Ai Love
By miroku-chan78'91
Author's Notes: This is my first real story! Yay! Oh, my muse/beta reader, Sasuke (who is female, by the way), will be popping up through the story to make fun of me…yeah.
Prologue:
Toward the end of their quest, Kagome told Inuyasha that she loved him. Inuyasha, in return, kissed her and they shared a night away from the group (and guess what they did, wink wink ).
The next day, Kikyou came along and stole Inuyasha away. In a fit of rage, Kagome swore never to come back through the well again and left. Inuyasha returned a month later, and was completely clueless about what had happened.
Five months after that, Kagome came to visit Sangou, Miroku, and Shippou, only to find that Inuyasha had come back. After that, she would stay for short amounts of time, and spend the majority of her time in the present. No one knew why, until the day Naraku was defeated. But our story begins seven days before that…
Chapter One … Ai
The house was fully asleep, all four members of this humble home. At exactly six o'clock in the morning, a wail was heard from a room at the top of the stairs. Mrs. Higurashi groaned as she headed toward the source of the screaming.
Just then, Kagome raced up the stairs to her room. As soon as the door closed, the crying stopped. She walked out with a baby girl, about the age of two, with jet-black hair and silver dog ears. "Ai, mommy's here. Don't cry, baby," she soothed.
The little tot looked up at her mom and frowned. "Ai want cry! Ai miss mommy!" With that, she continued to cry her little eyes out.
Kagome laughed at her child's selfishness. Ai always reminded her of her father (Ai's, that is). Kagome walked to the kitchen to fix breakfast. 'That stupid, arrogant, bastard!' she thought angrily, as she warmed the child's bottle.
Kagome had eight days at home, to celebrate Ai's birthday. It was basically an excuse for all of Kagome's close friends to come over and say how cute Ai was, and things like that.
After Ai had had her bottle, and Kagome had eaten some breakfast, Souta entered the kitchen and sat down next to his niece. "Hey, Ai, whatcha want for your birthday?"
Ai thought about cats. Ai-brain-math: catsBuyo. Buyo + Ai's speech capabilities Boe Boe. "Auntie 'Outa buy Ai's Boe Boe for Ai!" (A/N: Ai calls aunts and uncles "Aunties" no matter what. Ain't that cute?)
Everyone laughed at that. Kagome hugged her daughter, taking her upstairs to get ready. After they left, Kagome dropped Ai off at daycare and headed off to school.
OoOoOoO
On Sunday morning, the Higurashi family began preparations for the party. At noon, Kagome's friends began arriving: Ayumi, Eri, Yuka, and Hojo all oohed and aahed over the little cutie, and devoured the chocolate cake with the ferocity of locusts. After the guests went home, Ai was tucked in her crib for a long nap.
Meanwhile
Inuyasha was getting impatient, so he decided to go get Kagome instead of just sitting around. Deciding to show off for no one in particular, he jumped, ricocheted off a tree, and double back flipped into the Bone-Eater's Well.
Seconds later, he was climbing out on the other side. He skulked over to the back door, and slunk in. 'It's been too long since I was here last.' he thought, walking into the kitchen to find Mrs. Higurashi warming up some milk.
"Oh, hello, Inuyasha! It's been a while," she smiled, then called up the stairs, "Kagome! Inuyasha's here, hon!"
"Come on, time to go back," the dog demon yelled.
"But I have three more days!" Kagome argued, getting out her backpack. 'Knowing Inuyasha, he'll find a way to get me in that damn well anyway.' she thought crossly, as she crammed her books and other essentials into the pack.
"I don't care! Naraku is getting closer! And he has MY jewel shards!" Inuyasha ranted, clearly in a foul mood, as Kagome dragged her bag down the stairs. Inuyasha walked over to help her with the giant backpack, lifting it with ease.
The walked to the well and casually jumped in, as if they'd done it a thousand times, which they pretty much had. As the mist of time swirled, bring them back to the Feudal Era, Inuyasha was still muttering angrily about how much stuff Kagome packed, and Kagome was glaring at her daughter's father.
