Till The End Of Time [Inuyasha Fanfiction ]
Chapter 38's

"You wait in front, and don't dare step foot in" Inukimi ordered Inuyasha with a smile on her face as they arrived in front of the house. "You'll just be a bully later."

Inuyasha stood staring with wide eyes upon hearing Inukimi's orders. Not caring about it, the former Western Land Ruler turned his head to look at his biological son, Sesshoumaru and smiled grinningly. "You too."

Sesshoumaru did not say anything, he remained silent in silence with an expressionless face. The Inuyoukai that gave birth to it really has a unique mind and likes it arbitrarily. Inukimi must know that, in fact, she doesn't want to be here. He was never interested or concerned in the slightest about the condition of his wife and step-son, moreover, the smell of blood, humans and hanyou who really disturbed his sense of smell. The only thing keeping him where he is right now is actually just one; it is Rin whose hand Inukimi tightly grips. He could not leave the girl with his mother without any insight, for it was possible that the inuyoukai took her away and would not return her again.

Seeing Sesshoumaru remaining calm, Inukimi's smile widened. He knew that his only son was troubled by his attitude now despite not showing it, and that made him even happier. He had never found a weakness or something that could disturb his son. No matter what he did, Sesshoumaru was always cold and indifferent. But, now that he knows, something that can make the precious inuyoukai high self is disturbed, annoyed or angry, that is; separate Rin from him.

"Mother," call Rin slowly. His big brown eyes sparkled at Inukimi. He was unable to hide the happiness of meeting his dear inuyoukai. Moreover he knew, the inuyoukai in front of him was definitely able to save Kagome and the baby. "Let Rin help, huh? Rin wants to help Mom. Mother need not be afraid, Rin used to often help Grandma Kaede carry out the birth process, so Rin will not be a bully."

Inukimi laughed at Rin's request. The attitude of his adopted daughter only made his plan to harass Sesshoumaru more smoothly. Something he liked and expected. "Yes. Mother does need your help, little Rin."

Sesshoumaru really did not like the attitude of his mother who so easily complied with Rin's request. Let Rin be inside? Let Rin help with the birth of a hanyou? Allow that clean white hand to be soiled with birth blood?

"Can you not waste any more time?" inuyasha said suddenly. The panic and fear on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and to be honest, there was resentment in his heart, as Inukimi looked very relaxed as if he did not care about the lives of Kagome and her son who were in danger. "Whatever you want to talk about! But, do that after Kagome and our son survive!"

Looking at Inuyasha, a small frown appeared on Inukimi's beautiful face. "Easy to panic, quick to fear and full of worry. It turns out that you inherited the attitude of that Sweet Izayoi, Son of Taisho."

Inuyasha's eyes widened, not expecting him to hear his mother's name from the mouth of his father's first wife. However, Inukimi did not care, indifferently and casually, she turned her head back to look at Rin. Smile back on his face. "Come, little Rin, let's welcome the birth of the innuanyou in her mother's womb."

Rin chuckled while nodding his head. Looking at Inuyasha, he smiled widely. "Calm down, Inuyasha-sama. Kagome-sama and your baby will definitely be fine."

Rin's smile made Inuyasha again stunned. Again the smile, a beautiful smile that could make the panic and fear in his heart disappear. It was as if there was something in that smile, something unexplainable. Wondering inwardly, only you can think, is that the reason? That smile was what made Sesshoumaru allow the human girl to be by his side all this time? The smile that makes the inuyoukai high-pitched and human-hating is always guarding and protecting him? If that was the case, then Sesshoumaru was truly extremely greedy! The Inuyoukai was always guarding and hiding the precious treasures of the human race by his side all this time.

Rin then turned his head to look at Sesshoumaru who was still silent with an expressionless face. Staring at those golden eyes, he knew, the inuyoukai did not quite agree with his decision to help with the birthing process that would be done. However, even so, those inuyoukai would not stop him either. Never binding, yet always guarding and protecting, there was every moment she needed it, it was the nature of Sesshoumaru— that Rin loved so much. Releasing his hand that Inukimi was holding, Rin walked up to Sesshoumaru. His small hand slowly raised the hand of the Western Land Ruler's inuyoukai claw to touch his right cheek. "It's okay, Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin will soon return to your side when everything is done..."

