Chapter 15

Author's note: I'm back! Gomen nasai!

6 months later

The wind was so welcoming, it's cold touch exactly what Inuyasha needed. He turned his nose up to the breeze, smelling the sweetness of flowers. He opened his eyes and looked to the sky, feeling a warm hand lightly touch his ear. Inuyasha took the hint and laid back, resting his head on Sesshomaru's lap. He blinked blearily up at him, shivering with ticklish pleasure as he gently massaged an ear between his fingers.

Sesshomaru was always so gentle to his ears…

"How are you feeling Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru whispered, Inuyasha closing his eyes and trying not to squirm under the treatment. Sesshomaru gave it a small tug, tearing a sharp gasp from Inuyasha.

"Answer my question," he commanded softly, Inuyasha sighing as he rested fully against his lovers legs.

"I'm fine, my heat still hasn't started," Inuyasha stated, Sesshomaru humming softly as he turned his attentions to Inuyasha's other ear.

"When will it start again?" Sesshomaru asked, Inuyasha snorting before popping open an eye. He tried to ignore the glare of the sun, moving an arm to block away it's light.

"My midwife told me it would take some time for my body to go back to normal, my sickness threw my body off.." Sesshomaru hummed softly before leaning closer, placing a kiss on Inuyasha's lips. Inuyasha arched a bit when his ear was tugged on lightly, letting a small moan escape. Sesshomaru pulled away only slightly, his soft lips skimming over Inuyasha's cheek. He laid kisses up to his ear, Inuyasha squirming under his caresses

"I want many more Inuyasha, three is not enough." Inuyasha felt his face become hot, Sesshomaru pulling away to look him in the eye. His eyes widened at the desire filled look Sesshomaru was giving him, Inuyasha sitting up when he smelled Sesshomaru's musk.

That didn't mean his stopped huh?

"Sesshomaru please, Hanako is nearby!" Inuyasha whispered, both of them turning when they heard a girlish scream. Hanako was merely crawling after a butterfly however, her eyes bright with happiness.

Inuyasha frowned as he remembered back to that day his sickness showed itself, standing up and ignoring Sesshomaru's growl. He walked over to Hanako, picking her up and feeling his heart throb when she released a squeal of happiness. She clung to his neck, her laughter only making Inuyasha hold her tighter.

"Lord Inuyasha…" Inuyasha looked up to the woman walking towards him, smiling wider as he saw his two boys cradled by her. He smiled wider when Hanako tugged his hair in an effort to turn, her squeal of delight when she saw her brothers almost too adoreable.

It had turned out the wet nurse had poisoned them all to erase Inuyasha's bloodline, though only Hanako was strong enough to be immune to it. When Inuyasha thought he would lose them, Sesshomaru's Tenseiga began to pulse. Inuyasha experienced internal hemorrhaging from pushing his body so soon after birth, the poison only making it act faster. Tenseiga had saved them all, and that thought reminded him of his mother.

It all happened so fast, and Inuyasha was only grateful everything turned out fine. However, now his heat was off, and his body would not induce it.

Would he ever be able to have pups again?

Even so, he had these three angels!

Inuyasha kissed Hanako's forehead, kissing both Mamoru and Satoshi as well. Mamoru slapped his cheek playfully, Inuyasha nipping his little fingers with a chuckle. Satoshi was the calmest out of the three, his eyes lidded as snuggled against his wet nurse. Inuyasha pursed his lips, lightly pinching Satoshi's cheek. Inuyasha smirked when he gave him a frown akin to Sesshomaru's, Inuyasha looking to Sesshomaru and motioning for him to come closer.

Sesshomaru had already concealed his musk in the presence of the wet nurse, walking over with a frown and looking down to Satoshi.

"Guess who's gonna be like you," Inuyasha commented, his hand subconsciously playing with Hanako's silver streak.

Sesshomaru took Satoshi from the wet nurse, Mamoru whining as he begged to be taken as well. Sesshomaru's eyes softened at the sound, the wet nurse helping him place both in his arms. Satoshi's eyes finally opened fully as he grabbed a handful of Sesshomaru's hair.

