Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the supporting characters.

A/N: Thanks for continuing to read! This will be the final part of my much longer than intended AU! (other than a short epilogue that will come next).

I can't believe this story started out with me just wanting to write a 30,000 word One Shot, then it turned into 80,000 words in two parts. Now it is three parts, plus an Epilogue lol 😆

Sorry this took a bit longer than expected. This part is much longer than expected too lol. Instead of the 40,000 words I figured it would be, it's 56,500 words haha. Anyway, I didn't want to rush it, so I took the extra time to make sure it was solid before posting. Thanks for waiting, and I hope you like it!

Anyway, thanks once again for reading!

"Kagome... you're pregnant."

Kagome felt like she had the wind knocked out of her. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't even think. She just stared into those golden eyes, neither of them saying another word for God knows how long. She blinked, once, twice, three times, and then the air in her lungs came out in a rush as what he said finally processed.

She fully sat up in bed which knocked Isamu off of her stomach, but that was the least of her worries at the moment. Inuyasha still wasn't speaking, and she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. She looked down at her flat stomach and instinctually put her hands there before looking back up into Inuyasha's concerned gaze.

She shook her head, obviously in denial, but knowing in her heart that it's true. It has to be true, right? They were stupid that one single time, knowing what the consequences could be. She practically begged for this to happen and he so readily delivered. Why should she be surprised that what he just stated is true? Her puppy obviously has known for a few days now since he has been sniffing around her stomach and trying to protect her. Inuyasha must not have been able to tell yesterday when they were alone because his human night was approaching, so his senses were off. 

She took a deep breath in and let it out slowly. She searched his eyes for anything at all that might point to her mishearing him. But that's stupid, isn't it? If she merely misheard him, then he wouldn't be sitting there with a guilty look on his face as she tried to figure shit out in her head.

Then that thought caught her attention. Why would he look guilty? It was her fault, wasn't it? She seduced him, she said they would be careful, and then she got carried away and wanted him to finish inside of her. She groaned and flopped back onto the mattress to stare up at the ceiling.

"I... are you sure?"

Inuyasha sighed and laid down next to her, not touching her, but staying close as they lay side by side on their backs. "Yeah..."

She stayed silent for another moment just to think. She didn't think that her silence may have been taken the wrong way until Inuyasha began to ramble.

"I-I'm sorry, Kagome. I-if you don't wanna keep it, I understand, I just—"

Inuyasha was cut off by Kagome's hand over his mouth as she stared wide-eyed at the hanyou. "Wh-what? Wh-why wouldn't I want to keep it?"

Her eyes watered as she thought about it. No matter if she was ready for this or not, this was still her and Inuyasha's baby. She would never get rid of something so pure. She pulled her hand from his mouth and protectively placed it back on her stomach. 

"I-is that what you want, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha shook his head vigorously as he sat up in bed and pulled her into his lap. She curled up against him, tears threatening to fall, but she blinked them away. "Th-then why did you think I would?"

Inuyasha sighed and nuzzled the top of her head. He took a deep breath in of their combined scents and then spoke. "I... Feh... It's stupid."

Kagome lifted her chin to look into his eyes, raising her right hand to trace the line of his jaw with her fingertips. "Tell me, Inu. Please."

He stared into her eyes for a good moment before finally telling her the truth. "No one would want to breed with a half-breed."

Kagome's eyes widened before they narrowed at him. She balled her hands into fists to prevent herself from slapping him like she really wanted to do. She pulled out of his lap to put some distance between them on the bed as she glared at him.

"Really!? After everything I've told you and done with you, you seriously believe that I would just get rid of our child because he came from you, a hanyou!?" His ears flattened, but she kept going. "I love you, you stupid idiot! I love you as a hanyou! Don't you get that!? I love you and I'll love this baby too."

She couldn't stop the tears from breaking free as her short rant ended and when she was pulled back into his chest, she didn't fight him. She clung to him as she cried her eyes out. 

She sniffled and angrily wiped the tears from her eyes as he purred, helping to calm her. "Jerk," she muttered under her breath, but she didn't have the energy to say much more.

Inuyasha sighed as he held her tighter. "I'm stupid. I was just shocked. I'm sorry. It's my stupid ass fault."

Kagome lifted her tear stained face to look into his eyes and she shook her head. "If it's anyone's fault, it's mine." She sighed before she leaned forward and kissed him lightly. "But we'll get through it together. Right?"

Inuyasha nodded his head and kissed her once again. "Want me to call Rin and get you seen with her doctor?"

Kagome let out a puff of air as she rested her head back on his bare chest. "I don't know... I don't think I could afford the same doctor as they use, on a teacher's salary."

Inuyasha growled lightly. "Idiot. I'll pay for whatever you and our pup needs."

Kagome shook her head. "Inuyasha..."

An even louder growl cut her off. "No. This ain't up for a discussion. You're my mate..." he put his clawed hand on her flat stomach. "...and this is my pup. I'm gonna be there every step of the way, Kagome."

Kagome sniffled and nodded her head. "A-alright." She looked back up at him. "Would you be offended if I got a home pregnancy test?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Don't trust me?" he teased.

Kagome giggled. "Of course I do. I just kind of need the physical proof, ya know?"

Inuyasha nodded in understanding. "We should go get it then."  

Kagome's face flamed. "W-we?" 

His eyes narrowed at her. "Yes, we. Ya think I'm gonna let you outta my sight while you're carrying my pup? Uh-uh. Where you go, I go."

Kagome groaned as she scooted off of his lap to grab her phone.

"Oi, whatcha doin?"

Without turning around, she responded, "asking Rin to bring me a couple of pregnancy tests, and also planning on asking for advice on dealing with overprotective Inu mates."

"Oi!"

She giggled as she was pulled back against his chest, his claws accidentally wiggled under her armpits and she burst into laughter, squealed, and then pushed his hands away. Inuyasha grinned as he attacked her armpits on purpose, pushing her onto her back as she tried to wiggle free from his onslaught of tickles. Her phone fell out of her hand and landed next to her on the mattress, Isamu was rudely disturbed and jumped off to run out of the bedroom.

"Inu!... S-stooopp!" Since he continued to attack her with tickles, she reached up and pinched his ear a little too hard, making him yelp and jump off of her. 

"Oi!" He rubbed his abused ear with the palm of his hand, but she only giggled and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Shoulda listened to me, dog boy." She picked her phone back up and sent a text to her new sister-in-law while Inuyasha was pouting with his arms crossed over his chest.

[To: Rin] - Hey, random question... could you bring over a few pregnancy tests? I could also use a girl's day.

She also added her address since Rin hasn't been to her house yet. She chanced a glance at her mate and nearly burst into laughter at his pout. His lips were set into a small frown, his ears were lowered, and he is growling low under his breath. She reached up to tweak his not-really-injured ear, and it perked up immediately. Her phone dinged just a few seconds later and she looked down to read it.

[From: Rin] - OH MY GODS!!!! YOU'RE PREGNANT? NO WAY! DID INUYASHA TELL YOU? WHO AM I KIDDING? HE HAD TO HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TESTS. YOU DON'T TRUST HIS NOSE? THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE, I WAS A LITTLE SKEPTICAL WITH SESSHY'S WORD ABOUT IT TOO. DON'T MOVE! I'LL BE THERE IN TWENTY MINUTES!!! ❤️😍🥰😄

Kagome blinked at the message before looking at Inuyasha. "Rin-chan is a little... peppy... isn't she?"

Inuyasha snorted. "A little?" Kagome showed him the message and aside from his blush, he didn't seem all that surprised. "Yep. That's Rin for ya."

Kagome shook her head in amusement and then answered Rin's message.

[To: Rin] - Thank you, Rin-chan. I'll see you soon.

She set her phone down and turned back to Inuyasha. "So... we're good now, right?"

Inuyasha nodded and leaned forward to kiss her sweetly. She smiled against his lips as she let out a contented sigh.

°•°•°

It wasn't even twenty minutes later when Rin was knocking on the front door like a crazy person. Inuyasha and Kagome barely managed to shower, get dressed and feed Isamu before Rin was trying to knock the door down.

Kagome rushed to the door and opened it, immediately being pulled into the younger woman's arms. "Kagome-chan! Are you okay? Do you have morning sickness? Did you miss your period? What symptoms are you having?"

Kagome giggled nervously as she gently pushed Rin back. "I-I'm fine Rin-chan. My period isn't even due for another couple of days, so haven't missed it yet. No morning sickness or anything..." She glanced over at Inuyasha who just walked over from letting Isamu outside. "Inuyasha told me this morning."

Ron nodded her head in understanding. She held out a plastic bag. "Here! I didn't know what test you would prefer, so I got one of each."

Kagome's eyes widened as she looked in the bag. "Rin-chan. I only needed two or three just to be sure, not the whole store!"

Rin laughed as she took off her shoes and hung up her sweater. "Nonsense! I wanted to make sure you had what you needed. Now shoo! I'll keep your idiot mate company while you do that."

"Oi! I ain't leavin' her alone for even a second!"

Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "You are not going to be watching me pee on a stick, you weirdo!"

Inuyasha growled, and she growled right back, making his eyebrows raise in surprise. Rin giggled as she waved Kagome off and held Inuyasha back by the arm. "Better hurry up before your guard dog knocks the door down."

Kagome sighed and turned to leave when Rin's voice met her once again. "Don't forget that false negatives are very common before a missed period!"

Kagome didn't respond verbally as she rushed into the bathroom, ignoring Inuyasha's insistent growling and grumbling. She followed the directions on the box to a T and then set the stick aside for the next three minutes. She paced the room, not knowing quite what to do. She kind of already knew she was pregnant, she trusts Inuyasha with her life, but there is something about needing it right there as a little plus symbol on a stick. 

But what if Rin is right? What if she gets a false negative and she won't get that little plus symbol until after she actually misses her period? She sighed and refrained from pulling her hair out as she continued to pace.

Finally, the three minute timer she set on her phone went off and she looked at the pregnancy test. She doesn't know why her heart broke a little when she saw it. Is she disappointed at the results? Shouldn't she be happy? Relieved? Less of a freaking wreck? She shook her head as she put the test into the box and walked out to the still grumbling Inuyasha and the smiling Rin.

Inuyasha ran over to her and looked at her in confusion, obviously sending her different emotions. "Hey. You okay?"

Kagome nodded as she handed him the box. He pulled the stick out and narrowed his eyes at the offending piece of plastic. He put it back into the cardboard and scoffed. "Feh. It's wrong. Take another one."

Kagome was about to respond, when Rin walked over and spoke. "You should wait until after your missed period. You said a few days right?" At Kagome's nod, Rin continued. "So, wait a week or so. How long ago do you think you may have conceived?"

Both Kagome and Inuyasha blushed, but they also answered at the same time. "Two and a half weeks ago."

Rin grinned at the obvious reasons they would know they exact date. "So, it's more likely not gonna come up positive until after your missed period or at least four weeks after conception." She thought for a moment and then a big smile appeared on her face. "Why don't we ask Sesshy to do a little sniffing?"

Inuyasha growled as he wrapped his arms around Kagome as if to protect her from his brother's nose when he isn't even there. "He ain't gonna go sniffin' around my mate! He wants to sniff someone, tell him to sniff you!"

Kagome groaned and hid her face into Inuyasha's chest while Rin only giggled. "I don't mind either way, Kagome-chan. If you do want Sesshy to confirm it for you, just let me know. But, I think Inuyasha's nose is plenty accurate. He caught it at two and a half weeks? That's pretty good. Sesshy caught my pregnancy a little after a week."

Inuyasha's ears lowered as a scowl appeared on his face. Kagome reached up without even looking at him, her face still tucked in his chest, and rubbed the ear closest to her. She smiled as it perked up right away at her touch. She glanced up at him and his scowl was now set in a comfortable grin.

"You're so predictable, Inu."

"Keh..."

Rin laughed and squealed, which made them jump apart as if they just got caught rutting in the middle of the room. "You two are just so adorable! Really a match made in heaven. I remember when Sesshy and I first met."

Kagome smiled and Inuyasha growled. Kagome looked back up at Inuyasha and knew that the next sentence was not going to make him happy. "I wanna spend some alone time with Rin, just us girls for a while."

"What?"

Kagome sighed as she fully faced him and held his hands. "Please Inu? Just a couple of hours. When's the last time you hung out with Miroku? You two were always interrupting class at the beginning and now it seems you barely speak to him."

Inuyasha looked guilty for a moment, his ears flat and his gaze turned away. "Keh. I was tryin' to get your attention."

Kagome smiled as she reached up to rub his ears. They both seemed to forget the world around them and the fact that they are indeed not alone. "Well, you've got it. Now and forever, my silly puppy."

She laughed when he glared at her, but she kissed the scowl off his face before backing up and giving him a bright smile. "Two hours?"

Inuyasha growled and crossed his arms. "Fine. But I ain't happy 'bout it."

Kagome hugged him tight and gave him a smacking kiss before backing up and locking her arm with a giggling Rin. "Love you Inu."

Inuyasha grumbled as he walked towards the door. He turned back around to glower at the both of them. "If anything happens to Kagome or our pup, your mate and pups will be very lonely for the next few thousand years," he warned Rin.

Kagome's breath caught at the way he so casually mentioned their pup. And the way the sun is shining through the window, makes him look eretheral. His silver hair and golden eyes are practically glowing, and the determined look on his young face is enchanting. She barely registered Rin's witty retort as she locked eyes with him once more before he finally left and closed the door behind him.

She was so lost in her thoughts of him that she didn't hear Rin trying to get her attention until she snapped her fingers in front of her face, making her jump and shake her head.

"Huh? What?" Kagome so intelligently spoke.

Rin laughed and gave Kagome an amused grin. "You love him."

Kagome smiled and nodded her head. "Of course I do. He's my soulmate."

Rin looked at the bag of pregnancy tests they had set aside and then looked back at Kagome. "I saw it on your face, you know. You were disappointed that the test was negative."

Kagome sighed as she looked away. She shrugged her shoulders and then decided she's tired of standing around, and led Rin into the living room and sat on the couch next to the snoring puppy. Rin sat on the other end of the couch and waited patiently for Kagome's response.

Finally, Kagome relented and nodded. "I guess... I didn't realize how much I actually wanted a baby, er, pup, until I had the chance to be pregnant with Inuyasha's." She shook her head and put her hands to her stomach. She looked seriously at Rin. "You trust Inuyasha is correct?"

Rin smiled and nodded. "I have no doubt. You really haven't felt any different? I mean, not everyone feels anything so early in the pregnancy, but it's still possible."

Kagome shook her head and sighed. She was about to respond when Isamu halfway climbed into her lap and nudged his nose into her stomach, sniffed a few times, and then fell back to sleep. She smiled and then looked back at Rin as she began to pet his head.

"I think Isamu has known for a few days. He's been more clingy and always sniffing around my stomach. He seems like he has been trying to protect that area more too."

Rin's smile was so wide, she wasn't sure how it wouldn't stick like that. "That's great! Dogs definitely have the ability to sense changes in hormones in women as early as two weeks. Some Inu youkai can tell within a week, depending on how strong their nose is."

Kagome nodded and then that one word stuck out to her and her face heated up. "M-maybe there has been a symptom..." At the look on Rin's face, she sighed and spilled her guts. "My hormones have been going crazy the last week. I've... I've been pretty much jumping Inuyasha almost any chance I get." Her face was bright red at this point, and Rin's laughter didn't help her any.

"The same thing happened with me and my twins! I swear, coupled with a new mating plus a pregnancy, I'm surprised you sent Inuyasha out at all."

Kagome laughed and shook her head, but she couldn't deny that it was difficult to do. Not only does she miss his company, his smirk, his ears and smile and his presence... But she wants to ride him all freaking day and night. It's like a constant ache is settled between her legs and at the pit of her stomach that only Inuyasha can help with. Yet, the same ache will return ten times worse just a few hours later. It doesn't help anything that they didn't have sex yet today because they immediately spoke of pregnancy. She sighed and shook her head to try and dispell those thoughts for now.

The next hour or so, they spent the time just chatting and getting to know each other better since they still have only seen each other a handful of times. They were in the middle of talking about their mates when Inuyasha stormed into the house with a clear scowl on his face.

Kagome jumped up from the couch and ran over to him. "What happened? Why are you back already?"

Inuyasha pulled her into a hug and nuzzled his nose into her hair, obviously to breathe in her scent. After a moment, he pulled away and spoke. "Idiot's room smelled like fucking pot and sex. Couldn't stand it! Then he kicked me out because his girlfriend was on her way over. Can you believe that? That pervert has never had a single girlfriend in his life! Just one night stands. Feh. Idiot."

Kagome shook her head as she leaned up to kiss the stress out of him, which seemed to work just fine. After just a few seconds, she pulled away and smiled at him. "Want some Ramen? I got the instant stuff for you."

Inuyasha's ears perked up right away, which made her smile. She turned and gave an apologetic look to Rin. "Sorry our girl time was cut a bit short."

Rin waved it off as she stood and grabbed her purse. "No worries, Kagome-chan! I better go make sure Sesshy isn't being bullied by the twins. They have him wrapped around their tiny little fingers."

Inuyasha snorted and coughed to cover up his laugh. Rin's smile didn't waver, but she did give him a particular look. "Oh, like you aren't already wrapped around Kagome-chan's?"

Inuyasha crossed his arms and grumbled out a, "keh!" making the girls laugh in his expense. 

Kagome and Rin hugged good-bye, and then once Rin was gone, Kagome walked towards the kitchen. "Come on, grouchy. I'll make you some Ramen."

Inuyasha's scowl was replaced by a grin as he followed Kagome into the kitchen, but before she had the chance to open the cabinet, he grabbed her wrist and spun her around, caging her between him and the counter. He pushed his body up against her and barely brushed his lips against hers.

"I'd rather have you."

Kagome stifled a moan as she grasped the front of his shirt in her hands, unconsciously pulling him closer. "More than Ramen?"

Inuyasha licked his lips as he thrust slightly against her, making her gasp at the already half hard proof of his want for her. "Always."

They met half way, their lips crashing together as if they haven't had the pleasure of tasting the other in years, even though it was just a few moments ago. Kagome tightened her grip on the front of his shirt as he deepened the kiss, making her moan softly into his mouth. She felt him lower his hands to her leggings and push both them and her panties down in one swift motion, allowing them to fall to the floor quickly. She stepped out of them and then gasped when he put his hands on her ass and lifted her up onto the kitchen counter. She spread her legs without being prompted and then whimpered when he slowly began to trace her folds with the tips of his fingers.

Kagome lowered her own hands to the hem of his T-shirt and pulled it up and over his head, their kiss only breaking long enough to divest him of the offending piece of cloth. The fingers on his right hand went back to her moistening core as her own hands caressed the scolding hot skin of his abs.

She whimpered once more as he growled, and when she lowered her hands to the button of his pants, he swatted her hand away before kissing her mate mark and nibbling there, making her whine out a broken version of his name. Inuyasha pulled back just long enough to rip her shirt up and over her head and then instead of wasting his time unhooking her bra, he sliced it down the middle, her breasts bouncing free of their tight confines.

Kagome's ire was short lived when he dove in and suckled on her breasts while his hands squeezed them and pinched her nipples. So much was happening at once, it was becoming to be too much to handle. She moaned out and then gasped when his fang scraped along her nipple.

Without thinking too much about it, she grabbed him by the back of his hair and pulled him off of her breasts, then slammed her lips to his. She took a moment to compose herself before speaking.

"Too sensitive."

Inuyasha smirked as he kissed her softly once more and then lightly caressed her breasts in his hands. "Sensitive, huh?"

Kagome's eyes widened as she stared into his golden orbs. "You think...?"

Inuyasha chuckled. "I know, Kagome. There is no doubt in my mind that you're gonna have my pup."

Kagome's eyes watered as she grabbed him by the back of the neck once again and pulled him back up to her lips. She kissed him with all the love and joy she had, wanting him to know that she is happy, and that no matter what, they will always be together.

When they finally broke away, Inuyasha leaned forward and licked the stray tear off of Kagome's cheek, making her giggle and sniffle. "S-sorry."

Inuyasha smiled and shook his head before resting his forehead against hers. "Don't be. I love you Kagome." He lowered his right hand to her stomach and stroked there with his thumb. "And I already love our pup."

Kagome hugged him close and buried her face into his shoulder. "We're really gonna be parents?"

Inuyasha nodded and chuckled at Kagome's watery giggle. He turned his head just as she lifted hers and their lips met once again, this time slow and languid, but with no less passion. As their kiss grew more and more heated, their mutual desire grew as well. Kagome lowered her hands down his chest and then to his waist and pulled him close to her as his own hands lightly caressed her breasts, being more careful since she said they were a little sensitive. 

She moaned into his mouth when he tweaked her nipples and then she lowered her hands back to the button on his pants. Once again, he batted her hands away, making her pout into the kiss, and him chuckle.

He pulled back and murmured against her mouth, "I didn't get to eat yet, and you smell delicious." He licked his lips, making her whimper, and then he began to lower himself down her body. 

Kagome's head fell back as he licked around her nipples, and she raised her hands to the top of his head to lightly rub his ears. He growled quietly as he switched to her other breast to give it the same treatment. When he was satisfied with that, he lowered to her stomach, kissing there softly. Kagome looked down at him and felt her heart swell at the way he so lovingly kissed where their child will soon grow.

Then he lowered down to his knees on the floor and spread her legs even further apart with his hands. Kagome gasped when he leaned forward and gave her a long slow lick along her folds. Her fingers on his ears tightened, but not enough to hurt him, as he began to feast on her soaked pussy.

"Oh, Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha growled, making her moan out at the sensation, and then he paid extra attention to her clit as he brought his fingers to her entrance. Kagome let out a gasping moan as he pushed two fingers inside of her slowly, sucking in her clit and flicking it with his tongue. She continued to pay attention to his ears as he licked and fingered her, his growling against her clit making her already so close to the edge.

She couldn't wait much longer to have him inside of her, she wants to cum on his cock as he fills her. She tugged lightly on his ear and when he looked up at her, she managed to stutter out, "f-fuck me!"

Inuyasha growled, gave one final suck to her clit and thrust of his fingers before standing up and quickly divesting himself of his jeans and boxer briefs. Kagome grabbed his cock and pulled him closer to her, their lips colliding as he nudged her entrance with the head of his erection. She moaned against his mouth and opened up for his tongue. She tasted herself in his mouth and it only made her hotter for him. She wrapped her arms around his back and scratched when he slid inside of her slowly. She mewled and whimpered as she wrapped her legs around his waist as he began to thrust in and out of her hard and fast.

They suddenly heard Kagome's phone ring, which made her pull back from his lips to instinctually look over to the other side of the kitchen where her phone is set on a counter and lighting up. Inuyasha growled and turned her face to look back at him, giving her an extra hard thrust as he did so.

"Ignore it."

"B-but—"

His snarl cut her off as he grabbed her hips and began to pound all other thoughts out of her head. "Focus on me, baby."

Kagome moaned and nodded her head dumbly before he recaptured her lips with his. She forgot all about the ringing in the background, the only sounds she can focus on are his growling, groaning and the sound of flesh slapping flesh. She brought her right hand forward to cup his jaw lightly as she kissed him with all the love and affection she has for him. She gasped when he began to thrust extra hard and deep, but slow and calculated. She traced his fangs with her tongue, savering in the feel of how dangerous he could be if he really wanted to, yet she knows he would never intentionally hurt her.

She grabbed onto the back of his neck with both hands when he pulled her off of the counter and began lifting her up and down on his cock. She nearly screamed at the intensity of it, and would have if he hadn't shut her up with his tongue. He stumbled over to the wall right next to the fridge and pushed her up against it, fucking her hard and fast once again.

They heard her phone ring once more, but Inuyasha didn't give her a chance to get distracted. He grabbed her throat with his right hand to keep her steady as he kissed her hard, and his left hand held her up against the wall by holding onto her ass. Kagome was panting and moaning as she felt the telltale tingles that is the first sign of her oncoming orgasm. 

She tried to move her body against his, but the way he is holding her gives her little to no control, making her whimper out in protest. His only response was a satisfied growl as he began giving her slow, long thrusts once more.

"Oh Gods." she whined against his mouth as his measured thrusts hit her like never before.

Inuyasha nipped her bottom lip before licking the slight sting away, then he kissed to her chin and then her mark, sucking and nibbling it over and over again. She yelled out her pleasure as her nails dug into the back of his neck. 

"I-Inu— Ah!"

He growled as he bit her mark just enough to get her closer to the edge without letting her fall of the cliff, then sucked it lightly. "Fuck, baby," he groaned as Kagome's walls began to tighten around his shaft.

"I-Inuyashaaaa!" In a split second, he pierced her mark with his fangs, white hot light flashing behind her eyelids as she shattered around his cock. She screamed out her pleasure as he continued to thrust in and out of her in measured movements.

Just as she was coming down, Inuyasha's thrusts slowed and he grunted as he came. Kagome moaned softly as she felt him throbbing inside of her. She knows that she will never get tired of this feeling. The feeling of being so complete after a mind numbing orgasm, and Inuyasha emptying his own deep inside of her. 

After a few moments of them catching their breaths, Inuyasha slowly let her back down to stand on her own two feet. Kagome let out a breathy giggle, still a little high on their mutual love, and leaned up to kiss him. Just a second later, her phone went off for a third time. Feeling a little worried now about who would be calling so many times and why, she pulled back and sort of waddled to her phone on the counter just ten feet away.

She blushed bright crimson at the caller ID, turned to Inuyasha and put a finger up to her mouth in a shushing gesture as she answered it.

"Hi, mama!" she didn't realize that she was still a little breathless, and then her mother's response made her body flame to a whole new level.

"So, Kagome. Are you going to tell me who this new guy is, or do I have to ask your little brother?"

Kagome gulped as she locked eyes with Inuyasha, who's ear twitched and his own cheeks pinked, so she knew he can hear everything her mother is saying. "Wh-what do you mean?"

She heard her mother sigh, and she could only imagine the teasing smile as she spoke. "Don't give me that, dear. I was young once too, you know. And I know my daughter. You never go long without checking in on me and only don't respond to my calls during school hours. Am I going to have to drive over there and meet him myself?"

Without thinking, Kagome yelled out, "no!" She coughed and tried to regain her composure. "I uh, I mean..."

She sighed and looked back at the hanyou who's ears were flattening and his gaze was on the floor. Her heart broke a little, feeling as though she made him think she was embarrassed to be with him. She swallowed down her nerves and spoke with much more confidence than she felt.

"We... we'll come visit in two weeks, alright?"

"Oh, I can't wait! Is he good to you?"

Kagome smiled as she looked at Inuyasha's surprised gaze and she nodded even though her mother couldn't see it. "Yeah. He is."

"I'm happy for you, dear. So, how cute is he?"

Kagome's face flamed again as she scrambled to keep her embarrassment at bay. "Well, it was good talking to you, mama... Love you, bye!" She could hear her mother's laughter right before she hung up the phone and deposited it back onto the counter as if the small device had burned her.

She turned and closed the distance between herself and her mate, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Well, it's only fair to have you meet my family, since I met yours."

Inuyasha held her close and sighed. "Is... is that what you want? You're not embarrassed to be with me?"

Kagome took a deep breath in and let it out as she pulled back enough to look into his hurt eyes. "Inuyasha... I'm not embarrassed exactly... It's just...," she sighed. "...my family are humans, not demons. They may not understand our relationship." She rushed to continue as his ears began to lower even further. "It has absolutely nothing to do with you being a hanyou! My mother wouldn't care about that. It's...," she looked away, feeling a little ashamed. "...you know how odd our age difference may seem to other humans..."

"Keh..." He lowered his hand to her stomach and looked into her eyes. "And they'll be family to our pup." He shook his head. "Don't you come from a shrine family?"

Kagome nodded as she lowered her own hands to cover the one he rested on her stomach. "Yeah. My grandfather probably knows and understands soulmates and demon mates and stuff. If I would have listened more as a kid, I would have understood a lot more about demons than I do now."

Inuyasha chuckled as he gazed into her eyes. "How'd you become a teacher if ya can't listen?"

Kagome frowned. "I don't need to listen to teach kids."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's take a shower and then you can make me that Ramen you promised."

Kagome laughed as she gave him a quick kiss before allowing him to drag her towards the bathroom.

°•°•°

Another week has gone by and Kagome is in the bathroom staring at another pregnancy test. She is now four days past when her period should have started, and she's never had irregular periods. It's not that she doesn't trust Inuyasha's nose or Rin's judgment, but she just feels like she needs this physical proof. She still hasn't felt any sort of symptoms like morning sickness or even mood swings. Not that she knows too much about how this works, seeing as her friends are all single with no kids, and she doesn't have any other female relatives other than her mother. Rin is the only woman she knows with kids of her own who has given her pointers in the past week, but she is still so confused.

Shouldn't she have felt something by now? Shouldn't she just know? She knows she has been wanting sex a lot in the last couple weeks, well, a lot more than she was before. She also began to be more sensitive around her nipples, not that it hurt or anything, it was actually very pleasurable as long as he was less rough with her.

She did do some research, which makes her feel a little embarrassed, seeing that she is a twenty-eight year old woman and she should just know this stuff. Shouldn't she?

She sighed as she finally decided to pull the damn test out of the box and follow the instructions of peeing on a stick. She decided to use one of the more expensive ones to get as accurate of a result as possible. When she was finished with that, she set the pregnancy test aside and continued to pace back and forth in her bathroom. 

Why is she even nervous? She knows she's pregnant. Inuyasha couldn't be wrong. He could smell it, and unlike her, he has family who has gone through this before. He knows what is smells like. Her puppy could tell before Inuyasha even knew. She shouldn't be this nervous!

Why was she even disappointed that the last test was negative? She had absolutely zero plans to get pregnant anytime soon. She at least didn't want to get pregnant before Inuyasha graduated highschool. He still has months before he graduates and if she is indeed already almost a month pregnant, than she'll be showing before he does graduate. She groaned as she fully realized her demon students would undoubtedly know, then the teachers would start talking, then she would probably lose her freaking job, then how will she take care of the baby? Then—

She jumped when the timer on her phone went off to check the test results. She shook her head to dispel the stressful and unwelcomed thoughts, then turned off the alarm and picked up the test without looking at it. For some reason, she can't make herself look at it. She felt tears sting her eyes and just as she felt like her mind was about to whirl out of control again, there was a soft knock at the door.

"Kagome?"

She let out the breath she didn't know she was holding as she opened the door and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's waist. She still held the test in her hand, but she has yet to even glance at it. He rubbed her back comfortably as he purred softly.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Kagome pulled away and looked at the floor between them. "I..." She sighed as she held up the test for him to see. "I can't look."

She pinched her eyes shut tight and waited for him to say something. When it was silent for much too long, she peaked her eyes open to look into his shining gold ones, his smile wider than she has ever seen before. That was enough to cause the dam to break as tears overflowed and ran down her cheeks. She was pulled up and into his arms, her legs going around his waist, the both of them laughing and then Inuyasha's next words made her laugh even harder as tears continued to fall.

"I told you so, dummy."

Kagome's smile widened as she held the test up behind his back as she continued to hug him, wanting to see it for herself.

And sure enough, there was the word pregnant and even had the weeks listed below as 3+ weeks. She tossed the test onto the sink in the bathroom as she pulled back to kiss Inuyasha with all the love she feels for him.

Inuyasha stumbled out of the bathroom with Kagome clinging to him as if she'd surly die without this closeness. They made it to the bed and fell together, Inuyasha half on top of Kagome and Kagome holding him as close as she could by the back of his hair. She lowered her hands down his back until she had the hem of his shirt in her hands and began to push it upwards, her hands gliding along his bare skin as she did so. She pulled back from his mouth just long enough to pull his shirt off and toss it aside, and then pulled his mouth back down to hers.

