How could it be? They just screwed the previous day. Hmmm.is Inuyasha hiding something? XD Of course, I know the answers! Read on and find out too!::
Inuyasha sat perched outside in the thousand-year-old tree, watching the steps that led up to the shrine for Kagome and her mother. It had been hours since the two had left for the hospital. So many times has he wanted to go find her, but Grandpa would give him more lectures on marriage and sex and responsibility. He finally managed to sneak out when Sota spilt his dinner on the floor. "Where is she? Is she ok?"
He just couldn't wait anymore. Inuyasha launched from the tree and soared high above the shrine. "Kagome," he whispered, narrowing his eyes down on the city below.
He came to a landing in an alleyway so he wouldn't more noticed by the mortals. Strolling into the street, he sighed. "I have to blend in around here," he muttered, totally disregarding the dog ears that sat upon his head.
At the first sight of black hair, Inuyasha ran over. He grabbed the shoulder of the woman and she turned. "Kagome! Are you al-wait."
"Get off me, you pervert!" The woman shrieked, slapping at the hanyou's hand. "Aren't you a bit too old to be dressing up like that?! You really are a dog! Get away!"
"Fine! Fine!" Inuyasha growled, removing his hand and glaring after that woman. "This is going to be harder than I thought, but I have to find her! I have to find Kagome!"
After about 10 more mishaps with women and their flowing black hair, Inuyasha retired into an alleyway. "Gods! Why does everyone around here have hair like hers? None are as pretty.or smell that good."
Inuyasha closed his eyes as he remembered their first night together. Rolling on the bed with their arms around each other.screaming their names.that night of passion and pleasure continued playing through his mind. He leaned back against a wall, sliding down onto the ground into a sitting position. "Where is she?"
"Kagome, there's another homeless man," a voice said from the street.
"Mama, we can't give each one of them potato chip!"
The voice was familiar! Inuyasha turned his head and saw Mrs. Higurashi and Kagome standing there, beginning an argument over a bag of potato chips that Kagome was holding. "Come on, Kagome! These poor men probably have had nothing to eat in days and you can't even spare another chip?!"
"No, Mama! I'm hungry! I didn't even get to eat dinner and I have this crav-Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha stood up off of the ground and slowly walked over to her. He was silent as he approached her and simply stared into her big brown eyes. Those eyes.he missed them so much. Her scent.no one's can even come close to the sweet, gentle smell. Suddenly, he threw his arms around her and pulled her close against him. "I missed you," he whispered softly into her hair.
"Inuyasha? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked, tilting her head back to look up at him. "Why aren't you back at the house with Grandpa and Sota?"
"You weren't there. You didn't come back. I thought something might have happened! I can't let anything happen to you, Kagome! I told you a long time ago that I would protect you."
"Oh, Inuyasha! Nothing happened! We left the hospital about an hour ago and I got hungry. We stopped off to get some food."
"The hospital.what did they say? Are you alright?"
"Uh."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with wide eyes that soon began to fill with tears. She stepped back from him and took his hands in hers. Inuyasha kept his gaze on her, not sure whether to be worried or not yet. Whenever she was serious like this, or ever cried, something was wrong. Was she not pregnant? Or as she and just didn't want to have his pups? "Inuyasha," Kagome began quietly, "they said that.they said.oh!"
Kagome pulled away and spun around, running off to the streets afterwards. "Kagome!" Both Mrs. Higurashi and Inuyasha shouted after her. "Come back!"
Inuyasha was ready to chase after her. He wanted to hold her and comfort her. Her tears.he hated to see her cry. He felt so helpless whenever she would. Mrs. Higurashi placed her hand onto Inuyasha's shoulder, smiling gently at him. "The doctors found something unexpected, Dear."
"She is going back to the shrine, right?"
"I see no reason why she wouldn't, Inuyasha."
"Well then, let's go meet her there."
Inuyasha whirled Mrs. Higurashi onto his back and wasted no time in jumping up into the air. Mrs. Higurashi, through the entire flight to the shrine, had a death grip around his waste. She screamed in his ear every ten seconds whenever she would look down at Tokyo. It was a definite relief when he finally set down on the grounds of the Higurashi residence.
