The cool autumn air blew lightly through the orange and yellow turned forest trees. Small forest animals and demons gathered food for the upcoming winter that was not too far off. A tall figure around the height of 6 feet walked through the forest in silence. His long silver hair that stops at his waist swayed back and forth from the rhythm of his walk and the light breeze. He wore a white kimono with red sakura blossoms on it along with white sashinuki hakama pants, red obi, and black boots. His armor sat in front of his kimono shirt with small metal spikes sticking out of it. His big fluffy white boa was over his right shoulder as it blew a bit from the cool air as well. His cold expression on his mature masculine face stayed firm as he patrols the area. His posture and family purple crescent moon that rested in the center of his forehead show his stature to every demon that he came across. He was the daiyoukai of the western lands, Lord Sesshomaru.
He approach a cliff that overlooked his lands as the midday sun was high in the sky. He stared off towards his land as the cool breeze blew around him. He started thinking about all that has happened to him these past seven years. He had found himself a worthy mate of the rarest breed of dog demon who invaded his life out of a whim. He glanced down to Tenseiga that rested on the left side of his hip for a split second before looking back towards his land. If it wasn't for his father's sword, he would still be a wandering lord trying to find his purpose, but now he was mated and had heirs to his land. His ear twitched as he heard rustling behind him from the trees. He closed his eyes and gave a silent hmph as he recognized the scent.
"Kaishi… you must be more wary with your movement through your future land. Other demons must know to respect, but also fear you." He spoke coldly towards the being behind him.
"Yes, father. My apologies." A young male dog demon appeared out of the forest line and stop right behind Sesshomaru.
The young dog demon looked the age of a 6 year old child as he stood at 44 inches tall while wearing a similar style ware as his father. The kimono top was white with green leaves on it with a white sashinuki hakama pants, green obi, and black boots. He wore smaller version armor as his father. He had a small short sword on the right side of his hip. He had the same face features of a purple crescent moon on the center of his forehead and two twin matching magenta stripes on his ivory cheeks. He also had shoulder length silver hair. Kaishi was Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kaya's firstborn son and heir to the western lands. He was out with his father to learn the layout of his land and skills for future journeys. He walked closer to his father side and looked out to the land with his deep gold eyes. His eyes fell on their estate.
"Do you think mother is doing well? I did sense that my new sibling was going to arrive today." He looked up to his father who was staring off towards their home as well. Kaishi had been noticing for awhile now that his father never left his mother alone for too long.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed a bit before he turned and started walking back into the forest. "Come. It is time to meet the new arrival."
Kaishi nodded as he followed after his father, but he paused for a second as he was sensing something abnormal around him. He looked around the area trying to locate what had caught his senses. Sesshomaru stop and looked back towards his son with an arch eyebrow. The young dog demon shrugs his shoulders before walking up to his waiting father. He figured it was just his imagination. Yellow eyes watched the two dog demons disappear into the forest before narrowing and disappearing as well.
Upon their arrival back home they notice the main buildings servants were coming down from a rush of panic. Reiko stood in front of Sesshomaru's room with a smile on her lips. Kaishi nosed flared as he smelled the new scent coming from his parent's room. A small smile form on the young boy as he was eager to meet his new sibling. Lord Sesshomaru walked up to the mouse demon and looked down to her.
"Congratulation, my lord. Lady Kaya awaits you in the room with the new heir." Reiko spoke softly as she bows deeply to him before opening his door for him. He nodded as he steps forward, but pauses as he looked towards Kaishi.
"Go get Yoshiro, Kaishi. He most likely wants to see his new sibling." The young dog demon nodded and bow before heading to get his younger brother from his room.
Sesshomaru walked into his room and a small smile form on his lips. His eyes meet with the blue eyes of his mate who smile right back towards him. She sat up on their futon bed with a small bundle in her arms. She waves him over which he moved closer to her side and kneels down next to her. He looked at the newborn pup in her arms. He had a daughter and she was a split image of her mother. His gold eyes meet with small blue eyes looking right back up to him. She was wide awake and cooing. Her short black hair was spike up and the black star that rested on the center of her forehead crinkled from a yawn she released. She also had her mother's twin silver stripes on her small cheeks. He looked at his pup and new relief washed over him again like it did when he first saw Kaishi and Yoshiro.
"Isn't she beautiful, my lord? As I got to see you as a pup with Kaishi birth, now you get to see me with our Aiko." Sesshomaru looked at Kaya and hmphed before leaning in and kissing her fully. Kaya gave a small moan as she kissed him back with all her love. He broke the kiss and looked deep into her blue eyes.
"Aiko? Is that what you wish to name her?" Kaya blushed lightly as she nodded her head yes before looking down to her now sleeping daughter.