She moaned as his left hand travelled under her shirt and grasped her bra covered breast. Kagome arched her back underneath of him as she lowered her own hands to the waistband of his sweat pants. She idly admits to herself that sweatpants are really good on him, she loves that she can see his well endowed package when he wears them.

She pushed his pants and boxer briefs down and then used her feet to push them the rest of the way before he finished by kicking them off of the bed. She grabbed his right hand and put his claw to the collar of her shirt. He hesitated, but then she began to rip it herself with his claw. Inuyasha growled and finished the job, shredding her shirt off of her. Kagome gasped moaned as he pulled away from her lips and cut her bra straight through the middle, her breasts bouncing as they were freed from their confines.

Kagome grasped the not-so-useful clothing and threw them away before she unbuttoned her pants and pushed them down her hips and butt. Inuyasha let out another fierce growl before batting her hands away and pulling her jeans the rest of the way off, and then without missing a beat, he shredded her panties off as well.

The next thing she knew, Inuyasha was flat against her and pushing her into the mattress, his lips melding against her own and his knees pushing her legs apart. She willingly surrendered to his dominance, spreading her legs wide open for him and holding him close with her palms on his back. She arched her back once again as she felt him slide inside of her without any other help of a hand. Kagome moaned and gasped when his tongue sought out hers, beginning to dance with hers just as his hips began their own perfect rhythm.

Kagome had her arms underneath of his and her hands grasping his shoulders as her legs wrap around his waist, the both of them moving together in perfect harmony. She never thought she would have this. Someone to love. Someone to cherish. A baby - pup - on their way. A life outside of her everyday job working with kids. She gave up on that dream a long time ago when she didn't feel that pull that others have mentioned. She didn't feel like that with Hojo the first time, and she definitely didn't feel like that with him the second time.

But with Inuyasha, she feels it all, all the time. Love, lust, the feeling of contentment and the feeling of fulfillment. She knows she will spend forever with this man. She will spend thousands of years loving him and receiving his love in return. They will have their first pup in eight months, and then more in the coming years. They will raise their family together and they will never tire of one another.

She could feel the tears falling as he kisses her, as he moves within her, as his hands caress her lovingly, but she doesn't care. She loves him. She'll always love him. Now and forever. And she will continue to show him with her body, and tell him with her words. Nothing will ever take her love from him away.

Inuyasha lowered his left hand to rest lightly on her stomach, making her nearly sob at the gentleness of his touch. His right hand cradled her face, the pad of his thumb wiping away her tears as his kisses became less urgent and more sensual. She moved her hips to match his own as they made love, the moon light beginning to filter through the bedroom window and shining off of their writhing bodies.

Kagome gasped as he slowed his pace, but went a little deeper, her back arching once again as his mouth moved from hers to kiss along her entire face; he kissed her tears away, her forehead, her eyes, then left another lingering kiss on her lips before resting his forehead against hers with a contented sigh.

Kagome held him to her tighter, never wanting this moment to end. "I love you." It was barely above a whisper, but he heard it all the same. 

He groaned as he returned her words of love, those three words, a promise for the future as their bodies proved to each other how much they mean to one another. How much they truly love each other and how much they won't ever tire of the other.

Kagome opened her watery brown eyes to lock with the golden ones of her mate. She just stared at him, captivated by his eretheral beauty. How his silver hair shines in the moonlight, and his golden eyes darken to a more ambery hue as he makes love to her. His fangs sharp and deadly, but give her extraordinary pleasure. The same could be said for his claws, the talons that could tear into her flesh and end her life within seconds, but she knows he would never hurt her. His ears, so different, so unique, and so Inuyasha. They outwardly show his emotions without his permission, and she loves that she can read him like a book. She loves that she knows him more than she knows herself, and she could say the same about him with her.

Her eyes fluttered closed as his lips decended on hers once more. She sighed happily, her arms tightening around him as their pace begins to increase together. Their collective sighs and moans being swallowed by the other as they both get closer and closer to the end they are finally allowing themselves to reach.

"Inuyasha..." she moaned against his mouth as she felt her orgasm approach faster and faster.

Inuyasha softly whined as he pumped in and out of her faster and faster. "K-Kagome..."

Her eyes pinched tight as she began to pant harder and harder. Inuyasha's grunts of pleasure making it harder and harder to hold back her orgasm. "I-Inu... I— "

Inuyasha silenced her with his mouth for just a moment before pulling back and swiping her bangs out of her face with his claws. "Cum with me, Kagome."

Kagome whimpered as her head fell back against the pillow, her throat being bared for her mate. He took that opportunity to lightly suck the mark on her neck just as her walls began to ripple around his cock. They moaned each other's names as they simultaneously shattered. Inuyasha grunted and groaned as his seed spilled into her already occupied womb. Kagome yelled out as wave after wave of ecstacy shot up her spine and made more tears come to her eyes.

As they came down together, they stared into one another's eyes. Kagome took a deep breath in before pulling his face back down to hers, kissing him as if she's never kissed him before. They soon rolled onto their sides, facing each other, as they shared loving kisses and caresses, the happiness they are excuding, easily recognized to the other.

As their kisses began to slow, exhaustion began to set in. Kagome's eyes felt heavy as her heart rate began to go back to normal. She pulled away from his mouth and cuddled close to his chest, both of them sighing contently. Inuyasha nuzzled the top of her head as he pulled the blanket up and over their tangled bodies.

Kagome heard Isamu run into the room and jump into the bed as if he knew the coast was clear. A small smile broke out onto her face as her puppy cuddled close to her back and her mate cuddled to her front. 

"Love you, Inu."

Inuyasha purred as he kissed the top of her head. "I love you too, K'gome."

Kagome hummed her reply as she felt herself begin to drift off, her smile widening as Inuyasha rested a hand protectively over her still flat stomach. She finally allowed dream land to take her under when she couldn't hold onto consciousness any longer.

°•°•°

The next week went by, and Kagome started to feel what it is like to be pregnant. Her stomach is still flat, but her breasts went from their slight sensitivity to a little swollen and tender to the touch. She woke up two days ago nauseous and couldn't keep anything down all day. Rin gave her the number to her OBGYN and she had her first appointment on her four week mark, just a few days ago. She had wondered what people would think or say when neither her nor Inuyasha showed up to school at the same time, but it didn't seem to matter to anyone. She was replaced with a substitute for the day, and Inuyasha made the excuse that he was sick, which is possible for him since he is half human, just not as common as the average human.

Inuyasha had told her that since she is getting symptoms now, he is not leaving her sight. So that is how they ended up fully moving in together. 

Of course his parents were more than happy to get rid of their youngest child. Not that they don't love him or his company, but he is an adult now with his own mate, and a pup on the way. So he began moving in about five days ago, and yesterday, her home is now their home. Which she absolutely loves. His love and attention really means a lot to her, even if it does get a bit overbearing at times.

Which right now, is one of those times. She is sitting up in bed, legs dangling off the mattress, trying hard not to puke in the trash can that she decided to start keeping there just in case, and Inuyasha is trying to make her eat. As if she isn't going to puke it up right away anyway.

She rubbed her temples as she grit her teeth in frustration. "For the last time, Inuyasha. I. Can't. Eat!"

Inuyasha's ears flattened to his head as he set the tray of breakfast on the side table, sat down next to her, and put his arm around her, without saying a single word. His thoughtfulness only made her feel terrible for her outburst, and she felt tears sting her eyelids. She grabbed the front of his shirt and tucked her face into his chest as a sob broke free.

"Wh-what did I do!?"

She shook her head as she angrily wiped her tears away and looked up into his eyes. "Nothing. I'm a mess. I'm sorry."

Inuyasha dipped his head down to kiss her tenderly as he wiped the remaining tears from her cheeks with his thumb. When he pulled back, he kissed her forehead and pulled her face back against his chest.

"Keh. Stupid."

Kagome sighed as she pulled away from his chest and looked over at the tray of food. "I guess I'll try some of the fruit..."

She ignored his cocky grin, or she might have to slap it away, and grabbed a grape, popping it into her mouth. She sighed happily as she leaned back against him and continued to polish off the mix of fruit, but she couldn't even think about eating anything else right now.

As if she hasn't been stressed enough, now she has to worry about how her mother will react. Her and Inuyasha are supposed to be at her mother's house in an hour, and Kagome feels like she is going absolutely insane. She had wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret from almost everyone until after the first trimester, just in case. Inuyasha did tell her that youkai blooded pups have a much higher chance of survival than fully human babies, but she didn't want to take the chance and jinx it.

Now, there is no way her mother won't know. She has been through this two times after all, and with the way Kagome has been feeling this past week, it'll be nearly impossible to hide. She is only four and a half weeks along and she already wants to smash her head against a brick wall.

How the hell did she go from absolutely zero symptoms for weeks and then one day it all hit her like a god-damned freight train? She feels like she is going to vomit every second of every day...

'Fuck whoever named it morning sickness... It should be called all-the-fucking-time sickness!'

She feels tired even after a long night's sleep, and then she has to deal with freaking teenagers at her stupid job five days out of the week. Her breasts are starting to actually ache, which sucks a whole lot since it's one of her more pleasure spots during sex which now he has to be more gentle during their love making.

She has become an emotional wreck; one minute yelling at her poor mate for only trying to help, and then crying on his shoulder because she yelled at him, and then jumping him like a freaking crazy person because all of a sudden she felt the need to have him inside of her.

She groaned as she laid down on the couch with her puppy curled up on her lap, his nose laying on her stomach. Inuyasha came into the room and handed her some crackers and a bottle of ginger ale. Kagome lifted her legs as he sat on the other end of the couch and then laid her feet in his lap. She thanked him for the snack, and began to munch on them slowly as she moaned from him rubbing the bottom of her feet.

"Ya know your mother is expecting us soon..."

Kagome swallowed a sip of ginger ale and sighed. "I know..."

Inuyasha's ears lowered as he looked towards the TV. "We ain't gotta go... if ya don't want..."

Kagome shook her head as she scratched Isamu's ear. "No... we should go. I haven't seen my mother and grandfather in a while, and it would be weird of me to cancel last minute."

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders. "What if ya just said you're sick?"

Kagome shook her head once more. "Then mama will drive over here and insist she make me soup." She giggled and shook her head in amusement, then her expression turned more serious. "I should tell her about the pregnancy, shouldn't I?"

Inuyasha looked back into her eyes. "I ain't gonna make ya if ya don't want. I told you that it's almost impossible for something to happen to a youkai blooded pup."

Kagome put her crackers and drink on the coffee table before moving Isamu off of her lap and sitting up on the couch. She curled up at Inuyasha's side, her arm going around his middle and her head resting on his shoulder.

"We don't know anything about quarter youkai's though..." She grabbed his hand and laced her fingers with his before placing both of their hands on her stomach. She looked up into his shining gold eyes and continued. "He's mostly human... I just wanna be safe."

Inuyasha dipped down and gave her a chaste kiss. "I know. Whatever you want, Kagome. I'll always protect you." He squeezed the hand he is holding over her stomach. "And I'll always protect our pups."

She smiled as she leaned up and returned his kiss with one of her own.

°•°•°

A little while later, Kagome and Inuyasha pulled up to the Higurashi shrine. Inuyasha parked nearby and then they walked the short distance hand-in-hand. The closer they got to the steps, the more nervous she became. She knows her mother isn't prejudiced against demons or half demons, but she doesn't know how her mother will react to her being with someone not only a decade younger than her, but also still in highschool.

She took a deep breath in and let it out slowly as they began to climb the stairs. About half way up, she felt more fatigued than she normally would have, and apparently Inuyasha took notice. He let go of her hand and crouched down in front of her.

"Climb on."

Kagome paused and stared at him in shock for a moment. "What?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "The pup makin' it hard to hear? Climb on my back."

After another moments hesitation, she did as she was told. When she was securely on his back, her hands loosely on his shoulders, he took off. She squealed in surprise and held on so tight she swears he might actually bruise from it. In a split second they went from the center of the steps to the top of the steps. He had jumped the entire way up as if it was nothing.

When he let her down, she scowled at him. She reached up and flicked his ear. "Inuyasha! Don't do something like that without warning me, you jerk! I almost had a damn heart attack!"

Inuyasha's ears flattened and he was about to say something in response, but the front door opened. Luckily it wasn't her mother or grandfather asking what all the screaming was about.

Souta stood there with his mouth agape at the two of them. "So it really is true! I thought they were just rumors. Mama did say you were bringing your boyfriend over. Hey Inuyasha."

Inuyasha nodded towards the other teenager a little awkwardly as Kagome let out a small growl at her little brother. "Shut up Souta, ya little brat. I don't know what kind of rumors you think you heard, but— "

Souta's laughter cut her off which only angered her more. Then he spoke and her whole face burst into flames. "You act like I'm just a little kid, sis. If that's true, than why're you dating someone younger than me?"

Kagome stood there gaping like a fish for a moment before she could even think to respond. When she did, all she could say was, "younger...?" 'Idiot! You know their birthdays!' she sighed. 'I just didn't think about it before...'

She turned to Inuyasha who's blush was even brighter than hers and she could tell he was more than a little uncomfortable. She shook her head free of those thoughts as she grabbed his clawed hand and pushed past her brother.

"Whatever Souta. It doesn't matter, Inuyasha is my—"

She was cut off once again, this time by her mother rushing over from the kitchen. "Kagome! It's been so long, dear." She pulled her daughter into a hug, successfully detaching Kagome's hand from Inuyasha's.

"Uh... Hi mama. Sorry I haven't visited in a while..." She chuckled nervously as she glanced at Inuyasha to her right.

Mrs. Higurashi pulled away and waved her off. "Nonsense, dear. Now, I am dying to meet this man if yours." She turned her gaze to Inuyasha; the hanyou looking like a deer caught in headlights and her mother looking a bit shocked, but then she smiled. She held her hand out to Inuyasha for him to take, which he did, reluctantly. "It's nice to meet you."

Inuyasha gulped and nodded. "Uh... y-you too, Higurashi-san."

They both dropped their hands and Mrs. Higurashi's smile never wavered. "Please, call me Keiko."

Inuyasha nodded as he instinctually reached over and grasped Kagome's hand in his. "Okay... Keiko-san."

Kagome reached back and flicked her little brother when he chuckled from behind them.

Keiko only smiled and waved for them to follow. "Well, come on, you three. I've made your favorite, Kagome. I know how much you've always loved Oden."

Kagome smiled as they reached the kitchen. "Oh, Oden! I— "

She didn't get to finish that sentence because the second the smell of her favorite dish reached her nostrils, she covered her mouth and nose with her hands and rushed to the downstairs bathroom since that one was closest. She ignored her mother's calls, her brother's confused exclamation, her grandfather as he walked into the house and saw her rush away, and her mate's low curse as he followed close behind her.

Just as she reached the toilet to puke, Inuyasha was behind her, holding her hair back. His ears flattened when Mrs. Higurashi stood by the door and asked the inevitable.

"How far along...?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, the only sign that she was willing to let him answer was the slight nod of her head. He held her hair back with one hand as he rubbed her back with the other. He looked back at her mother and hesitantly answered truthfully. "A-about four and a half weeks."

All she did was nod her understanding before she left, making Inuyasha curse under his breath and then his attention back fell back to Kagome.

When Kagome was feeling less nauseated and gross, having washed her mouth out when she was done emptying her stomach, they walked back out to the kitchen. She had her eyes averted as she approached her mother, but then gasped as she was brought into a hug.

"Kagome... why didn't you tell me?"

She shrugged her shoulders as she looked over at Inuyasha and then her mother's eyes when she pulled away from the embrace. Keiko picked up a mug and handed it to her daughter.

"Here. This tea should settle your stomach. It worked wonders when I was pregnant with you and Souta."

Kagome blushed as she thanked her, and then slowly sipped on the hot beverage.

After Kagome was feeling much better, Kegome's family sat at the table; her grandfather at the head of the table, her mother across from herself, Inuyasha to her right, and Souta to her left. Her family is eating their lunch, but since Kagome's stomach isn't doing well, her mother made her a smoothie and another mug of hot tea.

She is currently holding tight to Inuyasha's hand as her mother waits for her to speak, her grandfather is glaring daggers at Inuyasha, and her little brother is looking amused. She sighed and then spoke up.

"So... Inuyasha isn't actually my... boyfriend." Before her family could take that the wrong way, or any way at all, she elaborated. "He is my... mate. We're... soulmates."

The silence was deafening, and she was afraid to look at her family, but then her mother spoke up first. "Soulmates? Well, that's wonderful, dear." Kagome looked up to lock eyes with the older woman and she could see her mother's smile was genuine. The next words out of her mouth, however, caused the couple to blush deep red. "I wonder if the baby will have his ears!"

Inuyasha sputtered and Kagome laughed. 

Her grandfather continued to glare at Inuyasha for another moment before speaking. "How old are you, boy?"

Inuyasha gulped. "Eighteen..."

Mr. Higurashi grunted as he looked between Inuyasha and Kagome. "And you have completed the mating?"

Inuyasha and Kagome both nodded slowly.

Her grandfather grunted again. "Hmm. When will you stop aging?"

"Gramps—"

Inuyasha put his hand on her knee and squeezed in reassurance. "It's alright Kagome." He looked back into the old man's eyes and spoke. "Twenty-five."

"You look strong. Are you strong, boy?"

Inuyasha's ear twitched. "You could say that..."

"You think you can help an old man with his chores after lunch?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, who seemed about ready to explode in embarrassment. Then he saw the amusement in both Souta and Keiko's eyes. He sighed, nodded his head, and shrugged his shoulders. "Keh. Why not?"

Mr. Higurashi grunted again as he continued to eat. "He'll do, Kagome." He swallowed a mouthful of food and locked eyes with the hanyou once again. "But if you hurt her, I won't hesitate to purify you myself."

Inuyasha looked ready to bolt at the threat, but Kagome's hand squeezing his stopped him. She shook her head and saw him relax as he saw the others around the table now extremely amused. Now it was clear. The old man was all talk and no bite. He should have known, he can't sense any reiki from him whatsoever.

°•°•°

Her mother wanted to talk to her alone after lunch, which worked out fine since Inuyasha had already told her grandfather that he would help with some chores. Souta ran upstairs to play video games while Kagome helped her mother with the dishes. Her mother was washing while she was drying. A few moments of silence occured before her mother spoke of the elephant in the room.

"He's young." 

Kagome sighed. She knew this would come up. She nodded as she dried a bowl and set it aside. "Mm-hmm."

Her mother let out a breath as she turned to her daughter. Kagome winced as she glanced over. "I'm not here to judge you Kagome. I love you, you know that?"

Kagome nodded slowly. Why does it feel like she's back in highschool being lectured for not doing her chores?

"So, how did you two meet back up? Don't think I've forgotten, dear. He was the little hanyou boy you took care of in highschool, wasn't he?"

Kagome's shoulder's slumped as her gaze averted and she nodded her head. "I... I first saw him again in my class... H-he's one of my students..."

"Kagome..."

Kagome shook her head and looked into her mother's eyes. "I know, mama. I tried. I really did. When he told me I was his mate, I told him it would never work. He was only seventeen at the time. I couldn't possibly be with a teenager..." She shook her head and looked away, her hand resting on her stomach. "We didn't get together until after he turned eighteen... I just..." She looked back into her mother's eyes with tears in her own. "We're soulmates. I literally couldn't stay away. As much as I tried, it never worked. I... I fell in love with him faster than I could blink..." She looked down at her still flat stomach. "And now... it wasn't planned, we were a little recklace one day...," she looked back into her mother's eyes and smiled. "...but I'm really happy. I love him mama, and we're gonna be parents."

She was shocked by her mother immediately embracing her, causing her held back tears to fall silently as she hugged her mother back. "Oh, Kagome. I'm not mad, dear. I just wanted to understand a little better." She pulled back from the embrace and wiped the tear from her daughter's cheek. "And now I think I do. Who am I or anyone else to get in the way of true love? Especially the kind of love that the Kami had bestowed upon you."

Kagome smiled as another tear escaped. "Thank you, mama. I love you."

"I love you too, Kagome."

Just as Kagome was about to turn to continue the dishes, Inuyasha ran in and grabbed her hands, looking her up and down and sniffing to make sure everything was alright. "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Is the pup okay?"

Kagome blushed but couldn't help the laugh as she pushed him back by the chest and tweaked his ear. "I'm fine. Just mother-daughter talk."

Inuyasha seemed to just now notice the older woman was there and he blushed bright red as he took a step back from his mate. "Keh... I uh..." He allowed his sentence to drift off as he turned and ran back outside to continue whatever her grandfather was having him do.

Kagome laughed as she watched him leave, and her mother joined in on the laughter. "He sure is attentive, isn't he?"

Kagome's smile was radiant as she looked back at her mother and nodded. "Yup. And ever since we found out about the pregnancy, he has been really attentive." She rolled her eyes, and Mrs. Higurashi laughed.

"All good men are, Kagome."

°•°•°

Inuyasha and Kagome made it home a few hours later, both of them emotionally exhausted from the day. Although it does feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of Kagome's shoulders. She wasn't worried about them not accepting Inuyasha because of his heritage so much as she was worried about them talking about the fact that he is still a teenager. 

She should have known better. Her grandfather understands demon customs like the back of his hand. Her mother is very caring and understanding and would never belittle her for falling in love. Her brother may be a little menace sometimes, but he means well, and he seems to really like Inuyasha. Even if he teases them, he's still the loving little brother she knows and loves.

When they got home, they plopped onto the couch; Kagome laid down with her feet propped up in Inuyasha's lap and she decided to use the sleeping Isamu as a pillow. He didn't seem too thrilled with the idea, but after a little bit of wiggling, he got comfortable with an exaggerated sigh.

Kagome let her own sigh out as she looked at her mate. "I want ice cream."

Inuyasha chuckled. "Cravings already?"

Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "I said I want it, not need it..." She made a pouty face which had him chuckling louder.

"Do we have ice cream?"

Kagome's pout turned sulky. "No..."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "I don't wanna leave you here alone. Will you come with me?"

Kagome whined with an even bigger pout. "I'll be fine for fifteen minutes..." She gave him her best puppy dog eyes. "Please?"

Inuyasha narrowed his own eyes at her and then grinned as he spread her legs to around his waist and crawled on top of her, his mouth just hovering above hers. "What will I get in return?"

Kagome smiled as she reached up and tweaked his ear. "A pup in about eight months."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but couldn't prevent his smile. "I love you, you dummy." He leaned down and kissed her softly.

Kagome smiled against his mouth. "I love you too, dog-boy." She squealed when he pulled back and licked her cheek with a grin on his face. "Inuyasha!" She wiped it away with a giggle. "Gross!"

Inuyasha chuckled. "Keh. You should be used to my tongue by now, woman."

Kagome laughed as she flicked his ear. "Not on the face!"

He rolled his eyes before giving her another chaste kiss and then climbing off of her. "What kind of ice cream?"

The squeal she let out had him pinning his ears down. "Coffee, mint chocolate chip, and cookie dough."

Inuyasha shook his head in amusement but then his expression turned serious. "Don't move from this spot until I get back." When she rolled her eyes and tried to shoo him away, he growled. "I ain't kidding, Kagome. If something happens to you or our pup—"

"Nothing will happen, Inu. This neighborhood is safe. I promise I'll be okay." She reached back and pet her growing puppy behind the ear. "Isamu is here, isn't he?"

That did not make him feel any better. "That pipsqueak wouldn't protect you from a damn bug."

Kagome sighed and shook her head. "I'll be fine." She reached forward and squeezed his hand in reassurance.

"Feh. Fine. I'll be quick." He leaned back down to kiss her one last time before he grabbed his keys and wallet and left faster than she could blink.

She turned her head and locked eyes with her puppy and smiled. "I was only planning on one puppy when I got you, and ended up with a guard dog too." She kissed Isamu on the nose and her smile widened. "But I wouldn't change any of it for the world."

°•°•°

Kagome was woken up by a soft kiss on the lips. She hummed and smiled against his mouth and when he pulled away he had a bag from the nearby market.

"Which one do you want?"

Kagome blinked lazily as she tried to process the question, then a small smile appeared as she remembered. "Mmm. Coffee."

Inuyasha chuckled as he walked towards the kitchen to get a bowl and a spoon. As he was scooping some into the bowl, Kagome came up and hugged him from behind. He turned around and dipped his head down to kiss her lips before giving a small kiss to her nose. Then he turned and grabbed the bowl and handed it to her.

"Caffeine ain't good for the pup. No more than this a day."

Kagome pouted as she took the bowl and saw the measly two scoops of ice cream. She sighed as she looked back up into his serious gaze. "But you said youkai blooded pups—"

"I asked Rin, and she said even she had to cut back with hanyou pups. I ain't gonna let ya take a chance with a three quarter human pup."

Kagome nodded her head in understanding as she smiled and leaned up for a chaste kiss. "You're gonna be a great father, you know that?"

Inuyasha's cheeks turned slightly pink before he turned around and put the ice cream in the freezer. "Keh." He turned back and grabbed her hand to lead her back to the living room. "Eat your ice cream, woman."

Kagome couldn't say no to that.

°•°•°

Wednesday came around and Kagome rolled over in bed groaning as her alarm went off. She blinked her eyes open and that's when the nausea hit. She gagged as she jumped out of bed and ran into the ensuite bathroom, throwing up everything that was left in her stomach from the night before. She felt the presence of her mate as he held her hair back for her, his silent support making tears come to her eyes.

When she was finally finished 'dying' as she so eloquently like to put it, she fell backwards and leaned her back against Inuyasha's chest. He moved her hair out of the way and lightly kissed her mating mark as a calming rumbling sound reverberated from his chest.

"You alright, babe?"

Kagome nodded as she stood up on shaky legs and went to the sink. She rinsed out her mouth before thoroughly brushing her teeth and then rinsing with mouthwash. When she was finished, she turned back around and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's waist, resting her head on his chest.

"It's already getting harder to hide my pregnancy at work. I may not be showing yet, but I can't seem to go more than two hours without puking my guts out."

Inuyasha rubbed her back as he looked down at her. "I'm sorry..."

She shook her head as she looked up into his golden eyes. She smiled as she reached up to trace the lines of his jaw with her pointer finger. "Don't be. I'm really happy to be starting a family with you, Inu."

Inuyasha grinned as he lowered his mouth to hers, Kagome moaning softly as she easily reciprocated his loving kisses and soft caresses.

°•°•°

By the time Kagome made it to the school, she was feeling a bit less nauseous. At least now she doesn't feel like she is going to actually throw up, rather she is just a bit queezy. She had called her new doctor, who had prescribed her prenatal medication to take every morning, and asked what she can do about extreme nausea and vomiting. The few options that was given to her would end up making her pass out during class, so she had to go with the other option, which was eat certain snacks and drinks throughout the day and Vitamine B-6 supplements which she picked up over the counter on her way to the school.

As per usual, her and Inuyasha drove separately, parked in their respective spots, and then entered the school and classroom separately as well. She really is starting to feel bad about hiding their relationship, but she is terrified of losing her job. She knows he is hiding how much it actually upsets him to practically be her secret, but there isn't much she can do about it at the moment.

As class began, she started teaching just like any other day. Whenever the students were left to their own devices, she would sneak a cracker or two and take a sip of her ginger ale. As much as she knows her demon blooded students know about her condition due to their sense of smell, she still doesn't want to wear a sign that practically screams I am pregnant with Inuyasha's pup. 

As soon as Inuyasha is graduated, she won't be as scared to let others know.

When lunch came around, Kagome sighed a breath of relief as she slumped in her seat with her face in her hands. After the students had all left, Inuyasha came up behind her and spun her chair around. He lifted her face by the chin and looked down into her exhausted eyes.

"If this is too hard for you, maybe you should take some time off..."

Kagome shook her head quickly. "No. I'm only five weeks along. It's not a big deal." She sighed as she stood up and hugged him tight. "I'm gonna go eat lunch with Sango, she's probably wondering where I've been recently." She pulled back and gave him a lingering kiss on the lips before a peck on the cheek. "Go eat lunch with your friends like a normal high schooler."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he pulled her body flush against his, making her body heat up at the contact. "I ain't a normal anything, if ya haven't noticed."

Kagome giggled as she tweaked his ear and leaned in close to his lips. "I know, dog-boy." They closed the distance together, it was meant to be chaste, but lingered just a little too long.

As Kagome began to lose herself in his addicting kisses, soft moans being swallowed by her mate, there was a coughing sound coming from the open door of the classroom.

Kagome pulled away from him faster than she ever has before and spun around to see the intruder. She grasped her chest as her heart felt like it was going to explode and took a few calming breaths in when she saw who it was.

"Damn it Sango! You scared the everliving crap outta me!"

Inuyasha chuckled from behind her, making her eyes twitch in irritation as she spun around and glowered at him fiercely. "Go eat lunch with your friends, Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha crossed his arms and glowered back. "That ain't how mate's are supposed to talk to each other, woman!"

Kagome growled as she spun around and marched towards Sango, grabbing her arm and dragging her away. "I'll talk to you later, baka!"

Inuyasha stomped after them and grabbed her hand, spinning her around. "Oi! What the hell is your problem, bitch!?"

Kagome balled her fists to her sides and then her anger turned into anguish as tears stung her eyes. "N-nothing." She sniffled and angrily wiped the tears that rudely fell without her permission.

"Kagome-chan?" 

Kagome shook her head as she gave her friend a reassuring smile. "I'm okay." She looked back at Inuyasha and sighed. "I'm sorry. I'll... I'll see you in a bit, Inu."

Inuyasha's ears lowered, but he didn't fight her when she pulled away and walked with the confused Sango towards the teachers lounge.

They were silent the entire way, Kagome felt like such an ass. It wasn't Inuyasha's fault that they got caught... She treated him like a child because she was embarrassed. She got angry at him for no reason and then burst into tears. She feels absolutely terrible for her outburst.

She sighed as they made it into the teachers lounge. She grabbed her small lunch of fruit and crackers because she can't handle much else at the moment, and then sat down across from Sango in a secluded spot away from eavesdroppers.

"Kagome-chan?"

Kagome sighed as she chewed and swallowed a grape and then looked into Sango's concerned brown gaze. "I'm sorry Sango-chan. I've been a bit moody lately..."

Sango nodded, but still looked confused. "Is everything alright with you and..." she glanced around them to make sure no one was close enough to hear, "...Inuyasha?"

Kagome nodded. "Y-yeah. He didn't deserve that, and I'll make it up to him later. I just... I have a lot on my plate right now." She resisted the urge to put a hand to her stomach. She trusts Sango, she's like a sister to her, but she doesn't want to tell her until after the first trimester. She has already tempted fate by telling Rin and Sesshomaru, and her own family knowing early, she doesn't want to jinx it any more than she has already.

Sango seemed to contemplate something for a moment as she took a few bites of her own food. After a pause, she spoke. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

Kagome smiled and nodded. "I will... I promise."

Seemingly pleased with that response, they changed the subject for the rest of lunch.

°•°•°

When the last bell rang and all the students left other than her mate, she rushed to close and lock the door and then turned to be face to face with him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his lips down to hers, swallowing his gasp and slipping her tongue into his mouth to dance with his. She moaned as he fell victim to her lips and tongue, his arms wrapping around her lower back as he began to back her up until she was trapped between the door and his hard frame.

Kagome scratched the base of his ears as she arched into his body, showing him how much she loves him and wants him. "I'm sorry, baby," Kagome mumbled against his mouth.