Rin's unexpected attitude and behavior, Inuyasha and Inukimi were really very surprised. However, the most surprising thing, was probably Sesshoumaru's attitude. The Inuyoukai was indeed just staring at the human girl, however, not the slightest bit did he pull over or look objected to what Rin was doing.

"Do what you want, Rin..."

"Akhhhh!" yell Kagome in pain. His body kept convulsing withstanding the pain that plagued him.

"What should we do, Kaede-san, Jinenji-san?" ask Sango in panic. His face had turned deathly pale.

Kaede and Jinenji did not answer, their heads trying hard to think of a way to save the future miko and hanyou in her womb. They don't know what to do. This birthing process is quite different from the process of giving birth to humans and hanyou in general, there is no amniotic fluid, there is only blood. Also, there is no visible head, legs or limbs of the baby in the womb that comes out.

"Granny Kaede! Jinenji-sama! Sango-sama!" rin shouted suddenly while opening the door of the room.

Everyone in the room turned their heads to the open door. Their eyes widened when they saw the figure of Inukimi standing behind Rin. They did not know what to say, and also, they did not feel the slightest sense of the existence of the Inuyoukai former Western Land Ruler until now.

Rin who did not care the slightest bit of feeling surprised they immediately stepped foot in. A big smile on her beautiful face. "Grandmother Kaede, Jinenji-sama, Sango-sama and Kagome-sama, Mother will help the birth of the baby Inuyasha-sama and Kagome-sama."

A feeling of shock filled the hearts of all of them, as if they could not believe what they heard. Staring at Inukimi, they were all silent a thousand languages.

"Trust me, everything will end smoothly and well." Rin smiled again while looking at everything, giving confidence and spirit.

Inukimi who saw the reaction of all who were there as usual, did not care about it. Stepping foot in, he looked at Kagome who was lying helplessly on top of the futon. "Hanyou," he said slowly. "Your child will not be born like a human baby in general, strange miko."

"Eh?" everyone who was surprised. Their eyes all stared at the confused inuyoukai former Western Land Ruler.

"Inuhanyou's baby is much bigger than a typical human child. A man's birth canal will never pass through a baby."

"What?!"

"And also, the mother's womb of an inuyoukai or an inuhanyou does not have amniotic fluid as usual. What is there is blood. For our clan, it is not amniotic fluid, but the blood of birth." continued Inukimi again while staring at the pale faces of all that was. However, a moment later he closed his eyes and threw away his face. "Why do I explain all this to you guys, huh? It turns out I'm getting old and senile."

"Then, b-how to save Kagome and the baby?" ask Sango stammering. He doesn't know what else to do.

Sango's question managed to get Inukimi's golden eyes back open. Lifting up her index finger that had sharp and pointed claws, a grinning smile flashed over her beautiful face. "With this."

Inuyasha walked here and there. His face was pale with worry. He was unable to calm himself down no matter how he convinced himself that things would go well and his wives would be safe.

Sesshoumaru who stood leaning his body against a tree beside Inuyasha's house did not say anything as usual. Both of his eyes were covered with faces without any excretion. In contrast to the confused and panicked Inuyasha, in fact, he knew what was going on inside the house. His sense of hearing and his ability to read auras had made him know clearly what Inukimi was going to do.

While Miroku, Kohaku, Myoga, Jaken and Miroku's sons, can only sit quietly not far from the two brothers, staring at them in silence.

"Yes, Maya," call Miroku suddenly. "You see Inuyasha's attitude now. You know, that's also the attitude of the father on the day you were born."

"Eh?" exclaimed Aya, Maya was surprised. However, they had not had time to say anything, Mamoru had cut off the conversation excitedly. "Dad! What about Mamoru!? Did you not like that on the day Mamoru was born?"

