersome to have another’s emotion impeding on your own. He watched as one of the little girls ran back to him, from what he could tell it was the mean twin, Sairin. Rin waved enthusiastically when the girl approached her. “Why do you follow my papa around? Don’t you have your own parents?” Rin paused, and her mood clearly went into the ground.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the bold, inconsiderate girl. Inuyasha was with them in a moment and without any hesitation, hit the girl on the head, as he’d seen him do to the kit in his pack, causing her to cry. Sairiu watched from behind her dad shaking her head at her sister’s misstep but the damage was already done as Rin smiled as her tears ran down her face, “Rin’s mama and papa went to heaven…”
Picking his daughter up by her obi as she cried, he placed her on Sesshomaru’s two headed dragon, Ah-Un that was trailing behind Sesshomaru and Jaken. “Stop crying.” The young girl’s tears stopped, and she sniffled. “Why do you think that was an okay thing to do?”
“I don’t know…” She replied tearfully.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her, “Well then you’re gonna sit by yourself until you figure it the hell out.” The girl burst into tears once more, but he only moved to comfort the small human girl who probably hadn’t received a hug in a long time. “Hey hun, don’t cry alright. Everything will be okay. You got to follow Sesshomaru around for a whole bunch of years before you wanted to get married. You’re gonna be fine, okay?”
“Really!?” The small human perked up, immediately brimming with happiness as she ran off to play.
They continued walking for a few more hours before Inuyasha stopped. “I think now’s a good stopping point. I’m not looking forward to going to the village.” Inuyasha sighed, ignoring his daughter as she cried for him, but knowing she wouldn’t dare move from the place he put her. Sairiu ran off to play with Rin near a few fruit trees that has a multitude of flowers growing at the bases. “Jaken go make sure they don’t do anything they shouldn’t.”
“You don’t get to order me around han-!” Jaken scurried off when he saw the glare he was being given. Inuyasha sighed and went to move his daughter to a different place so the dragon could graze freely. He set her at the base of a tree with a stern look, before jumping into the branches and relaxing. She eventually stopped crying and sat tearful and bored. Inuyasha looked at her and became pissed off. The only reason she was like that was because of Sesshomaru and he’d definitely get an earful when they finally saw each other once more. He was careless in the things he said to their children which gave them all sorts of anxieties and misdirected them from the type of people Inuyasha was trying to raise them to be. Arashi was on track but his anxiety about his appearance and his habit of comparing himself to his parents was ridiculous and holding him back. The purpose of having long hair was to protect the neck and back, shiro inu hair was as strong as steel. While his two middle children had shorter haircuts, it was only because of a prank. Usually their short, bobbed hair was long and very curly, but a prank by Arashi made for his dad resulted in the two crying quite fitfully, a lot of scolding, and cutting of the little princess’s hair. Needless to say, Arashi was still being punished because of the loss of some of the girl’s defense.
As the noon neared night, he hopped down and went to hunt for the children, he happened upon some boars and brought them back. Giving two to his daughters to eat on their own he took the last, smaller one, and cut it up before roasting it on the fire for Rin. When the children were full, he devoured everything that was left before grabbing his daughters and jumping into a tree. The two fell asleep quickly with his scent.
When morning arrived, Inuyasha felt his stomach turn before he jumped down with the girls, startling them he set them down before turning to vomit. “Ah shit, I knew it.”
“Daddy are you okay?” The girls asked together.
“Yeah I’m okay Saisai.” He nodded before sighing heavily. He noticed the younger Sesshomaru watching him from afar. Obviously curious. What a brat. He thought to himself.
“Why did daddy throw up?” Sairiu asked, holding on to his hand before hugging his leg.
He would prefer to tell his family all together as he did with Kiki, but he shrugged and knelt down. “Well you remember when daddy was sick before?”
The two nodded before Sairin’s eyes widened in realization, “Daddy’s gonna ‘ave another baby!?” She squealed happily.
Sairiu’s eyes widened but she frowned. “I don’t want daddy to have another baby…” He picked her up and kissed her cheek, she had taken Kiki’s birth hard too because she was use to being the youngest and getting all the attention even when her twin picked on her. When he wasn’t as available to the fragile young girl she threw a temper tantrum for the first time in a long time. It took her quite a while to become close to the new baby.
“Well that’s not fair, when Arashi learned he was going to get you two he was very happy and promised to be the best big brother ever. Don’t you think the new baby is gonna need the best big sister’s?” He was trying to get her more into the idea.
