Each step sounded like a huge sonic boom to her. Inuyasha stepped closer
and closer, hunched over, and battle scared. Inuyasha saw the puddle of
blood that bled through his son's bundle. A tear rolled down his bloody
cheek, and fell onto his son's forehead. He unwrapped the bundle and looked
at the baby. It was bleeding through his stomach, as if he had been
stabbed. Inuyasha cried some more, spreading his fingers across his small
baby's bloody hair.
"Why—"Inuyasha then looked down at Kagome. She was unconscious with her arm spread out across the ground, reaching towards the spot were the baby just was. Inuyasha kneeled down and put his hand on Kagome's chest. She was still breathing, but barely. He lifted her up, and slung her over his shoulder, while holding his dead baby in his other arm.
"Damn... there's no way out!" Inuyasha growled as he scanned the area for some kind of exit. He looked in the northwest corner, and noticed a small rip in the air. He walked over to it, and looked at it closely. It was a small rip in the dimension. "That must be the way we came... Yentano must have not sealed it up all the way. But, how do I open it the rest of the way?"
Just as he finished his sentence, Inuyasha could hear crying. He turned around, pivoting on the ball of his heel. He saw the servant weeping over her dead master's body. Inuyasha yelled over to her. "Hey, why do you care so much? You were his slave anyways... why don't you just dump his body and help me open the portal. I'm sure you know how, am I right?"
She shakily nodded and turned her head to the side, but she wasn't looking at Inuyasha, she was gazing up, as if beyond this world. "I—I know it sounds odd, but—I did have a bond with him... he was my master..." She giggled lightly "...and I his servant. I had to serve him in every way, and well I guess I grew attached to my master. I—I didn't even get to tell him..."
Inuyasha glared over at her. "Tell him what?" Her eyes gazed down and fixed onto Inuyasha. She quickly changed the subject. "You want to go back to your world right? Then let me get you there, and you can stop meddling with my life."
Inuyasha nodded, angry that she didn't answer him. "Fine. Just open the portal" The servant walked over in silence, stumbling several times. She walked up to the rip and held her hand out. She closed her eyes and scrunched up her face, concentrating. The rip widened until it was large enough to walk through. She fell to the ground in exhaustion.
Inuyasha sighed, and helped her up. He then turned towards the portal, and walked through it. The other side was in Yentano's fortress. Inuyasha growled and looked back at her. "What are you doing? I want to go home! Not here!"
She shook her head agitatedly. "Well, we did pass through several worlds IT ISNT A ONE STOP TRIP YA KNOW!" Inuyasha grumbled, she panted for a moment then stood up and put her arm forward once more.
A rip soon opened and the portal back to their world was complete. Inuyasha walked through then looked back to thank the servant, but she had already closed it. Inuyasha looked over to his shoulder to check Kagome's condition. Still breathing. He looked around panicky. The only place he knew in this world was Kagome's home.
Inuyasha let out a loud growl in pain. He was still beaten up pretty bad. Inuyasha looked to his left. He saw a building that looked slightly familiar. "Yes... We can't be too far from her house." He walked through the streets, and within an hour he found Kagome's house. He slid the door open. No one seemed to be home. Inuyasha fell down to the ground, he then stumbled up, he dragged himself over to Kagome's room. His blood was smeared everywhere he walked, showing his route. He put his child down, and tried to push Kagome onto the bed. She was still unconscious, but he had gotten her onto the bed. He stopped moving as his body was half on the bed, and half on the ground.
** Kagome opened her eyes. She looked to her side and saw Inuyasha's bleeding body half on the bed. She tried to sit up, but groaned out in pain. Her body was broken pretty badly. She reached her fingers over to Inuyasha's face. She tried to wake him up by tapping him. If she was going to die she wanted to die in his arms. She grabbed onto the side of the mattress and pulled herself closer to him. She accidentally brushed against his body, making it fall backwards off the bed. He was lying unconscious on his back on the floor. She pulled herself off the bed, and she was now on top of him. His blood was smeared all over her clothes. She put her hands in his, and turned them onto their sides. She looked at his unconscious face and cried.
"I—want to die with you Inuyasha... if only we could turn everything back, if only this didn't have to happen..." But Inuyasha couldn't hear her. Then, she remembered her baby. She let go of Inuyasha's bleeding body and rolled over to her other side, and there right by her head was her baby. She screamed with the little breath she had left. She put her arms around her child.
The baby's blood rubbed off onto her hands. Kagome tried to scream out of strife, but she couldn't make any sound at all. She held the baby tight to her body, and cried herself to sleep.
