Sorry for the long wait.

Chapter Eight: InuYasha Missing!
After Koga left, Kagome and InuYasha talked about how Koga could get such an idea. The only result was that Hakkaku told him such a lie.
"I missed you, Kagome," InuYasha told her after she put out the fire.
"I missed you, too."
That night they mated again.
In the morning, InuYasha kissed Kagome on the head and went to hunt down Koga. He had promised to return by dinner. Kagome thought he was just late and went to sleep after tending to Sakura and Hikaru.
The next day, Kagome awoke alone and cold. Where was InuYasha? Maybe he traveled too far. Kagome convinced herself that everything alright. InuYasha just traveled too far and was taking awhile to get back. This lie became very hard to believe as time ticked by. Sakura and Hikaru sensed the disturbance in their mother and became restless too. They refuse to settle. Finally, Kagome gave up on trying to calm them and took them to their grandmother's.
Ai sat in Kagome's room, just rocking the twins. Kagome had taken a walk on her mother's orders. Ai could tell that Kagome was very worried about InuYasha and it was affecting the children.
Exactly one hour after she left home, Kagome returned. She was just more nervous. Ai frowned at this. "What's wrong?" she asked. Kagome just shrugged and paced about the room muttering under her breath about hopes high, children, and having another child. "What!" Kagome froze and faced her mother.
"I'm pregnant again," Kagome explained. Ai smiled and laughed.
"You are stressing out. That is the only reason you are a little late. If you do not relax, I will send you to a spa and massage center," Ai assured her. Kagome flinched at the sudden threat. She sat down and tried to relax through breathing. All it caused her was more frustration. Sakura and Hikaru cried. Ai glared at her. "Babies sense when their mother is upset and become upset themselves. I suggest that you take another walk and visit those friends of yours." Kagome sighed and left.
She walked up to the house of her once dear friend, Yuki. Kagome rang the doorbell. A few minutes went by and the door opened. There stood a very shocked Yuki with two shock Eri and Ayumi behind her. "How are you guys?" Kagome asked.
"Just great. What are you doing here? Where are those children of yours?" Eri asked.
"I'm a little stressed out, so, they are restless. My mom sent me here to calm down," Kagome answered. Ayumi took her hand and led her into Yuki's bedroom. There the girls sat on the floor like they did months ago.
"What's wrong?" Ayumi asked.
"Their father went after an enemy of ours that nearly murdered him and me. He hasn't returned since. I'm getting worried. He said that he would be back before dinner, but he never showed up," Kagome started to cry. They hugged her and allowed her cry all she wanted. Eri grabbed the tissues.
-Meanwhile with InuYasha-
InuYasha awoke in pain. He had been attacked by Hakkaku and something else before he could go to his beloved.
