Hey guys! I swear I do not mean for it to take so long between chapters! But I don't have any excuses to defend myself... Please don't kill me.
Let's read!
The day after marked their last one in the past. Packing everything up again was such a long task. It seemed that it took forever even though everyone helped. In addition to the already heavy mood, settled by the dark gray cloud and the cold breeze, Inuyasha was nowhere to be found. Sesshomaru passed by, saying that his idiotic coward moron dick-for-brain (yeah yeah, he said all that himself) step-brother hid himself at his mother's grave, probably too ashamed to say goodbye to the only great person he ever had in his life. After sad goodbyes, exchanged promises and a lot of good memories, Shippo, Kagome and Koga were ready to go, leaving the two shards left with Sango and Miroku, inviting them to the wedding. After all, a week without children like two lovebirds could not hurt them. After going through the well, the fox, as much as he loved his foster mom, could not wait any longer to get back to his home, to his loving wife and adorable kids.
After walking hands in hands ALL THE WAY down the interminable stairs, the wolf opened the Jeep's door to his mate with a flirting smile, leaving all the stuff there for his pack to go pick up afterward. He was probably thinking some perverse things mainly about his future wife's marvelous body. It seemed to him that whenever she was involved, his thoughts could not stay away from the miko much long if at all. Truth be told, he did have his fair share of waiting for and running after this girl.
-Let's go home babe. I'm exhausted even if we just came back from vacation.
-Of course you're tired! You ARE creating a life inside of you after all. A precious little beautiful life.
He bend down to kiss her belly, quite a difficult task given the cramped place and the seatbelts. Each time the wolf thought about what was going on inside Kagome's body, he could stare in the blank for quite a while. Sometimes, he would pinch himself just to make sure he wasn't dreaming. It felt almost as if it was too good to be true. But then he turned around and it was all reality.
The ride was quiet, but not a awkward. It was that kind of comfortable silence between two people that completely understood each other. After that trip, they had a few peaceful heavenly weeks then… it came.
It was early May and Kagome was already sick of it. Her "morning" sickness was so bad, she could spend a entire day in the bathroom, puking her insides out. Koga's sensitive nose could tell all the way from the elevator. He had an hard time leaving her for anything really. Even at work, he just could not stop worrying, pacing all the time: in his office, in the study, in front of the bathroom door, the living room. He had called Ayame but the only answers he got was "it's normal", "bring her to the she-wolves" or "call one of her human circle". His thoughts were stopped by some sounds at the door.
Knock knock knock
A woman poked her head through. She had beautiful big curious green eyes, a smooth olive skin, long straight black hair down to her hips and an incredible smile.
-Hi boss.
-*sigh* Hi Emica.
He made her an hand sign to come closer. As she shyly walked in, she closed the door behind her. Koga could not help but notice the silence in her step, clearly different than Kagome's. Even if she wanted to, Emica could never pass as a human. Her she-wolf aspects were too obvious to anyone smart enough to notice. She stood there staring at him for quite a while before he felt to uncomfortable for that silence.
-Not that I dislike your company but… what brings you in my office?
-Oh! Yes, right. Ayame called me.
-Of course, she did.
-She sounded kind of worried. She said that our female Alpha was in deep need of help from her pack.
-Should've known she would do that. But I guess she knows that kind of stuff better than I do.
-I'm kind of afraid to ask but… Is Lady Kagome ok?
-She… is… pregnant.
-Oh my gods! But it's wonderful news!
-Yeah, but her body is not taking it well.
-What do you mean?
-Kag is weak. She's pale, she's always sick, she barely has enough of energy to walk from our bed to the living room, she has lost her appetite… I hate seeing her like that and I'm feeling kind of powerless in this.
-How long is she?
-She's in her seventh week. Does it matter?
-Well of course it does! You should have called ages ago!
-Excuse me?
He was not really in the mood to get talked back by one of his pack, especially not someone who is not already in position to. After all, Emica was not one of his Betas or Ayame, for that matter. Even if it hurt him to admit it, she was just a beautifully hot nobody.
-I'm really sorry Koga, but you really should have called us. Lady Kagome is a priestess. Mated to you, an Alpha, given, but she's still human. A wolf-youkai pregnancy needs a lot of demonic energy. Her body needs to be surrounded by her sisters so she can absorb our power and help the baby grow. She is an amazing woman, without a doubt, and she is more beautiful, gentle, generous and outsmarts a hell lot of wolves but she can't give what she doesn't possess: youkai powers. And isn't it time she actually meet us?
-Please, don't talk about that. I haven't told her yet. But, you are making a lot of sense for that other subject. What can I do now? And why isn't my energy enough? It's my child, my powers should suffice, no?
-A baby wolf needs both. Female and male energies. Your energy is MORE than enough for the male part. Don't worry, Boss. There is definitely nothing wrong about you and it's not your fault. Now, bring her to the gym. Tonight. She is going to spend a couple nights there with us. You're welcomed to stay and train and… be shirtless as much as you want.
-Emica…
-Just sayin. Even married, you will always be eye-candy.
And like that, she went off with her dancing steps, letting Koga alone and shocked. She-wolves could really be straightforward.
