Shinobi-chan:
This is such a wonderful story. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop.
You have a certain talent in your writing. I've read all three of your stories and every single one of them I cried. And that doesn't happen to me that often.
Great job on your stories. Do not let any of the flames get to you. I will continue reading your stories and will be adding you to my favorites
Haunt: Bwaha!! Thank you!! :D
Muse and Mage: Oh, goody, now you've made her kick us back into action...grawr...
Haunt: Shaddup and thank the nice person, muses.
Muse: ::grumble:: Thanks...
Mage: I'm sorry, I have to work on the angst...
Haunt: ::sigh:: They're always like this, don't worry about it :) Thank you!
ryoga-chan's heart:
I must say that I love this story. It is just fing awesome. what some of the other reviewers might not have thought about is that Inuyasha is a hanyou. Demon seed may develope faster hence symptoms from the very begining of pregnancy. So there. Keep up the good work!!
Haunt: Exactly! You've hit the nail on the head, friend. Hands over a cookie That explains my logic a bit better, ne?
Draechaeli:
That was good although in the last chapter I found it odd that Inu-Yasha didn't tell her straight out she was pregnant.
Na
Inuyasha: She would've gone nuts over it...
Zarbok:
Thank you for explaining that, I kinda thought that was what you were going for with the morning sickness but I was not positive and why was knid such an ass about it?(I hate flamers with a passion) I believe if you think an author made a mistake or you do not understand what they are getting at in thier stories you should point it out or ask why, not chew thier ass out.
You do not need to thank me for being civil, I just think you should always be civil in your reviews. I would like to apoligize for my language it's just how I am and if you want me to watch what my mouth in my reviews just say so.
It was a good update and the preview you provided makes me think that fic will be pretty damn good.
It took care of some questions I was going ask in this review about the lifespan of our couple.
To Inuyasha:Dont listen to Kagome draw Tetsusaiga and shove it up Knid's ass sideways!
Dont worry about Kagome's lifespan, when she passes on she may not be with you in body but she will be in spirit. Your no longer a baka in my eye (offers to shake his hand) but that may change so do not fuck up.
To Miroku: You better erk, and give me your staff lecher it has a date with knid's ass. So you got puked on heh you diserved it lecher
To Kagome:Let Inuyasha draw his sword!
Those were some good words you said to Inuyasha about you two's lifespan differences. What are ya gonna name your baby or babies (hell whith Inuyasha being a Hanyou you could have 2 or 3).
To Knid:Run bastard.
To surmize good update and good preview of your upcoming fic.
Signed
Zarbok
Haunt: Thankee, friend, and I don't mind your language...I get enough dirty words with this guy ::points at Inuyasha:: hanging around my muses.
Inuyasha: Hm. Good point. Now, then...::proceeds to stalk toward Knid:: Kehehe...
Miroku: This is against my religion, but...if I don't Haunt may kill me off...::hands over Seibai::
Kagome: Er...names? I don't have time to think about that...Mama's gonna kill me...
Rinicat:
Yippe...cries tears of joy...I can read it now...pounces on Haunt and gives oodles of hugs...I so happy...thank youthank youthank you...throws Kagome a bottle of Iron pills...
For the pregnancy...have to keep the red blood cells up...taking care of two...or is it three...just how many are you having? Looks to Inuyasha slightly you sniff that out?
Oh and Inuyasha...what can Kagome's Mom do to you? Um...you know how much you absolutely hate Kagome's tests? Now throw in Doctor's visits on top of that...means no more shard hunting...she whispers very softly as she hides behind Kagome and Haunt in fear...
Kagome: Ehe. Inuyasha..?
Inuyasha: I know she's pregnant. I can't tell how many there are. And the Shikon Jewel's gone...Kagome QUIT school...but DOCTOR'S visits? Hell no!
And thanks for the nice comments on my next story! It will be called The Choice.
And just so you all know...you're the reasons that I continue. Thank you, everyone! Without you TOM would probably be gone...Muse and Mage aren't liking it very much.
-.-.-
"You're what?!" Akina Higurashi exclaimed, gaping at the two sheepish forms from across the table.
The hanyou winced at the woman's tone. "Kagome's pregnant--didn't you hear her?" he grumbled.
Kagome's mother shot him a scathing look. "I heard her just fine! And Kagome, who is the father?!"
Inuyasha glanced at the girl beside him, who blushed an even deeper crimson and shifted in her chair. "Inuyasha is, Mama..."
"What? How could you do that to her?" Mrs. Higurashi rounded upon him now.
The inu-hanyou stiffened. "Do what?! I didn't know she'd get--"
"Why did you two have that in the first place? Why didn't you expect this to happen?"
"I...er..." Inuyasha clamped his mouth shut with a short click and averted his gaze. Why hadn't he expected this?
"Mama, we'll be fine." Kagome said, voice timid and smaller than he'd ever heard it.
"And how will you live? Does Inuyasha have any money?"
"Well, no..." the hanyou mumbled.
The girl squeezed his hand beneath the table. "Mama, we'll be living in the feudal era. We'll have Sango and Miroku to help us."
"Maybe so, but you're only seventeen! What about school?"
