A/N: Chapter 7. After a long time of not updating I have decided to write
another chapter. I can not summarize this chapter because I have no clue
what it is going to be like. But anyhow I hope you READ, ENJOY, and most of
all REVIEW the next chapter in what I call The Final Showdown.
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or Rurouni Kenshin.
The Final Showdown: Chapter 7
The next morning starts first with InuYasha waking up grumbling in the pain that Kagome gave to him the night before (not the sexual pain, you hentai, the physical pain from the SIT command from the night before). He finds food for breakfast and makes a fire, at the smell of the food Kagome wakes up and wonders why InuYasha is up so early. She is not really perturbed but she is perturbed enough to wonder why InuYasha is cooking (for all she knows all he knows how to eat are the noodle things she brings from the future).
"InuYasha, how long have you been up for?"
"Why would you care? You were the one who was rude to me last night. I was just..."
Kagome cuts him off in mid sentence and starts to yell, "BEING A MAN! That is a pretty lame excuse InuYasha, would you like to come up with one better or just have me laugh at you."
"See that is what I mean Kagome. How am I supposed to be nice when that is shot back at me all the time? I mean those insults are worse than flaming arrows... but I can dodge those. That was not a really good example was it... D'OH!"
"No InuYasha, it was not a good example at all. And, I am sorry if what I said hurt you (she really isn't but who cares, just as long as InuYasha doesn't know). So what's for breakfast, InuYasha?"
"Well, my dear, I would like you to be nicer. And apologize like you sincerely mean it because if you don't the apology is worthless." Then Kagome thinks, 'Shit, he figured me out' He continues, "Rabbit and wolf are for breakfast; they were easy to catch." He thinks about his cooking for a few seconds and then says, "Why did you ask?"
While InuYasha is talking Kagome thinks about something, 'We haven't seen Koga in awhile; I wonder how he is doing.' "Umm... I just wanted to know InuYasha. I mean a girl needs to know what she eats. SIGH. InuYasha, it has been awhile, hasn't it?"
"Been awhile since what, my dear Kagome? Since we meet, or since we finished our quest with Miroku, and Sango. Or, since no particular instance; just been awhile."
"Since everything strange in my life happened; going down the well, meeting you, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo, and since we defeated Naraku. It's just been awhile. SIGH." InuYasha thinks to himself while she is talking, 'I wonder which of us is more important to her. It can't be anyone other than me; can it?'
He then gathers up all the courage left in his strong body, or at least all the courage he has to say anything to Kagome with, and asks, "Kagome, who out of all the people on our journey was the most important to you?" Then he thinks, 'What a stupid question to ask InuYasha; you should know the answer to this by now, or are you just that dense? NO I AM NOT!'
She thinks, and somewhat says out loud, but strangely not in a recognizable tone that InuYasha understands, "InuYasha that was a stupid question to ask, just think who am I with right now, you, Miroku and Sango (for all purposes they are married, why not it's a fanfic after all), or Shippo. Sometimes you can be so dumb. SIGH. Well, the only thing that keeps me from leaving or killing him is that I love him... well and the fact that he is stronger than me... that too. Well, all I know is that I LOVE HIM."
"Well," InuYasha asks, of course while he is looking upon her full, flowing breasts, "Are you going to dignify me with an answer or just stare blankly into my eyes. Also, breakfast is ready."
She waits a couple of seconds before she answers, knowing that if she answers too soon she will explode with a moderate rage and get madder at InuYasha, and she says this staring into his eyes very sympathetically and lovingly, "InuYasha, you know I love you. So why did you even ask that question? Well, just for you, to answer the question; InuYasha you are the most important person in the world to me, and I want to live and die by your side. Okay let's eat." While she was talking, InuYasha was thinking to himself, 'Well at least it was me, even though I knew the answer to that. YUM. I am very ready to eat this meal that I cooked for me and my mate.' He adds on top of that, 'And, I mean, after a night like THAT, how could I be mad at her?'
Meanwhile...
"Kenshin... Kenshin," Kaoru just woke up and she is trying to get Kenshin to wake up as well, "Kenshin, my love, wake up to me, or do you not remember what went on last night?" She rummages around a little while before going back to their camp to see if Kenshin is awake. She looks for fruits and berries to eat, nothing that is meat, because she does not want to kill an animal, unless that animal threatens her life. After she walks back to camp, Kenshin is still not awake; she tries again to wake him up, "Kenshin... Kenshin..." she tries to get him up by continuing to talk louder and louder, but then she realizes that after he fought with Battousai in his mind that he must be tirelessly exhausted, though he did stay up and talk to her after that...
