Chapter 3
And they shall be brothers/cousins
My family, myself, Rin and the palace servants continued to live in the cave as our temporary Den until the new palace is completed, in about another month or so. Rin took her mates death just as hard as I did when I told her. She quietly sobbed on my shoulder for sometime. When she had finished, she asked to see where he was. I took her to see his grave and told her the story, which will also be told to her pup, of his bravery. She cried a bit more, and then turned to me saying, "I will not be frightened any longer. I know that he will be watching over me until the day comes where I will be reunited with him once more.
It has been three months now, since that horrible battle took place. The palace has been completed for about a month. I had the new location built close to my brother's grave sight. That way Rin is able to visit as much as she likes. She's held true to her word so far about not being frightened, but sometimes I still hear her sometimes at night, sobbing quietly to herself. They say that time heals a wounded heart. I know its very hard for her now, but I believe that when her pup is borne, her pain might lesson some what as she gazes on to what they have created from their love.
*One month later*
I am walking the halls of my palace now, cradling my infant son to my chest. He has finally stopped whimpering. An hour or so ago I pulled him from his mother's breast, so she could assist in the birthing of her pup as she had helped her, back at the cave. I finally reached Rin's chamber door. I can hear the soft crying of a newborn. I enter quietly and made my way to the bedside. The servants pick up and left the room. My mate stood by my side and held my hand, I gazed at the newborn in Rins arms. It's a boy as well. I marveled at the look of him. His facial features were as of my brothers. He has one crimson blood streak present on cheek, a half moon crest in the center of his forehead. His eyes are the same. A brilliant golden amber. His hair was not all white though. It had a few ebony steaks through out it. He looks similar to my son. Only Koru has two stripes on his cheeks with all white hair like me.
I hear Rin tell me she has named her pup. InuShoji. We smile at her, and then excuse our selves out of the room. It's late into the night now. My mate and son are ready for bed. I tuck them into the futon, kissing them gently each on the forehead. But I am not ready for sleep yet. I wait until her breathing evens out before I slip out the opened window.
I made my way back to the cliff I was perched at those four months ago. I stared into the moonless night and laughed softly to myself. I was so caught up in my thoughts, I didn't hear anyone approaching me until she gently placed her small hand onto my shoulder.
"Why are you out of bed?" I questioned her softly.
Her reply was simple. "Why are you?"
"Just thinking about my life up to this point." I said, turning to face her.
"Are you regretting what you have done, my love?"
"Never." I said as I bent my head to capture her lips with mine. When we parted, I continued, "I'm just glad that that damn jewel is gone for good for good now."
"As am I, my love." She whispered into my ear while stroking my streaked cheek. We stood under the stars and heaven for I don't know how long. No. I don't regret any of the choices I have made.
***Flashback***
When I swallowed the jewel to grant my wish, I made sure my heart, mind and soul would remain as they are now. When the change was completed, we traveled to Sesshomaru's realm, which is also my realm. He was shocked as all get out at first, but that was only for a brief second, and I'm sure I was the only one who noticed it.
"Welcome home brother." He said in a smooth as silk voice. He took a step closer to Kagome, she hid behind me.
"I take it that you have made this miko your mate now hn." I nod my head, still not quite sure if it was a good idea coming here or not. Judging by the look on everyone else's faces, they were feeling the same.
"And she is with pup I see. This is good." He looked over the rest of our group and called couple of servants over to him.
"Kizna. Please see to it that Inuyasha and his mate have a chamber with a bathing room. Then make sure they have everything they will need. Azuma.you are to do the same with the rest of the group. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Lord." They relied.
"Come brother, we have much to discuss."
I looked over at Kagome who had the same wide eyed expression on her face as I did. She just shrugged her shoulders and told me to follow him. We entered into his office silently. He then proceeded to tell me his spies have informed him that Naraku was on the move towards their lands, seeking the Shikon no Tama. He said that he had already sent word to the other Dog Clans and to a Wolf tribe to help aid us.
Mean while, the group was split. Kizna took Kagome to our room. She drew a bath for her and told her to relax. Shippou stayed with her so she wouldn't be lonely till I got back. Azuma, took Sango and Miroku to the chambers accros from ours. She put in an extra futon since the two were not mated.
When Kagome got out of the tub to get ready for bed, there came a knock at the door. She put on the kimono on that Kizna brought in and answered the door.
It was Rin. Kagome was so happy to see her little friend. No correction, she was not so little any more. The two of them stayed up late into the night talking. Rin had told Kagome about how Sesshomaru-sama had asked her to be his mate and now she too was pregnant.
***End of Flashback***
"Where is Koru?" I asked.
"Shippou is watching over him so that Sango can care for Miroku while his wounds are still healing. Why?"
"Because I just want to sit here with you in my arms for now." I said, nuzzling my nose into her hair. I heard her sigh in contemptment .
"Me too." She replied as her eyes closed and her breath evened out.
I looked to the stars and sighed myself.
'I hope you are well my brother.' I thought to myself as I saw a star twinkling more brightly then the others.
I will not say the Day is done, nor bid the stars farewell.
