Hey guys I know it's been a while but as soon as I posted my first part of this story, my professors started really piling on the home work. Plus the social obligations and performances got in the way. Then finals came along and once school was out there was family to get ready for. So here's the next part of the story. So this is my Christmas present or holiday present (for those who need this to be PC) to you guys, I think you've waited long enough. I know it's a lot of fluff but trust me it's still needed for the story. Once again I do not own Inuyasha *sniff* but I do own the ideas. Yay! Edited version but the same thing.
"I just told everything."
"Keh. Yeah right." Inuyasha plainly stated. "Now tell me what is really going on."
"I'm not lying! Why would you even think I would? Just. Leave. Me. Alone," She growled. It's like he has this instinct on how to ruin a moment. Sometimes I wonder about our relationship. Does he even know how hard it is to give up my whole life in the future? After that thought, she began to cry. Inuyasha not knowing what had just gone through her head was confused and worried about her. Still not being used to girls' frequent ups and downs in emotions.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" He paused smelling her silent tears." Look I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to make you cry, it's just that you've been acting so strange lately that I don't know what to think." Inuyasha pulled her into his protective arms and ran his hands through her hair trying to calm her down. Well what do I do now? This isn't the time to tell her. It would probably just scare her and make her "sit" me again.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha. I know I've been using the beads a lot recently, I just don't know what has gotten into me the past couple of weeks. I feel like I don't have control over myself anymore. I'm so frightened and it's not like I can go and talk to mom about this." She murmured as she cried into his chest.
Or I could tell her now. She's already upset .Idiot. How could I not recognize this? I would have saved myself from a lot of eating dirt.
"Hey Kagome, I want to tell you something. But you have to promise not to "sit" me okay?"
"Okay…what is it?"
"Ummm …Kagome… *cough, cough* your ummm scent has changed" he told her uncomfortably.
Thinking that he was an idiot for forgetting what they did several times after being married retorted. "Well I know that. We... well you know. I'm obviously going to change what I smell like, so that I smell like you," she said blushing slightly. But she heard the cautiousness in his voice along with the discomfort.
"Inuyasha, I don't understand. What's wrong with me? I have the right to know especially if it has to do with me."
Inuyasha mentally sighed. He really didn't want to say this out in the woods. Not the best place to discuss private things. Why can't she just understand?
"Kagome" Inuyasha said in a tone that definitely got her attention. He coughed a few times to get the courage "What's your view on puppies?"
"Why are you asking a pointless question like that?
...
Wait you're not saying that I'm ...?"
"I'm so sorry Kagome! I never meant for this to happen so soon! If you hate me I under-ummph!"
Before he could even finish his apology she had wrapped her arms around his neck and encased his lips in hers. He was unsure of what had just happened but not wanting to ruin the moment he returned her kiss by deepening it. It wasn't a kiss that was needy; it was one just to show how much she cared for him. When they finally broke away, their faces still touching, she looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Kagome," when he saw her tears, he pulled her into his arms. "It will be okay. I promise no one will hurt you. I'll never let anyone treat you like they did my mother."
"I'm not crying because I'm scared or even sad. I'm really happy. I didn't understand why I wanted to cry over everything for the past couple of days. At least there's a reason and it one of the best reasons I can think of."
He smiled down at her, thinking that he had to be one of the luckiest guys that ever lived. Not many girls would stay with the one they loved while the other was running after another girl, and then wait three years after they finally were together. Actually the only one by his knowledge was Kagome, his mate; his wife. I wonder if this how my father felt when he found out that mom was pregnant.
Once Kagome had calmed down from hearing the news, they both started walking back to the camp; her hand in his.
"So you think we should tell Miroku and Sango or should we let them figure it out for themselves?" Kagome said, smiling at the thought of how funny it would be if they didn't notice until she had a bulge. Inuyasha looked like he was about to make a smart remark, but stopped before he could utter a word. His cheeks got visibly red even in the late afternoon light.
"Well...we should at least wait until tomorrow to tell them," Inuyasha replied looking uncomfortable.
