Me- Wow! I think you are doing a great job on the story. Although it would make Sesshy and I really happy if you put him in there!

Sesshoumaru- Poofs Devin what on are you talking about? Why would I want to be in this story?

Me- Hey Sh! You're not supposed to use my real name. Pokes him

Sesshoumaru- and why are you reading an InuYasha love story?

Me- Well. . . .it's cute looks up at him

Sesshoumaru- fine just don't read to much shit Poofs

Me- sigh Well maybe Sesshy doesn't want to be in your story, but I'd like it if you put him in smiles

Koga- runs into the room What ya up to Devin?

Me- Oh nothing! Covers up the computer screen but keep up the good work! Thanks bye! Waves

Koga- no really what are you up to. . . . .

Haunt: Tehehe. XD Thanks!

Orion Kohaishu:

After reading all the offensive reviews you got, I decided to add one of my own:

BITCH!! HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME THAT YOU HAD TWO NEW STORIES?? I'M A FREAKEN DUMB BLONDE, I CAN'T FIND THEM ON MY OWN!! Here I was, all alone, crying, STARVED for good Inuyasha fanfics, and you were witholding this amazing piece! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!! Breaks down crying I thought what we had was real! But then I find you hiding these from me. It's over. AND I'M KEEPING THE FLUFF!! Huggles Sesshy's fluff protectively

Naah, I'm just teasing. . Which you knew. I love the story though!! LOVE! It's great and well written. I tell ya though, when Kagome admitted that she loved Inuyasha, I squealed happily. XD So yeah, I'm gonna go read your other new fic. Much luv and keep writing!

Orion (Who is crazy, yesh.)

PS: I may love you again, but I'm STILL keeping the fluff. .

Haunt: How could I tell you if you never updated WWCHB or ATSSOY? XD

Kagome: I made you squeal?

Inuyasha: Is this creature even human?

Marsha a.k.a. Inuyasha:

pretty cool chappie can't wait 4 da rest

Haunt: Thank you!

shampoo:

nihao! shampoo starting read your story and is already very addicted much many more than few shampoo seen! ok enuff wit the shampoo act from ranma...but this story ROX! I LUV IT!im already addicted to it
ja ne!

Haunt: EEEEE Ranma! Bwaha. Anyway, you reviewed eleven times and I loved every one of them. Thanks!

Terrasina Dragonwagon:

Oh it works now yay!

Hehehe. Inuyasha keeps gettin' osuwari-ed. I'm just glad Kouga was in this chapter. I like Kouga. Don't worry, Inuyasha, I like you more. patpats the inuhanyou

Koga: Hah! I have fans, ass!

Inuyasha:......::growls::

InuLvr4eva:

good story, and very funny. Sometimes when Inu Yasha says annoying things about Kagome being morning sick she just says baka, but if i was her, i would just tell him to shut up and smack him... lol

Kagome: Maybe I should smack him...hmmm...

Zarbok:

So the ookami has taken a mate.

Writer's block sucks ass, I have long been retired from writing and all my fics were lost in some kind of hiccup in the fanfic server, but I kno how it is.

To Inuyasha:Kill the ookami, kill the ookami,KILL THE FUCKING OOKAMI!
If I was you I would turn him into a ookami skin rug. I'll do you one better you kill him and I'll skin, stretch, tan, and sew his hide into a nice rug(sharpens knife). I am not going to raise your baka rateing for just tring to defend your mate.

To Kagome:I have noticed something, you always take the damn ookami's side over Inuyasha, think about it, YOUR FUCKING MATES, even after the ookami makes vulger comments about you and Inuyasha, you still sit Inuyasha for trying to defend his and your dignity. I do not kno what is going throu your head, I kno it has got something to do with your "ahem" condition(snicker) but I have a feeling you would've done the same fucking thing if you didn't have a bundle of joy on the way, I must repeat myself your mates! I think you need to start seeing it from your mate's point of view, he sees someone both insulting and touching his love without her permission and tries to stop it.

To surmize this was a nice update and I hope you get over your writer's block.

Signed
Zarbok

Inuyasha: At least SOMEONE understands...

Kagome:.....meep.

