A/N: HOWDEES PEOPLE! I feel sssssssooooooooo much better. I read all of
the reviews that you guys sent me and hey! I cheered up very quickly. I
still might dread Spanish, but at least I know that I have fans online that
can't wait to listen to me. I also took my Spanish test today, and
surprisingly it was fairly easy...although I don't think that I should say
that, I might jinx myself. This chapter gets back to our favorite hanyou
and the wife of the sweet and wonderful, Mirror Sesshy. Inu-Yasha shows
his softer side, and in the next chapter that we go back to Mirror Sesshy
and the real Kagome, Shippo enters! He's soo sweet. Oh! And for the peeps
who wanted to know, Kagome and Inu-Yasha have been in this "Mirror"
dimension for about three weeks. The real Miroku, Sango and Shippo don't
miss them because...well, you'll see when I finish the fic.
P.S. Thank you Dragon Queen, but you do mean something and just to let you know, it needed to happen. But things do get better, so don't hate me too much! :-P
The Other Side of the Mirror
Chapter 16: A Night To Remember
Sesshoumaru looked into his wife's eyes. They were blank, unseeing, as if the windows to her soul had been closed, to protect it from more harm. "Kagome?" he whispered.
She didn't seem to notice. "I don't remember." She whispered. "I don't remember...I don't remember...Please don't hurt me any more. I don't remember."
Sesshoumaru turned his head to address the guards. "Find him. Don't let him escape. Bring him to me, *alive*."
The demons ran to follow their orders.
"Kagome," Sesshoumaru said a little louder. He placed his hands on her arms to pull her closer.
She screamed.
He pulled his hands away, they were coated with blood.
"I don't remember!" She screamed, the same look still in her eyes. "Please! I don't know! Stop please..." she broke into sobs, "I don't know."
Sesshoumaru tried to calm her down before he even tried to touch her again, "It's alright now. He's gone. You don't need to remember."
She threw herself into his arms, "I don't remember! Why did he keep hurting me?! I don't know!"
He just sat there and hugged her, trying to offer what little comfort he could give. All he did was let her cry, it was what she needed. He knew that he couldn't solve the pain that she was feeling. All he needed to do was let her cry.
"Milord," a guard entered the room.
Sesshoumaru looked into the demons eyes to let him know that he was listening.
The guard nodded and continued, "I'm sorry milord, Inu-Yasha escaped."
(Not good huh? He'll be back. Or will he? Is everyone with me when I say that this Inu-Yasha should be tortured and killed?)
***
Inu-Yasha (the good one :-P) sat in the corner of Kaede's hut, thinking. Kaede and Kagome had fallen asleep hours ago. It had been two weeks since Kagome had told him she was pregnant. He still couldn't believe how quickly her stomach had grown.
Kaede had explained (Hey! You guys have to know this part to understand, so Inu-Yasha didn't know either!) that for the first moth and a half to two months, a demon wouldn't grow inside it's mother. Instead, it would enhance the mother's strength and prepare her body for the pregnancy. Then in only three to four weeks, the demon child would grow fully, and be ready for birth.
Kagome's body didn't seem to have the extra strength. It looked as if she was in constant pain. Kaede had said that it was because of what had happened to her. She said that Kagome's body had used all of the extra strength to keep her alive and sane. She didn't have any left to deal with the child.
(Sad, ne?)
She was now lying close to the fire, crying in her sleep. Her arms were pressed against her stomach, trying to ease the pain. But that wasn't the reason she was hurting.
Inu-Yasha could feel it; the same senses that allowed him to sense other youkai picked it up. As much as youkai didn't want to admit that they had emotions, exactly the same as humans, it was there for any who could sense it. The child inside her could feel the fear and stress that it's mother was feeling, and was trying to cheer her up, the only way it knew how. It was channeling it's energy into her. If Kagome had been a demon, she would be feeling happy and refreshed; she wouldn't be in such terrible pain. The child was growing restless from all of the feelings that it was experiencing and was upping the dose to it's mother. It couldn't understand why it wasn't helping. (Poor thing! It's trying to make her feel better but is only making things worse!)
How could he help her? He remembered his mother saying something about this before. He smiled, his mother had said that he was always trying to make her feel better, even if it hurt, she told him, he had usually seceded, with his father's help. But how did his father ease the pain? And could Inu-Yasha do it, even though he wasn't the father?
The child was feeding off of the emotions Kagome was feeling...so if he could send some happier feelings to the child, Kagome wouldn't be in pain. He knew what to do.
He crept over to the sleeping mother, (Sounds weird to call Kagome that doesn't it?) her face was stained with tears. He kneeled next to her and placed his hand where the child was. It was warm, warmer then the rest of her body. He smiled, now all he needed to do was use his own energy to make it feel better. What could he think about? ...Oh! He knew! He thought about all the stuff from Kagome's time. They were really weird, many of them funny. And ramen...when this child was old enough, he would let it eat some of his.
He laughed, as quietly as possible. This thing wasn't even born and he was already making plans. Well, someone had to be it's father. Sesshoumaru wouldn't be around, that was for sure. Someone had to protect Kagome. The kid was going to be a hanyou! If he thought that the demons that wanted the shards were bad, what would the demons that would be after it be like? Simple demons wanted the shards; but stronger, smarter demons, who knew how to hate and control themselves, would be after her now.
Humans wouldn't accept a hanyou either. Men would hunt for her to try to set an example for anyone who wanted to love a demon.
He needed to be extra cautious.
Kagome was no longer crying. She now had a peaceful almost content look on her face.
"Thanks, mother..." Inu-Yasha said.
He walked back over to his corner to keep watch. He needed to be very careful from now on about whom she saw.
Kagome started to whimper again. He looked back at her. The kid was at it again?! That was a lot shorter then he would have thought. Kagome must be very frightened to have he feelings be overshadowed that quickly.
He walked back over to her. This time though, he picked her up and walked back over to his corner, her blanket in hand. He sat against the wall and leaned Kagome against him. He wrapped them both in the blanket and placed his hands on her stomach. Her whimpering calmed again and she snuggled into his body.
He smiled; he could take care of her forever. He could protect her. He wouldn't let anything happen to her, *ever* again.
A/N: AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Isn't that sweet?! I told you I was in a better mood! Someone had asked me to write another chapter with Inu-Yasha so I though, "Okay...I might as well." Next chapter...ENTER SHIPPO! Mike would be happy. Shippo is his favorite character. Well, review please! Next chapter will hopefully be up tomorrow, I have a minimum day because of CAT6 test we take. I hate standardized tests do you? Well, bowdees for real!
P.S. Thank you Dragon Queen, but you do mean something and just to let you know, it needed to happen. But things do get better, so don't hate me too much! :-P
