Chapter 23
Inuyasha felt off to a big hole with his head stuck in the ground after hearing Kagome's magic words.
"STOP IT! ENOUGH!" Inuyasha yelled at her trying to get up.
Kagome was standing in front of him. With her shiny black hair under the moonlight, she stared at him with so much rage on her brown eyes. She looks beautiful like a goddess. How much Inuyasha wanted to hold her in his arms.
"How dare you called me that? Who do you think you are! ", said Kagome. She lifted her hands and gave Inuyasha a slap.
"Ouch…! That's must be hurt!" said Shippo to Miroku.
"Be quite! Shippo", said Miroku seriously to Shippo then looking at the tense moment between Inuyasha and Kagome.
"You…." said Inuyasha in shocked to get the first slap from Kagome. His left cheek looked red now.
"Where is my baby? How dare you taking him away from me like that?" said Kagome and lifted her hands again…before she can do anything, Inuyasha grabbed her hands first.
"Stop it! I said….or you'll be regret!" He screamed at her.
"Let my hands go or I…" said Kagome is now trying to keep away from Inuyasha, but his hands too stronger for her. She is about to move her other hands when Inuyasha suddenly held both of her arms together with his hands. Now she is trapped in his arms.
"I….I hate you…..." said Kagome started crying. She can see how his amber eyes looking at her so peacefully.
"He is my son also! You had lied to me. If I didn't come in time I would have been lost him and you...forever, didn't you know that?" said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha…..I…I….you made me did like that", said Kagome in tears.
"I didn't ask you to marry other man…Did you marry that jerk or not?" said Inuyasha. She can hear a jealousy tone in his voice.
"How can I ….after you have taken Yukio from me! What am I supposed to do…Inuyasha. I was pregnant without husband", said Kagome.
"You should tell me the truth! You know I am always with you. That's why you are a whore if you want to marry other man", said Inuyasha angry.
"You…..Osu…….." Before Kagome can finish the words, Inuyasha immediately kissed her. At first, she tried to resist but then she couldn't deny it anymore. She knew it that she is longing for this moment also. After all the fights and tears…..his kiss becoming so gentle. She can feel the warmth of his tongue dancing inside her mouth. But suddenly they hear……….
"Oii…..guys…..he….he we are here….hallooo!" said Miroku with his hands closed Shippo's eyes.
Kagome broke away from Inuyasha instantly after realising Miroku and Shippo were there. Now they both were blushing.
"Shippo…Miroku how long you guys are there?" said Kagome still embarrassed.
"We are here all along when you were arrived…" said Miroku smiles at her.
"Kagome….I miss you!" screamed Shippo. He immediately jumped to her arms.
"Me…too ….Shippo", said Kagome.
"Kagome-Chan……" said Sango. She came back just in time with Yukio in her arms.
Kagome approached her in a rush and took over Yukio in her arms.
"My baby….Yukio…..Thank you.. Sango-Chan", said Kagome. She kissed Yukio.
"She has just been breastfed from a mum in the village but I think he still wants more", said Sango
"Ok…I'll give him more…now", said Kagome carrying Yukio inside Kaede's hut. Sango is following her.
Miroku and Shippo were about to go inside also when Inuyasha screamed at them.
"What the fuck are you doing? Stay here! Both of you".
"Hey….I am still a child….you know!" said Shippo.
"Shippo…leave him alone. You know now Kagome-Chan is his woman…" said Miroku taking Shippo for a walk now to the forest.
"Khek…..whatever…." said Inuyasha. He jumped up to the top of the tree and sitting there...closing his eyes. At last I got you back Kagome….my love and Yukio…my son. I will not let you out of my sight again………..forever.
INSIDE KAEDE'S HUT
Inside the hut, Kagome is breastfeeding Yukio while chatting with Sango and Kaede. Kagome was shocked to know that Kikyo had hurt Kaede.
"Kagome….I am glad Inuyasha now is admitting his feeling for you. He loves you. I knew also that how much he suffered when he chose to be with my sister. May be he didn't realise that his love for you is different with Kikyo. My sister couldn't accept the fact that she has to loose Inuyasha again. Kagome…I want you to keep the Shikon No Tama when you all are able to get it back from my sister. Since you got a pure heart and miko also. I think fate has chosen you to be the one who is able to purify the shards. I believe that's why from the beginning the shards in your body because you are the truly owner of Shino No Tama", said Kaede.
"Kagome-Chan I am happy….that you are together with Inuyasha after those long sufferings…." said Sango smiles at Kagome.
"I wish….all that simple….Sango-Chan….though I am happy I got Inuyasha's love with me and Yukio….but…." said Kagome with tears all over her eyes.
"What's wrong Kagome?" said Kaede.
