A/N: Hiya guys!

Honestly, if I could write a book of the many shit situations I get myself into that book would be nominated for world-class drama and messy situations- Anyyyywhoooo, I'm happy to have updated! Admittedly this was supposed to be uploaded two weeks ago like I have told a fellow reviewer but I got myself into another one of those messy situations (the messiest thing I've ever done in my life) and I couldn't emotionally function since then and that may be too much info but I'm fine now and was super anxious to get this up so I'm sorry I'm not responding to any reviews this chapter but I have read them and- hold on I'm babbling.

*Breaths*

I've read your reviews and the Inuhanyou thing was a typo; I meant Inuyokai, I know the difference between the two and I will go fix it lol. I'm so happy you're all enjoying it and I hope you enjoy this chapter as well. Welcome new readers, follows and favs, thank you for being infinitely patient :)

SN: Did you guys know that this website has its own app? I wish someone would have told me I could have uploaded certain chapters a lot sooner I literally just found out like- I'm baffled but then again why didn't I think they had an app I mean they have their own twitter- oh my god I'm babbling again.

SN2: Excuse any typos or errors.

Disclaimer: You all know the drill, knows the drill. Characters and Inuyasha isn't mine and blah blah blah. Only this fanfic is mine.

Okay on with the chapter! Happy reading! :) ~Ren

Chapter 20: Revival

SESSHOMARU'S BEEN A FOOL. How could he had let things get so out of hand? He has to charge again now; He was a lord, he has a baby on the way and changes need to be made, he won't stand for them anymore. He will do things his way starting with-

He heard a scream. It was Satomi's. He changed back into his humanoid form and rushed over to where she was. The blood pooling at her feet confused him but he still went into action. Just as he was about to pick her up he heard a man yell, "SATOMI!"

Who the hell was that?

A man he's never seen before burst into the room and stiffened when he saw the scene before him. He had purple hair that reached his shoulders, blue eyes, and attire that indicated he was of some high power. Though it was for the slightest of moments, the unknown man went into action faster than Sesshomaru had did. The concern painted upon his face showed that he greatly cared for Satomi and not in a way that was platonic either. It wasn't long at all before Sesshomaru concluded that he must be her mate. He wondered why she smelled faintly different and it was clear to him now her smell was mingled with his like Rin's was mingled with his. It also didn't take him long to realize he was the lord he was supposed to go to battle with soon. The opportunity to kill him right there and then was all too appealing.

The speed of light would be impressed by how fast Sesshomaru moved and had the Northern lord by his throat against the wall. His hand began to glow green with his poisonous venom, seeing the Northern lord wince and wheeze was a sound he took too much satisfaction in. "You must be a fool to step foot in my land, in my palace- no. Bold. I'll give you bold. A foolish bold but bold nonetheless."

The Northern Lord looked at Sesshomaru with an expression between desperation and fear; not because Sesshomaru could easily end his life, but because of his unconscious mate on the floor along with his possible deceased unborn baby.

"I came because the wedding musn't go on. Not when I love her and realized she is carrying my offspring. You can have my land if you wish it. I no longer care. My father was the one who planned for it all to be this way. I just need her." the lord pleaded as his eyes jumped between his mate and rival.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, calculating if he could believe the mans' words. "You have my word." promised the lord, "I am not one for unnecessary violence, though I am more than capable of wiping out a nation." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed some more. He had been contemplating ending the man right here despite his pleas until his nose caught the whiff of an unmistakable scent that entered the room. His eyes widened in the slightest.

"Sesshomaru."

His hand twitched at the sound of her voice. She hasn't been gone long but it felt like a century. The authority in her voice caught him by surprise, already he could tell she was different in some way. Her voice was strong and clear and radiated a certain power she didn't have before. "Let him go," she demands. "I brought him here."

Sesshomaru finally let himself glance her way but he only saw her back as she kneeled next to Satomi. His senses took notice of Inuyasha and his accomplices, his mother, and the inuhanyou girl Rin was always with watching. The half-demon girl had a proud smile on her face as she watched Rin and once he looked back at her he saw why.

He could sense a spiritual energy in Rin, one more special than Kikyou's and Kagome's. It almost resembled-no...it couldn't be. If she was the Sacred Jewels priestess' reincarnate the signs should have shown long ago.

There was no mistaking it; An almost royal red glow emitted from Rin's hand that laid on Satomi's stomach. This spiritual energy was exactly like Midorkio's. He had been so endorsed in his thoughts that his grip on the Northern Lord loosened, letting him break free and go to his mate who was regaining consciousness.

