Unexpected Lullabies

Chapter 6

Kouga was lost in the pleasure of the most graphic early morning masturbation session that he had ever had in his life. The night before he was able to hold off, but when morning came, his need became overwhelming.

He lay down on his side of the bed and reached around the medium sized bulge of his stomach, and quickly palmed his hard cock with one hand then slid it down to cup his balls. He kneaded his balls and felt the air leave his lungs in a rush. He moved his hand up from his balls to his cock, trailing his fingertips over the hot, sensitive skin before making a fist and stroking himself up and down. Then he used his free hand to pinch at his tender nipples.

He was breathing heavily and his hand worked vigorously over his erection and his eyes firmly shut, conjuring in his mind the image of the one person who had induced his current state. 'Stupid mutt.' He thought slightly angry because the half demon seemed to be the only one his body and mind desired. Inuyasha, the one who had the nerve to not only grind against him and bring him and his own self to an orgasm, but to then turn and run away like a coward after he got what he wanted.

He was still unhappy that Inuyasha acted as if being with him was the most revolting thing that could ever happen but no matter how angry or unhappy he was at the hanyou, his need to be pleased by Inuyasha and only Inuyasha, exceeded every other emotion he had. Now in his mind Inuyasha was doing a lot more than grinding against him. Kouga never knew that he had such an excellent imagination, as he pictured every inch of Inuyasha's flesh, imagined how it would be to move his body against the half demon's and how the inu's body would move against his, or how Inuyasha's lips would feel wrapped around his hard length.

"I wanna push you on your back and suck you off," Kouga groaned as he imagined Inuyasha telling him what he wanted to do to him "And then I'd turn my body around and push my length into your mouth . . . all the way back into your throat."

Kouga groaned louder, as he pinched his nipple hard and tugged at it, "I'm gonna be in your mouth so deep that you're gonna taste me for days," Kouga growled as he kept his thoughts on Inuyasha, "I'd suck you deep then I'd wet my finger and slowly push it in your ass."

Kouga could envision himself pushing against Inuyasha's finger, trying to get it deeper while he sucked the hanyou hard and deep.He arched his back off the bed as his hips bucked furiously up into his hand, and even though he had never willingly been with a male before he was not averse to the idea of being with Inuyasha. With that thought he began to work himself a little harder. He didn't know if he thought Inuyasha to be beautiful, but the half-demon had the most wonderful set of golden eyes and silver hair that Kouga had ever seen.

Now he could feel his body peaking, begging and aching for release. He began to call out softly, "Inuyasha . . . Inuyasha."

He could feel his stomach harden and his legs began to shake. He came with a hoarse shout of Inuyasha's name and hot semen splashed onto his stomach and chest. He was panting and his belly was so hard that it hurt. Kouga groaned and rolled over to his side trying to relieve some of the pressure that had build up. He wrapped his arms around his stomach and froze as he noticed that there was an indent on Inuyasha's side of the bed and it was still a little warm.

He rose up and glanced over the room hoping that Inuyasha had not seen or heard what he had just done. He thought about the feelings that he had last night as he searched the room, it was like some sort of energy that fulfilled him and he could have sworn he was dreaming about Inuyasha holding him. But there were no signs of the half-demon.

Kouga's stomach was still hard and it was very uncomfortable for him to move. He got up and made his way slowly to the hot spring just outside the village. Once he sat down in the hot soothing water, and let his body soak for a few moments, the hardness of his stomach began to go away. That's when he felt one or both of the cubs inside of him roll over and kick out against his stomach. The kick was so hard it almost making him choke. He smiled happily and he sat back with his hands caressing his tummy.

It felt strange to have them inside of him but he loved it every time he felt them move or kick. He finished his bath and got dressed. Kouga walked back to the village hoping everyone else would be awake and breakfast would be ready.

Inuyasha jumped down from the branch he quietly sat on and watched as Kouga left the hot spring. He was more confused now than he had ever been about things. He thought about all the things that had happened between the two of them and wondered if what he had witnessed this morning was real.