He looked down to Aiko and nodded his head in agreement with the name. He looked towards the door to their room and notice Kaishi and Yoshiro peeking into the room in silence. Kaya giggles as she noticed her two sons waiting for permission to enter fully. She waved at both of them which Kaishi took a step in, but Yoshiro quickly ran up to his mother side. Yoshiro was 3 years old and had the famous silver hair of his father and older brother, but he had Kaya's blue eyes. He only had one magenta stripe on each cheek. He didn't wear any mark on his forehead as it was bare. He wore a white kimono with purple crescent moon patterns and white sashinuki hakama pants with white boots. He did not have his own armor yet because Kaya had pause Sesshomaru for getting him one made. She believes he was still too young to be out patrolling the lands with him and Kaishi. Kaishi was 4 when Sesshomaru finally got him his own armor and got him out. Kaya disagreed about it, but she gave up when she notice Kaishi was eager to follow his father everywhere and do the things he did. Yoshiro was more attached to her with his shy and timid self. He spoke only to address them properly when asked something, but he mostly stayed silent. When he was born he did not cry which scared her, till the healer had to smack him to get a sound from him. He cried for a minute till he was placed in her arms and saw her. Yoshiro was her quiet but obedient son.
Yoshiro sat next to Kaya and stared down at his little sister with curiosity in his blue eyes. Kaishi stood next to Sesshomaru and smiled down to his sister's sleeping form. "May we know our sister name, mother?" He questioned in a hush tone as he looked at his mother who held a smile for him.
"Kaishi… Yoshiro… I like you to meet your little sister Aiko. I want you two to be very protective of her as she holds your mother's heritage on her forehead. The Alaskan black star comes from my rare bloodline. She and I are the only ones that hold the mark in this world. If lost or taken by the wrong hands, it will never be found again. Plus, big brothers must always watch over their little sisters." She smiled at both of them.
"I swear, mother, on my honor as the first born; I will protect her always." Kaishi spoke proudly as he swore his promise. Kaya smile wildly to him as she nods her head. Sesshomaru stood up and looked down to Kaishi as he placed his hand on his shoulder. The young demon smile proudly as he felt glad to get his father approval from his words of honor.
Kaya glance at Yoshiro who kept looking at his little sister in silence. He soon looked up to them and nodded his head. "I promise to keep her safe forever." He spoke in his quiet voice as he placed his small hand over his heart.
"I know you two will make me so proud. I love all of you and hope to bring you much happiness." Kaya spoke softly as she pats Yoshiro head lightly with her free hand which he beams up happily up to her.
"Now… your mother needs her rest along with attending to Aiko's first needs. You may see her later if she so wishes it, but I will step in if she hasn't had much rest." Sesshomaru stern voice spoke up finally as he narrowed his eyes down to his sons. Kaishi nodded his head as he got the message, but he glance to his young brother and knew he wasn't going to want to leave.
"Come, Yoshiro, I want to show you the new sword that father had forged for me." Kaishi said before thinking and covering his mouth as he looked towards his mother. Kaya's eyes narrowed before she glared up towards Sesshomaru who looked down to her unfazed by her glare.
"He did not need a new sword. His small sword is good enough till he is older." Sesshomaru hmphed as he walked around to the side where Yoshiro sat next to her.
"This Sesshomaru was younger than him when Inu no Taisho gave this Sesshomaru his first sword. He is of age to have a proper sword. It was forged from my very own fang, so it will be his heirloom. End of story." Kaya pouted as she hated when he didn't give her much of an argument, but she did give it a rest as she knew Sesshomaru wanted to do for his sons like his father did for him and Inuyasha.
She gave a deep sighed, "Fine. I will let it slide since he is the firstborn and heir to our land. He has much responsibility to take upon his shoulder to follow your footsteps. But… please consult with me first for future things regarding him. He is my son too." Sesshomaru just nodded as he gave Yoshiro a sharp stare. He ignored him which he did on a normal when Kaya was present. He got spoil with her saving him from his father's wrath. Kaishi held back laughter as he watched them in silence.
"Yoshiro… do you attend to disobey your father?" The little dog demon looked up to his father with his innocent blue eyes what always worked on Kaya, but never on Sesshomaru. He released a whimper as he moved closer to his mother and little sister for safety. Kaya hugged him with her free arm and pouted up to Sesshomaru.
"He is not hurting anything. If he wants to stay with us then that is fine. He can help me when Aiko gets fussy," Kaya spoke up to save her young son. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes in a glare and shook his head no. He reached down and pick up his young son.
