Chapter 14:
How will he take it?
Nori stood at the sink for another two minutes before turning to the two girls behind him. "Kaori, it…could it be wrong?" Nori asked. Kaori and Kagome's heads looked at Nori.
"What?" Kaori asked. Nori sighed, "Nori why are you so worried about Kagome, the kids not even yours." Kaori said as she began to walk to Nori.
"I know, but she's like my sister too and Kagome's only 16 almost 17 and she's pregnant. I think that we should go to a doctor and make sure," Kaori thought about it before nodding and turning to Kagome.
Kagome was still shocked, but she knew what was going on. "Kagome, I have to ask you, how long have you been late?" Kaori asked.
"Two weeks," Kagome answered. Kaori was confused at her answer.
"Kagome I thought you and Inuyasha have only been whatever for a week?" Kaori asked; Kagome sighed before getting up from where she was sitting.
"I know, but we kinda…well…you know before that," Kagome said twiddling with her fingers. Kaori grew a smirk in her face as she walked out of the bathroom and walked to the phone. Nori rolled his eyes as he tossed the pregnancy test into the trash and fallowed Kaori out of the bathroom with Kagome right behind him.
Kaori dialed the number to the doctors to set up an appointment for Kagome before they went back to the group. "Hello? Yes I would like to set up an appointment for Higurashi Kagome…for a pregnancy test…yes, Okay. In an hour. Yeah we can make it. Thank you, bye." Kaori hung up the phone and walked to Kagome. "Your appointment is in an hour, 'Kay. Nori and I well go with you," Kagome nodded.
An Hour later at the doctors:
The three teenagers sat in the waiting room for Kagome to be called. Kaori had told Kagome that she would go in if she was needed, but otherwise she and Nori would stay out here. She also said that she would go and help Kagome in anyway, but Kagome had to go through this doctors examine alone. She said that she was sorry, but Kagome understood and agreed with Kaori.
Finally the moment came. A nurse walked into the waiting area and called out from Kagome. Kaori gave a thumbs' up to Kagome and wished her good luck before Kagome disappeared into the white halls.
"I hope she can do this," Kaori said a little worried. Nori placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze.
"Don't worry, Kagome's strong. I mean she fights demons and has to keep Inuyasha in line, if anything she can handle this if she tests positive," Nori said.
"And what does keep me in line mean?" a voice said behind them. Kaori and Nori turned their heads around to face a very annoyed hanyou. 'Shit!' Kaori yelled in her head.
"What are you doing here, baka!" Kaori whispered sharply at Inuyasha.
"What, Kagome and you just disappeared so I fallowed her sent till I got here. Where is Kagome anyway?" Inuyasha asked. Kaori and Nori gulped . They told Inuyasha she was talking to a friend and that she would be out in minutes. Inuyasha ignored them and started to fallow Kagome's scent. He was about to open a door before Kaori tackled him to the ground. Everyone in the waiting room looked at the two teenagers strangely. "Inuyasha you can't go in there. She will come out in a minute now sit you ass down and shut up about it." Kaori said to him while pulling him to a chair next to her.
"Why do I have to sit next to you?" Inuyasha whined like a five year old. Kaori elbowed him in the stomach. After that Inuyasha became quite.
The minutes passed by fast and before they knew it, Kagome walked back to them. Her face was a little pal, but she was happy. Until she saw Inuyasha sitting next to Kaori; all of her happiness turned into nervousness. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome; he sensed she was nervous about something.
"Guys why don't we go outside for a moment, you know so we can get some fresh air?" Kaori asked while grabbing Kagome's arm and pulling her outside. Inuyasha and Nori fallowed the two girls. Inuyasha gave Nori a confused look, but Nori just turned his head away from Inuyasha's eyes.
When the four of them were outside, Kaori let go of Kagome's arm. "Well , Nori and I will leave you two alone for a couple of minutes. So meet cha guys outside starbucks? 'Kay well see yea there, later." Kaori said before taking off with Nori right behind her.
Inuyasha was confused and Kagome saw it. "Umm…Inuyasha I have something to tell you," Kagome said, Inuyasha looked down at her. "Well, you see…remember two weeks ago…when we…you know…our first time that we…shit!" Kagome said. She took a couple of deep breaths before going on.
"What is it Kagome? What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked worried. Kagome sighed a little bit.
"Inuyasha do you know why I have been "sick" lately?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha shook his head 'no'. "Inuyasha I got tested for something," Kagome was interrupted by a scared hanyou.
"What the hell is wrong, Kagome tell me!" Inuyasha was now totally freaking out. 'Baka' Kagome thought.
"Inuyasha let me finish," Kagome took another deep breath, "Inuyasha I'm pregnant," Kagome spit out. Inuyasha's eyes got wide.
"You…I…pregnant?" Inuyasha didn't finish his sentence because he passed out with shock.
"Oh god, what a baka," Kagome sighed.
