The couple laid in each other's arms, enjoying the bliss of first mating. While Kagome protested, Inuyasha got up to relight the dying fire. Then he came back and held out his hand to her.
"Come with me."
She got up and started to grab his hitoe to cover herself.
"You won't need that."
"Huh?"
He grabbed her hand and pulled her close and they walked outside of the cave.
"Inuyasha, we should get dressed. What if someone sees us?"
"Don't need to. Don't worry about it.", he said as they walked out of the cave into the bright sunlight.
As she shielded her eyes with one hand, she instinctively covered herself with the other. She gasped when she realized a village was across the way. She tried to run back inside, but Inuyasha held her firm.
"Don't worry, Kagome."
Kagome turned and realized the town was deserted. But still, she was aware of her nakedness. And why wasn't Inuyasha concerned about his vulnerability? They walked a short ways from the cave and he sat down and she followed suit. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.
"Where are we?", she asked as she looked around. The cave sat off to the side of a beautiful meadow filled with flowers and surround by lush vegetation. Trees, plants, and a beautiful waterfall, cascading into a medium-sized stream that separated the town from the hillside cave. The town was deserted and some of the buildings were crumbling. The buildings appeared to be Heiian era.
"This is where I was born. Where I grew up. Until my mother died.", Inuyasha's voice was as soft as a whisper, as he spoke into her ear.
"What about this cave? Why aren't you worried about someone seeing us?"
"Because my father placed a spell on this hillside while he was alive. My mother told me that this was the place they used to come when they were courting and he placed the barrier over it so no one could see them. I was made in that cave."
Kagome turned to look at his face, "You were conceived in there?"
"Yes. And when I was human, my mother would always take me here, for my protection. Even after she died, I kept returning here when I was human. I knew I was safe."
Kagome leaned into him, listening to his story, "Were you born in there?"
"No. The house I was born in burned down the night I was born. The man who killed my mother, while she was having me, set fire to the place. My father revived her with the Tenseiga and she fled with me. She came to this cave and waited for him. But he never came."
The couple was quiet for a while and then Inuyasha spoke again,
"Nobody has lived here for about 70 years now, I suppose. But we can live here. There's plenty of wood, I can build you a home here. A home fit for an empress. Nobody will bother us. The land is perfect for farming and there is plenty of game around here to hunt. We can live here in peace. We don't need to worry about whether or not we're accepted. And raise our pup."
"Our pup? What pup?"
"The pup we made last night."
"What? We made a pup? Last night?"
"You were in heat. Very much so. And now your heat scent is gone. You're with child, Kagome." and then he added, "You're not upset, are you?"
"No, I'm not upset. I wouldn't be upset at carrying your child. Just surprised is all. I didn't know I was fertile."
"You were. I'm surprised too, however."
"Why?"
"Because, I had always been led to believe that half-demons couldn't reproduce. I was really surprised when your heat scent had disappeared this morning."
"Yea, well, there's a lot of things I've heard half-demons aren't supposed to be able to do, but you do it. You've never listened to soothsayers before, why start now?", she commented, giggling.
He hugged her and then laid her down and began kissing her. They began making love again in the field. The next few days were spent making love and laying in the sun, enjoying their freedom.
After a while, they dressed, Kagome in Inuyasha's hitoe, and went over to the town. As they searched, they found that one of the bigger, richer houses was still mostly intact. All it needed was some minor repairs. Inuyasha cleaned out the fireplaces and started a fire, while Kagome explored the house.
It was huge, with a nicely appointed eating area and kitchen, servants quarters and bedrooms. As Kagome searched, she discovered a false wall in the master bedroom. Opening the wall, she discovered a treasure trove of rich bedding, clothing, scrolls, and pottery. Some of the fabrics had been moth eaten but some was in excellent condition. Discovering a rich-looking, blue kimono with gold embroidered birds and peonies on it. Removing Inuyasha's hitoe, she put it on and immediately fell in love with the rich, soft, silk fabric. Picking up a pair of ladies sandals, she put them on and pranced around in front of the full length mirror she had found.
Inuyasha came in and stopped to stare at her. She was a vision in silk.
"You're beautiful. Where did you get that?", he asked.
"I found it here, behind this wall. There's alot of things here. Things we can use to start our home.", she said happily.
Inuyasha beamed inwardly. Kagome seemed to take the idea of living here quite well. They could build a farm and be happy. The three of them.
