Inuyasha's 18th

Chapter 21

I'm pregnant

"KAAGOOOMEEE!!!" Sometimes Kagome swore Shippou could fly as she dropped her bag just in time to catch him in her arms. "You've been gone for 25 days!" He cried into her shoulder.

"Oh Shippou, I'm sorry………here, look in my bag." Shippou eyed her curiously but jumped down grabbed a bag of chocolates and leaped right back into her arms.

Inuyasha hadn't said a word yet, he picked up the huge yellow bag and followed closely as the three walked back to the village.

Shippou talked mainly about himself and the things he'd collected while they were gone. They came upon the welcoming village and were greeted by Sango throwing Hiraikotsu at the lecherous monk.

"Kagome! You're back!" Sango ran to her friend and hugged her tightly. Before Kagome could politely ask her not to squeeze her stomach, Inuyasha had Sango's arms and pried her off. "Hey! Inuyasha! I can hug her!" Sango yelled.

"No you can't." Inuyasha said gruffly.

"………"

"Let's go to Kaede's and give her a chance to answer." Miroku said cheerfully. He noticed that Kagome wasn't wearing her normal uniform but a baggy shirt and jeans. Miroku also noticed how protective Inuyasha was being. 'I wonder…' he grinned evilly.

Kagome was still talking to Shippou when they walked in the hut.

"Ah, Kagome, welcome back." The elderly woman smiled. Inuyasha whispered into Kagome's ear and she laughed. Everyone in the room was a little shocked, Shippou and Kirara, being able to hear, grew disgusted looks on their faces. (lol just imagine what they could have said! Lol!)

"SO what's the important thing you had to tell us all?" Sango asked. They all sat down around the small fire pit. Sango sat next to Kaede and Miroku close to Sango, who eyed him questioningly.

Inuyasha say down but instead of having Kagome sit next to him, he grabbed her arms and pulled her down onto his lap, resting his chin on her shoulder. The room went silent, all now understood what the important news was. They all now knew why Sango was pulled off of Kagome by Inuyasha, why she shouldn't hug her friend so tightly, and why Inuyasha seemed way too protective of her.

Once again, Inuyasha whispered something to her ear, only this time, Kagome smiled at him, then turned back to the others with more confidence.

"I'm pregnant." She waited for their reactions.

~silence~

~small smiles~

~laughter and ~~soft~~ hugging~

~a growling Inuyasha~

"Congratulations Inuyasha, maybe now I can get Sango to give me one." Miroku patted his friend's shoulder.

"Perverted ******* ***** **** ********** ********" Inuyasha mumbled.

It was a good thing Sango didn't hear what Miroku had said or he might not be with us today.

"I can't believe this! Oh Kagome I'm so glad for you!" Sango bounced around happily.

"Yes, my blessings Kagome." Miroku smiled.

"Ye are young, with a quarter demon on the way." Kaede spoke to herself, making sure Inuyasha heard her though. His ears twitched and he nodded to Kaede knowing what she meant.

"So, who's child is it?" Miroku joked around.

"It's mine you fool!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Inuyasha! He was just kidding." Kagome sad and made him sit back down. Inuyasha pulled her back down with him, glaring at the smirking monk.

"If you even think of touching her…." Inuyasha started. Kagome twisted in his iron grip and started to scratch his ears.

Almost immediately Inuyasha began to purr. He leaned forward, kissed her then rested his head on her shoulder. Kaede motioned for everyone to get out of the hut. Shippou made a small complaint but when he saw them kissing he rushed out.

Inuyasha noticed they were gone and got a smirk on his face. He was in a small room with his mate, no one else was around, and it was early in the day so neither of them were tired. 'Perfect.' He thought.

Kagome stopped rubbing his ears, much to Inuyasha's displeasure. He growled playfully and nudged his face to her neck, begging her to scratch some more. Kagome laughed as he tickled at her neck. She scratched his ears again, noting that he fell right on top of her.

"Jeeze Inuyasha! I got to know how much you weigh." She laughed as he kissed her collar bone and she felt him losing his control.

"Kagome……….?" He questioned her, asking permission to go on. He lifted his head to look her in the eyes.

Kagome was a little surprised, in Kaede's hut, the middle of the day? She saw the stripes that started to fade onto his cheeks and his eyes burned with a passion. She smiled and nodded her head, a little embarrassed still that they were mates.
