InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome and The Silver Hanyou ❯ Chapter 19

The rest of Kagome's 5 month period had passed. The long expected moment was closing in, but, as much as Inuyasha wanted to see his child, he had to be patient, and, looking at Kagome's belly, it won't last long.

A beautiful day begun. The sun just raised, and his warm rays started to vaporize the last traces of dew from the night before that persisted on the green grass. It was a pretty warm morning for an April day. Kagome got out of the house to be witness of a new day in life. She breathes the clean morning air.

-“What a beautiful day!” she smiled.

She than felt arms around her waist and s slight growl in her ear.

-“Not as beautiful as you, my dear.”

Kagome smiled and turned her gaze to Inuyasha. His eyes were shimmering in the sun's rays. With a cute voice, she said:

-“Ohayo, Aino-chan.”

Inuyasha smiled and leaned for a “good morning” kiss.

-“Ohayo, my dear.”

Kagome smiled and watched over the sea. she put her hands around her belly and smiled wide. Inuyasha watched her puzzled.

-“What is it?”

Kagome watched him with a radiant smile.

-“I feel that something important will happen.”

Inuyasha put his hands on hers, soothing her.

-“Don't worry, Kagome. If it will be time to come to this world, we will be prepared to meet him with all he needs.”

Kagome smiled and touched his face. She always wanted to be this way, to be with Inuyasha.

Evening came without any major events. Inuyasha was at a meeting with the crew, preparing for the journey after the baby's born. Kagome was home alone, waiting for him. She had a feeling. One that said that it won't last long. It scared her a little because Inuyasha wasn't with her, but she calmed herself knowing that Inuyasha would react if it will be time. And he was calm. For now. She watched out the window and saw how the moon was shining over the “Night's Aura” flowers, his mother's favorites. She remembered that night when he brought her to his mother's grave:

-“We're here,” Inuyasha said letting her go.

Kagome opened her eyes and remain speechless. In front of her was a field with purple flowers that shined in the moonlight. Kagome took a flower and inhaled the sweet smell. A smile appeared on her face. Inuyasha just watched her smiling. After a moment she asked:

-“What is this place?”

-“This is my mother's garden. She always loved these flowers. They're called “Night's aura”, on how my mother named them,” Inuyasha responded with a little pain in his voice.

Kagome dared:

-“You've loved your mother a lot, isn't it?

Inuyasha sighed.

-“Who doesn't love his mother? Every evening I come and visit and talk to her,” he said as he took a flower. He got up and headed to a specific direction. He stopped in front that was a grave. Inuyasha kneeled in front of it.

-“Hello, mother. I've come to see you again,” he talked with his voice higher than a whisper. Kagome watched him and realized how much he loved her. She felt extra, she wanted to leave him alone, but when she wanted to leave he took her hand and pulled her beside him. He really needed someone in that moment. She could see the sadness in his eyes. She almost cried, tears forming in her eyes when he told his mother about her. After a few moments of silence, they got up and left. Kagome asked:

-“Why did you brought me here? You said it was a secret place.”

Inuyasha responded:

-“I've brought you here because I trust you. You have always been with me in the last days and I feel that with you I'm in heaven. Your presence soothes me, Kagome. You mean a lot to me.”

Kagome blushed at the memory. He surely loved her. The braid on her neck proofs it. She was lucky that she met him, that he kidnapped her. Maybe at the beginning she hated him, but, as time passed, everything turned out in a beautiful love story. She should thank his mother for that, maybe because it was for her that she could be with Inuyasha now. She went out the door.

After an hour, Inuyasha came back.

-“Kagome, I'm back!” he said, but no one answered. It seemed quite weird because Kagome never left without telling him. Then it came to mind.

-“Maybe she's with Sango. She always goes to her without telling me, just to get on my nerves.” He watched out the window. “It's late. She must be resting now. I'll go and get her.”

We left and went straight to Sango's house. It was quite weird because all the lights were out, but he started to knock at the door.

-“Miroku…*giggle*”

Inuyasha knocked again.

-“…Miroku…there's someone at the door. I have to open.”

-“Aww, do you have too? Let him knock as long as he likes, maybe he will leave in the end.”

But the knocks began to be more powerful, not stopping. Inuyasha started to loose his temper.

-“I know you're home, Sango! I sense your presence!”

Sango sighed.

-“It's the Captain! What's with him at this hour?”

Sango put on her a kimono, leaving Miroku to cry for himself. She went downstairs and opened the door, pretending that she was sleepy.

-“Captain…what you want at this time?”

Inuyasha didn't catch her theatre.

-“Sorry, you wee sleeping?”