Haunt: The servers burped on your fics, eh? Meow. My muses don't like this story anymore.

Moon Baby2:

giggles
Kagoma: Wait to go girl. Your "mood swings" are wonderful. I'm glad to see that Koga got over you. Don't worry about Inuyasha being so over protective about you. He just loves you very much and wants to keep you safe.
Inuyasha: Serves you right. You deserved all thoses sits. You can't keep treating Kagoma like that. Plus, you must also realize that her heart is yours and Koga never has and never will mean anyhting to her. You should also tell her you love her once and a while. She is having your pup. That has got to mean something to you.
Haunt: Short and sweet. That is wonderful. You gave Koga closerure so he can leave Kagoma alone. He is a butt anyway.

Kagome: Hm. True.

Inuyasha: Of course it fucking means something to me. I just don't want that damn wolf touching her.

Haunt: Yep, tied that tube up. Now he has no reason to come back.

Roki:

Okey Inuyasha, now your SURELY going to get it!
Alright, I had some patience with you in the last chappie, you called Kagome wench and stuff. I thought, that's just who you are. BUT NOW I'M SO FCKING ANGRY WITH YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT MUST BE FOR KAGOME TO CARRY YOUR PUP!!? MOOD SWINGS, MORNING SICKNESS, STOMACH HURT ETC.
AND YOU STILL CALL HER WENCH! DAMN BAKA!

Okay timeout... takes deep breaths
I really hope that you get rid of that writers block Haunt! And I agree, I don't like Sess/Kag fic's either. Because that is so totally OOC and,... Gross...

Well hope you update soon! And Inuyasha, If I could use the 'S'/'O' word right now, well let's just say YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!
/Roki

Inuyasha: Erp.

Haunt: Eeeexactly. Sess/Kag is bad. Secchan hates humans, thankyewvurrymuch.

Milly-Chan:

I read chapters 1-11 in like...2 hours. Very nice!
Inuyasha: so protective.. if Kougas got Ayame now, why would you suspect hed still do something to Kagome.
I always enjoy Inuyasha getting 'sat'

Inuyasha: Habit, I guess.

SilverShadowKitsune:

This is good. Sorry is this doesn't seem like a good review, but I'm new to all of this. I really like it though! Question: If the story is rated R, why didn't you include more...what's the word?...detail?

Haunt: Because the FFnet moddy people scare me. XD

Rinicat:

Looks a little insulted...like I would give Kagome poison? I happy to like both her and you, you pinhead! Comes out from behind Kagome and Haunt majorly annoyed. I just wanted to help I am the oldest of five kids...grumbles. I do know about children...

Kagome...can I please beat him up...please...he was mean to me and I just wanted to help you...

Kagome: My stomach hurts...

Inuyasha: Stop. Talking.

Haunt: ::Skips around:: Guess what's gonna happen in this chapteeeeer...

Miko Kagome Archer:

awesome. Kouga... He's hopeless. InuYasha is really horny isn't he? lol Kouga is horny to... in all the fics I read he's like "Lets fuck.""Lets fuck now" Great chappie anyway. When will InuYasha learn your not supose to mess with a pregnant lady. Sorry for my spelling mistakes. I can't spell worth shit.

Inuyasha and Koga: ::sputter::

WaKoWiThNoLiFe:

This is an awesome story!! I love so much!! I really hope that you get off your writers block, I've had sevrel . and I hope that you will write futher chapters

Haunt: XD Thank you!

your-living-nightmare:

It's so g00d!! I love how you have pulled the characters together for your plot-line and such, which by the way, your plot-line is AWSOME!!

Inuyasha: Your so sweet to Kagome! I know that you too will be together for a life time and beyond! And now you should have no real reason to get riled up over Koga cause he has found him a mate! You should at least be pleased with that. Maybe even get to the point of wishing him and his mate luck? Who knows...

Kagome: Ok..5 months have passed you must know what your going to name your pup by now cause I wanna know! D

Ayame: You go girl! Show that wolf deamon who's boss. . hehe

Anyways, keep up the awsome work Haunt 'cause I can't wait to read the rest!

Your-Living-Nightmare

Inuyasha: ::blush::

Kagome: We don't know what to name a girl...maybe Ginke...but a boy will be Yuuki.