**Kagome was next awoken by her mother's screams. She opened her eyes, and noticed that her son was gone. She turned her head to her mother's screams. But her mother wasn't looking at Kagome; she was looking at the corner of the room. Kagome turned her head, and there was Inuyasha crouched in the corner of the room, clutching on to his dead son, growling.
Kagome fought to talk. Her voice was nearly inaudible. "Mother! Mother! Stop! Just leave! Just leave!" Kagome's mom turned her attention to Kagome.
"The—You—Your—He—the blood..." Kagome stumbled up and moved to the corner of the room. She held her arms out in between her mother and Inuyasha protectively. She faced Inuyasha and got closer to him. He was growling intensely, like a sick cornered dog. He clutched to his lifeless son.
"Inuyasha—please calm down. Come on, please. Just calm down, tell me what's wrong." Inuyasha just continued to growl. His eyes were struck with horror. He was scared. Kagome tried to look as kind as she could, but it was hard for she was in unbearable pain.
"Come Inuyasha, come on over to me..." Inuyasha shook his head. "Please Inuyasha, give me our child. Just hand him to me, don't worry I wont do anything bad. Please trust me Inuyasha..." Inuyasha stopped growling and looked at her. She was obviously hurting emotionally as well as physically. He moved closer to her.
"That's it, its ok Inuyasha, just give me my baby. I need him for a moment. That's all, I promise you can hold him right after." Inuyasha had a tear roll down his face as he handed the lifeless body to Kagome.
Kagome fumbled in her pocket, and pulled out the few shards of the jewel that she still had. She held them in her hands, with her son in her lap, and she squeezed her palms together. A glowing light emitted from her hands. She unclasped her hands, and a small round marble sized jewel replaced the shards. Like a mini jewel. She turned her baby around, and she put the jewel on his back, and pressed it in. The jewel glowed brightly as it sank into his skin. Finally, it was all the way in. She turned her child around and looked at his face. Nothing happened, but she continued to stare at her baby for any sign of life. Suddenly, his little ears began to twitch, and his eyes opened. He then started to cry. Kagome cried out of happiness.
Kagome's mom gasped at the sight of seeing a dead child come back to life. Inuyasha's mouth was open. Kagome held her baby close to her body. Suddenly, ambulance sirens could be heard outside the house. Within seconds, they entered the house. Kagome's mom pointed to Kagome, and they brought the stretcher over to her and began to load her onto it. Inuyasha leapt over, and covered her protectively growling. Kagome touched his chest, and Inuyasha looked down at her.
"I wont let them take you Kagome!" Kagome put her arms up and around him. "Its ok Inuyasha, they just want to take me to the hospital. If they don't I might die. Ok?" Inuyasha nodded unassumingly and backed off. Kagome held her baby out, "Inu, take him and protect him..."
Inuyasha took his son and held him protectively, as the paramedics took Kagome to the ambulance. Kagome's mother accompanied her. Inuyasha crawled onto the bed and laid back with his son on his chest. The baby continued to cry. Inuyasha put his index finger on his son's fuzzy black ear and rubbed it. The baby immediately stopped crying. Inuyasha smiled. "Hey little guy... I'm your daddy" The baby reached out for his daddy, and grabbed Inuyasha's finger, wrapping his little fingers around it. Inuyasha laughed.
Inuyasha sat up and looked at his baby. The baby giggled and looked up at him. Inuyasha smiled down at him. "Hey, lets give u a bath. You're still all dirty." Inuyasha pulled his hand from the baby's grasp, and picked him up by his sides. He obviously didn't know how to hold a baby.
Inuyasha sat on the side of the tub. He had watched Kagome do this a bunch of times before. He closed the drain, and turned the knobs, so the water would come out warm. He filled the tub up just a couple inches, since it was only a small child. Inuyasha unwrapped his baby out of the blanket and put him in the water. The baby giggled and splashed his hands around in the water. Inuyasha smiled, and started rubbing the water on the baby, washing off all of the dry blood. Inuyasha looked at his son's stomach, where the fatal wound had been. 'How did you get that wound—are you really him reincarnated? Were you both linked? When I stabbed him, did his pain go through you?' A million things flooded Inuyasha's mind as he washed his little son.
Inuyasha smiled down at his baby, who was now crawling around on all fours, like a dog in the shallow water. Inuyasha smiled. "Yep, definitely part dog demon!" Inuyasha pulled the baby out of the water. The baby pouted and screamed, then out of anger reached his arms up, and pulled on his two chunks of hair HARD. Inuyasha yelled, and almost dropped the baby, but held onto him. "OUCH! Why did you do that?" The baby was screaming and yelling in a tantrum. "WA WA! WA WA!" The baby yelled he had a fun time in the water; he didn't want it to end yet. Inuyasha ignored his son's request, and wrapped him in a towel.
