Chapter 20: Ojisama…

 

~*~ Castle of the western lord ~*~

 

“Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaruuuuuuuuuuuu!!!” Jaken scrambled through the corridors of the castle to the chamber that Sesshomaru used as his study. He opened the door to the room and ran inside before stopping and panting heavily trying to catch his breath.

 

Sesshomaru looked up from his books of ancient history, a mild irritation crossing his face. He studied the toad servant from the corner of his eye. Although Jaken proved to very valuable servant, loyal and resourceful in taking care of only the household and Rin and at the same time being a useful informant but his obnoxious behavior annoyed him sometimes. The hikigaeru didn't even have the basic courtesy to knock and ask for his permission before entering his room!

 

“What is it Jaken?” He turned his golden eyes towards his servant. “You better have some valid explanation for your intrusion or else…” He gave him cold glare, certainly promising death or at the least severe torture for his insolence.

 

Jaken took a few steps back, numerous sweat drops appearing on his face as he trembled under the cold glare of his lord. He knew how ruthless Sesshomaru could be and how his lord hated when some disturbed him during his study… except for maybe Rin to who had unbounded freedom around the castle.

 

“Ah…ah… My lord Sesshomaru y-your servant apologizes for his i-intrusion… b-but it was an extremely important m-matter… s-something you will be v-very m-much interested to h-hear.” He stuttered.

 

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. “Then speak.”

 

“Yes, yes, it's about your half breed brother Inuyasha, sire…”

 

“What about him?” Sesshomaru asked slightly interested in what the toad had to say. A few days ago he had asked Jaken to give him every possible information about Inuyasha, after he had discovered that Inuyasha was pregnant and had fulfilled his part of the prophecy. He was eager to meet the one meant to destroy the ultimate evil.

 

Jaken sighed, relived at Sesshomaru's interest before quickly continuing. “My sources tell me that Inuyasha has given birth to twins, my lord. It occurred over three weeks ago.”

 

“Twins?” Sesshomaru asked a bit surprised.

 

“Hai my lord, a boy and girl.”

 

“Hmmm…. Interesting.”

 

The prophecy had spoken of `a' powerful force. Sesshomaru thought it would be one person however Inuyasha seemed to have given birth to two…

 

`Two pups….hmmm… maybe I should pay a visit to them… after all they are of the inu family and that makes them prince and princess to the inuyoukai clan.' He thought.

 

“Jaken?”

 

“Yes my lord.” Jaken straightened, waiting for his master's order.

 

“Make preparations, we will be visiting my dear brother and that ookami prince.”

 

“Where are you going Sesshomaru-sama?” Rin asked peeping inside the room from the partly opened door.

 

Jaken frowned, how the girl always managed to pop in whenever Sesshomaru planned for a journey always amazed him. “Rin wants to go too.”

 

“Rin.” Sesshomaru gaze softened as he looked at the small ningen child and beckoned her to enter the study. Rin immediately ran into the room plopping herself on a chair beside Sesshomaru and looked up at him big questioning eyes. “I am going to visit Inuyasha…. and you are not coming with me this time.”

 

“No!” Rin pouted. “Rin wants to visit Inuyasha-ojisan too…” She said.

 

“No Rin you must….” But before Sesshomaru could finish his sentence Rin began to sniffle, fat tear forming in her innocent eyes. “You never take me anywhere, Sesshomaru-sama, I am so bored living here.” A tear rolled down her cheek. “I want to go with Sesshy-sama… please…..” Two more fat tears followed.

 

Sesshomaru groaned inwardly though his cold exterior showed nothing. This girl was as stubborn as ever, perhaps living with him was having its effect. He snorted. “All right Rin… you may come with us, Jaken?”

 

“Hai my lord.” Jaken grumbled. He so much wanted to reprimand the filthy human for her audacity but he had already risked Sesshomaru's wrath by entering his room unannounced and did not want to be the cause of his lord's vexation anymore. Therefore for once he chose to stay silent…. But not for long…

 

“Rin is to travel with us and bring Ah-Un too, now go.”

 

“But my lord… do you think it is wise to take this weak ningen into other ookami territory?” Jaken asked in a slightly irritated voice.

