DF: Alright, now things are starting to pick up. Thank you all for your comments and patience. I know the title of the chapter is confusing but you'll get it later. Now let's get on with the story.

Six months after the discovery of Sango's pregnancy.

Miroku meditates outside near the lake. It has been six months since that monstrosity of a woman attacked me. She wouldn't consider coming back now. Now, about the other woman in my life…

"Miroku! Dinner's ready!" Sango called to her husband. Miroku stood up and started walking over to the kitchen. There were two places set. One was empty, it was full of food because of the traces of crumbs, but now there was none and Sango was no longer there.

Miroku sighed; this is how it has been for the past six months. "Don't worry about the plates,…" started Sango. "I know, I know! You'll clean it up later…" finished a dejected Miroku.

When he was done eating, he got up from the table and went to their room to find it locked shut.

DF: I know there are no locking doors in this time period but imagine a sliding glass door, then imagine putting a stick between the frame and the door, then you get the jist of it.

"Sango, could you please open up this door?" called Miroku to his wife. "Just hold on one minute, Miroku." They said in unison, but Miroku had more contempt in his voice. The minute Sango open up the door, Miroku opened up his mouth.

"You know, Sango, I'm getting sick and tired of you always disappearing on me!" he said to her grasping her shoulders. "Miroku get your hands off me!" she yelled trying to get away. "What do you mean 'get my hands off of you'? I'm your husband, I haven't seen you in direct light, much less even touched you in 6 months!" saying this he hugged her tightly.

Wait a minute, Sango was never this big before… Miroku pulled out of the hug and looked down at her stomach. Sango just fell to the floor in tears. "Is this what's going on?" Sango just nodded. "Is that why you've been avoiding me?" Another nod. "How long has this been going on?"

"Seven months…" She murmured. Miroku's face lit up. "You're two months away and you didn't even tell me?" he said excitedly. "I thought if you knew that I was getting fat you would leave me." She replied.

"Why would you think that?" He asked her. "Because now that Naraku is dead, there is no point for you to have a son." She said sadly. "That's not the point. You are still my wife, and I need some one to carry down my name." he said with a smile. "But what about me getting bigger? I mean it's not very flattering or attractive, and don't you dare lie and say you like girls no matter if they are a little unattractive." She fought back.

"Sango, you are my wife, whether you are bigger or not does not matter because you still are you." He said softly. "So you're not mad at me, you know, hiding from you?" she asked

"Of course not, I love you." She wrapped her arms around him "Oh Miroku, I'm so glad you're not mad at me!" she sobbed into his kimono. He started to feel her ass "Just as long as this remains the same I am happy." He said. Sango pulled out of the hug and slapped him.

One month later…

DF: Again, we need Inuyasha and Kagome to keep up romantically, so bear with me.

Jeez, she's been gone for two weeks now, thought Inuyasha. What the hell could she be doing back there Just the well lit up with light, indicating Kagome's return. "Well, finally!" yelled Inuyasha down the well. "I missed you too Inuyasha." She called up the well.

She got out of the well with Inuyasha's help with the supplies she had brought. "You brought the…" "Yes, I brought the ramen, Inuyasha." She said sarcastically.

"That's all you had ta say!" he said like he was being yelled at. All Kagome did was sigh, she didn't want to fight with him, not now. "Inuyasha, are you almost done setting up the house?"

"Yeah, everything's just about ready." He replied "Good, I'm glad we can start living together finally."

"Well, if you didn't take…" "Inuyasha, please not now." He sighed and just started to walk to their house which was not too far from the tree where they first met. In fact it was in their front yard. Both Miroku and Inuyasha had cleared a small section of forest to help the building process.

"It's beautiful Inuyasha." She said as she walked into the house. "Yeah, well it better be after all the hard work I put into it." Grumbled Inuyasha. "Hush, Inuyasha."

"Well, tonight you're gonna see what us demons do to become mates." Said Inuyasha. "I can't wait." She replied. Kagome expected a wonderful ceremony, clearly not like a wedding but nonetheless still a great ceremony.

That night Kagome walked out to the tree of ages to meet Inuyasha for the ceremony. "Are you ready Kagome?" asked Inuyasha. "Yes, Inuyasha, I'm ready." She said seriously but with a smile across her face.

Inuyasha moved close to her and kissed her. It was such a romantic moment that was quickly broken off when Inuyasha began to kiss her neck. "Oh, Inuyasha." Moaned out Kagome. Inuyasha finished licking up that area. "Ready?"

Kagome nodded. Inuyasha went back to her neck and bit her gently at first then enough to pierce the skin. "Hey, OW, Inuyasha, quit it!" she yelled pushing him off. "What? I thought you said you were ready!"

"You mean that's it? That's how demons become mates?" she was in complete shock. "Well, duh, what did you expect?"

She gave Inuyasha a scary angry face. "Inuyasha…WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!"

Inuyasha had no objections… especially since he didn't have a choice in the matter anyway.

DF: One month later

KG: Sango has been strapped down to the bed (figuratively speaking). Miroku would not let her move outside their room. He has been doing all the house work so she wouldn't have to move.

Miroku was outside catching fish for lunch. His mind wandered to worry over Sango for the 50th time that day. I wonder if Sango is attempting to sneak off… again. A month ago she tried she had multiple traps set up to slow me down. Like she set up 20 nooses on the floor to try and catch me… sigh I'll give her two more minutes to finish setting the traps.

