Sequel Chapter 21
The villagers were all ready to go and waited for further instructions. They were all in a group waiting with kids playing around. Tisane volunteered himself to take Kagome's cart to the village and Inuyasha accepted. Kagome was asleep on Yoshiro who was in dog form which is a good thing for Inuyasha. Hikari was on Kagome's stomach. Yoshiro took the front left side, Inuyasha took the front right side, Miroku took the back right side, Sango took the back left side, and Tisane was in the middle. They surrounded the villagers so they wouldn't be attacked. After a few minutes of checking everything out; they left.
Hours passed by and Kagome was asleep through them. She finally decided to wake up to a crying Hikari. Her head throbbed but she got up and fed her. Kagome looked around tiredly and felt fur. The scent was Yoshiro and she yawned sleepily.
Yosh… what's going on? And why does my head hurt? Kagome asked.
So, you finally decide to wake up? Tisane said you were poisoned but he got most of it out. Yoshiro replied.
Kagome looked at the villagers while Hikari finished feeding and they were exhausted. She growled and told Yoshiro to halt so Hikari can stay on his back and then jumped to Inuyasha. Boy did she look as mad as hell.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? Have you even taken any breaks!" Kagome asked.
"Uh…"
"You idiot…" She growled. "We'll stop here for a while everyone to take a rest." Kagome shouted to the villagers and they all fell down exhausted.
"See? Their tired, they aren't use to walking for long periods of time and they're carrying things with them!" Kagome growled.
"How was I supposed to know?" Inuyasha growled back.
Kagome lunged herself at him angrily and they fell to the ground. Inuyasha got her off carefully in a way and jumped a few feet away. She chased after him angrily and he tried to avoid the angry female.
"Tisane, why is she trying to kill me!" Inuyasha shouted as she kept trying to attack him.
"She probably feels distrusted because of last night!" Tisane shouted back.
"Damn it, that figures." Inuyasha mumbled to himself and was sent flying to the ground.
"Kagome, wait!" Inuyasha shouted to Kagome.
She knocked him down hill from the villagers. Inuyasha was on his ground, looking up at his mate. Kagome was looking down at him till she walked toward him and went on all four on top of Inuyasha. Their eyes locked.
"Why didn't you trust me to go on my own?" Kagome growled.
"If I had let you go on your own you could've been killed." Inuyasha replied.
"Tisane got me distracted; I knew where that stupid snake was till he came!" Her face inched toward his.
"Can you blame me for being worried?" Inuyasha brought his lips to hers. He felt her cool down and return the kiss.
She stopped their kiss. "I can blame you for not trusting me."
"Hey, there was sometimes you didn't trust me remember?"
"Those involved Kikyou when she tried to take you." She growled. "Everyone knows not to attack me when I'm on guard. If I'm not, then I can be a delicious meal to others who'd want to prey on me.
"Yeah, that's true, you do taste good." Inuyasha smirked.
"Don't start, I can tell you're already getting heated." She got off him.
"So? We can't have any fun?"
"Inuyasha, I'm already pregnant, so lay off."
"How come I can't lay on?"
"Will you just shut up?"
"Sure."
"You piss me off!"
"I love you too."
"YOU ASSHOLE!" Kagome darted to the trees.
"Hey, get back here!" Inuyasha chased after her.
They passed everyone about seven times and they all wondered what was going on. Half the time they were just a blur zipping past by. Yoshiro and Tisane kept watching them go back and forth. Suddenly a loud ringing noise came from Kagome's boxes and scared everyone.
"YOU BROUGHT THAT THING ALONG?" Inuyasha shouted.
"Don't blame me, I didn't pack it, mom did." Kagome said plainly and jumped over some villagers to the cart with her stuff. "Found it." She took out the alarm clock and pushed the button.
"Is that a demon?" A little boy asked.
"Nope; it's something that can tell time." Kagome replied and put it away.
"Got you!" Inuyasha shouted as he tried to pounce on her but she dodged.
"Missed me!" She shouted and jumped on Yoshiro's back then picked up Hikari. "You wouldn't come after me with Hikari in my hands would you?" She grinned and tickled her daughter. Hikari went into a laughing fit.
"No, I wouldn't." He walked to them and kissed Hikari's forehead.
"You do know half the villagers are watching?"