 

“Jaken! Never refer to Rin as `weak ningen' or any such words. She has a name and you are to use it.” Sesshomaru growled causing Rin giggle from her place. She liked to see the toad getting rebuked by her `otousan'. Yes…. Otousan… that's what Lord Sesshomaru was to her now. The cold-hearted lord had always been warm to her. He saved her life, gave her a home and cared for her and even put up with her childish whims… sometimes. She giggled again. She knew perfectly well that although Sesshomaru didn't show, he absolutely hated to see her cry and so this formed her ultimate weapon whenever she wanted anything… especially when she wanted to go to journeys with him.

 

Sesshomaru looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

 

“But my lord I was just ….ahhhhhh!” Before Jaken could finish his sentence he found himself being flung across the room and into the wall with such a force that a wide crack formed in it.

 

“Do you dare to question my decision Jaken?” Sesshomaru growled loudly giving him another deathly glare causing the toad to sweat drop heavily as he stuttered. “No! no my lord p-please forgive m-me… I … I'll see to the preparation i-immediately.” He ran from the room as fast as his legs would take him…

 

Sesshomaru smirked before turning to the small human child beside him. “Come Rin let's get ready for the visit.”

 

“Hai!”

 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

 

Kouga sat on his couch bouncing a squiggling Ryu on his lap, as he watched Inuyasha trying to feed Hikari some solid food. They had decided yesterday that the pups were old enough to be weaned and to be fed solids. Ryu had gladly accepted this new diet, however Hikari posed a big problem. She was most certainly not satisfied with the new arrangements and refused to take meat or any other food and cried buckets trying to get her meal from her mother. Inuyasha seemed to melt a bit by her crying and wanted to feed her but Kouga remained firm. So now Inuyasha sat before him on the futon, the struggling pup on her lap trying push the some meat and rice down her throat as she fussed, cried and growled.

 

Kouga played with Ryu as he pondered over the event of the last few days. The pups were growing rather quickly. They had learned more than `mama' and `papa' in a few days. Everybody got their new names by the beginning of fourth week. Miroku became `miku', Sango `sano', Kagome `kame' and Yuuka well… In spite of her million attempts to make them call me `grandma' or at least `gamma' the only word she got out of them was `kuka'. She looked extremely irritated by her new name but no matter what she did, all she got were more giggles and more `kuka's. At last she gave up and settled with the pups calling her that.

 

`That's what she gets for trying to force the weird fashion on my pups.'

 

Yamato on the other hand surprisingly got the pups to call him `odii' something close to ojii. How he did it was still a very big mystery to Yuuka.

 

The pups had even begun walking now. The couple was pretty surprised when one day Hikari and Ryu sneaked out of their room making their way to the council room where Kouga sat discussing matters with the elders. They entered the room followed by a huffing and yelling Inuyasha. Before she could grab them Ryu had suddenly stood up staggering to their papa to everybody's surprise. Soon Hikari followed her brother's `footsteps' and after a few attempts manage to walk a few steps. Inuyasha forgot her yelling at once and ran to hug them while Yamato and Yuuka beamed at their grandchildren. Kouga was truly speechless as he too rose to capture his family in a group hug laughing with joy. So now they had two extremely energetic kids running here and there all over the cave. They were very mischievous as well, especially Ryu who seemed to be the mastermind behind all their mischief. Quick and very intelligent his main target was Kagome. They were often seen playing pranks or irritating her, driving her mad. Once they had taken all her books and used the pages to make paper boats to play in their spring before they were found feasting on her chocolates, which they had recovered from her bag after destroying half of her things. Kagome yelled at them for an hour when she came in to find her room in a total mess with wrapper and papers strewn all over the place.

 

Kouga smiled. The last week brought him more joy than he had ever felt in his life. His pups were strong although they were yet to show any power. Inuyasha was a bit worried as to how they were going to kill Naraku but he knew and felt the pups' power radiating from their being. He knew they would be able to face Naraku as and when the time came.

 

Kouga sighed. Tomorrow was the new moon, the month was already up which meant Inuyasha would be back to his old self after tomorrow or so Yuuka had guessed. This last week had been simply amazing. After their little trip to the spring in the forest their relationship has improved greatly. Kagome's `baby sitting' idea proved to be a great boon to them as it often gave them time to have some `private time' for themselves. Kouga decided he liked this form of puppy a bit more than his other…. Oh no… he loved his puppy very much… it was just that this form was so soft and he got to be `seme' all the time. However Inuyasha's happiness was what mattered to him and as long as he had his puppy beside him to share all his days he didn't mind what form he was in. He looked at his doggy laughing at their daughter's antics. Unlike during other new moon days Inuyasha was not grumpy or snappish…no he looked quite happy. Perhaps getting back to her old self chased her bad moods away.

