A/N: This chapter may be a bit confusing to you cause this is one of those time jumpers and y'all start to think, 'wait a minute, what of the others with this time jump?' and all that crap. You'll find that out in later chapters, trust me. I haven't forgoten the other pairings... just haven't really thought of anything to write about them just yet. Well... anything interesting. Anyways... here it the next chapter... enjoy.
Chapter 8: The end of the hunt.
A/N: Hunt? What hunt? Well you'll find out what I mean when you read. Now read! Lol.
It has been months since the group found out about Kagome getting pregnant with Inuyasha's pup. A/A: Yes a pup... cause it is part dog so yeah... Kagome and Inuyasha have been coming back to the Feudal Era less and less, and Kagome's stomach has been getting rather big. A/N: No duh... she 'is' pregnant. Inuyasha has been helpfull and carries Kagome around, so she didn't have to suffer with walking and hurting her back. The time was near and Kagome's room is just filled with baby gifts from the baby shower a few weeks back. A/N: By the way... if any of you are wondering, Kagome is having a girl.
Kagome was in her room, packing a few things to visit Sango and the others one last time before the baby was born. Inuyasha walks into the room, handing her something for lunch that her mom made. "Her Kagome, mom made this for you before we go." "No it's okay, I'm fine." Kagome said with a smile. "But thanks anyways." Kagome gave Inuyasha a kiss on the cheek and caused him to blush. "But mom told me to make sure you eat no matter what." Kagome smiles, shaking her head. "That's just like mom. Okay fine I'll eat." Kagome smiled and took the lunch and started eatting. While she was eatting, Inuyasha finished with the packing. After the packing was done, Inuyasha flung the back pack over his right shoulder. "Let's go Kagome, they are probably worried about us anyways since we haven't visited for a very long time." Kagome smiles and nods. "Okay, lets go." She gave him a soft kiss and Inuyasha kissed back. Then grabbing eachothers hands they walked out of the room and down to the door. They said their good bye's before leaving and then they walked out, heading towards the shrine. When they got to the well Inuyasha helped Kagome up and into the well, then followed behind her.
Meanwhile, in Keade's village, Sango and Shippo were in the hut with Keade and Kirara was sitting in Sango's lap. Kirara's ears perked up and she let out a little squeek and ran out the hut. Sango watched Kirara in confused. "Kirara?" She called but was too late. Sango stood up and followed Kirara out fo the hut, soon with Shippo, then Keade following behind. Sango smiled when she saw what Kirara was so excited about, it was Inuyasha and Kagome, walking towards the village. Sango giggled and waved one of her arms in the air. "Hey! Inuyasha! Kagome!" Kagome responded with the same arm wave in the air. "Hey guys!" Kagome tried to run but Inuyasha stopped her. She looked to Inuyasha and Inuyasha shook his head. "No Kagome, not in yoru condistion." Kagome smiles and nods.
After about 10 minutes of catching up in Keade's hut, everyone was sitting around the center of the hut with Kagome in Inuyasha's arms and Shippo in Kagome's lap, having his head up against Kagomes belly. Kagome looked to Shippo and giggled. "What are you doing Shippo?" Shippo looked up at Kagome and smiled. "I'm feeling the baby kick." "Carefull or the baby will kncok you out." Inuyasha said with a smirk and a chuckle. "Hey! That wasn't nice Inuyasha." Kagome said, looking to Inuyasha with an agervated look. "I was only kidding, geez." Inuyasha huffed and crossed his arms. Kagome giggled and kissed Inuyasha on the cheek. "Yes I know, just giving you a hard time." Kagome said with a smile. Inuyasha huffed again. "Like usual." Sango shook her head, then looked at the cup of tea in her hands and sighed. "What's the matter Sango?" Kagome asked, a bit worried for her. "It's Miroku, ever since he found out you and Inuyasha was having a baby he vanished and has never yet to return." Sango sighed again and lowered her head and Kirara jumped in her lap and nuzzled against her, purring loudly. Sango forced a smile and pet Kirara. "I'm sure he will come back." Kagome said, to try and cheer her up. "I hope you're right." Sango sighed again and continued to pet Kirara.
Hours have past and it was now night fall. Sango and the others were sitting around a warm fire, roasting some marsmellows that Kagome had brought from her house. There was still no sign of Miroku returning and the longer he has been gone, the more depressed and miserable Sango felt. "Sango, I'm sure Miroku will come back." Inuyasha said while taking a bit of his roasted marsmellow. Sango sighed, not even paying attention that her mersmellow was on fire. "I really hope so Inuyasha... I really do." Inuyasha looked closely at Sango's face. Sango's face started to turn red. "Wh... what are you doing Inuyasha?" Sango asked nervously. "You have a crush on Miroku don't you?" Inuyasha said with a bit of a smirk. Sango's face turned a darker red. "N...no... what makes you say that I do?" Sango lied, trying to hide the blush. "Cause your face is all red and you have been acting real down since he ran off." Sango blushed even more and lowered her head to 'try' and hide it. "Well... I... I... I do have a crush on him. Infact, I actually like it when he touches me the way he does, just didn't want to admit it." Sango's face by now was so red it looked as if it was gonna pop off her shoulders. Kagome went to Sango and gave her a huge. "You know what, I think I knew you did all along." Kagome said with a smile.
