InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Summer days ❯ 3 ( Chapter 3 )

6. The Telling and a Cradle

Inuyasha woke up early the next day; he was very excited to say the least. Today was the day he would tell his mate about her expectation. He tucked the fur around Sango's sleeping form and ventured out from the cave. For the third day in a row, there was a clear blue sky, he inhaled the fresh air and looked content with him self. He thought about the material for the cradle, and found the oak to be the best tree to use. He took off and found what he was looking for in a nearby forest. He sliced up the tree using his sword and brought back the material to the cave. With skilled fingers and claws, he began to create the frame to the cradle.

Sango heard some odd noises and decided it was time to wake up. She followed the sounds to the outside and found Inuyasha sitting on the ground, carving in a piece of wood. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked at him with curious eyes.

-          Inu-chan, what are you doing? she asked?

-          If you will make some tea for us I will soon tell you what I am making, he answered with a sparkling smile.

Sango nodded, not quite satisfied with his answer, she did not like surprises, they always seemed to blow up in her face and become nasty.

Inuyasha brushed his red armour off and went after Sango. He saw her preparing for tea and he sat down at the table. His smile never left his face. "He is acting odd, what is he up to?" she wondered as she watched him from the corner of her eyes. "That goofy smile of his, something weird is going on here." Sango had used two words that Kagome once had taught her. Sometimes words from the future did come in handy. She poured up tea into carved cups and she sat down face to face with her husband.

Inuyasha tasted Sango's delicious tea and his smile widened a bit.

-          Ok Inu-chan, would you like to tell me what you are up to? She asked a bit angrily.

-          I am making a cradle.

Inuyasha had dropped his bomb and silence entered the cave. Sango just stared at her mate as if he had grown mushrooms on his head.

-          You are making WHAT?!!

-          A cradle my beloved mate, you are carrying my pup, he clarified.

-          Are you telling me Inuyasha, that I am pregnant? Sango whispered with low voice, she tried to grasp the things he was telling her.

-          Yes, you are pregnant; I can smell it in your scent. I knew it yesterday, but I wanted to surprise you a bit by making a little cradle for the pup.

-          Surprise me a bit??

-          Are you not happy my mate? Inuyasha's voice hinted a bit of hurt.

-          I… I…

Sango rose and waved her hands, not knowing what to say. She was carrying Inuyasha's child within her womb. How could this have happened? "You dimwit, you know how it happened, if you make love like you two have done, this was bound to happened. But am I happy?... Of course I am.. I am going to have a baby." Sango screamed and threw herself into Inuyasha's dumfounded form.

-          We are going to have a baby?!!! Of course I am happy my mate, so very happy, she cried happily and let little kisses rain down on the hanyou's face.

-          You had me worried there for a while Sango, he said, gasping for air. She had hugged him to tight for his lungs to work correctly.

-          Sorry Inu-chan, but I am so happy I could scream.

"You already have my love."he thought with a smile and felt the ringing in his sensitive ears. He saw her rise again and began to pace around the cave.

-          Oh, Inu-chan there is so much we must do before the baby is born, she began ranting all the things they had to do and Inuyasha sighed, but it was a happy sigh.

They spent the rest of the day planning for the happy event. Inuyasha could not have been a happier hanyou. He had a lovely mate, and she carried their first child. With in a month he should be able to tell the sex of the pup too. This day turned out to be a very good one.

7. Two visits to the prize of one day

A month later Inuyasha was the one to chop wood for the cooking fire. He would not let Sango do anything related to heavy work. He knew she was furious with him, but he would just kiss her and whisper loving words to her and she would give in. He was overprotecting her, but he would not risk her or the pup's life if he could prevent it.

Suddenly he felt a familiar scent in the air and he laid down the axe to look for the person that was entering his territory. "This can become ugly." he thought as he saw a figure with dark blue and lilac robes.

-          Mate, we have a visitor today, he called for Sango.

-          We have? Wonderful, I will make us some tea. Who is it? said Sango with a cheery voice.

