Kagome opened her eyes weakly. She looked up and felt that she was in
Inuyasha's arms. She smiled up at him. He looked down at her lovingly.
Inuyasha kneeled down, and held Kagome's hand, which was rested on her belly. Kagome looked around, seeing the green scenery, she realized that Inuyasha had taken them to the feudal era.
Kagome lifted her other arm up and lightly touched Inuyasha's face with her soft hand. "Oh Inuyasha... I'm—I'm—"Inuyasha didn't let her finish, he put his finger on her lips softly. "Shh, it's ok... I won't leave you unprotected ever again... and—"he gulped. "If you don't want to keep the child... It's ok with me, I guess..."
She looked back up at him smiling. "No, I want to have this child now... with you... its just that..." She started sobbing "That, that doctor injected me with-with the abortion medication." She cried into Inuyasha's chest.
He looked down at her and rubbed her stomach. "Well, he- or she, may still be born, you never know. Right?" Kagome smiled weakly, she wasn't so sure.
"But, if we don't have this child—we can always—er-um—try again..." Kagome opened her mouth to say something but Inuyasha quickly finished. "That is, if you are ready, that is." Kagome closed her mouth and smiled once more at him.
Inuyasha stood up, still holding his mate. He walked into the woods, into a section that was much like a dome of trees that had twisted, and twined together for centuries, creating a room. Inuyasha put Kagome down gently and gathered some bedding in a corner, and laid Kagome down.
Kagome turned sideways and noticed that in Inuyasha's other hand he held his regular clothes... for he had still been wearing Hojo's uniform. Inuyasha started to undress. He didn't feel embarrassed about being naked in front of Kagome.
Kagome's eyes lingered over to Inuyasha's body as he was undressing. She blushed a little and giggled to herself, then looked away. Inuyasha put on his hakaba first. He left his kimono top off for now, for he was going to be doing some dirty work.
Inuyasha kneeled by Kagome's side. "I will be right back, I won't be far. I'm just going to get some fire wood so I can build a fire for us... Tonight will be cold. Inuyasha kissed her on the cheek and left the tree dome, not making a sound as he walked.
Inuyasha was only several hundred yards away. He drew his sword and swung it wildly, slicing the trunk of a tree, making it begin to fall. Inuyasha used his strength to ease the tree down softly. He began to chop it up, unaware of whom was watching.
Suddenly, a fairly small rock flew over and hit Inuyasha in the back of his head. Inuyasha gave out a grunt of pain and rubbed his head quickly looking behind him, but not finding anyone, or anything.
"WHOS THERE!" He yelled agitatedly. "Probably some pesky fox demon." He muttered under his breath. He took in a sharp breath of air through his nose... nothing, no scent, no fox demon...
"Well, maybe it, er, was just a rock that, er, fell from a tree?" He sighed, and then went back to chopping up the wood. In his head, all he could think of was getting back to his mate.
Inuyasha stood up stiffly, sensing something. Then his instincts took over, and he leapt up in the air, just as three ninja stars darted from behind him, and hit the tree he was just working on. Now Inuyasha knew that this wasn't just a coincidence. Inuyasha growled, there was no time to fool around. He had one thing on his mind, Kagome's protection. He jetted out of the area, and back to the tree dome.
Inuyasha exhaled in a sigh of relief at the sight of a sleeping Kagome. He walked over to her and kneeled by her side. He put his hand on her stomach. She pulled her hand over from her side and put it on top of his.
"I—Love you Inuyasha..." Inuyasha smiled down at her and kissed her. "C-can you build a fire for us love?" She smiled weakly. Inuyasha didn't want to tell her what happened in the woods. He was scared it might frazzle her up even more than she already is. Inuyasha just nodded, and piled some sticks that were around the dome, and built a weak looking fire near Kagome's spot.
Inuyasha lay down on his side, facing Kagome. He put his arm on her body. She motioned for him to scooched closer. He came over, and they fell asleep, keeping warm with each other's body heat.
**Kagome started to sweat. She quickly sat up and tugged on Inuyasha's pants. Inuyasha quickly got up. "W-what's wrong?" He couldn't see her face. The fire had died out, and it was too dark to see. When she spoke, she sounded sickly. "I-I don't feel so well." She fell over into Inuyasha's arms. He started to rub her back in a circular motion. "W-what is it?" She looked up at him; he could barely see the outline of a shy smile on her face. "I-I'm sick because of t-the baby..." Inuyasha had a pounding feeling in his heart, so that prick didn't hurt their baby! Inuyasha let out a yelp of joy and held her tight.
Kagome pulled away gently and took his hand and put it on her round stomach. "Here... I can feel it kick, cant you?" Sure enough, Inuyasha felt a tiny little thump, little, but a sign of life none the less. The baby was alive and well.
Inuyasha had a look of amazement on his face. He started thinking of what it would be like to be a father. The child would be quarter demon... would it have ears like his? Or would it appear to be totally human? He didn't care, as long as he had his child. He and Kagome stayed up the whole night talking.