Inuyasha went back into Kagome's room, he flinched at all the blood splattered around. He walked over to the bed, and picked up the pillow with his free hand. He turned it upside down, and shook it, so the pillow fell out of the case. He took the case and carefully put the kicking child into it, having the top go up to his underarms, covering the baby's bottom half. It was the best he could find.
"Come on, lets go see your mommy" Inuyasha held onto his son tight as he jumped out of the window. He landed on the cement unharmed. Inuyasha shed his bloody shirt, and started to run in the direction of Kagome's scent.
Eventually, Inuyasha was led to a large white building. It stood tall in the sky, and was covered in windows. Inuyasha entered through the automatic doors.
The inside was creepy. It had white walls, with posters all around. Inuyasha ran through the halls despite the yells of people. He walked up to a strange metal door. He moved his hand across it questionably. Suddenly, it opened, and there was a small room. He sniffed the air, and walked inside. The doors closed. Inuyasha started to freak out; He started to claw at the walls, trying to get back out. Suddenly, the doors opened again, but the outside was different. He walked out unsure. He sniffed the air; he was still following her scent. Inuyasha came to a door. He stuck his face up to the door. *sniff* *sniff* He put his hand on the cold metal knob, and turned it. When he opened it he saw Kagome lying on a bed hooked up to several machines.
Inuyasha ran over to her bedside and kneeled down. She had an oxygen mask on. Her eyes opened at the sound of the door. A smile spread across her face. Inuyasha smiled and spoke to her softly. "Hey baby..." She smiled at him.
"Hey... Can—Can I see my baby?" She looked over at him. Inuyasha nodded and handed over the baby. Kagome frowned when she saw the way he held him, and the pillowcase that the child was in. She pulled it off, and hugged her baby.
"I... have decided his name. I want to name him Ohsiatuni." She smiled up at Inuyasha. Inuyasha grinned and leaned over to kiss her. Kagome leaned her head closer to his and kissed him. Kagome broke the kiss because of her crying baby. She rubbed his fuzzy ears. He giggled and clapped his pudgy hands. His little fangs showed as he laughed. Kagome smiled and put her finger on his belly and tickled him. "Hmm how bout Tuni for short. You like that little guy?"
Tuni giggled again. She smiled, then pushed a button by her bed. Within a minute, a nurse ran in. "yes ma'am? Do you need anything?" Kagome nodded "Do you happen to have anything for my baby? He needs some baby clothes and a bottle of milk if u has any." The nurse smiled and bowed. "Yes I'll be right back"
She came back ten minutes later, holding a bottle of milk, a footy suit, a diaper, and a little blue blanket. She put the things down on the bed and reached over to the child, to dress him. Inuyasha stood up disapprovingly, and growled. Kagome gave him an angry look to back off, and he did so and just sat down quiet. The nurse smiled over at Tuni as she put a diaper on him. Tuni giggled and wriggled around. She then dressed him in his footy suit. Kagome reached her arms out for her baby, she grabbed him. Tuni kicked around happily. Kagome tickled his twitchy ears. "My baby... Inuyasha, he is part of both of us, mixed together in the little miracle that he is. Oh I'm so glad I had him. Just thinking about that I almost didn't have him... My baby... No, Tuni is our baby" She held him out for Inuyasha to hold.
Inuyasha took Tuni and rocked him. Tuni soon fell asleep in his father's arms. "I'm sorry Kagome..." She looked up at him confused. "For what"
Inuyasha looked down at his sleeping child. "For—for being a demon... I know it is going to be hard on you and Tuni... you can't have a normal life, just because of me..." Kagome looked up at him. Her face looked soft. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she gave him a heartwarming smile. "Don't apologize for who you are. I love you, and anyways I don't care. In fact, because you're a demon, you can protect us. Anyways, your ears are cute!"
Inuyasha smirked at her remark. "But... what about Tuni—I'm... scared for him. He can't just live in the human world, and he certainly won't be fit for the demon world. He is basically a human with some enhanced teeth and dog ears. He won't have my strength or healing abilities. I just want the best for my son..."
Kagome looked down at her hand. "I understand." She motioned for him to come closer. Inuyasha did so, and she kissed him on the forehead. "Stop worrying. I love you, Tuni will love you, and you will be a great father to him. He's going to have a good life, and I wouldn't give him anything less. So what if he is part demon... we will just—deal with it when we need to." She rubbed his arm "but for now, we need you to protect and provide for us..."
Inuyasha smiled. Kagome had a way of cheering him up. He picked up the bottle, and put the nipple into Tuni's mouth. He was still asleep, but he started sucking on it, drinking the milk. Inuyasha looked at his son and smiled. "I love you Tuni..."
