Review Responses: Wow, you people really like this story don't you?
Icedragon012990, Aelli Flame, IYWriterGirl: Glad you guys enjoyed the last chapter, here's the next one.
Dumber then a Moogle ass: You can't wait till the little bundle of joy arrives? Well, you don't have to! As for Mrs. Higurashi, remember in the feudal times, they married young! I will be working on a sequel after I get things in this story to a certain point, i.e. all the couples are married and have at least one kid. And there is some cuteness fluff in this chapter!
Lynn-Minmay: Yes, I like putting the characters in funny situations, especially Mirouku and Inuyasha!
OsuwariTetsusaiga: Yes, donuts and pizza can make me hyper to!
Kouji Ishida: You'll find out what Shippo's present is this chapter!
Sword Master Jeff: I'll try to get around to reading your story, but I am a senior and sometimes I have a huge workload from School.
Story Weaver1: What can I say, I'm 18 years old and sometimes my hormones influence my writing. But I don't do lemons! Shippo will be paired off in the sequel to this story, when I right it. For now he's the cute little kid he's always been.

One month later, feudal era
Kagome sighed as she sat on the porch of Inuyasha's and her house. Shippo was excited about his birthday occurring in a few days and Inuyasha had told her that he was going to get a present for Shippo when he left that morning. A slight jingling alerted the hanyou miko to the approach of Sango and Mirouku. The monk had a goofy grin on his face lately since Sango told him she was pregnant. Kagome grinned as Kilala ran ahead of her friends to jump into the hanyou's lap with a happy "Mew!" before licking Kagome's chin. Kagome stroked the little fire cat and blinked as a difference in Kilala's scent struck her. As Sango and Mirouku reached the porch with Shippo hitching a ride on Mirouku's shoulder, Kagome looked up at her friends with wide eyes. "I think Kilala is pregnant also!" she exclaimed. Mirouku and Sango were so surprised by this that their jaws hit the ground. Shippo giggled at the sight and jumped down from Mirouku's shoulder to start petting Kilala. The fire cat purred from the kitsune's petting and jumped out of Kagome's lap to play tag with Shippo. The adults soon recovered and sat around talking of their journey to complete the jewel.
Inuyasha's Forest
Inuyasha ran through the forest that bore his name, the short thin bundle on his back securely tied down ::Don't want to lose Shippo's present:: he thought. As he exited his forest, Inuyasha slowed down and stopped for a drink from a canteen Kagome had given him. He was amazed at how the magic container kept cold spring water nice and chilly even though Kagome had told him it wasn't magic. Inuyasha kept his pace to an easy walk as he passed through the fields surrounding Kaede's village and nodded to the villagers who either called or waved a greeting to him or bowed down as he passed. Because of his protecting them so often from youkai attacks, the villagers sometimes treated Inuyasha like a lord, which got annoying after a very short time. As he neared his house, Inuyasha's ears twitched as he head Shippo laughing as he played with Kilala. The hanyou grinned as he caught sight of his mate and their friends enjoying themselves.
Shippo caught Inuyasha's scent and abandoned chasing Kilala to run and leap into Inuyasha's arms yelling, "Dadimsogladyourebackguesswhatkilalaispregnat!" Inuyasha hugged Shippo and ruffled the kitsune's hair as he said, "Could you please repeat that slowly son?" Shippo grinned and said, "Dad, I'm so glad you're back! Guess what? Kilala is pregnant!" Inuyasha blinked and set Shippo on the ground before kneeling in front of Kilala. "Looks like all the girls but Rin are or have been pregnant," he said as he scratched the fire cat's head. Kouga had brought word that Ayame was pregnant also and due in six months. "Speaking of Rin, I saw my brother on my trip back here. He'll be bringing Rin to your party in two days," said Inuyasha. Shippo grinned at the though of playing with Rin before asking, "What's that on your back?" "Oh, nothing, just some arrows for you mother," replied Inuyasha. "Race you to the house!" yelled Shippo before running off. Inuyasha chased after and passed Shippo and was surprised to find Shippo catching up to him, even though the hanyou was running as fast as he could. The race between the two ended in a tie!
Kagome giggled at the surprised look on her mate's face that Shippo was as fast as him. She slowly stood up to welcome Inuyasha back when a sudden muscle spasm hit her body. Kagome gasped and would have fallen if Inuyasha hadn't lunged forward to catch her. "What's wrong?" demanded Inuyasha. Before Kagome could answer, another spasm hit her. "Inu...yasha...urg...I...think...agh...it's...ugh...time!" groaned Kagome as more spasms hit her. Inuyasha's eyes widened and he rushed Kagome into the house. "Mirouku, take Shippo on Kilala to get Kaede! Sango, help me make Kagome comfortable!" snapped Inuyasha. As the monk and kitsune rushed off on Kilala, Sango soaked a cloth in water and placed it on Kagome's head. "Inuyasha?" moaned Kagome. "I'm here Koibito," said Inuyasha as he squeezed her hand. "Kagome, take nice deep breaths," said Sango as she removed Kagome's outer haori and miko pants. Kagome did as instructed then screamed as another contraction hit. Her grip on Inuyasha's hand tightened and he though she would either break his hand or skewer it with her claws.
