~~~~~~~~~~

In the palace of the Northern Lands, the air was still, every human and demon were holding their breath waiting for the moment when the heir would be born. Outside of the birthing chamber was their Lord Noaki, anxiously waiting for his wife, Lady Kotoko, to finish the birthing process.

Lord Noaki was not alone, with him was his friend for many years the Lord of the Western Lands, Lord InuTashio. Lord InuTashio was watching his friend fret and sweat over his first child's delivery. Little did he know that he would be blessed with twins. Yes, he knew this for he could hear three heartbeats emitting from Lady Kotoko, but he did not let his friends know for he believed they should be surprised.

Lord InuTashio walked over to Lord Noaki and laid his clawed hand on his shoulder. "Noaki, my friend, relax. Everything will be fine. Kotoko is strong she will get through this, and your heir will be born sooner if you stop fretting." InuTashio smiled, and squeezed his friend's shoulder in reassurance. Lord Noaki turned and looked at his friend in the eyes and said, "If I remember correctly Tashio… When Lady Reira was having your first born, Sesshoumaru, you were about ready to tear the Palace of the West down to the ground."

Noaki looked at his friend, and watched as the Almighty InuTashio turned his head away in complete embarrassment. Smiling and deciding he will spare his friend he changed the subject."Speaking of the boy….. Where is Sesshoumaru? I have not seen him in a couple years. What has he been up to?" 

InuTashio sighed and said, "Sesshoumaru has been roaming the Western Lands. He wants to know the lands better anyone else. He also believes it will help make him a better Lord for the Lands then I am." He shook his head thinking of his oldest son. Noaki laughed and asked, "So, where is he now?" "I sent for him the after we got your letter about Kotoko wanting Izayoi here for her. He is now at the Western Palace watching over things. He will be here for the ball you will soon be throwing for the announcement and introduction to your heir."

Lord Noaki was about to reply when he heard a scream come from the birthing room. Soon afterwards he heard the wailing of new born baby, and such loud high pitched wails have never sounded so beautiful to Lord Noaki in his entire life. Then, he heard a second cry coming from behind the doors. He turned to his friend, unsure about what to do. Lord InuTashio could do nothing, but refrain from laughing at his friends surprised face.

As he was trying to keep himself composed he asked, "Are you surprised Noaki?" Lord Noaki looked his friend and said "Yes, I am, but you are not. You knew didn't you? Why did you not inform me of such things!" "Noaki, my friend, if I had told you about this earlier I would not have had the joy of seeing your face as I just did." Noaki looked at his dear old friend and laughed. "Next time Tashio, please share secrets that would be incredibly precious to me. I do not think I can take surprises like that again."

Then the doors to the birthing chambers were opened, and out came the midwife's assistant. She looked at the two regal lords and bowed. When she rose she looked at Lord Noaki and said,"My Lord, Lady Kotoko has had two healthy baby girls, and I have been sent to invite you both into the room. Lady Kotoko and Lady Izayoi are taking care of the babies."

Lord Noaki rushed into the room without so much as a second glance to young girl, and Lord InuTashio just scowled at his friends rudeness. He then dismissed it because he too would want to see his mate and pups as soon as possible. He looked to the young girl and said, "Thank You, little one. I think you should return into the room and help the midwife." "Yes, My Lord"

Lord InuTashio let the young assistant into the room first, and followed behind her. The site he was greeted with was one to remember. His closest friends were holding their first children, and the love his life was sitting beside her bestfriend doing baby talk to child in her arms.

"Well, I see two beautiful baby girls in here, and from what I can tell they are as healthy as I am." He looked to his friends and asked, "So, what are their names?"

Lady Kotoko was the one to answer his question. "Well, Noaki and I were thinking of names, and we were stuck when it came to a girl name because there was two that we really loved, Kagome and Kikyou. So, now I guess we can use both."

InuTashio smiled and said, "So, who is who? I would like to know the names of my nieces!" Lord Noaki walked over to his friend with one of his daughters in his arms and said, "This Princess right here is our first born, and so she shall be my heir. Her name is Kagome and the Princess in Kotoko's arms is our Kikyou." Lord InuTashio smiled down to the baby in his friends arms, and looked over to the one in Lady Kotoko's arms. "Hmm….They are almost completely identical. Such small subtle differences are what separate the two. Kagome, has deep ocean blue eyes and bluish/black hair, and Kikyou has beautiful brown eyes with dark brown hair. They are beautiful my friends, and I congratulate you on your beautiful daughters!"
