I'm Falling…Off The Front Porch

 

The next morning, Kagome woke up feeling nauseous again. Slowly, she edged herself up on one arm while the other clutched her stomach. The queasiness was making her head spin, and she looked down at InuYasha sleeping next to her, fearful she might let loose on him. Luckily, he woke up, and immediately saw how green she was becoming.

 

“Come on, girl,” he said and jumped up, then carefully picked her up.

 

InuYasha carried her quickly outside and Kagome vomited over the side of Masahiro's porch.

 

“Are you okay now?” said InuYasha, rubbing her back and looking concerned.

 

“Yeah,” Kagome gasped, “but I could really use some water, and my toothbrush and toothpaste.”

 

“Will you be okay here if I go get them for you?” said InuYasha, lowering her carefully to a sitting position on the floor of the porch.

 

“I'll be fine, feeling better all ready,” said Kagome, and smiled at him reassuringly, as her color came back to normal.

 

“Okay,” said InuYasha and opened the door to the house, almost running into Miroku and Sango.

 

“Hey monk, watch it!” said InuYasha in consternation.

 

“I should say the same to you,” said Miroku.

 

“InuYasha…” said Kagome wearily.

 

“Right! I'll be right back,” growled InuYasha, and pushed past the monk and the demon slayer to get to Kagome's backpack

 

Moving quickly out of InuYasha's way, Miroku and Sango walked out on to the porch, concerned about how Kagome was doing. Sango came and knelt by Kagome's side.

 

“How are you feeling?” asked Sango, her brows pinched with concern.

 

“Just morning sickness,” sighed Kagome. “Comes with the territory, I guess.”

 

Just then, InuYasha appeared with a canteen and Kagome's toothbrush and toothpaste. Standing over on Kagome's other side by the edge of the porch, he handed them to her and she took them gratefully.

 

“So, sleep well, you two?” said InuYasha to Miroku and Sango, a wicked grin in his face.

 

Sango started to blush and Miroku rolled his eyes. Quickly, Kagome looked up at InuYasha and then over at her two friends. It didn't take much more for her to figure out what was going on. When Miroku and Sango did not respond, InuYasha continued.

 

“I know I would if I was you,” said InuYasha. “Nothing like…ahhhh.”

 

Her eyes closed in concentration, Kagome was going to stop InuYasha from saying anything else. The hanyou's eyes went round and he began to pant, staring at Kagome but unable to say a word.

 

“And how is everyone this morning?” said Masahiro, stepping out of the house and onto the porch.

 

“AHHHHHHH!” screamed InuYasha as he came, and fell backwards, his arms flailing, over the side of the porch and hit the ground with a loud thud.

 

“That good, hmmm?” said Masahiro sarcastically.

 

Kagome, Sango, and Miroku started to laugh hysterically at the look on the old monk's face. Masahiro closed his eyes and shook his head sadly.

 

“Not funny,” InuYasha moaned. “And not fair, Kagome! I thought we were even.”

 

“You asked for it,” said Kagome, leaning over the edge of the porch and grinning at him. “You can't talk to Miroku and Sango that way, even if you were just having fun.”

 

“Children, are you finished?” said Masahiro. “It's time to prepare breakfast, and then I must instruct the young miko on how to shield her baby.”

 

“Our baby, mine and Kagome's,” growled InuYasha, rising off the ground, “and don't you forget it.”

 

“And how could I very well do that?” said Masahiro wearily.

 

During breakfast, InuYasha behaved himself. Unfortunately for Kagome, after a few bites of food, she went running to vomit over the side of the porch again. But she wanted to eat so the baby would get what it needed and managed to finish her breakfast and keep the rest of it down.

 

They cleaned up after the meal, and Masahiro turned to talk to InuYasha, Miroku and Sango before starting to work with Kagome.

 

“Have you re-thought what I told you about InuYasha explaining Tantric sex to you and Miroku?” said Masahiro to Sango.

 

“Well, I guess it will be all right,” said Sango.

 

“I have hear this to believe it,” said Miroku, laughing.

 

“What?” said InuYasha, peeved. “You think I can't do it, monk?”

 

Miroku shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and smirked, his eyes twinkling.