“No…” She whined.
“You definitely get this from your father.” He commented. He then wondered how Kiki would react to the idea of a new baby and was starting to look forward to heading to the village. It’d been a few days since they started and they would make it there by nightfall. “I think the baby will be sad and cry a lot since its big sister doesn’t want to take care of them.”
“No...” She started crying.
“Sweetheart come on, why don’t you want daddy to have another baby?” He asked exasperated. Feeling like Sesshomaru was to blame in some way. As he said before, the youki wasn’t careful with his words.
“Sairiu doesn’t wanna share papa and daddy anymore. ‘Cause papa and daddy are always busy and never around.” Sairin stated after a while.
Well they had been very busy dealing with that witch and tried to be home as much as they could. Sesshomaru was running the country and Inuyasha was hunting the witch and all of her subordinates. He acted very much like an assassin for the country. “Well thank you for telling me, when we go home daddy’ll be around a lot more, just for you all, okay? Daddy promises.” He made it a pinky promise and could tell his daughter felt leagues better. They then set out with Sesshomaru’s group trailing behind, but Inuyasha reminded Sairin that she was not off the hook yet and would be punished properly when they arrived home.
Inuyasha caught Sesshomaru staring at him and felt his confusion, anger, incredulity, and just a tad happiness. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his narcissistic assumption. Inuyasha assumed he could have been pregnant before they were sucked here. It was a few days after the season, which he and Sesshomaru spent every moment tangled together. “I was already pregnant dumbass.” Sesshomaru could only glare at the hanyou’s back.
“How many children are there?” The stoic lord asked a bit later.
“4. I thought the brats told you already.” Inuyasha replied. “Arashimaru is the oldest. Then Sairin, and Sairiu. Kiki is the baby, you’re really gonna love her. One boy, three girls.”
“Ha, a hanyou could only give my lord one boy! Mi’lord could do much better.” Jaken squawked from the supposed safety of Sesshomaru’s side but Inuyasha merely started laughing.
“Oh please, I’ve only been pregnant once before, and that was with the youngest, and there’s nothing wrong with our daughter’s so watch your mouth toad.” Inuyasha pointedly glared. He felt Sesshomaru’s shock, “Hey not my fault. You’re just easier to impregnate.” Sesshomaru stopped and Inuyasha turned to see him looking a bit paler and his hand twitch, wanting to bring it to his stomach. “You’re not pregnant. I promise. Time will go as it should and that won’t happen for another 500-600 years or more or something.” Inuyasha felt the lord relax, “You know for it not to show on your face, you’re a mess with your emotions.”
“Does the younger Inuyasha know about this?” Sesshomaru asked as they began on their way once more. They were a few miles away from the village now and Inuyasha was getting anxious.
“By now, I should.” Inuyasha sighed. Walking towards the sacred tree Inuyasha was shocked to see himself standing there. The younger hanyou turned around and his eyes widened when they saw his current group.
“What the fuck…?” They said in unison. Shocking both the older and younger Inuyasha. The older Inuyasha’s head became a bit fuzzy as he felt like his memories were being rewritten. The older Inuyasha shook his head and continued on into the village. His mate had changed something. His group passed the younger Inuyasha, the younger Sesshomaru and he shared a prolonged eye contact. It was weird. For the first time, the young Inuyasha saw uncertainty in the lord’s eyes. It shocked him enough to leave him staring as they made their way back to the village.
When the older Inuyasha made it into the village. He hadn’t anticipated Kagome coming out and yelling at him. She was so much tinier than he remembered her being. He rolled his eyes at her rant and pushed her down. “You should pay more attention to who you’re talking to wench.” Stepping over her and passed his shocked friends he made his way to the clearing where the rest of his children were located. His friends were looking at him in shock. Noting how tall he’d become and how he looked every bit the demon lord that he had become. Sesshomaru was nowhere in sight. Inuyasha could feel his aura fading fast as he realized he’d come a lot earlier than anticipated, and that it was definitely his fault. He sighed heavily as his memories finally settled, as he was glad that his younger self darted after the lord when he felt him leaving. His son and daughter greeted him with hugs immediately. “Are you okay?” Inuyasha asked, looking his son over.
“Yeah, m’fine….” His son’s hug was a bit longer than usual but the hanyou didn’t mind, he was happy to see his son safe and healthy. The boy then hugged his other sisters and asked them if they were okay. They could see the younger Sesshomaru standing quite far away as he refused to enter the human village.
