-------------------------------K, this chap is back, and just so y�know, nothing�s really changes in the author�s note or reviews from the last time this was posted, so feel free to ignore them.--------------------------------
A/N: Okay, gomen,gomen,gomen,gomen,gomen,gomen,gomen,gomen,gomen for how long it�s taking me to update! It�s end of school year and all that and I�ve had a shit-load of work to do, so time is kinda short to dedicate to the stories.
Although I have to admit that I did get this chapter finished a while ago (like days) but I wanted to get a headstart on some the upcoming chapters to see if the idea I have in my head will work. I�m hoping it does. Whether this headstart will increase the speed of the updates in undetermined, since, for the most part, I just have a bunch of random chapter beginnings started, nothing solid or specific. Hopefully I�ll get them done soon.
OH! But before that, I have a link (Thanks to Snowfall for finding it, and Caitriona for bringing it up in the first place) (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_lactation) about male lactation. This might help explain to some people exactly why Inuyasha was suddenly able to lactate. Or at least one of the possible reasons. ^_^

Surprise

Inuyasha�s head jerked up as his eyes flew open at the sound of the door slowly doing the same, and he whole body instantly tensed-- his muscles stiff and cramped from his continued position.
Footsteps reached his ears, and then the dark hem of Naraku�s robes snaked into his line of vision as the horrid, poisonous stench that was the half-youkai�s scent assaulted his sensitive nose, making it wrinkle slightly in disgust.
Inuyasha could smell malcontent mixed in with his horrid stench, and the promise of pain, and he unconsciously pressed tighter against the wall, jerking his head in a violent wince when a hand back out and touched his chin, the cool fingertips pressing against his flesh, tilting his face back and up toward Naraku�s, though once again he refused to meet the demon�s eyes as Naraku murmured some sort of greeting to him-- his snake-like tongue sliding out to lick a path over Inuyasha�s cheekbone, before their lips were suddenly pressed together.
Inuyasha whined loudly in distress and jerked his head back, trying to disconnect from the foul beast in front of him, his eyes going wide with fear as he scented the arousal staining the air.
�Poor puppy.� Naraku murmured, his lips move uncomfortably close to Inuyasha�s ear, brushing against the fur-lined edges and making him shiver. �Are you really so frightened of me?� He leaned down and licked Inuyasha�s lips, making the hanyou shudder faintly, wondering how long they were going to play this game this time... how many times they had already played it...
Tsukiko, who had sensed her bearer�s distress, looked up with wide eyes at the scene before her, not knowing what was happening or understanding it, only that, whenever that strange scent entered the room, her bearer began to emanate an uncomfortable amount of fear and distress, that her tiny, barely developed instincts would absorb and turn into her own.
Both hanyou�s were oblivious to this, of course, as Naraku smirked at Inuyasha�s obvious fear and discomfort.
�I have a surprised for you, pet.� He said softly, making Inuyasha�s ears compress as he pulled back to retrieve said �surprise� from within the confines of his kimono.
Inuyasha felt his eyes widen to saucers, and then dilate in fear as he stared at the thing Naraku held out dangling before his ace.
It appeared to be a long strip of pure black leather, with tiny gleaming silver hooks running all along one side, and a large clamp like object on the very back, and it looked very much like a weapon that might be used to beat your opponent very well to within an inch of their life. However, to Inuyasha, it�s purpose was quite obvious and very different from that.
It was a collar.
Inuyasha stared at the thing fearfully-- sensing the evil aura surrounding it-- before his eyes flickered nervously to Naraku�s face.
�W... what is that for?� He questioned slowly, his parched throat scraping together around each word. Which was reasonable, considering he had not eaten nor drank since he had come here, which he imagined was somewhere close to at least two days ago. Not that he could guarantee that. The only means he had to tell the passage of time was the window at the far end of the room, and Naraku�s sleeping patterns. And the window was always shut, while Naraku, it seemed, had absolutely no set sleeping pattern, so really that was very little for him to go on.
Naraku smirked widely in his face.
�I believe every dog should bear the collar of it�s master.� The demon said, making sure Inuyasha caught every word. There was a flash of outrage in the hanyou�s eyes, but it was devoured again by fear a moment later as the aura around the collar seemed to pulse slightly.
He glanced nervously at said collar, before looking back up at Naraku.
�I am no one�s pet.� He said, angry at how weak his voice sounded even to his ears.
�Mm.� Naraku said, the smirk still in place on his face. �Yes. I suppose if you continue to tell yourself that long enough, perhaps one day you will truly believe it.� The kumo�s eyes flickered slightly as he continued to stare at Inuyasha. �For now, since we both still know better, let�s just get this over with, shall we? Besides, you never know-- perhaps it will help cover that foul scar you bear on your neck.�
He raised the collar up, bringing it closer to the hanyou, whose eyes were still flashing over the mention of covering his mating mark, and attempted to place it on his neck, only to have the boy press back away from him, a low growl tearing itself free from his throat, his ears pressed back and his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared dangerously at Naraku, looking very much the part of a feral, trapped dog. And it was enough to give Naraku pause.
He stared at Inuyasha a moment, clearly both surprised and amused by his little show of defiance, and then tsked gently at the boy. �Don�t be like that, pet.� He said. �I don�t want to have to muzzle you as well.� That said, he began to move the collar closer again, and Inuyasha cringed away, his eyes wide with panic as he pressed as far away from the thing as possible-- shuddering at the way it seemed to burn his skin before it had even managed to contact it-- a high pitched whine tearing free from his throat as his youki subconsciously reached out toward his mate, trying to alert him of the danger and state of panic he was in.
No sooner had the noise escaped from the prison of his lips, than several things happened.
Tsukiko, who had been tense enough with distress from her bearer before, became even more so at the horrendous fear pouring off of him now-- at the feel of his youki calling out so strongly for help-- and, without any concerns or knowledge of the possible consequences her actions might induce, she drew her tiny hand back, and slashed blindly with her claws-- slicing over the flesh of the threat�s wrist, spattering her tiny face and body in drops of blood, her ears pressing tightly back against her head, and looking like she had true control over them for the first time in her short life as she squirmed her tiny body in her state of upset.
The unexpected attack caused Naraku to yank away in surprise, his face darkening as his crimson gave flew down to the small pup, who was staring at her own claws with wide eyes-- their razor edges still shining and dripping with the blood she had just spilled.
Unfortunately for Inuyasha, his daughter�s would-be rescue of him did not come fast enough.
The sharp metal teeth touched his flesh just as Tsukiko�s claws sliced Naraku�s, and that was all it took.
In an instant they had latched themselves to him-- hooking and burying deeply into his flesh, drawing the rest of the collar to wrap about his throat as well-- sinking deep enough to tear veins, and there must have been some sort of venom on them, because, for all of a moment, Inuyasha felt his blood turn completely to ice.
Then the pain hit.
Unbelievable, excruciating, blindingly white-hot waves of pain that shot through his body like streaks of lightning over water, making him jerk, convulse, and then go completely still.

