Chapter 15 - Unwanted Appearances

Kagome hugged Inuyasha back like she'd never let go. He seemed to have the same idea in mind, but Mrs. Higurashi chose that precise moment to walk down the stairs. Seeing the two in a deep embrace, she rushed over, thinking there was something wrong.

"Sweetie, are you two alright?" She touched Kagome's shoulder gently, and her daughter looked up at her with glistening eyes and a beaming face. She looked at Inuyasha quickly, then looked back at her mother before hugging the woman.

"I'm pregnant Mom," she whispered. Her mother smiled gently and rubbed Kagome's back, gazing silently at Inuyasha. He shuffled nervously, still uncomfortable and shy around the kind woman. He never felt like he really belonged...

Some movement took place, and before he knew it, he was being embraced by Kagome's mom.

"Thank you Inuyasha, thank you for loving my daughter," she said with a broken voice. The poor hanyou just smiled timidly and patted the woman on the head. So maybe he did belong...

"Let him breathe Mom..." Kagome giggled, "You're going to suffocate him."

"I think that's the point," he grumbled breathlessly. Mrs. Higurashi stumbled back, laughing and crying. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hands, much like Kagome was doing. Inuyasha shook his head. What was with girls and crying at everything? At least he could hold it in...

Kagome walked back over to Inuyasha and held him close, and he wrapped his arm around her in return. Kagome's mother stood there hugging herself, smiling at the picture the two of them made. Then she gathered herself and bustled out of the room, calling back, "I'll leave you two alone, I have to take Souta to his soccer game!" The couple watched her leave, smiling in contentment.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha, the smile on her face growing. She was terribly excited, but it really hadn't sunk in yet. She was pregnant... It all seemed so strange and new. But she knew Inuyasha would be there for her, and that made her the happiest person alive.

Inuyasha smiled back down at her and bent to kiss her. She reached up with a smile, grabbing fistfuls of his hair to gently pull him down to her. He chuckled into her open lips, biting softly as though in reprimand. She giggled and bit back. Pulling back, she took a look at the father-to-be.

He'd grown in the three years she'd known him. He was still the same, more or less, but he seemed (slightly) more mature, at least in some ways. And that frown he always carried had lessened in the past week or so. Ever since she'd admitted she loved him, he'd seemed so much nicer and non-Inuyasha-ish. It was very strange... but she didn't mind the extra sweet attention she was getting.

But she really did miss the gruff Inuyasha, in some ways. It was strange really. After all the days of wanting him to be nicer and sweeter and more thoughtful, she found that he just wasn't the Inuyasha she'd fallen in love with years ago.

He finally caught on that she was staring at him, and raised an eyebrow without speaking. She smiled and kissed his lips.

"You've changed Inuyasha," she whispered. He frowned and pursed his lips.

"That's all your fault you know. I've turned soft." His lip turned up in what could be called a snarl and Kagome surprised herself and Inuyasha by laughing. He'd expected her to slap him or say "osuwari" or something. But she didn't, she'd laughed. Inuyasha stood stunned before laughing himself and hugging her, pressing his lips to her hair. She narrowed her eyes in thought.

"Now what?" she asked him. Inuyasha thought as well.

"We should wait here for a while, make sure you stay safe. Youkai could try to attack while you're weak in the early stages... yeah, definitely staying here." he finally said with a smile. Kagome almost read his mind.

"You just want more ramen..." she sighed even as he tried to deny it, and shook her head with a rueful smile.

"Miroku, what exactly are we going to do?" Sango asked as he held her in the early morning light. He took a deep breath, wondering the same thing. He didn't know whether or not they'd have time to really get married, but he knew it was the only thing he wanted to do. Screw the Shikon no kakera, he wanted to marry the girl of his dreams. And that was exactly what he planned on doing.

"Sango, we will do this. I promise you," he whispered into her hair. She made a noise in her throat, and snuggled deeper into the man's chest. This was what she wanted. To hold Miroku till the end of all time. She'd waited so long. Mind, she wasn't going to jump straight into such intimacies as Inuyasha and Kagome. She had a little more self-control than THAT. Thank Kami...

She stretched suddenly, uncomfortable with the situation in her mind. She knew nothing about it anyway... Why should she even think about it? She wasn't going to do anything until they were married, so why worry?

She nodded to herself as she relaxed back into Miroku's arms. He felt the nod and decided to ask about it, much to her embarrassment. She simply shook her head and asked him to forget about it, she was just thinking.

But apparently, ever since they'd become engaged, Miroku had to know everything. Just one of those things she had to get used to. But still she denied him, and it evolved into a tickle fight, with Sango the victor.

Shippou watched them from his corner of the hut, feeling a little melancholy. What was this? Suddenly Kagome gets sick and everyone reveals their feelings? It was seeming totally unreal, and he was starting to miss his newfound mother.

His main fear was that Inuyasha would take her away forever. Then he wouldn't have a mother again... Maybe he could talk the stupid hanyou into letting him sleep with them? If they did sleep together...

Knowing them, they'd probably hide from each other and fight.

He smiled, his worries for the moment forgotten. He closed his eyes happily, listening to the girlish squeals of Miroku as Sango whipped his ass.

Out of nowhere, the squeals stopped, and the little demon heard faint murmurs coming from outside. He opened his eyes once more, fearing the sudden dark color of the sky.

He lifted his nose into the air, and sniffed delicately, trying not to make any noise. His eyes widened, and he ran on all four legs out to the now somber couple. He jumped up to sit on Miroku's shoulder before whispering in his ear.

"It's Naraku!"
