But now has come the time for the InuYoukai lord to mate and acquire an heir, something his lover is unable to provide him with. In anguish, said lover flees not knowing that the heir his former lover sought was now growing heavily within his womb.

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."


Chapter Five

"Readmittance"

"What the hell are you doing here?" InuYasha asked. 'Again…'

"Come now is that anyway to talk to your friend." Kagome said as she pulled the Hanyou into a hug. The former miko couldn't help but to sigh into her friend hair, she had missed InuYasha so much.

Pulling away she carefully accessed the Hanyou appearance.

"You look wonderful InuYasha." She huskily remarked.

"Feh, whatever you still haven't told me what you wanted." InuYasha said as he pulled away from her hold.

Kagome frowned at the Hanyou action but did not say anything more.

"It would seem Lady Kagome has found you a prospective mate." Kaede said from her seat.

InuYasha turned to the miko and shot her indignant look before asking her, "Why the hell would you that?"

'In….InuYasha, your at the age when you should….." Kagome cheeks flushing in embarrassment as she fought to think of the words, turned to her husband she shot him a look.

"Well you ain't got nothing to worry about wench, I've…" InuYasha began to say only to plummet face first into the ground.

"What the fuck? I am getting tired of you using this stupid necklace." InuYasha roared as he begun to make his way towards her.

Kaede moved quickly in front of the angry Hanyou. It was true the battle ended five years ago Kagome should have removed the chain that binded InuYasha to her, afterall she had made her choice a long time ago.

"InuYasha cal down before you do something you regret." Kaede said towards the erratic Hanyou, who at the moment was ready to tear out her innards. "Kagome, Sango and Lord Sesshoumaru perhaps it would be best if you returned another time when you can be a bit more civilized." She said towards the three.

Kagome bristled at the order as she made her way to the door. Sango loyally waiting for her near the doorway, whilst Sesshoumaru climbed into the carriage.

"Fine I'll return when InuYasha is feeling a little more civilized." She hissed out.

"Ha, you're speaking to me about being civilized as if. You're such a filthy hypocrite Lady Kagome." InuYasha said as he broke into laughter in Kaede's grip.

"Hush, InuYasha you know not what you speak of." Kaede said as she tried to calm down the almost sobbing Hanyou.

"Pssh, as if your so pathetic Kagome. All those times you told me I was perfect the way I was, was it all a lie Kagome." He shouted, drawing the attention of the village occupants and the Sesshoumaru traveling party.

"InuYasha, I ….." Kagome began to say.

"Don't you lying, you know your worst than Kikyo. At least she had an excuse for anger, what's yours."

"It's always about Kikyo with you, you never stopped loving that dead….thing." Kagome snapped back.

"Ha your just a pathetic old croon, still weeping about what could've been. I'll have you know that I was approached by a demon to mate with….'

"As if InuYasha who would want to mat with a pathetic Hanyou like you; you're uncivilized, you bathed once a week, your hair is a mess and your a complete barbaric." She snidely remarked smiling victoriously in her mind at the dejected look InuYasha was showing.

"Yeah so what I'm not a full demon, I don't have a fancy castle or nice clothes. But you know what Kagome at least I would have loved you for you. Now look at you, you're nothing more but the bitter remnant of yourself. You can't even provide for your "Great Husband" with a pup worthy of your union." He said, turning from her InuYasha brokenly wept his form shaking as each of those words speared him.

"InuYasha…" Kagome softly said as she reached out to her former beloved.

SLAP!

"Lady Kaede." Kagome said as she clutched at her cheeks.

"Leave here and never come back you are no longer invited here." Kaede said as she fixed the young woman a furious glare.

"But…but…he was the one that…" Kagome tried to say in her defense.

"Your words have cut right through his heart; I would never think you were capable of such malicious." Kaede continued ignoring the girl weak response.

"Very well I will return later to discuss his marriage." Kagome said as she fought to regain her shattered pride.

