Chapter fourteen: The promise
Inuyasha woke up early the next morning and, nearly, forgot that he and Kagome had a baby. He turned over to look into Kagome's face, but only got a face full of a baby. Gemini was laying on top of her father's face giggling.
"Alright kid. You are one day old. When are you going to move and get your own place? You're old enough right?" Inuyasha said in a goofy voice. He could hear giggling come from someone else besides Gemini. Kagome rolled over on her side and laughed at Inuyasha's goofy phrase.
"Gem won't be moving until she is eighteen unless she thinks she can handle it." Kagome said.
"What? That soon? Its too dangerous out there for her. She shouldn't move until she's married." Inuyasha said in a confused voice.
"Oh yea, that's right in this day you don't have the daughter's move until they are married." Kagome realized. Inuyasha got out of bed and picked up Gemini and gave Kagome a hand to lift her up. Kagome slowly pulled up and stood nearly loosing her balance from the pain in her stomach and the other place. Inuyasha helped her put her robe on over her night kimono. Kagome walked over, with Gem, to the baby bed and put on a baby outfit, from Kagome's time, to put on Gem. Gem started to frown a little and little tears welled up in her eyes. Kagome looked at her. "What? You don't like your baby outfit." Kagome asked. Kagome thought for a minute and realized. "Oh your hungry I'm sorry Gem. As Kagome fed Gem, Inuyasha sat on the bed and watched Kagome. Kagome leaned her head back on the chair and relaxed, sort of. A few minutes later she felt something tugging on her shirt.
"Are you don't Gem?" Kagome asked in a sweet cooing voice. Inuyasha got off the bed and walked over to them. He took Gem out of Kagome's arms so Kagome could get off the chair. She put on some silk slippers and walked out of their room with Inuyasha and Gem right behind her. Kagome walked down the two sets of stairs and went into the dining hall. Right as she walked in she took Gem from Inuyasha arms and walked over to Sango and her baby.
"Hey Sango, where's Miroku?" Kagome asked curiously.
"I think he went outside in the backyard for a walk. Inuyasha I think its time for you and Miroku to talk. I think he needs another male to talk to." Sango said. Inuyasha nodded and followed Miroku's scent outside.
"So what's you babies name Sango. Its obvious that he is a boy because he is dressed up in black and blue Jacket." Kagome said.
"His name is Shshoni." Sango said. She looked down at her baby boy and smiled as he giggled and played with Gem.
"He is only about three weeks old and we decided his nick-name could be oni." Sango explained. She looked up at Kagome and smiled. Kagome smiled back. She put gem on her lap and same a Sango. Oni reached out to Gem and tapped her face a little. Unlike a normal child that would cry Gem reached out her hand and Oni slightly grabbed it. Sango and Kagome laughed together.
"Would that be so cool if they got married together when they grew up." Kagome asked.
"That could be arranged Kagome. You know in this age there are a lot of arranged marriages." Sango said. Kagome looked at her and shook her head slightly. She looked down at Gem and back up to Sango.
"I want her to marry for love like I have and you have. Would you want someone making you marry someone you could possibly hate or not want to be with? Not that Oni will be like that, but still?" Kagome asked.
"You know you are right. I would have never thought of that. I was to be arranged to marry a man in my village, but with the complication that he's six feet under…" Sango said sarcastically. Kagome and Sango laughed again.
"I wonder where those boys went?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha walked with Miroku around the maze of trees in his backyard. They were silent at first, but then they started to talk.
"Inuyasha, I want you to protect Sango and Oni for me." Miroku said very seriously.
"What the hell are you talking about Miroku? You're not going anywhere." Inuyasha said.
"If I get sucked into my hand, I don't want Sango to be alone. Her and Oni mean the world and my life to me. I don't want them to be unprotected. If something happens to me, Inuyasha, promise me that you will protect her." Miroku said.
"Miroku you're not-"
"PROMISE ME INUYASHA!" Miroku yelled. Inuyasha looked at him with a sad face on him.
"Alright, but you have to promise the same thing. Oh yeah, and no touching her if anything happened. Got it?" Inuyasha said.
"Alright, deal." Miroku said and smiled.
"You know Inuyasha I never really thought that you would ever admit your feelings to Kagome. I thought you would both just live miserable and then die miserable. You guys are very lucky that you live forever together. Sango and I only have, what, fifty years left?" Miroku said.
"Hey fifty years is a lot. Especially if your pinned to a fucking tree all that time. I doubt that I'll live longer than that though. For some reason I have a feeling Kagome will out live me, but not by much." Inuyasha said.
"Maybe you guys will have all the demon traits and you won't die from disease, but maybe you'll die at a human age. Well never mind because your like what one hundred and some odd years old now? Maybe your not supposed to out live Kagome and she is going to die right after you. Why are we talking about this. Lets talk about our cute little kids we finally have." Inuyasha was very happy to change the subject to something like his little baby girl.
"I will have to protect my baby girl from all those bad demons out there and little future perverts name Oni.
"Hey I resent that. Maybe my son will be a lot better than me. That would be a good thing I guess. I wonder what they'll be like when they grow up. It will be a great and one of the hardest journies ever."
"Yep. I can't wait until Gem can talk and walk. I'll take her everywhere. I will have so much fun with Gem and Kagome. It'll be interesting to see how Sango and Kagome Change too."
"We'll have to wait and see." Miroku said.
Inuyasha woke up early the next morning and, nearly, forgot that he and Kagome had a baby. He turned over to look into Kagome's face, but only got a face full of a baby. Gemini was laying on top of her father's face giggling.