A magical place called "the author is too lazy to think,
so we'll call it Somewhere Else"
Kouga was running form his fiancée to his lover. 'Aaah, sweet Kagome, soon I'll see you again,' he thought, trapped in a blissful haze of…puppy love. (ba-dum-ch!) He arrived in the clearing where her scent was strongest.
"It's been so long, my…" He trailed off as he saw HIM helping his angelic Kagome out of the Bone-Eater's Well. His fangs bared.
"Oh, Kouga, hi there!" Kagome said cheerfully.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha glowered at the wolf pack leader.
"You smell…different, Kagome," Kouga observed. 'She usually smells like sweet chocolates, but now there's another scent, too…like Mother? That's strange.'
"Oh, umm…I'm trying a new perfume," Kagome told him, embarrassed. "M-maybe that's it?"
"Kagome! You're here!" Sangou ran over and hugged her best friend.
"Mommy, mommy, is Ai–oh, no…" Shippou trailed off, remembering too late that he was the only one who knew about Ai. "Oops!" the little fox sweatdropped as Kagome swooped down to pick him up and kiss his forehead.
"Silly, she's not old enough," Kagome whispered in her adopted son's ear. "She could get hurt or something."
"Oh, yeah… Can I go back with you next time?" Shippou asked his mother.
About the same time Kagome unofficially became Shippou's mother, she started pushing Inuyasha away. She felt like a third wheel with Miroku and Sangou, Kouga and Ayame, and Inuyasha and Kikyou. It was sad, but she had Shippou there and Ai at home.
Kagome answered Shippou. "I guess so, if Inuyasha promises he won't cut my love time off!" Kagome said, looking at Inuyasha angrily.
"What do you mean, 'Love Time'?" Kouga asked, overhearing Kagome's conversation.
"That's for me and Mommy to know, and you to never find out," Shippou taunted, jumping out of Kagome's arms and into the pack leader's face.
"Oh, Kagome, do you have a lover back home?" Miroku asked, rather interestedly.
"Of course not!" Kouga exclaimed, not really knowing what they meant by 'back home'. "…You don't, right?" he asked nervously, unsure that he wanted the answer.
"Of course I do!" Kagome exclaimed cheerily.
Everyone in the vicinity reacted differently.
Miroku asked, "Who does that man think he is, cutting the line?"
Kouga asked, "Kagome, would you mind too much if I kill this lover of yours?"
Inuyasha just stared at her, heartbroken.
Sangou asked, "Wow, is he as cute as your last lover?" This, of course, made Kouga even madder.
"What line are you talking about?" Kagome decided to start with Miroku.
Miroku just smiled wickedly. "Inuyasha is first, because he met you first and he's single. Kouga is second, because he only has a fiancée. And I'm last, because dear Sangou doesn't like me hitting on other women." he explained, as though it was obvious. This earned him a stinging slap on the cheek.
Shippou thought about that for a while. Kagome turned to Kouga. "Yes, I mind a lot, thank you very much!" she told him, pissed that he could even ask such a question.
After sorting that problem out, Kagome turned to Sangou. "She's even cuter." she explained. Everyone facefaulted.
"What do you mean, 'she'!" was all anyone could muster, and anyway, that was only Inuyasha.
By this time, Shippou was done remaking the 'list'. "You're wrong, Miroku!" he gloated.
"What do you mean, I'm wrong? How am I wrong!" Miroku asked in confusion.
"With the list!" Shippou told the monk. "It goes like this. Ai and me are first, because Ai is…well, Ai, and I'm me. Then it's Inuyasha, 'cause he's Ai's–mmmphrlg!" He was cut off by Kagome's hand over his little mouth.
"Inuyasha is Ai's what?" Kouga asked. 'I thought I heard that little brat say father…but who the hell is Ai?' Kouga thought to himself. (A/N: Sasuke: How do you think to anyone but yourself?
Miroku-chan: You never know when someone might have telepathfalippyly!
