Announcements: come on read them u know u wana

I don't own no body.. Hey I was thinking the other day did you ever wonder what Inu Yasha would look like if he was real? I thought about it and even though he is like hella hot in the anime. I think I would be quivering in my flip flops if he were real.. Think about this a 6ft+ guy with yellow eyes, white hair, fangs, claws, and dog ears.. That would make for an odd looking person…but then again he might be really hot… Ah well my rambling is over.. hence forth with the story

The End of One Life and the Beginning of Another

(humor me and think that youkai develop a little quicker than humans..not much though…This is about a year after Inu was born perhaps a little longer so bear with me…since communication was slow it took forever to send out the invitations..like duh lol)

The days after Inu Yasha's birth were hectic. Inu Tousho had forgotten what it was like having a young child around the castle and all of the responsibility that came with it. Inu Tousho thought that it would be good practice for his son and his future mate to watch little Inu Yasha while his mate recovered from the birth. The two spent many nights awake walking the floors with a crying pup or waking up in the morning to be greeted with a hungry screaming inu hanyou who wanted a clean diaper.

One Night….

Niju scooped up the freshly washed and changed pup and slowly walked to Sesshoumaru's chamber hoping Inu Yasha would suddenly fall asleep and let her get some much needed rest. Niju crawled into bed next to Sesshoumaru and cuddled Inu Yasha to her chest so that he slept between her and Sesshoumaru. Thankfully the baby slipped into the world of slumber and Niju was able to join him immediately after. Sesshoumaru woke when she entered the bed and placed an arm around the two of them Hopefully one day I will have a son of my own that will grow up to be like his father. Sesshoumaru went back to sleep only to be woken up again by a screaming pup. "Oh why must you be hungry now. Come on lets go get some milk for you." Maybe we will wait a while before we have children. Sesshoumaru fed the child but was unable to get the child to go back to sleep so it was another sleepless night for him.

Niju and Sesshoumaru received some training in parenthood both the lord and lady of the house felt it would be most beneficial for them being as that they would be parents themselves soon. Inu Yasha slept in a room that was not very far from Sesshoumaru's room he was fascinated with his older brother to the point that his first word was "fluffy". Niju had taught him this of course but Sesshoumaru proud that fluffy was his first word. He would also wander to his room when he was scared and sleep in his bed like he had when he was a new born pup. The sight of the two "pups" was enough to melt anyone's heart.

Fluffy?!?!?!

Niju was washing and dressing Inu Yasha for the day he was already a full year old and was walking around the castle but he had yet to say word. Some of the servants began to wonder if he was a mute. Niju was chatting away to him "Today fluffy and me are going to take you where we met and go swimming. It is such a nice day. I met fluffy when I was four years old and he was outside for the first time. He was the cutest little puppy. He had these soft fluffy ears and tail. But I like your ears best of all." Niju reached her hand out and began scratch Inu Yasha's ears. He leaned into her hand and giggled (dogs don't purr ok) when she pulled her hands away he whimpered and looked sad like a hurt puppy.

"Oh you like that huh? Your brother did also." After Inu Yasha was dressed the task of brushing his beautiful silver hair was next. He liked having his hair brushed but would scream when a knot or matte was found. As she was brushing his hair Sesshoumaru entered the room with a bouquet of wild flowers for her. As he entered the room Inu Yasha began to fidget so Niju let him down from her lap so he could run to his brother. When he seen Sesshoumaru enter the room he yelled "FLUFFY!" only like a child and then ran to his brother. Both Niju and Sesshoumaru were stunned silent, of all the words he could of said he said "fluffy" surely Sesshoumaru was going to be a bit annoyed with Niju. The remainder of the day Inu Yasha walked around the castle saying "fluffy" to everyone and eveything. As the days passed Inu Yasha's vocabulary increased in number but no one ever forgot "fluffy".

Back to the story….

Time passed as it always does and before anyone could believe it, Inu Yasha was almost two and held a temperament that was similar to his brother's when he was that age. Inu Yasha was more excited than anyone else was about the wedding. His two favorite people were getting married and were going to make him children to play with. So his mother told him. It was now the night before the wedding and he was told by his father that he had to stay with Rykana and Yuri for the night because Lady Saiaino and Lord Inu Tousho needed to speak with the young couple. Inu Yasha didn't like this one bit but he did as his father requested because he was a big boy. He didn't care for Rykana or Yuri they were both mean to him and refused to play with him. Rather they would sit around the table in their room and gossip.

The lords and ladies from all around the country gathered for this momentous occasion. The heir to the western lands was finally taking a mate, this was a joyous time indeed. The castle was alive with a flurry of activity, exotic flowers from all over the different lands were being shipped to the area near the pond and it had turned into something that resembled a shrine. It was the night before her wedding and Lady Saiaino promised a night with just the two of them. Niju would finally be able to see the kimono she was going to wear and learn more about married life. What ever that was suppose to mean.

