Chapter 1- Discovery of a Misunderstood Betrayal
It had been months since Kikyo had lost showed up. Four months to be exact, and yes Kagome had been counting, and very happily at that. The sun beat down on her pale, bare arms, warming her body from the chilly wind. She wore grey sweats and a plain, form fitting storm grey t-shirt that stopped at the middle of her sleeve. Kagome had decided to retire her skimpy school uniform until the winter and half of spring passed, added the fact that her uniform continuously tore. She sighed and adjusted the sleeping kit in her arms. Blue eyes studied the back of a red clad figure leading the group then behind her to the warrior slayer and perverted monk holding hands. Kagome sighed mentally and snuggled Shippo close to her chest. She did not hate Kikyo, nor did she hate anyone for that matter, but she was often a nuisance when it came to trying to prove her love and strengths to InuYasha. Yet, it had been three years since she had started her journey and her feelings towards her beloved hanyou had shifted, or so she was beginning to believe. She was no longer saddened whenever he ran to her dead incarnation, or when he called her name in his sleep, but in fact, she didn't even care.
Even Kouga, the wolf prince, had stopped coming around, much to her and InuYasha's relief and pleasure. Her ice blue eyes shifted to the sky and spotted a snake like soul stealer. "InuYasha," Kagome called softly hoping he wouldn't hear. He did however, and his furry silver ear moved her way before he turned his head.
"What wench?" he questioned gruffly. Kagome glared at him slightly but smiled regardless.
"Kikyo is calling for you," she answered politely in return. The group stopped moving and InuYasha glanced to the sky and indeed, there were several soul stealers in the sky now. Kagome blinked the sun from her eyes and InuYasha was gone. Sighing, Kagome decided to follow. "I am going to the hot springs; would you like to come, Sango?" Kagome questioned turning to her best friend. Sango shook her head slightly and sat down beside the monk, resting her head on his shoulder.
"I don't believe it is healthy to bathe everyday like that Kagome. You have to keep at least one layer of dirt on your body to prevent sickness." Sango answered as if she was Kagome's mother. Kagome paled and opened her mouth to argue but shook her head. Kagome smiled and looked around for Kirara, not finding anything. She shrugged and went into the forest. Kirara had been disappearing a lot lately, so it had not been worrying the group any. Hearing InuYasha's semi-deep voice, Kagome followed it and listened to him and another woman's conversation. She arranged herself so she wouldn't be seen behind a bush. She parted the leaves and saw her InuYasha sitting on a tree stump. Beside him sat a pregnant woman with similar features to Kikyo, and she even wore miko garb.
'It couldn't possibly be Kikyo,' Kagome thought with a dazzled expression, "Kikyo is undead, she couldn't ever bear children."
"Kikyo, how are you pregnant?" she heard InuYasha ask, "The last time we mated, you still smelled like undead."
"I have collected enough souls to make my own, InuYasha. So my reincarnate may have hers back."
"How many souls did it take?" InuYasha asked puzzled.
"It took well over twenty times the people of village you protect so dearly, but they were mostly all women souls." Kikyo answered tossing her ponytail off her back and onto her shoulder. Kagome held in a gasp and she felt Shippo stir.
"We aren't at the hot springs Kagome." He mumbled sleepily, "What are we doing?" Kagome put a finger to his lips and looked back through her peep hole. Kikyo was glowing with her miko energy as a piece of white looking foam came from her left side. The miko energy faded and Kikyo touched the foam orb softly, purifying it. It turned opaque white before flying Kagome's way. Kagome muffled a scream as it pierced her side and entered her core. She ignored the pain as beads of sweat formed at her brow and she focused on Kikyo talking again.
"It is time for you to choose InuYasha," Kikyo said sternly glaring at him, "if you choose the reincarnate, I will purify this child because I cannot raise it without you." Kagome's ice blue eyes widened then narrowed in annoyance.
'That was a dirty deal.' She thought in a grimace. Her right side was beginning to hurt more. She watched mortified as InuYasha stood and gathered Kikyo in his arms.