In an act Inuyasha knew would equal to death for anybody else, Satoshi pulled enough to make Sesshomaru grunt. The demon however did nothing, his eyes only showing light irritation.

"Ow."

Satoshi's eyes lit up, a cheerful laugh finally escaping. Inuyasha laughed out loud as Satoshi did it again, clapping as Sesshomaru voiced his discomfort again. The great demon lord was bested by a pup, and Inuyasha could hardly accept at first that was one of the only ways to make Satoshi laughed.

It was perfect!

"To think you have been bested by a pup," Inuyasha chuckled, Sesshomaru glaring at him with the intent to pay back the hanyou later.

"Jun, take the pups to bed," Sesshomaru ordered, Jun bowing before taking the boys. Inuyasha placed Hanako on her head, the little girl already more advanced with movement than her brothers.

"Inuyasha..." Sesshomaru growled, grabbing the hanyou before speeding to their room. Inuyasha gasped when he was thrown on the bed, sitting up in the bed only to be pushed back down with the force of Sesshomaru's musk. Even though his heat wouldn't start, he could still feel his body react to his musk.

It was… sweet…

Strong…

Mate…

Inuyasha turned onto his side, rubbing his thighs together with a moan.

Inuyasha felt a pulse flow through him, his eyes widening as he felt wetness go down his thigh.

His heat…

Now!

Inuyasha tried to bolt up but Sesshomaru pounced on him, Inuyasha trapped under his weight. Inuyasha looked up to Sesshomaru when he growled, Inuyasha gasping in slight fear when he saw Sesshomaru's red eyes. He was about to protest when the shoji was suddenly opened, Sesshomaru's mother standing there.

"L-Lady Kimi!" Inuyasha gasped, Sesshomaru's red eyes turning to her. Inuyasha tried to get free again, Sesshomaru easily letting him go.

Not that he had a problem taking Inuyasha with an audience.

"Sesshomaru, you have already disgraced him once. No matter how pitiful he is, you will mate him properly this time."

Inuyasha looked from Lady Kimi to Sesshomaru, the demon more calm than before.

"What exactly do you mean?" Inuyasha asked, the concept of a proper mating confusing to him.

"Think of it, as a human marriage hanyou," Lady Kimi responded, Inuyasha raising an eyebrow. He pointed to his partially covered bite mark, tilting his head slightly.

"Isn't that it?" Inuyasha asked, Lady Kimi raising an eyebrow. A small smile graced her lips, her eyes almost seemingly to mock him.

"No hanyou, that was a forced mating. It made you submissive… You could have easily rejected him if you had been a stronger demon." Inuyasha sputtered, Lady Kimi looking to Sesshomaru.

"You will mate him, the right way. No matter how lowly and disgusting he may be, as a demon, he deserves that little bit of respect. Then I'll leave you to do what you please."

Sesshomaru lowered his head, willing away the power of his musk. It wasn't like he was driven to insanity by it anymore. For now.

"Hanyou!" Inuyasha's neck snapped as he looked to Lady Kimi, almost expecting to be beaten for some reason.

"Go bathe. I will prepare your robes. Sesshomaru, make yourself useful and gather the servants." Lady Kim laughed softly, her smile becoming warm and almost happy.

"We're going to have a proper mating."

After a long soak with a sweet smelling oil, Inuyasha was clothed in twelve kimonos, their variations in color mesmerizing. Inuyasha had never worn so many before, Sesshomaru usually wanting him in just one so he could easily disrobe him.

"What's next?" Inuyasha asked a little too dreamily, Lady Kimi unable to hide her smile at his tone. For a disgusting low being, she had to admit…

He reminded her of Inu no Taisho.

His boundless energy, his eagerness for the unknown.

Sesshomaru was like her, cold and stoic.

But Inuyasha…

If only he hadn't been that humans offspring.

"Are you ready?"

Inuyasha smiled, touching a hand to his stomach. He thought of his pups, of all the stuff he had been through from the beginning.

It had all happened so quickly, and for a long while Inuyasha had thought nothing worse could have happened to him.

