InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Betrayal's Gift ❯ Chapter 18

Ok, well, I had just watched all of Ronini Kenchin and I must say, for the meiji era, I love him and Sanoske and Yahiko. Oh, Yahiko makes me so darn proud I want my son to grow up just like him *cheesy smile* Oh, and the movie, my god, could they make anyone feel anymore depressed. I mean I am honest when I say that I was sad for at least three days. My heart still hurts when I think about it now. I had to go to the neighborhood anime video store and rent a comedy. I rented steel angel Kurumi. Oh, I like that one too, it's so cute. I'm getting ready to watch the sakura wars and see how that one is.

 

Well enough of my rambling and on with the story. Enjoy!

Inuyasha was training Shippo in the dojo for Inuyasha it was good exercise but for Shippo it was military boot camp, Inuyasha was working him hard.

 

“Damn it Shippo I told you to block! I'm not going to go easy on you, if you were confronted with a really strong youkai, your ass could get killed!”

 

“But, Inuyasha I'm just a kid!” He smiled showing a pointy fang as he panted, his muscles flexing on its own with each breath. He knew that comment wasn't going to work, but, it was funny.

 

“The hell you are, that excuse it old. Your practically in the second stage of your life. You know if we add up the years that you were actually walking this planet you'd be a freakin old man, now get off your dumb ass and really attack!”

 

Inuyasha wouldn't take any of his whining or any of his excuses or any of the young youkai's playfulness for that matter. This was a serious workout.

 

“Well, according to human years I'm just really about thirteen.” Shippo pouted.

 

“Yeah, you're the only freakin thirteen year old who's old enough to sit there and hump all of my damn concubines or servants with skilled knowledge.”

 

Shippo blushed. He didn't worry that Inuyasha would be mad at him for sleeping with any of the females in his house, for Inuyasha shared his concubines. Actually, any female who was in the small castle was fair game to any male youkai that crossed her path. The one rule Inuyasha had was that …

 

“If the bitch gets pregnant I'm not dealing with it. I'm selling her and the pup, got that whelp.”

 

Shippo realized that he has been sleeping around too much and not really heeding his mentor's words. He actually knocked up one of the cleaning maids that takes care of Inuyasha's rooms. However, Inuyasha didn't know that yet.

 

Shippo was afraid to tell him because he was afraid that Inuyasha would do just as he said and sell the servant and his child. Though Shippo didn't want to make her his permanent mate, he didn't want to lose his child and being that he lives with Inuyasha well, lets just say the situation was a very sticky place for Shippo.

 

He just knew that Inuyasha would bust a vein when he found out, so he was saving his coin to buy the servant from him. He was extremely thankful that Inuyasha's mind is currently occupied with the girl Hotaru and the fact that he wants to exact his revenge on Kagome.

Though Shippo didn't agree with Inuyasha's plan, he didn't argue too much on the matter.

 

“Damn it Shippo you aren't paying any damn attention!”

 

“I'm sorry Inuyasha, I was just thinking about Hotaru that's all.”

 

“Why the hell are you thinking about her when you're training runt?”

 

Inuyasha growled out. Shippo smiled nervously and backed away from the angry youkai.

 

“No, it's nothing…I was just wondering how she was doing is all…I still can't believe that she's Kagome's daughter.”

 

Inuyasha looked reflective for a moment and Shippo sighed. He still remembered the angered youkai who came home that night and destroyed all the furnishing in the bedroom and destroyed all the shoji screens just to get there.

 

“The lesson is over for today Shippo, next time have your mind focused and stop with all the damn whining too. You really need to learn how to save your own ass cause I ain't going to do it all the damn time.”

 

“I will Inuyasha.”

 

They headed out of the dojo and separated when a familiar scent hit Inuyasha's nose.

 

“Oi general Iruka, what brings you here?”

 

“Ahh Inuyasha...Your not as fast as you used to be… are we getting old?”