"My love!" he helped her up and relief flooded Satomi's eyes at seeing him. The situation must have been coming back to her because her eyes widened and panic began to settle in.

"It's okay," Inukimi spoke up, "Nothing brash will be dealt with here in this instant." Satomi nodded as she let out a breath until a moment later she looked to remember something else and stilled as only her hand moved to her stomach.

"The baby's fine now," reassured Rin beside her with a soft smile. Satomi's head whipped towards her, weighing in her presence and words. " 'Fine now'? I was having a miscarriage, the baby should be dead-"

"Not entirely. It still had a heartbeat- albeit a wake one but a beat nonetheless. I just made it stronger and healed it a little bit," explained Rin. "For the most part the altercation between us...could have been what I did to you and for that I apologize. I didn't mean to put your baby at risk." The sincerity in Rin's voice puzzled Satomi beyond words and all she could do was stare at her.

"What 'altercations'?!" said both the lords in unison but was promptly ignored by both their mates.

"You are more forgiving than I am..It was self-defense. I shouldn't have attacked you like I did knowing you were pregnant." It wasn't exactly an apology, more like a truce Rin will happily take.

It took everything in Sesshomaru to restrict lashing out against the pregnant Inuyokai. No matter how furious he was, even he had his boundaries. That...and if he so happened to harm Satomi while her mate was present he could easily retaliate and harm his mate who was much more fragile being pregnant and human. He'd be damned if he so let her step foot out of his palace without discussing the incident between her and Rin first.

Words were being exchanged but all Sesshomaru heard and could focus on was the fast heartbeat of his offspring resting in Rin's abdomen. It was strange...that sound calmed him in a way he'd never had expected. After listening intently for a few moments, Sesshomaru's lips slightly twitched upwards when he found something quite interesting.

There wasn't only one heartbeat but two..there's two.

Her son seemed to be off in another dimension and seeing his eyes following Rin's belly, she soon figured out why. He was having a child and it was fully hitting him. The small quirk of his lips showed her how he felt about that and it was time for her to step in and take control of the situation.

"Everyone should go into respective rooms till morning and until then is when we will discuss further political actions and protocols. For now, I think we all need some time to ponder over matters." Inukimi turned to the Northern Lord who was now picking up his sleeping mate.

"I agree." He nods. "Thank you for your hospitality and understanding. And thank you, Rin-sama for saving my child. We are forever in your debt," he gives her as much of a bow as he could with Satomi in his arms.

"It's no problem at all. The only way you can repay your 'debt' is if we all can become good friends." she smiles. The Northern Lord gives her a toothy grin, "We're already friends milady. Have a good night"

"You too," she says as he leaves. When the couple was no longer in sight, her eyes met Sesshomaru's whose eyes were already on hers. Her breath caught in her throat as one took the other in. Inukimi glanced between the two while trying to hold back a smile; her son was so absolutely taken with her it almost -dare she say it- made her want a mate herself. "Sesshomaru, I leave her with you."

He never took his eyes off Rin but the tight purse of his lips showed her how he felt about that. It was like she had been giving him permission to be alone with his own mate which he obviously thought absurd. Still, she took her leave -and picked up the imp who was gawking at the couple in the doorway- she had much to do in order to prepare for tomorrow and the palace was a mess.

She round every staff up and gathered them in the nearly done wedding ceremony room. "Thank you all for cleaning after my son's ruckus. I know many of you may be tired, but I have a request that requires as many people that would volunteer to...continue prepping for the wedding."

"But...milady...will there be such a wedding? Rumor has in Lady Rin has returned along with Satomi's lover.." questioned a servant.

Inukimi shook her head as her eyes gleamed, Jaken knew that look in her eyes and desperately wanted to be away from all of this until she picked him up again like a child before he could make his escape. "Doesn't matter who..someone will be wed as planned. The wedding must go on and the little frog here-"

"I am an imp!"

"will be my co-assistant with whatever you need."

"WHAT?!"

Inukimi chuckled and then clapped her hands. "We have quite sometime until morning so let's get to it!" Everyone sweatdropped.

A/N: Sooo to answer any questions, yes I'll give detail to how Rin got her spiritual powers and why they're similar to Midoriko's and how she met up with the Northern Lord.

I'm so relieved to have updated oh my goodness, I was just as anxious as you all.

How's summer going for y'all so far? :)

I don't have much to say really...my mind is pretty blank at the moment so I'll just say I hope you enjoyed this chapter! xD goodbye :) ~Ren
