A/N: Hey everyone!

Sorry if it�s been taking me a long time to update lately... I have had no energy lately, and my muses have disappeared. Luckily enough, I think they�re starting to return (slowly but surely) so I thought I�d put up another chapter just for you guys!
Don�t you feel special now? ^_^

Nursing

To say everyone was shocked would�ve been an understatement.
Shocked was so far behind them, it was nothing but a pinprick in the distance that was quickly disappearing.
No, they weren�t shocked.
Whatever they were, however, was enough to make even Sesshomaru�s mouth open slightly, and he was forced to look between the pups the humans were coddling, to the on in his mate�s arms just to make certain he wasn�t seeing things.
On the one hand, he had two silver-haired males that were, quite clearly, his own. Although one might mistake the elder on as being their father�s if not told otherwise, but that was beside the point.
On the other hand... he had a raven-haired female with dog ears that was, quite clearly, not his own.
And, the first thing his mind could come up with once it came out of it�s numb stupor was �How the hell did Inuyasha manage that?�

The little girl was... beautiful. At least as far as babies went anyway. Her skin was deathly pale though-- even more so than that or her two brother�s, the younger of which was making strange noises in Rin�s arms and wriggling about almost as much as he had when Sesshomaru had held him.
�Sesshomaru.� Inuyasha said softly, his voice a harsh whisper that strained against the former silence, drawing Sesshomaru�s dark, cold gaze toward him.
Inuyasha swallowed heavily under the weight of that gaze.
They had... agreed what would happen if something like this came around... but... he didn�t think either of them truly believed that it would have... And inside him, his youki was in a frenzy, caught between getting rid of this thing that it perceived could be a potential threat to it�s offspring, and destroying this abomination that was clearly a stain on his mate�s name and a disgrace to himself as well, shrilling angrily about how he had bourn another demon�s child...
And Inuyasha didn�t know what to do... he could feel Sesshomaru�s youki pulsating, clearly caught in a battle similar to his own... and it grew stronger with ever pulse, making him shiver and want to pull away.
The human side of him forced him to shield the child in his arms slightly from the youkai in front of him, and he pressed back slightly into the pillows behind his head.
And perhaps things would have gotten very out of control and awkward indeed if, at that moment, Rin hadn�t let out a small, startled cry of pain.
Gazes shifted toward the girl, and with them went their owners attention as they stared at the ningen, who was cradling the pup slightly away from her body with one arm, the other pressing against her breast, a rather furious blush staining her cheeks.
�H-he bit me!� She said softly, shock clearly written in her face and on her voice as the child continued to worm about in her grip, small angry whines tearing free from his throat.
�He�s hungry.� Kaede said, observing the pup with one eyebrow raised. �He wishes to eat.�
Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow, while both of Inuyasha�s own shot straight up and all but disappeared into his hair. �And what do you propose we feel him?� The full Inuyoukai inquired, scepticism clear in his voice. �Inuyasha clearly has no breasts for him to nurse from.�
�Yeah, I can�t exactly... do that.� Inuyasha said, gesturing over at Rin, his own blush rising up on his face as hers flames and brightened another notch.
Takehiko barely held back a small laugh at their antics and shook her head.
�No one expects you to, Inuyasha.� The old healer said. �I would expect Sesshomaru to know something like this, since he is a demon, but perhaps he would not remember.� She looked at Sesshomaru, who fixed with a cold glare of sorts, and then back at the hanyou. �Inuyasha, demons do not have the same eating patterns as humans, or even half-demons. Your pups will likely feed the same way normal demons do. Off of blood.�
Inuyasha�s eyes widened comically as he looked up at the healer and the miko in blatant disbelief.
His mouth opened and closed several times as he did his best impression of a landed fish-- trying to think of some sort of response he could give to that.
After all, how was he supposed to respond after learning his newborn pups were little vampires in the making?
A loud, and rather high-pitched sort of noise reached Inuyasha�s ears, making them twitch slightly in response, which he supposed was supposed to be a growl, and his wide eyes swivelled over toward the pup now squirming wildly and making it quite the challenge for Rin to hold onto him.
�I think you better feed him, Inuyasha.� Takehiko said, amusement plain in her voice and eyes. �He sounds like he might carry out that threat.�
Inuyasha stared blankly at her a moment, and then his ears pressed back as his eyebrows drew up at the centre. �B-but I... don�t know... how...� He said, gesturing around helplessly. Or as much as he could with the little girl still cradled safely in his arms.
