InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Ai no Unmei ❯ Whenever You Call ( Chapter 3 )

Ai no Unmei

 

Sorry, sorry, SORRY for the long wait on this chapter…just haven't been having many ideas for this one…but I've had much luck with new fics which I shall be posting in the near future…and I've been having a few general life problem. ANYWAY I hope you enjoy this chapter! (There wasn't going to be a song, but I found one just as I was typing this up. It's `Whenever You Call' by Mariah Carey and Brian McKnight)

Chapter Three: Whenever You Call (Thought Filled Night)

 

Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
We can only turn into one

 

Inuyasha awoke to a stream of moonlight shining down onto his eyes. He attempted to shift around but found he couldn't because of a light weight resting on him. He averted his eyes downward to his newly acquired mate, sleeping with a look of contentment in his arms. Her pale skin and raven hair were illuminated fully in the light of the moon. There was something different about her, but he shrugged it off as nothing. His thoughts ran free with the new factor that Kagome was now a permanent part of his life. Many would frown upon their little rendezvous for they had been reunited, and joined in less than a day, but no one else's opinion mattered as long as they were both happy.

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call

Inuyasha reflected upon what would have happened if he actually had gone with Kikyo to hell in the death…he surely wouldn't have been able to realize his true potential was with Kagome…nor would have known that she could bring this much peace, serenity, and joy to his life. Just as well, Kikyo only wanted his death, and when she wasn't just a body of earth and bones and a being of the living world, she wanted him to be a human for her. She never wanted him for who he was. All she wanted was to be rid of the burden of the Shikon no Tama. He was her excuse to erase the jewel from the world so no one would come after her again. She deceived him, used him…her doings were all an act, she never really loved him…that worthless excuse of a Shinto priestess. Inuyasha's veins pulsed and burned at the thought of his former love. He was still mortified that he had actually thought Kikyo loved him and wanted to be with him. Kagome moved slightly and Inuyasha's mind was ridden of all the morbid thoughts of the twice-dead miko. Now he knew Kagome was the only one for him, because she loved him for what and who he was, and wanted only the best for him. How he had managed to stay sane in the ten years he and Kagome had been apart was unbeknownst to him…but now she was with him, and that's all that mattered.

And I'm truly inspired
Finding my soul
There in your eyes
And you
Have opened my heart
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised

He held her closer to him, only slightly tightening his grip on her. The last thing he needed was for them to fall from their position on the top branch of Goshinboku. Inuyasha knew for a fact that Kagome would do some serious `sitting'. He placed a light kiss on the top of her head and slowly he allowed his eyes to close again, and drifted off into a dreamless sleep. A dreamless sleep for him was nothing, he had spent most of his life sleeping this way, and he was now living his dream: a mate of kind-heart, friends or high loyalty, and a reassurance that his life was going in the right direction.

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call

Kagome awoke shortly after Inuyasha had returned to sleep to a deep jab of pain in her lower abdomen. She attempted to shift around to relieve herself of the pangs, but that proved impossible because she was being sustained by a pair of strong arms around her waist. She looked down and saw the arms clothed in a red haori, and immediately realized whose arms she so comfortably laid. A smile tugged at her lips as she remembered that she was now bound to a certain hanyou by way of youkai terms. The pain faded away, as she glanced upward diagonally to take in the face of her Inuyasha. She loved the concept of that…she and Inuyasha were eternally joined and could now call each other their own. She knew the one-day `quickie' style mating would be looked down on, especially because Inuyasha was only half, but she didn't care, no one could ruin their relationship or cause her to have second thoughts. She couldn't wait to tell her mother and family about the news.

And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside

She was truly happy that Inuyasha actually did have affection for her and had decided to spend the rest of forever with her. She couldn't figure out how she had spent the past ten years in such good spirits…because in Kagome also couldn't even bare the thought what would have happened if Inuyasha had actually gone with the one she had been reincarnated to hell. That void in her heart would have really gotten bigger and stronger.

Another shocking pain passed through her lower abdomen. She pressed her hand to the throbbing area and hissed in agony. Soon it faded and Kagome was able to relax back into Inuyasha's arms. She looked downward and realized where she and Inuyasha rested; she quickly snapped her eyes shut and pressed her head onto Inuyasha's chest, trying to forget her fear of heights. She shrugged off thinking about the pain, it was probably just a hunger pain anyway, and had another attempt at sleep. Her sleep was filled with short dream-sequences of what her new life was going to be like.

All the dreams were joyful, and full of liveliness, except for one…

Kagome held a small figure in swaddling clothes in her arms. A huge grin was bestowed upon her face as she rocked the figure lightly. Inuyasha stood behind her, a hand rested on her shoulder, a smile beset on his face as well. She began to lift the layers of blankets around the figure's head.

The layers of blankets went on forever…one white cloth after another. Inuyasha removed his hand from Kagome's shoulder and frowned. He began to speak, but it was barely audible as he began to fade away into the now darkened room, a glare fixated on his face.

All Kagome could do was look on at the vanishing hanyou, and silently cry out. Soon a spot of warm crimson liquid appeared on the blankets. A scream built its way up from her stomach and up to her vocals.

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ ^~^~^~

 

Kagome slowly came to as a caring yet concerned voice coaxed her, a light pressure was placed on her shoulder. She opened her eyes to meet an amber gaze. It took a few moments but Kagome finally realized Inuyasha was the voice of reason, and her back was now against the base of Goshinboku. She remembered the dream and began to cry, tears falling simultaneously from her eyes.

 

Inuyasha embraced her and stroked her hair, uttering short reassurances in her ear. Her quiet fit of sobs wracked each of their bodies, and he tried to sustain them. Inuyasha just kept coaxing Kagome, trying to calm her down into a coherent state. He couldn't stand it when she was unhappy, especially now that she was his mate.

 

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call

 

“Baby…gone…dead…you…left too…” Kagome began to manage words between sobs, but to Inuyasha the words were just innocent ramblings. She kept repeating that single phrase and he was desperately trying to make sense of them as the thought of Kagome actually meaning something dawned on Inuyasha.

 

It seemed as if eternities past when Inuyasha finally made a revelation and Kagome had finally calmed down. It finally fit together. The change in Kagome's aura, the supposed pains she had been having, the dream. Kagome was…

 

“Koishii, I think you may be pregnant…”

 

She looked up with red, puffy eyes into his amber gaze. “Already?” she murmured.

 

“Hai,”

 

A moment's past when a smile tugged at Kagome's lips and she pulled Inuyasha into a tight embrace.

 

Another blissful event…again, in the whole of not even a day…

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ ^~^~^~^~^~
