upsetting.~
End of Days

**********
Someone must have hit the fast forward button or something on the world... Time seemed to just fly by so fast. Before I knew it, I was being summoned to Kaede's village...
**********
I love the den. Really. I don't have to do anything except what I normally do. Lounge around and be lazy. Inuyasha's current state: Sleepy.
Of course, I forgot to mention that every time I get comfortable, someone has to disturb my rest. It's typical. Happens every day.
Of course, the birth of my son doesn't.
My peaceful moment was destroyed by the roar of a fire cat, the scream of "Hentai!" and the crash of a certain 'monk' hitting the ground. I couldn't suppress a grin. I hopped off the ledge I had been curled up on and slipped outside of the den. There were the wolves, all greeting Miroku and Sango. My grin widened. Sango's abdomen was swelling. She looked to be about four months along in her pregnancy.
I strolled up to my friends casually. Sango saw me first. She put her hand to her mouth and tears filled her eyes. I was startled. Was there something wrong with me...? I decided there wasn't really anything wrong, when Sango flung herself at me in a bone-crushing hug. "I haven't seen you in almost a year now, Inuyasha! How dare you not visit!" I laughed and returned the hug. "Sorry, Sango-chan. I was... a little too busy."
Miroku approached next, clapping me on the shoulder. I turned my head to look at him (my head being the only thing I could move since Sango still had me in a death grip) and smiled. "Congratulations. On the baby." Miroku grinned with pleasure and pride. "Domo arigatou, Inuyasha. Unfortunately, this isn't a reuinion." I blinked.
"Kagome is in labor as we speak."
Several minutes later found me sitting anxiously on Kirara. 'Let us get there in time...' The gods heard my plea again. Of course, I knew they would later plot some dangerous and annoying thing to happen to me, but I didn't care. As soon as Kirara touched ground, I was already off and running to Kaede's hut.
I burst through the door, stumbled, and barely caught my balance. Kaede looked at me in surprise, then smiled kindly. "It's nearly time, Inuyasha." As if to prove the old hag's point, I heard Kagome scream in agony from another, smaller room. "Can I go in there?" Kaede looked at me for a moment. "I would advise against it. She may hurt you." I raised my eyebrows. "I'll...wait. Right here." I sat down heavily. Kaede went to care for Kagome.
It wasn't five minutes and I was pacing.
'What if something happens to baby?'
'What if he comes backwards?'
'What if he is actually a she and my senses have gone weird?'
'What if, what if, what if, what if...'
"Argh!" I pulled on my hair angrily. "I'm going insane!" A calm voice permeated my one-sided conversation. "I thought you already were insane." I glared at Miroku. "Fuck off, bouzo. I have no time for you. My sanity is fleeing and I must catch it." He chuckled then pointed and gasped in mock amazement. "Look! There goes some of it!" I growled and swiped at his head. He merely sidestepped. "Calm down, Inuyasha. It's going to be a while."
Three hours later--- Agonizing hours--- a plaintive scream of a newborn pup reached my ears. I leapt to my feet and stood near the door of the birthing room, waiting for permission to come in. "Inuyasha..." Kagome's voice. I smiled excitedly and carefully opened the door. Kagome smiled up at me, lying on and covered in clean blankets. Kaede was off to the said bathing something...someone...my son.
I knelt near Kagome. She was covered in sweat and looked exhausted. I brushed her hair out of my face, then pulled my hand away. 'We aren't in love anymore. We aren't mates... I can't get attached to her again. It'll only hurt.'
Kagome smiled somewhat sadly and was about to speak when Kaede came over, holding a small bundle swathed in a blanket. I slowly stood. Kaede smiled and held the pup out to me. I carefully, almost fearfully, took him in my arms and slid the blanket away from his face.
The most beautiful brown eyes stared up at me, owlish in the sudden bright light.
I sucked in a sharp breath. This was my son. My son. "He's...gorgeous..." A soft fuzz of white hair covered the top of the pup's head... but it didn't hide the most obvious trait he inherited from me.
Two, small, folded, white-furred dog ears were there, plain as the eye could see.
I laughed quietly and stroked the pup's face.
"I love him...My little Shirohingetsu."
~Weeelll....? Whatcha think? Lemme know! Should Inu take this little pup right now... or later? Yes, he did pick a name before the pup was born. It means "White Half Moon." R&R!
