Chapter 15: Silver Grasshopper
"Don't worry Yusuke, I'm sure a demon will drop by for a friendly visit while we're here," said Inutaisho with a grin, all he got for a reply was a grunt coming from the spirit detective's mouth.
"Don't bother kid, he's not gonna budge, boredom has concealed his mind," said Inuyasha.
"Wow, Inuyasha's learning big words," said Kagome from the chair in the corner of the hut.
"Shutup," he retaliated.
"That's an old one," said Miroku, who was leaning against the west wall.
Inutaisho and Kagome immediately snapped their heads to the right as their eyes narrowed, "What is it?" Asked Sango.
"Jewel shard," they said in unison.
Inuyasha jumped up off of his chair, "How fast is it coming?!" He asked quickly.
"About thirty miles per hour, it's a ways away though," replied Inutaisho, his father tilted a brow in confusion, "Uh, never mind, how about it's coming here pretty fast? Does that work?" He asked; Inuyasha nodded.
Hiei and Kurama barged into the hut and Hiei quickly retrieved his sword, "There is a spider demon coming this way, it's larger than usual, I have actually never seen one so large," said Kurama.
"That thing definitely has a jewel shard," said Inutaisho as he retrieved his gun from his side pocket and hopped out the window, Yusuke was hot on his heals and yelling something about how he hadn't gotten to kill anything for the past few weeks. Inuyasha hopped out after his son and saw a huge spider demon crash through the trees behind the inn; it gave a blood curdling shriek as it charged the three heroes. Yusuke shot it straight on with the spirit gun while Inutaisho went off to the left firing the miko energy bullets, his father jumped to the right and sent a wind scar straight at its side. The hanyous landed and Yusuke retracted his spirit energy, as the smoke cleared the spider demon jumped out of it and straight for Inuyasha, the silver haired hanyou narrowly dodged the fangs of the said enemy. Inuyasha landed firmly in front of a tree and glared as he noticed the poison oozing out of the ground from the creature's fangs. The demon pulled its fangs from the ground and gave another bone chilling shriek at Inuyasha, the half demon's only response was a smirk. Yusuke whizzed by in a blur, punching out one of the creature's fangs in the process. The spider demon shrieked once more, this time in pain, it glared at Yusuke and went straight for him, big mistake. A bullet enveloped in blue light hit it straight in the eye and sent it flying back. Suddenly all its right legs were gone, and there was a Hiei, sheathing his sword.
"You fools took too long so I decided to speed up the process," he snapped. Inutaisho dug his .45 into the youkai's head and pulled the trigger. After the monster was dead he flicked the gun, sending a black shard into the air. Right when it hit Inutaisho's hands it turned pink, he smirked as he put it in his own little jar.
Sesshomaru looked left and right through the entire town but couldn't find a decent present for Rin, 'This is a pathetic excuse for a merchant village,' thought Sesshomaru. As he looked his mind drifted back to how that quarter blood had defeated him, 'He was incredibly fast, and how can it be possible that he is at his prime when my brother and that human just became mates.' As he walked something glittering caught his eye, he walked up to the little stand calmly, "I would like to buy that," he said, pointing at a golden necklace with a crystal angel attached to it.
The man shook uncontrollably with fear, Sesshomaru smirked, he found fear amusing, "Uh, tw... twenty gold coins."
Sesshomaru nodded and kicked Jaken, he mumbled, "Yes Sesshomaru-sama," and put the designated coins up.
Despite that he found the human amusing when he handed him the necklace he nodded a thank-you and went to the hut, he opened the door and looked around confused, still with a straight face of course. Suddenly at least ninety extra pounds were on Sesshomaru's back. Rin was basically on top of the youkai as she reached her arms around his face and used her fingers to pull his face into a huge grin. She giggled as she jumped down and put her hands behind her back, "What'd you get me Sesshy."
Sesshomaru tilted his eyebrow, Sesshy? What the hell was that? He knelt down and handed her the necklace, "This," he said, his lips tugging into a VERY VERY rare smile.
Rin squealed and pounced Sesshomaru, "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" She yelled, pulling back with a big goofy grin on her face.