 

A tall dark skinned youkai with black hair that ran down to the back of his thighs and ice blue eyes pulled out from around the corner with a big grin on his face.

 

“Keh, if I'm getting old than your way past your prime Iruka.”

 

They both laughed and then Inuyasha noticed some of his female servants hovering in one corner lusting after the tall dark and handsome youkai, all of them were dusting the same ceramic urn decorating the corner of the room trying desperately to get his attention.

 

“You damn horny wenches get back to work!” He growled out and using a small of amount of his youki pulled out his red whip and spanked them all on their bottoms.

 

General Iruka laughed as they all scattered like puppies with their tails between their legs.

 

“Ah, that brought back memories; your brother had that same problem with me all the time. He didn't care if I bedded any of his concubines or servants, but, it did annoy the hell out of him when nothing got done…but it all stopped when I chose Rin to be my mate. It felt good to be ogled again.”

 

“Give it a rest Iruka, when ever your on a long mission you take your piece of ass where you can find it, don't make yourself sound so committed.”

 

General Iruka looked at Inuyasha affronted.

 

“Hey don't go painting ugly pictures, I love Rin, and as a matter of fact I am committed to her, you go without your mate for months on end and see if you wouldn't dabble with a horny wench in heat. You may rut other wenches but you see your mates face. Don't go getting all self righteous until you've walked a good century in my shoes.”

 

“Feh, I know what it feels like to be betrayed by the one you love; besides I won't have that problem being that I plan on never taking a damn mate.”

 

Iruka just looked at Inuyasha with those damn cool blue eyes and smiled. Inuyasha growled and continued with his tirade.

 

“You wouldn't have had that problem of cheating on your damn wife if you married a youkai, you could have taken her with you.”

 

“Hey, you were going to get involved with a mortal not once but twice remember?”

 

Iruka said in a non threatening manner however, Inuyasha began to growl as he looked at the other man.

 

“Well, I may be slow at learning my damn lesson, but once I've learned it I never make the same mistake again.”

 

Iruka sighed, he knew Inuyasha's story. However, he knew that to argue with this dog demon he'd never win.

 

“Why are you here anyway Iruka?”

 

“I've come to collect you. Lord Sesshomaru said for you to come to the castle and bring your best clothes.”

 

Inuyasha stopped scowling and opened his golden eyes wide like a child on Christmas morning.

 

“What are you telling me? Are you saying what I think your saying?”

 

Iruka laughed and nodded his head.

 

“You idiot! Your sitting here wasting time trying to argue about your faithfulness when I needed to go!”

 

The next thing Iruka knew was that he was pushed down on to the ground as a flash of silver and flesh color whizzed through the corridor.

 

A few moments later Inuyasha was ready to go. He made sure to tell Shippo where he was going to be and why.

 

An excited kitsune was also informed that he would be in charge until his return. Shippo put on a serious face and let Inuyasha know that he would take care of it not to worry.

 

“Well Iruka you old dog are you ready to keep up with me?”

 

With that said Inuyasha used his youki and transformed into his true form a formidable white dog with perky ears instead of the droopy ones Sesshomaru possessed.

 

Iruka smiled and summoned his powers to do the same. He in turn transformed and followed Inuyasha to Sesshomaru's castle.

----------------------------------------------

Once Inuyasha arrived at his brother's he immediately looked for him and found him pacing the front room of his chambers.

 

“Am I too late?”

 

Sesshomaru looked up, his hair was all raveled and for the first time in Inuyasha's life the dog demon looked tired.

 

“No, she just now went into full labor. She's been nesting now for a full week, and when her water broke I knew to send for you. But now she's in there…”

 

Sesshomaru looked toward the door. Inuyasha smelling the air could tell that she was indeed in labor. Inuyasha scratched the back of his head for he didn't really know what to do now; he's never been in a situation like this before.

 

“Uh… well do you have names picked out?”

