Chapter 13. The Begging of the End.

/ \ Kagome's POV / \

Minutes turned into hours, hours turned to days, days turned to weeks, and weeks turn into months. Soon a few months had past bringing winter upon everyone.

I had started working as a writer for both the newspaper and a story writer. In my time in the feudal era I wrote stories of my adventures and when I got back to my original time I got on my computer and started gathering all my short chapters on adventures and made it into a story. One day my mother said she met a man who owned a publishing company and told him about my story. He came over and read some of my story and said it was great, but then he said that he was going to see if his superiors wanted to publish it. Much to my surprise I agreed and the story was printed. It was called The Girl Who Defied Time.

Now I had money and my own home. Sense I was eighteen now I decided to live on my own.

I was in the middle of putting cream over my markings when the phone rang loud and clear. I ran down the stairs in my towel and picked it up.

"Hello this is Kagome speaking." I answered.

"Hello Kagome, I'm Mr. Maroon. I was wondering if you could write a story of a billionaire that moved to your small town. I was wondering if you could spice it up a bit though. There has been a rumor of a battle of companies between Mr. Taisho and Mr. Ankoku. Their companies are both huge in the industry and I want as much dirt as possible." My boss said.

"You got it," I replied with a secretive smile. "Where and who am I going to?"

"You're going to home of Mr. Ankoku which is the mansion on 7887 Hunan Street." Was the reply.

"That's like the only place in this town where there is a lot of stuff that is actually money being made." I muttered. "Okay bye boss, talk to you later."

"Goodbye," He said and the phone clicked off and I sat my phone down on the receiver.

I rushed back upstairs and finished getting my marks covered up and then put on a blue and black dress that showed up a lot more skin then I liked. But at least it didn't show my growing stomach. The worst part about this is that I don't know who the father is or how I became pregnant.

"Well Kagome, todays the big day. Time to get the ultrasound…" I said staring at the bulge between my hips. "But first, let's just get work done. You can live with that right baby?"

As if on cue there was a tiny kick in return. I gasped a little as the pressure came and went and then smiled and caressed my stomach.

"You know for a little guy you sure are strong." I cooed. I shook my head and sighed. "Okay Kagome you're talking to a baby that doesn't even understand you again."

I turned away from the mirror and walked down the stairs and put on my shoes. When I grabbed a pop tart and was about to remove the foil and it fell out of my hands and onto the floor, I got down to get it and suddenly it was like part of yanking away and then searing pain. I fell down onto the floor trying to not land on my stomach and only succeeded at hitting my wrists on the floor accidently. It stopped my fall but it made my pain worse. Now it was coming from my wrists and my lower abdomen. The floor didn't hit my stomach where my baby was but I twisted my hip in a bad way and I finally just curled myself up into a fetal position. I closed my eyes as my Youkai healing took over and finally I was healed as I got back up and straightened and put some pressure on my lower abdomen to make sure it healed too and it had.

I picked up the pop tart and opened the foil and chewed on it nibbling quietly and walked outside to my car. Having a fancy Ferrari is awesome; but having crazy people who want to steal it isn't.

I climbed inside and turned it on and automatically the engine purred to life. I gunned it pretty much to the address my boss gave me. When I arrived I opened my door and got out and walked up a stone pathway and knocked on the door.

"Hello, are you Ms. Higarashi?" A maid answered the door.

I nodded and smiled. "Yes, can I come in?"

"Sure thing." She replied and opened the door stepping aside to reveal the grand inside of the house.

I stepped inside and walked into the living room. I sat down on the couch as the maid said that I should sit down and that Mr. Ankoku would be down in a moment.

I looked around nervously and smoothed my dress and a dark haired man came down the stairs. His hair had an almost wild look to it, his eyes where a kind of black-red. I then noticed he was wearing color contacts with my sharp eyes.

He smiled at me with warmth and spread his arms out in an open gesture, "Ah, so this is the amazing writer for The Girl Who Defied Time."

"Yes," I nodded and smiled. "Please sit with me. I was wondering if I could get a story on you?"

"Of course my dear. Now ask me what you please."

He sat down across from me and stared at me with an emotion of warmth and happiness on his face. "Why did you move here?"

"Well, my company has been providing for the big cities but then I realized we weren't paying enough attention to our smaller areas. I decided that if I moved here I could bring more business with me." He explained.

"Is there really a battle going on between you and the Taisho Company?"

A thoughtful look crossed over his face. "All companies have their battles to fight. The fact is that Mr. Taisho and I do not get along. We have known each other for a very long time and we never did get along. We both produce power and steel for cities so we have to have an eye on the game. This is no difference to anything else."

"I see. What do you do with the money?" The big question, I hoped he would answer truthfully.

"I am not a liar nor am I going to be. I use most of it to pay my workers and the bunch leftover I use as a treat for myself. I have tried to donate before but it is difficult because of the process."

I nodded and smiled with the most warmth I could muster. "I'm happy you're telling the truth. What do you think about global warming? Do you have anything going green?"

"I have been urging my workers to go green and I believe global warming is a serious issue. If we all went green now it would still take thousands of years to heal the earth completely. But that could never happen because of humanity. No matter what the truth is that we will always be the love and poison of the earth."

"And one more question. Do you believe you are a greedy man?"

"I believe I am greedy at times. Everyone is, tell me someone who isn't. But I normally just like necessaries the best. Sure my fancy car, house, and business are nice. But if I didn't have all that I still would be happy with everything else I have."

