Chapter 5
"Hello Sango, come in please." Kagome said. Sango walked into the large house.
"Say hello Akira." Sango told the baby. She held the baby's arm up, making him wave at Kagome. "Oh Kagome, he's such a handful, he's starting to crawl. With Miroku gone most of the day, and me having to cook, clean and watch Akira, it's hard." Sango said with a sigh. Kagome took Akira with a smile.
"Come with me Sango, we'll find someone to watch him while we have tea, is that alright with you?"
"That would be great Kagome, thank you." "It's no problem." Kagome called for the house nurse. "Take Akira, Sango and I will be having tea if you need us." Kagome kissed the baby on the head and handed him to the nurse. The nurse nodded. Kagome led Sango into the tearoom. "I have something to tell you Sango."
"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked. Kagome's eyes looked far off and glazed over as she spoke. "Kouga.he asked me to marry him, he gave me this to show he was serious." She showed Sango the Shikon fragment. "I don't love him Sango. What do I do? I don't want to hurt him."
"Oh Kagome, don't marry him. Do you really want to?"
"I want.Sango, I love Inuyasha. I only just realized this when Kouga proposed. I've waited for him to come take me, but he hasn't. I miss him Sango."
"Kagome, you need to tell Kouga your feelings. Inuyasha as well. " Kagome sighed. She shook her head and looked Sango in the eye.
"Enough of this sad talk Sango, I heard you may be pregnant again?" she said with a wicked smile.
"Oh no, thankfully. I can barely handle Akira. Miroku as well, he acts like a child." The girls laughed the whole afternoon and remembered on old times.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Hello Miroku, Sango. Hi Akira." Inuyasha was at their home. It had been a long time since he last saw them. Miroku pulled Inuyasha inside so they could talk. "Where's Kagome, still with Kouga?"
"We need to tell you something Inuyasha." Inuyasha was silent. "The well is sealed." Inuyasha's eyes went wide with panic.
"It's sealed! What about Kagome, can she come back, please say she can come back? Can I get her?" Inuyasha panicked.
"Calm down Inuyasha! Kagome is safely with Kouga. The well has been sealed since the night you arrived last summer. Kagome couldn't tell you because she knew you'd stay with her if she couldn't go back, and she knew you needed to look for Kikyo. The well was going to be sealed for a year. It will open in two days."
"I.didn't realize something was wrong." Inuyasha thought back to the night he went for her. She was writing on parchment paper. Now he remembered what it said. 'Dear Souta,' it said.
"Inuyasha, the year is nearly over. Kouga and Kagome were supposed to get married. Kagome kept postponing the date, in hopes that you would come for her again." Sango said in a motherly voice. "Tomorrow they will be married. Kagome.she doesn't love Kouga. She.she loves you Inuyasha."
"She loves me? Did she tell you that?" he said excitedly. Sango nodded. Inuyasha started to dance around the room. "I love her too, I love her too!" Sango held his shoulders.
"Calm down Inuyasha. After the ceremony.well it's custom in his tribe that following the ceremony and before the reception.the bride and groom.consummate their marriage." Inuyasha gave Sango a funny look. "Inuyasha, if Kouga finds out what you and Kagome did, he'll kill the both of you. You see, when marrying a wolf youkai, you are promising yourself to him, you also promise you've never been touched. Kouga would go insane with rage and likely kill Kagome for lying, and you for being the one she.did the deed with." Inuyasha's heart sank. "It would be wise to stay here tonight. We'll go to her home before the ceremony, to help her get ready. Tonight we'll plan her escape." *************************************************