Sasuke: …)
Everyone else was thinking more or less the same thing.
"Shippou, don't expose me like that!" Kagome scolded lightly. "She's our little secret," she whispered in his ear.
"OK, mommy. I got it!" Shippou winked. "It's our secret!"
"What secret? What are you talking about? I WANT TO BE IN THE KNOW!" Miroku yelled out, as he fell to his knees on the grass.
"Oh, don't worry, my little friend. You will all find out…in the afterlife." Came a scary (A/N But oh so sexy) voice from above the trees. (A/N I'll give you three guesses on who's there, and the first two don't count.)
"Naraku, you bastard! Come down and fight!" Inuyasha yelled up at his archenemy.
"Oh, you silly, silly boy." Naraku smirked evilly. "I don't have to go down there to kill you. I just have to count to three, and you'll all be dead!"
"What are you talking about!" Kouga asked, jumping up and pathetically trying to grab Naraku's ankle.
"Well, isn't it obvious? I've planted a bomb in the center of the earth!" Naraku explained as though to a small child.
Kagome gasped. "Where did you get a bomb?"
"What's a bomb?" Sangou asked in complete confusion.
"A bomb…well…it…explodes!" Kagome tried to explain to her friends.
"EXPLODES! How!" Miroku asked, notes of panic creeping into his voice.
"We don't have time for this!" Inuyasha yelled at the monk.
"Jeez, little brother, your temper gets worse every time I see you." Sesshomaru's voice was heard across the clearing.
"Oh! Hi, Kagome!" Rin ran to the modern girl and hugged her around the waist. (A/N Kagome and Rin were becoming friends.)
Naraku floated down with Kagura, Kanna, and Kohaku behind him. "So Kagome, how's the baby? She's about a year old now, right?" the evil mastermind asked with a cruel smirk.
Kagome just looked at him. "How…how did you…"
"I'm a demon, dear. I've got a great nose. The last time we fought, you were giving off way too much estrogen for someone your age."
Everyone looked at Kagome, dumbfounded.
"But how did you know I had a girl? I haven't told anyone but Shippou!" Kagome was completely clueless.
"Well, I followed you, of course. She looks just like you, except for those ear-awk!" Naraku's taunting was cut short by Kagome's hands finding their way to his throat. She couldn't help it. She'd been keeping that secret for a whole year, and she wasn't going to let that jerk Naraku ruin it now.
"Kagome, what are you doing!" Inuyasha yelled, trying to pull her off.
"Don't touch her that way!" Kouga exclaimed, as he tried to pull the half-demon away from "his woman".
"Kouga, you unbelievable JERK! You told me you were hunting!" Ayame's accusing wail came from the bushes, as did she. She yanked on his arm.
"Ayame, get off Kouga!" Hakkaku followed her from the brush, and started yanking on her arm. (A/N I'm going somewhere with this, so just stay put!) Ginta grabbed the wolf girl's shoulders.
Rin was still hugging Kagome's waist, and Jaken was trying to pull her off. Sesshomaru was making it hard, as he had Jaken by the feet, just for fun. Sesshomaru likes torturing Jaken. Shippou was holding onto Kagome's leg for dear life.
Kagura, Kanna, and Kohaku (A/N Three K's! w00t!) were trying to help Naraku: Kagura had his shoulders, Kanna his left arm, and Kohaku his right.
Sangou was pulling her brother away from the choking victim, while Miroku used this opportunity to fondle her butt, as usual.
"Too gack bad cough you'll never see choke her again wheeze…" Naraku gasped out, raising a futuristic device, equipped with a Big Red Button™ that read, "PUSH TO BLOW ".
"If I die now, I'll come back to kill you…you bastard!" Kagome growled at Naraku.
He pushed the button.
"One. Two. Three." he grinned evilly.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick…
BOOOOOOOM!
End chapter one.
Yay! That was fun. What's gonna happen next? You'll have to wait and see! FYI, Ai means love in Japanese.
Hugglez, Miroku-chan