"Are you mad leave her and never comeback, you have broken his heart what twisted little innuendo do you have in that shallow little heart of yours."

Kagome visibly scowled at her words before turning and making her way through the doors, Sango shot both Kaede and InuYasha an apologetic look before following. She did not agree with Kagome on her need to control InuYasha life afterall she had her own marital woes to worry about.


"You're ten, I'm five." Miyako said for the seventh time.

Rolling his eyes at the young Kizoku who remained so persistence, Miyako could not help the fluttering that had begun in the pit of his stomach. It twisted and turn, yearning, pleading for…

"I'm too young for you." Miyako added as he tried to deter the young Lord-to-be affections.

"Besides in another decade you'll be of age and I will be a Lord. Please Miyako give me a chance."

"You do remember that my Okaasan is a hanyou and that my brothers and I are Youkai. We are enemies, immortal enemies." Miyako continued in a somewhat detached tone, he was fighting to remain calm. Schooling his features, he refused to allow the emotions that were now consuming him to run free. No, no here with him so close.

"So I don't care if you're a demon nor that our offspring's will be Halfling. I find you enchanting." Shion said as he grasped his young love hands. It was true; he did not care about Miyako heritage. It meant nothing to him and if he asked, he would throw away his title and run into the wild with him.

"Fine I give you a decade to prove your worth. One decade until then will act as though we are…"

"Courting each other." he excitedly exclaimed, as he practically jumped up and down in glee.

"Hai, we will act as such."

"So can I get a kiss?"

Sighing Miyako pulled the human Purinsu close licking his lips. He pressed his mouth against the boy as he did with his Okaa-san and his Otouto a simple little peck until…

Gasping in surprise as Shion hands grasped at his hips as his tongue delved deeper down his throat. Miyako was in absolute shock at the flurry of emotions, which now began too erratically, swirl in the pit of his belly. Miyako hands moved from his legs and laid ontop of Shion shoulders.

"Mmph!"

At that sound Shion pulled away, his eyes darkening as he took in the blushing form of his bride-to-be. Bending down he took Shion lips into his mouth again, his lips nipping and coaxing it open, he ran his tongue against the boy fangs. A Youkai; a beautiful and strong Youkai, so intoxicating and sweet. It was known throughout the southern regions of Miyako and his mother's beauty; he knew all too well that he was not the only one in pursuit of the raven-haired beauties. Although at the moment, he had a better chance…

"Umm." A voice coughed out to their right.

Pulling away both youths turned to look at their uninvited spectators.

"Am I interrupting?" Remarked the extravagantly dressed man, as he waved a fan over his face.

"No we were merely discussing our merger." Shion stated his usually jovial features stiffening.

Miyako had never seen Shion so…stiff, it was no surprise seeing as this man was.

"Really I don't recall one needing the usage of their tongue to get their point across. Such distinguishable methods, perhaps it will better plead my case towards your mother Miyako-chan." The man drawled out mockingly.

"If you say so Jitô-sama, Shion we will speak later of the specific to our temporary…alliance." Miyako face twisted into a grimace at the thought of that man touching his okaa-san, turning around to Shion he tugged the boy coy down and gave him a kiss before scurrying quickly towards the woods.

"He is very beautiful Shion, but one in your stature cannot belittle yourself by becoming involved with him." Tetsuya remarked as he stared at quickly the fleeing youth.

"And what of you father, what of your affections towards Miroku-chan." Shion drawled out sarcastically.

"I would watch that tone Shion, I am after all still your sovereign." Tetsuya said as his eyes narrowed at his son tone.

"My apologies Otousan it is not my place to judge your, acquisitions." Shion replied unapologetically.

'Or lack thereof', He reflected internally.

"But you should remember that there is one who actually does have a say in your, activities." Shion continued, barely containing the devilish smirk that appeared on his face at the sight of his rapidly paling father.

"And who would that be your mother." His father sneered in an attempt to save face.