"Kikyo, Kagome is nothing more than a shard detector to me, and you are and have always been my one and only love." He answered then kissed her heavily as he unclothed her. Kagome scurried away from the bush as scalding tears sprung from her icy blue eyes as she forced back the urge to gag. She had at least wanted to be his friend.
"Momma, that's not true," Shippo tried to assure her. Kagome didn't hear it though, she ran off into the forest blindly, not noticing the scenery passed her like a water color painting as Shippo clung to her shoulder with all his might. Kagome stopped when a cave came into view and she walked inside, falling to the rock floor with heavy sobs racking her delicate frame.
'It hurts.' She thought as her eyes glazed over. Shippo lay on her stomach, hoping to give her some sort of comfort and reassurance. Kagome continued to cry for a few hours. When her body stopped shaking, Shippo sat up and touched his foster mother's cheek. Seeing she was sleep, Shippo dried her tears that remained on her cheeks and left the cave to collect firewood. He returned to the cave to find her still asleep. Remembering how InuYasha taught him, Shippo set the firewood a few feet away from Kagome and lit the wood with his fox fire. The wood caught fire instantly and heat filled the cave. He sniffed the cave floor lightly, scenting a powerful fox demon. He whimpered and ran to Kagome, returning to his former spot on her stomach. He heard something bark and the frightened kit jumped into the air. He spotted a red paw about the size of Kaede's three huts and whimpered again. The paw disappeared and a man walked into the cave. He was very tall and wore a ponytail of blazing orange hair. The fox demon glanced down, storm grey eyes meeting frightened emerald green. Shippo observed the man's physical features. He was quite muscular and his pecks rippled every time he slightly moved his arm. He sported black baggy hakamas and a bright blue haori (sp?). His biceps and triceps were as if there were hogs on each arm. His thighs were the size of water barrels.
"What do we have here?" the demon pondered with a loud booming voice that echoed the entire cave, "a kitsune kit and a funny smelling human miko."
"My mommy is not funny smelling!" Shippo spoke bravely in defense for the sleeping woman-child. The kitsune youkai raised his red eyebrow delicately in a surprised manner, causing Shippo to radiate with fear all over again.
"She smells funny for a human, little kit, and she wears strange garments." He replied. Shippo sighed and inhaled his mother's scent. Indeed, her smell had changed after her eighteenth birthday, but it now reminded him of his real okaa-san, so he couldn't complain.
"Well, what do you want you big Meany?" Shippo questioned after he heard rain begin to pour. The older kitsune laughed heartily.
"Little one, this is my cave. I have lived here since I was a kit, so it is I that should be asking you. What do you want?" He replied forming a fireball from his kitsune magic. Shippo's eyes grew wider as the fireball grew bigger than one of his muscles. The man released the ball of kitsune magic and it flew to the top of the cave, lighting a chandelier, thus illuminating the entire cave. Shippo spotted several piles of pelts and ran up to one of them, sniffing them each delicately.
"You have kits?" Shippo questioned hopefully. The fox youkai nodded and released a fanged smile.
"Yes, they are currently with their mother at her palace. She is a minor lady of the northern lands, a snow kitsune. Add some of those piles of fur together and make a pallet for your mother." The demon replied and Shippo did as commanded.
"How old are they?" I am almost seventy-seven years old. In three years I'll hit my growth spurt." Shippo asked as he worked. (A/N: If anyone knows his age in the sitcom/manga, telling me would be nice if you so desire.
"I would say they are about twenty years younger than you." The elder youkai responded.
"What is your name? Mine is Shippo and my okaa-sans is Kagome." Shippo asked once the pallet was made.
"My name is Akihito, and it is a pleasure to meet you young Shippo." Akihito answered. Shippo nodded and watched as Akihito picked up his foster mother then placed her on the pallet carefully.
"Why don't you have a tail? Shippo questioned innocently settling beside Kagome.
"I am not a full kitsune demon," Akihito replied.
"But how is that possible? You smell like one and you can transform like one, if not even bigger." Shippo interrupted.
"Do not interrupt me child," Akihito instructed, "I am an example of a completed bond of a miko and youkai." He answered specifically.
"What do you mean? InuYasha is a hanyou and so is Shiori. You have to love someone to make a child turn out right?" Shippo asked curiously. Akihito snorted and shook his head.
