Chapter 16
At The Hospital
Outside at the waiting room…..Mrs. Higurashi, Jii-Chan and Souta are looking so anxious of hearing the news from the operation room. Then they saw the doctor coming out from the room. All are running towards him.
"How is Kagome and the baby? "asked Mrs. Higurashi.
"She is fine and the baby is also fine…..it's a boy", said the doctor.
Jii-Chan can't help it showing his happiness by jumping here and there. "Huray!My first great grandchild is a boy……"
"Yeah now… I can have a company to play with my racing game…..",said Souta also with joy.
"Can we see him?", asked Mrs. Higurashi still in tears with happiness.
"Eh…..you can….but……there is something you must know…." said the doctor with the odd looks all over his face.
"Something wrong…..doctor", said Mrs. Higurashi in panic.
"No….everything is fine……but…but….the…baby…..baby….what should I put this? It's not like a normal baby…..",
"Huahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What do you mean?", asked Jii-Chan almost cries.
"He….he…got dog ears on his head!", at last the doctor said it.
"What……….the……………it must…………….brrrrrrrr",before Jii-Chan can finish his words, Souta immediately closed Jii-Chan's mouth with his hand.
Mrs. Higurashi said also all of sudden ", Oh…..that's normal in our family…..I also got those ears when I was small…..it will disappear by itself when you become adult….even my son, Souta also used to have it like that but now as you can see it's gone…...",
Souta now is looking funny on his face ",Yes….doctor I also have those ears when I was still a baby…..he…..he…..kinda cute…..isn't it".
"Hah…..why it's happened like that…..I have been a doctor for 20 years, I have never seen a case like this….." said the doctor with puzzle looks.
"It's a cursed from our ancestor…..he….he…..don't worry doctor….it's normal….right….Jii-Chan?", said Mrs. Higurashi smiles.
"Oh…..eh……yes….yes that's right……we look human to you….don't we….so don't worry my great grandchild is perfectly normal and healthy", said Jii-Chan confidently.
"Alright…..in that case, I will leave you all...Kagome is still unconscious. She is so exhausted. You can see her when she is awake. Excuse me….I still have another patient to see….",said the doctor leaving them alone. "What a weird …..family?", he said to himself.
"Good job! guys….",said Mrs. Higurashi so relieved after the doctor's gone.
"Poor thing my first great grandchild……is a dog demon also",said Jii-Chan almost whispering.
"What do you expect Jii-Chan…when the father is like that….we can't have a fully human baby…..", said Mrs. Higurashi
"Mama….I think there is really a curse in our family…."said Souta suddenly.
"Shut up! There is no such thing in Higurashi family….." snapped Jii-Chan.
But their argument has stopped completely when they saw the nurse has taken the baby out from the nursing room to show it to them.
"Here is your grandchild….Mrs. Higurashi", said the nurse then handed over the baby to Mrs'Higurashi hands.
"Oh my God….he looks so handsome…..and cute…..my first grandchild…..", Mrs. Higurashi holds the baby on her arms and kisses him.
Covered and wrapped by the blanket all over his head and body….he looks perfectly like a normal human baby. He got a thick brown hair already on his head.
"Let me hold him….",asked Jii-Chan impatient.
At that moment, everyone is filled with their own emotions. They are all over joy and feel in love with this cute baby. I hope this baby will bring happiness to this family and especially to my daughter. Kagome has suffered so much said Mrs. Higurashi in tears to herself.
"Mrs. Higurashi…..can I take the baby back again", said the nurse who has been very patient standing there to wait for everyone got the chance to hold the baby.
"Of course….thank you", said Mrs. Higurashi handed over the baby.
"I think you can now see Kagome….she is there waiting to see the baby and you all…..",said the nurse. She is carrying the baby and leading them to Kagome's room.
"Didn't the doctor said she is still resting…..",said Mrs. Higurashi.
"Well….for some reason your daughter has regained her conscious very rapidly….I think because she wants to see her baby soon….",said the nurse again.
They are all coming inside Kagome's room where she is still lying on ther bed….with her eyes opened. She looks so exhausted….but as soon as she saw the baby….everyone can see Kagome's eyes is glowing and tears coming down to her cheeks.
"Give me now my baby….I want to see him…..",said Kagome can't bear any longer to hold her baby.
There in her arms now. A cute…..so damn cute (if you know what I mean ) baby boy. He looks so handsome….like his dad. He got thick brown hairs on his head. Then suddenly Kagome said to the nurse.
