Inuyasha regretted his decision. "Who does shit like this?" He wondered aloud. "I'm not some fucking chick, ugh this is embarrassing." Inuyasha ran a stressed hand through his hair. It'd been 5 days since he'd been forced to move to the castle, though he still worked. The lord had delivered a few thousand roses to his work place, they coated everything. Inuyasha stared at the mess, the lord was over the top. Things like this were not necessary, he felt a headache coming on as his employees laughed their hearts out.
The worse one was Kouga as he howled in amusement. "Doesn't he have a job or a fucking hobby! Damn this is too good!"
"Shut the fuck up bastard! This is your fucking fault. 'Oh, Inuyasha you should just go for it, what do you have to lose?' I hate you." Inuyasha growled as he tore down the roses with his claws. Inuyasha eventually gave up on tearing them all down and ordered his employees to get to work. At the end of his work day he headed back to the castle, which was around a 45min drive away
When he arrived at the castle and passed clearance at the gate, he stretched and headed to his room to clean up, however, he was stopped on his way. "Lord Inuyasha, may I speak with you."
Inuyasha stretched, "Yeah, what?" Inuyasha observed the alpha sigh, wondering what he could possibly want. There was the longest silence before the young alpha turned beet red and looked at his feet. "I wanted to ask you out!?" He nearly shouted, slightly startling the hanyou.
"Um, well, thanks for the offer but I've already agreed to seeing someone…" Inuyasha stated awkwardly, then remembered why he wish he hadn't. "Sorry man."
"It's alright…I sort of expected it. You are a really powerful beta…My name is Hiroki by the way, my lord." He said with a bow.
"Don't call me lord. It's been getting annoying." Inuyasha scoffed.
"As you wish." Hiroki smiled. Inuyasha took in the alpha. Kuroinuyouki, tall, quite handsome. Someone would snatch the young alpha easily, Inuyasha gestured for the inu to follow him into the castle.
"So, what exactly do you do around here?" He asked, still trying to figure castle life out.
"Well, I am a 7th rank, class 1, meaning I could be tasked with duties such as guarding yourself and the children, escorting, sent on recon missions, and things like that." Hiroki explained, watching the face of the shorter male.
"Oh okay, so things of high importance, how many ranks are there?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"There are 14 in class 1, 17 in class 2, and 12 in class 1." Hiroki explained after thinking about it.
"So, you must be pretty powerful then huh?" Inuyasha smirked at the youki's blushing face. "How old are you?"
Hiroki smiled, "I am happy to say that you and I are the same age."
"We're pretty young to be ranked so high man," Inuyasha snorted, hoping to catch the youki in a lie.
"Not if you have the skill to back it up, I've been training since I was very young." Was Hiroki's reasoning.
"Daddy!" Was Inuyasha's daughter's shrill voice. She came pattering down the hall with two guards trailing her looking exhausted.
"Kiki, it isn't nice to wear the guards out. She's been slipping you guys, hasn't she? Come on there are two of you for crying out loud." Inuyasha stated. He knew when someone lost his daughter, they were usually overly tired and flushed. Inuyasha sighed, and began to pay attention to his babbling daughter."
"Me and Monshi jumped into the pond to play with the fishes, then we got into the kitchen and ate a bunch of paste-trees, then we climbed the taaaaaalllllesssstttt tree, and daddy! It started talking to Kiki! Then I ate a lot of fruit and played with new toys father got me!"
Inuyasha noted how well the private lessons were helping her stop speaking in the third person. This language didn't accept that like her mother tongue did. "Sounds like you had a very fun day sweetheart." She nodded enthusiastically. Inuyasha noted that she didn't mention Sairiu, "What about Saisai, did you play with her today?"
A frown marred her face instantly, "Saisai doesn't want to be Kiki's friend anymore." Kiki extended her arms in a plea to be picked up.
"Aw, princess I'm sure that's not true." Hiroki tried to comfort the girl. He'd been in charge of the girls at one point and thought they were pretty cute and got along very well. Although, children often had their fights and resolved them easily.
