It's in the Final Fantasy VII section under the pen-name: TwoDevils_OneGod, if anyone is interested in checking it out.

Summary: Kumiko is still hoping that Sesshoumaru will dump Inuyasha in favor of her. Toga has his hands full in keeping peace in his house.

 

oOoOoOo

Chapter 35: Hoping

 

Another room is going to have to be added on to the palace, Toga vehemently thought as he shoved his head further underneath his pillow, trying desperately to block out the noise that his sons were making so early in the damn morning.

 

He didn't need to be reminded (almost daily) of how active Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's sex life was, when his was so lacking.

 

Oh, thank the gods he was over the sexual hormonal stage of his life. If he wasn't, Toga was quite confident he would never be able to get any work finished. His sons would be like this for at least two thousand years.

 

He growled.

 

Sesshoumaru's and Inuyasha's lovemaking was going to wake everyone. Now, Toga regretted not warding their room like he had done to Vergil and Dante's.

 

Unexpectedly he sat up in bed and smirked evilly.

 

Sounga snorted while Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga hummed in accordance with the dragon blade, but Toga didn't care thus not giving them a second thought.

 

If Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha couldn't remember what time of the month it was, why should he worry?

 

Besides, he wanted another grand-heir. Mizuki needed a sibling or two.

 

Two centuries had gone by without the sound of pups underfoot. The inu-Lord laid back down wondering if it was hoping beyond hope for Inuyasha to conceive another litter.

 

oOoOoOo

 

By the end of the second week of being able to get out of bed without any type of help, Kumiko lounged in the beautifully crafted bathing pool. Her thoughts were miles away—thinking constantly of the young and handsome future Western Lord.

 

She just couldn't understand why her father made her apologize to that mate stealing hanyou? Why didn't her father demand Lord Toga to break the bond and have Sesshoumaru mate with her? She was better for the inuyoukai—she could produce legal blood heirs.

 

She didn't accept the cock and bull story of that worthless half-breed giving birth. Sesshoumaru must have lain with one of the inu-courtesans. There was no other way to explain how he begotten an heir.

 

/That must be it!/ Kumiko mused to herself. /The bitch was in heat and conceived/. The Northern Lands heiress continued on with her logical thought.

 

/And after the pup was born, Lord Toga had her give it up / She stopped mid-thought to scrub first the bottom of her right foot, then doing the other.

 

“Aaah,” she purred. Her feet were once again smooth and soft.

 

/Why would Lord Sesshoumaru allow that hanyou near his pup? Regardless if he was his brother, he shouldn't be caring for anyone's pups. No telling what that dirty scum could do to it/

 

She dunked herself in the deep end of the bath to thoroughly wet her hair. Kumiko cursed her father repeatedly for dismissing Rin. The ningen was good for something!

 

Now, the only thing the little scamp did was chase after her soon-to-mate and tortured his servant, Jakken, endlessly.

 

For the rest of Kumiko's bath she privately conversed with herself on why Lord Sesshoumaru should have her as a more note worthy mate.

 

oOoOoOo

 

A month and a half later

 

No one knows for sure how on earth Toga could manage keeping Sesshoumaru from killing Kumiko or Kumiko from killing Inuyasha and vice-versa, but his skills a mediator were astonishing to say the least.

 

The weird `love' triangle was just that—weird, but the humans and devils found the situation quite hilarious. Especially when the female inu didn't have a clue of how dangerous a game she was playing.

 

But one particular morning, Kumiko got a taste of how nasty Inuyasha could be when provoked.

 

oOo Flashback oOo

 

By now everyone was use to Inuyasha's nursing pattern at the dining table, and quite frankly when Ken'ichi and Yuudai saw him performing such an intimate duty, they fell over at Toga's youngest nursing his grand-heir.

 

Toga's brother, Saburo, got a nose bleed at the sight of the ample span of silky creamy flesh, which in turn earned him a growl of warning from his nephew.

 

And breakfast was no different with the exception of Yuudai's joining them for the first time since her recovery from being poisoned by Lord Sesshoumaru.

