Inuyasha woke up to bright lights hitting his face. He sat up, soaking in his surroundings. He was loged high in the sacred tree's canopy, sitting next to a very naked, and very bruised Kagome. Oh my God. We didn't. he thought, trying to remember what happened last night.
He looked closer at his mate, horrified. She was litteraly covered in purple bruises. Claw marks covered her arms and back, but what really caught his attention were the numerous fang marks on her neck and breasts. He prayed this wasn't his doing, but he knew it was. His scent was everywhere on her. He inched closer to her, barely shaking her.
"Kagome? . . . Wake up, Mate. . ."
Kagome awoke, gasped, then stiffened at the white hot pain she felt all over her body. She writhed around, unable to find comfort.
"Mate. . . I'm so sorry, this wasn't supposed to happen, I don't even remember doing this. . . " Inuyasha said, eyes begging for forgivness. He searched Kagome's face, for anger, pain, anything. A small smile crept at the corners of her mouth.
"Kagome, this is wrong. WHY are you smiling?"
She only closed her eyes and rubbed her belly, already dreaming of a puppy-eared baby.
"KaGOme! I can't believe you . . . You do realize what just happened? What you're going to have to go through? What you'll have t-"
"Shut up, Inuyasha. I want this. I can handle it. You'll see, eventually."
He frowned deeply at the thought of his wife carrying a demon inside of her. She was going to be in serious pain, and there's nothing he could do. She was too stubborn to listen to him. She wanted this baby, and nothing could stop her from having it. He pulled his wounded mate into his arms and rested his head ontop of hers.
"It'll be okay, I promise." Kagome reassured him, rubbing his hand.
Inuyasha only held her tighter, hoping she was right.
