Okay, I told you I'd start up as soon as possible and I did. (the next day… dun dun dun!!) But yeah, here's See, Hear, and Speak No Evil. Well, when I wrote it, it was the next day. But I wasn't able to update, so now it's more like, three months later. Crap… Oh well. (( grin ))

See, Hear, and Speak No Evil

By: Chelsea/Hikaru-hime

Chapter 1: Happy Birthday

Kasumi was now nine months pregnant. She knew that at any moment she could give birth to her son. But in the meantime, she decided to have some fun with Akane.

Of course, months ago, Kasumi found Akane and they decided to start again where they left off. Although, since Akane thought Kasumi was dead, she told family and other friends about her dog-demon-ness which in fact brought a lot of attention to Kasumi. For a while, she was angry, but found a way to cover up by telling people she may have just been a little too caught up in her 'death' and decided to tell everyone that she was a dog-demon. (making it seem like Akane was crazy)

Anyway, Akane and Kasumi were out shopping for baby clothes. Akane held an outfit over Kasumi's belly. Her eyes filled with delight.

"Kasumi, are you sure it's going to be a boy because this outfit is adorable!" she squealed.

Kasumi took the outfit and put it back on the rack. "I know, but it's for a girl. I'm positive my baby's gonna be a boy," she said.

Akane moaned. "Well, don't you think that maybe we should grab some girl stuff just in case?"

"Nah," Kasumi replied.

Just then she started to feel pain in her lower abdomen. At first she thought it was because of the food she ate earlier, but the pain continued to get worse. She tried to hide it by smiling and giving comments about the clothes Akane was showing her. But she couldn't hide it any longer.

"Kasumi!" Akane exclaimed; worriedly. "Kasumi, your water broke!"

Kasumi looked down. She was right. The liquid trickled down her leg onto her shoes and the carpeted floor. Kasumi held her stomach and started breathing heavily.

Akane took her friend's hand and guided her outside. "We have to get back to your place fast!" she said.

So they drove back to Kasumi's house and met up with Kagome.

"Mom!" Kasumi called out. "The baby's coming!"

Kagome heard those words and ran to the living room. Hojo followed her.

"Oh my goodness! Hojo, go get the video camera. We gotta get going," said Kagome.

Hojo did as he was told and gave Kagome the camera. The only reason they did this was for Akane since she wasn't going to be able to see the actual thing.

Kagome asked Kasumi if she was ready to go. She nodded and off they went. With one final hug to Akane, Kasumi and her mother dove into the bone-eater's well.

Back in the Feudal Era, Kaede was fixing up the area in which Kasumi was to give birth to her baby. She made is as comfortable as possible with a wolf skin bedding and plenty of blankets along with towels and water.

"There we go," she announced whilst standing up and setting her hands on her hips. "We'll be ready for her at any time."

Just then Kagome's voice could be heard. "Really? Are you ready for her now?" she asked.

Kaede jerked her head in Kagome's direction. When she saw Kasumi with her in labor, she quickly went into action.

"Of course, Kagome," she said. "Just lay her down on the wolf skin bed."

So Kasumi did what she was instructed to do. She removed her shorts and panties so Kaede could get a look at how far she was whilst Kagome sat beside her daughter, holding on tight to her hand.

"We still have a bit," said Kaede. "The baby hasn't quite crowned yet, but we still have time."

Kasumi screamed out in pain. She hadn't experienced pain quite as brutal as this. Kagome let Kasumi squeeze her hand tighter.

Just then Sango came in with another bucket of water. Shippo was on her shoulder. Sango was also really far in her own pregnancy. When she saw Kasumi on the bed about ready to give birth, her heart stopped. She quickly rushed to her side. After setting the bucket down, she dipped a towel into it and began dabbing Kasumi's forehead with it.

"There we go. Nice and cool. I can't believe you're having your baby already," she said.

Kasumi replied in between breaths, "Me neither." She looked over to Shippo who looked horrified by the image and instructed that he go and get Koga.

Shippo nodded and quickly left. When he accidentally saw Kasumi with her legs spread, he felt as if he'd hurl. Then again, he felt kind of sorry for her because of all the pain.

Ginta, Keiga, and Hakkaku accompanied Koga on their way back to the wolf den. They had enough food in their grasps to last a while.

Shippo immediately ran to them and said, "Koga! Kasumi's having her baby and she wants you there now!"

Koga then replied, "Are you serious?! But I have to get these pigs to the clan!"

"Do you want to see your baby born or not?" Shippo asked angrily.

Koga nodded. More than anything he wanted to see the birthing of his child. He gave his boar to Keiga and sped off with Shippo to the hut where Kasumi and the others were.

By the time they got there, Miroku and Inuyasha had arrived as well. Inuyasha and Koga glared at each other as he entered.

"Now now, Inuyasha," Miroku began. "I'm sure Kasumi doesn't want you two arguing when she's going through this."

The two men grunted in response and separated. Koga sat next to Kasumi where Sango was previously, and Inuyasha stood next to Kagome. Koga tenderly began messaging Kasumi's stomach. Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome's waist. She blushed. She hasn't felt Inuyasha's touch in a long time.

"I feel kind of bad that I didn't get to see Kasumi born," he said. "Maybe seeing my grandchild being born will make up for it."

"Inuyasha don't be silly. It's not your fault you couldn't see her," Kagome replied.

Kaede then announced, "This is it everyone! The baby has crowned."

Kagome turned her camcorder on and stood in front of Kasumi.

