Ok ok, i'm exiected too! What willl happen in this chapter? I'm not too sure myself, we'll have to see....

Chapter 13--Pain--

Kagome pressed her hand onto Inuyasha's chest. "Inuyasha..." she mumbled. He growled in response.

"Get out Kagome, I don't want you to see this. But I will keep them alive for you." Kagome nodded and went down stairs to the kitchen. She grabbed the phone. Kagome took in a deep breath and dialed the number to the police station. She heard a man on the othe end. "Hello...I'm at the Higurshi Shrine, and my boyfriend just raped me and is threatening to kill me and my brother. Please hurry." She knew it was yet another lie on the list, but she had a very good reason.

"Don't worry miss, we're on our way." The man said. Kagome hung up and ran upstairs. She opened the door slowly, praying everything was alright. Kazuki lay on the floor unconcious. Inuyasha had Hojo by the neck and was smashing his head into the wall.

"Inuyasha?" She said quietly, approaching him in timid steps. He turned to face her, chest heaving and eyes.......amber. She released a breath and ran to his side, clutching onto him. Inuyasha looked past Kagome, to the puddle of her blood on the bed. He started growling. She held his arm and looked into his eyes. "It'll be ok." She said, a faint smile crossing her face.

The sound of an ambulance and police car reached Inuyasha's ears. He held her gently in a warm embrace. "We have to go now Kagome, are you ready?" He looked down into her eyes.

"Yes, I'm ready as I'll ever be." She took his hand and led him downstairs. They crossed the yard quietly, making sure no one would se them. Dusk was falling, and soon they'd be home. Where Hojo could never find them. This plan had taken a lot out of our heros, and they would still need a sash of hope to carry it out...

They stepped into the well house as the police made their way across the yard to the house. This was it, the last time Kagome would see her home. Souta was sitting on the lip of the well, at full attention. His eyes were wide and worried. His hair was tousled and anyone could tell he was tired.

Kagome smiled at her little brother. "Come on Souta, we're going home."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They sat against the well, chest heaving and feeling sick. Souta didn't go through the first three times, so they had to keep trying to get him to go. The police had taken Kazuki and Hojo to the hospital, their injuries were like none the police had ever seen. While two officers were nearing the well house, Inuyasha and Kagome panicked. It turned out, they both had to hold onto Souta.

So there they sat, utterly exhausted. Inuyasha had Kagome in his lap, who in turn had Souta in hers. They were watching the sky change from a vivid orange red, to a relaxed blue purple. Inuyasha sqeeuzed Kagome's shoulders, nuzzling her neck all the while.

Things couldn't be anymore perfect. Inuyasha had his mate safe at last. No more Hojo or stupid Kazuki. Now she was safe where she belonged, with him.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked quietly.

"Yeah Kagome?" He smiled against her hair.

"Thank you. For saving me. You've done it so many times before but, this was something out of the usual and I want you to know that I'm forever in debt for what you did today. Not only did you save me, but Souta too. I can't put into words how grateful I am."

Inuyasha smiled. He loved the woman in his arms so much, he knew nothing would ever tear them apart. And now, they would, in fact, live happily ever after. 'Of course, it's impossible not to fight with me.' He thought, and chuckled. He looked into Kagome's lap, where Souta stirred. His ears twitched. Something.......was happening in the village.

Sango screamed.

Souta's eyes widened as Kagome stood up with him in her arms. She climbed onto Inuyasha's back and they headed off to the village.

What was going on? The village itself was fairly preaceful. Even the villagers went about their business as if nothing was going on. Inuyasha bounded off to Keade's hut. Sango's yell was heard once more.

Inuyasha and Kagome sighed in relief. Nothing was wrong, Sango was just in labor. Wait a minute......she was having the baby!!! Kagome set Souta down and ran over to her friend's side.

"Are you okay? Breathe Sango, breathe! Where the hell is your husband? Where are the girls?" She looked at Inuyasha. "Send Miroku over here and watch the girls for him. He needs to be here."

"I don't think that would be a good idea Kagome." Inuyasha said. She looked at him puzzled. He pointed to Sango, who was sitting up and growling like a tiger.

"I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill him, tell him to get his ass over here so I can spill his blood for doing this to me!!!" Sango screamed. Inuyasha's ears went flat against his head, even Souta covered his ears. 'What's with this crazy lady?' Souta thought.

"Go Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. The two males in the hut switched nervous glances, they didn't know who to be more scared of, the lady in labor or the crazy chick. Inuyasha took off to get the soon-to-be dead man.

Keade walked to Kagome's side. When the hell had she gotten there? Keade put a warm hand on Kagome's shoulder, offering some herbs.