FLASHBACK... TO THE NIGHT BEFORE... "Kenshin, what happened just now, why couldn't you control Battousai from taking over you, and why did you run away? You should know I am more than happy to take care of you Kenshin. That's what I said when I took the vow, in sickness and in health, remember?"
"Sorry Miss Kaoru, I did not mean to frighten you like that, that I did not. I know what our vows said, and I just did not want to harm you Miss Kaoru; I never have and I never will, and I just wanted to fight it myself, but this time I was just not strong enough, but thankfully I was in there enough not to get you hurt. For that I am glad, that I am."
"Oh Kenshin," she says and starts to cry, "I know you never want to hurt me, just as much as I never want to leave your side, no matter what happens or what shape you are in." She speaks again, barely audible, and says, "And also, Kenshin, never forget that I love you." After this she goes to sleep crying, Kenshin goes over to her and she falls asleep in his arms.
END OF FLASHBACK...
When she walks back to the camp Kenshin has just woken up, he yawns and asks, "What have you been doing Miss Kaoru? Have you been up long?" He thinks, 'She was really crying when she went to sleep last night; I hope that she is not too upset; I never want my Kaoru to be upset (notice here, that though he is not speaking, he said "my Kaoru" instead of Miss Kaoru, just wanted to point that out).' "Were you out in the forest searching for food," he asks, "If you were what did you find?"
'Oh Kenshin, back to usual, how I love him, now if only we could get arid of the whole Battousai thing we would be good for life. And, he doesn't know this but...' she thinks and then accidentally starts to speak out loud, but luckily not loud enough for Kenshin to hear it, "I'm pregnant." "Oh Kenshin, I found berries, fruit, and nuts, sorry no meat; I didn't feel like killing anything this morning. No, I have not been up more than thirty minutes, sigh/ yawn. And, don't ask me anymore questions." She has started growing irritable through the pregnancy, though Kenshin has not noticed, because fighting is his forte. "I am sorry Kenshin, I did not mean to snap at you like that, that I did not (sometimes she talks just as Kenshin does, because she thinks it is funny)." She sits down next to Kenshin and rests her head on his shoulder, he lets her head slide down onto his lap. She starts to get into a small slumber and then realizes she does not want to go to sleep so she reawakens and starts to feed Kenshin the food she foraged for.
But, she is feeding him too fast and then he says half- dazed, "Miss Kaoru what are you doing?" She does not stop the feeding frenzy after awhile even Kenshin can put up with it, so he falls down, and he has those crazy, swirly eyes (YES, I HAVE USED THE FAMOUS LINE AGAIN!). He thinks unto himself, 'I wonder what is so strange, why is Kaoru acting like this; she usually acts more normal than she is today.' "My Kaoru, what ever is the matter? If you do not want to tell me that is fine, but I just want to help you as you want to help me as well." Kenshin then hugs her with the intention of finding out the secret, though that is not the way that Kaoru wishes to tell Kenshin the good, yet bad news. He then lays her head back down on his shoulder, and lays down onto the ground with Kaoru following him down because of the position of her head on Kenshin's shoulder. They take another nap not realizing what time it is, when they wake up they are both well rested and are overjoyed at the presence on one another; Kaoru does not tell Kenshin about the baby.
Afterwards on the other side of the forest...
InuYasha and Kagome find a river and decide that they need to wash up, InuYasha reeks of the Devil after that fierce day of fighting Kenshin and Kagome. InuYasha's mind and body are wreaked, one from the fighting of Kenshin, the other from the torture of Kagome. They both take off all of their clothing and jump into the river; its freezing cold in the river and InuYasha and Kagome huddle close, hoping that the heat that the other radiated would keep them both warm. They wash each other and then they sit on the soft green grass and fall asleep together. They wake up together and look into each other's eyes just long enough to know that they are safe. They then, InuYasha unwillingly, put back on their clothes and started to head back to the field, though they figured at least now that there would be minimal fighting between InuYasha and Kenshin.
Kenshin and Kaoru are walking nearer and nearer to the field as well, but Kenshin has a bad feeling like the enemies are waiting for them there at the field, but he does not tell Kaoru, just to make sure she is not frightened. InuYasha while he is jumping from tree to tree with Kagome carefully and skillfully placed in his arms, senses with his nose two scents one that he is familiar with and one he has never smelled before.
InuYasha and Kenshin meet in the middle of the field and say greeting; they both can tell that the other has something on his mind, but are both to courteous to ask the other (which I am amazed InuYasha was able to restrain himself). They start to fight and then...

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter... If you are reading this story... Sorry if it got strange in there... R&R, and read further chapters... Someday I can get to 50 reviews.