Inuyasha groaned as he pressed his rapidly hardening cock against her. "Don't worry about it, Kagome."

She whimpered as he moved from her mouth to her throat and began to leave open mouthed kisses to her mark. "B-but I-I shouldn't have gone off on you like that."

He nibbled on her mark, making her entire body go up in flames, then pulled back enough to stare into her hazy brown eyes. He moved a stray hair from her face to behind her ear and smiled. "If ya feel that bad, then make it up to me."

Kagome giggled and shook her head in amusement, but she couldn't help but want to take him up on that. She grinned at him as she lowered her hands to his chest and began to push him backwards. He easily walked back to wherever she was leading him, and when the back of his legs hit the teacher's chair, she pushed him the rest of the way down onto it. She bent down to be face to face with him, their eyes half lidded, and she smiled mischievously.

"How do you want me to make it up to you?"

Inuyasha wrapped his hands around to her lower back and pulled her into his lap so she is straddling him. "Ride me hard and fast, like the good bitch you are."

Kagome's immediate reaction was to grind on top of him. She moaned as she leaned down towards his mouth. "Don't you want me to suck your cock first?"

He groaned in response. "Fuck..."

Kagome laughed before she kissed him softly. "Sounds like a yes, then..." She slid off of his lap to her knees on the floor in front of him and then quickly undid the button and zipper of his pants. Inuyasha helped her pull his pants and boxer briefs down enough to expose his fully erect cock, and she wasted no time in grabbing him at the base and putting him in her mouth.

Inuyasha groaned as he watched her take him as far in as she can and then back out to the tip, over and over again. Kagome kept her eyes locked with his as she sucked him and licked him to her heart's content. She could feel herself begin to drip down her inner thighs from how horny this is making her.

As much as she wanted to keep going as long as she is physically able, Inuyasha's voiced rasped out, "get the fuck up here and ride me, now."

Kagome moaned and deep throated him one more time before pulling off with a loud 'pop.' She quickly straddled him and saw his eyes open wide at the realization that she wasn't wearing any underwear under her skirt again. She smirked as she grabbed him and slid down on top of him, the moisture from her saliva and his precum mixing with her own arousal as he fully enters her.

"Fuck. I love it when you get on top of me."

Kagome smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck, his hands grasping her waist, and then she lowered her mouth to his. "Gods, Inu," she moaned as she lifted her hips and dropped back down to the hilt. "You feel so damn good inside of me."

Inuyasha growled as his grip on her waist tightened. "Come on, ride me like the good bitch I know you are."

Kagome moaned as she crashed her lips to his and did just as she was told. The chair may not be the most comfortable or easy place to do this, but over the past few months, she has gotten better at it. She went from jumping up and down on his cock, to grinding back and forth, back to jumping up and down, and so on. Both of them are so lost in each other, it is as if no one else in the world matters, no one else exists, it's just them, Kagome and Inuyasha. They are moaning and groaning and panting and whining as Kagome rides her mate hard and fast, just as he told her to.

Kagome kissed down his chin to his throat and sucked hard, not caring in the least that she'll be leaving a heavy hicky behind. It should heal by morning anyway. She grabbed the nape of his neck with her left hand, and a fistful of silvery hair with her right as she bounced on him hard and fast; sucking, licking and biting his throat just as he loves to do to her. She has started to lose control, the feeling of her orgasm approaching making it hard to hold anything back.

Not that her mate minds in the least. His snarling and growling and groaning tell her he loves it just as much as she does. The feel of his cock so deep inside, brushing her cervix with each bounce, the feel of her clit being stimulating as she does so, and the sounds he makes is about to throw her over the edge. 

But she wanted this to be for him. For his pleasure. She pulled her face back from his neck to look into his eyes, the look of love and passion shining in those beautiful golden orbs. She cupped his cheeks, her fingers curling and her nails accidentally scratching just below his jaw bone, but neither of them noticed. 

"I-Inuyasha..."

"K'Gome..."

She smashed her lips back to his, moaning as she did so. She felt her orgasm approach much too quickly as she rode him, tasted him, felt him, heard him, she needed to calm the fuck down for a minute. So she did the only thing she could think of.

She jumped off of him, his snarl of disapproval was cut short when she dropped back to her knees and took him back into her mouth. She bobbed her head up and down, their eyes locking as she took him all in. His eyes are wide and slightly pink around the edges as he watches her, transfixed on the unexpected transition. She can taste the mix of her juices with his own, and she can't help the sounds of pleasure that are escaping her mouth as she swallows everything down happily.

Inuyasha grabbed the back of her hair, making her eyes roll back as he began to assist in the pace she had already set. She hummed happily around his cock as he began to pull her off and push her back down faster and faster, his hips thrusting as well. She grabbed his thighs with both hands, digging her nails into him as she takes whatever he wants to give her. 

Her eyes snapped open with a small gasp from her throat as he pulled her off of him by her hair, pulled her back on top of him, and then slammed her pussy back down onto his cock. She couldn't stop her scream of pleasure as he began to fuck her from beneath her, her hands grabbing onto his shoulders as she bounced in rhythm with his punishing thrusts.

"Oh Gods, baby yes!" she screamed as he hit that special spot deep inside. "Ah! D-don't stop! Please baby, don't fucking stop!" Her next scream was cut off by him pulling her mouth back down to his, his tongue immediately seeking out hers as they got crazier and crazier.

She could feel Inuyasha's claws digging into the back of her shirt and slightly into her skin, but the small amount of pain made it so much more pleasurable. Their tongues are battling one another for dominance as their bodies did the same. Kagome's hands couldn't stay idle as she practically ripped the front of his uniform top open, a couple of the buttons flying off in the process. She moaned and he groaned as her hands found purchase on his bare chest. She felt along as much of his body as she could reach, pinching his nipples and feeling his abs beneath her fingertips.

"So fucking hot," she mumbled against his mouth before snaking her tongue back inside.

Inuyasha snarled as he grab a fistful of her hair and pulled her neck back, sinking his fangs into her mark immediately. Kagome screamed in a mix of pain and pleasure, their hips girating in a way they never have before. So fast, so needy, so wanton.

Inuyasha licked the blood off of her mark where his fangs were and kissed back up to her mouth, holding her still by her hair. "Fuck, ya like it, bitch?" 

Kagome whimpered in answer and then gasped at the slight tug of her hair. "Y-yes! Ohhh Gods yes!"

He groaned and Kagome forced her eyes to stay open as she felt her orgasm crash over her in wave after wave of pure ecstasy. She stared into the golden pools of molten lava as her mouth hung open in pleasure. She continued to ride out her release as she felt Inuyasha's cock pulse once, twice, three times, and then his drawn out groan and moan of her name was the clear indicator of his own release.

She moaned and whimpered as their mouths and tongues met once more, passionate and animalistic as they rode out their simultaneous highs. His claws are once again scraping against her back, her shirt nearly in shreds as pink streaks are left upon her otherwise unblemished flesh. She keened her rapture as the slight pain only made her orgasm that much better. Her own nails dug into his chest as she lost control of herself in the midst of their ardent affection.

As they came down from their heightened pleasure, their bodies slowed as did their mouths and the scraping of nails on flesh. Kagome whimpered as she pulled back from his lips and looked into his eyes for just a moment before collapsing on top of him, her face falling against the crook of his neck. They stayed like that for a few long moments, out of breath and fully sated, no words needed as they basked in the afterglow of their spontaneous love making.

They were both jolted out of their silent reverie at the knock on the classroom door. Kagome's head popped up and stared wide-eyed at the hanyou below her. He seemed to be too in shock to do much for a moment and then snapped out of it as another small knock was heard. He shook his head and sniffed the air. After a few more sniffs, trying to discern who it is over the scents of their fluids and arousal, he breathed a semi-sigh of relief.

"It's Miroku."

Kagome's eyebrows shot up as she stared at him in shock. "What the hell is he doing here?" she hissed through her clenched teeth.

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders. "How the fuck should I know?" He quickly kissed her before she got off of him and they situated their clothes to the best of their abilities.

At the third knock, Inuyasha growled and stomped to the door, swung it open, pulled the teenager inside by the front of his shirt, and then closed the door back up.

"What the fuck, Miroku?"

Miroku looked between Inuyasha and Kagome, both of them wearing matching blushes and going by their disheveled appearances, anyone could guess what they were up to. Even if they weren't as loud as they were.

"I think you ought to thank me, my friend."

Inuyasha growled and cracked his knuckles. "Thank you for what? Bein' a god-damned lecherous son of a—"

"For placing a sound proofing barrier around this classroom, Inuyasha."

Kagome and Inuyasha stared at the student with wide eyes. Kagome stepped forward and spoke up tentatively. "Miroku-kun... You can do that?"

Miroku raised an eyebrow at the older woman. "Can't you? I sense the power in you easily, Higurashi-sensei."

Kagome blushed slightly and looked away. "I wasn't really trained... I didn't want to be a Miko. I wanted to work with children." She shrugged her shoulders as she looked back at Miroku. "I can make a protective barrier, but not much else."

Inuyasha walked back over to Kagome and put a protective arm around her waist. "Keh. It don't matter anyways."

Miroku shrugged and continued speaking to Kagome as if Inuyasha didn't say anything. "I could train you. It's not too difficult, and you are definitely powerful."

"I don't know... You are one of my students. That may seem a little unorthodox, don't you think?"

Miroku's eyes seemed to twinkle with amusement as he stared at the couple in front of him. "With all do respect, Higurashi-sensei. You are literally screwing one of your students. Surely teaching you better ways to use your reiki isn't as unethical as you seem to think it is."

Kagome face palmed and groaned. The sound of Miroku's laughter, made her look back up with a glower. "Point taken." She shook her head and then the queasiness she has been dealing with came back with a vengeance. She pretended nothing was amiss, but going by Inuyasha's hold on her tightening, he can tell. "I'll take you up on that at some point, Miroku-kun. But sadly, there isn't any time for anything else in my life at the moment."

Miroku nodded as if he completely understood. "Alright. Just be careful in the future. There are demons everywhere within these walls. If a mere human such as myself could hear you both from down the hall, no doubt a demon could hear you from the next building over."

Kagome felt as though she wasn't going to recover from the redness on her face. "Well... w-we better go." She grabbed Inuyasha's hand and began dragging him out the door. "Come on Inu."

"See ya later, Inu." Miroku's teasing tone and laughter made Inuyasha growl and clench his fist tight.

He turned to give his so called friend a piece of his mind, but Kagome's grip on his other hand stopped him. "Inuyasha. I'm going to throw up in about five seconds. We gotta go."

Inuyasha's ears perked towards her as his eyes widened. "Shit. Come on." They managed to make it out of the school without being seen, which was definitely a good thing because of their ripped up clothes. 

Since Kagome is feeling so out of it right now, they decided to just take Inuyasha's car home and Kagome could get hers tomorrow after school. Kagome was holding her stomach and trying not to puke the entire drive, the bumps in the road not helping her situation in the least.

She somehow made it, but the second the car stopped in their driveway, she ran to the door, unlocked it, and rushed to the bathroom where she threw up everything that was left in her stomach. Inuyasha was there in a split second, holding her hair out of her face and rubbing her back. Kagome had tears in her eyes from the intensity of her heaving. 

When she was finally finished, she collapsed back into his chest and sobbed from how stressful that was. Inuyasha held her against his chest and raked his claws through her hair.

"Do you need anything?"

Kagome nodded her head as more tears fell. "You."

Inuyasha kissed the top of her head lovingly. "You've got me, forever."

Kagome couldn't stop her sobs from coming as she turned and hugged him tight. After another few moments, she took a few calming breaths in and stood up with his assistance. She managed to brush her teeth, and then Inuyasha took her to lay down in bed. He gave her a lingering kiss before telling her he's going to let Isamu out and then he'll be right back.

When he came back about ten minutes later, she was half asleep. Inuyasha put his hand under the back of her head and began pulling her up. "Come on, sit up for me."

Kagome whined and shook her head. "Uh-uh."

Inuyasha sighed as he had her sit up anyway and then climbed in bed behind her, sitting up against the headboard with her between his legs and against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and put a bowl in her hands.

"Here. It should help."

Kagome opened her eyes and looked down, the smell of chicken noodle soup hitting her senses and actually not making her want to throw up. She picked up the spoon and took a bite, the warm broth going down easily. She sighed and turned to look into his worried gaze.

"Thank you. You're the best."

Inuyasha smiled and nuzzled her cheek with his. "Anything for you, Kagome."

Kagome kissed his cheek before turning back around to eat her soup. Unbidden tears resurfacing as she thought about how lucky she is to have a man like Inuyasha. She smiled as she thought of the future. She's already so excited to have this pup, and spend the rest of forever with her soulmate.

°•°•°

Another three weeks have passed, and Kagome is still dealing with morning sickness, which in her opinion should be called, all-the-time sickness. She is eight weeks pregnant and it just feels like everything is getting worse and worse. She had called her doctor to ask if this is normal or if she should be worried, but the doctor had said not to worry, that some people have harder pregnancies than others. Other than her incredible symptoms, everything is healthy.

Other than 'all-the-freaking-time sickness', she has been dealing with swollen and sore breasts, lower back pain, frequent urination, fatigue, mood swings, higher than normal sex drive, and food/smell aversions. The only symptom that doesn't bother her is the fact that she wants sex all the fucking time. And Inuyasha is more than happy to deliver at anytime and anywhere.

Now that she is on her eighth week, she and Inuyasha are going to her first ultrasound appointment. She is nervous and excited to be able to see her baby for the first time, that she was up half the night trying to get the sun to come up using some sort of telepathy. When Inuyasha noticed she couldn't sleep, he took her mind off of it and they made the time go by much faster by divulging in each other's bodies. 

"Come on, Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha shook his head as he came out of the bedroom fully dressed and ready. "Would you calm down? It's not like they're gonna take you sooner just because you get there quicker."

"Shut up. I wanna see the baby!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but his smile was genuine as he walked up to her by the door struggling to get her shoes on. He bent down and helped her before standing up straight and leaning in for a sweet kiss. He moved a strand of hair out of her face to behind her ear and she seemed to calm as he stared at her.

"We're gonna see her. No need to stress yourself out."

Kagome pouted and crossed her arms. "Him. You meant to say, 'we're gonna see him'."

Inuyasha chuckled. "Nope. It's a girl."

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him. "We've had this conversation, baka. I know you can't actually sense the gender. I can feel it. I know he's a boy."

Inuyasha's confidence didn't wane as he leaned closer to her mouth. "Definitely a girl. And she's gonna be a little spitfire just like her mama."

Kagome growled. "Hey! Our son is going to be adorable with little doggie ears, and I'm gonna make sure he isn't a cocky idiot like his father!"

"I rest my case."

Her retort was cut short by his mouth decending upon hers.

°•°•°

Kagome's leg is bouncing as she sits in wait in the patient recliner chair, fully donned in a hospital gown. Inuyasha is sitting next to her, holding her hand to try and give her as much comfort as possible.

Soon, Kagome's doctor came in with a warm smile. "It's good to see you both. Are you ready to see the pup?"

Kagome's face lit up as she nodded. "Yes, Kagura-san. I could barely sleep last night, I was so excited."

Kagura chuckled softly as she rolled the ultrasound machine to the other side of Kagome's chair. She got everything ready, Kagome and Inuyasha waited patiently, and then she took Kagome's vitals. Once her blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature was checked and documented, Kagura pulled out the transducer and put a healthy amount of gel on it. She turned to Kagome and moved her gown so her stomach is fully exposed. Kagome's hand tightened on Inuyasha's.

"Okay, Kagome-san. This will be a little cold."

Kagome nodded and flinched as the gel touched her stomach, but otherwise it didn't bother her. She and Inuyasha were staring at the ultrasound machine with bated breath as Kagura moved the probe around, trying to find the right spot.

It seemed like it was forever until they heard it.

A heart beat.

Kagome couldn't prevent the tear that escaped as she stared at the little blob on the machine, listening intently to the heartbeat of her baby. She turned to Inuyasha and she could see his own eyes are a little misty. She looked back at the machine as Kagura spoke.

"This is probably my favorite part of this job. Hearing the heartbeat for the first time."

Kagome wiped her tear away and nodded as she continued to stare at her baby. The little blob that is growing inside of her.

"So, as you both can see, it's still a bit early in the pup's development. For now, it looks like a little bean, but the next time we do an ultrasound, in about ten to fifteen weeks, we will be able to see its arms, legs, even the gender, if you would like."

Kagome was speechless. It didn't matter that her pup was just a bean on a screen. She can hear its heart beating. The little life growing within her has a heart. After a moment to compose herself, she managed to croak out, "th-thank you, Kagura-san."

Kagura smiled as she finished up her assessment and then helped clean the gel off of Kagome's stomach. Once her gown was put back in place, Kagura turned back. "Your due date is estimated to be on May twenty-eighth of next year." She took a few moments, but soon she procured the sonogram and handed it over to Kagome. She handed Inuyasha a second copy and smiled at their obvious joy. "Congratulations, the both of you. I can see how much you both truly love each other and your unborn child."

Kagome's smile was radiant as she held onto Inuyasha's free hand with all of her strength. "Thank you so much, Kagura-san."

Kagome sighed wistfully as Kagura left to give them some privacy. She placed the sonogram aside just long enough to get dressed and then it was back in her hands. She turned to look at Inuyasha, both of them happier than they thought possible.

Inuyasha stepped up and kissed Kagome's forehead. "Come on. Let's go home."

°•°•°

The weekend was finally here, giving Kagome the excuse to relax. It's been tiring hiding her pregnancy at work. Especially when she feels like she has to throw up every hour on the hour. She has been able to get down chicken noodle soup though, so that's something at least.

She sat back on the couch and tucked her head against Inuyasha's chest. She sighed and smiled as she looked down at her sonogram. It all is just so surreal. She's going to have a living breathing baby. She turned and smiled at her hanyou as he rested his hand on her stomach.

"What are you thinkin' 'bout?"

Kagome shrugged, but her smile widened. "How lucky I am."

Inuyasha leaned forward just slightly. "Yeah?"

Kagome nodded and began to close the distance, she mumbled, "yeah," before their lips met languidly. Kagome sighed against his mouth as she reached over and put her ultrasound photo on the coffee table. Then she cradled his jaw with her right hand and swung her leg over his lap to straddle him.

Kagome moaned as she felt him begin to harden beneath her, causing her to lightly rock her body against him. "Make love to me," she murmured against his mouth.

Inuyasha held onto her backside with both hands and stood up, their lips still dancing together as her legs wrap around his waist. He stumbled towards the bedroom as Kagome moaned into his mouth. Just as they were about to pass the threshold, there was a knock at the door. Inuyasha growled as Kagome groaned.

Their mouths separated and Inuyasha let Kagome back down on her feet.

"I'm gonna kill whoever is there."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "No you're not."

Inuyasha began stomping towards the door with Kagome hot on his heels. "Watch me." He swung the door open and they were both surprised to see their visitor.

Kagome stepped next to Inuyasha and looked at her curiosly. "Sango-chan? What're you doing here?"

Sango cocked an eyebrow as she walked in without an invitation, not that she ever needs one. She walked towards the kitchen, her friends following behind, and placed the grocery bag on the table, then turned to face them. "You told me a few days ago that you wanted to hang out on Saturday. You don't remember?"

Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I forgot." She has been more forgetful recently, she realized. "So, what's in the bag?"

Sango grinned as she pulled out two different bottles of wine. "It's been awhile since we had a proper girl's night."

Kagome paled as she saw the alcohol. At Inuyasha's growl, she grabbed his hand and gave him a look. "You know Sango-chan... I don't really feel up to drinking... Why not just chill and watch a movie?" Inuyasha's growl didn't waver, making her elbow him in the stomach. "Ignore him. Just pretend he's my guard dog."

"Oi!"

The girls laughed, but then Sango's curiosity got the better of her. "Since when don't you want to drink some wine?"

Kagome's face reddened as she tried to come up with an answer. "Uh... I've just been under the weather... That's all..."

Sango looked at her inquisitively, but shrugged her shoulders before she grabbed a wine glass and one of the bottles before heading towards the living room. Kagome dragged Inuyasha along by his hand, and then she gasped when she saw she had left her sonogram on the coffee table. She looked between the table and Sango and back. Just as Sango was about to put the bottle of wine down, Kagome let go of Inuyasha's hand and quickly rushed forward to grab the picture and holding it behind her back. Unfortunately, Sango wasn't as naïve as she would have hoped. She easily saw her grab and hide something.

Sango placed the glass and wine bottle down, and crossed her arms. "What was that?"

"Wh-what? What was what? What're talking about? Oooh! Let's watch The Lion King!"

Not buying that answer, she rushed forward and pulled Kagome's hands from behind her back. Inuyasha wasn't expecting that to happen, so he wasn't able to grab the photo in time. Sango looked down at the picture in her hand, then to her best friend and mate, then back down at the photo.

"You-this-uh-what?"

Kagome sighed. "I'm pregnant."

Sango's squeal had Inuyasha's ears pinning to his head. She quickly wrapped Kagome up in a hug, making Kagome laugh. When she pulled away, she was smiling brightly at the soon-to-be parents.

"Why didn't you tell me? How far along are you? Are you excited? This is amazing, Kagome-chan!"

Kagome laughed as she reached back and grabbed her mate's hand, pulling him forward towards the couch. They all sat down, Sango placing the photo back down on the table and then pouring herself a glass of wine. 

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I wanted to wait until after the first trimester. I'm only eight and a half weeks along." She smiled wistfully. "Yes, I'm very excited." 

"I'm so happy for you, Kagome-chan, Inuyasha."

Kagome smiled as she leaned against Inuyasha's side. "Thank you, Sango-chan." She placed her hands on her stomach and sighed wistfully. "I just know he is gonna look just like his father."

"Oi! Quit callin' her a boy, woman!"

Kagome rolled her eyes as Sango laughed. "He is a boy, baka!"

Inuyasha growled as he leaned forward and nipped her on the neck, making her jump and turn a glower at him. "What the hell was that for?"

"For disrespecting your mate and pup. She will be beautiful, just like her mother."

Kagome's heart fluttered, but she couldn't give up the fight for some odd reason. "He will be handsome, just like his papa!"

"She!"

"He!"

"Bitch..."

"Baka."

"Grrr."

"Growl all you want. It doesn't mean you're right."

Sango's laughter cut Inuyasha's retort short, and they both turned, slightly flushed at forgetting their personal audience, and stared at the woman keeled over in laughter. After she was able to calm herself down, she wiped the laughter induced tear away and shook her head in amusement.

"You two are hilarious. How could you manage to yell at each other and compliment each other at the same time?"

Inuyasha and Kagome looked back at each other and then smiled, understanding the hilarity of the situation. Kagome turned back around to lean against her mate as she spoke to her friend. 

"I'm sorry for not telling you, Sango-chan."

Sango waved a hand as if to wave off her worries. "I understand, Kagome-chan. I really am happy for the both of you."

Kagome smiled as Inuyasha's arms wrapped around her to hold her stomach protectively. They spent the next few hours hanging out and decided to watch The Lion King for the nth time because Kagome just had to watch it again. She had also only gotten up to throw up once that entire time, the crackers and ginger ale she had gotten used to consuming doing the trick to help with her nausea.

Once Sango left, Inuyasha was quick to pick Kagome up bridal style and take her into the bedroom. Kagome laughed as she reached up to tweak one of his furry ears.

"What are you doing?"

Inuyasha growled as he laid Kagome down and climbed on top of her, she welcomed him in with a smile and her hands locked behind his neck. "What's it look like? We were interrupted earlier."

Kagome grinned up at him as he leaned down to kiss her. "Hmm... Alright..." Her eyes twinkled mischievously as she pushed him off of her, the sudden movement enough to have him fall backwards, then she straddled him as she began to trail her hands up and down his chest. "...but I get to be on top."

Inuyasha smirked as he flexed his claws. "Then I get to shred your clothes off." Kagome's arousal spiked, and without a chance to respond verbally, her shirt and bra were gone.

Kagome reached down and grabbed the hem of his shirt, quickly pulling it up and over his head, her fingers scorching his skin as she did so. She lifted her hips high enough for him to rip her leggings and panties off also, the remaining cloth being tossed off of the bed. Kagome backed off of him to sit on her knees between his thighs so she could grab the sweatpants he is wearing and pull them along with his boxer briefs down his legs. Inuyasha kicked them the rest of the way off, and then Kagome was back on top of him, her lips crashing down on his.

They both buried their hands in the other's hair as they poured their love and lust into this one kiss. They moaned as their tongues danced together, as they began to grind together, but not yet complete the final act to become fully joined with one another.

Kagome kissed to his chin and then his throat; licking, sucking, and biting marks into his skin. His groans and growls only spurring her on as she gets more and more impatient with her onslaught.

"Ride me, K'Gome."

"Mmm. Not yet." She began to kiss, lick, and nibble down his body, his flesh twitching beneath her caresses. She made sure to pay attention to each and every inch, just as he does for her. His nipples, his abs, his stomach, his hips. She lowered to between his legs, face to face with his long and thick erection, but she payed it no mind for the moment.

Instead, she grabbed the inside of his thighs, one hand on each, and began to rub the knots out, making him moan out at the unexpected pleasure. She followed her hands tactical movements with her mouth and tongue, leaving a trail of saliva up his inner thighs and towards his groin. 

She does the same to each side, when she gets close to his cock, making it twitch in anticipation, she moves to the other leg to repeat the process. Inuyasha's claws are digging into the mattress, leaving more of his marks in the wake of his torture.

"Damn it, woman." It came out as a low timbre, gravelly and animalistic.

It made Kagome moan. She couldn't resist him any longer. She continued to rub his inner thighs, just below his groin, as she leaned forward and fully took him into her mouth. He gasped and groaned as Kagome sucked and licked him with an intensity that had him thrusting uncontrollably.

Kagome bobbed her head up and down as she swirled her tongue around his cock, she paid extra attention to his most sensitive spot just below the tip as she swallowed each drop of precum he would give her.

Seconds turned to minutes, and the longer she went, the wetter she got. She knew he was close, she can always tell when he's about to cum. She also knows he's good for multiple rounds after he does. She moaned against him at the thought. He was mumbling nonsense, thrusting into her mouth and precum dribbling onto her tongue with each suck, she knew he was just at the edge of something fantastic.

And that's when she pulled her mouth away, smirking at his pain-filled whine. His angered snarl was cut short, however, when she straddled him and took him in in one swift movement. He was already so close to the edge, that he came with a howl as soon as she sheathed herself on top of him. She couldn't help the triumphant grin at that. She didn't move on top of him, didn't rock her body, and didn't jump up and down. She allowed him to go as deep as he could go and stayed perfectly still as his back arched off of the bed, and his cock throbbed inside of her, his cum draining inside and coating her walls.

She braced herself on his arms, squeezing them without meaning to, watching his face contort in pleasure, his mouth parted, practically panting like a dog, eyes screwed shut and a sheen of sweat coating his flesh. Kagome moaned as she felt him pulsing, twitching, throbbing deep inside. She can feel the head of him against her cervix, pushing his cum deep inside as she sits still on top of him.

As his body collapsed onto the bed, she rolled her hips just slightly, moaning as she felt how deep, how thick, how fucking amazing he is inside of her. She whimpered as she did it again, and again, and again. The feel of his still fully erect cock so deep and still dribbling his seed inside of her, making her so hot and bothered. His own labored breathing, his hands tightening on her waist, his growling and moaning, making everything that much harder to resist her movements.

She wanted to go hard and fast. But she wanted to go slow and languid. She wanted to cum right now. But she wanted to wait it out and build it up. She wants everything at once and it's making her head spin.

She decided on the next best thing. "Take me, my alpha mate."

In a second, she was on her back with her snarling Inu hanyou pumping his cock in and out of her. He grabbed her legs and pushed them above his shoulders, making her scream at the insanity of this new angle.

She couldn't stop the smile as her eyes rolled back, her nails digging into his upper arms as he takes what he wants from her. Her head lolled backwards as his thrusts increase in pace. She can't keep in a single sound, but she doesn't want to either. The bed is rocking, the headboard is hitting the wall with every thrust, Inuyasha is snarling and his eyes are bleeding red, making her moans and screams of pleasure increase in volume.

She forced her eyes back open to watch as he transforms. His eyes a bright crimson with light blue irises in the center. The purple markings are fully present and jagged on his high cheek bones. His claws and fangs are longer, more dangerous, deadly. His stamina is much much higher than before. He is pounding her into the mattress, faster than he ever has before, she can barely catch her breath as he fucks her harder and harder and harder.

"I-Inu-ah!" She could barely even speak his name. He is acting purely instinctual. Rutting her like an animal, and she is fully here for it.

As soon as she felt her orgasm almost crash over her, he pulled out. She whined and was about to yell, when he flipped her over onto her hands and knees. She barely had enough time to keep herself up before he slammed himself back inside of her. She yelled out in ecstasy as her back arched, allowing him to hit something so deep, it was borderline on painful. But it was also so fucking good, that there was no way she was going to stop him.

'So... fucking... good...' This is the first time he had completely rendered her speechless. She can't say what she wants to. That she loves him. That he feels so good deep inside of her. How thick and big his cock is, and how only he can do this to her. She wants to scream his name. Beg him to take her, beg him for his cum, beg him to give her everything. But she can't utter a single word.

She managed to squeak out a syllable here and there, but nothing tangible. Her mind is turning into putty as he pounds into her with reckless abandon. She can feel how his claws are piercing the skin on her waist, but the slight sting is only heightening her pleasure.

He leaned his body over her, their height difference making it easy for him to reach her neck with his fangs. She gasped as he grazed her mark with his sharp canines, making him growl in response.

"Mine."

Kagome whimpered as his deep voice reverberated from his chest to her back, his thrusts more and more punishing as he claims her from behind. She used every single ounce of strength to utter a response.

"Y-y-yes!"

He snarled as his fangs pierced her, on the other side of her neck, where no mark lay. She screamed, a mix of pain and pleasure wracking her entire body as his longer than usual fangs sink into her flesh. She felt the biggest orgasm of her life hit her at once, her walls clenching and unclenching around his cock as he continues to fuck her harder and faster.

She couldn't hold herself up on her hands any longer. Her arms collapse under her and she gasped as she turned her head slightly to the side so she could still breathe. In this movement, her ass got raised higher, making him hit an even deeper angle inside of her. She screamed out as the pleasure-pain caused another huge orgasm to rush throughout her body. His fangs are still sunken within her, his claws slightly piercing her, his cock pounding into her as orgasm after orgasm rushes through her. She felt him falter in his thrusts as he grunted, pulsing inside of her. The knowledge of him releasing his seed deep inside, made her shudder and cry out in rapture once more.

The next thing she knew, she was laying on her side, her head resting in the crook of Inuyasha's underarm, his normal hanyou claws raking up and down her arm lightly. She blinked a few times and then turned her head to look into his golden eyes. She smiled at him, but then saw a look of guilt and worry shine through those fiery eyes. She lifted her right hand and cupped his cheek.

"Inuyasha? You okay?" She could feel how sore her throat is from the amount of screaming and moaning she had done. She saw his flinch and the wilt of his ears as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Kagome."

She shook her head before she leaned up and kissed him softly. "Don't be. You didn't do anything wrong."

"How can you say that? I hurt you. I left marks on you!" He sat up quickly and turned to stare at her with tears in his eyes. "You're carrying my pup and I acted like a fucking animal! You should hate me!"