"Not necessarily. A full mate bond between two different species depends on their mind, love, trust, and intentions after the child is born. If the full mate bond is broken during pregnancy, the child will resort to the weaker breed. If the bond stays faithful until the child is conceived, they will have the powers of the stronger breed while still able to call upon the weaker breed's stronger powers. InuYasha, the son of the great dog general, is hanyou simply because Izayoui (sp?) had no real intention of birthing a child. The hanyou Shiori, from the village near the bat demons, is half demon because of her grandfather. He killed her father before the bond is complete." Akihito told him simply. Shippo nodded and curled into his okaa-sans stomach.
"Oh okay, good night Akihito." Shippo bid politely. Akihito nodded to him and transformed into his youkai form in a puff of smoke. He laid his massive back against the cave entrance for protection while everyone slept.
A few hours previous with InuYasha and gang
InuYasha placed his pregnant mate against his chest, feeling the heat from her body against his. "Love, Kikyo, we need to get you to the camp, it has been six hours and I am sure the group is worried about me. Kikyo removed her head from his chest and looked into his amber eyes wit love shining through them like beacons in the fog. InuYasha watched the emotion ignite in her earthy-brown eyes before she responded.
"That would be nice, but what will your group think?" she answered as he sat up also, "Not to mention you shredded my clothes," Kikyo picked up a piece of clothing that had once been her inner haori (sp?) in example. InuYasha blushed delicately and picked up his outer haori (sp?) and handed it to his mate. Kikyo lowered her self into his arms after she dressed and he licked his mating mark softly, earning a moan from Kikyo and a spike in her arousal. InuYasha slid a finger in her slick folds and pumped twice. He slowly removed his fingers after playing with her clit and then licked them clean. Kikyo moaned his name softly as she clutched his haori tightly. InuYasha gave a devilish grin before breaking off into a spring. He arrived at the camp to see a brightly lit fire and Miroku was asleep with his head on Sango's lap as she stared into space.
"Oi Sango," InuYasha called. Sango looked up with worried eyes then noticed Kikyo's body.
"InuYasha, what the hell is going on? Kagome and Shippo left for the hot springs six hours ago!" She voiced standing up and grabbing her boomerang. Miroku's head hit the ground with a solid thud and he grumbled before sitting up. "Not only that, but you return with Kikyo in your arms wearing your outer haori naked, and she blushing! Dead women do not blush! I swear if you killed Kagome for that bitch then-," Sango was cut Miroku's comforting hand on her shoulder. She calmed somewhat, but her face was still very red with anger, and her body was tense for an attack.
"I haven't seen Kagome since I left, and Kikyo is with my child, so she will be with us for a while." InuYasha answered innocently.
"InuYasha, when will you understand she is DEAD? How could she possibly carry your child?" Sango yelled enraged as she struggled in Miroku's grasp.
"I collected enough souls to bring the other half of my soul from hell. Therefore, I did not need Kagome's anymore." Kikyo answered. Sango opened her mouth to say something snobbish before what Kikyo said kicked in.
"How is she your reincarnation if the other half of your soul was in hell? Would that not mean you guys have two different souls?" Sango questioned softly. Kikyo smiled at this.
"Quite simple, she is not my reincarnation or she would have brown eyes, we just have similar features, so we must be related down in the line somewhere." Kikyo stated. Sango went limp in Miroku's grasp.
"I apologize for accusations then, but she and Shippo disappeared in the way you came back and left." Sango whispered. InuYasha's ears lowered slightly.
"She may have heard me say she was just a shard detector to me then ran away, but as soon as I said that Kikyo bitch slapped the demon outta me and I prefer her as a little sister." InuYasha replied blushing heavily. Kikyo smirked and cracked her knuckles the way he did.
"Yea wench and I will do it again if you do not put me down," Kikyo grinned mimicking his voice. InuYasha was flabbergasted as he set his pregnant mate down carefully.
"We should all rest, tomorrow we'll return to Kaede's Village and I will see if Kagome went home." InuYasha proposed as he grabbed Kikyo around her waist and leapt onto the nearest tree.
