“Push my Lady!”
Rin bears down, teeth gritted in a snarl of agony, sweat soaking her hair and holding her bangs plastered to her red face. Kagome sits behind her, helping support Rin’s back as she pushes her first born child from her tiny body. Rin is both excited and afraid…
Afraid that Lord Sesshomaru’s pup may not actually be a pup at all.
Afraid that the pup will be a baby, a normal human child.
“Rest for a moment, Lady Rin.” The palace midwife is doing something between her exhausted legs. Rin lays back into Kagome’s gentle embrace and remembers what got her into this situation in the first damn place…
Back in the fall, Sesshomaru and InuYasha had gone out to the eastern edge of their territories, being warned by Koga that there was some suspicious activity concerning that nutty Panther demon tribe. Turns out there was a skirmish that lasted for over three months. Sesshomaru had sent for all the best warriors he could get his hands on, which included the remainder of Koga’s tribe, Sango and Kohaku, as well as some other fighters from the surrounding area. In the time that her mate was gone, Rin had befriended and took comfort in Miroku, the lecherous monk that InuYasha and Sesshomaru had ordered to stay behind to protect their respective mates. One particularly depressing night, Rin had gone to sleep only to awaken in screams, having a nightmare that Sesshomaru had been killed in battle. Miroku stayed in her room and sipped hot tea with her, talked with her about how he missed his own wife and how very similar their situations were. As he was helping her to her feet, she stumbled clumsily and he caught her. Their faces were inches apart, and the desire to simply touch and be touched took over. Their awkward kisses and nervous touches soon broke away into easier motions, and before long, Miroku had stripped the girl and Rin allowed him to lay with her, simply craving a male’s wanton touch upon her body. Miroku lost himself as he closed his eyes and pictured his wife beneath him. Rin’s eyes closed too, picturing her Lord and her perfect mate as she felt Miroku’s hot seed run down inside her.
That was the moment everything changed.
They both snapped out of their personal fantasies. Miroku had spilled his seed in her, and now they would simply have to wait and see if it would find purchase in her womb or not. They dressed without a word and Miroku left Rin’s chambers for his own. The two avoided each other over the next two days. In their free time, they both bathed at least three times each day. One sniff from either Inuyokai and it would be the end of both of them.
Luckily, the warriors returned shortly thereafter, and the first thing Sesshomaru did was lay with his Lady. When she became pregnant, everyone, even Rin and Miroku, assumed it would be Sesshomaru’s pup, because Sesshomaru was yokai, and certainly demon seed must be stronger than human seed… right?
Now that the hour was finally upon the two one-time lovers, they both were so sick they could hardly stand it. Rin was in near hysterics thinking that the child she carried for nine months was going to be human. If it was human, and especially if it had those violet blue eyes, it would be her death warrant, as well as Miroku’s and the child’s. On the other side of the castle, Miroku sat in the lotus position, praying and meditating, sweat rolling off his face and dripping onto his purple kesa. He’d made many, many mistakes in his life, but this was by far the absolute worst. How could he have betrayed his darling Sango? How could he have tarnished Rin’s honor? How could he have been so wrapped up in his thoughts that he couldn’t pull out in time to keep this from happening? Gods, he’d really done it this time. All he could do was pray; pray for Rin, pray for her child and pray for himself.
“Wow, monk. You look like shit,” InuYasha said in passing.
“Shut up.”
The hanyou knelt near him. “Everything alright? You look extremely uncomfortable, almost scared.”
“Yeah… I just don’t feel very well is all.” Miroku hoped he couldn’t scent his lies.
“Alright,” InuYasha shrugged. “Hope ya feel better.” With that, InuYasha continued through the courtyard to find his brother, who was no doubt wearing a hole in the floorboards pacing.
Back in the birthing room, the midwife said in a gentle voice, “One more good push my Lady and the head will be out.” Rin took a deep breath and pushed hard. The child’s head cleared her stretched opening, the infant’s shoulders easily squeezing past and the midwife pulled the newborn from Rin’s exhausted body.
“Congratulations, Lady Rin! It’s a girl!” The infant squalled loudly, but Rin could not as of yet see her daughter. The midwife hadn’t balked at the child, so maybe it was a pup after all. The woman bathed the little girl well, wrapped her tightly in a warm blanket and then gently passed her to her mother.
