Chapter X: Meminerunt omnia amantes
(Latin To English: Lovers remember everything)
Sesshomaru spoke with the nurse behind the desk, promptly asking when his brother's mate was to be release; of course he said this in other words, but the meaning was the same.
The nurse had paged the doctor and he'd arrived not one minute later.
"Can I help you?" The young man questioned the young lord. The young man had been the one to enter Kagome's room earlier, so he knew she'd awoken and was doing much better.
"I wish to know when my brother's wife is to be released," Sesshomaru stated calmly.
"From what I can see," The doctor replied, "she's fit to leave now if she feels up to it."
"Very well," The young lord said to the man before him.
"You just need to have your brother fill out the paper work," The doctor added.
"I will take care of that," Sesshomaru replied, taking the small stack of paper the doctor had handed him and made his way back to the miko's room.
Knocking gently on the door, receiving a "come in," the demon entered, shutting the door behind him.
The couple was sitting atop the miko's bed, InuYasha behind with the young woman in his lap. The two looked up as the young lord entered.
"Hello again Sesshomaru," Kagome greeted lightly, turning her deep hazel eyes towards the man.
Nodding the man looked behind the young woman to his brother, "Your mate should get dressed if she wishes to leave."
"We can go then?" InuYasha questioned, amber meeting gold.
"Yes, the doctor says she's fit enough to leave," Sesshomaru replied, "However I request that you take her to see Chiri tomorrow in order to get your pup checked out."
"I under stand," InuYasha said, giving the young woman sitting in his lap a gentle hug, "We'll get ready now then."
"Fine." Sesshomaru replied, turning and leaving the room to make his way back to his seat in the waiting room. Sitting down, he began work on the small stack of paper work he was to fill out.
"What did I miss?" Came the female voice from the young Northern lord's lap as his mate awoke with a yawn, rubbing her grey eyes to remove the sleep that had collected in them.
"Nothing much," Koji replied, looking down at the young woman waking in his lap, "Kagome's awake though."
"That's good to hear," She replied, looking around, "Every one else asleep?"
"Not me Artemis," Came Kane's response from the other side of the young woman's mate, the lord's own mate starting to awake.
"Do you all have to be so noisy?" Bakari questioned, sitting up and looking around, "Honestly."
"Sorry," Kane said softly, snaking an arm around his mate and resting it on her waist, the young hanyou resting her head on her mate's shoulder.
"You're forgiven," Bakari replied.
"Well it seems everything turned out for the best," came the soft voice of the an across from the rulers that had awoken, the man's ginger eyes scanning over the people across from him.
"Not quite," Sesshomaru replied, "Naraku still got away and the hanyou's mate was injured."
"But she's all right isn't she?" The man questioned.
"The matter is Soshi," Came the groggy voice of the young woman resting on the man's shoulder, "She was injured. And even more she was injured because she'd come to save us."
"You're right Ally," Soshi replied, tightening his grip on the young woman.
The group continued their small conversations, trying not to awake the others that were currently still sleeping.
Not too much later, the waiting room doors burst open and a young man stood in the door frame, panting and out of breath.
As the door burst open, the rest of the group awoke.
The slayer resting on the monk's shoulder shot up taking a defensive position, startled by the sudden noise. The monk's violet eyes scanned the area, looking around to see what had made the commotion.
The twin tailed cat simply looked up, her large red eyes taking one look at the man and went back to sleep next to the kitsune who'd remained; surprisingly, asleep through the whole ordeal.
The young heir to the west awoke with a start, awaking the young demon she rested on. She looked around, alarmed by the sudden noise as everyone else was.
"We came as soon as we heard," The man said, breathing hard.
"Figured you would be here sooner Kisho," Kane said from his seat, eyeing the young man with amusement.
"Well we only had to fly over the Pacific Ocean, you know, no big deal," The man replied sarcastically. The man stood up strait, having regained the much needed air into his lungs. He was tall, about five inches shorter that the top of the door frame. His florescent eyes scanned the room, his short golden hair moving slightly from the action.
"Sorry," Kisho apologized to the group he'd awoken.
"Wait a moment," Bakari said, directing her comment to the young man, "we?"
Nodding, the young man walked across the room to sit next to the Eastern rulers, "Yeah, Yumiko picked me up from work and we hopped on a plane over here. We would have been here sooner but we had to wait for them to unload her bike."
Kisho rubbed the bridge of his nose, "That woman refuses to leave that thing anywhere."
"Lets just say, Kisho," Artemis told the young man, "That that bike has been fitted with, certain advancements that if it got into the wrong hands it would not be good."