Kagome sighed as she sat up also, wincing slightly at the soreness in her body. She saw his flinch and the wilt of his ears, making her sigh, wondering how she will be able to convince him that everything is okay. She reached forward and grabbed his hands in hers. She idly played with his claws, one by one, for a few moments before daring to speak.

"I wasn't complaining, Inuyasha. If you didn't notice, I liked what we did."

He looked away from her. "I could have seriously hurt you, Kagome. I could have hurt the pup."

Kagome smiled warmly as she took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "But you didn't, and I know you never would. Your youkai half didn't actually hurt me, Inuyasha." She felt the bite mark with the tips of her fingers. It is still a little raw, but it is already healing nicely. "I'm your mate. I heal faster now. I'm not just a weak human anymore, Inu. Sure, you'll have to be less rough further along in the pregnancy, but what we just did, isn't going to hurt the baby."

He looked back at her with a sigh. He moved the blanket off of her to check the marks on her waist. Barely distinguishable dots where his claws were. He has to admit, if he fully lost all control, she would be way more hurt than that. He slowly laid her down, Kagome willingly submitting to what he needs. She watched as he traced the small marks with his finger and then leaned forward to lick them. She sighed as she reached forward to brush his bangs out of his face and then lightly stroke his ear. With a few more strokes of his tongue on each side of her waist, the small marks were fully healed.

She smiled at him as he crawled up her body, peppering soft kisses along the way. She lowered her hand to his back and cradled him close as he rested his body flush against hers. He kissed her softly before kissing towards the fresh bite on her right shoulder. She closed her eyes and sighed as his saliva began to heal the wound. She stroked his back, silently showing him that she isn't upset with him, but she won't deny his need to heal her either.

He seemed to understand, his body becoming less tense as he held her, licked her, moved towards her lips to kiss her. She unconsciously spread her legs as their mouths began to move with more of a purpose. She let out a soft moan as his own hips jerked in response to her body's open invitation.

She gasped when she felt the tip of his newly formed erection slide along her core. She moved her hands to his cheeks to hold him still as she pulled her mouth just a breath away from his. "Make love to me, Inuyasha."

His golden eyes practically glowed in the darkness of the room. The moon shining through the window, making his silvery hair stand out just as much. His fangs glistened as he stared at her. The love shining in those otherworldly eyes, making tears come to her own.

As a tear managed to fall, Inuyasha leaned forward and licked it away, making Kagome's eyes close and a content smile appear on her face.

"Please Inuyasha. Love me."

He did as she asked, slipping inside of her slowly, making her gasp and moan as she felt him fill her inch by inch until he was fully sheathed within her. She wrapped her arms back around him and held him to her body, needing this closeness, his love.

"Always," he murmured against her lips before closing the distance once more.

Kagome couldn't prevent the onslaught of emotions that hit her out of no where. Whether this is because of her hormones from her pregnancy, or because of something else entirely, she doesn't know. She does know, however, that as she raises her body with each of his languid thrusts, as she feels his soft lips against her own, his tongue seeking hers out, his claws raking up and down her body... she knows that she will never forget this feeling. The feeling of contentment, of pure love, pure happiness. No matter what comes in the future, they will get through it together.

Her head lolled backwards as he kissed back down to her neck, this time to the side where her mating mark lay, and kisses is lovingly, sending small shocks of pleasure down her body. She moaned as she lifted her hips with each of his gentle movements, the feel of his body, so warm, so perfect, moving within hers, is the most amazing feeling in the world.

The knowledge that their baby, their little pup, is growing within her at this very moment as they show their love with small kisses, moans, caresses, and movements, makes more tears burn behind her eyelids.

Inuyasha kissed back to her lips, making her smile as she holds him to her tighter, she sighs against his mouth as they move together in a rhythm that has them both panting, breath mingling with breath, their lips and tongues refusing to part for even a moment.

"I love you," she couldn't help but say between kisses.

"I love you more," Inuyasha replied in the same manor.

Kagome giggled softly, which ended on a pleasured moan as their bodies continued to dance together. "I love you way more, dog-boy," Kagome said as she began to scratch his ears, making his face fall to the crook of her neck and a husky moan leave his parted lips.

"Ka-Go...Me," he moaned out a broken version of her name as she rubbed his ears and moved her body in just the right way from beneath him.

"Gods, Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha grunted and groaned as he sped up his movements, Kagome moaned softly as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Inuyasha lifted his face from where he was laying and stared into her eyes. Kagome's lips parted as she stared at him, so beautiful, so ethereal. The look in his golden gaze alone is what was her undoing as her body shook with yet another orgasm. 

She moaned out his name just before he grunted hers and then their lips met once more. They ride out their highs as their lips and tongues dance together in perfect harmony. Kagome's nails digging into his back as her orgasm peaks, and then she loosens her grip as she begins to come down.

After a few moments, his movements slowed, and then stopped altogether. He pulled out and rolled off of her, pulling her close to his side. He kissed the side of her head as she cuddled in close, making her smile and close her eyes. She let out a yawn, making Inuyasha chuckle softly.

"Go to sleep, Kagome."

Kagome wrapped her arms around him and cuddled in deeper. "M'kay."

After a few moments of silence, Kagome spoke. "Inuyasha?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you." 

Inuyasha sighed contently and kissed the top of her head. "I love you too." 

Kagome smiled lazily and allowed sleep to overcome her.

°•°•°

Kagome yawned as she woke up to the smell of coffee and a full western breakfast. She rested her hand on her stomach and smiled. It's not noticable through clothing, but she has a very small baby bump now that she is thirteen weeks along.

Her eyes fluttered open as the bedroom door opened and she sat up in bed to see her amazing mate bringing in a tray of food. She stretched her aching limbs and crossed her legs as he set the tray over her lap. Eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice. She held her hands out in a grabby motion when she saw the coffee in his hands. He rolled his eyes but smiled as he handed it to her, then crawled onto the bed and sat next to her, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"That's decaf."

Kagome nodded as she turned and gave him a smacking kiss on the mouth before drinking some of her non caffeinated coffee. "I know, I know. It's bad for the baby. I'm not an idiot Inuyasha."

"Keh. No, but you are addicted to coffee."

Kagome smiled as she took a bite of her bacon and looked over at him. "I'm not going to endanger our pup, Inu."

Inuyasha smiled warmly at her as he affectionately rubbed her nose with his, making her giggle. She pulled back and fed him a piece of bacon, laughing as he eagerly took it, almost biting her fingers in the process. She gasped as she pulled her hand away.

"Hey! You almost bit me!"

He smirked as he licked his lips. "Last I checked, you like it when I bite you."

A pleasurable shiver wracked her body. She shook her head as she continued to nibble at her breakfast. "Yeah yeah."

Inuyasha reached over and rested his hand on her bare stomach, feeling the small swell of his pup. She looked over into his shining golden eyes and she smiled, placing her free hand atop of his. "We're finally at the start of the second trimester."

Inuyasha nodded with a warmth in his eyes that she always loves to see. "How're you feelin'? Still no morning sickness?"

Kagome nodded her head happily and took a sip of her juice. "Not for almost a week now. I'm glad that's finally over. I felt like I was never gonna stop puking." She made a disgusted face and shook her head.

Inuyasha's smile widened as he nuzzled the side of her face, just content to sit there as she ate. For the next short while, she would take small bites and then feed him some also. She laughed and shoved him when he pretended to accidentally nip at her fingers when she fed him the bacon. He chuckled in return before kissing her.

Kagome moaned as his kiss became more heated, scorching her, making her want anything and everything. They didn't care when the tray fell to the floor, there wasn't that much left on it anyway. Kagome happily submitted to his touch as he laid her down on her back, climbing on top of her and nudging her legs apart with his knees. She held him close by the back of the neck as he slipped inside of her, making her sigh and moan in bliss.

Her head lolled to the side, giving him access to her neck with his lips and tongue and fangs. She held him close to her heart as he showed her with his body how much he loves her, cherishes her, lives for her. She showed him in return with her submission, her acceptance, her soft sighs and moans of pleasure. The way she gasped out his name as he rocked his body within her, the way she held him close to her as if afraid to let go, as if afraid he would disappear.

Their bodies moved, writhed, thrusted, melded together. It's as if they are each a part of a puzzle piece and the other is their perfect match. They fit together so well, both in body, and in soul. Their hearts yearn for one another, their souls call out to each other. The moment Inuyasha was born, the red string of fate connected them. There was no way to deny their connection, no way to prevent the yearning. No way to stop the inevitable.

Their love will always prevail. As they make love, as their pup grows within Kagome's womb, as they raise their children and grow old for next millenia, and the next one after that, and the next... They will remember what it was like to first fall in love, what it was like to have their first pup, what it was like to be one with each other over and over again.

The feel of his body thrusting into hers over and over again is so incredible, so sweet, so cherishable. The feel of his lips on hers, his tongue dancing around her own, the sound of his growl and the way their breaths mingle together...

Kagome felt as he made sure to keep his weight off of her stomach, tears stinging her eyes as he lightly rested his left hand on the small swell of her abdomen. She lowered her own hand to rest upon his, the both of them holding their pup close as they prove for the nth time how much they love each other, want each other, crave one another.

They writhed together, moaning and groaning and sighing each other's names. They each let go, falling over the edge of complete felicity, Kagome's walls fluttering around his shaft as he emptied his seed deep inside of her. As their bodies slowed, and their breaths came in short pants, they held each other.

Inuyasha soon pulled out and flopped to his back next to her, pulling her against him, smiling lazily as she cuddles in close. The afterglow of their lovemaking, bringing a euphoric fog to envelope both of their senses.

A few more moments pass and then they heard a clink of dishes and they sat up to look over the side of the bed. Kagome laughed as Inuyasha growled. Isamu, the not so small anymore pup, is licking the plate clean from when they hastily got rid of it in their fleet to join.

Kagome shook her head in amusement before she turned and gave Inuyasha a quick kiss and then stood up, pulled on Inuyasha's t-shirt from the night before, then began picking up the dishes. Inuyasha huffed as he stood up also, pulled on a pair of boxer briefs, and then helped Kagome with the dishes as well.

Once that was finished, they lounged on the couch together, Kagome's feet propped up on Inuyasha's lap as she works on grading some papers from her class. Inuyasha is rubbing her feet as he watches the television, but then curiosity got the better of him.

He turned to look at his mate and spoke, "how'd I do?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and looked up from her work to give him an incredulous look. "You know I can't tell you until I hand everyone their tests back, baka."

Inuyasha growled and huffed and crossed his arms, effectively stopping his massaging of her feet. "Feh. See if I do anything nice for you again."

Kagome laughed at the clear pout on his face. "Ya know...," she drawled out slowly, "...I'm kinda craving some peanut butter."

Inuyasha's ears perked up as he looked at her. Without a second thought, he moved her feet to the side and rushed to the kitchen, grabbing the creamy peanut butter and a spoon, and bringing it back to her. Her triumphant grin had him pause as he was about to hand it over. His ear twitched and his scowl appeared on his handsome face, making her stifle the laugh that wanted to break free.

"Keh! Ya tried to trick me!" He sat down on the couch, opened the peanut butter and to a massive bite of it. "Well, now it's mine."

Kagome sighed as she moved the papers over to the coffee table and then slowly crawled over to him. She saw the way he was trying not to pay attention to her, making her smile even more. She slowly climbed into his lap, straddling him, and the leaned forward to lick the spoon he was holding in front of his mouth.

"Mmm," she exaggeratingly moaned.

She licked her lips and watched as his hand loosened on the spoon as he watched her seductive movements. She leaned towards him and hummed softly as her lips met with his, then slowly reached forward and pulled the spoon out of his hand, grinning against his mouth as she so easily got what she wanted. She grabbed the jar of peanut butter from his other hand and moaned as he wrapped his arms around her. She rocked her body against his and when she pulled her mouth away, she saw his eyes shut tightly.

She smirked as she stuck the spoon into the peanut butter and shoved it into her mouth, moaning softly at the taste. "'ank ou, I'u," she managed to barely get the words out through the mouth full of peanut butter.

Inuyasha's eyes snapped open and a menacing growl tore from his throat. His hands tightened on her back and he glared at her as she took another bite of her treat. "Damn it, bitch. That is so unfair."

Kagome swallowed her snack and laughed, her brown eyes twinkling with mischief. "All is fair in love and war, Inu."

Before she could even take another bite, the peanut butter and spoon was snatched out of her hand and put onto the side table on his side of the couch. She squealed when he immediately tackled her to the couch, straddling her and grabbing both of her wrists in his left hand to hold them down above her head.

Kagome's breath caught as he leaned in close to her mouth. She licked her lips as she looked from his mouth to his eyes. "Th-this is what's unfair. You're stronger than me."

Inuyasha brushed his lips against hers, making her whimper and try to lift her face for more, but his hold on her tightened. "All is fair in love and war, Ka-Go-Me," he mocked in a sing song voice.

"I-Inu..."

"Shuddup." He cut off her retort with his lips, a breathy moan escaping her throat.

°•°•°

Kagome is sitting at her teacher's desk with her left hand hidden underneath the table lightly rubbing the small baby bump under her shirt. She has a red pen in her right hand, working on grading some quizzes while her students silently work on their current projects. She glanced up at Inuyasha, smiling slightly at the look of pure love in his golden gaze, making her blush and look back down at her desk.

She can hardly believe she is thirteen and a half weeks pregnant already. It feels like it was just yesterday when she confessed to her mate that she really does love him. Since then, they have been inseparable. Sure, they have arguments just like any other couple, but their bond is so strong that none of that other stuff matters, as long as they are together.

Now that she is in her second trimester, they told the rest of friends and family about the baby. Inuyasha's parents were thrilled, excited for more grandchildren to spoil. Kagome called up her old friends from highschool since they still keep in touch every now and then, and told them. She had mentioned that she had found her soulmate and that he is a demon and they mated. Yuka and Eri were skeptical at first, asking about the guy they have never met. They drilled her well, and she answered just about each one without pause. The only question she faltered with was when Eri asked how old he is. She had stumbled over her words and just blurted out that he is twenty-five.

She cringed to herself when she thought about it. She shouldn't have lied to them. She should have just told them he is eighteen years old. She shook her head at that thought. Her old friends have always been a little meddlesome. If she said one thing that was weird or off in their eyes, they would throw a fit and demand to know why she doesn't just marry Hojo.

Well, except for Ayumi, she supposed. She was happy for her the second she mentioned she found her soulmate, and that she was expecting a baby in about six months. The woman had squealed and congratulated her in about a million different ways. It made her smile to know that some things never change.

Then they asked to meet him. She didn't know quite what to say, so she told them that she works at the school a lot so they'll have to figure it out some other time. That seemed to stop the barrage of questions for the time being and they said their goodbyes and hung up.

Kagome had also met Rin's adoptive father about a week ago when she and Inuyasha were invited over for dinner with the family. Kagome was surprised to see that her father, Jaken, is a small green Imp youkai. The odd way he praised Sesshomaru had her chuckling to herself. Apparently, his daughter couldn't have been blessed with a better mate than 'Sesshomaru-sama'.

Kagome shook her thoughts free as the final bell of the day rang. She smiled and collected her students worksheets as she handed them their graded quizzes from the other day. As usual, Inuyasha was the last in line, and after she collected his sheet, put it in the pile, and handed him his graded quiz, she smiled as he put his paper away in his bag and then walked around the desk. He got down on his knees in front of her and placed his clawed hand on the small swell of her stomach beneath her shirt.

"Go on, I know you want to."

Inuyasha blushed, but his smile was evident as he raised her shirt just enough to expose her abdomen and then he turned his head and put his right doggie ear up against her. She rubbed the other ear as she watched his face light up when he detected their pup's heart beating. This is something he has been trying to do since they had first heard the heart beat on the ultrasound machine. The first time he could finally hear it for himself with his advanced hearing was only about two and a half weeks ago, and she will never allow that image to disappear from her mind of him listening to their baby for the first time ever.

She lightly stroked his ear and smiled when he lifted his head to look at her with his bright golden eyes. Kagome held her hand out and he easily took it as he stood, helping her to stand also. She situated her shirt back to normal and smiled up at him.

"Come on, let's go home." Her eyes lit up as she looked at him. "Oh! You know what sounds good?" She ignored Inuyasha's knowing grin, and continued. "A big juicy steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and garlic bread." She paused for a second. "Oh! With extra extra garlic."

Inuyasha shook his head in amusement as he took her hand and dragged her out of the classroom. He used his senses to know whether or not anyone is near so they can walk together without worrying of being seen. "Why don't I take you out to dinner and you can order whatever the pup is craving?"

Kagome smiled as she squeezed his hand. "He really wants coffee."

Inuyasha side eyed her dubiously. "She ain't gonna be drinkin' that crap until she's a hundred."

Kagome pouted and crossed her arms as they made it to his car. They started going to school together every day, just with extra caution not to be seen by other teachers or the principal. "He can start drinking coffee when he is fifteen. That's when I started. And anyway, you said whatever the pup wants. He wants caffeine." She whimpered as she buckled herself in and placed her hands on her stomach. She lolled her head to the side to look at her mate pitifully. "Pleeeasseee, Inu... I'll give you something you really like in return..." She managed a seductive smile, which he did not fall for as he pulled out of the parking lot.

"How about no. And you do that anyway, because you know you love it just as much as I do."

Kagome sighed, but couldn't deny his claim. It is true after all. "But you said that I could have a little caffeine a day and it wouldn't hurt the pup. The doctor said it was fine too."

Inuyasha glanced at her and sighed. "Fine." He interrupted her squeal of happiness. "But only two hundred milligrams a day. That's what a normal human pregnancy can have, so that's what you're gonna have."

Kagome smiled and bounced in her seat as she practically drooled at the thought of her delicious coffee.

Speaking of delicious...

She gave him a sultry look as she reached over and began unbuttoning his pants.

"Wh-what're ya doin'?"

Kagome laughed as she pulled the zipper down and then pulled his already half hard cock out of the fly of his boxer briefs. "What does it look like? I'm gonna suck you off." She began to lightly stroke him, watching as he struggled to keep his eyes on the road as he drove.

"K-Kagome..."

She smiled as she leaned over and took the head of him into her mouth.

"Ungh! Fuck... K-Kagome, i-is that position okay for the p-pup?"

Kagome moaned and pulled her mouth away, but didn't look up at him, wanting to watch as his cock continued to grow in size as she turned him on. "Mm-hmm. Pup's fine, Inu." She leaned back down and licked around the mushroom head of him, making him groan and her moan in response to his own arousal.

She stroked him into her mouth as she opened wide for him, taking him in the best she could from this angle. She breathed in deeply and moaned as she sucked precum out of him and swallowed it down. She inwardly smirked as he fought to stay focused on the road, his knuckles turning white on the steering wheel, his grunts and growls unable to be stifled no matter how much he tried. 

She sped up her movements, nearly laughing when he had accidentally hit the gas too hard before going back to the correct speed. She pulled away to speak two words, "cruise control," then she sucked him back into her mouth. She could tell he listened as his foot moved off of the gas, giving her an easier angle.

"Fuck, Kagome..."

"Mmm," she moaned in agreement as her eyes rolled back and she jerked him faster and faster into her mouth.

She continued to lick, suck, and jerk him to her heart's content for a long while, loving the sounds of his continued pleasure. His moans, groans, growls, and broken words, are making her wetter and wetter as she sucks him off. 

"Oh fuck, oh fuck! K-Kag-Ahng!" He thrust up into her and she moaned as she tasted his cum once again. She barely noticed his foot moving and the car slowing as they turned, so caught up in the thrill of making him feel so good while he was driving.

She swallowed everything he had to offer, then made sure to lick him clean before pulling away from him. She tucked him back into his underwear and then zipped and buttoned him back up before turning and looking into his eyes, licking her lips with a contented moan.

She barely recognized that they had somehow made it all the way home before she was pulled into his arms, his lips and tongue against hers, making her moan and her hands grasp the front of his school uniform.

She pulled back after a moment, out of breath and eyes half lidded. "W-well, come on. We gotta get ready to go out on that date you promised."

Inuyasha growled, but relented. "Alright, woman. But after dinner, I'm having you for dessert." He accentuated his meaning by licking his lips, making her entire body shudder in response.

They were quick to take care of Isamu and then got dressed to go out to dinner. Inuyasha donned a pair of jeans and a red button down shirt. Kagome put on a pair of skinny jeans and a light green blouse. She grabbed her purse and phone, and met him at the door as he grabbed his wallet and they both put on their shoes as they left.

When they made it to the restaurant, out of town in another place known for mated couples, they sat across from one another at a two person booth. 

"May I take your drink order?" The waiter - a kitsune hanyou - asked nicely.

"Oh, I want chocolate milk." 

Inuyasha looked at her like she was insane. "Chocolate milk?"

Kagome looked sheepish as she placed her hands on her stomach. "The baby said he wanted to try it."

The waiter chuckled as he wrote down her drink order as Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "She didn't say that. But whatever. Get your kiddy drink." Kagome glared at him, but he ignored her as he looked at the waiter. "I'll just have a water."

The waiter bowed and left after saying he'll be back with their drinks and to take their orders soon.

Kagome crossed her arms and continued to glower at her irritating mate.

"What?"

"You were rude."

Inuyasha let out a long suffering sigh as he reached across the table and grabbed her hand, uncrossing her arms in the process. "Sorry. I'm sure the pup would love whatever you get to eat and drink."

Kagome smiled, seemingly wonderfully happy again as she looked down at the menu. Inuyasha pulled his hand back and opened his own menu, shaking his head in amusement at his obviously hormonal pregnant mate.

Soon, they had ordered food and everything arrived. Kagome was practically drooling as she picked up her utensils and began to dig into her steak. She was slightly disappointed that she couldn't have it medium-rare like she wanted, Inuyasha forbidding her from having anything undercooked. But as she took a hefty bite of her steak with mashed potatoes and buttery garlic sauce, she moaned and didn't even care that it was well done.

"This is the best steak I have ever had."

Inuyasha chuckled as he ate into his own steak. He felt bad that Kagome couldn't have it cooked the way she wanted, so he got his well done also. She had told him it was fine, but he refused to eat or drink anything she couldn't eat or drink. She is going through the hard part of carrying their pup, the least he could do is alter his diet a little bit along with her.

"You're beautiful." 

Kagome looked up into his eyes, his soft smile gracing his features. Truthfully, she has her mouth over filled with multiple bites of food, as she devoured her meal like, well, like a pregnant woman. But the fact that she is pregnant, with his pup, and feeding their pup well, makes her even more beautiful every day he looks at her.

Kagome swallowed the mouth full of food and had the grace to blush. She didn't know quite what to say, so caught up in her meal and then to be complimented so seriously, made her flustered. She smiled as she continued to eat, albeit a little less rushed than before. She blushed harder at Inuyasha's chuckle as he also, continued his own meal.

°•°•°

When they made it home, they took care of Isamu and then got ready for bed. They took separate showers and then jumped into bed together, forgoing any clothing, which has been their go-to sleep attire nowadays. Inuyasha went through with his promise of feasting on his dessert, bringing Kagome to orgasm multiple times with just his mouth and tongue, before taking his time in making love to her for a while afterwards.

By the time they were both sated, they were very exhausted, falling asleep in each other's arms within moments.

°•°•°

Kagome walked into her classroom a few minutes before the bell, Inuyasha not too far behind. As she walked around her desk, she paused as she looked at the computer. There is a note taped to it, the letters on the note looked to be cut out of a news paper. She tentatively reached forward to grab it, but was quickly stopped by Inuyasha grabbing her and pulling her back. She gasped, but didn't question him when he growled and bent down towards the note to sniff it.

"Damn."

Kagome shook her head out of her shock so she could speak. "Wh-what is it?"

"There ain't a scent on it."

"What does it mean?"

Inuyasha looked at the note and looked back at her. He stood up straight and put a clawed hand to her stomach. Her eyes widened as she fully understood. She shook her head and reached around him to grab the note. He didn't stop her this time, not needing to because he has already checked for any scent.

She held the note in both hands and stared at it, confusion, worry, anger, fear, all battling within her.

I know your secret.

Kagome shook her head and stuffed the note into her back pocket. "It doesn't matter. It's probably just one of the students trying to mess with me."

Inuyasha sighed as he rested his forehead against hers. "I promise Kagome, no one will do anything to you or the pup."

Kagome smiled and kissed himself softly. "I know. Now have a seat before the bell rings."

Inuyasha chuckled, but she could still see the worry shining in those golden pools of honey. He kissed her once again before doing as she said and walking to his desk to sit down. Kagome sat at her own desk just as the bell rang and her students began to file in. She looked at them all, more closely than usual, and she couldn't imagine any of them putting a weird note up for her to find.

She sighed as she placed her hand on her stomach. She's only fourteen weeks along and it isn't even noticeable through her clothes yet. She knows her demon blooded students know that she's pregnant, so there really wouldn't be a point to leaving a note that says that, would there? Her only other secret, would be sleeping with one of her students, which is also something her demon blooded students know about.

So, who could have left that note? What did it mean?

She mentally shrugged that off for now. It's just one random note, and Inuyasha will always protect her, she knows that for certain. So she pushes those other thoughts away for the time being to focus instead on her teaching, her relationship, and her growing baby.

°•°•°

Another two weeks go by and Kagome had pretty much forgotten about that strange note left on her computer in her classroom. She and Inuyasha have been watching her baby bump get slightly bigger, Inuyasha constantly wanting to listen to the pup's heart beat.

Now, as they lounge in the living room on another Saturday, Inuyasha's head is in her lap with his ear pressed against her stomach. She is idly messing with the downy hairs on the inside of his other ear as she watches the television.

"You're so beautiful. Have I told you?"

Kagome's face turned pink as a smils curved her lips upwards, and she looked down into his golden eyes. "About a million times."

"Make that a million and one, then." He raised his hand to her face and cupped her cheek, his thumb tracing her bottom lip. "So beautiful," he murmured.

Kagome felt the immediate heat coursing through her veins at his soft spoken words and the fiery amber burning a whole through her from his eyes. She grabbed his hand from her face and held it close, playing with each of his claws slowly. She smiled down at him before pushing him off and standing up. She held her hand out and he grabbed it with a grin as he stood up also.

She leaned up and brushed her lips against his. "Come on." She pressed her lips more firmly against his and smiled into the kiss when he let out a rumbly purr. 

She pulled back quickly and grinned mischievously. "Catch me." She turned and began to run towards the bedroom, laughing at the look of shock on her hanyou's face.

She heard his husky chuckle as he followed her to the bedroom, not running, not walking, more like stalking. She turned as she got to the door of the bedroom and gulped at the ferel look in his eyes. She froze, unable to move, as he began to slowly move upon her. It was like she was his pray, and at any moment he could pounce. A shiver coursed through her body at that thought.

She backed up a step when he moved towards her, a ferel grin on his face, his eyes slightly pink. She knows just how to bring his youkai to the surface, and she knows doing so will make their mating extra fun. She also knows that he won't ever hurt her, he always makes sure their pup is okay, and she is okay. The worst he has ever done was that one bite one time, ever since then, he hasn't bitten into her flesh quite so hard, even in demon form.

She backed up again and again and again, each step back she takes, he takes another one forward. She watched as he stepped into the bedroom and calmly closed the door, the click of the lock the only sound in the otherwise quiet room. Her pulse was thundering in her ears as he turned back around and pinned her with an animalistic look that clearly stated fun was to come.

"Clothes, or I shred them."

She didn't think twice. She pulled off her shirt, unclipped her bra, pushed down her pants and panties and then stood there, her legs against the bed, fully naked while Inuyasha's formidable eyes rake over her flushed skin.

She watched as he stalked just a few steps closer, his eyes looking up and down her body, making her heart stutter. She saw him stare at her stomach longer than he had looked anywhere else and it made her blush. If she didn't know exactly what he thought of her due to their mate bond, she would have felt self conscious. But as it stands, she could only smile and put a hand to the small swell of her abdomen.

His eyes shot back to hers, a low growl escaping him, and then in seconds, his clothes were in tatters on the floor and he had her pinned to the mattress. She gasped at the sudden movement, his hands on hers above her head, his body making sure not to press too hard against her stomach, his golden eyes, slightly pinkened around the edges, boring into her own brown ones.

"What do you want?"

Kagome shuttered, a shiver racing up and down her spine. "Y-you."

He growled as his lips brushed hers. "How do you want me?"

She whimpered. The huskiness in his voice. The way he dominates her, yet submits to her whims at the same time, makes her swoon. "I-I..." She swallowed and took a few seconds to calm her heart rate before speaking again. "D-doggie. I-I want you to fuck me from behind."

His growl was deep, primal, sexy as all hell, and then his lips were on hers, making her moan, her blood burning to a raging inferno within her veins. Her arms struggled within his grasp, but he didn't relent. Not until he claimed her mouth fully, before he claimed her from behind just as she said she wanted. His tongue swirled around hers, her own swiping along his sharp fangs. They moaned and whimpered and groaned together. 

She didn't see it coming, until he was suddenly off of her and she was turned over, carefully not to hurt her due to her condition, and then brought onto her hands and knees in front of him. He rested his body across her back, his tongue darting out to tease the shell of her ear, making her shiver in delight.

"I-Inu..."

"Don't move."

He didn't say anything else as he moved off of her and left the bed. She did as she was told, taking this moment to calm herself down. She can already feel the wetness between her thighs from how worked up she is. She heard shuffling, and then her face grew warm. She knew what he was doing. They have played with a couple of her toys recently, but only the different vibrators. She stifled a moan as she thought of him ramming into her from behind while vibrations stimulate her clit.

This time, she couldn't prevent her moan as she felt him on his knees behind her, the tip of his hardened cock lightly rubbing her arousal around her, getting them both ready for the inevitable.

She heard the sound of a bottle being opened and then a cold liquid being poured down the crease of her ass. She shuttered and bit her lip, knowing what was to come next. After that first time, they have messed around with his fingers as he fucked her a few more times. And each time, it surprised her just how much she actually enjoys it.

She moaned when she felt the pad of his finger rub small circles over that puckered opening as the tip of his cock slides inside of her pussy. She let her head hang low as she whimpered from his magical touch.

Suddenly, he was gone. He pulled his dick away and his fingers no longer toyed with her, making her whine out in protest. She heard his throaty chuckle, and it took everything in her not to turn around and pin him to the bed instead. Her reasoning being, she wants him to do whatever it is he is planning.

She heard the bottle again, but this time no liquid got poured on her. She wondered what he was doing, but then she felt something familiar that she hasn't felt since before they started sleeping together.

"I-Inuyasha?" She moaned as she felt it get deeper and deeper, her walls fluttering around it, making her arch her back.

"What's wrong, Ka-Go-Me? I know you've used it before." he teased, as the dildo bottomed out inside of her.

Kagome whimpered as she pushed back against it, not quite used to having anything other than her mate inside of her. "I... n-not in a while, Inu."

She gasped when she felt something else she hasn't felt before now. Now she knows what he used so much lube on. The tip of his cock probed her ass, making her eyes widen and a pleasurable chill go through her body. This is something she has thought about a couple of times since he first fingered her there, but she was a little embarrassed to ask to try it. And she never thought he would use the dildo at the same time.

"You okay, my mate?"

She nodded her head as her breathing became labored. A broken moan escaped as she felt him push his entire head inside. Then she keened as he pulled the dildo out and pushed that in also. Her hands fisted the sheets below her. Her eyes pinched shut. Her heart rate escalated.

And then he stopped.

"I-Inu?"

The hand not holding the dildo moved to her lower back and began to rub there. "I'm not hurting you, am I?"

She shook her head quickly. So quickly, that he must have found amusement in it by the soft chuckle she heard.

"Do you want it deeper?"