"Could we have some privacy please?"
"Of course…..just ring the bell….if you need anything…." said the nurse then she leaves them all.
"Arigato!" said everyone in the room.
Mrs. Higurashi, Jii-Chan and Souta were hugging and kissing Kagome one by one.
"Congratulation…..Kagome…..you are a mum now…..",said Mrs.Higurashi in tears of happiness…..can't believe it his daughter now is a mother.
Kagome kisses her baby and slowly she opens the blanket which covering the head of her baby. There she can see, two cute tiny doggy ears still looks pinky red. She touches it and kisses it all over it. Her reaction caused the baby to open his eyes. There two beautiful tiny amber eyes looking at her directly….Kagome felt with so much emotion to see the face of her own baby…..she can't help it to cry very hard now. She looks exactly like Inuyasha…..the man that she loves. I can't believe it I got you…my beautiful baby…..it's just too bad your dad can't see you….too bad he doesn't even know that you are existed. Poor thing…..I am sorry…..so sorry my child….because of me….I ….I…. Kagome feels her body is shivering now
"Kagome….take it easy….you have just given birth….your body won't take any more tension in this condition", said Mrs. Higurashi is holding Kagome in her arms. She understands very much how Kagome's feeling….right now. She had been there….too when Kagome's born, her husband wasn't there anymore.
"Mum….why don't we leave sis….to take rest….",said Souta after looking Kagome is sleeping with her baby besides her so peacefully now.
"Ok….let's go",said Mrs. Higurashi quietly.
"What's the name of the baby?", said Souta to his mum.
"Yukio….! Yukio Inuyasha….", said Kagome immediately before all of them leaving the room and smiles at them then she felt asleep.
IN FEUDAL ERA
At Kaede's Hut
Kikyo and Kaede are making some medicine from the herbs while they are talking. Meanwhile Inuyasha is sitting on the tree with his mind wondering off where is Kagome now.
"So….if I may know….what makes you change your mind….sis?" asked Kaede suddenly. She wanted to know why her sister is here and decide to help her in this village. "I though after you are married….you will never want to see me again".
"We are never married…..Kaede…..if that you are worrying about", snapped Kikyo. Kaede can feel so much sadness in her voice.
"But…..last time….you are so persistent….to get married with Inuyasha"
"Yes I was. But I changed my mind"
"Why?If I may know…..",said Kaede carefully.
"Do you think I am a fool….Kaede….I know very well that Inuyasha's heart is not belong to me anymore. I can see that clearly during the ritual. I….I just didn't want to admit it. I had been living in a denial all this time….since my soul made from dead people…..I never wanted to accept that Inuyasha has another girl in his heart. You remembered also there are times I wanted to kill Kagome. I died because of hatred….when I was revived by Urasue. My purpose that time was to kill Inuyasha. Let him die together with me. But then I know….Inuyasha didn't kill me….it's that bastard Naraku. I knew also that Inuyasha will never kill or hurt me. That makes me love him even more and wants to be him forever. If I got the second chance to be with him…..of course…. I will not let anything getting in the way again especially Kagome. However I can't believe it that their love is so stronger….that they always can find their way to be together. I hate that so much….Kaede. Why this time I have to be the loser again. First by Naraku….this time Kagome. Why can't I have my own happiness with the man that I love….What have I done to deserve this?", Cried Kikyo.
Kaede holds her sister in her arms. She really felt sorry now….for Kikyo's fate.
"Sis….I know this sound may be cruel if I said..this...but did you ever realise …maybe…maybe you and Inuyasha are meant to be together….you will never be…",said Kaede in tears also.
"Yes….Kaede I am beginning to accept that……Did you know after the transformation of my body….I can feel how Inuyasha acted so formal towards me now. He can't even dare to see me in the eyes when we spoke. We only talk one or two words everyday….the rest….is only silent…and silent. I can feel it also that our relation becomes so distant….and strange. …What can you expect with that kind of relation if we are husband and wife? WE ARE NO MORE IN LOVE!", at last Kikyo said those words.
"I should have known that at the moment I died….the tie between me and Inuyasha had already been broken forever…This is a curse from Tsubaki.",said Kikyo looking outside.
"Did you know….Kagome is pregnant….sis….?",said Kaede suddenly.
"Yes….I know",Kikyo answered in a cold tone.
"How did you know?"
" She came looking for Inuyasha oneday. Didn't know what for..….I just got the feeling also something different about her….but I just told her to get lost", said Kikyo without expression on her face.
