Changing

Chapter 5

Shock was covering Kagome's face as she touched her stinging cheek, she got off of souta and sat on the soft grass. Hana then sat beside kagome putting her hand on her cheek. The pain went away and kagome looked at Hana.

"I need to talk to you lady kagome." kagome then looked up to sesshoumaru.

"We can after..we get back to Sango's hut." every one then left inuyasha all alone in the clearing. Sesshoumaru held kagome who held chikira, souta had a ride with Hana on her giant leaf (similar to Kagura's feather). Shippo sat with sango and miroku on Kirara, they all soon arrived at the hut.

Miroku built a fire and sango started cooking, every one sat around the fire, sesshoumaru was sitting against the wall behind kagome, chikira was on the right side of her, shippo on the other, souta sat beside Hana across from kagome, he watched Hana as she talked to kirara.after every one settled in Hana started talking.

"Kagome, I was summoned from the forest about you, I am the reincarnation of mother nature, I heal and rebuild the world. You are getting stronger and stronger every day, and soon you will be too strong to control yourself. I have came here at first to help this village, but then my new mission is to be by your side. I will teach you how to control you power, I know I am young but I am wise. You are in great danger and so is this world, it needs your help, but you need its help also. There is a new enemy, stronger than even naraku could be, stronger than anything, he is the darkest demon alive and wants to rule over this world." every one had worry, shock, and confusion cross the face.

"Well what do we do?"

"Train, the battle will not be any were near soon so we have some time to train."

"So when do we train?"

"As soon as I get more info about this demon." she then smiled and bowed her head.

"But for now we should enjoy life and have fun." every one but kagome smiled, she then stood but then instantly fell back to sesshoumarus arms, she clutched her stomach and her eyes squeezed shut.

"The pup?" sesshoumaru said aloud making every one look at him. Hana was instantly by her side with her ear to her stomach.

"The baby is being purified, well close to being, the evergy that went through her body did this, I can speed up its growth span if you want?" she said quickly, kagome nodded.

"As long as it wont get hurt, i..know its Inuyasha's, but its also mine..and I don't...want ..it to die...because..of me." she then gasped at the pain. Hana put her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes while chanting. Sango stood up.

"All you guys get out, only girls can stay, well kids have to leave too." she then pushed every one out of the hut. Hurrying around the room she grabbed supplies. Soon a scream could be heard form sango as she clutched the side of the hut, holding her stomach. Miroku ran in the hut to see his wife panicking.

"MIROKU get out, go get help!" she screamed and tried laying down on the futon beside kagome. Hana looked at sango with worry.

"Just keep working on kagome il be ok." she then started breathing hard. Before Hana's eyes, Kagome's stomach went huge, then her water broke. Kagome screamed at the baby thrashed in her stomach beging to be let out. 2 older women and a younger one in her 20s came into the hut. One older went to sango the other to kagome, the younger one went to sango while Hana stayed with kagome. Both girls screamed.

outside the hut

miroku sat on edge watching the hut with fright all over his face. Sesshoumaru was tense, every time he heard kagome scream he almost fell over trying not to run into the hut. Chikira hung to shippo, she started crying and shippo got freaked out but then started patting her back telling her there mother would be fine. After almost hours kagome stopped screaming a then minutes later sango stopped screaming and a baby could be heard. Every one waited patiently for there signal to come in. After a while the three women walked out of the hut and back to there daily business. Hana walked out of the hut and nearly collapsed, but souta caught her. Every one except souta and Hana ran into the hut. Sesshoumaru was the first one to enter, he was welcomed with a very tired looking kagome holding a little pup with white hair. She smiled motherly down at it, and slightly looked up at sesshoumaru, then she slipped her mask on. Sesshoumaru was amazed of how good she could hold her emotion, it was almost like she took in his coldness and gave him her softness. He walked quietly over to her and sat down beside of her. She was about to fall into a deep sleep but before she did she told him something. slowly she pulled him down to her, whispering,

"that is your daughter..take-" she then fell back to the cot. Sesshoumaru fallowed her outstretched finger to the little girl standing at the foot of the cot. Sesshoumaru then got up and picked up the baby from her hands and covered her up. Every one stared wide eyed at how he was so soft. He turned to chikira,

"come with me." he then left the hut fallowed by chikira. He then sat at the base of the tree inuyasha first saw kagome after 5 years. He held the pup closely and chikira looked nervously at him before sitting down.

"This sesshoumaru is your father." chikira then smiled ear to ear.

"Mommy said I didn't have a daddy, and every time I asked her she cried, but im chikira." she then hugged the demon lord. He just sat there with a little 10 year old hanging to him and a new born baby in his hands. He could easily kill both kids, but he didn't want to for some reason. He sat there until the little girl stopped talking about what has happened to her through life, she fell asleep beside him. Silently he picked up the little girl with the baby still in the other arm and walked back to the hut. When he got in the small hut every one looked at him, kagome was still asleep on the cot. Sango then got up and took the baby from his arms and set her down next to her own little boy near the fire to keep warm. Miroku handed him a bowl of soup sango made and started eating his own. All the kids were sleeping except souta and Hana, the went back outside after dinner. Shippo curled up near Kirara and the babies were covered by her tails, chikira cuddled next to her adopted brother as the soundlessly slept.

with souta

souta laid on a field close to the village with Hana beside him, they both stared up at the starry sky.

"Its not this beautiful were I live." he said quietly.

"Why is that, what village do you live in?"

"Well I don't live in a village, I live in the future, 500 years from now."

"Thats unbelievable." she then looked at him.

"Well believe it, its kinda cool, I mean there's a lot of houses and building so there's hardly any beautiful fields like these."

"I believe you." she then smiled at him.

"So tell me about yourself?"

"Like what." he asked while looking back up at the stars.

"You favorite things, what you love, things like that."

"Well my favorite color is green, my favorite animal is a...grey wolf, I love my sister and mother, oh and gramps, My father died when I was still in my mothers womb, sis said he's mean, I've just lived a normal life in the future. How about you?"

"Well as you said I love green, because thats what im around most of the time, and its tyhe color of the forest, my favorate animal is a panther, I never met my mother or father, they left me after they found out what I am." she then looked away from him and into the sky.

"Why, what did they do, and what are you exactly?" she then giggled.

"You ask a lot of questions. Well one day I was playing outside when I was 3 and I touched the ground with my hands, flowers and beautiful shrubs started growing, at first my parents were amazed but then a demon came one day and informed my parents what I was and what I could do. They both got scared and left me, they said I could kill them, but I have never killed anything in my life, I don't know who that demon is, and I want revenge, if he didn't tell my parents lies, then I could still have a home." she then frowned.

"Well we can be your new family, I meen my sis is the nicest, so is her friends, even though I don't know them, only inuyasha."

"Well inuyasha wasn't so nice, and any ways I don't want to put your sister under such responsibility, I mean I have been going through life sense I was 3, I can still do it."

"But you can have friends, it makes life a whole lot easier." she then sat up, turning her head to look sideways at him.

"All my friends used me, or betrayed me, how can I trust to have any one." souta looked into her sad eyes.

"You can trust me, im not like a lot of people, and you can trust kagome and her friends."Hana then stood up.

"I guess your right." she then started walking back to the hut, leaving souta to watch her retreating form. Slowly he rose from the ground, sighing he started back to the hut.
