Chapter8

The birth of the pups. And Kagome's death.

Two months have passed Willow is four months pregnant. And Kagome is three months pregnant. Since there isn't a village near the castle. Kagome said she would help Willow give birth since she is a priestess. Willow is out on the porch with Sesshomaru. She is sitting next to him with her head on his shoulder sleeping. Suddenly Sesshomaru woke up and looked at Willow. She looks very uncomfortable and in pain. Sesshomaru wondered if she in the stage of labor. Just then he heard her moan. Sesshomaru picked up Willow and carried her to their room. When he laid her down Willow woke and said " Sesshomaru I'm in labor please go get Kagome."

He nodded and left the room and went to go find Kagome. Sesshomaru found her sitting in front of Inuyasha with Shippo on her lap. He walked in and said "Kagome get the things you'll need Willow is in labor." She stood up and got everything then followed Sesshomaru. When she went into the room Willow is breathing heavily and sweating. Kagome put a wet rag on Willow's forehead then checked to see how she was doing. She can tell that Willow will be in labor for a few hours. As the hours went by Willow only screamed four times. Sesshomaru left the room for a little while to get some fresh air. Kagome checked on Willow and can tell she is ready to give birth.

"Sesshomaru you might want to come here!" yelled Kagome.

Before she knew it Sesshomaru is in the room next to Willow. Kagome got some rags, a knife, and a blanket and set them near by. Then she said "ok Willow push." Willow pushed until Kagome told her to stop. Kagome carefully pulled the pup's head and shoulders out. Then she told Willow to push one more time. Willow did so and her pup was born. Kagome cleaned off the pup, cut the cord, and wrapped it in a blanket. She smiled and said "congratulations Willow and Sesshomaru you have a son." Kagome gave the pup to Willow. Willow and Sesshomaru are smiling and looking at their son. He has snow white hair, his father's marking, and opened his green eyes.

"I know the perfect for our son." said Willow.

"What name would that be dear?" asked Sesshomaru.

"Let's name him Raynar which means wise warrior." said Willow.

"That's a fine name." said Sesshomaru.

Kagome decided to leave the room to let Willow and Sesshomaru bound with Raynar. She went back to her and Inuyasha's room. Kagome told Inuyasha and Shippo the sex and the name of Willow's and Sesshomaru's pup. In the morning after breakfast Inuyasha is holding his nephew. For some reason Kagome has not felt well all day. It can't be morning sickness. She figures after a good nights sleep that she'll feel better. But as the days and weeks passed Kagome got sicker and sicker. Inuyasha is worried about Kagome and their unborn pup. But when he placed a hand on Kagome's belly. He can sense that the pup is healthy and strong. Unfortunately Willow has not been able to help Kagome. So Shippo got on Ah-Un and took off to find a cure for Kagome.

But the cures he's brought back haven't worked. And Willow said " If Kagome doesn't get better before she give birth she'll die." When Willow said that Inuyasha lowered his ears and whimpered. Then he went into his and Kagome's room. Kagome is in their bed with a high fever and breathing shallowly. Inuyasha sighed and laid next to Kagome. He is hoping that Shippo finds a cure soon. Kagome is now six months pregnant Shippo hasn't found a cure for Kagome. But it's to late Kagome is in labor. Willow is in Kagome's and Inuyasha's room to help Kagome give birth. Inuyasha is sitting next Kagome and Shippo returned to the castle when he didn't find a cure.

"Push Kagome come on you can do it." said Willow a few hours later.

Kagome pushed until Willow told her to stop. Willow carefully pulled the pup's head and shoulders. But what Willow didn't know is that Kagome is dead. When she told Kagome to push there was no response. Willow checked for a pulse and there wasn't one. So she pulled the pup the rest of the way out. She cut the cord, cleaned the pup off, and wrapped it in a blanket. Willow sighed and said "Kagome is dead but you do have a daughter." Inuyasha cried as he held his daughter. She has little dog ears, silver hair, and opened her golden brown eyes. Inuyasha named her Kara. Willow offered to breast feed Kara since she still is breast feeding Raynar. Inuyasha accepted Willow's offer and left to bury Kagome.

Willow told Sesshomaru and Shippo about Kagome and the pup. Sesshomaru left the room and went out to the garden. He found Inuyasha and saw that he buried Kagome under the tree near the roses. Sesshomaru walked up behind Inuyasha and put his hand on his brother's shoulder.

"I'm here if you need me." said Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha buried his face in Sesshomaur's shoulder and cried. Sesshomaru sighed and patted Inuyasha's back and tried him down. Inuyasha sobbed "how am I going to raise Kara without a mother?" Sesshomaru shook his head and said "nonsense Willow can be her mother figure." Inuyasha thanked Sesshomaru then went back into the castle. And Willow became Kara's mother figure.

Sixteen years have passed Raynar and Kara are sixteen years old. Raynar is 5'9" and Kara is 5'6". Kara knows how and why her mother died. And she knows how to wield Tetsusaiga and Fangsaiga. Raynar knows how to wield Tokijin and Tenseiga. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Willow are very proud of Raynar and Kara. Raynar and Kara have mates already. Kara's mate is named Dragon because of the dragon marking on his forehead. He has black hair and brown eyes. Raynar's mate's name is Ivory she has ivory white hair and blue eyes. Now Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Willow, Raynar, Kara, Dragon, and Ivory are one big happy family.

The End.
