Chapter 6: If You Knew


I had fallen asleep and when I had woken up I found myself eye to eye, face to face with a young girl with bright eyes and an even brighter smile. She looked familar, I had seen her with Sesshomaru and Jaken before. She wore an average yukata and had her sides pulled up in a pony tail atop her head. It seemed my brother wasn't as much a human hater as he claimed to be.

She carefully leaned back so that she was sitting on her haunches and gave me a toothy smile.

"You're awake! Sesshomaru-sama and the funny looking doctor said you would wake up but Rin was worried!"

"Rin, is that your name?"

"Yes! I'm Rin and your Sesshomaru-sama's little brother!"

"Who was this doctor and what did he do and say?"

"He was really tall and chubby and he had ears like yours! He had a mask over his eyes like this," said Rin as she made circles with her thumbs and pointer finger and put them over her eyes. A Tannuki! (Relative of the racoon)

"He played with you hands and tummy and then said your pups were fine and gave Sesshomaru-sama some medicine for you. Rin asked if I could guard you and he nodded!"

This child was way too excited. God help me if I have more than one like her.

I felt movement as my children fought for space inside of me. I knew that I was deffinately having atleast three. It had nothing to do with "mothers intuition" and everything to do with their movements. I would feel anywhere to two or three movements at once. They were active and that told me that they were healthy.

I sat and looked around. I was in a large, very well decorated room. It reminded me of the place I grew up in. I sat in a large comfortable bed with many blankets and pillows and tied at the head and end of the bed were white curtains. Expensive dressers, a long mirror and a dressing table adorned with containers of various shapes and sizes included some of the furniture that filled the room, chairs and sofas were here and there as well.

"Jaken told Rin that this room belonged to a human princess."

It occurred to me now that this room did look familiar, it had been a room I had seen a few times in my life. It was my mother's room when she visited my father. We were in one of my father's many homes. I slid my legs over the side of the bed and realized I wasn't wearing my usual red outfit but a soft ivory colored kimono and Hakama. My extended stomach was very noticeable.

"Can Rin feel?"

What was up with everyone wanting to touch and feel?! I looked at her for a moment and then I grinned and nodded, "C'mere imp."

She hopped off the bed and ran around to face me. Her jumping off the bed had caused me to bounce and now the pups within decided to do some bouncing of their own. I took Rin's hand and placed it where you could feel the most movement.

"Wow! Rin feels them moving! When will they be able to come out and play with Rin?"

Before I could answer a calm and clear voice replied, "In five or six months."

I watched as Sesshomaru entered the room and stood near us, watching Rin pout at the answer; her hand still in place on my stomach.

"But I'm five months along and Kaede,"

"Nine months is how long it takes for a human to develop. Demons are far more complicated most demon pregnancies last eleven months. Most hanyou pregnancies vary. I believe your mother gave birth to you a day or two before she hit ten months, or that's what my mother told me."

I suddenly felt very tired and shocked. It must have shown because I heard him tell Rin that his lizard like creatures needed tending to. I heard he door click shut and then felt him standing there, a few feet in front of me. I stared at the floor and tried to ignore the weight of his stare.

"Does a month or two more bother you?"

When he said it I felt dumb for the fact that I had reacted in such a way. It was kind of funny.

"You carry three or four moving pups for ten or eleven months and deal with the stares, backaches, constant bathroom trips, mood swings, inability to be graceful, swollen feet and hormones and then we'll talk. Second thought, how about we do just that! We'll need more than one litter to continue our line so you get to be the carries the next time!"

"The doctor said not to get excited, its bad for you and the pups."

I glared at him and pushed up off the bed into a standing position and walked past him. He followed a few feet until I reached the bathroom; or the room that contained the chamber pot, and closed the door in his face. I relieved my aching bladder and then cleaned my hands. I opened the door and found Sesshomaru standing there with his usual emotionless expression in place. He faced away from me and began walking down the hall. He stopped and turned around to look at me. I got the message loud and clear; "follow".

So I did, at a slower pace. He walked with a strong confident pace while I waddled after him. My once confident stride gone, making me now resemble a goofy kabuki actor.

He turned into a room and upon following after him I had entered a dining room area with a grand table stacked with plates of food. He sat at the head of the table and looked pointedly at me. I looked and saw that there were no cushions on the floor except for a large pile to the right of him. I waddled over and slowly settled myself comfortably. I sniffed cautiously to make sure nothing would make me ill and then I reached for the nearest item. We ate in silence and the few times I would glance in his direction he would be sitting there, watching me as I ate with an indifferent look upon his face. I would finish one item and when I looked up another full bowl or plate would be sitting where I had sat my last empty bowl or plate. I knew it had to have been him but how he did it without a sound or I noticing his movement was mind boggling. Perhaps I was so into eating that I hadn't noticed.

