How are you going to stay in business if you keep turning potential customers away?” “Fuck you, Verge.” (Gasp) “Daddy, you said a bad word.” “Sorry, pumpkin. What I meant to say, is that your father is being a jerk.” Giggling erupted. “Dante,” Vergil said in a low menacing voice, but his smile downplayed the threat. “Alright….. Shit, can’t even take a joke. Anyway, did you talk with your son about his late night prowling?” Dante asked, spying a flash of white heading upstairs. “Hold it young man. I think you owe your father and me an explanation of why you can’t get your studies done. And who is the girl you’ve been seeing?” More giggling erupted. A set of quicksilver eyes narrowed and the quiet laughing ceased. “I think it’s time for you three to head up to your room. Your mother….. (Hey! What have I told you about calling me that?)  and I wish to talk to your brother.” Moaning of discontent now replaced the joyous snickering. “Do we have to?” “I will not repeat myself,” Vergil warned. A stampede of footfalls echoed through the living room slash office of Devil May Cry. Now, with his daughters upstairs, probably listening from the landing, Vergil turned back to his son, and his mate. “So Xander, what’s going on? I was not aware of you dating anyone.” Said teen gulped. He didn’t know how to tell his father that he was seeing a girl. Oh, he smiled just thinking about her and unconsciously said, “She’s beautiful.” Vergil and Dante remained quiet, wanting their son to inform them of this female. “I’ve never met anyone like her. She’s tall with the most beautiful colored eyes. I mean they shine brighter than the sun, and her hair…illuminates like the moon.” The devil twins shared a knowing look and inwardly smiled. “But…” “But?” Dante asked. “She’s a teacher,” the youth admitted. Now, they saw the problem. “You know, Xander, that even though society accepts us, we still have to abide by normal human regulations and restrictions, and dating a teacher is one of them,” Dante said as gently as he could. It broke his heart seeing the crestfallen look on his son’s porcelain face. Steel grey eyes misted over. “Yeah, I know, but Dad, there’s something about her that I can’t just get out of my mind. It’s like I’m…I’m….” Xander struggled to find the right words. “It’s like you’re being pulled toward her like magic, and no-one else will satisfy that need deep within your being,” Dante supplied, while looking at his mate with love in his eyes. Vergil smirked remembering when he and Dante first discovered their attraction for each other. Then he frowned. His son was in the beginning stages of his mating cycle and Xander wanted her. Oh, boy. “Uh, son, I think we need to talk to this girl’s parents,” Vergil said hoping to extinguish the fire before it had a chance to start. “You gotta to be shittin’ me!” “Watch your mouth young man. I will not tolerate that kind of language at all,” Vergil warned, looking at Dante. He blamed his foul mouthed lover for his kid’s language, but he was no better, at least he tried to curb his tongue in front of them. It just that his younger brother brought out the worse in him sometimes and the only way to get through Dante’s thick skull was to resort to his type of lingo, and that usually meant talking just as foul and just as dirty (especially if they were making love). The older twin shook his head to clear it of the sexual picture he just got. He was not going there. Vergil no longer carried Yamato in the house, which turned out to be a good thing, but the former general could magically summon Beowulf at any time as well as his Summoned Swords. The young Sparda son didn’t want that to happen, especially after seeing his parents go head to head. The mess they created took over a month to clean up, and the repair of Devil May Cry was twice as long. They had to move to Vergil’s apartment for two years. “Just let us talk with her parents and see what they have to say about it. Some people are not open to devils and demons mating with humans,” Dante interjected as the voice of reason. Vergil snorted but Dante glared back, daring his mate to say something. “She’s not human, Dad.” “No?” “No.” “How do you know?” Vergil asked. Xander went back to smiling stupidly. “She’s got the cutest puppy ears on top of her.” Inuyasha would take insult to the word ‘cutest’ in reference to his ears. “And she has a blue crescent moon in the middle of her forehead.” “Well, son, be that as it may, she is a teacher and the rules say no teacher/student relationships.” Xander just huffed but said nothing else. There was no way he was going to win this round not with his ‘mother’ in such a mood. Once Xander was dismissed, Vergil and Dante retired to their room on the third floor of Devil May Cry. “You know, Sesshoumaru is not going to be happy as soon as he finds out that our son is sniffing out his daughter,” Dante voiced, easing down to the queen size futon. He had it custom built after they had returned from feudal Japan. Their room actually was a replica of the one they had when Toga allowed them to stay at the palace. The younger twin sighed. It had been hard on them, especially Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, when Toga had died. The great dog demon had fought a dragon demon, Ryuukotsusei. Toga had managed to seal the dragon against a face cliff with a claw, but sadly he had received a deep wound that he was never able to heal