Chapter 6 (They're no more Original chapters. The revised version is just alot longer then the original, Sorry!)
The place was gorgeous! Big bay windows that looked out over all of Tokyo, and gave a breathtaking view of Mt Fuji. Several doors leading off the living room, all made of beautiful cherry wood. Not to mention the entire ceiling was adorned with art of Sengoku Judi. The very room gave off an air of elegance, and class. Kagome could barely believe this was Inuyasha's home!
"How long have you lived here? It must cost you a fortune!" She exclaimed, as Inuyasha walked in, and sat Inuyuki on the recliner in the room. The furniture all looked comfy enough.
"Here? We just moved in three days ago. And Sesshoumaru owns this building! I'm not paying a thing for it! He only rents this floor out to his personal guests. He doesn't trust people enough with this art work. It's too valuable to risk like that. At least that's what he says."
Kagome walked around the room, pausing for a moment at the window to look out at the spectacular view.
"You want something to drink?"
Kagome was brought back to earth by the question. "Sure, water would be great."
He left the room, and Kagome walked over to Inuyuki, to see she was sleeping peacefully. Inuyasha walked back in the room seconds later, carrying a glass of water, and a bottle of Sierra Nevada. An American brand of beer.
He handed her her glass, and popped the top off his beer, throwing the lid on the coffee table, and plopping down on the couch, propping his feet up. "Sorry," He said, taking a pull on his bottle. "I've had a long day you know."
Kagome nodded, sipping her water. "Yeah, me too."
He smiled at her, his eyes spilling his emotions. "I missed you Kags. You have no idea how much."
She felt like arguing that notion, but didn't have the heart. He'd waited for her for five hundred years. And, not only that, but when he finally gets to the present day, he has to chase off some other man! "I'm so sorry about Jake Inuyasha, he's a friend, and a great guy, but he just didn't get it that I wasn't interested."
He nodded. "It's okay. There were some women in the past who couldn't get that clue either. I had to be harsh in the end. I didn't..." He trailed off, and stared off into space for a second, before taking another pull on his beer.
She laid her hand on top of his, that was resting on his knee. "It's okay, I understand." She whispered.
He just stared at her for a minute. With helplessness, love, devotion, and everything in between shining in his eyes. He leaned forward, put his beer on the table, and captured her lips with his.
Her glass feel on the table with a clank beside his beer, as she greedily responded. Placing her hands on his neck, as to pull him closer to her. His hands started to wander, around her waist, then up her back, and in her hair. Finally, they grazed her mate mark, causing fire to pool in her stomach. She vaguely remembered one time where Jake had touched her mate mark, on accident she believed, and she had almost threw up. But suddenly Inuyasha's mouth found that same spot on her neck, and all thoughts that weren't strictly about him flew her mind.
That was the moment the door was thrown open, and two teenagers entered the room. "Inuyasha! we're... Oh god! Get a room will yea!" Shippou called out, from the doorway, where he had his arms around the shoulder of a young women. Human by the looks of it.
They instantly sprang apart, and Kagome blushed, while Inuyasha just scooted away from her on the couch.
"And Inuyasha! I can't believe you! What about Kago- wait! " He looked as Kagome closely, "Kagome?" The young kitsune asked, stepping farther into the room, and taking a suspicious sniff in Kagome's direction. "Kagome!" He exclaimed. Running forward, and giving her a hug. "I can't believe it's you!"
There was suddenly a loud wail. Inuyuki had woke up from all the screaming. Kagome instantly went over to the pup, and picked her up, cradling her in her arms.
"Who's...?" Shippou asked, bewildered.
"What's going on in... Kagome!" Sango and Miroku had run out of there apartment next door, having heard all the screaming. "Is that really you?" Sango said again.
Kagome smiled. How they were still alive, she didn't know. But she was sure happy that they were. "Hey guys, Give me a minute to get her back to sleep."
Everyone was silent for a few moments, just watching the young miko rock her daughter back to sleep, then gently put her back in her car seat. "Inuyasha." She whispered. "Can I put her in your room? So we don't disturb her again."
Inuyasha nodded. "I'll do it, you stay here." And he picked up the car seat, and left the room.
Kagome turned back to the rest of the room, who had all found seats. "I guess you all have questions... And I know what you're gonna say..."
"You and Inuyasha mated?" Sango asked, bewildered looking. She looked very odd in a long sleeved black shirt, and jeans. Next to a Miroku in a black and deep purple suit.
Kagome's expression clouded over with confusion. "Okay, I didn't know you'd say that. He didn't tell you?"
Shippou snorted. "He didn't say anything about it. But I could smell it all over him the day he told us you were gone." He said, from his seat on the love seat, next to the American looking teenager.
Kagome smiled at her. "And you I don't know. You either." She said, pointing to a women with long, black and yellow hair, with a child sitting in her lap, with almost identical features. They had entered after Sango and Miroku.
The girl smiled. "I'm Kelly. Shippou will tell you all about it later, now's not a great time." She said simply.
And the women on the floor laughed. In what sounded almost a chirp. She was demon, Kagome could sense as much, but she couldn't see her true form. "You don't remember me?"
Kagome racked her brain, before finally sighing. "I'm so sorry, I really don't."
The young girl in her lap said, in an adorable little voice. "Mommy's name is Kirara."
Kagome's eyes widened, as her mate came back in the room. He's ears flattened to his head at the glare he received form Sango. "Kirara? As in the cat youkai? Oh! It's so good to see you!" She exclaimed, jumping out of her seat, and giving her a hug.
"And this is Heather, my little angel." She said.
