Prologue

Youkai and humans are more similar than many people understand. When they are happy time flies by days seem like minutes and years seem like days. Sesshoumaru and Niju grew more quickly than Yuri or Rykana had ever imagined. Sesshoumaru resembles his father more and more with a strong frame and reaching heights over six feet, and Niju resembling a woman with fuller breasts and curvier hips as they inched towards the age of eighteen. The children that found happiness at the fateful pond were maturing at an astounding rate that neither caregiver was ready for. They had so many experiences together like discovering new attributes that made each of them unique, how to push each other's buttons, and how to resolve angering issues. Niju becoming a women and Sesshoumaru becoming a man, each were scared and needing of support from each other to complete puberty with as little pain as possible. Human puberty and youkai puberty are very similar and yet very dissimilar because Sesshoumaru is an inu youkai and certain aspects of Niju's change affected him in ways that he would have never dreamed. He heard stories of young men going insane over a woman but he thought that would never happen to him for he was the son of the great Inu Tousho nothing could affect him.

An enchanting woman whom was adorned with various flowers of the spring lay lazily on the grass next to a snoring topless inu youkai. Niju nudged Sesshoumaru, "Are you going to sleep all day? This is the last day of spring before summer and I want to savor every aspect of it before the season changes. WAKE UP DOG BOY!" stated the annoyed girl.

"Don't call me dog boy." growled Sesshoumaru which made him sound more like a dog than he intended as he pounced on poor Niju.

"SESSHOUMARU get off of me I said get up not get on me." fidgeted the annoyed girl. "You said wake up and you did call me dog boy so I am just acting like a do…" with a large oomph, Sesshoumaru was pushed off Niju.

That poor boy always underestimates my strength. I have stronger legs than he does, does he not realize I am just going to kick him off ever time. Oh well.

The young girl crawled along the grass until she came upon a dying lavender flower. This was her favorite type of flower and it signified the close of spring and the entrance to summer. Spring was her favorite season flowers blossomed from every nook and crack and made the world come alive with bright colors that could only be imagined.

She slowly picked up the dying flower with tears in her eyes. Sesshoumaru smelled the salty smell coming from the direction of his beloved Niju. Little did she know that he had feelings more than friendship towards her. It all started when they were younger and going through several changes of their own. Sesshoumaru snapped himself back to reality as he rushed over Niju to find out why tears were being shed from her beautiful eyes.

"Niju why are you crying? Are you hurt?" a concerned boy said and he placed his arm on her shoulders. "No I'm fine its just that this poor flower is dying and the world never got to see its true beauty because it was trapped behind a rock for the duration of its life." the teary eyed girl just looked down at the flower with sorrow in her eyes.

"Sesshoumaru I am going to bring it back to life for a short while. Here bite the tip of my finger I'm to afraid to do it myself."

The young girl blushed as she pushed right index finger towards the shocked Sesshoumaru. She clutched the flower tighter as she noticed his expression went from shocked to confused.

"Why do you want me to bite you?" The girl's embarrassment turned to anger very quickly. "Baka! Do you ever listen to me when I talk? Remember when I said my blood could bring plants back to life. It's only for a short time because I am still young. I mean honestly Fluffy were you born a baka or have you been working at it all you life."

The girl giggled as Sesshoumaru roughly grabbed her finger and bit it drawing a small bit of blood. Her blood is sweet, so sweet; this isn't helping my situation I pray I can keep my composure. Only if she knew what she was doing to me right now she would think differently of me. She would probably think I am some kind of pervert.

Sesshoumaru shivered as he let go of her finger. "OW!! Why didn't you warn me you were going to do that? You could have been more gentle." whined the girl. She moved her hand over the flower and let a few drops of blood settle on it before the wound closed. The flower glowed and then without warning turned into a perfectly new and refreshed blossom.

Niju smiled brightly, looked up at Sesshoumaru, and threw her arms around his neck pressing her tightly to him. Sesshoumaru stiffened "Niju I...I...I have to go I think I hear Rykana calling for me. I just got to go." with that Sesshoumaru grabbed his upper garments, ran towards his home, and jumped into his favorite tree on the highest branch.

Niju sat looking very confused hmm I wonder why he ran off. I know Rykana didn't call him it isn't even sunset yet. I hope he isn't mad at me. Oh well I'll go home and finish some odds and ends and then I will wake him up tomorrow. I wonder how I am going to do that. With that, Niju walked happily to her home she knew Yuri would be surprised that she was home so early.

That girl is going to be the death of me one of these days, my god does she know what she is doing to me. I know this isn't the typical instinct it was in previous years. I have grown to love her to need her to want her. I want her as more than a friend but how do I tell her. Her smile brings me to my knees and her scent puts me into a daze. Hmmm sweet lavender, rose petals and white musk. (Bath and Body works moonlight path) A wonderful combination. Even more wonderful since I know she is in heat.

Father was not lying when he told her a woman in heat could bring the most powerful man to his knees. I remember when she began her transition into a woman. I was such an idiot back then, I refused to listen to my father, and because of that, I suffered a broken rib at the hand of her. My sweet princess.

Then again, she was no better waking me up that one morning. What did she expect to find when she woke me up in the morning? I don't know what hurt worse, her poking at it or the incessant questions. I never knew that she could be so clueless about natural..

