Chapter 23: A secret

 

The twins along with Trish and Kagome have been residing in Feudal Japan for over a month with the Great Dog Demon and his two sons who was mated to each other. One of which was currently cursing his brother one evening when his water broke and his contractions became unbearable.

 

Inuyasha went into labor after four months of getting pregnant.

 

“Aarrgh! Make it stop!! Please, make it stop” Inuyasha cried out. He had all ready been in labor for over eighteen hours with no pup. He was going to kill Sesshoumaru if he ever mentions about wanting another heir.

 

Vergil was at the end of the birthing bed between Inuyasha's propped up legs judging how far the boy was dilated to expel the child. The healers were at best only good for keeping Inuyasha drugged but his contractions became closer together rather quickly. They (the healers) had to stop administering the herbs and teas or else Inuyasha would be too numb to push when it was time.

 

“In a few minutes, it will all be over,” Vergil gently replied. He cringed inwardly as he spoke the soothing words wishing Dante was here with him. His brother was better with mollifying one's soul. Dante was more in touch with his human-half, a side in which Vergil never get back.

 

But it didn't make any difference to Inuyasha as the words gave him no comfort or relief from the pain.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Because men were not allowed inside the birthing chamber and Inuyasha didn't count, Sesshoumaru, Toga, and Dante were told to wait else where until summoned. Vergil was the only the exception. The future lord's mate would only permit the older devil twin near him. Several healers were brutally slashed up thus Vergil being able to get close enough to help deliver Lord Sesshoumaru's heir.

 

Trish and Kagome were called in when Inuyasha was ready to bring his pup into the world.

 

oOoOoOo

 

On the other side of the palace, Toga locked himself in his study to finish forgotten correspondence until it was time to welcome his grand-heir leaving Sesshoumaru and Dante to their own devices. He just hoped that they don't destroy anything. Toga was not in the mood to reprimand those two.

 

Sitting in the family dining hall was the younger devil twin with the cold and stoic Sesshoumaru. Dante heaved a gentle sigh knowing that the other demon was not much of a conversationalist just like his brother.

 

The devil hunter shrugged his shoulders and reached for a cup of sake but was stopped when Sesshoumaru's low silky voice filled the room.

 

“You shouldn't drink that.”

 

“Huh?” Dante blinked stupidly at the inuyoukai.

 

“The sake, it's not good for you,” Sesshoumaru mildly warned.

 

“One drink is not going to kill me,” Dante shoot back still preparing to down the strong alcohol.

 

“No, but it might kill your pup.”

 

The fine ceramic cup clank and shattered to the floor. The clear water-like substance soaked into the cracks disappearing beneath the slates of wood.

 

“H-how did you know?” Dante unconsciously pressed a hand to his slightly curved stomach.

 

“My mate has been with child for four months and there are others who bear a similar scent. I'm surprised Vergil has not detected it yet. He was after all the first to notice when Inuyasha conceived the first time.”

 

They remained quiet until a piercing curse disturbed the peacefulness.

 

“Damn you, Sesshoumaru!...I'm gonna get you for this, you fucking bastard!” More screams and curses followed.

 

Dante laughed as the youkai in question shook his head - Inuyasha could be so dramatic sometimes. However, the seriousness returned back to Sesshoumaru's gaze locking with Dante's.

 

“Do not wait too long to tell him. He does have a right to know.”

 

A few minutes ticked by before Dante spoke again.

 

“I can't help but wonder what she's like,” Dante said as he suddenly changed the topic.

 

Now it was Sesshoumaru's turn to cock his head to the side in wonder, but he restrained from asking what was the younger devil was talking about. Dante was very much like Inuyasha and would tell him without being force to do so.

 

And Sesshoumaru didn't have to wait too long.

 

“Vergil and I mated a year before he went crazy on me and sought out our father's power. Two days after our mating the fucker left. I didn't see him until the following year on our eighteenth birthday. I just had my Awakening - fully coming into my demonic power. Actually, Vergil crucified me to Temen-ni-gru right after we made love. Our bond was renewed with some rather interesting results, but Vergil wanted more power and cast me aside, which cause us to fight, and I lost.” Dante paused waiting for the first part to sink in.

 

“I seriously thought that he would come to his senses and give up on his quest, but in the long run I was wrong. We were at the threshold of the underworld… our final battle ended with him falling to his dark future and I was left with his seed growing in me.

 

“And it was almost twelve months after that when I gave birth to the most beautiful little girl I had ever layed eyes on. I fell in love all over again. I still had a piece of my mate with me through her. But reality came crashing on me like a ton of bricks. Being the son of the infamous Dark Knight and having the rep of the most feared Devil Hunter just was not safe for a newborn, so I did what any scared immature teenager would do - I left my baby with my neighbors and never went back.” Dante refused to met the golden eyes of the demon beside him.

