InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome and The Silver Hanyou ❯ Chapter 20

Kagome screamed when another contraction came to her. She knew that the moment was approaching and she knew that she couldn't do anything. She wanted to be with Inuyasha. She wanted him to hold her hand when the baby will cry for the first time, and when he'll open his eyes for the first time. Another contraction made her yell. Ginta was beside her, trying to calm her.

-“Calm yourself, Kagome-nee-san! Breathe…”

-“How can I calm myself?!” she yelled at him pulling him from the collar of his blouse. “Can't you see? I'm giving birth here, dammit!” then she realized what she had said. Maybe the time spent aside Inuyasha affected her more than she thought.

-“Okay, okay! Ummm…let's think of a flower field and a clear river…”

Kagome yelled again, hitted by another contraction.

Meanwhile, in the court, Inuyasha was continuing the fight. He fought with all his might, but it seemed that the more he beat, the more they came. He thought to use the Wind Scar but he thought that Kagome could be in any of the surrounding houses. Then, he herds her yell.

-“Kagome!” he yelled. He was happy that he found her, but he was also worried that her time had come. He ran to Kougas' house, eliminating whomsoever was in his way.

-“Ora, ora ora! Doke, doke, doke!” (Get out of my way!)

-“Let's go!” said Miroku to Sango and followed Inuyasha on the “route” he made.

Inuyasha busted in Kougas' house, destroying the hard ebony door.

-“Kagome!” he yelled.

Kagome herd the voice she wanted to hear for a long time.

-“Inuyasha, I'm here!”

Inuyasha ran and destroyed the door of the room where Kagome was. Ginta jumped horrified when he saw him. He began to shiver as he saw him approaching and begged for mercy.

-“Please have mercy! I didn't do anything!”

-“Kagome!” Inuyasha said coming beside her, punching Ginta out of the way.

-“Inuyasha…you came…” she said before another contraction came over her.

-“Kagome, hang on!” Inuyasha said holding her hand firmly. Kagome calmed a little feeling his touch.

-“It's too late to bring her in the town! She has to give birth here!” said Sango. “You!” she pointed to Ginta. “Bring some hot water!”

-“Hai!” said Ginta and flew out the door.

-“Miroku, go find some clean sheets!”

-“I'll be back in a sec!” he also said and went out the door.

After a few moments, they came with the water and sheets.

Another contraction came upon her, sending pain rippling throughout her body. The contractions were becoming closer and closer together, telling her that the birth was near. She cried out in pain, and fresh tears made their way onto her face. Sango had already prepared her birth canal for the process. She was sitting at the opening of Kagome's legs, which were opened wide for the baby.

-“Alright Kagome, push!”

Kagome did as instructed, weakly at first. She huffed and puffed, her face becoming red.

-“I-I c-cant…”

InuYasha stared into her eyes deeply, and squeezed her hand again.

-“You can.”

Kagome stared at him for a moment, then nodded to herself. She began to push again, this time stronger and more assured.

-„C'mon Kagome-chan! You can do it! I can see the head!” said Sango, helping the baby out.

-“You're almost there Kagome! You're doing great!” InuYasha re-assured. He had a giant smile on his face, illuminating the area, and Kagome's heart. She smiled faintly as she felt the baby leave her body. Then they heard it. That cry with the first breath of air. The hearts of the new born parents skipped a beat.

-“It's a boy!” Sango said.

The tears didn't stop flowing on Kagome's face. The joy in her soul wasn't fitting in the room she was in. even Ginta was crying at this magical moment. Sango bathe the baby, wrapped it in the sheets and hand him to Kagome.

-“This is your baby, Kagome-chan,” said Sango, handing him.

Kagome took the baby after 9 months. Inuyasha couldn't be happier. This was his child. That shall, gentile being that will need all his protection. Inuyasha stared at it, getting a closer look. The baby's eye lids opened slowly, revealing gorgeous amber-colored eyes. It stared up at Inuyasha, then smiled. Inuyasha smiled back, bringing his claw up to the baby's little hand. It wrapped its little finger's around the tip of Inuyasha's, curios at the big man before him. Inuyasha was radiating of joy. But the moment didn't last, because Kouga appeared at the door. He had a bruised eye and wounds all over his body from the hit he received.

-“This isn't over, Inu-koro!”

Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome's face with the sword drawn. He growled:

-“You won't touch her! She's not yours! You won't touch neither of them!”

Kouga turned his gaze to Kagome. She was holding her baby tight. She wouldn't let anyone strange come closer to him. A trace of disappointment came over his face. Now that the child was born and he had seen his parents, nothing will separate Inuyasha from his mate. He knew about the bond that is made when the first child is born and he could sense a powerful protective energy coming from Inuyasha. Kouga knew that Inuyasha would do anything to protect his mate and child. Somehow, a shiver went through him and he could feel how his hair was standing on his back when he saw Inuyasha's eyes. He realized that he didn't have a chance against him. The instinct of protection made Inuyasha superior.

Kouga, with a loss recognition smile, leaved the offense. Inuyasha observed that and remained puzzled. It wasn't like Kouga to accept defeat.

-“What is it, wimpy wolf? Afraid to fight me now?”

Kouga laughed but admitted his defeat.

-“You know that I don't give up easily, but I do realize when I'm in minority. At least for now…”

Inuyasha sheathed Tetsusaiga seeing that Kouga wasn't fighting. But Kouga said:

-“But I don't give up! Kagome, you will be mine, and then…”

Kouga couldn't say anything because Inuyasha took him by the colar of his shirt and hanged him in the air until he couldn't feel the earth beneath his feet. Kagome began to worry.