�You may not.� Takehiko said with a small nod of acknowledgement as she reached out to take the fretting male from Rin. �He does. Let him figure it out.� That said, she moved to stand next to the bed and held the wailing boy out to Inuyasha.
The hanyou looked at the pup being offered to him, to the one in his arms several times, before giving a small nod, as if deciding something, and holding the small female out toward Sesshomaru.
There was a pause in which nothing happened, and then Inuyasha narrowed his eyes slightly.
�Hold your daughter, Sesshomaru.� He said quietly, his voice steady, but with an underlaying tone of venom-- the same sort of which was sparking just beneath the surface of his eyes. A blatant challenge. Inuyasha was silently daring Sesshomaru not to take the pup. Daring him to live up to his word...
And, as had happened before during the rape, Sesshomaru could practically see Inuyasha�s world crumbling down in his eyes as he hesitated a moment more to take the creature held out to him.
And he realised suddenly that, as much as it would hurt them both, Inuyasha would defend and go away with the pups if Sesshomaru so much as thought to cast them out or harm even one of them.
Not that he really was, but part of his youki was horrified and in a snarling rage that he would keep alive another man�s pup-- a pup that had been forced unwanted upon his mate in the most brutal of ways, and that his mate was now daring him to turn away.
Pushing that side of his demon away, Sesshomaru reached out, slowly, deliberately, his eyes never leaving those of his mate as his long claws came up to wrap around the small pup and steal her away from his mate.
The look that flickered across Inuyasha�s face was one so full of relief it was almost staggering to see, as Sesshomaru held the small girl in his arms much the same way he had with the two males, leaving Inuyasha free to finally take the bawling and growling pup Takehiko was still holding.
�Shit!� Inuyasha mumbled as the male slashed his tiny claws in the general direction of the hanyou�s hands that were holding him captive, and glaring up at the tiny pup. �He�s grumpier than you are, Sesshomaru!�
The youkai fixed Inuyasha with a cold look as the small female snuggled back into his arms, one of her tiny claws coming up to tangle in the fur of the pelt he carried on his shoulder. �You will refrain from using that language in front of the pups, Inuyasha.� He said firmly, his eyes as cold as steel, and immediately everyone felt some of the previous tension slip away from the room as the two brother�s began to add more paternal notes to themselves.
�It would seem things are back to normal.� Takehiko said softly to Rin, who nodded. �Whatever normal is around here.� She murmured back, holding down a giggle as she watched Inuyasha raise his eyebrows at his brother.
The hanyou opened his mouth to reply to his mate, but all that ended up coming out was a small yelp (more of surprise than pain) and his eyes widening immensely as he glanced down at the pup he was holding.
The male had, seemingly tired of waiting for it�s �mother� to figure things out, latched firmly onto one of Inuyasha�s nipples, his tiny fangs digging firmly into the aereola as he proceeded to suck up the blood welling there, his small tongue lapping happily at the crimson liquid, while one of his claws dug firmly into Inuyasha�s chest, as though trying to make certain he wouldn�t pull away.
Silence fell over the room as everybody watched the pup �nursing� from Inuyasha, each with a different expression on their face.
Takehiko seemed rather pleased with this development-- as though she had been waiting for this to happen all along, and couldn�t quite understand why it had taken so long for it to happen in the first place.
Yuko was smiling excitedly, and all but bouncing where she stood-- making the pup she still held twist his tiny face up in open displeasure as he tried to get the idiotic human to remain still so he could resume sleeping.
Rin looked caught between imitating Yuko and nervous uncertainty, while Kaede was simply watching passively and Sesshomaru... well, the only expression Inuyasha could describe that was currently on his face would have to be awe... which was really quite the site to see, and if he wasn�t busy watching his pup with a similar expression, he probably would have gaped openly at Sesshomaru for that.
The moment of silence and calmness as everybody watched the pup was broken by a loud knock of sorts, causing everyone in the room to jump slightly, before a look of surprise crossed Takehiko�s ancient features and she quickly moved over to slide the door open and allow a rather anxious looking Izayoi and slightly exhausted Inu Taisho inside.
It was highly likely that the dog demon had to physically restrain his frantic wife repeatedly from bursting in on her son , so it was no wonder he looked slightly strained... Still, Inuyasha couldn�t help but offer him a thankful sort of smile... he really didn�t want to have had to deal with his mother when he was giving birth...
�Inuyasha, are you alright, we were so worried, but Takehiko said we could not come in--� His mother began as she rushed over to his side, only to stop halfway as she caught the sight of blood.
His blood.

