A Mother Miko's Instincts - Chapter 22

By Majicman55

 

 

Naraku/Oshirimaru fled north. The irony of it all was that in losing most of the youkai from Sesshomaru's castle, and in losing another of InuYasha and Kagome's children, the combination creature's internal battle that was canceling its own powers had abated as well.

 

This didn't mean that they didn't try to rebuild their power.

 

The problem was that every time they spied a youkai and absorbed it, the internal battle rekindled till they were forced to eject the youkai from their system. Thus they left an easy-to-follow trail of confused and grossed out youkai in their wake.

 

Not that Kagome couldn't follow them anyway, as could Miroku…the miko because she instinctively knew where Aoimaru was headed, the monk for somewhat more prurient reasons.

 

“Why are you sweeping your hands back and forth that way, Miroku?” asked Sango as the pair rode Kirara northward. Sango also wondered why her husband had insisted on riding up front.

 

“Um. I am using my…spiritual powers…to help locate the creature.”

 

InuYasha had overheard the whole conversation. “Oi! He's our ass detector.”

 

“Your what?”

 

Kagome actually giggled despite the seriousness of their situation. “He can feel it when his hands are pointing towards a really nice ass.”

 

Suddenly the monk could feel two angry eyes burning their way into the back of his skull. “…which is why I insisted you ride in back, dear Sango. Otherwise, you would have interfered with my ability to…”

 

Sango interrupted the monk. “Kagome!”

 

“Yes?” Kagome answered from her perch on InuYasha's back.

 

“Is it true that you can find the creature without Miroku's help?”

 

“Yes, I think so.”

 

<THUNK>

 

“Good.”

 

InuYasha just shook his head. “I actually feel sorry for him this time.”

 

After a few more minutes of travel, InuYasha couldn't stand it any longer. “Oi. Did you mean what you said last night?”

 

“Huh? About what?”

 

“About gettin' pregnant again.”

 

“Oh,” Kagome giggled. “I guess it's theoretically possible. If the youkai healing ability I got from you interpreted my birth control as an illness, it's possible it would `heal' me. Then I could get pregnant.”

 

“But that didn't happen?”

 

“Well-l-l…”

 

“Kagome!”

 

“Nahhhh.” Kagome smirked. “I know it's not an illness, and I'm pretty much in tune with my body. I think I'd have to actually will it to `heal' me to make it work.” On one of InuYasha's leaps, Kagome leaned down next to her mate's ear and whispered, “Want me to do it? Your seed is still inside me, you know.”

 

InuYasha nearly barrel rolled them both on his next landing and leap. “Don't do that to me!”

 

Kagome stroked her mate's ears. “You know, I could probably decide to `heal' myself anytime I wanted to. You'd never know…”

 

“Feh!”

 

 

******************

 

 

Up above the couple, Kagura rode her feather beside Sesshomaru, who was riding one of his clouds. “I like her. She's evil…”

 

Sesshomaru raised one eyebrow.

 

“…but in a good way,” Kagura sniggered.

 

“Indeed.” The Great Lord of the Western Lands was no fool. He had deduced what Kagome meant when she talked about birth control and would talk with the miko about it later. When the wind witch went into heat, it drove him crazy, but mating at that time would almost inevitably result in another pup…or pups.

 

Sesshomaru had this vision of himself sitting in his castle with said pups crawling all over him. Not that he minded breeding with Kagura, but, especially under the influence of the oversexed miko from the future, the likelihood of being overwhelmed by sheer numbers was looking greater.

 

Besides, it might be…nice…to mate with Kagura while she was in heat…without having to worry about creating more pups. One thing worried him, though: the talk about using youkai healing powers to cancel the birth control. Kagura wouldn't do that to him…would she?

 

The Great Lord of the Western Lands glanced over to his mate.

 

Kagura was paying half her attention to where they were going, and the other half was spent on cooing to the pup inside her.

 

“This Sesshomaru is in deep dog doodoo.”

 

“What was that, Fluffy?”

 

“Nothing…and don't call me Fluffy!”

 

 

******************

 

 

Naraku/Oshirimaru was in a panic. It didn't help that Oshirimaru had developed morning sickness, aggravated by the stress of their flight, and insisted on using the Naraku part of the creature to vomit about once an hour. And it also didn't help that this had slowed their flight to such a degree that they were in imminent danger of being captured.

 

“This is all your fault, Kikyo,” hissed Naraku.

 

“Puff-My-puff-fault? Puff-You're-puff-the-puff-one-puff-who-pufffff-decided-puff-to-puff-mate.&# 8221;

 

“Shut up.”

 

“Puff-And-puff-stop-puff-calling-puff-me-puff-Kikyo. Puff-I-puff-am-puff-not-puff-Kikyo. Puff-The-puff-name-puff-is-pufffff-O-shi-ri-ma-ru.”

 

“Shut up.”

 

“Puff-Repeat-puff-after-puff-me. Pufffff-O-shi-ri-ma-ru.”

 

“Just shut up.”

 

“Puff-I-puff-think-puff-I'm-puff-getting-puff-gas.”
