Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Notes to my reviewers: How many of you guys let out a sigh of relief during the last chapter when I announced that Kouga wasn't the dad...

Eveilpristess345: I think the child will be just as stubborn as Inuyasha.

Inufreak831 : Holy crap! You're too smart for your own good.

Lizzy Puerto Rico: Just for you, I will try to make the baby unique in some way.

Captured Moon: I'll tell you what we don't have in common, if you think you can handle this information...I love coke, but I drink more pepsi. Tell you sister I siad 'hi' and 'thanks for shooting with the tranquillizer'... (lol) jk.

Inuyasha's Favorit Fan: Funny... I don't remember saying that... ; )

Eekolie: I always planned on making Inuyasha the father, so I don't really know what would have happened if Kouga was the dad. But I guess she would keep it. Inuyasha's court date would have been on a Tuesday (lol)

Spike of Doom: What if I gave the baby two heads and a dragons tail, would that surprise you?

neptunegoddess062: I was considering the idea of Sango having a baby, but I'm not sure if it will happen or not.

Chapter Twenty Seven: A Gift From Kouga

"Mom, I'm gonna be late for school." Souta complained. Kagome's mom had woken up later then she thought she would. Now she only had fifteen minutes to drive Souta to work, get her father to the hospital (for a checkup), and get herself to work.

"I'll be down in a second Souta." She made sure everything she needed was in her purse, then walked down the hallway.

Kagome's door was opened a little bit of the way, so she stuck her head in. It made her smile when she saw Inuyasha and Kagome sleeping, fully clothed, in each other's arms.

"Mom" Souta called out again.

Kagome's mom closed the door as quietly as she could, so that they could sleep. "Ok, lets go." She said to Souta and Grandpa as she walked out to her car.

Kagome lifted her head off the pillow when she heard the sound of the family car driving away. She looked down at the sleeping Inuyasha beside her. His hair was white again. She ran her fingers through it and admired how soft it felt for a few minutes before getting out of bed.

She made herself a small breakfast of Ramen. Normally she wouldn't eat it for breakfast, but today she had a craving for it. "Ironic." She mumbled to herself.

She finished up two bowls of ramen before taking a shower, brushing her teeth, etc. She walked back into her room with some fresh cloths on to find Inuyasha still sleeping. What's the best way to wake him up she thought to herself.

Kagome crawled back into the spot she originally was and reached up to rub his ears. Inuyasha smiled and woke up. "Morning." She said cheerfully when his eyes were opened.

"Good morning Kagome." He reached over and rubbed her ear too, but she giggled.

Inuyasha's eyes suddenly moved to the bedroom door, "What's that?"

"What's what?"

Inuyasha sniffed the air a little bit "You cooked ramen!"

"Oh yeah, there's some for you, if you want it."

She barely finished that sentence when Inuyasha jumped out of the bed and ran down to the kitchen. He saw a pot of steaming ramen sitting on the stove. He reached out to grab some, then yelled out when he burnt his finger.

"What's wrong?" Kagome asked when she walked into the room Inuyasha held out his hand. "Let me see." She grabbed his hand and examined his finger. "Looks alright, it will be fine in a little while."

"But it hurts."

Kagome kissed the tip of his finger the poured some ramen for him. "Sit down," she said while setting the bowl on the table.

"Say that again?"

"Say what again."

"Sit."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Sit."

Inuyasha smiled.

"You know," Kagome said when he started to eat, "I still have the dog whistle."

"Damn." Inuyasha mumbled when she said that. Kagome sat down across the table from him and watched him eat. When he looked up and saw Kagome's eyes fixed on him he became a little nervous, "What?"

"N-Nothing." Kagome didn't even realize that she had been staring at him.

Inuyasha shrugged it off and finished off the food Kagome had given him, "Is there anymore."

"Where is everyone?" Inuyasha asked, suddenly realizing that they were the only people there.

"Out, I think. I heard the car driving away this morning."

"Oh."

Kagome shook her head; "You should take a shower before we leave."

"Do I smell bad?"

"No." Kagome laughed. "But my shower is a lot better then the river." She picked up his bowl and started to wash it.

"Alright." He got up and walked over to Kagome. Before she even noticed him, he lifted her up and carried her to the bathroom.

"Inuyasha, what are you doing?"

"Taking a shower. I just figured you could take one with me."

"I already took one."

"When?"

"When you were sleeping."

Inuyasha smirked. "You need to bath for two now."

Kagome started laughing when he said that. "It's eating for two, not bathing for two."

"I don't care."

He set Kagome down on the toilet and turned on the water. He fiddled with the handles for a little while before he was satisfied with the temperature. "Perfect." He said. He turned towards Kagome.