 

A sudden knock on the door brought Kouga out of his thought.

 

“Papa, knock, knock.” Ryu said tapping his tiny hand on Kouga's chest, bouncing on his lap.

 

“Yeah, yeah, short stuff I heard it too.” Kouga smiled ruffling Ryu's hair making him giggle. “Let's see who is there.” Ryu immediately put his arms around Kouga as he turned to get up and made his way through the front room to the main door.

 

“Kouga… Kouga…” Ginta's voice came from outside the door.

 

He opened the door to find Ginta and Hakkaku jumping up and down; a very worried expression on their face.

 

“What is it?” Kouga asked concerned by their attitude. Ryu slipped off Kouga's' arms staring up with large questioning eyes at the two ookami.

 

“It's…. it's Sesshomaru. He's heading this way.” Ginta said.

 

`What is he doing here?' Kouga thought.

 

“Yes…yes and boss he also has that toad, the human girl and the beast with him… and…hey Kouga wait for us.” Hakkaku called before Ginta and he followed him.

 

Kouga was already off towards entrance leaving a very confused Ryu behind… `Who's se…sess…sessho… oh whatever.'

 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Kouga reached the entrance to find Sesshomaru and his group waiting in front of it. “Lord Sesshomaru… what brings you here?” He asked before taking sideways glance, mildly curious, at the human girl sitting on top of the beast. `I wonder what a ningen child is doing with him?'

 

“I'm here to visit Inuyasha and my oi and mei, I hear they were born a few weeks ago.” Sesshomaru said.

 

“Hai… they were…” Kouga said his head held high. “Now, if you would follow me.”

 

Rin had slipped off to stand by the demon lord.

 

Sesshomaru turned to his servant who was holding the reigns of Ah-Un. “Jaken look after Ah-Un.”

 

“But…” Jaken didn't want to be left out with the beast.

 

“Do as I said.” Sesshomaru growled making the toad jump.

 

“H-hai my lord.”

 

“Rin follow me.” Sesshomaru said looking at the girl standing beside him.

 

Kouga turned to see Ginta and Hakkaku reach the entrance rather slowly than usual. “Take care of the beast and the toad.” He said before leading the northern lord and the human girl to their cave.

 

They reached the council chamber, which was empty at the moment and told them wait there before he turned to get his mate and his pups.

 

Kouga smiled evilly as he made his way to his chamber. `Wait till he sees Inuyasha… I would love to see the expression on his face when he meets his imoto rather his otouto…' he snickered at the thought.

 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

 

Sesshomaru stood in the large stone room glancing around, as Rin made herself comfortable on a tree stump nearby. He looked around slightly admiring the various paintings on the stone wall of the cave. Most of them depicted the wars fought by the wolves, and how they achieved victory over their foes, some even consisted of rites and rituals followed by the clan. Sesshomaru had always had the eye for good paintings and these fascinated him.

 

Suddenly he felt a slight pull on his hakama and looked down into two striking blue eyes of a small pup looking up at him questioningly.

 

Sesshomaru stared at his features and his scent, which made his parentage quite obvious.

 

“Baby!” Rin screamed running to pick the small pup in her arms who squealed and giggled as she hugged him close.

 

Sesshomaru was a bit surprised. The pup didn't seem to shy away from Rin's touch but looked rather happy as he wagged his bushy tail.

 

“I'm Rin.” Rin smiled. “Who are you?”

 

“Lin.” He giggled. “I's… Lu.”

 

“Lu?”

 

“No, lu.” The poor thing tried to make the girl understand that his name was Ryu but all he seemed to manage was `lu'. He scrunched his face trying to form the exact words and after much effort managed “I's R…Ry…Ryu.” He giggled clapping his hands, happy to have accomplished such a great task. He then turned to the tall lord looking at him and cocked his head. “Who?” He pointed a finger looking back questioningly at Rin.

 

“That's lord Sesshomaru.”

 

“S..ss..ssessho.” Ryu tried but could not seemed to get the full words out of his mouth so he settled with a name of his own. “Sesshy.”

 

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow (A/N: he seems to do that a lot) looking at the pup who looked giving him a small smile.