Rin’s breath caught in her chest. All she could see was her face, her head had been completely covered. Rin fought tears as she pushed the wrappings back. She saw dark hair and panicked. As her little girl continued to cry, she saw no inu fangs in her daughter’s mouth… This was not looking very well. No, not well at all. Kagome gasped as the little girl opened her eyes…
The most brilliant gold stared back at her, so gold they were almost a bright yellow. Rin audibly heaved a sigh of relief, to which Kagome gave her a strange look. Upon further investigation, Rin found the fuzzy dark dog ears on top of her daughter’s head and finally smiled. Miroku’s seed had been avoided after all. Now she could enjoy her little pup. She could enjoy her motherhood, and she could sleep easy tonight for the first time in a long time, knowing that Sesshomaru would not kill her or her pup in a fit of rage.
Miroku came down to the audience chamber where Sesshomaru would either kill him or show him his pup. He drug his feet, not in any hurry to find out if he would live past the next five minutes or not. Sesshomaru came stomping down the corridor ahead of him and Miroku froze. The Lord of the West glared at him at the end of the hallway and Miroku fell to his knees.
“Please my Lord, show mercy on me.”
Sesshomaru’s eyes narrowed. “Get up and follow me. And don’t dawdle.” He turned and stormed back down to the audience chamber. Miroku stood and walked briskly, fearing the absolute worst.
When he stepped inside and shut the door behind him, he immediately looked to Rin, who was beaming. He saw Sango sitting next to her, completely oblivious to their one night stand, cooing and gently touching the dark puppy ears on the infant’s head. Miroku passed out with relief right there in the doorway. “Shit, he said he hadn’t been feeling good,” InuYasha said as he picked his friend up and hauled him to his bedroom on the other side of the palace grounds.
Later that night, once Miroku awoke and ate and reveled in the relief he now felt knowing that he could very well live to one hundred now, he wound his way back to the Lord’s chambers to apologize and to have a few words with Rin. Sesshomaru wasn’t concerned with the monk’s behavior in the least, chalking it up to a bad meal he’d eaten and that was that. Rin asked if she could speak with the monk privately for a moment, and her mate took their little girl and walked out to the courtyard to view the nighttime sky.
Miroku leaned close and whispered quietly in her ear, well aware of the taiyokai’s sensational hearing. “I am so happy for you Rin. I am so relieved for everyone involved that she is a pup.”
Rin mouthed “Me too.” She smiled at him. “I do wonder though what she would have looked like had it been yours.” He smiled back at her as she continued, “I bet she would have had your beautiful eyes.”
A blush swept across his face and was gone as he noticed Sesshomaru looking in their direction, apparently wondering at the seemingly silent conversation going on. Miroku cleared his throat and said, “I’m so glad you came through it alright, my Lady. I worried that your small frame would have made your labor more difficult than normal. I prayed for your safety during your labor.” The look in his eye told her that he had indeed prayed for her, for all of them.
“Thank you houshi-sama. I am appreciative of your thoughtfulness. However, I have to admit, I am rather tired and would very much like to rest. Please excuse my rudeness.” Rin gave him a look only he could see, but her scent was something that Sesshomaru instantly caught and worried over, as he scented her love, something she’d only ever given himself and now the pup. His daughter squirmed in his arms, and he heard her tiny tummy rumbling. He began to walk back to his bedroom, scenting and listening intently as he walked. He smelled the monk’s fear, smelled Rin’s anxiety, but the scent of love he’d caught earlier was now all gone. Hn. Maybe she was merely thinking of the pup as he asked her about her labor.
The monk stood and bid Rin good night, bowed to Lord Sesshomaru as he entered and then left himself. The look on Rin’s face… She looked sorry to see the monk leave.
“Rin, Kazumi needs to be fed,” he said in his baritone voice. She sat up and took the pup and that scent of love was back. Yes, he thought. She must have only been thinking of our daughter.
Later that night, and for the first time in months, Miroku and Rin slept peacefully, wrapped in the arms of their proper mates, and on opposite ends of the castle complex.
Yeah, so HALP!