"Boil this in some water and have her drink it. It'll ease her pain."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why was mommy screaming Daddy Hentai? Is she hurt, will she be okay?" Asked Hana. Her mommy had started moaning at first, then she saw water on the floor. The moans got louder and her mommy kneeled over, telling her to get Granny Keade and Daddy. So she ran to where her daddy was giving Haru a bath and told him Mommy was crying and she must have had an accident, because there was water all over the floor.

Her daddy's eyes widened and she ran to Granny Keade and told her that Mommy wanted her. She went back to her home, where Daddy was helping Mommy stand up, to take her to Granny's. And before she knew it, Daddy had taken them back home and left Mommy crying and Granny's house.

She tugged on her Daddy's robes again. He looked down at her and smiled. "Mommy will be okay. Remember last time something like this happend? You're going to be a big sister Hana, you're going to have another sister or brother. Mommy was crying because the baby was just kicking her hard."

"Well the baby is mean to Mommy then." She pouted. Her eyes widened and she tugged her Dad again. "Uncle Inu is coming Daddy." She ran to Inuyasha, who in turn picked her up and spun her in circles. She giggled continuously. Inuyasha set her down as he walked over to Miroku.

"She wants you there Miroku. Kagome sent me to get you, go to her and I'll watch the girls." He looked to his friend and nodded. "How does that sound to you Hana? Wanna come with Uncle Inu? We'll go fishing." He knew she loved the water, fishing especially. She jumped up and down.

"Can I Daddy? Please???" She begged. Miroku smiled and nodded, handing Inuyasha a sleeping Haru.

"Just behave yourself alright? Try not to get too dirty, your mother would never forgive me."

"Yes Daddy, thank you!" Miroku looked to the hanyou.

"Thanks." The monk said.

"Eh, it's nothing. Congradulations buddy." An awkward silence followed. But what the hell? They hugged each other.

Inuyasha took Hana's hand and set course for the fishing river.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sango dear, must you use such force with me? You know I love you with all my being!" Miroku pleaded.

"I am going to kill you houshi. Just wait till I can stand, then you're in big troub- ahhh! I'm going to kill you so much, you'll still bleed in your grave!" Sango squeezed his hand. Forget all those wounds Naraku had given her, this hurt much more. It felt like......she either had to heed nature's call, or being split in half from between the legs. Either way, she was in pain and Miroku had done this to her, so he was gonna pay!

She held her breath as she pushed. Kagome was rubbing her belly, pressing cool cloths to her head. The tea she made earlier had helped, but Sango still cried. Every now and then Kagome would turn to her and tell her, "You're doing great honey, just keep it up. You're doing beautiful." It felt like eternity had passed right when Keade spoke.

"I see the head. Two more pushes Sango, make them good ones." She paused. "And......Push, 2, 3, 4. Okay, now for the shoulders sweetie, give me one big push and.....push, 2, 3, 4." A cry was hear throughout the village. Sango smiled at the baby's cry. Miroku pressed his forehead to hers, and they cried as Keade cleaned the child. Kagome wrapped it in a small blanket she brought from home. She handed the child to it's mother and father.

She looked at the two lovers. Her family. They looked up as she placed the baby in Sango's arms. "You have a son."

Kagome and Keade walked quietly out of the hut, smiles on their faces. Keade went towards the inner part of the village. Kagome went to the river, to rest her feet in the water. Night had already set itself in. She looked up towards the moon, stopping halfway to find Inuyasha, two little girls sleeping in his lap.

"Hi." She said. He looked up and gazed at her.

"Hey. She have it?"

"Yeah, it was a boy. I think we'd better get those two to their parents. Come on." She took Hana from Inuaysha and helped him up. They took the girls to the small hut where their parents waited for them with a new addition to the family. Souta was in the small room in the hut, he didn't want to see a woman in labor, yuck. Inuyasha picked up Souta and they went to Miroku and Sango's home for bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miroku stepped inside his home. Last night really sucked the energy out of him. He had gone home to get Sango some clothes, her kimono was fairly dirty. He smiled inwardly at what he came across.

Inuyasha was laying on his back, staring at the ceiling. Kagome had her arm warpped around his chest, burying her face in his side. Souta had his hands under his chin, on the hanyou's belly. Inuyasha's arms were wrapped around the young gril and her little brother in a protective manner. Even though it didn't quite fit together, they were a family.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha who smiled back at him.

"I'm home." Inuyasha said.

So? how was it? not too bad i hope? oh, gods, i need mircrosoft word, this other program does nothing for errors, tell me if you find some! well, see ya!