Inutaisho walked up to the tree his father was in and looked up with a smirk, he was sitting in the tree with Kagome, "You know, I could teach you some skills."
"I'm fine pup," he said in a sort of snappy tone, he didn't like the idea of being trained by his kid.
"Come on Dad, you know you want some of these skills I know."
"I said no!"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, "Inuyasha, you'll be able to protect me better," she said with a soft smile.
"No!"
'He's more stubborn than I thought, oh, I know what I can do,' she thought, and then she gave him the puppy dog eyes. Inuyasha hated that look, "Pllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssseeee Inuyasha?"
'Son of a bitch!' He yelled in his mind, "Fine, I'll do it."
"Thank you," she said in the cutest voice she could muster, Inuyasha shuddered; he hated that.
Kagome smiled as she watched Inutaisho try to teach his father to use patience to muster up his speed, she couldn't quite here what they were saying but she knew what they were doing. Eventually he convinced Inuyasha to actually meditate and it helped the hanyou a great deal. He had learned to fight like Inutaisho in just four hours, and at this his attitude was back in top notch, it just screamed, 'I'm better than all of you.'
'He's so full of himself,' thought Kagome with a warm smile.
The others were all in the hut, Botan looked at Sango, "Sango, why haven't any demons come for the shards, we have the last one."
"And it was pretty damn easy if you ask me," said Yusuke getting in her face with a big grin, Botan pushed him away.
"They're going to come, and we are at a disadvantage because we're stuck in one spot," said Sango with a melancholy voice.
"Don't be so depressed human, moral is strict when it comes to facing a force as great as Naruku," snapped Hiei.
"I hate to say this Sango, but I believe he is right, without confidence we would not be a threat at all," said Kurama from his corner, Sango only gave a nod as a response.
Yusuke picked up the little glass jar with the shards that Inutaisho had left on the table, "What's so great about this thing anyway, I see nothing to gawk at aside from the wish."
"That question has been asked many times Yusuke, ye should understand that," said Keada as she stirred soup for the sick villagers.
Yusuke got up and sighed, "I'm going for a walk," he said, putting his hands in his pockets and walking out. As he walked down the pathway outside of the village he sensed familiar spirit energy, "Kurama?" He wondered, looking around himself. He heard bushes rustling and quickly turned to the right where the sound had come from, it was indeed Kurama but there was something different in this aura. Yusuke gasped as a white fox tackled him and snarled in his face, and Yusuke's suspicions were confirmed when he noticed the fox thief's multiple tails.
'Where are your friends, I must have the Shikon no Tama!' Snarled the younger version of his demon friend; the sound echoed in his mind.
"Why should I tell you?" Snapped Yusuke; this made the fox once again snarl in his face.
"Rose whip!!" A resounding and loud crack was heard as the sound barrier was broken by the thorn whip that was Kurama's weapon of choice. The fox went tumbling madly on its side and glared at the human version of himself. The rose whip pushed him back but didn't hurt him considering his bond with the weapon. The fox flipped to his feet but was immediately punched back down by Yusuke. Once again he tried to get up but two swords aptly slashed him before he knew what was going on. Inutaisho smirked at Hiei as they once again readied their swords, one wide and broad with fur on the handle, another thin and curved. They once again bounded the fox demon and cut him a bit, not anything serious but enough to make him back off. The thief was outnumbered, four to one; the only thing he could do was run, and that he did.
Yusuke grinned, "Thanks, but I could have handled it."
Kurama tilted an eyebrow and Inutaisho laughed, "Yusuke, I was much more powerful in Sengoku Jidai than I am now."
Inuyasha gazed outside the hut window, they had all the shards after that stupid spider youkai attacked; now all they had to do was defeat Naraku, but it was easier said than done. He wondered how hard it would be, but of course they had to wait a couple of months and as up to now they were only there for a couple of weeks. What he saw outside the window reminded him of how loving his mother was, there was a beautiful sunset and the sky was bathed in orange, purple, and a nice shade of yellow.
-Flashback-
"Inuyasha, I want you to see something," said his mother, quickly leading him over to the window.
Inuyasha's reaction was a stifled gasp, the little hanyou then broke out into a grin, "Wow, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen mom," he said in an exited tone as he gazed at the sunset's riveting colors.