The young man simply stared at the woman, "What do you mean?"
"It's fitted with weapons, Kisho," Koji answered, bluntly, "BIG ones."
"Oh, that makes sense," The man replied.
"You're an idiot!" Came the yell from the door frame as a young woman stood there, her silver hair blowing around her from having to run as fast as she did, "What the hell were you thinking?"
"Well you said I needed to hurry, Yumiko," Kisho responded from his seat, looking up at the infuriated woman.
"I didn't mean jump off the back of my bike!" Yumiko shouted, her grey eyes flashing crimson.
"That's enough dear," Artemis said softly, looking towards the young woman standing in the door way, "Come over here and sit down."
The young woman walked over towards where the young man had taken his seat, glared at him and sat down, hitting his arm hard in the process.
"Feel better?" Kisho questioned, rubbing his now bruising limb.
"Much," Yumiko replied, smiling slightly.
"Did I miss something?" Mia inquired, looking towards the couple that had entered the room.
"The idiot here jumped off my bike right as I passed the front doors," Yumiko explained, "Didn't even wait for me to stop."
Sesshomaru just started at the couple sitting down the row from him, after a few moments he lightly coughed.
"Oh, you haven't met them yet have you Sesshomaru?" Kane questioned, looking towards the young lord.
"That is Kisho," Kane explained, point towards the young man, "My and Bakari's son."
"And that is Yumiko," Artemis continued, pointing towards the young woman, "She's my and Koji's daughter."
"Pleasure to meet you Lord Sesshomaru," The two said in unison.
Nodding his head in understanding the young lord stood up and handed the nurse the stack of paper, the young woman currently recovering from the sudden out burst and commotion in the waiting room.
"Are we having a party in here or something?" Came the voice of the female standing in the opposite doorway, her mate wrapping his arms tightly around her waist, the hall behind them leading towards the patient's rooms.
The couple watched as the young lord left the room, closing the door behind him. They had just finished the meal the nurse had brought in. The young woman had returned a few moments after to replace the young woman's IV. After talking with the young woman's doctor, the nurse had removed the IV and taken the equipment that accompanied it out of the room.
The hanyou stood, moving towards a bag next to the door. Picking it up he walked back over towards the bed and handed the object to the young woman, "Here, Ally went back to your apartment and grabbed these for you, seeing as your other clothes were bloody."
"Thank you," Kagome said, taking the small bag from the man before here and stood up, just now noticing she was dressed in one of the hospitals white gowns.
The hanyou simply sat back on the bed and watched the young woman.
Kagome turned around and stared at the man, coughing lightly as she narrowed her eyes, "Excuse me."
"What?" InuYasha questioned, then continued jokingly, "Did you fart or something?"
"InuYasha…" Kagome said, frustration and anger in her tone, "sit."
Nothing happened.
The miko's eyes widened in shock, "You didn't…"
"Nope," The hanyou said happily, "didn't think I would either."
"Great, just great," Kagome thought to herself as she turned around and walked towards the bath room located by the door.
"Where are you going?" InuYasha called from his spot on the bed.
"I'm going to change," She replied, flicking on the light and closing the door.
Pulling out the clothes that her friend had packed for her, she noticed as two slips of paper fell out. Bending downs, thankful that the hanyou was not present to get a full blown view of her exposed backside due to the way the gowns had been designed, by men no doubt.
Standing back up, she read the first one;
Kagome, thought that these would be better than your other clothes, seeing as how they're all torn and bloody.
-Ally
Pulling out the top set of clothes, she quickly changed and folded up the hospital gown. Slipping her shoes on, she looked at her self in the mirror. Ally had picked out a pair of black jeans and her tennis shoes, packing a tank top for the young woman as well as a heavy green sweater.
Picking up the other slip of paper, the young woman read it;
Thought this might be better to wear later on…
-Ally
Curious, Kagome looked into her backpack, immediately her cheeks turned red. Her friend had so thoughtfully packed her a night gown, one of her more, intimate night gowns to be more precise.
"I'm going to kill her," Kagome whispered, closing the bag and slinging the straps of the light pack onto her shoulders.
Walking the short distance to the door, she turned the knob and exited the room, flipping off the light as she left, closing the door behind her.
The hanyou sighed, flopping back onto the bed, folding his arms behind his head he began to think.
"it's a good thing she can't sit me for a while," He thought, staring up at the ceiling, "but that means her powers are really gone. How are we going to get them back?"
