Love is a Battlefield

 

A Sesshoumaru tale.

Chapter Eleven

…Break Down…

Just a quick thanks to our loyal reader/reviewer DarkAngelJudas13 for her constant reviews, thanks for reading. And I apologise if I seem repetitive. And I know Sesshoumaru is acting OOC but he's pregnant, in love and has around 600 years of repressed emotion. Everyone has a breaking point and Sesshy has reached his.

And enjoy the next instalment of Love is a Battlefield.

~ “I have given you the information I set out to give you, do with it as you will,” Sesshoumaru said as his pinkish cloud surrounded him, taking him away~

 

Sobbing screams echoed through the grounds of the Western Palace as guards and servants watched in awe filled worry as Sesshoumaru, who had returned only minutes before, tore into on of the gardens. Destroying trees, dog shaped bushes and shrubs that made up a scene of dogs playing and shattered sculptures as tears fell. His rage and pain, heartache and joy palatable as he decimated the once beautiful, pristine garden as its caretaker whimpered watching his work be felled.

One servant turned and ran to the only one she knew who could help her lord; she'd been around long enough to know of the closeness between Sesshoumaru-sama and Cratus-sama.

“Cratus-sama!” she called rushing into his chambers.

“Yes?” he replied not looking up from the parchment he was reading.

“Cratus-sama something is wrong with Lord Sesshoumaru,” she said and he was instantly on his feet.

Suddenly she realised he knew why their lord had been acting…well odd.

“Where is he? His chambers?” the healer asked.

Shaking her head she said, “west garden, the one with the dogs.”

Then they were rushing towards it as more tormented cries flooded the normally quiet manor.

Once there Cratus's heart clenched at the sight of Sesshoumaru, his tears stained cheeks pail, his once clean clothing dirty with twigs and leaves in his hair.

“Sesshoumaru,” he called moving forward and the demon froze in his next viscous attack on a large Sakura tree before throwing himself at the healer.

Sobbing Sesshoumaru clung to the only person to never betray him, never leave him.

“Sesshoumaru, son, what's wrong?” Cratus asked holding the distort lord as others stared in shock, this was the side of Sesshoumaru-Sesshoumaru kept hidden, often even from himself.

“I'm pregnant!” Sesshoumaru cried out and several gasps were heard before he continued “And the one I love cannot bare the sight of me! He…he…he!” Unable to continue Sesshoumaru just fell silent, burying his face in the crook of Cratus' neck, his clawed hand clinging to the healers shoulder.

Making a shooing motion with his free hand Cratus glanced at the female servant who had gotten him and mouthed `Tea. Lords chambers' and watched as she nodded and disappeared. Before he lowered the sobbing lord to the up turned ground, cradling the smaller man in his lap. (Sesshoumaru is only 5'10. His creator said so in an interview)

“Now, Sesshoumaru, what's happened? Have you told InuYasha of your pup?” Cratus asked and at the mention of his mate the lord flinched, moving closer to the older male, seeking comfort.

Silence rained for a few moments before the younger demon spoke “I went to him. But I…I was…I had morning sickness again, though it was closer to noon than dawn. I left his side to a stream I'd passed and he followed, we were going to talk when the rest of his pack arrived and then the bore brothers came and told everyone of my…of our pup. InuYasha killed them, we argued, I ran, he and the wolf prince followed, I explained…and…and he said he doesn't ha…hate me but I don't believe him and I left and…and…” he sobbed a whimper pulled from his throat.

“My…son, this isn't good for the pup, you need to calm down,” he said softly and felt his eyes widen slightly when Sesshoumaru sniffed, that sad, child like sound making his heart ache.

“I'm trying,” he mumbled, “I just can't stop crying! Can't you give me something to stop these horrid mood swings?” he asked lifting his head to look at the healer with needy eyes.

Shaking his head Cratus said, “Nothing that won't endanger the pup,” and Sesshoumaru sighed before yawning; suddenly bone tired.

“Come on my lord, I think you should have a nap,” Cratus said after the pup snuggled back against him only to realise that Sesshoumaru was already asleep.

(Just after Sesshoumaru left)

 

Turning to InuYasha Koga said “Well look whose a daddy,” his tone light but even his teasing didn't remove the painful, hopeful look on InuYasha's face.

“Yash,” Koga snapped and the half-breed looked at him with those agonisingly expressive eyes, “Congrats on the pup, though I think your mate is have emotional issues,” he said.

“Yeah, thanks…did you know he could have pups…as in carry them himself? Is that normal for male demons?” InuYasha asked; too dazed to realise the ignorance he was displaying.

“No, to both of those. Males that can bare young are often mated early so Sesshoumaru would already be mated. And I would have heard. My mother was a major gossip. I'm guessing he and his healer knew and decided for whatever reason to keep it to them selves. There have been many cases of baring males that have been kidnapped as young as Shippo and taught to be…whores for their master. There are also hundreds of cases of rapping's and such,” Koga said shrugging.

“They probably kept it really quiet, I highly doubt your father knew,” he said.

“I can't believe you're being so cool about all of this! Their brothers! And they're gay!” Kagome all but screamed glaring at InuYasha as if he were a disgusting bug.

“AND Kagome, that is extremely common among demons. Some families only mate with their brothers, sisters and cousins to keep the line pure. It doesn't effect our kind the same way it does yours,” the wolf said rolling his eyes.

Shippo looked at his father, tears pooling in his eyes, “Does this mean you're leaving us InuYasha?” he asked his voice shaking.

“Yeah, for a little while, why don't you guys head for Sesshoumaru's and meet me there, give me a few days to clear things and we'll have a nice little holiday,” InuYasha said with a small half smile, his eyes distant.

“Sure, Inu-san, be careful, I've heard pregnant males have a harder time, especially with emotions, the hormonal influx makes them unpredicable and moody,” Sango said smiling at the thought of a baby inu demon.

She wondered if it would have Sesshoumaru's dimples or InuYasha's ears and shook her head; to stop the image of a little silver haired child playing with a black haired brown eyed one.

“Thanks for the warning,” InuYasha said and with a nod from Miroku and a nonverbal conformation that the monk still respected him. He turned to the wolf and bark “One hair hurt I'll skin you,” before running off, leaving a laughing wolf, stunned speechless miko and amused slayer, monk and a sad kit.
