Inuyasha watched over Kagome and Tuni all night. Kagome's torso was in a
cast, so it was hard for her to sit up, and many times through the night
she moaned in pain. Kagome was woken up by a nurse, who then prepared a
light breakfast for her. Tuni began to cry.
Inuyasha bounced him up and down trying to calm him, but Tuni continued to cry. Kagome passed Inuyasha some of her applesauce. Inuyasha stuffed the spoon in Tuni's mouth, hoping he would stop crying, Tuni swallowed the applesauce *gulp* he sat there for a moment then started to whine. "Mow Mow!" Kagome handed her plate to Inuyasha. Inuyasha dipped the spoon in, and played airplane with Tuni. Tuni laughed and giggled after every time.
"Wow, he's so smart! Already he's trying to say more!" Said Kagome. Inuyasha nodded excitedly "AND! Yesterday when I was giving him a bath he said 'wa wa'!" He leaned over and kissed Kagome. "I love being a father he's so cute, and little, depending on me to feed him and keep him safe. It's an amazing feeling. Especially to know that this living breathing baby is part of me."
Kagome laughed. "Slow down tiger! Can I hold Ohsiatuni for a bit?" Inuyasha nodded, and surrendered his son over to his mate. Kagome smiled and looked down at Tuni. "Hey there big boy! Hey there! Hey there!" She tapped his nose. Tuni wrinkled his nose and sneezed. "Oh, Bless you!"
Soon, a doctor entered the room. "Uh Ms. Higurashi?" Kagome looked up at the doctor's voice. "Hello, I'm Doctor Akhiro, I'm just here to brief you on your condition. First of all do you have any questions?" Kagome shook her head. "Well it is obvious that you went through a lot in the past few days. Childbirth, then assault... Well first of all, you're bones will heal fine, you just may need to walk on crutches until they heal fully. The main thing I came here to talk about was your child."
Kagome looked up at him "My...Child... why, what's wrong?" Inuyasha stirred in his chair.
The doctor nodded, then began talking. "Well, uhh we've obviously noticed he's... well—er different... but that's not the point. Do you have a job Ms. Higurashi?" Kagome shook her head. "Do you still plan on finishing up school?" Kagome responded to him. Yeah, of course...why?" The doctor continued. "Well—er—you may want to think about your options. Well before that, do you have any family that can take care of him. Or perhaps the father?"
Inuyasha stood up and growled. "I'm the father! What of it?" The doctor stumbled around a little. "Oh well—I didn't—know..."
Kagome began to cry as she hugged Tuni. "No! You cant take him away from me... He's mine, He needs a mother!!!! He needs me!"
"Ma'am! Calm down, I'm not taking him away; I'm just making sure you have the resources you need so you can keep your child. Now, there are some organizations that help out with teen mothers. We will contact your school about this—"
Kagome cut him off. "NO! Please don't! you cant call my school, they wont let me back! I'll have to go to a maternity school and my mom is going to freak!"
The doctor shook his head and cleared his throat. "Well your mother is here now, she's in the waiting room. She didn't want to disturb you. As for your school, we have to tell them for health issues. However, I will make sure that you will continue at the same school you are at. By any chance, does your school have a child development program?"
She shakily nodded her head. The doctor continued. "Well, I suggest that you talk to the school, and put your child in the class. Child development has a child care component. That way you can pick your baby up after school, and maybe even see him during the day."
Kagome still looked uneasy still, but nodded her head in compliance. She looked up at him, and asked, "When will I be released?" The doctor nodded and responded to her.
"Well, we suggest that you stay a few more days, but we can release you today if you wish. Of course, with your mother's permission, since you are still a minor."
Kagome buried her head in her hands sobbing at his reply. "My mother! She wont let me do anything! She'll never let me leave this place!" Kagome then lifted her head up. Her cheeks were puffy and red. She looked a little angry. "Doctor. Could you get my mother for me?" The doctor nodded and left the room.
He came back with Kagome's mother behind him. The doctor bowed and left the room, not wanting to intrude. Kagome looked at her mother sternly, expecting a stern look back. However, Kagome's mother's face was also puffy with tears. She ran to her daughter and embraced her. "Oh Kagome! You're allright!!!" Kagome gave her a questionable look.
"B-but mother, I thought that you—"Her mother shook her head, and kissed Kagome on the fore head.
