Chapter Four

"Reverence"

What is it to dream?

To dream of love that lasted not to long

Like the ocean breezed spreading whimsically by

I feel you under the sky

And I wonder if you ever close your eyes

And think of me too

Cause right now

A dream is the only thing

That I can hope just won't die

And in the see of remembrance

Our memories shall keep me afloat

"Wow that was beautiful Miroku."

Turing Miroku gave his Hanyou friend a smile before returning to the notebook in his hands.

"InuYasha you're back early."

"Yeah well that old bat keeps bugging me. Feh!" The Hanyou continued as he flopped down onto the grass. "She acts as though I can't take care of myself."

"Ha-ha I'm sure she knows that InuYasha, she's probably just lonely." Miroku replied, he couldn't help but to chuckle at his friends expense. But it was true Kaede had no offsprings nor any other kin, InuYasha was the son she never had and his pups, her grandchildren though she rarely saw them.

"Well perhaps I can arrange a visit for her. I'm sure she'd liked to see the pups, afterall she helped bring them into the world." Miroku announced, it would be a good idea for the pups to see her and vice versa.

"Are you sure about that?" InuYasha asked.

Miroku looked up at his friend his brows furrowed in confusion.

"What between that bratty lil know-it-all of yours and that temperamental mama boy I don't know if that old biddy would survive." The Hanyou elaborated.

Pursing his lips at InuYasha insult he rolled his eyes before lifting up his little notebook and continued to write his little hymn.

"Anyway speaking of your brats, where are they?"

"Probably picking some flowers or torturing some defenseless animal." Miroku answer nonchalantly."

"Figures it looks like they got their fathers sadistic nature and their mothers …"

Lifting his head up Miroku set his notebook aside before carefully arching an eyebrow at his companion.

Gulping InuYasha pulled himself to his feet before looking away.

"InuYasha what's wrong I know you. You wouldn't travel all the way here without a proper reason."

"It's…umm."

"Umm, doesn't answer my question, you know I'm beginning to think your just trying to avoid seeing..."

"Kagome came to visit me." InuYasha quickly answered before turning to look away.

Miroku features paled at the mentioning for his former acquaintance bride. "Wha-what, what did she want? Does she know about the pups…..." The former monk fell to his knees, a hand coming to rest shakily against his lips. 'If she knew then so did' at the mere thought of his former paramour fear flooded through him.

Sighing InuYasha bended down and lifted his friend up, pushing Miroku head up he looked into his eyes "Calm down Miro she doesn't even know about you."

Clutching onto InuYasha fire rat robe he stared into his friend's eye before asking in a hushed tone, "Then why did she visit?"

"To see me."

Flushing in embarrassment Miroku let go of the robe, taking a few steps back he begun to dust of the non-existent dirt on his robes.

"Man you are way to paranoid."

"My apologies my old friend. It's just I remember to well who follows behind our former ally."

"Yeah don't worry your secret….."

"Haha! Haha!"

Turning they were greeted by the sight of the three pups and a giant Youkai walking towards them, Miyako and Satoshi ran towards the riverbed whilst Sounga quickly scurried towards his Haha and Oji-san.

"Haha! Look at what I made." The pup excitedly exclaimed as he showed both InuYasha and Miroku a kite.

"It's beautiful Soun-Soun." Miroku remarked as he stared at the crooked instrument he doubted it would fly, behind him InuYasha was laughing. "Thank you Atari for getting the pups I hoped they were no trouble." Miroku said a she turned to greet the dragon Youkai.

The man was tall even taller than Sesshoumaru, his muscular body was riddled with dirt (probably played with the village children). His shoulder length hair was slight curly and was black with a greenish hue. Silver eyes happily surveyed over them before coming to rest on InuYasha where they darkened, Interesting he finally had something to hold against InuYasha.

"No problem." He happily replied. "Hello Koinu." He purred out, the atmosphere dropping at the change of his tone.

Even Miroku couldn't help the blush that spread across his features at that tone.

"Ahhh…feh whatever stupid lizard." Inuyasha gruffly replied, the blush staining his cheeks belittling his indifferent response. Atari merely cocked his head to the side at InuYasha response.

Miroku couldn't help but to chuckle at his friend embarrassment, sighing he allowed his hands to rest upon his belly. Smiling to himself, he could not help but to allow memories to replay. How he'd enjoyed those months, the feel of his pups pressing against his hands as he hummed(more like fighting, even in the womb Satoshi and Sounga still couldn't get along, and whenever he laid his hands on his womb it was a fight for who could feel him closer). The kicks (which usually indicated a fight had commenced) and of course…

"Haha."

Looking down he gave his little Soun-Soun a smile, the greatest day of his life was the day he first held his pups. Not even Naraku's defeat and the freeing of his curse could ever measure to that inexplicable feeling one got at seeing their first ahhh second, third children.

"Haha are you pregnant?" his no longer sweet and angelic puppy asked.

Sputtering Miroku stared down at his pup.

