Chapter 1

Koga and Ayame

"How are you feeling Kagome?" Inuyasha asked his mate after they both woke up.

"Tired." Kagome replied wiping the crust away from her eyes. "How about you?"

"I slept all night." Inuyasha lied. He wasn't about to tell his mate that he fought Koga last night again for the second time that week.

It's been two weeks since Kagome became a hanyou. For her, making the transition from a human to a hanyou was difficult. But, she bore it with pride. Besides, Inuyasha has been this way all his life. I can live the rest of my life like this with Inuyasha. Kagome thought to herself. That was all she could ever think about. Then, one night, Inuyasha asked her something that would change both their lives forever.

Last Week

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said suddenly getting her attention away from their search of Sango and Miroku.

"What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking back at him through her long bangs that she grew out.

"After we find Sango and Miroku, do you, uh," Inuyasha started, "Do you want to, uh…"

"What are you trying to say Inuyasha?" Kagome asked utterly confused at her mate.

"Do you want to do what you promised me last week?" Inuyasha asked unable to finish what he was thinking.

"What was that?" Kagome asked. "I promised you a lot of things last week."

"To have my child." Inuyasha whispered. Kagome still heard it.

"You want to do that? After we find Sango and Miroku?!" Kagome asked turning away from Inuyasha and blushing at the same time.

"Is it to soon for that?" Inuyasha asked worriedly. He didn't want to push her into anything that she didn't want to do. (I'm making it like a book that I read earlier. It's called Hawksong by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. It's a really good book.)

"I didn't say that Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed turning back to him. "I just had to think for a minuet."

"So? What's your answer?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Is it not that obvious that you even have to ask?" Kagome asked confusing Inuyasha. "Of course Inuyasha!" Kagome happily yelled jumping into Inuyasha's arms and kissing him energetically. Inuyasha was taken aback by Kagome jumping on him. As soon as he regained his head, (figuratively) he returned Kagome's kisses just as enthusiastically as Kagome had started them.

She must really love this form. Inuyasha thought. Or it's just me.

It's about time that he asked! Kagome thought as she continued to kiss her mate. Otherwise I would have to kick his ass!

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked when he ran out of breathe.

"Nani?"

"Maybe we should continue to look for Sango and Miroku." Inuyasha suggested. He actually just wanted to stop before he took advantage of the moment. (My mind can play tricks on me. Just like Inuyasha's can. Or Kagome's.)

"Alright." Kagome said disappointed. I thought that he was gonna take advantage of me this time. Kagome thought miserably. I guess that he didn't want to do that here in our present 'situation'. I'll just have to wait till later. Damn.

Present Day

Inuyasha and Kagome are still looking for Sango and Miroku. (I can be evil. Get over it.) "I can't believe that we still can't find them!" Inuyasha said smashing his hand into the ground in his frustration.

"We'll find them Inuyasha." Kagome said trying to sooth the pissed off hanyou.

"We've already looked in Kaede's village, Miroku's temple, and Sango's village." Inuyasha exclaimed smashing his back onto the ground behind him and looking into the night sky. "Where else do we have to look?"

"Don't ask me." Kagome said laying down next to Inuyasha. "I'm to tired to think."

"Then go to sleep." Inuyasha said wrapping his arm around Kagome's head and making a pillow out of it. "Nothing will attack you while you sleep."

"How do you know?" Kagome asked sleepily. "Koga's almost here anyway."

"Shit!" Inuyasha yelled as he stood up sharply to intercept the wolf youkia. As always, Koga maneuvered around Inuyasha and stopped right in front of Kagome.

"How is my sweet mate doing?" Koga asked ignoring Inuyasha's protests. "Ready to come with me I hope."

"Don't hold your breath Koga." Kagome warned eyeing the wolf suspiciously. "I'm already marked by Inuyasha."

"Not fully marked my mate." Koga said assuredly. "You are not yet carrying his child so, I can still lay a claim to you."

"Why can't you just go back to Ayame?" Inuyasha asked coming up behind Kagome and taking hold of her shoulders. "She's still waiting for you back at the cave."

"I don't think so Inuyasha." Kagome said picking up the scent of other wolf youkia. "There's more on the way."

"Uh oh." Koga said realizing who it was that was following him. "Ayame."

"KOGA!!" Ayame screamed as she drew up behind the frightened youkia. "YOU ARE IN SO MUCK TROUBLE!!"

"Ayame! I can explain!" Koga stuttered as he looked at the severely pissed of woman. "This isn't what it looks like!"

"Oh really? Well then why did I hear you ask Kagome to come back to the cave with you?" Ayame asked. "She's not even a wolf youkai!"

"Ayame! Onigai! It isn't what looks or sounds like!" Koga explained going to his knees.

"Well Koga." Inuyasha said looking at the wolf youkai on his knees. "Looks like you can't even stand up to your pregnant mate or have you not noticed yet?"

"What?" Koga asked looking up at Inuyasha surprised.

"That's right you asshole!" Ayame screamed her tears flowing freely down her face. "But you didn't even notice for one second! You were too busy thinking about Kagome to notice that I am pregnant with your child!"

"Ayame." Koga said stunned at what she was telling him. "I…I."

"You messed up big time Koga." Kagome finished for him.

"Hai." Koga said looking up at Ayame from the ground. "I messed up big. Can you forgive me?"

"I don't know." Ayame said through tears that were still falling from her eyes. "Give me one good reason why I should."

"Because." Koga began thinking of some reasons for her. "Because, I love you."

"What about her?" Ayame asked referring to Kagome.

"Me?" Kagome asked whispering and pointing at herself stupidly.

"I only wanted to take her away from Inuyasha." Koga explained. "I just couldn't see a hanyou mutt and a human miko together."

"I can tell that." Ayame said giving Inuyasha and Kagome a sideways glance. "Only, Kagome isn't a human miko Koga."

"I once was Ayame." Kagome explained taking a step toward the pregnant female wolf youkai. "Inuyasha made a wish on the Shikon Jewel to make me a hanyou so that I could stay with him. I also still have my miko powers that I got from my pre-incarnation." Kagome refused to say the dead persons name for fear that she would come out and attack her again.

"And who was that?" Ayame asked. (Ayame didn't know that Kagome was from the future.)

"Kikyo." Koga replied knowing what the name meant to Kagome. (Absolutely nothing!)

"How are you her reincarnation if you're from here and she's a dead bitch?" Ayame asked. "And Kagome must answer not you Koga."

"Well, I'm actually not from this time period." Kagome explained.

"What do you mean 'this time period?" Ayame asked confused.

"I'm from 500 years into the future." Kagome explained. "I fell into my family's well looking for me cat Buyo and I ended up here in the Feudal Era with Inuyasha and the rest of our friends."

"Whatever." Ayame said clearly lost in what Kagome had tried to explain. "I still have to deal with you Koga. Time to go home." With that, Ayame grabbed Koga by the ear and started running with Koga screaming behind her.
