Chapter 2 A New Place to Live

Once Inuyasha and Miroku arrived back to the make shift house they had in the woods, they prepared the fish for the girls, Shippo, and themselves. For once it was quiet while they ate, a little too quiet. The men were waiting until both the girls were completely full before brining up the idea of moving to a nearby village. They didn't want to upset the girls in any way. They greatly liked their lives how they were; they didn't want to do anything that might change them.

Kagome and Sango were eating so fast that it seemed that they were making no effort to chew their food before swallowing. They were eating faster that Shippo, and when that little fox demon is hungry you know that he can eat fast. Inuyasha and Miroku looked at each other scared; they honestly thought that if the girls were not satisfied and completely full after eating three large fish, they were going to eat them too.

Kagome and Sango finally finished. When Inuyasha realized this, he asked them, "Are you two full or do you want me to cook up Shippo for you?" Inuyasha meant for it just to be a joke, but yet again, Kagome didn't take it that way.

"Inuyasha, do you honestly hate Shippo that much that you would cook him up and feed him to two pregnant women just to get rid of him? I've always thought that the reason why you two would fight and shit was because you two were so close, like brothers. Now I'm not so sure." Kagome said angrily.

"Kagome, my love, I only meant it…" Inuyasha's sentence got cut short. Kagome was in no mood to hear what she believed were lies.

"Save it, I don't want to hear it." Kagome said pissed.

"But Kagome…"

"Sit boy! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!" Kagome yelled angry beyond belief.

Inuyasha went face first to the ground over, and over, and over again. It seemed that no matter what he would do or say, today was not his lucky day. Kagome was just not in a good mood, but she never really had days that she was in a good mood while she was pregnant, not one.

Inuyasha decided to let Miroku handle telling the women about the plans to move. If Kagome hated the idea he didn't want her to tell him to "sit", Kagome had done that enough for one day. When Inuyasha thought it was a good time to tell the girls about that plan, Inuyasha nodded to Miroku, and then he began.

"When Inuyasha and I were getting you food we decided on something that we hope that both of you want also." Miroku began. "We have enough money to buy a small house in a nearby village, plus five months of food."

"That's a really good idea. I just can't believe that Inuyasha helped you come up with it." Sango said. "What do you think of it Kagome?"

"I really like it to…" Kagome's sentence got cut short by a skinny three foot child running up to her giving her a hug.

"Mommy! Mommy, mommy, mommy!" Meeka said after waking up from her afternoon nap and giving her mother a hug. "I missed you mommy!"

"I missed you too Meeka. But you're up now so everything's fine. How would you like to live in a house?" Kagome asked her two year old daughter.

"House? What's house?" Meeka asked her mother confused.

"A house is a place where people live that they can store food and be protected by whatever weather comes their way. There are beds in a house and everything that a person could need, especially a nice hot shower every once and a while." Kagome found herself daydreaming about the last time she was able to take a nice hot shower. "I can't believe it's been that long. Almost two months. I really need one too, that would definitely make me feel sexy, and actually want Inuyasha to have all his attention on me." "Let's move!" Kagome proclaimed once she snapped out of her daydream. "I don't care if it's today, I don't care if it's tomorrow, all I care about is that it's soon. I really need a hot shower." Kagome whined.

"Okay, then it's settled then. In the morning we will move, until then, we rest." Inuyasha said stretching.

"Tomorrow? Why not today?" Kagome whined.

"Kagome, we need our rest…"

"I don't care Inuyasha. Do you want me to make you… you know… s-i-t?"

"No Kagome, anything but that." Inuyasha begged.

"Then we move today." Kagome said with a smile.

"Mommy, why do you have to be mean to daddy like that?" Meeka said pulling on Kagome's kimono.

"What do you mean Meeka?" Kagome questioned her daughter.

"I know what s-i-t- spells." Meeka said proud of herself.

"You do? And what does it spell?" Kagome said in a sweet voice that could make almost any body puke.

"It spells sit." Meeka said with a smile on her face.

"That's right, it does spell sit." Kagome said with a smile on her face realizing what she just did.

Without warning, Inuyasha went face first into the ground. "Kagome, what was that for?" He questioned his wife.

"What? I was just telling Meeka that she was right. That s-i-t does spell the word sit." Kagome said once again with a smile on her face.

Once again Inuyasha went face first into the ground. "Kagome, just because you're pregnant with our second child doesn't mean that I can be used for your amusement. Kaede made a mistake intrusting you with these sacred beads." Inuyasha said angrily.

"But I… I…" Kagome said speechless.

"Save it Kagome, I'm going for a walk." Inuyasha then got up and left. He had no idea how much he just hurt his wife, and he didn't want to know, he couldn't honestly have cared less. Kagome had pushed his buttons for the last time.

