Consequences: Chapter Twelve

 

 

A/N: I intended for there to be a lemon in this chapter, but thanks to Inuyasha and Sesshy being uncooperative, it'll have to wait.

 

Thankyou to everyone who left me reviews! They're very helpful and make me so very happy!

Special thanks to Dimitria Miriam for liking my story even though its mpreg, and providing me with an idea I thought was so hilarious I had to use it! I don't know how well I managed to write it, but it definitely made me laugh a lot.

Waves of panic washed over Inuyasha as he realised that Sesshomaru was nearby. His only hope was that thanks to his high position seated in the branches of the tree Sesshomaru might not have smelt him yet. Perhaps there was still a chance of escape… if he could just reach the one place Sesshomaru couldn't go to quickly enough…maybe he and his baby would be safe for a while.

Inuyasha made a mad dash back through the village and into the forest, not stopping until he reached the well.

He hesitated. If he went through, the well could be destroyed, trapping him on the other side. That was to be avoided at all costs. Considering the slight possibility that Sesshomaru hadn't smelt him, and maybe would just go away, and that he didn't know for sure that the bastard would try to hurt him, Inuyasha decided to perch himself on the edge of the well, to be used as a last resort if Sesshomaru came after him and threatened his pup or life.

 

 

 

Sesshomaru only had an instant to take in Inuyasha's strangely…feminine?…scent before it rapidly began to disappear. So Inuyasha had smelt him coming and was running off somewhere? Why? He seemed to have gone toward the human village…could he be blaming him for upsetting the relationship with his miko, and looking to get help from his companions to attack him? She had thought what they'd done was disgusting…maybe Inuyasha had been converted to her opinion, and as the instigator of their activities, Sesshomaru had been villainised in his mind? It would have been fairly easy for her, he reasoned, considering how apprehensive and confused Inuyasha had been, and after all the…well, villainous things he'd done to his brother in the past.

Or maybe Inuyasha didn't know he was there, and was simply going back to the village for the night, or maybe he just wanted to avoid seeing him.

Sesshomaru made his way closer to the village, listening carefully so as to determine which of the various possibilities was correct. Amidst the nonsensical babble coming from the various huts of the village, he was eventually able to detect the voices of his brother's companions, and focused his attention on them. He could not hear Inuyasha's voice among them. Had he not returned to them then? He could not hear the miko, either…had the two gone off somewhere together?

Sesshomaru glared into the darkness.

“-uyasha's face when he found out!” The taijiya girl giggled, she seeming to be talking about Inuyasha… He tuned his ears carefully to pick up the conversation.

“As long as he doesn't hit it over the head all the time, I think it should be ok.” The little kitsune was saying. They all sounded very happy and excited…what were they talking about?

“He will need to improve on his temper if he is to be a good parent…” Came the voice of some old woman. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. Parent, she said? What was the meaning of this?

“I think Inuyasha will make a good parent...” Said the houshi.

“Just think how cute their kid'll be! With those two for parents- how adorable!” Said the excited taijiya…

Parent?! INUYASHA?! Inuyasha was going to be a father?! No wonder he'd had a feminine scent about him! He'd probably spent the entire day cuddling with his filthy, disgusting, newly-pregnant little miko whore! Sesshomaru stopped listening, too furious to care what else they had to say about it.

What had happened?! Had he been with the girl when he went into heat, and then left because of some argument or maybe gotten carried away in his lust, then not wanting her to become pregnant had left, and then returned to find it had happened anyway? Or maybe when they'd been re-united, they'd been wishing to strengthen and re-affirm their bond so badly, they'd decided to start a family at once?! How deplorable! He'd been jealous before, but this….this was something that went far beyond the scope of such a word. He did not want Inuyasha anywhere near the dirty wench or any pathetic little human offspring that came from her…the thought of them, together, happily making a little family together had Sesshomaru growling under his breath. Rational thought was quickly degenerating, his eyes glazing red as his instincts and emotions overtook. Inuyasha should belong to him! He would not tolerate his Inuyasha being with that filthy, unworthy thing! Making a family with it! How disgraceful! How stupid, foolish, intolerable, utterly, unacceptable! Sesshomaru would not allow it! He wanted him, and he would damn well have him!