-End Flashback-
Inuyasha smirked; he remembered his mother like it was yesterday, she was the only person who saw him for who he truly was aside from his friends now and... her, Kagome, the woman he was too stubborn to admit his feelings for because a clay pot claiming to be his Kikyo was walking around. His thoughts then drifted to his lover's mother, who had saved the day with her little 'slip-up' about the revived person not really being Kikyo, damn, if only he knew that sooner. In a way Kagome's mother reminded him of his own, always with that silly personality, and never went crazy unless something really bad happened. For crying out loud the woman basically GAVE Inuyasha her daughter, she was so trusting and he wasn't exactly planning on letting her down. "Damn that woman scares me," he mumbled with a smirk. Now that he thought about it a bit more it WAS a part of Kikyo, her hatred, no, wait, her fear of his demon side. As far as Inuyasha could see that fear was filtered out through hatred, Inutaisho had claimed to have seen her human again before she took her last breath. Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted by a blood curdling scream, he grabbed his shoulder with a hiss, HIS Kagome was in pain. He quickly rushed out of the hut to find her scent melded with that of a demon's. Another scream and another sting of pain made him go even faster. As he found Kagome in the middle of his forest he gasped, a snake demon had poisoned her and took the Shikon no Tama from her, 'Crap, if Inutaisho hadn't run out this probably wouldn't be happening. Stop it Inuyasha, blaming this on others, especially your own son won't get you anywhere!' And with that last thought he drew the Tetsusaiga as the demon dropped Kagome to the ground.
The snake demon hissed, "Mmmmm, your little whore wasss quite tasssty."
Inuyasha snarled, "You fucker, you'll regret EVER touching her, and for hurting her I'll make sure to make your death extra painful!!!"
"You're a bit cocky for a missserable hanyou," slithered the snake, clearly the jewel resided inside of him as he had swallowed it.
Inuyasha glowered as the snake started to slither towards him, he knew how fast these things were; one minute they could be slithering slowly and the next they could snap without you even noticing.
'Remember dad, watch your enemy's movements and counter them with your own speed, since you're half and half you're far more powerful than any demon to roam this Earth; it may sound crazy to you but the thin blood down to the 1/16 is as good as you can get in the power and speed regiment.' Inutaisho's voice rang through his head. Inuyasha smirked as the demon struck at him, time seemed to slow down and he pulled the Tetsusaiga up, easily blocking the youkai's attack.
The snake jumped back and hissed, "What, but no one can sssee that attack, essspecially not a sssniveling half-breed who chossse hisss mate to a low human life form!"
Inuyasha smirked, he knew what he had to do, and the thing was he didn't even do it often considering he never really liked the whole counter-attack thing. This demon was powerful, and the wind scar alone could not penetrate its scaly skin, Inuyasha knew this just by looking at it. "I'm going to give you the privilege of going out with a bang, but I can't guarantee you it's not going to be painful." All Inuyasha had to do was wait until he used the Shikon shards to blast at him. He dodged fang bites and spit poison left and right with ease, often blowing the snake back with his Tetsusaiga. An energy aura started to form as the snake's mouth widened to expose its fangs emitting energy, 'It's about time the fuck-face got pissed enough to use the jewel shards on me.' Inuyasha got into a stance and gripped the Tetsusaiga tightly; the wind flowed around his sword like a constant reminder that he was one of the most powerful demons to walk the face of the Earth.
The huge energy ball rushed at Inuyasha with a great speed, but to the hanyou it was going as slow as a tortoise, he smirked, "Backlash wave!!!!" He yelled, always one to call out his attacks, as he hit the center of the ball with the wind scar and sent it riveting straight at the snake, which was immediately disintegrated. He ran to Kagome and put an ear to her chest, 'Shit, her heart is going too slow.' He quickly scooped up the shards with Kagome and ran back to the village as fast as his legs could carry him.
(A/N I would leave it there but hey, I'm not the evil cliffy type, so I'll just skip ahead a bit... what? Ok, a lot then.)
