InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Child or Not ❯ A kid? ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha...or Kagome...or Miroku, or Sango, or anyone else in this fiction. They're all the belongings of their creator, Rumiko Takahashi...and as much as I might not like that, I shall respect it. But I'm still borrowing them...so there! xP

Last Chapter Recap:

 

“There was no doubt about it...that was the same shikigami Tsubaki used to curse you the first time Kagome...we need to be careful. Maybe we should set up camp here just to make sure that everything will be alright.”

 

After being unusually silent, Kagome sighed and nodded. “Alright...” This was just great...it would figure an old enemy would come back to bite again. Literally.

“Soon InuYasha...very soon...”

 

The sound of a cold, cruel laughter proceeded to fill the room once he finished speaking.

Chapter 2: A kid?

 

The group had made camp fairly quickly, and were now just sitting around, not really doing anything. InuYasha had take to sit in a tree overlooking a bit of the forest, as well as the group, and was staring at Kagome, but not really. Miroku and Sango were also sort of staring, waiting for something to happen. The girl whom was the object of all their stares was starting to get annoyed.

 

“Would you all stop staring at me? I understand you're concerned...I'm worried too...but staring at me isn't going to change things. Just aggravate me.”

 

She sighed, and ran a hand through her raven tresses. She had began to take advantage of just sitting around, to get started on some studying. A textbook lay in her lap, and she glanced over at Shippou, who was coloring diligently, and smiled at him.

 

“Sorry Kagome...”

“It's alright Sango, Miroku. Say, why don't one of you, or both of you go get some firewood, and we can have an early dinner...sound good?”

 

The raven haired girl smiled at the two, noting that they both got up, to go. She idly noticed that Kirara trailed after her best friend/partner and mewed before jumping onto the girl's shoulder.

 

Now once they were out of sighed Kagome sighed, and returned her attention to her studies. She remained like that for a while, only stopping when the firewood returned to start the fire, and heat up some water and some leftover stew from Kaede. She didn't want to say anything, but she was starting to feel a little bit odd, but it wasn't anything serious she assumed.

 

Dinner passed without event, well unless you call the usual, Miroku groping Sango and getting slapped for it an event. InuYasha had been unusually quiet, but ate his ramen normally and returned to the tree to keep watch. After a while it began to get dark, and keeping the fire a bit small, each human retired for the night.

 

Being as it wasn't that cold, Shippo decided to sleep with Kirara tonight, so he curled up against her soft fur and was soon dead to the world. Sango also lay herself against Kirara, whom usually made a point to pillow around her comfortably in her larger form. She was also asleep fairly quickly. Miroku however began to meditate at the base of a nearby tree, before falling into a light sleep himself.

 

Now that left 2 people awake in the camp; InuYasha, who was of course keeping watch, and Kagome. Now the raven haired girl had changed into lighter pajamas, which was really just a short sleeved shirt and a pair of rather snug shorts, and was lying in her sleeping bag, arms pillowing her head as she stared up at the canopy. After a while she began to feel her eyes droop, and sure enough she drifted off.

Morning came for the shard hunting party and Sango found herself the first to awaken. She glanced around the campsite, noting that the fire had gone out over the course of the night, and that Miroku was a bit too close for comfort, but not close enough to touch her. She smiled slightly, but then rolled her eyes. She looked up, spotting a bit of red in the tree above Kagome, and couldn't help smile again. She stood and stretched her arms over her head, before heading over to the fire to start it.

 

She barely had it lit when she felt a hand on her backside, and she twitched.

 

“Miroku! You hentai!”

 

It was obvious what came next, being as there was a loud thud and a rather loud `humph' following the thud. Miroku was once again out cold, but everyone else was now stirring because of that.

 

InuYasha, who hadn't really been asleep, hopped down gracefully from the tree branch he had been perched on and yawned a jaw popping yawn, letting his tongue curl before hanging out of his mouth for a moment in a rather dog like fashion. He glanced around, noting that Shippo was up now, and was throwing more firewood on the fire, and that Kirara had reverted to her smaller size, and was perched in Sango's lap.

 

He glanced over at the lump that was Kagome, and blinked. There was something wrong, he could feel it. He took a few steps towards the lump and noted that her hair was sticking out, and so was a hand. There were only 2 problems; the lump was smaller than it should have been...and the hand sticking out from the blankets was extremely small. His ears twitched, and he frowned, reaching out to tug on the blankets to expose the girl to the sunlight.

 

“Kagome?”

 

As soon as he pulled the blanket back he frowned, noting a little girl in the bag where Kagome should be.

 

“What the fuck...?”

 

Glancing up from what he was doing, Shippo frowned and in one hop, had landed on the shoulder of the hanyou.

 

“What's the matter InuYasha? And why do you have that weird look on your face? Why...”

 

The kit trailed off, finally having a look at the little girl in Kagome's sleeping bag. He jumped from InuYasha's shoulder carefully, and leaned over, before sniffing the still sleeping child.

 

“Why does this little kid smell like Kagome?”

 

Not liking the idea of something going on, Sango stood and made her way over to them.

 

“What is going on?”

 

A gasp escaped her throat when she saw the sight before her and she sat herself down next to InuYasha.

 

“Kagome?”

 

Finally, all the noise and ruckus around her was starting to wake the poor girl up. She yawned, and stretched while laying down, before letting her eyes drift open slowly. She blinked a few times, before sitting up, rubbing the sleep from one eye.

”Momma? Daddy?”

 

She glanced around, before getting up, and she looked down at herself with a small frown. She continued to look around, before calling for her parents again. Receiving no answer she sniffled, and turned her attention to the strange people staring at her.

 

“Who are you?”