 

It had been a few minutes since he arrived at the well, and Inuyasha was beginning to calm down. He'd been upwind of his brother…probably he hadn't noticed him…possibly, he'd just go away…

Suddenly, there was a flash of white. Inuyasha didn't even have time to process what was happening before he felt a sharp pain at the base of his neck. Fangs! What the fuck?! He was being bitten! Sesshomaru? Shocked, Inuyasha kept perfectly still, praying that his brother didn't move up and over an inch to rip his throat out. Sesshomaru had his arms trapped tightly against his sides, so he couldn't really do anything anyway.

What the fuck was going on?! The daiyoukai liked raw meat…had he gone nuts and decided to eat him?

After a few seconds, Sesshomaru pulled away, his eyes a bright red, and licked Inuyasha's blood off his lips. His expression was a strange mix of rage and smugness, only serving to confuse the poor hanyou further. Inuyasha struggled uselessly in his grip, wanting to escape into the well.

“You will forget about your filthy miko and her child, Inuyasha. You belong to me now.” Snarled the daiyoukai. What the fuck? Inuyasha stared dumbstruck at his brother. What was Sesshomaru doing?! Oh, Gods! He'd just been marked as Sesshomaru's mate!

 

“What the fuck is wrong with you?!” He exclaimed, panicked. He'd just …How Dare he?! Why would the bastard do something like that?!

“You are now my mate, and will not speak to me in that manner.” Said Sesshomaru.

“Like I'm gonna let you order me around! What the fuck did you do that for, bastard!? I don't want to be your mate!” Cried Inuyasha, squirming to get out of his grip. That bastard! How dare he?! With Kagome out of the running, Inuyasha didn't want anyone for a mate, least of all the asshole whose fault everything was to begin with, and who'd recently walked off all snooty like, saying he was sick of him!

“I don't care. I will not have you soiling yourself with that pathetic little human girl again! She will raise the child on her own, and you will see neither of them.” Sesshomaru declared. His eyes were beginning to fade back to gold, and he was looking a little less angry.

“That bitch isn't getting my pup!” Yelled Inuyasha. What the fuck was wrong with him?! He wanted to give their pup to Kagome, of all people?! Inuyasha decided that Sesshomaru had gone insane. Great. Now he was suddenly mated to an insane, cold, arrogant, heartless bastard daiyoukai! Or, hopefully, he'd fallen asleep in the tree earlier, and this was all just some fucked up nightmare. Now Sesshomaru no longer looked amused or angry, he just stared at him, head tilted ever so slightly to one side, almost as if he were…confused. Yes, definitely insane, Inuyasha decided.

 

`That bitch isn't getting my pup' The words echoed in Sesshomaru's mind. Bitch? My pup? It sounded almost as if…as if Inuyasha had not reconciled with the miko…and almost as if he was referring to a pup of his own body… but, something like that was surely impossible for a hanyou like Inuyasha, wasn't it? That was why he'd never worried about it when they'd been together previously. It was ridiculous.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?!” Inuyasha continued, “You said you didn't want me anymore, and now you show up here all deranged-like and mark me as your mate! And you want to give our pup to Kagome?!”

“Silence.” Ordered Sesshomaru, angrily.

our pup…it sounded very much like Inuyasha meant his pup…Sesshomaru focused himself on Inuyasha's scent, just to be sure. Oh, gods…Inuyasha really was pregnant! It hadn't been the smell of a pregnant miko on him- Inuyasha was the one pregnant! With his pup! And now he realised it, that should have been quite obvious to him all along.

Suddenly, Sesshomaru felt very, very stupid.

 

He'd been so sure Inuyasha had gone back to the miko, that he'd assumed it was the miko's baby being discussed, and been so over-taken with jealousy that he'd marked Inuyasha as his mate without even thinking about it, and made a complete idiot of himself in the process.

“Our pup…” The words softly escaped his lips. His pup. In the space of a few minutes, he'd somehow acquired both a mate and pup. This was certainly very…unexpected. Sesshomaru had never particularly wanted either of those things…he'd always thought of a mate as an unnecessary burden and responsibility, and had never really given any thought to having a pup of his own. It wasn't as though he needed heirs, and he'd somewhat disliked children, until recently.