-          Miroku and his wife I believe, said Inuyasha.

Sango stiffened noticeable and her eyes widen with both fear and anger. Inuyasha smelled her distress and immediately went to her. He pulled her inside the warmth of his embrace, whispering words of comfort to her.

-          He cannot hurt you anymore my mate; you are my mate now, not his. If he as much dares to touch or scold you, I will personally see to that he is fed with buffalo shit, ok?

Sango laughed at Inuyasha's choice of words and nodded, of course her mate would protect her. He hugged her tightly before letting her go so she could make the promised tea to them.

Inuyasha went outside and greeted his old friend and his wife.

-          Long time Miroku, how are you? he asked politely.

-          Very well thank you, I am here because I think Kaede is getting old and do not know what she is saying, said Miroku with a hint of humour in his voice. First, this is my wife Aoji.

-          Nice to meet you Aoji-san, said Inuyasha with respectful voice, surprising his old friend.

-          I am glad to finally have the opportunity to meet you too Inuyasha-sama, I have heard so much about your adventures with my husband, the young woman said with a sparkle.

-          Now that we are familiar with each other, what do you mean that Kaede is old? We went to see her the other day; she seemed just fine then, said Inuyasha and showed them inside the cave.

-          Well, she said that she had preformed a ceremony for you and Sango about a month ago, a binding ceremony.

-          Did you ask any of the villagers if her telling was correct? asked Inuyasha with a coldness in his voice.

-          No, because I knew she was just babbling, like old people tend to do sometimes.

-          Hmm, ok…

Miroku flinched a bit when he saw the dark shadow appear in his old friend's eyes. There was something… but he just could not put his finger on it.

Inuyasha led them into the kitchen area and let them have their seats beside the table. He walked up to Sango's stiff form and took the teapot from her shaking hands.

-          It is ok my beloved, let me handle this ok? he whispered low so that their guests would not hear his words.

-          Ok my mate, she answered with equally low voice.

He went back to the table and poured tea into the carved cups.

-          So you think Kaede was just babbling when she said she had preformed the binding ceremony for Sango and me? Inuyasha asked, a tint of bitterness could be heard in his rough voice.

-          Yes, we all know you have this thing for both Kikyo and Kagome, why should you offer yourself to be the mate of a demon slayer? Miroku's voice was filled with something that Sango would recognize as disgust.

-          Is there something wrong with demon slayers? Inuyasha asked. - We both travelled with Sango many years, and I did not find anything wrong with her.

-          No, like a friend she is good, but as a mate… tsk tsk… her body is covered with scars and battle marks.

-          Houshi-sama, I truly am sorry for you, came a cold voice from the entrance of the cave.

They all looked up to see Inuyasha's brother standing there with both the toad demon Jaken and the little girl named Rin.

-          Rin-chan, squealed Sango and rushed forward towards the young girl.

-          Sango-sama, how are you? asked the girl, hugging the older woman with love.

-          What is this? Miroku asked with confused looks in his dark blue eyes.

-          Miroku, you know my older brother Sesshoumaru, do you not?

The former monk nodded.

-          Well, I have been living with him for a few years. But little more then a month ago, I travelled back to Kaede and found out that Sango was in a poor shape. I paid my dear friend a visit, and I found love inside her arms.

Miroku's jaw dropped to the ground.

-          Sango and I are both Mates and we are Husband and Wife. We asked Kaede to perform the binding ceremony for us, and Sango is carrying our first-born child within her womb, said Inuyasha with pride, almost puffing his chest up.

-          WHAT??You are married to her? Miroku spat with venom.

Aoji flinched at her husband's words, this was not the loving and caring Miroku, she had come to know, this was something else.

Sesshoumaru felt the hostility inside the cave and prepared himself to protect his brother and mate. The former monk showed signs that made his immortal soul shiver with an uncomfortable buzz.

Inuyasha's golden eyes hardened to be like two like to dangerously glimmering diamonds, no one talked about his mate like that.