"Okay Kasumi, I'm going to need ye to push as hard as ye can in your pelvic area," Kaede instructed.

Kasumi did as she was told. In the meantime, Koga sniffed Kagome's video camera and looked at it curiously.

"What the hell is that thing?" he asked.

"This is a camcorder," Kagome replied. "You can record events on it, such as this one."

Koga shrugged and went back to Kasumi's side. During each push, Kasumi squeezed Koga's hand exceptionally tight. Koga could of course take the pain, it was just that her claws dug into his skin, making him bleed. But he didn't mind.

Inuyasha and Miroku watched behind Kagome and almost got sick. Not only did the screaming hurt their ears, but they had to watch a little head stare back at them from an unpleasant angle. The women however, were intrigued by it.

Kaede ordered Kasumi to give one final push when suddenly, a buzzing sound could be heard outside.

"Naraku's poison insects!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

He quickly ran outside and took out his Tetsusaiga. Miroku joined him and held his staff tightly.

"No way, he's not taking my baby!" Kasumi said angrily.

She arched her back and pushed as hard as she could, screaming very loudly. Soon enough the screams were drowned out by crying. He was here! The baby was finally here!

But there was no time to celebrate. Kasumi caught on to Naraku's scent after the buzzing faded. It was just like in her dream. Koga knew what he had to do. He stood next to Miroku and Inuyasha in a fighting stance. No matter what, they wouldn't let Naraku get away with the Shikon Jewel or the baby.

Kaede gave the newborn a quick bath and dried him up. She announced the sex of the baby (a boy of course) and handed it to Kasumi. She held onto him gently. She would not let Naraku take her creation from her. But then again, she was exhausted. She tried her hardest not to fall asleep, but her eyes shut and she drifted off. Sango and Kagome knew that they had to help protect the baby and his mother.

"Naraku, I know you're here. Show yourself," Inuyasha demanded.

Naraku's baboon puppet made himself visible. Under the mask, he grinned.

"Back off, Naraku!" Miroku warned. "You can't get away with this."

He began to remove his prayer beads around his right hand, but hesitated as the poison insects came back.

"Don't worry, Monk. Inutrasha and I will take care of him," said Koga.

Inuyasha looked back to Koga and asked, "What did you just call me?!"

"There's no time for arguments. Look out!" Miroku said as he hit a couple insects with his staff. He was right, too.

Koga began slashing at the insects whilst Inuyasha did the same with his own claws and made sure none of them would make its way through the hut and make off with the Jewel or the baby.

Inuyasha got tired of the foolishness and used Tesusaiga's ultimate power; the Wind Scar.

All the insects deteriorated. Naraku's puppet came up to the three men and chuckled. They still held their guard.

"I'm warning you, Naraku," said Inuyasha. "You better get out of here while you still can."

Naraku jumped into the air and used his vine attack (btw, I have no idea what those are called…) penetrating Koga, Miroku, and Inuyasha.

Sango came outside and saw the men sprawled out all over the place. She took her boomerang and called out, "Hiraikotsu!"

It hit Naraku and the baboon suit went to threads. Kagome quickly made it to Inuyasha while Sango went to Miroku. Koga helped himself up and went inside the hut.

He walked inside and his heart skipped a beat. There, Kasumi was holding a sleeping baby in her arms with Shippo watching curiously on her shoulder. Kaede was compiling a spell so that evil spirits could not linger within the hut.

He sat down next to Kasumi and kissed her cheek. He could tell she was exhausted. She was still sweating a bit, her hair was a bit matted, and there were little bags under her eyes. They both stared at their son in wonder.

"I can't believe we made this little guy," he said. "All by ourselves…"

Kasumi nodded. She pointed to an ear and said, "Look, he's got your ears."

Koga then pointed out, "True, but he's got your beautiful eyes."

The two pressed their lips together passionately. They forgot about Shippo still being around. He felt embarrassed about seeing the image, so he fled outside to see if Inuyasha and Miroku were all right. But they already made their ways inside before he could make it.

Kasumi broke the kiss and looked up to her father and the Monk. She said, "Thanks guys. You prevented my horrific dream from coming true."

"No problem," Inuyasha replied. He smiled at the little family. He had to admit this was perhaps one of the greatest days of his life.

He turned to Kagome and asked, "Do you think we'll ever have another?"

Kagome blushed deeply. She replied, "Inuyasha, I'm not to sure…" Just then she remembered about Hojo. She bit her lip and said, "I couldn't even if I wanted to…"

"What? Why?" Inuyasha demanded.

Kasumi's eyes got wide when she realized what her mother was about to say. She whispered to her, "Don't say it!"

"I'm married," Kagome said ignoring Kasumi's request.

Inuyasha's heart sank and yet, he was furious. "Married?! To who?!"

"To a man named Hojo."

"And who the hell is Hojo?!"

"Let's just say he's my high school sweetheart," Kagome replied innocently.

Inuyasha had nothing to say. He stormed out of the hut as quickly as he could. Kagome called after him, but it was no use. She then looked back to Kasumi. Kasumi gave her a furious look and shook her head.

"I told you…" she said.

Kagome ignored the remark and went out looking for Inuyasha. This was a huge mistake in which she wished she could rewind and do over. But obviously, that wasn't going to happen.

Yay! End of first chapter! Hope ya'll liked it. If you did, there's plenty more where that came from. (( sigh )) If anyone knows what Naraku's little vine thingies are called, please let me know. I will admit, I haven't seen enough episodes of Inuyasha to know what it's called. Anyway, peace out!