Ayame: Oh, look! My first review...appearance! I have to keep Koga in line, now, don't I?


And guys? The Choice is up. PLEASE read and review; I won't update unless I know people are reading!

-.-.-

"Hah!"

A familiar adrenaline rush followed the swing of the hanyou's claws. The ogre demon screeched and leapt backward as the half-inu's talons pierced its stomach.

Inuyasha landed lightly on the ground, glaring at the fifty-foot-tall beast with an amused smirk. "Come on, is that all you've got?!"

The creature glowered at him. Its optics were pupilless crimson, fangs curling over its bottom lip like sabers. Leathery skin was tinged dark black, and yellowing horns curled above the demon's head.

"Be careful, Inuyasha!" Koinu ears twitched as his mate yelled to him.

The inu-hanyou glanced backward at the girl. Her stomach had swollen beyond comparison, a standing tribute to the long nine months that she had endured.

The unnerving thing was that she was due any day now.

Inuyasha's gaze snapped back to the ogre as it lunged at him, lumbering awkwardly and swinging its chipped claws at the boy. A pain erupted in his chest as the razors pierced; he sprang backward, curling his lip to reveal gleaming fangs.

"I've had just about enough of you..." the hanyou growled, unsheathing Tetsusaiga. The fangblade erupted with light as he swung it in a wide arc and shouted, "Kzae no Kizu!!"

Six streaks of powerful golden energy cut the ground, hitting the beast hard. It let out a shocked bellow before the power of Tetsusaiga reduced it to dust on the wind.

The hanyou sheathed the sword and turned, trotting back to his mate and hoisting her onto his back. To him, the girl wasn't much heavier, but she had been prone to falling over lately because of the extra bulk she carried around.

"You don't have to carry me," Kagome insisted as he set off at a lazy trot toward the village.

"Yes, I do," the hanyou replied nonchalantly. "Otherwise, you'll fall over."

"I will not!"

"Don't sit me," Inuyasha warned, hearing the tell-tale tone of the miko's voice. "I'll just drag you down too."

"Inuyasha no baka."

"Yeah, yeah. Quit talking, wench."

"Don't call me wench!"

"At least I don't call you bitch anymore. Be grateful, koishii."

"Now, koishii is better. I like it when you call me 'beloved.'"

Inuyasha smirked in response and the girl finally fell silent.

They stepped into the small town, and he set his mate down on unsteady feet. One hand on her shoulder for support, the hanyou led Kagome into the midst of the huts and people, searching for the taijiya.

A red-haired blur careened into Inuyasha, screeching, "Kagome! Inuyasha!"

"Shippo-chan!" Kagome said happily, scooping the kitsune up from where he clung to the dog-eared boy's fire-nezumi haori. "How'd you know we were here?"

"I smelled you!" The boy replied proudly. He was getting older now; couldn't have been younger than six years old as far as maturity went. In demon years Inuyasha figured the child was around fifteen.

"Did you?" the miko replied, a bright smile touching her lips. "That's wonderful, Shippo-chan. Where is Sango-chan?"

Shippo pointed toward the center of the village. "She's over there, with Miroku and Donguri."

"Come on then, Kagome," the hanyou said, leading his mate through the people by her elbow. "Let's go see the lecher, his mate and his pup."

Sango had recently given birth herself, to a beautiful little girl named Donguri, or 'acorn.' The pup was still hardly an infant, eyes a violet like her father's and hair a deep chocolate brown, much like Sango's.

They came upon the taijiya and houshi and their child. The pup sat in her father's lap, staring around interestedly as her parents argued about something.

Sango stopped talking to her mate as hanyou and miko approached. "Hello, Kagome-chan!"

Inuyasha let go of Kagome's elbow as she hurried forward. "Sango-chan! How is Donguri-chan?"

"She's fine! And how is baby?" The taijiya replied, nodding to the girl's swollen abdomen.

Kagome rested her hands on her stomach and grinned. "Fine, Sango-chan. Just fine."

Shippo leapt down from the miko's shoulder and scampered over to Miroku, hoisting himself up onto the monk's knee and grinning at the baby. "Hiya, Donguri!"

