Chapter 3: Created you a monster

It's funny how time continues to fly whether you want it to or not. The month of August came and went and I was glad to see it go. It was one thing to endure the heat and another to endure it while four months pregnant. No one argued when I opted not to leave the cool comfort of Kaede's hut or the mountain fed spring.

It was now mid September and the weather was once again cooling down to comfortable levels. Kaede and Sango wandered the fields in another test of what plants, herbs and trees could be used as remedies and in basic first aid. Miroku was out on another mission exercising bad spirits. Shippo and I had been coerced into babysitting Hitomi and Katsurou. It wasn't as bad as I thought, the two were easily amused and a simple walk in the woods or a ball brought them giggling at my feet. Katsurou seemed to take everything in stride; his cool attitude was slowly melting away but he still seemed weary of anyone other than his immediate family.

We sat in a small grassy field, Shippo playing leapfrog with Katsurou and Hitomi chasing anything that moved among the flowers, her current target was a helpless lady bug. As I watched them I felt a small fluttering, almost ticklish feeling inside the melon shaped ball that was now my midsection. I placed my hand on it feeling it once more.

I grinned despite myself as the tickling continued.

“What's wrong Inu Yasha,” asked Shippo as he and Katsurou came running up to me catching Hitomi's attention in the process.

“The pup has decided to finally get my attention,” I said with a grin.

“You can feel it,” asked Katsurou looking wide eyed.

“Just a little,” I replied looking into those dark eyes filled with wonder.

“Touch,” called Hitomi.

“You can touch but you won't be able to feel it yet, Hitomi.”

She looked at me, confused.

“What does it feel like,” asked Shippo.

“My Mom's tummy would wiggle and you could feel bumps when she was carrying Hitomi,” said Katsurou, his eyes still fixed on my ever-growing waistline.

“We won't feel those for another month or so. Right now…,” I pulled Shippo close and tickled his stomach causing him to giggle and struggle to get away.

“It feels like that.”

Katsurou looked envious so I reached over and tickled him too causing him to laugh out loud which was a very pleasant sound.

“Me, me, me!”

I laughed and looked down at Hitomi, picking her up and tickling her until she giggled out, “stop” repeatedly.

Sango and Kaede approached us from the fields smiling as they did so, telling me they had seen the tickle attacks.

“Have you been having fun,” Sango asked as she approached.

“Inu Yasha can feel the pup,” Shippo announced hopping around excitedly.

“That's great news, sounds as though everything is progressing well,” said Kaede with her hands on her lower back.

“Let's head back and get dinner started,” said Kaede and by the time I stood she had shuffled past me. I could tell this pregnancy was only going to get more fun as it progressed.

********************************************************

October came in flurry of brightly colored leaves they blew in the wind and covered the ground in a carpet of warm colors. I was trying to teach Shippo to hunt in the noisy environment and how to use the sounds around you to blend in. It was hard teaching him when my ever growing middle not only slowed me down but caused my movements to become louder and more clumsy but we pulled it off, bringing home small amounts of meat after each session, enough to feed us with a bit left over to be salted and stored in the meat shed. Katsurou often followed and did just as well as Shippo even with his young age and lack of demon abilities. He was extremely proud of his sling caught squirrel.

I was thankful for the chilly weather; I was now able to hide my expanding middle in layers of clothes. It was sometimes too warm but better safe than sorry.

Later in the month we all joined the town in its harvest. It was a large gathering of wheat, corn, wild rice, squash and pumpkins of all kinds as well as apples. We had fresh apples often and it seemed as though I couldn't get enough of them. Kaede told me not to worry when I voiced my concerns, saying that it was just a craving due to the unborn pup. She bought a few large bushels and jarred a few in slices; while others she mashed and placed them into jars with cinnamon calling it “apple sauce” which was a new addiction of mine. Now if only I had some of that ramen to eat with it.

********************************************************

November was a pleasant month spent with the young ones teaching them what I knew of nature and hunting, more often that not walking with Hitomi tied to my back. I had found a quiet joy in their company and I often wondered if Kagome had found a happiness of her own. Had she married Honjou? She should have graduated and finished her worlds “High School”. I was betting that she was headed to another type of school called “college”. She said she wanted to get a degree in history, she's seen enough of it so she should do fine.

Even with these thoughts I still managed to continue my current life, the pup kicking my abused bladder. I rubbed my overly large middle and continued walking, my breath now making wisps of smoke in the cold air.

“Hungry, Yasha,” said Hitomi from my back.

I stopped and cupped my hands around my mouth, “Katsurou, Shippo! It's time to head back.”

I heard the crunching of leaves and saw them come running, racing back to my side. They were almost nose to nose but I saw Shippo stop short letting Katsurou win. Both were rosy cheeked and out of breath but happiness shined in forest green and ebony eyes.

“Let's head back and get dinner ready before Kaede-baba and your mother get back from the nearby town. I bet it would surprise them.”

Both nodded, still fighting to catch their breath as we turned around headed toward home. Once home I had found I had two willing helpers underfoot. I grabbed a small cracker and held it behind my back until small fingers plucked it from mine. I got two pieces of cloth and tied my sleeves back. I had Shippo start the den fire and sent Katsurou to gather some potatoes and leeks from the storage closet. I set a clean pot on the floor and when both Shippo and Katsurou returned I sent them outside to fill it with water. Once it was filled I placed it over the fire by hanging it on the fire place hook.

I had them fetch me another small bowl of water while I fetched a large bowl of rice from a storage bag. The boys helped me pour the rice into the water and rinse it until it was cleaned and then we dumped the water and the two went to fetch more water while I handed Hitomi another cracker and gathered the potatoes, peeling them and then cutting them into smaller pieces. I dropped the potatoe pieces into the bowling pot above the fire. I snagged another pot and pulled another hook over the fire and placed a small pot with the rice near the flame. The two returned and I poured a small amount of water into the rice.

As the rice and potatoes boiled I sliced the leeks and put them into a bowl for Shippo to dump into the pot of potatoes. I added a few spices and a little bit of salted chicken and fish to give the soup some flavor and with the left over water I set a tea pot to boiling. I untied Hitomi from my back and set a blanket a little ways from our eating area, setting her on it with her favorite doll.

The boys gathered plates and bowls and set them before the fire. No sooner had the potato and leek soup finished than Miroku walked in removing his sandals and thick woolen cloak. He came in and gave his son and daughter a hug before sitting in front of the fire.

“It feels nice in here, smells nice too. I see you and the boys have been busy.”

“Dinner will be done soon, the tea has just started to boil,” I answered as I pulled up a stool to sit on.

The tea kettle started whistling just as I sat and I sighed and attempted to stand.

“Stay sitting Inu Yasha, I'll fetch the tea; Shippo why don't you put a nice big scoop of rice in each bowl and Katsurou why don't you ladle some soup into the larger bowls.”

Both did as asked and I sat there stunned. Dinner was done and tea was poured into cups just as the entrance to the hut opened again allowing Kaede and Sango entrance.

“It smells wonderful in here. Was this your doing Miroku,” asked Sango as she slid off her sandals and woolen cloak and then helped Kaede with her cloak.

“As much as I would love to take credit for this I have to admit that it was Inu Yasha's doing.”

“I had help,” I replied placing my hands on my belly hoping to quiet my now active pup.

“Well done Inu Yasha, your pup will be lucky to have you as its mother,” said Kaede as she sat down on a cloth mat before the fire.

The words made me blush and my eyes teared just a little. Damn hormones….