"Or did you forget that it's through her father Daimyo Seiji." Shion reminded his sire, he couldn't stand to him. he couldn't understand how his poor okaa-san could stay married to him, of course out of duty.

His face paled as fear coursed through his form, Ryu Seiichi was a dangerous man. At the young age of nineteen, he became the first ningen Daimyo and together with his younger half-brother, they brought peace to war ridden Southern and Eastern lands. Even more frightening than him was his younger sister the shogun of the south Sora and her husband the nephew to the former Koutei of the Central Lands.

"Umm, there is no need to call your Ojii-san. I assure you I am completely faithful to your mother as long as she lives."

He watched his father flee in fear and outrage, he knew he would face his anger when he returned home. Home…..he swore he would not follow his parent's fate and be forced to wed someone he didn't love all for the sake of duty. He was so used to others doing as he wished, being drooled at by the masses till he met Miyako. So beautiful, that was the first thing that came to his thought at the sight of the youth.

At first he assumed Miyako was a simple village girl destined to marry the future village chief or blacksmith. He had begun to make plans for the youth to become his mistress, afterall at the time he was at the moment an arrange marriage between himself and the Hime of the West Ayako-hime; the daughter of the great InuYoukai Shogun Sesshoumaru and the priestess of the Shikon-No-Tama Lady Kagomes. Although the latter had no royalty in her blood so to speak, she was still a powerful figurehead and any offspring's between him and Ayako-hime would surely make up for that.

That was into he met the girl her demon senses were completely deluded no thanks to her mother smothering, she was brittle and quite a…bitch. She had the nerve to act as though she was better than him, she who had an eighth of ningen in her blood. Then he found out Miyako was a male birthed by a male, a prize above all others. Offspring's birthed by males (mostly Hanyou's and Ningen's) were extraordinary beautiful and strong. He had immediately approached him as he watched over two feuding white-haired demons (his brothers he later learned) and declared that he was to be his bride, he was promptly hit across his face. Miyako younger siblings than proceeded to undress him and leave him tied to a pole completely naked covered inn sugar.

His mother could barely contain her laughter and neither could his uncle and grandfather, Miyako mother came and offered an apology along with his clothing his offspring's stole. He had instantly fallen head over heels at the appearance of Miroku-chan unfortunately so had his father. He had been pursuing Miroku to no avail for months; his grandfather for instance had immediately become smitten with the youth using Miroku spiritual prowess to create a series of barriers around the lands and territories. He knew his father and mother shared no love but he could not help but to think that perhaps out of some kind of respect that's was the only thing keeping him from pressuring a more intimate relationship, but what if his mother….died. He couldn't help the shudder that ran through his form. He prayed with all his might that no such thing would happen as he made his way towards his carriage and his home.

All the while not knowing what fate awaited his okaa-san and his love….


"Miyako there you are. I was wondering where…you…ran off to, are you blushing Miyako." Miroku said as he took in his heavily flushing son, and his lips. Oh my god his MiMi-chan had his first….

"Ahh Miroku-chan I see your lovely Musuko-san has found his way home." Tetsuya drawled with an oily voice.

"Domo Arigato Jitô-sama, I am very grateful to you." Miroku said as he gently pushed his son towards their home.

A hand reached out and grabbed his arms causing Miroku to turn around, and stare at the man. Miroku stared at the hand on his arm visibly disgusted by the limb.

"Jitô-sama…"

"No when we are alone you may call me, Tetsuya." He leered as he pressed his body against the youth.

"Miyako go home." Miroku murmured towards his son.

"But Haha..." Miyako said as he looked at his mother; worry etched across his beautiful face, before his eyes came to rest upon Jitô-sama. From the feral look, he was throwing at Tetsuya he was not to please by the man's close proximity.

"Go Miyako; watch your otouto-chan." Miroku repeated in a firmer voice.

"Very well Haha." Miyako said as he bowed towards his okaa-san.

"…Jitô-sama." Miyako practically sneered.

