DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here!

Welcome Back Readers!

I realize it’s been a little over a year since I last posted a Chapter, but…

My motivation to write has been in the dumps as of late…

But the reasons why is because:
1. I have about 20; give or take a few, other fan-fictions to focus on.
2. My 12-year old brother is pestering me to watch the ‘Dragon Ball’/’Dragon Ball Z’ series and/or play video-games all time.
3. My paternal-grandmother is having health-issues.
4. My mother is going in for surgery.
5. My old laptop kept going into BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) on me; forcing me to buy a new laptop, and I had to transfer all my files onto the new one.

And it’s causing me insomnia!
I haven’t had a decent-night’s sleep in over a month!

Plus, I don’t work well under pressure.

So, it should be understandable as to why it takes me so long to update…

*Sighs*
Oh well…

Last Time;
Myoga has confirmed that Sakura is indeed InuYasha’s offspring.
And InuYasha has begun to remember a VERY important night, for both him and Kagome!
What is going to happen now?
Find out!

Here is Chapter 33!

Please Enjoy!


*Disclaimer: I don’t own InuYasha or anything belonging to Rumiko Takahashi.*

Go lden-eyes slowly blink open, wincing against the bright-sunlight streaming in through the gaps in the door of the hut.

“Why does my head hurt…?”, InuYasha mutters, as he sits up holding his head.

There was a thick musky-aroma hanging in the air of the hut, mixed in with the stale-smell of the dust.

What’s that smell?’, he mentally wonders.

He suddenly felt the body of another shifting beside him, also feeling skin rub against his own.

Wha…? Bare-skin…?

He slowly turns his head to look over his shoulder to find Kagome asleep underneath the same blanket as him.

It would have been easy to guess that them sharing a blanket came down to keeping warm to survive; if it wasn’t for the fact that their clothing was hanging on a rope overhead and Kagome’s exposed-shoulder peeking out from under the blanket, plus his discarded fundoshi and her long-johns were laying nearby in a heap.

“Oh my…”, he gasps, already deducing what might have happened during the night, ‘B-but how…? Why…?’, he mentally panics, as he reaches over to grab his underwear.

“Oh god… Oh god… Oh god…”, he quietly curses, as he pulls on his kimono, hakama, and finally his haori, ‘What the hell have I done…?!’, he mentally berates himself.

“InuYasha…?”, he heard Kagome question, “What’s wrong?”

“Kagome…? H-how are you feeling?”

“A little light-headed…”, she answers, as she sits up to hold her head, only for the blanket to fall and uncover her bare-chest, causing her to quickly cover herself with her arms and InuYasha to turn away from her with a red-face, “W-why am I naked…?”

S-she doesn’t remember what happened?’, he inwardly notes; the feeling of guilt instantly washing over him, “I-I don’t know…”, he half-truthfully stammers; because he honestly didn’t remember either.

“Did we both get hypothermia…?”, she asks to herself, ‘Could it be possible that we went through paradoxical-undressing…?’, she ponders, ‘I’m pretty sure that’s probably it…

“Here”, InuYasha states, throwing her clothing to her, “You better get dressed before you catch a cold…”, he adds, with his face still beet-red.

“Thank you”, she mutters, starting to put on her clothes while still underneath the blanket.

I hope to hell, that what I think happened last-night, didn’t happen…’, he thinks, as he stares out the door while Kagome continued to get dressed.

One Month Later…





InuYasha sat reclined back on a branch high in a tree with his eyes closed, a troubled look plastered across his face.

“InuYasha-sama, what’s wrong?”, Myoga questions, while he bounces up and down on his master’s knee, “Normally you’re not this lethargic…”

“Leave me alone…”, he grumbles, “Can’t a guy quietly think to himself…?”

I just can’t shake this feeling that something definitely happened that night that will ultimately change mine and Kagome’s lives forever…’, he thinks, slightly opening his eyes.

“InuYasha, come on down!”, he could hear Kagome call out to him from the base of the tree, “The food’s done!”

“It took long enough…”, he mutters, as he leaps down from the bough and lands beside her.

As he stood up from the crouch he landed in, a gentle-breeze wafts through the tiny-clearing and brings the scent of something sweet & musky, and the smell was emitting from Kagome’s direction causing him to stop in his tracks.

“InuYasha, what’s wrong?”, she questions, stopping to figure out why he wasn’t following.

“It’s nothing…”, he grumbles, sprinting past her.

