Chapter 23 - Plotting
Kagome woke slowly, blinking and yawning widely in the morning light. She stretched, feeling
the pleasant pull of tired muscles, a strange aching in her belly. Her hand came up to rest on her
unborn children. She sighed, a frown marring her young face.
Inuyasha hadn't known that Kagome carried two pups. She herself hadn't known either, for she
only knew what her mate did, and what he chose to tell her. It had been Kouga who had told her.
But he hadn't told Inuyasha.
She knew that if he had, Inuyasha never would have left. She just knew that he wouldn't have left
her with the chance of becoming a single mother of two in a wolf den. One she could take care
of, they both knew that. But two, all by herself?
She sat up, not yet wanting to stand. She gazed around the cave, hearing barks and yips from
outside, and the soothing sound of the waterfall outside. It was lonely waking up without
Inuyasha next to her. Even in that short period of time they'd slept in such close quarters, it had
become natural.
Finally she did stand up, remembering the plan she had come up with earlier on. With a brave
smile, she stepped out through the waterfall, shivering at the cold water. Immediately, as she'd
hoped, Ginta and Hakkaku came running up to her.
"Sister, is everything alright?" Ginta asked, concern written all over his face.
"Are you needin' anything?" Hakkaku looked a little more relaxed, but he sounded anxious
enough.
Kagome smiled sweetly, bowing her head and shuffling her feet. She bit her lip as she spoke as
well, and the two wolves were charmed. She had them in the palm of her hand.
"Well..." she drawled. "Where's Kouga?" she asked. The two wolves frowned, disappointed at
not being her first choice.
"He's gone out on some errand or another." Ginta muttered.
"Probably getting food for you," Hakkaku added miserably. They wanted to help. Kagome
attempted a girlish giggle, and the flush on their cheeks gave away the fact that she'd succeeded.
"Oh, you silly wolves, you can help me too!" They immediately grinned, beyond happy at her
words. Kouga was too stubborn to ask for their help, but Kagome was much nicer than the surly
wolf.
"What can we do Sister?" She tapped her chin, then glanced from one to the other with wide
eyes.
"How long do you think Kouga will be gone?" she asked, a mischievous tone in her voice. The
two wolves frowned and exchanged looks.
"Couldn't be too long; he wouldn't want to leave you."
"Oh, well, I was kind of hoping..." she paused for effect. It worked.
"What? We'll do anything you ask Sister!" they hastened to assure her. She smiled at them.
"I was hoping you could get Ayame for me."
The two wolves lost their smiles, this time exchanging looks of fear and apprehension. Ginta
sighed, and Hakkaku scratched his head. Kagome placed a pout on her face, and both wolves
immediately grinned.
"We'll get her for you Sister, but...." Ginta paused, and the other finished, "What do you want
her for?" At this, Kagome lost all pretense of being innocent and looked at them with sadness
and pain in her eyes.
"I need her help," she said simply, and Kouga's lackeys both wilted at the sight of Kagome as she
stood before them in need. They nodded solemnly, then took off running into the hills.
Kagome sighed, then plopped down on the ground to wait.

It was night, and neither Kouga nor his two buddies were back yet. Kagome had since been
ushered back into the cave, for various reasons that the wolves mumbled under their breath. She
shook her head with a smile. Kouga was obeyed even when he wasn't there. Nice to know.
But it also meant that she couldn't try anything funny if he'd already told them what to expect of
her. Planning to go after Inuyasha herself, she tried to look for weapons. They were being
guarded by a few regular wolves and some demons, and they all shook their heads at her, and
none would move to her pleas.
Ayame had to come, she had to. Not only would she be able to budge Kouga from his decision
with time, she would understand Kagome's plight. Nothing would keep either two women from
their men. And together, maybe they would both get their own back.
Besides, it gave her a chance to play matchmaker, if only for a little while. Under past
circumstances, Kagome hadn't the chance to try and fix things. Kouga was just too damn
stubborn. But Kouga was her friend, if not her mate, and she really did want the best for him.
Too bad he didn't see it that way.
She sighed again, wondering how long she'd have to keep waiting, when she heard barking and
yelling from outside, throughout which there could be heard the voice of a woman. Kagome
immediately tried to stand up, and had to be assisted by a female youkai who began to follow her
around like a shadow. She thanked her, then waddled out of the cave.
"You know she shouldn't be here! Why in all hells did you bring her?!"
"I can come here anytime I want Kouga! It's my right as -"
"It is not! You aren't and I'm not and what are you doing out of the cave?!" Kagome gasped as
Kouga whirled around to face her. Ayame looked too, her green eyes wide with anger, and then
surprise as she took in Kagome's current state. Ignoring Kouga, who was still muttering curses
and yelling half-sentences at her, she walked up to Kagome and placed a soft hand on her belly.
Kagome looked up and smiled, tears in her eyes.
"I'm so glad you came," she said softly, and then she fell into Ayame's arms and wept. Kouga
growled, leaving Ginta and Hakkaku, who he was also yelling at, and went over to the two
women. Ayame looked up and shrugged and him, indicating that she had nothing to do with it,
and pet Kagome's hair in an attempt to soothe her.
Finally, Kagome straightened and looked at Kouga, sniffling. "I asked them to bring her here,
Kouga. Don't get mad at them," she said softly. Kouga opened his mouth to say something, anger
flashing in his eyes, and she just shook her head. "I don't want to hear it. Ayame's staying." And
with that he growled again and stalked off.
They watched him go, and then without a word Kagome ushered Ayame into the cave. With a
polite wave, she shooed all others out, leaving them in peace and quiet. The wolf youkai looked
curiously at her, wondering what was going on. Kagome sighed.
"I need your help Ayame," she began. The other nodded, waiting for more. When Kagome didn't
say anything, she looked pointedly at the bulge.
"Where's your man?" she asked. "I know they aren't Kouga's, but the smell is familiar. She
wrinkled her nose. "Smells like dog." Kagome smiled wistfully and nodded.
"Inuyasha, you met him before, when you met me."
"But where is he now? Why are you with Kouga?" Something flashed in the wolf's eyes, and
Kagome giggled.
"Don't worry, he's still yours, I don't want him." Ayame visibly relaxed. "Inuyasha... I don't
really know where he is. He left me here, for fear of our safety." She held her stomach with both
hands. "He doesn't know that there are two."
Ayame frowned sadly, and reached out to lay a hand on Kagome's shoulder.
"How can I help?"
Kagome woke slowly, blinking and yawning widely in the morning light. She stretched, feeling
