Nine years ago:
It was dark outside. At least three am. Morning would be here and soon all the people of the small village would wake and go about their daily duties. Yet tonight, in one small hut there were people awake. Frantically dealing with a situation that life threw at them without warning. The birth of a child.
"Push, child push." Kaede instructed. She was crouched in-between Kagome's open legs, her hands steady and waiting. Sango sat next to Kagome, grasping the girl's hand and slightly wincing whenever she squeezed. Periodically she would wipe Kagome's forehead with a cloth and smile reassuringly. She was slightly worn out since they had been doing this for over five hours. Though she needed and wanted to be there for her friend.
"You're almost there." She would say.
Kagome laid there, hair damp and messy, face sweaty and eyes clenched with concentration. She was taking deep fast breaths and muttering under her breath.
"Never again," she said between breaths. "I'm going to sit him into," she breathed again "the next century." She finished.
"Push." Kaede said. Kagome arched her back, squeezed Sango's hand and screamed as she pushed with all her might. When she was too tired to continue she collapsed back down unto the futon and began her breathing again.
"I hate men." She said. Sango flashed her another smile.
"You'll hate them too, when your turn comes." Kagome said harshly. For Sango was pregnant of seven months with Miroku's child.
"Ye are nearly there." Keade said. "Now push!"
Kagome once again arched her back, squeezed Sango's hand and screamed with all her might. Such a scream that birds flew from trees and nearby animals scurried away.
Then there was silence. Until finally the sound of a small child crying, cut through the air. And it was over. Anomie had been born.
The next day:
"Any sign of him?" Kagome asked worried, as Miroku and Shippo entered the hut. "No." Miroku said sadly. " I've searched the forest and many villages over but he wasn't there."
"I couldn't pick up his scent, Kagome!" Shippo cried. "I'm really sorry."
Kagome nodded. "That's alright." She said, her voice disappointed. She held up her sleeping daughter and smiled at her tiny figure, wrapped warmly in a blanket.
Sango came out of Keade's hut angrily. "If you would just let me come along, then we could find Inuyasha!" she said. Miroku held her gently.
"No wife of mine will go riding around on a flying cat while pregnant with my child." He said firmly. Sango looked up at him with defiance in her eyes but as he leaned in for a slow kiss she soon smiled and kissed back. He hugged her and ran his finger through her hair.
Kagome watched with wanting eyes. She wanted to be held like that. To be loved like that. Yet the man she wanted this from was nowhere to be found. Kagome held her baby close to her heart and sighed. "Daddy will be home soon." She whispered.
Seven years later:
Kagome set down the rice on the small table. "Anomie, wash your hands for dinner!" she called.
Anomie ran into the house, hands, face, and clothes streaked with mud. She was giggling madly as she ran behind her mother and grasped her leg.
"Look mommy!" she cried. "A look-alike monster!"
Kagome smiled fondly but rolled her eyes. "Shippo stop playing. Come in and you can have some dinner too." She said knowingly. Even though he was sixteen now, he still had the heart of a child.
"No," Anomie said, giggling again. "Shippo went home early today! There's another one." She said.
"Oh?" Kagome said. Who was this new friend her daughter had made. "And what's the monster's name?" she asked.
Someone stepped into the hut. His long white hair trailing behind him. The beads around his neck rattled and the sword at his side made a small clink sound.
"Inuyasha." He said. A confidant smiles on his face.
Now, in the present: The past hurt Kagome. Leaving a scar that would never heal. Inuyasha had abandoned his child, only to return seven years later. Kagome, not even asking a single question took him back with open arms. She was just so happy to have a complete family again that she was totally blind about the real situation.
For two years after he had returned, he had been distant towards Kagome. And so one day when Anomie was with Sango and her son, Dereku, Inuyasha had told Kagome the truth.
His heart belonged to Kikyo. Yet because she was not of real human flesh, she could not conceive his child. So that one night of passion, that he had spent with Kagome was only for the sake of his true love and his soon-to-be- born child.
He had given Kagome seven years to love and raise her child but now that he eager to be with his daughter, he was ready to take her back and raise her with Kikyo.
So Kagome did the most sensible thing she could. She fled with her child. She knew that Inuyasha was way stronger than her and if he chose to take Anomie by force, then she would lose.
Yet here she was, searching the forest for her daughter with the man who wanted to take away her only child.
"MOMMY! HELP!" there was a sudden cry as Anomie slammed into her mother at full force, sending them both flying back.
Kagome was winded for a few seconds but her child's plea for help brought her around.
"What? What's wrong?"
Inuyasha stood in front of them, with Tetsuiga drawn towards the bushes where Anomie had came running.
"How sweet." Rang a cold voice as Sesshomaru walked into view. "A hanyou protecting his mate and offspring."
Inuyasha snorted. " You got the offspring part right. Though I couldn't care less about the bitch. She aint my mate."
That statement sent a jolt up Sesshomaru's spine again. Though he hid his emotion well, he could not hide the amount of pleasure that showed in his eyes. Yet he didn't totally believe it.
So, with his godly-like speed he moved behind Kagome and picked her up by her neck, making Anomie fall on the ground. Kagome froze, her only goal was to breathe and keep on breathing. He could easily snap her neck at this position.
He closely examined the nape of Kagome's neck yet could not find two small punctures on either side.
'She hasn't been marked.' He thought. 'But had his child. Why?'
Anomie screamed and ran behind her father. "Let mommy go!" she yelled.
"Yeah," agreed Inuyasha. "You wouldn't want her. She complains too much." He said.
Kagome scowled at him and begin to squirm. "Sit." She said.
Inuyasha only smiled and watched, as Kagome's eyes grew wide. He didn't crash into the ground and curse as he usually did, but instead stood there looking as confident as ever. Inuyasha grabbed the spell beads around his neck.
"It seems that you're incarnation is linked to you in more ways than you know." He said. He snapped it off his neck and the beads all clattered to the ground. "She broke the spell. What a woman."
Anomie began hitting her father's leg. " Get mommy back!" she yelled. Her eyes brimming with tears. Inuyasha crouched down to his daughter and smiled affectionately.
"Mommy is fine." He lied. " So how about me and you go for a little trip? It'll be fun." He said. Anomie looked at her father then to her mother.
"Anomie ru-" Kagome was cut off by Sesshomaru who dramatically increased his grip on her neck.
"I've had enough." He said. " I still have plenty I must know and the wench is coming with me. If I ever detect you or the runt's presence on my land again, I will kill you." And with that he was speeding off towards his home again, still holding Kagome's neck with an iron grip.
"Don't worry, Kagome!" Inuyasha called to her as he picked up Anomie. "I'll take good care of my little girl!" Anomie began crying and reaching out for her mother who was getting farther away each second.
"Wait mommy!" she cried. Inuyasha held her back and tried to comfort her.
The last Kagome saw were the tears falling from her daughter's eyes. She reached out to reach her and hold her. Ignoring the pain in her neck and the tears blurring her own vision.
"Anomie." She choked out, before it was too much. She couldn't speak, she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't see as suddenly her world went dark.
