Chapter 8
New Life and Inuyasha saves Lagertha.
Three months have passed and it's spring. Sango is now six months pregnant. And is showing a large baby bump. She thinks that she might be having twins. Luckily a mid wife has moved into the the village. Lagertha has just got back from demon slaying mission. She put her horse in the paddock. Just then she felt strong arms around her. Knowing that it was Inuyasha she let her guard down.
"Hey there you how was your mission?" asked Inuyasha
"It went well and I'm glad to see you too." replied Lagertha
Inuyasha and Lagertha have been courting for two now. Today Inuyasha plans on taking Lagertha somewhere.
"Lagertha I want to take you somewhere special to me." stated Inuyasha
"Ok let me go get my horse." suggested Lagertha
"No let your horse rest you can ride on my back." offered Inuyasha
Inuyasha knelt down and Lagertha got on his back. The hanyou stood and took off running. Two hours later Inuyasha is running through a clearing. The clearing is littered with flowers. Inuyasha stopped for a moment and picked a bunch of flowers. Then he took off running again. He reached back and gave some of the flowers to Lagertha. Lagertha took the flowers and smiled. Then see looked and saw a lake just ahead. Soon Inuyasha is at the edge of the lake. Lagertha thought that he was going to stop. But instead he jumped and she hopes there is something for him to land on. Soon she saw a small island with a tree on it.
Inuyasha landed on the small island and knelt down. Lagertha got off of his back and looked around. She saw Inuyasha walk over to the tree so she followed. Inuyasha folded his legs underneath him and sat. Lagertha did the same thing and looked and saw a stone with writing on it. Inuyasha placed the flowers that he had in hand by the stone. Luckily Lagertha has been learning how to read and speak the language. Spoken in the feudal era. She looked at the stone again and it read Izayoi.
"Why are we here?" What was this woman to you"? asked Lagertha
"This is my mother's grave. I have only brought one other person here and that was Kikyo." explained Inuyasha
"Oh my you brought me to your mother's grave. I am touched Inuyasha." marveled Lagertha
They sat in silence for a moment then Inuyasha spoke. "Mother this is Lagertha. She is very special to me."
"What kind of person was your mother?" asked Lagertha
"She was very kind and very loving." answered Inuyasha
It was late when Inuyasha and Lagertha got back home. Three months have passed and Miroku, Kohaku, and Inuyasha are. Sitting outside Miroku's house. Inside the house Sango is in labor. The midwife and Lagertha are in the house as well. They are helping Sango give birth. Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kohaku have been waiting outside for hours.
"So Miroku what are you hoping for?" A boy or a girl?" asked Kohaku
"As long as the baby is healthy/ I'm not going to mind if it's a boy or a girl." replied Miroku
Just then they heard the cry of a newborn baby. But they stayed outside until someone tells them other wise. Ten minutes went by then they hears crying again. A little while later Lagertha came out.
"Congratulations Miroku you're a father of two baby girls." announced Lagertha
Miroku stood and went inside and so did Kohaku. Inuyasha stood and hugged Lagertha.
"How did she do Lagertha?" asked Inuyasha
"She did very well. Sango and the twins are doing well." informed Lagertha
Lagertha and Inuyasha have been courting for five months now. Later that day they found out that Sango and Miroku. Named their twins Kinu and Gyokuto. That night the village celebrated the birth of Sango and Miroku's twins. A month has passed and summer has begun. Right now Inuyasha and Lagertha are on their way home. They had gone on a demon slaying mission together. Lagertha is riding her horse and Inuyasha is running along side. They are most of the way home when Inuyasha stopped dead in his tracks. Lagertha stopped her horse and rode over him. She can hear him growling and he has his hand on the hilt of Tessaiga.
"What's wrong Inuyasha? Do you smell a demon?" asked Lagertha
"Yeah I smell a demon alright. But this is demon that you don't want to mess with. I can handle this one on my own go home." ordered Inuyasha
With that said Inuyasha smacked the rump of Lagertha's horse. The horse took off at a gallop.
"I know you're there Sesshomaru. You can some out." advised Inuyasha
Sesshomaru came out of the shadows and glared at Inuyasha.