A few more hours have passed and it was starting to get late. Everyone still was sitting around the fire, chit chatting. "Ah!" Kagome yelled, holding her stomach. Inuyasha rushed to her side. "Kagome what's wrong!" Inuyasha said, putting his arms around her. "It... it's the baby. It's time Inuyasha." Everyone shot up when they heard Kagome say that. "Alright Kagome, hold on." Inuyasha picked Kagome up in his arms and ran off. "Inuyasha wait! Where are you going!" Sango asked. "To take Kagome to the hospital in her era." Just then, he was out of sight and jumping into the well.
After returning to Kagome's era he spent no time and quickly ran to the hospital. "What about mom?" Kagome asked. "Don't worry Kagome, I'll tell her, but getting you to the hospital is more important. For now just keep breathing." Kagome nodded and took deep breaths as Inuyasha carried her to the hospital. When he finally got there Kagome's water had already broke and Inuyasha was soaked cause of it. "Someone help! She's having a baby!" Inuyasha yelled in a panic as he bursts through the hospital doors. "Ah, Ms. Kagome, we weren't expecting you not for at least another week." Said one of the nurses. "Well that's not what the baby is saying!" Screamed Kagome in an anger tone. The nurse just nodded and sent in a wheelchair for Kagome and wheeled her off to the delivery room. "I'll be with you in a minute Kagome, I gotta phone mom." Kagome nodded and they both kissed eachother just as they were taking her away and Inuyasha ran to the hospital phone at the front desk.
"Hello mom?"..."It's time... Kagome is having the baby."..."I'm at the hospital now and they just took Kagome into the delivery room."..."Okay hurry." Inuyasha hung up with Mrs. Higurashi and ran to the delivery room. A/N: I'm not sure how it's spelt but who cares? It's my story. As Inuyasha bursted through the double doors of the delivery room the nurses quickly ordered Inuyasha to wear a doctors outfit and a mask. Inuyasha grunted at the idea but knew he had to. Once he had everything on he quickly went to Kagome's side. "I'm here now Kagome, and mom is on her way with Souta and Grandpa." Kagome forced a smile and nodded. "Thank you Inuyasha." She grabbed his hand and leaned up to kiss him as he leaned down. Just then Kagome's grip on Inuyasha's hand tightened quickly, screaming in pain. Inuyasha wanted to fall to his knees for how badly she was squeezing his hand. The doctor came running into the room and quickly went to Kagome's feet. "Now Ms. Kagome I'm gonna need you to push." Kagome nodded and pushed, screaming more and tightning her hand around Inuyasha's even more. Inuyasha started to make weird faces of pain and little grunts as she squeezed his hand. "That's it you're doing fine. Breath and continue to push." Said the doctor and Kagome did as told. "Okay now start pushing with everything you have Ms. Kagome." Kagome pushed as hard as she could, screaming loudly. Inuyasha was yelling in pain as well from the intence squeezing Kagome has on his hand.
Kagome felt like she was about to pass out untill she heard a baby cry. Hearing the cry brought a smile to her face and on Inuyasha's as well. The doctor held up the baby as they cut the cord. "It's a... girl" The doctor hesitated, staring at the strang dog-like ears the baby had, along with jet black hair like Kagome's" The doctor handed the baby to a nurse to have her cleaned up. Once the nurse returned, the baby was wrapped in a soft blanket, fast asleep. Then nurse handed Kagome the baby and she took her in her arms. "Oh my god Inuyasha just look at her. She is adorible." Inuyasha smiles. "Gets it from her mother." Kagome smiles and leans up and kisses him. "But she got the cute ears from you." Kagome said, smiling and causing a blush to go across his face. "What are we gonna name her?" Asked Kagome. "Why don't you name her?" Inuyasha replied. Kagome smiles. "Alright... we will call you... Keira." A/N: Pronounced as Kee-ra for those that didn't know. Yes I know, but I couldn't think of anything else. I was sitting here for an hour like... duuuuuuh... trying to think of an anime name. God it's so hard to do. Inuyasha smiles and nods. "That's a good name." Kagome smiles and nods. "Keira..." Inuyasha said softly as he brushed his hand through Keira's hair.
