It took the small group of travelers nearly a week to make it back to the straw hut that served as their 'home base'. Kagome smiled wryly as she entered the small hut.
Miroku sat solumly against the back wall and Kagome couldn't help but giggle at the red handprint on his cheek. Next to him Sango, Eri and Ayumi entertained Shippou, trying to keep his mind off his missing okaa-san. Shippou was the first to notice the new occupents of the hut.
"Kagome-mama!" The small Kitsune launched himself into the young miko's open arms and snuggled against her chest. "We were so worried!"
Kagome giggled. "It's nice to see you too Shippou-chan!" She felt a hand on her arm and turned to Inu yasha. The hanyou gave her a sly smile and Kagome felt a blush move across her cheeks. She turned away quickly. Stammering, she continued. "Umm.. Did you guys get the shikon shard?"
"Ah yes." Miroku smiled. "After we found our way back that is..."
Houjou nodded. "So you guys got moved by that odd light too?"
"Yep!" Ayumi shook her head. "It was so weird!"
Eri nodded. "Does that happen here often Kagome?"
"Not really.." She said thoughtfully. "That's the first time a shikon shard has ever done that to me."
"But why?" Sango asked as she gently placed the recovered shard in her friend's free hand.
Inu yasha let out a loud 'keh', drawing the groups attention to him. "That's an stupid question! The youkai didn't want to die so it made a 'wish' that sent us scattering. Unfortunately for him," Inu yasha smirk. "He made it a little... late."
Kagome nodded, absently scratching Shippou's ears. "That makes sense."
Kagome blushed as she felt two arms wrap around her waist and a breathy voice whisper entered her ear. "Kagome..."
She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Hai?" she whispered back just loud enough for the hanyou to hear.
Inu yasha didn't reply but mearly nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck and nipped lightly at the exposed flesh.
Kagome's blush deepened as she gently removed herself from Inu yasha's arms. "I should be heading back. I have something.." she paused. "Important to do."
Kagome grabbed her pack and headed for the door. "I'll be back soon to get you guys! Ja!"
Without another word Kagome dissappeared behind the door leather and was gone.
Inu yasha let out a long aggravated sigh as he walked over and sat down in the corner of the small hut. Yuki and Houjou followed his lead, taking seats opposite their new friends.
Kagome had been itching to get back home for about three days now and Inu yasha couldn't help but wonder why. 'I know that her time has a few more conveniences but is it really that much better??' He sighed and slumped back against the wall of the hut, letting his eyes close.
Shippou hopped onto Inu yasha's shoulder, "Hey why'd Kagome go home?"
"How the hell should I know runt! She told you exactly what she told me!" He picked the kitsune off his shoulder by the tail and dropped him on the floor. "Now leave me alone."
Shippou started to cry as Ayumi scooped him up. "Inu yasha! You shouldn't be so mean to Shippou-chan!!"
Inu yasha didn't even bother opening his eyes. "Keh."
He heard the girl 'humph' and smirked in his victory. He placed his hands behind his head, relaxing and listened as the two groups of travelers became one again and trade stories of their adventures. Nothing seemed all that important really, mostly just walking around almost aimlessly with an occational youkai attack.
Inu yasha sighed. Things were going to be boring around here without Kagome. He vaguely entertained the idea of going to join her in her time. It might be nice to get away from all the "interuptions" they had run into on their trip.
Either Houjou and Yuki were clueless or they thought Kagome and he were. Either way Inu yasha was about to kill them both.
Inu yasha's eyes snapped open suddenly as he felt a weight against his shoulder. He looked over with a confused look on his face to find Yuki leaning against him, her eyes closed.
He blinked, "What do you want?"
Yuki shook her head. "That trip was soooo exhausting."
Inu yasha nodded and pried himself away from Yuki. "Yeah it was. That's why I was trying to nap."
Yuki pouted and attempt to grab his arm but Inu yasha stood and headed out of the hut. "I'm gonna go check on Kagome." he called behind him as the door leather fell back into place.
Yuki pouted and folded her arms. What did Kagome have that she didn't? What did Kagome have that made not one guy but *TWO* totally swoon over her? It just wasn't fair that she could drag them both along. One had to get off the ride.. and Yuki knew which one she wanted off.
'Well,' Yuki thought as a wicked smile spread across her lips, 'There's more then one way to skin a cat.. or in this case.. inu hanyou..'
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha brushed his arm off, "What was that all about??.. Keh. Stupid humans.." He stood on the edge of the well and jumped in. In a flurry of blue and white light Inu yasha found himself transported to the future and looked up to see the familiar well house roof telling him the trip had been a success.
He climbed out of the well and headed towards Kagome's bedroom room. The window was open as always but no one appeared to be home. "Kagome?" he called.
No one answered.
Inu yasha sniffed the air. She had been there but it seemed that she had gone out not long before he had arrived. With a huff Inu yasha plopped down on her bed. He buried his face in her pillow, taking in as much of her scent as he could and easily fell into a gentle sleep.