He reached down and pulled her shirt over her head. Kagome had on a pink cotton bra, but she still tried to cover herself with her hands. "Don't." Inuyasha said, pulling them away. He kissed along her neck while trying to unhook her bra. He had a little trouble with it, so he ended up cutting the fabric with his claws. "Perfect." he said again when he looked down at Kagome's bare chest.

"Inuyasha!" she started to protest. He had ruined her favorite bra.

He ignored her tone and pulled her up to her feet. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. His tongue slipped inside of her mouth, moving around with hers.

Kagome tugged on his shirt lightly and he got the hint. He pulled himself away from her and pulled both his red and white shirt off. Kagome ran her finger along his chest for a few minutes, admiring how tan and chiseled it was.

Inuyasha laughed a little bit. Kagome's fingers felt really good. He pulled her skirt down along with her underwear. "There," he said, "you're ready for a shower."

"Thanks." Kagome said, "I probably couldn't have managed that on my own." She giggled to herself. She turned her back to Inuyasha and stepped inside the shower. The water felt good. Inuyasha had done a better job then she thought he would.

Inuyasha stepped inside the shower and pressed Kagome against the shower wall. He nuzzled her neck; the water made her skin softer then he remembered.

Kagome wrapped her arms around him and tilted her head to the side so Inuyasha would have better access. She loved it when he kissed her neck. A small gasp escaped her lips when Inuyasha bit down a little bit.

Inuyasha loved it when he caused Kagome to make those cute sounds. His hands moved down her sides and rested on her hips. He kissed down along her collarbone.

Kagome moved her hands along, exploring Inuyasha's body. He took in a sharp breath. Her cool fingers felt really nice, he thought he was going to lose control of himself. He grabbed her hands and placed them against the wall above her head.

Kagome leaned forward a little bit and met Inuyasha's lips. She gave him a passionate kiss before leaning back against the wall. Inuyasha smiled at her forwardness. He pressed his lips against hers and used one finger to enter her.

She shuddered with pleasure when she felt him. "Inuyasha" her voice was shaky. She kissed and nuzzled his neck in appreciation.

Inuyasha smirked at her reaction and pulled his finger out. He pressed his lips against hers and positioned himself at her entrance. He looked into her eyes and smiled at the spark of lust in them.

He licked her bottom lip once more before pushing himself in her. Kagome let out a loud moan when she felt the sudden bliss that came over her entire body. "Inuyasha." She moaned.

He started a slow pace, he didn't want to lose control and hurt Kagome. Her breathing was heavy and she would let out a moan every time he pulled out and pushed in again. Kagome was able to lift one leg up and wrap it around his waist. Inuyasha reached down and pulled up her other one and cupped her butt in his hands, so that only he and the wall were keeping her up.

"Inuyahsa." Kagome managed to say his name between her gasps.

He smiled and started to speed his pace up. He tried going faster and deeper then before. Kagome held tightly onto Inuyasha's shoulders and leaned into his chest. She was going to miss this feeling for the next nine months.

Inuyasha began to push against her as hard as he possibly could. He felt himself nearing the end when Kagome pulled her head back and let out a loud scream of pleasure. When his body finally released itself he let Kagome's feet set themselves back on the shower floor.

"I love you." Kagome said after she caught her breath.

Inuyasha laughed a little bit before saying, "I think that was the most interesting shower I've ever taken."

Miroku walked out of Kaede's house to find Sango sitting next to the door. Her eyes were closed and she was leaning back. "Sango. Are you asleep?"

"No." she opened her eyes. "I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"Kagome. I wonder if she's still mad at us."

"No, I'm sure she's fine now."

They both looked up when they heard someone coming. "Kago-" Sango started to call, but she quickly saw that it wasn't Inuyasha or Kagome at all.

"K-Kouga, what are you doing here?"

"Is Kagome around?" Kouga asked without answering her question.

"She'll be back in a little while. What do you want?" Miroku asked.

"I just need to talk to her."

Sango stood up, "Kagome's already a little upset, she doesn't need you here picking fights with Inuyasha."

Kouga put his hands up in the air. "I'm not here to fight. I need to talk to Kagome, that's all. Why is she mad?"

"Sango and I," Miroku said, "put the idea in Inuyasha's head that you might be the father of her baby."

Kouga rolled his eyes, "I'm not."

"What the hell are you going here!" Inuyasha's voice could be heard a short distance away. The three of them turned and saw Inuyasha standing next to Kagome.

"I need to talk to Kagome." Kouga answered.

"No." was Inuyasha's only response.

"What do you need to talk about?" Kagome asked, ignoring Inuyasha.

Kouga walked up to her and grabbed onto her hand. "Could we talk somewhere private."

"No." Inuyasha said again, "If you've got something to say to Kagome, you can say it in front of everyone."

Kagome jabbed Inuyasha's side with her elbow. "Inuyasha, stop." She switched her attention from Inuyasha to Kouga. "I don't want to go anywhere with you, unless you make a promise to me."