Sesshoumaru laid there lazily drifting into a memory while his father watched on from a window. My boy is becoming a man. I wonder when he is going to tell me he wants to marry Niju and take her for his mate? Maybe I will bring that up later. Inu Tousho walked away from the window towards his wife's suite to check on her health.

*****Flashback *****

A fourteen year old Niju and Sesshoumaru

"Hey Niju do you wana go swimming today it's really hot?" asked a very happy Sesshoumaru. Something is strange why do I smell blood. Is she hurt? She doesn't look so good maybe she is sick. Hmmm. I am sure its nothing.Niju looked at Sesshoumaru with a pained face and nodded no to him. "I think I might just go back home today I am not feeling so well." Niju began to walk home when Sesshoumaru jumped in front of her to block her way.

"Niju you love to swim what's wrong? You smell like blood are you hurt because if you are I will kill whoever hurt you." growled Sesshoumaru. "You smell what? Oh my god you know. This is too embarassing I have to go."

Niju cryed as she trying to move past Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru started to sniff her to find out where the blood was coming from, before he could move lower than her elbow a swift knee to the ribs stopped his investigation. Sesshoumaru fell to the side and grabbed his side crying in pain.

"You pervert what is the matter with you smelling me? Don't you know anything about women? Its my cycle and if you come near me again I swear I will break more of your ribs!" Inu Tousho seemed to magically appear behind Sesshoumau

"Dear son you need to learn some manners. Were you not listening when we had our discussions?" chuckled Inu Tousho.

"Niju I appoligise for my son he is a bit thick headed and doesn't know when to leave something or someone alone." Inu Tousho picked up the crying Sesshoumaru and walked towards the house.

"Niju if you have any questions you are always welcome to speak with my wife she will inform you of anything you need to know." stated the youkai. "I thank you sir and I am sorry about Sesshoumaru I guess I just got scared." the girl blushed and ran home.

My ribs still hurt whenever I sense her cyclebeginning. That was not as embarassing as the time she woke me up in the morning.

Happening earlier that spring

Sesshoumaru slept peacfully on his bed in a blissful dream state dreaming of the one he loved. Dreams that young men have around the age of 17 tend to have effects on their body that are normal but not nessacarly to be seen by the person they are dreaming about.

Sesshoumaru was woken abruptly when a large mass jumped on his bed screaming "WAKE UP FLUFFY IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!" Sesshoumaru rolled over and looked up at what seemed to him to be an angel staring down at him.

This must be a dream why would she be in my bedroom? thought the confused boy. "Fluffy get out of bed and get dressed I want to go see the cherry trees blooming. Um Fluffy whats that?" the girl looked down his abdomin towards something that seemed to be poking through his pants. She took her index finger and poked at it to find out what it was. She thought it was odd nor her or Yuri had anything like that. Maybe its another tail. He is an inu youkai and they are strange creatures. Maybe it is something that is unique to only inu youkai.

Sesshoumaru's eyes flug open "What the hell are you doing that hurts. Don't you know anything about men?" Sesshoumaru turned red and then flipped over so his back was facing her he didn't want to be poked anymore it was too embarassing.

Niju looked at the embarassed Sesshoumaru and then responed "Um. no I don't actually. You are and your dad are the only men I know and I don't talk to your dad often and especially not about body parts. You are the only man I have ever been around so I don't understand what that is." Niju blushed and backed away from Sesshoumaru.

"Does it hurt? It looks painful." asked the curious girl. "No it doesn't hurt it kind of feel like a good stretch. (that's what I have been told by my boyfriend)" barked the boy. "Well what is it for I mean is it like an extra arm or something or an extra leg. I mean it does look kind of useless." the girl asked quietly. Sesshoumaru sat up and brought his knees to his chest trying to hide his condition.

"Yo..you really don't know what it is for? Yuri never told you how children are made or anything?" Sesshoumaru looked at Niju shocked.

Niju looked down at her hands about ready to cry because she felt like the supidest person in the world. People her age had families and children and here she sits and doesn't even know how children are made. All she knew was that a man and woman were needed but other than that she knew nothing. "No….Yuri won't tell me. She told me not to worry because I was never going to have children since no one will want me to bare their children." Niju began to cry softly into her hands.

"Niju don't cry please go talk with Saiaino and she will tell you about everything you need to know. I didn't know anything about how a womens body worked until my father told me." Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around the crying girl and stroked her hair until she stopped crying.

"So you don't think I'm stupid Fluffy?" the girl looked up at him with hopeful eyes. "No I don't. You know lots of things I don't. Just go talk to Saiaino and she will answer all of your questions." Sesshoumaru smiled at her brightly as she got up and ran towards Saiaino's room. "Oh Fluffy you better get ready soon I do want to see the cherry blossoms blooming before next year you know." Niju shot Sesshoumaru a smile that melted his heart.

*****End of Flashback *****

Sesshoumaru reveled in his memories. Only if she knew how much he loved her and wanted her to bare his child. He wanted to tell her right there but he thought that she wouldn't believe him.

She is the most beautiful woman in the world and only if she was mine I would be the happiest man alive. I will talk with my father maybe he will know what to do about this situation. Sesshoumaru's thoughts were halted when he heard the screaming of Rykana calling him for dinner.

Oh god does this woman think I am deaf. Doesn't she know inu youkai have the most sensative hearing of all the youkai. Sesshoumaru jumped off of the branch and landed behind the screaming Rykana and tapped her on the shoulder scaring the woman almost to death. "You don't have to scream so loud I heard you the first five times." Growled Sesshoumaru.