"No. He is going to listen to this Sesshomaru if he likes it or not. Study lessons for you." Sesshomaru spoke before walking out of the room with a whimpering Yoshiro in his arms. Kaya just shook her head with a smile on her lips. Kaishi watched his mother with humor in his gold eyes.
"Go save your brother. Yoshiro doesn't mean to disobey him. It's my fault he like that. Maybe Aiko will probably be the same since she is the only girl at the moment." Kaya told Kaishi as he nods his head and bows before leaving them room.
One night a week later, Kaya just got finished feeding Aiko and put her to sleep in her small bassinet. She sighed deeply as she rested in bed. She smiled as Yoshiro lay asleep next to her with his favorite blanket that she had made for him when he was just a newborn. Kaishi had a blanket too, but he kept it in his room. She had to get with Reiko on getting the right fabric for Aiko to make her blanket. She lightly patted his head as he slept in peace. Sesshomaru didn't mind Yoshiro sleeping with them, but he did kick him out when he wanted alone time with her. How else did she have Aiko? She looked up when Kaishi enter the room with a soft knock on the door. She smiled to her eldest and waves him in. He closed the door and walked over to her. He sat at the edge of the futon bed and rests his back on her leg. She knew something was on his mind when he came in and sat with her. She ran her fingers through his shoulder length silver locks.
"What is it, my son? What bothers you?" Kaya smiled as he let out his sigh that had somewhat of the same tone as his father. He closed his eyes as he was enjoying her grooming on his hair.
"Do you think I will make father proud with taking over the land? I have a great fear I will fail him somehow." He spoke with a pout in his voice. She frowns as she used her hand to turn his face so he could face her. He opens his golden eyes and stared at her with a sad look.
"You make him proud already. The day you were born his proud got boosted. We thought we wouldn't have an heir for this land, but then you arrived and our worries disappeared. Just because he doesn't wear his emotions doesn't mean he does not feel proud when you are near him." She smiled at him with a smile to boost up his feelings. Kaishi smiles softly from his mother's words as he looked down to his hands. She went back to playing with his hair.
"Do you think I can surpass him one day?" He questioned with a bit of doubt in his voice. She stops and thought about it. He looked back to her which he met her blue eyes.
"Of course. That is what he is aiming for with you. You must be greater than him to make it far with this huge territory. He surpassed his father, so that's what he wants with you, my son. Let me tell you a secret… you may look like your father, but you have your grandfather's heart. I can hear it in your voice. Tell you what…" She took a pause to look deep within his eyes and gave him one of her reassuring smiles she knew that help him out every time he was feeling low. "When you find yourself in a very low place and myself isn't present to help you in your time of need, call out to your grandfather and I'm a hundred percent sure he will answer you. He is always watching over us, especially, now."
Kaishi smiled as he always felt better after conversing with his mother. She was his best friend and always looking out for him. He didn't know what he would do if he didn't have his mother in his life. She was the precious pebble in everyone's huge bridge of life. Just like she said his father never wears his emotions, but he knew she meant everything to his father. She means everything to all of them.
"Now, stop acting like the heir to the western lands and come lay your head on my lap as my beloved son." She giggles as he laughs softly as he laid his head on her lap like she told him. He closed his eyes while she combs her fingers through his hair.
Later into the night, Sesshomaru walked into his room and was greeted with all his children around his mate asleep while she hum softly while still playing with Kaishi's hair. She looked up to him as she stops humming and giggled softly. She nods her head to him as he walked to his side of his bed where Yoshiro laid. He rolled his eyes as he went to change into his sleeping kimono. She held back her giggles as she knew he wouldn't say his disagreement about the children. He returned in his grey sleeping kimono on and slowly picks up Yoshiro sleeping form. He laid next to Kaya on the futon and places his young son on his chest. As much as Yoshiro fought him, the small pup still adores his father and snuggled against his chest.
"This shall not be a regular." He spoke in a quiet voice as he looked down to his youngest son in his arms. She smiled at them both as she loved seeing Sesshomaru this way with the pups, but she knew he wasn't used to giving affection.
"I apologies, mate. I just wanted all my pups near me. I never thought I would ever see a day like this. Our pups are alive and healthy." She spoke with softness as she glances at each of her sleeping pups. Sesshomaru looked at her and his eyes soften. He cupped her chin with his free hand and made her look at him. Their eyes met and melted into one another's. He leans her forward and kissed her strongly which she kissed him back. He broke the kiss and lean his forehead on hers.
"I expect more pups soon." A bright blush form on her cheeks from his words as she giggled softly. She knew he was older than her by a few centuries but they both were still young to produce about a dozen pups if wanted to. She nods as she didn't mind having more pups. She wanted them to pass on her lost bloodline and probably some of her pups might go back to her home land to reclaim in. She wouldn't mind seeing that one day.