"…Crap…"
"Okay, we'll cover some more tracks for the day and camp at sunset. Elders and children come forth." Kagome ordered and they all came. "Eleven elders, Yoshiro, can you handle that many?" She asked him and he nodded then lied down so the elder couldn't get on. "Inuyasha hold Hikari." She demanded and he listened then Kagome helped the elders on Yoshiro's back. "Okay Yosh, you're all set." Kagome patted him and he got up. She bent down to the children and they looked all happy. "You kids can play but make sure you're in my sight or behind me playing. If any of you get tired just tell me and we'll stop, okay?" She asked and they all nodded and started to play.
"Damn you're use to this shit aren't you?" Inuyasha asked as he gave Kagome Hikari.
"You'll get use to it soon. I still have to teach you the ways of being a lord." Kagome kissed his cheek.
"Aww, how come I couldn't get one on the lips?" He whimpered.
"You want the whole village watching us and with kids right behind us playing?"
"We're not going to have alone time for a while are we?"
"Nope, not for three or four days."
"This is hell."
Two days went by slowly, especially for Inuyasha. He wanted his ears rub from Kagome but no, too many people around. So all he did was pout and stay with Kagome. She would giggled every now and then at it.
Kagome, have you found out the reason of your morning sickness? Yoshiro asked.
She nodded. I think I'm having more than one pup. Kagome replied.
Yoshiro's ears perked. Does Inuyasha know?
Nope, but don't tell him. She grinned. That goes for you too Tisane!
Damn! Why can't I spoil it! Tisane whined.
Do you want to face my little angry tantrum?
ANYTHING BUT THAT!
"Are you threatening them without me?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"No, I would never do that my love." Kagome replied sweetly and received a snort from Tisane. "Tisane was the one doing the threatening!" Kagome pretended to whine.
"WHAT!" Tisane shouted.
"Nice try Kagome; I can tell if it's true." He snickered.
"Only because of the mate marks, cheater." She pouted then a tug came at her leg and she looked down.
"We're tire of playing because there's nothing to do." A little boy said and gave her a puppy face.
"Okay dear." Kagome then whistled loudly.
"Since when have you said 'dear' to someone?" Inuyasha questioned.
"I'm sorry dear are you getting jealous?"
"N-no, the hell I would." He grumbled as some dogs came.
Play with the kids. Kagome demanded and they obeyed.
The kids all started to play with the dogs. They even chased them around Kagome.
It made her smile a little and Inuyasha saw it. That only made Inuyasha smile too. He wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her close.
"Can we have this many pups?" Inuyasha whispered.
"Inuyasha there's like twelve kids right here." Kagome whispered back.
"Yeah, I know."
"You really do act like a dog for wanting too many pups. The second batch isn't going to be around till like. My birthday or something."
"That would be a good gift now wouldn't it?"
"Down boy. You're starting to make me think like your Miroku."
Inuyasha sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Will you please consider to my bear more of my pups?" He asked with a grin which only made Kagome growl dangerously.
ZAP
Inuyasha flew sideways into the grass. "What the hell was that for!" He shouted.
"It wasn't me!" Kagome said as she laughed.
"Bull shit, then who was it?"
"It was Hikari! She was protecting me from the contagiousness you caught from Miroku!"
"She can already harness her priestess powers!"
"Naturally." Kagome winked and jumped over everyone's head and was now next to Sango.
"What just happened?" Sango questioned.
"Inuyasha was being like Miroku and asked me to 'consider bearing more of his pups'." Kagome sighed.
"Yikes, Miroku really IS contagious… well, to other guys."
"Yup, but what makes it funnier is that Hikari used her miko powers to stop him." She squealed.
"But she looks asleep."
"She is now, it was her second time using her miko powers."
"When was the first?"
"When she gave me energy to kill Naraku."
"But how can she have priestess powers anyways? I mean, that's never happened before." Sango questioned.
"I passed it down to her. Hikari will be the strongest because of the miko powers that I posses, plus me and Inuyasha's fathers' strength. Nothing can be that."
"So you have to transfer energy?"
"Yup, I did it the night of celebration, I just didn't tell Inuyasha. But the rest of our pups will be normal."
"The rest?"
"Oh yeah… I'm already pregnant again." Kagome scratched the back of her head with one hand.
"So that's why you've been having crappy mornings?"
"Uh-huh. Actually, having one pup wouldn't do that. So I'm probably having more that one."
"I'm so happy for you!" Sango hugged her. They both giggled like the happy girls they were but…
"Kagome…" Inuyasha always has to ruin it.
Kagome sighed. "I'll talk to you later, Inuyasha getting annoyed already that I'm not at his side."
"Okay." Sango laughed as she jumped away.
"Jerk." Kagome scoffed.
"I want you by my side at all times till we got to the village. It's already pissing me off." Inuyasha explained.