The sudden question of his son, made Miroku stare at Mamoru. Looking at the answer, he tilted his head. "No..," Miroku explained slowly. "Father is not like that on the day of your birth, Mamoru. On the day of your birth, Father and Inuyasha were in the process of exterminating the youkai. When you get home, you're born."

"What?" shouted Mamoru. The expression on his excited face instantly disappeared, replaced stunned and full of disbelief.

Miroku who felt guilty seeing the facial expression of the only boy, could only laugh nervously and immediately embraced the small body. "It's okay, Mamoru. Even though I wasn't like that on your birth day, your love for you, is like your love for your two brothers. So don't be sad" comfort Miroku. "Fear and confusion, you will feel it when your wife gives birth to your first child. All the men who became a husband would feel that" Her black eyes then aimed at Kohaku who was staring at her. "You too, Kohaku. Later when the woman who became your wife gave birth to your first child, you will also be like that."

"Eh?" kohaku exclaimed in surprise at the words Miroku addressed to him.

"That's right," Myoga added as he nodded his head. "I remember when Inukimi-sama gave birth to Sesshoumaru-sama. Inu no Taisho is like that too."

The kid? Wife? Kohaku's face instantly turned a crimson red as he imagined the figure of a woman holding her baby while smiling gently. He could clearly imagine the face of the woman, the face of the girl who had always been his dream, the face of—

"Gr..."

A slow growling sound suddenly rang out and then made what Kohaku thought disappear. Looking at the source of the voice, he found a pair of golden eyes of Sesshoumaru staring intently at him. Fear soon fills him, as does Miroku, his sons, and Myoga. They had no idea what was happening, but they all felt that perhaps the sound of their conversation had disturbed the inuyoukai.

"Silence to all of you!" yelled Jaken quickly. He did not know what made his master angry. But, Sesshomaru's anger was definitely not something he expected, even though he was his subordinate.

Sesshoumaru did not like the conversation he heard. Moreover, when he saw Kohaku's dead red face when he thought of Miroku's words. He knew, whose face the young taijiya had in mind when thinking about his future wife. And he won't let it! How dare a lowly human being seem to think that way!

"Akhhhh!" the frustrated Inuyasha's shout suddenly shocked everyone but Sesshoumaru. Ruffling his long silver hair, he turned his head to look at his half-brother. "Shoumaru!" call him while shouting. His right hand quickly clasped Tessaiga's sword gang in the waist. "Retract Bakusaigamu! Fight me! Stop this pressure! I know you can!"

"Rather than waiting and facing the pressure of the wife who gave birth to her first child, it turns out that she would rather risk her life in a life fight as a bet," Miroku muttered softly looking at Inuyasha and sighed. "Typical Inuyasha..."

Sesshoumaru stared for a moment at Inuyasha. However, he quickly threw away his face and closed his eyes. He does not want and does not have time to serve the stupidity of only you half blood brother now.

Seeing Sesshoumaru not reacting in the slightest, Inuyasha immediately walked over. In his heart, he was already determined, no matter how, he would make his half-brother fight him. Perhaps by punching, clawing or swinging a sword at him, importantly, he would make an inuyoukai in front of it help him remove the pressure he was feeling right now.

"Seshou-" call Inuyasha again. However, as he had not yet finished his words, an unusually strong Kagome scream sound rang out from inside their house.

"Ohhhhhhh!"

"Ohhhh!"

"Hold his hands and feet, don't let him move one bit." Inukimi orders while staring at Sango, Kaede and Jinenji who are holding Kagome's hands and feet. His index finger that had a sword-sharp fingernail had now moved to dissect Kagome's large belly.

Rin who was staring at what Inukimi was doing could only keep silent with a deathly pale face. She had never seen a birth like this. How appalling. However, he believed in Inukimi. That Inuyoukai can definitely save the lives of Kagome and her baby.

"Oahhhh! This is a ceaser operesi!" yelled Kagome suddenly. The overwhelming pain he felt as there was no dope made his mind unable to think calmly anymore. "Operation ceaser turned out to have existed since the time of sengoku jidai in Japan! Medical science in Japan turned out to have been very advanced in this era!"