-          Yes, I am both married and mated to Sango. Do you have something against that, I suggest you leave us at once, he growled low.

-          I just cannot believe you have picked the most scarred bride in the entire region, Miroku scolded.  - Shit Inuyasha, I had thought a handsome guy like you would have picked a more beautiful woman to be your mate and wife.

"That's it…"Sesshoumaru took a firm grip around the former monk's throat and lifted him out from the cave. He would gladly have poisoned the taunting monk. However, the shithead had a wife, and he was not the one to claim the title widower.

-          Sango-sama is the perfect wife and mate for my brother, and I will not hear any more of your taunting about my little sister, is that understood. If you are to show your face here again, this Sesshoumaru will kill you, is that understood monk?

-          Y-yes.. Miroku hiccupped.

-          Good, leave now and you will go unharmed.

-          Aoji-chan, come we will go NOW, Miroku panted.

No sound was heard from his wife.

-          Aoji, come we must go now, the former monk yelled.

-          NO!I will not go with you, she piped back, taking cover behind the tall taiyoukai.

-          Aoji??

-          No, you are a horrible person, and I here by declare that you are no longer my husband!

Miroku gasped and his face became as long as a horse, with his wife's statement.

-          Aoji, you cannot mean that…

-          YES I CAN!!I will not hear of it anymore, Sango-chan is a beautiful person and so is her husband, I will not be able to hear you cursing about them again, the young woman's voice rang inside the cavern.

-          You heard her Houshi, leave this area now, or I, Sesshoumaru, will have you disposed like a bag of garbage, the Taiyoukais sinister voice hollered

The ice-cold glare inside the inu-youkais golden eyes and the hateful eyes of his… now former wife, made Miroku to take his leave without further comments. The former monk could deal with Inuyasha, but if his older brother, the almighty Sesshoumaru at his side, no.. there was no chance in hell he could possible win that battle. The monk withdrew, leaving his former young wife behind.

Aoji watched as her husband pulled back and disappeared from the cavern. He dark green eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She had loved him, but the side he had displayed this day, no that was not a quality she wished for a husband.

-          Are you ok my beloved? Inuyasha asked and hugged Sango tight to his form.

-          Mmm, I am ok, but Aoji? Sango released her self from her husbands grip and went to the crying young woman.

-          Aoji-chan, please do not cry, Sango begged and put her arms around the shivering form of Aoji. You could not have known, please, do not cry.

-          Sango-chan, why?

-          Some men just see the shell of us, not our souls, explained Sango as best she could.

-          I cannot believe I choose him as my husband, the young one cried.

-          Shhh, you will find your self a new husband one day, a man that will see what your soul is capable of, if he cannot do this, well, you should wait for the next one. OK?

-          Ahh, I understand, sniffled Aoji.

-          Good, now let me introduce you to my husbands brother - this is Lord Sesshoumaru, lord of the Western Lands.

The young woman bowed towards the regal lord and he smiled inwardly. His new little sister had the gift of speech; he gave her that.

-          My Lord, my name is Aoji, the girl said with respect.

-          Good afternoon Aoji-san, I am Sesshoumaru, the lord of the Western Lands. Inuyasha is my brother and ally. His mate is a powerful taijya, a demon slayer, a person with the skills to exterminate both me and my brother, but she chose to take my brother as her mate, and let this be a lesson to us all, the regal lord said as he bowed to the young woman.

-          Yes my lord, the young woman answered and a small smile appeared on her lips.

Inuyasha smirked invisible. "I believe my brother has found his mate too." he thought and shrugged a bit as he and Sango poured some tea into new cups.

8. A word in the hands of a child…

The two women and the child went to get water from the nearby river. They talked about what had happened during the day. Aoji was crushed to find out the awful side in Miroku, who would have thought the former gentle monk was such a shithead. She giggled a bit when she heard the unfamiliar word Sango use to describe Miroku. She asked from where the taijya had got it and Sango told her about Kagome, the miko from the future.

