Chapter 1: The telling

Although the sun was bright and style='color:red'>the birds sang their
melodic songs in the warm mid-afternoon, there was nothing to be joyful for.

Sitting on a throne that was
much too large for him, Sesshoumaru scowled at his father’s retainers, class=SpellE>Myouga, The Flea, astyle='color:#000033'>nd Toutousai, the sword smith.

Both style='color:red'>bearing gifts…..style='color:red'>Andstyle='color:#000033'> ill news.

The taiyoukai
begged for his mate to go rest and not to bother with the trivial matters of
court, but Inuyasha refused to leave his side.

“Uh, my-my lord, it might not be
in your Consort’s best interest to be here—it may… uh, cause him to go into
labor prematurely,” Myouga announced nervously, trying as well to dissuade
Inuyasha from hearing about what had recently happened.

“Stop treating me class=GramE>like a kidstyle='color:red'>, dammit!
 And stop talking as if I’m not here!”

“Sit down and calm class=GramE>yourself, my mate,” Sesshoumaru orderedstyle='color:red'>, then gave class=SpellE>Myouga his full attention. “Say what you will.”

The style='color:red'>Flea turned to the sword
smith. Toutousai motioned to the guards at the door who have been waiting
solemnly for their next task to their lord, the great dog demon.

The hall was soon fillstyle='color:red'>ed with chaosstyle='color:red'>, as the double doors
swung open and
three litters were brought in bearingstyle='color:#000033'> valuable gifts. Two of them held Tensaiga
and Sounga,style='color:#000033'> while the third held a white satin pillow with a black
jewel in the middle.

The inu-brothers
recognized the impromptu funeral processionstyle='color:#000033'>.

Their father was dead.

Sesshoumaru swiftly carried
Inuyasha out as soon as hisstyle='color:#000033'> breathing became rapid.

On the way to their bedchamber
the inevitable happened—Inuyasha’s water broke. The new style='color:red'>Lord of the style='color:red'>West wasted no time in style='color:red'>taking a detour to the
birthing wing. Their pups were coming a month too early.

class=GramE>oOoOoOostyle='color:#000033'>

There was no way to summon Vergil
or Dante. Kagome wrote back to Sesshoumaru,style='color:black'> telling him that when she had called them, she style='color:red'>had received no answer. She
even said something about the devil twins not having a cell phone—whatever that
could be.

So, the taiyoukai
was on his own—the life of his mate and pups were style='color:red'>now in the hands style='color:red'>of the healers.

Standing outside the birthing
room, Sesshoumaru heard his mate crying for their father—his class=SpellE>otousan.

But Toga would not be here to help
bring his new grand-heirs into the world,style='color:black'> or to give comfort thereafter.

Myougastyle='color:black'> had explained that Toga savagely battled class=SpellE>Ryuuktosuseistyle='color:red'>. Victorious in his fight
against the demon dragon, Toga was wounded severely.

Not allowing himself time to heal,
Toga rushed off to fight another foe, Setsuna no class=SpellE>Takemaru. The ningen general had
made a campaign of destroying the Western Lands outer providencesstyle='color:red'>, working his way toward the
palace in order to kill every demon on the face of the earth.

It was hard for the new young lord
to sit and listen about his father’s compassion for humans, but Toga wouldn’t
be the great dog demon he was known as,style='color:black'> if he was ruthless and uncaring.

For the first time since his
mother’s passing, Sesshoumaru felt the burning sting of tears. But they did not
fall, which was
quite fortunate, for at that moment the shoji slid back.

The expression on class=SpellE>Chicha’s visage told Sesshoumaru all that
he needed to know. He ran paststyle='color:black'> the older inu to be with his
mate.

There was no denying itstyle='color:red'>.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  Fstyle='color:black'>or a second time, style='color:black'>Inuyasha had style='color:black'>lost theirstyle='color:black'> pups— three littlestyle='color:black'> girls.

A/N: Well, how was that? Should I
continue? I’m not promising once a week updates since I’m now working on style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Family. However, if I can manage once a
week then I will.

“Talk?style='color:black'> The last time we tried to talk, you were about to skewer
me. No, Sesshoumaru we’restyle='color:black'> through-” But Inuyasha stopped himself to gauge his
brother.

Sesshoumaru stood stifflystyle='color:red'>, turning to leave. There
was nothing else to be said. Inuyasha had style='color:black'>said it all.

“Wherestyle='color:black'> the hell are you going?” Inuyasha asked curiously,
confused as to why his mate was leaving so style='color:black'>abruptly.

“Back to my study,” was the
clipped response.
