Because you weren't there

Disclaimer: Although I don't want to spoil anything, I have to say that I don't own any of this except for the plot, Hashi and Hisa and Hana. Also, I give much gratitude to my friend Courtney for coming up with a different ending that I had at first.

A/N: I love everyone who loves my story...seriously. I wrote this chapter to a sad song I was listening to. It kind of got me into what they were feeling. This is a sad chapter...get tissues! If you're listening to music...put it onto a sad song...: P

Five months later

Kagome wasn't exactly happy anymore. She hardly had any sleep for a long time, and she was, for some reason, growing far from InuYasha. He didn't want to be around someone who was cranky twenty four/seven. Sometimes he went back to his time to check out the others. They really weren't far off. For that matter, they were still in the same village. InuYasha met up with them.

"Has kagome had the baby yet?" Sango asked.

"No. I think it's been eight months." He said, stating the truth.

"Why aren't you there with her now?" Shippo asked. They were all in the hut talking and Kaede entered.

"Why are thou here? Aren't you supposed to be taking care of Lady Kagome?" She asked him.

"I don't know anymore." He sighed. "She's cranky, and well, she is constantly saying the 'Sit' word that I don't like. She didn't say it for the first four months of her being pregnant, but, now it's constant." He sighed again. He was disappointed of Kagome.

Meanwhile...

"Ahh!" Kagome screamed, as she fell on to her hand and knees. She cried, and still on her knees, reduced her hands to her elbows so her nose touched the ground. Her stomach was very large and only eight months in. She wasn't due until next month, and she was alone, in the dark. "Where are you InuYasha?" She told herself. She continued to cry. That's when her water broke. She was shocked. She started getting contractions, and she stood up as fast as she could, trying not to hurt the baby. She still didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. InuYasha wasn't around as much as he was before. She walked outside, where she became unconscious, deeply hurt, on her side, at night. Her mom and Sota were out. She was all alone.

Back at the hut...

"You should really be getting back now." Sango told InuYasha. "She might need you to help her get to bed." She stated.

"I guess you're right." He said. He stood up, and walked outside. He ran back to the well. He than walked calmly when he got to Kagome's time, dreading of going back to the psycho maniac baring his child. He than smelt her blood. He ran to her, and he stopped, shocked to see her, lying on the floor, bleeding, and in the dead of night. He picked up her bloody body and ran as quick as he could to Kaede. He bashed threw the door to the hut.

"Where are you old woman!?" He yelled very loudly. He saw Miroku and Sango in the middle of a conversation, and they saw their best friend nearly dead. Kaede came wandering in.

"Is Kagome dead?" He asked her very concerned for Kagome, as he placed her gently on the ground. Kaede leaned next to her.

"No. But, she is out of my reach. I MUST ask of you to take her to her doctors, if you want her and your child to live." Kaede said quickly.

"But-"InuYasha said, trying to object. He was scared. He didn't know where the hospitals were in her time were, and not to mention the people. He only knew where they were before because of Kagome. Besides, she wouldn't make it.

"No buts InuYasha...leave!" Kaede shouted. He ran out of the hut and into the well with Kagome, as quickly as he could. Miroku and Sango rushed with them until they got to the well.

"InuYasha! There is no time to dawdle!" Miroku yelled. InuYasha gave him a very dirty look, as they continued to run. InuYasha jumped into the well. But, wasn't able to pass through. Sango and Miroku looked at him.

"We can't get though!" InuYasha shouted.

"Oh no!" Sango yelled. "Well, get out of there...get back to Kaede's hut!" She yelled again.

"C'mon Kagome! Wake up!" He yelled at her, as he rushed back to Kaede. When he got there, he placed Kagome on the ground. "We can't get through!" He yelled.

"Oh dear." She said. "I ask of Sango to stay and you all rest to pray for Lady Kagome and the baby's soul." She stated. Everyone did what they were told.

"Sango, take Lady Kagome's head please, while I deliver the baby." She asked of Sango. Sango didn't want to waste time. She held onto Kagome, as she stroked her hair. Sango's eyes dripped slowly, down her cheek and onto Kagome's face. Kaede had been in the area where the one of the child's feet were hanging out. "This baby is doomed! It's feet first." Kaede warned. Sango was happy that Kagome was knocked out from all this, so she wasn't in all the pain that she thought would be in. Kaede, worried to see a foot first, and not having Kagome push the baby out either didn't help. Kaede had to do what she had to do by going into the body, and pulling the leg. But, from what Kaede's nervous hands could feel, the umbilical cord was caught wrapped around it. Sango was becoming more depressed as she saw Kaede's face disappear. Kaede was trying to solve the problem. Which, she was very happy she did.