 

“All right InuYasha,” said Miroku. “Let's the three of us go to the platform in back to let Masahiro and Kagome concentrate - and you can tell Sango and me all about how you do Tantric sex.”

 

Frankly, InuYasha didn't know if he liked what he was getting himself into. But there was no way he was going to let Miroku believe he couldn't do it. There was nothing he couldn't do, if he really tried. And this was no exception.

 

“Let's go then!” growled InuYasha, and jumped off the porch heading for the back yard.

 

Before she followed him, Sango glanced at Miroku with a look rueful and uncertain look. Miroku smiled at her, and touched her back reassuringly.

 

“Can't hurt to indulge him,” said Miroku, “and it will keep the hovering hanyou out of Kagome and Masahiro's hair, so they can work.”

 

Well, that did make sense, and Sango smiled back at him as they made their way after InuYasha.

 

“Now, Kagome,” said Masahiro, taking the lotus position on the floor of the porch. “Sit here in front of me and let's do some deep meditation.”

 

Kagome assumed the lotus position across from Masahiro, took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Using pranayama, she soon was in deep meditation. Masahiro watched her in approval.

 

“When you feel yourself perfectly centered, I want you to feel for the life growing inside you,” said Masahiro.

 

Her brows twitched a moment as Kagome concentrated on her body. The blood rushing through her veins and arteries, the movement of her digestive track, and her breathing were identified, and she felt further within herself until she identified the flicker of life that was the baby. A warm and relaxed feeling came over her, extending to her countenance, and was noticed by Masahiro.

 

“I want you to visualize a barrier encircling your baby,” said Masahiro, “just as you do when you put up a barrier around InuYasha. You must concentrate on keeping the baby completely encircled by it, until you can do it without hardly concentrating at all.”

 

Picturing how it felt to put the barrier around InuYasha, Kagome concentrated on making it small and pulling it inside her. To her surprise and gratitude, she felt a new warmth inside herself around that little flicker of life. Concentrating harder, she visualized it as an impenetrable shell, protecting her unborn child.

 

“Kagome, can you open your eyes and still feel the barrier inside you?” said Masahiro.

 

Slowly, Kagome opened her eyes, trying to still feel the barrier around the baby. It was harder with her eyes open, and it felt like it was fading. She frowned and made a disgusted sound. This had to work! She would just have to try harder.

 

“Just continue to practice,” said Masahiro calmly. “There is no rush to resume the Tantric sex training until you are comfortable with this.”

 

In the backyard, InuYasha sat on the platform, his arms crossed, regarding Miroku and Sango warily. The monk and demon slayer sat across from him, looking at him expectantly. No one had said anything for several minutes.

 

“So…” drawled Miroku, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

 

“Just give me another minute!” snapped InuYasha irritably.

 

When Miroku and Sango exchanged knowing glances, this just made InuYasha more uncomfortable.

 

“Why don't you just describe how the experience was for you?” said Miroku encouragingly.

 

“It was damn hard, that's what it was,” said InuYasha. “Expecting me to make love to Kagome and hold back - not pound the hell out of her. No one thought I would do it, but I finally did - and then you two showed up.”

 

“So how did you do it?” asked Miroku.

 

“Meditation and visualization,” said InuYasha and then grinned. “But that also had some unexpected results.”

 

Pregnant or not, he would get Kagome back. `An orgasm done through visualization wouldn't hurt the baby.' InuYasha thought.

 

In a moment, they realized Masahiro was coming to see them. They turned to him as he climbed up on the platform.

 

“Are things going well?” said Masahiro.

 

“Fine,” InuYasha grated.

 

“Good, because the next step will be for you and Kagome to give Miroku and Sango a demonstration,” said Masahiro.

 

InuYasha gaped and paled, and as Miroku and Sango started to laugh, he blushed. Doing it for strangers was one thing, but doing it for his friends…? Just when InuYasha thought he had this Tantric sex thing beat, he now had to be observed by his friends - bad enough they would eventually do it as a group. But to be actually watched by them first…He hated performing for others, and it was even more embarrassing when it was his friends.

 

“Gods, that's just great…” groaned InuYasha, putting his head in his hands.
