A/N: Thank you to all reviewers! I'm so sorry for taking so long to update! But remember: I have a life too. You can blame it all on the homework I have. Not only that, I had a minor writers block too...I was really REALLY thinking about the ending. -SIGH- so sad. Only 2 chapters left. -sob-
NOTE: From this point on, there's not going to be major fluff...only humor I've given fluff lovers more than their share already. Now, it's time to let the humor lovers have a little treat.
Epilogue, Part 6: Those Nightmarish Mood Swings
(Note: This chapter is about the whole time period while Kagome's pregnant)
"INU YASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Inu Yasha winced and walked toward the source of the scream...the kitchen. This was just great. Since they had all found out that Kagome was pregnant, he and Kagome were insisted to stay at Higurashi Shrine until the baby came.
'The only good thing out of this is that I don't have to go to work yet...' he thought grimly.
"Yes?" Inu Yasha asked wearily as he entered into the kitchen. "Is something wrong?"
Kagome stuck her head out of the refrigerator, "Honey, we're running low on food!"
'That's because you've been eating it all,' he thought to himself.
"And your point is?" he crossed his arms over his chest and fixed his eyes on her.
"I'm hungry, that's what."
Kagome looked around and spotted a bowl of fruit. She walked over to it and took an apple, continuing with her mouth full, "Could you go shopping?"
Inu Yasha sighed tiredly, "Can't you ask your mom?"
"I don't want to."
"But she's a mom and mothers do that 'shopping' stuff."
He gulped when she sent him a glare and stepped back when she strolled over to him.
"So are you saying that WOMEN should do all the cooking and shopping and cleaning while the men do NOTHING?!!!!!!" she demanded, poking a finger into his chest.
"I'm just saying-"
"WELL?! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! IT'S NOT GREAT AND EASY BEING PREGNANT, YOU KNOW!"
"I know that but-"
"ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR YOU TO DO A LITTLE SHOPPING, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!!!!!"
"No-"
Kagome pushed him out of the kitchen and out the front door.
"You have your wallet with you?" she asked.
"Yeah-"
"Good," she smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "Don't come home late! Be home by dinner! I love you."
The door slammed before he could say anything else.
"I love you too," Inu Yasha rolled his eyes and walked toward his parked jeep (I forgot about the jeep too! It's been awhile...). "Sheesh...she sounds like she's my mother..."
:o:o:o:
"Vegetables, fruit, bread, chicken..." Inu Yasha droned on, his eyes flickering down the list.
He pushed the cart forward.
"...Eggs, bagels, juice, cereal-" his mouth fell open. "...cookies, cake, pie, jell-O, and ice cream?! What is this? Are we having a party or something?! She's pregnant and if she eats this stuff, who knows what'll happen to her or the baby!"
The people around him stared as if he were a lunatic.
He caught them and barked, "WHAT?!"
They looked away and continued doing their own business.
"Nosy idiots," he muttered and shoved the cart forward.
:o:o:o:
"I'M HOME!" Inu Yasha hollered and slammed the door shut with his foot. "Kagome, here's your damn food!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAY!" his wife came into view with a cheerful smile.
Kagome grabbed the bags out of his hands and went back to where she came from ( guess where?...the kitchen of course!).
"You're welcome!" he shouted after her and sighed in exhaustion. "Man, not even one thank you."
:o:o:o:Several Days Later:o:o:o:
Kagome slumped on the couch as she and Inu Yasha watched T.V., "You don't care about me, do you, Inu Yasha?"
He gulped, "No, no! It's not that! I'm just tired and I..."
"Well so am I!" she shot him an unexpected glare. "You think it's easy to carry this baby around?!"
She began to weep, "I can't believe you! I married you because we love each other and you're treating me like this?!"
"I'm sorry, Kagome-" he started.
"If you're sorry, then give me the remote!!!!!!!" she screamed.
:o:o:o:Several Days Later:o:o:o:
"You're so mean!" Kagome screamed and brought the pan down onto Inu Yasha's head.
.
"What was THAT for?!" he demanded, rubbing the huge lump on his head.
"You'd go so low as to insult my cooking!!!!!!!"
"I'm only telling the truth about you food," he snapped.
She hissed, "You didn't have to be harsh!"
"Well I'm being harsh because YOU were being harsh!" he shot back. "If I'd known that you were like this when we were in college, I wouldn't have asked you to marry me!"
Kagome gasped out in horror, "Why you little..."
He waved a hand at her, "Nevermind. You can put everything in the sink, I'll make myself some toast for breakfast instead."
"Look around the kitchen, Inu Yasha," she muttered. He glanced slowly.
"Yeah, what about it?" he sat back in his chair.
"I get up and try to cook breakfast for you and this is how you thank me?" she asked coldly.
"Yup. You deserve it. You've been pretty brutal with me ever since we all found out that you were pregnant."
Kagome held up the pan once again and brought it down...but even harder this time. Unfortunately, Inu Yasha wasn't so lucky to stay conscious this time...
:o:o:o:
Inu Yasha laid on the couch and stared blankly at the ceiling. He was exhausted. He was worn out. He was speechless. He was pissed. He was excited.