I smiled and stood up holding my stomach a bit. "Thank you for your time Mr. Ankoku. I hope you will like what I have to say in the paper."

I turned to leave when he got up and then he grabbed my arm. "Ms. Higarashi, are you seeing someone?"

My smile disappeared suddenly as confusion swept over my features. "No, why?"

"I was wondering if I could take such a fine woman such as yourself out to dinner… tonight maybe."

"Sure, and may I ask you if you're a Hanyou?"

He smiled and put a finger to his lips. "I won't tell you're a Youkai if you don't tell I'm a Hanyou."

I smiled with warmth real and genuine. "Okay, and yes I'll go to dinner with you tonight. I live a few blocks down. Just look for the house with the blue shutters and a Ferrari in front. How about… eight?"

"Sounds good to me, see you there." He let go of my wrist and smiled at me as I turned away and walked to door only to hear him again.

"Kagome, look at me please." He commanded. I turned around and looked him in the eye and seemed in a trance as the red in them flickered brighter. "You will not remember me from the past only the present and future and now on."

I nodded and the flame went out. "Who are you? I mean your first name."

"I'm Naraku, and I know you're Kagome. Now we officially know each other." He grinned at me and I smiled back.

"It was a pleasure to meet you Naraku-sama." I said.

"As you, please don't call me Naraku-sama." He replied.

"Later Naraku."

"Goodbye Kagome."

I closed the door and stepped outside as a cool breeze shuffled my hair. I felt like dancing for some reason but I resisted the urge. I walked and sat down in my car staring at the house like a miracle was at work. Then slowly instead of high speed made my way out of the driveway and onto the street and drove to my house. There I wrote my paper entry.

After I finished it and faxed it to my boss I slipped back into my car for my 1 o'clock appointment. When I arrived at the hospital I headed inside and checked in at the counter and they brought me to a room with machinery in it already.

The doctor came in and I knew who he was right of the bat. Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?!" I exclaimed.

He shook his head. "I'm a doctor. Now please lay still Kagome."

"Inuyasha… You sound like you've… changed."

"Well, after a while. I kinda found out I needed to work on a few things. But this is the new me. Now please relax." Inuyasha said/commanded.

I laid down and stopped trying to sit up and he pulled my shirt up to look at my stomach.

"You-You're not mad?" I asked.

"Kagome, I gave up a long time ago. You were right to leave me when I hurt you so much." He said as he busily prepared me.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha." I murmured and closed my eyes.

"It's okay Kagome. I'm sorry too."

"Did you and Sesshoumaru ever…. Make up?" I asked.

"Yeah, after about three hundred years of fighting we stopped and finally realized we should be helping each other not putting each other down." He smiled a little and put the mouse looking object on my lower stomach where my womb should be and searched around a little bit. "There," He muttered and held it in one place.

I looked at the screen and stared in awe at the tiny forms. They were twins no doubt, and I left joy in every little movement I saw.

"Do you want to know the sex of them?" Inuyasha asked brining me back from my dream world.

"NO!" I said in a high voice then lowered it. "Sorry, I just want it to be a surprise."

"It's fine." He replied and took the tool away from my skin and put it away. I then got cleaned up and left with my goodbyes to Inuyasha. I got in my car and went back to my house to get a shower and nice clothes on for my date.

Right at eight, Naraku showed up. He took me to a fancy restaurant where they cooked the food in front of us. Once the food was served and Naraku tried to get some vodka and other alcoholic drinks in me I declined.

I sighed. "I really shouldn't be drinking. I'm pregnant you know."

He laughed. "I know. And no doubt your kids will be fine. They're probably fully Youkais or Hanyous both ones will be able to kill off the chemicals."

"I guess… But I still don't want to take my chances." I muttered.

"Oh well," He murmured and when the chief left the table he leaned over and kissed me on the lips. Softly at first and then harder. It was addicting, just like an alcoholic with old brewed and still bubbly bear in the same room and the alcoholic could drink as much as he wanted.

"I think we should get out of here." I breathed as we finally stopped kissing.

He was equally out of breath. "Yeah," He agreed and we left and as soon as we were in my home - which was the closer than his- we were entangled in each other on the floor kissing hurriedly and yes sometimes soppily kissing each other.

"I am not having sex in till the baby is born." I warned as he removed his shirt.

"Fine but we can at least get naked and do a few dirty tricks right?" It wasn't much of a question more of a command.

But I played along with his teasing and tricks.

(Please stand by for a short Technical Difficulty. ^^ Thank you)

(Back to the story)

I lay on my side with Naraku's hands around my body. I felt sore but yet pleasant at the same time. We might not have had full blown sex but it still hurts like a son of a bitch and then eased down into plane pleasure.

Then as if at the most blissful moment, Naraku's phone rang. He dug around in his pockets and produced an expensive looking phone and answered and when he finished talking he had a frown on his face. "I have to go…" He muttered and leaned over and kissed my forehead and got up and got dressed.

I stood up holding my shirt in front of me to cover my body. I kissed him one more time before he got out the door and sighed and slipped into the kitchen and tried to eat something.

I grabbed a pop tart the only thing that I could eat besides raw meat that wouldn't make me throw up. But this time it did.

I bent over the garbage and threw up probably two nights worth of meals. When I finished I ran upstairs brushed my teeth and then wiped my mouth with a damp cloth and cleaned up my mess. When I went back downstairs I took the garbage out and sighed in relief as I sat down on the couch.

And then the phone rang.
