“Jaken, set this to paper,” Sesshoumaru commanded to the kneeling frog who waited patiently with a brush and ink. “I, Lord Sesshoumaru.”

 

“I, Lord Sesshoumaru.” Jaken repeated back.

 

“Have officially taken Lady Akanesuji of the Inu clan as my first wife and have fulfilled the contract between our families.”

 

“between our families...”

 

“Any wedding gifts may be left at the castle.”

 

“At the castle.”

 

“As we are both traveling for the summer.” Sesshoumaru added. Akanesuji nodded. No one needed to know that they would be splitting up, each to do their own thing. They would come back in the winter and excuse the court again, keeping the palace a safe and accepting place for Rin. “Now send out copies to the usual list Jaken.”

 

“I am sure my mother will just die!” Akanesuji exclaimed. “She will be so irritated that she missed everything.” Sesshoumaru arched an eyebrow.

 

“Jaken, send her mother's last,” the lord said. “She should enjoy being the last to know.”

 

“Oh Sesshoumaru. I so love you,” the sitting lady said, tying a knot in her embroidery thread. Rin waited patiently for her to set her work down before crawling over to her and climbing into her lap. She started to pet her hair, meaning that she wanted to talk about something important to her. “What is it Rin?” Akanesuji asked, pushing the embroidery farther away.

 

“When will I get a baby brother?”

 

The room went silent. No one had expected this question so soon. Akanesuji pulled her tight and brushed her hair back around an ear. “You know we are youkai, yes?”

 

Rin nodded.

 

“And that we can live for a very, very long time?”

 

Rin nodded again.

 

“It takes a long time for a baby to grow in my belly, so you will be my only little girl for a long, long time.”

 

“I want a baby brother.”

 

“Do you want me to go pluck you one from the fields Rin? I am sure I can find you a little boy around her somewhere.”

 

Rin squinted her eyes. “That is not funny Akanesuji. I want a fluffy baby brother I can play fetch with. I don't want a plain old boy. They are mean and nasty and like to pull my hair.”

 

“Oh I see,” said the giggling youkai. “You want a youkai puppy.” The little girl nodded and bit her bottom lip. Looking up to Sesshoumaru, Akanesuji couldn't help but notice he had turned away and was looking out to the hallway. She would have to face this one on her own. “I hate to tell you Rin, but our baby will look just like a little boy or a little girl most of the time. He will pull your hair and ruin your kites, just like lord Sesshoumaru did to me when he was a boy. He may even bite you or pee on your leg. I am afraid, boys will be boys.”

 

Sesshoumaru turned around quickly and gave a disapproving look. The last statements about biting and peeing were uncalled for, even though he had peed on her kite once to make the rice paper break.

 

“How about a sister? I would like a sister.”

 

“Rin. I can't make you a sister any time soon. It just doesn't work that way for me.”

 

“Did you know that Inuyasha has a kitsune? Even he has a fuzzy baby brother,” the little impatient girl added.

 

“That kitsune is not our baby brother.” Sesshoumaru stated flatly.

 

“That reminds me, my love. When are you going to tell your brother about us?” Akanesuji asked. “Once our baby is born, he will no longer be your heir.” She had forgotten Rin was still in her lap and within hearing distance.

 

“He will still be heir if a girl is born.”

 

“It's not a girl.” Akanesuji said.

 

“How do you know?”

 

“I just do.”

 

“Another thing your mother told you?”

 

“No.”

 

“I'm going to have a baby brother!” Rin squealed and clapped her hands.

 

“Rin. Please don't interrupt.” Turning to Sesshoumaru, she explained. “I did a little spell to find out. He's a little boy with yellow eyes. He's going to have a little moon on his forehead and red stripes.”

 

Sesshoumaru beamed. He was the proudest man in the land. “I shall have to make it a point to run into my brother some time this summer. I am sure he will want to congratulate me.”

 

“Be nice my love. Maybe it is time to forgive your brother for everything between you.”

 

“I'm afraid that will never happen Akanesuji. He is an ill tempered, hot headed little brat. Even now he cannot control his temper.”

 

“And you can?....oh wait a minute,” she said in all sarcasm, “you're the king of gentle demeanors and decorum. You never, ever, get mad.”

 

Sesshoumaru lifted a single eyebrow and went back to reciting letters for the spring court session, ignoring her last statement all together. Rin and Akanesuji discussed for some time the fine details of youkai babies and the younger finally decided that being an only child for a while meant that she would get all the attention. When Akanesuji had put it that way, it just didn't seem such a bad idea.