"Have you told Saisai that that makes you sad." Inuyasha asked.
Kiki shook her head no, "She always runs away from me." Kiki's eyes became large and tearful.
One of the guards, a beta from what he could tell awed before being elbowed by the other. "What? She makes me want a daughter."
"I want a son." The other rolled his eyes.
"Are you two mates?" Inuyasha questioned, rubbing the back of his saddened daughter.
"Yes, my lord!" The beta male answered.
"What are your names?" Inuyasha asked, he wanted to get to know the people assigned to his daughter.
"I am Mizuko and this is my mate Nagisa." The alpha explained.
"Listen, don't be afraid to tell Kiki not to do something. If she's tiring you out, she must be overly excited and it isn't good for her, she could make herself sick. I glad she's having fun but she's still very young and should be guided." Looking down as his daughter, "Maybe you need a nanny or something. Come on let's go make up with Sairiu." The four inu and beast puppy made their way to the playroom where Sairiu's scent was the strongest. When Inuyasha entered the room her eyes lit up, but when she saw the puppy she begged a guard to pick her up. "Ohhh." Inuyasha nodded, finally understanding. Setting Kiki on her feet, "Saisai is scared of Monshi."
Kiki looked at her puppy, "Why?"
"People can be afraid of things that you aren't afraid of. Saisai isn't scared of the dark but you are. Do you get it?" Inuyasha explained. Kiki nodded. "Can one of you hold the puppy?" Hiroki picked it up and petted it.
Inuyasha picked Kiki up and sat on the floor with her in his lap. "Sairiu come here, I'm going to show you something neat." Sairiu was set down and she peddled over into a hug Inuyasha had waiting for her before sitting beside him. "You know you and Kiki are puppies, right?" Sairiu nodded, fiddling with her hands. "You can become puppies just like Monshi, do you want to see?"
Sairiu looked up, then over at Monshi, nodding a little bit. Inuyasha smiled and stood with Kiki away from Sairiu. He wouldn't let her grow to her actual size, she'd be around the same size as Monshi. Feeding her his youki, Kiki's eyes bled red and her form glowed a brilliant white. When the light dissipated, she was left in her inu form. She barked and yipped and bounced around excitedly, her golden puppy eyes full of joy. Sairiu's eyes were wide and she pointed to herself, "You'll be able to do it too, but I'm not sure when. You have to ask your father." He explained. Kiki bounded over to Sairiu, cuddling her closely. With Kiki's familiar scent she relaxed and pet pointed puppy ears. Kiki whined in approval. Hiroki put Monshi on her feet and the pup raced to Kiki, the two began to nip and play.
"Me too!" Sairiu frowned, upset that she couldn't play too. Inuyasha couldn't help her change because he wasn't her parent. It could be dangerous if anyone but a parent tried to make the transformation happen."
"Aw, c'mon Mizuko, look at them. Daughters are so cute! I can't wait to have a litter! Seeing cute little inu pups running around." Nagisa gushed. Mizuko rolled his eyes, hiding his blush as he too thought about when their own family would grow. The two bowed and took their leave when Inuyasha gave them permission to do so.
"I think I shall go as well, it was very nice speaking with you today my lord." Hiroki bowed.
"Inuyasha."
"W-what?" Hiroki stammered.
"Call me Inuyasha." He smiled. Hiroki nodded and bowed once more before leaving with a blush staining his pale cheeks.
Inuyasha had been following the pups around for the better part of an hour before crossing paths with the lord of the castle. He was in traditional wear and looked a bit worn out. "Hi father!"
"I see you and the puppy have become close." He noted, only seeing that she was holding a white puppy. However, Monshi jumped from the hanyou's side shocking Sesshomaru who merely stared at both puppies. "She is able to transform?" The lord knelt and picked Kiki up from Sairiu's arms. "Hello Kiki, aren't you quite extraordinary." Kiki yipped in response.