The young man stayed like he was for a few minutes, completely lost in thought, trying to figure out a way they could get the young miko's powers back.
Kagome walked up to the relaxed hanyou, waving a hand in front of his face.
"InuYasha?" she asked, trying to gain the hanyou's attention.
"Huh?" InuYasha said, sitting up and looked towards he woman before him, "sorry, lost in thought."
"Unfamiliar territory?" Kagome questioned jokingly.
"Very funny," InuYasha replied sarcastically, standing up, "ready to go then?"
"Defiantly," Kagome said, hazel locking with amber as she stared up into the man's face, "where are we going?"
"Home, duh," The hanyou answered, turning the young woman around and wrapping his arms around her waist, leading her towards the door.
"I know that; I meant are we going to my apartment or Sesshomaru's house," Kagome clarified.
"Sesshomaru's probably," InuYasha replied, opening the door and pushing the young woman out gently, shutting the wooden barrier behind them.
The couple made their way down the hall way and stopped at the end, looking out into the waiting room at the large group of people now in deep conversation with each other.
"Are we having a party in here or something?" Kagome questioned, eyeing the group.
Upon hearing the young woman's voice, Shippo, Artemis, Ally, Mia and Sango all shot up to greet her.
"How are you feeling?" The slayer questioned.
"Does anything hurt?" Artemis asked, worry evident in her voice.
"I'm fine you guys, really," Kagome replied, trying to reassure her friends that she was Indeed all right.
"You better be okay," Ally said, "Because If you're lying to us, you'll be In trouble."
"I'm sure I will," Kagome said, humoring her friend's threat, "How are you?"
The young woman's violet eyes stared into her friend's brown ones, "I'm fine, Soshi came and rescued me."
"it was a team effort," The demon replied from behind the small group of girls.
Kagome looked past her friends to the people behind them, she noticed that there were at least three new people there she hadn't meet.
"Who all is here?" Kagome questioned, looking around the group.
"Over there is the man I was talking about, Soshi," Ally replied, pointing to each person in turn, "Over there next to Koji is Kisho and Yumiko. You know everyone else."
"Nice to meet you three," Kagome greeted, her gaze landing on the couple next to her friend's mate, "You know Artemis, Yumiko looks a lot like you."
"I would hope so," Artemis replied, turning and heading back to her seat, "She is my daughter after all."
"Oh," Kagome replied, pulling the hanyou with her as she made her way to get closer to the new couple, "And…Kisho was it? You're Kane and Bakari's son?"
"Yep," The young man replied, nodding his head.
"I'm Kagome," The said woman greeted, pulling her arm from her mate's embrace and extending it to the two before her, "Nice to meet you."
"Like wise," The two replied, taking the hand extended to them in turn and shook it.
"Well now that everything has been taken care of," Sesshomaru said, "I think we should get going. You all are more than welcome to stay at my house for the night, seeing as we have much to discus."
"That sounds good Sesshomaru, thank you," Miroku said, standing up and gathering the twin tail, handing her to Sango.
"I shall inform the nurse we are leaving then," Sesshomaru stated, making his way once again to the nurse's desk, talking to the young woman behind it.
"Well I'll go call for us some taxis." Koji said, looking around for a pay phone.
"I'll go get my bike and bring it around," Yumiko added, standing up and heading for the door, "Coming Kisho?"
"No way," The young man replied, "You are like a mad person on that thing."
Shrugging her shoulders, Yumiko replied, "Suit yourself."
Exiting the waiting room, the young woman headed down the hallway and towards the front exit, leaving the hospital and entering the dark parking lot in search of where she'd parked her motorcycle.
"Everything's taken care of," Sesshomaru informed, making his way to the group waiting by the door of the waiting room.
"They're sending over five taxis," Koji said, coming up to the group as well, "It may be a little cramped for some, but it beats walking."
Nodding they all made their way out of the hospital to await the arrival of the cars that would be taking them home and to the place where they knew they were safe and could rest easily.
Upon arriving at Sesshomaru's house, everyone paired off and made their way into, for most guest rooms; for the others they went into their appropriate rooms.
InuYasha carried his mate into his room, the young woman having fallen asleep on the way. Pulling back the comforter, the hanyou laid the young woman beneath the covers, quickly replacing them so she wouldn't get cold. After he was satisfied she was comfortable, the hanyou walked around the large bed and slipped in from his side.
The young man scooted closer towards Kagome, resting his head atop the young woman's, a hand drifting to lay protectively on the woman's lower abdomen where he child was.
"Inu..Yasha?" Kagome questioned softly.
