If You Only Knew: Chapter 16

Kagome smiled as she woke, her hand grazing her stomach. She didn't need to question, her miko abilities allowed her to sense the difference in her aura. The joy that crept into her heart and poured into her smile brought tears of happiness to her eyes. 'I'm going to be a mother!' Suddenly, she just wanted to jump and shout it to the world. The feeling of Inuyasha's arms tightening around her midsection increased her happiness.

He let out a slight whimper, sniffing the air. "Why are you crying?" He gently turned her body around to face him, concern and worry laced in his eyes. When Kagome only smiled at him, he kissed her tears and then her forehead.

"We're going to have a baby!" She quietly exclaimed.

He didn't have to try to sense it, his keener demon senses picked up on the change in her scent immediately. From her smile and the exubriance of her eyes, nor did he have to ask if that's what she wanted. Inuyasha smirked at her tears, "You silly humans, you cry at everything." Kagome puckered her lip in a fake pout, and he chuckled.

The deep, throaty sound of his voice in laughter made her smile more. This was her love, her Inuyasha, and he would be by her side forever. Her fingers reached his face, lightly touching the lavender stripes that now graced his cheeks, while her gaze never wavered from his still golden eyes. He jumped down suddenly, taking her along, and set her gently on the ground. His haori slipped off her shoulders, and he adjusted it, considering the morning was still chilly. Picking her back up, he pulled her to his chest and ran to a nearby stream. Setting her down a little further from the bank, he walked to the edge of the river. Kagome watched his movements, seemingly more graceful now than ever.

He even stood taller, more regal, as he gazed at his reflection in the water after taking a drink. His claws came up to his face, touching the same stripes she had earlier, and dropping his hands, he studied them as well. His claws were not longer, they didn't look more lethal, just more defined and clean. 'Clean of blood and of innocent lives.' That thought was the most surprising, and the most welcome to the extent he could cry for it. He could feel more, sense more. Any creature within miles was not unknown to him, he knew exactly where they were. His eyes didn't change, and he was thankful for that. He didn't want to look at murderous red eyes the rest of his life. He didn't want to remember what those eyes had seen when he'd transformed into that... that thing. Turning and reaching for Kagome, he hugged her to him.

"Thank you."

"Hai." She smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Now we can have this family with no worries." Inuyasha understood exactly what she was saying, and she was right. Now he felt he could protect what was his, what he cherished, without a second's doubt. She had given him the one thing he wished for, although he never thought he'd have it purely. To be a full youkai, without the bloodlust and with his heart still in tact. He kissed her again, showing her his gratitude, and after a few moments they left to tell their friends of the good news.

Kagome was bursting at the seams as she pulled her bewildered friend towards the hot springs. The moment they had reached the village, she hadn't even given her friends time to ask what was going on before she whisked Sango away.

"Kagome-chan... why don't you just tell me?" The exterminator managed to say as she was dragged along.

"Nope! I need a bath, and trust me, you want to be sitting for this!" Kagome beamed.

Finally, they reached their destination, and Kagome took no time ridding herself of her clothing and sunk into the warm blissful waters. Sango followed soon after, with less vigor but with just as much anticipation.

"Okay, we're here, SPILL."

If Kagome's face could explode with happiness, it would have at that moment. "I'm pregnant!"

Sango stared at her for a moment in disbelief, and then she smiled at her, "How far?"

"Oh, just this morning!"

"This morning? How do you know so quickly?" She looked at the miko, baffled.

"Well, I can sense the change in my aura, and Inuyasha's keener senses could pick up on it just as quickly."

Sango did remember that Inuyasha looked different, almost as if he had started to transform into a full youkai but got stuck midway. "I did notice he looked... different. What happened? Did something attack you guys?"

Kagome smiled, "No, I just granted his wish. I feel really bad that he used the wish on the Shikon no Tama for me." Her eyes faultered, remembering that day.

"But Kagome-chan, he made that wish because he loves you! And I'm sure he doesn't regret it."

"Oh, I know, Sango-chan. But the only reason I wasn't with child earlier than this is because his confidence as a hanyou wasn't enough to give us a family. He was afraid he couldn't give adequate protection. I had faith in him, but that wasn't enough it seemed. I know that Inuyasha is happy most of the time, but I also know the thoughts that haunt him every day. I want him to be content and happy, just as much as I am. And now, I'm going to be a mother..." Kagome smiled, "Err, WE'RE going to be parents, and there's nothing that could make me happier."