"Inuyasha, wait! Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out after him hoping that he would stop, but Inuyasha just continued. "What have I done Sango, what have I done? All my fun and games have just pissed him off so much that he no longer wishes to speak to me. I think we've finally had it, I think we're done." Kagome said crying on her best friend's shoulder.

"Kagome, don't put yourself down, you're not the one to blame here. Inuyasha just doesn't know how it is being a pregnant woman. If men could get pregnant too, Inuyasha would understand how difficult being pregnant actually is." Sango's idea made Miroku shiver in fear. "What? Don't you like that idea Miroku? Just knowing that not only the baby's head, but it's entire body is coming out of the only hole it can, stretching it, pulling it, making it tear?" Miroku fainted. "I guess Miroku doesn't like that idea." Sango said making both the girls laugh.

"Mommy, where is daddy going?" Meeka asked her mother about to cry.

"I'm sorry Meeka, but I don't know where daddy's going." Kagome said to her daughter sympathetically. Out of both parents, Meeka had a closer bond with Inuyasha than she had with Kagome. This puzzled her. When Kagome was a child she was always closer with her mother than anyone. Sure her father wasn't around, but Kagome always thought regardless she would have always been close to her mother.

"You want to go after him don't you Kagome?" Sango asked Kagome, Kagome just nodded her head. "Then go after him girl. I'll watch Meeka for you, and you know that Shippo will play with her, after all they're like best friends." Sango said with a smile.

"Thanks Sango, you're a life saver. I should be back before sunset." Kagome turned to her daughter. "Meeka, I love you. I'm going to find daddy then I'll be right back. I promise." Kagome gave Meeka a kiss and a hug, then set out to look for Inuyasha.

Two hours later:

"Inuyasha, what are you doing back here? Where's Kagome?" Sango asked Inuyasha once he had returned.

"What do you mean where's Kagome? I thought she was here with you." Inuyasha said worried.

"No, she's not. After you left she went out in search for you. She's so worried that everything's going to end, that you guys' relationship is going to end." Sango said getting worried herself.

"We have to find her." Inuyasha said, and not a moment too soon. Sango, Inuyasha, Shippo, and Meeka, all heard Kagome yell "Inuyasha! Where are you!", and then her scream.

"I'll be right back, keep an eye on everything!" Inuyasha said before following the direction where Kagome's scream came from.

Inuyasha looked for about a half an hour, until he came to Kagome's body lying on the ground. He didn't know what had happened, he didn't even know if anyone was near when this happened. When all these thoughts of what happened and who would have done it was going through his mind, Kikyou came up behind him.

"I know what happened, but it will cost you." Kikyou said behind Inuyasha.

"Kikyou, if you did this I will kill you with my bare hands." Inuyasha said growling.

"Inuyasha, how can you honestly kill someone that had already died?" Kikyou asked him with a smirk on her face.

"It's quite easy actually. Just push them back to the pits of hell from which they came!" Inuyasha yelled, causing Kagome to wake up a bit.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked not sure of where she was or how she got there.

"Shut up bitch!" Kikyou yelled. "Inuyasha doesn't love you, why do you think he left? He came to find me. And now since he has Inuyasha and I can finally make the life that we've wanted with one another for over fifty years now." Kikyou said with a smile on her face.

"Come on Inuyasha, mate with me, and I'll be sure to spare Kagome and her unborn child's lives." Kikyou said like Inuyasha had no other choice but to agree to her terms or watch the person that he loved more than anything die by Kikyou's hands.

"How about if you tell me what happened first, then we can mate?" Inuyasha said hoping that she would agree to his conditions.

"NO! Why should I trust you? You're nothing more than a half-demon anyways, that has nothing better to do than to scratch his ass everyday! I don't trust you, never have never will. You finally got the Shikon Jewel and Kagome wasted it on becoming a half-demon mutt just like you! You could have become such a powerful demon, just like Naraku was, but you decided against it? Why Inuyasha? Why?" Kikyou asked him.

"None of your damn business!" Inuyasha yelled at Kikyou. "Why can't you accept the fact that I don't love you and never will. Even if you would kill Kagome, that wouldn't make me love you, that would just make me hate you more. Why can't you see that Kikyou? Why can't you accept that?" Inuyasha questioned her frustrated.

"Because you're the only person that I have ever loved. Inuyasha, I was to give you those sacred beads when we first talked together. I wanted to give those to you so I could train you to no longer to any wrong. So we could be together some day."

"Well you know what Kikyou? You made one simple mistake that Kagome never made. I might be half dog demon, but that doesn't mean that you need to treat me like one. Kagome never has done that. Sure she has told me to sit when I've done something to deserve it, but she doesn't do it to train me!" Inuyasha snapped.

"But Inuyasha…"

"No, we're done here. I'm taking my wife and I'm leaving."

Inuyasha did just that. He picked up Kagome and went back to the make shift house where everyone was waiting for them to return.