Everywhere.
On the sheets, on the towels, on the clothes, on nearly every female in the room... on her son�s body.
Izayoi stopped, taking a deep breath and forcing herself to remember how it had been during Inuyasha�s own birth, her eyes moving instead to focus on the child in her son�s arms.
Izayoi stared at the tiny, silver-haired pup for a moment in awe as it continued to greedily suckle at her son�s chest, before she seemed to stiffen slightly, and then turned to examine everyone else in the room, her eyes lingering for long moments on Yuko and Sesshomaru and the pups in their arms.
Inuyasha looked up at his parents a moment, wincing slightly as his youngest son withdrew his sharp little fangs, yawning widely and contentedly as he began to fall asleep in his father�s arms, and then offering his parents a soft sort of half-smile.
�Mother. Father.� He said slowly, drawing the pup away from his abused chest that was working as fast as it could to heal over the punctures his son had made. �Come say hello to your grandchildren.�

A/N: Okay, if anyone�s wondering �Why the hell are the pups drinking blood?� I�ll give you my theory on that. Sesshomaru said way back on that episode where he meets Rin �You�re energy is wasted, I don�t eat human food.� Which, of course, got me thinking, if they don�t eat human food, what do they eat? Snowfall pointed out an interesting fact that demons eat humans in some actual Japanese histories, but I didn�t think that would quite work out here, so I reworked that idea and just came up with blood instead. Gomen to anyone whose creeped out, but they are demons and dogs after all... ^_^ Lol.
-Juukai - Lol, you�re absolutely right! I have absolutely no idea who you are! But, in retrospect(<-- is that the right word?) I very much doubt you have any idea who I am either. ^_^ I guess that would make us even then, neh? ^_^ -- Lol, you started reading it on a whim, eh? Well that�s usually the best way to start something-- the things you try out on whims usually end up being the best. Unless, of course, they�re the worst... But anyway, that�s not the point. ^_^ It�s good to know that you�re enjoying my story (even if the chapters are short... I suppose that just makes the story that much longer though, neh? ^_^) and that you don�t think I go OOC. I hate it when I go OOC. Especially if I�ve got no logical reason for doing so. >_< Lol, anyway, as I was saying, it�s great to know you�re enjoying the story, and can�t wait for the updates! Hopefully I�ll be able to keep them coming steadily enough to keep you satisfied, neh? ^_^
-ArchNemesis - Lol, really? Lol, well, since you�re a person who actually has children, I�m gonna take that to mean that I was accurate with my depicition of the birthing. ^_^ Lol, yeah, I am sure I�ve never been through that (it�d be pretty scary if I wasn�t sure, neh? ^_^) I mostly just based this chapter on instinct and a little bit of research I did. I actually had most of it written out (only maybe missing a bit of work at the ending) and then Snowfall started talking to me about the placenta (which I had completely forgotten about, so that�s in there thanks to her ^_^) and mother�s sometimes needing help pushing out the baby, so I do owe her some of the credit for this. ^_^ Lol, and of course Inuyasha wanted to kill Sesshomaru! I mean, honestly, what respectable mother doesn�t want to kill their husbands? Especially when they�re giving birth. ^_~ -- Ugh! You watched a video of that? *shudders* All I did was some online research, and I got a little freaked out just from that... must hurt like all hell. Bleagh! Lol, definitely made me want to put it off for a good while yet. ^_^ Lol. -- The girl pup isn�t Naraku�s?... Hm. Well, if you say so... ^_^ Lol, I�m not gonna be the one to tell you that though... I have to disagree though-- I can�t really see how the girl being Naraku�s would be bad for someone like Shippo. Or, hell, even Naraku himself. ^_^ -- Lol, yeah, I had to end it there. Not only was I waaay to tired to go any further at that point in the chapter, but it made for a damn good cliffhanger, don�t ya think? ^_^ Lol.
Well that�s it for now.
It�s a beautiful day outside though, and I�ve been locked up for the past week, so I think I might go and get some fresh air now...
Ciao!
