CHAPTER II: Nightmares and the Stolen Jewel
It had been hard for Inuyasha to fall asleep that night, but when he finally did, he regretted it.
It was raining hard. Inuyasha tried to run faster, but his legs would not carry him fast enough. He needed to get to Kagome. She was bleeding and screaming.
He finally reached Kaede's hut, but there was another scent mingled with Kagome's scent and her blood. It was the scent of a child. She had given birth!
Excited, Inuyasha pushed back the curtain to see his new pup. But it wasn't his.
Koga was kneeling beside Kagome, holding the tiny wolf pup in his arms and laughing cruelly at Inuyasha. Kagome even laughed at him.
"Sorry, Inuyasha! I guess the kid wasn't yours, after all!" Kagome said, shrugging and smiling at him.
She actually shrugged. Like it was nothing. No big deal.
Inuyasha closed his eyes. This couldn't be happening. Kagome wouldn't do this to him...would she?
Inuyasha sat up with a very sudden jerk, startling his mate.
"Whoa! Are you okay?" Kagome asked him cautiously.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, reminding himself that it had only been a dream. Kagome would never do such a thing to him.
"Yeah, I'm fine...how are you?" Inuyasha asked, looking down at the girl in his arms.
"I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday, but still pretty crummy," she replied with a sigh. "This is going to be a long nine months."
Inuyasha nodded, trying to push the dream out of his head. That pup was his, definitely not Koga's.
And even if it was Koga's, Kagome wouldn't laugh about it.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Inuyasha stood up with Kagome in his arms and set her down. Kagome had fallen asleep in Inuyasha's arms, and Inuyasha had fallen asleep leaning against the wall of Kaede's hut. The whole group had talked four hours last night about plans for the pup when it came.
They had also talked about how much Kagome's mother was going to flip and about how Kagome was now officially afraid to go home.
Kagome and Inuyasha walked, hand in hand as usual, out of the hut to see a very distressed Kaede and a concerned-looking Miroku, Sango and Shippo.
"Um, what's going on, you guys?" Kagome asked curiously.
The group looked up at Inuyasha and Kagome.
Kaede rushed up to Inuyasha and grabbed him by the shoulders. "Inuyasha, someone has stolen the shikon no tama!"
Inuyasha's eyes widened. Kagome gasped.
"No, Kaede, that can't be right!" Kagome cried. "are you sure you didn't just misplace it? Where did you last leave it?"
"I know where I left it and I know that I did not misplace it, Kagome. Someone has stolen it!" Kaede cried.
"Well then what are all of you waiting for? We have to go and find it! Now come on!" Inuyasha barked, and, leaving Kaede to worry in her hut, the group took off, depending on Kagome to seek out the shikon jewel.
However, Kagome quickly got tired, and soon began to ride Kilala.
"Miroku...have you noticed that Kagome's already starting to show?" Sango asked Miroku quietly.
"Yes...if she's starting to show this soon, it may not be Inuyasha's..." Miroku replied worriedly.
Inuyasha could hear their conversation loud and clear, but he pretended that he couldn't.
Ginta and Hakkaku looked at the place where they had buried Koga all those months ago. The rest of the wolf pack looked on as well.
"We've got the jewel now, Koga! And we're going to bring you back so that you can continue leading our pack and make Lady Kagome your mate once again!" Ginta shouted as the wolves began digging up Koga's grave.
Hope you liked! Sorry it was so short, though. The next one will be longer!
