Chapter 25

Sango had already prepared dinner and was now putting Ichigo in his pajamas. She picked him up and tucked him into her bed. She then kissed him on the forehead, gave him a big hug and left the room. She walked into the living room and watched as the rain poured down. It didn't seem as if it was going to stop anytime soon. There was suddenly a knock at the door. She opened the door to see Miroku standing there, completely soaked from the rain. "Oh! Let me get you a towel!" shouted Sango as she ran into the apartment to look for a towel. Miroku walked in, closing the door behind him. She came back carrying a big white T-shirt and a towel. She handed him both of them and watched as he pulled off his shirt and wiped his hair with the towel. He stopped when he noticed that Sango was staring at him and a smile appeared on his face. Sango blushed when she realized that he was staring back at her. Miroku walked up to her and grabbed her in his arms, making her blush even more and leaned down to kiss her. Just before their lips touched he pulled away and turned around. Sango's heart was beating extremely fast from anticipation.

"Where's Ichigo?" said Miroku as he walked into the dining room.

"H-h-he's sleeping in m-my r-r-room!" shouted Sango as she ran after him.

"Oh, I see."

Sango walked up to him and hugged him from behind right when he was about to sit down at the table. Miroku put his hands over hers and sighed.

"Miroku…I…I…I…love you…" she said as heart began racing fast again.

"I see." replied Miroku as he pulled her hands off of him and sat down. Sango felt like she was stabbed in the heart and sat down as well. They ate dinner in silence.

The Daiyoukai's Residence

Sesshomaru, Kagome and Inuyasha were in the dining room about to have dinner. They were waiting for Rin to come back. Sesshomaru was beginning to become impatient and went to try to find her again.

"I wonder where Rin went." whispered Kagome to Inuyasha.

"Yea. It's kind of weird. Rin's always the first to eat." replied Inuyasha.

"Maybe she's feeling nauseas again."

"Maybe."

Rin had just come out of the bathroom. Her morning sickness had been bothering her a bit and to make it even worse, she was still hungry. She then walked over to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. "What the…That Sara girl must've locked me inside…" thought Rin as she started banging on the door. She also began shouting "LET ME OUT!!"

It was 13 minutes before Sesshomaru heard Rin's shouts. He opened the door to his room when he heard the loud banging. She fell into his arms exhausted from banging the door for so long. He picked her up and carried her into the dining room. He put her down and she held on to his arm for awhile.

"Daijobu?" asked Sesshomaru as he kissed her on the forehead.

"Hai!" she replied as she smiled up at him.

He led her to the table and they sat down. She sat down next to Kagome and Sesshomaru. She shot Sara a nasty glare before she began eating. Sara closed her eyes when she noticed this. "Aka-chan seems very hungry today." giggled Kagome as she ate her dinner. "Hai hai! I hate snapper but she really seems to like it. It's the only thing that makes my nausea go away." replied Rin as she grabbed another piece of the snapper. Sara's eyes grew very large when she heard Rin talk about her baby. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What are you going to name her?" asked Inuyasha as he ate some onigiri. "Ano, I haven't really thought about a name yet. Why don't you ask Sesshomaru?" said Rin as she picked up some sake. Sesshomaru quickly grabbed it out of her hand and said "Rin" in a very cold tone. Rin suddenly shivered at the tone of his voice "Gomen! Gomen ne! I didn't know it was sake." Inuyasha then looked at the glass with the sake and said "Who gave you sake? Hey Jaken! Get some apple juice for Rin over here!" Jaken came out very quickly carrying a tall cold glass of apple juice. Rin drank it very quickly and Jaken brought her another one right away. Kagome suddenly noticed that Sara had been glaring at Rin the whole time while she was playing her flute. "I talked to Sara…and she wants to confess her love to Sesshomaru…" whispered Kagome to Inuyasha. "So ca. Well, it's like I said; Sesshomaru only likes how she plays the flute." replied Inuyasha as he motioned for Jaken to take away his plate.

Rin had already finished two helpings of dinner and was now on desert. Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he watched her devour the desert in a matter of seconds. It always amazed him that she would never get herself messy despite the amount of food she ate. "So Sesshomaru, what shall we name our aka-chan?" asked Rin as she put her hands on her tummy. Sesshomaru hesitated for a bit before saying "Namie" "Oh that's a cute name if she's a girl. But what if it's a boy?" asked Kagome. "How about Natsuo?" said Rin as she stood up and put her arms around Sesshomaru. "Sure." replied Sesshomaru as he pulled Rin into his lap. Sara began playing faster and faster the closer Rin and Sesshomaru got to each other. Her flute suddenly broke in half from the amount of pressure she was putting on it and she ran out of the room. "If you'll excuse me." said Rin as she followed after Sara.