"My what an, interesting young shounen." Tetsuya said as he watched the boy disappeared into the surrounding foliage. His obvious disgust of the boy clearly visible; the moment he had Miroku in his clutch he would dispose of those irritating bastards of his.

"Yes, what was it you needed to discuss with me Jitô-sama." Miroku said to steer his attention back towards him.

"Well Miroku-chan I worried over your safety as well as that of your offspring's. Such a place cannot be entirely safe for you, that is why Yuriko and I wish for you to stay with us, into we establish more secure protection around you."

"Oh I can't…I wouldn't want to impose on you." Miroku said.

"Oh no, you wouldn't be opposing at all." Tetsuya assured him. 'Just your offspring's'

"Very well the boys and I will arrive tomorrow." Miroku hurriedly said, as he turned to make his way towards his home.

"No, I will escort you there myself." Tetsuya said as he clutched at Miroku's arms.

"Ver…very well this way, it won't take us long to pack." Miroku said with a thin smile, 'Just great this man was much worse than Sesshoumaru.'

'Very soon you will be mine soon, my beautiful lily.'


"She is wrong InuYasha." Kaede assured the still shaking youth.

"Yeah I know." He said as he sat on a mat.

Kaede kneeled in front of him, grabbing at his face she held his gaze in hers.

"You are perfect just the way you are, and someday soon someone will see that to." Kaede said as she stared into those beautiful gold orbs.

"Someone already did." InuYasha admitted with a blush.

Kaede gasped as she clutched at her own face, she could barely contain her excitement at his words.

"Who? Who is he?" She asked as she shook the youth.

"Calm down you old wench it's just some Youkai." InuYasha said with a scowl.

"Really how did you meet?" Kaede asked as she poured herself some more tea

"Well he's Miroku's kid's babysitters." InuYasha sheepishly answered as he rubbed his head in embarrassment.

"Really tell me more." Kaede said over the top of her drink.

"Well…oh I almost forgot Miroku is thinking about bringing the pups for a visit."

"Are you sure that is safe." Kaede said with a frowning placing her drink on the floor. Especially seeing as Kagome planned to pay another visit despite the fact that she was no longer invited.

"Don't worry everything is going to be alright, the pups been around another demon even if Sesshoumaru sees them he'll have to be right ontop of then to figure it out." InuYasha assured her.

"Very well, when would it be alright to show…"


Kagome clutched at the letter in her hands, she was in complete disbelief at its contents.

'How? Why? She asked herself.

She couldn't believe that little brat had turned her down. How could he? Her daughter was a perfect example of what could be created through a union of a demon and a ningen.

"Mother is something wrong?"Ayako asked, her beautiful white hair pulled into a beautiful and intricate headdress. Ayako kimono was beautiful and long, the twelve layers barely heeded the young demoness movements.

"Mother?"

"Oh. Nothing little one just a bit of paperwork." Kagome answered as she placed the letter into her draw, turning to her daughter she pulled the young Hime into her arms.

Oh her precious child, though her Ryoushu despised the fruit she was able bear for him but she didn't. She knew that if she bided her time she could once again persuade him into sharing her bed and not that whore of a demoness….Kagura. She would give Sesshoumaru the male heir he desired and finally, he would treat her with the respect that she deserved as his wife, she swore.

Wow the story is moving faster than I expected, so that means Sesshoumaru should be finding out about his children in just three more chapters.

*Kagomes arranges for a marriage between Ayako and a human prince Shion, Shion rejects the proposal stating that her daughter is not worthy of such a union. Kagomes has no royalty in her blood and he fears she may be otherwise barren.

*Shion father is the Jitô of the Eastern-Southern land, the other half is ruled by his Hanyou half brother that will be making an appearance next chapter. He has a crush on Miroku and seems to be unable to take no for an answer.

-Anyway, think of Shion jii-chan and oji-san as my version of the Nobunaga clan. I did all the research, but it was irrelevant to the fic, thus the creation of the four, etc, etc.