 

Thanking the small distraction Sesshomaru sat down and went through his list of names and their meanings.

 

“Those are good strong names what does Ayame think of them?”

 

“Well so far we've argued. The names I picked she said are all boy names, she feels it's a girl.”

 

“Oh I see and you feel differently.”

 

“This Sesshomaru will only have boys. Our father had only sons, why would it be different for me?”

 

Inuyasha nodded his head. Then memories of Kagome filtered his mind.

 

~Flash Back~

 

Annoyed Kagome gritted out:

 

“Miroku if you and Sango had children it wouldn't be her fault if she had a girl. The determining factor is on the male. She has the x chromosome and you have the y.”

 

Miroku, Sango and Inuyasha all looked at her insane. They had no idea what she was talking about.

 

“But Lady Kagome, how can it be the fault of the man's if he has a girl. It is truly the woman's fault.”

 

Kagome got angry and her eyebrow began to twitch dangerously.

 

“I have to remember that I am dealing with medieval people here. (huff) Ok, look…”

 

She took out her science textbook and turned to the page that she was talking about.

 

“See, women have x x chromosomes and a man has x y chromosomes.” She began pointing out the way things work in her book and educating them.

 

“So do you understand now Miroku, if you had a child and that child were to be female it would not be Sango's fault but your own. However, I don't understand why you would or any other male have a problem with females, I mean really Miroku look at Sango. She's a strong independent women. She has a mind of her own and she's intelligent, so why wouldn't you be proud to have a daughter with her?”

 

Miroku looked up at a blushing Sango.

 

“I would love for her to bear my children; we could keep trying until we had a son to carry my name but in the process I would hope that each of our daughters look and act like my precious Sango.”

 

Sango was nearly competing with a beet as both of her hands fisted into her cheeks with embarrassment when he rubbed her round bottom and got slapped for it in the process by both girls.

 

~End Flash Back~

 

Inuyasha smiled sadly as he thought of that memory. But then he looked up toward the room that his sister in law was in.

 

“You know Sesshomaru, if you had a girl would it be so bad?”

 

Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha with a shocked face.

 

“Are you trying to hex me Inuyasha?” He said dangerously.

 

Inuyasha laughed and folded his hands into his kimono sleeves while he sat crossed legged on the cushioned pillow on the floor.

 

“No, I'm not. You have to get your mind out of the medieval ages. You know I've learned that we men control what our women breed.”

“What? Explain this to me at once.”

 

“Yeah, I learned it a long time ago; saw it in one of Kagome's futuristic books. It's called a science book. Anyway, she showed us that we carry the genes that determine whether we have a boy or not.”

 

Sesshomaru was of coarse intrigued and so sat and listen to the lesson Inuyasha gave. By the time they were through the mid-wife came in.

 

“My lord…”

 

With that she bowed low and moved to the side to let him through.

 

Inuyasha sat there now impatiently shaking his leg waiting to hear from his brother. The wood was so thick he couldn't use his sensitive hearing to hear anything.

 

`Damn it, what's taking so long?' He thought angrily to himself as he shot daggers at the door with his golden eyes.

 

Finally when he was about to bounce off the walls Sesshomaru came out.

 

“So?”

 

Looking off past his younger brother he sat down.

 

“I've got two boys and three girls.”

 

“What?!”

 

“Two sons, three daughters…I've got five pups.”

 

“Damn…well at least she was in her full youkai form.” A shocked Inuyasha said sitting next a very stunned Sesshomaru.

 

Yet Inuyasha was stunned and so did not see his brother shake his silver head gracefully in the negative.

 

“So, who's the oldest?”

 

At this Sesshomaru smiled triumphantly.

 

“The boy of coarse.”

 

With that Inuyasha smiled too and patted the new father on the back.

 

“Well, may I go in now and congratulate her?”

 

Sesshomaru nodded as Rin, Iruka and Jaken came into the room.