She nodded her head and gasped when she felt more lube dribble down between her cheeks. He pulled out and rubbed the lube onto his cock and then pushed slowly back in. Kagome whimpered as he went a little deeper than before. She gasped and cried out when the dildo began to move in and out of her pussy in a slow and even pace as he began the same with just the tip of his cock in her ass.

"B-baby, please!"

"What do you want?"

Kagome moaned and pushed herself backwards, taking both his cock in her ass and the dildo in her pussy even deeper than before, making her gasp and arch her back even further. "M-more!"

Inuyasha grabbed her right hip as his left hand wrapped around her to get a better angle on the dildo. He pulled both cocks out to their tips, Kagome waited in anticipation for what's to come, and then he thrust forward just enough for her to take half of him in her ass, but the dildo slid as deeply as it could go.

Kagome's mouth dropped open, her arms and legs are shaking, her heart is racing, her pulse is hammering in her ears. She can't help the begging whimper as he stilled inside of her, obviously not wanting to hurt her. She does admit to herself that it was a little odd at first, but the more he stimulates her, the better it feels. At this point, she is so worked up, she just wants it all, right now.

"P-please, baby, fuck me." It was just above a whisper, her voice cracking as she whimpered from being double penetrated. She heard his vicious growl as his hand on her hip tightened, his claws lightly pricking her.

She let out a drawn out moan as both cocks pulled all the way out to the tips, and then they slammed back in, both of them as deep as they could go. He stilled for another moment, Kagome's eyes widened, mouth agape, heart racing. She feels so completely full. She never thought it could feel so good. 

"Ya like it, baby? Ya like being filled so well?"

She whimpered once more as she tried to find her voice. "Y-yes!"

He snarled, baring his fangs, as he pulled out and pushed back in, Kagome's whines and moans filling his ears. 

"F-faster!"

He didn't waste a second. He let go of the dildo and held onto both of her hips as he began to fuck her ass hard and fast. Kagome yelled out in pleasure as she began to move back and forth with him. He leaned over her back and trailed his tongue up her spine until he reached the mark on her shoulder and sucked it hard, making her groan.

"Reach down and fuck yourself with the toy, Kagome."

She lowered her face into the pillow and did as she was told. She used her right hand to grab onto the dildo and began to pull it out and push it back inside of her as he fucked her harder and faster. 

"Oh, Gods yes!"

Inuyasha growled as his grip on her hips tightened. He began to push in and out of her tight opening with abandon as Kagome's hand moved the dildo faster and faster inside of her. Kagome moaned as she lowered her left hand also and barely stroked her clit. She gasped out a curse and stroked herself just right to stay at the edge. She could feel her walls fluttering as she keeps herself from falling over, wanting this feeling of being suspended to never end.

"Fuck." Inuyasha cursed as he started to fuck her harder and harder. Kagome nearly screamed at the intensity of both cocks inside of her. She tried to keep herself suspended on the edge, tried not to fall over, she even moved her hand away from her clit to keep herself going as long as possible, but in the end it was futile.

She felt herself begin to fall. Her entire body started to tingle. She could feel it as her toes curled, as he hit so deep inside of her. She fucked herself as hard as she could with the dildo, ignoring the burn in her arm from utilizing all her energy. She couldn't stop herself as her other hand moved on its own and began to stroke her clit once again. She yelled out Inuyasha's name as she came undone completely. Her walls clenching and unclenching around both cocks. Her orgasm wracking her so fully, so completely, she swore she could see the stars behind her closed eyelids.

Just as she was hitting her peak, Inuyasha groaned and growled and cursed before stilling deep inside of her, his seed streaming into her ass. Her hand that was thrusting the dildo couldn't keep up and let go of the toy before falling limp to the bed. Her left hand continued to lightly stroke her clit, feeling her orgasm begin to ebb, but needing to keep it going just a little while longer. 

She could feel his cock throbbing, pulsing, twitching inside of her, and it feels amazing, especially knowing he is emptying himself fully.

When Inuyasha pulled out, she pulled the dildo out as well and tossed it off of the bed for now. She turned over and collapsed onto her back. Inuyasha crawled up the bed to lay next to her, immediately placing a clawed hand on the swell of her stomach. Her eyes closed and she sighed as she willed her heart to slow down. 

"You okay? I didn't hurt you, right?"

Kagome smiled lazily as she turned her head to face him, the sincerity in his eyes, endearing. "You didn't hurt me."

His grin had her laughing and shaking her head in amusement. She rolled onto her side and cringed as pain throbbed in her back.

"What is it? I did hurt you!"

Kagome shook her head as she cupped his cheek. "You didn't do it, Inuyasha. My back is just starting to hurt a little. It's all normal." She sighed and reached up to rub his wilted ear, and then leaned forward and kissed him softly. "I promise, it isn't because of you."

He sighed, but nodded his head. "Turn around."

Kagome smiled as she did as he told her to, then moaned when his talented fingers began to rub her lower back.

She was nearly asleep when a sudden fluttering feeling in her stomach had her gasp and place her hands there for a moment. Inuyasha was quick to sit up and look down at her with a worried expression drawing his dark eyebrows together. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"K-Kagome? Is the pup okay?" He sniffed a few times and then tentatively reached forward. Kagome smiled as she sat up and faced him. She grabbed his hand and placed it on the swell of her stomach. He was confused at first, and just when he was about to ask what happened, his eyes widened in wonder.

Kagome laughed as a tear escaped and she felt the little flutter again. "Our baby. He moved."

Inuyasha nodded as he looked from her eyes to her stomach. "Our pup." 

Kagome giggled as Inuyasha kissed her, their hands intertwining while holding their pup together. They felt the fluttering again, and they smiled against each other's lips. Kagome felt so happy, so content. Her life hasn't gone the way she expected, but she would never wish for it to. Being here, in her mate's arms as their lips meet over and over in soft caresses, and their pup continues to flutter within her womb, she knows she is where she is meant to be.

°•°•°

Kagome yawned as she pulled on her robe and slippers, then walked out the front door to grab the mail. Inuyasha always tells her not to go outside without normal clothes on, but it's not like she's running around in her damn underwear. 

She rolled her eyes to herself. The robe covers more of her body than any of her summer clothes. She smiled as she felt her pup fluttering around in her stomach. She rested her right hand over the small bump with a smile on her face. It's only been a week since they had first felt the pup move, and every time is just as amazing as the last. She rubbed her belly lovingly as she opened the mail box with her other hand and pulled out the few envelopes there.

She walked back to the door flipping through the mail. In her distraction, she almost missed the manilla envelope that was taped to the front door of her house. When she saw it out of the corner of her eye, she reached up and pulled it off, a thoughtful frown merring her face.

She put the normal mail under her left arm so she could open the odd looking envelope. There was no return address. Not even her own address was on it. Just her name in red ink.

She pulled it open and her confusion soared. "What the...?" She pulled out the small squares and realized they were pictures. Tons of them.

When she saw the first picture, she gasped, nearly dropping the stack of photos as her free hand flew to her lips in her surprise. She didn't notice the other mail she had grabbed from the mail box fall into the door step at her feet. She slowly opened the door to the house and then closed is behind her as she flipped through picture after picture.

In her distraction, she didn't notice Inuyasha standing there with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. She didn't hear his voice as he said her name. She did, however, gasp and looked up, startled, when he reached out and lifted her chin by a finger.

"Kagome?"

Kagome shook her head and hesitantly handed over the 'gift' she had received at her door.

Inuyasha looked at her in confusion before looking down into his hands, his anger evident as he flipped through the photos.

Each photo was of them. One of them in Inuyasha's car, Kagome looking at him like he is her savior in life. Another is of them at a mates only restaurant out of town having a normal dinner date. There is one of them sneaking into the bathroom together at the school and then the next photo is of them leaving the bathroom, the time stamp is ten minutes later and their messy hair shows exactly what they were up to. There are a couple of photos of them at Kagome's doctor's appointments. Inuyasha, looking into Kagome's eyes as their hands hold onto the small swell of her stomach.

A menacing growl escaped him as he made it to the last photo. A picture of Kagome and Inuyasha almost completely naked with her riding him at his desk at the school. How someone managed to take a picture of that, he has no idea, but he does know that he will most definitely kill whoever the fuck saw his mate in such a way.

Kagome's hand shook as she reached over and grabbed his arm. "Inu?"

He shook his head and shoved the photos back into the envelope to prevent himself from ripping them apart. He may need them for something later on. Then he searched the manilla envelope for anything else. Any trace of scent, or any other notes. His growl escalated when he found the note he was looking for.

"Not a fucking trace of whoever did this," he growled out as he unfolded the note and read it out loud. "I know your dirty little secret, youkai whore."

Kagome gasped as she put her hands protectively over her stomach, her head moving side to side as if to pretend she didn't just hear that. She began to back away from the situation, but Inuyasha stopped her. He threw the stupid envelope aside and grabbed her by the shoulders. 

"Listen to me, Kagome. I promise, nothing will happen to you." He lowered his right hand to her belly and held it there. "I promise you, I will protect you with my life." He let out a long puff of air. "But you gotta stay calm. Stress ain't good for the pup, alright? Let me handle this."

Kagome nodded her head as she took a calming breath in and out. She wrapped her arms around his waist and cuddled her face into his chest. "Thank you."

He held her as tight as he dared and kissed the top of her head. "It'll be alright, I promise."

°•°•°

Kagome and Inuyasha are both smiling as they looked up at the ultrasound machine, watching their pup moon the screen. Kagome laughed with tears in her eyes as she saw the baby's little butt, its legs tucked upwards, a hand holding the side of its head and its other hand at its side.

She looked at her mate and her smile widened. "He's definitely yours."

"Keh. It ain't my fault she doesn't wanna prove to her mother that she's a girl."

Kagome laughed again as she looked back at the monitor.

Kagura chuckled as she spoke. "Sometimes this happens. The sneaky little pup is just a little shy. We can do another ultrasound in a couple of weeks if you would like to? Then we can find out which one of you is correct on its gender."

Kagome bit her lip as she looked at Inuyasha and then the screen and then back to her mate. She moved her right hand to swipe his silver bangs out of his face. "Actually... I kind of want to be surprised."

Inuyasha's eyebrows shot up and he looked back and forth between his pup and his mate and then finally with a sigh, he nodded his head. "Feh. I know it's a girl, so whatever."

Kagome grinned, kissed his cheek and then looked back at the monitor. Her little baby is growing so well. She can hardly believe she is already twenty weeks pregnant. Just four more months to go and she will get to hold her first child in her arms.

Her smile widened.

°•°•°

The following day, Kagome and Inuyasha had to drive separately to the school. He had made her promise not to do anything reckless and he will be there by the time the bell rings. He had ended up being called by Sesshomaru for something seemingly important and the 'bastard' as he so eloquently put it, wouldn't take no for an answer.

So now Kagome is walking towards her classroom alone, and sadly won't be able to kiss him until after school. She sighed and shook her head. Ever since they received those photos, they have been careful not to fool around in the school. They sneak a kiss here and there, and only after Inuyasha confirms there are no cameras or people around. But other than that, they have been extremely careful.

Since she is now visibly pregnant through her regular clothes, not by much, but enough, she has started wearing maternity clothes along with a baggy top. Luckily no one has seemed to notice or care about her change in attire.

She opened the door to her classroom and had to stifle the shriek of surprise that wanted to come out. Her heart thundered in her ears as she walked towards the white board behind her desk. She shook her head and closed her eyes, but the photos were still taped to the board, no matter how much she wishes them away.

She reached forward and pulled them down, three in total, all of them are from her most recent doctor's appointment. Her belly is exposed and obviously round with her pup, Inuyasha is by her side, holding her hand, and they are looking at the ultrasound monitor. In one of the pictures, Kagome is kissing Inuyasha's cheek. In another, he has turned her face to his by the chin and stolen a kiss on the lips.

She shook her head and turned when something caught her eye. Another piece of paper on her computer monitor with big red letters. She stuffed the photos in her purse and then sat at her desk and pulled the paper down and read it.

Don't tell your little boytoy and I won't let these photos leak. Wait for my instructions.

Her hands are shaking as she drops the note onto the desk and then she covers her mouth with her hands, trying not to cry, not to scream. Just what the hell is going on?

"Inuyasha..."

She heard the bell ring and her head snapped to the side when kids starting filing in her classroom. She mentally shook herself off, then quickly grabbed the note and put it into her purse also. She sighed and smiled at Inuyasha as he walked in, hoping it didn't look faked. She saw his look of concern, making her inwardly wince, but she just shook her head and looked back at her computer and started typing. 

She stifled her gasp when she felt a little more pressure in her abdomen than the usual fluttering. She put her left hand there and couldn't help but smile when her baby moved again. She glanced up at Inuyasha and he was staring back at her from his desk. He must have seen the look on her face and noticed her hand under the desk, because his ears perked up and he smiled back at her.

She took a deep breath in and out as she rubbed her baby bump, with a promise that his mommy and daddy will always keep him safe.

°•°•°

After school, Inuyasha and Kagome had to drive home separately since they arrived separately. As soon as they both parked the cars in the driveway, and made it inside, Kagome threw her arms around her mate and cuddled her face into his chest. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her as well, rubbing her back and purring at the closeness of them.

"What's wrong?"

Kagome winced and opened her mouth to tell him everything, but then the words she had read came back to her.

Don't tell your little boytoy and I won't let these photos leak. Wait for my instructions.

She shook her head and looked up into his eyes. She put her hands behind his neck and pulled him closer to her. "I'm fine. Just a little tired I guess." She brushed her lips against his, and moaned softly as he deepened the kiss.

When he pulled away, he took her hand and began to walk towards the bedroom. He looked at her as they walked in and shut the door, and he moved a stray hair from her face to behind her ear.

"Is the pup okay?"

Kagome nodded and smiled, hoping it reaches her eyes, and nearly cringing at the look of worry on his features. "H-he's fine, Inu. I told you, I'm just tired."

Inuyasha sighed and nodded his head. "Alright. Why don't you lay down for a little while?"

Kagome nodded as she got undressed, having been used to sleeping naked at this point. She then crawled into bed and watched as Inuyasha turned to leave. 

"Inu?"

He turned around, his bright golden gaze boring into her. "Yeah?"

"Stay?"

He nodded as he walked over to the bed and sat on the edge. He smoothed out her bangs and she smiled up at him. "You should get undressed too."

Inuyasha chuckled. "Trying to seduce me?"

Kagome shrugged her shoulders, but her smile became genuine as he began to pull his clothing off as well. When he climbed under the covers with her, she rolled onto her left side to face him and brushed his bangs out of his face with the tips of her fingers.

"I love you, you know that?"

Inuyasha rested his forehead against hers as he wrapped her up in his arms. "I love you too. So much, Kagome."

Kagome lifted his face by his chin and pressed her mouth to his. Their kiss started out soft, feather light, and unrushed. As the minutes passed by, it started to become more insistant, more needy and seductive. Kagome pushed on his left shoulder so he would be laying down on his back, and then she trailed his jaw with her finger tips as she straddled him, her lips never parting from his.

Inuyasha stroked up and down her back lovingly as she kissed him over and over again, lovingly, seductively. "K-Kagome," he murmured against her mouth.

Kagome moaned softly as she moved her hands to the nape of his neck and buried her fingers into his hair. "Make love to me."

He groaned as he began to harden beneath her, the wetness between her legs dripping onto him. "The pup..."

Kagome smiled as she pulled away from his lips and looked into his beautiful eyes. "The pup is fine." She sat up on top of him, grabbed his right hand and rested it on her stomach. They both smiled when they felt the little movement of their baby. "See?"

Inuyasha's smile widened and he nodded his head as he looked down at her descended belly. Five months along. She isn't huge, but she is clearly pregnant. He trailed his claws lightly around her belly button, making her giggle softly. He smirked and looked back into her brown eyes.

"You're so beautiful."

Kagome grabbed his hand and linked her fingers with his before she leaned back down to kiss him once more, his other arm going around her back and holding her to him as she captures his mouth with her own. The hand holding his right is holding his arm down on the mattress by his head. Inuyasha growled as the claws on the opposite hand trailed her back, causing Kagome to shiver in pleasure.

Kagome trailed her right hand down his body, noticing the twitching of his muscles as she did so, and she grabbed his mostly hardened dick. She stroked him a few times, getting him fully ready for her, and then she lifted her hips, lined him up, and slowly sunk down on top of him. They both moaned into the other's mouths as she took him fully in.

"Oh, Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha groaned as Kagome lifted her hips and sunk back down on top of him. "Kagome..."

Kagome snaked her tongue out and flicked it along his lips. Inuyasha let out a gasping moan at the action, and she quickly pushed her tongue inside to taste him more fully. Her body slowly rocking against his, her tongue methodically twirling around his and then swiping along his fangs, before she nibbled on his bottom lip, and then dove back in again.

Kagome let go of his hand to cup his cheek, her thumb stroking him as she kissed him more fully, their bodies moving together with practiced ease. Inuyasha wrapped his newly freed hand around her and held her to him, making sure not to hold her too tight so the pup inside doesn't get squished.

Kagome moaned as Inuyasha rolled them over and took control of the kiss. He dominated her mouth with his tongue as he began to thrust in and out of her. Kagome spread her legs further for him, and bent her knees for a better angle, but couldn't wrap them around his back like she could before. Not that he minded, as he moaned and continued to push himself in and out of her tight heat. Kagome dug her nails into the back of his neck as his fangs stroked her bottom lip, and then his tongue followed soon after.

Kagome let her head loll to the side as her breathing became more labored, then moaned out Inuyasha's name as he began to lick and nibble on her throat. Her hands held him harder, her body moving up against his. The way he pushes inside of her as his lips, tongue, and fangs strokes her throat as well. The way his claws rake up and down her sides, inducing goosebumps along in their wake. The way he moans along with her. It's all just so much. So good. So incredibly arousing. She loves him. She loves his fangs, his claws, his eyes, his ears, him. 

The life they have begun to create within her womb. She loves her pup with all of her heart already.

She smiled as she felt the familiar sting of tears in her eyes as she reached up and began to lightly stroke his ears. His soft growl of pleasure only working to get her closer and closer to her peak.

"Gods, Inu. I-I love you so god-damned much." She turned her head just as he turned his away from her neck and their lips brushed each other's.

"I love you so fucking much more."

Kagome's giggle ended on a moan as he thrust in a little deeper than before and his lips captured hers once again. She stroked his ears as he stroked her walls. They moaned together. Writhed together. Loved each other in body and soul. 

She can feel it. The way her body began to tingle. The way her stomach filled with butterflies. The way her walls began to clench and unclench around his shaft. His groan and the stutter in his thrusts was her tell that he was just as close to the cliff as she is.

She pulled back from his mouth, wanting to look into those sinfully sexy eyes. When they opened up to look onto hers, she immediately gasped, moaned, and keened, her orgasm rushing through her like a damn tidle wave. He sped up his hips as she began to cum, making her whine out at the intensity of this pleasure.

"I-I..."

Inuyasha growled as he forced his eyes to stay open. "Shh. J-just feel me, baby."

She nodded her head as another wave of rapture crashed over her, her fingers clawing at his back in response to this insane pleasure. She whimpered and moaned and stared at him with her mouth slightly agape. She felt him thrust in deep and then stop moving, making her whine out in protest. Her orgasm is still going, and in no way does she want it to stop.

She took it upon herself to thrust up against him, rocking her body from below, watching as his eyes shut tight and his pleasured moan escaped his lips. She continued to ride out her continuous orgasm as she felt his cock throb deep inside of her. She cried out, she said his name over and over, she babbled nonsense, and she whimpered as she scratched his back even harder than before.

Her breath caught as she couldn't move her body anymore and her orgasm began to ebb. She let out the breath she was holding and her body relaxed against the bed. Inuyasha groaned and rolled off of her so he didn't hurt her or the pup, and then put his right arm around her and pulled her close to his body.

Kagome sighed happily as she rolled onto her left side and cuddled into him. "Thank you."

He looked over at her and kissed the side of her head. "For what?"

She placed her hand on her stomach as she felt the pup move and her smile widened. "For being everything I could have ever hoped for."

°•°•°

"Damn."

Kagome turned towards Inuyasha from her spot on the other side of the couch and swallowed her mouthful of chips. "What?"

His ears lowered and then his eyes met hers. "I hate bein' human."

She gave him a sympathetic look as she felt the pulse go through him and then he transformed right before her eyes. She smiled as she put her bag of chips over on the table, and then stood up and held out her hand. "Well, let's take your mind off of it then. I'm sure I can find a way to distract you."

Inuyasha grinned as he grabbed her hand and stood up in front of her, her distended belly pressed lightly up against him. He jumped when he felt a distinct nudge against him, and then he looked down at her belly and then up into her eyes.

"Your daughter just kicked me."

Kagome laughed as she placed her hand against her stomach and felt the feisty pup kick again. "You mean, your son, kicked you."

Inuyasha shook his head, but smiled as he took her hand again and lead her towards the bedroom. He gave Isamu a pat on the head and a quick treat to keep him occupied before they went in. Kagome has learned what particular sounds he uses when he is hanyou when he doesn't want the dog to follow them in yet. So when he is human and can't properly communicate to the dog, he uses bribery instead. She shook her head in amusement as Inuyasha turned and then his lips were on hers.

They slowly undressed each other as they stumbled towards the bed. Once fully free of clothing, Inuyasha lightly laid Kagome down on the bed and kissed her softly. She moaned as she buried her hands in his midnight hair. 

Without warning, she winced and pulled back from his kiss.

"What's wrong?" She could see the worry in his eyes.

Kagome shook her head, but winced again. "My back."

Inuyasha sat up with his legs dangling off the bed and then carefully helped her sit up next to him. He reached behind her with his right hand to begin rubbing her lower back. Kagome sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder. After a few moments, the pain began to dissipate, and Kagome looked back into his dark gray eyes.

Without a word, she swung her right leg over his lap to straddle him as he was still sitting up in the bed. His legs are off the edge, his feet flat on the floor, as his arms wrapped around her back.

"Kagome?"

She leaned forward and brushed her lips against his. "I'm better now. That position was just a little uncomfortable." She must admit to herself that trying to lay on her back for sex at six months pregnant probably wasn't that great of an idea. But the new position she thought about seems to be working well so far.

Inuyasha moved his right hand to smooth the raven bangs out of Kagome's face. "You sure? We can just lay down together if you're hurting."

Kagome smiled as she leaned forward and kissed him once again. She began to grind herself against him slowly, getting him to harden back up beneath her, and making her wetter and wetter in the process. When she pulled back, she lowered her right hand down his chest, savoring in the ripples of his muscles, and then grabbed his now fully erect cock. She stroked him lightly a few times, loving the sound of his breath hitching. Then she lifted her hips and threw her head back with a moan as she sank down on top of him.

When he was fully sheathed inside of her, she looked back into his eyes and smiled. "More than sure," was her answer to his question that he had already forgotten he had asked.

Before he could even think of a response though, she captured his lips with her own. They moaned against each other's mouths as she lifted her hips back up and sank back down. They tightened their arms around each other's backs as Kagome began a comfortable rhythm. How they have never tried this position on the bed before, she doesnt know, but she definitely knows it's something she will love to try again, especially during the pregnancy.

She moaned as she felt his tongue nudge her lips apart, and she opened up for him willingly. She allowed him to explore her mouth fully before she took over to explore his as well. She buried her hands in his long black hair as she swirled her tongue around his. She felt as Inuyasha very lightly stroked her breasts and around her nipples with both hands. She smiled into the kiss, loving how gentle and careful he is, how he knows that he needs to be less rough with certain parts of her right now. Even in his human form, he always seems to know how to take care of her.

She moved her mouth to kiss his cheek, then his chin, under his jaw, and then his throat. He easily surrendered to her, baring his throat for her as she dominated their love making. She rode him slowly and assuredly as she left hickeys upon his flesh. She smiled and moaned as she took him how she wanted him. She heard the human version of his growl as his hands lowered to her backside and began to help her move up and down on his dick just a little bit faster.

"Gods, Inu." She sucked hard on the pulse point of his neck before nibbling it, and then licking the sting away. She moved her lips to his shoulder and then lower and lower until she could capture his nipple in her mouth. 

Inuyasha's hands squeezed her ass in reaction to her onslaught, and she couldn't help the moan as she rolled her hips on top of him, making him nearly fall apart on the spot. She gasped and then did it again and again... and again. 

Her head fell back as she continued to ride him, getting faster and faster as her fervor increases drastically. "Inu-ya-shaaa..."

Inuyasha moved his hands to the small of her back and his blunt human finger nails scratched her as he grunted and groaned in response to the new movements. "K-Kagome."

Kagome looked back into his eyes and she could see how he is trying to hold himself back. He doesn't want to cum yet because she hasn't cum yet. But she is so fucking close and she knows the second he begins to fill her with his seed, she will fall over the cliff of ecstasy along with him.

She held onto the back of his neck as she leaned in closer to his lips. Staring into Inuyasha's dark gray eyes, she smiled and mumured against his lips, "come on baby, be a good boy and cum inside of me."

Kagome wanted to laugh at how instantaneous he began to groan and grunt out his release, but the feel of him letting go and the way he cursed and moaned out her name, had her falling over into euphoria along with him. Her eyes rolled back as she closed the distance between their mouths once more, and began to ride him harder and faster. She is clawing at his back as her orgasm crashes over her in waves upon waves of pure rapture. She can feel him pulsate inside of her. The way he moans as he cums, the way he lets his guard down and submits to her, is making her orgasm so much more powerful in this moment.

As they began to come down from their simultaneous orgasms, their bodies and mouths began to slow to more languid movements. Kagome moaned and sighed against his mouth as she kissed him softly. When she pulled away to look into his eyes, she smiled.

"I love you."

Inuyasha's half lidded eyes bore into her own. "I love you, too."

She kissed him once more before getting off of him and standing up in front of him. She nearly lost her balance as she felt a sharp pain in her back, but Inuyasha's hands were there to catch her in an instant. He stood up in front of her and looked down at her in concern.

"You gotta learn to be less clumsy, you know."

Kagome rolled her eyes, but smiled up at him anyway. "I know you'll always catch me."

He nodded his head as his smile returned. "Always."

He then grabbed her hand and led her to the ensuite bathroom. They took a calming shower together, Inuyasha rubbing her back and feet to help her relax and feel better. When they were finished, they dried off, threw on some underwear and then laid in bed together. Kagome yelled for Isamu and the puppy that isn't really a puppy anymore came running in. He jumped up on the bed and laid down at Kagome's back. Kagome smiled, gave Isamu a scratch behind the ear and then turned back to cuddle into Inuyasha's chest.

Kagome was surprised to see that her mate was already asleep. She smiled as she pushed his black bangs out of his face. She must have worn him out, she mused with a satisfied grin.

She didn't know how long she spent just staring at him while he slept, but the sound of the home phone ringing out in the kitchen took her out of her thoughts. She was confused, since she rarely gets calls on that phone, plus it's already pretty late, nearing on eleven pm. 

She slowly sat up, nudged Isamu out of the way and got out of bed. She looked back just to be sure she didn't wake her mate, and then left the bedroom and walked down the hall towards the kitchen, Isamu following close behind. She quickly pulled the phone off the wall before she missed the call.

"Hello?"

"This is Higurashi Kagome, correct?" a woman's voice responded.

For some odd reason, a sense of foreboding washed over Kagome. Something in the unknown woman's voice startled her. She wanted to hang up and forget about it, but she feared that may be the opposite of what she should do.

She was silent for a moment, then finally responded, "uh, yes. Who is this?"

The woman chuckled. A dark, malevolent sound. "That matters not. Meet me by your favorite coffee shop in fifteen minutes, without your guard dog."

Kagome's hand around the phone began to shake. It didn't even really occur to her that the woman knows where her favorite shop is or about Inuyasha. She was more afraid of the evil sound of the woman's voice. "A-and if I don't?"

She could practically hear the sinister smile on the woman's face. "Well, then you won't live to see the birth of your youkai spawn... and... isn't is a little early for it to come out?"

Kagome gasped as her free hand dropped to her stomach. She understood what the woman didn't say. She plans to kill her unborn child if she doesn't do as she says. A fear like no other ran up her spine as the instinct to protect her pup warred within her. She knows she should tell Inuyasha, but for some reason, she chose not to as she said, "I'll be there."

The woman chuckled and hung up the phone.

Kagome's mind was fuzzy, unable to think straight as she dropped the phone, not noticing as it hung by its cord on the wall. She walked back to the bedroom like a zombie, a tear escaping her eye as she saw how serene her mate looks, and watched as her dog jumped up onto the bed and cuddled into his side with a soft whine. She let out a shaky breath as she pulled out some clothes and got dressed.

She walked to the side of the bed and angrily wiped at her still falling tears. Had whoever threatened her and her pup known Inuyasha's human night? How else would they have been confident she could leave without him knowing? 

'Inuyasha...'

She reached forward and swiped his bangs out of his face. He mumbled her name sleepily, which only made more tears fall.

"I'm sorry," she whispered before she turned and walked out of the bedroom. She grabbed her keys and cellphone, then put on her shoes by the door, and left without looking back. She missed the fact that Isamu had paid close attention to her movements.

°•°•°

Kagome pulled up to the empty parking lot of her favorite café. She took a deep breath in and let it out slowly as she pulled the keys out of the ignition. She placed her hands on her distended stomach and smiled wanly.

"It'll be alright, Mama's not gonna let anything happen to you."

She blinked back her tears as she got out of the car and searched for anyone else who may be there. At the sound of a woman saying her name, she spun around and protectively held her stomach.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

The woman smiled, but it was anything but comforting. Kagome backed up a step as she felt the reiki begin to sizzle around the unknown woman.

"Y-you're a Miko..." 

The woman nodded and stepped just a bit closer to her. Kagome gulped and took another step back as one thing became abundantly clear. This woman's aura was dark, tainted. Sinister. 

"J-just please, tell me what it is you want. I don't understand. I don't even know you."

The woman laughed. "What I want? I want people to stop procreating with tainted beasts."

Kagome's confusion turned to anger. "What the fu—mmfh!" Suddenly someone from behind wrapped their hands around her and placed a moist hand towel over her nose and mouth. She tried to push the person away, tried to hold her breath, knowing that whatever it is they have against her will surely make her pass out, but she couldn't hold on much longer.

Within a few seconds, she blacked out. The last thing she saw, the woman's face as she walked up to her and reached a hand towards her.

°•°•°

Inuyasha woke up with a start as his powers returned. His senses came to him, and his first thought was, 'where the hell is Kagome?' He sniffed around and his eyes snapped open when his nose told him she had been gone for at least seven hours.

His ears twitched when he heard Isamu whining out by the front door. He immediately got up and pulled on a pair of sweat pants before rushing out of the bedroom.

He saw Isamu and growled. ::'Where is she?':: he barked out in Inu.

Isamu turned around, his ears flat against his head and tail between his legs. ::'Alpha bitch gone.'::

::'Gone? What do you mean, gone?':: Inuyasha growled out, his eyes flashing red. He had a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach. It isn't like Kagome to just leave, especially in the middle of the night. And definitely not when she is six months pregnant with their first pup. 

He shook his head as he watched Isamu lead him to the kitchen. Inuyasha's worry grew when he saw the home phone hanging by its cord. He saw Isamu sniffing at the phone, growl, and then whimper as he looked back at Inuyasha.

::'Alpha bitch scared. Alpha bitch gone.'::

"Damn it!" He picked up the phone and redialed the last incoming call, only to be brought to a pay phone. He slammed the phone back onto the wall and cursed about a million different expletives before he stomped into the bedroom and grabbed his cellphone. He hit call and in three rings, it was picked up.