-“Inuyasha, no!”

Kouga laughed.

-“Why don't you kill me?! Right here and right now!”

Inuyasha smiled.

-“Because I don't want to kill you in front of Kagome and the child,” he said as he winked at Kagome. She looked away smiling and blushing.

Inuyasha took Kouga and tied him. De done the same with some of his crew (the ones that didn't run away) and put them in a boat.

-“What are you going to do, Inu-koro?!”

Inuyasha gave him a smile that could scare away the Devil and said:

-“I will assure myself that you won't disturb us once again:

Then he turned to the fortress and draw Tetsusaiga. Kouga paled, knowing what was going to happen.

-“You…you won't do it, will you?!”

-“Just look. KAZE no KIZU!!!”

Kouga watched horrified as his magnificent fortress was disintegrated by the fire of the Wind Scar. After the dust drove off, nothing remained left. Kouga was almost dead.

-“Keh!” said Inuyasha stealthing his sword. “Suits you right, BAKA!”

Kouga remained with the same horrified face but he returned to his senses and started shouting and cursing. Inuyasha slapped him.

-“Hey, wimpy wolf! Don't use such profanities in the face of a child!”

-“Since when do you f***ing care?”

* smack *

-“What the fu…”

* smack *

Kouga just growled. The others in the boat were shivering of what Kouga received. They knew that Kouga wasn't the one to joke. Inuyasha asked:

-“You finished?”

Kouga just growled. Then, Inuyasha gave the same smile as he pushed the boat in witch Kouga was, letting her drift along the ocean currents. Kouga yelled:

-“What are you doing, Inu-koro?!”

Inuyasha responded:

-“I'm assuring that we won't see each other again, wimpy wolf! Sayonara! And good luck! Send me a letter when you will reach shore, if you will reach!”

Kouga growled loudly and started to curse again. Inuyasha headed his hand to Tetsusaiga, determined to blast him, but Kagome stopped him.

-“Leave the poor creature.”

Kouga was still yelling as Inuyasha took Kagome and the others and went to town.

-“Congratulations, Captain!!!” the crew yelled rising the glasses of champagne. “May long live your son!”

-“To be a strong and courageous man like you!” Kaoru shouted.

-“And to have a golden heart like Kagome-sama!” Hikaru added.

Inuyasha just smiled at all the crew said. Finally he was a father. The day he waited for so long has finally come and he managed to hold the most wonderful being on earth. The warmth he felt when he took his child in his arms was the same he felt when he was with Kagome, but multiplied with 10. But he knew that nobody will replace Kagome and his son. Kagome was feeling the same thing. Seeing him in her arms after 9 months. Seeing those cute ears, those amber eyes. Kagome smiled at his sleeping face. He looked like an angel came from Heaven. Finally, her life was how she wanted to be. She was free to choose Inuyasha. Now she had the fruit of their love in her arms. She started to think through what she went to get here. All the barriers, but also the magical and happy moments. She looked out the window. The sun stetted and the stars begun to appear. She put the baby in the cradle and kissed his forehead.

-“Kagome!” she heard Inuyasha whispering. “You should be in bed, resting. You didn't recover yet.”

Kagome smiled at his worry.

-“I've just put him to sleep.”

Inuyasha came beside her.

-“He's wonderful, isn't it?” he smiled.

-“True. He's the most wonderful being on earth.”

The two watched the baby for a few moments.

-“Inuyasha?”

-“Un?”

-“Will you choose a name for him?”

-“You really want me to choose a name?”

Kagome nodded. Inuyasha thought. Never had he thought that Kagome will choose him to name the child. Never had he thought that, for what he is, he will be loved and will be a father. Only in his most beautiful dreams he thought that he will be with Kagome. Only in his most beautiful dreams he thought that he will be so happy. It was a miracle.”

-“That's it!” he exclaimed.

-“And?”

-“How about Kiseki (miracle)? It's a wonderful name, isn't it?”

Kagome hugged his arm.

-“It's wonderful! It is a miracle that we are together now! It's perfect!”

The two watched each other then they looked out the window at he stars that were shining in the dark. Inuyasha sighed happily as he watched Kagome. Kagome looked at him and jumped.

-“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Inuyasha took her hand to make her look at him.

Inuyasha took her hands to face her to him,

-“I was just thinking about how ironic life is…That life never turns out the way you expect it.”

Kagome gave him a questioning look. She then asked:

-“What do you mean?”

He shrugged, but ran his hand through her hair.

-“I mean like us… I mean…your capture, then I abused you…we were brought together and fell in love…and look at us now…definitely not what I had in mind.

Kagome nodded and said:

-“That is very true…It's like we are different people…with totally new lives. All that was bad, it's in the past now.

Inuyasha nodded.

-“That's right…And my past is gone…but still…”

He looked at her seriously as he gently touched the scars on her cheek where he hurt her when he was in his demon form.

-“The past has left visible wounds… reminding me...”

Kagome placed her hand on his face, gently caressing it.

-“But that's all they are, scars…Our past will always be and always haunt us…but it's just a memory. Our life has a clean slate…we have a chance to start over.”

Inuyasha looked at her with gentle, but shocked eyes,

-“Kagome…”

Then Kagome looked up to the stars,

-“Plus, I doubt any of this was an accident…”

Inuyasha looked up to the stars and said,

-“Oh…”

They faced each other, Inuyasha then saying,

-“This is only the beginning, ne? We have a whole lifetime now.”

Kagome smiled.

-“Hai… And there's no one else I want to spend it with…”

He gently smiled at her and held her to him,

-“Hai…”

Then he leaned and kissed her passionately, ready to embark on this new journey of life that will start soon.