 

Having Inuyasha for a mate was a good thing; he could make use of his body whenever he wanted, Inuyasha could take care of himself and wasn't some whining, needy bitch that would have annoyed him…though he'd have to make some improvements on his behaviour… a pup, however…

Sesshomaru was at first not at all sure he liked the thought of that. It would definitely be a burden, a huge responsibility. He didn't need such a thing, especially while he was busy trying to track down and kill a nasty enemy like Naraku.

“Oy! Sesshomaru!” Inuyasha sounded extremely annoyed, and maybe frightened. He continued to struggle in Sesshomaru's grip.

“Stop squirming and shut up.” He told him.

Inuyasha did not shut up or stop struggling, but Sesshomaru was too busy trying to come to terms with the situation to listen to his endless string of questions, demands, and expletives.

 

He was going to have a pup…it was definitely an uninvited burden, but, at the same time, thinking about it caused a pleasant, warm feeling. And, there would be good things about it…it would certainly have vast power and beauty when it got bigger…and as far as being a burden, it didn't really make a difference, considering he already had two weak creatures that constantly needed protection under his care. And his own pup would adore him even more than Rin and Jaken did. He liked having Rin around him…even if she could be a bit of a nuisance at times, she was a lot like having a child of his own… so most likely, having a real pup would prove to be even more pleasant. Just as it did with Rin, the good things would outweigh the bad. Maybe this was something to be glad of, after all…

He'd just have to make sure his idiot little brother didn't jeopardise it's safety with his ridiculous antics before it had a chance to be born… which would require constant supervision and protection of the hanyou for the next few months.

 

The hanyou was by then yelling in his face, apparently angry that he'd been marked so suddenly and without even having been asked.

Ungrateful whelp! He should be honoured Sesshomaru would have him as a mate, and grateful that his pup's father would be around to protect him throughout the pregnancy!

At least Inuyasha was too stupid and angry to have realised that he'd thought Kagome had been the one who was pregnant. That would have been…unpleasant.

Feeling a little proud that he'd managed to sire himself a pup, Sesshomaru slid a hand down to feel Inuyasha's stomach. A tiny life was growing in there…it fascinated him.

Inuyasha wrenched himself out of Sesshomaru's hands.

“What the fuck is wrong with you!?” He yelled, for about the twentieth time already.

“Nothing is wrong with me, Inuyasha.” He replied, calmly.

“What, nothing?! You just turned up, all psychotic, and mark me, and then tell me you want to give our pup to Kagome, ignore me and stare off into space for five minutes, and now you're trying to touch my stomach like you care about it or something!” Cried Inuyasha, pacing around angrily in front of him.

“That miko will never be allowed anywhere near my pup! You must have misheard me earlier.” Said Sesshomaru. “You are my mate now, you should be happy about this.”

“Happy?! I should be happy? Who'd ever be happy to be your mate, asshole?! You said you were tired of me, and now this? Why the fuck would you do this?!” Inuyasha demanded.

“I assure you, there are many youkai who would be elated if I were to mate with them. And you are carrying my pup, of course I would take you as my mate.” He replied.

“Oh, really?” Inuyasha sounded sarcastic. He paused. “So…you're not angry about it then?”

“About what?” Asked Sesshomaru.

“The pup! Baka! Gods!” Exclaimed Inuyasha.

“No.” That seemed to calm the hanyou a little. He ceased his frantic pacing and stood glaring at him for a while.

 

Inuyasha was relieved that Sesshomaru wasn't going to try to kill their pup, but he had some nerve coming and marking him as his mate like that! He didn't want to be Sesshomaru's mate! He was a bastard, and would no doubt make his life miserable…and now, he'd be stuck with him forever! And their baby…what kind of father would Sesshomaru make? Inuyasha couldn't imagine his brother being a loving parent. Though, he did have that little human girl who followed him around and seemed to idolize him…so it was vaguely possible he wasn't completely terrible with children. Still, this was a major disaster. To be stuck with Sesshomaru as his mate for the rest of his life…no doubt, the asshole would try to boss him around and beat the crap out of him all the time. How was he going to live with this? Inuyasha wished Sesshomaru would disappear from the world.