"Father me too!" Sairiu begged, pulling on his clothing.
"You are not yet capable of transforming Sairiu. When you are older." He explained.
The young girl teared up and began to cry. "Sairiu too!"
Inuyasha picked the sobbing girl up, "Hey it's okay, everything will be alright. I can't change either."
"Really?" The tearful girl questioned.
"Yeah, really. So, don't be sad, you'll be able to soon. Everyone is different, ne?" He smiled and received a smile and a hug. "Kiki, time to change back and get ready for dinner." The pup barked in Sesshomaru's arms.
Placing a hand on her head, which she nuzzled into, Inuyasha fed her his youki until she was back in her humanoid form. "I'm a little girl again!" She giggled happily. The small family then headed to a small dining area to eat.
"You seem tired." Inuyasha noted to the lord.
"There is a lot of paperwork as of late. You went to work today?" Sesshomaru responded, watch as his daughter ate a strip of raw venison.
Inuyasha's face flushed, "Why would you do something like that? It was so embarrassing."
"Then it was perfect." The lord responded nonchalantly.
"My shop looks like a float." Inuyasha groaned.
"Would you like to accompany me tonight?" Sesshomaru asked after a moment.
"Where to?"
"Out." Was the lord's simple response. Inuyasha's face dusted a light pink before simply nodding, wondering what the lord had planned for the two of them.
After putting the girls to sleep, Inuyasha stood in front of his massive wardrobe in order to find something to wear. He had about as much fashion sense as a toddler. Rolling his eyes, he ended up calling Kagome who had been asleep. "I have a date today and I don't know what to wear."
Kagome sat up and rubbed her tired eyes, "What are you guys doing?"
Inuyasha frowned, "I don't know, he just said out."
Kagome made a sound of understanding, "I hate it when people do that." She groaned, "It's too vague. You could be going out to eat, movies, nature walk, city spree, anything. Ugh." She prided herself on being able to dress anyone for any type of event. "Well maybe we can make them change their mind about location based on what you wear…" She paused and had a thought, "How do they usually dress? Wait who are you going on a date with?" She was suddenly curious.
Inuyasha sighed, "Sesshomaru, he's always dressed pretty formally. Kagome, I don't wanna wear a suit."
"Fine fine, dark jeans, button up and a vest or blazer should be enough. You could always take off the blazer or vest to look a lot more casual. Nice shoes though." She knew what the hanyou looked good it, and casual always suited him a lot better when keeping in mind who he was.
"Thanks, you're the best." Inuyasha smirked as he pulled out the clothing.
"I know Inuyasha, tell me how it goes later."
"Alright, get some sleep. I know you've been staying up every night because of the orders you've been getting from nobles and royals and stuff. Don't let them stress you out." Once it was confirmed that Kagome had been behind Kiki's dresses the nobles started placing very expensive orders. Her small business had gone international in the span of 3 hours. He was proud of her and knew she'd do well.
"Yeah yeah, bye ya ya." The phone clicked and he put his cell phone on the charger as he showered and then dressed. Leaving his hair down, he exited his room and made his way to the front of the castle where Sesshomaru waited, dressed impeccably. Kagome had made the right call. Sesshomaru gave him a rare smirk and led him to classic vehicle. Inuyasha gushed embarrassingly over the car. He'd restored one but not to the freshness that this one had. It was practically new, and Inuyasha could see how well it was taken care of.
"Wow, when and where?" Inuyasha was impressed. He couldn't care less for extravagant gifts but when he saw a car like this he lost it.
Sesshomaru smirked, remembering the conversation he and Kiki had when the young pup had wandered into his office while hiding from her guards.
A tiny head peaked into his office, Sesshomaru said nothing as the pup had not yet noticed his presence. Her puppy, Monshi, did. It bounded to him and barked at his feet. When Kiki noticed, him she gave a large smiled, not at all intimidated by the lord who was watching her. Had she been another youki, they would have surely dropped to their knees in tears, begging for their life. Kiki, however, simply skipped to him and climbed into his lap. "Hi father!" She smiled happily.