When I had ate my fill I leaned back and rested a bit to allow my stomach and food settle. When a few minutes had passed I heard the rustle of clothing and then a pale arm with well manicured nails was thrust in front of me. I followed the path of the hand to wrist, arm, shoulder and finally that emotionless face. I looked at the hand once again before grasping it. Once my hand was in his he helped to pull me into a standing position.

"Let's go for a walk."

A man of few words...I hated that!

We left the building and walked out into the vast yard with its large koi ponds, lovely wisterias, weeping willows and Sakura trees. Many flowers covered the ground with an occasional wooden pagoda where you could retreat from the sun.

As we walked memories from my childhood surfaced and I recalled running through the grass and getting scolded by the gardener for trampling his flowers that he tended with care, patience and endless hours. Climbing and hiding in the tress, trying to bare handedly catch koi, which ended with me falling into the pond, I also remember playing with a red ball. A rare gift from my father who I can't remember ever meeting, though I always loved the ball.

Suddenly the idea hit me. I knelt and took a deep sniff. I walked over the old bridge that crossed the largest koi pond and continued to sniff and search. I heard Sesshomaru's footsteps as he followed at a distance. I stopped when I reached a large group of Iris' and reached carefully into them, pulling out a dingy dirt and muck covered sphere shaped object. I walked over to the koi pond and gingerly dipped it into the water. Once all the muck and dirt was off I tossed it into the air and caught it. My smile must have been huge because I could feel my cheek muscles tighten. I trotted over to the bridge and bounced it a few times, grinning even more when I saw that it bounced just as it had when I was little, though it practically fit in the palm of my hand now. When I had been little it nearly filled my arms.

"What is that decrepid thing?"

"It's my ball," at his questioning look I elaborated, "I used to play with it out here in the yard."

"What use does it have now?"

I had the urge to bounce it against his thick skull and then say, "stress reliever". Instead I humored him.

"I could give it to the pups."

"We could buy them new ones."

The urge to play dodge ball with his head was growing.

"It has memories," before he could respond I walked past him.

I found myself walking to a high porch and oddly enough I found myself starring at a smiling Rin.

"Can Rin play?"

I grinned and nodded. She took a hop off the porch and landed in the grass. She smiled and cheered as she ran a few feet away and then turned to face me with arms wide open.

"Rin's ready!"

I tossed her the ball and she caught it happily singing that she had caught it before she threw it back to me. It was enjoyable and kept us both entertained. Eventually I became tired and said that I was going to rest my eyes. When I woke up I was laying on the wooden porch with a pillow beneath my head and a small blanket covering my body. I was surprised to find Rin's small body under the blanket and cuddled against me and my extended stomach. I watched her sleep and was amazed to see the serene expression on her face.

"Is she a nusciance?"

I glanced up and saw Sesshomaru watching the two of us, "No, I'm just amazed she can be so quiet."

"If you ask her she'll listen."

"But that's not natural. Kids are supposed to be loud, obnoxious and overactive."

He quietly nodded and continued to observe us before speaking, "Dinner is prepared."

I sat up and gently shook Rin's shoulder and watched as she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes with her tiny fisted hands.

"It's chow time shrimp."

"Yay! Food! Food! Come eat with Rin, come eat with Rin! Please?"

I sat up and stretched before I struggled into a standing position. Once I was standing Rin took my hand and lead me into the dining room. Sesshomaru stood at the head of the table and motioned to the same set of pillows I had sat on when I had eaten that afternoon. I sat down and found plates pushed in my direction from both Sesshomaru and Rin, who had taken a seat beside me.

I noticed that each in their own way was making sure that both I and the pups were cared for. I also began to notice how much the two had in common. Both were attention deprived and lonely. Rin acted cheerful to hide it and Sesshomaru hid it behind a mask of indifference, both so alike and yet so different. Both had found their missing piece in each other. She had managed to soften a few of his rough edges.
When we had eaten our fill he had once again rested a few minutes before beckoning me to follow and of course Rin did as well. We walked around the now dark and lantern lit yard. I watched as Rin chased the fireflies occasionally yelping with surprise and happiness when she caught one. It brought back memories of my own childhood spent catching fireflies in this very yard and couldn't help but smile.

After an hour we wondered back inside and Sesshomaru took out a "Go" board. He set it up and we played for a while before I once again grew tired and were escorted to bed, the Go board left as it was on the table. I was led into my room and to my bed and helped out of my outer robes before I lay down on the soft blankets. I felt someone pull the blankets up and over my body before I began to drift off. I heard my door softly click shut and as I fell into a deep sleep I felt myself wondering just who my brother was and what I had yet to learn about him.

To Be Continued...


Guess what!

I finally got my laptop! Guess what that means!

More updates! Not too many though. My goal is to send off a one of my original stories to a publisher by 2007. Wish me luck!