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha's ears twitched. Someone was in the house? He heard keys drop, what sounded like a purse being tossed to the floor and the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. His nose twitched slightly as he sniffed the air.
It was Kagome.
The footsteps moved closer and finally stopped in the doorway of her sunset colored room. Kagome smiled as she noticed the hanyou spread out across her bed, his face still buried in her pillow. She walked over and took a seat on the edge of the bed. Her hand reached out and began to play with a few strains of his silvery mane.
His voice was heavy with sleep as he spoke. "Hi.."
Kagome smiled and kissed his cheek. "Hi.. Did you sleep well?"
Inu yasha nodded and rolled onto his side to face his mate. His arms reached out and wrapped around her waist. "Better here then with all those damn chatty people back home."
Kagome giggled. "Too noise for your poor ears?" She reached up and rubbed the base of Inu yasha's ears. His head tilted into her hand and he let out an almost purring sound. Kagome smiled in delight. "Kawaii.."
Inu yasha blushed but didn't pull away. "So.. umm.. Where have you been?"
Kagome stopped rubbing his ears and hid her hands in her lap. Inu yasha opened his eyes and sat up to look into her eyes, trying to obtain the reason for her sudden stop.
"Kagome?" he asked, a twinge of worry in his voice.
Kagome looked at him and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry mate. I umm.. I had a doctor's appointment today."
Inu yasha nodded and laid his head back in her lap. His eyes closed again as her hands returned to his ears. "Are you ok?"
Kagome smiled. "Yeah I'm just fine."
Inu yasha's arms wrapped around her waist and he nuzzled his face into her stomach. "You'd tell me if something was wrong wouldn't you?"
Kagome bushed some stray hairs out of his face and kissed his temple. "Yes."
Inu yasha sighed and a long comfortable silence filled the room.
"I don't want to go back."
Kagome laughed. "Well I suppose you can stay here if you don't mind my family?"
"As long as you're with me I can handle anything..."
Inu yasha's ears flickered as he heard the front door open and the house begin to stir below. Kagome giggled. "Speak of the devil.." She gently, much to Inu yasha's disappointment, freed herself from his grasp but just long enough to walk over and shut her bedroom door. She took her seat again next to Inu yasha on the bed and he easily reclaimed his previous position in her lap.
The pair of lovers sat in silence for a long while, one watching as the last rays of the sun disappeared from the room and the other relishing the attention she paid to his ears as he relaxed in her lap.
"Inu yasha?" she whispered cautiously, afraid he might be sleeping.
"Hum?" came the reply from her lap.
She smiled softly. "The doctor did tell me something.. important."
Inu yasha rolled onto his back so he was looking up at his mate from her lap. "Is it bad?"
Kagome giggled. "I don't think so." He nodded, telling her silently to continue. Kagome sighed and closed her eyes, looking for the words to speak. There was another long pause and the room grew almost uncomfortable to Inu yasha under all the anticipation. Finally, Kagome's eyes opened again, soft tears lining their edges, and stared down into Inu yasha's.
"I'm.. I'm pregnant."
Inu yasha just stared up at Kagome. Suddenly he shot up into a sitting position and turned to face Kagome. "Pregnant?"
Kagome nodded, biting her lower lip between her teeth. "Mm hmm."
Inu yasha blink and Kagome fear from his posture he may take off at any moment. Not that she would blame him. This was a lot to take in.
His hand reached out and touched her stomach gently, "And.. and it's mine?"
Kagome almost laughed. "And who else's would it be??"
Inu yasha shook his head. He knew it was his but he just wanted to hear the words coming from her mouth. It was his.. The baby was part of him and.. part of her. He looked up at Kagome, deep brown meeting with his shimmering gold, and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss.
His arms crushed her into him almost as if he were trying to make them one person, one single being. His lips burned against hers with a deep unbridled love that he could no longer keep contained. Kagome's hand came up to caress his cheek and she gasped as she felt a single tear drip onto her fingertip.
She gently pulled back and looked at Inu yasha in surprise. "Inu yasha? Are you ok?" Her hand reached up and gently wiped the tear from his cheek.
He sniffled. His hand reached up and touched the top of his cheek as more and more tears joined their friend on his cheeks. "I'm.. I'm happy but why am I..?" He choked on his words.
Kagome pulled Inu yasha into a tight embrace and felt his tears fall onto her shoulder as he nuzzled close to her. She smiled gently and caressed his back. "It's because you're so happy." Kagome sniffled as her own tears began to fall. "And I'm so glad you are.."
Inu yasha jumped back. "Why wouldn't I be??" His hand reached down and hesitantly touched Kagome's stomach, "This.. a family.. is all I've ever wanted." He looked up to Kagome, "I couldn't be any happier then I am right now."
Kagome choked on her tears and threw herself into Inu yasha's arms. She felt his tears fall into her hair and smiled through her own. This man made her so happy sometimes she didn't think she would survive the overwhelming feeling.
Kagome gave a shaky sigh as she pulled away from Inu yasha and wiped away her tears. She cleared her throat, "So, umm.." she laughed lightly. "Who do you want to tell first?"