"What is it?" The hanyou replied, moving away from the young woman, just enough for her to turn in his arms so she was facing him.
"I was wondering," Kagome started, looking into the man's amber eyes, "If I had my miko powers, wouldn't I hurt the baby?"
InuYasha's eyes widened, he hadn't thought of that.
"Would they hurt the pup?" He thought to himself, mulling over the possible scenarios, "Or would they accept it?"
"I don't know Kagome," He said after a few moments, "They may accept the pup, but I'm not totally sure. We'll ask Sesshomaru about it tomorrow."
Nodding, Kagome snuggled closer into the man's chest, earning his arms tightening around her waist in response.
"I was just worried I'd purify the baby," Kagome said softly, her tone laced with sadness, "I'd die before I let anything happen to it."
"What good will that do?" The hanyou questioned, his voice calm, "If you died, then how would the pup survive?"
The young woman sighed, "It was only a figure of speech."
"Well don't' say things like that," InuYasha told her, "people might take you seriously."
"Fine." Kagome agreed, a yawn escaping from her lips.
"Get some sleep wench," InuYasha said lovingly, leaning his head down to rest atop hers once more, "We've got a big day tomorrow."
With one final nod, the young woman moved as close as she could to the man and let the welcoming darkness of sleep was over her.
InuYasha remained awake for some time, thinking over what Kagome had asked.
"Even if her body accepts the pup, what will happen to her now that she's carrying a hanyou inside her?" InuYasha thought to himself, unconsciously pulling his mate closer towards him, "We'll have to wait and see I suppose."
After a long while, the amber eyes of the young hanyou closed, the troubled man entering a dreamless sleep, waiting to awake the next morning with his mate safely laying in his arms.
The young woman lay there in the large, bed; the down mattress making the sleeping arrangements all the more comfortable. She lay there, her violet eyes open, full of question, her mind running in circles trying to figure out why she'd been unable to conjure a simple weapon during the recent battle.
Turning over, she gently nudged the young man who currently held her in a tight, loving embrace as they slept.
"Soshi, are you awake?" She questioned the sleeping demon.
"I was," Soshi replied groggily, opening his ginger eyes to look at the young woman before him, "What's the matter Ally?"
"I was wondering," She began, making sure to keep her tone low as to not disturb the other demon quests, knowing full well of their heightened hearing ability, "Why was I unable to conjure a sword? I mean I was able to form a feather but what good it that?"
The man looked confused for a moment, then it dawned on him, "You mean why was I able to make a weapon and you weren't?"
Ally nodded.
"Well it's because you're not a full demon," Soshi said matter of factly.
Ally narrowed her eyes towards the young man, "So is that suppose to be a put down or something?"
"No, No it's not," Soshi responded quickly, "It's just that you don't have enough power, or should I say you do but you don't know how to use it.
"But why a feather?" Ally inquired, utterly lost.
"Because unlike me, you are unable to produce a weapon strait from thin air, so to speak anyway," Soshi replied, "You need to have something solid in order to change it."
"I get it now," Ally said happily, "Is there anyway for me to train my self to form a weapon like you do?"
"I'm afraid not," Soshi said, "But I can help you perfect your skills so you can form a weapon from your feather, if you like."
"That would be great!" Ally replied, gripping the young man tightly around his waist, "Thank you."
"Anytime," Soshi replied, tighten his grasp around the young woman, brinign her as close to him as possible, laying his head atop hers, "We'll practice tomorrow, I heard Sesshomaru saying something about a training session."
"Sounds good," Ally agreed with a yawn, "I think we should get to bed now."
"We should," Soshi agreed, closing his eyes and entering a peaceful sleep with the woman before him.
The large house occupied by only three people seemed eerily quiet, no one daring to utter a single word towards the man before the couple.
"One strike," The demon said, "two more and you're out."
"We understand Naraku," The young assassin informed, "I have come up with a plan."
"And it's fool proof," Added her companion.
"What will it require Suisei?" Naraku inquired.
A smirk formed on Suisei's face as she thought over the details to her master plan, "Only time and myself."
"See to it that you don't fail me again," Naraku warned.
"Understood," The two said in unison, bowing low towards the demon as they exited the room and retreated to their respected sleeping quarters.
"So what's the plan?" Toshi question.
"What do you get when you cross and Inu-Hanyou with a container of frozen water?" Suisei implored.
"I give up," Toshi responded, shooting his companion a confused look.
"A pup-sickle." Suisei answered, a grin spreading on her face.
"That was bad," Toshi remarked, shaking his head as he entered his room, "So bad."
