Chapter 10: Middle of the Night Blues
Princess Sango
Kagome woke up in the middle of the night. She felt Inuyasha's arms around her waist. Then the events came back to her, and she started to cry. 'I know that it isn't our fault. I just didn't want another child yet, two was enough at twenty. It's only going to be nine weeks again, though he'll be with me this time.'
She cried harder, but she tried to muffle her cries into the sheets. It was no use, Inuyasha heard her. He pulled her closer to him, "Regrets?"
He looked her over while he awaited her answer. "Only one Inuyasha, it's not you, I promise. It's just that I really didn't want another child until at least twenty-five. I don't want to get rid of it, that would be wrong."
He pulled her closer, "I'd never allow that either. Kagome, onegai, don't let your parents get you down. I talked to Souta, he tells me you have a beautiful singing voice, and that you should become a singer. Can I hear one please?"
Kagome looked up at him, "No... not now Inuyasha. I don't want to sing now. I never sang to anyone besides Souta and the kids."
"I doubt that I could get a job for singing if I had three kids. Maybe two, but never three."
Inuyasha stared, "You don't think I could handle three?"
Kagome shook her head, "Inuyasha, I remember what happened last time you babysat them, they were three, and you couldn't handle them."
"So those were twins, this is only one. Easy!"
"I'll think about it, Inuyasha. Let's just finish the act."
He nodded, "Kagome, last time, we didn't do this, but you need some blood, from me." Kagome stared at Inuyasha and how close his nails were to his wrist. "No Inuyasha, please no. I can't take that from you."
Inuyasha looked up, "You have to Kagome. It will give you hanyou powers, like mine. Not only that, it would give you easier time during pregnancy. I can't force you though."
Kagome looked up, "How does it work?"
"All you have to do is drink it and you'll be out for awhile. Then you'll wake up a hanyou, that's it."
"Okay, fine Inuyasha." Inuyasha pierced his wrist into a small cut.
"Just drink a few drops." He held it out to her. She drank four drops, before the room went black.
Inuyasha then held her close and fell asleep with his mate, not to wake up until she did.
