Kelcie thought absently as she lay on the hard kitchen floor,
snuggling with Inuyasha. His silver hair was so soft to her touch, and she
loved his ears as much as he loved what she did to them. But his eyes... She
wondered if hers were as powerful and deep. That lovely golden color of the
iris... She hadn't seen that particular pigment in her entire career. She had
to admit, in her haste she didn't completely study Inuyasha's genome. She
thought about her youki and how this could be explained scientifically.
There must be a way, because of her weapon. Then she thought back to last
night... She gasped.
"Er... Inuyasha, I have to check something out. I'll be right back."
"I, um, have to check something out too."
"Don't leave the house, it could be dangerous."
"Keh. I don't need to. And I'm not going to leave naked."
Kelcie smiled, remembering what she had done to his clothes. She walked over to her study and pulled out the medical testing kit she had gotten from the black market. She brought the suitcase-sized analyzer to the bathroom and plugged in a medical probe. The smeared lube on it and placed the sensor, then she programmed the analyzer with measured calm. A few minutes later she emerged from the bathroom to find Inuyasha on her balcony staring up at the sky.
"Inuyasha, I have to tell you something..."
"Er... I have to tell you something too." He said in a meek tone.
"What?" She was surprised at his voice.
"Well, today, I'm supposed to be different... I'm supposed to be human."
"Why is that?"
"I'm a hanyou, it happens to all hanyous. But today, I'm not human. And I don't understand why."
"That's interesting... But now I have to tell you something very important."
"What's that?" He said absently, still staring and the sky.
"Inuyasha..." She reached out and pulled his head by the chin to face hers.
"What?" He said impatiently.
"I'm pregnant."
He stammered. "You're... what? How?"
"Inuyasha, I'm pregnant, with your child. We mated last night, and now I'm pregnant. I analyzed your semen, and for some reason you are exceptionally fertile—"
"I don't understand. How could you know that you're pregnant? It was just last night."
"The technology of my time is much advanced. I also learned that I'm going to give birth in just a few months, judging by how fast the cells are multiplying."
He stared at her. Then he did something completely unexpected. He hugged her.
"We're... We are mates now." He said softly.
She went back to the bathroom and ran more tests under the watchful eye of her lover as he leaned on the tiled wall and she sat on her toilet. She kept trying to calm herself down, but she was too excited. She was going to have his baby! She thought back to Punnett squares and wondered if her baby would be a hanyou, a youkai, or human. Then she thought back to what he had said, about him becoming a full youkai when they had made love. Even her medical instrument couldn't tell her what her baby would be.
"What are you worried about?" Inuyasha asked in a solemn voice, as if he hadn't quite come to grips with the whole situation himself.
"I was thinking about whether our baby would be a hanyou... or..."
"A human?"
"Or youkai. If its anything like genetics, there's a twenty-five percent probability for either, and fifty for a hanyou, but that's only if—"
"What are you talking about? What's genetics?"
"It is what I dedicated my life to before I met you, Inuyasha. It's the study of heredity, about the traits that makes people different. I'm a scientist.
"A scientist? Is that like a miko?"
"A what?" She asked.
"A miko is sorceress... She studies magic."
"Maybe. I'd have to meet one."
"That's right... I have to get back to my time. Kagome... I have to tell her."
"Were you close to her?"
"I... I don't know. We might have been."
She smiled inwardly. He had chosen herself over Kagome. "Yes," she said. "We should tell her." He grabbed his weapon and she grabbed hers.
"Er... I remember now..." He stared at the weapon, then at her.
"Remember what?"
"Yesterday... You shot me with your weapon... of invisible fire. Why did you do that?"
"I did that because you weren't going to give me what I wanted if I tried the regular way." She smiled. "Anyway, I knew you'd survive it. Youkai are amazing."
He blushed. "I'm a hanyou."
"But when you get down to the cellular... the littlest parts of you, youkai and hanyou are both just as powerful. Your power isn't diluted." Inuyasha just looked down, still blushing.
"Lets go," he said.
"Well, as you said, you can't go naked."
"I have an idea." He said. "My firerat clothes are tied to my youki. If we put our energy into it, they could be mended."
"Perhaps. Or I could get you some at the store."
"No, I must have my firerat fur. My father..."
"I understand. Let's try."
She gathered up the red shreds and placed them in a pile on her coffee table. By coincidence, the table was inlaid with a pentagram design. She had liked to draw that sign when she was a child and it reminded her of good memories. Inuyasha just stared.
"You are a miko, aren't you? Here, try this. Put your hands together and pray."
"Pray? I'm not religious, I don't know how."
"Just try, put your energy into it."
Kelcie did as he said, closed her eyes and focused her youki into the cloth. He stood over her, fascinated by what he was seeing. A purifying light washed over the room, radiating from her hands. She opened her hands and poured pure energy into the clothing. The shreds began to grow and attach to each other, the haori slowly drifting into the air as her power spontaneously transformed the tatters into its original shape.
"Amazing!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "I knew it! I could feel your miko power just like Kagome's!"
"This girl, Kagome, is a priestess?"
"Yes, she's very powerful."
"And what I just did was influenced by priestess powers?"
"There's no doubt. You are a miko."
"You must have an affinity for mikos, then?" She grinned. He blushed. She enjoyed teasing her hanyou. He began to put his pants on as she put on her blue and yellow jumpsuit. "I'm a little sorry I mended your clothes, I really like you naked." He wasn't going to act coy this time. "I don't exactly like you hiding your sumptuous breasts either." "Inuyasha! You can have them anywhere you want." She stepped up to him and pressed herself against him. What could the teenage hanyou do but turn red in the presence of this forward woman of his?
"Er... Inuyasha, I have to check something out. I'll be right back."
"I, um, have to check something out too."
"Don't leave the house, it could be dangerous."
"Keh. I don't need to. And I'm not going to leave naked."
