InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Wolf and The Dog ❯ Chapter 15: A Womanly Solution To A Manly Problem ( Chapter 15 )

Chapter 15: A Womanly Solution To A Manly Problem

 

Kagome had already returned to the caves with Ginta and was currently waiting with Sango and Miroku at the entrance of the cave. Everyone was worried, but Yuuka seemed to be in the worst condition. She hadn't moved one step away from the entrance since Inuyasha left (even Yamato and Kaede's pleading had no effect on her) and nearly attacked Kagome and Ginta when they got back, hammering them with questions. Upon learning from them that Kouga had went in search for Inuyasha she had calmed down a bit, not enough... Currently she was pacing back and forth near the entrance murmuring to herself “it's all my fault, it's all my fault” completely oblivious to the concerned glances the others gave her as she craned her neck several times trying to see a sign of the wolf and the dog. (A/N: Yay! I used the title of the story)

 

“I hope he's all right…” Kagome sighed.

 

“Don't worry Kagome, he will be all right, Kouga's gone to find him, they will be back soon.” Sango put her arms around Kagome in an assuring manner.

 

“Yeah… Inuyasha's a tough dog, nothing's gonna happen to him, I'm sure about it.” Miroku assured with a small reassuring smile on his face.

 

Kaede who had been with them had returned to her chamber a few minutes ago telling Kagome to inform her when they got back. After a moment they had sent Kirara to carry the kitsune pup, who had been sitting with them and had finally fallen asleep in Kagome's lap, to their chamber.

 

Suddenly Yuuka squealed making the group jump. “They're back, they're back.” Everyone scrabbled outside immediately to see Kouga running up to them with an unconscious Inuyasha in his arms. Yuuka ran to them first followed by the group.

 

“Kouga… what happened? Is he all right?” Yuuka asked worriedly as she ran her hand over the inu's head.

 

“I'll explain later… he needs help… he's in labor.”

 

Yuuka immediately went to her SUPER MOM MODE shouting orders at everyone.

 

“Get him inside quickly, Kagome go get Kaede FAST, tell her to meet me at the Akaho's (A/N: if you remember she's the pack healer) chamber, you girl,” she pointed to Sango, “run and inform Akaho to prepare the room for delivery and you houshi help Kouga carry Inuyasha to the healer, hurry up!”

 

“Hai.” Everyone said in unison before Kagome and Sango ran off and Miroku and Kouga carried the limp form of the hanyou to the healer's chamber.

By the time Kouga, Miroku and Yuuka reached the healer's chamber; she had already prepared the room to receive the hanyou. A white sheet was spread on a bed with a small pillow on the top. A small table lay by the bed with sterilized blades and needles of various sizes lying on a piece of leather. A few extra sheets were placed beside the leather piece. Kaede was standing nearby the bed talking silently to Akaho. How she got there so quickly was still a mystery. She raised her head to look as Kouga and Miroku entered the room carrying Inuyasha.

 

“Put him down on the bed and undress him.” She ordered before she ordered the two girls (Kagome and Sango) standing in a corner to get some towels and boiled water.

 

They laid the limp form slowly and carefully on the bed. Miroku held Inuyasha up and Kouga quickly removed his haori and hakama. He picked one of the clean sheets from the stand and covered his mate's naked form before the girls re-entered with towels and water. Kaede ordered them to put the thing beside small table and moved towards Inuyasha followed by Akaho. Kouga moved aside to let the priestess and the healer to check on the inu. Kaede took his wrist to check his pulse while Akaho pried his eyes open one by one and `hmmm'ed. They both looked at each other frowning as they continued with their check-up.

 

Kouga glanced from Akaho's face to Kaede as they frowned.

 

“Akaho? Lady Kaede? What is it? What's wrong with Inuyasha?”

 

Kaede frowned once more as she turned to face the worried wolf prince. “I'm afraid we cannot cut him open to retrieve the pups.”

 

“WHAT??!!” Kouga stared bewildered at the priestess.

 

“He's too weak and the blood loss will surely kill him.” Kaede finished. Kagome and Sango glanced at each other.

 

“Isn't there anything you can do Kaede, any medicine or anything?” Kagome asked.

 

“Ne child, anything we use will only worsen his condition now…”

 

“If only Lord Inuyasha was a women, then we would had have normal birth but….” Akaho added thoughtfully. Kouga was about to say something when a pained groan turned his attention to the inu lying on the table.

 

“Inuyasha??”

 

“AAHHHHH!!!” Inuyasha suddenly cried out holding his stomach tightly trying to curl into a ball. Kouga immediately caught the hanyou before he rolled down the bed. “Kouga…onegai… make it stop….please.” Inuyasha panted heavily tears forming in eyes and gritted his teeth as pain wrecked his body making him arch and keen in Kouga's arms. “Please stop it… I can't take it anymore! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!” He shouted.

 

Kagome gasped.