Sango tried not to giggle at the fact that her plan worked, but nodded. Worry came on Inuyasha's face. Sango observed that.

-“What is it, Captain? Why are you so worried so suddenly? Is something wrong with Kagome-chan?”

-“Kagome isn't at home! When I returned from the meeting, she wasn't there. I thought that she was at your place. And kidnapping is out of talk because no one dares to get close to my house.”

-“But where could she be?”

-“I don't know but I will go in search of her.”

-“Wait, I'll come too!”

Sango climbed the stairs and took her clothes.

-“Where are you going?” a disappointed Miroku said.

-“Kagome-chan is gone! The Captain is downstairs and I will help him find her.”

-“Then I will also come!” said Miroku as he puts his cloths on and goes downstairs with Sango. Inuyasha remained a little puzzled at first, staying with a cocked eyebrow, but then he smiled slyly.

-“Don't say a word!” Miroku said irritated. Inuyasha just laughed.

Meanwhile, Kagome was in Inuyasha's mother's garden. She came to thank her for being with him and for having a baby with him. She closed her eyes and started to pray for her soul. When she finished what she had to do, she decided that she should return. She thought that he could be worried. She turned around, but she bumped into someone. She raised her head and she froze when her chocolate eyes met a pair of ice-blue eyes without pupils.

-“Hello, beautiful,” she heard him say.

Kagome watched him closely. He was dressed in volant pirate clothes, exactly like Inuyashas', but she observed that black hair in a tail, elf-like ears, fangs and…a tail?

-“Hello, I am Kouga, M'lady. What is your name, if you don't mind?”

Kagome smiled and made a curtsey.

-“Kagome is my name, dear Sir.”

She watched him and saw that his nose was twitching, smelling her. Kagome began to shiver, knowing that he was a youkai and he could smell the baby and the fact that she was Inuyashas'.

-`Dammit!' Kouga thought. `She belongs to that half-breed! And she has a baby with him!'

Kouga was on the verge of bursting. He had in front of him the most beautiful lady that he had seen in all his years on the seas. He knew that she was perfect to be his mate and queen. And when Kouga says something, that something is like achieved!

-“Ano…now I must leave. It's getting late,” said Kagome trying to leave, but she felt her arm being grabbed.

-“I'm sorry, M'lady, but I can't let you do that,” Kouga said smirking. “I will make you my queen.”

Kagome slapped his hand and yelled at him:

-“I don't want to be your queen! My heart is taken and no one will replace my husband and mate!”

She shows her braid and Kouga laughed.

-“Why should I care for that wimpy dog? I will kill him and you will be my wife with free rights. As for the baby…I will think about it. Now, you're coming with me!” said Kouga as he took her in his arms and ran deep into the forest with her.

Inuyasha was running through the forest. He was worried about Kagome. He stopped and smelled the air, trying to catch her scent.

-“Kagome!” he yelled, worry in his voice.

He was worrying about her. About their child. If she's about to give birth?! If she is somewhere alone, in pain and there's no one to help her?! He concentrated on her scent. He caught him! He followed it to the place of his mother's grave.

-“She was here,” he said touching the ground.

Then his nose twitched as he felt the stench of the last person he wanted to meet and whom he hated worse than Sesshoumaru.

-“Kouga, that bastard!”

Kouga was the leader of the Youronzoku Wolf-tribe. They met in the middle of pillage that he interrupted, and when he had stolen a large amount of prey from him. Since then, they hate each other and every time they see each other, they start fighting. Inuyasha knew about Kouga's possessiveness. He boiled knowing that he met Kagome. He was sure that he had kidnapped her.

-“If he does something to her, I will kill him!”

In the other part of the forest, Kouga brought Kagome in what he said it was his base. Kagome looked around but saw nothing. Kouga laughed.

-“You really think that only Silver Hanyou has a camouflaging kekkai?” then he yelled, “Open! It's me, Kouga!”

The kekkai raised and discovered a magnificent and well armed fortress. Kouga entered after the gate rose with a loud noise. Kagome remained speechless. Never did she saw so many ookami in one place. Even the wolves surrounded the place. Everyone got closer.

-“Oi, Kouga! What did you bring now!” one asked.

-“Hey, it's a nice lass,” said another.

Kagome then froze at what she heard:

-“I want her leg!”

-“And I want her ribs!”

Kagome shivered when she saw all the bones that were around.

-“And I want her baby!”

Kagome almost fainted from the fear, but she came to her senses when she heard Kouga say:

-“No one will touch her! She's with me! If someone touches her, that someone is a dead man! Got it?!”

They all backed terrified.

-“Yes, Boss!”

Kouga gave her to two guys.