"Hello little one." The lord smiled, she looked exactly like her father.
"What're ya doin'?" She asked as her father might've.
"I'm planning a date." He answered.
"A date?" She asked with a tilt of her cute puppy ears.
"Yes. What does your daddy like?" The little girl could prove very useful in his winning her dad's heart and finally mating the hanyou.
"Daddy likes cars! Wreally ol' cars! Like wreally wreally ol' cars!" She explained while falling into a fit of giggles that had the cold lord smiling as well.
"Old cars?"
"Daddy likes pretty ol's cars. It's his favorite thing!" She beamed happily.
"Thank you very much pup." The young girl had been helpful indeed. He knew exactly what he and Inuyasha would be doing tonight.
Sesshomaru got in the driver's seat and Inuyasha joined him in the passenger's seat. "No way are we taking this out!" He exclaimed. This car needed to be on display in a case of some sort, it was the first car to ever allow for a youki to use their youki to power the car. While it could run on gas that wasn't was it was made for and it was best to use youki. It ran smoother and it could go as far as the strength of the youki could take them. When they first released only 10 were made. 3 were destroyed, and to this day he's only seen 3. The one he was in, the one he restored, and the one on display at an auto history museum. He wanted to cry he was so happy. He himself had tried to buy the car when he'd become established in the world but by then the car was quite old, expensive, and impossible to find. Inuyasha admired the original interior as Sesshomaru took off. The hanyou was at peace with the world listening to the near silent engine, had it not been for his heritage he wouldn't even hear the silent purring. For the car to be so old, the suspension was magnificent. He couldn't even feel the usual bumps in the road. "This is youki engineering at its finest."
They'd driven quite far from the castle before ducking into a small paved road. They had to pass security at the gate and a door opened. When they drove in, Inuyasha couldn't hold his shocked expression. The first thing he spotted were 2 of the remaining four cars. Then he saw a multitude of other classics, some he'd only ever seen in books. The one thing all the cars, both new and old, had in common was how pristine and new they looked. Sesshomaru parked and Inuyasha got out admiring the multitude of cars. "I can die happily now." Sesshomaru couldn't hold his snort of laughter, and silently thanked Kiki once more. "This is…how?"
"Our father loved them as well. He was fascinated by the vehicles and collected them until the time of his death. Even now, when there are rare cars created, I buy them and add to the collection. There are several mechanics that tend to them every day."
"You and the old man have an eye that's for sure. Man, I tried for decades to get my hands on one of these." Inuyasha said caressing the car they'd arrived in.
"Then it's yours."
"W-what…?" Inuyasha stuttered.
"This garage is yours as much as it is mine. I don't truly care for cars as I prefer to fly. I'm sure had he lived, you two would've bonded over this."
Inuyasha felt his eyes sting, "Holy shit, I'm acting like such a bitch."
"I'll assume you like the surprise."
"Like?" Inuyasha questioned, once again looking at the various cars. "Like doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling man." Inuyasha's heart was pounding in his throat as he took pictures of certain cars and sent them to Kouga.
"Which one would you like to take out with us?" Sesshomaru asked, positive that the hanyou would get a thrill out of driving it.
Inuyasha's eyes widened, "Really?" Sesshomaru nodded. "Um…this one! I don't want to hurt any of the oldies." He'd chosen a youki manufactured car that was released recently. Sesshomaru went to a hidden wall panel, and tossed the keys to Inuyasha. The hanyou only gawked at them before looking at Sesshomaru and smiling like his daughter. He was giddy as he sat in the front seat and waiting for the lord to get in. Once again on the road, Inuyasha was instructed to head to the city. "Oh, man I bet this gets so much speed.
Sesshomaru smirked, "Then speed up."
"Thrill seeker?" Inuyasha laughed.