 

Rin walked to Sesshomaru offering the small pup to him. He slipped his hand around under the pup's arms and lifted him form Rin's arms holding him near his face studying him. He cold feel the pup's power radiating through the small body and he knew this pup was strong but where was the other? Ryu squealed as his hands moved to touch Sesshomaru's face tracing the crescent moon with his small fingers on his forehead before moving to his own. “Mun.” He said staring at the blank expression of the taiyoukai.

 

“Yes… you seem to have it too.” Sesshomaru said…. `He seems to have inherited father's mark.'

 

“So you've already met my son…” Kouga's voice came from the door. “I was wondering where he went.” Sesshomaru turned to look at the ookami prince caring another pup in his arms. It was a female pup who looked nothing like her brother but seemed to have the same aura of great power around her.

 

Kouga made his way towards where Sesshomaru stood with his son in his arms. “This is my daughter Hikari.” He said.

 

Sesshomaru gave the pup his usual glare who gave him a more deathly glare in return snorting slightly. Sesshomaru smirked. `This one's going to be a force to reckon.' As he watched the pup holding her head high in a proud manner. `Ryu may look like us but she seems to have inherited our pride.'

 

“Where's Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru asked turning his attention from the glaring pup.

 

At that moment Ryu suddenly began to struggle in his arms to let him down.

 

“Mama.” He shouted as Sesshomaru released him and ran towards the entrance. What appeared next made his eyes go round? Ryu ran and jumped in the arms of his `mama'. `what the hell!!??'… This was Inuyasha??

 

Sesshomaru gawked at the female standing in front of him blinking several times, his jaws almost dropping to the ground. “I…I…Inuyasha??!!!”

 

Kouga was trying hard and believe me very hard to control his laugher…. After all it was not everyday you see the great taiyoukai, lord of the western lands…. the cold hearted and expressionless pompous bastard with such a silly expression on his face and silly would be an understatement.

 

“Hai aniisan?” Inuyasha snickered not trying her least bit to hold in her laughter as she held a squirming Ryu in here arms. “Mama, Sesshy.” He pointed to the baffled lord in front of him.

 

Even Rin was shocked but more by Sesshomaru's expression than Inuyasha's change. She desperately tried to hold her giggles as she clasped her hands over her mouth.

 

Sesshomaru quickly composed himself, coughing lightly. He couldn't believe that he allowed himself to show such expression on his face, but its not everyday you see your brother…er…half brother turned into a female… and a beautiful one at that. It was enough for even a taiyoukai to bear. “Inuyasha? How?” He asked still amazed at the new form of his brother.

 

“Inuyasha changed to accommodate the birth of our pups and their sustenance but only temporarily. He might change back tomorrow.” Kouga answered as he snaked his arms around his mate's waist as she came to stand beside him.

 

“Oh.” Was all they got. Sesshomaru still seemed to a bit shaken by Inuyasha.

 

“Lord Sesshomaru you can stay the night here.” Kouga suggested. “Your journey was long and you might be tired.”

 

“No, we will return to back at once….” Sesshomaru his voice devoid of emotion. He was embarrassed enough for today and would do no more by accepting to stay with the ookamis but….

 

“Lord Sesshomaru I wanna stay.” Rin pouted again. “I want to play with the pups. We can always return tomorrow and I am very tired now… I don't want to go home.” She looked up with hopeful eyes ready to use her ultimate weapon if needed. She took an instant liking to the pups, especially Ryu and wanted to spend more time with them. She was so bored living all by herself in the castle and wanted to have someone to play with.

 

“You are most welcomed to stay with us kid… but it looks like your `guardian' would not allow it.” Inuyasha said with a smile on her face. `Let's see how he handles this. He always seems to think human are weak. Now let's see how he handles such innocent persuasion of a female.' She knew about the ultimate weapon of the ningen females having to deal with Kagome a numerous time.

 

Sesshomaru glared towards Inuyasha.

 

“Sesshomaru-sama please… I want to stay please.” Rin pleaded as tears formed on her eyes threatening to fall if denied permission.

 

Sesshomaru sighed inaudibly. He absolutely hated to loose to this tiny human child but he was helpless. He didn't want Rin to cry or her heart to break over such trifling matter. So, finally giving up, he agreed to stay somewhat reluctantly causing Rin to give him a big hug as she jumped in his arms. Sesshomaru snorted… gods what he had to do for this `daughter' of his. He was certainly going soft….

 

“I'll show you to your chamber then.” Kouga said smiling slightly at the demon lord defeated stature as he led them to his guest chamber…..