Inukimi, who saw Kagome screaming, desperately endured the pain, paused for a moment to cut open the future woman's stomach. Both of his eyebrows immediately linked. "No matter human or youkai, it turns out that only women experience the pain of childbirth. The male would just sit back in front waiting," closing his eyes for a moment, he recalled the times he gave birth to Sesshoumaru, his only son. "It's not fair.."

Inukimi's words managed to make Kagome stop shouting. His eyes stared straight at the inuyoukai in front, not caring about the sweat that kept flowing down from his forehead. "That's right!" suddenly shouted. "This pain! Only women know! The men are always willing! They would not be able to possibly understand this sick feeling! And they would not be able to possibly hold it! They are all weak! A coward! You idiot! Heaven under my feet! That's why!"

Inukimi nodded her head in response to what Kagome had said, while the others looked at Kagome confusedly, because at times like this, she still had time to curse like that, she said, although deep in Sango's heart also strongly agree, because he also understands the pain of childbirth. Kaede who has never given birth to a child can only shake her head. For Jinenji who was the only male in the room, he could only bow his head down and hope that he did not hear what Kagome was throwing. Then for Rin who did not understand anything, he could only try to digest what he heard.

"If you still have the energy to shout like this," continued Inukimi again while looking at the funny Kagome and laughing. "I think your son's inuhanyou birth process will end smoothly, strange miko."

"Yes!" reply Kagome again. "However! I don't want to face this all alone! Inuyasha must feel it too! Because that's...."

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"It's wrong I entrusted Kagome to your mother!" inuyasha shouted frantically looking at Sesshoumaru who still did not move a bit from his place. "If anything happens to Kagome and our son, I'll kill you both!"

Sesshoumaru still did not move. He already knew Inuyasha was stupid, but, he had not expected it to reach this level. Kill him and his mother if his wives don't survive? Killing the second strongest inuyoukai in the world? Sesshoumaru wanted to see how the weak hanyou did it. And honestly, when did Inuyasha entrust the lives of his wives to him? Under these circumstances, does he still have a choice?

Not caring for Sesshoumaru anymore, Inuyasha instantly turned around. Both of his legs immediately ran quickly towards his house. He no longer cared about Inukimi's orders telling him to wait. Fuck all that! He wanted to be next to Kagome now!

However, just three steps Inuyasha stepped up, the sound of Kagome's extremely powerful and continuous cries rang out breaking the silence.

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"Akhhhhh!" an unusually strong gravitational pressure immediately pressed Inuyasha's body down to the ground. He could not stand, because the perceived gravitational pressure was constantly showering himself along with the word 'osuwari' which Kagome shouted.

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

"Ofucking!"

Inuyasha could not move a little more, raising his trembling hand, he tried to crawl, although everything was in vain because the word 'osuwari' was heard again.

Holding Mamoru, Miroku walked up to Inuyasha who had fallen helplessly on the ground. Laughing little, he patted his friend's shoulder. "If Kagome has the strength to shout like this" he said slowly. "Then believe me, the birth of your first child will go very smoothly."

What happened after that, Rin himself actually did not remember much, everything felt very fast. Accompanied by the cry of 'osuwari' in lieu of the cry of pain from Kagome, the large brown eyes of the human girl saw Inukimi tear the belly of the miko. The inuyoukai hand quickly infiltrated into Kagome's stomach and pulled out the baby inuanyou with a blood-soaked man.

"Oaaa! Ohhhhh!" The sound of an inuanyou cry that for the first time inhaled air immediately filled the entire room.

"was born! Was born! Your son is born, Kagome!" sango shouted joyfully while staring at Kagome. His hand that was holding Kagome's arm was immediately released.

"Hold her hand, stupid Taijiya!" inukimi's orders were suddenly filled with anger staring at Sango. "It's not finished yet!"

Surprised, Sango held back Kagome's arm. His two eyes stared at the bewildered inuyoukai, as well as everything else.

