InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Ninja ❯ Finale ( Chapter 26 )

CHAPTER 26: Finale

 

The two lovers bathed in the hot spring before heading back to camp, Kai washing his hair for him loving the way it felt in her hands. She scratched his scalp gently sending little tingles down his spine. “If you keep doing that, we won't be leaving here for awhile” he said, starting to get aroused from this simple touching.

 

She giggled and nipped the tip of his pointed ear, saying huskily “Maybe I don't want to leave yet.” Sesshoumaru grinned and, turning around to face her, grabbed her lips with his. They were at the springs for another hour before finally leaving. Kai a bit sore but extremely happy.

 

Inuyasha watched the two of them as they entered the village. “Where the hell have you guys been?” he asked grouchily “We're getting ready to go after more shards and you guys just disappear.” Suddenly Inuyasha noticed Kai's face get extremely red he looked up to his brother questionably, his eyes widening at the sight of the red mark on the side of his brother's neck.

 

Sesshoumaru, as usual, let none of his emotions escape his gold eyes as he looked directly back at his brother, laughing internally at the look on Inuyasha's face. “Yes, you have a problem?” he asked.

 

“N…no, no problem”, he stammered out surprised that Sesshoumaru had a mark at all. He was sure Kai had one but couldn't see it because of the high collar on her top. I didn't know humans could leave a mating mark he thought, thinking about himself and Kagome. They had not mated yet because he wasn't sure how to approach the topic. Perhaps a little advice from my big brother might be helpful. He decided to ask Sesshoumaru about it later when he could get him privately.

 

They all gathered outside Kaede's hut later that day and began the journey to collect the rest of the jewel.

Years later, the jewel almost complete, they were still together. They only had two more shards to retrieve. Inuyasha was arguing with Kagome about staying back while she went to see Kouga when Jaken ran to them very excited.

 

“Miroku says you should come, it's happening”, he bounced up and down, waving his staff of two heads about almost connecting with Inuyasha's temple in his exuberance

 

“Really” squealed Kagome happily, “I'll get the others.” She took off at high speed to find Sango, Shippo and Rin.

 

Shippo and Rin were hanging out by the village store with their friends like any typical teenagers anywhere, Shippo's arm around Rin's shoulders. Their childhood friendship had turned into something more, aggravating the overly protective lord of the west. Rin knew he would not interfere though, her adopted father always wanting her to be happy and she was with Shippo. They watched as Kagome ran to them her face flushed with excitement.

 

“Come on you two! Rin, you're about to be a sister.” Kagome didn't have to tell them twice, Rin bounced up and down and, jumping on Shippo's back, they ran to her parents hut.

 

Kagome found Sango practicing her fighting forms with one of the men of the village who had wanted to learn. Although Kagome had wished that Sango and Miroku would have gotten together, she saw how utterly happy Sango was with Kento and wished them well in her heart. She told Sango the news and the two young women ran back to the village after Sango deposited a quick kiss on Kento's lips.

 

Kagome saw her mate already there in the main room with his brother, trying to calm the frantic demon lord. “She is in pain, do something Miroku” yelled an upset and aggravated Sesshoumaru into the room off to the side grabbing his brother's shoulder hard as he doubled over.

 

Normally everyone would have jumped to do as he commanded with the tone of voice he had just used but they also knew there was not much they could do about this, nature had to take her course. Sesshoumaru was feeling the birthing pains of Kai and had just now gained a healthy respect for the females of the species.

 

To this day the only other male Sesshoumaru would let near his mate was Miroku. The two of them had become closer than friends because of the bond they had shared those many years ago with Kai.

 

“It won't be long now Sesshoumaru, have patience” replied Miroku from the small room, not a bit of fear showing in his voice.

 

Miroku had learned a lot about medicine over the years, becoming the village doctor. He even had Kagome bring books from her time so he could help his patients with more modern techniques. That combined with his strong spiritual abilities made him the most sought after doctor in the area. Miroku had no end of female and male “friends” thanks to this; much to his delight.

 

Suddenly a small cry was heard, getting louder and stronger. “It's a girl” yelled out Miroku happily.

 

He was always astounded at the birth of a child and still wanted one or more of his own. He just hadn't found the right person to settle his roaming ways as of yet. Miroku looked at Kai who was again trying to push. “Not done yet are we?” he asked grinning from ear to ear.

 

“No, I guess not” Kai returned sarcastically. “Wipe that smile off your face and help me” she said between grunts.

 

Miroku wrapped the squirming child in a blanket and laid her on the bed beside her mother as he went to aid in helping the other child enter the world.

 

“What's going on in there?” growled Sesshoumaru, he was getting angry and frustrated that this was taking so long. He was also worried but he would not let that show.

 

“Shit Sesshoumaru, pups come when they want to, take it easy, you're making everyone nervous” chided Inuyasha also worried. Miroku had said the child was a girl and they had all heard her cry, why isn't Miroku letting us in?

 

Everyone gave a sigh of relief and surprise when they heard another cry as strong as the first. They all gathered by the door of the room waiting for Miroku to tell them it was ok to enter.

 

After what seemed an eternity Miroku said “Ok, you guys can come in, but only for a little while.”

 

When they entered the room Sesshoumaru went to Kai's side first as Miroku gave him a huge grin and moved to let the others see as well. Kai was holding two girls, their faces identical with little quarter moons gracing each of their foreheads. The only differences between them being that one had white hair and cute little ears atop her head. The other, hair the color of her mothers, had a little fluffy tail. They both had gold eyes.

 

Sesshoumaru was at first afraid to touch them for fear they would break, but Kai pushed the infants into his arm smiling. He was astounded and in complete awe at the two little bundles looking up at him. “I have two daughters” he said proudly.

 

“What are you going to name them” asked Rin happily, wiggling her fingers in front of her sister's faces. They cooed and reached their little hands towards hers.

 

“Tsume and Kiba” he replied.

 

“Claw and Fang?” questioned Kagome.

 

“That's appropriate” returned Inuyasha thinking of what his brother's and his own name meant.

 

“Which is which” laughed Sango.

 

Kai took the little girl with the tail and said “This one is Kiba.” Kai nuzzled the squirming infant smelling the lovely baby smell that was coming off of her. Kiba began to fuss and Kai brought the child to her breast which immediately began to suckle. Her sister, not to be outdone, wailed out to have the other breast. Sesshoumaru gave Kai the other girl and helped her latch on to the nipple. He then stroked his hand down her cheek, leaned in and gave her a kiss.

 

Inuyasha was surprised his brother was showing this much emotion in front of everyone. Being a dad must make you a little soft in the head.

 

He had wanted to wait to have pups of his own until after all the jewel shards were collected. He sighed knowing now he would never hear the end of this from Kagome since the jewel was so close to being completed and she had been bugging him about it since Kai had gotten pregnant. He looked over to his mate who was making googly eyes at the twins and chatting away to Kai, Sango beside her. Thanks a lot Sesshoumaru he thought as he grinned at his brother's ecstatic face.

 

Sesshoumaru caught him grinning and just shrugged his shoulders, smiling proudly, at the moment not caring who knew how happy he was.

 

“Kami help the boys of the village” said Shippo laughing. He stopped his joviality when he saw Sesshoumaru give him a pointed look. Yikes! Should have kept my mouth shut.
