Only They Know: Of Shards and Children
By Gabreilla Moushigo (aka Aeki Muffinhands)
It had been about a week since they set out for Kouga's from the old Innkeeper's house, it took quite a while on foot. They were in no rush though, and letting Inu-Yasha and Kirara rest a little from flying and running was only fair.
The group took special note of the volume of wolves that kept increasing as they came nearer to Kouga's den. While they growled incessantly at the rest of the group – they paid special attention to Kagome, giving her hands kisses and she in turn pat their silky fur. They finally stopped at the waterfall, some of Kouga's followers were already outside, greeting her.
"Kouga!" They called, "Sister Kagome is here."
Moving faster than usual, Kouga was down the mountain and was next to Kagome in an instant. "Hello my woman." He took her hands in his, as was his usual fashion.
Inu-Yasha intervened as always, pulling her away from the mangy wolf and behind his back. "Why don't you keep your hands to yourself?!"
"Why don't you stop touching my woman dog turd?!"
"Can't we all just get along?" Ginta asked.
"NO!" The two answered.
"Please!" Kagome pleaded. "We really need to talk Kouga-kun."
Kouga instantly brightened, although he kept giving Inu-Yasha warning glares. "Of course, Kagome… anything for you." He purred. A vein appeared on Inu-Yasha's forehead.
"Kouga-kun," This time Kagome took his hands, to the surprise of everyone present. "I know that you think you can keep your shards… and I want nothing more than to let you keep them..."
"But the Goraishi-" Kouga began.
"They cannot save you." Kagome finished. "They are a very powerful weapon Kouga-kun… but I fear for your safety. I don't want Naraku to hurt you before we can complete the jewel." She fretted. "There are only three shards left."
Sango thought on that. 'Three left… two for Kouga and one for Kohaku…'
"Please." Kagome beseeched. "Kouga-kun?"
"You are right," Kouga looked away, but his hands tightened on Kagome's. "The sooner this is over… the sooner we will be together eh?"
Kagome didn't answer but just smiled at him, knowing that he would do it for her. "Thank you."
"You know that I cannot deny you." Kouga gave her a quick peck on the cheek, much to everyone's horror. Kagome just took it though, and gave him a peck of her own. Inu-Yasha was too shocked to talk, much less move.
The wolf prince blushed a little, letting go of her hands. "Here you are." He leaned down, scratching the shards out of his legs, handing them to her. "You keep these safe," He pressed her hands around them. "And keep yourself safe." He frowned. "Dog breath better not let anything happen to you." He growled.
"Don't worry, he won't."
"You better be off now, lots of things to do I expect." He mentioned. "Tell me, how did you do on your… X… am… in…nations?"
"Oh! I did very well on the last ones! I couldn't believe it since math is my worst subject."
"Good, good." He replied. "That is my smart woman."
"Thank you again Kouga-kun, I won't forget this."
"I expect you won't." He said sneakily. "Good-bye my woman."
He let go of her hands finally, and the group began their journey home.
"K-Kagome!" Inu-Yasha bellowed. "What in the hell was that?!"
"What are you talking about Inu-Yasha?" Kagome gave him a weird look.
"Are you actually going to…" He gaped. "Mate with that moron?!" He growled. "Have you already?!" He began sniffing her like crazy.
"Inu-Yasha! Sit boy!" He crashed to the ground, she realized that she hadn't had to say that in quite a while. "Stop sniffing me like that… and NO I haven't "mated" with him."
"My, my!" Kago-chan fanned herself. "Do you like Kouga-kun?" She teased. "Of course I always thought he was attractive but I never admitted it to anyone."
"K-Kagome!" Miro-sama complained.
"What?" She huffed. "Just because I married you doesn't mean that I went blind!" Then she added. "I know you surely didn't you big damn lecher!"
"I thought we were supposed to forget about that?!" Miro-sama yelled back.
"Well it's kind of hard to forget when your husband has this unhealthy fascination with other women's asses! I thought you said that you liked mine the best!?"
"I do!" He screamed. "You just never gave me a chance to explain- I!"
"Save it for an idiot Miroku... SAMA!" Kago-chan poked him in the chest.
"Ummm… guys?" Sango asked, a sweat drop appearing on her face.
"Oh!" Kago-chan flushed. "Oops! Sorry, didn't mean to involve everyone in our arguments… heh heh… ohhh."
"I must apologize too." Miro-sama actually had the courtesy to blush.
"Well," Inu-Yasha huffed. "Before we were so rudely interrupted…" He turned to Kagome. "You slept with him didn't you?"
