Together Forever or Forever Apart?
Part 2
Chapter 1 New Beginnings
What has gone on between the stories:
Four years had past since Inuyasha and Kagome had mated. They had a daughter that answered to the name of Meeka, and she was two years old, and Inuyasha and Kagome were expecting another child soon. Sango and Miroku were Meeka's godparents, and they were still around with Inuyasha and Kagome. Sango and Miroku were also expecting a child, their first. Shippo was also still a part of the group, and was very excited for all of these new beginnings. Shippo also loved to play with Meeka, even though there was a nine year age difference.
Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship with each other had grown stronger with each passing day. They were no longer ashamed or embarrassed to tell each other how they felt, even if it meant that they were hurting one another's feelings in the process. Kikyou was doing what she had promised, trying to break Inuyasha and Kagome apart, but all her attempts were failing. Kikyou had tried to kiss Inuyasha when Kagome was near, but Inuyasha always pushed her away. He no longer held any feeling for Kikyou, and was not afraid to let her know it. Kikyou had also tried to push Kagome down the Bone Eater's Well countless number of times, but each and every time was another failed attempt. All the damage it would do is Kagome would fall and hit the hard cold ground at the bottom. Since Kagome no longer belonged to the time period in which she was born it she could no longer pass back and forth through the well. Kagome could no longer see her grandfather, mother, or little brother again because of the decision she made four years prior. It seemed that no matter what Kikyou would do she could not break Inuyasha and Kagome apart.
Kagome and Inuyasha's second child was to be born on the fifth anniversary of when they mated, which was only a few months away. Sango's and Miroku's child was to be born a few days after. Even though Kagome had already gone through child birth, this time wasn't going to be any easier. Kagome remembered the pain very well, and did not want to go through it again. Sango, remembering how Kagome was giving birth to Meeka, was scared and nervous herself. There would be random moments through out the day where Sango would dig her finger nails into Miroku's arm. Sango would be holding onto Miroku so tightly that he would need Inuyasha's help getting her off of him. Miroku didn't like that fact. He loved Sango being on him, showing him affection and what not, but when Sango was on him digging her nails into his arm, that's when Miroku knew that Sango wasn't trying to play nice.
--------------------------
Present time and place:
"Sango, Miroku, what are you planning on naming your baby?" Shippo asked them one afternoon while Meeka was taking her nap.
"I don't know," Sango answered him, "I want to name the baby something that has a special meaning, like how Meeka means, 'new moon'."
"I was thinking about a rather strong name for the baby myself," Miroku said throwing his two cents in. "But I agree with Sango on how it should have some sort of meaning behind the name."
"How about you Inuyasha and Kagome? Have you thought of a name for your baby yet?" Shippo asked them.
"No, not quite yet Shippo. I just want to wait until he or she is here before we start picking out any names. I also want Inuyasha to be the one to name it, since I was the one who named Meeka." Kagome answered.
"What? And when were you going to tell me this Kagome? Sometime next year?" Inuyasha said in an aggravated voice.
"I just thought that you would want to name our child, sorry for jumping to conclusions. I'm sorry for telling you this now, since there's only two weeks left there's no time to plan or anything," Kagome said in a sarcastic voice trying to defend herself.
"I'm sorry for spazing on you like that; it's just that having a baby is so stressful." Inuyasha said apologetically.
"I know, tell me about it." Kagome said with a smile.
"I don't know about you Kagome, but I'm starving." Sango said rubbing her pregnant belly.
"Yeah, I'm a little hungry myself. Inuyasha, do you and Miroku mind getting us something for lunch?" Kagome asked him.
"Sure, no problem, I'll just cook up Shippo." Inuyasha laughed.
"Wa-wa-wa-what?" Shippo asked scared.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome said in the voice that she uses to tell Inuyasha to sit.
Inuyasha panicked, "Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Inuyasha said hoping that Kagome wasn't going to tell him to sit.
"Too late! Sit boy!" Kagome yelled making Inuyasha fall face first to the ground.
"Damn pregnant women and their damn hormones." Inuyasha said getting off the ground and dusting himself off.
"What was that Inuyasha?" Kagome asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"Nothing dear, absolutely nothing," Inuyasha said all panicky.
"I don't think so," Kagome said wagging her index finger at him. Inuyasha knew that he said something that he shouldn't have, and dusted himself off for nothing. Once again Kagome yelled, "Sit boy!" causing Inuyasha to fall face first to the ground once more.
Inuyasha was going to say what just landed him on the ground again, but he decided against it. "Come on Miroku; let's get our pregnant wives their food." Inuyasha said dusting himself off once again.
"I love you Sango, we should be back soon." Miroku said to his wife.