Just then a giggle resonated in the air. Miroku tensed up. "I recognize that laugh…" he said looking out in to the lake. The lake suddenly went from a mirrored reflection to little waves along the surface of the water. "So I guess it is time, Lord Monk." Said an echoed voice across the rough waters. Suddenly a water spout shot up in the middle of the lake and a silhouette of a woman hold a glowing blue orb in her hand. "You…" said Miroku with shock. "Hee hee, well that's not very nice. We were ex-lovers after all." She taunted.

"We were nothing of the sort." He shot back at her. She walks toward him seductively. "Either way, my name is Mizuno."

"I don't care what your name is." He shouted while he threw some sacred sutras at her. She smirked and procured a sword of water and sliced the sutras up. Miroku just stared in shock. She glared at him tauntingly as she spun the ball on one finger. She looked at the ball . "I wonder what would happen if I used this now?" she said.

Miroku got pissed off and tried to attack the orb. Mizuno blocked the attack with the sword. "Now I wouldn't be doing that to our love child." She taunted. Miroku backed off in shock. Whatever that thing was he had had a hand in creating it; and she intended to use it. She flicked it into the air and it soar over to the house. Soon there was a bloodcurdling scream from Sango.

"Sango!" cried Miroku trying to get to the house but was stopped by a barrier. He banged on the barrier. "Why is this here!" "Oops, I forgot to lower that." She said sarcastically.

"Lower the barrier this instant!" yelled Miroku rushing at her to strike. Their weapons clashed together. "Well, what's the magic word?" she asked nicely.

"WENCH!" Miroku said pushing away from her. "Miroku! Duck!" yelled a familiar voice. "KAZE NO KIZU!" Miroku ducked out of the way but Mizuno dodged it easily none the less. Inuyasha ran in and clashed swords with the demon.

"Oh, look a hanyou." She said like an uninterested tourist. "Half's all I need to kick your butt." He shot back. "Oh, really?" Suddenly water tendrils stuck out of the water and wrapped around Inuyasha's limbs.

"I'll help you Inuyasha!" called Miroku as he unwrapped his right arm. "KAZANA!" Nothing happened. Mizuno stared at him like he had gone crazy. She got so distracted that Inuyasha broke free of the bonds. He cracked his fingers. "Hey, Miroku, you should go check on Sango now."

"Oh, Right. Thank you Inuyasha." He said running off. "It's not like checking on her will change anything." She said. "But, just in case…" She shot a blast of water that froze over Miroku's feet to the ground. Miroku fell over himself. "What's this?" He started to try and chip away at the ice.

"SANKON TESSO!" Inuyasha yelled out. Mizuno was distracted yet again by the monk and Inuyasha clipped her arm with that attack. She went all the way toward the middle of the lake to avoid anymore attacks of that sort. "Why you dirty, sneaky, half-blooded, runt!" she spat. She held the now bleeding wound. "You're not as good as you put yourself up to be, wench."

She laughed to herself over the comment and removed her hand form the wound. Inuyasha was infuriated and lunged at her. But as he came down he noticed that her arm was healing over. Mizuno snapped and hundreds of water orbs floated. "So much power shouldn't be wasted on a half-demon, but for your kind I'll make an exception." She moved her arm upward and then threw it down in a throwing motion and all the orbs flew toward Inuyasha as icicles. Shit! he thought. Then out of no where the icicles return to liquid form and just drop. Inuyasha looked down to see that Mizuno's arm had been cut off.

"Damn it. A holy arrow." She cursed. She looked for the archer who shot it while holing the stump of an arm she had left. Inuyasha splashed into the water which cause Mizuno to look away from the water's edge long enough to get another shot off. However, Mizuno was still expecting another shot and she dodged it but it clipped her in the side with no arm. This isn't worth it, I'm done with what I need to do here. she thought. She then disappeared into the water.

The ice around Miroku's feet melted off and he sprinted toward the house to check on Sango. Inuyasha swam to shore to be greeted by Kagome. "What took you?" he choked out. "Shut up, at least I got here on time." Kagome retorted.

Miroku suddenly ran out with Sango in his arms. "There's something wrong with her! I'm going to take her to Kaede's!" He yelled out running toward the village. Kagome and Inuyasha ran after them.

5 hours later

Miroku paced outside with Inuyasha and Kagome following him with their eyes. The moans of pain coming out of the hut didn't help either, especially since they were laced with curses at Miroku.

After all the agony and worry, Kaede came out of the hut. "It's a boy, Miroku." She said simply. "Congratulations!" said Kagome. "She wants to see you too." Kaede continued. Miroku rushed inside to see a thoroughly exhausted Sango.

He sat by her side and kissed her forehead. She stirred awake. "Hello." She said. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah… I'm fine. Thank you." She said weakly. Miroku propped her up with one arm and the other helping her cradle the child. "What should we name him, Miroku?" she asked.

"Well… What about Domon?" he suggested. She shook her head in disgust. "Well then… does Otaru sound alright?" She thought about it for a few minutes. "That sounds just fine."

Back at the lake.

"Sigh I guess there's nothing to do now but buy some time for a couple of years." Mizuno said to herself. Her arm was now reconnected but still looking mangled. "Damn holy aura, always makes my healing difficult. I haven't seen a holy arrow THAT strong since…"

KG: The next chapter won't be up for awhile. I need to brainstorm for about a month. Hey, don't complain, it makes for a better story. So just deal with it!