Four months later:
It was now early April; it had been four months since Kagome had told Inuyasha she was pregnant. Kagome found out that demon pregnancies were shorter then human ones. Kagome was a little reveled that she didn't have to go through nine months of it. But the down side was that she was due next month.
Sango and Miroku's baby was born three days early; it was a boy. They named him Kin. It meant golden; it was Sango's idea. He had Miroku's hair and Sango's eyes. Miroku was absolutely happy that he had a son.
The group had not heard any rumors of jewel shards near by or anything on Naraku. Inuyasha was getting pissed off about not knowing where Naraku was. And they group had not seen or heard anything on Kikyo either (thank god!). Rin had turned eight last week. Kaori, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Jaken had taken off two weeks ago. Kagome had been sad, but Sesshomaru said four months with his brother was enough and he wanted to look for Naraku; Inuyasha agreed that four months was too long also.
Kaori and Sesshomaru had come further in there relationship, But Sesshomaru was still scared about asking Kaori to be his mate. Kaori still visited the guys, but not as much as she use to; mostly because it was hard to get there all the time.
They had started to travel again since Rin sprained her ankle, Sesshomaru looked back at Kaori; she was in the same daze that she had been in since she had a dream two weeks ago. He was worried about her. "Kaori…come here," Sesshomaru said; Kaori ran up to him.
"Yeah?" Kaori asked.
"What's wrong? You seem distracted?" Sesshomaru asked. Kaori looked at him, and then sighed.
"Yeah, I know. It's just. That dream I had. Remember when I had that visit with Kikyo and found out what I was?" Sesshomaru nodded.
"Well, the dream told me that the final battle was to come soon and if I didn't find it, everyone would die," Kaori said. Sesshomaru's eyes widen at the mention of the final battle. "Its just I don't know what I need to find. Urg! Why does this have to be so hard!" Kaori cried in frustration. Sesshomaru put his arm around Kaori and pulled her close. All he wanted to do was comfort her.
"Sesshomaru, I want to go back. I know we just left, but I think I can find my answer there, with our friends at the village. Can we go back, please?" Kaori pleaded and looked at Sesshomaru with her puppy eyes; Sesshomaru sighed.
"Fine. Get Rin and I'll carry you two there. Jaken will catch up." Kaori sighed knowing that if she argued about leaving Jaken behind, he wouldn't take her back. Kaori nodded and ran back to Rin and Jaken. She told them what was going on. Kaori scooped Rin into her arms and ran back to Sesshomaru.
Back with the group:
"Lady Kagome! Lady Kagome!" some of the village children cried. Kagome trued her head towards them. She was caring a bucket of water; if Inuyasha knew she was caring something he would flip out. She had told her family that she was pregnant. Her mom and brother were excited, but her grandfather wasn't so happy that she was pregnant with Inuyasha kid, but what can you do?
"Yes, Taichi and Keiko?" Kagome sweetly asked the children.
"Chika, our cat is having her kittens!" the children answered with joy in their voices, "And we were hoping that you could help?"
"Well, of cores I will. Let me just put this bucket inside then I'll be right there, 'kay?" Kagome said, the children nodded and then ran back to their hut. Kagome laughed. She looked down at her swollen stomach; she patted it a little before continuing to her hut. The villagers gave the group two huts, one for Sango and Miroku and the other for her and Inuyasha, in return for saving the village countless of times.
Kagome entered the hut and found Inuyasha sitting in the corner thinking. "Inuyasha what cha thinking about?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha jumped a little at the sound of her voice, "Sorry to scare ya,"
"It's fine. Oh nothing much," Kagome knew he was lying.
"Thinking about how to find Naraku again?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha stared at her and then nodded. "Inuyasha I know you too well. Hey where's Shippo?" Kagome asked looking around for her kit.
"At Sango and Miroku's, Playing with Kin," Inuyasha responded. Kagome nodded while setting the bucket of water down. "I thought I told you not to lift anything and to ask me for my help?" Inuyasha growled a little bit. Kagome sighed. Ever since she told him, he would get mad at her for doing normal, non treating things.
"Sorry. I'll be at Keiko and Taichi's hut helping them with their cat. Be back in about an hour, bye love ya." Kagome said before leaving there hut. Inuyasha sighed at Kagome. She never listened to him.
It had been about ten minutes since Kagome left when he smelt him. Inuyasha growled a little bit before going outside the hut. "Hey Prince Loser get out here where I can see you!" Inuyasha yelled. He waited for a few seconds before Koga emerged from behind a tree.
"Eh, mutt where's Kagome?" Koga yelled at Inuyasha.
"None of your business, Shit head!" Inuyasha growled as he unsheathed the Tetsusaiga.
"Inuyasha, Sit!" Kagome yelled as she power walked over to the two rivals. Koga looked at Kagome with surprised eyes.
"Kagome, what did he do to you! Did he force you!" Koga yelled running over to her. Inuyasha growled and jumped in front of Kagome before Koga lad a hand on her.
"I didn't force her!" Inuyasha growled. Kagome pushed Inuyasha out of the way and walked to Koga.