What’s with him?’, she thinks, as she resumes walking.

When she reaches the camp-fire they had lit to cook the food, she saw that InuYasha was already seated and eating.

“Kagome, I told InuYasha to wait for you to get here before he could eat, but he hit me!”, a small child with reddish-brown hair and green-eyes, and a bushy light-tan tail cries, leaping into her arms.

“Shippo-chan, it might be best to leave InuYasha alone for a while, he still isn’t exactly feeling well from when he was bitten by that snow-snake”, she explains, as she puts him down.

“Okay…”, the little fox-demon pouts.

Even though InuYasha tried his best to ignore the nagging-feeling in the back of his mind as he ate, every-time a breeze picked up and carried the sweet & musky scent to his nose that feeling kept getting stronger, especially since he recognized the smell as that belonging to expecting-mothers from the 100-years he spent growing up alone in the wild.

It’s probably some residue-scent from the pregnant-woman we helped yesterday…’, he concludes, attempting to find a reasonable-explanation besides what his brain was telling him it was.

“OH NO!”, Kagome suddenly shouts, startling and nearly causing the hanyou to drop his bowl.

“What’s wrong, Kagome-chan?”, Sango questions.

“I almost completely forgot that I’ve got a big-test coming up in a few days”, the reincarnated-miko replies.

“That sounds like quite the predicament, Kagome-sama”, Miroku states, “We’re about two-days travel from the well”

“Kagome-chan, take Kirara, she’ll get you back there faster”, the demon-slayer offers, while she pets the cream-colored two-tailed cat.

“Thanks, Sango-chan!”

“There is no time for that, I’ll take her home”, InuYasha bluntly informs, as he stands up, “Someone has to make sure she stays out of trouble”

“InuYasha…”, the school-girl blinks, stunned that he was actually willing to take her back to her time for something he considered pointless.

“You ready to go?”, he snorts.

“Uh… Yeah”, she nods, as she shoulders her over-sized backpack.

“Let’s get going”, he says, as he allows her to climb onto his back before he sprints away from the rest of the group.

“That was strange…”, Shippo states, after the two were out of sight.

“I know what you mean. InuYasha has never been so completely willing to let Kagome-sama go home in the middle of the search for the jewel-shards”, the monk agrees.

“InuYasha still hasn’t recovered from the venom, and let’s be glad that he’ll actually rest”

“Venom…? What venom was InuYasha-sama afflicted by?”, Myoga asks, as he bounces on top of Kirara’s head.

“Oh, Myoga-sama, about a month ago Kagome-sama and InuYasha had gotten separated from us; in the mountains, and were attacked by a demon, and InuYasha was bitten by a snow-snake”, Miroku explains.

“A snow-snake…”, the flea demon gasps, as the color seemed to drain from his face, “The situation is worst then I thought…”

“Huh?”, the three of them blink in confusion at the tiny-demon.

“The venom of the snow-snake has a very particular side-effect on those with demon-blood”, he clarifies, “Specifically, the ones who’ve reached maturity”

Both Sango and Miroku look at each-other as a blush lightly forms on their cheeks; completely understanding what he was talking about, while Shippo looked even more confused.

Kagome’s House…




InuYasha sat on the floor with his back against the side of Kagome’s bed as he stared at her back while she sat hunched over a book at her desk.

“How long are you going to burn a hole into my back?”, she asks.

“It’s getting late, you should get some sleep”, he replies, “That test of yours is still a few days away, right?”

“Huh…?”, she gasps, glancing at the clock; which read 10:39pm, “You have a point”, she yawns, before standing up, “No point is getting sick by studying”, she adds, as she walks towards her dresser and pulls out a pair of pajamas, and heads for the hallway.

“Where are going now?”

“I’m going to take a shower before going to bed”, she replies, “Is that alright with you?”

“Feh!”, he scoffs.

“Sit!”, she growls, causing him to be pulled face-first to the floor as she vanishing into the hall.

“God damn it…”, he curses under his breath, as he pushes himself up from the floor.

He sat there on her floor with his back against her bed and his arms folded across his chest for nearly thirty-minutes before Kagome returned wearing her PJs.

“You’re still up…?”, she gasps.

“Why wouldn’t I be?”, he snorts.

“Because most of the time when you’re here, you fall asleep before I do”, she replies, climbing onto her bed and under the blankets.

“Maybe it’s one of those few times I’m not sleepy”

“I guess so”, she sadly smiles, ‘I was hoping to see his peaceful sleeping-face tonight…’, she thinks, “Well, good night”

“Night…”, he bids.