"No one.." In a sudden and quick movement, Inu yasha had Kagome gathered in his arms and pulled her down with him on the bed. "I want to just lay here with you and," he paused as his fingers gently ran over her slightly exposed stomach. "And *our* baby.." he smiled, liking the way it sounded on his lips.
Kagome giggled and cuddled into Inu yasha's side with a content sigh. "I suppose we can do that.. They can all wait until tomorrow to find out.."
Inu yasha smiled and pulled the covers up over their bodies as sleep began to take hold of the small family. Inu yasha's hand finally came to rest protectively over Kagome's womb as he followed his mate into a peaceful and content slumber.
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome stood in front of Inu yasha as he sat on the bed and giggled as he nuzzled against her stomach. "Inu yasha!" Kagome laughed. "I'm trying to get dressed!" She attempted to pull her shirt down over her stomach but Inu yasha quickly moved it away again with a growl. He nipped the soft flesh of her stomach causing Kagome to jump with a squeak. "Inu yasha!"
He growled again but finally released his mate to get ready. He sighed and smiled as he watched her wander around the room, packing her bags. "I still can't believe it..."
Kagome smiled, throwing something or another into her large yellow bag. "I know.. it's like a dream."
Inu yasha flopped back onto Kagome's bed, "I'm gonna make us a house."
Kagome looked back at Inu yasha, "A house?? Where?"
"Where ever we like!" He jumped to his feet and swept Kagome into a tight embrace. "I'll build you the best house ever, where we can raise our pups to be happy." He pressed his forehead against hers, "Just like you've made me.."
Kagome blushed and kissed Inu yasha softly. "I'd like that.. Can it be near the village?"
Inu yasha smirked, "You want to live in the feudal age?"
"Of course!" She tapped his nose playfully and smiled. "It's better for raising 'pups'." she laughed.
Inu yasha growled and nipped at the mark on her shoulder. "Wench.."
Kagome giggled, "Baka.." She sighed and leaned against Inu yasha, letting his strong arms support her. "Have you decided who to tell first?"
Inu yasha thought for a moment on this before answering. "Honestly I would rather not tell anyone yet."
Kagome raised an eyebrow, "Explain?"
"It's just.. If we tell everyone they are gonna wanna fawn over you and plan that 'baby' thingy you were talking about and really," he paused for a moment to nuzzle his cheek against hers. "I just want sometime to fawn over you alone. And get use to the idea of being a daddy."
Kagome giggled. "Ok but.. Can we at least tell my mom?"
"We should tell her first.. It's only fitting."
"You'll stay with me right? I'm just kinda.. worried about how she'll take it."
Inu yasha smiled. "Of course I'll stay but.." He gently took Kagome's chin and tilted her face up to his. "I think she'll be happy that you're happy.." He kissed her cheek. "And I think she'll be ecstatic that she'll be a grandma.." He kissed her other cheek. "And I think that you have nothing to worry about.." He kissed her lips softly. "Ok?"
Kagome sighed happily, "Ok.."
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome paced around the kitchen as she waited impatiently for her mother to return from the grocery store. Inu yasha sighed. "Kagome sit down. You're making me dizzy!"
Kagome let out a frustrated sigh and slumped down onto Inu yasha's lap. "What's taking her so long!?"
Just then there was a click from the front door opening. "I'm home!"
Kagome rushed into the living room and started taking bags from her mother. "Mom! Glad you're home!!"
Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter in surprise. "Not that I'm not happy to see you dear but I would have thought you'd be back in the feudal age by now?"
Inu yasha came up and took the bags from Kagome. "Give me those!" He grumbled at her, "You don't need to be carrying anything." He hopped off into the kitchen with the bag.
Mrs. Higurashi raised an eyebrow. "Kagome? What is he talking about?"
Kagome giggled nervously. "Well you see mom.." She took her mother's hand and led her over to sit on the couch. "Well.." Kagome took a deep breath.
"YouseemomI'mkindapregnantandthebabyisInuyasha'sandwearereallyhappy andwantedyoutobethefirsttoknow."
Kagome took in another breath and sighed. "So.. yeah." She looked at her mother and waited.
Mrs. Higurashi sat there for a moment, staring at her daughter and trying to unscramble the words that had just been spouted at her like a train wreck. "Kagome.." she said after a long moment, "You're pregnant??"
Kagome nodded sheepishly.
"Well this is a surprise!" Mrs. Higurashi hugged her daughter. "Congratulation!"
Kagome blinked. "You mean.. you're not mad??"
"Well I can't say I didn't see this coming.. with the way you two have been going at it lately..."
"Mom!!"
"What? It's not like I wasn't young once. I know how these things work." She winked at her daughter.
"Mom.. I didn't need to know that."
Mrs. Higurashi laughed. "So where is the proud father?" She looked towards the kitchen, "Inu yasha? Will you come here?"
Inu yasha peeked around the corner into the living room. "Is it safe to come out?"