His frame had cramped up-- the muscles hidden just beneath the surface of flesh refusing to move-- even as the collar completed the attachment with the only thing left-- the clamp.
The sharp, jagged metal bit that sunk deeply into his flesh from behind, clamping on it like Sesshomaru�s fangs had on the night of the new moon, only these were going so much deeper-- tearing flesh, and stopping just short of his spinal chord, forcing his head back for a moment, before relenting it�s hold slightly and letting it slump back forward on his shoulders, though it still dug harshly into him.
And, in his current state of paralysis, Inuyasha could do nothing to defend against it physically... yet his pain was too great to be contained... and so he did the only thing that was still left available for him to do.
He screamed.
And unbelievable, earth-shattering, mind-blowing scream, that made his ears pop, and tore his vocal chords to the point of bleeding, even as Tsukiko, her attention drawn again from the blood on her claws to the pain and distress of her hanyou father, joined in on his chorus of misery, not understanding what was causing them to shriek like this, only that, if her bearer was making such a horrible noise, she probably should be too.
Not that Inuyasha really noticed.
He was beyond the point of noticing.
And all he could do was wait helplessly as the pain finally overcame him, and he fell limply once again into oblivion-- the only place that was safe enough to hide him from the pain and agony of his waking life...

Reviews:
Before I talk to anyone specific, just gotta say, you all are awesome! You�ve been great so far along this fic and put up with all my ramblings and other idiocy and insanity, and you�ve kept the fic going with your wonderful support! Thank you so much once again for staying with him this long, and being as patient as you have been! ^_^