It had been a month and a half and still, Kagome showed no progress of healing, and Keada couldn't even give her the herbs she needed because she was impregnated. Inuyasha paced outside the hut, basically making a hole in the ground, she had been fighting the poison for this long, and that was a snake youkai; she was a powerful woman. "Master Inuyasha!" Said the annoying little voice from his shoulder.
Inuyasha turned to Myouga, who was sitting on his shoulder, "Where the fuck have you been you worthless little flea!!!!!!!!" Myouga flinched.
"Forgive me lord, but I was captured by demons."
"Where are Yusuke and the others?" Questioned the hanyou.
"They set up camp outside the village."
"Inuyasha," came Sango's voice behind him, the hanyou faced her, "She wants to see you now," she said sadly, walking over to Miroku and falling into his arms with tears running down her cheek. As the monk comforted her Inuyasha went inside and knelt down by Kagome's bed, there were gifts scattered about, most from the village.
"Kagome," he said softly, stroking her cheek softly with his hand, she was pale and cold, but still fighting.
"I... Inu... yahsa," he flinched as he heard her struggle just to talk, "I... I don't know what happened... it's all my fault, I shouldn't have wandered off."
Inuyasha sniffed and wiped his eyes, "No, Kagome, please don't talk like that."
"It... hurts," she said softly.
"But the poison is numb, what hurts?" He asked quickly, looking at her with a worried tone matching his face.
"It hurts," she repeated, Inuyasha looked down and noticed there was a big wet spot.
'Fuck!!' He tried to think quickly, but he couldn't just leave her, "Old hag, get your ass in here!!!!!!!" He grabbed her hand, "Kagome, I'm here, don't think about the pain."
Keada came rushing out and gasped when she saw the situation, "Inuyasha, ye need to stay at her side, I will return quickly," said Keada as she ran to her shed.
"Inuyasha... help me, I don't want it to be this way," she said, putting her full willpower behind each word.
Inuyasha shushed her, "Kagome, please don't talk, you know I'm here for you, you're gonna pull through this ok?" He reassured her, trying not to trip over his words as a foreign sting came and his eyes wet. Keada came in with a bucket and a thick cloth. A single tear streamed down the hanyou's face, "Tell me old hag, will she pull through?"
"Most likely, but ye will need to make a choice for your beloved," said Keada, putting the bucket on the end of the bed and throwing the cloth over her own shoulder, "There are two ways to save lady Kagome, but one is least likely than the other."
"Just tell me old hag, we don't have enough time to swerve into shit with dramatic words!!!"
Keada sighed and knelt down in front of Kagome, removing the blanket from her and preparing for everything as Kagome hissed and mumbled in pain, "Ye can give her herbs, which will probably be of no use at this stage, or ye can make her a hanyou."
"And how do I do that?!" Snapped Inuyasha, still holding onto Kagome's hand like a life line.
"Simple, she must drink ye blood."
Inuyasha sighed and turned back to Kagome, still with watery eyes he asked her, "Kagome, do you want to be a hanyou?"
She smiled weakly at her mate, "Y... yeah, It might... be... fun," she said weakly, Inuyasha smiled back at her.
"You're gonna pull through this, when I tell you to push you know what to do, k?" He asked, she gave another weak smile and nodded. Keada put her ear to Kagome's belly and pulled back, giving Inuyasha a nod. "Are you ready?" He asked her and himself as well, they both nodded a bit at the same time, "Push," he whispered. Kagome pushed with all the might she had, the poison made the pain worse, she screamed. Inuyasha grasped his shoulder and screamed for a bit as well, she was going through so much pain. Inuyasha was covered in a cold sweat as he looked at Keada and she gave another nod, "Again," he whispered to his mate. Again she pushed, this time it was double the pain for both of them. Keada nodded and Inuyasha told Kagome to push again, she complied and this time the pain was triple, it was building up. Inuyasha howled this time and Kagome screamed even louder. This time crying was heard and Kagome fell unconscious as Keada wrapped the baby Inutaisho in the small cloth, she handed him to Inuyasha, who noticed that the bucket at the end of the bed had some blood in it. He chewed off a piece of his white undershirt and used it as a blind fold for the kid. Inuyasha then took a knife from one of the sick villagers and made a slit on his arm, the blood seeped down and he hissed; he hated getting cut. He got some of his blood into the cup before the blood clotted and the wound began its healing process. Inuyasha once again put his ear to her chest and he was barely able to hear the slight thump her heart made; he made her drink the blood and rubbed her throat, praying to the Gods this would work.