"SIT!!!!" SMASH!!! "Your nothing but an idiot! What gave you the impression that I slept with him anyway?!"
"All those looks!" He grumbled, his face ground into the dirt. "And…" He lifted his head a little. "That kiss… and… THAT KISS!" He repeated stupidly. "And how in the hell does he know about your examinations ANYWAY?!"
"Because you moron he actually asked me about them and actually cares about me!" Kagome wailed, making his ears flatten painfully to his head. "Unlike you who could care less!"
"So when did he ask about them?" Inu-Yasha prodded. "I've never heard him ask you when I was around…"
"He doesn't always visit me while you're around, y'know?" She said irritably.
"What does that mean?"! Inu-Yasha screamed, standing up. "You mean he visits you when I'm not there to protect you?!"
"Just because he is a wolf demon doesn't mean he has to act like a wolf you know?!" She yelled, poking his chest a little harder. "He's my friend, he is concerned with me and sometimes we like to talk without you running around and screaming like a lunatic!"
"He's not just after talking Kagome… he is-"
"Sit!" CRASH! "I've had enough out of you!" Kagome stomped her foot. "I understand your concern Inu-Yasha… but please… me and Kouga…" She shivered. "Ugh, we're just friends."
Inu-Yasha grumbled in defeat. "If you say so…"
"I say so." She said, her voice softening a little.
"Let's get back to Kaede's, you need to go and take more tests don't you?"
"Oh!" Kagome's eyes lit up, "Your right! I've got that big trigonometry test on Tuesday and then I need to study for all those make up tests and quizzes in Spanish and English!" She beamed at him. "Thank you Inu-Yasha, I would have totally forgotten."
Inu-Yasha almost whimpered at her words. 'She forgot? Oh man…'
A short while later...
His length slid out of her for a moment as he caught his breath. "God… why does it have to be this way?" Referring to their lack of privacy… hence the need for them to take out their passions so vigorously that they could barely walk the next day.
"You were spoiled…" Kagome said panting, his forehead resting against hers. "There was no one but us for a long time." Her voice trailed off. He bit her neck, sucking greedily.
"Thank God little Kagome decided to go back for supplies and spending time with your family… not to mention school." He slid himself back into her slowly, her body quivering and she let out a gasp. "I'll have to thank her for this wonderful week vacation."
"Don't you dare!" She groaned when he started picking up the pace.
"Don't worry too much my love." He almost purred as she wrapped her legs around him. Her very slightly rounded and soft belly pushed against his muscled one. One of his arms reached behind her head to brace it up. Their bodies joined together made a slick noise.
"Miroku…" Her arms slowly coiled around his back. Their hips met deeply and she let out a gasp.
"Mmm hmmm…" He began a different rhythm, one he knew she liked.
"Miroku… I need…"
"Heh… I know what you need." He flipped her over onto her stomach, her body laying on the ground. He reached around her legs and touched where their bodies met.
"I need to talk." She squeaked.
"Then talk." He moved in an out of her, slowly and deeply.
"I can't think..." She complained, her hands gripping into the pile of clothes that were lying on.
"Too bad." He purred.
"I was… thinking." Gasp. "Maybe we could… have another baby."
Miroku froze for a moment, and then a small smile curled around his lips and he continued, a little bit too enthusiastically. "If you are sure…"
"Yes… oh yes." Kagome shivered.
"What do you want to name this one?"
"Kaede," She said simply. "Do… ugh… do you think she'll like it?"
"I'm sure she will." Miroku put his palms onto the ground and pushed into her faster. "What if it is a boy?"
"Kiyoshi." She said. "Do you like that name?"
"Yes." And then he came.
Just a little bit of lemon… not a lot… but you know…
I've still got a lot to write – even though I have tons of written work – I still have to put some finishing touches (and actually write) some of the in-between stuff. I've got a little storyboard thingy going… so I should be able to put out the next three or so chapters out pretty quickly… should be able to that is. You'll hear more about Miro-sama and Kago-chan's past in the chapters to come (nothing too soon... but it's coming up - don't worry)… and you'll get to hear about what happened in their lives before they popped into this time.
Anyways – I'm going to write a little bit more tonight before I go to sleep. I might have another chapter up by tomorrow… but no promises.
Oh yeah... and I realized that I accidentally didn't put the right words in caps on my last title… I hate finding stupid spelling errors and stuff like that. Ugh… not to mention sometimes I have people repeating stuff too closely together… I wanted to repeat words… but not like that… (slaps her forehead) I'll go back and fix them later... but I just don't want to do all that right now. Anyway… review, review! I can't wait to read what you think.