"Sounga where did you ever get that idea from?" Miroku remarked his eyes practically bulging in shock.

"Well your rubbing your belly, and Moto say that's what Haha's do when their pregnant." He answered his head cocking slightly to the side.

"Sounga do you even know what being pregnant, means."

Nodding his head the pup answered "Yes that's when the Chichi and Haha's play."

"Play!" Miroku repeated

"No pray silly, Haha and Chichi pray and then the Haha belly gets bigger and bigger." The pup excitedly remarked his hands spread out to indicate the size. Miroku furrowed his brows , he was never that big, never he told himself.

"And who to they pray to Soun-Soun, Kami, Buddha." Miroku asked his pup shaking his head in response to the different deities.

"Noooooooo! You should know that Haha, to the birds. You see the birds hear your prayer and they carry it to the baby place. That's where baby are made then the bird carries the baby to the Haha and the Haha swallows it because the baby is not strong enough to be outside yet." Sounga explained, beaming at the adults bemused and slightly shock expression.

"So are you pregnant Haha." The pup asked again.

He was staring at Miroku with those big puppy eyes. Ohhhh! So kawaii it made Miroku wish he was pregnant.

"No. I'm afraid not."

"That's okay Haha you just have to find a Chichi and then you can pray for a baby." The puppy replied as he rubbed Miroku belly.

Obvious of the two male besides him snickers he crouched down so he was at eye level with his pup, "I'll keep that in mind, but Sounga where did you hear how babies are made."

"Purinsu Shion, he said that he and Miyako would pray together for a baby into….." Sounga began before looking away.

"Into what?" Miroku asked he had a feeling he would not like the outcome of this conversation.

"Miyako heard him and punched him out." He finally answered, turning he caught sight of Miyako and Satoshi standing near the riverbank he smiled before running off to his older siblings.

"Purinsu Shion really doesn't know how to take no for an answer." Atari remarked hand coming up to rub absently against his cheeks.

"Yes it would seem that it is a trait that both his father and him share." Miroku murmured.

"Oww! WAHHHH!"

Turing in the direction of his pup he was not surprised to see that Sounga was crying on the ground Satoshi stood over him a grin across his face, whilst Miyako stood to the side fingers shaking as he berated Satoshi.

"Ahh a mothers work is never done." Atari said a grin on his face.

"You have no idea, I'm sorry Atari but as you can see my pup is in need of me. InuYasha when you are done I need to speak to you." Miroku replied before quickly making his way over to his offspring's.

"Hey we need to talk." Atari said the moment Miroku was out of hearing range.

"About what?" InuYasha replied his cheeks flushing

Lifting an ebony brow Atari took a step closer to the lithe youth. "Mating sea….."

"I'm going to be visiting my brother and his wife."

Narrowing his eyes at the blatant lie Atari backed the Hanyou towards the tree. When his prey was effectively blocked, he sighed before pressing his body against that of the Hanyou. Leering down he offered the boy a smile as his hands tenderly brushed against his face, "Funny from what I recall you despise your older brother."

"Uh yeah well were trying to learn to get along. You see I have a niece."

"What's her name?"

"Pardon."

"Your niece name."

"Um, its um damn. Okay I don't actually recall but, I don't need to explain myself to you I wan't to see her."

"Ha-Ha! You are a horrible liar InuYasha. However, since I am in such a forgiving mood I will let it go, for now. If you just promise me one thing"

"What's that?"

"A kiss, a simple little kiss. If you don't enjoy it I'll let you go and never bother you again."

InuYasha stared up at him a suspicious expression across his face.

"Okay one kiss so don't try anything funny or I'll-mumpf….."

InuYasha lips were sealed as a fiery inferno threatened to engulf his body. InuYasha gasped in surprise as he felt Atari tongue slid into his mouth. The long appendage thoroughly mapping out every crevice. Reaching out InuYasha clutched onto the powerful Youkai shoulders pressing his body against others. Whimpering as the Youkai lips soon parted form his own, he arched his back in pleasure as the male above him ran kisses down his throat. Using his hair as leverage Atari tilted his head back, looking up he couldn't help the whine that escaped his throat at the sight of the Youkai eyes burning into him. Biting his lips, he stood on his tiptoe, his lips a breath away from….

"I'll see you later koinu." Atari huskily whispered before disappearing into the forest.

Inuyasha cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Before he lifted up his hands and begun to rub at them roughly.

"Stupid lizard." He muttered before stomping off towards Miroku and the pups.

BANG!BANG!

"InuYasha did I not tell you not…..."

"Hello Kaede." The young miko greeted her with a smile.

"Kagome what a pleasure it is to see both you and your mate." Kaede was not shock in the slightest to see Kagome, she had obviously returned with a much bigger arsenal to get her way.

"Husband, Lady Kaede Sesshoumaru and I are husband and wife."

The old priestess merely lifted her eyebrow at that announcement; the DaiYoukai behind Kagome looked away in agitation.

"I see my apologies." Kaede finally said, stepping aside from the entrances she allowed for the couple to make their way into the hut.