Mrs. Higurashi uneasily got off of Inuyasha's back. She thanked him weakly and swayed awkwardly to the house. He, however, remained outside to wait for Kagome to arrive. "Why did she run off? Does she not want to have my pups? She talked about getting married.but never about having kids. Her grandfather talked about so many things about it. He said I should have used.rubber things. Condos or something like that. Not like I'd know how to use it.but.would Kagome have wanted that? But, why wouldn't she want to have pups?"
"Because I wasn't ready for that yet."
Kagome stepped out from behind a tree with her head bowed. Why hasn't he been able to smell her? Was it because of the being now forming inside of her? "Kagome." Inuyasha whispered, not moving for his spot. "I'm.sorry if you don't want to mother my pups.
"No! Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed, throwing herself into his arms. "I do! I do! I just didn't expect it to be so soon! I mean, I'm still in high school. There's still a piece of the shard to find. And just those two times.But, it did happen. I'm glad it happened with you, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha locked his arms around Kagome, holding her closely to him. Each beat her heart against his would ease the worry he was feeling. Each breath against his neck would slowly increase his heart rate and the warmth that flowed through his veins.
"Kagome, I would take you now.but you left me with your grandfather all that time. He says if I touch you again while we're on the shrine, your ancestors will come and eat me from the inside out."
"Grandpa!" Kagome grunted, a sweat drop on her forehead forming.
Once inside, it was required by Grandpa for Inuyasha and Kagome to sleep in different places. Kagome kept her room and Inuyasha had the couch into their living room. It was ironic because this time, it was Kagome who first broke the sleeping arrangement.
As Inuyasha lay fast asleep on the couch, Kagome tip-toed into the room. This was really the first time she saw him this peaceful when he slept. Looking closely, she could have sworn that a smile was playing on his lips. Kagome carefully set herself down on the ground next to the couch. However, her cautiousness didn't prevent Inuyasha from waking up.
"Kagome?" He muttered gently as he sat up on the couch. "Is their something you need?"
"No.I.just wanted to talk to you about something that I just remembered."
"Well, then," Inuyasha began, hoisting Kagome onto his lap. "Let's talk."
"Last night.when you came here in human form.you still had your claws. Why did that happen?"
"I can't tell you that, Kagome," Inuyasha simply replied.
"Inuyasha! A relationship is built off of trust. Don't you trust me enough to tell me why you were still part youkai?"
"I do trust you. It's just if.if I told you, you wouldn't trust me afterwards."
"Try me."
"I took a small piece of the Scared Jewel last night," he said, lifting up his bangs to show a tiny Shikon shard in his forehead. "I wanted to become human last night for you. I wanted to stay human for at least a little longer after sunrise. I guess it only spend up my hanyou form."
"Come again?" Kagome asked, narrowing her eyes. "You did what? You went into my bag?! Back at camp, you went through my bag! Why didn't you ask me or tell me or anything?! What was the point, anyway? You were still going to be human!"
"Like I said, I wanted to be human longer for you. Just because.you were human as well so you would have liked it more. I was a fool, though. It kept me part youkai instead."
Kagome nodded slowly; partially angry, yet understanding. She then sighed and wrapped her arms around him. "Inuyasha.tell me next time, alright? When we go back to the village, you can return the shard to my bag and we'll pretend that you never took it. Once we find the last jewel shard, then you can make your choice about becoming human or demon."
"You mean, if we don't find it before the wedding, you would still marry me?"
"Of course, silly! With or without your dog ears, you're still my one and only true love! And remember Inuyasha, we're already married by your demon standards! There's no need to wor-"
"Kagome! Are you down there?" Came a shout from Grandpa.
"-ry." Kagome continued with a sigh. "Did you and Grandpa get along, nevertheless?"
"Besides telling me stories on if I touch you before we're married my nuts will fall off? I say we got along just fine."
::Hopefully this was a bit longer and better for you. Buwaha! See my twist? It's not quite over yet. The next chapter should be a bit more humorous. Wow.Kagome's gonna have her baby. That fast? Wow. Go Inuyasha! ^___^ Stay tuned! I'll put it up as soon as possible!::