"I have heard that you've been seen with a strange. Human woman from another time." informed Sesshomaru
"Feh I don't give a damn what you've heard." responded Inuyasha
"Have you learned nothing from what happened to Kagome?" asked Sesshomaru
"My relationship with Lagertha is different. And I know that she can take care of herself in a fight. Plus none of this is your business." growled Inuyasha
Sesshomaru drew Bakusaiga and Inuyasha drew Tessaiga. With Lagertha she trusts Inuyasha's judgment. And has kept her horse at a gallop. Suddenly she felt a strong gust of wind that she knew was from the wind scar. Lagertha knows that Inuyasha only uses the wind scar. When there are a lot of demons and when he is against a strong opponent. Worried she turned her horse around. And headed back toward Inuyasha. She stopped her horse when she got close. Lagertha looked and saw that Inuyasha is fighting. She looked and saw a tall man. He has long white hair, two magenta stripes on each cheek and wrist, and has two swords. The man is wearing white and red clothes and armor. He swung his sword to attack.
"Bakusaiga!" yelled the man
"Backlash Wave!" yelled Inuyasha
Sesshomaru sheathed Bakusaiga then quickly drew Tenseiga.
"Meto Zangetsuha!" yelled Sesshomaru
The meto swallowed the backlash wave and seems to be pulling Inuyasha into it. Lagertha put her horse into a gallop to try to help. Inuyasha looked and saw Lagertha and her horse coming toward him. Once she got close she yelled "Grad a hold!" Inuyasha grabbed a hold of the horse's neck. Lagertha quickly turned her horse toward home.
"You won't get away." advised Sesshomaru
He used his light whip and sent it at Lagertha. His whip hit Lagertha's hands. Causing her to loose her grip of the reins. When the whip snaked back hitting Lagertha's legs causing her to fall off her horse. When she fell off she was pulled into the meto and the meto disappeared. Inuyasha stopped Lagertha's horse and glared at Sesshomaru.
"You better hope I get her out of the under world alive. Or I will come back and kill you." growled Inuyasha
Inuyasha swung Tessaiga and yelled "Meto Zangetsuha."
"It's a one way trip Inuyasha. You nor that woman will get out alive." warned Sesshomaru
Inuyasha opted to ignore Sesshomaru. And went into the meto and the meto closed behind him. Sesshomaru looked at Tenseiga said "Thank you for letting me to use the Meto Zangetsuha one last time." With Lagertha she's following a path. She's looking all around and doesn't see Inuyasha anywhere.
"Inuyasha where are you?!" yelled Lagertha
She didn't hear a response so she kept walking. Soon she is surrounded by demons. Lagertha got her shield off of her back and drew her sword. With Inuyasha he is frantically looking for Lagertha.
"Lagertha where are you?!" yelled Inuyasha
He didn't hear a response but he can slightly hears something else. Inuyasha can slightly hear the clanging of a sword. Hoping that it's Lagertha he decided to follow the noise. Back with Lagertha she has been fighting demons for ten minutes. She feeling weak and tired which isn't like her at all.
"What is this place? And why am I feeling weak and tired?" Lagertha asked herself
The demons surrounding Lagertha are gettin ready to attack. Lagertha got into a defensive stance. Just then she heard. "You damn demons get the hell away from her. Wind Scar!" She looked and was happy to see Inuyasha. He ran up to her and hugged her. Lagertha sheathed her sword and hugged back.
"Are you ok?" asked Inuyasha
"No I'm not I feel weak and tired." replied Lagertha
Inuyasha grabbed Lagertha's shield and strapped it to his back. And just as he went to pick up Lagertha. Her knees buckled but Inuyasha caught her. With Tessaiga still in his hand Inuyasha faced the way he came.
"Ok Tessaiga, Mother, Kagome, and Kikyo. Please help me get back to the land of the living. With Lagertha alive she means the world to me." pleaded Inuyasha
Tessaiga pulsated and turned black. Inuyasha swung his sword and yelled "Meto Zangetsuha!" Hoping for the best he jumped into the meto. Soon Inuyasha found himself landing on his feet. He looked around and saw grass, trees, and the sky. Which was turning orange, purple, and pink. Sighing with relief Inuyasha looked down at Lagertha. And her eyes are closed. He checked her pulse it's weak but at least she isn't dead. Just then Inuyasha heard a nicker. And saw Lagertha's horse trot up to him. He grabbed the reins and headed home. By the time Inuyasha got back to the slayers village. He was about ready to collapse.
The combination of fighting Sesshomaru and looking for Lagertha in the underworld. Has worn him out. He let go of the horse's reins outside of their hanyou went inside and laid Lagertha down. He then took her shield off of his back then collapsed. Onto the floor next to Lagertha. Outside Miroku saw Lagertha's horse outside Inuyasha's house. Wondering if something was wrong he looked into the house. He saw both Inuyasha and Lagertha are laying on the floor. Figuring that they were tired Miroku took care of Lagertha's horse for her. Inuyasha and Lagertha were out for the rest of the evening and through out the night.