"Not so loudly, Shippo. She's trying to sleep." the houshi said quietly.

Indeed, the pup's eyes had begun to drift closed before the kitsune had barked at her. Now Donguri jerked awake, staring at the kit with almost comical fear.

Inuyasha snickered. "Never thought I'd see you so domestic, lecher."

"You wait until Kagome delivers. Then we'll see who's domestic." Miroku replied, glancing at the hanyou.

Speak of the...pup?

The hanyou noticed a subtle shift in the girl's scent and saw her stiffen. Looking to his mate, Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "Kagome..?"

"What's wrong, Kagome-chan?" the taijiya queried worriedly. The houshi began to stand, holding Donguri against his shoulder while Shippo balanced on his head.

"Do I need to get Kaede?" the monk asked, violet eyes trained on the miko.

Kagome suddenly winced slightly and glanced at her mate. Inuyasha was startled to see that her azure orbs were wide, glowing with something between fear and exhilaration. "Inuyasha...I think...it's time."

"What?!" The group exclaimed in unison.

-.-.-

"Dammit, what the hell is taking so long?!" the hanyou snarled. He was pacing up and down in front of Kaede's hut.

He could smell the girl's blood, hear her cries, sense her pain, and all of it made him sick and desperate. But the hanyou wasn't allowed in; the group had decided that they should keep him out because they knew how he would react.

Inuyasha couldn't really say that they had been wrong. He knew that he would've ripped the place apart had he been allowed in there. But still...

"Calm down, Inuyasha," Miroku said placatingly, still holding Donguri in his lap. He was sitting near the door of the hut, stoic and calm. Shippo sat beside him, huge emerald orbs trained on the doorway.

"D'you think she'll be alright?" the runt asked in a small voice.

The hanyou rounded upon the kit, fury and frustration reaching a fever pitch. "Of course she will be, dammit!"

Shippo looked startled, but stayed silent.

Koinu ears suddenly twitched and Inuyasha's head snapped up as an entirely different cry reached him. It was shrill and forbidding, but held all the hope of a living creature that was struggling to survive from its very first breath.

My pup...

Emitting an enraged snarl, the hanyou threw himself at the door of the hut, slashing at the ofudas that bound it closed. "Let--me--in!"

The scrolls gave way beneath his claws, shriveling and turning to ash, and he slammed hard against the wood. The door splintered and fell inward with a CRASH!

The old miko walked calmly past him, as if nothing had happened. "You have overreacted again, Inuyasha."

The taijiya was next to exit. The scent of tears was dense on the woman; his glance made her smile and shake her head. "Go on in. No one will disturb you."

The slayer and the old miko ushered the 'audience' away.

Once the lot were out of earshot, Inuyasha stepped into the hut. The scent of blood was still thick in the air, but it was followed closely by a new, sweeter scent.

The hanyou managed a watery smile and dropped to the floor beside his mate. "K-Kagome..."

She smiled at him tiredly. Her hair was straggly and sweaty-looking, and he could tell she needed and wanted a bath, but other than that she seemed fine and there was an altogether different glow in her cerulean optics. "Inuyasha...look."

The girl bobbed her head toward the tiny creature in her arms. This was what the scent was emanating off of; the new, fresh scent. Everything about the pup was tiny, from the crumpled, black-furred ears in its head to the curled, clawed fists. Inuyasha touched his claw to the baby's cheek; it gave a tiny jump and opened its eyes.

They were cat-slitted, like his, but a beautiful blue hue like Kagome's. The hanyou leaned closer to the baby, then gently pulled the fabric that covered its lower body away.

Uttering a soft, choked sound, Inuyasha's grin widened. "A boy?"

The baby yawned in response and snuggled closer to his mother, eyes slipping closed again. Short, matted black hair was downy on the baby's head, and the hanyou brushed it out of his pup's face.

Kagome kissed her mate's forehead. "Yes, a boy. Yuuki, right?"

Swallowing, the inu-eared boy nodded once. "Yeah...'Courage.'"

"Beautiful, isn't he?" the girl whispered, resting her head on the hanyou's shoulder.

Inuyasha nodded, resting his chin on his mate's head. "Yeah. Beautiful." Just like you.
