Angela sighed, content. Inuyasha and her had been staying at her mom's mansion a month and a half now, but she wanted to really get back to her house in the village. "Angela, come on, it's time to eat." Inuyasha came in saying. Angela giggled. "Alright, help me up first." Angela said, holding her hands out. Inuyasha grumbled, but did as was told. Slowly lifting her up to stand from her laying down. Suddenly, Angela felt a pain in her back, and gasped. 'are you okay Angela?" Inuyasha asked, worried. Angela nodded. "Yeah, just some pain in my back is all, it's okay. Come on, let's get some food." As they walked to the hall, Angela tried to ignore the pain, and as it subsided, she almost forgot the whole thing.
Later that night, Angela was with Hanako and Inuyasha, and Angela was feeling a strong pain in her hip area, as well as her back now. Angela gave a whimper as another wave of those pains hit her. Inuyasha was at her side in an instant. "Angela, are you okay? What's wrong?" Angela looked into worried golden eyes. "I don't know, I keep having these pains in my back and in my hips, and there getting more painful, and more frequent." Hanako stood up. "Well then, we have to go now." "Where?" "What's happening?" Angela and Inuyasha said at the same time. Hanako smiled, but it wasn't her usual silly smile. "Angela, going to have your babies now." They both blanched. "WHAT?!" They said in unison. "We need to get you to the birthing room now." Angela looked at Inuyasha, "But Inuyasha won't be able to come in, will he?" Hanako looked at Inuyasha as well. "No, he will have to wait outside of the room. Angela went to Inuyasha's side, and hugged him, he hugged her back. "I'm scared." She whispered to him, and he nuzzled her. "It'll be fine, we'll be outside, waiting for you." Inuyasha said comforting her. As they walked to the room, Angela was now doubling over in pain, Inuyasha had to half carry her to the room. There, they redressed her in a thin, white dress, and Hanako told Inuyasha that they had to leave her then, Inuyasha gave Angela a deep kiss, and slowly was removed out of the room by Hanako. Angela laid down, then the midwife came in, caring for her.

Inuyasha was pacing in front of Hanako. Hanako, slightly irritated, smiled. "Inuyasha, sit down." Inuyasha stopped, then sat next to her crossing his one leg, he let the other leg stand, and he put his arm over the leg. But then writhing a few minutes, Inuyasha's leg that was up began bobbing up and down, making his arm do the same thing. After several minutes of this-as well as Inuyasha growling softly- Hanako closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were a green color. Suddenly, a green glow surrounding him, and Inuyasha couldn't move, nor make any noise. Hanako looked at him. "You'll be staying like that for a few minutes, and then I will release you, and you won't pace, or bob your leg again." Then Hanako went to a window near her. "Hmm, looks like a storm is coming." CRACK! Hanako flinched as the flash of lightning appeared, and soon following the thunder. "I have a bad feeling about tonight." Inuyasha heard her whisper, and became even more worried.
-AaAa-
Angela screamed, feeling like she was being ripped into two. She heard a loud boom outside, and knew it was thunder and lightning. Then something clicked in her head, she felt a sickening dread blossom inside of her, and she was very afraid- just as Hanako was. She heard the midwife say. 'almost there, one more time should do." Angela did as she was told, and heard the sound of small crying. Angela sighed, but was told to continue pushing. As she did what she was told, she heard another small crying sound. "Congratulations princess, you have twins. A boy and a girl." Angela sat up, and was presented her two kids, and the midwife left to tell Inuyasha. Before she could look closely at them, she heard another BOOM, and then she could smell something burning. Within a second she knew what it was; The lightning had hit the top of the mansion, now it was on fire! Angela tried to get up, but was still too weak from childbirth. 'Inuyasha!' Angela screamed in her head, as a piece of the burning building collapsed, falling over her. She closed her eyes, and felt a barrier go up just before the tinder would have fallen on her. "Angela!" Angela looked, seeing Inuyasha. As Inuyasha got to her side, he hugged her, giving enough energy to run. "You have to get out of here." He said, as he placed his fire rat robe on her. "What about you?" ANgela questioned, feeling completely scared. "I have to help evacuate everyone. Now. GO!" Inuyasha commanded. Angela looked away, and began to leave the room.
Angela had made it out of the mansion, and she was with her mother, father, and Inuyasha's parents. They had their eyes trained on the building, and Angela moved closer, hoping to see Inuyasha walking out of the mansion. She flinched as the mansions roof collapsed, and she heard people whisper, "No one can make it out of a mansion that's collapsed." Tears fell, and in her loudest voice, yelled; "You IDIOT. STUPID! You can't die, not now. Not EVER! You can't leave our family like that. You stupid JERK!" Angela couldn't say anymore as her throat closed up with tears, and she looked at her two crying babies. He eyes widened as she looked at her two babies. The girl had blood red hair, and little red dog ears on top of her head, and when she opened her eyes slightly, Angela knew that she had golden eyes. The boy had silver hair, and blue eyes, but no dog ears. 'This is just like in that one dream!' She realized that for awhile now she had known that the dream was a vision, but she didn't want to believe it. 'And now my Inuyasha's gone.' she thought bitterly. "YOU STUPID IDIOT INUYASHA!" Angela screamed once more for good measures. "HEY! I'm NOT an idiot." Angela gasped as she saw Inuyasha jumping in front of her. "Stop calling me an idiot." "Then stop acting like an idiot, idiot! You are a father now, that means you can't just do what you want to, because you have to be here for me and the children." At the word "father'' Inuyasha stopped arguing, and looked down, his ears laying flat. "I'm sorry Angela. I wouldn't leave you and the children alone. Not ever. I'm sorry that I made a wrong decision, but I'll learn." Angela calmed down at his statement, and moved closer, and as he looked at her she kissed him.