-nette - Well, one of your wishes has been granted. But was the price really worth it? ^_^ O.O Oh please don�t suffer as Inu is! That would just be... *shudder* ... makes me almost hesitate to continue to put him through what I am... Still glad you�re liking the updates still, even if I continue to torture inu. ^_^
-Donne - o.O What the hell are you talking about? Of course it�s your place to say that! You are a reader/reviewer after all! It�s your JOB to tell me these things! What the hell am I not-paying you for if you�re not gonna tell me these things? Yeesh! Lol, k, sorry, I�ve had a grand total of 9 hours of sleep in the last two days, and have been running around all over the place, so just pardon my little outbursts. Although I do stand by what I said. I don�t mind you saying that. I WANT you to. And even if I did, you have a right to. I asked for you guys to leave reviews, and if that is your opinion then you have a right to it! Not to mention a very valid point. I have actually done some research on RR-PTSD (although that was after the fact of the rape, so I was really just cruising on that) and I know that there are some horrible side-effects to it. Believe me, if I decide to let inu out of there, it�s not gonna be pretty. However, I have heard of some cases (I�m not sure if they�re real or not) where the victim actually didn�t start experiencing any of the trauma until after they got away from their torturer so maybe that�s what�s going through my subconscious with inu right now... I can�t really offer you a valid explanation. The only real defence I have at the moment is a) He is a demon, so I get to stretch the rules with that a bit, b) He does have Sess as a mate, and so that could also tilt the scales in his favour and c) I haven�t gotten too far along in his whole retraumitization yet. I�m sure that, sometime in the future, things are gonna start to show that�ll put it all in perspective. ^_^ Anyway... I agree. People on here tend to like rape-fics from time to time and, while I�m not against them (obviously) I do also see when I�m reading them that the victim does get over it pretty quickly. You just gotta kinda roll with it sometimes though. -- Woah. You READ my incoherent rambles? o.O Okay, you�re definitely a person with too much time on their hands. Lol, jj. Anyway, yes, I would�ve liked to included more lemons. But as you say, if Inu does get rescued, it�s either gonna take a long time, or else they�ll have to be between him and Naraku or secondary couples. -- Anyway, again, you have most certainly NOT overstepped your boundaries. You pointed out some very logical aspects of the story and alerted me to an area you might have found lacking and offered up some advice/ideas. That�s all I could hope for in reviews! Well, besides a bit of humour and insanity, but as you said, you�re new, so I�m not gonna go all out and expect everything from you just yet. ^_^ All in all, it was a really good review. Keep that in mind though, you�re calling it like you see it, and don�t stop doing that, cause you�re gonna come across some author�s who, no matter how valid you are, will not appreciate it. You�re best bet is to just leave them alone, because they are not asking for your opinion at all. Only for your compliments. ^_^ Thanks again! And gomen for the insanely long response.
-Angel no Yami - Lol, thanks, although I might want to correct you on that one statement. I might not want to read them once more. I might want to read them once. Lol, I know, I�m a terrible editor. I just don�t have the patience for it, and I don�t like letting other people do it for me. I am slowly getting better at noticing these things though I think... Maybe not noticeably, but it�s happening. ^_^ -- I�m glad you like it so much (even if it is au) ^_^. And of course I�ll add you to my alert list! ^_^
-Sir Magus - There will be more. Lol ^_^. I�m glad you�re liking it so much, but I should tell you not to worry. I have absolutely no intention of leaving this fic unfinished. Unless I die or become incapacitated or something, but then I really don�t have much say in the matter, so... -- Wow, your fav? *beams* ^_^ Cool! Lol, sorry, that�s all I can think of to say at the moment. I�m going off of 9 hours of sleep to get be through two days, so I�m not functioning entirely well. ^_^ Still, once again, great you�re liking it so much! ^_^
-jem89 - Wonderful and crazy. Lol, just like the author. Well, in the crazy part anyway. ^_^ Glad you�re enjoying this story so much! I�m gonna try my hardest to update soon, but it�s been difficult lately... Cross your fingers that I get past the WB soon. ^_^
-*blue_rain* - ONE DAY?! O.O Yeesh! Either you�re a REALLY fast reader, or you�re probably going on less sleep than I am! Lol, most people say it takes them at least three days to read it. Yeesh. Well I hope you get some sleep soon though! I don�t want to create another insomniac! -- Let inu out of the situation? Hm. Well, we�ll see...
-judzea - Mm. Yes, well it�s not exactly supposed to be a walk in the park. ^_^ -- Well, that sounds a bit more like a request than a suggestion... however, it will be kept in mind. Lol, you�re not the only one to not want inu to get pregnant again. At least, not by Naraku. I find it a bit strange actually, considering how many people say Tsukiko is their fav... Lol. ^_^ -- Well, she didn�t really develop a special �power� in this chapter, but she did make an attempt to �save� inu, so that�s saying something. ^_^ I�m not sure if I want her to develop special powers though. She�s already set apart enough, I don�t know if I want to isolate her more from Arekusu and Inuko. Still, you never know... ^_^ -- Mm, yes, her fascination with Sess... I�m not sure why she has that, but it exists, so... -- Full Inuyoukai? Hm. Interesting. A couple of people have suggested inu become full youkai, but you�re the first to want it to happen to Tsukiko. Hm. Definitely a thought-provoker. ^_^ I love those! Although, technically, if she became full-youkai she�d still be different from her brothers. They are, after all, only 2/3 youkai. Still, I get what you�re saying. ^_^ Thank you for the ideas! ^_^ Although I should warn ya... I�m not as much a sucker for happy endings.