Flash back

Inuyasha turned his head just in time to see Kouga's back as the wolf prince left the lodge. He wasn't trying to ignore Kouga, he was just afraid that he would not want to be involved sexually with anyone so soon after the rape. He thought things were going fine when Kouga let him hold him and comfort him during the night. Then when the morning came they shared a moment and he thought Kouga broke down, it was too soon to try to be intimate. He started to feel guilty and ran away.

That night he hardly spoke to Kouga, mistaking that the frustrating smell that Kouga gave off was because the wolf prince was irritated at him and did not want him around. He made sure he didn't push things any farther by asking about Kouga's and the cubs well being. When Kouga left, he waited for a long while and then excused himself too. When he arrived at his lodge, Kouga was curled up on his side asleep. He stood there silently observing everything about the wolf demon.

First he noticed that Kouga had changed from his day robe to the night robe that he had to wear due to his expanding middle. He could also see that Kouga had let his sleek, long, black hair hang loose and it was lying on the bed behind him. Inuyasha stepped up closer to the bed and held his gaze on Kouga's face hoping that the wolf demon would not wake up. He knew the young wolf prince was a great leader and warrior, but now looking at down at him he thought how innocent and fragile Kouga looked at the moment.

Inuyasha walked around the bed and as quietly as possible without waking Kouga, he climbed in. At first he lay there just listening to the soft breathing coming from Kouga, then he began to get sleepy himself. He turned to his side but didn't touch the sleeping wolf prince he just watched the back of him. He kept his distance hoping that his presence alone was enough, not to make the cubs or Kouga fall ill again and then he let sleep claim him.

Sometime during the night Inuyasha woke up and Kouga's head was on his shoulder tucked under his chin and the wolf prince was spooned against him. He couldn't believe that Kouga was still asleep and softly snoring. He tightened his grip around Kouga and lay there for a while as he pressed his chest flat against Kouga's back. He slowly poked one of his legs through the wolf demon's trying his best not to wake him. Kouga never made a sound or moved from his position. Inuyasha reached down and softly stroked his belly and when he realized that Kouga was not going to wake up or move from his position he too fell back to sleep.

Inuyasha woke up in the morning and felt his hard length pressed against Kouga's thigh. He was thankful that the wolf prince was still asleep because he now had a problem he needed to take care of and fast. He desperately wanted to try for a repeat performance from the day before with Kouga but didn't want to upset the wolf demon again. Sighing, Inuyasha gently got out of the strange embrace and headed to the forest to relieve himself.

It had taken longer that he anticipated for him to get himself off and when he returned to the lodge he heard his name being whispered over and over again. Inuyasha casually walked up to the door of the lodge and opened it easily not to make any noise. He slipped in and watched with fascination as Kouga stroked himself and came calling out his name. He watched as creamy cum splashed onto Kouga's protruding belly and chest and his own shaft began to stir again. He turned around as fast and as quietly as possible and then left the lodge.

He was able to climax in no time at all as he sat in one of the trees above the hot spring just outside the forest. As he lay down on the branch he heard and smelt Kouga coming toward him. The wolf prince looked to be uncomfortable as he undressed.

Inuyasha couldn't help but stare at Kouga as he stood next to the hot spring naked. He had seen plenty of nude men before, while living in the village but Kouga was different somehow. For one he had a tail that seemed to have a mind of its own, as it wiggled from left to right. And he also had a small pregnant belly that he rubbed with his hands. His skin was dark, almost copper and his hair shone blue-black in the early morning sun, and hung down just past the middle of his back. Inuyasha couldn't deny that he found the wolf demon attractive now, and he wanted so badly to jump down and talk to Kouga but he wasn't sure how the pregnant demon would feel about him seeing him naked or invading what seemed to look like a private moment. So he watched as Kouga bathed and waited to make sure the wolf demon was okay, before jumping down and heading back to the village.

