YEAH! It's a new Chapter! Readers after silent Coughs Ok this is the third Chpt. So enjoy it or else! does death glare and then Smile JUST KIDDING Does Evil smile.
Besides Kag and Inu's twins, Kouga and Ayame soon had their own bundle A year after Kag and Inu, she was named Alexandra Rose, born with orange hair and blue eyes. But due to difficulties during birth Ayame died soon after. Sango and Miroku's son was born after Kouga's daughter about a month afterwards. Since Sango had such a long labor, Miroku decided that he wouldn't endanger her life by trying to having another.
After Ayame's death Kouga was heart broken, but shortly after found a young wolf Youkia and she became his second mate. Their son was born a year and a half after Alexandra Rose: Kouga's daughter; he was name Mushra.
Kagome decided that she would try to conceive again but was fearful because in the last one she could of both Kiera and Kurama but Inuyasha encouraged her that they should give it another chance.
In a doctors office: December 30; Three years and seven months later
Kagome sat thinking about why the doctor was taking so long, the rainbow scarf around her neck now being to irritate her.
Why is that stupid doctor taking so long! She though. As the door creaked open Kagome's eyes darted to door, awaiting her doctor to enter. Unfortunate for Kagome, it was only her husband Inuyasha.
"So Kagome, Where's the doctor?" He asked grabbing her hand.
"Ummm, he said he be back in a minute..." She said, her voice drained of excitement. Kagome sighed heavily, her eyes now staying closed for a number of seconds. The doctor entered, Kagome could tell he was grinning fakely. "What's wrong!" She immediately asked. As she did so the doctor took his chair. He raised his head towards the ceiling, he removed his glasses and began to rub his eyebrows.
"Oh, Nothing's wrong Mrs. Higarashi... It's just that my last patient was a drug addict and well never mind, it was just discouraging..." He slacked back in his computer chair as he spoke, still rubbing his eyebrows. "Well, Whatch where for?" He asked, now leaning forwards in his chair.
"Well, I was just a little worried about my baby..." She said in a troubled voice. "Because in my last labor I passed-out..."
"Hmmm, that is a problem." He stated rubbing his chin. "How long did you last in labor?"
"I'd say about 5 hours." She said not completely sure.
"Hmmm, well I guess your body was drained," He guess. "And plus it was your first pregnancy so your body was just tired, so it shouldn't happen again." He encouraged her continuation in the pregnancy, after all she was already a month.
"Thank you so such!" She grinned broadly, her coat folded over her forearm.
Eight months later: August 22
Kouga looked to Kagome, she had fallen asleep on the couch. He sat down by her. With his right hand he wiped the flowing hair out of her face. He heard her moan slightly.
What does this remind me of? He asked himself trying to remember what was nagging him. He buried the thought and pinned Kagome's hair in a ponytail. Her face was blanch and she was sweating a bit. He merely ignored it and relaxed on the sofa. The peace didn't last long, Alex ran in, Kiera and Kurama not far behind. "Daddy!" Alex cried leaping into Kouga's arms.
"Ahhh, Uncle Kouga!" Kiera protested against Kouga's interference with their game of tag. "Shhh you three, Kagome's asleep..." He quieted down the twins and his wining daughter. "Alex, why don't you go play outside with Kaza and all them." He said concerned that they might awake Kagome. "Ok Daddy!" She agreed jumping out of her father's arms and ran out the door, the twins soon following.
Sango came down stairs, Kaza slightly weeping in her arms. She looked down at him lovingly and his almost silent cry diminished. "Sango-chan I sent Alex and the twins out, why don't you let Kaza out with them." He proposed. "Thanks Kouga-kun," She allowed Kaza to run freely from her arms.
"So Kouga why did you send them out?" She asked curious, since usually Kouga loved to play with the kids.
"Hey Sango- chan where's Mushra, I though you were watching him..." He completely ignored Sango's question.
"Inuyasha's taking a hand at taking care of a wolf pup." She answered.
"What you left him with my son!" Kouga asked panicked.
"No, not really but I was a nice story, dontch think?" She giggled at his meaningless panic. "Me and Inuyasha were watching him when he fell asleep, and well Inuyasha left after awhile. Shippo is up there with him right now." She said. "Hey Kouga, Kagome ain't lookin so good..." She said noticing Kagome pale face. "Yeah, I think she might go into labor soon..." He proposed this though.