from. “You worry too much, brother. Besides, it’s Inuyasha that Xander should be worried about, not Sesshoumaru,” Vergil replied sliding in the bed behind his lover. He gently stroked the small bump of Dante’s stomach. After ten years of not having any babies underfoot, Dante announced that he was pregnant again. Currently at the age of forty-eight (even though the twins didn’t look a day over twenty-one) they were going to be parents all over again, and this time to twins. Xander and his older sister Alex discovered a secret their parents were hiding from them. Dante and Vergil were immortal. The devil twins would stay youthful while the human world withered and died. They weren’t too sure about themselves, seeing that they didn’t have to deal with the supernatural (yet) as their parents did. Plus, with the exception of Alastor, neither of them was able to handle the power of Force Edge, Rebellion, and Yamato.  All three demon blades rejected them—the blood of Sparda had not been awakened within them. And the sword of judgment was downright nasty. Alastor would only allow Dante’s touch and no one else’s. Not even Vergil went near the blade. Alastor turned on the older Sparda when he had left Dante alone and heavily pregnant with Xander and it didn’t matter how many times Vergil had apologized for walking out on his brother and mate in a delicate condition. Dante on the other hand could do nothing but laugh. Alastor was highly a temperament sword and hell would probably freeze over before it forgave his brother. oOoOoOo Xander turned seventeen a month ago and was now itching for something different. Dante and Vergil rarely saw their son since he went to school in Japan—a mainstream school with humans and was the top of his class. His application had already been accepted to a top notch university and he would be leaving for college after graduation next June. The sons of the legendary dark knight went in search of their first born daughter, whom just by coincidence Dante had named Alexandria. They had found her living in Vergil’s penthouse apartment and working for a sleazy lawyer in New York. The twins were not happy at all about that. The jerk their daughter was working for did live (but only because she told them that he didn’t assault her in any way, shape, or form). Her foster parents had told her about Dante and how he had brought her to them scared and lost. They knew that the teen was more than capable of taking care of the newborn but the couple knew of his involvement as a devil hunter, that reason alone was enough to take the child from him. They never adopted the beautiful girl knowing that one day Dante would be back for her, and almost thirty years later he and his brother turned up on the aging couple’s doorstep. And two years after Dante gave birth to their son he blessed his brother with another girl, Elektra. But Dante didn’t stop there, he wanted to fill his house with as many kids as he could and bore another girl, Evelyn, four years later. All was right in Dante and Vergil’s little world. Dante was just a little over two months pregnant, and couldn’t be any happier with his brother and four children. Vergil still was troubled with nightmares from his days as Mundus’ general but as time went on they were becoming less and less. Dante never revealed what happened with Trish and for that he was just thankful. He would never forgive his late wife of her treachery—forcing Vergil to have sex with her and nearly killing him in the process. Crickets could be heard now that all the Sparda’s were in bed. Quicksilver orbs fluttered until the lids were too heavy to open again. oOoOoOo Another vase went flying out the window. Growling could be heard if any one took the time to listen. The main gates of the palace were now of wrought iron instead of thick heavy wood. The ten foot stone walls were still in place, but over time some of the blocks and portions of the wall had to be replaced. Another human ran from the beautifully ornate crafted old style Japanese home. For centuries, humans tried to buy or steal the land and the surrounding acres from the owners. However, none could persuade the owners to sell or take the rich soil from them. Currently another ‘buyer’ was just ran off by the teeth bearing, sword wielding demon lord, Sesshoumaru. Yes, demon lord. Society as a whole now mixed with the secretive demons of modern day Japan and across the world. The ruling youkais still held the four corners in the land of the rising sun with the Lords of the West at the head. Overshadowed by humans, lower class demons were permitted to live in the western territories. Acknowledgeable in politics, Sesshoumaru was the royal inu ambassador to the Japanese ruling emperor. Prior to that, the taiyoukai had to demonstrate on more than one occasion that he had a strong foothold on his lands and the protected forest of Inuyasha, which just so happened to be Kagome’s family shine. The last war against Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha nearly crippled Japan. The inu-brothers had single handedly wiped out the emperor’s armada in one night. Since then, Japan formally apologized to the lords and signed a treaty with them, reminding the country that they could and would, without hesitation, annihilate those who dared a coup’ de tat against the four reigning lords. Presently, Sesshoumaru was ‘getting rid’ of another so-called property