End Flashback

Inuyasha wasn't used to being wanted by anyone so he was very confused. He didn't know what to think. Kouga had called out his name in the heat of passion. He wondered if he was okay with them being intimate now? He walked back to the village with confused thoughts. Maybe it was time he talked to Kouga.

Kouga walked into Sango and Miroku's lodge but Sango was the only one there. She told him that the guys were out hunting and Miki was out bathing the cubs and that Shippo, Kirara was with them. She offered him some breakfast and sat down to eat with him.

"How are you feeling?" She asked making small conversation.

"Good." He answered back as he ate his rice ball covered with something that she called may-o-nase. She told him that Kagome had left enough things for them to eat, to last them for the rest of the year.

"How does that taste to you?" Kouga nodded and smiled, "I like the green little packets, they are sweet." She said of the relish.

Sango then poured hot water in two bowls of noodles and passed one to Kouga. She offered him all sort of different kinds of packets and he chose the one that said 'syrup' on it.

"I have some cooked liver if you want that too. It tastes so good with the noodles" she offered and he nodded his head.

They chopped the liver into bite size bits and put them into the noodles. Kouga added the syrup, and some may-o-nase, stirred it up and ate it. Sango had her noodles and liver with relish, and ketchup.

"What did you say these little packets were called again?" Kouga asked taking another bowl of ramen and adding hot water.

"Kagome told me they were condom-bits. They are things people used in her time to add flavor to food." She also made another bowl of ramen.

"This is really good."

Sango jumped up happily, "She also left some jars with some stuff called peanut butter in it," she grabbed the jar and opened it and held it out to Kouga "Try some."

Using his eating utensil to dip into the peanut butter and shoved it into his mouth. It stuck to the roof of his mouth so he slurped up some of the soup from his ramen bowl. The two mixed together made a wonderful combination to his taste buds so he spooned out some more out of the jar and mixed it in with his noodles, liver, and syrup.

Sango made her own concoction of noodles, liver, relish and peanut butter. By the time the others reached the lodge both Kouga and Sango had eaten a full jar of peanut butter, five bowls of noodles each, numerous packets of condiments and the liver they were suppose to share with the others for lunch that day.

When Miroku, Ginta and Hakkaku entered the lodge with several fish they had caught on their hunt, Sango quickly jumped up and grabbed two of the fishes from them she offered one to Kouga, who ate his raw, after he added a packet of mustard and strawberry jam to it, and she placed hers on a stick and began to cook it.

Miki came back in and her stomach lurched along with the others as they witnessed the two pregnant people eating the most horrible smelling and awful looking things they had ever seen. Inuyasha was the only one to groan and fuss about them eating the ramen but no one else said a word or ate for that matter.

That night he waited again for Kouga to go to sleep and crept into bed with him.

A week past and Inuyasha kept sneaking into bed with Kouga every night, and would wake up and remove himself from whatever embrace Kouga would have him in and leave. Kouga began to grow weaker by the day and he was moody toward everyone except Sango because she was the one who kept him fed. When Kouga hit his third month, he started to take more and more naps. Everyone began to worry when they noticed that he was putting up a front about his and the cubs' health.

Kouga became more sullen and withdrawn and kept to himself more than ever and Inuyasha hardly ever saw him. The other wolf demons mentioned that he looked almost scared, like something bad was happening to him, but he would just tell them he was just fine, however he was afraid for the cubs because he hadn't felt them move in quite some time.

Kaede gave him check-ups with the help of Miki and once again he was told that the cubs' heartbeats were dropping. That is then Miki and Sango questioned Inuyasha about his relationship with Kouga. Inuyasha looked down in shame and told them about everything that had been happening between the two of them. The two females screamed and yelled at him for being so stupid and stubborn. Miki told him that he should have stayed with Kouga and seen if he was all right, not just run away and Sango told him that he should have never said that he would never touch Kouga again because now he probably thinks he is unwanted. Inuyasha felt guilty for hurting Kouga and after Sango and Miki were done yelling at him he found himself alone with his guilty thoughts.

