Chapter Twelve: Pups! And More Pups!
"You have a mate? Ginta." Kagome asked.
"Hai, I do and she is wonderful and all. But …us males got most of the females pupped again and most are ready to give birth." Ginta said bashful.
Kagome giggled and sighed." Well it has been a few months and an almost a few years since that last came about." Then her eyes faded with sadness within them. Ginta noticed right off the bat and wondered what happened but he could ask later, as he had Kagome soon on his back and he was running towards the cave again.
Soon they were at the cave with some wolf howling to their leader that Kagome was here. Kouga came out with his litters of pups.
Kagome counted again and noticed that they were once as more than the last time she was here.
"Kagome, please help, even the healer is pupped. She was going to help but she went into labour." Kouga told her as he helped her weapons and bag off form her back.
"Man, hot water, clean wash clothes on the double." Kagome ordered. She looked at the cubs as she smiled at them.
The older ones raced into her arms as shouted out," AUNTIE!"
Kagome laughed at them as she let each of them go. She walked towards the birthing cave as she walked into it to see more females then beds. She sighed at this as she walked out and got Kouga to get more furs to be made into beds.
This time Kagome was on her own even the ones that helped her last time were ready to give birth. Kagome got s few females to lie down again and as she went around to each female as she made sure that they were okay. Until two of them screamed in pain.
Kagome went to Sakae as she noticed she was pupped again and took a look. She nodded her head as she quickly looks at the female beside her. She was also in labour. Kagome sighed at this and the was going to be harder on her.
"Sakae your job is to breathe and push for me," Kagome said. "Now when I say push you push, when I say stop you stop and breathe in and out four times."
"Sakae now Push, push, push," Kagome yelled out at her.
Sakae push down with all her might a few more times she pushed down, until she heard "Stop" Sakae breathed in and out a few times.
"Sakae you ready," Kagome said as she was between her legs. "Push, push,"
Sakae push until she heard stop again, "I see the pups head, Sakae I need two large pushes from you now. Push"
Sakae push with all her might once again twice, until she heard a scream of tiny lungs.
Kagome placed the pup as she washed the blood and liquid off from him as she then placed him down as she went back to Sakae again as she ordered her to push as she did and two more came out fast one after the other. Kagome placed one on Sakae stomach as she quickly washed the second male pup she wrapped him up and placed him beside his older brother as she took that last pup and washed her. She cleaned up all three pups and soon had to wait until her placenta came out, then she could heal Sakae swollen vaginal canal.
Kagome went towards the second female and looked at she was trying to follow Kagome along. She took over and did the same words to her.
Minutes later, they was four new pups as she walked out with one bucket as she walked into the cave again and took the last bucket out. She came back into the cave with one new bucket as she had Ginta following her with two others. He looked into and gasped at seven new pups.
He smiled and stated," Thank you sister.'
Kagome nodded at him and she shooed him out now as she soon made sure the rest were fine until she heard three females cry in pain. "Great" Kagome muttered under her breathe. Kagome walked over to the first one that was Mae again.
"Mae your job is to breathe and push for me," Kagome said. "Now when I say push you push, when I say stop you stop and breathe in and out four times."
"Mae now Push, push, push," Kagome yelled out at her.
Mae pushes down with all her might a few more times she pushed down, until she heard "Stop" Mae breathed in and out a few times.
Kagome soon was finished with Mae as she had eight pups. As Kagome sighed loudly again and went towards the second one to see the head of the pup. She nodded as she told the female to keep pushing as she soon has a female pup into her arms that was all bloody and wet. She washed her off and then as the placenta came out. She then went towards the third one as she did the same words to her too.
After that Kagome was tired and bloody with life fluids and she looked over the rest. She got Ginta to help her with the buckets again as she and him came back into the cave to see five panting or moaning in pain.
"Kagome, I can help." Ginta replied.
"Ginta…."