 

Sesshoumaru studied the half-devil. He briefly saw guilt flash in the unusual gray colored eyes as well as shame. The future lord was about to say something but a timid knock on the door follow by a servant requesting his presence in the healing wing keep Sesshoumaru from fully understanding Dante's plight.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Loud distressed mewls assaulted Sesshoumaru and Dante's keen hearing as they entered the healing room where Inuyasha was recovering. The Inu no Taisho was all ready there cradling his first grand-heir as it whined for its mother's attention. A look of awe and wonder was settled upon the otherwise blank emotionless face. Sesshoumaru thoughts went to the days when he and Inuyasha were pups and wondered if their father graced them with the same humbled look of love.

 

Then Sesshoumaru's gazed at his pup - it seemed so tiny in his father's overly large hands. Realizing what a precious gift his mate bestowed him, the inuyoukai for the first time in his life had tears in his eyes.

 

Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, noticed was oblivious to all that was going on around him while Dante remained rooted at the door.

 

The older Sparda twin noticed this too and slid his arms around his mate, or at least Vergil tried to embrace Dante but he shrugged him off. Vergil didn't bat an eye lash he was use to his lover's ever changing mood swings. So, not giving Dante or his surly mood another thought, Vergil firmly latched on to the younger twin's elbow and hauled Dante out of the room.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Dante nearly tripped on the way inside of their bedchamber as Vergil shoved him.

 

“What's your fuckin' problem?”

 

Cold calculating quicksilver orbs took in his mate's appearance. /Nothing seems out of the ordinary/ Vergil assessed.

 

“Funny, you should say that, brother; I was just about to ask you the very same thing.”

 

Vergil attempted to hug his mate again but was thrown off. “Okay, D, I've had about enough of your childish behavior. You've become reclusive ever since we've returned. I can't help you if you don't tell me what is the problem. Tell me, brother, why have you been avoiding my touch?” Vergil's voice took a seductive dip.

 

“I long to feel you beside me after we make love but instead you turn from me.”

 

Suddenly, out of no where Dante went to his twin, crying on Vergil's shoulder. Not sure of what to do, Vergil simply held on to his brother. This was so out of character for the younger son of Sparda to be reduced to a crying mass with over played hormones like a female.

 

The twins stood in their bedroom as the fading light from the sun sunk behind the snow topped mountains. The air was beginning to cool as it blew in through the double sliding doors leading out to an enclosed patio.

 

“This is not about Trish is it?”

 

He held his anger in check - that bitch was grating on his nerves. A negative head shake was his answer. Vergil was racking his brain to come-up with a logical reason for his brother's recent bout of melancholy. He couldn't think of anything other than, “Is it about Inuyasha having the baby?”

 

First he received a slight no then an unsure yes. The older twin smile sadly. Vergil knew that Dante wanted kids but it just was not possible, Mundus made sure of that. With all the enhancement spells and the body torture that he went through had left him sterile - nothing short of a miracle was going to make his brother's dream of having a family again come true.

 

Finally, looking up from where he soaked Vergil's trench coat, Dante turned from his brother. His emotions were out-of-control and he didn't know when they would get back on track.

 

“I…uh…we need to talk, Verge.”

 

Dante turned back to face his mate. It nearly broke his heart to see such a miserable look on an otherwise stoic visage. Vergil couldn't stand it. He was about to say something but Dante beat him first.

 

“We…you…shit…we have a daughter, Vergil,” Dante admitted with some difficulty, hoping that his brother wouldn't hate him for keeping this from him.

 

However, Vergil gave him a totally opposite reaction.

 

“What did you say?” Vergil's voice now was threatening, and he slowly advanced on his young lover.

 

“We have a daughter,” Dante repeated stepping away from his volatile twin.

 

The older of the two gripped Yamato's hilt with his right hand - withdrawing it with painstaking ease then turning the blade on his deceitful doppelganger - targeting it at Dante's abdomen.

 

“Give me one damn good reason why I shouldn't run you through, brother?”

 

Not wanting to chance Vergil's ire any worse than what it was, Dante blurted out, “I'm pregnant.”

 

Not knowing what hit him, Dante was unprepared for the blow as he was suddenly thrown across the room, crashing into the table - breaking it upon impact.

 

But his life didn't matter as Vergil told him how he felt about being a father. “Those…hell spawns are not mine, you lying…” However, Vergil caught himself before he said anything that he would definitely regret later. So, instead he sneered down at his brother's trembling form and left.

 

oOo TBC oOo

 

A/N: OMG! What the heck just happen? Can any body please tell me? Because Vergil just went all psycho on Dante without giving his brother a reason why. You would think that Vergil would be pleased to hear about having children. What is Dante going to do now?

 

Oh, and let's not forget about our new parents, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. How will they cope having a newborn pup on their hands? Babies are in abundance in the Toga's household - watch out everyone but things just got a little more complicated. Stay tuned for the next chapter.

oOoOo Teaser for Chapter 24 oOoOo

 

Sesshoumaru finally understood what his father had been trying to impart to him about loving his mate and family. He always thought that a mate and pups was a tool to be used against him as he believed what happened with his mother. He still had his father, though, who did mourn the lost of his first mate, and then took another.

 

Having someone to protect and love was not a weakness but a strength.