Over thenext week Kouga had notice the hanyou watching over him, and when he would try to catch his eye, Inuyasha would quickly divert his attention elsewhere or walk away. Kouga wasn't sure what to think of his weird behavior but when he saw the hanyou turn away from him, for some reason he felt hurt and began to think that Inuyasha really did hate the fact that he was carrying his cubs. Those feelings caused him to doubt everything, and he had the urge to cry but didn't. Instead he let his hurt turn to anger and uncertainty.

Everyone else watched Kouga and Inuyasha, wondering what was going on with the two of them. They would often catch one of them staring at the other or in some uncomfortable stance when they were near each other. In the days that followed Kouga was starting to be crabby with everyone, starting arguments and apologizing throughout the day and Inuyasha would usually be seen with his ears laying flat against his head, miserable.

One night everyone sat down for dinner. Inuyasha still hadn't got up the courage to talk to Kouga and Kouga was just too stubborn to talk to him. For the first ten minutes or so dinner was a quiet event then out of now where Kouga started complaining. It didn't bother anyone until he started telling everyone in the room his opinion about a certain hanyou.

"It seems that your precious half breed friend thinks he is too good to be with the likes of me" Kouga said glaring Inuyasha dead in his eyes.

There were gasps and coughs heard through the room and Inuyasha looked shocked but tried his best to hide it, "What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked trying his best to stay calm, "You are the one who freaked out when I tried to touch you."

This made Kouga jumped up and spilled some of his food onto the floor, "When was the last time you tried to touch me? I let you hold me and . . . " He paused to think about what to say, " . . . and when you got what you wanted you told me that you would never touch me again." He was yelling now.

"Kouga, calm down." Hakkaku said. Everyone else began clearing their plats away. They were wise enough not to say a word to the hormonal wolf prince and waited for him to explode from what Hakkaku had just said.

"I won't fucking calm down!" Kouga roared, causing Hakkaku to step back, " He thinks he is too good to be with me, to help me. He thinks he can use me for his own needs and then run away!" Kouga walked up to Inuyasha who was also standing by now and gave the hanyou the most hateful, and hurtful look he could, "What makes you think I even want to be with you?" Kouga turned around and grabbed his food off the table along with a jar of peanut butter, "You are nothing but a coward!" With that said he stormed out of the lodge.

Inuyasha growled, wanting so badly to tell Kouga off but he could sense a lot of different emotions coming from the wolf demon and knew he was upset above all else. Inuyasha looked over at Miroku and Sango with pleading eyes.

"Go after him, dummy." Sango yelled.

Inuyasha stared at the door Kouga had just left out of, "I don't know what to do any more."

Miki shook her head and walked over to Inuyasha, "Go after him and make him feel better."

The guys in the lodge stared at him wondering what the hell was going on, but also agreed that he should go after Kouga, because they were tired of being on the receiving end of his crazy mood swings.

Inuyasha wasn't sure he wanted to go after Kouga right at the moment because he didn't know what the wolf demon would do to him. He slowly left the lodge and followed Kouga's scent which led to their own lodge. Once he was outside the door he could hear his name mixed with a variety of curses that he had never heard before, and things being slammed.

Inside Kouga was pulling everything he could get his hands onto into a small duffle like bag. He had no idea where he was going to go, but it didn't really matter. Just away from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha placed his hand on the door and opened it. He walked inside the lodge cautious of Kouga and calmly asked, "What are you doing?"

Kouga narrowed his eyes and threw his empty jar of peanut butter at him hitting him in the shoulder. He stood there breathing hard and shouted, "What the hell does it look like I'm doing? I am getting as far away from you as I can so you won't ever have touch me again!"

Inuyasha eyes widened, "Listen to me, let me explain."

