Title: Desires Within

Chapter 5: Stork and Longevity
By Tainted InuShemeeko

Inuyasha glanced around at his friends and mate as he asked a simple question. That just happened to shake a few leaves as he spoke it.

"Can someone tell me how the HELL we got here?"

However no one seemed to be able to answer the hanyou's question. For all them were trying to figure out how they had gotten there as well. It was the sound of Kagome's voice that seemed to bring Inuyasha back to his senses.

"Ow, that hurt."

She then rubbed her butt with a hand.

"I think I might have broken something that time."

Once hearing this Inuyasha was at Kagome's side in an instant.

"Is it your ankle? Your wrist, tell me where it hurts."

Kagome smiled as she looked at Inuyasha.

"No really I'm fine. It's not even bothering me any more."

Sango and Miroku continued to watch as Inuyasha lifted one of Kagome's arms and then the other, as he checked her body for injuries.

"All this time I thought you were terrible when you found out that I was pregnant. It's looks like we found someone who's going to be ten times worse."

At first Miroku smiled at Sango's comment and then he took the defensive.

"Come on now, I wasn't that bad. I was just looking out for the well being of our child that's all."

Sango rolled her eyes as she and Kirara slowly made their way toward Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Oh please spare me Miroku."

"What did I do this time Sango?"

He asked as he ran to catch up with her.

Inuyasha's ears twitched at the sound of someone laughing. The laughter was so soft it almost sounded like Kirara was mewing. Both Inuyasha and Kagome walked over to a cluster of flowers where the soft mewing got louder. There lying in the middle of the flower was a small sprite, her skin was a cream color while her hair was the color of freshly fallen snow. The sprite's eyes where the vibrant color of a lime her small wings were a crystal blue.

"That was so cute Mr. Higurashi."

The sprite squeaked as she continued to hold her sides. She then took a deep breath as she looked at Inuyasha and Kagome.

"I'm sorry I'm all better now I promise."

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow as he looked over at the sprite.

"What did you just call me?"

The sprite giggled once more as see watched for Inuyasha's reaction.

"I called you Mr. Higurashi silly. Oh and before you great all mad, I know that Higurashi isn't your real last name. However, since you are married to Kagome I figure it was better then nothing, calling you Mr. Inuyasha, it just sounded too weird to me."

Miroku kneaded his chin as he watched the sprite fly around Inuyasha and Kagome. The jubilant sprite stopped flying at the sound of Miroku's voice and turned to look at him as he spoke.

"Are you any relation to a sprite known by the name of Iris?"

The sprite nodded her head as she flew over to Miroku and looked at him.

"Mmmhmm, I sure am she's my cousin all sprites are related in one way or another."

Her green eyes softened, as she looked closer at Miroku. His spiritual powers had been weakened by his battle with Uraku. To put it frankly he looked like crap, and to put it honestly, she was sure that all she had to do was touch him and he would have fallen to the ground. She then flew closer to Miroku as she placed her small hand on his nose. The instant she touched him a bright green light surrounded him.

"That should help you feel a little better."

Miroku stared at the sprite that was gently hovering in front of him.

"Yes, I do fell better thank you. It seems to me that you know who we are and we have no clue as to who you are. What is your name?"

She smiled at her newfound friends as she landed on Kirara's shoulder.

"I am called Tazu."

Everyone's eyes widened, well accept Inuyasha's. Kagome gasped as she said the very same thing that Miroku was thinking.

"You're the sprite of longevity and rebirth."

Tazu's snow colored hair bounced as she nodded her head. She then spun
in a circle.

"Yep that would be who I am."

Inuyasha looked over at his mate and then over at the rest of his bewildered friends. He just didn't understand what was getting his friends so worked up.

"Mind telling me what the damn big deal is?"

Kagome was the first to answer him.

"Well you see when I was little my mom would tell me stories about different kinds of sprites. Tazu was one of the ones I remember the most. Why you ask? I'll tell you. It was because Tazu had the power to grant eternal life, she was also known as the deliverer of babies. I never believed that the stories where one hundred percent true, but now I would have to say that I do believe it."

Inuyasha stared over at Kagome confused still written on his face.

"So let me get this straight Kagome. She's the reason why Sango and you are pregnant?"

More soft mews of laughter erupted from within Tazu as she fell over backwards. Inuyasha on the other hand was not amused. Once her laughter had stopped she looked over at Inuyasha.

"Of course not silly they're pregnant because you or Miroku helped them out. The only thing I do is see if it's time for you to have children."

Inuyasha watched and listened as Tazu explained her duties to them.

"Feh, well if you haven't noticed now is not the best time for Sango or Kagome to be having a kid."

Tazu suddenly flew up into Inuyasha's face and began pointing a cream little finger at him.

"Yes it was then and now had been perfect. Until he showed up no one saw him coming. Now I'm just a screw up."

"I can't argue with you there."

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him she couldn't believe what he had just said to Tazu.

"Inuyasha, SIT."

Inuyasha cried out as the rosary suddenly pulled him to the ground.

"Ahhhh!Ufmph."

He growled as he slowly pulled himself out of the ground, where he then preceded to glare at Kagome.

"You mind telling what the hell you did that for? It's not like I did anything wrong I was just agreeing with Tazu over there."

Kagome placed her hands on her hips.

"You were being rude Inuyasha."

Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I wasn't rude. I'll show you rude if that's what you want wench."

Inuyasha's golden orbs widened when he realized his mistake of word choice, but it was already too late to save himself. However that didn't mean that he wasn't going to try.

"Wait, Kagome I didn't mean it like that...it just came out."

Kagome turned three different colors of red, until she finally erupted.

"SIT, BOY!"

Inuyasha crashed down into the earth, making a four-foot deep crater as he did so. He then sighed to himself; he really did need to learn how to keep his big mouth shut. Miroku's voice happened to knock Inuyasha out of his thoughts.

"Tazu, you seem frightened of the Uraku demon. Do you know something about him that we do not?"

Tazu didn't look at Miroku right away but at instead Sango, who was even now rubbing her sore sides. Tazu lime green eyes sparkled as she flew over to Sango, her tiny feet landing on her very round stomach.

"You don't have to worry so much about the baby. I mean I can't tell you whether or not it's a boy or a girl, but I can tell you that it will be healthy and strong."

Sango sighed, only the baby had settled down which seemed to be the minute Tazu landed on her.

"Tazu-sama, you still have not answered my question. What do you know about this demon named Uraku?"

Her bright lime green eyes became glassy and her small form began too shake. As the scent of pure horrified fear burned the inside of his nose Inuyasha realized one thing.

'She's terrified of this Uraku person, but why, why is she so afraid? Unless this demon is more horrible than Naraku was, is that even possible?'

"Yes, he is, and yes it is, Inuyasha."

His golden-honey eyes snapped up from the ground as they then locked with Tazu's. It was like she could read his thoughts. Inuyasha was pretty sure that he was going to like what Tazu was going to tell them. He then glanced over at Kagome, yes he had wanted a child, but now was a bad time to have one. Then again it wasn't like he was going to have a choice fate had already chosen for them.