Kaede entered the house and quickly took in the situation. "Mirouku and Shippo, yee must wait outside else Inuyasha's instincts could have him attack thee. Sango, keep replacing that cloth on Kagome's head but add these herbs to the water." Sango did as instructed, and as she replaced the cloth a wave of relief spread through out Kagome's body from her head to her toes. "Arigato...Sango...Kaede..." she gasped before screaming from another contraction and yelling, "Inuyasha, this is all your fault! SIT!" *WHAM* Inuyasha kissed the floor, thankful he had carpeted the bedroom in soft thick fur. Kagome kept sitting her mate every time a contraction hit and Inuyasha barely managed to flip himself on to his back so he could breathe. Both hanyous were extremely glad when Kaede straightened up and said, "Yee two have a healthy baby girl!"
Sango took the newborn little girl and gently rubbed her dry before passing the softly whimpering pup to Kagome. Kagome held her daughter so she could nurse, taking in the puppy ears that were already covered with black fuzz, the quickly growing black hair that was covering the girl's head except for a streak of silver in the center of her forehead, and the small fluffy black tail with a white tip. Golden eyes opened for the first time to stare into Kagome's eyes and Kagome gently nuzzled her pup. "She smells like pine trees and lavender," said Kagome as she smiled at her mate. Inuyasha leaned over to look at his daughter before planting a kiss on Kagome's forehead. "She's got your beauty koibito," he said with a smile. He then winced as the little girl grabbed his finger and bit down hard. "And she's got my teeth and strength," he whimpered as he tried to make his daughter release him, which took about five minutes. As Inuyasha wrapped a bandage around his mangled finger, Sango asked, "What are you going to name her?" "How about Kimiko?" suggested Kagome. "Kimiko, I like it," said Inuyasha as he gently took Kimiko into his arms and carried her outside. Mirouku and Shippo both were delighted to see the adorable little hanyou girl and Kimiko was happy to see them to. After returning Kimiko to Kagome, Inuyasha dragged Mirouku out of hearing range of the others and growled, "Bouzo, if you do any hentai stuff to my daughter or fill her mind with hentai thought, I will make sure I kill you real slowly and painfully to spare you what Kagome will do." Mirouku paled and nodded, his heart beat racing at the though of an angry hanyou mother out for his blood.
~~~~~~~~~~
Two days later, Kagome was awakened by Kimiko's soft crying from hunger. Kagome quietly slipped out of Inuyasha's and her bed and walked over to Kimiko's crib to nurse her daughter. Kimiko's adorable puppy ears twitched softly as Kagome sang, "Love you for ever, like your for always, as long as your living, my baby you'll be," to her daughter, Kimiko listened to her mother's song and slowly fell back to sleep. Kagome smiled and tucked her daughter back into her crib before snuggling back into bed with Inuyasha.
~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha was awakened a few hours later by the sound of Shippo softly chanting, "Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!" in his room. Inuyasha grinned and kissed Kagome to wake her up before unwrapping her tail from it's strangle hold on his body. Inuyasha quickly got dressed before checking on Kimiko, who was still fast asleep. Kagome sat up with a loud yawn and stretched before getting dressed and entering the kitchen to start cooking breakfast.
Shippo ran into the kitchen and flung himself on Inuyasha for a morning hug. The young kitsune then transformed into his pink floating form to above his sister. Kimiko awoke at that moment and laughed at the sight of Shippo. The little fox poofed back to his normal form and started making silly faces to amuse his sister. Inuyasha soon came in and scooped Kimiko up and held her while Shippo jumped to his shoulder. As they entered the kitchen, all three smelled the scent of Ramen. Kimiko started squirming to go for the delicious noodles while Kagome laughed. "Looks like my pup has good taste," said Inuyasha with a smirk.
Breakfast went by quickly with Kimiko devouring small bites of ramen her mother spooned into her mouth as well as some baby food from Kagome's time. Mirouku, Sango, Kohaku, and Kilala entered the house half an hour after breakfast was finished. Kimiko was fascinated with Kilala, whom she hadn't seen before, gently petting the small neko youkai as she sat in her father's lap. Kilala purred with enjoyment, leaning into Kimiko's caresses before climbing into her lap. A knock on the door a short time later turned out to be Kaede, Sesshomaru, and Rin. Rin and Sesshomaru were delighted to meet Kimiko, who was a little bit scared of them, hiding her face behind Inuyasha's sleeve. Sesshomaru eventually managed to coax Kimiko out of hiding by dangling his giant fluffy tail in the air. Kimiko was attracted to the giant mass of fluff and lunged for it. Sesshomaru let out a yell as Kimiko chomped down on her uncle's tail. It took Sesshomaru less than a minute to get Kimiko off his tail since Rin simply tickled Kimiko until she let go.
"If she's anything like you were as a pup, Inuyasha, you're going to have a hard time raising her," said Sesshomaru with a grin. "You hated baths and our father was the only one fast enough to catch you so your mother could force you to take one." Kagome laughed at her mate's blush and suggested they move on to the gifts. Sesshomaru and Rin had brought Shippo a book of kitsune lore and magic from Sesshomaru's private library. Mirouku and the two Taijiya gave him an outfit of fire cat fur that was as a strong as Inuyasha's fire rat one. Kaede's gift was a set of pendants that would allow Shippo and his family to communicate with each other. Last of all, Inuyasha and Kagome presented Shippo with the bundle Inuyasha had brought home the day Kimiko was born. Shippo eagerly unwrapped the covers to find a brand new katana just the right size for him. "I had Toto-sai forge this from a fire dragon's fang," said Inuyasha, "You can infuse the blade with your foxfire to form a blade of flame. The sword will also grow with you each year as you get bigger." Shippo stared at the katana wide eyed before tackling his parents and saying, "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" repeatedly as he unintentionally strangled them while their friends and family laughed at the happy moment.