"I......dropped out, Mama-san."
"Dropping out?! Kagome, you can't!"
"Mama, Inuyasha will take care of me."
"And how will he do that? Kagome, you're far too young."
"Mama, please." The miko said stubbornly, but her mother interrupted her.
"No, Kagome. No. I won't make you have an abortion, but you simply can't be married and a mother at this age. You will have to give the baby up once it is born, to someone who is old enough to take care of it--"
"No!"
Inuyasha was on his feet, one hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga. He shook with barely contained rage, amber optics gleaming bright gold with hatred and a fury that no one had ever seen.
"You are not taking my pup away from Kagome!" the hanyou snarled, baring gleaming fangs at the woman who stared at him. "You are not taking Kagome or her pup away from me. I'll kill you."
He meant it.
The crackling energy of tension in the room was palpable. If he'd wanted, the hanyou could have sucked the hatred out of the air and used it for an extremely powerful Kongousouha attack.
And he would. In a fucking heartbeat.
If this woman made any move to harm Kagome--his Kagome--or the pup that had begun to form in his mate's womb, he would kill her.
"Inuyasha," Kagome said quietly, standing and placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "I think she understands."
Indeed, Mrs. Higurashi had leaned back and was currently rubbing her temples. Inuyasha slowly sat, but kept his hand on the fangblade...just in case.
Kagome settled back down beside him.
There was a moment of silence, then the woman looked up at them. "How long?"
"Huh?" The miko blinked.
"How long have you been pregnant?"
"About two days."
"Oh my...well then. We have lots of work to do, don't we?"
The hanyou and girl exchanged glances.
"I'm sorry I lost my temper. I won't make you give up the baby, kagome. And Inuyasha, as long as you are good to my daughter you both have my blessing and permission to be...a couple." Mrs. Higurashi offered a smile.
Koinu ears flicked, then the hanyou nodded once.
"Now, we'll have to find a doctor--"
"No doctors." Inuyasha growled.
"But you have to--"
"No doctors. She's having the pup in my time."
Kagome's mother opened her mouth to argue, then sighed and shook her head. "Okay, okay. You win. back and visit once a month, okay? And right after the baby's born, too."
"Keh. Fine. Is that all?" The hanyou began to rise, helping his mate up too.
Mrs. Higurashi stood. "I suppose, unless you two want a snack or something."
Inuyasha noticed a greenish tinge come over the miko's face and she shook her head abruptly. "Um, no, Mama..."
"Don't you want to take some ramen back for Inuyasha?"
Fluffy ears perked again. "Ramen?"
Kagome groaned, closed her eyes, then composed herself and nodded slightly. "I guess so..."
"And pocky for Shippo, I bought some for him." The girl's mother disappeared into the kitchen.
"Are you feeling alright, wench?" the hanyou asked gruffly, glancing at his mate.
The girl was clutching her stomach, looking distinctly ill. "N-no..."
When he raised his eyebrows, she mumbled, "The mention of food makes me want to hurl..."
"Not on me."
"Baka."
The dog-eared boy rolled his eyes and picked up her yellow bag as Akina tramped back into the room. In the older woman's arms were several cups of ramen noodles and three boxes of milk chocolate pocky.
She dumped the food into the sack and closed it, then smiled at both of them. "Again, I apologize for overreacting."
"Feh." Shouldering the yellow monstrosity, the hanyou slung the girl over his shoulder and stomped out of the shrine and into the wellhouse.
Setting Kagome down on unsteady feet, he glowered at her. "Get ready, wench. We're going through."
"Inuyasha..." the girl whimpered, clutching her stomach. "I'm gonna be sick."
"Well, at least wait until we get through, girl!" the inu-hanyou retorted, hooking an arm around her waist and leaping through.
The warm light of the time slip engulfed them both, transporting them backward to a darker, yet more familiar place in history.
Touching down on the soft earth of the well, the hanyou sprang to level ground and set his mate down.
Kagome groaned and doubled over, retching. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and rubbed the girl's back as she gagged twice, then finally released whatever was in her stomach. The greenish-brown goop settled on the grass, emitting a foul stench that made his nose tingle uncomfortably.
"Done?"
"You are so unsympathetic," the girl whined, straightening up. "Ugh, is there any water near here?"
Emitting a heavy sigh, the hanyou scooped her up again and bolted off in the direction of the nearest river.
-.-.-
Kagome knelt on the streambank, cupping water in her hands and sipping it. She swished it around in her mouth, ridding herself of the foul taste of bile, then spat it back out into the river.
"You're gonna kill the fish," her hanyou grumbled, sitting down behind her.
"Baka." the girl mumbled, glaring at him over her shoulder.
Inuyasha shrugged, feigning innocence. "Wench."
"Oh yeah? Well you're...still a baka." The miko wrinkled her nose, turning to face him, then giggled as he leaned forward and kissed her.
There was a moment of adoring quiet as their lips touched, then Inuyasha pulled back, turning his face away from her and spitting. "Your lips taste like puke."
Kagome giggled again. "Do they? They should, seeing as I just got sick."
"Keh. I can fucking tell."
The girl smiled, then sighed and leaned against his chest as he tugged her forward into his lap.