"Go." Was the lord egging the hanyou on. "You're a mechanic, let's see how well you do behind the wheel. Inuyasha's fanged grin grew as he fed the car a large amount of youki before hitting the gas and shooting forward. When he was young and reckless he'd taken part in a lot of street racing so the lord was in for a surprise. Going three times the limit, Inuyasha weaved through cars with practiced ease. The grin on his face permanent as he scanned the road. Sesshomaru could tell the young man was enjoying their date so far.
Very soon, however, the flashing of police lights was in their windows and Inuyasha frowned. "Sess…"
"Annoying. Lose them." Sesshomaru stated.
"What? We can't just."
"We can do whatever we want. We own this country. We pay their salaries. If they can't catch us it's a sign they need more training. Are you scared Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru taunted.
Inuyasha tossed a glare before really feeding the car his youki. "Try to keep up old man!" Just as the car had slowed to normal speed it shot forward once more, catching the police off guard.
"You do well on the highway, how will you do in the city I wonder." Sesshomaru commented, nonchalantly.
"Just you watch." The streets were a lot emptier than usual as Inuyasha drove through with several police on his tail. The main thing he would need to avoid is a helicopter. They sped through the streets, drifting on hard turns and making the police drop back even further. Inuyasha heard a helicopter far in the distance and knew he needed to lose them before that spot light was on them. He accidently ended up on a busy road with cars stuck in traffic. "Shit!" He tried to slow down.
"Don't slow down." Sesshomaru ordered.
"Are you crazy!?"
"Just trust me Inuyasha. Speed up."
Inuyasha bit his lip in apprehension before flooring it. They almost hit the last car but were soaring above it in a flash of light, before landing pass the busy roads and ducking off into an ally out of sight. "That…that was so fucking cool!" Inuyasha exclaimed, the adrenaline still buzzing through his system. "Who knew the lord was such a thrill seeker?" Inuyasha laughed.
"I'm happy you had fun." Sesshomaru smirked as well. As they waited for the heat to die down and for the cops to realize they'd lost they began chatting about Inuyasha's time drag racing. Sesshomaru would like to have known the hanyou in his youth, from his story he was obviously very brash and uncouth, which Sesshomaru commented on.
"Yeah, when Hishime got pregnant, it was a huge wake up call. Like, it hit me like a bus man. Nothing is scarier than finding out you're going to be a father when even you know your life is in shambles." Inuyasha sighed. They'd been waiting for around an hour. "I think it's safe to go. Where to?"
Giving the hanyou the address, they pulled into a swanky club. All eyes were on them as the chic duo exited and Inuyasha handed the keys off to a vale. Sesshomaru glared daggers at alpha's and beta's alike who then put their heads down in submission. He would have Inuyasha entertaining only himself. The two were let into an empty, private area. They sat and ordered a few drinks. The rest of the night was spent with the two talking about random topics that crossed their mind. They even ended up talking about the level of attraction they felt coming from surrounding patrons. The two could feel their stares and Inuyasha smirked. He leaned in and captured the lord's lips in a slow sensual display. The lord was all too keen to oblige. He took his time exploring the hanyou's mouth, hands traveling. Feeling a spike in arousal from his date Inuyasha smiled. It'd been a while since he'd been on such a fantastic date, and was looking forward to more.
Sesshomaru pulled the hanyou into his lap as they made out. Grinding his hips upward pulled a low moan from his little brother. Pulling away his hands rubbed Inuyasha's sides. "Maybe it's time we got out of here." Inuyasha nodded and stood. Sesshomaru drove this time as Inuyasha was unsure about driving as he didn't know how much he'd drank. It wasn't enough to impair his driving in Sesshomaru's opinion as it'd been around 4 hours for what could equate to maybe a shot and a half. The drive to the castle was quicker than expected but the chaos they entered was not expected. Smoke from a fire could be seen and the two parents darted out and inside to find their children. Servants were scrambling to put the fire out.
"Kiki! Sairiu!" Inuyasha shouted, unable to smell anything because of the fire.
A servant ran to them crying, "The princesses are missing!" Inuyasha darted down the family wing of the castle, he kicked the door to Kiki's room down. She wasn't in her room and neither was Sairiu.
