Ok, I know I said that I wouldn't post until after Christmas, but I decided to at least get to chapter 20 before the New Year. Whatever. Consider this a Christmas Present.

Remember that this chapter is set in April, after Christmas, after the New Year. Kagome AND Ayame's pups are due

Merry Christmas!

Chapter 17: Eenzerubebi

InuYasha and Miroku struggled to hold back a snarling Kouga, whose eyes were slowly turning red as Ayame screamed once more.

“Kouga, she isn't getting harmed, she's having your pups. Now stop struggling. You can't see her yet. She's still in labor.” InuYasha growled. Miroku grunted in agreement. Sighing, he pulled out an odufa, and enchanting it, placed it on Kouga's forehead, successfully immobilizing him. Howling, Kouga tried in vain to once more get to his baying mate.

“AYAME!” He howled. InuYasha shook his head, realizing that he would soon be reduced to this as well, once Kagome when into labor.

Soon, the men could hear the bawling of twin voices, both voices battling each other for dominance. Sighing with relief, Miroku released Kouga from the enchantment. Immediately the wolf burst into the room where Ayame was holding two identical balls of grey fluff, who were the cause of the incessant crying. Grinning, he moved to sit beside her bed, and gazed down at his pups. His girls. Smiling at his mate, he kissed her brow.

“What are their names?” He asked softly

“Well, you name one, and I'll name the other. I choose this one. This one's Mai.” She said, pointing to the wolf pup that had grey fur and brown specks, her eyes Kouga's striking blue. Kouga grinned at her. He then turned to study her sister's appearance. Her fur was also grey with those specks of brown; however, her eyes were a deep shade of green, a shade or two darker than Ayame's. Frowning for a minute, Kouga thought deeply on what to name the second green-eyed beauty in his pack. His expression brightening, he turned once more to look at the pup being held securely in his love's arms, before shifting his eyes to look at his mate.

“Her name shall be Ren.”
“That's beautiful. I love it. I love you, Kouga. I love these pups too. However, now I must rest.”

“Why?”

“You try giving birth to two pups and see if you don't need rest afterwards.” She snapped playfully. Kouga smirked.

“Ok, as long as you sire them.”

------------------------------------------------

“Ok Kagome, come on, you can do it!” Sango encouraged, holding her friends' hand as she watched her go through the torture that is labor. Grunting in pain, Kagome puffed as another contraction hit. Straining as hard as she could, she was relieved to hear her first-born's first breath, her cry penetrating the suspenseful atmosphere. Sighing in relief, Kagome had little time to relax, as another contraction hit her like a train. Screaming, she screamed once again. Sango, having raced out to care for the first pup, scurried back into the room to once more grab Kagome's hand.

“Ayame, can you tend to the pup?”

“Certainly.” Ayame replied, bustling off to the next room over.

“Come on Kagome. InuYasha will never forgive me if this birth goes wrong.” Sango said. Kagome chuckled painfully. However, her laughter soon dissipated only to be replaced by a cry of pain.

“Come on Kagome…”
-----------------------------------------------

“Let me go!” InuYasha growled as Kouga grabbed him round the waist in an effort to hold the desperate hanyou back. Turning to Miroku, he gave the monk a look of pleading. Nodding, Miroku yet again pulled an odufa out of his robes, and plastered it to InuYasha's head, quickly withdrawing his hand, for the inu hanyou had tried to bite it.

“Calm yourself InuYasha. It will not help Kagome or your pups if she senses your distress.” the monk tried to soothe. Snarling, InuYasha managed to plunk down into an Indian-style sitting position, his ears twitching with every breath Kagome took.

-----------------------------------------------

“Come on Kagome! One more push and she'll be out! Come on!” Sango and Ayame urged. Nodding, Kagome pushed one last time, before screaming her relief that it was finally over. Her pup cried, and wailed, and Kagome laughed with happiness, tears streaking down her cheeks.

InuYasha, at that moment, decided to bust through the door. Sighing with relief, he moved to sit on Kagome's bed, drawing her into his lap, as he kissed her tenderly.

“Kagome, that was the scariest thing I've ever been through.

“Kagome?”

Kagome and InuYasha both looked round to see Ayame and Sango come in with two beautiful baby girls. One had flowing raven black hair, with two white ears, with black tips, like Kagome's. Her eyes were the deepest of molten gold, even deeper than that of Sesshoumaru's. When InuYasha saw her, his breath caught in his throat.

“What's wrong InuYasha?” Kagome asked worriedly.
“She has father's eyes.”
“What?”

“My father. She has my father's eyes.”

“Really?” InuYasha didn't reply, but surveyed his other daughter's appearance.

She had InuYasha's silvery hair, except her ears were black with white tips, her eyes a deep sapphire blue. She blinked a couple of times at him, and shrieked with laughter when his ears twitched. InuYasha smiled warmly at the pup, before taking her into his arms, while Sango handed the black haired pup to Kagome. They sat in silence for a while, before Kagome finally spoke.

“I already have a name for the one you're holding InuYasha.” She said cheerfully. InuYasha shifted his gaze to her expectantly. “Aiko.” Kagome said softly. As though she already knew her name, Aiko turned to look at her mother. Kagome giggled. InuYasha looked intently at the girl in Kagome's arms, before a name dawned on him.

“Mika..” he said simply.

“Hm?” Kagome asked.

“Mika. I want to call that pup Mika.” He repeated. Kagome nodded, staring lovingly at the babe in her arms.

“Then Mika it is.”

“Okaasan?” asked a tentative voice just beyond the door. Kagome looked up and smiled.

“Come see your new sisters Shippou…”
