Meddling Fathers

Chapter 12

Taisho sighed as he sat in his study; his children were not getting along. He could hear Inuyasha screaming at Sesshoumaru from his window. It had been nearly two weeks since Inuyasha’s punishment. In those two weeks: Several plants were near death. There were two attempts on Kagome’s life by Inuyasha. An uncountable amount of “Sit’s from Kagome. And one broken arm, belonging to Inuyasha courtesy of his elder brother.

And now as Taisho looked out his window he could see Kagome sitting on her bench feeling sorry for the poor plants she couldn’t save. He could also see Inuyasha yelling at Sesshoumaru who clearly didn’t care what he had to say. Turning from the window muttering something about children, Taisho made his way back to his desk to finish what he had been working on. Just as he sat down he heard an angry “Sit Boy!!” from Kagome and laughter from Sesshoumaru.

In the Garden

“Sesshoumaru, can’t you control your bitch?” Inuyasha yelled into his brother’s face. Sesshoumaru just laughed. “I do not wish to control her. Maybe you should learn to behave before she breaks your back.” Inuyasha huffed then walked away to wreak more havoc on the unsuspecting plants. Sesshoumaru laughed again and went to comfort his wife. When he sat down next to her she whimpered. “Oh Sesshou, look at the garden.” He sighed. “Oh Kagome. I know its bad but it’ll get better.” She sniffed nodding. “Okay. Where is he now?” Sesshoumaru looked around. “He’s cleaning out the fountain.” She looked around Sesshoumaru toward the fountain and sighed. “I just hope he doesn’t break it. Did they ever fix the other one?” Sesshoumaru turned and looked at Inuyasha also. “Not yet. But they are working on it.” Kagome muttered something about Inuyasha being a jerk and not listening to her directions. Sesshoumaru put his arm around her and kissed her cheek to try and help her feel better. He was rewarded when she smiled up at him and kissed his lips. “Maybe you should break his other arm so he would leave me alone for a while.” She said to him as the kiss ended. He just laughed. “You know that’s not a good idea. His arm is already healed enough that he doesn’t need a sling. If I were to break the other one he’d still be able to work.” He said to her.

"Kagome! I'm finished with this fountain!" Inuyasha said loudly as he walked up to Kagome and Sesshoumaru. "Does it still work?" she questioned tiredly. "Uh yeah. See." he gestured to the fountain and the couple turned to see it still in working order. "So what else can I do today." he said hoping he was done. He had been out there since Kagome woke this morning. Honestly he couldn't see how they could stay out there all day until dinner like they did. Kagome looked around, the only thing left was to prune some bushes so she sent him to do it. "Oh and Inuyasha, don't mangle them or I will send Sesshoumaru to deal with you." she threatened as he started to work. He nodded in understanding. "Lets go inside beloved, its too hot out here for you today." Sesshoumaru said to her as he stood and offered her his hand. She took it gratefully. It was too hot and she was tired. As they passed Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru growled telling him that he was not to stop working. "When your done you can go inside." Kagome said to him before she went inside.

A year later found them all getting along nicely, with the exception of a broken bone every once in a while. It also found Kagome expecting her first. A boy, according to Sesshoumaru and due any day.

"Inuyasha! What happened to these roses?" Kagome said angrily. "Uh...." he stammered. "Should I get Sesshoumaru or are you going to admit that you killed my favorite fore bush?" she told him in a low angry voice and he stiffened at the threat. "I'm sorry Kagome it was an accident. Please don't call for Sesshoumaru." he said with panic in his voice. Then Kagome grabbed her stomach and gasped, the pain was etched on her face, and Inuyasha was starting to freak out. "Kagome, are you okay." he said starting to worry. "Go . . . get . . .Sesshoumaru!!" she panted trying to sit down. Inuyasha helped her sit down and went to find Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru was in his study when Inuyasha burst through the door out of breath and with panic written on his face. "What the hell is wrong with you." Sesshoumaru said standing. "Its. . .Kagome, she. . ." and that was all he could say before Sesshoumaru took off. "She's in the Garden!" Inuyasha yelled after him.

She sat there on her bench cursing that Inuyasha wasn't as fast as Sesshoumaru. Then she looked up to see the worried face of her husband. "Sesshoumaru! My water broke!" she cried. Sesshoumaru wasted no time in gathering her up in his arms and carrying her to their room only stopping once to order the midwife. Placing her on the bed he refused to leave her side and she refused to let him. After an hour and a half of crying and screaming, and a substantial loss of hearing on Sesshoumaru's part, Kagome brought her child into the world of the living.

The midwife wrapped the babe in a soft blanket after cleaning him off. Then she carefully handed the young prince to his mother. "Oh Sesshou. He's beautiful." she cooed. "What should we name him?" He looked upon his son with great pride in his heart. He had white hair, though only a little, his tiny finger were tipped with delecate little claws that would no doubt be poisonous when he was old enough. He had elven ears, much like his father, and an angelic face with crimson stripes on his cheeks. He had golden eyes just like every male in his bloodline. Although he only had half the blood he had the appearance of a full blooded youkai. To both Sesshoumaru and Kagome he was every thing they could have ever wished for. And so Sesshoumaru bestowed him with the name: Takahiro, which means great and valuable.