"This better be important, baka."

"Shut up, bastard! Kagome is missing."

There was a pause and then a sigh. "Are you sure she didn't just get tired of you?"

Inuyasha growled and cursed the Gods for giving him a bastard for a brother. "Shut up and listen! She wouldn't just leave. She is six months fucking pregnant and her scent has been gone for eight fucking hours!"

"How did you not sense this before now? Surely your mate bond is strong enough, if not your half-breed senses."

"Fuck! I was a human, that's why!"

Another pause. "Human."

"Damn it. It doesn't fucking matter. Just get over here and help me, damn it!" Inuyasha didn't wait for an answer as he hung up the phone and threw it onto the bed. He began to pace back and forth, his mind a jumbled up mess. He is growling and snarling, his inner youkai sizzling at the surface at the thought of his mate and pup in danger.

He must have been pacing and growling for quite a while, because the next thing he knew, there was a knock at the door. He snarled as he picked up the closest shirt to him and threw it over his head and then rushed out to the front of the house and answered the door.

Rin barreled inside and wrapped her arms around the ferel hanyou, Inuyasha's snarling only grew louder. He looked up at his half brother and narrowed his eyes. Sesshomaru stepped inside and closed the door before pulling his mate off of Inuyasha and tucking her under his arm.

"You need to calm down, baka. If your youkai decides it wants freedom, then we won't get anywhere in helping your mate," Sesshomaru intelligently spoke.

That seemed to have done a little in helping Inuyasha focus. He took a deep breath in and out and then looked back at his brother and sister-in-law. He nodded his head once as his ears lowered slightly.

"Inuyasha, what happened?" Rin asked with a small waver in her voice.

Inuyasha growled as he looked behind him at Isamu and then back at his brother and sister-in-law. "I don't fucking know. She was with me last night and when I woke up this morning she was gone. Isamu said she was scared when she was on the phone, and then she left. The last call came in from a payphone."

They walked into the kitchen and Inuyasha leaned up against the counter, tapping his claws anxiously on his forearms while they are crossed against his chest. Rin sat down at the kitchen island and Sesshomaru stood behind her with one of his clawed hands on her shoulder.

"Has anyone made any sort of threat to your mate before?" Sesshomaru asked.

Inuyasha's eyes widened with realization as he cursed under his breath. "Damn it. She's gotten a few random notes with pictures of us together. The notes basically just said they know her secret, but nothing to say they were gonna do anything about it."

"Let me see the notes and the pictures."

Inuyasha paled. "Uh. Not the pictures."

Sesshomaru cocked a brow and sighed. "Whatever baka. Show me the notes."

Inuyasha growled as he went to the bedroom and pulled the manilla envelope out of the drawer in the bedside table. He had put the first note in with the second note in case he ever needed to use this as evidence against whatever creep was after his mate.

He walked back to the kitchen and pulled the two notes out of the envelope, but kept the pictures inside. He handed the notes over and watched as Sesshomaru read them, a slight growl escaping his throat.

Sesshomaru threw the small papers onto the counter and narrowed his eyes at Inuyasha. Rin gasped when she read the second note which called Kagome a 'youkai whore'. 

"Were there any other notes?"

"I already said. This was all there was. What the hell am I gonna do to find her? Why would she have just left? Isamu said she was scared, so she had to have known she shouldn't have left alone!"

"Calm down, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru spoke when he saw the hanyou's eyes flash red in his anger, "are you certain there haven't been any threats that you were not aware of?"

Inuyasha snarled and was about to give his bastard of a brother a piece of his mind when Rin spoke up quietly. "Yash, just listen to your brother. Maybe there was something that Kagome was afraid to tell you about?"

Inuyasha glowered at the woman before stomping away and going down the hall. "Fucking fine! I'll just prove it so we can get the fuck outta here and find her already!" he yelled as he stomped into the bedroom and looked around for a few moments. He growled under his breath when he noticed she had left her purse on the dresser. From the moment he saw her at his first day of school this year, she always had her purse with her.

He picked it up and his ears lowered when he thought about going through it. It felt wrong and an invasion of privacy. They are mates, they are supposed to trust each other fully. He sighed as he walked out of the bedroom and went back into the kitchen.

He set the bag down on the counter and spoke, "I can't go through it. It ain't right."

Sesshomaru sighed and looked at his mate. Rin nodded as she reached forward and grabbed the purse. She looked at Inuyasha who still had his ears lowered and his eyes averted, and she opened up her friend's purse and reached inside. After a moment of rummaging, she found a crinkled up piece of paper and three photos. Shet set the photos down on the table and noticed Inuyasha's look of surprise, obviously he didn't know about these ones that were taken.

She uncrinkled the note and read it out loud. "Don't tell your little boytoy and I won't let these photos leak. Wait for my instructions."

All that could be heard was Inuyasha's growling and whispered curses as he began to pace back and forth. Isamu is whining in the corner of the room, as Sesshomaru and Rin glanced to each other.

"Calm, little brother," when he had Inuyasha's attention, he continued, "why is your mate concerned with who knows about your pup? Is she ashamed?"

"What!? No! You bastard. You should know she's my god-damned teacher until I graduate in a little over a month. She's only worried about losing her fucking job!"

Sesshomaru sighed and shook his head before narrowing his eyes at his brother. "The school has demons in their administration. Has it ever occured to you just why no one has said anything, you baka?" When Inuyasha's ears lowered further and his gaze averted, Sesshomaru continued. "Soulmates are protected under the law. As long as the student is of consent age, which is sixteen, than there is nothing they can do about your relationship. Neither of you knew this?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he shook his head. "N-no. We were trying to keep it a secret at school."

"Hn. Not a very good job, I presume." He ignored Inuyasha's growl as he lifted the note and the pictures and sniffed them. "Hm. I assume there was no scent on the others as well?" Inuyasha nodded. "Come, Inuyasha. We shall track your mate's car."

Inuyasha growled as he began to follow his older brother. "What the fuck was the point in standing around here then for, bastard!? We coulda went and done this twenty fucking minutes ago!"

Rin put her hand on Inuyasha's arm, earning a glower from the hanyou in retaliation. "He just wanted to get all the facts first. Now we know the motives of whoever did this. We just don't know what their actual plan is or where Kagome had to go. It'll be alright, Yash."

Inuyasha growled as he barked back at Isamu that hell be back with Kagome, and then the three of them closed the door and the Inus began to sniff the air. Inuyasha growled when he smelled the scent of Kagome and her car heading right out of the driveway. The scent is fading, but it would still take a couple of days to fully disappear unless it were to rain. Without a warning to the others, he bolted down the street, ignoring the fact that youkai aren't supposed to use their powers publicly like this. At the moment, he didn't give a crap. 

Inuyasha scoffed as his ears twitched and Sesshomaru was already running next to him with Rin in his arms. "Really baka. You could have waited."

"Feh. I don't care. I'm gonna find Kagome and then she ain't allowed to leave my sight for the rest of her damn life."

Rin grinned knowingly as Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and they sped up even faster, following the scent trail of Kagome's vehicle.

°•°•°

Kagome woke up groggily with a headache and a bit of nausea. She winced as she rolled her head to the side, realizing that she is sitting up in a chair, her hands tied behind her back and her feet tied by the ankles. She shook her head and blinked away her blurry vision as she tried to remember what the hell had happened. 

It was hard to concentrate, however, with the pain in her back, stomach, and bladder warring with the pounding in her skull. She surmised she must have been passed out for quite a while, since it feels like a god-damned freight train punched her in the bladder. 

She winced as she felt a literal punch in that particular area. 'Not a train. Just my pup.' Her heart skipped before closing her eyes back up to concentrate her reiki inward. She could tell the pup was healthy and unharmed, allowing her to breathe easy.

She reopened her eyes and gained the energy to look around the empty room, noticing nothing of significance. She seems to be in some sort of abandoned building, and alone at that. She struggled in her bindings, her pains growing more and more insistant. She needs to stretch her burning muscles, and relieve her damn bladder. And that isn't even including how damn hungry and thirsty she is.

"Fuck...," she murmured to herself as she remembered the events that lead her to this exact predicament. "I'm such a fucking idiot." She gasped and turned her head to the left when she heard a door creak open and then her eyes widened at who was approaching her.

"Now, that isn't very appropriate language. I thought you were better than that, Higurashi."

She shook her head, hoping to wake up from this nightmare. When she could see that he was still there, she spoke. "Hojo-kun? What the hell is going on!? Who was that woman and what do you want with me?"

Said woman walked in after Hojo and closed the door behind her. Kagome's hackles raised at the look in the woman's eyes. She looked utterly insane. As if Kagome stole something precious from her. She shook her head at the idiotic thought and looked back at her ex-boyfriend.

"Hojo-kun?"

Hojo ignored Kagome as he turned to his right and held his hand out, the woman grabbing it with hers easily. Kagome watched confusedly as they looked back at her.

"Okay. Just tell me what the fuck is going on! Were you the one taking pictures of me and Inuyasha!?" Kagome gasped and stifled a whimper as her face stung from the force that the unknown woman had slapped her. She glared up at the woman, "who the fuck are you!?"

"Does it matter who I am? You and your youkai spawn won't live past sunset."

Kagome's eyes widened, the instinct to protect her child making the reiki within her sizzle at the surface. "You won't touch my pup, you bitch!" Kagome cried out when she was hit once more, causing blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Hojo, who was just standing there with a blank look on his face. "Hojo? I thought you cared about me," her voice sounded small, even to her own ears.

"I did. Then I saw you with that-that thing. Tell me Kagome, how long have you been sleeping with your student? Since we were in highschool and he was just a little boy? How sick are you?"

Kagome felt like she was struck again, even though no physical hit had actually come. "What?" she nearly whispered. "You're fucking delusional! How could you think I was..." She shook her head as bile began to rise up her throat. She closed her eyes and averted her head from them. "That's disgusting. He was a child!"

Hojo chuckled as the woman rolled her eyes.

"He is child. How old is he? Sixteen? How old was he when you first fucked him?" This time it was the woman who spoke. Her voice was cold and calculated. Everything about her screamed evil. Her aura was dark and defiled. She was way past the point of no return.

Kagome's eyes opened back up as she glared at the woman. "He's eighteen. Not that it's any of your business, but we didn't do anything until after he turned eighteen."

The woman smiled, but it was anything but genuine. "Really? So, you waited patiently, and then the second the kid turned eighteen, you jumped him." It wasn't a question.

"No!" Kagome shook her head as angry tears began to form. "What the fuck is this even about!? Why the fuck do you even care? I love him! He's my fucking soulmate!"

Both of them scoffed at her declaration and then Hojo spoke once more. "Yes. Unfortunately we know. I tried to call that damn school to tell them you were sleeping with a student. You know, it should be completely frowned upon for a teacher, especially nearly thirty years old, to bang one of her teenage students. But no. Sick people like you are protected by the law because of some stupid soulmate rule."

Kagome's mind slowed to a crawl. That's why they weren't caught? That's why none of the other youkai said or did anything? She didn't break any rules? Well, maybe fucking in the school itself is against the rules, but their relationship in general was okay? She shook her head and looked back into the duel brown eyes looking down at her.

"So, what is your plan? Kill me, and then what? Inuyasha will still come. He won't hesitate to avenge his mate and pup."

"Will you quit using those disgusting words!?" the woman yelled furiously.

Kagome glared defiantly at her. "No. I won't. He is my mate. He is an Inu hanyou, so our child is our pup."

She should have expected to be hit again. But it didn't stop the wave of dizziness that hit her. She could feel her pup becoming restless from her stress, so she took a few deep breaths in and let them out slowly. When she looked back up, the woman was gone and she was left with Hojo. She figured this is as great a time as any to try and get through to him.

"Hojo-kun... you don't really want to hurt me, do you? Or an innocent baby?"

Hojo's hands balled into fists at his sides as he began to pace back and forth, glaring down at her every so often. "How could you."

Kagome shook her head, "what?"

He stopped pacing and stared down at her. "How could you decline my marriage proposal all those years ago, then call me up and go out with me, then leave me for some half-breed thing. Tell me the truth, were you sleeping with him when we were going out?"

Kagome shook her head. "No."

He didn't look like he believed her. "You defended him on our last date. You acted like you knew him more than just one of your everyday students. Tell me the truth!"

Kagome flinched as Hojo seemed to spiral further and further out of control. She gulped. "I-I didn't sleep with him until after I wasn't seeing you anymore."

He glared down at her. "Why him?"

Kagome shook her head as a wan smile tugged at her lips. "I love him," she said simply.

She flinched when Hojo raised his hand as if he was going to strike her, but then he dropped it to his side with a shake of his head. "How can you love a teenager? How can you love a-a youkai? How?"

A lone tear escaped Kagome's eye. "H-he's my soulmate. We were destined to be together." She shook her head as more tears fell. "I think... even if our souls weren't intertwined, I still would have fallen in love with him at some point in my life. He's everything to me. And our baby is everything to the both of us." She took a calming breath in and looked into Hojo's light brown eyes. "Please Hojo. I know you don't want to hurt me."

Hojo looked pained and as he took a step closer and opened his mouth to say something, the other woman came rushing in once again. Kagome turned and saw the woman had a medical kit in her hand. That made her heart plummet and her stomach do flip flops. There can't be a single good reason as to why she would have medical supplies for her in this instance.

The woman stopped right in front of Kagome and handed the kit to Hojo, practically shoving it into his arms. She opened it up while he held it for her, his eyes haunted at what she was doing. Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat when she saw her pull a needle filled with some sort of liquid out. She shook her head as she began to feel more afraid than she ever has in her life.

"Wh-what is that?"

The woman turned to her with the needle in her hand and smiled. "Oxytocin."

Kagome shook her head. "Wh-what does it do?" She fears she knows the answer.

"It'll make you give birth to that disgrace so I can purify it."

Kagome's eyes widened in panic. Her reiki began to swirl around her as her breathing became labored. She watched as the woman got closer and closer with the needle as tears began to freely flow down her face. She looked back at Hojo with a pleading look.

"Hojo, please." She struggled in her bonds, the pains in her back and stomach growing to unbearable levels as she begins to hyperventilate. She looked back at the woman and shook her head. "No. Please stop!" 

Suddenly a large burst of pink light surrounded Kagome and pushed both the woman and Hojo to the ground. Kagome's eyes closed tight as her reiki protected her and her unborn child. Tears streaming down her face, she tried to call to her mate through the bond.

'Inuyasha! I need you! We need you!'

°•°•°

Once Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Rin had found where Kagome's car was left, Inuyasha was able to discern the two other human scents that still lingered. Hojo was definitely there, along with a woman with spiritual powers. For some reason the woman's scent seemed familiar, but he couldn't dicifer quite why. Sesshomaru pointed out that the scent of chloroform hung in the air, and that is how they managed to take Kagome away.

Sesshomaru told Rin to take Kagome's car back to where it belongs and wait for them there. Inuyasha had found Kagome's keys on the ground just outside of her driver's side door and handed them to Rin.

After Rin had left, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sniffed for the trail. They ended up finding it leading to a parking spot about twenty feet away and then the car that Kagome's scent had disappeared into had left and took a hard right out of the parking lot. It was a little harder to follow the scent of the unknown vehicle since so many other vehicles have been in the streets this morning, but with both Inus' working together, they managed to make good work of it.

As they were rushing down the streets of downtown Tokyo, Inuyasha stumbled and nearly fell flat on his face. He held his head as a throbbing pain shot through him. It felt like he was being burned from the inside out. He then felt so many emotions, but they weren't his own. Anger, sadness, fear, worry, hope, fear. 

His eyes snapped open and he gasped when he heard her voice. 'Inuyasha! I need you! We need you!'

"K-Kagome..."

Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he understood what had happened. "You heard her." It wasn't a question.

Inuyasha nodded and swallowed the lump that formed in his throat. "She needs me." He shook his head from his surprise stupor and a determined look came to his sharp features. "There's no time. We gotta go, now!" 

As soon as he finished speaking, he was gone faster than he has ever run before, Sesshomaru at his side, the both of them continuing to follow the trail of the vehicle that had escaped with Inuyasha's mate and unborn pup.

°•°•°

She could hear the woman screaming through the protective barrier around her. She can feel the dark reiki trying to damage her pure reiki. She can hear Hojo seemingly trying to calm down the crazy woman. She can feel her heart pounding within her chest, and she can sense the child within her growing restless as he punches and kicks her over and over again. 

Kagome has tears flowing down her face as she struggles in her bonds. She is trying to burn through the ropes, but growing up untrained is making it hard for her to concentrate. She pretty much only knows how to shoot an arrow, having learned archery at a young age, and how to put up a protective barrier. She silently curses herself for not taking Miroku up on his offer to train her on her powers.

She continued to ignore the woman's screams and flashes of reiki as her eyes tighten and her breathing began to even out. She forced herself to calm down, one word making itself clear within her mind; Inuyasha.

Suddenly, her concentration was broken at the crash of a door and the call of her name, "Kagome!"

Her eyes snapped open and she stared in relief as her mate and his brother made it in time. "Inuyasha!" she yelled in elation. She didn't realize her mistake, until the woman was instantly next to her, the needle held in front of her distended stomach. Kagome whimpered as she locked eyes with her mate, her eyes conveying her love for him. How sorry she is for getting herself into this mess.

Inuyasha stopped about ten feet in front of the humans, his brother directly behind him, a snarl lifting his lips, his fangs shining dangerously. "You. I knew your scent was familiar. Kikyo."

Kagome didn't know what the hell was going on, but at the moment, she didn't give a shit. "I-Inu..." She winced when she felt the needle barely push into her abdomen. "Sh-she wants to abort the baby!"

Inuyasha's eyes flashed red as an enraged growl reverberated from his chest. "I'll fucking kill you, if you harm my mate and pup. Put the fucking needle down, now."

Laughter. Cold. Evil. Melicious laughter. Kagome shivered at the sound directly by her ear. "Now, why would I do that, Inu?"

Kagome felt a pang of jealousy at the nickname the other woman, now known as Kikyo, called Inuyasha. Although, Inuyasha's reaction did make her feel a bit better.

"Don't fucking call me that, bitch. Why the fuck are you doing this?"

"Why indeed," she pondered slowly. "Don't you remember? I tried to be nice to you. I tried to be your friend. But for some reason, I was never good enough. It was always, 'Kagome this' and 'Kagome that'. Well, I was tired of it! Then I run into a man who got dumped by the same Kagome. The whore who gave herself to a little boy in her fucking classroom! He helped me so we could get rid of the disgusting evidence within her womb. What human would dirty themselves with a youkai, let alone a hanyou? She can't be allowed to have that spawn. I will kill it. Then I will kill you, too."

Inuyasha's eyes tinged red as his hands flexed, his claws growing in size. "If you hate youkai so fucking much, then why the fuck did you care that I didn't like you? What the fuck did you want from me anyway? I was a little kid! You were just a replacement babysitter until I didn't need anyone anymore. I wanted nothing to do with you. My soul reached for Kagome's for the next ten years until we found each other again." 

Kagome noticed he was speaking oddly calm for how he began to look. His eyes were tinged pink. His demon markings were fading into his cheeks. His claws and fangs were growing, but he was still in full control of his mind.

Kikyo laughed. "You think I wanted to have some sort of sick relationship with you? That's utterly ridiculous. I wanted to help you. You were half human, after all. But your youkai side was hellbent on finding your so called mate. I couldn't get through to you. You never believed that changing to a human for good would better suit you."

Kagome gasped as her eyes widened in shock. "Y-you wanted him to become human? Why!?" She looked up and behind her to the woman with cold, emotionless, eyes. "What could you have gained from that? You think I'm sick for being with him at eighteen years old. What does that make you? How old are you anyway? You sure as hell look older than me!"

That earned another slap from Kikyo. Kagome whimpered as she averted her gaze from the woman, accidentally locking eyes with Hojo who seemed utterly confused by this whole thing.

"Shut the hell up, bitch! I'm nothing like you! I would never dirty myself with a hanyou! I would never stoop so low as to sleep with a child, like some people."

Kagome turned her attention back to Inuyasha as she felt the tip of the needle barely pierce her skin. His ears were flat against his head as he bared his fangs at the perceived threat. Inuyasha's eyes locked with hers as he took a step forward, ignoring his brother's low growl in Inu to not move any further.

Then Kikyo spoke in a deadly cold tone. "If you dare come any closer, I will push the drug into her. Her youkai spawn will be born. I will purify it, so it becomes human. And then I will kill it and the whore."

"What!?" this was the first time Hojo has spoken since the Inu had shown up.

Kagome and Kikyo both turned to look at the human man. His eyes were wide and unfocused as he looked at the two in confusion. 

"Do you have an issue, Hojo? I thought you wanted this just as much as I?" Kikyo taunted.

He looked into Kagome's eyes and then back at Kikyo. "I said the kid had to die. Not Kagome!"

Kagome's small gasp filled the otherwise quiet room. She looked at Hojo with such horror that he backed up a single step. "Why? Why would you want to kill an innocent baby? Why?" Tears flowing down her face as she winced from the needle pushing further into her abdomen. A broken sob tore free from he throat.

"Why?" Hojo repeated incredulously. "Because you are human! You aren't meant to give birth to something so impure! You were meant to be with me!"

"Enough!" Kikyo yelled. 

Kagome cried out when Kikyo grabbed the back of her hair and made her look at Inuyasha. "Watch your whore and your spawn die, Inuyasha. Watch as they suffer." Kikyo was so enraged that she didn't even realize the other Inu had moved from his spot behind Inuyasha.

Kagome whimpered at the needle fully plunged into her flesh. She tried to tap into her powers, but she over did it with her last barrier. That, tied with the pregnancy, and being overly exhausted already, is making it increasingly difficult to do anything but allow a small hum of reiki against her skin.

Kagome locked eyes with Inuyasha who seemed to be trapped to the spot. His transformation taking full control of him as he senses his mate and pup in distress. "I'm sorry, Inu. I-I love you." She pinched her eyes shut and took a deep breath in.

"No! Kagome!"

It all happened so fast. She heard him scream her name. She felt a small amount of cool liquid be pushed into her, and then the evil woman was gone from her post behind her, the needle sliding out of her stomach and onto the floor. Kagome sobbed as she felt Inuyasha's arms around her. She felt her bindings at her back and then the ones at her ankles go slack, allowing her to immediately wrap her arms around him. She winced as the pain from the needle throbbed and then she looked around and saw Sesshomaru had Kikyo pinned to the wall using a green energy whip. He has Hojo in his other hand by the throat. Kagome's sobs grew more frantic as she looked at the needle on the ground. She had seen it before; it was completely filled. Now it is just over halfway filled.

She shook her head in denial. She doesn't feel any different. Maybe it didn't work? Or maybe it just takes a while. Either way, she feels as if her life and the life of her pup hangs in the balance. She was about to speak, but Sesshomaru beat her to it.

"Take her to the hospital, Inuyasha. I will handle these imbeciles."

Inuyasha nodded once before he lifted Kagome up into his arms, Kagome's hands tightening around his neck as she buries her face into his neck allowing more tears to fall.

"Wait!" Kagome yelled out as she locked eyes with the Inu youkai. "Y-you're not gonna kill them, right?"

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome incredulously. "No. They will go to prison."

Kagome nodded her head in relief, ignoring her mate's muttering about how she is too nice for her own good. She allowed her body to relax as Inuyasha began to run in the direction of the hospital. As she felt his calming purr against her, she began to drift off to sleep.

°•°•°

Kagome woke up about an hour later to an intense pain in her stomach. "Ah!" Her hands went to her middle as she squeezed her eyes shut, a tear escaping from the pain. 

"Kagome?"

She shook her head and then breathed in relief when the pain subsided. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she is in a hospital bed, in a gown, an IV in her right arm, Inuyasha sitting to her left. "What's going on?"

Inuyasha's ears lowered as he looked at the IV on her arm and then back to her face. "They're giving you something to stop the contractions."

Kagome's eyes widened as she began to hyperventilate. "What!? I can't have the baby now! It's not time!"

Inuyasha grabbed her hand and rubbed it in small circles, his calming rumbling coming out to soothe her. "You need to try and calm down, 'Gome. The medicine should work soon, they said. And as long as your stress level is down, then you can make it to full term."

Kagome closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths in, but the thought of what had happened, what had almost happened, and what could happen, had her mind reeling. She let out a broken sob as her breathing came in short gasps. She could barely understand what her mate was saying as she held her free hand to her stomach, the pain returning full force.

Inuyasha wasted no time in clicking the red button on the remote next to the bed and when no one came rushing in right away, he jumped up to the door to the hospital room, and called out for help. Two nurses ran in and asked what was wrong.

"She's freaking out and I can't get her to calm down. I think she's having another contraction. Help her!"

Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome as the nurses bustled around the room, grabbing god knows what. He focused on his mate as he grabbed her hand and leaned forward to nuzzle under her chin, a soft whine escaping his lips.

"Come on, baby. You need to breathe. The pup needs you to calm down. Please."

Inuyasha looked up when a nurse came over and put something into Kagome's IV. Within a few seconds, Kagome's body relaxed and her breathing evened out. He could tell she wasn't asleep, but she was fully calmed down now.

"What did you do?"

The nurse smiled softly. "I just administered something for anxiety. Don't worry, it's perfectly safe for the baby. Hopefully her contractions will ease up now that she will be less stressed. The doctor will be in shortly to talk about what will be safe going forward so that she can safely have the baby in three months."

Inuyasha nodded as he watched the nurses walk out, and then he turned to Kagome. Her bright brown eyes were locked on his golden ones and he smiled. He reached forward and brushed a stray year from her face with the pad of his thumb before leaning forward and kissing her softly. When he pulled away, he rested his forehead against hers.

"Feeling better?"

Kagome nodded slowly as she blinked a few times. Her body feels relaxed, and her mind feels kind of fuzzy. She smiled as she stared into Inuyasha's bright golden gaze. "Inu?"

"Hmm?"

"You're pretty."

Inuyasha reared back as if he was struck. "Oi! I ain't pretty," he finished his sentence with a growl.

Kagome giggled as she stared lovingly at him. His heart swelled and his anger at being called something girly vanished at the look in her eyes. Kagome slowly raised her right arm to begin petting his left ear, making him purr softly. She giggled again.

"Pretty and cute."

Inuyasha sighed and shook his head. "Go to sleep 'Gome. You'll feel better when you wake up from a nap."

Kagome shook her head as her arm fell carelessly to the bed. "Uh-uh. I'm not tired." Her eyes lit up as she stared into those golden eyes once again. "You know what will make me feel better, Inu?" she spoke in a sultry tone.

Inuyasha's eyes widened as he gulped. "Uhh..."

Kagome used the hand that was closes to him to pull his lips to hers by the front of his shirt. She moaned into his mouth as she slipped her tongue inside. Inuyasha growled before he reluctantly pulled away from her delicious flavor. Her small whine of protest didn't help in the least.

"Damn it, Kagome. Not here, and definitely not right now."

Kagome's head lolled to the side as her eyes unfocused and refocused on his. "Why not?" she whined.

"You're in the hospital, Kagome."

Kagome mumbled something unintelligible before her eyes closed and her breathing evened out. Her grip on his shirt slackened and then Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief before he kissed her forehead lightly and leaned back in his chair to watch her sleep.

°•°•°

A little while later, Inuyasha looked at the door as Sesshomaru and Rin came in. "They arrested?"

Sesshomaru gave him a curt nod before he spoke. "I gave them the evidence to show that this was premeditated."

Inuyasha shook his head as he clenched his fists. "Y-you gave them the pictures?"

Rin walked up to him and put a hand on his arm. "We had to, Inuyasha. You want to keep your family safe, don't you?"

The hanyou growled as he glowered at the woman. "Damn it." He shook his head and then his shoulders slumped in defeat, his ears lowering slightly. He looked at his sleeping mate and a small smile graced his features. 'As long as they are safe.'

°•°•°

Kagome has been stuck in the hospital for almost a week and she feels like she is about to go completely insane. Luckily, the medicine they gave her that first day worked to stop her contractions, so she never went into premature labor. They checked on the pup with the ultrasound machine and everything seemed to be fine with that also. Kagome still insisted on having the gender be a surprise, so they didn't learn of that during the ultrasound, but they did get a picture of their little pup.

All physical evidence of her ordeal is now non-existent. The marks that were around her wrists from the bindings are gone and the few bruises on her cheeks are all healed up also. 

Kagome has been extremely frustrated, just wanting to go home and be with her mate. He has stayed by her side just about every second of every day, only going home to take a shower, have something to eat and say hi to Isamu. A substitute teacher had filled in for Kagome at school, and Inuyasha's grades are not going to take a hit from missing one week, especially since he graduates in about a month anyway. Rin had volunteered to take care of Isamu while they were gone, which Kagome appreciates, but she just wants to get out of here and go take care of him herself. Not to mention, this has been the longest she has been without having more than a kiss from her hanyou since they became mates.

Every time she initiated something, he says it isn't safe for her in her condition. All she wants to do is bring him pleasure, even if she can't receive any, she wants to touch him. She is about to go completely insane of she can't have him in the next few hours.

She was brought out of her internal struggle by the doctor coming in. She looked up and smiled at Kagura who handed her the discharge papers.

"You seem ready to get out of here," Kagura said sympathetically.

Kagome nodded her head as she glanced over at Inuyasha who is sitting right next to her. "Definitely." She took the papers and started to sign them, when Kagura spoke.

"Do you have any questions for me? I know we spoke about keeping your stress levels down and maybe taking time off of work early, but is there anything else you needed before you get out of here?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and then back at Kagura. "Actually... sex is fine, right?" She ignored Inuyasha's growl and inwardly prayed for the answer she needed to hear. Of course, if it was actually a danger to her child, she wouldn't risk it.

Kagura chuckled as she looked at the blushing hanyou and determined human. "Yes, any form of sex is okay, as long as you are careful and mindful of what may be uncomfortable. I'm sure you're aware that some positions, such as laying flat on your back may not be great. Just make sure you pay attention to your body and switch it up if you need to." She paused for a moment before continuing. "Oh, and it may be better to resist deep penetration until after you heal from giving birth. Any other questions?"

Kagome smiled and shook her head. "Nope. Thanks, Kagura-san."

Kagura nodded her head and headed out of the room before Kagome turned her attention to her stubborn mate. "I told you."

Inuyasha huffed and rolled his eyes. "Didja haveta ask like that?"

Kagome leaned over to brush her lips against his and had to squeeze her thighs together at just the thought of being with him. "I can't help it, Inu. I miss you."

He growled lightly as he lifted his left hand to cup her cheek and pressed his lips more firmly against hers. "I miss you too."

She smiled against his mouth, "mmm, take me home, mate."

Inuyasha smirked as he stood up and then helped her to her feet also.

°•°•°

When they finally made it home from the hospital, Kagome thanked Rin for all of her help and told her they will have to have a girl's day sometime soon. Rin readily agreed and said she will be texting her about that in the near future.

After Rin had left, Kagome took a much needed shower before just throwing on one of Inuyasha's night shirts and nothing else underneath. Inuyasha took a separate shower and then threw on a pair of sweatpants over top of his boxer briefs. After they were feeling rejuvenated from their showers, they let Isamu out and then fed and watered him after giving him the much needed love that he deserves. As their almost fully grown pup was busy eating, Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand and began to lead him to the bedroom.

Without a word, Kagome closed the bedroom door and backed Inuyasha up until the back of his legs touched the bed. 

"Kagome. Are you sure you're feeling alright?"