Little Rin listened carefully to the older females talk. She was a curious child, and she was a fast learner. "Shithead… perhaps I could call Jaken-sama that when I think he is behaving badly?" She giggled a bit, thus drawing Sango and Aojis attention to her.

-          Rin-chan, what are you giggling about? asked Sango with a smile.

-          I thought of the word shithead, and I think I will use it to tease Jaken-sama with it, the child said brightly.

Both Sango and Aoji paled a bit and shook their heads.

-          No Rin-chan, it is a bad word, we will not use it either, stammered Aoji.

-          Ooh, ok Aoji-san, I will not use it then, said Rin with a child's innocence. "But I will remember anyway."

-          Good Rin-chan. Let us get the water now and head back to the cave, said Sango, heaving up a bucket of water.

However, she did not get to carry the bucket for a long time. Sesshoumaru had followed them, to make sure Rin did not get herself in trouble, he explained to his younger brother. He took the bucket from a very confused Sango.

-          You should not carry heavy things Sango-sama, he simply stated.

-          Eh…

-          Oh, I should have remembered it Sango-sama, piped Aoji. You are with child. I am so sorry.

-          It is ok, I am not handicapped or anything, I still can do things you know, fumed Sango a bit irritated with the way everybody was treating her.

Sesshoumaru stopped for a moment, sniffing the air.

-          What is it Sesshou-kun? asked Sango.

-          The old miko is coming, she will arrive to the cave soon, he said with his usually cold voice.

-          Ohh, let us hurry back home.

They picked up the pace and

They came to the cave at the same time as Kaede. The old miko smiled wide when she saw Sango and her companions. She climbed down from the horse and greeted her friends.

-          Sango-chan, it is good to see you again. How are you and the pup?

-          We are very well, thank you Kaede-obaasan. How are you?

-          Good, so where is Inuyasha and Miroku-sama? I met him and his lovely wife earlier today in the village.

-          My husband is banned from this domain, said Aoji with sad voice. He behaved very badly towards Inuyasha-sama and Sango-sama, and he is no longer my husband.

-          Oh, what happened? asked Kaede with worry.

-          Let us go inside the cave and have some tea and we shall tell you what happened.

Sesshoumaru took a gentle hold of the old miko's arm and led her up the carved stairs to the cave opening. Sango was a bit surprised about that, but then again, Inuyasha had told her about Sesshoumaru's strange transformation.

Rin jumped around in the cave, teasing the toad demon as he chased her. When he thought he got a hold of the hyperactive child, she whispered a word to him.

{Jaken-sama is a big green shithead}

The toad almost fainted and she was free to wreck havoc with her retainer's nerves again.

Kaede was truly sorry for the former monk; she had her suspicions during their meeting. Mirokus dark blue eyes revealed a lot. And he did not believe her when she told him about the binding. She looked at the young woman, Aoji and felt a small familiar energy within her. The young lady had inherited miko-powers, she was sure of that.

-          What will you do now Aoji-san? asked Kaede. Will you go back to your village?

-           No, I cannot do that, I cannot live in the same village as that… snake, she spat.

-          If you like, my home is open for you. I can sense some miko-powers inside your soul, and if you like, I can train you.

-          What a good idea, said Inuyasha with a warm smile towards the young woman, he felt bad for her. And you will always be welcomed to stay with us too. If you do not want to live in the cave, I can build you a house on the plain.

-          Thank you, thank you very much, Aoji cried.

Aojis green eyes sparkled with happiness and Sesshoumaru smiled inwardly. The young lady was being cared for and he felt a small wave of relief.

9. Is well is working again?

Three month later…

Inuyasha came home from the village, he had picked up some necessary items for the pups birth and he hade paid a visit to Kaede and her new apprentice, Aoji. The former wife of Miroku was doing very well in her studies to be miko. She would take over Kaedes place when the time was ready. He entered the cave and laid the items on the table. He sniffed the air and followed his mates scent to their indoor spring. He saw Sango sit in the hot water with closed eyes.