"Only a few more weeks to endure," he mumbled. "And then the baby comes...Kami, it better be a boy. I didn't go through hell for nothing."
RING
Inu Yasha's eyes wandered over to the phone on the table in front of him.
RING
He sighed and sat up.
RING
"Inu Yasha, I know you're in there! Answer the phone!" he heard Kagome shout from the kitchen.
RING
'Maybe I'll let it ring again, just to make her pissed,' he stared at the ringing object.
RING
"I SAID ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE!" he heard his wife shout again. "I'M TRYING TO EAT IN PEACE HERE!"
"Sheesh," he growled and snatched the phone up. "Hello?"
No answer.
"HELLO?!"
"There's no need to scream, Inu Yasha," Miroku's voice replied coolly.
"Oh, hey," he sighed and laid back down except with phone in hand this time. "What's up, Miroku?"
"Save me."
"What?"
"Save me," Miroku repeated. "Save me from Sango's cooking. Obviously, she hasn't been bridal trained."
"SANGO hasn't been bridal trained? You should take a look at KAGOME," Inu Yasha smirked.
"I HEARD THAT!!!" Kagome's voice screamed from the nearby kitchen.
"Anyways," Inu Yasha said more softly and rolled his eyes. "Her mood swings are driving me insane."
"I give you all my sympathy...," Miroku said honestly. "Well, I was wondering...do you think mood swings are contagious or something?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"It's a question question, that's what."
"Mood swings aren't contagious."
"You sure 'bout that? You've been acting like you've been having mood swings yourself. Have you been getting enough sleep?"
"Have I been getting enough sleep?" Inu Yasha repeated. "Do you THINK I've been getting enough sleep?!! At least once a week, Kagome wakes me up in the middle of the night and asks for a glass of cold water...and so, I have to get the stupid water for her. Then what? She asks for a snack, and that's what I get her. Sometimes, she complains that she's hungry. So, I go outside and cook a meal...lucky that I know how to cook, by the way...and then I bring it to her right when I'm done. And as I get closer to the bed, guess what?"
"What?" Miroku asked.
"I find out that she's asleep again, that's what."
"That's awful."
"Are you being sarcastic, monk, because if you are that's not helping. That just pisses me off."
"No, I mean it. That really is awful."
"I don't think I can take all this anymore," Inu Yasha yawned faintly. "Kagome and her mother have been talking about names for the baby recently...I don't get to have a vote in it."
"That sucks."
"You're telling me...It's going to be awhile until everything is back to normal. Kagome's mom already agreed that she'd take care of the baby while I'm at work and while Kagome's in college."
"Yeah, speaking of that," Miroku jumped in. "Sango didn't start medical college yet. She said she wanted to wait for Kagome so they could learn together. Isn't that nice of her?"
"Yeah. But it isn't much of a surprise," Inu Yasha inspected his nails with boredom. "Those two wenches are best friends for life."
Miroku laughed, "True."
:o:o:o:One Week Later:o:o:o:
"Inu Yasha, try this, would you?" Kagome held out a spoon filled with oden that she made.
She frowned as she watched him back up a step.
"It's safe to eat, right?" he asked with uneasiness.
Kagome glared at her husband, "Why wouldn't it be?"
"Oh, no reason..."
"Then taste it."
"You sure it doesn't have-"
"Oh for goodness sake, just TASTE IT!" Kagome screeched. "You cowardly bastard!!!!!!"
'Where did she get this attitude?' Inu Yasha stared in terror (¬¬ Gee, I wonder who she got that language from...).
:o:o:o:A Few Days Later:o:o:o:
"I finally escaped her," Inu Yasha mumbled as he sat on a stool in the kitchen of Miroku and Sango's house. "Thank you SO much for saving me."
"I'll be sure to tell Sango that," Miroku smiled. "It was her idea to have a girls' day out with Kagome..."
The two men sat in silence and jumped at the sound of the phone ringing.
"Hello?" Miroku picked up the nearby phone from its cradle on the kitchen wall. "Oh, hey, sweetheart."
Inu Yasha smirked at the last word.
Miroku rolled his eyes and mouthed, "Grow up." before going back to the conversation on the phone with Sango.
"Mm hm, Inu Yasha's here," Miroku said and cast a glance at his friend across from him. "What is it?"
Inu Yasha could faintly hear Sango blabbering excitedly on the other end.
"Oh, God," Miroku's eyes widened. "Well, you're already there, right?"
More quiet blabbering.
"Okay, I'll meet you there in a few minutes," he replied and added. "With Inu Yasha along with me of course."
He hung up.
"So, what's up?" Inu Yasha gave him a nod.
"Get your car keys," Miroku said hastily and began his way toward the front door. "We have to go to the hospital."
"Wait up, sheesh! What's this all about?"
Miroku halted to a stop and turned around to face him, "Inu Yasha, you baka. Kagome's in labor!"
A/N: Dun dun dun! Hehehe. The next chapter is the last chapter and then there's going to be an epilogue for the epilogue. This was a pretty awkward chapter to type out...mood swings are pretty weird... I'll try to not take so long to update this time. Please review!!!!!!!!!