Inuyasha waited for a couple of minutes, he put his ear to her chest, her heart had stopped, he withdrew and stopped Keada as she tried to pick her up, "She's fine, give her some room," said Inuyasha. A few seconds after that statement and Kagome's locks seemed to be enveloped in silver, all the demon features came over her, the dog ears, the claws, and the fangs. She awoke gasping for air, the first things she noticed was that her senses were different, and that Inuyasha had pounced on her screaming, "Thank the Gods!!!!"
Kagome smiled, "I feel better already," she said as Inuyasha enveloped her in a bear hug, "It feels kind of foreign though, all my senses are super sharp."
Inuyasha pulled back and gave an arrogant smirk, that's when Kagome noticed who the hanyou was holding, he slowly transferred the baby to his mother and she smiled, "He's kawaii."
Inuyasha grinned, "Like me," he said proudly.
Kagome smacked him on the shoulder playfully, "Just because it's true doesn't mean you need to be stupid and brag about it."
Inuyasha blinked, confused, "Did you just compliment me and insult me in the same sentence?"
Kagome's new ears twitched, "Did I?"
Inuyasha shrugged, "Shit, I don't know, you're the one who said it so how should I know?"
"What do you mean how should you know, and besides, I barely even know what I said."
Inuyasha sweat dropped, "Don't worry Kagome; it happens more to me than it does to you."
Kagome sat up, "But... I can move without an effort after just minutes of... is that how powerful demon blood is?" Inuyasha grinned and nodded, "Well if I knew that I would have asked you to make me a hanyou earlier," she said playfully with a grin.
Inuyasha chuckled, "You know this is gonna be a problem with your gramps."
Kagome gasped, "And school, how am I gonna get through that after we defeat Naraku, I'm still in sophomore year, and I'll have to take summer school," she whined.
"I think I can answer that mom," came a voice from the door. The couple turned to see Inutaisho holding up a head band with an arrogant smirk.
Cloud: Ppl, please review, I mean, I decided to make Kagome a hanyou because I drew her as a hanyou and thought she looked so kawaii with those dog ears. It's a stupid reason I know, but I changed her good didn't I?
Cagri: You can shut up now
Cloud: Why should I?
Cagri: Because if you don't I'll never kiss you again
Cloud: Damn, ok, until next chap readers, bye!!!!!
Arigato,

Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted by a blood curdling scream, he grabbed his shoulder with a hiss, HIS Kagome was in pain. He quickly rushed out of the hut to find her scent melded with that of a demon's. Another scream and another sting of pain made him go even faster. As he found Kagome in the middle of his forest he gasped, a snake demon had poisoned her and took the Shikon no Tama from her, 'Crap, if Inutaisho hadn't run out this probably wouldn't be happening. Stop it Inuyasha, blaming this on others, especially your own son won't get you anywhere!' And with that last thought he drew the Tetsusaiga as the demon dropped Kagome to the ground.
The snake demon hissed, "Mmmmm, your little whore wasss quite tasssty."
Inuyasha snarled, "You fucker, you'll regret EVER touching her, and for hurting her I'll make sure to make your death extra painful!!!"
"You're a bit cocky for a missserable hanyou," slithered the snake, clearly the jewel resided inside of him as he had swallowed it.
Inuyasha glowered as the snake started to slither towards him, he knew how fast these things were; one minute they could be slithering slowly and the next they could snap without you even noticing.
'Remember dad, watch your enemy's movements and counter them with your own speed, since you're half and half you're far more powerful than any demon to roam this Earth; it may sound crazy to you but the thin blood down to the 1/16 is as good as you can get in the power and speed regiment.' Inutaisho's voice rang through his head. Inuyasha smirked as the demon struck at him, time seemed to slow down and he pulled the Tetsusaiga up, easily blocking the youkai's attack.
The snake jumped back and hissed, "What, but no one can sssee that attack, essspecially not a sssniveling half-breed who chossse hisss mate to a low human life form!"
