Sesshomaru’s pov

I have been very lonely lately. Naraku is dead but the jewel is still not complete. I let a panther demon take me one night to try and take away my loneliness. It did not help and I got pregnant. I was going to kill the baby but couldn’t. Rin and Jaken are still with me and want to help me with the baby. I am now tree months pregnant and am just starting to show. I have realized through my travels of how many half demons there are. So many are killed as children and I have realized it is not their fault they are half demons. I was so very wrong about them. They are just like us all. Not as strong as full demons but stronger then humans.

Rin and Jaken are now sleeping next to Au-Un and I am looking at the stars. I saw smoke and decided to investigate. In a village near by, the villagers was standing around a burning hut. I smelled a half demon inside and walked in calmly. The half demon was tied to a pole with a gage in his mouth. I walked over to him and pulled the gage off. He was about 8 years old and was dressed in ragged cloths. Almost like slaves cloths. He was crying and I could smell the fear on him.

I asked, “Would you like a home where you are loved and do not have to fear of being hurt?” He was still crying but nodded. I cut him free and picked him up. He sat comfortable on my hip and I walked outside. The hut clasped as soon as I was completely out. I glared at the humans that were glaring at me and gave a little smile of reassures to an old man and woman that seemed to be relieved that I saved the small child. They must be the ones that were looking after him. I let him give them hugs and then we left. I was carrying him bridal style back to camp as the sun came up. He was dirty and his face was tear stained. He was also thin and very pail. His cloths were barely covering his small body. When I got to camp we all packed up and headed to the next village.

As soon as we got there Rin ran off to play with the village children, while I went to talk to the leader of the village. I had saved the village once before from hundreds of demons and now they respected me. They would give me anything I asked for and help in any way they could. They have healed and took care of me a lot of time. The leader gave me a place to stay and then the child woke up. I could smell his fear when he seen the humans but I lessoned as I went into a bathhouse and we were alone. I set him down on his own feet and he looked up at me with big eyes. I kneeled down beside the tub with the boy in front of me. I took off his rags and searched him for injuries. When I was satisfied I lifted him up and sat him in the bath. I scrubbed his little body clean and he just stared at me with hope in his eyes. When I was finished I studied him. He had long white hair don to his bottom with brown eyes and little dog-ears on top of his head. He was a dog demon and finally spoke to me.

“Are you my mommy now?” he asked. I looked at him thinking. I decided to let him call me mommy since that would be what my child called me. Father would not do because I was uke and the one giving birth.

I nodded and asked, “What is your name?”

His fear disappeared and he answered, “Ginkatsu.”

“Silver victory huh?” I smiled. He grinned and nodded to me. I kissed his forehead and a crescent moon like mine appeared. He felt it with his finger and then hugged him tightly. I smiled and hugged him back. Jaken came in and gave me some cloths for Ginkatsu. I helped him put his cloths on, and tied the sash to hold the cloths closed. They were silk and a sky blue color. I combed through his wet hair to get all the snarls out with my long fingers and then we left the bathhouse. Rin came over with Jaken and I said, “Ginkatsu, this is Jaken and Rin. Rin, Jaken this is Ginkatsu.”

They bowed to each other and Rin asked, “Would you like to play with me?” Ginkatsu smiled and nodded and then they both ran off. I saw Rin introduced him to the village children and all began to play together. Jaken and I sat in front of the hut given to us and watched them play in the road. We stayed for three days and began to travel again. Rin and Ginkatsu became good friends and Ginkatsu got Rin even calling me mommy now. I now felt proud of the name. Rin was sleeping on the forth day out and Ginkatsu ran off somewhere.

I stopped after a while of traveling, and set up came by a stream. I sat under a tree in the shade, watching the water when Ginkatsu came running up to me. “Mommy! Mommy!” he called. He gave me some flowers and I smiled and hugged him. Rin woke up by his yelling and got down off Au-Un. They then went to catch fish together. We ate the fish that night that they caught. While everyone was sleep that night I was sitting up thinking. I knew a village was a mile way when I stopped to make camp, but I was startled when I herd screaming and crying. I raced off to investigate. In the street of the village was about six men beating two half demons. A man razed a shovel, about to smash the smallest head in. They were both girls, one was six and the other 8. I rushed forward and broke his shovel. Everyone ran. The six year old had a cut on her forehead and the 8 year old was bleeding from her nose. Both had bruises all over their bodies. I picked up the six year old and put her on my hip then the 8 year old on the other hip.

Both clung to me and I said, “I’m taking you home.” I ran back to camp and they were slowing to sniffles. I went to the stream and cleaned them up. They had blue hair and ears that looked like wings. We all introduced ourselves and Ginkatsu and Rin made friends with them. After while, the two girls started picked up on calling me mommy too. The six year olds name was Ai and the 8 year olds was Fuyumi. They were dragon demons. We fed Ai and Fuyumi and then we all went to sleep. I told myself that tomorrow we had to get the girls new cloths. The rags would not do.

I woke up early being sick. Jaken woke up hearing me and held my hair back for me. When I was finished I realized my children were still asleep. I did not want to wake them so I took out two big peaces of cloth from the bag on Au-Un. I put Fuyumi and Ai in one and tied it to one side of Au-Un. Then I put Rin and Ginkatsu in the other and tied it to Au-Un’s other side. Jaken took Au-Un’s rains and followed behind me as we set out for the village. I sensed something wrong in the village so when my children woke up I told them to stay down. The village people were miserable people. They were snappy and would not sell me cloths.