Sitting there quietly on the floor for several-minutes, he listens to Kagome’s breathing as it evened out into the peaceful-rhythm it took on when she was completely asleep, before he allowed himself to let his guard down.

He deeply inhales, taking in the scents of the room; particularly the smell of Kagome and the lightly-scented cherry-blossom shampoo she used, but for some odd-reason the sweet-musky scent was still evident in the vicinity and its source was Kagome herself.

How could the smell still be coming from Kagome, even after she’s showered, unless…’, InuYasha thinks, let the thought trail-off as he turns his head towards the sleeping-girl, ‘That means… God damn it!’, he mentally curses, as the realization hit him harder than when Tokajin/Peach-man had belly-flopped on top of him.

A feeling of extreme guilt floods over him, as he gently rests his hand on her abdomen, ‘What the hell have I done…?’, he thinks with his head hung low, now knowing for sure that there was a child growing in the womb beneath his hand.

T wo Weeks Later…




“Are you alright, Kagome?”, one of her friends asks, as the raven-haired teen hunched over a trash-can along the sidewalk.

“Yeah, I think so. It’s probably a case of food-poisoning”, she responds, as she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand.

“Could you possibly be pregnant?”, another friend questions.

“That can’t be possible…”, a third friend states.

“Yeah, she and her boyfriend need to be in a solid-relationship before they take that step”, the first friend informs, “Right, Kagome?”, she inquires, turning towards her and finds the teen lost in her own thoughts, “Kagome…?”

“Huh…?”, she gasps, looking up.

“What’s wrong, Kagome?”

“It’s nothing, just thinking about if I did well on the test or not”, she says, weakly smiling, “Well, I better hurry home and get some rest if I want to get over whatever is wrong with my stomach”, she hurriedly declares, running ahead of her friends, “See you later!”

“Uh… Later…!”, they utter, stunned.

There is just no way I could be pregnant, right…?’, she thinks, as she hurries down the sidewalk towards her house, ‘You have to be intimate with someone to get pregnant, and I’m sure InuYasha and I have never…’, her thought suddenly trails off, as she rushes up the temple-steps, ‘Wait… There is that night a month and a half ago, could we have…?

Twenty-minutes later in the bathroom, Kagome found herself staring at the answer to her question as a little plus-sign appeared in the window on the plastic-stick; she was pregnant.

That… That insensitive bastard!’, she mentally curses, as she storms her way towards the well-house and into the well.

When she arrived in the past, she quickly climbs out of the well and begins her hunt for the inu-hanyou who had incurred her wrath, finding him dozing on a branch high up in a tree.

“SIT!”, she growls, causing the prayer-beads around his neck to pull him down towards the ground; nearly hitting every branch on his way down.

“What the hell did you do that for?!”, he shouts, as he pops his head up out of the hole in the ground he had created, “Uh…”, he utters, noticing the tears brimming in her eyes.

“It’s completely your fault…”

“What the hell did I do?!”

“You took advantage of me while I was unconscious, you bastard!”, she screams, “I thought you were better than that!”

“Kagome… I…”

“Kagome, it wasn’t InuYasha-sama’s fault!”, Myoga exclaims, jumping up and down on her shoulder.

“Myoga-jiichan…”, she mutters.

“When he was poisoned by the snow-snake, its venom affected both InuYasha-sama and yourself, causing the two of you to engage in intimate-activities”, the old-flea explains, “And he’s been distraught about what has happened ever since he found out, he hasn’t been able to get a wink of sleep”.

“How long have you known?”

“About two-weeks…”

“Why didn’t you tell me…?!”

“How the hell do you tell the one that you love, you got her pregnant?!”, he shouts, with a blush forming on his cheeks.

The one he loves…?’, she repeats in her mind, as she starts blushing, “InuYasha, I’m sorry… I didn’t know how torn up you were over this… But you should have just told me, instead of waiting for me to find out for myself”

“I’m sorry…”

“So, you haven’t been able to sleep…?”

“I had been trying to get as much sleep as I could before the sun-sets…”, the hanyou grumbles under his breath, “Could you forgive me...?”, he whispers.

“I kind of have to…”, she quietly answers, as she rests her head on his shoulder, “I can’t very well raise the child all by myself, can I?”

“I guess not…”, he mutters, as a tear streams down his cheek, ‘Though my mother did…’, he thinks.
