Chapter Thirty-Six: His Love Her Grief

Kagome walked to the guest room carrying a tray. On this tray was a bandage, a cool rag, a bowl of ramen, a cold glass of water, and a phone. She opened the door and walked in quietly. He rose from his spot to smile very weakly at her. She smiled and set the tray down, gently not to disturb him or cause racket. She swayed to his bedside and lifted his head. She placed the cool rag carefully on his forehead. He uttered a thanks. She nodded and reached for the bandage.

"Please try to sit up." He did with ease and she wrapped his chest and shoulders in the white cloth. He winched and fell back to the bed.

"Kagome call Rin please." Kagome lifted the phone and called Rin.

"Rin hi. Sorry it's late... Oh yes he's here. Um yeah that's the bad part. Come over, no I'll send Inuyasha to get you. It's dangerous for you to be out alone. Okay bye." She hung up. "She was worried about you. Inuaysha." He walked in the door.

"Hm?"

"Go get Rin please." He nodded and grabbed the car keys leaving quickly. Kagome turned to Sesshomaru. "Are you hungry? Thirsty?" He shook his head.

"No." She smiled and shifted the tray.

"When you do get hungry here's some ramen and a glass of water. Need anything just say the word. I'll be in the next room with Shippo and Akio. Rin will be here shortly." He nodded. Kagome kissed his cheek. "Later I want to know what happened. Thank you so much for saving our baby. You are the best uncle ever. I love you." He kissed her forehead and smiled.

"Only for you Kagome." She knew what he meant. She walked to the next room and found Shippo playing peek-a-boo with Akio.

"Mommy she's playing with me!" Kagome smiled and picked up Akio and walked to the bed.

"Come here Shippo." He did and followed his mom to the bed.

"Yes momma?" Kagome had a tear slip and he looked at her with confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm just happy to have Akio back." He smiled and ran his small hand over her cheek.

"It's okay. That man is finally gone and we can live in peace." Kagome smiled.

"Yes I know." She picked him up and kissed his cheek. "I'm very happy to have a son like you. Akio is lucky." Shippo blushed.

"Aw mommy please." She laughed.

"I love you."

"I love you too mommy." Akio made a unhappy sound. "Akio's jealous of me!" Kagome laughed.

"Yes, but I love her too." Akio smiled and did a happy gurgle noise.

The door opened and a sound of thumping emitted from the hallway. A door opened and a cry echoed through the house.

"Shessy!" Rin ran through the doorway and to her husband. "How? You're way to powerful for this! What happened?" Inuaysha closed the door and doing so closed out the conversation. He walked into the room.

"Well she's depressed." Kagome nodded.

"Yeah. Shippo you wanna play with Akio in mommy's room?" Shippo smiled a mile wide and nodded. "Okay let's go." She carried Akio to the baby bed and placed her there. Shippo crawled up and began his game of peek-a-boo with her. Giggles emitted from her tiny throat. Kagome and Inuaysha smiled at the site and walked to the kitchen.

"I don't know what we can do." Inuyasha said once they entered the kitchen. Kagome made some coffee. "It's been seven months since we met Keisho and only one day since we have had Akio. Three more months and Sango has her twins. Two months since our honeymoon, and only five years since we finished our journey and only five years to ten years to finally beat that jackass Naraku!" Kagome didn't know what the heck he was talking about.

"Uh Inuyasha what are you talking about?" He paused and looked at her.

"What?" Kagome shook her head.

"Never mind. We need to talk to Rin after she's done with Shessy." She said quietly. "Inuyasha he's finally gone." She began to cry. "It's been so long since we started the journey to kill him. Now he's... gone." Inuyasha nodded. "I wish this thing never happened!" She shouted flinging a pillow at the door. " Sesshomaru wouldn't be hurt!" Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her.

"No Kagome. If none of this ever happened, we would of never met. We would of never fell in love and got married. Had Akio and adopted Shippo. Also our friendship with Sango and Miroku would never be. All because of you and breaking the shard, we made all this happen." She sniffled as the tears she didn't know she was shedding, fell. Kagome dug her head into his shoulder and smiled.