The two women laughed and nodded, signaling it was safe to enter. Inu yasha approached cautiously, taking a seat next to Kagome on the couch. "So then I take it you're not angry?" he asked.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "I'm very happy for you two.. I'm sure you will take good care of my daughter."
Inu yasha puffed out his chest in a show of pride. "You have my word."
"There is one more thing mom."
Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter and nodded for her to continue.
"You see, Inu yasha and I have decided not to tell anyone about the baby yet."
Inu yasha smiled, wrapping his arms around his beautiful mate. "We'd like sometime to just enjoy it." He blushed. "If that makes any sense."
She giggled. "I understand. Your father and I didn't tell anyone about you Kagome until I was in the middle of my second trimester!" The two women laughed while the hanyou boy attempted to figure out exactly what a trimester was.
"So then you'll keep our secret?" Kagome said hopefully.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled brightly. "Oh course dear!! Now," her mom stood up quickly and clapped her hands together. "Who's hungry?!"
@>~~~^~~~~
It was well into the afternoon before Kagome and Inu yasha finally made their way back through the well and back to the feudal age. Kagome giggled as Inu yasha pulled her out of the well. "Are you going to treat me like a doll now??"
Inu yasha frowned. "I'm just worried you'll hurt yourself."
Kagome laughed. "Don't worry so much ok? I'll ask when I need help ok?" Kagome dusted off her skirt. "I do need to get *some* exercise you know.."
Inu yasha let out a loud 'Keh' and folded his arms. "Fine but you better not over exert yourself or so help me-"
Kagome cut him off midsentence, kissing his lips gently. She smiled as she pulled away, "I love you."
Inu yasha sighed and hugged her tightly. "I love you too.."
They stood there for a long moment before finally parting and heading back to the village. As soon as they entered Kaede's hut Shippou was hurling himself towards Kagome but Inu yasha caught him midway through the air by the tail. He held the kitsune up until they were eye to eye. "No jumping on Kagome runt."
"Inu yasha!" Kagome reached out and snatched Shippou from his captor. "I thought we just talked about this!!?"
"Keh!" Inu yasha folded his arms. "He's too old to be doing that anyway."
Kagome let out a frustrated sigh as she took a seat near the center of the hut, just next to the fire followed closely by Inu yasha. She let out a startled squeak as she found herself pulled suddenly into the overly protective hanyou's lap. Her mouth opened as if to protest but a light growl escaped his lip, effiantly quieting the stubborn girl.
With a huff, Kagome resigned herself to her fate before turning to the group scattered around the hut. "We miss anything?" she asked, attempting to lighten the mood.
Sango shrugged. "Nothing out of the ordinary..."
"Say Kagome-chan," Eri smiled nerviously. "Not to be rude or anything but.. Do you think you could take us home now? I mean.. we have been here way passed when we told our folks we'd be home!"
Kagome gasped. "Oh crap! I'm sorry guys! We'll take you home right away!" Kagome made a quick movement to stand but was held fast by a pair of arms locked around her waist.
"And where do you think you're going wench?"
Kagome frown. "One of us has to take them home Inu yasha. And I-"
"And you assumed it'd be you?" Inu yasha let out a loud 'keh' before standing with Kagome in his arms and walking over to a bed of straw nestled in the hut's far corner. He placed his mate down gently and kneeled next to her. "You stay here and rest while I take them home ok?"
Kagome again opened her mouth to protest her 'foul' treatment but again was silenced by her mate's stern growl. Kagome folded her arms, "Fine! But when you get back we're going to have a *long* talk!"
"Fine." Inu yasha stood, smirking trimuphantly at his mate before turning to the small group of humans that had gathered by the door to wait for him. "Are you all ready?"
The group nodded as Inu yasha moved towards the door. "Then why are you still standing there?! I haven't got all day!!"
With that the group hurried out the door, Inu yasha on their heels. The hanyou took one last look at his mate before smiling and following Kagome's friends out the door.
Kagome waited for a few minutes before getting up and peaking out the door to see where her mate was currently. Sango looked at her friend with a confused expression as she suddenly turned back and sat down to put on her shoes. "Kagome-chan? Where are you going?"
Kagome stood and tapped her toes more comfortably into her shoes. "Just a small walk around the village! I know if I don't take it now I won't get to later!"
Sango looked even more confused by her friend's unusal statement but brushed it off. "Umm, Ok? What shall I tell Inu yasha when he returns?"
Kagome waved away her friend's question with a smile. "Oh I'll be back long before that!! Don't worry about it!"
With that Sango watched as her friend bounced happily out the door in the fresh afternoon air and let herself go to her own wondering thoughts.
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha pushed back the door leather and entered the small hut about 30 minutes, his eyes immedately drifting to the spot where he had left his mate only to find her gone. His eyes drift the entire area of the hut to find that she was actually no where in the small building. "Kagome?" he called lightly sniffing the air.
Miroku didn't even look up from his resting position against the back all as he spoke. "She went for a walk just after you left."
Inu yasha growled, "What?! Where did she go!?"
"Calm down Inu yasha." Sango stirred some stew that was now boiling over the open fire pit. "She said she'd be around the village and no farther."
