-1Sequel Chapter 22

"Someone stole my belongings!" A woman yelled.

"Mine too!" Another woman yelled.

Soon, all of the villagers woke up, and they all found their things gone. Quickly they all rushed to the priestess hanyou. Inuyasha took Hikari and jumped into the branches of the tree. Kagome looked at them and yawned.

"What is it?" Kagome groaned.

"Milady, some took our things!" A man claimed.

"I know, I know, their already at the village we're going to." She stated. "Since you guys are all up, let's get going!"

Kagome stood up and howled loudly. It echoed throughout their surroundings. Suddenly black hair dog demons came around. There was probably and thirty of them, and three stood in front of Kagome, and they looked angrily. Two of them, however bowed to her.

/Bitch, why have you called us out here? I should kill you!\\ The standing one said.

/Do not threaten the Lady of North you idiot.\\ One of the demons that bowed told him.

/Keh! I wouldn't care less if-\\

/You are going to listen to me, I'm not afraid to kill because I've already killed my father. Now, do you wish to challenge me? I can have you banned from this clan.\\ Kagome said annoyed.

/I won't take orders from a hanyou.\\ He spat bitterly.

/Then you will take orders for the alliance.\\ Sesshomaru popped out.

/Lord Sesshomaru?\\ Kagome was taken back.

He bowed to her and she returned it, 'so, she's pregnant again,' he thought. /What is it you want?\\

/I have to handle my own clan.\\

/Not in your position you can't.\\

She knew that he understood that she was pregnant. /I want them to take the villagers to my village.\\

Sesshomaru looked to the North clan. /Well, you heard her, go.\\ He demanded.

All of the demons transformed into dogs and lowered their selves to the ground. Kagome told the villagers to get on their backs. They listened and they all got on and the demons stood and went to the village a little quickly.

/Thank you Sesshomaru.\\ Kagome smiled.

/I believe it's time for you to go as well.\\ Sesshomaru stated.

"Get away from her." Inuyasha jumped down and Hikari giggled, thinking that it was fun.

He looked to Kagome//is that you pup?\\

/Yup, your niece.\\ She smiled and took Hikari from Inuyasha and gave her to Sesshomaru.

"Hey, don't let him touch her!" Inuyasha roared.

"Settle down Inuyasha, you know he's family." Kagome kissed him on the lips.

"Feh! I don't want him touching her!"

"I see you haven't trained with him." Sesshomaru said a little annoyed as he gave her Hikari.

"I know, but I think I should take his place on going." Kagome stated.

"Not in your condition." He stated. /Your having two pups, aren't you?\\

/Shh! I want it to surprise Inuyasha!\\ She growled. "Oh well, I guess I can't go."

"It's time to go to your village."

Sesshomaru transformed into his dog form and bent down. Kagome got on and Inuyasha stared. She laughed and told him to get on. Inuyasha refused and Sesshomaru wasn't going to bother with this. He stood up on all four and grabbed Inuyasha by his obi tie and ran off. Hikari laughed at the blowing wind in her face.

He flung Inuyasha up in the air and leaped up as well. Kagome understood and caught Inuyasha's hand which showed him to sit down. Inuyasha then sat behind Kagome on Sesshomaru, a little annoyed.

/Hey Sesshy, let's just go to my village and then my clan catch up?\\ Kagome suggested happily.

/Very well.\\ Sesshomaru sped up more and passed the villagers on the demons' back.

Only an our later they arrived at the village. Sesshomaru went to a completely stop and the two hopped off so he transformed back. Kagome gave Hikari to Inuyasha and heard a small one cry out.

"Mama!" Shippo cried and jumped into her arms. "I missed you!"

"Shippo, we've only been gone two to four days." Kagome laughed.

"We finished the huts yesterday!" He smiled.

"That's good, were you a good pup?" She asked.

"Oh yes, acting just like a lord." Akemi chucked at her hut entrance.

"I should've known." Kagome laughed and turned to Sesshomaru. "Are you going to stay a little?"

"Till your villagers come, you might need transportation to them." Sesshomaru answered.

"Okay, thanks for the ride to."

He nodded//do you wish for me to stay longer?\\

/Well, I can watch over Rin, I will need some help anyways.\\ Kagome explained.

/Must I help?\\

/Pleeeeaaaaseeee?\\ She gave him a puppy look.

/Yes, yes. Rin will most likely take AhUn to get here by tracking my scent.\\

"Kay, thank you!" She kissed him on the cheek.

"What the hell was that for?" Inuyasha growled.

"What? He's my brother too now." Kagome huffed as Shippo climbed to her shoulder and she took Hikari.

"So what, he hates half breeds!" He continued growling.

"Yes, I do, however you are a lord now so I can't really fight against you, only with you." Sesshomaru stated.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"He means, stop being an asshole because he's not going to start a fight, and neither are you. Do you understand?" Kagome glared at him.