Inukimi quickly cuts off the newborn inuhanyou's ari and gives up on Rin. "Clean her body and wrap it with a cloth, little Rin. You can do it, right?"

Rin immediately nodded her head and accepted the baby, carrying out what Inukimi had ordered. As for Inukimi, she returned to face Kagome. His two hands, quickly pulled out a needle and thread from behind the collar of his kimono. "Hold firmly." he ordered again without staring at Sango, Kaede and Jineji who were holding Kagome. Sipping his hand into Kagome's stomach again, Inukimi quickly cleared the placenta in Kagome's uterus and sewed the tissue she had cut.

Rin who bathed the newborn baby, could only be stunned. The Inuhyou in his arms was now truly the biggest and most handsome baby he had seen so far. Like Inuyasha, she has silver hair with two dog ears, white skin, and when both eyes are closed it opens, what the human girl saw was a pair of perfectly clear pure gold colored eyeballs. A smile immediately flashed on Rin's face. "Welcome to this world, little baby."

Finished bathing the newborn baby and dressing him in cloth, Rin immediately turned his back to stare at Kagome, Inukimi and the others. He was unable to hide his smile when he saw that they had all stopped doing what they had just done. Kagome though weak and pale, looked fine.

"Get clean, especially the seams. I've been using yarns and youkai-made needles that are very clean and strong. I don't want this weird miko to have an infection that leads to death." Inukimi told Jinenji and Kaede. The Inuyoukai know that the task of restoring Kagome's health now depends on the two of them.

"Kagome-sama." call Rin with a smile and approach Kagome. "Male. Your son is a man! She looks a lot like Inuyasha-sama!"

Although very difficult and painful, Kagome tried to get up from the futon where she lay. Sango who saw it, immediately helped him. Using his body, he supported the body of his friend slowly and carefully.

Smiling again, Rin immediately handed the baby in her cradle to Kagome. She knew, the miko must be eager to hold her baby right now, holding the most precious treasure she had obtained by risking her life.

Kagome's two hands shook violently as she received her baby from Rin into her arms. And when he saw the face of his biological son for the first time, when his black eyes met his son's golden eyes, tears fell down his cheeks. His heart felt very tight because of happiness.

His son was very handsome, the most handsome baby he had ever seen. White, silver-haired, pure gold-eyed and had a face very similar to Inuyasha's. Laughing with tears, Kagome lowered her face and gently kissed her baby's forehead. The suffering, fear, pain he felt from pregnancy to childbirth seemed to disappear. If that's what she had to do to be able to hold her baby, to carry this miracle, then, everything is appropriate. Deservedly so!

Everyone was smiling at Kagome. How beautiful and peaceful the sight before those eyes was. Love and affection of a mother.

"Rin, will call Inuyasha-sama in, huh?" rin said suddenly while standing up. Not wasting any time, he immediately stood up and ran open the room shoji door. However, before he stepped foot out, he found Inuyasha who was crawling slowly to get inside, with Miroku, Kohaku, Jaken, Myoga, Aya, Maya and Mamoru.

Raising her face, Inuyasha looked at Kagome full of annoyance and anger. "K-Kagome, what do you mean keep on posing" Inuyasha's words instantly came to a halt as he looked at the Kagome that was in front of him. His heart stopped beating for a moment. Although pale, weak and disheveled, with a happy smile filled with tears and a small baby in his arms, Kagome was like shining, she looked so beautiful, she looked so beautiful, it was so beautiful that she could not find the word to describe it.

"Inuyasha.." call Kagome on her happy sobs. "Our son.. Our son was born.."

The gravitational pressure that hit Inuyasha's body since then seemed to suddenly disappear. Nah! Not disappeared! Inuyasha knew, even though the gravitational pressure he had to face was now a thousand times heavier, it would all be impossible to hold himself back from running towards Kagome and his son!

Running as hard as he could, regardless of everything, Inuyasha immediately approached Kagome. Kneeling beside Kagome, his two eyes stared in disbelief at his wives. "K-Kagome, k-you, a-our children, are you okay?"

Kagome just smiled at Inuyasha's question. Lowering her carrier, she showed their son's face for the first time to her husband.