Kouga searched around for something else to throw at him and when he couldn't find any thing he started yelling again, "I didn't ask for this." He pointed at his stomach.

"I know you didn't. I'm trying to help you but you keep acting like you don't want me around you." Inuyasha took a brave step forward.

"How are you helping me? You ignore me and think you're too good for me." Kouga was still yelling

"Kouga." Inuyasha called out to him as he took a deep breath, "I don't think that I am too good for you."

"Then why in the hell did you run away from me? You acted like what we did disgusted you so much that you had to go and tell me that you would never touch me again and then you acted like I didn't even exist," Kouga's voice was still raised as stormed over and he stood as close as he could to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was afraid but he stood his ground, "I thought I forced you." his voice was full of regret; "I thought it was too soon for you after you had been raped." He held his head down hoping Kouga would understand.

Kouga let out a slow breath thinking about what Inuyasha had just said. He realized they had both mistaken about the reaction of the other, "I let you hold me because the cubs needed it." His voice now normal. He watched as Inuyasha nodded his head and then he added, "I wanted it."

Inuyasha slowly raised his head and looked into Kouga's blue eyes, "I'm sorry that I made you feel unwanted. I've been there for you... whether you know it or not."

Kouga looked confused, "What are you talking about? How?"

"I sleep with you every night. I leave before you wake up so that I won't upset you."

Kouga remembered feeling a warm indent on Inuyasha's side of the bed and his mouth dropped open. He was speechless and embarrassed. Inuyasha could sense that Kouga was feeling uneasy and knew he had to do something.

"I need to go." Kouga said stiffly not wanting to start having any feelings for the half-demon and have or be abandoned by him again. He tried to back away but Inuyasha stopped him.

"I'm sorry." Inuyasha repeated softly, " I didn't mean to make you feel unwelcome in my home. I just thought . . . "

Inuyasha watched Kouga's face hold a mixture of emotions . . . almost too many to count and he could tell above all else that the wolf prince was hurt. Hurt in a way that Inuyasha had never seen before. Kouga tried to hold his gaze but he could feel the urge to run away. Inuyasha held onto him and all he wanted to do was kiss away all the uncertainty, loneliness and pain he had caused Kouga. So he did.

Inuyasha moved over to lift and tilt his head before touching his lips to Kouga's own. The wolf prince did nothing at first, then gasped as he felt Inuyasha's tongue brush over his lips. Slowly their arms wrapped around each other as the kiss took on a life of it own. Their tongue met cautiously between them swiping against each other. Inuyasha reached to press his hand against the back of Kouga's neck but Kouga pulled away from the touch breathing shallowly.

"Are you going to run away again?" Kouga asked, their noses close enough to touch.

"No." Inuyasha lightly chuckled, " Does this bother you at all? Is it too soon?" He asked between hoping they could continue.

He watched as Kouga frowned, then extended a hand out him. "Give me your hand." Kouga said as he gasped out.

The half-demon looked puzzled, but gave him his hand anyway. Kouga grabbed Inuyasha by the wrist. "Keep your hand open"

Inuyasha opened his hand and stretched his fingers. Kouga slowly moved his hand to the side of his belly, then paused for a moment. "Do you feel that?"

Inuyasha smiled and nodded his head. Not only could he feel something bumping hard against his palm he could hear the heart beats of his little ones. "Wow" he whispered. He felt something brush by again, almost like a small wave, then it was gone. He didn't move his hand away and Kouga met his eyes then looked away.

"I'm okay with being with you." Kouga's voice was low, "I'm tired right now so I need to lie down."

Inuyasha nodded and suddenly gathered him up into his arms. He walked with Kouga in his arms never letting his eyes leave the ookami and gently lay the pregnant demon on their bed. He crawled in after and curled his body protectively around Kouga's, then both fell asleep.

Inuyasha woke instantly aware that it was morning and that he was still holding onto Kouga. And then he felt the weight of wolf's head on his shoulder, the warmth of his skin against his arm and he knew what had awakened him. Kouga's breath was warm against his neck and he felt his own breath catch in his throat as the wolf rolled onto his side. Kouga's arm curled around his waist and the full length of his body was pressed intimately against Inuyasha's.