"Y-yes." Inuyasha stuttered which made Sesshomaru chuckle.

"I do believe you have no right to chuckle, Sesshy."

"..." He became silent.

The villagers then arrived at the village and the demons let them off so they left. Dogs soon came out of the empty huts. The villagers looked at the dogs a little worried. Kagome then walk forth with Inuyasha holding Hikari and Shippo on her shoulder.

"If a dog pulls on your clothes, then follow it. They will show you to your huts." Kagome told them and turned to Sesshomaru. "Why don't you go get Rin and return by tomorrow?" She asked. I know Inuyasha wants a little alone time with me.\\

/You aren't going rut whilst your pregnant are you?\\

Kagome growled at him, "I'm not stupid."

"My apologize." He stated then bowed, "I shall return tomorrow night."

Kagome bowed back, "we shall await."

"..." Inuyasha only watched as Kagome stood from her bow.

"Bow to your brother Inuyasha." She growled.

He growled back, "fine," he bowed annoyed.

"..." Sesshomaru reluctantly bowed back, then left.

--

"Shippo, did you eat lunch?" Kagome asked curiously.

"Yup." Shippo smiled.

"Then how about you go take a nap in your room?"

"Kay, I am a bit sleepy." He yawned and scampered off.

She looked at Inuyasha, "you go to our room," Kagome took Hikari, "I'll feed her and make her go to sleep, I'll come in with you after that."

"What about the new villagers?" Inuyasha asked curiously.

"Akemi knows we haven't had any alone time, so she'll help them." Kagome smiled.

"Alright, but do we have to nap?" He lowered his ears.

She kissed his lips, "we'll see, you've been very bad."

"I like that tone." Inuyasha shivered slightly.

Kagome walked in with Hikari in arms and Inuyasha to follow. When they came inside, Inuyasha took off his haori and gave it to Kagome to wrap their pup up in. She gave him another kiss and went to Hikari's room to feed her. About a half hour later she finished and passed out tiredly from being full. Kagome kissed her forehead and laid her on her futon. Then she remembered something and left the huge hut of hers. Inuyasha heard her leave and left their room to follow.

"Tisane!" Kagome called out.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Tisane dropped down.

"Where did you our stuff?" She asked.

"Ah, it's over here!" He went to go get it.

"Why'd you leave the hut without telling me?" Inuyasha said seductively.

"I'm not leaving the village puppy, just grabbing the stuff. Can I unpack some things first?" Kagome asked.

"No, I'll do it. I don't want you to hurt yourself or the unborn pup." He stated.

"It'll be okay."

"Here it is." Tisane brought it to her.

"Thanks Ti." Kagome was about to grab the handles but Inuyasha pulled her back gently.

"I'll do it, go head over to the hut." Inuyasha told her.

"Fine, fine." She walked beside him to the hut.

After about an hour everything fixed and Hikari was in the crib. Inuyasha picked her up and took her to their room. He sat her down and kissed lips which soon trailed down her jaw bone, to her neck, and to her shoulder.

"Inuyasha." Kagome said lightly.

"What?" Inuyasha stopped and looked at her.

"Don't over do it, you'll get aroused." She stated.

"I know, but I want to give you some attention."

He got up and went behind and pulled out the back of her robe out and slipped his hands under. His warm clawed hands moved up and down her waist and nuzzled his head into her shoulder. Kagome moaned lightly at his warm touches and scooted back as close as she could to him as he wanted, that's why he held her waist. Inuyasha would've done it himself but was afraid of hurting the unborn pup.

Now that Kagome was against him, his hand caressed her stomach. Inuyasha kissed her neck where the mating mark was. Kagome brought her hands up and above both their heads and placed them on his ears. When growled pleasingly as she began to massage them. His hand trailed up and felt that contraption and growled.

"Stop wearing these." Inuyasha demanded.

"Why, I'm use to them." Kagome stated.

"Yeah well it's not good for you bearing my pups." He stated.

"You just want more access."
"Yeah... that too."

Kagome unhooked the bra and placed it aside in a little hamper that they made. After a minute, she realized something and started to get up. Inuyasha kept her down and brought her close to him.

"What's the matter?" Inuyasha asked.

"I need to make Yoshiro do something, it's important." Kagome stated.

"What? I can't do it?" He asked.

"You wouldn't want to because you'd have to leave the village and me here for a while."

Inuyasha released her and Kagome got to her feet and fix her robe. She felt Inuyasha feel a little sad and it made her feel bad. Kagome rubbed one of his ears and smiled.

"I'll be right back, I'm sorry." Kagome smiled.

--

"Yoshiro" Kagome called out.

"Yes?" Yoshiro walked to her.

/Can you do me a favor, Inuyasha needs to stay.\\ She asked.