But when he woke up with Sesshomaru next to his side, making sure he was okay…

Inuyasha found a way to love him in his own way. Inuyasha suddenly had a thought though, looking to Lady Kimi who had opened the shoji.

"Why am I not in pain like the first time? My heat, it hurt the first time," Inuyasha questioned, Lord Kimi looking to him over his shoulder.

"You were feeling Sesshomaru's pain. He's never relieved himself, no matter how many women I offered him. That pain can drive any high level demon into madness. You were lucky he didn't accidently murder you."

Inuyasha gasped, his eyes widening in surprise. Lady Kimi smiled sweetly, turning to face Inuyasha fully.

"Sesshomaru is not like his father. He has hundreds of years worth of sexual frustration. And unlike his father, he is hell bent on having as many pups as possible. Why, I could only assume that maybe…" Lady Kimi smirked, shaking her head lightly.

"Nevermind."

Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched, though he didn't press it. Inuyasha would stop Sesshomaru from making him a baby machine when he felt ready. He wanted so many more though, and to love them all. Love them how his mother had loved him.

Inuyasha smiled, following Lady Kimi out into the hallway. They walked across the castle to the room in which they held the meeting with all of the lords, Inuyasha almost apprehensive as he wondered if maybe they were here as well.

However, they weren't, only Sesshomaru and all of the servants of the household. Inuyasha's eyes widened, Sesshomaru dressed in his combat uniform. Inuyasha felt some wetness go down his thigh, the act involuntary. Some of the male servants shifted, uncomfortable as Inuyasha's heat suffocated them.

"Come stand by me," Sesshomaru commanded softly, Inuyasha looking to Lady Kimi who nodded. Inuyasha pursed his lips, trying hard not to trip as he walked over to Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru grabbed his hand gently, rubbing his thumb over Inuyasha's knuckles.

"Inuyasha," Sesshomaru whispered, his eyes meeting the hanyou's. The emotion in them surprised Inuyasha, his breath catching in his throat.

"I love you." Inuyasha blinked, unsure if he had heard Sesshomaru right. He felt Sesshomaru's fingers move up to his wrist, Sesshomaru pulling him closer. Inuyasha gasped, Sesshomaru grabbing Inuyasha's chin and tilting his head back slightly. Inuyasha felt his breath taken away, his eyes becoming lidded as he yearned to close that small distance.

"I love you, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha nodded slowly, his tongue sneaking out to wet his lips. He stopped suddenly though, his eyes widening.

He loved… him?

He…

Loved…

Him!

"I love you too!" Inuyasha blurted out without thinking, a blush forming on his cheeks. Sesshomaru smirked, giving Inuyasha the kiss he craved. Sesshomaru pulled away, letting Inuyasha go and sitting to face his mother. Inuyasha followed, a pile of mush by that point.

Lady Kimi looked to them both, motioning towards a servant. She was given a blade and a cup, Kimi placing both down in front of her.

"Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, place your wrists together over the cup." Inuyasha was skeptical but followed Sesshomaru's lead, watching as she wrapped a red string around their wrists, Inuyasha now interested.

"With the string of fate, may your blessings be plenty and your name be known." Inuyasha winced when she cut both of their wrists in a swift flick of her wrist, their blood pouring into the cup, their wounds healing quickly.

Lady Kimi picked up the cup, using the knife to stir the blood. She first had Sesshomaru drink of it, then Inuyasha as well. Inuyasha felt a little queasy drinking it though pulled through, not wanting to ruin this supposedly important and sacred ceremony.

"What's next?" Inuyasha whispered, Lady Kimi clearing her throat.

"Now you feast and drink." Inuyasha sputtered, confused by the lack of crazy demonic ritual. He looked at the string that tied them, raising his wrist in question.

"What about this?" Inuyasha asked, Sesshomaru almost smiling at his confusion.

"We stayed joined. I'll break it tonight, when we are alone." Inuyasha blushed, confusion running through him. Once it dawned on him he blushed, Inuyasha feeling his heat flame through him again.

"I love you," Sesshomaru whispered, kissing Inuyasha ear. It twitched in response, Inuyasha biting his bottom lip.

"I… Love you.."

The End
