The Third Family
Author's Note- Been a while, hasn't it? Sorry! I've been a bit busy with other things and other stories. Oh well. Enjoy!
Later that day whild spending some quite time with Mikoto, the subject of that afternoon's activities was brought up. "I saw Inuyasha running around covered in feathers today." he commented, "Know anything about it?"
I laughed. "Yeah." I replied, "A little too much."
Mikoto raised an eyebrow. "Do tell." he prompted.
"I set up the trap that put the maple syrup and feathers on him." I told Mikoto.
"Why?"
I shrugged. "Shippo and Inuyasha had it set up at Kurozena's door." I explained, "I didn't want to think of what would happen if the prank had gone off on her, so I took it down and put it back up on Inuyasha's door."
Mikoto laughed. "Serves him right." he said hugging me, "It must have been very funny." My mate's fingers lingered over my large belly. "Our child should be coming soon."
I looked at him surprised. "But it's only been a little more than two months!" I insisted, "It takes nine months."
"For a human, yes." Mikoto agreed, "But for a demon it only takes 3."
I swear my eyes almost popped out. "What!" I exclaimed.
"Are you upset?" he asked a little uneasily.
"No." I said shaking my head, "Just suprised."
"Good." Mikoto answered grinning, "You got me a little scared there."
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright... So how's the ball going?"
"Pretty good." I admitted, "Everything's ready. Now we just have to wait for the guests to arrive and start it!"
Mikoto laughed. "Sounds good to me." he said.
Later that day I finally got to have some time alone with Sango and
Kagome. I hadn't realized how much I had missed them. It had just been
too long. Kallani was also with us. It was a girl time.
"So," I said grinning mischieviously at Kagome and Sango, "How's it going with your boys?"
Both blushed, but Sango was the first to reply. "Miroku's not my 'boy'." she said, "He's a pervert who likes to grab my butt."
"And Inuyasha still likes Kikyo." Kagome put in.
Deciding to reply to Sango first, I turned to her. "I don't know about
since I left, but before I left I noticed that Miroku wasn't groping
anyone but you anymore." Then I turned to Kagome. "Come on." I said
sighing. "You've told me you like Inuyasha. You can't deny that. And we
both know that even if he still likes Kikyo, she's still just his past."
"You're up to something." Sango accused.
I grinned and shrugged. "Not really." I answered, "It just feels a
little aquard for me to be the youngest of the group and first mated."
"True." Kagome agreed, "But that just makes you luck!"
"Yeah." Sango said, "It's not really an aquard situation. Aquard is
when Miroku and I have a nice moment and then the silence just before
he gropes me."
We laughed.
Kallani, who had been silent since the beginning finally spoke up. "Why
don't you guys stay a little longer than the ball?" she suggested, "I'm
sure Kyo would love to have your company as long as possible and I'm
sure you'd love to see her baby when he or she's born."
"I'd love to see Kyo's baby when it's born, but I'm not sure if we could stay here for seven months though." Kagome said sadly.
Kallani gave Kagome a weird look and I heard some information for the
second time that day. "What are you talking about? Kyo's baby will come
in a few weeks! Demon babies take much less time to be born than human
babies."
Sango nodded. "I remember hearing about that." she said.
"So you'll stay?" I asked.
"Of course!" Kagome replied happily.
Clear Waters: Short.
Inuyasha: You're damn right and I wasn't in it either!
Kagome: Come on Inuyasha! We're going to stay in the story to the end now!
Miroku: Yes. Thankfully.
Shippo: I'm excited! I can get Kyo to help me with more pranks for Inuyasha!
Inuyasha: What did you say runt?
Shippo: Nothing!
Inuyasha: Good!
Clear Waters: Read and Review everyone!
