InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Changes 'Till The End ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Chapter 8: The Return

The sun was shining brightly the next morning, and Inuyasha grumbled about not putting something up to cover the window he stupidly put it their bedroom. The damn light was too bright to begin with! He nudged Kagome, wanting her to wake as quickly as possible.

"Mmm…Inuyasha, that you?" she asked groggily, shifting to lie on her stomach so the light wouldn't bother her that much. But Inuyasha was deciding to act like an ass since he kept on poking her arm. She just grumbled some more, snuggling into the covers.

"Not today bitch." He said fondly, rising and pulling all the covers with him, leaving a naked Kagome to shiver because of her loss of heat. She pushed herself on all fours and rose out of the flattened futon to stare Inuyasha in the eyes, she was not at all happy about his ways of waking her.

"We gotta talk." He stated simply, then dropped the covers and left the room, thankfully pulling on his red haori before leaving her. Kagome decided to be lazy, and just wrapped the still warm blankets around her cold body and followed him out the door to the main room of their home.

"What about Inuyasha?" she asked.

He sighed before turning around to face her. "About us… the pup we made… and Naraku." He decided putting it simply would be the best way to go about things, and hopefully get him into less trouble. "You're pregnant again Kagome, and there's no way in hell will I let you near Naraku in your state. You need to be protected and kept safe. No `buts'."

Kagome let his words sink him before she jumped on him, hugging the hanyou with all her might. She was thrilled about the good news. "We'll have a baby this time too." She smiled up to him.

"Remember about Naraku, Kagome. There's no chance I'll let you fight in this one-miko powers or not. The pup is more important than that." He knew he wasn't being nice about the subject, but he cared about their future.

Now it was her turn to sigh, and not to happily either. She knew the risk of getting hurt was far better if they were up against Naraku and who knew what could possibly happen to her? For once she had to agree whole-heartily with Inuyasha. She slowly nodded her head. "I understand… I won't fight." `But I want too!'

He patted her head like one would do to a dog. "Good girl. Now that we got all of that stuff cleared up and taken care of what do you wanna put in this house? I have a bit of money saved up if you don't want to bring things from your time."

That was a good question. She knew furniture in ancient Japan was… rustic in a sense, and a sofa might not be a bad thing to have here. She could have Inuyasha help her move sofas, chairs, tables, and whatever else they wanted from her time. "How about we go to my time for a little bit and bring some things? I know I told Mama I wouldn't be coming back until the jewel was completed, and that I just came back yesterday, but this could be a good chance to tell her of the news, don't you think?"

Inuyasha considered the option of having the comfy things Kagome had in her `living room' and nodded. "We'll go tomorrow then."

She smiled and turned to enter their bedroom where she could change and go tell Sango about the good news, she couldn't wait. The two, Miroku and Sango, were still living with Kaede since their home wasn't complete yet, so finding them would be easy enough.

As Kagome expected, Sango was thrilled to hear the good news. The two were sitting with their feet in the river close by to Kagome's home, finally having some time to talk about the good things. But that didn't last long. The wind started to pick up, and Kagome thought that was strange since there hadn't been a trace of a little breeze earlier.

She came to the conclusion that it must be Kouga coming for her, since she also sensed two jewel shards coming at a rapid pace, just like a few weeks ago. On that horrible day. She rubbed the bridge of her nose, not believing he would ever bother her again, but she was wrong.

"Kagome! Finally I have found you, now that I have, I want to bring you…" he didn't get to finish because a very angry Kagome cut him off.

"FUCK OFF!" she yelled, something she would never have done if it had been anyone else. "You caused me so much pain, so just get out of my face!" she continued, now standing a few feet in front of the wolf demon, with Sango a foot behind her.

"What are you talking about Kagome? You know I'd never hurt you, so let's go. We can

`fix' the mistake growing inside you later." He smirked and lent out his hand to her, waiting for her to take it and leave the human infested village.

Kagome was mortified, who was he to say he could take the life of her unborn child, again.

She took a step back and Sango moved to stay by her side. "You… you just don't get it do you? I'm sorry for telling you so bluntly, but I never want to go with you. My place is here, with Inuyasha." She placed a gentle hand over her stomach. "And my child."

He moved to hug her with amazing speed, petting her hair, thinking he was comforting her.

"Oh Kagome, what kind of garbage has that no-good hanyou fed you? We'll straighten things out, don't worry." He said calmly, as if Kagome's apparent anger didn't affect him at all.

The girl was fuming by now, she couldn't believe that Kouga couldn't get it through his head that she had absolutely no desire to leave with him. She was getting angrier, and with some kind of newfound power she managed to shove the wolf demon to the ground. Five feet from her. She stood there, amazed by her power.

"Kagome? Are you alright?" asked an equally amazed Sango.

She nodded. "Must be the new Miko powers, I feel great!"

By this time Kouga was back on his feet and staring at the girl. `How could she do that? Damn, this might not be easy like last time.'

Little did they know Inuyasha was on his way, having smelt the scent of his rival from Kaede's. When he reached them, he moved quickly to shove into Kouga, throwing him off and landing head first into a tree.

"You all right Kagome? If that bastard even…"

"I'm fine Inuyasha."

Kouga made a quick rebound and was back on his feet again, inching closer to the hanyou who made a fool of him. "What have you done to Kagome?" he growled.

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist, pushing her back into his chest and gave the wolf demon an evil smile. "Sooner or later you'll have to give up your shards, since we're goin to fight with Naraku soon. Then you'll be helpless, and won't ever try taking my Kagome away because you'll be too weak."

The wolf demon huffed, and realization hit him head on. His mind began to buzz, somewhat grasping the notion that Kagome was standing there in the mutt's embrace and liking it. `Damn it all, I won't be able to get her now.' He sighed miserably.

"Fine, you bastard, take the damn shards. On one condition though."

The hanyou nodded, holding onto Kagome a little tighter.

"You make sure you keep her safe when Naraku shows up, or you can bet your ass that I'll be back to take her. Got it mutt?" He spat, digging inside his legs to take the jewel shards he had placed there. When they were out he threw them at the ground in front of their feet and sped off, at a much slower speed.

"Wow, we got two shards easy for once." Exclaimed Kagome. She bent over to pick them up and put them in her pocket.

"Than damn wolf better never show his ugly face here again or I won't be so friendly. He shouldn't be harassing my mate."

Sango was still standing behind the two. She was happy that her friend was rid of that demon and those they were two shards closer to completing the jewel. Just one more fight, and it would all be over. `How wonderful.'