-“Ginta, Hakkaku, bring her to my home and watch over her. I don't want her to escape until that Silver Hanyou comes to save her.” He closed to her. “And you, Kagome, prepare yourself, because you will be mine soon enough.”

Kagome was brought in Koga's guest room and closed there.

-“Let me go!” she yelled punching the door. “Please let me go!” she said with tears in her eyes as she fell on her knees. `Inuyasha, please come and save me!'

Inuyasha was already on the way. He was getting impatient because he couldn't find her and it had passed 2 hour since she disappeared. He knew about Kougas' base, and the fact that she was on this island, but he never could find it. Now he wished to find it, knowing that Kagome was there. Plus, he wanted to take care of Kouga.

-“Where could she be?! Where?!”

-“Inuyasha, calm yourself!” Miroku said. “If you don't concentrate, we will never find her!”

-“I know this, dammit! I know! But I can't bear the thought that my Kagome is in that wimpy wolfs' hands!”

-“But you did followed her scent, didn't you?”

-“Yes, and it vanishes here! Wait! That means that their base is here!”

Inuyasha draw the Tetsusaiga and hit the kekkai but a powerful force rejected him.

-“Shit!” he got up and tried again, but had the same result. He tried and tried, but it was futile. Suddenly, he heard the voice which he hates the most:

-“Yo, Inu-koro!”

Inuyasha turned growling, venom and danger dripping from his voice:

-“Kouga, you bastard, what did you do with Kagome?!”

-“Well, Inu-koro, since when did you care for someone? Ah! Since she is your mate, isn't it? And since she has your baby?”

-“Give her back you bastard!”

Inuyasha lunged to Kouga with his claws. Kouga, with his speed, managed to dodge the attack and surprised Inuyasha with a hit on the back. Inuyasha raised and attacked again. This time he managed to hit Kouga in his jaw. Kouga went flying backwards and he stopped whipping the blood from his mouth.

-“Inu-koro, you fight better when it comes about that woman. Another reason to make her mine.”

Inuyasha lunged again and the fight continued.

Meanwhile, Ginta, one of Kagomes' supervisors, brought her food. He knew if he doesn't take care of her, Kouga will take care of him and he wouldn't want that to happen. He entered.

-“Kagome-nee-san, I've brought you…”

He froze when he found Kagome on the ground, holding her belly, sweating, her face having a grimace of pain. He came beside her.

-“Kagome-nee-san! What's wrong!”

-“You fool! Can't you see?! I'm giving birth!”

His face turned to worry.

-“Hakkaku!”

The other one came wobbling.

-“What is it?”

-“Kagome-nee-san is giving birth!”

-“WHAT?!”

They gathered around her and started to worry. She didn't know that the pain will come so suddenly, but she thought that it might be because of Inuyashas' youkai blood. Her grimace accentuated when another contraction came over her.

-“What do we do now, Ginta?”

-“How should I know?! I'm not a birth sister!”

Hakkaku holds his head in frustration.

-“Oh! Why didn't Kouga bring one?!” said Hakkaku before he ran out the door, leaving Ginta alone with Kagome.

-“Oi, Hakkaku! Don't leave me alone!”

Hakkaku headed straight to the fortresses' gate. He saw Kouga going out the fortress. He opened the gate and in the same time the kekkai lifted.

-“Oi, Koug…”

He remained speechless. Kouga was fighting with Inuyasha in front of the gate and he could see that it was on life and death. Inuyasha had claw wounds on his arms and Kouga had big claw wounds on his chest. Kouga saw Hakkaku and yelled:

-“Hakkaku, you good for nothing moron! Close the gate!”

Inuyasha profited of Kougas' distraction and hit him right in the jaw. Kouga flied, broke 3 trees and stopped in a rock, unconscious. Hakkaku panicked and rushed to close the gate, but was stopped by Kirara. Hikaru stopped at the sight of the Fire-cat youkai and he fainted when she growled. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango gathered around him and watch him ridiculous. Then Inuyasha took him by the collar and he started to jerk him.

-“Now, you bastard, tell me where Kagome is!”

Hakkaku stammered because he tried to recover from his faint but also from Inuyashas' jerking.

-“Kagome-nee-san…baby…birth…time for…”

Inuyasha stopped, trying to put together what he said, and then it hit him:

-“Kagome is about to give birth!”

They headed to the gate of the fortress but were stopped by a army of ookami. Inuyasha growled from frustration knowing that this will delay him badly. He didn't have time for this! All the youkai and wolfs gathered around them, ready for battle. Inuyasha draw his sword.

-`I've got to finish them fast before it's too late!'

The fight begun.