"Why? If we are going to tell them, they should..." As Kagome trailed off mid-sentence, she understood why blood was rushing to his cheeks. Her blood immediately followed. Since she now was connected with Inuyasha, her senses were a bit heightened. Not as much as his were, but enough to hear things that couldn't be heard by an average human. As they approached she knew it was not the appropriate time to tell them. (A/N: I'll let you put two and two together)After getting over the initial shock of the situation, Inuyasha regained his composition.
"I swear you would think those two were newly married the way-"
"INUYASHA!"
"What! I know you can hear them just as well as I can at night."
"Yeah but I'm not the one who suggests we follow suit," Kagome hissed silently since they were near camp. Inuyasha chuckled at that. Ever since Kagome had gained a bit of his blood, it was easier to initiate further actions in the night. Sometimes it really bugged her actually. She had told him it felt like she had no control over how her body would react to her heightened senses. "We probably should find out where Shippo went anyways, I hope they sent him off somewhere, because I do not want to have to explain that to him right now."
They found Shippo farther up the stream with Sango's children. They made camp again. Kagome put the kids to sleep and made sure the fire wouldn't go out for the rest of the night before getting ready for bed herself. Inuyasha jumped in the nearest tree and settled down for the night. As he sat there watching Kagome, he admired how beautiful she was in the firelight. She seems to be more beautiful than last night. I wonder if it has anything to do with the news earlier today .Kami, I must be lucky.
"Inuyasha don't you want to come down near camp? It feels like it's going to be a cold night tonight."
"Nah. I think I'll just stay here for the night; haven't spent the night in a tree for a long time. I forgot how peaceful it can be."
"Well then I'll come up there and join you. I've always wondered what fascinated you with sleeping in high places," as she started to climb.
"NO!" Inuyasha quietly yelled. Kagome stumbled slightly and looked back up at Inuyasha with an inquiring look on her face. Inuyasha recovered quickly. "I-I mean it's a bit windy up here and I wouldn't want you to fall and break anything."
"Inuyasha, you don't have to worry. Did you forget that I am a bit more capable to do things myself?" she said sweetly.
But before she could prepare herself to jump again, he had already jumped down, picked her up and settled them on the branch with her up against his chest. He scoffed at her.
"I know that. I just want to know that you are safe; you have another person to think about now," blushing slightly for making a big deal out of it. Kagome just smiled back at him thinking how much he had changed even since they had married.
A few hours later Kagome woke up and realized she was starving. Trying to move out of Inuyasha's protective arms without waking him, she jumped off the branch the two were cuddled on. She found her bow and arrow in her belongings and started to head out.
"And where do you think you're going?"
She jumped. "Don't do that Inuyasha, do you want to hurt the baby?"
"You'll be the one who will hurt the baby if you go out on your own like this," he sternly whispered.
"I can take care of myself Inuyasha. I've been up against worse things than in these woods. Now would you just let me go!" Kagome was fuming. How dare he think she couldn't fend for herself!
"But-"
"Sit." She said in her softest angry tone she could use. Before he barely hit the ground from the incantation, she had run into the woods.
That Kagome! Does she not realize what can happen when she's out this late at night and that scent coming off of her?
Shippo stirred from where he was sleeping in one of Kagome's sleeping bags. He rubbed his eyes to see what the commotion was. (A/N: he has grown up so he is less afraid of what is out in the forest) "What-? Oh it's just you Inuyasha. What did you do to upset Kagome this time?"
"Nothing you brat. It's none of your business," Inuyasha said as he brushed the dirt off his fire rat robe.
"But I need you to watch Miroku and Sango's kids while I go off and get Kagome. I'm counting on you to protect them ok?"
"I promise Inuyasha I'll guard them with my life," Shippo replied with his chest puffed out to make him look intimidating. (A/N: he'd probably look more cute than scary, don't you think?)
"Good." He ruffled Shippo's hair and an off after Kagome.
I just hope she's okay and not in any danger yet thought Inuyasha as he as fast as he could, following Kagome's scent.
All of a sudden her scent changed from anger to cautiousness; and from that to uneasiness to pure fear. This was followed by the sound of her running quickly and her breathing quickening with something or some things following.
Suddenly he heard a scream filled with shock and terror.
Shit.
So what do you guys think? I know it will be different than any the other stories like this made. And it's for me to know and for you to find out. *insert mocking chuckle* Please R&R! I would like to have a few comments before I post the next. Hopefully it won't be as long a wait as this time.