/Sure.\\

/Can you go to…

--

Kagome returned back into the hut and into their room. She saw Inuyasha lying down with his back toward her. Instantly she knew that he was angry because she kept leaving him. But her chores of telling what to do were done and she came to him.

"Inuyasha, what wrong?" Kagome asked worriedly, knowing what it was already.

"Nothing." Inuyasha instantly replied.

"I'm sorry that I've been leaving you for the past hour, but we have things to do." She explained.

"We could've placed those aside for a while." He growled.

"Inuyasha, we're lord and lady of the north, nothing, is to be put aside for us." Kagome walked over and sat on the futon and rubbed his arm and he shrugged her off.

Well why are we?" He asked coldly.

"Both of our fathers were."

"I don't want to be a lord." Inuyasha stated.

Kagome felt broke now and stood up. "Well I'm sorry that you don't want to be one. I for one thought you wouldn't mind because you loved me," she started to cry, "but I guess not." Her legs moved quickly and she ran off.

"Wait Kagome!" Inuyasha sat up reaching out to the door she ran out of, but she was already gone.

Inuyasha's ears flattened sadly, he just drove his mate to run away, from him no less. He knew he had to comfort her, but he didn't; he didn't like being a lord. But, on the night of that ceremony, he chose to be one with Kagome. He thought that they had it easy because Sesshomaru was always walking around his territory and stuff.

Thinking that it was most wise, he lied back down. He was trying to get some rest, but the faint scent of Kagome on the futon faded away. It was going to be one restless night for him. Inuyasha was now completely stressed.

--

Five hours total have passed by and not a single sound broke the quietness of the hut. Kagome had yet to return, and it made Inuyasha worry a lot more than he needed to. He kept moving around in the futon, trying to sleep. It was all futile though because he kept imagining how he made her feel bad.

Minutes later, Hikari started to wake up. And what do pup do when they wake? They start to whimper and cry; and that's what Hikari started to do. Inuyasha got up and went to her room. He knew what she wanted; she was hungry, but couldn't feed her.

He held her and tried to rock her back and forth hoping that it would calm her down a little. Hikari only cried louder and louder, making his ears hurt more and more. Inuyasha never realized that maybe Kagome dealt with this when he went to go catch their meal. She would always seem a bit stressed from time to time. But right now he couldn't do anything, it was driving him insane as he closed his eyes tighter and tighter! He sat down and placed her in his lap and held his abused ears against his head. Hikari crawled out of his lap and went to the center of her room. Thank Buddha that Shippo was a heavy sleeper.

Suddenly, the crying stopped. Inuyasha released his pounding ears to hear quietness. The scent of demon flooded his nose and his eyes shot open in fear. That fear left when he saw Kagome standing there feeding Hikari.

Twenty minutes of silence and Kagome finished feeding Hikari. The little pup was again fallen into the deep slumber of her little puppy land. Kagome walked over to the crib and placed her in it with the haori and a baby blanket to cover her. Inuyasha's eyes widen when he saw Kagome's back.

Her back had four bloody claw marks and the blood seeped through her torn robe. Inuyasha stood up quietly and went behind her. His hand touched her back and she flinched. He absorbed a little of the pain as she began to struggle roughly away from him. Inuyasha didn't allow that so he wrapped his strong arms around her to calm her, but was careful to not harm her.

Kagome stopped struggling and Inuyasha kept one hand around her waist and brought his other hand to her back. Quickly he absorbed the rest of the pain and released her. She moved away from him angrily but when she turned around, he placed his lips onto hers. A minute later her broke away when he felt her calm down.

"I'm sorry about earlier," Inuyasha whispered.

"…" Kagome didn't reply to him.

"I was just in a bad mood because I wanted some time with you. I'm happy to be your mate, and I will stay as a lord for you, what ever I have to go through." He promised.

She looked at him and hugged him lightly, "I love you."

"Yeah… I love you too," he hugged back, "nothing will change that."

They released each other and Kagome left the room with Inuyasha to follow. It seems that she went hunting for some fish. She made a fire and set the fish over it to heat them. Few minutes later they were roasted and Kagome gave him one while she ate the other.

"Don't run off again, please." Inuyasha asked sitting next to her.

"Then don't be in asshole." Kagome replied.

"But I-!" He was cut off.

"I know you wanted the attention, but you still have to respect who we are now."

"I know, I'm sorry."

"By the way, Sesshomaru is returning tomorrow to help train you." Kagome said quickly.

"What!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Shh! Hikari is sleeping," she glared, "I have to take care of her, so Sesshomaru will teach you how to behave as a lord."

"I don't want to." He huffed.

"If you do that for me, I'll teach you how to speak demon when I teach Hikari." Kagome stated.

"I hate my brother." Inuyasha pouted.

"You practically hate everyone." She teased.

"Feh!"

"So you'll take the offer? Let Sesshomaru teach you to be a lord and I'll teach you to speak demon." She asked.

"Fine… damn it." He huffed.
