Chapter 10: A Mate Lost but a Mother Found

The sun poured through the windows of the room and fell on the sleeping figure of Toga; he growled slightly and opened his eyes, cursing the sun for disturbing his rest. He yawned and went to stretch until he remembered he had his little mate lying curled up beside him. He smiled warmly and looked upon her lovely face, then gasped lightly. She had changed...into a full youkai.
Her ears had changed to the pointed ones of his kind and her hair was still its raven black colour the only difference was the silver streaks that ran through it and tipped the ends. Upon her forehead was the crescent moon of his house and a pink circle just beneath the bottom point of the moon, he knew this to symbolise the Shikon no Tama, her cheeks where adorned in silver slashes, like Sesshoumaru's and where outlined in a royal blue. He could see one of her newly grown fangs poking out of her mouth which was slightly open. Upon her wrists where the same slashes as on her cheeks and he was willing to bet they were on her hips as well as her ankles.
He smiled softly silently praising the female beside him, he had thought she wouldn't have been able to get any more beautiful than she had been, but it turned out he had been wrong. He was brought out of his thoughts when he felt something soft brush against his leg. Curious he lifted the cover up just enough that he could see beneath it, and grinned when he seen his mates raven black and silver streaked tail which was also like her hair, tipped in silver.
He gently replaced the blanket over both of them and nuzzled his nose into his mates’ neck deeply inhaling her sweet scent which was now mixed with his own. But he narrowed his eyes when he smelt another scent on his mate, it may have been subtle but it was there. So he slowly and carefully began to move down Kagomes sleeping body following the strange scent, it was definitely getting stronger the further down he went.
It was when he reached her navel that the scent hit him stronger than ever and his eyes widened, realising what the scent was. He couldn't believe he had been so stupid as to forget what the type of scent meant. He smiled a smile of true happiness and joy. 'Not only have I got a most perfect mate whom I love dearly...but I now have a new pup on the way. My little mate's body must have been in its fertile stages. Oh how wonderful!' Toga thought moving back up to the top of the bed when he heard his mates’ heart rate speed up signalling she was beginning to stir.
Kagome's eyes fluttered open, that damn sun was such a nuisance. Why couldn't it have stayed away for another hour or so? She sighed giving a small yawn. Well not much point in going back to sleep now was there? Blasted sun it had just become her enemy for the next few hours at least. She was brought out of her thoughts by her mate's voice.
"Good Morning my dove. Did you sleep well?" Toga asked grinning like the cat, or rather the dog that had gotten the cream...in this particular scenario.
"Yes I did my love, why are you grinning like a mad man?" Kagome asked confused.
"Well there's three reasons my dear. One: You're my mate. 2: You have changed into a full Inu youkai and might I add you suit it very well. And 3: You're with pup." Toga said his grin becoming impossibly wider.
"Aww how sweet you're happy that I'm your mate. WAIT! WHAT! Inu Youkai! With pup!?" Kagome said when she realised what the other two reasons where. She jumped up when these two things sunk in and rushed to the floor length mirror beside her vanity, and very nearly fainted when she seen her appearance.
'Well I'll be damned I really am a full Inu Youkai.' She thought in shock. But wait didn't Toga say that she was with pup...but that meant that she was...
"Toga love what exactly did you mean by I'm with pup?" Kagome asked, knowing the answer but wanting to make sure.
"Well it means exactly what I said you're with pup...I suppose the human term is you're with child...or to be blunt you're pregnant." Toga said still grinning away like this was the best day of his life, and really he was beginning to feel it was.
"Oh My God! But how?" Kagome responded stupidly.

"Now really darling...I thought you'd know...exactly how it happened." Toga said suggestively and with a sexy smirk. Getting up from the bed and stalking toward his female. He picked her up and walked back to the bed placing her on it and climbing on top of her.
"However if you want a reminder...I'll happily refresh your memory." He said huskily then taking his mates lips in a deadly kiss. And letting his hands start to wonder as Kagome writhed pleasurably beneath him moaning quietly. This pleased Toga greatly and had his beast howling in conquest of the tiny female. Oh yes he would remind her exactly how she was in her current condition, and he'd take great pleasure in it, and it appeared so would she. So with this thought, he thrusted into his mate powerfully and deeply, careful not to hit the wall of her cervix and her womb which was behind that, which held a very precious energy which was slowly growing.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::
Kagome sat underneath the shade of the large cherry blossom tree in the gardens of her home, she seemed to be tiring a lot easier lately but then again she was six months pregnant and due to go into labour any day now. It had turned out demonic pregnancies last six months, as opposed to a human pregnancy which lasted nine. Yes it had been six months since she mated Toga and became Lady of the West. She loved this place so much, not because of her station or the station of her mate. But because of the joy that he and their children Sesshoumaru and Shippo brought to her. She knew that the new baby would only add to that joy however she wasn't stupid she knew exactly who she would be giving birth to...Inuyasha. She had taken the place of Izayoi she had known this the moment Toga had told her she was pupped. The time span, of which she entered this time until now, should have been when Toga and Izayoi met then mated and had Inuyasha. However Toga had come across her first.
Yes things had changed, which meant history had changed. She didn't even want to think about what would happen now. Even with this knowledge that things had changed she still couldn't shake the fear that Toga would still come up against Ryuukotsusie.

