Chapter 26 New beginning

How could of happen to her? She was a demon right? A full demon at this point in her life. She hated her life a little at this point. Things became complicated now, she is with a child now. Someone was growing inside her and soon to be born in two months. She smiled while looking down at the river. So icy, yet beautiful. She couldn't help now but to rub her belly genitally. "I will protect you," and looked up at the sky.

"Kagome," she thought she heard the snow crunch. She turn around to see her great great grandmother walking her way. "Kagome, my grandchild you are going to make my heart fail one day." she laugh a bit.

"Can that happen?" she asked with a smile. If she became pregnant then who not to say the the dead women walking couldn't have heart fail.

"To me no, for I have no beating, only a soul." she sat down next to Kagome. "Tell me what is on your mind?"

"I'm Pregnant."

"I know this."

"But I am a demon,"

"Your not normal,"

"Why me? Why now?"

Kikyo sighed then, "I heard that only Dragon demons can give birth, something about the body to keep it warm and the organs can never shut down. A strong demon you are Kagome you just don't notice this yet it seems. Or your a new kind of demon that no one knows of." she said. "Names?"

"I want a boy, maybe a girl I am not quite sure."

"A Boy? You speak of names with Inuyasha?"

"No, I have personal names for the boy."

"What the name?"

"I want to name him Isamu, after your son." She looked over and saw her grandmother tear up. "If that causes you pain then I will name him some other."

She wiped her tears, "So beautiful that you would name your child after your great grandfather." she sigh, "the girl?"

"Sakura." she said softly.

"Names that one will live up to." She stood up, "Come, we must head back, we have important matters to discuss at the cabin."

Entering the cabin she looked around and notice everyone, even Sesshomaru sat in the front room but Kaugra head was bent down as if she was in shame of something that had happen.

"A demon doctor will be here to check on you Kagome. Kaugra is also going to be leaving us, but visiting on occasions that best fits for her befits. Do not worry Kagome, this is an honor for Kaugra to be leaving to work for the council." Sesshomaru held no emotions when speaking about his wife leaving the house.

"But I am pregnant, I want Kaugra here and I don't want no doctor, I have Kikyo."

"I understand, but council find that Kikyo is unable. For she has no soul of her own."

She felt her family was being ripped apart now. All at once. "Kagome, its fine. You must stay calm now." it was Inuyasha voice speaking to her.

"No You don't understand Inuyasha, I want Kikyo with me. Not some doctor." She had turn to Inuyasha, she felt betrayed now by him. She put her hand on her belly, "Then I am leaving." she said.

"Kagome this is not the time to act childish." Kouga said at once. "This is the first born demon. We have to keep an eye on you, and make sure you are fine."

"Yea, not including the wedding in three days!" Keada said with a worry face. "You and Inuyasha are going to be the best demon couple ever."

Things just didn't seem fair right now. Kikyo wasn't going to look after her, some stranger, and Kaugra was leaving also. The top females she needed felt they would be disappearing soon, and she had no say in it. "It not a want, its a need for them to be here!" Kagome said looking at everyone face in surprised. "Don't you understand that? Kaugra you have to stay here for me! We are a family!" The thoughts of of her parents splitting up, and her brother is dead and she be alone again. She turn to run away hearing Kikyo only saying

"You guys brought up a very hurtful past."

How can they do this to her! She felt her blood boiled of anger, but she knew she couldn't do this. Lose control was a huge NO. She was to have a child. "Kagome," she turn around to see Shippo and Kouga.

"Kagome, its ok." Kouga said looking at her.

"Our family isn't going to be ruin at all. Kaugra will be back, Sesshomaru even said so!" Shippo said with a smile.

She seem so childish. How can she look at them, she was a grown adult ready to have a child and to be married.

"Lets go home, everyone wants to see you and Kaugra is making that dress so she needs to fit you with it." Kouga said, with a grin. "Will you spin around and show me what you look like before Inuyasha gets a chance to see." he laugh, she had smiled at the comment "Well don't you think I deserve it since you shock me so many times?"

"Sorry Kouga, but I think no one other then the girls should see her in that dress on our day." they turn to see a grinning Inuyasha. He walk to her putting his hands on her shoulders to pull her in a hug. "Its ok Kagome." he said. "I do understand what your feelings are since you were a child. But remember this isn't the end of the world." He whispered in her ears.

She squeezed her eyes shut and felt tears pour down. He was right, he had always been there for her since she was such a child. Not knowing him, but felt she had a guardian angel, no a guardian demon looking after her well being. "I acted so childish, how can they forgive me now?"

"You have the right to act this way. You are pregnant with a child." He said running his hands through her head. "Please come back and face everyone. This is who you are now, nothing about you have changed."