"agome, I love you. You were in very bad condition when you got here. I'm actually a little glad that Inuyasha allowed us to take you. I was—frightened that he wouldn't let you go!" Kagome smiled up at her mother. Her mother continued.
"After Yentano possessed my body, I also was admitted into the hospital. When I came back, I entered the house to see a bloody trail that led to your room. I screamed thinking that Inuyasha had done this to you—"At these last words, Inuyasha grumbled angrily. She continued "Well we got you in the ambulance and the doctors had to operate on you. You groke three ribs, and fractured several other bones."
Kagome smiled up at her. "Then—can I go home yet?" Kagome's mom gave her a look that screamed 'no'.
"Absolutely not! You have four pins, and you're covered iin casts and brtruises!" Kagome looked down at her baby and oet his ears sadly.
"But—when can I leave?" Kagome's mother became soft and kind again. "Just a few more days, ok Kagome? As for your child. I will help you support him, and take care of him while you are at school." Kagome's face lit up.
"Really! And then Inuyasha can also stay and help you! He can stay in my room.." Kagome's mom's face became angry once more.
"Absolutely not! Im not letting that—that—Molestor stay in our home! It's bad enough he got you pregnant the first time! I don't need any more grandchildren to take care of while you run off with that—Beast!"
At her words, Inuyasha stood up angrily. "Just so you know, it DOES take two to tango! I bet you would let any other human boy stay!"
She growled back. "Yes they are. Raging human hormones are one thing, but wild demon hormones are another!"
Kagome started to cry again. She motioned for Inuyasha to come next to her. Inuyasha noticed Kagome's hand motions, and reluctantly left the argument. "Yeah?" Kagome looked up at him. "She—wont let us stay together in her house. So—let's get our own. Just an apartment. I can work at night, and we could save on child care by leaving the baby with yo—"Kagome stuttered off, remembering Inuyasha's bad parenting skills. Could she really leave a little baby with someone who doesn't know what hes doing? She changed her sentence. "err—in the child development program at my school" A lightbulb went off in her head. "That's it! and you could come too! We can enroll you in school. OH! We can enroll you in the child development class, so you could be around Tuni all day, AND learn how to care for his needs!"
Tuni giggled at the sound of his name. "Ta Ta" Kagome smiled down at him, and repeated his name. "Tuni. Tuni." She laughed "You cant say it yet, but you will!" Tuni giggled. "Ta Ta!"
Inuyasha frowned at Kagome's idea. "What's wrong with my parenting skills!" Kagome blushed and laughed uneasily. "He he.. well—err... You could—go to the class to teach other people your amazing abilities as a father!" She sighed in a quick save.
Kagome's mom just stuttered. "JUST HOLD ON A MINUTE! YOU—MOVING OUT!!! No! come on Kagome this is crazy! Just—just—grrr I give up. Inuyasha can stay." Kagome laughed and clapped. "BUT! He's sleeping in the parlor. Got it!"
Kagome yelled in excitement. "YAY!" She tried to sit up but was quickly stopped by her inury. "Inu! You can stay! You can stay! Inuyasha gave her a light smile.
**A WEEK LATER**
Kagome stood in the main lobby, with Inuyasha besides her. She was wearing normal clothes for the first time since she had come here. Inuyasha smiled at her holding all of her suitcases. Kagome smiled at him, and glanced down at Tuni, who was asleep in her arms. Kagome's mom was at the reception desk, signing her out and talking about payment plans.
Kagome's mother signed something, then walked up to Kagome. "Ok, lets go." She led them to the car and opened the passenger door for Kagome. Kagome smiled and entered, still holding her baby, who was now sleeping. Inuyasha loaded the luggage in the back trunk with ease. He opened the back door and sat inside. Kagome's mom then turned on the car, and zoomed away from the hospital.
Inuyasha was shaking the whole time. Cars just freaked him out. They were such an odd way of transportation to him. Within half an hour, Kagome's mom pulled up into their dusty driveway. Inuyasha hopped out happily, and opened the trunk, and unloaded the luggage. Kagome opened the door and stepped out. She looked up at her home and smiled. They all entered.
The house was the neatest she had ever seen. All of the blood was cleaned up, and everything was in place. "How did you clean all of this up mom?" She looked down at Kagome. "I called the cleaners. Took them hours to clean all the blood up. I just told them you were a hemophiliac."