Inuyasha looked down and realized Kouga was awake and watching him, and heat flooded his cheeks.

"Hi." Kouga said.

"Hi" Inuyasha said and smiled down at him, "Are you all right?"

"I still feel tired." Kouga let out a big yawn.

"Maybe you should eat something then come back to bed." Inuyasha ignored the tempting body pressed against him because he didn't want to rush Kouga into having sex . . . just yet.

Kouga was hungry so they got up and went to Sango and Miroku's for breakfast. Inuyasha and he kept giving each other small smiles and light touches that didn't go unnoticed by anyone. Later in the day, Mika and Sango begged Kouga to go with them and pick berries with them from the bushes in the back of their lodge. They both knew they were Inuyasha's favorite and that, the half demon would follow. Kouga decided it would be fun to go with them, and hoped it would at least get his mind off of wanting Inuyasha so badly.

Inuyasha eyed Kouga from a short distance and stood noticing every movement the wolf prince made. Kouga stopped at a berry bush and Inuyasha watched him bend down awkwardly due to his stomach being in the way and pick up a handful. Inuyasha's mouth watered as he watched Kouga pop a few of the purple berries into his mouth. He watched as Kouga's tongue slid over his lips to lick up the juice. 'Damn' He could fell his body ache with wanting Kouga so he turned his back to the wolf demon. A few minutes later he felt Kouga's presence behind him.

"Do you want some berries?" Kouga asked.

Inuyasha turned to face the wolf. Kouga held out his hands, which were filled with purple berries, but the one that was in his mouth that drew the hanyou's attention. Kouga's lips were red with juice.

"Thanks," Inuyasha said his voice gruff.

Kouga watched him eat a few and wondered what Inuyasha would do if he licked the juice from the corner of his mouth. Their gaze met. The hanyou must have read his thoughts because he moved his head slowly toward the wolf prince's, giving Kouga plenty of time to back away if he wanted too. Kouga never moved and then it was too late. Inuyasha's mouth closed on his.

Inuyasha didn't close his eyes and neither did Kouga. For a moment the wolf-demon stood rigid in Inuyasha's arms nervous that the others were watching them, but the kiss was too tempting.

Inuyasha's hands moved slowly up and down his back and with a sigh Kouga's eyelids fluttered close and he surrendered to the sensations that swept through him. The hanyou's arm tightened around Kouga's shoulders until his upper body, was pressed against his.

Inuyasha moved through the village to his lodge, never letting his lips leave Kouga's and they walked around the small building and fumbled with the door.

"Where did they go?" Sango asked when she looked around. She never noticed that they had left.

"There, they are trying to get into their lodge." Miroku came around from the opposite direction Kouga and Inuyasha went, making a funny looking face as he thought about two males kissing, "They look like they made up."

Both ladies looked at each other and smiled, knowing their plan to get the two of them together had worked .

Kouga had wrapped his arms around Inuyasha's neck as the hanyou lifted him up, walking to the front door of their lodge their tongues still entwined. It took Inuyasha four tries to get the door opened, as Kouga's hands were too busy trying to get his shirt open. When both succeeded at their task Inuyasha kicked the door closed behind him and they clumsily made their way to the bed.

They sat up on the bed and Inuyasha undressed his new mate hastily and threw the clothing over his shoulder not caring where it landed. Kouga sucked in a wild breath of ecstasy when the hanyou dipped his head low and flicked his tongue across one of his tender nipples. He threw his head back in total submission as Inuyasha showered both of his nipples with electrifying kisses and licks, then brought his lips to his and gave the wolf prince a deep, long passionate kiss. At the same time he pressed his body against his mate, until the wolf was on his back on the bed, careful not to add too much pressure to Kouga's belly.

