InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Witch's Spell ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Sadly, they aren't mine. I only use them for my wicked fantasies.

Chapter 8

Sesshomaru's eyes snapped open and he looked around. He breathed a sigh of relief as he realized he was in his own bed, in his penthouse apartment, in Tokyo. "Why am I dreaming of a human woman? What does this mean? Granted she was beautiful, but a human. Perhaps, I should consider a mate. That maybe the problem, I do need an heir and my mind is telling me to find one.", he thought, laying back in his bed.

He couldn't understand it, he began dreaming of her a few days ago. They always seemed so real, as if it really happened. He sifted through his memories again, searching for her face and coming up blank again.

"It's probably just a girl you saw passing by you one day, and we thought her pretty.", his youkai interjected.

"It's odd, almost like I should know her.", he thought.

"It's because she has the qualities you want in a mate. You have created the woman you want in your dreams, using a beautiful woman you saw on the street.", his inner demon theorized.

"What about the fact that she is human? Why would I choose a human?", he asked himself.

"It maybe that you haven't found a female with what you seek, and deep inside you know you never will. You have made your dream mate a human, because a demon would never submit to the demands we would place on her.", it told him.

"This Sesshomaru does not wish for a human mate.", he thought.

"Then, start looking for a suitable demon to mate.", his youkai announced. He silently agreed with it and closed his eyes again, thinking he could sleep a little longer.

Meanwhile........

Kristin took a deep breath and went downstairs. Camille stood waiting for her in the living room. "What on earth are you thinking?", she demanded, her voice angry.

Kristin smiled at her, "I think I was making love to the man who asked me to be with him. He told me he couldn't stay away, even though he meant to."

"This is a mess, do you hear me? You two live 500 years apart, how are you going to do this? You are both going to wind up very hurt.", she warned.

"Sesshomaru says that demons live thousands of years and that he would be alive right now, living in Japan. At this point, waiting for the right time to come for me.", Kristin smiled.

"I don't like this one bit, honey. I'm just worried that he is not the one for you, and that he is using you.", Camille said.

Kristen sighed, "Camille, can't you be happy for me? I found someone I can love and be with."

Camille gave her a worried look, "I won't say anything, but remember, I am always here for you. I can't help but feel that this is going to end with a lot of pain, and on both sides. Now, tell me why is he hiding in your room and not down here with you?"

Kristen laughed, "He's naked and I didn't think you wanted him parading around nude."

"Where are his clothes?", she asked.

"He told me that he was in his bed, when he decided he couldn't stay away, and that he came without bothering to dress.", Kristen answered.

"He came here nude?", Camille demanded.

Kristen nodded her head and grinned, "I told him I would go and get him clothes. Will you come help me?"

"Oh, dear God.", Camille sighed, rolling her eyes. She grabbed her purse and coat, "Let's go. I have to be back in time to get Joey."

They came back a couple of hours later, arms laden with packages. "I'm going to get Joey. I told Bill I would pick him up tonight.", Camille disappeared back out of the door. Kristen grinned and ran upstairs, into her room.

Sesshomaru woke as she walked in and dropped the packages on the bed. He opened his arms and she crawled onto the bed, into them. He kissed her, then smiled at her, "I'm glad you have returned safely."

She grinned at sat up, grabbing the nearest bag. "I didn't know what to get. So, I bought jeans, joggers, and Dockers.", she began emptying the bags.

Sesshomaru's eyes grew wide at the clothing she pulled out. "Here's underwear. Camille said to get you this kind.", she handed him a pack of boxer briefs.

She looked at his face, "I know it's a lot to take in, but Joey's coming home and I would like us to be downstairs when you meet him."

Sesshomaru nodded, but continued to stare at the package. Kristen took it and tore it open, handing him a pair. "Put a leg in each hole and then pull them up.", she told him.

He did as was instructed and marveled at the feel of them. She handed him blue jeans and a blue crew neck sweater. The blue jeans felt stiff and heavy to him, but he liked the feel of the sweater.

Kristen showed him how to zipper and button his pants, then stepped back and looked him over. "Very nice.", she announced, "I bought boots, similar to your other ones."

Suddenly, she smiled at him, "I know it's not what you are used to, but it is what males wear now."

He nodded and slipped on his boots. She reached out and grabbed his hand, 'Come on, I want you to meet Joey." Sesshomaru allowed her to lead him to the living room and to the couch.

Midnight stood from his perch and hissed at Sesshomaru, then took off running. Kristen gave him a funny look, "That's odd, he only does that around dogs.", she said.

Sesshomaru chuckled, "That's because I'm a dog demon. Most evolved youkai take after an animal in nature. My line happens to be canine."

Kristen laughed a little, and sobered, "Something tells me that you are much, much more dangerous than a mere dog."

He nodded at her, "Koi, I won't lie to you. There are many who would see me dead, and because you carry my pup, you as well. That's why I wish to keep you here or I would take you home with me. You would be in too much danger there. I expect to be in a very good position when time finally catches up for me, and will be better able to protect you here." She didn't answer him, merely nodded, accepting his decision.

"I'm going to return to my time and speak with Kagome about you. I wish to make sure she and Inuyasha know to watch for you. That way if something were to happen, I will be sure you and the pup will be protected.", he said.

"Would someone try to hurt us? Even if you were dead?", she asked.

"It is a very real possibility, the pup you carry is heir to my title and lands. There are a few that would see my line wither and die.", he answered.