 

“SHIT! Do something woman!” Kouga shouted unable to see his puppy in so much pain. “Do something or I'll hurt someone, I swear.”

 

“Don't you understand if we even try we'll only manage to kill him. Is that what you want lord Kouga?” Akaho shouted.

 

“If you don't he'll die as well.” Kouga growled dangerously holding the trembling body of his mate close.

 

“Inuyasha please… please hold on… please.” Kagome sobbed, Sango pulled her into a comforting hug.

 

“Sango, my child.”

 

“Yes Kaede.”

 

“Take Kagome back to the guest room and check on Shippo please.”

 

“Hai” Sango nodded understanding and led the sobbing girl out toward the living quarters.

 

Kouga finally snapped as Inuyasha cried out again. He moved to take a blade in his hand “I can't let him die like this. If you can't do this then I will do it.”

 

“NE CHILD!!! STOP IT!!!” Kaede pleaded. “Please Lord Kouga.”

 

“Leave all of you just LEAVE!” Kouga shouted enraged. Miroku moved to stop the mad wolf before he caused any harm. “LEAVE OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL.”

 

At that moment Inuyasha's body suddenly began to pulsate causing everyone to stop their actions and stare at the hanyou in amazement.

 

"Oh no... Tonight's the night of the New Moon!" Yuuka who had been standing silently in a corner gasped.

 

Kouga dropped the blade immediately to the ground and rushed to Inuyasha's side but a bright blue light engulfed Inuyasha's body making everyone to shield their eyes.

 

“INUYASHA???!!!!”

 

The light slowly died and what they saw made them freeze in their places, with their eyes round as saucers as their mouth hung open.

 

Inuyasha had turned human all right… but instead of a dark haired male a dark haired full-breasted female lay before them. Everyone gawked at the hanyou who was now panting heavily with his eyes closed.

 

Kouga was the first to recover from the shock. He moved quickly to pull the cover over his mate, which had fallen off during Inuyasha's struggle. Inuyasha was in too pain to register what has happened to him but when Kouga pulled the covers over him he opened his eyes and stared down at the two bulges on his chest. He moved his hand to his hands to his breasts and then his groin and gasped before turning completely red even in throws of his pain.

 

“EH?!” Inuyasha looked at Kouga questioningly who gave him totally clueless and bewildered look in return.

 

“I do not understand how this happened, perhaps it was the pups' power. No matter what the reason is, it looks like Inuyasha will be able give birth normally.” Kaede gave a slight smile.

 

Kouga looked relieved in spite his shock.

 

Kaede turned and started giving orders again. “Akaho, can ye get me a bowl of cold water and a piece of cloth and also those medicinal herbs and powered medicines I gave you earlier?”

 

“Hai lady Kaede.” The young she-wolf left to the back of the room where all the medicines were kept.

 

“Lady Yuuka will ye please pour the boiled water into those two tubs and bring them here. Use the powder Akaho gives ye to sterilize them.”

 

“Hai.” Yuuka almost hopped to do her job.

 

Then she turned to the monk who had not quite recovered from the shock and was still staring wide eyed at the inu almost… em … drooling at the sight. (A/n: one sick pervert he is.)

 

“Miroku? MIROKU??”

 

“Ha…Hai.” Mirouku stuttered coming out of his trance.

 

“This is no place for men so OUT!!”

 

“But I wanna help too and besides Kouga's a male too and you didn't ask him to leave.” He whined, his eyes still on the female hanyou.

 

“Kouga is Inuyasha's mate therefore has the right to stay and if ye really want to help then go out and make sure no one enters this room till I call ye. NOW OUT!!!”

 

Miroku was about to protest but the glares from the room's occupants made him swallow his words and he quickly left the room closing the door tightly behind him.

 

Kaede moved to where Inuyasha lay and moved the sheets covering the hanyou's nether regions up his waist and spread his legs bending them up to check on him..er…her.

 

She looked up at Inuyasha after a while. “All right dear, I will need ye to push with all yer strength when I tell ye to, understand?”

 

Inuyasha nodded silently still red in the face. Kouga moved to lick his puppy's face lovingly as he gave a slight squeeze to the inu's delicate hand. “Do not worry I'll be here with you all the while. Everything will be all right, love”

 

Inuyasha gave him a small smile.

 

Akaho brought near the bowl of water and the cloth and placed it beside the table. Kouga dipped the cloth in water and wiped the hanyou's face whispering comforting and encouraging words in his human ears.

 

After a while Kaede checked him again. “Hmmmm… it will do, Inuyasha dear I need you to push now.”

 

Inuyasha took a deep breath, squeezed with all his might gritting his teeth.

 

“Again.”

 

He exhaled and sucked in more air with his mouth and repeated his actions.

 

After doing it several times, Akaho said. “I can see its head, the pup is coming. Again PUSH.”

 

“Ughhhn!” He gave one last push and a loud cry shattered the silent room. “It's a boy!”

