chp 28
Her eyes scanned the area, wondering where the presense was coming from. She knew it was her master's, or at least, she thought he was her master. After those words, that he didn't keep her around...it confused her beyond explination. The underground lair was now deemed unsafe, and so it was abandoned by all but herself. Nothing was changed, except now there were no more girls left in the cells. Her heart was so unsure of what was to come. Would she cease to ever find freedom, or would Naraku call to her again, forcing her protection on himself...
She didn't know...
Even Bankotsu was gone, his powers needed elsewhere. She was alone now, and wandered the abandoned fortress looking for something she hadn't seen in a long while. Her Naginata, her weapon of choice. In fact, now that she thought about it, it was the choice Naraku ever gave her, eveything else was a command.
She walked down the corridors, her hands feeling the walls down the dark hallway. She stepped on a loose floorboard, and heard a noise that made her shutter in goosebumps. She held her arms for warmth, as if the very air was sucking it all out of her. She wished she had her kimono, which although not very thick, would have at least kept her a little warmer. She only had the outift from her last battle, which was soiled and dirty. Just a simple red chinese dress with the sleeves cut off, cut up past her thighs. She sighed, wishing she grabbed the black kimono...
She finally found an area of the hallway that had a dim light to it, and followed it to find her old room. The gray room was just the same, with the cement decorating the walls, and the gray cot in the middle of the room. Naraku didn't bother to try to make her life any worse, which she assumed just as well. At least he didn't take her belongings with him...
"I'm so confused,"She looked around,"And alone.."
She was still but a newborn, and had never experienced the sensation of being completely and utterly alone. It was like all the things that made her soul thrive had left, and the only movement inside her was shivers. Most people don't know what its like to not have a heart beat, not to have that pulsation through out your body...
But she didn't have the chance to feel alot of things, so it was really no great loss to her.
She heard a the foundation settle, and jumped. She hated that, when the room just cracked in the middle of the night. She blinked for a few seconds, and went back to changing. She looked in her beau, and found...
New...clothes...
She looked at the odd looking clothing, never before seeing anyone wear such things. She held up the thick blue pants, looking at how akwardly they narrows at the thigh, and flared at the knee. She had seen an adversisment for these once..
"Jones, I think..."
She rummaged through a bit, finding a shirt. But it was quite revealing, going up past her shoulders, held on only by little strings of fabric. The fabric lining the top was very thin, with a tremendous amount of holes in a delicate pattern. She looked around and saw a few more of those thick pants. Also other odd shirts, with witty writing on them or something.
"Green eyed beauty..?"
She looked a little longer, and came into contact with a note..
Sorry I had to run off, but duty called. I'll be back soon though, til then here are some clothes and money, so you can blend in. That Inuyasha fellow should be able to help you out, ask him for some help if you need it.
-Bankotsu
Her eyes went wide at the name, Bankotsu did this for me? She felt almost guilty, that he had gone through the trouble to help her...
"You did that...for..me?"
It was akward, to think that someone really cared about her that way. She was so..warm now. She was used to feeling all this hatred and cold, but ever since Bankotsu came along...she's felt...warmth...

Kagome sat in the front seat of the car, rummaging through her purse. She was trying to find her lipstick, but was having quite an unlucky day. She couldn't find it ANYWHERE!
"Kagome, are you ok?"
She growled,"I can't find it anywhere..."
"Find what?"
"My lipstick..."
He looked thoughtful,"You know you don't need it. Its not like you need to impress the doctor or anything..."
"But I feel better about myself, the doctor has NOTHING to do with it!"
She pouted for a second, then felt somehting plop in her lap...her lipstick tube!
"It was in the laundry.."he said blantly...
She sighed, almost in depressed that he hadn't given it to her before she had asked. She opened the sunshield, and pulled open the mirror. She took the soft pink, and quickly dabbed her lips with the make-up. She rubbed her lips together, and smiled.
"Do you like this new shade?"
He didnt even look at her,"It looks nice..."
She glared,"You didn't even look!"
"I don't have to look, you look fine without it."
"But I might look better!"
He took a quick glance,"You look perfect..."
She gave him an annoyed glare,"Whatever..."
She sighed, and looked out the window. The houses were all lined up in a row, one right next to the other. Neutral tones of gray and blue were mainly all the houses, nothing stood out. She sighed, thinking how boring it must be to lead a normal life, not to have a boyfriend who's a super hero..
She smiled to herself, remembering when she lead a boring life. Day to day was the same, nothing ever changed..