"Sango is that you." Kaede exclaimed in shock as she took in the former taijia heavily swollen belly.

"Hai, Kaede it is I." the woman remarked as she hurriedly made her way into the hut.

"Last I heard you'd just given birth to a son." Kaede absently remarked as she took a seat in front of the bubbling pot.

"Hai, a boy. His name is Yasushi." Sango happily answered her face positively aglow at the thought of her son.

"How many young ones do you and your husband now have?" Kaede asked as he lifted the spoon to her lip.

"Seven."

"Ugh…oof."

The broth went down the wrong pipe causing her to choke. Kagome quickly came to her aid patting her back, into she waved the girl away.

"My that is quite a number; tell me how does your husband feel about such a number."

"He is happy." Sango hurriedly answered. "Very happy."

Kaede very much doubted that.

"So tell me what I can do for you three. It is a long journey from your palace."

"Oh well we came today to speak with InuYasha." Kagome replied a hand coming to rest on the stoic InuYoukai knees.

"About what?" Kaede asked, it would not do for Kagome to meddle in the InuHanyou affairs. Sighing to herself she lifted her tea up and begun to drink the liquid slowly. It would not do for her to choke again.

"Well he is of age to mate and I have found him the perfect bride."

"Oh really well InuYasha is not here." Kaede said as her eyes came to rest on the much younger Miko.

"Where is he, If you don't mind me asking."

"Not at all. He went to visit Miroku." Kaede answered from behind her cup.

"Miroku, he's alive you've seen him." Both women exclaimed in their excitement.

"Hai, I have seen him." 'Three years ago'

"How is he? You know we never hear a word about him, it's almost like he's hiding." Kagome joyfully remarked, completely missing the way her husband body suddenly froze.

"He is fine and his pups are….."

"Pups, Miroku is mated?" Sango asked suddenly, as shock course throughout her. Silly girl she still believed Miroku fled because of her.

"Yes he has pups, I would think so seeing as his mate can barley keep his hands to himself." She continued her eyes twinkling in laughter at the expressions now coursing through the usually reserved Youkai.

"Wait a minute Miroku is mated and he has pups."

"Three I believe, their triplets. Miroku birthed a beautiful litter, and all purebloods."

"That's impossible Miroku is a male he can't get with pu….children."

"Not if one is spiritually powerful and holds a sliver of Youkai in their blood." Kaede explained, oh she was having so much fun. Sango in shock over the fact that her former beau had mated and birth demon children, Kagome because a male had outshined her, and Sesshoumaru probably berating himself at the thought that his former lover had moved on and given birth to another Youkai offspring's.

"He sought male flesh, because of me." Sango murmured a hand coming to rest against her belly.

"No, no I believe they'd been seeing each other secretly for quite a few months before your announcement."

Sesshoumaru P.O.V.

Anger flooded through the InuYoukai at the thought that the monk had belittled his affections and mated with some weaker youkai and had even gifted th-this lesser being with offspring's, his eyes slowly begun to bleed red at the mere thought of his lover being filled with another's seed.

As he allowed his anger to take over he could envision his lover splayed on his back, while some nameless (soon-to-be dead) demon touching those milky thighs, kissing those heavenly lips, and taking in that delicious aroma that only he could release. He felt himself hardening at the sight of his lover eyes opening, those jeweled orbs heavily rimmed in lust, back arching, hands clutching and those moans. God how he very much wanted to be the one buried between those legs experiencing….

"Sesshoumaru, are you alright." Kagomes called out to his right.

Glaring to his side he recalled the reason why he was now seated in this dirty old hut, his brother. His wife had it in her head that it was high time for InuYasha to settle down and that she knew just the girl for him. She was quite blind if she did not know that the hanyou interest lied with those of his own sex.

Filthy wench afterall the trouble he went through to wed her (she refused to be mated to him, she felt it was too barbaric) she had fail to give him what he desired. The idiotic woman and all her filthy human ways were destroying the once pure visage of his lands. Her and that moronic accomplice, his nose turning upward at the smell of that pungent wench. Here she was with child for the seventh time she was truly foolish if she believed that by continually getting pregnant she could keep her husband's attention. The man spent half his time lying on his back, his current lover was Sesshoumaru most trusted general. Yoichi had often remarked the boy was a screamer, but that did not seem to stop the boy from returning to the somewhat sadistic fox.

Nodding his head briefly at his 'wife', he sighed in relief as she turned around and continued to ramble to the old priestess. How that woman can stand to sit there and listen to her going on and on he did not know. She was obviously a saint; dealing with both his younger brother and terse two wenches took a great deal of patience. Something he knew too well he did not have.

"You should see his pups they are beautiful." Kaede said as she smirked form behind her cup, eyes carefully surveying her guests reactions.

BANG!

They all turned as the hut door was slid opened and InuYasha entered.

"Hey old lady what's going outside, it looks like a royal procession." The Hanyou began only to stop as he took in the rooms inhabitants.

"Kagome."

"InuYasha."
