Chapter 11: Pain

Inuyasha opened his eyes. The sun was shinning down on him. He yawned and stretch his arms. Something.. no someone was snuggled up against hi.

He looked down to see his beloved resting peacefully against him. It seemed to be a beautiful morning. He wouldn't mind staying home and just relaxing for a day. The only thing was Miroku was still in trouble. He couldn't just leave his friend there, while he relaxed. Sango would have a mental breakdown if Miroku died.

It would take Inuyasha a while to get to where he needed to go to save Miroku, he hated the thought of leaving Kagome alone with the pups for that long. He knew Kagome would hate it too and not only that., it was dangerous. He couldn't just leave them here all alone with no protection like he did last time. They had been in danger and he had wasted so much time.

As dominate, male mate it is he responsibility to protect his mate and pups, as well as be there for them at all times. He was doing a bad job so far and had caused Kagome more stress than necessary.

It wasn't safe for her here in this time. He would need to get her and the pups somewhere safe. He could have Sango and Shippo go with Kagome and the pups to a safe place, while he took Kirara. Since Kirara could fly it would be quicker with her.

He sighed. Now he just had to think of a place safe for Kagome and the others.

After a few moments of thinking he came to a decision. The modern era. In the modern era she would be protected from demons and evil that could be of any harm to his family. Soshi was there and could also protect Kagome from people in her time that could be a possible threat.

"Inu.." Kagome mumbled as she snuggled closer to her mate. She was still half asleep, maybe more.

"Kags." Inuyasha pulled her tighter to explain his plans. "Today I'm going to take you, the pups, Sango, and Shippo all to the modern era. You can show Sango around there."

"What.. about you?" She mumbled. She slowly flickered her eyes open.

"I'm going to go after Miroku and save him from Dayu, what else?"

"No.." Kagome turned away from him and yawned. "Your not." She closed her eyes intent on resting some more.

"Kagome, I've got to go."

"Not on your own."

"K.." He was cut off from the sound of crying. He sighed. "Can you get that?"

"They're your kids too!" She got up obviously her mood was becoming angrier. Inuyasha figured it was just hormones making her this way. She was pregnant after all. She quickly grabbed a robe and wrapped it around her still nude form.

She walked out her room towards her room and when she entered they immediately stopped crying. She sighed and walked out, but as soon as she left they cried again. She stepped back in and they stopped.

Kagome walked over to the twins to see them smile up at her. She smiled and picked them up.

"So you just want to be held, huh?" She walked in her and Inuyasha's room to see him putting on his clothing. "Inuyasha." He looked to her and the twins. "Watch them. I'm going to take a bath." She went over to him and placed the twins in his arms. He held them as Kagome went through her things.

"We need to talk." Inuyasha informed. Kagome just kept going through her things, pulling out her supplies.

"We'll take when I'm done with my bath.. and oh feed them." Inuyasha looked at her incredulously and then at his chest.

"I don't think it works for me." He informed blankly. Kagome looked at him.

"Not breast feed baka! Use the bottle. You'll need to warm up the formula."

"I don't know how to use a bottle wench."

"It's easy." Kagome stood and grabbed an empty bottle. "First put the formula in." She held out some formula and put it in the bottle. "Add some water and a little milk." She added it. "Warm it up and then stick this.." She pointed to the bottle top. "In the babies mouth and let them drink. Everyone little while pull away and give them air. When you're done burp them like a always do." She explained. Inuyasha nodded.

Kagome grabbed the rest of her things and headed down to the hot spring.

She looked left and right to make sure no one was watching. She felt foolish for thinking anyone would. The barrier protected people from entering. She groaned and removed her rob and slowly slid into the water.

She relaxed against a smooth rock in the water and grabbed some soap. She slowly rubbed her figure with it and tried to get herself as clean as she could muster. She rinsed it and added the shampoo.

As Kagome rubbed the shampoo deep into her hair she could feel a weary presence near. She wondered is she was feeling false things or if someone actually was watching her.

She looked around quickly. Her heart was racing. She felt so lonely for some reason.

"Who's there?" Kagome called out. She knew someone was watching her. The feeling was there and she had learned to trust her instincts over time. Why was this feeling so absolutely horrible? She could almost tremble in fear.

She looked around quickly in wonder. 'This awful feeling.' She couldn't stop her eyes from wondering around in dread. She hoped it wasn't something to bad and she really hoped it hadn't passed the barrier.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha voice pulled her from her thoughts. Inuyasha jumped in the water like a lighting bolt and tightly wrapped his arms around Kagome. They were both dragged under water.

What was going on? Something was pulling them under. No.. not pulling.. pushing. Kagome felt herself loosing air. He hands gripped Inuyasha and her nails dug into his skin. She was trying to warn him now much air she needed.

Inuyasha seemed to get the sign as he sky rocketed out of the water. Kagome was gasping for air. She coughed up water.

Inuyasha placed her on the ground and quickly took her towel and covered her. She passed out. 'She swallowed to much water.' Inuyasha came to the notion frantically. He quickly leaned down and placed his lips over hers. Her held her mouth open with one hand and tried breathing air into her. He got up and pushed on her stomach a little. He repeated this until she began coughing up water.

Kagome focused her blurry vision on Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed and gripped his arms tightly as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. 'The baby..' She thought with wide eyes. She heard a laugh and looked over to the hot spring. A demon was standing there.

"You know when you make a barrier you should at least make sure there are no weak points. I will return. I am under oath of Lord Dayu." The demon disappeared and Inuyasha growled at him.

He then looked down at Kagome as she gripped him.

"Help.. the baby.. something's wrong." Kagome moaned out in pain. Inuyasha looked completely worried. Kagome had warned him about something like this happening. He wrapped his arms around her and into the hut.

He placed Kagome on the bed and tossed her, her clothing.

"You'll need to put these on, while I get the twins." Inuyasha ran down the hall and grabbed the twins from the play room. He picked them up and headed back into Kagome and his room with great haste.

Kagome was dressed and still clasping her stomach. Inuyasha placed the twins on the bed. Kagome let him pick her up and then she placed the twins in her arms.

It was only seconds later Inuyasha was out the door and jumping off.

I'll update soon.