Inuyasha kissed him for a moment longer then rose over Kouga and removed his own clothes. When Inuyasha was as naked as Kouga was, the wolf saw how gifted the hanyou was. He glanced at Inuyasha's maleness then brazenly reached a hand to him and touched him. Inuyasha eyes glazed over with rapture as the wolf demon ran his fingers slowly up and down the full length of his shaft.

"Kouga, I want more than touches and kisses from you." Inuyasha said taking his hand away from himself, "I want to fill you. I want you to feel me fill you."

Kouga sucked in another breath. He thought for sure that Inuyasha and he would just have quick satisfying sex and be done with it. But the look in the hanyous eyes made him think that he was going to give him more, by making love to him. He never could have though the half-demon would really say those words he had only imagined Inuyasha saying. It was weird but exciting at the same time.

Inuyasha ran his hand down the front of him breaking him from all his thoughts. The wolf-demon closed his eyes when Inuyasha moved his body over his. The half demon smiled and lowered his lips to the wolf prince's and kissed him as one of his knees eased his legs apart. Inuyasha could feel Kougas tail between his legs brushing against the back of his thigh.

Inuyasha's hand trail down his body massaging every inch of skin it touched. When he reached the wolf's erect penis, he paused. "If you don't want this, tell me to stop."

Kouga looked up at him through his dark blue eyes and his lips slightly parted, "Don't stop."

(Censored)

Kouga looked up at Inuyasha, his eyes clouded with spent passion, his lips lightly swollen form kissing, his expression was that of a man who had been well and truly pleasured. Then they both realized that the cubs were awake and moving around inside of Kouga, but Kouga gasped when he realized he could actually hear their heartbeats and smell their scent.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He voice was low and shaky as he questioned Inuyasha when he could finally sense what sex their cubs were.

"Tell you what?" Inuyasha looked down at him.

"That we were having two girls. I can sense it, smell it, and hear their heartbeats."

Inuyasha slowly removed himself from Kouga's body and lay down next to him. "I wasn't sure if you wanted to know. We haven't been on talking terms much since you got here."

Kouga nodded with understanding and curled up with his head on Inuyasha's chest, "Does it make you unhappy, that the cubs are girls and not boys?"

Inuyasha hadn't thought about the sex of his offspring, he was mostly concerned about their well being, "No. Not at all." he answered honestly.

Inuyasha could feel Kouga smile into his chest and he covered them with a blanket. Kouga getting some his senses back wasn't the only thing that happened that afternoon. The wolf-demon no longer had any traces of Kagome's smell lingering on him.

Kagome sat at the bottom of the well crying. Her mother came out to the well house to speak with her.

"How did it go this time Kagome?" She asked the young miko

"I made it half way through this time." She cried out in frustration. "Why didn't I stay a little longer? I shouldn't have rushed back so soon."

"You didn't have a choice. If you hadn't wished upon the jewel then something or someone evil would have gotten a hold of it. You did the right thing."

Kagome climbed out of the well and fell into her mother's arms. "I wanted to be here with you, grandpa and Souta. I didn't think I could handle being in such a primitive place for the rest of my life. Now my life is ruined. I need him mother."

"You said you were able to get half way through today. You are getting farther than you did a month ago. Give it time before too long you will be able to get all the way through and see Inuyasha again."

"I know but I want so badly to see him now. I need him, he needs to know he is going to be a father."

"Your miko powers and the strength of the child growing inside of you will allow you to almost pass through the well right now. You are only three months along, I am sure once the baby grows so will his strength and you will make it through to tell him."

Kagome looked up at her mother and gave her a teary eyed smile, "I know you're right I will give it a little more time before I try again.

The two women hugged each other and headed back into the shrine.

Thank you Miuy-Chan and American Rose for all you help with my stories

Thank you to every one who reviewed. Let me know how you like the little cliff hanger at the end and the way we brought Kagome back into the story. It was my husbands ideal to do it that way so let me know if you like his idea.