-          How are you feeling my beloved mate? he asked and undressed him self to join her in the water.

-          Tired I must admit, but other than that, I am just fine, she answered without opening her eyes. She had felt him come into the cave thanks to their connection.

-          I got the things you asked me to get.

-          Good, did you see Kaede-obaasan and Aoji-chan?

-          Yes, they send their greetings to you and our pup, Inuyasha said and slide down behind her and laid his big hands on her rounded stomach.

-          Mmm, I have missed you my mate.

-          I have missed you to my beloved wife, he purred and cupped her breasts with his hands making her moan in desire.

-          Do not tease me; I cannot stand it, begged Sango with a voice filled with passion.

Inuyasha did not answer her; instead, he lifted her up a bit and guided his engorged length inside her throbbing womanhood. He grunted a bit when her inner walls massaged his shaft. He did not think he ever would be able to get used to how it felt when he entered her. He let her rode him until he heard her scream raggedly when her orgasm hit her. He felt her squeeze him tightly and he nipped his mark with his fangs, tasting her powerful blood. Then he turned her so she was slumping against the edge of the hotspring. He began pumping into her soft body from behind, making her moan again. He liked it this way; it felt more natural to him somehow. Inuyashas left hand found its way to her pleasure-centre and he smiled with male pride when she heard her scream once again as she came. He let her inner muscles do their work with his hard member and he spilled himself inside her hot cavern.

-          Are you still tired my mate? Inuyasha asked huskily as he pulled out from her soft body.

-          Mmm, you have a tendency to make me tired somehow, she said with a satisfied voice.

Inuyasha froze when he felt a presence outside the cave.

-          Get ready my mate, we have us some company, he said irritated.

-          Who?

-          Kaede, Aoji, and my brother I believe.

-          Ok, I will make us all some tea ok?

-          Ok, hurry up and get dressed.

Inuyasha took care of himself with high speed, his red armour in place when he walked out of the cave. Sango dried her body with a big towel, dressed her self in a light blue kimono, and went to the cooking area to make some tea for the arriving guests.

Inuyasha greeted the small group and showed them inside the cave.

-          I think we can have some trouble ahead of us, said Kaede.

-          What do you mean obaasan? Sango asked.

-          Both Aoji and I felt a ripple in the Inuyasha forest today, right after Inu-chan went back home.

-          What does that mean? wondered Sango.

-          I believe that the magic well is working again, answered the chilly voice of Sesshoumaru.

Inuyasha looked at his brother, it was not like him to take interest with the well, so why was he here now?

-          Sesshou-kun, why do you take such interest in this? Inuyasha looked at his older brother.

-          Because there was a dark wave in the energy, and it was directed towards you Inu-chan, who ever is using the well have some hatred towards you, Sesshoumaru answered.

Sango paled a bit. "Can it be Kagome-chan? Could she have changed her mind and be coming back to take Inuyasha from me?" Her stomach turned itself into a hard knot of insecurity.

-          My mate, what is it? asked a worried Inuyasha.

-          What if it is Kagome? Maybe she wants you to be with her? Sango cried with low voice.

-          Well, she cannot have me, I belong to you as you belong to me, we are Mates and we are married, said Inuyasha and pulled his mate into his strong embrace. No one will ever take me away from you, remember that my beloved.

-          But…

-          No buts my beloved. Nothing can tare me away from you and our pup, understand!

Sango nodded and melted into her husband's warm arms.

-          Inu-chan, is it ok if Rin can stay with you in the cave? asked Sesshoumaru suddenly.

-          Of course, why?

-          Jaken and I will take up place in the hut you built on the plain. I have a bad feeling about this my little brother, a very bad feeling.

-          Of course, is there anything you need? asked Inuyasha.

-          No, we will be ok. Come Jaken.

-          Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama, said the little toad and followed his master to the little hut outside the cave.

Sango stirred in Inuyashas arms; she did not like the situation. Not one bit.