"What do you mean by heir to your title?', she demanded.

"I am Inutaiyoukai, as I have told you, it is what you would consider a Lord.", he answered. Her eyes grew huge at his answer and he grinned at her, "Don't worry, Koi, I will teach you what you need to know."

Before she could respond the front door flew open and a small boy ran into the house, yelling, "Hey, Kristen. Guess what? I'm going to have a baby brother or sister." He stopped dead and just stared at Sesshomaru, his deep brown eyes were huge.

"Well, that is GREAT news. Come in and meet my friend.", Kristen smiled at him. The boy came farther into the room stopping a few feet from them.

"Joseph Hudson, may I present Sesshomaru, Inutaiyoukai of the Western Lands of Nippon. Sesshomaru this is Camille's son, Joseph or Joey.", she said.

The boy looked at him, "You aren't human are you?"

"No, I am a youkai. I am not from this time or land. Now, I must ask that you say nothing of my presence. It could put your mother and Kristen in danger, and I can not be at their sides to protect them all the time.", he said.

Joey nodded and Kristen said, "Did I hear say that you are going to be a big brother?" Joey grinned and nodded. Then he sat down on the floor and told them all about it.

Camille joined them partway through the long winded story, laughing when he said that Bill's new wife was real sick all the time. She looked at the time, "Come on Joey. You need a bath and have school tomorrow."

The boy rolled his eyes, but did as his mother bid, leaving Sesshomaru and Kristen alone together. Sesshomaru grinned at her, "Is it that way all the time?"

Kristen grinned and said, "No, he's really excited about the baby. He has wanted a sibling for a long time."

"Oh, all right.", he said.

"Where you worried?", she grinned at him, patting her stomach. Then laughed at his face. She reached up and stroked his cheek, "They are all different. He may be quiet or loud and boisterous, we have to wait and see."

He nodded and kissed her, "I'm going back to my time and find Kagome. I am unsure of when I will return. Sometimes, she is not with my brother." He stood, pulling her up with him. He wrapped his arms around her and said, "Get plenty of rest and make sure you eat well. We want our pup to be healthy."

She burrowed into his embrace, enjoying the feeling being there brought. He made her feel protected and loved. She felt his fingers under her chin lifting her face, "I will be back soon." He gave her a quick kiss and stepped away from her. He touched the computer mouse and then the screen, disappearing in an instant.

He arrived back at the cave, heading for the mouth and off, hunting his brother. He found them in the village that Inuyasha often stayed near, in the old woman's hut. He knocked and entered when bid, shocking everyone that sat there.

No one expected Sesshomaru, and Kagome's eyes were huge at his clothing. He acknowledged Kaede, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo. He looked at Kagome, "I have need of your assistance, may I speak with you privately?"

Kagome's eyes flew to Inuyasha, then to Sesshomaru's clothes and back again. Inuyasha nodded his head, staring at Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha, you may come along if you feel that you need to protect her.", he sighed.

They left the hut, and he walked for a bit as if trying to find a way to start. Suddenly, he looked at her, "What year is it?"

The question, so unexpected, caused her to blurt out, "Two thousand eight." Sesshomaru chuckled and her eyes flew to Inuyasha, apology in their depths.

"That's a very interesting place. I found something very precious to me there.", he said.

"What do you mean, Sesshomaru?", Inuyasha demanded.

Sesshomaru sighed, "I have found a passage to the future, as Kagome has found a passage here. While I was there, I met my future mate and created my first pup."

"You WHAT?", he demanded.

"I claimed my mate to be and we created our first pup.", he repeated.

"How?", Kagome demanded suddenly. She didn't like this. Sesshomaru did not seem himself at all, and she got a sudden sense of foreboding.

Sesshomaru quickly explained about Rianna and the portal she created. How he could travel to her world, how he had stopped the man attacking her.

Kagome got a look on her face, "Sesshomaru-sama, please tell me this female is a demon."

"No, Kagome, she is human. That is why I have left her there. She is safer there with our pup than here.", he said.

"Does she know?", she demanded.

"Yes, she knows who I am and everything about me.", he said.

"So what do you need help with?", Inuyasha asked, stunned at the admission that his brother had created a hanyou.

"I wish to wait to claim her until that time, but five hundred years is a long time. I want to think of a plan that she could come to you, if I don't come for her.", he explained.

Understanding dawned on Kagome, "She can go to the family shrine. I'm sure that Mom and Grandpa would take care of her until we can get her to you. If we had a date it would be better."

"Yes, how about expect her around Obon? She will be close at that time. She will only come if I don't come for her, and the only way I will not claim her is if I am dead.", he explained.

"Sesshomaru, may I ask you why a human?", Inuyasha questioned, not believing his ears.

He shrugged, "She is what I want in a mate. She submits to my will, but isn't a senseless female."

Inuyasha nodded and said, "Congratulations, brother. Perhaps, we will get to meet her."

Sesshomaru nodded and gave a brief description of Kristen and her name. Then he flew off, leaving Kagome and Inuyasha standing looking at each other with dumbfounded faces.

"Inuyasha, I don't like this at all. There is something wrong, I can feel it. He's different, warmer somehow.", Kagome said.

"I agree. At this point, all we can do is wait and see what happens.", Inuyasha said.

"I need to go home and talk with my family. They will need to be prepared for anything.", she said, turning for Kaede's hut.
