I don't own Inu-Yasha
Chapter 2: The Jewel
Months passed by and Kagome had grown bigger. She was now eight months pregnant, and Inu-Yasha had become even more protective of her. "Inu-Yasha, I'm able to walk down stairs without your help." Kagome tried to tell him, but he just wouldn't listen. He picked her up and carried her down the stairs and sat her in a chair at the table.
"So, Kagome, you've been very busy lately. Have you had time to think of a name for the baby?" her mother asked her as she sat a plate in front of her daughter.
"A name? Inu-Yasha! We haven't picked out a name yet!" Kagome began to freak out.
"Kagome, calm down. There's plenty of time to think of a name for the baby." her mother assured her.
"You're right. I'm only eight months pregnant. I still have another month. Inu-Yasha..." Kagome turned to look at him, but he was gone. "Where did Inu-Yasha go?" Kagome asked her mother. But her mother was gone as well. "Mom, Inu-Yasha!" Kagome screamed for them, but they were nowhere to be found. "Where am I?" Kagome asked as she stood up. The room had grown dark, and cold.
"Hello, Kagome." Kikyou stepped forward and a ray of light surrounded her.
"Kikyou, what are you up to?" Kagome asked her.
"That child you carry should have been mine." Kikyou told her.
"What do you plan on doing?" Kagome asked her as she backed away from Kikyou.
"I will kill that child!" Kikyou yelled as she lunged at Kagome with a knife in her hand.
"No!" Kagome screamed and turned away from Kikyou, but there was no where for her to go, she was backed against a wall. But when nothing happened, Kagome was shocked. She opened her eyes and saw Kikyou lying on the ground, and the jewel Sesshomaru had given her was glowing. "Did this jewel protect me from Kikyou?" Kagome thought as she looked at it.
When Kagome opened her eyes again, she saw Inu-Yasha staring down at her. "Inu-Yasha?" Kagome couldn't believe it. She tried to sit up, but he wouldn't let her.
"You need to rest." he told her.
"What happened?"
"We were downstairs eating breakfast and you fainted. The doctor came to look at you and said that all you needed was to rest." he explained. Kagome reached down and grabbed the jewel Sesshomaru had given her, making sure it was still there. "What's that?" Inu-Yasha asked her.
