Chapter 12: Miroku Gets His Wish Part 2

 

Inuyasha was furious and he grabbed the monk and spun him around when he found him in the garden talking to Kohaku. “What are you going to do about this?” he demanded, snarling into Miroku's face.

 

“What are you talking about?” Miroku questioned a bit fearfully. He had no idea what had gotten the hanyou so worked up.

 

“Are you serious about my sister?” Inuyasha retorted his face flushing red.

 

“Yes, yes, what is all this about?” Miroku tried to wriggle out of Inuyasha's grasp.

 

“She's pregnant, and I assume you're the father,” he spat out, finally letting go of the human.

 

Miroku looked at him in stunned silence before sitting down with a thump on the bench beside the flowering bush. Kohaku stood staring at the two friends curious to see if Inuyasha was going to beat the living crap out of the monk, which it looked like he badly wanted to do.

 

A large grin began to sneak across the monk's face. “Really?” he questioned excitedly, forgetting the anger his hanyou friend was still displaying. “I'm going to be a father...but…how do you know, Sesshoumaru never said anything to me, it hasn't even been a month since…” he let the sentence trail off as he finally noticed how pissed Inuyasha was looking. He raised his hands, palm outwards towards the hanyou. “Listen I will do the honourable thing, I've already asked Sesshoumaru to become my wife, we just haven't picked a date as of yet.”

 

“Well, get picking,” Inuyasha returned, beginning to feel somewhat better about the situation. He was still standing, glaring down at the monk with his arms crossed in front of his chest when Sesshoumaru appeared.

 

“Inuyasha, do not threaten my fiancée,” she intoned a bit irritably. She assumed from the look of things that her brother had opened his big mouth before she had had a chance to talk to Miroku.

 

She had known within a couple of weeks that she had become pregnant, her scent had changed and the heat she should have had, had been almost non-existent. She had been concerned at how to approach the subject as they were in the very beginnings of their relationship and she was nervous as to how Miroku would react.

 

Another worry was that she certainly couldn't stay here to have the pup. It wouldn't be safe if others found out they had been ruled over by a female and she knew other lords would attempt to take over her lands, not accepting a human lord either as ruler. She had just recently thought of a solution but her overly protective brother had spilled the beans.

 

There were days that she wished Inuyasha had never found out about her and that he would just leave her in peace. She had come to love the hanyou deeply but she found him more annoying than Jaken at times, this being one of those times.

 

She had no need to worry about Miroku who was absolutely overjoyed at the news. He leapt up from the bench rushing to Sesshoumaru and taking her arm. “You should sit and rest,” he fussed trying to get her to sit on the bench he had just left. “You're in a delicate condition and shouldn't tax yourself.”

 

“I am not a weak ningen,” she responded glaring at her brother and pulling her arm away from Miroku.

 

Inuyasha uncrossed his arms and lowered his eyes. Oops, I guess I should have waited for her to tell him. “Well, maybe I should go now,” he said nervously, trying to back towards the path to the castle.

 

“No, you will stay here,” Sesshoumaru ordered. “I have something that you will have to do.” Inuyasha looked at her quizzically waiting for her to continue. “You are going to be me,” she stated matter of factly.

 

“What? What do you mean I'm going to be you?”

 

“I cannot have the pup here, too many would find out about me. I intend to have the child elsewhere; you will remain here and take my place so as not to cause suspicion at my absence from the lands for such a long period of time.”

 

“I can't be you,” Inuyasha proclaimed. “All anyone had to do is look at me and see I'm not you.”

 

“We are not that dissimilar. You are somewhat shorter and we'll have to do something about those ears but I believe we can disguise you well enough. I will instruct you in how to mimic me and Jaken will stay with you to offer his assistance and instruction until I return.”

 

“Sesshoumaru, there is no way I can do this. I don't know how to run a kingdom and what do you mean do something with my ears?”

 

“You will do this,” Sesshoumaru growled out. “Think of it as practice. If something were to ever happen to me, you would be the next lord. It is time you grew up and learned of your heritage. Father thought well enough of you to safe your miserable life, this is the least you can do in repayment,” the demoness ground out.

 

Inuyasha swallowed nervously. Sesshoumaru may have been female but she was still the most powerful demon around and at the moment she was an angry powerful demon. Besides, Inuyasha had wanted to learn of his father's life and history. “Will Jaken really stay and help me?” he questioned.

 

“Yes, he will obey my orders and you can keep your friends with you as well if you wish, except for the miko, she will accompany me.”

 

“And me,” stated Miroku firmly, stepping forward to take Sesshoumaru's hand.

 

She gave him a brief smile. “And you,” she returned softening her voice.

 

“Why Kagome? Why can't she stay here?” Inuyasha questioned.

 

“I need someone to aid me during the birth, I trust her,” Sesshoumaru stated blandly, completely flooring the two men. They had no idea that the demoness felt anything towards the younger girl. Even though Sesshoumaru had not shown animosity towards the teen, neither had she been affectionate or friendly even though Kagome had tried on many occasions to befriend her.

 

Sesshoumaru actually liked Kagome quite a bit but found it hard to show her true feelings. Holding her emotions in check had been too ingrained into her to change now. “I will protect your miko, brother, have no fear of that.”

 

“I'm not worried about that, and who says she's my miko?” he questioned feeling flustered.

 

Sesshoumaru raised her eyebrow at him wondering if he really was as stupid as he acted half the time. She decided to let it drop. “I will begin your instruction tomorrow. We should have a few months to get you prepared before I will have to leave.”

 

“Where are we going to go?” Miroku asked.

 

“We will go far to the east where I am not as well known. I intend to be disguised as well so no one will recognize me.”

 

Inuyasha had his doubts as to how they were going to hide his sisters identity but he could see she had made up her mind and nothing was going to dissuade her from doing what she felt she had to do. Well I guess she's had a secret identity all these years, I suppose what's another one.