She rubbed her neck. "Yeah I know, mind keeping the anger down?"
"Feh."
"Keh." She mocked him.
"…" Inuyasha growled.
"…" Kagome growled.
Their ears perked when they heard Hikari giggling. They looked at her and for sure she was laughing at them. Kagome giggled too at the cute face Hikari made. Inuyasha chuckled and brushed aside her bangs to the side. Then she put on a cute little mad face and tempted a 'keh'. Her parents laughed at the cuteness.
"She is so your daughter." Kagome laughed.
"Keh, I don't say that!" Inuyasha stated.
"Oh? But you just did smart one." She grinned.
"Damn…"
"I hope she doesn't get your crave of ramen."
"I hope she doesn't get your nagging."
"I do not nag!"
"You do too damn it!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"You're sleeping by yourself for a week." Kagome stated.
"You can't do that to me!"
"I just did."
"Bull shit! I…" Kagome cut him off.
"Stop yelling, all the villagers are probably looking at us now."
Inuyasha growled. "My mate is supposed to sleep with me at all times."
"Unless I feel like you've been a bad boy." Kagome replied just as annoyed.
Hikari didn't like how this fight was going and started to cry. She got Inuyasha and Kagome's attention and Kagome cradled her. Inuyasha just wrapped a hand around Kagome's waist and looked at Hikari closely.
"Shh, it's okay Hikari… we're stopping our fight… shh…" Kagome placed Hikari against her chest and rubbed her back softly.
"So Hikari agrees with you sleeping with me right?" Inuyasha asked.
"Idiot…" Kagome sighed and tripped him.
THUD!
"Oh wow, another way to send you to the dirt." Kagome snickered and Hikari started to giggle.
Inuyasha got up and saw that. "Well, she has your instant mood changes." He grumbled.
"All females have that smart one."
"Then why does hers start so soon?"
"She has two stubborn parents." Kagome stuck her tongue out playfully.
"Don't do that when I can't do anything about it."
She kissed his cheek. "Stubborn." She grinned.
"Feh." Inuyasha grumbled.
Night fall came that night and so all the villagers took the night to sleep. All the kids however stayed with Kagome and she told them stories. Nothing much but a few adventuring stories she went through here and there. You could tell from the look on their faces that they liked it. She even brought attention to a few adult and elders. A little less than half of the villagers came to listen.
"Priestess, what was the most thrilling adventure you ever been on!" A little boy asked.
"That's hard to say, I think they're all thrilling, and including right now." Kagome grinned.
"We're on an adventure?" Another boy asked.
"Yup, we're on an adventure to a new village where there's other kids your age."
"Wow!" All the kids said together.
"Milady, it's time to let the young ones sleep." A woman stated nicely.
"Alright, hey kids; you need to get your rest that way we can continue our adventure tomorrow." Kagome said excitedly to the kids.
"Can we see a demon tomorrow?" A little girl asked.
"These guys are demon, just well tamed." She snickered and point toward Yoshiro and Tisane.
"What do you mean tamed!" Tisane growled.
WHACK
"She meant we're mature, you on the other hand I doubt." Yoshiro stated after whacking him.
"Brothers will be brothers…" Kagome sighed.
All of the villagers decided to retire for the night. Kagome yawned, wanting to do just the same. Miroku and Sango were already resting against each other under a tree. Tisane and Yoshiro were even doing to the same. Inuyasha sat next to his mate and pup tiredly.
"So how many more days till we get to the village at this rate?" Inuyasha whispered.
"Half a day." Kagome smiled tiredly.
"What!" He yelled.
"Shh, keep it down."
"What do you mean have a day, we could've given continued on."
"Not really, if we did, we would have two days left."
"But then..."
Yoshiro, Tisane, you're awake right? Kagome asked.
Yeah, plenty of energy. Tisane said with his head down.
What's up? Want us to do something? Yoshiro asked.
Yeah, take my stuff to the village Tisane. Yoshiro, go grab Miroku and Sango, take them as well.
Alright. They both got up. See you when you return. They bowed and headed off with the things and people.
"Why did they take your stuff? And even Miroku and Sango? Kirara too." Inuyasha asked.
Kagome gave a low whistle then dozens and dozens of dogs came out. Recognize the sent of a human. When you do that, take their things and go to the village, pick a hut for them and stay there till we arrive.
They all nodded and went off to do as told. The dogs sniffed around at the person(s) they've chose and grabbed their stuff. When that was done, they scattered off to the village with it.
"Kagome, what is going on?" Inuyasha asked confusedly.
"You'll see tomorrow morning.