Soon, Inuyasha came out of the delivery room, pushing Kagome in a wheel chair and she was holding Keira in her arms. Kagome's mom looked to see them coming and quicly got up and ran over to them. She was in tears of joy, seeing her grandchild in her daughters arms, sleeping peacfully. "Oh my god, she is so adorible." Said Mrs. Higurashi. "That's what we said." Kagome said with a smile, looking down at her new born daughter. "The doctors said I have to stay and rest here for a few days." Kagome said, handing Keira to her mom. She took Keira gently in her arms and started to rock her gently. "You gonna stay here with her Inuyasha?" Both Souta and Mrs. Higurashi asked. Inuyasha nodded slightly. "Yeah, of course I am." He smiled, looking at Kagome. Kagome returned a smile and they kissed again. Mrs. Higurashi handed Keira back over to Kagome. "Well it's late and we gotta get going home. You... three..." She smiles, saying that. "Should get some rest yourselves." Inuyasha and Kagome both nodded. "Yes mom." And off they went in seperate directions.
It has been 3 days since the delivery and Kagome was now able to go home with the baby. "You ready Kagome?" Asked Inuyasha. Kagome, looked down at Keira, sleeping in her arms, then back up to Inuyasha with a smile and a nod. "Yeah, I'm ready to go home." Inuyasha smiles and carries both Kagome and Keira, carrfully back to the house. When they returned home from the hospital, everyone was so happy. "Yay, you're home sis!" Souta said in excitment. "Sssshhh... the baby is sleeping." Whispered Kagome. "Oop... sorry sis." Whispered Souta. Souta smiled and looked at his little neice in Kagome's arms. "Wow... she looks exactly like what Inuyasha would look like if he was a girl and has black hair." Said Souta. Kagome giggled and Inuyasha fwapped Souta on the head. "Inuyasha... what was that for?" Said Kagome, trying not to wake up Keira. "He should know." Souta rubbed the lump on his head. "Yeah, no worries sis, I knew it was coming." Kagome shook her head and walked up to her room, muddering. "Boys..."
About 10 minutes later Inuyasha came into Kagome's room with lunch. "Kagome you hungry?" He walked in to Kagome breast feeding Keira. Kagome looked to Inuyasha and smiled with a nod. "Yeah I am." She smiles and looks down at Keira feeding and rubbed the top of her head. "She sure is hungry too." Kagome giggled. Inuyasha sat next to Kagome on the bed and placed their lunches between them. "Did you wake her up?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome shook her head. "Nope... she woke up herself." Inuyasha smiles. "Wow... and I didn't hear no crying." Kagome nodded. "Yep... she's gonna be a good girl." Kagome said, rubbing the top of Keira's head more. Keira was finished feeding and Kagome fixed her shirt, and put Keira over her shoulder and started to pat her back untill Keira let out a little burp. "Gross..." Inuyasha complained. Kagome giggled. "Oh don't be such a whinner, she is only a baby and beside, we gotta burp her after she is done eatting." Inuyasha nodded with a smile and kissed Kagome. Kagome returned the kiss then stood up and went over to Keira's crib and layed her down and she quickly fell asleep. "God Inuyasha, I can't believe how adorible she looks." Inuyasha smiles and walks next to her and puts an arm around her waist. "Like I said, she gets it from her mother." Then they both kissed Keira on the head and headed back to the bed and sat down, starting to eat their lunch. "We gonna go back to show everyone our daughter?" Inuyasha asked while taking a big bite of his sandwich. Kagome smiles with a mouth full of food and nodded.
Meanwhile, back in the Feudal Era, Sango was pacing back and forth. "I wonder if everything is okay. I wonder if it's a boy or a girl." Sango kept asking similer questions as she continued to pace around the hut. "My god Sango, calm yourself. I'm sure things are fine and they will come visit soon to let us see what the baby looks like." Said Keade, trying to calm Sango's nerves. Sango smiles and nods and sits down, having a cup of tea. Then, just like before, Kirara let out a squeek and stood up and ran out the hut. Sango blinked in confusion. "Could they be back?" "There is only one way to find out." Said Keade, standing to her feet. Sango nodded and stood up as well and walked out of the hut. Shortly after exiting the hut a real big smile came across her face. "Kagome! Inuyasha!" Yelled Sango and ran over to them. She gave them both a hug and looked down at Keira. "Oh my god, so adorible. Is it a boy or a girl and what is the name?" Sango asked, a bit anctious. "Wow Sango, relax. It's a girl and her name is Keira." Said Kagome. Sango smiles. "Sorry Kagome, things have just been stressfull cause I still haven't heard from Miroku." Kagome handed Keira over to Inuyasha and went to comfort Sango. "Sango, Miroku will come back." Kagome said to try and cheer her up. "Yeah I know, I just hope it's soon."
