Kagome sighed as she followed after the others, Inuyasha leading them on their way. Inuyasha looked back at her in concern, but she ignored him. He huffed and turned back to watch where he was going. Kagome sighed once again. She felt so tired. They had been walking all day. She had refused inuyashas demand for her to ride on his back and he had been worried about her ever since. Looking at her and huffing in concern and irritation every so often.
They kept walking back to kaedes village, and as they walked, they came across a lone cow meandering down a field next to them. Kagome paused, watching it and her stomach suddenly let out a loud growl as she blushed. Inuyasha turned back to her, eyebrows raised and he let a smirk slide onto his face. He looked from the cow to kagome. "Want me to kill it for you?" The cow let out a slow "mooooo." Kagome shook her head. "No! Leave the poor cow alone!" She growled out. Her stomach growled louder this time and she huffed, taking the lead to hurry back to the village as inuyasha and the others started to chuckle good-naturedly.
"Ive got to go back to my time for a bit, okay guys? Ill be back." Kagome muttered, backing towards the well. "Stay here inuyasha. I wont be gone long." She didnt give him a chance to reply before taking off.
Kagome lept out of the well with a sigh, hurrying to the house. "Mom? Im back." She called out softly. Her mom walked into the room, holding a bundle to her chest. "Hey honey! Glad you're back. We had fun hanging out together! She missed you though." Her mom cooed at the baby as she handed it to kagome. "Are you sure that you two will be okay in the feudal era?" Kagome nodded. "I'm sure we will be fine. Inuyasha will protect us." Her mom suddenly looked stern. "And when are you going to tell him why you were gone for so long last time? Doesn't he know anything about her yet?" Kagome sighed and shook her head. "No mom. I haven't told him about Mika yet. I dont know what to say..." her mom tapped her foot impatiently. "How about, hey inuyasha by the way...you're a father and have been for over four months now? Oh and by the way, now there's another on the way!" Her mom sighed, losing her sterness. "Okay, now i know why you havent told him yet. Even i felt scared of him just saying it out loud." Kagome smiled, covering the babys white dog ears and her tuft of white hair under the blanket as best she could. "I'm just going to say I'm babysitting for now. Its kind of the truth..." her mom sighed, hugging her. "Just be careful sweetie."
Kagome climbed carefully out of the well, holding mika close. She paused, rearranging the blanket again to make sure her hair and ears she had inherited from her father were well hidden. Satisfied, she took off towards the village.
Sango looked up as kagome approached and her eyes narrowed as she saw the bundle in her arms. "Kagome? Whats going on?" Sango asked in confusion. Kagome put a smile on her face. "Oh. Im babysitting my little cousin. I couldnt say no. This is mika." She said, showing sango the child, keeping her mostly covered up. Sango looked at the childs eyes closely. "Hmm...those eyes...ive seen those eyes before...but where?" Kagome sweatdropped as sango kept thinking. Inuyasha walked out of the hut, pausing as he saw the baby in kagomes arms. "Huh? Who's this?" He asked in confusion as he stared at the child. "This is mika, my cousin!" Kagome said quickly. Sango suddenly looked at inuyasha and stared at his eyes, and looked back at the child, then looked at kagome, repeating a few times before her mouth slowly fell open. "Oh...my...GOD!" she finally screamed out as kagome grabbed her, leading her away. "Excuse us! We'll be right back!"
Sango sat in shock as she took in the childs looks. She finally looked back at kagome, her mouth still open as she tried to speak. Kagome covered the child again, giving sango a pleading look. "Sango...please. dont tell him. I need to do it myself. I just...i need more time to work up the courage..." sango sighed and nodded. "Anything else that is going on that i need to know?" Kagome hesitated. "Uhm...yeah... I'm three months pregnant again..." sango sat there for a moment. "He does know how babies are made, right?" She finally asked. Kagome started to laugh and sango joined in. Sango sighed, wiping away a tear as she calmed down. "Sorry kagome...but your child looks too much like you two for there to be any doubt...luckily for you though, hes not very observant..." kagome let out a giggle. "Lets head back."