"Please Kagome. I know this is hard just for you. I know what to do, can also glance in and watched how you do the labour instructions." Ginta told her.
"Fine, but don't do your mate." Kagome told him.
"Why?" He asked.
"Ginta, you will be enraged when you smell her blood." Kagome told him. "Now, let's get to work.
The two went to work as Kagome looked at each female and then told Ginta what one is really ready as she went towards the second one.
"Sakura your job is to breathe and push for me," Kagome said. "Now when I say push you push, when I say stop you stop and breathe in and out four times."
"Sakura now Push, push, push," Kagome yelled out at her.
Sakura pushes down with all her might a few more times she pushed down, until she heard "Stop" Sakura breathed in and out a few times.
Kagome soon was finished with Sakura as she had three pups. Kagome washed each one of them as she glanced at Ginta to see he was doing fine with it. He followed her lead and was now washing the pups he helped gave birth too.
Kagome then walked over to the ones that had given birth and healed them as they would need to make room for the ones that were still standing. She got Ginta to help them back into the other cave to rest more as she made her was to the third female as she noticed it was Fumi and the female beside her was Bachiko.
"You know what to do. Fumi." Kagome told her as she helped her give birth to her first litter of pups. She had six of them as Kagome washed them one after the other. Ginta came back into the cave as he took the three buckets of water and then brought new ones in.
He washed his hands and did what Kagome did a few times to the others. He smiled and then did what Kagome did. He told the female to push until he said stop.
Kagome looked at Fumi as she was looking at Ginta. "He would make a good healer too."
"Well, my normal helpers are also pupped." Kagome told her.
Then she went onto Bachiko as she needed to have her stomach cut open this time. She placed Bachiko asleep, so she wouldn't be in pain.
Kagome took a long knife and started to gently cut into Bachiko's stomach at her lower belly. Taking a breath, Kagome pulled open the hole to get it big, she infused her powers to make it very less painful and making it stay open with extra hands on it.
Breaking through the placenta, Kagome started to gently remove one pup from its mother's womb, handling it with care, she gives it to Ginta and then goes back to get the next pup from its place. Handling the pup to Ginta after he was done with the first pup, Kagome takes out another pup and waited until Ginta was ready again. Kagome looked into the opened belly again and saw two more pups, she gently pulled them both out as she hand one to Ginta and as she washed the second pup. She then made sure she gave the pup to Ginta as she cleaned and took out the placenta, Kagome heals the cut and inside too. Kagome placed her hands on Bachiko's forehead and chanted a different chant to awake, soon Bachiko's eyes fluttered open, and she looked at Kagome.
Bachiko knew what happened as she then wasn't moved. Kagome and Ginta took the buckets out and got new ones as they came back into the cave. Soon night came as Kagome made sure that the females were not in pain or in labour.
Kagome and Ginta went to sleep after the buckets and their clothes were washed. Kagome then quickly fell asleep in some furs with the rest.
Hours passed as Kagome woke up and went outside and sat down, soon Kouga came outside after he heard her getting up.
"Kagome, what is wrong?" He asked.
Kagome stated from begin as she found out the Kaede was dead from old age. Then to Shippo's mate and their litter was killed just hours ago as she cried out as Kouga held her to his chest letting her cry.
"If Shippo needs to get away from the fox's village, he can come here and learn more skills." Kouga offender to her.
"I let him know when I go to him again." Kagome told him. "So how old are the pups and how many pups do you have now?"
Kouga looked at her.' The oldest ones are four. Second oldest are three and the third oldest are two in a half and the last one before this group are one year old. Four, three, five, four again that would make us up too, sixteen pups all together. After this one is done. Ayame isn't going to let me near her again until these ones are older."
"I would too, Kouga." Kagome told her.
Kouga tensed as she looked at him. "The two female's in pain." Kagome got up and raced into the cave as Kouga came in to as he placed and lit all the candles as Kagome went over to Ayame and Chiemi
"Ayame?" Kagome whispered.