At least not til she met Inuyasha. That day was the best and worst day of her life. It was the best because she had found him, but it was the worst because it would ultimately lead to the rivalry between Naraku and Inuyasha. Now Inuyasha was so worked up about finding him, he hardly did anything else. He was always following leads on missing persons, or looking through abandoned places he might be hiding.
Slayer and Kazanna were always nearby to help in the fight. They hadn't found Naraku, but they had busted a few of his hideouts. Some had nuclear weapons in them, which scared Kagome to death when she heard. But she knew that he would be safe, that he would return to her. Something inside connected them to each other, so it was almost like they could experience each others days. Kagome sometimes dreamt about fighting the men, in Inuyasha's place.
Inuyasha said he dreamt about going to the doctor's and rubbing his tummy. That made Kagome smile...
Soon they pulled into a driveway, and Kagome assumed it to be the doctor's. She looked, and saw the familiar medical sign saying Dr. Myoga Flea, Medical Practice... Inuyasha parked soon after, finding a nice close spot near the door.
She leaned over to open the car door, and got out. Her swollen belly was more of a burden now a days, being more than 4 months pregnant. She felt Inuyasha arm around her, giving her extra support to lean on.
"Thanks, Inuyasha..."
He nodded, smiling,"Lets go meet this doctor you've been raving about..."
Kagome and Inuyasha walked in together for a change, her leaning on his arm. Kagome walked up to the recptionist's counter,"Higurashi, Kagome.."
The woman flipped through some files, and found what she was looking for,"Ah here for an ultrascan I see. Good for you honey, you can go right on in. The doctor's all set."
Inuyasha placed his arms around her back, and lent his other arm for her personal use. She gratefully accepted, and walked through the door into the examination room. Inuyasha opened the door for her, and she walked over to the bench, and sat down. Inuyasha sat in a chair across from her, staring at her...
"Know what," She said...
"What?"
"I don't like your hair like that, looks better down..."
He smiled,"Yea I know, but this is easier to conceal my identity..."
She pouted,"But I like your bangs, you look so rugged and handsome..."
He got all serious,"And I'm not handsome now?"
She laughed, his face exactly like a womans,"Of course you are, you're perfect..."
"Apparently not, if you like me better one way or another.."
He sqwinched his lips to the side, and wrinkled his nose. She couldn't help but laugh at the face,"You're a silly super hero.."
He got a little shot down at that one,"Oh yeh..."
"With your skin tight cat suit, and your painted eyes, and your hair all up in a pony tail. Were's your cape surperman?"
"Know for a little while I almost had a cape..."
"You woulda looked like batman! All you needed was a black hat on your head, your ears could have been the pointy things!"
He shook his head, laughing at the thought. Kagome couldn't help but smile, his face was so cute...
Suddenly the door clicked, and Dr. Myoga walked in. He was smiling, which was a good thing,"The operation was completely a success. The tumor was removed successfully, and the baby is fine and healthy."
Kagome breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled the most beautiful smile Inuaysha had ever seen. He couldn't help but smile, and let himself breathe a little easier.
"But there's something else, I must tell you..."
He knew, that she would be scared, that news had hardly been kind to her lately. But he knew, that this would only bring her more joy..
"The reason your bely is so abnormally large is...you're having twins."
Her face dropped,"I'm having...two babies..."
"Yes, but I must ask your permisson to tell you the details.."
She looked at Inuyasha, and he shook his head 'no',"I want it to be a surprise, if they are identical or not, or if its two boys, or two girls or a boy and a girl...Inuyasha we could name them Chiyo and Kuro!"
He looked at her, smiling,"Mhmm..."
She looked at the doctor,"Thank you so much!"
He smiled, knowing that she deserved this wonderful news more than anyone...
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Inuyasha opened the door, carring Kagome into the apartment. They both couldn't stop smiling, the wonderful feeing of being a parent taking over both of them. Kagoem wrapped her arms around Inuyasha, pulling herself close to him.
"Inuyasha, did you realize...we're gonna need two cribs!"
"Yup..."
"And two cradles, and two...Inuyasha TWO babies!"
She giggled like a silly school girl, completely wrapped up in her own world. But Inuyasha couldn't have that luxory right now. Yes, he was extremely happy, but he was now even more burdened. Naraku was still out there, still consuming his thoughts. If something wasn't done, Naraku could take all this away from him. No matter what, he had to keep his mind focus on Naraku...
But for now, he desided it would be ok, for him to celebrate. He was going to have two babies, with the woman of his dreams...
It was more than anyone could ever hope of...