"I have promised my family to marry someone after I got Yukio back", said Kagome sadly.
"Kagome-Chan…..did Inuyasha know about this", asked Sango. She felt sorry for her.
"I haven't told him….I am not about to tell him….He will stop me if he found out", said Kagome again.
"But….that's not right…you want to leave him with his son….No…Kagome….he will be hurt….you see it also today how you feel if Yukio was taken away from you. He is the father….he has the same right with you", said Kaede.
"Tell me….what am I supposed to do?" said Kagome in dilemma.
"Kagome-Chan….I think we can't decide for you. It's you… yourself have to decide….which one you have to give priority Inuyasha or your family. But I can tell you one thing if you did this to Inuyasha, he will be very sad in his life. He will be very lonely. For so long he didn't have anyone in his life. Now he got you and his son. He must be very happy….." said Sango.
"Well…in the same time also your family will be disappointed in you if you didn't marry the man they prefer…" said Kaede confused also.
"Let me think about it….I am sure I will get the decision….It has to be a way for this", said Kagome tried to convince herself. But she is afraid of the outcome….actually.
"When you have to leave….Kagome-Chan?" said Sango.
"I….actually I can leave now also if I want since I already got Yukio. But….how can I….Inuyasha is watching me outside…I have to wait then…till the time is right", said Kagome.
"Why don't you stay with us for a while here….besides….I still miss you …." said Sango-Chan.
"Ok…."
"Kagome…..don't leave Yukio out of your sight….I hate to tell you this but Kikyo is after you and your son also", said Kaede.
"Hah….why she wanted to do like that?" said Kagome.
"What do you think? She is jealous of you…." said Sango.
"Hey….by the way how is your marriage's life….sorry for not asking…." asked Kagome. Sango is blushing now. They kept on talking…
OUTSIDE KAEDE'S HUT
Meanwhile….outside the hut….all the guys now were talking together.
"Hey…Inuyasha…what's your planning now?" asked Miroku.
"Khek….planning for what?" said Inuyasha.
"You are now a father….Inuyasha….what are you going to do with Kagome", asked Shippo irritated by Inuyasha's reaction.
"What do you mean….she will stay with me of course…." said Inuyasha. He still got no idea what his friends are talking about.
"Stupid!….Are you going to marry Kagome or not?" said Shippo punched Inuyasha on his head.
"Is that….necessary? I have mated her….she will be mine forever", said Inuyasha.
"Ohh….in that case….let Kouga married her then…" yelled Miroku.
"What the….I kill him before he did that", said Inuyasha angrily.
"Huh….you are so immature…Inuyasha….",said Shippo was disappointed in him.
"You have to marry her Inuyasha because she is not half demon like you. If you didn't marry her….there is always possibility she will get married to someone else", said Miroku.
"Oh yeah…..over my dead body…" said Inuyasha.
"That's why you have to marry her………..IDIOT!" Shippo yelled at him.
"I will do it after I finish my business with Kikyo", said Inuyasha now is blushing.
"So you still have business with her…." said Miroku.
"Not that kind of business…..moron! I mean after I take the Shino No Tama from her. I will use that to become human then I will stay forever with Kagome…" said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha…..sometimes….you really surprised me…..you aren't an idiot after all", said Shippo smiled at him.
"Shut up!" said Inuyasha now punched back on Shippo's head.
"Well….how about you….Miroku? What is your planning?" said Inuyasha.
"He….he….isn't that obvious after seeing your baby today…I will work out with Sango as soon as possible….." said Miroku.
"That is not what I am asking! You pervert monk! I mean when you will go back to your village?' said Inuyasha.
"I will not go back now….not till the Shino No Tama is back again…." said Miroku.
"It doesn't concern you….this is between me and Kikyo….you better go back with Sango…. I will protect Kagome and my son…..." said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha…Kagome is our friend also. We will help you to bring back the shards", said Miroku.
"Yeah it's settled now….we are together again to defeat Kikyo…" said Shippo happily.
"Inuyasha….I just have one question for you…..Did you really got over Kikyo completely?" said Miroku
"Of course…I made my mind…didn't I?" said Inuyasha
"But you always got confused when Kikyo is front of you…..You two-timing", said Shippo.
"Khek….that in the past….",said Inuyasha crossing his arms on his chest.
"Are you sure you can kill her if you have to…."said Miroku.
"Of course…." said Inuyasha.
"Hey…Inuyasha….if this time you go back again to Kikyo…I can assure you….You will never see Kagome and your son again forever. She will disappear from your life. You got that!" yelled Shippo.
"Bah….don't you think I know that?", said Inuyasha…..while in his heart he is also doubting whether he can kill Kikyo….after all she is his first love….Kikyo….
Meanwhile without their knowing, a pair of eyes is watching them behind the forest…