 

Yuuka quickly moved to take the pup from Kaede's hands as she severed the cord carrying it to one of the tubs to clean it thoroughly.

 

Inuyasha groaned again.

 

“Inuyasha… I know this hurts but I need ye to push again.”

 

“I… c..can't… I can't.” Inuyasha moaned his hair matted to his head with sweat.

 

Kouga dabbed the damp cloth against his brow “You can mate, I know you can, NOW PUSH!”

 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

 

Miroku was currently standing outside pressing his ear against the door.

 

“Do you hear something?” Sango asked impatiently. She and Kagome had come there once Kagome calmed down and they had made sure that Shippo was fast asleep in their room and Kirara was with him. Upon reaching the room they found the monk sitting outside the room sighing, with his back against the door. He told them what had happened in there and about Kaede`s orders. They were surprised to hear about Inuyasha's transformation but didn't dare to rush into the room. It been an hour and the group was getting restless.

 

“I'm trying… I'm trying.” Miroku pouted.

 

“Oh move, you're of no use.” Sango pushed him a little to place her ear to the door. “Dammit this stone door is so thick… I can't hear a thing.”

 

“And you were blaming me, huh!”

 

“Hey you guys… let me in too.” Kagome squeezed between them as she too tried to listen to what was going on inside.

 

At that moment the door opened suddenly and they fell inside the room with a great thud. The three glanced to the amused face of Akaho. “Lady Kaede said you could see them now.” She said trying very hard to hold back her laughter. They scrambled to get up. Suddenly a small cry made them look past the pack healer at the couple. Kagome and Sango's jaws open at the extremely beautiful female leaning against the wolf prince as they cradled two white bundles in their arms. Miroku brushed past making them come out of their `staring session' and they slowly followed the monk to the couple.

 

“We have a son.” Inuyasha smiled. He looked tired but extremely happy as his brown eyes shined with a light that could be seen in the eyes of a proud parent. “And a beautiful daughter.” Kouga added smiling proudly. They pulled the cover to reveal two cute pups, who whined and whimpered from the lack of warmth.

 

The boy had long silvery white hair as his `mother' and striking blue eyes and pointed wolf ears like his father. A violet crescent moon adorned his forehead. He even had a small tail white bushy tail, which was wagging happily as Inuyasha licked his face. “Mm…mm.”

 

The girl had midnight black hair, which fell across her shoulders, large golden eyes, a purple streak on either side of her cheeks and two cute and floppy puppy ears that twitched trying to catch the new sounds around her. She too had brown bushy tail and squeaked and giggled moving her hands in the air when Kagome wiggled her fingers at her.

 

Kouga licked the girls face and then kissed her forehead before covering her up. Inuyasha did the same with the boy before he yawned wide.

 

“So what are you going to name them?” Kagome asked as she picked up the boy from Inuyasha's arms and cooed and played with the small pup's tiny hand making him giggle and wag his tail.

 

“Let's see, Inuyasha suggested a name for the boy. We are going to call him Ryu, and the girl's name…umm… Hikari?”

 

“Ryu and Hikari, they are really beautiful Kouga.” Sango smiled.

 

“They take after their beautiful `mother' after all.” That earned him a slap on the head. “OW!”

 

“Keh! I'm going back to normal tomorrow wolf boy so suck it up.” Kouga snickered. Inuyasha yawned again and his eyes drooping slowly, exhausted from the energy it took him to give birth.

 

“Lord Kouga?” Kouga looked up to the Kaede priestess standing in front of him. “Take Inuyasha back to your chamber, and let `her' rest.”

 

“'m all right.” Inuyasha mumbled already falling asleep against Kouga. Kouga handed his daughter over to Yuuka and wrapped the sheet around tightly his puppy and picked him up slowly making his way towards their chamber with Yuuka and Kagome in tow.

 

Kouga was thankful it was late, for all the wolves had retired to their chambers quite oblivious to the events of this night. He entered their chamber and laid Inuyasha down on the futon pulling the blanket over his human form and kissed his forehead lovingly. “I love you so much koishii.”

 

“mmm.” Inuyasha smiled as he shifted to lie on his side.

 

He turned to see Yuuka and Kagome entering with the pups who had already fallen asleep along the way. He carefully took the babies from them and laid them side-by-side beside Inuyasha on the futon.

 

“We'll have to get something for them to sleep in.” Kagome suggested “I have a gift for you guys, I'll give it to you tomorrow.” Yuuka and Kagome smiled at each other knowingly “Okay goodnight and sleep well.” Kagome smiled as Kouga nodded and proceeded to her own room.

 

“You should rest too Kouga, tomorrow's going to be a big day.” Yuuka smiled, ruffling the young wolf's hair before she kissed him on the cheek. “I wish you all the happiness and prosperity son.” She smiled and left the room leaving a beaming Kouga behind.