Inu yasha growled again before turning on his heels and darting back out the door. When he found his mate there was going to be hell to pay, he thought as he began following her still fresh scent down the main road of the small village.
He leapt from one house to another until he ran out of houses at the end of the village. Another, more menising growl escaped his lips and his eyes widened in a kind of shock as his sensitive nose picked up on a new smell mingling with Kagome's.
Grave soul and ashes.
Inu yasha's amber eyes scanned the forest against the horizon and it didn't take him long to find the creatures that he searched for. The soul catches sat in plan sight, obviously waiting for him. His clawed hand flex and his knuckles cracked as the dead priestess' words came back to haunt him.
~~ "Protect her well... Because the moment that your guard is down.. I *will* take her from you.." ~~
Inu yasha sprang from his pearch on the finally house and took off full speed towards his waiting guides. He was going to make that woman sorry she had take his mate. Gods help her if she hurt her...
@>~~~^~~~~
A/N: Hey minna-san! I just wanted to kind of appoligize for Inu yasha's extreme OOC moment ^^;; But hey to tell you the truth I don't really think it was all that OOC... I mean think about it.. He has the woman of his dreams, he's gonna be a dad, life seems perfect and nothing can bother him.. I think that's enough to break our up tight little hanyou, ne?
Anywho! For those of you out there going "Oh Gods Why!!?!" I'd just like to say.. Gomen but.. It's my story!! ::evil laughter::
Anywho! Ja ne!

Kagome blushed as she felt two arms wrap around her waist and a breathy voice whisper entered her ear. "Kagome..."
She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Hai?" she whispered back just loud enough for the hanyou to hear.
Inu yasha didn't reply but mearly nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck and nipped lightly at the exposed flesh.
Kagome's blush deepened as she gently removed herself from Inu yasha's arms. "I should be heading back. I have something.." she paused. "Important to do."
Kagome grabbed her pack and headed for the door. "I'll be back soon to get you guys! Ja!"

Shippou started to cry as Ayumi scooped him up. "Inu yasha! You shouldn't be so mean to Shippou-chan!!"
Inu yasha didn't even bother opening his eyes. "Keh."
He heard the girl 'humph' and smirked in his victory. He placed his hands behind his head, relaxing and listened as the two groups of travelers became one again and trade stories of their adventures. Nothing seemed all that important really, mostly just walking around almost aimlessly with an occational youkai attack.
Inu yasha sighed. Things were going to be boring around here without Kagome. He vaguely entertained the idea of going to join her in her time. It might be nice to get away from all the "interuptions" they had run into on their trip.
Either Houjou and Yuki were clueless or they thought Kagome and he were. Either way Inu yasha was about to kill them both.

'Well,' Yuki thought as a wicked smile spread across her lips, 'There's more then one way to skin a cat.. or in this case.. inu hanyou..'
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha brushed his arm off, "What was that all about??.. Keh. Stupid humans.." He stood on the edge of the well and jumped in. In a flurry of blue and white light Inu yasha found himself transported to the future and looked up to see the familiar well house roof telling him the trip had been a success.
He climbed out of the well and headed towards Kagome's bedroom room. The window was open as always but no one appeared to be home. "Kagome?" he called.
No one answered.
Inu yasha sniffed the air. She had been there but it seemed that she had gone out not long before he had arrived. With a huff Inu yasha plopped down on her bed. He buried his face in her pillow, taking in as much of her scent as he could and easily fell into a gentle sleep.
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha's ears twitched. Someone was in the house? He heard keys drop, what sounded like a purse being tossed to the floor and the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. His nose twitched slightly as he sniffed the air.
It was Kagome.
The footsteps moved closer and finally stopped in the doorway of her sunset colored room. Kagome smiled as she noticed the hanyou spread out across her bed, his face still buried in her pillow. She walked over and took a seat on the edge of the bed. Her hand reached out and began to play with a few strains of his silvery mane.
His voice was heavy with sleep as he spoke. "Hi.."
Kagome smiled and kissed his cheek. "Hi.. Did you sleep well?"
Inu yasha nodded and rolled onto his side to face his mate. His arms reached out and wrapped around her waist. "Better here then with all those damn chatty people back home."
Kagome giggled. "Too noise for your poor ears?" She reached up and rubbed the base of Inu yasha's ears. His head tilted into her hand and he let out an almost purring sound. Kagome smiled in delight. "Kawaii.."
Inu yasha blushed but didn't pull away. "So.. umm.. Where have you been?"
Kagome stopped rubbing his ears and hid her hands in her lap. Inu yasha opened his eyes and sat up to look into her eyes, trying to obtain the reason for her sudden stop.
"Kagome?" he asked, a twinge of worry in his voice.
Kagome looked at him and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry mate. I umm.. I had a doctor's appointment today."
Inu yasha nodded and laid his head back in her lap. His eyes closed again as her hands returned to his ears. "Are you ok?"
Kagome smiled. "Yeah I'm just fine."