Inuyasha smirked, he knew what he had to do, and the thing was he didn't even do it often considering he never really liked the whole counter-attack thing. This demon was powerful, and the wind scar alone could not penetrate its scaly skin, Inuyasha knew this just by looking at it. "I'm going to give you the privilege of going out with a bang, but I can't guarantee you it's not going to be painful." All Inuyasha had to do was wait until he used the Shikon shards to blast at him. He dodged fang bites and spit poison left and right with ease, often blowing the snake back with his Tetsusaiga. An energy aura started to form as the snake's mouth widened to expose its fangs emitting energy, 'It's about time the fuck-face got pissed enough to use the jewel shards on me.' Inuyasha got into a stance and gripped the Tetsusaiga tightly; the wind flowed around his sword like a constant reminder that he was one of the most powerful demons to walk the face of the Earth.
The huge energy ball rushed at Inuyasha with a great speed, but to the hanyou it was going as slow as a tortoise, he smirked, "Backlash wave!!!!" He yelled, always one to call out his attacks, as he hit the center of the ball with the wind scar and sent it riveting straight at the snake, which was immediately disintegrated. He ran to Kagome and put an ear to her chest, 'Shit, her heart is going too slow.' He quickly scooped up the shards with Kagome and ran back to the village as fast as his legs could carry him.
(A/N I would leave it there but hey, I'm not the evil cliffy type, so I'll just skip ahead a bit... what? Ok, a lot then.)
It had been a month and a half and still, Kagome showed no progress of healing, and Keada couldn't even give her the herbs she needed because she was impregnated. Inuyasha paced outside the hut, basically making a hole in the ground, she had been fighting the poison for this long, and that was a snake youkai; she was a powerful woman. "Master Inuyasha!" Said the annoying little voice from his shoulder.
Inuyasha turned to Myouga, who was sitting on his shoulder, "Where the fuck have you been you worthless little flea!!!!!!!!" Myouga flinched.
"Forgive me lord, but I was captured by demons."
"Where are Yusuke and the others?" Questioned the hanyou.
"They set up camp outside the village."
"Inuyasha," came Sango's voice behind him, the hanyou faced her, "She wants to see you now," she said sadly, walking over to Miroku and falling into his arms with tears running down her cheek. As the monk comforted her Inuyasha went inside and knelt down by Kagome's bed, there were gifts scattered about, most from the village.
"Kagome," he said softly, stroking her cheek softly with his hand, she was pale and cold, but still fighting.
"I... Inu... yahsa," he flinched as he heard her struggle just to talk, "I... I don't know what happened... it's all my fault, I shouldn't have wandered off."
Inuyasha sniffed and wiped his eyes, "No, Kagome, please don't talk like that."
"It... hurts," she said softly.
"But the poison is numb, what hurts?" He asked quickly, looking at her with a worried tone matching his face.
"It hurts," she repeated, Inuyasha looked down and noticed there was a big wet spot.
'Fuck!!' He tried to think quickly, but he couldn't just leave her, "Old hag, get your ass in here!!!!!!!" He grabbed her hand, "Kagome, I'm here, don't think about the pain."
Keada came rushing out and gasped when she saw the situation, "Inuyasha, ye need to stay at her side, I will return quickly," said Keada as she ran to her shed.
"Inuyasha... help me, I don't want it to be this way," she said, putting her full willpower behind each word.
Inuyasha shushed her, "Kagome, please don't talk, you know I'm here for you, you're gonna pull through this ok?" He reassured her, trying not to trip over his words as a foreign sting came and his eyes wet. Keada came in with a bucket and a thick cloth. A single tear streamed down the hanyou's face, "Tell me old hag, will she pull through?"
"Most likely, but ye will need to make a choice for your beloved," said Keada, putting the bucket on the end of the bed and throwing the cloth over her own shoulder, "There are two ways to save lady Kagome, but one is least likely than the other."
"Just tell me old hag, we don't have enough time to swerve into shit with dramatic words!!!"
Keada sighed and knelt down in front of Kagome, removing the blanket from her and preparing for everything as Kagome hissed and mumbled in pain, "Ye can give her herbs, which will probably be of no use at this stage, or ye can make her a hanyou."