She could only nod in his chest and they pulled apart and they held hands following the two back home. They enter the house to see everyone still sitting, seem to be waiting for their return. "I'm sorry," she was soon caught off by Sesshomaru.

"Child, you are forgiven, but understand that this is a great honor for Kaugra and this family has been through a lot. We gain and lost and we are going to be receiving a child along the way." he said smiling. "It is natural that we keep living like there no other day." he said. He stood up, "Now Kaugra shall we leave to go into the next room?"

"Yes dear we shall leave to the next room." she said her eyes to the ground. They didn't seem so happy anymore together. Could they be calling it quits?

"Flowers, Flowers, Flowers." Keada chanted while working with flowers. Kagome watched with a smile on how happy she was.

"Keada, that is so beautiful, how you learn this?" Kagome asked.

"Years Kagome,"Keada grinned. Kagome looked at hers and it.... well wasn't what she wanted. "Your a tomboy Kagome I didn't think you could do something like this. I know it must be driving you crazy that you can not attend what the males are doing the heavy stuff." she said looking at Kagome who only smiled.

"Life is life, I was never good working with nature I guess is what I should be saying." she laugh at herself. She pulled out her sketch pad and started to flip through it with Keada looking over.

"That looks like Inuyasha, who that in his arms?"

"Its me when I was just a girl." Kagome whispered.

"Is this a memory?"

"Yes, I drew it when I was waiting in the car for Kikyo when we first came up here."

"He is a piece of work"

"What you mean?"

"He would shut himself out of everyone. It was like there was no contacting him at all. Until one day he came home with a ribbon, talking to Kouga about a young girl walking them down the sidewalk. That girl must have been you." she said. "You have changed his world Kagome."

'Just as he has changed mine.' she said to herself. She flipped through the pages and notice her last page. What to draw? She had no gift to give Inuyasha, why not a memory? She smiled and allowed her hand to dance around the paper with the charcoal pencil.

Staring at one self does bring someone to question about there looks while pregnant. In Kagome case she couldn't think of one. She found herself looking more different. Her belly showed a bit where a white dress flowed down to the ground.

"Kagome your perfect." Keada said squealed.

"Thank the lord I know how to stitch quiet fast. I am never out of practice." Kaugra said with a smile.

"So we ready to walk down that snowy isle?" Rin said clapping happy. Everyone had been waiting for this one day.

She took in a shaky breath. "Yes." she went to turn to leave but felt a hand on her arm.

"Hold on," it was Kikyo, she put a blue rose in her hair. "This will make you more you." She then smiled. "I will be able to see my family grow more." she turn Kagome around and slowly pushed her out the door to where Sesshomaru stood.

"Ready my daughter?"

Daughter, she closed her eyes and tears of joy spread through out her. Her own father could never of called her that, he mother hardly ever said that word either. "Yes father." she replied and he only smiled back, they walk down the snow where the cliff was and there stood Shippo with a bible. How confusing she was.

"Not to worry he was once able to work as a bonder for this kind of thing." he said whispering to assure her the idea of him. Inuyasha face held a smile and nice Kimono. It looked old, but new "He been saving that since the 1800s he been waiting for this day, waiting for you." he said They reached Inuyasha and Sesshomaru kiss Kagome head and took Inuyasha side.

"We gather here today" Shippo voice went on, and all Kagome could hear was her heartbeat, or that the babies heart? She couldn't tell, she just couldn't help but take glances to Inuyasha who stood beside her.

"Kagome do you take Inuyasha as your husband?"

"I do," she couldn't even think twice, did he already to Inuyasha?

"You may kiss your long eternity bride." Shippo said and without even a thought what he said she felt Inuyasha mouth on hers. She was no longer who she was. She was a man wife, form now to the rest of her life. Everyone clapped and cheered. They finally pulled away, to only see Inuyasha grinning from ear to ear.

"My wife," he said taking her in his arms in the bridal style and spinning around in circles.

"Careful Inuyasha. Thats my grandchild." Kikyo said laughing. "And great grandchild she carries!"

"No, problem Kikyo. After all thanks to you I have her here with me." and he kissed Kagome again and all she could was smile and laugh as he spin around in circles again. Then something moved around in her belly. She put her hand on her tummy and smiled.

"Inuyasha, the baby moved around." she felt him put her on her feet in front of everyone he put his head on her belly and there it was, kicking at his cheek. He kissed her stomach and stood up.

"Our child just congratulated us! The babe just moved!" Inuyasha announced to everyone and once again they cheered out of happiness. Everyone clapped, everyone wanted to touch her belly in hopes to feel something in her move to tell them this was not a dream.

She couldn't stop smiling, or laughing. She was in love she had her family, but in a few days Kaugra will be leaving once again to serve the council.