After a few minutes of them kissing, the babies decided that they didn't want to be ignored anymore, and began to cry. As Angela and Inuyasha pulled apart, the both looked at the two babies in Angela's arms. Inuyasha held his hands out. "Can I hold one of them?" Angela gave him a look that clearly said "well, you are their father." "Sure." she said, and handed him the little baby boy. Inuyasha looked astonished. "I didn't even sense that we were going to have a baby boy. He's good at hiding." Angela giggled. "Yeah, and we still need to name them." Inuyasha thought about it. "How about, for our boy, Toshiro. Since he is intelligent, and very talented at hiding, even before he was born." Angela thought about it, and nodded. "And how about for our girl, Kagami. Since she is a mirror image of her mother, with the exception of her eyes." Inuyasha sent out there. Angela looked down at their kids. "Toshiro and Kagami. I like the sound of that. Kagami and Toshiro are perfect." Then the rest of the family came over to see the twins, and unnoticed by the family, the rain slowed to a stop.

Kagome woke up, stretched, and smiled, feeling Kurama's arm tighten on her, but not too hard. Kagome smiled, in the last two months her stomach had barely started to show her pregnancy. Kagome carefully wriggled her way out of Kurama's embraced, and after making sure he hadn't waken up, she left to go to the kitchen. 'What should I make for breakfast.' Kagome was stopped from that thought by a sweet smell, and she looked up, and had a great idea. While she was making rice, she felt an arm wind around her waist, and tugged her to a strong chest. "Good morning Kurama." She whispered. "Why did you leave the bed without waking me up?" Kurama asked, and Kagome twisted slightly to look at him. "You looked so handsome, I just wanted to let you sleep. Besides, you probably needed it." "You were the one that needed it more than me, you're the one that's pregnant."
Kagome shrugged, and continued making breakfast. Shortly after, a sleepy Shippo came wondering into the kitchen. "Good morning Shippo." "Mornin', what's for breakfast?" "Rice, with plums, oranges, and peaches." Kagome said as she handed Shippo and Kurama a bowl each, and placed the three trays of stacked fruits in between them. As Shippo ate, he looked at Kagome question's were plainly seen in his eyes. "Where did you get this fruit Kagome?" Kagome had a mischievous look on her face, and pointed upwards. Shippo looked up, and gasped. Kurama had a look of satisfaction. In their branch roof, where there were still lots of leaves, were lots of colorful fruits, with magnificent scent. "How did our tree grow fruit in the winter?" Shippo asked. Kurama smiled. "It was an idea I had while creating this house, we will never have need of fruits, berries, or nuts again. This tree will grow all of those." Kagome smiled, and hugged him. "You are a smart man, Kurama." Then they began to eat. After that, they went for a walk, and they were surprised to see Inuyasha and Angela's hut in use, so they went to check it out.
As they knocked, they heard rustling, and Inuyasha appeared. "Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked surprised. Inuyasha snorted, "I live here, remember?" He asked. "What Kagome means, is that you left, and we figured that you would not return for another few weeks." Kurama said smoothly. Then they heard; "Inuyasha, let them in already, it's getting cold!" Inuyasha looked at them. "Well, come in then." And he held the door open for them. As they walked farther in, they saw Angela, holding two bundles. She looked up and smiled. "Come over here you three, and meet the new members of this family." As Kagome, Kurama, and Shippo walked closer, they could clearly see the faces of the two kids. "Ah, their sooo cute!" Kagome stated. Angela beamed, "what are their names?" Kagome asked. "Our baby girl's name is Kagami, and our boy's name is Toshiro." Kagome cooed at the names, and asked to hold one of them. Angela quickly agreed, and let her hold Kagami. Kagome held her tightly to her chest- tight enough not to drop her, but loose enough to not squish her. As Kagome giggled, so did Kagami. Then they both looked at Kurama when he started laughing himself. Kagome blinked. "What is it Kurama." "I'll tell you later." He said, which she accepted.
"Bye you guys, see you later." Kagome said as Kurama, Shippo, and her were continuing their walk. As they walked, they ran into Sango and Miroku. "Hey guys." Kagome exclaimed. "Hello Kagome, Kurama, and Shippo. It is a very nice day today to go walking." Kurama smiled, "yes, it is, the snow is beginning to melt, meaning spring will be on it's way." As everyone agreed, they continued talking, then they started talking about Inuyasha and Angela. "Their back now, with their two new babies." "Really, then maybe we should go over later and congratulate them." "Yes, well, they are the lucky ones. With Naraku still at large, most of us can't have much of a life." Sango said. Kagome looked angry at that. "You're right Sango, I wish Naraku would just come out of hiding, and let us defeat him so that we can move on." Just the, an ominous wind picked up, and everyone could feel Naraku's energy on the wind.
"It would seem like you just had you're wish come true Kagome. Naraku seems to be a few days away from her. We'll need to pack, and gather everyone, but we can go defeat him." Kurama said. "Heh, don't forget me. I'll be coming too." Inuyasha said, and everyone looked at him and Angela who had just appeared out of the trees. "Inuyasha, are you sure, leaving Angela and your babies?" Inuyasha snorted, "don't forget I was on this quest from the beginning also, so I have to end this with you guys. Angela, you understand, right?" Angela nodded, and everyone could see that she meant it. Angela walked closer the Inuyasha, and kissed him. "Just remember to come home, relatively unharmed, okay? You promised." Inuyasha nodded, and hugged her and his kids. With that, everyone began to prepare for the final battle that was to come.
