Chapter 10: Crashing Down
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha. All credits of InuYasha go to Rumiko Takahashi. OOC characters are created by me though ^^ Yay! I get some credit!
Inuyasha stretched widely as he awakens from another sleep without Kagome. It had been about 3 weeks since Kagome hasn't returned and for once everything in his life was going well. He did miss her at times, but not really. He only missed the Kagome she was before she turned into a bitch. He stood quickly and instantly regretted it. He felt dizzy and his stomach felt queasy.
"Inuyasha? Are you okay?" Miroku asks.
"Yeah I'm fine. I guess I just ate something bad. I'll be back." Inuyasha quickly said as he rushed out the room and to the bushes to empty out is already empty stomach.
"What's wrong with Inuyasha?" Shippo asked as he hopped onto Miroku's shoulder. For about the last two weeks, just about every morning Inuyasha leaves the hut in a hurry to throw up. He had no idea what was going on with his friend. Now that he thought about it, his scent changed too when this all started to occur.
"I don't know Shippo, maybe we should get him to Kaede just to make sure if there is anything wrong."
"Yeah. That seems like the best answer now." Shippo said just as Inuyasha walked back inside looking a little pale.
"Inuyasha. Are you okay?"
Inuyasha looked at Miroku before sighing softly. "Yeah I'm good. Just been feeling out of it is all."
"Come on lets go to Kaede. She probably has some medicine that can get rid of your sickness."
Inuyasha nodded his head and wrapped his arm around Miroku's shoulders for support. They made their way to Kaede's hut and walked inside to see she was talking with Sango. Kirara looked up at Inuyasha and instantly removed herself from Sango's side to rub against Inuyasha. The neko transformed into her bigger form before laying down on the ground so Inuyasha could lean against her.
Inuyasha smiled at the neko as he sat down and leaned against her soft fur. Kirara knew Inuyasha was going through some special pain and purred softly to help soothes Inuyasha's stomach. Inuyasha sighed softly and snuggled into her warmth giving off a purr of his own.
"What's wrong with Inuyasha?" Sango asked looking at Inuyasha and Kirara with an adorable yet worried face.
"Inuyasha threw up again and we are here to see if Kaede can give him anything to calm his stomach."
Kaede nodded softly and moved over to Inuyasha slowly. There was only so much energy she can exert before she is exhausted. Kaede sat down in front of the inu hanyou and went through her normal check up with patients. Kaede pressed a hand against his forehead to see that it was a little warm, but not scorching hot. His face was a little red and he was panting softly. Kaede concentrated on her hand and smiled when it glowed pink from her miko reiki.
Kaede ran her hand in front of Inuyasha's face and began doing a body check on him. She stopped suddenly when she felt a weird response from his stomach. Her eyes widened and she let go of a gasp. Inuyasha caught onto her shocked expression and immediately got nervous.
"Kaede? What's wrong? I'm dying aren't I?"
Kaede shook her head before looking into his eyes. "How long have ye been having this sickness child?"
"About two or three weeks."
Kaede smiled softly and pressed her palm against his stomach. She never heard of this happening before, but here it was in front of her. "Inuyasha. It seems that ye are pregnant."
". . . . WHAAAAAAT?!" Everyone else other than Kaede screamed.
"How can I be pregnant?! I'm a guy!" Inuyasha screamed as he stood up quickly on swaying feet. Thankfully Kirara stood up with him and caught him before he could fall. "Thanks Kirara."
"Child. It is true that ye are pregnant. Although I have never seen it with my eye before in my life, but I know when someone is pregnant. I've dealt with many cases and ye are having the same symptoms a female would. Morning sickness. Feeling tired. Lost appetite. These are all symptoms that a female with child would have."
"Inuyasha pregnant? Is that why he smells so funny? It's because he's pregnant?" Shippo asked as he his tail twitched.
"Well I wouldn't know by smell since I'm human, but that could be another case Shippo. Believe it or not Inuyasha. Ye are pregnant."
"What the fuck Kaede?! There has to be another reason! I can't get pregnant!" Inuyasha said his anger never simmering.
"Let me ask you one question Inuyasha. Have ye ever slept with a man in the past month?"