******Later that night after the two go their separate ways**********

Niju makes her way to Lady Saiaino's chamber her stomach has been turning all day. First, she was surrounded by dozens of people that she did not know, then she probed about her linage, and worst of all the women wanted to know why she was marked but not mated. Some believed it was because she was less than pure? Niju was exhausted and the last thing she wanted to deal with was another person who would just interrogate her about something. She groaned as she knocked on her lady's door.

"Come in child." squealed an overly happy women. Niju just rolled her eyes and walked into the room. "Hello Milady I am here as you requested. What must you speak with me about?" recited the girl. "Oh Niju I must show you, your ceremonial kimono. It was once Sesshoumaru's mothers. I am most certain she would of wanted you to wear it in her honor." Lady Saiaino was holding up the kimono with two hands for Niju's inspection. The kimono was magnificent it was the purest white Niju had ever seen. On the bright white satin lay embroidered dogs with silver thread. It was an absolutely breath taking sight.

Niju outstretched a hand to feel the fine fabric not believing such beauty could exist in the form of silk. The fabric flowed over her fingers like a cool liquid. "Child let's see how it looks on you." Niju disrobed and Lady Saiaino helped her into to the exquisite clothing. Niju slowly turned to view herself in the mirror then gasped. Her dainty hands covered her mouth as tears fell from her eyes. "I look like a bride. I wish my family could watch the ceremony tomorrow." She turned and sought comfort in Saiaino's embrace. Saiaino had become Niju's surrogate mother, she taught her about growing up and becoming a woman.

"Cheer up sweetie I have yet to tell you how to control your husband." Saiaino gave Niju a devious grin. "Dry your eyes and change your clothes we have much to discuss about being mated." Niju quickly changed her clothes but she could not rid her heart of the sadness it held. After all these years she still missed her family terribly and wanted nothing more than to see them again and tell them of her life with Sesshoumaru.

Niju seated herself next to Saiaino on the futon nervously. Saiaino was truly enjoying herself she had little female companionship during her stay with her lord, Niju was always near but she always viewed her as a child since she was not married. A woman was not a woman until she married and ran her own household. "Come here child we must speak about your wedding night. I am sure you are a bit more knowledgeable than you should be due to your little tryst with Sesshoumaru?" smirked Saiaino. "Well…um…well you…um see here…it just kind of happened. We didn't mate completely, I am still untouched in that way." stammered Niju

"I see. Do you remember the talks we had man seasons ago?" Niju stared down at her hands and squeaked "Yes my lady." "Well then we shall get some sleep you have a long day tomorrow. Good night dear you will make a wonderful bride." Both women settled down to sleep for tomorrow was going to be rather hectic and very stressful.

**************Meanwhile Sesshoumaru and Inu Tousho discuss the mating******

"Sesshoumaru come here son. This was the hakama and haori that I was mated in and well I would like for you to wear it. Niju is going to wear your mother's kimono from that ceremony." the demon lord held the haori up to his chest and staring at it will teary eyed memories. He loved Sesshoumaru's mother very much but she was taken from him during the birth of their second pup was still born when it arrived in this world, it was unable to know the joys of life. He never named the female pup because it would of made the death not so generic and more realistic. If a life has no name when it passes it is easily forgotten and involves little pain. But if a name is attached to that life it becomes a person and the pain is real. Sesshoumaru was too young to understand what had transpired but the poor boy did not have a mother for many years before Saiaino came along and even after it took him a long time to view her as a mother figure.

The haori that Inu Tousho held up was a fine black material that had silver dogs embroidered on it. This was the mating ceremony ensemble of his people. "Father I would be honored to wear your mating ceremony hakama and haori at my ceremony." Sesshoumaru took the Haori from his father and examined the fabric the scent of his father and mother still lingered on it.

"Sesshoumaru I have a surprise for you. Tomorrow you will take over my title as lord of the western lands and begin training. Unfortunately you will be away from your bride for long periods of time but you must learn how to maneuver through the lands and learn of your people. Two days after the ceremony we will leave so make sure you give me a grand child before then." teased Inu Tousho. "Father I am not ready to bring you grandchildren nor am I ready to become lord of the western lands." whined Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru you will learn to be a great lord and father like I have." Inu Tousho looked at his son with annoyance. "I will do as you ask father but no grandchildren yet. I want to enjoy married life first. After taking care of Inu Yasha I realize I am not ready to have any pups just yet." Sesshoumaru's face beamed with a smile

"On the bright side tomorrow you will get to finish what you started at that hot spring and may the god of fertility bless you with a pup of your own. Lets go to sleep boy we have much to do tomarrow." Sesshoumaru held the haori to his nose again, he wanted to remember his mother's scent for tomorrow his and Niju's scent will cover his parents and be left like that for the next generation. He threw the haori over a chair and laid down in his bed next to his father to sleep just as he did when he was a child. Tomorrow he would become a man and take over the title lord of the western lands becoming the next fearless leader. I wonder if I will be a good husband to Niju? Will she bring me any sons? Will I be a great leader? Why is life so complicated? His father would begin his training a few days after the ceremony and he would be away from Niju. The boy anxiously let sleep take him for tomorrow he was going to become another person.