I herd a whip and two cries. Au-Un flew up and stayed high so my children would be out of harms way, while I ran to the fields. A man was whipping two little boys. One was a full demon and the other a half demon. The full demon looked to be 8 years old and his brother 5. I caught the whip when it came down again and whipped the man back. I was so angry that I wanted to kill him! I turned back to the crying boys and gathered then in my arms and flew up to Au-Un. I sat on Au-Un and set the two boys in front of me. Their wounds healed quickly and I found out there names. The 5-year-old half demon was Akio and his brother the full demon was Yukio. They were panther demons with long black hair. The half demon had little cat ears on top of his head. We flew away but not before I had a pitchfork throne into my back. I yanked it out and threw it back then left. I knew something was wrong when I started having cramps. We set up at nightfall and the two new boys had now relaxed. For 3 days I lay on my side sweating, crying, heaving, and screaming. On the forth day the cramps lessoned and I was covered in sweat. I had a fever and had become week. The wounds on my back were not healing. It must have had a poison on the pitchfork to kill demons. Jaken helped me get my armor off and my swords. They were now to heavy for me to carry. We started walking a slow walk to the next village for cloths. My children rode on Au-Un when they were tired. We reached the village and I smelled Inuyasha. I realized this was Inuyasha’s village. I decided to just buy the cloths and leave. I got the cloths and some extras. My children followed behind me. The cramps were getting worse and my vision was going black. I was falling and the last thing I herd was the cry of “Mommy!” from my children.

I come out of Kaede’s hut to see Sesshomaru walking away from a clothing shop. Six children, Jaken and Au-Un were following him.

He passed out and the children cried “Mommy!”

Kagome, Kouga her mate, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kilila, and I started walking towards them. The children huddled back into Au-Un looking frightened at us. The air wreaked the smell of fear. Kagome and Sango got the children to come with them to Kaede’s hut while I carried Sesshomaru in. I lay him on a matt and Kaede quickly tended to his wounds. Jaken told us Sesshomaru was pregnant, which made me jealous.

His wounds were still bleeding and Kaede said, “We will have to scorch them closed.” We all then noticed the bulge in Sesshomaru’s stomach move and Kaede said Sesshomaru’s child was already dead from the poison. Sesshomaru had to wake up just in time to hear the last part and broke down in front of us. He screamed and cried as he covered his face with his hands. His children started to cry and the crescent moons on their foreheads started to glow. They were glowing from the distress on Sesshomaru. The children were shipped to another hut with Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Kilila. Kaede said, “The child needs to come out.” To all our horror Sesshomaru ripped his stomach open splattering blood everywhere and it covered him. Miroku, Kouga, and I had to hold him down as Kaede took out the baby. Sesshomaru was not thinking clearly and Kaede forced an herb down his throat to calm him down. His strength left him and his eyes glazed over. We slowly released him and he lay calmly starting at the wall. Kaede put her hand on his shoulder and said, “You’ll be okay child.” Sesshomaru slowly blinked and his gaze drifted to me. A minute after his gaze landed on mine, I his eyes drifted close. I panicked a little until Kaede said, “It’s alright he is giving in to the loss and exhaustion.” We all cleaned up the hut and Sesshomaru. Kaede tented to his wounds and burned the ones on his back closed. When she was done I covered him up. The children were aloud back in the hut and clung to Sesshomaru like a live line. They were frightened I could smell it.

Sesshomaru’s pov

I woke up in pain. It was nighttime and I saw my children sleeping by me. Inuyasha was wake and said, “You have been sleeping for tree days. Are you feeling better?” I slowly nodded and looked at the hand I was holding. It was Inuyasha’s. He squeezed mine gently, and I did it back weakly. I then drifted off to sleep again. I stayed in the hut for three more days and then was aloud to sit outside on the porch. My children were playing in front of the hut close enough so I could watch them. They were also afraid to let me out of their sight; afraid someone would take me away.

My breasts were so full of milk they hurt. I don’t even notice when they leek anymore. It’s been a week now that we have stayed here in the village. All of a sudden a woman came tarring through the village. Some village people were calling her crazy and some were calling her possessed. She wasn’t ether, just desperate. She saw me and threw herself on the ground beside me on the porch. Inuyasha saw this and was going to make her leave me alone but Kagome stopped him. She grabbed my face basically screaming at me to help her. When she realized that I nodded; she calmed down. She opened my shirt and brought the half demon baby, she had hidden, to my nipple. He latched on and drank his fill of milk. He did not drink much. I looked up and saw my two boys, Akio and Yukio looking at me pleadingly. They wanted to help relive my pain and being panther demons they loved milk. I nodded and they crawled forward. As they drank the pain began to lesson. They drank until I was dry and then curled up beside me and fell asleep. I looked at the mother and realized she had died already. Inuyasha and his friends took her body away to give her a burial. I looked at the baby about one year old and kissed his forehead. He smiled a toothless smile at me as I watched a crescent moon appear on his forehead. We both then fell into a peaceful sleep.