"Why do you say that?" She asked.
"Well remember last time, she was sleepy and pale-faced before she went into labor." He reminded her.
"Yeah, Oh so you think we should get ready..." She asked. "Kouga?"
Kouga neglected her, he concentrated on Kagome.
"Hey Kouga, what's wrong?" She tapped him on the shoulder. He continued his ignorance towards her. Kouga approached Kagome. He didn't pay attention till Mushra's weeps rang though his ears. He looked to Sango first, with his blue eyes he begged her to go and tend to Mushra. She got up and just knocked her head side to side as she climbed the stairs.
He watched her intensely, only taking a moment to blink. Her moans became mildly louder, to the point were Kouga knew she would go into labor soon. A few seconds afterwards Kagome opened her eyes. She looked over to Kouga. Just as before her eyes lazed and near closing.
"Hey Kag, your not lookin so good." He said.
"Kouga, I'm fine... I'm just in a little pain." She gave him a small smile. "Ummm, Kouga-kun I think the baby's coming..." She rested her hand on her bloated stomach. He didn't seemed fazed, he forced her to lean back. Her now breath paced like she had just done a marathon.
Maybe I should take her to a doctor this time... He though as he knelt there by her. Again Kouga was worried by her coursing sweat but her water hadn't broken yet so they were still in the clear, for awhile at least.
Worries where still running clearly though Kagome's thoughts. Would she pass out again, would she lose this child,
During her first pregnancy she had such a fear and this fear had become true in her daughter: Kiera. Kiera had lambent white hair, like freshly fallen slush. And dog ears the same as her stubborn father. She had no such fear with her son: Kurama, he had ebony hair like his mothers, and the white tips on his bangs he had acquired at birth still remanded as did Kiera's charcoal tips remain.
Was it at all possible that Kagome's third child to be born with white hair and dog ears? Kouga pondered, having the same thoughts as Kagome. He looked to her discouraged, she again looked drained of all her energy. And to Kouga that was quite unusual, for the Kagome he knew always had energy. Energy to play with her twins and even take care of Mushra and Alex when he got the flu and such, and now she looked sapped of it all. Kagome going against Kouga's best wishes, took her hand at standing.
She soon learned that it is possible for moments in time to repeat themselves.
And again like in the first, Kagome's water broke. Kouga immedatly took her in his open arms, he gently set her down, trying to avoid injuring her. He looked fanatically around the room, awaiting for one of the others to come crashing into the room; as they usually did this time of the day. But at the same time Kouga had realized that Inuyasha and Miroku had gone to the store or such and wouldn't be back for a few hours. The only people that were here at this moment was Sango and Shippo, and even Kouga knew that the teenage kistune couldn't handle Mushra all by his lonesome. He needed Sango's help and Shippo couldn't tend to Mushra by himself.
He had a to get Sango's help, or Kagome wouldn't live though the labor and neither would Kagome's unborn Child.
"SANGO-CHAN!" He called out. "Kagome needs you RIGHT NOW!" He searched around the room for the necessities: Washcloth, A warm blanket in which to wrap the new pup, and a dash of Luck. As Kouga search the area for the objects, Sango came sprinting down the stairs, and came to Kagome side.
Kouga, with objects in hand, pushed Sango aside.
Kagome snarled as kouga took the time to place his stuff aside. "Kagome." He said lightly, in a feeble attempt to hide his fear for her and her pup's life.
His words only increased her frustration, she took the back of her hand and painted it's stingy wrath across his cheek. He knelt unfazed by the painful smack. He closed his eyes gingerly, ignoring the sense of pain in his cheek. The only evidence of the smack was that hand print still painted upon his cheek. Sango looked to him concerned, if Kagome's anger would progress any further Kouga wouldn't last long with this pain hiding demeanor.
He only took a second to remove a tear that was being to stream on his cheek. Kagome saw the gleaming reflection of the water formation in the left side of his eye, the flaming fury of her pain was no longer blazing, now she felt bad that she had done so.
What had Kouga done? Kagome questioned her actions. The only thing he had ever done was love me and care for me. She recalled the days when Kouga always seemed like the perfect mate for her, he gave her want she want and was open with his emotions towards her, unlike Inuyasha that always seemed reluctant even just to have her lean her head on his shoulder.
Even after I was married Kouga remained my loyal friend and companion, always there to comfort me when Inuyasha knew not what to do. She recalled her stress during the first stages of her marriage, he was always there, was a shoulder to lean and cry on when she need it.