"Yeah you're right." She recalled all the memories that she shared on the journey. The time she first came and she had to take a bath in the cold river. When Inuyasha was bit by the poisonous spider demon, when they met Shippo, the first time Inuyasha ate ramen, first trip to modern Japan, Sango and Miroku's meeting, and the first time Kagome fell in love with Inuyasha. More memories she shared, more she wish she could repeat, more she wish she could redo, but redo or not, she cherished her memories. She hugged him tighter and kissed his cheek. "Memories we shared. Our first kiss to our first night, to our first child. We have all the memories and I do mean all." Inuyasha kissed her with passion.

A knock drew them apart. "Come in." Kagome whispered. Rin walked in.

"It's awful. He's not strong enough." She choked. "He said he doesn't know what to do." Kagome walked to her and kissed her forehead.

"Rin. He will make it. I promise you." Kagome walked passed her and into the room beside them. Inuaysha just stared at her blankly.

"Where did she go?" Rin asked. Inuaysha shrugged.

Next Room

"Sesshomaru Takasugi. Listen to me. You will make it or else... or else... I'll do something rash!" Sesshomaru looked at her.

"What are you shouting about woman!" Kagome rushed over to him. She knelt down and had tears form in her eyes.

"You are going to make it. You are going to live and make Rin happy and raise that child she bears like you are meant too. Now put your big boy underwear on and deal with it, I mean suck it up!" Sesshomaru just chuckled.

"I'll be fine. I just need to rest and recover." Kagome shook her head.

"Devil's power is to strong." Her body began to glow, her eyes went blank. "You need more power."

"I'm stronger than you woman. I can't heal you can't do it for me." Kagome grinned. She placed her hand upon his chest and smiled.

"I can too." She kissed him gently and released a surge of power. It filled his body and took over the power that flew about him. The devil's power disappeared and Kagome collapsed. He opened his eyes as he hissed in pain.

"Dang it woman what is your prob... Kagz? Kagome?" He lifted himself with ease. He was recovered... fully! He got up and pulled Kagome into his arms. She was pale and weak. Inuyasha opened the door.

"She's fine. She just used her sacred power. It's nothing but a faint. She'll be up and energized in a couple hours." Sesshomaru sighed, but gave a weird look. " I don't know what it is, but Keade showed her back during our travels." He chuckled and took Kagome in his arms. "Rin needs you more than Kagome." Sesshomaru smiled and nodded, walking away to his wife. Rin embraced him, kissing him with passion and love. He just embraced her.

Kagome did awake and she was more hyper then ever. She made coffee, baked a cherry pie, and a bowl of ramen and it was midnight! Inuaysha sat her down and tried to get her to calm down. She just pulled him close and started kissing him all over. If he was going to calm her down, she was going to do it her way. The bedroom door closed as did the hyper active girl.

-2 weeks later- (fast forward to Rin birth)

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rin screamed. Sesshomaru trying hard not to rip her hand from his right one as she squeezed the life from it. He made sure though his face was calm. She screamed her lungs out. "DANG IT FLUFFY! I HATE YOU! NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HAD SO MUCH PAIN! KAMI WHY ME! WHY NOT HIM!" She asked the ceiling as she pointed to her husband. He sighed and stared at her. He loved her, that much was sure. He kissed her forehead.

"I love you too baby." She pushed him away.

"I... AHHHH!"

"One more push Mrs. Takasugi!" Doctor Wolf, aka Keisho said. Kagome and Inuyasha were waiting outside in the waiting room. Inuyasha covered his ears.

"Dang woman, she's so loud!" Kagome stood and walked behind him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

"Yeah, but I was this way remember?" He chuckled.

"Yeah I still can't feel my right hand." Kagome laughed.

"Har har." She said. "I was under pressure." He kissed her.

"I know."

"AHHH! Shessy this is not what I had in mind!" She pushed one more time. "Hn!" A cry emitted from Keisho's arms as did one from Rin." She was finally calm.

"That wasn't so hard was it?" Sesshomaru said smiling. She hit him, glaring daggers.

"Shut up."

"I love you too." She smiled as he kissed her softly.

-Same day-

"What's his name?" Sango asked smiling at the small baby boy in Rin's arms. Akio rested softly in Inuyasha's lap. Kagome brought in a small bag from the back room and handed it to Sesshomaru.

