The Inu's Child
By: SGS
Kagome cried tears of joy and sorrow when Inuyasha laid her baby in her arms some time latter. She quickly went into super mom mode, and, with help from her mother, soon had Suteinu washed, fed, bandaged, and sleeping peacefully in his bed. She was sitting on her bead watching her son while he slept when Inuyasha came in.
He crossed the room silently, as not to disturb the sleeping child and sat on the bed next to Kagome. He pulled her gently into his lap and sat with his arms wrapped protectively around her. They stayed this way for a while, watching the tiny baby they had created together. Soon Inuyasha spoke.
"Do you regret this?" He asked calmly, his eyes never wavering from the sleeping form nestled safely in the bed. Kagome looked at him.
"I might have at one time." She said truthfully. "But now I'm just glad to have him. I mean God, Yasha, he's perfect."
"Kagome, do you think those men will try to take him away again?" He asked. She sighed.
"Yes, I sure they will. Suteinu doesn't belong in this world."
"Then come back with me! We can live where he dose belong, with me in my time!" Kagome shook her head.
"He may belong there, but I don't, I belong here." Inuyasha kissed her forehead.
"Kagome, you used to love my time, what made you change your mind?"
"When I realized how dangerous your time was."
"And yours isn't!?! Kagome Suteinu could grow up like a normal child there; he'd never be treated like a giant experiment!"
"You're what's so dangerous." Inuyasha was dumb-struck.
"M-m-me?" He stuttered. "What do you mean me?"
"I mean what I feel. Yasha I'm too young to give my heart away. And I'm afraid I gave it to you."
"So? Why is that so bad? Kagome I love you."
"But do you?" She whispered sadly. "When I told you I was going to have a baby you pushed me away, tried to get me to end it. Why? If not for the fact you just don't love me."
"But I do! I came to visit you didn't I? I rescued Suteinu, didn't I? Doesn't that count for anything!?"
"Yes, some. But Yasha, you acted like you didn't want me, you pushed me away and turned your back on me. Why?"
"Because I was afraid!" He almost yelled, but caught himself. "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you from Narrku. Kagome you're everything to me and I was scared I wouldn't be able to keep you or a baby safe."
"Yasha, I never knew you cared that much." Inuyasha flinched.
"Kagome, after all we went through, after everything we did together, after everything we shared, you still didn't know how much I love you?"
"How can I know something you've never told me?"
"You should have."
"How?"
"I don't know. Just say You'll come back with me, Kagome."
"Okay, Yasha. For Suteinu's sake."
On the Other Side of the Well...
"Good News, my Lord." The ugly green beast knelt at his master's feet.
"What is it Ukerimu, I grow weary for your presents."
"My Lord, our spies tell us the half-bread has a son." The toad-like creature raised his head slightly to look at his master shrouded in darkness.
"This is good," He replied in a raspy voice. "Have the child brought to me."
"As you wish my Lord." Ukerimu said as he scurried away to do his masters bidding.
The demon lord sat shrouded in the darkness, he hated light of all types. A blackbird sat on a black-wood perch beside him.
"Soon, my pet." He said, stroking the bird's feathers. "Soon we will pick the flesh form the half-breeds bones.