"And how do I do that?!" Snapped Inuyasha, still holding onto Kagome's hand like a life line.
"Simple, she must drink ye blood."
Inuyasha sighed and turned back to Kagome, still with watery eyes he asked her, "Kagome, do you want to be a hanyou?"
She smiled weakly at her mate, "Y... yeah, It might... be... fun," she said weakly, Inuyasha smiled back at her.
"You're gonna pull through this, when I tell you to push you know what to do, k?" He asked, she gave another weak smile and nodded. Keada put her ear to Kagome's belly and pulled back, giving Inuyasha a nod. "Are you ready?" He asked her and himself as well, they both nodded a bit at the same time, "Push," he whispered. Kagome pushed with all the might she had, the poison made the pain worse, she screamed. Inuyasha grasped his shoulder and screamed for a bit as well, she was going through so much pain. Inuyasha was covered in a cold sweat as he looked at Keada and she gave another nod, "Again," he whispered to his mate. Again she pushed, this time it was double the pain for both of them. Keada nodded and Inuyasha told Kagome to push again, she complied and this time the pain was triple, it was building up. Inuyasha howled this time and Kagome screamed even louder. This time crying was heard and Kagome fell unconscious as Keada wrapped the baby Inutaisho in the small cloth, she handed him to Inuyasha, who noticed that the bucket at the end of the bed had some blood in it. He chewed off a piece of his white undershirt and used it as a blind fold for the kid. Inuyasha then took a knife from one of the sick villagers and made a slit on his arm, the blood seeped down and he hissed; he hated getting cut. He got some of his blood into the cup before the blood clotted and the wound began its healing process. Inuyasha once again put his ear to her chest and he was barely able to hear the slight thump her heart made; he made her drink the blood and rubbed her throat, praying to the Gods this would work.
Inuyasha waited for a couple of minutes, he put his ear to her chest, her heart had stopped, he withdrew and stopped Keada as she tried to pick her up, "She's fine, give her some room," said Inuyasha. A few seconds after that statement and Kagome's locks seemed to be enveloped in silver, all the demon features came over her, the dog ears, the claws, and the fangs. She awoke gasping for air, the first things she noticed was that her senses were different, and that Inuyasha had pounced on her screaming, "Thank the Gods!!!!"
Kagome smiled, "I feel better already," she said as Inuyasha enveloped her in a bear hug, "It feels kind of foreign though, all my senses are super sharp."
Inuyasha pulled back and gave an arrogant smirk, that's when Kagome noticed who the hanyou was holding, he slowly transferred the baby to his mother and she smiled, "He's kawaii."
Inuyasha grinned, "Like me," he said proudly.
Kagome smacked him on the shoulder playfully, "Just because it's true doesn't mean you need to be stupid and brag about it."
Inuyasha blinked, confused, "Did you just compliment me and insult me in the same sentence?"
Kagome's new ears twitched, "Did I?"
Inuyasha shrugged, "Shit, I don't know, you're the one who said it so how should I know?"
"What do you mean how should you know, and besides, I barely even know what I said."
Inuyasha sweat dropped, "Don't worry Kagome; it happens more to me than it does to you."
Kagome sat up, "But... I can move without an effort after just minutes of... is that how powerful demon blood is?" Inuyasha grinned and nodded, "Well if I knew that I would have asked you to make me a hanyou earlier," she said playfully with a grin.
Inuyasha chuckled, "You know this is gonna be a problem with your gramps."
Kagome gasped, "And school, how am I gonna get through that after we defeat Naraku, I'm still in sophomore year, and I'll have to take summer school," she whined.
"I think I can answer that mom," came a voice from the door. The couple turned to see Inutaisho holding up a head band with an arrogant smirk.
Cloud: Ppl, please review, I mean, I decided to make Kagome a hanyou because I drew her as a hanyou and thought she looked so kawaii with those dog ears. It's a stupid reason I know, but I changed her good didn't I?
Cagri: You can shut up now
Cloud: Why should I?
Cagri: Because if you don't I'll never kiss you again
Cloud: Damn, ok, until next chap readers, bye!!!!!
Arigato,