-dreamerswaking - Well I�m trying to. Writer�s block is a real bitch though, so it�s slowed me down a lot recently. You�re right though. Naraku is evil. And Sess does need to rescue him, before I get a chance to do anything worse to him. ^_^
-Juukai - *blinks* Awww, why�d you have to do that?! Now I have to find myself a new villain until Naraku can heal himself! *sighs* Still, I suppose I can�t blame you... The other reviewer�s are gonna be mad that you did that though. They all wanted the first shot at him. -- O.O The cheese? Well, no, actually, I don�t. I�m not sure what it would do to me, but I don�t want it to come get me. Still, maybe I could use it to distract the ostriches...
-NeNe - Yes, I�m sure you do. Unfortunately though, I�m afraid I can�t let you do that. You see, if I just let you randomly show up in my story and destroy Naraku, then, not only would my entire plot fall apart, but I think all the other reader�s would get jealous, and I really don�t want that. -- Lol, I think Inu Taisho knows all that already. And I�ll explain why he won�t shut up later hopefully. Although I have to point out that, because Sess has no real idea where Inu and Naraku are, he actually couldn�t have gone over there and found him anyway. -- Lol, sadistic idea. Someone else wanted me to draw and quarter him. Imagine, reverting back to medieval torture to do away with the villain of my story... -- Lol, I may be the author, but it�s the comments of people like you that keep me writing stories like this and inspire me, so you�ll have to excuse me if I don�t take you up on your advice. -- Still, even if you are mad at Inu Taisho, I�m glad you�re enjoying the story. ^_^ You and the other readers are who I�m writing it for after all, if you don�t enjoy it, who will? -- And just so you know, no, it�s not just you. ^_^
-riddlestar - Lol, that�s fine. I don�t mind you just leaving on big review. It actually makes things a bit easier for me. ^_^ -- I�m glad you�re enjoying my story so much! Although I have to point out that I didn�t even notice it had gone up to this many chapters until around chapter 40, and by then it was too late to turn back. ^_^ -- I�m truly flattered that you like my writing so much, and the things I�ve done with the characters. I was a bit iffy about the way i played some of them out (Kouga for example-- he�s really ooc around Rin for some reason) but I like most of the ideas I�ve used for them, so... ^_^ -- Yes, I considered having Rin become attached to Sess, but considering he doesn�t really like her much at all, I figured it would be better for her to attack to Inu. -- Hm. I�m actually not certain which dialect it�s hell in. I�m not fluent in Japanese or anything so I can�t tell them apart. All I know is that, according to another reviewer who knows japanese, and a jap/eng dictionary it used to mean hell way back in feudal times. ^_^ -- Lol, I know. Everyone expected twins or one pup, or a big litter of four or more, so I decided to give them what they weren�t expecting and make it three. ^_^ Even if one was Naraku�s. Lol, I did bend the rules on that a bit didn�t I? ^_^ Luckily enough, I�m allowed to in a fic like this. -- Yeah, poor inu can�t endure much more huh? Still, glad I can make you like them both just as much. ^_^ Yep, Naraku is eveil. -- Lol, yeah, I�m a repeat offender of that too. ^_^ It�s contageous -- Hm. Well, I think it would actually be better if Sess was with Inu at the moment, but w/e. ^_^ -- Btw - I�m sorry if this seems a little rushed, I�m just trying to finish up in the next ten minutes so I can actually post this thing tonight. Gomen, I usually try to be more thorough, but I�ve just run out of time... >_<
-Incessant_Darkness - The previous following was ignored. ^_^ -- Lol, although I must say, if I hadn�t ignored that first bit, I might of thought it to paint a rather vile, if justified picture. -- Balanced, huh? And here I was thinking it was one of the most unbalanced fics I�d ever personally come across. But maybe that�s just me. ^_^ Lol, still I�m glad you think so. I love angst (as you can tell) but you know what they say about two much of a good thing... And you�re right, maybe using that word after the previous part isn�t the best idea. ^_^ -- Mm, yes, well I�ve never been pregnant, but that is generally true. Although I suppose there is a very slight chance of it happening, it really is slim to none. But hey, as I�ve said, and as you just pointed out, Inu�s a male and a half-demon and he has already stretched the gender rule by being pregnant in the first place, so why not carry the pups of two different men at the same time? Lol, still though I know what you mean. But lke you said, it kept the plot going and it surprised you which were two of the main things I was going for with it. ^_^ I suppose I could always find someway to get rid of Tsukiko or something, but she�s so damn popular now, I think everyone would hate me if I did. ^_^ -- A masterpiece? Well I wouldn�t go that far. Brilliant will suffice. Lol, jj. ^_^ Seriously though, you shouldn�t feed my ego like that... it all goes straight to my head, and that place is complicated enough without the swelling that ensues because of that. ^_^ Still, I�m glad you like it so much! Hopefully I won�t make you wait too long for the next update. ^_^

~*~

A/N: Is that it? Is that all?
Okay then.
Then I�m gonna send out alerts and then I think I might collapse for a little while.
Hope you all enjoyed the chapter! ^_^