"Here you go." He smiled.

"Thank you." He took it and opened it. A small ornament that read: To Sesshomaru, Rin, and Little baby Kisho. On the back it read: Kisho first day home.

Sango aww'd. "So Kisho is his name?" Rin smiled.

"Yes it means 'one who knows his mind'." Inuyasha laughed.

"Smart name Sesshomaru. I knew a name like that would suit your child." Kagome nodded.

"Yes very nice." Miroku chimed in. "Now Kagome that was a lovely gift." Kagome blushed, but laughed.

"Inuaysha, Akio, and I made it this morning when the baby was getting cleaned up. Sesshomaru told me the name of the baby and I had an idea click. Inuaysha agreed so we went to the gift shop, bought the nicest ornament, and painted what we felt was right on it." Kagome said holding up the white ornament with golden letters and glitter on it. Inuaysha smiled.

"Yeah a hell of a lot of work." Sesshomaru threw a pillow at him. "But all worth it." Kagome giggled.

Rin smiled. "Kagome will you take Kisho for me. I want to run to the girls room real quick. Sesshomaru will you go and receive the bags from the car. I have something to give everyone." She smiled handing their son to Kagome. She ran to the bathroom and Sesshomaru stood and walked out to the car. Kagome stared at the child. He had silver hair like Sesshomaru and black highlights. His ears were pointed and he had claws and fangs. He was yes, a half demon, so he had golden eyes and a tail... yeah don't know where that came from. I guess Sesshomaru's fluffy thing really is a tail... err... okay. Know he didn't look like a human nor a half-demon, but he was. And Rin and Shessy loved him. Inuyasha smiled at the child. He placed Akio by Kisho. Akio placed her small clawed hand upon Kisho's. They gurgled happily. Kagome aww'd.

"They'll be best friends!" Sango smiled.

"Yup." Rin returned and sighed.

"Better." Sesshomaru entered again carrying bags. Rin rushed to help him.

"Now let's hand these out." She handed Sango and Miroku a gift each, Shippo, Kohaku, Kagome, Inuaysha, and little Akio. Kirara was handed a yarn ball which she took and attacked.

Inuyasha opened his gift to see a red t-shirt that read: I'm up, out of bed, and dressed. What more do you want? Kagome laughed.

"Let me guess, your idea?" She asked Sesshomaru.

"Yup got to love it." Inuaysha smiled.

"Thanks man." Kagome opened hers. It was a silver bracelet that had her name engraved on it. On the back it had: Love Rin.

Kagome started to tear before she hugged her best friend. Sango smiled. She opened hers and had the same thing. She started to tear to and hugged her two best friends. Kagome smiled. "Now Rin you need one from us." Rin held up her hand.

"Inuyasha already did." Kagome smiled and hugged her husband.

"Thank you." They both said to Rin. She blushed.

"Aww you're welcome!" Miroku opened his and found a 'Hentai Free' poster with his name on the back. He stared at Sesshomaru and Rin.

"Yeah we BOTH thought that was a hoot." Rin said laughing hard. Miroku sighed.

"Sango..." She hugged him.

"Yeah my idea." He pulled her into a hug.

"You're mean." He whispered.

"I know you love me." Kohaku and Shippo both received a game for the play station which they hugged Rin and Shessy before rushing to Shippo's room. Yeah they were at Kagome's and Inuaysha's. Sango, Miroku, and Kirara left later on after eating dinner Kagome had cooked. Kohaku spent the night with Shippo, Rin and Sesshomaru left with their proud new baby. Kagome placed Akio in her crib and settled into bed. Inuaysha already asleep. Kagome rested her head on his bare chest and smiled.

"Love you Inuaysha. Forever and always." Inuaysha shifted bringing his arm to her waist and pulling her close.

"I love you too my angel." Sleep took them over. It was going to be a long time before Sango had her baby, but that was the best.

A/N: I will skip a few months so it's days before Sango's baby's birth. I will have a shopping day and then a little twist for Sango and Miroku. You all will probably kill me and Most part throw objects at me. Let's just say someone dies and it's not gonna be pretty... I hope you all will not kill me. I am terribly sorry, but I have no more ideas. So stay tuned and please don't kill me.
