It's been at least three months since I learned Kagome was expecting. She stays home most of the time saying that her morning sickness is too much to handle. Morning sickness? Ugh! I don't even know what that means! Kaede keeps a sharp eye on her when she's around and asks me to call her if there's anything different. I'm worried… will she be able to deliver the offspring of a half-demon?
"Inuyasha?" "Oh, Kaede. I'm sorry, I didn't see you." "What's wrong, Inuyasha? It's not like you to think so hard. Is everything alright?" She butts too much in my business… wait. Think too hard? Was I making a weird face? "I'm worried about Kagome… she's so sick all the time…" Kaede let out a loud laugh as if making fun of me. "Don't you worry, Inuyasha. Morning sickness is a common thing among pregnant women! Especially when she's expecting a human baby." "What?!" I let my thoughts slip my mouth without realizing it. "Yes, yes. Didn't she tell you?"
Human baby? "But… but how do you know that, Kaede?" Kaede closed her eye as if she was buried deep in her thoughts. "In my young years as a priestess, a woman collapsed just outside of the village. She was expecting the baby of a tiger demon and I could feel her demonic presence even inside of her mother's womb…" "Where're you going with this, Kaede? Don't waste my time! Kagome is waiting for me." "You're always so impatient, Inuyasha. Stop interrupting the elderly!" "Keh!" "Where was I? Ah, right! Inuyasha, I don't feel any demonic presence…" Huh?
I inch closer to Kaede as to hear her more clearly. "Kaede. What are you saying?" "Hush, Inuyasha, and let me finish! What I mean is that, even if we won't know for sure until the baby is born, there could be the possibility of it being a human child… Now that you know this, Inuyasha, you might want to talk with Kagome and… What?! He's gone."
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
After I heard that he could be human, I rushed back to the hut not even listening to whatever else Kaede had to say. Kagome~! Why didn't you tell me this before! As I see the hut getting closer, I notice that Kagome was making her way there too carrying a tub full of water. "What are you doing, stupid?! You're going to hurt yourself!" "Inuyasha! Aren't you home early? And let me be! I can carry water if I so please!" *bonk* I knock Kagome slightly on her head. "Not in your state you can't. Give me that and go lay down." I yank the tub from Kagome's hands dropping a small amount on the floor. "I'm tired of laying down in bed all day. I wanted to do something around the house." She's pouting… that's not going to work with me… not today at least.
I put the tub down near the entrance of the hut before I start talking. "Kagome. Tell me something. You knew our child could be human?" "What?" "Don't you 'what' me right now. Answer me, Kagome. You can't keep everything a secret anymore. We've been married for five years, woman!" "I didn't tell you because I knew how you would react!" "This is my child too, Kagome! I have to know these things! I want to be prepared!" "Prepared for what?!" Crap… "I… Shit…" "Go on! Say it!" "*sigh* I wasn't intending for you to know about this until he was born… I gave Totosai one of my fangs… he's making a spear for him to use when he's older… it was supposed to be a surprise." "But… but why Inuyasha?" "I want my children to be able to take care of themselves… unlike me, where I had to fight my way through life and that I had to wait until after I met you to get Tessaiga, I want them to have something after they're born, something that they can train with and will grow with them… I don't want them to suffer the same misfortune I had while I was growing up." "Inuyasha…"