Hugging her friend, Sango beamed with her, "I'm happy for both you and Inuyasha."

"Thank you, Sango-chan." Kagome nodded and then her eyes narrowed. "Now, it's your turn... SPILL it!"

The taijiya gasped, quickly averting her gaze to the rippling waters below her chest. "What are you..."

"Uh-uh, you can't lie to me, Sango-chan. I can sense him all over you. Besides," Kagome smirked, pointing towards her friend's collarbone, "those don't just appear by themselves."

The older girl blushed fiercly and tried to cover the light purple mark on her collarbone, albit a little late. 'That's not the only one,' she thought, increasing the heat in her cheeks. With a happy sigh, she relayed her discovery of love, although, not quite as vivid as it played in her own mind.

Not long after Kagome and Inuyasha left, Sango was interrupted from her sewing by a discontent sigh. Miroku sat still in a corner of the hut, looking to be meditating, but the features of his face held saddness. "Houshi-sama?"

When it’s love you give
I’ll be your man of good faith
When it’s love you live
I’ll make a stand I won’t break
I’ll be the rock you can lean on
Be there when you’re old
To have and to hold


Another sigh, then he slowly opened his eyes and gazed at her, the sadness even more evident in his eyes. "Dear Sango, could you please try to call me by my name. Houshi-sama is too formal for..." He stopped and lowered his head a bit, but then suddenly rose and walked swiftly to her, dropping in front of her. Sango gasped in surprise. "Sango... I wait, day after day to show you my love, to make you my wife." When she attempted to turn her gaze in embarrassment of his words, he gripped her chin, gently forcing her to keep eye contact. "Listen to me, Sango. I know your fears, and believe me, I have my own. However, there is nothing in this world that feels so right as when I held you, when we kissed. I've tried to be patient, but it's so hard anymore, especially with the love between our friends. While I'm happy for them, I find myself jealous that I can't love you that openly."

When there’s love inside
I swear I’ll alway’s be strong
And there’s a reason why
I’ll prove to you we belong
I’ll be the wall that protects you
From the wind and the rain
From the hurt and the pain


"I want you to trust me. I want you to open up to me, and I promise I won't disappoint you. I'll be everything you could ever want in a man. I will love you until the day I die. I'm only a man, but I would die for you if it came to that. I would go that far to show you."

Sango didn't know what to say, or what to do, although she was very aware of the guilt washing over her. Why has she put off her feelings? Why can't she just give in to what she knows will only lead to happiness? Why is she letting her fears control her? Her thoughts didn't get much farther, for Miroku caressed her lips with his own, softly but demanding. She whimpered against him as he pulled her into a tight embrace. She couldn't help the trembling, but he only held her tighter, his hands soothing her with circles on her back.

Let’s make it all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all
When there’s someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

She felt her muscles begin to relax and she leaned into him, kissing him in return. Tears threatened to pour from her eyes but she held them back, she needed to be strong. Love was a good thing... but it could be so very dangerous. She whimpered again, but fisted her hands in his robes. Miroku kissed her with a burning passion, coaxing her, his fingers kneading her back. His tongue shyly traced her lips as he begged for that trust. Sango opened her mouth to him, still struggling, but willed herself to continue. He tasted her generously, careful not to be too overpowering, while his hands worked at loosening her resistance. He broke the kiss for air, but moved his lips, barely touching down her chin and throat. His kisses started out soft, but when her whimpers turned to silent intacts of breath, he grew brave. Licking and sucking here and there, he smiled silently at a quiet moan. His hands caressed her all over, but surprisingly, he had yet to touch any area worth being smacked over. Needing to see where she would allow him, he moved a hand to cup her breast, gently stroking it through her hakuta. Sango pushed herself into his touch. His kisses spread down her collarbone and to her barely exposed chest. Her moans and whimpers progressed, so he took it as it was okay and cautiously removed her clothing, all the while watching for any negative reaction. Her cheeks tinted a bit, but she didn't stop him.