And when seemed hopeless in my labor he encouraged me to continue: to give it all I had and even when I had nothing left, to continue giving something I didn't have. She in her heart knew that this birth wouldn't be any easier that the one before but like Kouga had told her before it would all be in the end when she be holding her new baby.
The intense sense of pain filled Kagome once more and now instead if flaming anger, she began to bawl, the tears came flowing steady and heavily. Kouga looked at her concerned, he swept her with his gentle blue eyes and gave her the old Kouga smirk. She took a moment to give him a small smile back, but soon the over welling tears covered her face once more.
Kouga gave her a stern look, he put on hand behind her head and rubbed her stomach with the other. He slowly blink, His radiate blue eyed filled with emotion. He leaned towards, taking her in his strong arms, he smoothly combing his fingers though her radial mane of ebony hair.
"Shhh, Kagome..." He quieted her sobs. "Everything will be alright."
"Yes I know, Soon I'll be holding my baby." Kagome pushed Kouga away and prepared herself physically and mentally for the strenuous birth ahead.
"Hia," He smiled broadly. "Ok push on three, One, Two, Three: PUSH!" He commanded. She pushed hard and the coursing perspiration, steamed like her tears had once.
Five hours later
"Ok Kagome on more good push, and that should do it." Kouga urged her. She took a deep breathe and gave another strenuous push. Finally after hours of pushing the baby's cries filled the house.
"Oh Kagome, it's a beautiful baby Girl!" Sango gushed over the newborn. Kouga had no worry this time, Kagome was perfectly conscious: At least for that time being. Kouga rose and went to were Sango stood rocking the baby.
"Oh, Kagome... She's a beauty." Kouga said playing with the baby's hair.
"Kouga, can you bring her here?" She pleaded for her infant. Kouga took the small girl from Sango's arms and took her to where Kagome was laying. Kagome gasped when she saw her. She is beautiful! Kagome said to herself taking the baby in her arms.
Her hair was ebony, and she didn't have Inuyasha's ears. Although Kagome loved her Beloved hanyou's ears, they made Kiera different, and in this era and the Feudal era being Different was a very bad! Her ears were completely human, round and not the slightest sight of point on them, but not so human were her eyes: Like both her siblings she had the golden honey eyes, all three of Kagome and Inuyasha's children had golden eyes that shined the Sun in the sky.
"I sure wish Inuyasha was where right now. He'll be heartbroken when he finds out that I didn't wait for him." She though of the hanyou's heartbroken eyes. Just as the words had left her lips there was a loud bang on the door. Seconds later came the Hanyou which Kagome now felt really bad for.
He came though looking disappointed, after all he had missed the birth of his third child. But all in all their baby girl was still there, wailing for her father. "Hmm, She reminds me of you." Kouga pointed out.
"Yes, I suppose she does." Kagome laughed. "Ok Inuyasha what do you want to name her?" She asked.
"Hmm, I don't know. How about Aurora?" He asked. And as he did so, the morning sun creaked though the window, as if doing so just to welcome their new child.
"Yes, I do suppose that name suites her." Kagome agreed. "Sango-chan do me a favor. Can you being the kids?" She asked, Sango nodded and knocked on the glass of the door. "Hey Kids, It's time!" She notified. Kiera, Kurama, Alex, and Kaza came quietly walking into the room. Silence filled the room. Kagome looked doubtful to her muted twins.
"Come here," She called her twins. "Hey guys this is your new sister." She uncovered the infant's face.
"Cool," The twins said in unison. "Mommy, where do babies come from?" Kurama asked.
"Ummm," She mumbled, unsure what to tell her curious son. "Well Kurama, When a man and a woman decide that..."
"Not to be rude or anything, but Unca Miroku already told us this story." Kurama interrupted. "Yeah, sorry mommy," Kiera apologize to her surprised mother.
"Kurama, what exactly did Unca Miroku tell you two?" She questioned her son, she gave Miroku a death glare while doing so.
"Oh nothing mommy, Just that Storks bring the babies..." Kurama enlighten to his almost furious looking mother.
"Oh, good," She relaxed. Just as she did so Aurora gave out a giggle. With the sun shining and best family in the world... Inuyasha and Kagome's world seemed complete and perfect in every way. They would all soon know that something from the past was about to rock their world... and nothing would be the same ever again.