Kagome rolled her eyes then went into her room. She fell back onto her bed and caressed her hands across her soft sheets. Inuyasha came in and dropped the bags in her room, then sat on the bed besides her.
He picked Tuni up and scratched his special spot (behind the ears) Tuni closed his eyes and thumped his leg surrounded in comfort. Kagome laughed. "He acts like a little puppy! He's my little pup!" Inuyasha smiled.
"Yeah, I guess pup would be the proper term for the son of a dog demon." Kagome eyed him, and corrected him.
"HALF dog demon" Inuyasha rolled his eyes and repeated her. "Fine, half dog demon." Kagome laughed and rolled her head onto his chest. She closed her eyes smiling. "You know I even learned some parenting skills at the hospital... they taught me some basic stuff for babies." Inuyasha looked down at her.
"Like what?" Kagome opened her eyes and replied. "Well—breast feeding for one... plus other basic baby needs."
Inuyasha blushed. "Breast—feeding..." Kagome laughed and nodded. "Well Inuyasha you cant freak out on me! I gotta feed the baby!" Inuyasha blushed again and stuttered around. She laughed at him.
"You don't have to stick around or anything" Kagome smirked, then the baby started to cry. Kagome smirked again. "See, there we go! He's already hungry!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes. She tickled Tuni's ears, then turned her body away from Inuyasha, and lifted the front of her shirt up and held Tuni. Inuyasha could see Tuni's little hands on the side of Kagome. Kagome shifted around a little uncomfortably.
A couple minutes later Kagome pulled Tuni away, and covered herself back up. She turned back to Inuyasha. "I'm not looking forward to when his fangs grow in..." Inuyasha tried to hold back a laugh, but was usuccessful.
"Yeah, well hopefully by then he'll be on the bottle... or sippy cup or something." The baby clapped his pudgy hands and giggled. "Si Si" Inuyasha grinned and ruffled his hair.
"Kagome... How are we gonna conceal his demon ears....and what about me... If I go to school with you its gonna be kind of obvious, right?" Kagome smiled and inched over to him grinning.
"Kagome... why are you looking at me like that... Kagome... Kagome!" She came over to him and pushed his ears down hard.
"You gotta keep 'em down! I know u can do at least that! Or else we'll have to use tape!" Inuyasha backed up and tried to keep his ears down. They twitched around a little, then pressed down, and blended in with his hair. "Is that good?I don't think I could keep this up ya know."
She gave him an angry look. "You mean you don't WANT to try to keep them down all day. Look I bet little Tuni can do it." She stuck her hand on Tuni's ears, pushing them down. She lifted her hands up, and Tuni's ears perked back up and twitched around. She pushed down on his ears again, and lifted her hands up. This time his ears stayed down for a moment, then he popped them back up. Kagome rolled her eyes but then encouraged him. "C'mon, it's ok, you can do it little guy" Tuni popped his ears up and down. Kagome laughed, then put her hands over his head ready to push his ears down again. This time, Tuni did it for her, and kept them down. She moved her hands away, and he perked them back up. Kagome hovered her hands over his head again, and he put his ears down again. She moved her hands back slowly. Tuni kept his ears down, then popped them back up after another moment. Kagome yelled out in agitation. Inuyasha laughed and started barking dog talk to Tuni. Tuni understood and kept his ears down. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha.
"What did you say to him?" Inuyasha turned his head away. "Nothin." Kagome hit his shoulder.
"Tell me now!" Inuyasha stood up and left the room angrily. "Feh." Inuyasha went into the living room and stretched across the couch, lying on his side. Kagome ran out and sat by the couch. "Hey wait! I'm sorry. Please don't get mad Inuyasha!" Inuyasha just opened his eyes and looked at her. She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. She put Tuni in Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha hugged his pup, and talked doggy talk to him, and he put his ears back up. "See, he can do it just fine, u just gotta tell him what you want. Got it Kagome?" Kagome blushed.
"Well—err I'm not really fluent in dog talk or anything... in fact no one is..." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Fine... just hang on a sec." Inuyasha started to mumble dog talk to his son, then whistled two short whistles. Tuni put his ears down.
"Ok Kagome better? All u gotta do now is just whistle like I did, and then he'll put his ears down fer you. Ok?"
