Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha. I can never hope to.
I'm a beginning writer for Inuyasha fanfics, and this is my first one. I'm
open to productive criticism, nothing more. Please review this and tell me
what you think! Include pointers and ideas to make my next chapter more
interesting! Oh, and a suggestion for a new title for my stories would be
most appreciated.
Sorry for the wait! I've just been lazy. ^_^ Please don't kill me!
*~*~*~*~Chapter Six*~*~*~*~
"Inuyasha?" asked Kagome hopefully as she saw his golden eyes open slowly.
He grunted and made a feeble response, "K-Kagome?"
"Hai Inuyasha?"
"Oh Kami, what happened?"
"We were fighting Naraku, remember? Well actually it was the puppet of him."
"Are you okay Kagome?"
"Hai, I should be asking you that. How do you feel?"
"I'm fine, baka, I'll be fully healed by tonight", he answered haughtily, his arrogance quickly returning.
He tried to get up, only to gasp in pain when he realized how bad his injuries were.
"What are you doing? You need to rest", Kagome as she gently pushed him back down on to his back.
"Feh, as soon as I'm better we're not going to stay here for long. I'm going to catch up with Naraku and kick his ass.
Kagome smiled sweetly and tucked a loose lock of silvery hair behind his head.
"Where are Miroku and Sango? I haven't seen them since I came here", Inuyasha said to hide his embarrassment at the touch.
"Hmm, your right, I haven't seen them around. Maybe I should go look for them to see if they're alright", replied Kagome.
"No don't leave! I...I mean, it's Miroku and Sango, I'm sure they'll be fine, so don't waste your time looking for them", Inuyasha spoke quickly.
Kagome was about to say something, but at that moment, Kaede entered carrying some salve and herbs.
"Kagome, could you use some of the medicine from your time? We need to change Inuyasha's bandages".
"Hai", Kagome answered as she got up and walked toward her bulging yellow pack and took out bandages and antibacterial cream.
"Here", Kaede said as she handed Kagome the salve and herbs, "I think you know how to do this, so I'll get some water from the well so we can start dinner".
Inuyasha began pulling off his haori carefully, to avoid hitting his injuries, after Kaede exited. Shyly, Kagome began spreading the salve and antibacterial cream on his ribs and stomach, not even noticing how Inuyasha was enjoying it very much.
To her surprise and his embarrassment, he let out a low growl, which to other youkai was a mating call.
"Inuyasha? What was that?" she asked tentatively.
He blanched, mortified that he let the growl slip, and hastily found an excuse.
"Em, it was just a grunt, of- of pain", he said, praying that she would buy that.
'If she doesn't believe that, I'll never hear the end of it. She'll tease me 'till I kick the bucket', he thought.
"Hm, okay, whatever you say".
She finished rubbing in the cream and wrapping his injuries back up again.
"There, all finished."
Kaede entered the hut, carrying a clay pot of water. She had a look of deep effort on her weathered face as she handed the heavy pot to Kagome.
"Alright, now I'll make some ramen. Where is Shippou? He can go hunt for some fish down at the stream", Kagome said as she bustled around the room, grabbing a package of ramen and pulling out her pan and miniature, portable, battery-charged stove.
"With that, no wonder you pack is always heavy", Kaede commented as she eyed the stove.
"Hai, I know, but it is all necessary", Kagome mumbled as she dumped in the ramen and turned up the stove.
She stood up and walked to the doorway, pushing aside the bamboo tarp they used as a door, leaned out her head, and yelled, "Shippou! Shippou! Come here Shippou!"
Inuyasha cringed.
"Kagome!" came Shippou's high-pitched squeal.
"Ah, Shippou, since Inuyasha has been injured, do you think you could go down to the stream and maybe catch some fish?"
"Sure Kagome, anything for you!" Shippou said as he smiled widely and bounded off into the forest.
Kagome resumed cooking as Miroku and Sango came into the hut, both looking disorganized and untidy, with their clothes pulled out in places and Sango's hair a royal mess, but strangely, both were smiling.
"Where have you two been? You've been gone all day", inquired Kagome, looking at them with her head cocked to one side and examining them carefully.
"We just went on a...hike", Miroku said slyly.
"Hai", Sango agreed, nodding her head a little to vigorously for Kagome's taste.
"You could have told us, and you guys took a very long hike", Kagome said, pushing further, because somehow she wasn't buying their story.
"Uh", began Sango, rapidly trying to think of a believable cover-up, "We- I mean you- since you were so busy taking care of Inuyasha, we didn't want to bother you, and we um, needed a bit of fresh air".
Kagome gave Sango a critical look, which made Sango give her an expression that said 'I'll tell you later'.
Kagome nodded, confusing Inuyasha, who then asked, "Oi, what's the deal? You two are giving each other strange looks".
A sweat drop formed on both Sango's and Kagome's forehead.
"Ahmm, it's nothing Inuyasha, nothing", Kagome said waving her hand.
Inuyasha squinted at her, and then deciding to dismiss it, asked Kagome when the ramen would be done.
"In about five more minutes", Kagome replied, happy that the subject had changed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, what happened? Why were you two gone so long?" Kagome asked, raising the question once more.
"Do you swear to not tell ANYONE?" said Sango.
"Yes, yes, I swear, now tell me!"
Sango turned her head around, looking this way and that to make sure they were the only ones there, and then said, "Um, well, we..."
"You WHAT?" practically screamed Kagome, anticipation getting the better of her.
"We had...you know what".
"Oh Kami! Are you serious?"
"Yes I'm serious! Now keep it down or someone will hear!" hissed Sango, though she was relieved she finally told someone.
"Did you use...protection?" asked Kagome.
"Um, no..." came Sango's reply.
Kagome squeaked.
"Oh my gosh! Then that must mean your pregnant, right?"
"Yes, hopefully."
"Oh Sango! You're going to be a mother!"
"I know!" sniffled Sango, suddenly very happy, and clutched Kagome's hands tightly.
"What will you name it?"
Sango gave her a dull look and said, "Well, I won't really know until I know what gender it is."
"Oh, of course, I know, but I mean, what will you name it if it's a girl or boy?"
"Hmm, for a girl I was thinking Kuskio, and for a boy, I like Shinkatu."
"Those are beautiful names", Kagome said as she nodded her head.
Sango sighed happily, "I just can't wait to be a mother."
Author's Notes
Do you like the Japanese names that I totally made up from the top of my head? If not, I don't care. I like them. ^^
Well, read and review, and give suggestions or if you see problems in my stories. No flames please.