Outside...

"I pray she'll be alright." Miroku said. Miroku was in his position that he normally was in when he was praying. InuYasha sat next to him, and didn't say a word. Miroku looked at InuYasha staring straight ahead, and streams of tears go down his face.

"She will." InuYasha said after a while.

Back to the problem...

After many struggles and twists and turns...She got the umbilical cord untwisted. She than gently got both legs together and light pulled it out up to its stomach.

"Sango, get a cloth please." Kaede asked. Sango rushed to get a cloth and handed it to Kaede, and than returned to Kagome's upper body. Kaede gently pulled out the baby. It cried very loudly. InuYasha and Miroku heard it.

"It's cry!" Miroku shouted. InuYasha and Miroku stood up happily. They both ran in. Miroku couldn't believe what he saw. InuYasha too. Neither of them has ever seen any woman give birth before.

"Get out!" Kaede shouted without looking at them, and noticed that there was a head behind the other child's head. They ran out, without any fuss.

"Can I hold the baby?" Sango asked.

"Yes." Kaede handed her the baby. And, than focused on the other baby.

"It's a girl!" Sango shouted gleefully. "May I tell InuYasha?" She asked.

"Yes..." Kaede said, still not looking. She didn't want her sister's recarnation, and a dear friend, gone and lost forever. Not to mention, that she could see and sense jewel shards. Although, that didn't matter anymore. She was the new protector of it.

Sango brought the crying baby outside.

"InuYasha...Your baby girl." Sango handed the baby over. He was so happy and hoping that Kagome was happy too. He held her in his warm arms. She pulled onto his hair, but, he didn't seem to mind all that much. Miroku and Sango backed away, when they first heard InuYasha talking to his baby girl. A butterfly fluttered by in the darkness, and the midnight light was shown on them. The girl had the dog ears like InuYasha, and the white hair, but, everything else, resembled to Kagome. He was a proud and happy father.

"Hoshi." InuYasha said. "I'm your father. You're very lucky." The baby squealed and squiggled around happily. He smiled.

Meanwhile...

Sango was back in the hut.

"This baby shall be easier to deliver. It is head first. If I haven't got the other child out quicker, this baby would have died." Kaede told Sango. Kagome was still unconscious. "Although, I didn't know Kagome was having twins." Kaede said after that. The baby was easy to take out. Sango gave the cloth to Kaede as this baby was quiet. Alive, but, quiet.

"This is a girl too." Sango said, as she wiped the blood off, and brought it out to InuYasha.

"Another bundle of joy InuYasha. It's another girl." Sango handed the second baby.

"Wow," InuYasha said surprised of himself. "Umm...thanks." He said, as Sango walked back into the hut for the second time. Miroku was back where he was...praying. "Hisa." He said again. He named his second child. This baby, had black hair, but also had the dog ears. InuYasha was extremely happy that Hoshi and Hisa would have each other to hold and to be together with and that not only one would be blamed for...like he was when he was a child...if it came to anything that dealed with humans.

Sango saw Kaede deep in concentration again.

"Is she having another child?!" Sango asked, alarmed of this theory.

"I perhaps think so very much." Kaede said. There was a third baby. Sango rushed to find another cloth. "But, this one is coming out very nicely." She said. It did come out nicely. Almost as if there was oil or butter on him or her.

Sango gave Kaede the third piece of cloth, and Kaede wrapped it around it. "If you don't mind." As Sango was holing her arms out. "I'd like to take this one." Kaede said. She walked outside with the third and final baby. As, Sango cleaned all the blood up from the floor.

"A third one!?" InuYasha asked.

"Yes.' Kaede said. She handed him it.

"Is Kagome okay?" He asked concerned.

She sighed. "I don't believe so. I will try my hardest." She said, as she walked back into the bloody, stinky room. Kaede felt the pulse of her. She was dead.

A/N: MUAHAHHA...I left it at that...don't worry! More coming soon! This took me very long to write...so...it better be worth it. Oh, and if you're wondering what Hoshi, Hisa and Hana means...Hoshi means star, Hisa means long-lasting and Hana means graceful or flower. :P please R&R!!!
