Chapter Fourteen
His eyes gazed her radiant features as she slept soundly. Her raven hair falling softly off the couch and around her body. Her hair was long, too long, but he liked it like that. He loved her no matter what. He reached a hand out to her face as she inhaled. Her lips pink and her skin so soft and creamy. He licked his lips hungrily, but held back.
Her chest moved slowly up and down, indicating she was breathing. He wanted to move her from the couch to the bed, but decided against it. She looked so peaceful. He kissed her forehead and stood silently. He made his way to the door, opening it gently, he made his way out.
The smell of breakfast foods filled his nose. He loved when the Higurashi family cooked. He quietly walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Toku, Ayeka, Kikyo, and Teo sat around the table. Ayeka stood and went to the stove. She pulled the fried pickles and tea from the top. Her eyes shined with happiness and love. Everyday she was like this. Toku looked up.
"Good morning Inuyasha. Want some breakfast?" Inuyasha nodded.
"That sounds great. Hey Teo. Hey Kikyo. What are ya'll doing here so early?"
Kikyo looked at him. "Dummy... it's 11:30." She laughed.
Inuyasha went face first in the ground. "I thought it was earlier." He mumbled.
"Where's Kagome?" Ayeka asked.
"She fell asleep on the couch in the guest room. I woke up and there she was." He smiled. "She is still asleep." He walked to the table.
Kikyo squealed. "I get married in three weeks!" She said.
"That's the plan." Toku looked at his daughter. So happy she was.
"Yeah and only a month 'till that pup is born." Teo said touching her now round belly. He smiled when he felt it kick.
"It's so amazing how a woman carrying a demon baby, only has to stay pregnant for three months." Ayeka said.
"Of course my baby will be a hanyou like Inuyasha, of course." Kikyo placed her hand over Teo's.
"Yes." Inuyasha said smiling.
Kagome was making her way down the stairs at this point in the conversation, but stopped at the edge. Her hearing was fine... but what she heard hurt. Never had she known.
"Ya know it's quite strange. When Kagome was born, she was missing a part of her female body. The tubes that made it to where she could get pregnant. The doctor said she may never get them, thus no children." Inuyasha's heart dropped.
'No pup for me and Kagome?' He thought.
Kagome looked stricken with pain. Her hand clutched the tank top she had been wearing and her eyes grew huge. She inhaled softly and ran back up to her room. She quickly got dressed and ran to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and hair in a matter of seconds. Her eyes now brimmed with tears. She wanted kids. Really she did, and the thought of having them with Inuaysha was wonderful.
She threw on her shoes and ran to the door. Not disturbing the family she opened it and shut it quietly. Inuyasha not hearing one thing, for he was too busy thinking.
Inuyasha looked saddened. "How is that?" He asked confused.
Ayeka touched his shoulder. "Every woman is suppose to be born with a part of their body made to produce kids. The womb. See Kagome wasn't born with the tubes that help this cause." I wish I knew what I was talking about. Damn it all...
Inuyasha stood. "So if I ever marry Kagome, we'll never have kids of our own?" Toku sighed.
"Yes son." Inuyasha inhaled.
"That's not cool." He looked at Kikyo.
"Does she know?"
Kikyo and Ayeka shook their heads. "No."

Kagome was now in her car 5 miles away from home. She was on her way to see her doctor. She had tears in her eyes still. Few falling freely. She didn't know why, but what she heard, hurt badly. Was the thought of not having children killing her inside? Was it that she knew she couldn't be a mother when she was ready? Or was it that she wanted what Kikyo had... a gift from God?
She veered left and into the hospital parking lot. She ran to the doors and passed through them. She made a sharp turn into the information office.
"I need Dr. Keade." The woman looked at her.
"Have an appointment?" Kagome shook her head. "Is it an emergency?" She nodded.
"Fill out these forms and I'll send her to you."
"Not that emergency!" She shouted. "I need to know what part of my body is missing! I need to know if I can have kids!" The woman looked shocked.
"I'm sorry, only real emergency's permitted." Kagome was about to pull the woman by her collar, but a voice stopped her.
"Kagome dear. What's wrong?" Keade smiled at her.
"Keade!" She ran to the old woman. "I need you to check on something for me."
Keade nodded. "This way please." Kagome nodded and followed.
"What seems to be the problem?" The woman sat behind her desk and took out Kagome's files from the day she was born. A picture of the woman and Kagome sat soundly on her desk in a silver frame. The woman holding a small raven haired infant. Kagome... Keade was her grandmother, so she says, had she been the one who birthed Kagome.
"I over heard them talking about how I couldn't produce a child. Well, I mean I can't birth one. Mom told my boyfriend that I wasn't born with that part."
Keade nodded. "You weren't."
Kagome's eyes watered again and she hung her head low. "But," She looked up. "we can go run a few tests and she what has or hasn't evolved in the past 20 years."
Kagome nodded. "Okay." She followed the woman to the examination room.
"Undress and lay flat on the table. I will run you through the X-ray tube and examine you whole body. I'll then run a few tests on your lower stomach and see what we have."
Kagome nodded ans did as told. Once fully undressed, she laid on the table. The table made a slight movement and sent her through the tube. A blue light surrounded her. Keade examined the screen that held the results.
'I can't tell yet.' She thought.
Once Kagome came through, she told her to stay down and she would be right back. She returned with a monitor and a needle. A small X-ray figure hung above Kagome. It was a smaller one, but it would help figure out her situation. Keade injected the needles contains into her side. Kagome gave a slight yelp and then her eyes closed.
"I feel... sleepy..." Her mind went dark.
"It'll be okay dear." Keade told her.
She set the monitor beside Kagome and pulled the jelly coated arm from it. She moved it around and watched the screen that told her the results of the small X-ray. Keade sighed and set all the stuff aside.
"Poor child." She said. She cleaned up and waited for Kagome to awaken.