When it’s love you make
I’ll be the fire in your night
Then it’s love you take
I will defend I will fight
I’ll be there when you need me
When honor’s at stake
This vow I will make
That it’s all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all
When there’s someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

"My beautiful Sango, my angel, let me show you just how much you mean to me." Miroku lowered her beneath him, placing breathtaking kisses along her face and neck. He trailed his kisses along her collarbone and then down the valley between her breasts, and his hands never stopped the consoling caresses of her skin. Suckling the rosy peaks of her chest, he was pleased when she pushed herself against him, yearning for more. Her own hands had taken to massaging the muscles of his back, mimicking the rhythm of his fingertips, until he reached the sensitive moistness of her womanhood. Rubbing along her inner lips with his fingers, he traced the velvet softness that would come to be his. Dipping a finger inside, he hid the smirk as she bucked against his hand and the moan that escaped her. Gently probing in and out of her, he added another finger, and experimented by flicking the tiny hidden nub of her ecstacy. Her quick gasps and deep moans were music to his ears as he worked her body. His other hand left lingering promises as it roamed freely over her heated body. He could feel her muscles closing around his fingers as he quickened the pace. Reaching up to plant one more powerful kiss on her lips, he glided down between her legs.

Sango fisted her hands in his hair when she felt another finger enter her. The tension between her thighs increased to the point she thought she'd die if she didn't feel some relief. Another moan found its way to her throat, only to come out in a cry of pure bliss when his hot mouth enveloped her. She could feel his tongue tracing along the small mound of nerves, lapping and teasing. There was no controling her hips as she pushed up to meet him. Closing her eyes, she lost herself in the sweet ride, for she felt as if she were flying over a mountain.

Nothing in the world could pleasure him more than the sounds of his love's euphoria when he clamped her clit between his teeth. He felt her walls press against his fingers and her juices flowed over his hand. But even better was hearing his name, HIS NAME, cried out in such a way that there was no doubt in his mind that he had pleased her. Bringing his fingers to his lips, he cleaned them, one at a time, relishing in her taste. She looked up at him with eyes mostly closed, her chest rising and falling with her ragged breaths. In a rush, Miroku wrapped her in his arms and crushed her to him.

"My beautiful Sango." He stroked her hair and kissed her cheeks, her neck, and finally landing on her lips for a chaste kiss. "You see, Sango, love can be such a wonderful thing."

Don’t lay our love to rest
Cause we could stand up to the test
We got everything and more than we had planned
More than the rivers that run inland
We got it all in our hands


She opened her eyes to gaze into his own but not knowing what to say. If she could talk, she wouldn't trust her voice, so instead she laid there in his arms for a few moments. What could she say? He had just shared with her something she'd never even though of experiencing, and while she enjoyed every moment, it didn't relinquish all of the fear in her heart. With a sigh, she tucked her head under his chin. "I don't know..."

Miroku heard her voice her fears and couldn't help the sadness that gripped his heart, but he stopped her before she could get going. "No, Sango, you can't keep running from me, from us, from what I know you feel in your heart. Please, dear Sango, don't let our love slip through your fingers. I would wait the rest of my life, but Kami knows I don't want to. I want to spend my life enjoying these moments with you."

Sango looked up to meet his urgent gaze and saw love radiating in his eyes, but what constricted her heart was the underlying grief at the mere thought of her pushing him away. Then she realized she just couldn't do it to him, not now, not after this. It seemed at that moment if she were to spend one day without him by her side, one night without his arms around her, she too would fall to that grief. With a cry and tears stinging her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder.

"I do, Miroku, I do love you!"

Now it’s all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all
When there’s someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
When there’s someone that you want
When there’s someone that you need
Let’s make it all all for one
And all for love

Miroku grasped her chin in his hand, turning her to once again look at him. "Then, Miss Sango, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" His heart thudded in his ears as he waited for her answer. Thankfully, he didn't have to wait long.

"Yes, Miroku, yes." Sango let the tears of joy, of finally taking the steps to conquer her fears of love and move on to a much happier life. It was well worth it, to see the relief and utter joy wash over her love's face before he kissed her passionately.

"Oh Sango!" Kagome gripped her friend in a fierce hug, "I'm so happy for you!" Sango awkwardly returned the gesture. Pulling away, the biggest grin spread across her face, and the young miko clapped her hands. "And what a gentleman! He's waiting to consummate your joining until your wedding night!" She elbowed the blushing exterminator. "See, he isn't so much a lecher if you think about it, ne?" Her smile quickly turned to a frown. "On second thought..."

Turning to look behind them, Kagome yelled, "If you wish to live to wed, Miroku, I suggest leaving... NOW!"

