Chapter 19

 

 

Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Maru were relaxing in the study when Totosai entered. Kagome was now six months pregnant and the pups would be born any time now. She had been reading to the pups as of late and while most found it strange Sesshomaru thought it was a good idea. What harm could it do and it kept her out of trouble in his mind.

 

Totosai had just entered the room and made his way over to the girl. A smile and a light chuckle drew her attention away from the book that she was reading. She noticed that he was holding a picture, a scroll and something wrapped sitting next to him. The first thing that he showed her was the picture. A gasp from her made Sesshomaru and Maru come to see what was so shocking.

 

“This is my father, but I don't know who the others are.” She said as a tear slipped from her eye.

 

“I am sure that Lord Sesshomaru could inform of the one gentlemen, but they were all my friends.” Totosai said

 

“That is my father.” Sesshomaru said narrowing his eyes at the old man. “Explain.”

 

“Certainly that is precisely why I am here. Your fathers' and when I say yours I do mean you also Maru.” Totosai said looking at Maru.

 

“Your fathers were a part of a grand council that overlooked the well being of several different worlds. That is where we all met and became good friends. I knew your fathers before they married or mated and had been there for your births. There had even been a bet on which son Kagome might end up with. No one would have seen this one coming.” Totosai laughed as he thought of friends.

 

“Maru it had been at a meeting that we learned of the disappearance of your father, mother and yourself. Kagome's father had gone to find out what had happened, but also vanished without word. A sad day it was and Sesshomaru I am sure that you recall what happened after your father had gone drinking in despair.” Totosai sighed at the thought of his friend's fate.

 

“It is time that you three take their places at the council. Kagome I had forged a weapon for your father and now I bestow upon you the bow of opening.” Totosai said handing her the bow.

 

“The bow of opening?” Kagome whispered backed to the old man.

 

“It will open a portal to the world you wish to be in. I had transported the magic from the bow to the well when your father disappeared for the universe travel. I did not think your mother would want a baby to have a bow. The bow will also take you three to the grand council. You must be there in six months time. I will be informing them of your arrival.” Totosai said

 

“So you expect us to go to this grand council and do what exactly?” Sesshomaru asked

 

“You will be new guardians taking your fathers' places. It was what you were born to be and your pups shall follow in your footsteps.” Totosai said grabbing the scroll.

 

“This shall help. A spell of changing to fit in with your surroundings.” Totosai said handing the scroll to Sesshomaru.

 

Kagome had her own questions for Totosai, but as she went to ask she felt a great spasm in her back. Her eyes widened as both inus looked her over to see if she was okay. Next was a great gush of fluid all over her kimono. Her inus jumped to their feet and then smacked into each other trying to get the healer. They had however forgotten to get Kagome.

 

A laughing Totosai picked her up and walked her to the healer. He knew it was going to be today. He did have one final thing to say to the girl before he left for his home.

 

“I have another secret to let you in on. Your children shall be elementals.” Totosai said as Kagome's mouth hung open.

 

“They shall have power like no world has ever seen. Your children will be great rulers and when the time is right I shall make them swords.” Totosai said laying her down upon the futon as her inus ran in to apologize.

 

In the midst of the chaos and the contractions Totosai had slipped away with out anyone noticing. Maru and Sesshomaru had done their best to calm her over the hours of contractions. They had found it best to be at her side in shifts until the pups were ready to come into the world.

 

The healer was worried about the human. The pups would not be able to come into the world on their own. There was a good chance that she would not make it. So while Sesshomaru and Maru sat at her side and the healer explained that it was possible that one of her pups would die Kagome grabbed her bow and thought of her mother.

 

The next thing she knew she was in her room as her mother rushed in happy to see her, but confused at the sight. Questions would have to wait as Sesshomaru and Maru explained the grave importance of the situation her mother rushed her to the car and then to the hospital.

 

In the car she watched as Sesshomaru chanted over Kagome and Maru. Maru and Sesshomaru looked human, but Kagome had not changed at all. They would have to ask Totosai how he knew that they would need such a spell.

 

Arriving at the hospital Kagome was rushed away for an emergency c-section. Well her inus became confused and scared about what was happening with their mate. Her mother had convinced them that she was going to be safe and hoped that she had not lied to them. In the hall the nurses looked to the room as they heard soft whining.

 

Kagome's mother had explained to the nurses that her daughter her husband and his twin had come to visit not thinking that she may go into labor. Then of course the question of who was the father came. As both inus said they were the fathers. The Nurses thought it best to drop the question thinking that it may cause an argument. Kagome's mother however didn't and when the doctors and nurses all left she asked again.

 

“So who is the father?” She asked.

 

Sesshomaru and Maru explained that they both were mated to Kagome and the pups were both of theirs. Her mother paled and made a little oh face at the story. She would have to talk to her daughter after the madness has ended.

 

It had been a half an hour later that Kagome was brought back. She cracked her eyes to see her inus sitting one on each side of the bed. Such worried looks they had on their faces. Both began to nuzzle and make sure she was okay. Her mother smiled warmly at the scene. She knew her daughter was safe.

 

The baby boys had been brought in a little later. The spell held true for the tiny ones and Sesshomaru let the breath he was holding out. His only question was why did Totosai have the scroll in the first place and how did he know they would need it?

 

Two really happy fathers rushed to their boys. All four boys had been promptly picked up by one of their family members. Sesshomaru and Maru looked at each when they felt the magic thrum through the tiny beings. They had a feeling that Kagome had another surprise yet in store for them.

 

As her mother held one of her grandsons Kagome told her what Totosai said about her father. Her mother had never really known what had happened to the man. She did however keep hope that he would return to her one day. Kagome promised that they would learn what happened and then tell her anything that they learned.

 

They arrived at the palace a week later with the bundles in their arms. Sesshomaru removed the spell as the entire palace waited with bated breath only to be shocked with what they saw. Well except for Kagome who thought it best to explain why the babies looked as they did. Inhaling sharply at the fact that their children would hold so much power Maru almost pitied them. Sesshomaru swelled with pride at the fact.

 

All boys had been named accordingly to the element that they held.

 

Tsuchi had blue and green hair, with one eye blue and one green. He had a circle of blue and green on his forehead. Kaze had silver hair like his fathers, but stormy gray eyes with silver horizontal waves on his forehead. Mizu had a deep ocean blue hair with seafoam colored eyes. A water droplet the same color as his hair on his forehead. Then lastly was Ka with bright gold and red hair. He had his fathers golden eyes. A bright dark flame on his forehead.

 

 

A/N

I thought that I was almost finished and now I am not so sure. I have to deal with the council, what the hell happened to Kagome and Maru's parents, the whole thing with Totosai and on and on. Good gravy.