"What?" Kouga asked impatiently. He was suddenly able to smell the faint scent of Inuyasha on her, but he didn't care anymore. He knew there was nothing he could do about it.

"I don't want you to try and convince me to be your mate."

Kouga let out a frustrated sigh. "I wasn't planning on it Kagome, I just need to talk to you."

"Alright."

Kouga looked relived and grabbed Kagome's arm. "Come on, we need to go somewhere quiet."

Inuyasha sighed as he watched Kouga run off with Kagome. "I should follow them." He said out loud, without meaning too.

"Inuyasha. If you follow Kagome she might become angry again." Miroku pointed out. "She would probably accuse you of not trusting her."

Inuyasha groaned, he knew that Miroku was right. He hated the feeling of not being able to do anything. "Don't worry." Sango said when she saw the worried look on Inuyasha's face; "Kagome loves you not Kouga."

"I know. I know." Inuyasha mumbled before walking into Kaede's house.

Kouga looked around until he found the perfect spot to talk to Kagome alone. He sniffed the air every now and then to make sure that Inuyasha wasn't following them, then stopped and looked at Kagome.

"What do you want to talk about?" Kagome asked. She didn't want to take too long, she knew that Inuyasha would worry.

"Kagome, I want you to know that I still love you, but-"

"Kouga you promised me"

"I know, that's not why I'm here. Inuyasha told me you are pregnant."

Kagome nodded. "When did he tell you?"

"Earlier. He wanted to know if I was the father, I think."

Kagome sighed. "It's a good thing I'm not mad at him anymore." She said mainly to herself.

"Anyway," Kouga continued. "When ever a female wolf demon is expecting a child, everyone will give her a gift."

Kagome smiled. "Really? We do something like that where I come from. It's called a baby shower."

"Oh."

"Sorry," Kagome suddenly realized that she had interrupted him. "Continue please."

"Well, I still care for you, so I want to give you a gift."

"Kouga you don't have too."

"I want too. I don't really have much to give you, so I wanted to give you some information"

"What do you mean?"

Kouga leaned in so he wouldn't have to talk very loud. "Kikyo has the rest of the jewel hidden in her bedroom. I thought you might like to know that."

Kagome's mouth dropped open, "T-The rest of the jewel, really!"

Kouga nodded.

"Oh Kouga!" Kagome wrapped her arms around him and gave him a tight hug. "Thank you so much."

Kouga hugged her back, but this time when he hugged her; he didn't hug her as a man who wanted to claim this woman as his mate, but as a friend hugging another friend. "I should go." He said, pushing her away, "I don't want your mate getting jealous."

Kagome laughed as she watched Kouga jump from tree to tree. She was so happy, knowing that the jewel was so near, being completed. She practically skipped back to Kaede's house until another problem arose in her mind. How do we get it?

She didn't want to have to go back to Kikyo's castle, and she knew that the other probably didn't want to either.

Kagome made her way to Kaede's house. When she walked in, everyone stopped talking. Miroku and Sango seemed a little nervous around her. "I'm sorry I yelled at you guys." Kagome said instantly.

They relaxed a little bit. "It's alright. Sorry we butted in like that."

"So, what did Kouga want?" Inuyasha asked.

"He just wanted to give me a gift."

"What? Why?" Sango asked.

Kagome rolled her eyes; she didn't like always having to go into detail about certain moments of her life. "He wanted to give me a gift because I am having a baby." She said.

"Oh."

"That reminds me," she looked at Inuyasha, "Why'd you go up to Kouga's den."

Inuyasha gulped, "He told you about that."

"Yeah."

"Are you mad?"

She fingered the dog whistle around her neck just to make Inuyasha nervous. "No, I'm not." She said after a few seconds.

Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief.

"What did Kouga give you?" Shippo asked.

"Oh, n-nothing." She wanted to come up with a plan before she told everyone about the jewel.

Sango suddenly remembered what Miroku had told her the other day. "Kagome, could I ask you a favor."

"Sure."

Sango and Miroku explained their idea of going from town to town looking for Kohaku using a picture Kagome would draw, "If it's alright with you?" Sango tossed in timidly.

"No problem." She reached into her backpack and pulled out her new notebook. Last time she was in her era she remembered to grab a new one. It took her most of the day to draw it, because she didn't have a model to look at.

It wasn't a perfect look alike, but she was really satisfied with the finished project.

Gosh, it is really hot today. It is only 8:45 in the morning and it is already 86 degrees outside (plus our air conditioner is broken.) I could really use and ice cold drink right about now.

I've got some bad news... I'm going on another trip. This one is going to be longer then my last one... 2 weeks instead of 1. But just like last time... the more reviews I get... the longer chapter 28 will be
