IMPORTANT: I have not been able to update in so long and not because I'm lazy or anything. It's just because I moved and I haven't had my computer set up in 2 and half months. I will try and update as much as I possibly can from now on.

Check out the site in my profile! It's going to have everything an Inuyasha and Kagome fan could ever want!

Chapter 12: To choose

Miroku and Sango had spent the night in a separate hut so they could do the do, they didn't know whether or not Inuyasha had returned yet, but as they did there thing they didn't care.

They woke up at sunrise and both dressed quickly, so Shippo didn't see them 'Bathing' together. They made it over to Kaede's in a few moments. She had some stew cooking and Shippo and Kirara were already up digging in. Sango and Miroku grabbed a bowl and sat down. Sango looked around.

"Hey, Kaede, where are Inuyasha and Kagome?" Sango asked. She hadn't woken once in a month with Inuyasha and Kagome being there.

"I haven't seen them. Last time I saw Kagome was yesterday morning when she ran out of the hut. She was sick I believe, Inuyasha followed. I imagine they went to Kagome's time for medicine." Kaede stated.

"I miss Kagome already." Shippo pouted. He loved waking up with her there. He had gotten used to it and now he missed it.

"Meow!" Kirara agreed with Shippo.

"Don't worry I'm sure when Kagome feels better they'll be back." Sango assured.

Meanwhile

"KAGOME HIGURASHI!" Inuyasha and Kagome jumped out of bed and looked around. Kagome's mothers was standing in the door way with her hands on her waist, giving Kagome and enraged glare. Kagome blushed. "Just what do you think you were doing!"

"It's not," 'is' "what it looks like!" Kagome defended. "My and Inuyasha were talking and we... fell asleep like that." 'Yeah, like right." Kagome thought. Inuyasha looked at her and then back a Mrs. H.

"Oh..." Kagome's mother's anger settled and she smiled. "Well next time you better watch it. Anyway breakfast is done, it's eggs, sausage, and toast... Inuyasha would you care to join?"

"Ah... yeah." Inuyasha said. He hadn't ever had eggs, or sausage, or TOAST! He was confused, but decided to stay beside Kagome.

"Okay, oh and Kagome make sure you change. Inuyasha come on now and let Kagome change."

"No, mom. He's fine." Her mom gave her an incredulous look and Kagome held up her hands in defense. "I'm not getting changed in here, because I'm talking a shower. So Inuyasha can wait here until I get out. It's fine."

"Oh, alright then." With that Mrs. H exited the room and headed downstairs.

"Good one." Inuyasha said sarcastically. Kagome kissed him on the cheek.

"Wasn't it?" She said smiling. She only grabbed a towel, but didn't she need clothes if she was going to get changed in the bathroom? Inuyasha cast her a questioning glance as she headed into the shower. He held back the urge to follow her.

15 minutes later

Kagome had just exited the shower. She wrapped a towel around herself and headed into her room, but made sure the hall ways were clear before she did. She entered her room and shut and locked the door behind her. Inuyasha was sitting on the bed. He was looking out the window, but was now looking at Kagome, who was wearing nothing, but a towel. She walked to her draws and pulled out her clothing for the day. She pulled out a tight, sky blue short sleeve short, a tight, not flexible, like tan skirt and of course her under clothes.

Kagome dropped her towel and Inuyasha's eyes went wide.

"Kagome aren't.. you.. supposed to be changing in the.. bathroom?" Inuyasha stuttered. Kagome noticed the way he was staring and blushed. She finished putting on her clothes and looked at him with a smile.

"It's not like you haven't seen it all, already." Kagome stated. "Come on we have to go down stairs, our food probably already needs to be heated up." Kagome picked up a brush and began to run it through her hair.