“Bastard! How dare you just mark me, without even asking and everything! I don't want to be your mate! The last thing me and my pup are going to need is some asshole like you hanging around!” He shouted.

“Well, you are my mate now, and both you and our pup will need me very much! Though I do not know how much we will need you, if you continue to speak in such a manner!” Hissed Sesshomaru, glaring at him.

“Is that a threat?! You think I'd let you take my pup away from me?!” Demanded Inuyasha, outraged. He'd been worried about this from the beginning…

“If you prove to be unsuited to be a parent for my child, yes, Inuyasha. I will take it far away from you, and not allow you near. I will not have my child raised by somebody who constantly displays such disgusting behaviour.” Replied Sesshomaru.

So that was how it was! If he didn't do what Sesshomaru said, or did something he didn't like, he'd try to take his pup away!

“You asshole! You'd take your pup away from it's m-…father just because I won't do what you say?!” He exclaimed.

“It would be unfortunate if I had to do that, but I will, if it is necessary for the well being of my child.” Said Sesshomaru.

For the well being of their child? Sesshomaru thought he wasn't good enough to be a parent for their pup? Inuyasha wasn't surprised, but it hurt him terribly. Just what was Sesshomaru's idea of a good enough parent? Probably, somebody who was not a hanyou, and who would be polite and obedient, and worship at his feet.

Sesshomaru was the one that wouldn't be a good enough parent! He was cold, and arrogant, and cruel, and heartless, and much too self-centred to be a parent for their pup!

“Like I'd let you do that!” He yelled. “You're the one who'd be a shitty parent! I should take it away from you!”

“I'd love to see you try it.” Said Sesshomaru. The smug look on his face made Inuyasha want to strangle him.

“Yeah, well…I fucking will if I have to!” Inuyasha did his very best to sound threatening, but Sesshomaru didn't look concerned.

“You are my mate. You will be respectful, and try to improve yourself so as to be an acceptable mate and parent, Inuyasha. That is all there is to it.” Said the daiyoukai, in that authoritative voice that had always pissed Inuyasha off so very badly.

“No, you are my mate, and you will try to stop being such a heartless asshole, or I'm not letting you anywhere near our pup! And you'll definitely fail, anyway! Like you could ever care for anything!” He told him.

 

“Speaking in such a manner only increases my opinion that you will be an incompetent parent.” Said Sesshomaru. The hanyou's behaviour was so infuriating, he felt like beating him senseless…but, that probably wouldn't be beneficial to the newly conceived pup…unable to lash out physically, Sesshomaru opted for the second most desirable way to inflict pain.

“You should be grateful I'm even considering allowing you to help raise our child! What kind of parent could a foul mouthed, violent, irrational, unintelligent, uncultured, rash, incompetent hanyou be, anyway? I can only hope you will not pass on any of your numerous short comings to our poor pup!” He hissed. Sesshomaru watched Inuyasha narrow his eyes, then turn away from him and run off into the forest.

He supposed it would be best to let Inuyasha have some time to himself. Surely, after he'd had some time to think about it, Inuyasha would realise the necessity of behaving in a more appropriate manner. Of course, he couldn't leave his pregnant mate unguarded, so he followed after his mate, at just enough distance to make sure he didn't notice him.

 

 

 

“Shouldn't you be a little more concerned about this, Naraku-sama? Sesshomaru will be watching Inuyasha like a hawk during the pregnancy, and then, the two of them joining their strength! Wouldn't that be a disaster for you?” Asked Byakuya.

“Hmph.” From the creepy, amused look on Naraku's face, Byakuya knew that further questioning would be futile. It seemed Naraku had already formed a plan…and no doubt, it would not bode well for the newly mated brothers. Naraku's plans always failed, but Byakuya particularly hoped that this next one would. He thought the recent drama between the two handsome inu's was terribly cute…and more importantly, if they could make it through the pregnancy and Inuyasha's full strength was combined with his brother's, he expected Naraku would quickly wind up dead, and he'd finally be free.