"No I-" Inuyasha stopped suddenly at the memory of him waking up naked with an equally naked Sesshomaru. Then he remembered Sesshomaru's next words. :Inuyasha if you are wondering why we are both naked then there is a simple answer to this. We had sex.: Inuyasha screamed before covering his mouth. The child...was Sesshomaru's?!
Inuyasha eyes rolled to the back of his head as he passed out from the stress. Kirara couldn't hold Inuyasha up at the position she was in so she laid down with Inuyasha's unconscious form.
Sango looked at Inuyasha with starry eyes. Yeah it was weird for Inuyasha to be pregnant, but it was so adorable. Inuyasha is pregnant! She squealed as she rubbed his ears softly. It will be so cute having a little Inuyasha running around. He was just curious to know who the father is. It wouldn't matter though. If Inuyasha was here alone then it was okay to say that the father didn't care. That's fine though. They will all help Inuyasha through this ordeal. "Miroku. Help me carry Inuyasha back to our hut. He'll need someone to console him when he awakens." Miroku nodded and picked Inuyasha up with Sango and very carefully brought him to their hut.
Inuyasha woke up a little while later with a small headache. He was still leaning on Kirara. "What happened?" He asked before feeling a twinge of pain coming from his stomach. He looked down at his stomach and couldn't help a small smile. 'Oh yeah. I'm carrying Sesshomaru's child.' He thought as he rubbed his hand against his stomach.
"Inuyasha. You are awake." This coming from Sango. She was the only one in the hut since Miroku had a job to do in another village and Shippo went with him. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling pretty good. Just a little queasy."
"So...who's the father? Do you know who he is?"
Inuyasha turned away and lowered his ears. How would Sango react to know that the kid belonged to Sesshomaru? He sighed softly as he looked down. "The pup...belongs to Sesshomaru." He said and immediately covered himself from Sango's words as if they would form into daggers and stab him repeatedly.
"Sesshomaru? Oh so that explains why he was always around. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She said with a smile.
"Well I didn't think I had to...until now. I only just found out that I'm pregnant by the guy."
"Are you going to tell him?"
"I can't hide it from him. He'll smell me as soon as he comes back. Besides, he has the right to know. I'll let him know when he comes back."
"He's coming back for you! That is soo sweet. I didn't know that Sesshomaru actually cared for you."
"Yeah it seems that he does now. But don't let him know that. He still wants to put on this tough guy look to people other than me. So shhh." He said with a smirk before they both started to laugh.
"So do you know when he is coming back?"
"Well he went to his castle to find a way to get rid of these damn subjugation beads. He said it will take some time, but he'll be back once he finds a solution."
"That's good. Well until then we should get you some things for the baby."
"Pup"
"Yeah...pup. Sorry its going to take me sometime before I get used to that." She said chuckling softly. She pulled Inuyasha onto his feet and walked out the hut to go to the village's black market. This will be an interesting couple of months.
Western Palace
Sesshomaru was panting heavily as he was trying to master this spell that would break through miko's spells. He thought it was going to be easy, but it was proving to be rather difficult. He could break through weak miko spells, but the stronger ones seemed impossible. Sesshomaru held his hand out as his hand glowed a lavender color. Chiyoko looked at Sesshomaru before rolling her eyes. He had been training for about two months now and still little success. Chiyoko didn't think it was that hard to master this technique, but then again she was a sorceress. Spells came to her naturally.
"Alright Sesshomaru. It doesn't seem like you are going as fast as I thought you would. So in order to progress your training, I will put you under the same spell your brother is under. Since for some odd reason you want to free him of those beads." She said as she whirled her wand around. A necklace appeared around Sesshomaru's neck and Sesshomaru growled out softly.
"I will easily overcome this. I just need more time." He said as he looked away from her. Sesshomaru never told her the reason to why he wanted to help his brother. It was none of her business anyway. She will find out later when the time comes, but he didn't want to present Inuyasha as his future mate when he was literally tied to another. It would look bad for Inuyasha, himself, his mother and the western lands.
"I'm sure you will. Sit boy." She said and watched as he crashed into the earth. Chiyoko knew she was playing with fire, but this was the quickest way to get him to learn the spell.
