Whoops! My bad! Haven't updated in a couple months!
Okay! Please read!
At sunset on the day when the moon was new, Inuyasha led Freya into the forest, stopping her in a clearing. He looked at the sky and just as he did, his hair turned black and his ears changed to human. He turned to her and blinked his indigo eyes. "Surprised?"
She rubbed her chin. "Not really. You are half human, after all. Your powers have to wane sometime."
"So you're saying half-gods do the same thing?"
"No, because their god side is too strong to wane. But I know about youkai. They aren't as strong as we gods." She held him close. "Inuyasha, this secret I will keep to the end of my existence. Whenever that is."
He held her back, taking in her scent, which wasn't as apparent when he was human. "I'll trust you on that."
She nodded, feeling as though he was the strongest god holding her, protecting her. Yet it was the complete opposite. Unless he could be changed to a god, then she would have to protect him to his death. Which wouldn't be for at least a couple hundred years, she hoped.
They spent the whole night together, just talking. In the morning, Inuyasha changed back, and Freya called, "Koga, you can come over now, if you want."
The god appeared as if out of thin air, scowling. "Whatever you two did while I was just sitting around, I'll find out what it is."
Freya rolled her eyes. "You're such a numbskull. Why can't you just butt out for once? It's almost as if you don't have any respect for other people's privacy."
He glared at her. "If you hadn't threatened to disembowel me, I would've been watching you both the whole time. Mortal, if you did anything to her, I'll burn you to a crisp."
Inuyasha snorted. "Why would I tell you about anything we did last night? Feh. I can tell why Freya finds you so annoying. It's like your brain's broken or something whenever you're around her. You have no common sense when it comes to relationships. You're just a Lech."
Freya started to laugh. "Well put, Inuyasha. Actually, the threat I was thinking of when I glared at him was 'I'm gonna slit your stomach, take out your guts and put 'em in a bowl', but if he thought I was gonna just disembowel him, I'll let him think it." A/N: There it is. Whether it works or not is up to you!
The pair laughed together as Koga boiled at Inuyasha's mocking. He wanted to fry the disrespectful hanyou into ashes so bad, but then Freya would just ignore him for the rest of time if he did so. He could stand Freya's insults easy, since she did it all the time, and he didn't particularly care, since he thought she was still playing hard to get. But that mortal, did he not know how to respect the powers of above?
As if having had read his mind, Freya commented, "If you're pissed off by Inuyasha, don't be. He talks the same to everybody he meets. It only gets worse if he doesn't like you. He doesn't respect anyone unless he likes them. And even then, that's a precious few, myself included. You never even cared about his existence until I staked a claim that he had my heart. It's because he's competition that you can't instantly fry, isn't it?"
Koga glanced at her, as she put an arm around his rival's shoulders. He felt anger like no other that this mixed-breed mortal didn't even have to try to capture his beloved Freya's attention. All he had to do was say her name, and she would shower him with it. His hands curled into fists, feeling like he needed to burn something. Since he couldn't burn what he wanted without dire consequences, he would have to take out his anger on something else.
"Excuse me, Freya. I need to go do something."
She smirked. "I know that aura. You need to go toast something. Go incinerate some youkai, you pyromaniac."
Koga vanished, and Inuyasha grinned. "He's gone at last. One night isn't long enough for me to have some alone time with you."
"I know. Inuyasha, for the last seven months, I've been wondering something. When you first met Koga, you said a name I've never heard before. 'Sesshomaru'. Does Koga's appearance or mannerisms remind you of this person?"
"You never met him, now I remember. I had to fight him to get this sword I'm wearing, Tetsusaiga. Only Kagome was there at the time, so she'd be the only one who would've had the same reaction to him. He even wears the same clothes and armor. But his attitude is totally flipped. Is he a womanizer?"
"The only woman he's ever gone after is me. I remember he was chasing me for hundreds of years before I fell to Earth. I guess I got tired of him and decided it was my turn to be tested here. At least it freed me for about three years. I wonder what he did while I was gone. He seems to spend all his time just chasing me. When I returned to the heavens, I instantly resumed my hourly routine of ducking and dodging his advances."
"I'd bet that you're glad he's off your back, mostly. Now all you have to do is wait a few more months and you're free of that broken-brained pain in the butt."
She sighed. "It's not just 'a few' months. It's five. And from this point forward, you'll be seeing my body change. It might be alarming at first, but you'll get used to it."
"Freya…you're a goddess, can you see into the future?"
She snorted. "You wish. Is there a reason you asked?"
"I wanted to know if our child is going to be a boy or a girl, and what it will look like."
"Psssh. You don't need to see into the future to do that. I can tell by the aura that this baby is…hmmm…this is confusing. I've never had problems with feeling the gender of an individual before. I wonder…"
"You can tell by just sensing the aura of the person whether they're male or female?"
"Yes. But for some reason, I can't seem to tell whether this baby is a boy or a girl. Maybe it hasn't decided yet. God infants can sometimes take up to the birth to decide what their gender will be. Kinda strange, isn't it?"
Inuyasha stared at his lover. "You're just plain strange. I always seem to learn something new about you, it doesn't matter how long I talk to you or whatever."
"Inuyasha, love, I know it isn't very easy to wait this long for our baby to be born, but there's nothing that can be done except wait. Not unless I have a problem in my last few months and have it early, which is a very rare occurrence among pregnant goddesses."
"If I know you and how tough and stubborn you are, this kid is going to be just the same. It won't be born until the time is over."