"Believe it or not Kagome, I do love you too, even if…" Inuyasha stopped himself before he managed to say something that would land him on the ground once again.
The wives said their good-byes to their husbands and then the men were off searching for food. They hated it, it always took them forever to catch something for them, and it was usually something that they didn't want. Inuyasha was the most annoyed with this. He hated living in the villages because of how the humans treated him when he was just a young boy. Sure some people accepted him, but most looked upon him afraid. If only Inuyasha would get over what happened to him in the past he could fully support Kagome's and Meeka's needs fully. Either that or get so annoyed with living in the woods and hunting on a daily basis that he decided to move into a village with his family, plus Shippo, Miroku, and Sango.
"Damn man, I feel bad for you. You already went through with this once, now you're going through it again." Miroku said sympathetically.
"It's not that bad the second time around. I'm used to and pretty much know everything that Kagome's going to do because of what she pulled the second time around. But I have to admit, her telling me to sit I'm never going to get used to and it's never going to get easier." Inuyasha said cringing.
"Yeah, I guess that's true. I just wish that Sango wasn't around when Kaede helped deliver Meeka she wouldn't be flipping out and be digging her nails into my arm all the time. That hurts." Miroku said rubbing his arm.
"How much money do we have saved up?" Inuyasha asked Miroku causing Miroku to stop causing Inuyasha to run into him, knocking both of them onto the ground. "Damn it Miroku! Kagome's got me falling to the ground enough that I don't need you doing it to!" Inuyasha said in an aggravated voice.
"Sorry Inuyasha. Anyways, we have enough money that we could buy a small house with at least three rooms, and all the food the girls could eat for five long months, why?" Miroku questioned Inuyasha.
"Good, but knowing our wives, a five month supply of food they could eat in two weeks." Inuyasha joked.
"Inuyasha, that wasn't funny. I don't even know how you could joke like that. I mean they're pregnant, so of course they are going to eat like cows." Miroku said making Inuyasha laugh even harder than he was already. "What? What did I say?" Miroku asked not realizing that he called both of the girls a cow.
"Oh, it's nothing; I just wonder how Sango would like it knowing that you think of her as a cow?" Inuyasha laughed. "And Kagome as well. Too bad you don't own this necklace or she would tell you to sit."
"What? I didn't, tell me that I didn't." Miroku said looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Oh, you did."
"Well if you want to get a house in a village so badly, why don't we head back to where the girls and Shippo are and tell them about it, and once we find a place they can eat."
"I would, but I don't want Kagome to tell me to sit if we go back without any food. Sorry, but you don't have to deal with that and I do. So why don't we just catch a couple of fish, and we can talk to the girls about moving once they have eaten so they are actually calm and not out for blood. Besides, there's a stream right over there. All we really got to do is just catch four fish and Shippo, you, and I can all eat once we find a place."
"Sounds good to me. I would do anything to get out of hunting for food on a regular basis. It wouldn't be so bad if the girls didn't act like they need to be fed every two hours or they'll die. I know they're pregnant and hormonally challenged, but that doesn't mean they need to treat us how they do."
"I know, you're right, but that doesn't stop them now does it? No? I didn't think so. Just wait until the baby is born, after that everything will be fine. Trust me." Inuyasha said with a smile.
"I know, I know, but still. I just with my Sango was my Sango again."
Inuyasha and Miroku then began to fish for Sango and Kagome's lunch. This way once they were finished they could cook it up and talk to the girls about their plans on moving to a nearby village. Inuyasha would miss living in the great out doors, but he knew that Kagome and Meeka needed a real home, not just a make shift home out in the woods. And plus with the new baby on his or her way, Inuyasha wanted them to have a real home to grow up in. Inuyasha already regretted not being able to provide that for Meeka, so he wanted to make it up to her now. Just hopefully she would let him. If only Inuyasha's mother and father were alive to see their grandchildren, and their daughter-in-law, they would be so impressed with Inuyasha. He was actually making a life for himself, being accountable for something, something that society said that he was never going to accomplish because of who and how he was. Boy did he prove them wrong.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! That should be enough fish!" Miroku said trying to snap Inuyasha out of his day dream.
"What?" Inuyasha responded still not being fully there.
"You've caught enough fish. There's enough her to feed all of us."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking…"
"Well come on, let's head back. I want to know what the girls think of our decision."
"Okay, let's head on back then. The girls have to be starving."
Inuyasha and Miroku then headed back to the make shift house they the put together in the woods. As they walked they were praying that they weren't going to be killed by them because they were gone for so long. After all, Sango and Kagome are two hormonally challenged pregnant females, they could do almost anything without any regret when they were pissed.