"Get this fire out! Now!" Sesshomaru ordered with a roar that shook the very foundation of the castle.
"What did I teach her about fire? What did I teach her about fire besides not making it?" Inuyasha surmised. "She'd be thinking of Sairiu. Shit." Inuyasha could usually predict his daughters decided course of action based on what he teaches her. Sairiu was the unknown variable.
A guard ran to the two, "My lords, we found evidence of a break in! But it's unknown how the fire was started."
"I think Kiki did it." Inuyasha concluded. "When she was four she gained one of her mother's abilities. She came from a long line of fire InuYouki. Shit."
"The fire department can deal with the fire, start searching for the girls." Sesshomaru growled. Someone had ruined their night, and they were going to pay.
Kiki heard the door to her room open, before slamming shut. Someone moved closer to her and her puppy woke and began to growl and bark. "Monshi ... appa ya…" She whispered mistakenly smelling her father on her clothing, and stroked the puppy. When she opened her eyes, two figures were there, and one was holding a whining and crying Sairiu. Kiki growled in a way her dad would be proud of. A person grabbed her and pinned her tiny arms to her body as she tried desperately to bite and maim them. The person was having a hard-enough time holding onto her before she screamed at the top of her lungs. She screamed and cried for her dad who would be there any minute to save her like he always did. She continued to kick and scream like he told her, if anyone tried to take her away. The being covered her mouth and the three ran through the halls holding the girls. Kiki was still trying to bite and kick. She lost control of her mother's gift and her clothing caught fire. The person holding her also caught fire and dropped her. She sprinted away, screaming down the hallway for a guard, her dad, or the lord. The other person was right behind her as she spread flames through the castle. When they caught her once more and tried to cover her mouth she bit down so hard she took quite a few fingers off as well. The figure hit her over the head, effectively silencing the struggling child.
Sairiu watching, paralyzed with fear as her cousin stopped moving. "Kiki~!" She whined, begging her father to help them. Why isn't he coming? She cried silently. The people ran very far with them before loading them into a cage. Sairiu cried loudly and began to howl in fear as she'd done before the lady found her and brought her to her father. She howled loudly and sorrowfully as she shook her cousin who wouldn't wake up like her mother hadn't.
"Shut up!" Was the loud shout towards the crying pup.
"Father!" She cried louder. Howling with all her might.
A bright green whip flew through the area, decapitating several of the perpetrators. It flew through again and Sairiu felt relief flood her being. The whip danced with the grace that only her father possessed and she became quite happy at the prospect of cuddling in the lord's strong arms. Her eyes found her cousin who lay motionless on the floor of the metal cage. She saw her chest moving and wondered if she'd be able to create a whip one day. All at once, unfamiliar people in armor swarmed the area and the whip stopped. The armored people detained the survivors. "How detestable." Was the icy voice of a woman. "Showing weakness is pitiful child." A woman whose robes of white practically glowed as she drifted towards the girls. "Gather the children. We will go back to my castle. I have quite a few words for my son."
"Yes, my lady." The guards bowed. The girls sat in the cage while they rounded up the surviving perpetrators.
An armored person came up to the cage with keys, they took their mask off to reveal the youthful face of a very beautiful shiroinu woman. "Hello puppy, my you look just like Lord Sesshomaru. Come with me okay?" The woman reached in, and Sairiu shied away, shaking in fear.
Tears began again, "Father!" She cried.
The younger pup began to stir, anger evident in her young gaze. She growled, fire sparking at her claws which scratched the bottom of the cage. "Calm yourself, little fire starter. We got the bad guys that hurt you. Let's go get you a pretty new dress and some water okay?" The pup continued to growl. Distrusting of the unfamiliar beings around her. Never having been in the situation she scooted to the very back of the cage and continued to growl. Sairiu scooted back with her, cowering in the corner. The woman sighed and frowned, "You two are really frightened." She called another over and they lifted the cage together and flew to the flying castle.
