A week later- "I'm glad that you decided to stay with us, KoKo," Kagome said. KoKo sighed and then said, "Yeah… but I wish that Koga would have come with us." Kagome looked at KoKo's stomach and said in mixed emotions, "KoKo… did you eat a lot today?" KoKo stared at Kagome with a confused look and said, "No, I haven't anything today." It was mid-afternoon and Kagome was scared for KoKo, "KoKo, did you do anything while Koga was here with you?" KoKo was confused at first but then she got what Kagome was saying. KoKo looked down at her stomach and excitedly said, "I wondered why I have been feeling sick lately!" The two girls walked up the hill, carrying a bucket of water each, and KoKo excitedly announced to everyone, "I am pregnant!" Inuyasha and Miroku dropped the food they were eating and stared at KoKo. Sango ran up to KoKo and said with excitement, "Congratulations! How long has it been?" KoKo smiled and said, "Well Koga was here about a week ago… so it was a week ago." Kagome stared at Inuyasha and Miroku with a rude look, turned back to KoKo, and asked, "How long are wolf demons usually pregnant?" KoKo started to think and answered, "Well we are just like dogs… so about nine weeks average." Inuyasha straightened himself up and tried reassuring, "Are you sure that you're just fat?" KoKo walked over to Inuyasha and slapped him upside the head and rudely said, "Are you sure that you're just stupid?" Inuyasha growled and then argued, "Well sorry that I don't want my baby sister going out and getting pregnant!" KoKo quickly exhaled and said, "I was not planning on this happening, Inuyasha. I wasn't even thinking about it, and I seriously doubt that Koga planned this.""Hey, KoKo!" Speaking of Koga. Koga wouldn't even spend a week without seeing KoKo. He was more obsessed with KoKo than he was with Kagome, and you can't even imagine how annoying that might get- sure it was romantic but annoying. "Hey, Koga!" KoKo took a big breath and was even thinking about running from Koga, but she let it out to him in this easiest way she could possibly imagine, "Koga… I have some good news, but I don't know if you would think of it as good…. I'm… pregnant." Koga didn't even take time to think about it and proudly said, "That's great! I can't believe that we are going to have a baby!" Everyone was surprised- KoKo more than anyone else- that Koga was so glad about the news. "Well how do you know that it is even your baby?" Inuyasha jealously argued to Koga. "Well for one thing I know that KoKo would never do that. The second thing is that she would actually get to know someone really well before she would go off and get pregnant!" KoKo smiled and started to laugh. Inuyasha and Koga turned to KoKo in amazement. "You know, I used to think that nobody ever cared about me, but you two…" KoKo started to laugh more and kept on going, "But you two are fighting over my protection." Koga started laughing, but Inuyasha just crossed his arms and said, "Hmph." Everyone else joined in on laughing, even Miroku now. KoKo looked at everyone with a big, warming smile and then sadly said, "After my mother died, I thought that I would never smile again, let alone laugh." Koga walked over to KoKo and gave her a hug. KoKo looked up at Koga and asked, "Koga, when you first was me, did I look familiar to you?" Koga put his hand on his chin and said while he was thinking, "Actually you did remind of someone from the northern mountain… but it was a baby that reminded me of you." KoKo smiled and thought to herself, 'Maybe I shouldn't say anything, maybe I should just wait and see if he figures it out for himself.' Later that night- "Here, KoKo," Koga said, dropping varieties of food. "You need to eat extra now that you're eating for two." KoKo smiled and said, "But I can't eat all of this by myself." KoKo handed some food to everyone as she got some for herself. "The bore's almost ready," Kagome said as she checked it over the fire. KoKo walked over and pulled a piece of bore from above the fire and ate it. KoKo yelled and said, "Why the hell is it so hot!" Kagome laughed and answered, "Because you just got it off the fire. You know, you remind me a lot of Inuyasha." Inuyasha and KoKo turned to everyone who was now laughing. "It's ok, KoKo. We don't mean that in a mean way," Koga reassured KoKo. "You're right, I shouldn't be acting like Inuyasha- getting mad so easily," KoKo laughed. KoKo walked over to Inuyasha and hugged him. "Inuyasha, you know that I would never intend to hurt you, not my brother, not my only brother that cares for me so much." Inuyasha wrapped his arms around KoKo and said, "And I would never intend to hurt you. I will always be there for you when you need me." Kagome looked at Inuyasha, she had never seen Inuyasha show his emotions like this, she had never seen this side of him except in the worst of times. "You should get some rest," Inuyasha said in concern. "But it's only sunset," KoKo argued. "But you want your baby to be healthy when it's born," Inuyasha finished. KoKo did not argue with that, so she laid on a blanket that Koga had lied out for her and fell into a deep sleep.
