Chapter 10: The Ages

 

Sango's jaw dropped. `I'm pregnant...Oh Kami, I always wanted a family but for heaven's sake we've only been mated for one night! There is NO way I'm preg-damn! I forgot that demon's can impregnate their mates with ONE mating...and last night...Oh yeah... definitely possible. Stupid over-potent wolf.'

 

Kagome blinked rapidly. `I'm gonna be a mom. Whoa.' Silently she picked up her tea and took a small sip. `Why does this always seem to happen to me?'

 

Kari and Inuyasha broke out laughing.

 

“Sango relax. I was just kidding.” Kari smoothed. “But you are pregnant Kagome. It's gonna be a boy, too.”

 

“Thank goodness.” Sango sighed in relief.

 

Kagome blinked several times. “Really?”

 

“Yep yes.” Kari answered sincerely. “Just wait a few weeks and Sesshoumaru can confirm it.”

 

Koga looked her up and down. “You don't want children?”

 

“Not right now.” Sango answered. “In a few years maybe.”

 

“Poor Koga, finally old enough to breed and his mate won't let him.” Inuyasha teased.

 

Koga rolled his eyes.

 

“Huh?” Kagome looked at him confused.

 

“Demons don't breed until they're at least a 150 years old.” Sesshoumaru explained.

 

Kagome and Sango's jaws hit the floor.

 

“Koga is 150?” Kagome exclaimed.

“I happen to be a 258, not that it's any of your business.” Koga huffed.

 

“And just so ya know your mate is about 400 years older than Koga.” Inuyasha added with a smirk.

 

“Whoa! Sesshoumaru is SIX HUNDRED years old?!” Kari exclaimed. “That's ANCIENT! No offense, Lord Sesshoumaru.”

 

“None taken.” Sesshoumaru said in a dismissive voice.

 

“So...how old is Inuyasha?” Sango asked slowly.

 

“Yeah, he can't be that much younger, can he?” Kagome pipped in.

 

“Yasha is seventy-two, if you count when he stuck to the tree, but twenty-two if you don't.” Kari explained cheerfully.

 

“Demon don't count “lost years” so technically I'm only considered to be twenty-two.” Inuyasha added.

 

“Whoa, you guys are 636 years apart?! Geez! No wonder you don't get along!” Sango exclaimed.

 

Kagome looked from Sesshoumaru to Inuyasha and back. “Makes you wonder how old InuTashio was.”

 

“He was about 500 years when he had Sesshoumaru...so he'd of been about 1136 when he met Inuyasha's mother so he was roughly 1142 when he died.” Koga said mentally calculating the years.

 

“Wow! Inu Tashio was 1142 when Inuyasha was born!” Kagome exclaimed.

 

“Yeah, and he was only like the most powerful demon ever.” Sango added.

 

“Makes you wonder...”Kari trailed off. “I wonder if Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha will be that powerful when they're 1142...hmmm...” Kari looks at Inuyasha thoughtfully. “Better make him start training soon...”

 

“Hey!” Inuyasha interrupted. “I don't need any damn training.”

 

“But if you don't train how are you supposed to surpass Fluffy?”

 

Sesshoumaru growled at the use of his pet name. Inuyasha gave him a dark look and muttered something about “fluffy mutts sticking their tails in other people's business”. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha glared daggers at each other causing Kari to giggle and making every one else very uneasy.

 

“And...uh...how old are you, Kari?” Kagome prodded curiously.

 

“She's sixteen.” Koga supplied.

 

“WHAT?!?” Kagome and Sango shouted.

 

“Your friends are rather loud.” Kagura said blandly as she seated herself.

 

Miroku took a seat rather than `subduing' her since his friends were being very loud.

 

“Huh?” “What?” “Your alive?” Inuyasha, Sango, and Koga exclaimed.

 

“Hi Kay!” Kari said with a friendly smile.

 

“Morning, Kari.” Kagura replied with a smile.

 

“You two know each other?” Kagome and Sango exclaimed.

 

“Well, of course. I can hear her thoughts and she can catch my voice on the wind.”

 

“We've shared many things.” Kagura said with a shrug.

 

Kagome, Sango, Koga, Sesshoumaru, and Miroku were dumbstruck, Kari and Kagura were about as different as night and day. Inuyasha was the only one who wasn't shocked to some degree.

 

“You seem awfully calm about this, Inuyasha.” Sango said suspiciously.

 

“That's because we communicate.” Inuyasha said stressing the last word earning yet another ear scratch. “You know as in “Communication”, that thing your supposed to do to make the relationship work, but I don't guess you'd know what that is.”

 

“Just what are you implying?!” Sango demanded.

 

“Yeah why are being like that Inuyasha?”

 

“Oh please like you and the Fluffster are any better than those two! Hell, I'm willing to bet that Miroku and Kagura get along better than you and ole Fluffy-kins.” Inuyasha said with a snort.

 

“You're probably right.” Kagura said sipping her tea.

 

“Undoubtably.” Miroku added while pouring syrup on his pancakes.

 

Sesshoumaru gave Inuyasha a look that promised death. Kagome and Sango fumed silently.

 

“You know your turning red Sango, Kagome.” Kari said sweetly.

 

“They're just jealous cause they're not as beautiful as you are.” Inuyasha said cuddling her up against him.

 

“Awe! My Yasha is so sweet!” Kari exclaimed throwing her arms around him and hugging him tight before petting his ears.

 

Kagome, Sango, Koga, and Sesshoumaru glared at them evilly. Miroku and Kagura chuckled at the others, amused by their antics.

 

Kari pulled slightly away for Inuyasha and looked pointedly at Kagome and Sesshoumaru. “Aren't you two supposed to be fawning?”

 

Sango and Koga couldn't help themselves and burst out laughing along with Kari and Inuyasha. Miroku and Kagura were confused at first, but when Sango managed to tell them, between laughs, what exactly was so funny, they too dissolved into laughter. Kagome sat there beet red too furious and embarrassed to do more than blush. Sesshoumaru glared menacingly at them before deciding to ignore them and finish his breakfast when they decided to recount in detail the all the teasing remarks and jokes the couple had missed out on over the last three weeks.

 

“You caught them in the... in the...in the hot...s-spring?!” Kagura coked out between laughs.

 

“You should...have...s-seen Kagome's...Kagome's f-face!” Kari exclaimed laughing.

 

“I n-never t-thought any...one could turn that...red!” Sango gasped out.

 

“Do ya remember the look on Fluffy's...face?” Inuyasha said laughing harder.

 

“P-priceless!” Koga exclaimed laughing at the mental image.

 

Sesshoumaru frowned at their antics. `Pups.' he thought indifferently. Absently he wondered what his father would think if he could see what had become of his sons and see what was going on in his castle. `This Sesshoumaru does not doubt that his sire is laughing heartily at what has become of his sons and his home.' Shaking his head slightly he wondered if his Great and Terrible father really was watching them somehow and laughing at what they had gotten themselves into. `He always did like to have the last laugh.' He thought smiling slightly in amusement.