Sesshomaru pulled himself up looking at her with red eyes as he began snarling at her. "How dare you command this Sess-"
"Sit boy." Chiyoko winced as he crashed into the ground again. "Sesshomaru you have to understand. This is the quickest way for you to learn how to break out of it. The more irritated you are the more you want to break out of it. Now concentrate! SIT BOY!"
Sesshomaru growled softy. When he recovered, he focused on concentrating on the beads. He had to get them off. The longer he took, the more sit commands were coming his way. Now he knew how Inuyasha felt and was now even more determined of getting the damn beads off of both of them. Besides he couldn't shake off this feeling that he was receiving. It was a weird subtle feeling that he should be back with Inuyasha. Sesshomaru shook that feeling away and concentrated on the beads.
Kaede's Village
Inuyasha was wobbling side to side as he made his way into Sango's home. Inuyasha was now five months pregnant and very huge compared to a female with child at this stage.
"Sango, Miroku! I'm here!" He yelled. Sango came out immediately and hugged him softly. "Hey Inuyasha! Wow! You are so big. I know I'm with you every day, but it still amazes me that you are pregnant."
"Indeed I have to agree with you Sango." Miroku said as he wrapped his arm around Sango's waist as he high fived Inuyasha. Inuyasha smiled at the kind gesture that they began one day when Inuyasha was flipping shit about being treated like a female. "You look like you are about to pop for someone who is only 5 months."
"Or maybe its because there is more than one in there!" Sango squealed out as she hopped up and down.
"Oh please don't wish that upon me. I don't even know how to raise one pup, let alone three of them." Inuyasha said as he felt a familiar aura. It was Sesshomaru and his beast was whining inside. He missed his alpha and so did Inuyasha. It's been awhile since he saw him. It's been what about five months now. He really needed this. "Sesshomaru's here." He said as he walked outside to meet him. Inuyasha wanted to stay inside, but with his beast hollering on the inside he didn't think that was possible.
Sesshomaru landed down gracefully onto the ground to see Inuyasha coming towards him. His eyes were closed as he inhaled his future mate's scent only to smell something was off about it. He opened his eyes and it went straight to his belly. Sesshomaru just looked up to Inuyasha's eyes and saw happiness in them. "Is the pup...mine?" He asked hoping that Inuyasha would say yes.
Inuyasha scoffed and glared at him. "Of course its yours! Why would it be anyone else's?"
Sesshomaru was about to respond when he looked at Sango and Miroku shaking their heads quickly, while Shippo was mouthing out 'Say Sorry'. "Um...sorry?"
Inuyasha smiled up at him. He grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and placed it on his stomach. "This is ours Sesshomaru. This is our pup." Sesshomaru felt a little kick against his palm and smiled softly. His own beast purring in delight at his new heir. Sesshomaru knelt down and placed kisses and licks against Inuyasha's stomach. He didn't know why he felt so affectionate, but he couldn't help it. It was instinct and for once he wasn't going to fight against it. "So did you ever find a way to get these beads off?"
Sesshomaru stood up and nodded. "Yes. It took a long time and during that time I knew exactly how you felt about those beads. I don't know how you did it for so long. You are stronger than me to deal with that for so long." He said with a frown as he remembered all the times he was sat into the ground. He had to pay thousands to fix the floors in his home from the sit commands. Then he smiled softly at the memory of pummeling Chiyoko once he broke the spell. "Let's get these beads off."
Inuyasha smiled and nodded as Sesshomaru held a hand up. It glowed a dark purple as he held it in front of the beads. The beads began trembling under the pressure as it was about to crack into pieces. Then a sudden yell was heard.
"SIT BOY!"
Sesshomaru watched in horror as Inuyasha slammed face down in the ground. It felt like everything that he worked so hard for, that he loved so very much was crashing in front of him. Sesshomaru watched as Inuyasha's stomach smashed into the hard ground below. Sesshomaru pupil's shrunk as he knelt down beside Inuyasha whimpering. He didn't know what to do. He sniffed the air and could smell blood. Inuyasha's blood. Sesshomaru's beast forced itself out and pulled Inuyasha into his chest.
Sesshomaru licked his face, but there was no reaction from the hanyou. "Ototou..."