Inu yasha's arms wrapped around her waist and he nuzzled his face into her stomach. "You'd tell me if something was wrong wouldn't you?"
Kagome bushed some stray hairs out of his face and kissed his temple. "Yes."
Inu yasha sighed and a long comfortable silence filled the room.
"I don't want to go back."
Kagome laughed. "Well I suppose you can stay here if you don't mind my family?"
"As long as you're with me I can handle anything..."
Inu yasha's ears flickered as he heard the front door open and the house begin to stir below. Kagome giggled. "Speak of the devil.." She gently, much to Inu yasha's disappointment, freed herself from his grasp but just long enough to walk over and shut her bedroom door. She took her seat again next to Inu yasha on the bed and he easily reclaimed his previous position in her lap.
The pair of lovers sat in silence for a long while, one watching as the last rays of the sun disappeared from the room and the other relishing the attention she paid to his ears as he relaxed in her lap.
"Inu yasha?" she whispered cautiously, afraid he might be sleeping.
"Hum?" came the reply from her lap.
She smiled softly. "The doctor did tell me something.. important."
Inu yasha rolled onto his back so he was looking up at his mate from her lap. "Is it bad?"
Kagome giggled. "I don't think so." He nodded, telling her silently to continue. Kagome sighed and closed her eyes, looking for the words to speak. There was another long pause and the room grew almost uncomfortable to Inu yasha under all the anticipation. Finally, Kagome's eyes opened again, soft tears lining their edges, and stared down into Inu yasha's.
"I'm.. I'm pregnant."
Inu yasha just stared up at Kagome. Suddenly he shot up into a sitting position and turned to face Kagome. "Pregnant?"
Kagome nodded, biting her lower lip between her teeth. "Mm hmm."
Inu yasha blink and Kagome fear from his posture he may take off at any moment. Not that she would blame him. This was a lot to take in.
His hand reached out and touched her stomach gently, "And.. and it's mine?"
Kagome almost laughed. "And who else's would it be??"
Inu yasha shook his head. He knew it was his but he just wanted to hear the words coming from her mouth. It was his.. The baby was part of him and.. part of her. He looked up at Kagome, deep brown meeting with his shimmering gold, and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss.
His arms crushed her into him almost as if he were trying to make them one person, one single being. His lips burned against hers with a deep unbridled love that he could no longer keep contained. Kagome's hand came up to caress his cheek and she gasped as she felt a single tear drip onto her fingertip.
She gently pulled back and looked at Inu yasha in surprise. "Inu yasha? Are you ok?" Her hand reached up and gently wiped the tear from his cheek.
He sniffled. His hand reached up and touched the top of his cheek as more and more tears joined their friend on his cheeks. "I'm.. I'm happy but why am I..?" He choked on his words.
Kagome pulled Inu yasha into a tight embrace and felt his tears fall onto her shoulder as he nuzzled close to her. She smiled gently and caressed his back. "It's because you're so happy." Kagome sniffled as her own tears began to fall. "And I'm so glad you are.."
Inu yasha jumped back. "Why wouldn't I be??" His hand reached down and hesitantly touched Kagome's stomach, "This.. a family.. is all I've ever wanted." He looked up to Kagome, "I couldn't be any happier then I am right now."
Kagome choked on her tears and threw herself into Inu yasha's arms. She felt his tears fall into her hair and smiled through her own. This man made her so happy sometimes she didn't think she would survive the overwhelming feeling.
Kagome gave a shaky sigh as she pulled away from Inu yasha and wiped away her tears. She cleared her throat, "So, umm.." she laughed lightly. "Who do you want to tell first?"
"No one.." In a sudden and quick movement, Inu yasha had Kagome gathered in his arms and pulled her down with him on the bed. "I want to just lay here with you and," he paused as his fingers gently ran over her slightly exposed stomach. "And *our* baby.." he smiled, liking the way it sounded on his lips.
Kagome giggled and cuddled into Inu yasha's side with a content sigh. "I suppose we can do that.. They can all wait until tomorrow to find out.."
Inu yasha smiled and pulled the covers up over their bodies as sleep began to take hold of the small family. Inu yasha's hand finally came to rest protectively over Kagome's womb as he followed his mate into a peaceful and content slumber.
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome stood in front of Inu yasha as he sat on the bed and giggled as he nuzzled against her stomach. "Inu yasha!" Kagome laughed. "I'm trying to get dressed!" She attempted to pull her shirt down over her stomach but Inu yasha quickly moved it away again with a growl. He nipped the soft flesh of her stomach causing Kagome to jump with a squeak. "Inu yasha!"
He growled again but finally released his mate to get ready. He sighed and smiled as he watched her wander around the room, packing her bags. "I still can't believe it..."
Kagome smiled, throwing something or another into her large yellow bag. "I know.. it's like a dream."
Inu yasha flopped back onto Kagome's bed, "I'm gonna make us a house."
Kagome looked back at Inu yasha, "A house?? Where?"