A very guilty looking monk stepped out of the brush, rubbing the back of his neck and stuttering, "Lady... um... I was merely..." His eyes swirled suddenly as a fist collided with his head, followed by a growl.

"Damn bouzu!" A very angry inu-demon snarled.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome glared at her mate, her look just threatening pain if he didn't take the monk and hightail it out of their.

Silently gulping, he grabbed Miroku by his robe collar. "Don't yell at me, wench! I didn't do anything."

Kagome smirked as she stepped out of the hot spring and slinked her way over to her towels. Swaying her hips and making sure he knew what he'd be missing, she wrapped one around her body before making her way over to him.

'Kami! Why me?' Inuyasha watched every drop of water cascade down her tanned body as she got out of her bath. He could feel his loins tighten with the way she moved towards the towel, her skin reflecting the sun's rays in a way that made her glimmer. Roughly swallowing, his mouth suddenly dry, he prayed the gods not strike him blind this very moment. He didn't even register he was in trouble before she had already prowled up to him, her mouth a mere breath from his own.

"Like what you see?" She purred, her tongue darting out to lick her lips suggestively.

Inuyasha couldn't form words and only nodded dumbly, his hands trembling to drop the dead weight in his hand and wrap around his mate.

"I believe you," Kagome whispered, grabbing his hardened manhood and rubbing it roughly. She was very pleased to hear his gasp of pleasure at her touch. Digging her fingers in just a little, to give him some level of uncomfort, she hissed, "And I believe you've gotten quite the eyeful already, considering you've been here for a good few minutes. Before the monk I might add."

Trying to regain his dignity, he dropped the monk and pulled her roughly against him, his teeth grasping the skin of her neck in a heated kiss within seconds. It was his turn to relish in her surprise. Releasing the bite, he briskly countered, "You are my mate," to accent his point, he nipped her neck again roughly, but not enough to really hurt. "You are carrying my pup," he grazed his claws along her belly, beneath the overlapping edges of the towel, and he smirked at the shiver that coursed through her body. "I will do whatever I deem necessary to watch over both of your well-being." Her hand was still pressed against his dick, which she was unable to move due to the pressure he was exerting between them. "And the next time you grab me, koi," he pushed into her palm, "You will not let go until I say so." He growled, licking her earlobe and brought the hand under her towel down to the heat between her legs. Rubbing her briefly with his fingers, he flicked her clit, earning a short cry to add to his growing ego. With another soft bite, this one to her lower lip, he released her, picked up the still unconscious Miroku, turned and walked away. Her scent was calling for him to take her, but he ignored it and got the hell out of dodge before his own control snapped. She needed to learn what malicious teasing would get her.

Kagome stared after Inuyasha aghast, complete flushed and flustered. 'Did he just? But I...' She was brought out of her stupor by Sango clearing her throat. Turning swiftly, she stared at her friend who looked quite amused. The red wouldn't leave her face, and she dropped it into her hands.

Sango failed at containing her laughter, she couldn't help it. It was the first time she had ever seen KAGOME subdued. "Oh my, Kagome!" She stepped up to the bank and dried off, her enjoyment at the miko's expense descending to giggles. Getting dressed, Sango looked over to see that she was alone. Further up the trail, she saw Kagome slowly tredding back to home. Although she thought the whole thing was quite funny, she felt bad for making Kagome feel even worse. Grabbing the rest of their bathing supplies, she jogged to catch up.

"I'm sorry I laughed, I just couldn't help it." She put a hand on her friend's shoulder.

Kagome glanced over and smiled, though her cheeks were still heated, "Don't worry about it. I've laughed at yours and Miroku's fights. Lovers' quarrels can be quite humorous, huh?" The older girl smiled and nodded, a slight blush now tinged her own face. Hoping to change the subject, she continued with their interrupted discussion. "So, do you know when the wedding will be?"

Sango's lips curved upwards, the smile finally reaching her eyes, "In a month we think. There's really no time to wait, and the preparations shouldn't take long."

"This is going to be so cute! I can't wait! Can I help you with the decorations and kimonos?" Kagome finally started to feel better, putting the previous experience in the back of her mind for the time being.

"Hai, I want you to. As... well, as a good friend and as a sister, I would want nothing more." Sango and Kagome shared a short hug and continued to the village, chatting excitedly about the wedding day.