 

Kumiko entered with a bright cheery smile.

 

“How are you feeling today, Lady Kumiko?” Kagome asked.

 

Not wanting to be rude in front of her host, Kumiko replied, “Better, thank you.”

 

Quickly, turning her attention to Lord Toga as he gently inquired about her health, she had noticed that Lord Sesshoumaru was absent.

 

“Will Lord Sesshoumaru be joining us, my lord?”

 

“Kumiko!” Yuudai declared, scandalized.

 

“It's alright, my lord, I do not take offense. Yes, he and Inuyasha sh-”

 

The couple in question entered. Kumiko fumed at the sight of her intended leading that good for nothing mongrel in.

 

As usual, Sesshoumaru sat to his father's right with his mate next to him. Sesshoumaru sat down first as dictated by tradition followed by Inuyasha, but the lord stopped his mate as Inuyasha was struggling with the sling—Mizuki was getting restless.

 

She wanted every one to know how unhappy she was at not eating on time.

 

“Waah!”

 

“Give her to me, Inuyasha, and eat,” Sesshoumaru ordered, but his brother ignored the command.

 

As always, Inuyasha prepared a plate of food for his mate before the one for himself. Once he served Sesshoumaru and sat down, Inuyasha settled Mizuki back in his arms where she began squirming—smelling the milk immediately.

 

“If you can't quiet the pup then might I suggest leaving her with her mother?” Kumiko cut in, clearly agitated by the noise the pup was making.

 

Not the right thing to say.

 

“Mind your own damn business,” Inuyasha said

 

“How dare you?”

 

“If you don't want me to rip out your tongue, I suggest you shut your yap,” Inuyasha threatened.

 

As she picked up her chopsticks, the heiress muttered something under her breath, but being a canine demon with heightened hearing although a half-breed he may be, Inuyasha still heard it.

 

“Get bent you bitch!” he spat, struggling to keep his pup still. Mizuki was picking up on her mother's agitated state and the pup was upset by an empty stomach.

 

No one was surprised as Kumiko gasped from being insulted. They were just surprised that it didn't happen sooner.

 

“Father! Are you going to just sit there and let him speak to me like that?”

 

However, Lord Yuudai remained quiet, not once looking up from his bowl.

 

“Inuyasha, calm yourself.”

 

“Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru,” she said shyly with a small smile on her lips, but it faded when she looked at him.

 

Semi-crimson orbs narrowed at the female across from him. “Say another word, Lady Kumiko and I will follow through with my mate's threat.”

 

After Inuyasha had regained his senses, he proceeded to open his haori, then his shirt. Mizuki latched on to the leaking nipple while at the same time Kumiko shrieked.

 

“Calm down,” her father hissed.

 

The other inu laughed. The trio continued eating and the twins were busy with Xander—trying to put the entire ordeal behind them.

 

oOo End flashback oOo

 

The heiress of the Northern Lands watched Inuyasha and Dante from her balcony. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but just by looking at the two of them knew the inuhanyou was sick. She wondered from what? Even being a half-breed, Inuyasha getting ill was slim to none. She didn't care nor did she have the time to ponder on such insignificant things.

 

She had other things on her mind.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Toga (ever the diplomat) soothed his uncle and Lord Yuudai's tail feathers by letting them stay for as long as they could, but it didn't alleviate the growing tension between his sons and Kumiko.

 

Tempers were strained and it was not good for Inuyasha to be upset. On more than one occasion, Mizuki became violently ill, all because Inuyasha's milk had been spoiled from him being either mad (at Kumiko) or worried, over the bonding ceremony that was taking place the day after tomorrow, but that was the least of his concerns.

 

Unnoticed by Inuyasha, golden spheres filled with water. Tears spilt down his cheeks unchecked as he lifted himself from behind a decorative arrangement of flowers. His stomach heaved again for the second time since he's been outside with his and Dante's pups.

 

Fortunately, Dante had been busy with them to note his afternoon's bout of sickness, but Inuyasha knew it for what it was.