"Nice to meet you" Heather said, still using her cute little kid lisp.
"Nice to know we've been kept in the dark all these years Inuyasha, when supposedly everyone else knew you and Kagome-sama were mated." Miroku spoke up for the first time.
Inuyasha blushed very lightly. "It was none of your damn business monk." He muttered.
Sango seethed in rage. "We would have liked to know!" She yelled.
"Sango, please be quite! Inuyuki is sleeping!" Kagome requested.
The ex-slayer smiled. "Inuyuki? Snow dog? Beautiful." She said, much softer. "I'm so happy for you Kagome. And this dog too, I guess."
Inuyasha scowled at her. Miroku shook his arm, to catch a glance at his watch. "Oh shoot, I have to go to work. Kagome, it was great seeing you again, I'll probably see you later tonight, but if not, another time. Sango, my dear, tonight is the night remember?"
The slayer smiled. "I remember."
"Not in front of the kids you perverted monk. Just go already."
With those finale words form Inuyasha, he gave his wife a kiss goodbye, and then left the room.
"What were you two talking about?" Kagome asked.
"I'll tell you later." Sango whispered.
"Oh come off it! You don't think these supposed children are still innocent do you? You know better then I that..."
"Inuyasha! Shut up!" Shippou said quickly.
The hanyou closed his mouth. "Fine, I'll let you tell her."
Sango grinned. "Come over to my apartment later Kagome, I'll tell you then. But for now, I think Shippou has something to tell you." Sango said, then suddenly "Dog boy! Go play with your new kid." She then stood up, and left the apartment too.
"Okay brat! Come on! I'm feeding you, the least you can do is come help me take care of this kid, you just might need the-" Inuyasha started, before Kelly cut him off, with a well placed hand over his mouth.
They left the room. Leaving Kagome and Shippou alone. "Shippou, what is it?" She asked.
He was avoiding her eyes, suddenly finding the carpet extremely fascinating. "Shippou, you can tell me anything. I'm not gonna bite your head off. I could tell that she was your girlfriend, is there more to it then that?" she said softly.
Shippou looked up, blushing. "She's the reason we were kinda late getting here. She's my mate."
Kagome's eyes widened. "You're a little young aren't you?"
He looked at her, a slight flare of anger in his eyes. "I'm not to young! Everyone tells me that these days. She's kind of young, only 18, but me? I'm 550 years old! I'm older then Inuyasha was during our adventures. And Kelly is amazing, I love her more then anything, it was killing me that we had to leave her behind."
Kagome was confused. "Why didn't you?"
He looked up at her. "She's kind of... pregnant."
Kagome leaned back in her seat, covering her eyes with her hands. Her little Shippou was all grown up, mating and knocking people up. She sighed. "Okay. " She said, looking at him again. "That's alright. As long as you love her. And she loves you right?"
He laughed. "She didn't tell me about the baby until about a day before we were supposed to leave, because she didn't want to keep me there just because of that. She wanted me to stay for her, she felt like she'd be trapping me otherwise. But she ended up telling me anyways because she knew I'd be angry if she didn't. "
Kagome smiled. "Sounds like a nice girl."
"She is. Amazing really."
"She better be, cause I just left her and my very incompetent mate alone with my child." Kagome said. "What have you all been doing these few years?"
Shippou laughed. "Allot. Moving around allot, changing jobs, and schools, and everything. Inuyasha's been to college six times, and I've been to every grade at least three. Sango and Miroku have stayed the same exact age, because of the amulets. And..."
"What amulets?" Kagome cut in.
"Oh! They both wear amulets around there necks that stop them from aging. They wanted to see you again, and I'm guessing tonight they're going to take them off, and try to have there first child." He said.
Kagome frowned. "How did they get them?"
"Inuyasha got them a long time ago, after Kaede died. None of us know exactly where he got them, he never would say, but we do know it was one hell of a fight. He had a couple broken ribs when he returned. One of the more serious injuries he got over the years you've been gone."
Kagome snorted. "No way! Inuyasha gets worse then broken ribs all the time!" She exclaimed.
Shippou just shook his head. "Nope. He stopped getting into fights that were too dangerous. Sure, when he had to blow off some steam he'd go and take it out on someone, but he'd never get into a fight where there was even the slightest doubt that he'd win. I think he was doing it as insurance that he'd definitely see you again. Good thing too, he would have left Inuyuki fatherless too."
Kagome thought that over for a while. Did he really do that just for her?
The hanyou of her thoughts entered the room at that moment. Carrying their child. Who was wailing like there was no tomorrow. "Kagome! We tried everything!"
She just smiled, and took the baby in her arms. The infant instantly settled down, and after a few moments, fell back asleep.
"How do you do that?" Kelly asked, having followed Inuyasha into the room.
Kagome smiled at the mother to be. "She just knows who her mommy is. She knows who her daddy is too, she's just in a strange place, and couldn't see me, and got scared is all, or worried I guess you could call it. This baby is really protective of me. If she can't see me, she'll howl and howl till I come back." She explained softly. "She's allot like her dad."
Inuyasha scowled at her. "Why don't you go talk to Sango for a while? Take the noise maker with you." He said, but smiled at his daughter lovingly just the same.
She nodded, and got up, leaving through the front door.
Inuyasha turned to Shippou. "We've got a problem."
At the end of this revised version, I will launch a new story, (No tittle picked as of yet) that will be an alternative Seqeul to this story. Together Forever is the sequel that comes off the original. While the new one, will come off the revised version. Does that make sense? Hope so!Anyways, see yea! - Fu Fu
