Chapter twelve: Back

"You are correct Kagome-sama." A voice said from the corner of the room. Kagome turned around and pulled a blanket, that was on the bed, up to her neck. She squinted her eyes so she could see the person who spoke, but all she saw was a shadow.

"Hello." Said the voice right in her ear. She slowly turned her head saw Naraku sitting next to her. She bounced back and started to fall off the bed. Naraku caught her and pulled her up to him.

"Kagome, I want you." Naraku said. Kagome's eyes flew open and then she smacked him. She stood up and flipped off the bed. She rammed through the door and ran down the hall. She ran a fast as she could until she reached a long dark hall way. There were statues all around the hall way so she hid behind one. She could hear someone coming down the hall so she slowed down her breathing so who ever it was wouldn't hear her. She could see someone in red walking down the hall.

"Inuyasha!!!" Kagome screamed and ran out to him. Inuyasha turned around and looked her in the eyes and kissed her passionately. Out of the corner of her eyes right as she was about to pull away she saw Kagura taking a picture with a camera. Kagome looked up to Inuyasha, but it wasn't Inuyasha…It was Naraku.

"You shouldn't leave stuff, that we can figure out how to read, lying around." Naraku said. Kagome looked over at Kagura and saw the photo pop out of the camera. It landed in Kagura's hand and she saw what it showed. It showed Naraku and Kagome kissing. Kagome's eyes began to water. She punched Naraku in the face and ran at Kagura. Kagura leaped up into the air and floated. She was too slow to notice that Kagome was right behind her, and with her new demon powers, was a lot stronger. She sliced Kagura right through and snatched the picture. She tore it up as much as she could before she finally stopped and ran again. She ran all through the halls and out into the world. Kagome was running for her life and was not planning to stop anytime soon.



Kagome had been running for months and still could not figure out where she was. She hadn't seen Inuyasha in eight months now and she really missed him. She missed he family and she missed her friends. Kagome was always "Talking to herself" in the woods or some where out where ever she was. She had traveled through deserts and through big open fields. Her senses were great now and she could use them perfectly. Kagome stopped over by a river bank one day and decided she needed a bath. She had just bent slightly and then she felt a wetness in between her legs meaning one thing…The baby was due at any time. She decided not to take a bath, but decided to keep running. She did not want to have a baby where demons would attack her because of her moment of weakness, she had come to notice that demons thrive on killing birthing mothers. She ran for a few hours as the pain grew more and more fierce in her stomach. She went through a valley and started to realize where she was. She was about a mile away from her home. Kagome ran faster and got to the door steps in about six minutes because with a baby trying to come into the world it wasn't easy running. Kagome knocked on the great oak doors hard. A servant came and answered the door.

"May I help you madam?" Asked the servant.

"I live here." Kagome said in a low growl making the girl shudder. Kagome looked up to the servant and glared.

"Aren't you going to let me in or do I just have to have this baby on the steps?" Kagome said. The girl bustled out of her way and looked around.

"Umm the master is not here right now." The servant girl said.

"Well where the hell is he?!?!" Kagome screamed as she started to have another contraction.

"Well he sent another search party out looking for you. And lady Sango is upstairs putting her little one to sleep." The girl said.

"Sango's here?! Where? Tell her I need her right now and send someone out to get Inuyasha right now! Move!" Kagome ordered. She could here the girl running and giving orders to everyone in the castle.

"And Get some more lights lit. Dust the ceiling glass. Geez did you guys miss me that much?!" Kagome ordered some more. The girl ran and gave some more orders to more servants. More servants came out to help her get up to her room. She could here a loud clunk on what sounded like someone jumping down the stair case.

"Kagome!!!" Sango yelled and nearly jumped onto Kagome.

"Oh my gods where have you been?! Inuyasha hasn't slept since you were taken away. He hasn't eaten and he is just starting to look very old because he's not taking care of himself. He looks really ill to me. Last I saw him he was heading up into the mountains to ask Kouga if he's seen you. We've had two false alarms that you came back and you would always be able to tell he was coming because when he ran he would knock over trees and there would be loud rumbling noises coming." Sango said. Right after she had said this there could be a loud rumbling noise outside. It stopped after about five seconds. Sango and Kagome looked over the third story balcony to see Inuyasha walk through the door. Inuyasha turned his head side to side. He looked at the servant and he roared.

"Where is she?!?! This better not be a game because this has happened too many times!!!" Inuyasha roared at all the servants. Kagome giggled. Inuyasha heard and looked up. There she was. The most beautiful sight he had seen. Kagome was back and now he could be happy again. He jumped all the way up and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Uhh Inuyasha the only reason why I'm standing here is because I wanted to see you before I had this child and it is coming and at a fast pace." Kagome squealed. Inuyasha picked her up and carried her into their room and set her on a futon. Right when he laid her down a Kaede busted through the door with servants carrying a warm blanket, hot water and some ice for Inuyasha's hand after Kagome would squeeze the hell out of it. Inuyasha didn't realize this until too late. Kagome had his hand and nearly ripped it off. Inuyasha held ok though with out hurting too much.