Setting the cage in a room the woman stepped back, "My name is Yuko. I am a palace guard of the shiroinu clan. We are very few pups, I don't want you to be afraid of me. I know your father, Lord Sesshomaru, we are cousins." The smallest pup didn't stop growling, but Sairiu had stopped crying. A guard had been sent to Lord Sesshomaru to inform him of what happened, she hoped he arrived soon, she'd never seen a pup behave this way towards kindness.
An hour later and the woman felt two very strong powers heading to the castle. In the room, the guards had gathered toys from around the castle to lure the tiniest pup out so they could put clothing on her and make sure she was okay but whenever anyone got close she growled and fought. Sesshomaru's daughter had left the cage and was trying to help them. She snarled and growled ferociously, tail swishing aggressively. She felt the two powers and her lady coming to the room. When the door opened, Sairiu flung herself into her father's arms. The tiniest pup began to do something that shocked all the guards trying to coax her out. She began crying. She crawled out of the cage and ran to the hanyou with outstretched arms. Yuko had thought for sure they'd irreversibly hurt the child in some way but here she was, crying and clinging to her father. "Appa!" She wailed loudly her body trembling in fear. The scent of sadness and fear filled the room. The child had not indicated anything but distrust and anger. Her father held her close, petting her ears and whispering words of safety and encouragement.
"I am very disappointed in you Sesshomaru." The lady of the castle began, "Not because your guards have proven incompetent but because of the lack of training in your daughter. I arrived earlier and had watched as she didn't even try to fight back. Now, this other pup. She is an amazing example of what it means to be self-reliant." Eyeing the pup who was still crying so sorrowfully the lady smirked, causing her guards to gasp. "Not only did the pup fight and escape before being caught again, she irreparably maimed two of them. Then woke up and was still defensive, defensive until she knew she was safe. With a bit of training, they will stop trying to kidnap her as they did with you. Your child was useless."
"Mother."
"Silence! It is unacceptable." She growled at her only child.
"Scary~!" Kiki cried and ended up giving herself the hiccups.
"I know, I know." Inuyasha comforted
"Daddy didn't come!" She practically screamed.
Inuyasha felt the sting of her words in his chest. He always told her to stay strong and he'd be there. He failed her this time. He held her tightly, "Daddy is so sorry Kiki. I'm so sorry." Inuyasha wasn't paying attention to what was happening around him. He was trying not to cry. Kiki's face was red as she cried even louder. Inuyasha pat her back and used his youki to let out a soothing pulse, letting Kiki and her youkai know that she was safe. It took a moment but eventually she fell asleep in his arms with tears still running down her puffy red face. "I'm so sorry puppy..." A guard handed him some clothes for her and he dressed her silently. He allowed himself to get too caught up and this happened. It could have been prevented but he was out reliving times long since forgotten. Standing up Sesshomaru filled him in on what his daughter did and while he was proud, he never wanted his daughter to have to fend for herself at this age. He bit his lip holding back the tears. It had been quite a long night and Inuyasha was led to a room where he lay down with his pup in his arms. He stroked her puppy ears and sent out the pulse to help her sleep as a few tears escaped his own eyes. He felt like he was failing at being a parent, it hadn't been a year and twice, he'd almost lost his pup. It was like the day of her birth, when he was losing everything he loved all at once. He sniffled once, "I promise I'll be there from now. I'm so sorry Kiki." He was distraught, never having seen his daughter cry as she did before. Inuyasha lay there in silence until the door opened and Sesshomaru entered with Sairiu and Monshi. Setting the pups on the bed they curled up with he and Kiki, and Sesshomaru joined them, saying nothing as he closed his eyes. Inuyasha was the last to drift off to sleep. His mind racing with everything that had happened.
I was sad reading this like, "Why would you write her crying like that you monster!?" It's supposed to be a pretty intense, eye opening chapter I believe. (I have notes scattered throughout each chapter, I wrote like I was programming and letting myself know what's what.)