She leaned onto his shoulder, and he put an arm around hers. "It's just so peaceful when Koga isn't around. I feel like he's smothering me whenever he approaches, he's just so insistent on staying close to me and keeping an eye on you so you don't do anything 'inappropriate'."
"Feh. I don't have to do anything of the sort with you to know that we love each other, though it would be fun to flirt every once in a while."
He winced, then looked at her accusingly. "You just pinched my butt, didn't you?"
She feigned innocence. "Me? Why would I do something like that? That would be…inappropriate."
He smirked, then grabbed her around the waist and looking deep into her eyes. He chuckled as he saw the playfulness in her eyes. "I'm gonna get you back for pinching my butt."
She just smiled. "Oh, please punish me, Inuyasha-koi."
He captured her lips in a ferocious kiss, holding her close. His claws sank through her clothing, scraping the skin underneath. His fangs grazed her lips, and a trickle of blood ran down her chin from the corner of her mouth.
Koga decided to return at this time, and his eyes widened, when he saw the pair passionately kissing, but what really set him off was that blood was flowing from Freya's mouth. The edge he'd just taken off by torching all the youkai in the area was brought back tenfold, fire appearing in his raised palm, his eyes burning in jealousy and hatred.
"Stop kissing Freya, you half-breed mortal!" he shouted, throwing the fireball at him.
Inuyasha parted from Freya to block the flames with his fire-proof haori. He smirked, then commented, "You can't seem to leave us alone for more than five minutes. What'd I do this time, idiot? You're more pissed than normal."
Freya wiped the blood off her mouth and sent a death glare at Koga. "It doesn't matter, because I can feel the intense jealousy and hatred radiating off him in waves. He just wanted to get me to do that too, to him. He won't get me to kiss him. That's something only you get, Inuyasha."
"WHY WAS SHE BLEEDING?! WERE YOU SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF HER?!" Koga exploded, losing his cool completely.
Inuyasha glared at his nemesis. "I bit her mouth a little while we were kissing. She's used to that. It's kinda disturbing to see it the first time, if you don't know anything about youkai. You're so stupid. 'Sucking the life out of her', what kind of babbling is that?"
Freya shrugged. "How can you suck life out of a goddess? We have immortality, so it's literally impossible. Koga, you're such a lame-brain."
Koga calmed, but still glared at Inuyasha the rest of the day, death written all over his face. Freya ignored him and kept Inuyasha in her sights the whole time.
When Freya was in her last month of pregnancy, she felt so heavy that she couldn't walk at all.
"Freya, love, I'll gladly carry you wherever you desire," Koga offered, smiling.
"You touch me, I'll do horrible things to you, like rearrange your face," she snarled, crossing her arms as best she could over her huge stomach.
Inuyasha lifted her, then fell down as if he'd been handed a huge boulder to carry. "What the—"
Koga smirked, and Freya sighed. She informed, "Inuyasha, you can't carry me. It's about the same as trying to lift a mountain. You might be strong, but my weight right now isn't anything like you're used to."
He strained, but couldn't get her even an inch off the ground. "Dammit! You could've told me this earlier! What're we going to do when you go into labor?!"
Her eyes lit up. "I want you to be the first to see our child."
"But don't you want Kaede or somebody else to deliver it?"
She shook her head. "I can guide you through it. It isn't too hard."
Koga interrupted their conversation. "Don't you think it better that we have a more comfortable setting instead of by the forest, on the ground?"
Freya sighed. "Fine. Koga, carry me to Kaede's." She pointed at him. "If you so much as hold me wrong, I'll beat you so bad that your mother would not recognize you."
He grinned and lifted her as if she was a feather. Inuyasha glared at the god, jealousy flaring in his gaze. "Jealous that I'm holding her, half-breed mortal?"
"Feh. Yeah right. I just wish that I was that strong. Maybe I'll become a god someday, and be stronger than you."
"Dream on, mortal. You'll never become a god, because you don't know how."
Freya snickered. "But I could always teach him the ritual of changing a mortal into a god."
"How did you learn that? It's a secret ritual, so there aren't too many gods."
She smirked. "Don't you wish that I would tell you. Then you'd make sure that I wouldn't do it. Too bad, if I give birth to a healthy half-god, then Inuyasha gets immortality."
Koga gave a poisonous glare to Inuyasha, who grinned. "Heh. I guess I can take you up on the contest of being the most powerful."
"You'd so get your butt handed to you," Freya added, breaking down into a fit of giggles.
Koga stepped into Kaede's house, and the older woman looked up. "Inuyasha, I see that you've come with Freya and her companion. I didn't catch your name, young man."
Koga sneered and set Freya down on the closest futon, which had been prepared for her. He then sat in a corner, scowling. Kaede looked to Freya. "He seems to be in an ill-mannered mood, Freya. What ails him so?"
Freya started to giggle again at the thought. "He's just mad because he's losing to a mere mortal in both power and love."
Inuyasha lounged next to her, the grin still on his face. "The moron doesn't know what's coming for him."
Kaede knelt next to the goddess. "I see. Would you be reaching the time of bearing your child?"
Freya nodded. "Yes. Just a few days more."
"Ah, if I'm right, the night when the moon is new."
Inuyasha's ears twitched, but he said nothing.
"Yes. I do believe that Inuyasha will be out that night. I just hope that the baby will be patient and wait till the morning after. I want it to see its father as soon as it's born."
No one saw Koga's wicked grin.
Oooooh, he's planning something.
