Chapter 25
Crap, I can't believe that this story has made it all the way to chapter 25! When I started it, I didn't think I would be able to write more than 10-12 chapters. Honestly, though, I think that this story has hit it's plateau. There isn't a whole lot more I can do with this thing that I haven't already done! Can I get up to 30 chapters? I doubt it. I'll try to write a least a couple more, though, and then I'll move on to the next story idea. Here's # 25! Tonyf
"I have to make this dinner perfect. I don't want any of the food I'm making to be burnt!" Kagome thought to herself as she paced through the kitchen. (It's been a few weeks since Inuyasha and Kagome's meeting with Miroku and Sango in the last chapter. Kagome sent Inuyasha over to Sango and Miroku's place for awhile so she could surprise him with this dinner. Tonyf ) She ran back and forth stirring, pouring, and flipping things. Everything (at the moment) actually looked and smelled good! Kagome noticed that the roast she was making looked a little strange, though, and she spent a good amount of time trying to make it look right. By the time it looked normal to her, she looked around and everything else she was making was burnt. "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" She yelled in frustration. "I can never make a good meal!" Kagome grumbled. "Well, thank god for fast food."
Kagome fetched Inuyasha (ironic choice of words) from Sango and Miroku's house, and they finally sat down at the table to eat dinner. "This all looks great, Kagome! What do you call this?" Inuyasha asked her. "Uh, I call that a 'big mac'." She replied slowly. "Well, this 'big mac' is great! You need to teach me how to make this sometime! These salty yellow sticks are good too!" Inuyasha said. "Yeah, maybe." She said quietly, her embarassment confusing Inuyasha. After awhile, Inuyasha had eaten his fill of the 'homemade' food, and Kagome was ready to talk to him. "Inuyasha?" she said. "What is it, Kagome?" He asked. "I have something that I wanted to tell you tonight." She replied. He sat there quietly, waiting for her to say more. "I wanted to tell you that.... I'm pregnant!" Kagome said happily. "You're.... pregnant? We're having a baby? That's great!" Inuyasha yelled, jumping up from the table and hugging her tightly.
"You're pregnant too? I can't believe it! We're both going to be mothers!" Sango squealed after Kagome told her the news. "Yeah, and we're both going to be fathers." Inuyasha said to Miroku. "Yes, we sure are." Miroku said with a grin. "How should we celebrate this?" Kagome asked. "Scrabble!!" Miroku yelled (with a little TOO much enthusiasm). "Okay, scrabble it is." Sango said quietly. So, the game began. Inuyasha and Kagome were partners, as were Sango and Miroku. "Inuyasha, 'jugzxtr' isn't a word!" Sango yelled. "Sure it is! Are you gonna challenge it?" Inuyasha sneered. "Yes, as a matter of fact, I am!" Sango replied. Miroku laughed as this was going on, and Kagome rolled her eyes. "See? No 'jugzxtr' in there! You lose your turn!" Sango gloated. "Yeah, whatever. It's not my fault that my words are so advanced that the 'dictionary' doesn't know some of them!" Inuyasha growled. Everyone had to laugh at that one.
It's now 3 hours later, and Inuyasha and Kagome are back home. "We won! They'll never live down this defeat." Inuyasha laughed. "It was just a game, Inuyasha. No one will remember what happened past tomorrow, even." Kagome said with a sigh. "I'll remember it forever!" He yelled, sounding like he was trying to convince himself as much as Kagome. "Okay, Inuyasha." She responded, wanting to change the subject. "How's our baby doing in there?" Inuyasha said, his tone and face both softening. He put his ear up to her stomach, tickling her with his hair. "It's doing fine. I can't believe that in less than 9 months, we'll have a child!" Kagome said. "Yeah, it does seem a little un-real." Inuyasha replied. "I'm worried, Inuyasha. What if we aren't good parents?" She blurted out. "We'll be fine, Kagome. I know that I'm ready to be a father, and you'll make a great mom." Inuyasha said re-assuringly. "Thanks, honey." Kagome said, laying her head on his shoulder. They snuggled together tightly, enjoying each other's warmth and falling into dreamland.
That's it for chapter 25. Kagome and Inuyasha are going to be parents, too! They'll make great parents, though. No worries here! Who's going to end up pregnant next, though? Maybe me! (Not likely, considering I'm a guy.) See you next chapter! Tonyf