"Where ever we like!" He jumped to his feet and swept Kagome into a tight embrace. "I'll build you the best house ever, where we can raise our pups to be happy." He pressed his forehead against hers, "Just like you've made me.."
Kagome blushed and kissed Inu yasha softly. "I'd like that.. Can it be near the village?"
Inu yasha smirked, "You want to live in the feudal age?"
"Of course!" She tapped his nose playfully and smiled. "It's better for raising 'pups'." she laughed.
Inu yasha growled and nipped at the mark on her shoulder. "Wench.."
Kagome giggled, "Baka.." She sighed and leaned against Inu yasha, letting his strong arms support her. "Have you decided who to tell first?"
Inu yasha thought for a moment on this before answering. "Honestly I would rather not tell anyone yet."
Kagome raised an eyebrow, "Explain?"
"It's just.. If we tell everyone they are gonna wanna fawn over you and plan that 'baby' thingy you were talking about and really," he paused for a moment to nuzzle his cheek against hers. "I just want sometime to fawn over you alone. And get use to the idea of being a daddy."
Kagome giggled. "Ok but.. Can we at least tell my mom?"
"We should tell her first.. It's only fitting."
"You'll stay with me right? I'm just kinda.. worried about how she'll take it."
Inu yasha smiled. "Of course I'll stay but.." He gently took Kagome's chin and tilted her face up to his. "I think she'll be happy that you're happy.." He kissed her cheek. "And I think she'll be ecstatic that she'll be a grandma.." He kissed her other cheek. "And I think that you have nothing to worry about.." He kissed her lips softly. "Ok?"
Kagome sighed happily, "Ok.."
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome paced around the kitchen as she waited impatiently for her mother to return from the grocery store. Inu yasha sighed. "Kagome sit down. You're making me dizzy!"
Kagome let out a frustrated sigh and slumped down onto Inu yasha's lap. "What's taking her so long!?"
Just then there was a click from the front door opening. "I'm home!"
Kagome rushed into the living room and started taking bags from her mother. "Mom! Glad you're home!!"
Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter in surprise. "Not that I'm not happy to see you dear but I would have thought you'd be back in the feudal age by now?"
Inu yasha came up and took the bags from Kagome. "Give me those!" He grumbled at her, "You don't need to be carrying anything." He hopped off into the kitchen with the bag.
Mrs. Higurashi raised an eyebrow. "Kagome? What is he talking about?"
Kagome giggled nervously. "Well you see mom.." She took her mother's hand and led her over to sit on the couch. "Well.." Kagome took a deep breath.
"YouseemomI'mkindapregnantandthebabyisInuyasha'sandwearereallyhappy andwantedyoutobethefirsttoknow."
Kagome took in another breath and sighed. "So.. yeah." She looked at her mother and waited.
Mrs. Higurashi sat there for a moment, staring at her daughter and trying to unscramble the words that had just been spouted at her like a train wreck. "Kagome.." she said after a long moment, "You're pregnant??"
Kagome nodded sheepishly.
"Well this is a surprise!" Mrs. Higurashi hugged her daughter. "Congratulation!"
Kagome blinked. "You mean.. you're not mad??"
"Well I can't say I didn't see this coming.. with the way you two have been going at it lately..."
"Mom!!"
"What? It's not like I wasn't young once. I know how these things work." She winked at her daughter.
"Mom.. I didn't need to know that."
Mrs. Higurashi laughed. "So where is the proud father?" She looked towards the kitchen, "Inu yasha? Will you come here?"
Inu yasha peeked around the corner into the living room. "Is it safe to come out?"
The two women laughed and nodded, signaling it was safe to enter. Inu yasha approached cautiously, taking a seat next to Kagome on the couch. "So then I take it you're not angry?" he asked.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "I'm very happy for you two.. I'm sure you will take good care of my daughter."
Inu yasha puffed out his chest in a show of pride. "You have my word."
"There is one more thing mom."
Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter and nodded for her to continue.
"You see, Inu yasha and I have decided not to tell anyone about the baby yet."
Inu yasha smiled, wrapping his arms around his beautiful mate. "We'd like sometime to just enjoy it." He blushed. "If that makes any sense."
She giggled. "I understand. Your father and I didn't tell anyone about you Kagome until I was in the middle of my second trimester!" The two women laughed while the hanyou boy attempted to figure out exactly what a trimester was.
"So then you'll keep our secret?" Kagome said hopefully.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled brightly. "Oh course dear!! Now," her mom stood up quickly and clapped her hands together. "Who's hungry?!"
@>~~~^~~~~
It was well into the afternoon before Kagome and Inu yasha finally made their way back through the well and back to the feudal age. Kagome giggled as Inu yasha pulled her out of the well. "Are you going to treat me like a doll now??"
Inu yasha frowned. "I'm just worried you'll hurt yourself."
Kagome laughed. "Don't worry so much ok? I'll ask when I need help ok?" Kagome dusted off her skirt. "I do need to get *some* exercise you know.."
Inu yasha let out a loud 'Keh' and folded his arms. "Fine but you better not over exert yourself or so help me-"
Kagome cut him off midsentence, kissing his lips gently. She smiled as she pulled away, "I love you."