Kagome smiled and started whistling again and again. Tuni's ears went up and down, up and down, up and down, until he started to cry.
Kagome! Look what you did! You made him cry. Poor thing." He pet Tuni's sore little ears. Tuni soon stopped crying, and then fell asleep. Inuyasha sat up. Kagome looked out the window.
"Oh my god! It's already night! Come on! We have to go to school tomorrow!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him off the couch and into her room.
"But Kagome! Your mom wont let me stay in your room." Kagome looked back at him. "So what! We haven't listened to her yet! And Tuni's proof of that!" Inuyasha followed and laid down on the floor, holding the sleeping Tuni in his arms. Kagome shook her head.
"Come on! What are you scared of me, we can all sleep together up in my bed. Its big enough... and were gonna have to keep Tuni with us until we get him a baby crib." Inuyasha got up onto the bed and handed the baby to Kagome. She turned to her side, holding her little baby. Inuyasha also turned on his side and put his arms around her, facing her back. He soon fell asleep, since he was so exhausted.
He was woken up at about two in the morning, by his son's crying. Kagome was up on the edge of the bed bouncing him up and down, trying to breastfeed him, but he wouldn't let her. He continued to cry. Inuyasha looked over at her. Her face looked tired, and worn down.
"Please Tuni, Please stop crying. Please... Just for mommy..." Inuyasha rubbed his eyes and then rubbed Kagome's back. "Hey... whats wrong with him?" Kagome's eyes started to tear up. "I—I—I don't know! I cant do this parenting thing, I cant be a mom! I'm no good at it! I cant I cant I cant!" Inuyasha grabbed the crying baby from her.
"Come on Kagome! Don't just give up. The poor thing... We brought him into this world, were just not going to give it up!" He rocked Tuni, but Tuni kept on crying. Inuyasha started talking to Tuni in doggy language again, but Tuni didn't respond. Now, Tuni started thrashing around in his father's arms. Tuni squealed as if in pain.
Inuyasha flinched at the sound of his son's pain. "Come on Tuni, tell me whats wrong... come on... just calm down little guy. Calm down." But Tuni didn't calm down. Inuyasha even checked his diaper, but that wasn't it. Tuni tried to wiggle from his father's grip, then bit Inuyasha with the little tiny fangs that had grown in already. Inuyasha dropped him out of reaction. Inuyasha's hand started to bleed.
Tuni started running around in circles on the floor on all fours like a dog, He then started ripping up the carpet, and even ran into the wall. Kagome screamed. "My baby! Please stop! Please Inuyasha make him stop! What's wrong with him! What's wrong with him!"
Inuyasha dropped down on the floor, and picked up Tuni regardless of his bites or little scratches. Inuyasha held a firm grip on him.
"Oh no... I think I know what it is...." Kagome looked hysterical. "What!?!?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BABY!"
Inuyasha started to pet Tuni's ears trying to calm him down. "Tuni is basically a human, with just a dab of demon blood. Well his human body is rejecting it, and driving him crazy. His human body cant hold the little demon blood he has."
Kagome screamed. "SO WE CANT DO ANYTHING, AND MY BABY IS JUST GOING TO DIE. ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID DEMON BLOOD!!" Inuyasha looked up at her sadly, and handed her the baby, then walked out angrily. "Fine, then why don't I just leave. I obviously don't mean anything to you."
"No wait! But Inu! You cant—I cant take care of him... only you can—I cant do it alone... don't leave me... I didn't mean..." Inuyasha glared back at her then walked back into the room and grabbed his son. "Fine then I'll take him. Bye" Inuyasha leapt out of her window and into the well.

Next Chapter- ((Ok ok, I know all the stuff didn't happen that I said would, and that's because I split this really long chapter up into a few parts. So HANG ON! If you want more info on the next chapter, check the last review)) Inuyasha turns up in the feudal era, with his dying son. Tuni survived so much so far, is it really going to end like this? Will Inuyasha and Kagome make up again?!?! Next Chapter- Love Amends Again
Inuyasha bounced him up and down trying to calm him, but Tuni continued to cry. Kagome passed Inuyasha some of her applesauce.