"What do you think Rin's going to do?" asked Kagome as she looked at Inuyasha.

"Keh! Who knows?"

"What if she does something bad Sesshomaru?" asked Kagome as she turned her head to look at Sesshomaru. "Hnn." He replied as he folded his arms. "I just hope she takes it easy since she's pregnant…" thought Kagome as she shook her head.

The Apartment

Miroku and Sango had been sitting in the living room in silence as well. They were watching a horror movie. Sango kept on jumping in her seat whenever a scary part would come up. Miroku looked over at her shivering in her seat and put his arms around her. She started to calm down as soon as he had touched her. Her heart began racing faster and faster every time Miroku pulled her closer and closer to his bare chest. "Miroku…?" she said as she put her arms around him. He looked down at her and ran his fingers through her hair.

"Hai, Sango?" said Miroku as he kissed her on her forehead.

"You…you don't believe me when I say I love you do you?" she said as she looked up at him with teary eyes.

"Sango…I told you…it's hard for me to trust you now…"

"I…I know…"

"But I don't think you're lying about it…"

"Do you still love me?"

"I never stopped loving you Sango." replied Miroku as he leaned down to kiss her on the lips. She ran her hands up his chest as he kissed her all over her neck. He left a trail of hickies all the way down her neck and to her collar bone. He then pulled off her shirt and held her close to him as he continued leaving kisses all over her neck. "Miroku…" she sighed as he slowly kissed her down between her breasts. He was about to remove her bra when Ichigo suddenly began crying. Two large water droplets appeared on their faces and Sango turned a bright shade of red. "I guess I'll go get him…" said Miroku as he walked away from Sango. He then ran back to her and kissed her very passionately on the lips and said "I love you…" Tears began falling from her eyes as she hugged him tightly. Ichigo then started crying again and Miroku went to get him.

Sango quickly put her shirt back on and sat down on the couch. Miroku then came back out with his shirt back on and carrying Ichigo in his arms. Sango turned off the movie and put another movie in that Ichigo could watch. Ichigo sat right between them and was holding both of their hands. He then said "Oka-tan and Otou-tan are happy now!" and smiled up at both of them making them laugh at him.

The Daiyoukai's Residence

Inuyasha and Kagome had gone out onto the balcony at the back of the mansion and were watching the moon. Inuyasha was hugging Kagome from behind as they watched the beautiful view together.

"It's so beautiful tonight." said Kagome as she turned around to hug Inuyasha.

"You look even more beautiful though Kagome…" replied Inuyasha as he kissed her on her cheek. "Close your eyes, I have something I want to give you…"

"Hai hai." She said as she closed her eyes. She felt something slide onto her finger. She opened her eyes to see a beautiful diamond ring on her finger. "Will you marry me…again?" said Inuyasha as he kneeled down and took her hand. Kagome giggled a bit by the fact that they have been married before in the past and said "Yes! Of course I will!" They then kissed each other and went back inside.

Rin had caught up to Sara quite quickly and stepped on the end of her kimono which sent her falling to the ground, face first. She then picked her up from the back of her kimono and punched her so hard that she flew 8 feet in front of her. Sara tried to run away from her as fast as she could but Rin caught up to her again and grabbed her by her throat. She plunged her into the floor and got down next to her, still holding onto her throat. Rin's eyes had changed a blood red color and they had a gold lining around them; two violet red markings appeared on both sides of her face and a black crescent moon was on her forehead but was much fuller than Sesshomaru's own. "Now I know that you are the one who locked me in Sesshomaru's room, but I won't say anything because I know how much Sesshomaru likes the way you play the flute, and I want him to be happy. If you ever try to bother me again, you won't ever see Sesshomaru or daylight again!!" said Rin as she got up and walked off. Sara just lay there shivering from shock. She slowly got up and looked for Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru was quite shocked to see the changes that had happened to Rin due to her pregnancy. His eyes widened a great deal as she approached him. Her eyes had gone back to their normal color but the other changes were still there.

"Ano…Sesshomaru…why are you staring at me like that?" said Rin as she walked over to him.

"Your pregnancy has caused you to change quite quickly." He replied as he gave her a small mirror.

"So ca. I like it. Demo, why did this happen?"

"Whenever a youkai male and a ningen female mate, the female's body changes in order for her to accommodate the baby and in order for her to protect it."

"Sugoi…I wonder what kind of powers I have!" replied Rin as a big grin appeared on her face.

"Rin. You need to rest remember."

"Hai hai! I won't cause too much damage." replied Rin as she walked off to cause some chaos. She suddenly collapsed and Sesshomaru caught her before she hit the ground. "Rin." Replied Sesshomaru as he picked her up and sat her down next to him. "I-yo. Fine. I will rest." She replied as she fell asleep in his lap.