Inu yasha sighed and hugged her tightly. "I love you too.."
They stood there for a long moment before finally parting and heading back to the village. As soon as they entered Kaede's hut Shippou was hurling himself towards Kagome but Inu yasha caught him midway through the air by the tail. He held the kitsune up until they were eye to eye. "No jumping on Kagome runt."
"Inu yasha!" Kagome reached out and snatched Shippou from his captor. "I thought we just talked about this!!?"
"Keh!" Inu yasha folded his arms. "He's too old to be doing that anyway."
Kagome let out a frustrated sigh as she took a seat near the center of the hut, just next to the fire followed closely by Inu yasha. She let out a startled squeak as she found herself pulled suddenly into the overly protective hanyou's lap. Her mouth opened as if to protest but a light growl escaped his lip, effiantly quieting the stubborn girl.
With a huff, Kagome resigned herself to her fate before turning to the group scattered around the hut. "We miss anything?" she asked, attempting to lighten the mood.
Sango shrugged. "Nothing out of the ordinary..."
"Say Kagome-chan," Eri smiled nerviously. "Not to be rude or anything but.. Do you think you could take us home now? I mean.. we have been here way passed when we told our folks we'd be home!"
Kagome gasped. "Oh crap! I'm sorry guys! We'll take you home right away!" Kagome made a quick movement to stand but was held fast by a pair of arms locked around her waist.
"And where do you think you're going wench?"
Kagome frown. "One of us has to take them home Inu yasha. And I-"
"And you assumed it'd be you?" Inu yasha let out a loud 'keh' before standing with Kagome in his arms and walking over to a bed of straw nestled in the hut's far corner. He placed his mate down gently and kneeled next to her. "You stay here and rest while I take them home ok?"
Kagome again opened her mouth to protest her 'foul' treatment but again was silenced by her mate's stern growl. Kagome folded her arms, "Fine! But when you get back we're going to have a *long* talk!"
"Fine." Inu yasha stood, smirking trimuphantly at his mate before turning to the small group of humans that had gathered by the door to wait for him. "Are you all ready?"
The group nodded as Inu yasha moved towards the door. "Then why are you still standing there?! I haven't got all day!!"
With that the group hurried out the door, Inu yasha on their heels. The hanyou took one last look at his mate before smiling and following Kagome's friends out the door.
Kagome waited for a few minutes before getting up and peaking out the door to see where her mate was currently. Sango looked at her friend with a confused expression as she suddenly turned back and sat down to put on her shoes. "Kagome-chan? Where are you going?"
Kagome stood and tapped her toes more comfortably into her shoes. "Just a small walk around the village! I know if I don't take it now I won't get to later!"
Sango looked even more confused by her friend's unusal statement but brushed it off. "Umm, Ok? What shall I tell Inu yasha when he returns?"
Kagome waved away her friend's question with a smile. "Oh I'll be back long before that!! Don't worry about it!"
With that Sango watched as her friend bounced happily out the door in the fresh afternoon air and let herself go to her own wondering thoughts.
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha pushed back the door leather and entered the small hut about 30 minutes, his eyes immedately drifting to the spot where he had left his mate only to find her gone. His eyes drift the entire area of the hut to find that she was actually no where in the small building. "Kagome?" he called lightly sniffing the air.
Miroku didn't even look up from his resting position against the back all as he spoke. "She went for a walk just after you left."
Inu yasha growled, "What?! Where did she go!?"
"Calm down Inu yasha." Sango stirred some stew that was now boiling over the open fire pit. "She said she'd be around the village and no farther."
Inu yasha growled again before turning on his heels and darting back out the door. When he found his mate there was going to be hell to pay, he thought as he began following her still fresh scent down the main road of the small village.
He leapt from one house to another until he ran out of houses at the end of the village. Another, more menising growl escaped his lips and his eyes widened in a kind of shock as his sensitive nose picked up on a new smell mingling with Kagome's.
Grave soul and ashes.
Inu yasha's amber eyes scanned the forest against the horizon and it didn't take him long to find the creatures that he searched for. The soul catches sat in plan sight, obviously waiting for him. His clawed hand flex and his knuckles cracked as the dead priestess' words came back to haunt him.
~~ "Protect her well... Because the moment that your guard is down.. I *will* take her from you.." ~~
Inu yasha sprang from his pearch on the finally house and took off full speed towards his waiting guides. He was going to make that woman sorry she had take his mate. Gods help her if she hurt her...
@>~~~^~~~~
A/N: Hey minna-san! I just wanted to kind of appoligize for Inu yasha's extreme OOC moment ^^;; But hey to tell you the truth I don't really think it was all that OOC... I mean think about it.. He has the woman of his dreams, he's gonna be a dad, life seems perfect and nothing can bother him.. I think that's enough to break our up tight little hanyou, ne?
Anywho! For those of you out there going "Oh Gods Why!!?!" I'd just like to say.. Gomen but.. It's my story!! ::evil laughter::
Anywho! Ja ne!