Kagome couldn't prevent the small growl as she pulled him down to her mouth and kissed him with as much lust she has built up within her this past week. Her nails dug into the back of his neck as she pressed her body up against his. She moaned into his mouth when their tongues collided, nearly making her fall to her knees.

That thought gave her a spectacular idea.

She moved her mouth to his chin, jaw, and then throat; licking, sucking, and biting, leaving many marks in her fervorous desire. Inuyasha grabbed her waist as she began to run her hands up and down his back, her mouth moving lower and lower down his chest. She licked around one of his nipples before nibbling on it and then moving to the next.

As she moved lower and lower, it became a bit harder for her to get onto her knees like she would have easily done before, so she grabbed his hands in hers and held them tightly to help herself get into the position she really wanted at the moment. She cut off another one of his statements about her not feeling well enough, by nipping just above his waistband, making him let out a very dog-like yelp. His growl only made her smirk up at him as she grabbed the waistband of his sweatpants and boxer briefs, and then she pulled them both down to his ankles in one yank. 

She couldn't stifle the moan as his fully erect cock sprung free from its confines, a small drop of precum glistening at the tip. She ran her hands up his legs and then behind to his ass before bringing them back to his front and grasping his cock with her right hand and his balls with her left.

She maintained eye contact with the swirling pools of honey as she began to lick around just the head of him, swallowing his precum as it began to dribble out. She moaned and squeezed her thighs together from finally having a taste of him. It feels like it's been forever since she was able to touch him like this, and she can't help her moans and mewls as she continues to lick and suck him in, swallowing everything he has to offer. His own groans and mumbles of her name is making her already drip with her desire for him.

She sucked in the tip, licking just underneath of it, and then pulled all the way out to lick up and down his full length. She whimpered as she felt the warmth pool at the pit of her stomach, wanting him to fill her with his essence. But she wants this first. She wants to kiss him, and lick him, and suck him down. She wants to turn him into a sweating and moaning mess of a hanyou as she takes what she wants from him. She moaned and whimpered just thinking about it as she took him back into her mouth.

"Fuck, 'Gome..."

She hummed around his cock as she began to bob her head back and forth, her tongue stroking him as she sucks him in faster and faster. She moved her hands back around him to grab his ass with both hands, savoring the feel of his body, the sounds of his animalistic growls and grunts of pleasure. She forced her eyes back open to look into his as her right hand moves closer and closer to another part of him that she hasn't yet explored. She saw the look of complete realization and surprise when he understood what she was doing, but he didn't stop her. He had a slight pink hue to his cheeks and the tips of his furry ears, but he continued to stand still, mesmerized by the determined look in her brown eyes.

Kagome lightly stroked between his cheeks as she bobbed her head back and forth, allowing all of her lewd sounds free. She slurped him up as if she would surely die without being able to taste him. She found the spot she was looking for with her middle finger and lightly stroked the puckered opening, moaning when he let out a gasp of surprise pleasure.

She rubbed the outside of that spot for a moment before pulling her hand away along with her mouth. She continued to look him in the eyes as she used her saliva to moisten her finger, watching as his Adam's apple bobbed from his gulp. She put her right hand back around him and probed the small opening once again. She moved her left hand back to the front of him and grasped his shaft, she opened her mouth and took his cock in once more as just the tip of her moist finger slipped inside of him. His gasping moan had her eyes rolling back as she began to devour his cock and precum hard and fast as she stroked him with her hand.

She pushed her finger just a little bit deeper inside of him as her mouth and tongue worked him over, turning him into a growling and groaning mess. He began to pump his cock in and out of her mouth, the movements of his hips causing her finger to move in and out of him even more than before, which had him let out a canine-like whimper.

Kagome moaned as his movements sped up, making her finger him harder and faster as she sucked and licked him with much more fervor than before. She pumped her finger as deep as it could go, and felt as she hit something that made him moan and throb in her mouth. She wiggled her finger against what she figured is his prostate, and was pleasantly surprised when he grabbed the back of her head with both of his clawed hands and shoved his cock deep into her throat as he came - hard.

She felt his asshole clamp around her finger as stream after stream of his warm seed entered her mouth. She moaned around his cock as she swallowed everything he had to offer. When he began to come down, she slowly pulled her finger out of him and licked his cock clean before releasing him from her mouth. By now, she is so soaked, she feels she may die if she doesn't orgasm soon.

She looked up into his wide eyes and smirked at him. His cheeks are tinted pink, and it was so adorable, she wanted to laugh, but held it back, lest he thinks she is laughing at him. She held her hands up to silently ask for his assistance, since it's much harder to get up and down now that she is twenty-five weeks pregnant. 

Once she was on her feet in front of him, she leaned up and brushed her lips against his. "Sit on the edge of the bed for me."

Inuyasha seemed to still be in a trance from what just happened, his golden eyes wide and his breathing labored. This time she did chuckle when his response after a few seconds was a, "huh?"

She smiled as she pushed him back a little and murmured, "be a good boy and sit."

She gave him another encouraging push and this time he seemed to understand, sitting down on the edge of the bed and licking his lips as she pulled his shirt off of her body, throwing it carelessly aside. She looked him up and down with a fire in her eyes that had his cock hardening in seconds, making her want to swallow him down again. But, instead, she climbed onto his lap and began to rub her soaked core along his rejuvenated shaft. 

Inuyasha's hands wound themselves around her body, resting on the small of her back as she began to rub herself along his cock. She leaned forward to brush her lips against his once more, loving how she can turn him into this submissive hanyou. "Gods, Inu. Just tasting you made me so fucking wet for you."

He couldn't prevent the slight whimper as Kagome continued to rock her body against his. She smiled and bit her bottom lip as she raised both of her hands to his ears and began to lightly stroke the insides of them. He immediately moaned and growled as his cock twitched from beneath her.

Kagome teased his lips with her tongue, moaning when his own tongue came out to play. They tasted each other sensually as Kagome lifted her hips and slowly sank down on top of him. She moaned out and shoved her tongue into his mouth, her eyes shutting tight as she felt him fill her for the first time in about a week. 

She stayed seated on top of him for a moment, just enjoying the feel of his cock inside of her as she tasted his mouth and stroked his fangs with her tongue. She buried her right hand in his hair and held it tight in a fist as her left hand continued to stroke his downy soft ear.

She pulled her mouth away to kiss his jaw and then suck and nibble on his throat, leaving pretty heavy marks as she did so. She whimpered when she felt him throb inside of her, making her body rock against him without her permission. "Inu-Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha's claws scraped her back lightly as she moaned out his name. "Are you okay? Not hurting, right?"

Kagome nodded her head as she kissed back to his lips and rocked her body once again. "Oh, Inu... I-I missed you so much," she murmured against his parted lips, as she started to lift herself up and sink back down on top of him.

Inuyasha raised his hands to stroke her naked body as she began her slow movements. He raked his claws towards her chest, making her moan and throw her head back as he barely touched her breasts and nipples. 

"I-Inu..."

Inuyasha growled as he leaned forward and kissed her neck softly. "Sensitive?"

She nodded her head with a gasping moan as he lightly tweaked her nipples between his fingers. "Y-yeah."

"Hurt?"

She shook her head as her left hand joined her right and held onto the back of his head, pulling his lips closer to her breasts. "M-more." She gasped and moaned when his lips surrounded one of her nipples, lightly teasing it with his tongue and fangs, her other breast continuing to be teased by his clawed hand. She went from lifting and lowering her hips to rocking back and forth instead as she leaned her face forward and took one of his adorable ears into her mouth.

Inuyasha bucked his hips the second her wet mouth surrounded the furry appendage, making her moan out a broken version of his name, her hot breath tickling his ear. She whimpered and mewled as they sped up their movements just a little more, the feel of his fat cock inside of her making her go crazy with her lust for him. She held his face to her engorged breasts; his tongue, mouth, and fangs increasing her pleasure tenfold as she licks and sucks on each of his ears just the way he likes.

Her head lolled backwards, her fingers taking her mouths place on his ears as she moaned out his name. She felt the familiar tingle within her as her orgasm began to approach. She forced herself to look at him as he switched from one breast to the other, her hips rocking back and forth against him, his cock throbbing and leaking precum inside of her as they both release broken moans and groans from the pleasure.

"Ohh Gods, Inu... I-I'm so fucking close."

He growled against her breast, sending shocks of pleasure straight to her clit, making her gasp and speed up her movements. She couldn't help it, she pushed him away, hard enough to where his back hit the mattress, and then she placed her hands on his chest to show him she wants him to stay just where he is as she rides him harder and faster.

"Yes!" Her eyes rolled back as her lips parted. His hands grabbed her hips for some stability and she whimpered as she felt her orgasm get closer and closer. "I'm gonna cum, baby!"

"Fuck!"

The sound of his declaration along with his grunts of pleasure as he thrust up into her made her fall over the edge of ecstacy. She screamed his name as her body tingled all over from her full body orgasm. He throbbed and twitched inside of her as he released his seed just as she was coming down from her own release.

She opened her eyes to look into his, and the intensity in his golden gaze made her arousal spark back to life once more. She rocked her hips unconsciously a few more times before pulling off of him. She could feel his cum dripping down her inner thighs and she watched as his eyes lowered down her body to see what she was feeling.

Her stomach did flip flops as she saw the heat in his gaze and it made her move before she could even think. She crawled up his body until her pussy was just above his face, a knee on each side of his head. She grabbed the top of his head with her right hand to keep him where he is as her left hand lightly stroked his ear.

"Clean me," she whispered before lowering herself down, immediately moaning out as his mouth and tongue began to drink in the mixture of her arousal and his seed. "Oh yes, baby, yes! Aah!" She looked into his eyes the best she could over her distended stomach and gave him a sultry smile. "Good boy." His immediate growl and increase of fervor with his tongue had her smile widening and her moans increasing. Her head lolled backwards as she began to rock her body against him, his tongue grazing her clit with each rock of her hips. "Such a good bo—ah!"

Her hand tightened on his hair as his hands grabbed her ass and squeezed as he drank in everything, his tongue going from deep inside of her to her clit and back again. She rubbed his right ear between her thumb and forefinger, making him growl against her once again. She moaned out and rocked her hips even faster, nearly cumming on the spot, but holding it back for just a little while longer.

"Fuck, baby. Ooh, it's s-so fucking good!" she yelled out, and then his left hand moved from behind her to her entrance and slipped two fingers inside of her as he began to suck on her clit. "I-Inuyasha!" she screamed as her body rocked harder and her orgasm crashed over her in waves upon waves of indescribable pleasure. "Ohh, Gods yes!"

As she came down from her high, she struggled to get off of him, so he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her off before laying her comfortably in her side next to him. He scooted up on the bed so his legs were no longer dangling off the side, and he turned to wrap his arms around her. Kagome whimpered when she felt his erection against her stomach. She lowered her right hand down his body until she made it to her destination and wrapped her nimble fingers around his shaft.

Inuyasha growled and nuzzled under her chin. "Ya don't gotta, Kagome. I know you're exhausted."

She shook her head and pulled her face back to look into his blazing golden eyes. "I want to." She leaned forward and captured his lips with hers as she began to jerk him off.

He groaned into her mouth as she slipped her tongue inside, tasting both herself and his cum on his tongue and lips. She moaned as her hand sped up its movements, her tongue swirling around his, their kiss turning sloppy and hurried, but no less amazing and arousing.

His growling and groaning had her arousal spiking once more, but she ignored it as she focused on getting him off. That is, until she felt his hand between her legs. She gasped and unconsciously spread her thighs to allow him better access, immediately moaning into his mouth and jerking him harder as two of his fingers slid inside of her. She began to gyrate her hips into his hand as she used his precum as lube along his shaft. Inuyasha growled and nipped her bottom lip before licking the sting away and diving in for more of her delicious flavor.

Kagome whimpered when she felt his thumb begin to rub the small bundle of nerves as his fingers wiggled inside of her. She could feel how close she already was and she knew he was too. The way he is pumping his cock into her hand, the fact that precum is constantly dribbling from the tip, and his growling increasing in volume. 

Kagome's head fell back as she moaned out, then she gasped when she felt his fangs on her mark, just barely grazing her flesh. Her hand sped up its movements as he did the same inside of her.

"I-Inu, I-I'm gonna—aah!"

Inuyasha growled and nipped her mark, sending shocks of pleasure down her spine and straight to her clit. "Cum for me, mate," he growled against her throat.

She whimpered and whined as they continued to pleasure each other, the both of them getting closer and closer to their end. "Y-you first—ah! P-please Inu. I-I love it when you c-cum..." Her face fell forward to rest on his shoulder as tears stung her eyes from trying to hold back her own orgasm.

He growled menacingly, making her whine and hump against his hand even harder. "Cum. For. Me. Now." He ended his sentence by sinking his fangs into her mating mark, making her gasp, moan, and then scream out her rapture as she came.

She could feel his hot seed all over her; her engorged breasts, her distended stomach, and along her pussy. As they both calmed down, her hand fell away from him and his fingers slipped out of her. Kagome rolled onto her back to catch her breath, just for a moment, knowing this position will hurt before too long. She moaned softly as she felt Inuyasha lick the blood from her mark where his fangs had sunk into her. Her eyes fluttered open when he stopped and she looked into his concerned golden hues.

She raised her hand to cup his cheek and smiled up at him. "What's wrong?"

He shook his head and nuzzled his face into her palm. "Just making sure you're alright. You're not hurt, are you?"

Kagome smiled and shook her head in response. "Just tired." Her face tinged pink as she spoke her next sentence. "Sorry, I was a little out of control. I just really missed you."

Inuyasha chuckled and gave her a chaste kiss before sitting up in bed, grabbing her hand and helping her to sit up next to him. "Don't be sorry. I love everything we do together."

Kagome smirked as she looked into his eyes. "Everything?"

His own cheeks turned a slight pink, but he nodded his confirmation. "E-everything." He shook his head and smiled at her as he stood up off of the bed and held his hands out. "Come on. You'll feel better after a shower with me."

Kagome giggled as she grabbed his hands and with a small grunt made it to her feet. "You did get me a bit messy," she teased as she looked down at her cum covered body.

Inuyasha's proud smirk had her heart fluttering. "Keh. Come on." After opening the bedroom door for Isamu, he helped her to the bathroom to take their much needed shower.

°•°•°

Throughout the next week, Kagome has missed her mate more than ever. Because of what had happened with her ex and that crazy woman, she had to take her leave from work earlier than initially expected. She also outright refused to allow Inuyasha to stay home from school. He graduates in just a couple of weeks, and she won't allow him to stop attending. She ended up promising that Rin would stay with her while he was in school so she would never be alone, and that finally was enough to get him to continue attending. 

She does like the girl time though. And sometimes Rin brings her twins over, which Kagome absolutely adores. They ask so many questions about the pup and she is always happy to answer them. She found out that Inuyasha really wasn't joking when he said youkai blooded kids know just about everything about sex.

Just the other morning before Inuyasha left for school, Kagome had seduced him right before he was heading out the door. He was fully dressed in his school uniform, and as he was walking out, she pulled him back in, pushed him against the door and pulled his pants down just enough to expose him. She had sucked him off and then after he finished in her mouth, he switched their positions so she was facing the door, and he fucked her from behind.

Later in the day, the twins had come over and being toddlers with absolutely no filters, Towa had wrinkled her nose and mentioned that, "Aunt 'Gome smells like she was rolling around with Uncle Doggie again." Setsuna had easily responded with, "yeah, they exchange scents a lot."

That had her sputtering and not knowing quite what to say, but Rin only laughed and said that all youkai blooded creatures understand at such a young age. Kagome had put a hand to her stomach and groaned, not looking forward to her own child making such comments.

"Think about it this way," Rin had piped up with when Kagome was obviously thinking about her own child in the future, "your kids won't ever accidentally walk in on you. They know when and when not to go into the bedroom."

Kagome had looked at her with wide eyes and shook her head in astonishment. That was definitely a positive thought.

Now that it's Friday, Kagome is in her living room with Rin and the twins once again, and waiting for Inuyasha to get home from school. She is now twenty-six weeks pregnant and feeling it in every one of her muscles. Although, the pain seems to vanish whenever she and her mate get overly attentive with each other's bodies. He's like her own personal aphrodisiac and a pain reliever. She smiles to herself at the thought.

She was taken out of her musings when Rin spoke. "When are you getting the nursery done?"

Kagome looked over at her with wide eyes and groaned. "We were gonna do that two weeks ago and then the craziness happened." She shook her head as she looked at the sleeping child resting her head on her lap. She looked back into Rin's kind brown eyes and shrugged. "We should probably do that soon though. I feel like if we wait any longer, Inuyasha will have start rolling me everywhere!"

Rin chuckled and shook her head in amusement. "Oh, you're not that big Kagome. Try carrying twins! I was as big as a house!"

Kagome giggled and looked back at the sleeping children. "But it was well worth it, huh?"

"Oh, definitely."

°•°•°

When Inuyasha got home, he was tackled by his nieces. He chuckled as he gave the pups some attention before their mother shooed them out of the house to give 'Auntie Kagome and Uncle Yash some privacy'. 

As soon as they were alone, Kagome pulled Inuyasha's mouth down to hers, her body buzzing with excitement at just looking at him walk through the front door to their home. As she backed him up against the door, she deepened the kiss and began to unbutton the front of his highschool uniform top. She moaned as his tongue tangled around hers, her fingers feeling along his chistled abs after she managed to undo his shirts. 

Just as she lowered her right hand to the button on his pants, she winced and gasped at the sharp pain in her stomach. She pulled from his mouth and rested her face against his chest as her other hand held her stomach.

Inuyasha pushed her back a few inches and furiously began to sniff her for any injuries and to check the health of the baby. "What's wrong? You okay? Is the pup okay?"

Kagome nodded her head, but winced again. "Your son is kicking my bladder!"

Inuyasha made the smart choice in not arguing about the gender right in this moment. "What do you need?"

She shook her head and pouted. "I need your cock inside of me," she whined, but then winced as another hard kick had her holding in her pee. "Damn it."

Inuyasha chuckled before kissing her on the forehead. "Go to the bathroom. I'll make it up to you later."

"Promise?" she asked with a sultry smile.

His breath fanned against her lips as he leaned in, "promise." 

Kagome kissed him softly, almost forgetting her predicament, until another punch had her whimpering. She pulled back with an apologetic smile before rushing herself to the bathroom.

When she got out of the bathroom, Inuyasha had already changed from his school uniform to more comfortable clothes. She pouted at him as she sat on the couch next to him.

He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

She looked him up and down and crossed her arms just below her breasts. "I wanted to undress you."

Inuyasha laughed before he leaned in and kissed her softly. "You can undress me anytime you want."

As Kagome was about to kiss him again, a thought occured to her. "Oh!" His ears flattened and a growl erupted from his chest as he backed away from the loud woman next to him with a glower. She ignored his ire to continue her thought. "I forgot. We gotta start on the nursery."

He looked at her incredulously. "Can't that wait?"

"Uh-uh. We have tons to get. I wanna do the wallpaper, and get the crib and he will need—," she was interrupted by his lips on hers.

When he pulled away, her eyes were half-lidded and she had forgotten what they were talking about about. He grinned. "We can get whatever you want." At her smile, he chuckled and moved a strand of raven hair to behind her ear. "Tomorrow." He leaned in closer, his breath fanning against her parted lips. "Tonight, I'm making my mate feel good."

Kagome's hands moved up his chest to behind his neck. "Mmm, what do you have in mind?"

He smirked. The same smirk that makes her knees weak, makes her breath catch, makes her heart skip a beat. He licked his lips before kissing her softly and then getting onto his knees in front of the couch, parting her legs and getting between them. 

"Is it uncomfortable for you to be on your back?" he asked seriously as he lightly stroked the inside of her thighs with the tips of his claws.

She nodded slowly and bit her bottom lip at the heated look in his golden gaze. "F-for too long, yes."

"Are you comfortable sitting on the couch like this?" He leaned forward and lightly kissed the swell of her stomach, making her breath catch in her throat. His ability to be loving while also arousing her at the same time is unbelievable.

"Y-yes."

"Good." That damned smirk appeared again. She could feel the wetness soaking her panties as the warmth pools in her lower belly.

Inuyasha raised his hands to the waistband of her pants and undies and pulled them down her butt, hips, and legs, until they pooled at her ankles. His eyes never wavered from hers, the molten amber boring into her own chocolate orbs. She felt her heart stutter within her chest as his claws stroked her inner thighs, getting higher and higher and higher...

"Oh!" Kagome's head fell to the back of the couch as his fingers began to stroke her, probe her, claim her. 

Her eyes were shut tight, and then she moaned out as she felt the wetness of his tongue along her clit. Her hands grabbed the couch and squeezed as she tried her hardest to stay still. He was teasing her. Stroking her softly, so softly. Slowly, making her wetter and wetter with the way he is building her up. His middle finger sliding inside of her, her legs unconsciously spreading even further for him as she gasped. His tongue barely grazing her clit, just enough to get her begging for more. Enough to get her going, but not enough to allow her to fall off that edge.

A second finger slid inside.

"Oh, Gods!" She opened her eyes and moved her head to look down at him, but all she could see past her protruding stomach are his doggie ears peaking out. She whimpered, but figured it wasn't all bad as her hands moved on their own accord, grabbing onto his  adorable ears and rubbing them.

His immediate growl against her clit had her gasping for more. "I-Inu, please!"

His chuckle was both arousing and infuriating, making her growl out a few choice words herself.

But then he sucked her clit, a fang lightly scraping against it, and she completely shattered. His fingers curled inside of her as she tightened around them, her fluids soaking his hand and mouth as she yelled out his name. She moved her hands from his ears at the last second so she didn't hurt them, and instead grabbed the back of his head and held him just where he was.

When she came down and her grip on his hair loosened, he pulled away and out of her and backed up, looking into her eyes with the most egotistical grin she has ever seen. She wanted to roll her eyes at his arrogance, but she didn't have the energy.

'Plus,' she conceded, 'he has a right to be erogent.'

She smiled as she sat up straighter and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled his mouth to hers. She moaned as she tasted herself on his lips and tongue before pulling away and pushing him back enough so she could kick off her pants and undies, and then turn around on the couch. She put her hands on the back of the couch and put her knees apart on the cushion, then turned to look at his blazing golden eyes. 

"Well? Take your bitch like the dog I know you are."

Inuyasha growled as he stood up and practically ripped his sweatpants and boxer briefs off. She stifled a moan when she saw his leaking cock spring free from their confines. He grabbed her hips and raised them just enough to rub the head of his cock along her soaked entrance.

"I-Inu, please take me."

He snarled, but didn't do as she was clearly begging him to. She looked back at him and she could tell he was holding back.

"I-Inu... you won't hurt me."

His eyes flashed red as his gaze met hers. "Th-the pup," he nearly growled out. 

She could see the indecisiveness in his gaze, making her heart swell with more admiration for her mate. "The pup is fine and will be fine. Just don't go as rough as usual. Please, Inu?"

He let out a very canine-like whimper as his mate asked him to take her. "Fuck," he hissed as he pushed just the tip of his cock inside of her. Kagome moaned and faced back around to rest her forehead on the back cushion. "T-tell me if I hurt you."

"Mm-hmm," she hummed distractedly as she felt him slide just that small part of him in and out of her over and over and over again. She felt his claws graze her hips and then both hands grabbed her ass and squeezed. She moaned. 

"Do you like taking just the tip, baby?" he asked as he allowed just another inch inside, making her whimper.

"Y-yes."

"Do you want more?"

She nodded as her hands clenched on the fabric of the couch. She keened as he pushed in another inch and then pulled back out nearly all the way. She didn't know whether or not she wanted more, or wanted him to keep teasing her, because it feels so fucking good either way. 

"Oh Gods...," she whined as he continued to stroke her walls softly and slowly. 

His hands moved under her shirt and up her back, stroking her, teasing her with his claws, making her body shutter in delight. He reached above her where her left hand is gripping the couch, and he grabbed her wrist. She didn't fight him as he pulled that arm behind her back, holding her wrist against her back as her arm is bent at the elbow. He held her steady so there was no way for her to fall and then he pushed his cock further inside of her.

He grunted and she moaned before he growled out his command, "touch yourself."

She hesitated for only a moment. If she were to lower her right hand, she would be relying on just him to hold her steady. But she trusted him with her life, so she did as she was told. She moved her right hand from the back of the couch and lowered it down her body. She felt him slide in and out of her slowly, so slowly, as she softly tweaked her nipples. She moaned out a broken version of his name and then lowered her hand further. She felt her baby bump, stroking that spot for a moment, then made her way to her clit.

She started slowly, teasing herself with the tips of her fingers just as he teased her walls with the tip of his cock. She moved her hand further back and grasped his shaft, making him groan, as she stroked him, pushing his precum out of him and into her. They moaned together as she continued to go from stroking his cock, to pulling on his balls, then back to rubbing her clit. She can feel her body heating up more and more, pleasurable tingles rushing down her spine and to her sex. The feel of him going in and out of her so slowly and shallow as she strokes him and herself, is making her whimper.

She rubbed her clit until she almost fell over the edge, and then she forced herself to move her hand back to his cock to allow herself to last even longer. His continued growling and grunting, making it harder and harder for her to hold back her orgasm. 

"Touch yourself," he commanded again when her hand was on him a little longer than expected.

She whimpered as she moved her hand back to her clit and began to stroke herself just enough to keep her on the edge without falling off.

He rested his hard body against her back, his hand holding her wrist tighter to keep her from falling forward. She could feel his breath against the shell of her ear and then the next words to come out of his mouth had her immediately coming undone.

"Good girl," he growled against her ear.

Her fingers faltered on her clit with a gasp, but then he began to fuck her faster and faster, not going too deep so he doesn't hurt her. She screamed as she felt her orgasm rush through her in waves upon waves of pure rapture. She stroked her swollen clit with wild abandon, feeling her walls contract and flutter around his shaft as he grunts out his own pleasure.

"I-Inuyashaaa!" Her back arched as he straightened himself up so he is no longer laying across her back. His hand still holding her wrist tight against her as he grunts out his own release inside of her clenching pussy.

"fuck! K-Kagome... Unghh!"

When she finally came down, her right hand fell from between her legs and she moaned as he slowly pulled himself out of her. He very carefully helped her to stand up straight and then she turned around on wobbly legs to face him. She smiled up at him tiredly before her eyes closed and his lips found hers.

"Tired?" he murmured against her mouth.

"Mm," was all she could reply with as she wrapped her arms around him.

He chuckled before kicking off his pants and then he lifted her up bridal style and took her to the bedroom. He laid her down next to the sleeping Isamu and then laid down next to her, spooning her from behind as she wrapped her arms around their big pup.

"Love you Inu," she mumbled just before sleep overcame her.

"I love you, my beautiful mate," he responded as he nuzzled the back of her neck.

°•°•°

"No."

"Inuyasha."

"I said no, bitch!"

Kagome growled and crossed her arms over her chest. "What's wrong with my choice?"

He glared at her incredulously. "You want my pup to have puppies on her wallpaper!"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Our pup, is a puppy! He wants puppies."

Inuyasha sighed. "She would rather have something pink. Girls like pink."

Kagome raised a single eyebrow. "My favorite color is green. Even if he is a she, it doesn't automatically mean they would want pink!" She sighed and looked back at the different wallpapers. "And anyway, the background is baby blue," she looked back at her mate, "that could be either male or female, and I think the little white Akitas are adorable." She smiled up at his perpetual scowl and put her arms around his neck, looking up at him through her lashes. "Please?"

Inuyasha growled and glowered at Sango and Rin who happen to be snickering a few feet away. The women just had to come, because one of them have had children and the other will give another woman's perspective. Inuyasha says it's a bunch of bullshit and they just like to torture him. 

He sighed. "Whatever." At Kagome's bright smile, he felt less like he got tricked and more like the luckiest bastard alive. "But I am putting the god-damned wall paper up. No need to hire some human to do it."

Kagome rolled her eyes but her smile brightened. "Whatever you say, dogboy," she said before giving him a smacking kiss and then turning back to the wall paper with a smile.

"Have you two decided on any names yet?" Sango asked from her place next to Rin.

Inuyasha smirked as Kagome glared at him. "The baka doesn't like any of my choices because they're for boys." She looked back at the other two women. "So we decided that if it's a girl, he is naming her, and if it's a boy, I'm naming him."

Inuyasha scoffed at his mates confident look. He leaned over her shoulder from behind and kissed her cheek, making her face flame. "So in other words, I will be naming her, and I ain't tellin' what the name is yet."

Kagome glared over her shoulder at him. "You can't just not tell me, baka! What's your plan? Sign the birth certificate some stupid name while I'm too tired from giving birth to say anything?"

Inuyasha chuckled, his breath fanning across her ear, making her blush darken as she pushed him away from her, lest she be responsible for what happens next while in a very public space. His chuckle increased as he looked at her flush getting darker.

"You won't be disappointed, Kagome. But I will at least tell you after she is born and before we make it official, alright?"

She crossed her arms but nodded and smiled. "Fine. And I'll do the same when he is born."

Their friends giggled at the argument that the couple has been having for the last six and a half months.

The next few hours they had gone through and picked out a ton of things for the nursery. Crib, changing table, toys, rocking chair, pacifiers, bibs, gender neutral clothes, and so on. They had the more expensive and larger items shipped and brought the smaller items home in regular bags.

By the time they got home and said goodbye to both Rin and Sango, Kagome was exhausted. Her back and stomach hurt, her feet were swollen, and she just wanted to lay down for the rest of the pregnancy. She went into the bedroom, got undressed and laid on her side, wishing not for the first time, that she could lay on her back for at least a few minutes. She sighed and smiled tiredly when Inuyasha and Isamu came in from outside and then her big dog jumped into the bed and laid next to her while her mate got undressed and sat behind her, beginning to rub the knots out of her back.

She sighed happily and soon fell asleep.

°•°•°

"Inuyasha... I know you're hiding something."

Inuyasha squeezed her hand as they are walking through the park. He looked over at her adorable scowl which is made even more adorable by the fact that she is holding ice cream in her free hand. 

He smirked. "What could I be hiding from my beautiful pregnant mate?"

She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "You're being too nice. Why are you being so nice?"

He growled as he turned to fully face her, towering over her, a twinkle in his golden gaze. "I'm always nice, bitch."

Her own gaze challenged him. "Not this nice, baka. Where are we going?"

"Sesshomaru's." He turned away from her and continued walking, but her feet didn't move along with his. He stopped and glared back at her as she tugged on his hand.

"Sesshomaru's," she repeated in disbelief.

"Keh. Come on. Eat your damn ice cream." He finally got her to walk again, and he looked at her disbelieving face from the corner of his eye. "Thought you'd wanna see the twins. And it isn't a long walk from the ice cream shop." He shrugged his shoulders.

She sighed, figuring she would just let it go since they were almost to their destination anyway. She decided to just eat her favorite ice cream in silence the rest of the way there.

°•°•°

Well, she wasn't expecting what was waiting for her at Sesshomaru and Rin's place. Rin and Sango had worked together to set up a baby shower for her. Her family was there, even her little brother and grandfather, which made her giggle because she knows that her mother had to have dragged them out of the house by their ears. Obviously, Rin and Sango are there, being her best friends and the two who put this whole thing together. She noticed Inuyasha's parents and brother are here also, but she assumes that Sesshomaru is only here because it is his house they are having the shower at. 

Kagome gulped when she saw three girls she hadn't seen in so long. Three girls that think her mate is in his mid twenties.

"Kagome-chan!" said girls all screamed at once before rushing over and taking turns hugging her.

Kagome's hand was pulled from Inuyasha's when her three old friends; Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka took turns hugging her. When they finally pulled away, they looked at the hanyou standing just a foot behind her.

