Chapter 25

 

Homecoming and Peaceful Days

 

Inu-Yasha, Sango, Miroku and Kirara got back to Kaede's village without any problems. Sango went right to Kagome's side. The young miko had several broken ribs, and Kaede had her on bed rest because it was hard for her to breathe when she was moving about. They were both grateful to see each other alive.

 

Slowly Kagome and Sango healed from their injuries. Miroku eventually left again for short periods of time to find exorcism work in the neighboring villages. Inu-Yasha stayed behind, they decided that someone must always protect Kagome and Sango. Shippou also stayed, he would not be persuaded to leave Kagome alone again, and Inu-Yasha did not force the matter.

 

Time moved on and the seasons changed. Kagome made trips back to her own time to get supplies, go to school and visit her family. Inu-Yasha never had to go and bring her back again, because she was never gone long. To her, her life was with her friends and with Inu-Yasha in the past, and besides her family she did not miss much from her own time anymore (except for maybe a hot bath).

 

Sango's pregnancy went well. After she got over the morning sickness, she experienced no further problems. In fact, she felt and looked wonderful. Her hair was full and glossy, her skin clear and rosy. Miroku was awe struck, and told her that she was even more beautiful than ever.

 

One day whe Sango was close to term, she felt a litle crampy. It also seemed that the baby was being unusually lethargic. He had always been active, thumping her ribs and pressing on her bladder, but she could tell the difference in the amount of movement she was feeling.

 

"Kagome," Sango said as they prepared lunch together, "I think the time is coming."

 

"Right now?" Said Kagome, almost dropping the dish she held.

 

"Soon," said Sango, "I think you should go find Inu-Yasha and tell him to go get Miroku."

 

"All right," said Kagome heading for the door, "just be sure to go tell Kaede, and don't you dare have this baby until I get back!"

 

Kagome ran out of the house and realized she did not know where Inu-Yasha was. She spotted Shippou and ran over to him.

 

"Have you seen Inu-Yasha?" she said breathlessly.

 

"I think he went to the river to have a bath," said Shippou eyeing her curiously,"why are you in such a hurry?"

 

"Inu-Yasha has to go fetch Miroku. Sango says she is going to have the baby soon."

 

"Really? When is she going to have it?"

 

"Shippou, we don't know exactly when, but Sango says it could be any time."

 

Kagome reached out and ruffled Shippou's hair before the kitsune could ask any more questions and dashed off for the forest. Shippou looked after her, his next words dying on his lips. Then he shrugged and decided he would go see how Sango was doing for himself.

 

When Kagome got to the spot where they usually bathed, she did not see Inu-Yasha. Scanning the area frantically, she spotted his clothes hanging from a tree branch. Suddenly she heard a splash and turned only to get drenched by Inu-Yasha as he rose up from under the water.

 

"Ack!" she squawked in surprise, covering her face with her arms.

 

To make matters worse he saw her and leaped out of the water, landing next to her and spraying her further.

 

"Have you come to have a bath with me?" He said with a wicked grin, and raised his dripping hands to her blouse.

 

"Inu-Yasha!" she said angrily pushing his hands away, "No, I did not come to bathe with you! And thanks for getting me all wet!"

 

He folded his arms and waited while she shook off some of the water on her clothes.

 

"I need you to go find Miroku," she finally said,"Sango's having her baby soon."

 

"We know she is having her baby soon." Said Inu-Yasha.

 

"Don't be thick headed," said Kagome in exasperation,"she feels it's going to be at any moment! So get dressed and go get him!"

 

She heaved a huffy sigh, and watched as he languidly strolled over to his clothes. First he tossed his head, droplets of water glinting off his body. Then he took his long hair and twisted it, wringing out the water. Watching him, the anger left her, and she felt a familiar warmth spread up from her intimate area. It dawned on her that he was deliberately taking his time about putting on his clothes and puting on a show for her. This was his way of dealing with her anger. Well, as her eyes lingered on his lean, muscular, sexy body while he surreptiously posed for her, she had to admit it was working. Finally he put on his clothes and was off.

 

A/N: My muse just had to drawn this out.