"She is looking for him………..so……could it be INUYASHA's…..",said Kaede in shocked.
Just as the same time Inuyasha came in and looked at them so fiercely.
"What the fuck are you saying baba?",Inuyasha screamed at her…..as if as he wanted to kill her.
"Inuyasha…..how long have you been standing there?", asked Kikyo. She is scared now.
"Not long but it's enough for me to know that Kagome was looking for me on the day you had threatened me not to see her anymore. Why you didn't tell me …..bitch! ", Inuyasha looks in anger now at Kikyo.
"I….I….because I love you…I don't want to loose..you..",said Kikyo in tears.
"You call it that love…..you make me sick! Kikyo. You are just being possessive towards me. All this time I put up with you….whatever you wanted me to do…..I'll do it for you. At first because I think I love you….I even hurt Kagome by doing that. But I never realised you will do such low thing…..she is pregnant with my child…..you didn't even have decency to tell me….how could you! HOW COULD YOU…..KIKYO! I HATE YOU! I DIDN"T LOVE YOU ANYMORE. I should be with Kagome at the first place. I am really a fool to think my sacrifice is enough for you….."screamed Inuyasha…..
Kikyo has never seen Inuyasha acted like that like a mad person. She is more certain now that he really loves Kagome that much. She has underestimated Kagome so far.
"Wait a minute! Damn you…..Inuyasha….I didn't know she is pregnant with you….how did I know….I said I knew that she is pregnant but I didn't know whose child is that. Do you think she is not sleeping around in her time…you can see the way she dress with that mini skirt while she was here….",said Kikyo in anger and jealousy.
"You'd better shut your fucking mouth…bitch….or I can kill you now…..Don't ever insult the WOMAN that I love…..",said Inuyasha…..His words not only surprising Kikyo, Kaede but to himself also. Inuyasha couldn't believe he confess his own feeling.
"So….you are confessing now…..demon…..that you are in love with her…..the way you acted like this….meaning you had slept with her…..behind my back….hadn't you? Answer me! Why she is always more precious than me?", yelled Kikyo.
"Khek….so what….I never blame you when you betrayed me by joining together with Naraku to fight with me in the past ….why should I feel sorry with you that I was sleeping with Kagome. Kikyo…when I was with you in the past…there is no other woman in my life…but you. You are the only and first woman that I ever felt in love that time. But then you killed me with your damn arrow….just because you think I was only after the Shikon No Tama. You didn't trust me enough….that I love you that much to be with you. When Kagome had taken out the arrow from my chest. As soon as I saw her face, I know that my life won't be the same….anymore….I had loved her from the moment I saw her. At first I think may be because she is your reincarnation and looks like you. But the more we became closer….I knew it that she was completely different from you. She was always there for me and rescued me many times during the battle. She taught me to love and trust someone again. She even sacrificed a lot her happiness just only for you and me to be together. Now tell me…..how could I not fall in love with her ",said Inuyasha….is glad now that everything out from his chest.
"You…..bastard! I didn't want to hear those pathetic feeling of yours…I should kill you now ….",Kikyo suddenly is grabbing her arrow and bow. Kaede immediately stopped her.
"Come on…you do it….I will not hesitate also this time to kill you….",said Inuyasha is getting ready to take out his sword.
"Stop it! Both of you….." snapped Kaede.
"Bah….I got no time….to play around with you now…..Kikyo…Oiii Kaede just answer me….Did Kagome ever tell you who is the father of her baby?", said Inuyasha seriously.
"No…..she didn't even know that I had noticed her pregnancy…..but Inuyasha there is always possibility that she could have been with another man in her time there…..I….", Kaede can't finish her words when she saw how horrible is Inuyasha's face.
"Stop there!baba….Kagome is only mine…..",said Inuyasha….then he walked away from the hut.
"Inuyasha……wait…..where you are going? ",said Kaede running after him outside the hut.
"Huh….what do you think….I will look for Kagome….if the baby is mine….I will take it back with…..with the mother of course…..they are belong with me",said Inuyasha.
"But…..what about Kikyo?",asked Kaede
"Khek baba….I think you should look after that baba…..also from now on…."said Inuyasha then he is disapearing in the forest.
"Huh…..how rude he is", said Kaede walking back inside the hut. There she saw her sister looking so pathetic and broken hearted crying like anything. It's over now….said Kaede….the affair from 53 years ago. At least now she can move on……with her life and also with Inuyasha and….Kagome. I hope you both can find your happiness.