"Tell me now!" Inuyasha stood up and left the room angrily. "Feh." Inuyasha went into the living room and stretched across the couch, lying on his side. Kagome ran out and sat by the couch. "Hey wait! I'm sorry. Please don't get mad Inuyasha!" Inuyasha just opened his eyes and looked at her. She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. She put Tuni in Inuyasha's arms. Inuyasha hugged his pup, and talked doggy talk to him, and he put his ears back up. "See, he can do it just fine, u just gotta tell him what you want. Got it Kagome?" Kagome blushed.
"Well—err I'm not really fluent in dog talk or anything... in fact no one is..." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Fine... just hang on a sec." Inuyasha started to mumble dog talk to his son, then whistled two short whistles. Tuni put his ears down.
"Ok Kagome better? All u gotta do now is just whistle like I did, and then he'll put his ears down fer you. Ok?"
Kagome smiled and started whistling again and again. Tuni's ears went up and down, up and down, up and down, until he started to cry.
Kagome! Look what you did! You made him cry. Poor thing." He pet Tuni's sore little ears. Tuni soon stopped crying, and then fell asleep. Inuyasha sat up. Kagome looked out the window.
"Oh my god! It's already night! Come on! We have to go to school tomorrow!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him off the couch and into her room.
"But Kagome! Your mom wont let me stay in your room." Kagome looked back at him. "So what! We haven't listened to her yet! And Tuni's proof of that!" Inuyasha followed and laid down on the floor, holding the sleeping Tuni in his arms. Kagome shook her head.
"Come on! What are you scared of me, we can all sleep together up in my bed. Its big enough... and were gonna have to keep Tuni with us until we get him a baby crib." Inuyasha got up onto the bed and handed the baby to Kagome. She turned to her side, holding her little baby. Inuyasha also turned on his side and put his arms around her, facing her back. He soon fell asleep, since he was so exhausted.
He was woken up at about two in the morning, by his son's crying. Kagome was up on the edge of the bed bouncing him up and down, trying to breastfeed him, but he wouldn't let her. He continued to cry. Inuyasha looked over at her. Her face looked tired, and worn down.
"Please Tuni, Please stop crying. Please... Just for mommy..." Inuyasha rubbed his eyes and then rubbed Kagome's back. "Hey... whats wrong with him?" Kagome's eyes started to tear up. "I—I—I don't know! I cant do this parenting thing, I cant be a mom! I'm no good at it! I cant I cant I cant!" Inuyasha grabbed the crying baby from her.
"Come on Kagome! Don't just give up. The poor thing... We brought him into this world, were just not going to give it up!" He rocked Tuni, but Tuni kept on crying. Inuyasha started talking to Tuni in doggy language again, but Tuni didn't respond. Now, Tuni started thrashing around in his father's arms. Tuni squealed as if in pain.
Inuyasha flinched at the sound of his son's pain. "Come on Tuni, tell me whats wrong... come on... just calm down little guy. Calm down." But Tuni didn't calm down. Inuyasha even checked his diaper, but that wasn't it. Tuni tried to wiggle from his father's grip, then bit Inuyasha with the little tiny fangs that had grown in already. Inuyasha dropped him out of reaction. Inuyasha's hand started to bleed.
Tuni started running around in circles on the floor on all fours like a dog, He then started ripping up the carpet, and even ran into the wall. Kagome screamed. "My baby! Please stop! Please Inuyasha make him stop! What's wrong with him! What's wrong with him!"
Inuyasha dropped down on the floor, and picked up Tuni regardless of his bites or little scratches. Inuyasha held a firm grip on him.
"Oh no... I think I know what it is...." Kagome looked hysterical. "What!?!?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BABY!"
Inuyasha started to pet Tuni's ears trying to calm him down. "Tuni is basically a human, with just a dab of demon blood. Well his human body is rejecting it, and driving him crazy. His human body cant hold the little demon blood he has."
Kagome screamed. "SO WE CANT DO ANYTHING, AND MY BABY IS JUST GOING TO DIE. ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID DEMON BLOOD!!" Inuyasha looked up at her sadly, and handed her the baby, then walked out angrily. "Fine, then why don't I just leave. I obviously don't mean anything to you."
"No wait! But Inu! You cant—I cant take care of him... only you can—I cant do it alone... don't leave me... I didn't mean..." Inuyasha glared back at her then walked back into the room and grabbed his son. "Fine then I'll take him. Bye" Inuyasha leapt out of her window and into the well.