Inuyasha stood silently and sighed heavily. "Well... nothing we can do." It hurt for him to say this. "I should wake Kagome. I want to spend time with her."
Ayeka inhaled. "You can't tell her Inuyasha." He nodded.
"But who will mom?" Kikyo asked.
"I don't know... I guess I will. She'll be furious when she finds I kept it from her for 20 years." Ayeka said.
Inuyasha shook his head. "She may not be." Hell who was he kidding, she's gonna be angry.
Kikyo sat quietly. "After all this time... I have an unborn child, and my sweet sister will never know the happiness of having a baby of her own." A tear fell from Kikyo's eye.
Inuyasha sighed once again. "I'm sorry Kikyo." Kikyo smiled.
Inuyasha walked to the guest room. He opened the door. "Hey Kagome, can we..." He found no girl. He looked confused. 'Maybe she went to her room.'
He walked down the hall to her room. "Kagome?" No sign of her. He checked the whole house. He found nothing... No Kagome.
"Guys... I can't find Kagome!" He said running down the stairs.
"Is she not in her room?" He shook his head. "Guest room?" Again he shook his head. "BATHROOM?" He shook it violently.
"Nowhere!" They ran around. The sky grew balck and gray.
"It's about to rain. She can't be far." Toku said.
"Her scent is not strong. She must be farther away." Teo said.
"Her cars missing." Ayeka shouted from the front.
"Call her cell." Kikyo requested.
The family fell. "Well duh." Kikyo smiled.

Kagome awoke with a jolt. She looked around. "Keade?" The old woman looked at her.
"You're awake." Kagome nodded.
"And?" Keade sighed in sadness.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry. You still haven't grown the parts. Your body never produced them." Kagome had tears fall down her face.
"Oh." Keade hugged her.
"I'm so sorry." Kagome wanted so bad to cry, but she stood and dressed.
"Thank you." She hugged Keade and walked out.
Kagome stopped by her car door and reached for her cell.
"Damn." She didn't have it, so she used her old one. It was in the glove department for special emergency's. She dialed Sango's number.
"Hello?" Came a voice on the other end.
"Hey Sango. It's me."
"Hey Kags. What's up?"
"Nothing really. I need to talk to you. I'm gonna drop by. Is that okay?"
"Of course. Come on over. Rin's here too."
"Great. Thanks a million. I'll be there soon." Kagome hung up and got in the car.
Once she was in the car and driving away, it started to ran. Her eyes did as well. She turned on the main highway and headed the opposite way of home. She was going to go see Sango. Kagome couldn't see well. Her eyes were blurry and the rain was washing over her windshield. She turned the wipers on and wiped her eyes. She failed to notice the huge log truck flying for her car. She slammed on the brakes as the head lights hit her face. She swerved left and the truck hit the right side on the back end of the car and sent her flying into the ditch. The truck dumped over on the right side of the road and she lay emotionless on the left. No movement was made as the rain fell on the top of Kagome's car.

Inuyasha dialed Kagome's cell. It began to ring. Kikyo looked around. "Guys I hear ringing."
Teo stood. "Me too."
They followed the sound and it led to the guest room. Sure enough, Kagome's cell was laying on the table. Inuyasha clicked the 'Off' button and sat down.
"Damn it!" He mumbled.
As the words left his mouth, the phone rang. Inuaysha answered it quickly.
"Kagome?" He heard not her voice, but another females.
"Inuyasha?" It was Sango.
"Hey Sango. Have you heard from Ka..."
"Inuyasha..." A pause. "Kagome's in the hospital. She was hit by a truck and..." She looked at the phone. A dial tone.
Inuyasha didn't want to hear the rest. He was half way to the hospital already.
