Night of the New Moon
After comforting Kagome for a half hour, Sango and Kagome joined the others around the fire near Sango and Miroku's hut. Yorokobi was asleep in her father's arms and Nozomi was asleep beside Shippo with Kirara curled up beside her sleeping. Kagome curled up in InuYasha's arms and they all watched the sun set with beautiful shades of deep reds, oranges, and yellows. As the sky grew darker so did InuYasha's hair. The night of the new moon was upon them.
A short while after the sun had set, Sango and Miroku "retired" for the night after putting their already sleeping children to bed. After they had gone to bed, Shippo and Kaede followed a short while after, leaving InuYasha and his pregnant Kagome alone.
"Would you like to go for a walk, Kagome? I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight," InuYasha asked.
"I would love to, InuYasha," Kagome replied.
InuYasha helped Kagome to her feet and they headed off toward the forest. They walked hand in hand through the forest, as they often did since they were married. They walked in silence for several minutes, enjoying the peaceful moonless night, the cool refreshing breeze, and most of all, each other. They soon passed the Bone-Eaters well and stood underneath the God Tree. InuYasha sat down underneath the tree, leaning against the tree's trunk, and drew Kagome to him to snuggle. After getting settled in their favorite, and comfortable, snuggle position; InuYasha was the first to break the silence.
"Kagome?"
"Hmm?" Kagome replied looking up into InuYasha's brown eyes.
"Uh...about earlier...?"
"Yes?"
"Well, I guess...uh...I'm sorry."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Apologizing."
"Feh! It was nothing."
"But it means a lot to me," Kagome replied snuggling further into InuYasha's warm chest. She could hear every breath he made, every heartbeat. It was soothing.
There was silence once more.
"You know, Kagome I've given some more thought into how many children I'd like to have."
"Really?
"Uh, huh."
"Me too."
"How many would you want to have?"
"Two...four at the most. What about you?"
"Two at the most."
Silence fell upon the couple once more. InuYasha starred up at the star- filled sky, then closed his eyes. He was in deep thought.
"InuYasha, is something wrong?"
"No, not at all. I was just thinking," InuYasha replied opening his eyes and looked down to look into Kagome's eyes. It was darker than usual, but they were both able to see each other nonetheless.
"About what?"
"About when I was growing up. I was practically all alone, except Mother. Father would come to see Mother and I once every few moon cycles, Sesshomaru would come, but refused to have anything to do with me. After Mother, and soon after Father died, I was left alone to fend for myself. No one had the heart or courage to take me in, let alone feed me. So, I was on my own. I don't want that for our child."
"Neither do I," Kagome whispered wiping a single tear from InuYasha's cheek.
Silence.
"May I?" InuYasha asked placing his hand over Kagome's stomach.
"Of course."
InuYasha placed his hand on her stomach. He felt the baby kick. InuYasha gasped.
"What is it, InuYasha?"
"It's just...I've never felt it kick that hard before."
"Oh, it's been doing that since this morning."
"Really?"
"Mmm, hmm," Kagome said gently stroking InuYasha's hand upon her stomach, "Must have her father's strength."
InuYasha smiled at her words before kissing her cheek.
They cuddled a little more by the God Tree and soon both had fallen asleep. A few hours later InuYasha had awoken to the baby's kicking inside Kagome's stomach, underneath his hand. I must have fallen asleep. I have never been able to fall asleep on moonless nights. Why was I able to tonight? Maybe it is the peace that Kagome and my unborn child have brought me tonight, which made me feel at ease and able to fall asleep?
I love to watch her sleep. InuYasha thought to himself as he stared at his sleeping Kagome. She has an angelic presence I've never seen before. I've noticed that in the past few days she's been sleeping more peacefully. I have no idea why?
InuYasha wiggles his way from underneath Kagome's sleeping form, picks her up, and takes her back to Kaede's hut. He quietly enters the hut, so not to wake anyone, and places her down on her sleeping bag. Before removing his hands from her body he noticed Kagome was slightly shaking.
Why is she shaking? She must be cold. With that thought, InuYasha wrapped her in her sleeping bag and curled up beside her. Soon after, drifted to sleep himself.