Looking at her son's face, seeing the golden eyes identical to her staring straight at him, Inuyasha lost her voice with her mouth open. He could no longer describe his feelings. Shocked, confused, fascinated, stunned and happy, all those feelings were mixed together into one. Then, maybe it was because it had recognized who the inuanyou in front of him, the baby inuanyou immediately laughed a little surprising to both parents together.

"Maha.." Inuyasha laughed. Her gaze that was staring straight endlessly at the baby suddenly became blurry. He could feel the warm water had now fallen down his cheeks. It's okay, maybe he'll be labeled a whiny right now, but it's all really okay now. Raising both hands, he immediately hugged tightly, but slowly his wife and children. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kagome. T-thank you for giving me a family!"

How happy Inuyasha was now, he himself was completely unable to describe it anymore. There are no words that can explain it.

Families.

He finally has the perfect family. He who since childhood never had a whole family, now has had it. And to Kagome and her son, she swore, would always be by their side, loving, guarding, protecting, keeping them from any danger that might come. He knew he could do it all, for that was his duty; his duty as a husband and father from now on.

Kagome chuckles at her sniffles. Feeling the warmth of Inuyasha's embrace, she knew, her happiness was complete. Closing his eyes, his mind flew away thinking of his mother, grandfather and sister in the future. Although they could not celebrate the birth of his son together, he knew, the family would also laugh and smile happily when they learned of the birth of their great-granddaughter, granddaughter or niece.

No one said a word, Rin, Inukimi, Sango and the others just stared at the haru incident in front of them with smiles on their faces. If only they could, they were eager to capture the image before it in the painting now. The painting they knew would definitely be very beautiful.

Releasing Inuyasha's embrace after a few seconds, Kagome smiled gently and handed their son to her husband. "Inuyasha, hold on."

Faced again, Inuyasha with trembling hands and carefully held his son for the first time. He could not say anything, as his son's weight was felt on both arms. His golden eyes twinkled at his biological son. There was pride in itself as she looked at how similar her son was to her.

"Inuyasha-sama," called Rin who was suddenly beside Inuyasha with a smile on his face. "Who's your baby's name?"

Rin's sudden question instantly grabs Inuyasha and Kagome's attention. They were stunned, for indeed, until now, because of Kagome's condition before giving birth, no one had ever thought of the baby's name.

"His name.." muttered Kagome palan in confusion. However, Inuyasha who was holding the baby suddenly took a breath and smiled at Rin. "You give it to me, Rin."

Rin's eyes widened to hear Inuyasha's words, as well as everything else.

"It was you who taught me that panic, arrogance, pride, fear and pride would only make me lose Kagome and our son. " It was clear Inuyasha was smiling.

"R-rin didn't do anything, Inuyasha-sama." cut Rin quickly.

Inuyasha shook his head. "No. You're the one who gave me the strength to go through this, Rin. Because of that, you're the one most deserving of giving our son a name."

"T-but-"

"Although I don't remember clearly," cut Kagome with a smile. "I know you are the one who calms Inuyasha down, pleading and continuing to convince all that the birth of our son will go smoothly. Inuyasha's right. You're the one who deserves the name of her the most."

Rin was stunned to hear Kagome's words. He didn't feel like he had done anything, all he did was monotonize. The one who carried out this birthing process was Inukimi, not herself. "But.."

"No but-but again," cut Inuyasha again and handed her son to Rin. "You gave it a name."

Receiving the inuyoukai baby full of confusion, Rin immediately stared at everything, especially Inukimi. However, the moment he saw everything there was smiling and nodding his head at him. A beautiful smile immediately flashed on her beautiful face. Head down to look at the baby, she laughed. It's okay, right? It's okay, right, if he takes this honor and names his master's nephew?

"Shiro." said Rin gently. "His name is Shiro. Shiro means white. Because he was born white and silver hair as white. Rin hopes, Rin prays, Shiro will grow up with the same heart as his name, a heart that is always white and untainted. Shiro is always white and clean."