"Oh Kagome, it hurts so much, if Kouga thinks he gets more pups he is in for ….." Ayame stops she sees Kouga, his eyes were red as he smelled her blood.
"Kouga, this is a part of birthing, Look at me. Ayame is fine." Kagome told him. His eyes turned his normal color again.
"Now, I understand that most males aren't with their mates. But I would like to be here for my mate this time." Kouga told Kagome. She nodded her head at him as she got him to get Ginta and make the fire.
Kagome checks Ayame as she was just about ready, then she check on the Chiemi as she was also close too. Soon Ginta and Kouga came in with two buckets of hot water; they both washed their hands started with the two that were ready.
"Ayame you ready," Kagome said as she was between her legs. "Push, push,"
Ayame push until she heard stop again, "I see the pups head, Ayame I need two large pushes from you now. Push" Ayame held onto Kouga's hand as she pushed many times, he looked at her as his heart went mad at this. His mate was in pain because he wanted more pups.
She gave him sixteen and soon to be some more. Was he really stupid, or just prideful, maybe he was both. His ears bleed as his could hear Ayame and Chiemi scream in pain. After this, Kouga mind up his mind, he wasn't going to pupped Ayame anymore.
Ayame push with all her might once again twice, until she heard a scream of tiny lungs.
Kagome took the pup out and washed him, as she then placed him on a small area as she went back to Ayame. Kagome got her to push again as she slowly gave birth to three more pups. Kagome washed each of them as she got Kouga to hold them as Kagome healed Ayame as she went to healed Ginta female as she was done giving birth to two pups.
Hours went by as Ginta and Kagome delivery all the pups. Kagome went to the steam and cleaned off her pots and rags as she looked at her clothes again as she looked around and took them off as she went into the cold water.
She washed her arms and hands and then washed her body without noticing someone was watching her within the bushes. Kagome purged her clothes from the blood as slowly felt someone watching her.
She glared and narrowed her eyes were she was feeling the youki. She walked out and got into new clothes as she heard the bushes moving. She jumped out of the way fast as she turned to see a horse youkai. His nose was long as he had hands but feet like a horse.
Kagome could see he was hard and ready. "Who are you?' Kagome asked.
"You will be my mate." He said. When he charged at Kagome at full speed.
Kagome pulled out her daggers and slashed frontwards as she purified the horse youkai as she then sighed as she felt the pulled again.
Kagome then walked towards the wolf caves. She told Kouga about the pull again as he hugged her. The pups were less sad about it this time as she did come back. Kagome then disappeared with Ginta as he got her half was to Inuyasha's area.
She walked and walked as she help out different people in each village as she slowly came across the village the pull was pulling her. She saw it was destroyed as she gasped and raced down the hill and looked around to see many hut beyond repair. She looked around more to see no bodies around as she slowly heard voices.
"Kagome!" She looked to see Inuyasha jumping towards her.
"Inuyasha, what happened here?' Kagome asked.
"The weather did this as the men are getting more wood to rebuild the village. Kikyo is healing the injured." He told her.
Kagome nodded her head at him." Well, my trips to the Southern lands were long and I was gone for…a year. Please tell me that you had no more children."
Inuyasha nodded his head." We want the older children to get older around eight or older. How are you?"
"Well, good news and bad news, Shippo had mated and was going to have his first kits but bandits killed some of the foxes in the village including Raya." Kagome told him.
Inuyasha growled at loudly." He is okay. Why are you here?'
"He is doing okay, the pull, Shippo understands the pull and he would want me to continue on my mission." Kagome stated.
"I know. You smell like wolfs." Inuyasha smelled out.
"Hai, Kouga and Ayame have twenty pups now. The pack is larger now than when we first saw them. "Kagome informed Inuyasha.
Soon night came as Kagome fell asleep with the pups as the yelled her name when they came back. Kagome was warm with all the pups surrounding her.