"Koga, Inuyasha and I are mates now. He didn't force me. Koga I do not love you, I love Inuyasha. I see you as a friend. Nothing more. Why do you go to Ayame?" Kagome said. Koga looked at Kagome speechless.
"Kagome I care for you, just come and get me if you're ever in trouble and Inuyasha can't protect you," Kagome nodded and trough her hand over Inuyasha's mouth before he could say anything. Koga kissed Kagome's hand then turned and left.
"Hey, Kagome, I thought you were taken?" a familiar voice said behind Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome turned around to face Kaori. Kagome's face light up with excitement.
"Kaori, I thought you were looking for Naraku!" Kagome rushed to Kaori and hugged her the best she could. Kaori laughed.
"Yeah we were, hey do you think I could go and talk to Kaede?" Kaori asked; Kagome nodded at took Kaori to Kaede's hut.
"So, why da come back?" Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru as he sheathed his sword.
"Kaori had a dream the night after we left and she finally told me about it," Sesshomaru told him.
"So, what does that mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"She dement about the last battle with Naraku," Inuyasha's mouth dropped to the ground, Sesshomaru went on. "She also dement that everyone will die, if she didn't find something. She's been trying to find out what it is, but she couldn't' so, she thought that old hag would know," Sesshomaru finished before walking to the hut Kagome and Kaori entered; Inuyasha fallowed.
Kaede's hut:
"Ah, ye child are back. I am glade to see ye," Kaede greeted the two girls. They said hello before they sat down.
"Kaede, can I talk to you about something?" Kaori asked. Kaede turned and sat with the girls and waited for Kaori to continue. "Well, the night after Sesshomaru and I left; I had a dream," Kaori said.
"What kind of dream did ye have?" Kaede asked.
"Freaky, but really, I dement about the final battle with Naraku. But that wasn't the weird part. In the dream Priestess Sada's voice told me that everyone will die if I do not find it," Kaori stopped.
"Find what?" Kagome asked.
"I don't know. That's why we came back. I thought that maybe I could find whatever it is here; that's why I came to talk to you. Can you help me?" Kaori asked Kaede. Kaede sighed.
"Kaori the only why I can think of helping ye, is to let you have a talk with your former self. But I won't because it is to dangerous for how new ye are to ye's powers," Kaede said before getting up. Kaori couldn't take no for an answer.
"Stop! Kaede please, I'm strong enough, please everyone will die if I don't!" Kaori yelled at the old priestess. Kaede sighed before turning to face Kaori; she moved to a corner by the cooking pot and grabbed something. She walked back to Kaori and looked at her.
"Kaori I will let ye talk to ye's former self, but ye better wake up," the old woman said sternly. Kaori nodded. "Lie down and drink some of this," Kaori lad down and waited for Kaede to let her drink the bottle. Kaede lifted the glass bottle to Kaori's mouth and let her sip it for a second before taking it away from her. At this time Sesshomaru and Inuyasha walked in; Sesshomaru saw Kaede take some bottle away from Kaori and Kaori passed out.
Sesshomaru caught Kaori's head before it hit the ground. "What did you do?" Sesshomaru growled at the old maiden.
"Do not worry ye self, Sesshomaru. She is alright; Kaori is in a dream like state talking to her former self, so ye can find what it ye is looking for; ye sell be awake before dinner." Kaede said before she walked out of her hut, "Oh leave ye here." Kaede said; Sesshomaru growled at her some more before sighing and laying Kaori's body on his.
Kaori's dream
Kaori looked around the black abyss she was floating in. "Where am I?" Kaori asked the blackness.
"You my child are in a dream like state and I have come to realize that you are looking for me, is this right?" a voice came from the darkness. Kaori looked around for the voice, but only to see herself fall into a black hole.
"AHHHHH!" Kaori screamed as she landed on the hard on some grass. She looked at her surroundings. 'This is familiar,' Kaori thought to herself. "I've been here before!" Kaori said.
"I'm not surprised, child," Kaori looked up to find a woman standing in front of her. She looked exactly like Kaori, except she was more mature and older. She was wearing a long white dress. It was a halter dress. It went way past her feet; about two whole feet past. The neck of her dress wrapped itself around her neck.
Her hair was up; about a 1/3 of her hair was down and the other 2/3s of it was up. Pink flowers held the hair up, the same flowers wrapped around the middle of her dress; only a little bit though. She wore some jewelry, but the thing that caught Kaori's eyes was a golden chain that draped around the woman's neck; from the golden chain hung a light blue sapphire stone. It was small, but it was the size of a medium large pearl. But that was not the most amazing feature of the woman; on her bare back were to medium size pure white wings.
The woman laughed a little bit at Kaori's reaction of her form. "Amazing isn't it?" the woman asked Kaori. Kaori nodded while getting up from the ground. "I am Priestess Sada and you called for me?" Kaori gasped at her. "Why may I ask, did you call on me?"
Ha! I'm leaving it here! Muhahaha. U guys probably already know wut she is looking for, but o well... Just have to wait tell next time.