She hoped he wouldn't but she knew it was fruitless that one battle wouldn't change. She was going to lose her mate. But what could she do? She couldn't tell him Midoriko had come to her in the dream realm and told her of this. She felt so damn hopeless and had no one to turn to. And she couldn't bring herself to tell Shippo, he had gotten so attached to Toga, and she couldn't bear to tell the young kit that he would soon lose another father. Her tears came then, and she sobbed unlike never before, she felt as if she was pouring her soul out through her tears. However they didn't last long as she felt a fiery pain cut across her lower abdomen, and then she felt a gush of fluid flow down her inner thighs.
'Oh god! I'm in labour!' was her sole thought and screamed out with all her might for her mate. She was in too much pain to move.
"Toga!"
Toga had been sitting in his study sorting through some papers when he heard the ear piercing scream of his young mate. His eyes widened when he felt her pain through their bond she was in labour. He shot up faster than a bullet from a gun and was in the gardens in front of his mate. He lifted her up bridal style and sped toward the birthing chambers yelling for the mid wives to come as fast as they could. He lay her on the birthing bed gently and began undressing her when he was done he covered her with the birthing sheet and tried calming her as best he could.
The mid wives arrived and where beginning to usher him out of the room, until Kagome's voice stopped them.
"NO! He stays with me; I want him here with me."
"But milady men are not meant to be in here, it's how things are done." The head mid wife said.
"Well I'm sorry Memeha but where I am from the males ARE allowed at the labour. And last time I checked I was your Lady therefore you will NOT question me!" Kagome growled. Shocking the mid wife as Kagome never pulled rank with any of the servants in the castle she treated them like equals.

"That may be so Lady Kagome but you are here, and our traditions stand, I will not work with a male in the room." The mid wife said haughtily.
"Well then...you will not be working in this room, leave. Once I am able I will then deal with your insubordination!" Kagome said her eyes bleeding red, she wanted her mate with her and dammit she will have him with her.
"You heard my mate Memeha, and instead of my mate dealing with your attitude, after this I will be dealing with you! You have now overstepped your boundaries!You forget your place!"Toga growled reacting to his mates’ ire and tension.
"Milord." Memeha bowed leaving the room, yes she indeed preferred Sesshoumaru's mother at least she had listened.
After the head mid wife had left the other two took over, as Toga removed his haori and positioned himself behind his mate supporting her upper body. It was going to be a long night.
After six very long hours, the small but loud cry erupted in the room, as a new prince of the west was born, and he was full youkai.
"By the gods he is perfect" Kagome said in awe of her son.
"Just like his mother" Toga answered with pride.
"What should we call him?" Kagome asked even though she knew what the answer would be, as she latched the young pup to her breast so that he could feed.
"I believe Inuyasha would be perfect for him." Toga said with a warm smile at his new son.
"Of course." Kagome said looking down at the young pup feeding from her, so that was it...she was now Inuyasha's mother. So if she was happy about becoming a parent, why did she have such a foreboding feeling about this?
Her answer came a few weeks after she had given birth she had been sitting in her private garden with Shippo and Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha had been put down for his afternoon nap. She was playing tag with her older sons when Midoriko appeared before her and the boys.
"Lady Kagome, I apologise but...it is time, you must return to the feudal era now with Shippo. Your job here is done. So you must return."
"No Midoriko please! Inuyasha will be left without his mother and soon his father please let me stay!" Kagome pleaded.
"I'm sorry Kagome but the time space continuum has been interrupted enough. And history has been radically changed. It’s time to go." Midoriko said firmly but with kindness.
Kagome's tears began falling then and she quickly turned toward Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru, listen to me, I'm from a different time. I have to return to it. You won't see me again until you become The Lord of The West and have grown up. And it won't be long until you're forced to become the Lord of these lands be prepared my darling. Look after your little brother Inuyasha, help him as best you can. Teach him the ways of the aristocracy and the ways of the youkai. I am so sorry my sweet, sweet darling. I love you and it breaks my heart to have to leave you. Please tell your father all I have told you, and tell him to look in his bottom drawer in his study and the answers will become clear." Kagome said her tears flowing like a torrent down her face as she pulled Sesshoumaru to her and embraced him tightly.
She then stepped back and began to fade away as she felt the magic surround her and Shippo. A blinding light erupted around them and as it started to go black the last thing she seen was Sesshoumaru running after her and crying and then it went completely dark.
Shippo came to before Kagome, and could see blue sky above him. He sniffed delicately and realised they were back in their own time. He may have been young but he wasn't stupid, he knew he'd lost another father. The only thing that stopped him from completely breaking down, was the fact that he knew Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were still alive, at least his mum and brothers where still around. He was brought out of his thoughts by his mum stirring beside him.
"Ship...Shippo, where are we?" Kagome asked turning her head toward her young kit.
"We're back in our own time mama." Shippo said quietly.
Kagome nodded knowing that but needing to hear it. She frantically searched for her mate through their bond but she knew it was hopeless, he was gone...for good.
"I do hope you're not going to start crying again? I always hated it when you cried...mother." A deep voice called down the well.
Kagome gasped and looked up to see the smiling face of her grown up eldest son.
"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome said tears of happiness falling lightly. As he jumped down the well, to be dived on by Shippo.
"Big Brother!" Shippo cried attaching himself to Sesshoumaru's neck and nuzzling him in a familial gesture.
"Hello little brother I have missed you." Sesshoumaru said hugging Shippo, then pulling his mother into him in a tight embrace.
"I am so glad to have you back mother." Sesshoumaru whispered truly sincere with his words. They were interrupted by another voice calling down to them.
"Oi Sesshoumaru get my mum up here right now! I was only a few weeks old last time I seen her." Inuyasha said. Kagome looked up and found Inuyasha as a full youkai. She smiled, her mate may be gone...but at least she still had her boys.
