AUTHOR'S NOTE: What you've all been waiting for is going to be revealed in this chapter!!!! Why was Mikoto smiling?!?!?!?!?!?


A week past and finally Mikoto returned home. Kallani and I were outside in the garden waiting for him. He came back alone. I assumed Rin, Jaken, andSesshoumaru, had returned tothe taiyoukai's castle, or back to traveling. Mikoto swept me up into a big hug. "It's good to be back." he told me happily, "Do anything interesting while I was gone?"
"It was boring." Kallani said sighing, "Like always. Well maybe a little less boring." "How so?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Well Kyo and I played that game Kyo made for Rin." she explained, "And Kyo met Sanouskai in the gardens." "He's nice, isn't he?" Mikoto asked me. "Yeah." I agreed, "He is nice. But Kurozena wouldn't let me talk with him." He rolled his eyes. "Kurozena is into being very proper." Mikoto explained, "Just ignore her. She'll stop getting on your case after a while."
"That's what I told her." Kallani said nodding. "You didn't tell me the part about Kurozena stopping annoying me." I retorted. She laughed. "True." Kallani admitted, "But to warn you, she doesn't stop completely. She just stops trying to rule your life." "That's better than what she's doing now." I commented.
"She doesn't bother me." Mikoto put in. "That's because she can't." Kallani replied, "You're running this whole place!" "True." he said shaking his head. He looked over to me. "Will you walk with me?" Mikoto asked. "Sure." I replied. Kallani nodded towards us and walked back into the castle.
Mikoto led me into the gardens and we walked around in silence. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, in fact it was the opposite. We were both so relaxed. Now that I think back on it, it was a very cute scene too. I was resting my head on Mikoto's shoulder, while he rested his head on mine.I was very happy he was home and I think he was glad he was home too.
After about a half an hour of walking around the gardens we sat down on a bench in a garden full of sunflowers. I knew that the flowers bloomed at all times of the year because of Mikoto's mother, but it was still strange to see a flower that I associated with summer in full bloom in the middle of winter. It was nice.
"I have something to tell you Kyo." Mikoto said. I stopped looking at the flowers and looked at Mikoto. "What is it?" I asked. "Well I don't want to say this too bluntly..." he said trailing off. "Just say it." I prompted. I wasn't sure what to expect. Was it good? Was it bad? Would he have to leave again? Or perhaps it was worse than that.
"Are you sure?" Mikoto asked. "Positive." I replied. In all truth I really wasn't, but I had prepared myself for anything he could say. "You're pregnant." Except that. I stared at him, in amazement, unsure of what to say.
Mikoto laughed and hugged me. "I smelled it on you right before I left." he explained, "But I didn't want to tell you then. I wanted the time I told you to be special. And right now is as special as it's going to get." "Wow." I said grinning. I could hardly speak I was so amazed. "I'm so excited!" he told me, "We should start thinking about names! And what room the kid will have!"
"Aren't you going a little fast?" I asked him, "I mean we do have nine months to think about all this." "True." He agreed, "But it's never too early? Right?" I laughed. "As long as we know I'm going to have a baby, no, I guess not." I replied.
We both got up. I think I fainted.

The next thing I remembered was that I was lying on my bed and Mikoto was sitting on a chair next to it. "Too much excitement all at once?" he asked stroking my hair. I smiled up at him. "Yeah." I said noddling, "That's probably it. I sat up. "Careful." he warned, "I don't want you fainting again." "I won't." I assured him. "That's what I want to hear." he cooed. I rolled my eyes and stood up.
We met Kallani a bit down the hall. "You're up!" she said happily, "I'm so glad!" "You knew." I said smirking. "Yeah." she admitted, "And aren't you glad I didn't tell?" I thought about this for a moment. "Yeah." I replied, "I am."
All three of us began walking downstairs. "I think if it's a girl we should name her Medoriko!" Mikoto declared. "Really?" I asked, "I've heard that name before." "Of course you have." Kallani said nodding, "She's the one who made the Shikon no Tama." "Right." I replied grinning, "But she was also a priestess who killed demons. Why name our child after someone like that?"
"Because she only killed the trouble makers." Mikoto explained, "Us demons respect her, unless of course we're the trouble makers. But we're not the trouble makers. Medoriko was somewhat like your friend Sango. Hey, maybe we should name our child Sango? Or Kyo?" "What makes you think our child will be a girl?" I questioned, "What if it's a boy? And besides, I'll never name my child Kyo. My parents gave me that name out of hate. A little name for the child they cared little for."


Kagome: Ohh! That's so sad!!!

Miroku: What? The fact that Kyo's going to have a baby? I think that's wonderful news!

Kagome: No! The thing about Kyo's name.

Sango: Yeah, that was sad.

Shippo: Yay!!! Kyo's going to have a baby and I'll have a friend!!!

Inuyasha: But you'll have to wait about six years before the kid's worth playing with.

Miroku: Aren't we your friends Shippo?

Shippo: Yeah, but I meant a kid my age.

Kagome: You'll be older than Kyo's child.

Shippo: You're right.

Clear Waters: There you have it! The reason Mikoto was smiling!!!!!! R&R everyone!
