Chapter 3
 
One New Member Makes Four
 
Summary
 
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are young lovers trying to survive in a prejudice world. Can they stay alive and keep their pups safe? Read to find out.
 
Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Shippo had been walking for hours without taking a brake. Shippo was asleep, curled up in Sesshomaru's arms with his small head resting on Sesshomaru's fluffy tail (?).
 
The sun had set hours ago giving the gang concealment from any enemies.
 
Walking into a wooded area Sesshomaru decided to stop for the night and keep going in the morning.
 
Inuyasha set up camp with a small fire and set Shippo in a bunch of soft leaves next to Sesshomaru.
 
“He is kind of cute when he is asleep. But a loud mouth and knuckle head when he is awake.” Inuyasha said covering Shippo with a large leaf as a makeshift blanket.
 
“Like someone else l know.” Sesshomaru said looking at Shippo then Inuyasha.
 
“You wanna start something Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha said to his calm mate.
 
“Yes. But not what your thinking.” Sesshomaru said getting up and walking over to Inuyasha.
 
Sesshomaru stood directly in front of Inuyasha and he could feel the heat coming of his little brother.
 
Inuyasha was almost shaking with excitement knowing what Sesshomaru was getting at.
 
“Sesshomaru you know we can't do this. Shippo is here and we might hurt the pups.” Inuyasha said worriedly.
 
“Inuyasha the pups are demons and can look after themselves even if they aren't born, and Shippo is to far asleep you could shout loudly and he still shouldn't wake up.” Sesshomaru said reassuringly.
 
“You better be right.” Inuyasha said before kissing his mate passionately.

The sun rose early but not before our travelers started on their journey again.
 
“Inuyasha since you are going to have pups what do l call you?” Shippo asked his foster parent.
 
“Well.” Inuyasha paused thinking of how to answer, “I guess because l am male mum would be to female, so l can daddy would work and Sesshomaru dad.”
 
Shippo processed this information and decided the answer was acceptable. “Okay daddy.”
 
The three where walking most of the day but stopped for a little break.
 
“Where are we going dad.” Shippo asked walking over to Sesshomaru.
 
“We are going back to my castle to retrieve my adopted daughter Rin. You have met her on a few occasions.” Sesshomaru said bending down to Shippo's eye level.
 
Shippo's eyes twinkled with excitement.
 
“You mean l am going to have a sister.” Shippo asked his adopted parents.
 
“An older sister to be exact Shippo.” Inuyasha said picking him up and giving him hug. Sesshomaru stood up and walked over to his mate and adopted son to join in a group hug.

Rin was walking in the palace gardens with her guard with Jaken lecturing her on something she wasn't interested in.
 
Rin was wearing an old kimono with bits eaten by moths and parts with fading color
because of old age.
 
After Sesshomaru left to be with Inuyasha the castle had gone down hill. Higher demons where fighting for lordship and servants where escaping to be safe from the destruction the demons where creating.
 
Half the castle grounds where used for battling arenas and the other half used for training soldiers to take the castle by force.
 
The only part left untouched where Sesshomaru's private chambers and his private gardens where Rin was currently walking. Nobody dared touch the lord's belongings fearing if he was to come back it would mean curtain death.
 
Rin was being held captive by the other lords and only areas she was allowed was her room, Sesshomaru's room and gardens. The higher demons didn't see her as a threat as her being the heir but worried if she was let out she would find Sesshomaru and tell him of the happenings.

Rin, Jaken and her guard Daisuke, or Dai for short, where nearing the castle walls and the only thing standing in Rin's way of freedom. That was about to change.
 
Dai grabbed Rin quickly while kicking Jaken in the head with his foot knocking him unconscious. Being a Neko-youkai Dai could jump high over the walls with Rin under his arm and land safely on the other side.
 
After landing on the ground Daisuke moved Rin so she was bridle style and ran as fast as he could away from the castle in the direction Sesshomaru was last seen.
 
The pair had been running for hours when Dai picked up the sent of Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and a male kit (Shippo).
 
Running in that direction Daisuke quickly came across the three travelers f=ready for battle if he was a threat.
 
Sesshomaru was immediately on guard when he saw Rin presuming she was in danger.
 
“I mean only peace Lord Sesshomaru. I am here to give Rin back to you.” Daisuke said quickly not wanting to give the wrong impression.
 
Hearing his words and smelling no lie in his scent Inuyasha and Sesshomaru put their swords away signaling they too wanted piece.
 
Daisuke put Rin on the ground and watched her run into Sesshomaru's waiting arms. After Rin ran into his arms Sesshomaru picked her up and gave her a hug with a smile on his face. (Surprising!)
 
“Lord Sesshomaru Rin is so happy to see you!” Rin said giggling happily.
 
“Rin we are going to be a real family. You, Inuyasha, Shippo and I.” Sesshomaru said explaining things to the little girl.
 
“You mean Inuyasha is going to be my daddy and Shippo my younger brother.” Rin worked out.
“Inuyasha is pregnant with my pups and l will be your dad as usual.” Rin took a few minutes to process this information with a serious look on her face. Prepared for the worst, Inuyasha was surprised when Rin's face broke into a happy grin and reached out her hands to hug him.
 
Inuyasha reached over and grabbed Rin from Sesshomaru and gave her a big hug. Shippo jumped onto his shoulder to look at Rin and to say hi.
 
“Hi. I'm Shippo and I'm going to be your younger brother.” Shippo said waving to his now adopted older sister.
 
“Hi Shippo.” Replied Rin with a little smile and wave of her own a little shy.
 
“Rin are you ready to leave?” Sesshomaru asked walking next to his family.
 
“I wanna say good-bye to Dai.” Rin said jumping down from Inuyasha's arms and running over to the patiently waiting Daisuke.
 
When Rin was in front of him Daisuke bend down to her eye level.
 
“This is for you Dai.” Rin said innocently retrieving a necklace with a small shell pendant on it, “I made it when we went to the river last week.”
 
Daisuke bent his head so Rin could put the necklace over his head.
 
“Thank you Rin. I will keep it with me always.” Dai said fingering the shell.
 
Rin stood on the tips of her toes and gave Daisuke a small kiss on the cheek then ran back to where her family was waiting to leave.
 
“Bye Daisuke. I'll see you again someday.” Rin said smiling at her friend waving her hand good-bye.
 
Daisuke waved to Rin until she was out of site the said, “Be safe little Rin.”
