A Hanyou's Love: Chapter 18

Jennifer Karnes, AKA Kagome-sama

Disclaimer: My birthday has come and gone. *sigh* I didn't get him…

*~ Kami, I got a lot of reviews! I'm so happy!!! So, I want to thank everyone who did review. There were a lot of you and I don't have the time to individually thank you all. But, I do remember a few questions that were asked. I got grounded for having 10 missing assignments in Geometry class and my teacher called my house about it.(Oooo, mom was pissed!) No, Kagome doesn't have twins in the series (as far as I know). I only put that because I wanted Kagome to have her little girl and InuYasha to have his little boy, so she's carrying twins.

Now, on with the chapter!

And to my Mediaminer readers: I forgot to edit these before posting, so don't mind the "Kagome-sama" after my name. Or the shout outs to my Fanfiction.net reviewers!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Let's go Kagome." InuYasha put an arm around Kagome's waist and jumped into the well.

A familiar pink light soon surrounded the two once again. Kagome smiled. She had missed her koi's embrace. After only a few seconds, they gently landed on Kagome's side of the well. InuYasha wrapped his arms around Kagome and jumped out. He released his hold on her but as soon as he did, she grabbed his hand and laced her fingers with his.

"Kagome? Do you think it's good idea for us to walk in holding hands?"

She simply nodded and walked towards the house, dragging InuYasha with her. He was nervous, even more then Kagome was.

"Relax InuYasha. Okaa-san's going to be happy for us." She gave his hand a small squeeze before pushing open the door. "Okaa-san! I'm home!"

Ms. Higurashi walked into the kitchen where she saw Kagome kicking off her shoes and holding InuYasha's hand. "Hello dear. I see you've brought InuYasha with you." That's when she really took a good look at her daughter. Kagome seemed different somehow, but she wasn't quite sure.

Kagome stepped into the light and her mother gasped. Kagome had ears, just like InuYasha's! "Kagome! You have inu ears! And silver streaks in your hair!"

"Momma, I need to talk to you. We have news." Kagome said with a nervous smile on her face as she took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Oh, and you have fangs too! You look so beautiful sweetie!" Ms. Higurashi sat across from her daughter and InuYasha sat next to Kagome.

"Momma, InuYasha and I, um, well we, umm…" Kagome couldn't seem to find the words to tell her mother.

"You and InuYasha got together?" Kagome nodded at her mother's words. "Oh sweetheart! I'm so happy for you!"

"Ms. Hig-"

"Please call me momma now InuYasha. You're family."

"Okay, momma. There's more then just that. I-I've taken Kagome as my mate." He couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes.

"Mate? Is that like a wife?" Ms. Higurashi asked, a little confused.

"Well, sort of. A mate is a husband or wife by youkai standards. I've marked her so no one else can have her." He still couldn't look her in the eyes.

"My little girl isn't so little anymore. Kagome, is there anything else you want to share with me?" Her voice was light and happy as she spoke, but it still made Kagome nervous.

"Hai." Kagome swallowed hard. "I'm pregnant with InuYasha's babies, momma."

"Babies?! As in, more then one!" Kagome nodded. "Oh sweetheart!" Ms. Higurashi jumped up and practically tackled her daughter.

InuYasha had a shocked expression on his face as well. `We're having more then one? How does she know?'

"So, you're okay with this momma?" Ms. Higurashi nodded. "Arigato for being so…"

"Understanding? I knew you loved him, and he loved you. I was really hoping the two of you would be together someday. It looks like I won't have to wait any longer!"

"Um, Kagome?" InuYasha tapped her shoulder to get her attention.

"Hai InuYasha."

"How do you know we're having more then one pup?"

"Kikyo told me I was having twins- a boy and a girl." If it were possible, InuYasha looked even more shocked then before. "She is finally at peace. Kikyo understands our love and is happy for us."

"So, are you going to marry my granddaughter or not?" Kagome's grandfather walked into the room to catch the end of the conversation.

`Good question… I want to marry him like humans do…' Kagome thought.

InuYasha thought about it for a moment the spoke. "Only if that's what Kagome wants. If she wants a human marriage, then fine, she'll have one."

"I still have to test you. Make sure you're worthy of my granddaughter." Her grandfather walked over to he refrigerator and pulled out a small bottle of sake. He poured it into a glass and handed it to InuYasha. "Drink this."

"Ne, too strong!" InuYasha covered his nose with his sleeve.

"Onegai InuYasha… If you don't, you and I can't be together." Kagome whispered in a small voice so only he could hear.

"Fine!" He took the sake and downed it in one quick motion. His eyes quickly went out of focus and his speech was slurred. "Noww wha?"

"Grandpa! What did you do to him?!" Kagome grabbed InuYasha so he wouldn't fall face first onto the table.

"I gave him undiluted sake so I could ask him a few questions and expect an honest answer."

"GRANDPA!"

"Calm down Kagome. It's family tradition to do this to any man that wants to marry into this family. Now I need you and your mother to leave."

"Alright Grandpa." Ms. Higurashi walked out of the kitchen, throwing Kagome an apologetic smile.

"Ne! I'm staying here!" Kagome shouted defiantly.

Her grandpa sighed. "Fine, you can stay…" He turned to InuYasha. "Now, do you think Kagome is attractive?"

"Yesh..."

"Okay, do you want to sleep with her?"

"GRANDPA!"

"Hush Kagome!"

"Uh huh…" InuYasha had a drunken grin on his face.

"Is that why you want to marry my granddaughter?"

"Hai…" Kagome's grandfather looked as if he was going to kill InuYasha.

"Nani?!" He shouted at the hanyou.

"…but I a'so l'uv her wit all my hart! She ssoo buteful! And sweet!" Kagome blushed at InuYasha's complements.

"Do you plan to take care of her and your children?"

"Hai! I protet them `til they can `ake care `emselves!" He looked up to Kagome with a sleepy puppy look on his face. " 'an we go `oo seep now?"

"Hai InuYasha, we can." She put an arm around him to help upstairs and into her room.

"So Grandpa, do they have your blessing?" Ms. Higurashi walked through the kitchen door.

He muttered. "Hai, she can marry him…"