"Kagome-chan? How old did you say he was?" Eri whispered, but Inuyasha's ears caught every word.

Kagome gulped but shook her head and forced a smile as she grabbed Inuyasha's hand in her own, pulling him forward to stand next to her. She isn't going to hide it anymore. When she had told them he was twenty-five, she was more or less afraid of the school finding out, but that's not an issue anymore.

"This is Inuyasha... I uh, don't think the age really matters... but he's eighteen."

Three gasps were heard and Inuyasha's slight growl followed. She rolled her eyes before leaning up and kissing him on the cheek. She turned back to them with a bright smile. "He's my soulmate and I love him. If you can't see past our age difference, then you can leave."

Kagome was relieved when the girls immediately apologized, saying they were mostly just surprised. They are glad she is happy and told her how much they missed her.

Once that little bit of drama was over, the party started. She was actually surprised that Inuyasha wasn't fidgeting the whole time wanting to leave. He actually seemed to be happy, but she figures it's because she is happy. She turned and smiled at him from her chair between Rin and Sango.

The girls had all sat in a circle to play some baby games, which Kagome has been winning most of them. After a while, Rin announced it was time for presents. Kagome blushed but smiled when they began to pile gifts in front of her seat. She turned when Inuyasha stepped up behind her and bent down to kiss her cheek.

"Having fun?" he murmured into her ear.

She shivered from him being so close, making her almost forget there are other people around. Almost. "Y-yeah." She turned her face to look into his bright golden gaze. "Thank you."

"Keh. It was Rin's idea." He blushed.

Kagome giggled and kissed him on the nose. "I love you, baka."

He growled playfully. "Love you too, bitch." He ended his sentence with a not so chaste kiss on the lips.

"Get a room!" 

Everyone's laughter had Kagome and Inuyasha both bright red as they pulled apart. Especially because the one who yelled that was her little brother, Souta. She mock glared at him and sighed.

Kagome shook her head and giggled at Inuyasha's grumbling, and then started on opening her gifts.

She was just finishing up her final gift when she felt a tightness in her abdomen, making her gasp and put her hands to her stomach.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha was in front of her in an instant, on his knees in front of her seat. "What's wrong? Is the pup alright?"

Kagome winced as the tightening became a bit uncomfortable. It wasn't really painful, just very uncomfortable. "I-I don't know." She relaxed when it passed and smiled at his concerned features. "I'm fine."

He searched her eyes and sighed. "Ya sure?"

She nodded before giving him a sweet kiss and then continued with her final gift which was from her mother. It was a beautiful hand made baby quilt. She looked over to her mom with a watery smile. "Thanks mama. It's beautiful."

Her mother smiled in return before giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Anything for my daughter and grandchild, dear."

Kagome laughed, but then that same tightness in her abdomen happened again and she gasped and grabbed at her baby bump.

Inuyasha growled and glared at her. "Alright. I'm taking you to the hospital."

Kagome shook her head and looked around at her concerned friends and family, then back at her mate. "I'm fine," she winced, "r-really."

Rin began helping Sango move the gifts and get them packed to leave. She stopped in front of Kagome and put a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright, Kagome-chan. Better to be safe than sorry, right?"

Kagome shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I'm not... I mean... It's still too early."

Rin gave her an encouraging smile. "It'll be okay, Kagome-chan. I'll bring this stuff to your house and it'll all be there when you get home. Just worry about your pup, alright?"

Kagome nodded as a tear fell, and Inuyasha helped her to stand. She said her quick goodbyes to her friends and family, apologizing profusely about leaving early, and then her and Inuyasha were soon rushing to the hospital. She couldn't hold in the tears now that she didn't have a huge audience. At twenty-eight weeks pregnant, she still is about two months early. She knows baby's can survive being born early, but she didn't want to take that chance. Especially with what happened with almost having her child forcibly born last month, she is terrified that she may have done something wrong.

When they made it to the hospital, everything was a blur. She was put in a wheelchair, waiting for someone to see her. She would every now and then get these off feeling of tightness in her stomach that terrified her. The next thing she knew, she was in a hospital bed, getting an ultrasound done and having the doctor feel around her abdomen. Her mate is holding her hand, her grip nearly breaking his bones, but he is at least happy that it is more from nervousness rather than pain.

It felt like forever before the doctor told her what was happening. "Good news, Higurashi-san. You are not going into labor." Both Kagome and Inuyasha let out a breath of relief. "You were just experiencing 'Braxton Hicks contractions'. It's all very normal, it's basically your body's way of getting ready for the birth."

Kagome's grip on Inuyasha's hand slackened and she nodded her head in understanding. "S-so, I didn't do anything that caused it?"

The doctor chuckled. "No dear, nothing induced it. You said you were just at your baby shower, so no need to worry. If you are worried about triggering these false contractions, then I would recommend being careful with penetration or high levels of activity. That can trigger them as well, but like I said, it's perfectly natural and no need to worry. I would also like to inform you, that sex late in pregnancty is okay as long as you aren't going overboard, and it is a myth that intercourse can induce labor, so no need to worry about that." She paused for a moment. "Do either of you have any questions?"

Kagome shook her head. "N-no, thanks." 

The doctor nodded and told them they are free to leave once she signs the discharge papers.

After that exciting day, they went home and relaxed in bed with Isamu. Kagome messaged her friends and family to let them know what had happened, and then cuddled with her mate and dog. She tried to initiate something with him, but he seemed reluctant at the moment.

"You heard the doctor, Inu. It's safe."

His ears lowered as he nuzzled her neck. "I don't wanna hurt you."

Kagome smiled as she nuzzled him back, her hand snaking up to pet a furry ear. "You won't hurt me, baby." She kisses his cheek and then moved to his lips and kissed him softly. "But if you want to wait a little while, it's okay."

He nodded as he wrapped his arms around her, Kagome smiling as she hugged him in return. "I love you, 'Gome."

"I love you too, Inu."

°•°•°

A week has passed since Kagome had a slight scare, but nothing bad has happened since. Inuyasha finally made love to her the night before, slowly and sensually, and oh so perfect. When she didn't have any false contractions or pain at all, he was relieved and they went for round two. 

Now she is laying in bed, buzzing with excitement at just thinking about the night before, but her mate is at school. She smiled. This is his last day of highschool. Then his graduation will be in about a week. 

Just thinking about him is getting her all hot and bothered, and she unconsciously began to lower her hand down her body. When her fingers found her clit, she gasped and pulled her hand away. She hasn't masturbated alone since before she and Inuyasha mated. For some reason it just feels wrong. 

She turned her head and looked at the clock. Rin will be here to check in on her in an hour. She bit her lip as she rubbed her thighs together to try and get rid of the very familiar ache. 

"Damn it." 

She reached over to her nightstand and grabbed her cellphone. Without really thinking, she sent Inuyasha a text, knowing he is in class.

[To: Inu] - I need you inside of me, baby.

She moaned as her hand found its way back to between her legs. She got a twinge in her back and cursed as she rolled back over onto her side. One thing she really misses, is being able to lay on her back. The relief was immediate, and her fingers found their way back to her clit as she bent her leg at the knee for better access.

As she began to rub herself more insistently, her phone started to ring. She was pulled out of her daze, and then picked up the phone with her free hand and nearly laughed at the caller ID. She answered the video call and saw the look on her mate's face.

"What's wrong, Inu?"

He growled at her. "What the hell, Kagome? I thought ya didn't want me to skip school, but I am about two seconds from running home and giving you what you need."

Kagome moaned as she dipped two fingers inside of herself, her eyes half lidded as she watched the look of surprise on her hanyou's face. "Mm. Too bad you have to be a good boy and stay in school. Maybe you could help me out from there?" She could tell he locked himself in the bathroom that they had used multiple times together.

"Fuck. Give me a minute." She watched as he set the phone down and then she heard his pants fall and it made her even more wet for him. A moment later, he picked the phone back up and she was greeted with a very naked hanyou.

She moaned as she licked her lips and fingered herself more feveriously. "Gods, I want you," she murmured as he angled the camera perfectly so she could see every single inch of his immaculate body. His cock fully hard and at the ready for her.

Her eyes darkened when she saw his free hand grab his cock, a drop of precum oozing out. She licked her lips and nearly didn't hear what he said next. "What do you want me to do to you?" His voice was low, gravelly, sexy.

She added a third finger inside of her and bit her lip as she moaned. "I-I want you to use me. Ah... M-my mouth, my pussy, m-my ass. I want everything, Inu." Her eyes rolled back as she used her slickness to begin rubbing her clit. The sound of him grunting as he began to stroke himself only made her hornier.

"Damn, babe. Fuck, I'm gonna fuckin' fill you will my cum. Ungh! R-rub yourself harder, baby. Let me hear you moan my name."

Kagome whimpered as her hand sped up and she forced her eyes back open to look at him. "Oh Gods, Inu-Inuyasha..."

"That's it. Cum for me, Kagome."

Her eyes were watching him intently as she rubbed herself. The way he used his precum as lube and began to jerk off even faster. The way his blazing golden eyes bore into her own dark brown ones. The way he began to pant and groan. All of it has her already nearing the edge. 

She couldn't stop herself from pinching her eyes shut as she moaned out his name, her entire body tingling as she shattered on her hand. "Aaah! I-Inuyashaaa!" Her legs involuntarily closed as her hand sped up and her body thrust against her fingers. Her left hand dropped her phone onto the mattress next to her as she babbled nonsense in the midst of her passion.

When she finally came down, she lifted the phone shakily and the sight of her mate with his white cum all over his chest, stomach, cock, and hand, had another soft moan escaping her parted lips.

"Fuck, baby. You're so god-damned sexy."

Kagome giggled as she took a deep breath in and let it out slowly. "Me? It's your fault I needed to orgasm, dog boy." His throaty chuckle had another pleasurable shiver run down her spine. 

"Ya sure I can't come home? It's my last day, after all."

Kagome bit her bottom lip, but shook her head. "Sorry, Inu. You should really stay 'till the end of the day."

He sighed but relented. "Keh, alright. I gotta get cleaned up so I can get backta class."

Kagome nodded and smiled at him. "I love you."

His smirk had her melting all over again. "Love ya too."

The call ended and Kagome let her cellphone drop next to her on the mattress again. She smiled. After today, he won't have to go to school anymore. He will take a year to spend with her and the baby, and then start work at his father's company alongside his brother, but that just gave her fantasies about sex in his office. She closed her eyes and shook her head.

'Bad Kagome! Calm down, you're gonna pop soon.'

She giggled to herself as she put a hand to her stomach and rubbed. She is twenty-nine weeks along. It won't be too much longer now.

°•°•°

Kagome is sitting next to Rin and Sesshomaru at Inuyasha's highschool graduation. She would normally be with the other teachers, standing next to Sango, but with her leave of absence, and being nearly eight months pregnant, she is sitting with family instead. 

She saw the white ears twitch in the distance as a lady bug landed on the small furs on the tips. She inwardly laughed. They are having the ceremony outside, and some of the bugs like his soft ears. She idly wonders if she should be jealous or not. Then she rolled her eyes at herself and continued to watch her mate in the distance. 

When the principal called out 'Takahashi Inuyasha', she watched him place his cap back on his head, covering those adorable ears, and then he went onto the stage, grabbed the diploma and shook the few adults hands. 

She didn't wait to warn her friends of her plan, she was up and moving faster than she had in months, her large pregnant belly fully noticable, but the only people to know who the father is are demons who know Inuyasha's scent. She ran up the stairs on the other side of the stage and nearly laughed at his wide eyed stare once his eyes locked onto hers.

They both ignored the murmurs in the crowd as she grabbed his cheeks and pulled his face down to meet hers, their lips locking together in front of everyone. She smiled against his mouth when his arms wrapped around her, and when she pulled away his own smile was magnificent.

"You're not embarrassed?"

Kagome wanted to laugh, but she held it back, her smile only growing wider. "I was never actually embarrassed, you baka. I just know I won't lose my job over this."

She kissed him again and then pulled away, grabbing his hand and holding her stomach with her other hand. They walked off the stage together, laughing as a few catcalls were heard from the distance. She glanced at his face and her smile widened. She laid her head on his shoulder and sighed happily as they sat to watch the rest of the ceremony.

When graduation was over, they celebrated with the family at a nice restaurant. Then as the night neared its end, Kagome and Inuyasha went home together. They took care of Isamu; letting him outside and then giving him food and water, and then Kagome dragged Inuyasha to the bedroom, closing the door behind them.

She kissed him softly as she backed him up towards the bed. "You want your graduation gift now, Inu?"

His growl sent shivers down her spine.

She gave him one more smacking kiss as she unbuttoned and unzipped his pants and then let them fall to the floor at his feet. She pushed him backwards so he is sitting on the edge of the bed, and then held his hands so she could get on her knees in front of him, between his thighs.

Once she was on her knees, he moved her hair out of her face and looked into her eyes. "You know, ya don't gotta do anything if you're uncomfortable." He glanced down at her round stomach and then back into her big brown eyes.

She grinned up at him as she slid her hands up and down his legs, watching as his cock hardens beneath the fabric of his boxer briefs. "I'm perfectly comfy, Inu."

She grabbed the hem of his shirt and tugged it up his body, nearly moaning aloud when he helped divest himself of the offending cloth. She gazed up and down his immaculate body, her mouth watering with anticipation. She reached down to the hem of her own shirt and pulled it up and over her head, throwing it carelessly onto the floor beside her. She couldn't fully stifle the whimper when his preditory growl sent shocks of pleasure throughout her entire body. She looked deep into his eyes as she reached behind herself and unhooked her bra. She allowed the bra to fall off of her shoulders, freeing her larger than usual breasts, due to the pregnancy.

She took a stuttering breath in when Inuyasha reached forward and lightly stroked her engorged breasts, barely grazing her hardened nipples. She moaned and then moved both of her hands up his legs to grab his now fully erect cock through the thin fabric of his boxer briefs. She stroked him a few times, loving looking at the tent in his underwear and the small wet spot leaking through from his precum.

After a moment, she reached around him and grabbed the waistband of his underwear and then he lifted his hips so she could pull them down. She slowly, ever so slowly, pulled them past his cock, loving the show of it springing free of its confines. She licked her suddenly dry lips as his boxer briefs made it to his ankles, and then her small fingers were wrapped around his shaft.

"Gods, I never get tired of touching you, Inu."

His response was cut short and turned into a groan when her mouth descended onto his cock, her lips around the mushroom head and her tongue flicking just on the underside of it. She stroked him into her mouth, losing herself easily into the erotic sensations of having Inuyasha's big hard cock in her mouth, oozing precum, as he moans out her name. 

She looked up into those sexy golden eyes and moaned as she took more of him in, relaxing her throat, and then sucking as the tip hits as far as it could go.

"Fuck, 'Gome... You're so fucking hot."

"Mm," she hummed around his cock. She lowered her right hand to his balls and began to caress them as she continued to lick, suck, and moan around his pulsing erection.

Her eyes rolled back as she tasted more of his precum. She wanted to taste his seed. She wanted him to cum in her mouth and watch her swallow and then she wanted to make him cum deep into her pussy. 

The thought only had her wetter as she sucked him off faster and faster. She pulled her mouth off of him abruptly, making him growl furiously, but she ignored him as she moved her right hand back to his cock and started to pump him as she licked and sucked on his balls. She moaned as he groaned and grabbed the back of her head with a clawed hand. Her body began to hump the air as if there was something there, but she didn't care. She couldn't stop it. She wanted him. She wanted him to feel good before she feels good. He always takes care of her, and she wants to take care of him. 

She switched her mouth and hands once more. Using her left hand to hold the base of his cock, her right hand lightly squeezing and pulling on his balls, and her mouth sucking on the mushroom head as her tongue strokes the sensitive spot beneath it. She could tell he was close. His groaning and growling and muttering of her name over and over again. The tightening of his hands on the back of her head, the way he is pulling her hair, not enough to really hurt, but just enough to make her go even crazier.

"Oh fuck oh fuck, fuck!" 

As soon as she tasted his warm seed on her tongue, her eyes opened back up to look at the sexiness of her mate. A light sheen of sweat coating his body, his stomach muscles twitching, his fangs piercing his lips as his eyes pinch shut tight, and his ears focused purely on her. She moaned as she swallowed mouthful after mouthful of his delicious seed. She felt a pleasurable shiver as his eyes opened and locked onto hers, the piercing gold making her body flame with her desire for him.

When he was finally finished, she licked him clean and backed off of him, her hand still lightly stroking him to keep him from going soft too soon. His golden gaze darkened to a more ambery hue as she continued to stroke him.

"You like your graduation gift so far, Inu?"

He cursed under his breath as he loosened his hold on her hair and helped her to stand up by her hands. She stood between his thighs and smiled seductively as she grabbed a clawed hand and placed it at the waistband of her leggings. His eyes burned a hole through her and she nearly collapsed at the intensity of it, but then her pants and undies were gone in a flash with just a flick of his wrist. She shuttered and then her grin widened.

"Lay on your back for me."

"What about the pup?"

Her smile widened. "He'll be okay, I promise. Please, lay down?" she asked sweetly.

Inuyasha growled and did as he was told. He scooted back on the bed and laid down fully, watching her the entire time. Kagome smiled as she looked up and down the Adonis before her. He is the most beautiful, sexy man she could have ever been with, and she thanks the Kami every day for making him hers, and her, his.

She crawled up onto the bed next to him, and then swung her left leg over his body so she is hovering just above his cock, but she is facing towards his feet. They've never actually done this position before, but she read online that it is a better position during the third trimester, so she wanted to try it.

"Damn," Inuyasha growled out as he saw the swell of her ass.

Kagome smirked. She rubbed his legs, moving her hands higher and higher until she finally reaches his erection, and then lightly stroked him for another moment.

"Damn it, 'Gome, you're killin' me."

She chuckled as she raised her hips and then lined his cock up with her soaking wet entrance. She continued to stroke him as she rubbed herself with the tip, causing small mewls of pleasure to escape as she did so. His growling and groaning only making her even hornier. He thrust his body upwards, which has the head of his dick sliding in just slightly, making her moan and smile at his impatientness.

"Mm, you want me, baby?" Kagome asked breathlessly.

"Fuck yes." His hands grabbed her waist, but didn't force her to move.

She smiled again as she eased herself down on top of him, only enough to get him excited, and then pulled back off. She turned her head enough to see the pain in his eyes, the need to be inside of her, and it made her so much wetter.

"Beg," she all but whispered.

His ears twitched at the command and he whined and whimpered. The fact that it seemed like he couldn't even speak in the human tongue made her body tingle and sing with even more excitement. She sunk down just a little further than the last time before pulling all the way back up once again.

"Beg me, Inu."

He growled and whimpered once more, his mouth opening and closing a few times before he finally managed to get out a single word; "please."

Her smile was sultry as she sunk down on top of him inch by glorious inch. "Good boy," she murmured before turning to face the opposite way and giving him what they both want.

She slid herself down to the base of his cock as she held onto him by the ankles, her nails digging into his skin as she pulled back up and pushed herself back down. She moaned as he groaned and her mouth parted as her eyes pinched shut. 

She continued this slow but pleasurable pace atop of him, loving the sounds of pleasure he is making from beneath her. His hands are stroking her hips, her back, her ass, anywhere he can reach as she moves herself up and down on top of him.

"Go faster, babe."

Kagome smiled but didn't do as he requested. Not until she hears that single word again. "Ask me nicely, Inu."

He cursed under his breath as he thrust upwards, but she raised her hips just enough so he didn't get what he wanted. "Damn it, bitch," he growled.

Her laugh turned into a moan as she sunk down and lifted herself back up once more. "Come on, Inu. Be a good boy and beg me."

"Fuck... Please, go faster," he snarled as if it was hard on him to say that.

She smiled to herself. She knows the only reason he isn't using his hanyou strength to dominate her right now is because she is nearly eight months pregnant and he doesn't want to hurt her or the baby. It might be a bit underhanded for her to use that to her advantage, but it sure is fun.

She turned her head just enough to lock eyes with him and smirked. "Now, was that so hard?" His growl was cut off and turned into a groan as she began to ride him with the gusto she had held back until now. "I've told you, good boy's get rewards, Inu." She turned back around and threw her head back with a moan as she rocked her hips faster and faster. 

His claws dug slightly into her hips, not enough to make her bleed, but enough to add to her pleasure. She moaned as she rose up and slammed back down, and then continued rocking her hips back and forth on top of him. She could feel that very familiar tingle spread throughout her body and the pleasurable warmth at the pit of her stomach as she lost herself in the pleasure of his body within hers. She isn't holding back her moans and whimpers, and neither is he. Her nails are digging into his ankles as she gets closer and closer to her end, she feels like she is about to burst from the inside out as she nears the precipice of ecstacy.

"I-Inu-ya-shaaaa... Ah, oh yes!" She sped up her movements even more, the warmth within her core spreading further and further throughout her body, mixing with the tingles that makes her want to scream in ecstacy. "Oh Gods, I-Inu!"

Inuyasha growled and pumped his hips up, sliding his cock in and out of her as she rocks her body back and forth. "Fuck. Cum on my dick, baby. Cum for me."

As if that's what her body was waiting for, she screamed out her release, her fluids soaking his cock and balls as she continued to ride him faster and faster. A mixture of his name and 'yes' being the only two words she could form as her orgasm crashes over her in waves upon waves of pure pleasure.

She whimpered as she came down and then gasped and moaned when he thrust up into her with a grunt, filling her with his warmth. She is shaking, her legs feel like jelly, and her mind is fuzzy. When Inuyasha stopped pumping his seed inside of her, she let out a breath and nearly collapsed, but he held her by her hips. She whined when he lifted her off of his now softening dick, and then laid her on her left side next to him. He rolled onto his right side to face her and pushed her sweaty bangs out of her face before leaning in to kiss her sweetly.

He placed a hand on her stomach and they both smiled when they felt the pup kick. "You alright?"

She nodded her head and then leaned forward to cuddle her face into the crook of his neck. She raised her right hand up to his ear to idly play with the soft furs as she sighed and cuddled in deeper.

"You like your graduation present?" she asked before letting out a small giggle.

He chuckled in response, kissed the top of her head and held her to his body tighter. "Mm. It was perfect. Can't wait to see what I get for my birthday."

Kagome laughed and smacked his arm playfully before returning to his ear to pet him some more. "We'll have our baby, so I guess your present is not doing the diaper that day," she teased.

He scoffed as he pulled back to look into her teasing brown eyes. "Dummy."

"Baka." Her smile only widened.

"Bitch," he growled out as his lips got closer to hers.

"Yours," she mumbled before their lips crashed together in a passionate embrace.

"Damn right," he responded between kisses.

Kagome laughed and then moaned against his mouth as he nibbled on her bottom lip with a fang.

Soon, their kisses died down, the both of them tired from the long day. Kagome cuddled in close to him once again and closed her eyes.

"I love you, Inu."

He rubbed circles along her back and nuzzled the side of her head. "Love you too, 'Gome."

°•°•°

Kagome groaned as she was woken up in the middle of the night by a twinge in her stomach. She whimpered when she tried to sit up in bed and her lower back felt like it was on fire. When she was finally sitting up, she turned to see her human mate fast asleep next to her. He always does sleep better on his human nights, since his senses aren't on overdrive.

She took a deep breath in and stood up before waddling to the ensuite bathroom. When she was done relieving her bladder, she was walking towards the bed and another pain stopped her in her tracks. She held her breath and closed her eyes tight until it passed. She took another calming breath in and shook the feeling off as probably more Braxton Hicks contractions.

That is, until she was just a step from the bed and felt a gush of warmth in her lower abdomen. Her eyes widened as she looked down and saw the evidence of the start of her baby being born.

She looked up at the sleeping human and gulped. He's never allowed anyone other than herself and his parents see him as a human. But she also knows he would be pissed if she tried to wait this out until the sun came up.

Another pain in her lower back and stomach made the decision for her as she whimpered and clutched her stomach with the palms of her hands. "I-Inu..."

Inuyasha groaned and yawned, blinking a few times and then rolled over towards her when he didn't feel her in bed with him. When his eyes focused on hers, realization dawned and he was sitting up in a flash.

"Kagome?"

She tried to smile reassuringly, but it came as more of a grimace, and she nodded her head. "My water broke."

"Oh fuck." He jumped out of bed and slipped on a random pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt, then he carefully helped her into some comfortable clothes as well.

"C-can you get the bag I packed, Inu?"

He nodded his head quickly and ran to the closet to grab the hospital bag and then came back as quickly as he had left. "Need me to carry you?"

She shook her head and held her hand out for him to take to help her walk out to the car. On their way out of the bedroom, they both pet Isamu who was sleeping on the couch and rushed over when he heard the noises. Inuyasha couldn't communicate to him fully as a human, but the dog seemed to understand, whimpering softly and then moving aside to let the couple by.

Inuyasha helped Kagome into the passenger seat of his car and then put the bag in the back and got into the driver's seat. Kagome put her hands to her abdomen as another wave of pressure hit her and she whimpered. "I'm sorry, Inu."

He gave her a look as if to say she is an idiot for apologizing, and then pulled out of the driveway and began driving to the hospital.

She shook her head. "You don't have to come in with me until sunrise if you want." It hurt her to suggest it, but she didn't want to expose his secret.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion and then his eyes widened in realization. He looked at his hands and then his hair and cursed under his breath. He caught the look of hurt on her face and he shook his head. "No. It don't matter. I'm coming in with you, Kagome."

Her eyes locked on his and she smiled wanly. "Are you sure?"

He gave her his usual smirk. "Keh, of course."

Once they made it to the hospital, Inuyasha grabbed the bag out of the back and helped Kagome out of the passenger seat. He helped her walk to the doors and then sat her down in a wheelchair before going to the front desk to tell them she was going into labor. They began to time her contractions and then soon they were in a hospital room, Kagome attached to monitors and Inuyasha pacing the room like a madman.

"Inu?"

He stopped his pacing to rush to her side and grab her hand. "What is it? Is the pup alright?"

She forced a tired smile and nodded. "He's okay. Can you call my mom and tell her the baby's coming?"

He nodded and pulled his phone out, but then she spoke again. "You should tell your brother and Rin too. And your parents. I don't want everyone in for a while, but I would like them at least nearby if they can. Oh, can you tell Sango too?"

She knows that everyone is expecting her to pop anytime soon anyway, so they should all be by the phone. Her due date was initially May 28th, but the pup wanted to come just a little bit early on May 21st.

Inuyasha nodded a little more reluctantly this time. "You sure you want my brother here?"

Kagome sighed. "If you don't want him here because of you being human, I understand. He's just family and I think he should be here to see his new baby nephew."

It was on the tip of his tongue to correct her and say, 'niece,' but he is smarter than that. Sometimes. Instead, he shook his thoughts free and gave her a reassuring smile. "I'll call them. I'll be right back alright?"

Kagome nodded, relaxed her head back on the pillow, and closed her eyes. 

Soon, Inuyasha came back into the room and sat back down next to her just as another contraction hit her. He held her hand and winced at the strong grip she is holding on him, but didn't say anything against it.

Hours pass, and Inuyasha's youki returns. He sighs in relief, but then his ears lower to his head as he senses and smells her discomfort. He whimpered as he leaned forward to nuzzle the side of her face, but her grip on his hand only tightened. The obstetrician told them that it shouldn't be too long now as she checked the dilation once again.

Kagome took a deep breath in and out as a lone tear escaped her eye. As much as it is extremely uncomfortable, she is happy that they will be seeing their baby very soon. She knows her family is just outside of her door, waiting to see the new addition, and it only makes her smile, even through the pain.

"It's time Kagome. I'm gonna need you to push, okay?" Kagura spoke warmly. 

Kagome nodded as her tight grip on Inuyasha's hand grew stronger. She did as the doctor said and pushed. She breathed when she was reminded to, and she pushed again. She felt tears sliding down her face as the minutes ticked by, but then Inuyasha's free hand was on her cheek to make her look at him.

"It's okay baby, I'm right here. You got this. Bring our little girl into the world."

Kagome chuckled, knowing he mentioned the gender to bring her spirits up, and then she winced and grunted as she was told to push once again. Her head hit the pillow and she let out an exhausted sob. "I... I can't..."

Inuyasha kissed her cheek and wiped her tears away with the pad of his thumb. "You can. Come one. Don't you want to hold our pup?"

Kagome nodded her head and when the doctor told her to give her one last push, she did. She squeezed Inuyasha's hand as she stared into his bright golden gaze, pushing and holding in the need to scream. 

But then she relaxed and they heard a cry.

Kagome's eyes widened as she stared into her mate's eyes and then she slowly turned her head to look down towards the foot of the hospital bed. She gulped and smiled when she saw a little tuft of raven hair, but nothing else.

"Would you like to do the honors, dad?" Kagura asked as she turned the baby towards him.

Inuyasha's eyes were as big as saucers as he gulped and went to the foot of the bed. He held his hand out to grab the scissors and he very carefully put them where the doctor told him to. He cut the cord in one snap and then watched as they did the rest. When they were done, they wrapped the baby up in a little pink blanket and handed it to Inuyasha, who promptly went back to his mate and placed the pup in her arms.

Kagome looked down at her baby and couldn't prevent the sob that tore free from her throat.

"Congratulations you two. She's very beautiful," Kagura spoke before cleaning up the afterbirth and wiping Kagome down, and then she left the couple alone.

Kagome swiped a strand of raven hair away from her baby's face and her smile widened. "My little baby girl. She's perfect."

Inuyasha put his arm around his mate as he smiled down at the small bundle in Kagome's arms. Kagome lowered the front of her gown just enough to expose a breast and laughed happily, more tears falling, when the pup latched on greedily.

They stayed there in silence for a few minutes, just watching the pup eat. Then Kagome's smile grew even wider when the little girl opened her eyes for the very first time. She has beautiful brown eyes just like her mother, but with speckles of gold throughout the irises, from her father.

Inuyasha reached down and moved her hair out of the way to show that she has human ears on the side of her head, and then he grabbed one of her tiny hands which are still in tiny little fists, and saw that she has little baby claws on each finger.

When the pup was done feeding, Kagome covered herself back up and then burped her. She turned to Inuyasha and her smile only grew. "Wanna hold her, papa?"

He smirked, but his confidence was easily seen through as he swallowed and held his hands out. Kagome carefully placed the baby in his arms and the smile he wore was so wide and so genuine, it made more tears come to her eyes.

Inuyasha got comfortable on the hospital bed with his mate as he menuvuered their baby slightly between the both of them, but cradled in his right arm.

"You said you already came up with a name, right?"

Inuyasha nodded as he smoothed out his pup's hair and then turned and kissed Kagome lightly on the lips. "What do you think about Moroha?"

Kagome smiled and kissed him once more. "I think...," she looked down at her baby girl and lightly wiped her cheek with the pad of her thumb. "...welcome to the world, Moroha."

A/N: Wow, that was crazy long! Thanks to those of you who read this story! I will get the Epilogue out as soon as possible. I haven't started it yet, but it will be much shorter than the other chapters, so it shouldn't take me too long to complete.

Sorry if towards the end it seemed to kind of be rushed. It was already 15,000 words longer than I initially planned, and I didn't want to have to split it into another long ass chapter that would mostly be sex anyway haha. I hope you enjoyed!!!

Remember; one more very small chapter to go!

Thanks again!

Ps. Everything I wrote about the pregnancy and the birth, I had to Google lol. I have never had kids, I am an only child, and I only ever knew one person close to me who had a baby so... yeah. I hope I did that justice though! I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. And now I know what to look forward to when I do have kids in the future haha.