 

“Ka's!” Mizuki called out wondering where her mother had wandered off to as she sat next to the older white haired hanyou.

 

The curious amber eyed toddler smiled in awe at the tiny being in Dante's arms. She wiggled closer to Xander to sniff him.

 

Right now, Mizuki didn't understand why she liked smelling the youngling, but in years to come she would realize what Xander meant to her.

 

Inuyasha staggered back to the resting group, acting as if nothing was wrong with him.

 

“You should go lie down, Inuyasha, you look like shit,” Dante said, smirking devilishly.

 

“Bite me, you bastard!”

 

“No, I'll leave that up to Sesshoumaru, thank you very much, and my parents were married when they had me.”

 

That comment earned Dante a growl, but the half-devil merely laughed not giving Inuyasha's brush-off much credit—for he was the same way.

 

The remainder of their outing was spent enjoying nature and each other's company.

 

oOoOoOo

 

The day before Inuyasha's and Sesshoumaru's bonding ceremony, Toga visited his imprisoned house guest with a healer in tow. He kept Trish locked away from Vergil for fear of him losing grips on his alter-ego, Nelo Angelo.

 

The younger twin came to him almost three and a half weeks ago scared. Dante had seen the Dark Knight in the mirror as he and Vergil were preparing for bed one night. Vergil didn't see the reflection as his back was toward the glass, but Nelo Angelo stared directly into Dante's wide astonished eyes.

 

That explanation alone was good enough a reason to be in the dungeon with the inu-healer, Chikako.

 

Trish was surprised as the door to her cell swung open, but she stayed lying on the small uncomfortable cot as Toga and the other female entered her cramped living space.

 

“It has been brought to my attention that you have been refusing to ear your meals recently. Care to explain why?”

 

Disregarding the dog demon, Trish was in favor of easing the churning in her stomach.

 

Not expecting her to answer, Toga said, “I've brought a healer here to exam you. She is well versed with the human body and will find out what is wrong with you.”

 

He stepped back out to let his lead healer do her work. He had a ton of work on his desk that couldn't be put off any longer, and used this time accordingly.

 

Toward the end of the day the healer reported her findings to her lord. The news was unsettling at best.

 

May the gods be forgiving and merciful if Vergil ever discovers that the bitch carries his pup.

 

oOoOoOo

 

The old decrepit building was nothing but a dump. This was not what she imagined it to look like. Her foster parents told her where she could find her biological father.

 

By the looks of the place this was all he could afford.

 

Now, skeptically eyeing the three-story structure, it made her wonder what line of work her father had done—was still doing.

 

The red glowing script of neon above her head buzzed faintly as she carefully read the words: Devil May Cry.

 

What kind of name was that?

 

Well, there was only way to find out.

 

Quicksilver orbs stared at the plain double doors as shaky hands swept threw waist length white hair. Hesitantly, the young woman knocked. This was the moment she had been waiting for, for the past few years since her parents had told her that she wasn't their daughter by blood.

 

Her heart beat frantically in her chest, waiting with bated breath for the man she heard so much about—the man she was about to met for the very first time.

 

Her father… Dante.

 

oOo TBC oOo

 

A/N: Did Sesshoumaru put Kumiko in her place or what? I was beginning to think the Inuyasha was going to slap her for saying what she said. I don't think anyone would have cared if he did, what do you think?

 

OMG! Trish is pregnant! And Nelo Angelo is waiting for the right opportunity to make his presence known. Well, it seems that Dante's daughter has come home. Will Dante and Vergil get back to modern times to greet her? Don't know. Stay tuned for the next chapter to find out.

oOoOo Teaser for Chapter 36 oOoOo

 

“Stop it, Verge!” Dante warned. He was trying to take a nap.

 

“Dante…” Vergil whispered seductively taking a nip out of his lover's exposed shoulder. They were lying together in bed—naked—under the plush furs. “You are neglecting me again brother.”

 

Turning over to face Vergil, he stated, “Okay, Verge, tell you what…”