buyer. “All you had to do, Sesshy, was to ask him to leave.” “Yes, but where’s the fun in that, my mate.” Time had passed too quickly for the inu-brothers. Inuyasha’s pack was down to just Kagome and Kouga. Miroku and Sango had died of old age, just like his mother. They had married and stayed with Inuyasha after Toga had died. It was a great comfort to him that his friends remained with him, even if it was for only a little while. And Sesshoumaru’s adoptive daughter, Rin, was a gift to him. He treated her as if she was one of his own, but sadly, humans didn’t have longevity like demons. Inuyasha knew how much it hurt his mate to lose someone precious. Although the taiyoukai didn’t show how broken he was, the servants did hear his anguish cries hours later after burying his beloved Rin. Sometimes, if Sesshoumaru closed his eyes, he could still hear the little girl that he saved over five hundred years ago running through the palace playing. oOoOoOo Sesshoumaru watched his eldest daughter hum to herself as she walked the garden of the palace. The look in her amber colored eyes told him one thing: she was in love. Who is person who has captured my pup’s heart?  he wondered. On silent feet he approached her. “Mizuki.” “Hai, otausan?” “Where is your mate?” Startled golden orbs looked up into a mirrored pair. “I don’t know that of which you speak, otausan.” But Sesshoumaru was not fooled by his daughter’s feigned innocence. “I have raised you from a pup to know when you are lying to me and you reek of…” At a second sniff he nearly snarled. “Humans are not fit for you to take as a mate!” Mizuki cautiously backed away from her father. She was unused to him being angry, and it frightened her. “Who is he? And I will not ask you again,” Sesshoumaru said, his eyes slowly bleeding crimson. She was ready to bolt when the enraged taiyoukai zipped past her, blocking her only means of escape. “Otausan, please,” Mizuki begged, tears swelling in her golden eyes, but Sesshoumaru was not going to be moved by them. “I-” “Excuse me, my Lord, but there ningens who wish to see you and your mate,” a servant announced, saving the heiress from her father’s wrath. “Show them to the throne room, and find my mate,” he said, turning back to his pup. “This is far from over.” And the inu-lord swept out of the room in anger. Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief—praise the gods for their tender mercy. oOoOoOo Sesshoumaru could not believe who was standing in front of his throne. “You demons never change.” Smirking, the silver haired youkai replied, “And neither do devils.” Vergil and a very pregnant Dante graced them with their presence. The last time he and Inuyasha had saw them was when they brought Xander to start school where his daughter was teaching. “Where are your other pups?” “Xander just took off, something about seeing Izoyai’s lake, and the other three are wandering the palace,” Dante answered, looking a bit tired. “And what brings you two to the land of the rising sun?” “You never write, or call, Sesshoumaru. We were wondering if you and Inuyasha were still alive and kicking,” Dante said, being the smart ass that he was. “Yes, where is your lovely mate?” Vergil asked. “We actually came here to talk to you and him about Mizuki… and Xander.” This gained the taiyoukai’s attention. “My mate should have been here, but one can never tell with him. Besides, he’s heavy with our next litter,” Sesshoumaru said. Inuyasha had been pregnant at least three addition times after he lost the twins when they found out about their father’s death. His body just couldn’t handle the stress, thus causing him to miscarry each time. But now, the brothers felt confident enough that this litter would make it. “Did I hear someone call my name?” Vergil and Dante turned to see a waddling Inuyasha. His steps were short and sure. He must be carrying a dozen pups. Dante could only stare with fear in his eyes, never wishing for himself to be put in that position. “Uh, how—how many?” the younger devil twin asked. Inuyasha patted his overly large tummy and smiled. “The healers tell us that there’s about four fighting for room.” “Wow, that’s a lot,” Dante could only say. “So, guys, what brings you two devils here? And I know its not-” “Xander is seeking a mate,” Vergil blurted out. “Oh, really, and who’s the lucky devil?” Inuyasha asked, finally sitting down next to his brother. “From what we have been told by him, she’s quite a beauty,” Dante said coyly, staring at Sesshoumaru. The lord in question was putting two and two together, and he did not like the total. “As a matter of fact,” Dante continued on. “We were quite shocked when we found out.” The twin smirked as Sesshoumaru bared sharp canine teeth and released a guttural growl. Inuyasha jumped from his mate’s reaction, not understanding why his mate was acting in such a matter. “Stop being a dick, Dante, and tell them,” Vergil said, getting fed up with his lover’s antics. “Xander’s mate is-” “Me.” oOoOoOo The adults in the room turned to Mizuki. Sesshoumaru stood but Inuyasha held him back. “When were you going to tell us?” Inuyasha asked, hurt that his little girl felt that she couldn’t tell him that she had taken a mate. The heiress opened her mouth to explain herself, but another voice cut in. “Because I asked her not to.” As fast as any of them could see, Sesshoumaru had Xander by the throat, only to have a blade held to his. “Drop my son, Sesshoumaru, or Inuyasha will be a widow,” Vergil threatened. “Do you really think that you can kill me before I kill your son?” “Do you really want to find out, Lord Sesshoumaru?” Vergil replied, not backing down. “Otausan, please…” Mizuki begged. Giving it some time, Sesshoumaru dropped the young devil. Xander coughed as Mizuki went to his side to comfort him. “I wouldn’t have killed the sire of my grand-heirs,” Sesshoumaru said, walking toward a side exit. “WHAT?” Dante, Vergil, and Inuyasha shouted. “Mizuki is carrying your son’s pup. As such, they will be properly mated.” They followed the taiyoukai out of the throne room. “Oh, shit!” oOo TBC oOo Not more than a day had gone by when Vergil, Dante and Inuyasha had discovered that Xander and Mizuki were expecting their own child. Obviously, Vergil and Dante had waited a tad too late to talk to their son about the birds and the bees. Kagome was summoned to the palace to perform the binding ritual for the young couple. The palace was prepared in no time to receive the royal inus for the Lord of the West’s only heir mating ceremony. Lords Ken’ichi and Saburo with their family were there, as well as Lord Muso and his mate, Lady Kumiko and all their eleven female pups. Plus, Naraku and his daughter, Kana. Even after all this time, Kagura was yet to be found. Lord Yuudai and his mate even showed. The celebration didn’t last long, as both Dante and Inuyasha went into labor. Fortunately, Kagome was able to complete the bindings. Dante and Inuyasha were rushed to the birthing chambers. However, this time Sesshoumaru and Vergil were allowed to be with their mates. oOoOoOo Ten hours later, Dante gave birth to two girls, bringing their count to five. He was asleep when Elektra, Evelyn, and Alex came in to see their new siblings. The famous trademark white hair was visible from underneath the pink blankets that the healers provided. “Is mommy okay, daddy? He doesn’t look too good,” Elektra asked, very concerned about Dante. “Mommy’s in a healing sleep. Don’t worry, he’ll wake up soon to feed your sisters,” Vergil whispered, explaining why his mate was still out of it. “Dad?” “Yes, Alex.” “You and mom are not going to have any more are you?” she asked. “I don’t know, why?” Vergil wondered. How could he and Dante be thinking of more kids with Dante just giving birth. Shrugging her shoulders as if it wasn’t important, Alex said, “Oh, I was just curious.” “Look, we have all of you to keep us busy for a while, and I don’t think Dante’s going to let me touch him again any time soon.” “Eww! We didn’t not need to know about that,” Evelyn replied, wrinkling her pert nose in distain. “Hey, I’m trying to sleep.” Vergil gazed down at his lover. The girls took it as the cue to leave. “Hey, beautiful.” “What did I tell you about calling me that fag name?” Dante said. He was still groggy from birthing the twins. “I know, but it’s the truth.” “Then you can have the next one,” Dante replied turning over to go back to sleep. “Sure, why not?” Vergil left his sleeping brother, and went to the bassinets and pulled the blankets down. Quicksilver eyes were open with no kind of focus to them before closing again. He picked up his little girl. Placing his delicate child securely in his arms, Vergil said one name that came to mind. “Sora,” he gently whispered to his first born twin. “Jaiden,” Dante grunted out. “You’re supposed to be sleeping, D,” Vergil chastised, placing Sora back into her warm bed. “And let you name the other? Get real, Verge.” Vergil ignored is brother and slipped off his blue trench, and got comfortable in bed behind him. “I love you, Vergil.” “And I love you, Dante.” oOoOoOo A litter of pups were born for the first time in the Inu no Taisho’s household. The great dog demon, Toga, would have been proud to have the three males and one female pups mewling in his arms. How would any know of such a thing? Simple. Because Sesshoumaru held his newborn pups just like how his father did when Mizuki was born. His first born, Ichiro, inherited Inuyasha’s puppy ears, and there was no doubt that his eyes were the same glittering gold. Silver hair stuck out in odd places around his small head as he squirmed and wriggled in his father’s secure hold. Magenta markings were on all his pups—exactly like his—in pairs on their cheeks, wrists, and hips. As well as his blue crescent moon. His second son, Jiro, slept through his inspection. Once again Inuyasha and Toga’s puppy ears were blessed on his third pup. His next heir, Kiyoko, thankfully got his elven like ears, but sadly not his or Inuyasha’s silver hair or eyes. Izayoi’s human blood had found a way into his strong demon bloodline. However, he was going to keep that to himself, least he would find himself sleeping in the guest quarters for half a century. Sesshoumaru gathered his last precious jewel—Masami. She was his mirror image. Inuyasha had gifted him once again to be a father. Had it not been for all the unforeseen circumstances, they would have had pups running circles around them. Sesshoumaru just wished that his father could have been here for this ostentatious event. Who knows, maybe now with Mizuki and Xander mated, he and Inuyasha might be able to relinquish their seat as ambassadors to the newly mated couple, in order to ‘see the world’, as Dante put it. He had always wanted to visit Devil May Cry. oOo owari oOo Until next time… ArchNemesis