When Kagome finished brushing her hair they headed downstairs. Inuyasha followed behind keeping his arms crossed. When they entered the kitchen Kagome was surprised everyone was still eating, she expected they would finish in the fifteen minutes. She didn't care though she just walked farther into the kitchen and gave Inuyasha his plate, which already set and then grabbed her own. She suddenly had the smell flood into her nose. She dropped the plate and everyone looked over at her. It dropped onto her foot and she yelped and then held her mouth and ran into the bathroom. Everyone followed her to see what had caused her to drop the plate and then run.

Inuyasha could already smell her blood. It must have been when the plate broke on her foot. Inuyasha was the first there and saw Kagome lean over the toilet bowl he walked over and held her hair out of her face, while the others watched shocked. They all wondered what had caused her sudden sickness, well everyone except Kagome and Inuyasha who already knew.

When Kagome finished gagging she used a paper towel to wipe her face down and then brushed her teeth and washed her face. The whole time everyone watched her. When she finished she realized the little pain on her foot and cleaned the blushed and used a patch to cover it. It was a few slashed almost deep enough to need stitches. They felt a little swollen, but were nothing Kagome couldn't handle. 'Well when I'm farther into this pregnancy they're going to be even more swollen and not from cuts either.' Kagome thought with a grin. She didn't really mind the morning sickness, it was only there when she smelt food, she was lucky it wasn't automatically there in the mornings, like for some people.

When Kagome was ready to exit the bathroom she noticed the three faces staring at her.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Kagome are you sick dear?" Kagome's mother asked.

"Oh, well actually... I'm just not hungry." Kagome said. "You guys go and eat. I'll be fine. I'll just go to the store and get some coke for my stomach ache, alright?" (A/N: For those of you who don't know flat coca cola helps cure stomach sickness, it's almost the same as coke syrup.)

"Uh, uh!" Inuyasha disagreed.

"What do you mean 'uh, uh'?" I can go to the store." Kagome argued. Inuyasha's eyes had a look like 'follow me.' Kagome followed him into her room. The others stayed behind, wondering what was going on. The closed the door.

"Your not going to that dam store again! Not after yesterday! Do you remember that guy, huh? Or did you forget!" Inuyasha stated.

"Like I would forget! You really think he'd still go after me after that pounding and him finding out you were a demon!"

"Humans gather in packs to defeat one person of that's what it takes." Kagome realized Inuyasha was right. That guy was big, meaning he probably had big friends and was in some kind of gang or something. He could jump her, but Inuyasha could handle them all, except for maybe the guns, if they got a hit on him.

"But Inuyasha..."

"Your not going and endangering the pup."

"You have a puppy?" Sota yelled in excitement. Kagome and Inuyasha turned to the door and realized that Sota, gramps, and Mrs. H were all listening at it, and when Inuyasha said 'pup' Sota opened the door to ask about it. Kagome blushed and thought up and excuse, she had none.

"A puppy Kagome, you know that they take a lot of responsibility. You couldn't just bring them back and forth." Mrs. H stated. Kagome's mother was talking about the actually dog, puppy, not the baby kind.

"Ah.. yeah. I don't have one though... we were going to get one, but since you put it that way, we won't." Kagome lied.

"Oh, alright. So what happened at the store yesterday... with that guy?" Mrs. H asked. Referring to the man who tried to rape Kagome. (A/N: I would never actually have Kagome get raped in any of my stories, that's so cruel!)

"Um, oh it's nothing to worry about... me and Inuyasha are going to go back to the feudal era now, so.." Kagome began, but couldn't finish.

"The hell we are with that monk and slayer smelling like pure dirty sex all the time!" Inuyasha yelled. Once again he loved the smell of sex when Kagome and him did it, but couldn't stand smelling it on Miroku and Sango. It smelt different on them, dah. (A/N: I hope the word 'sex' isn't to strong to use.) Kagome blushed and Kagome's family looked at her in shock.

"You mean your hanging out with people who are having sex here and there?" gramps yelled angrily.

"Well.." Kagome had no time to finish.

"I FORBID you to go back to that era if that is the case. You don't need any bad influences like that." Mrs. H stated. Kagome looked in shock this time.

"You can't FORBID me from going back there!"

"I see your already talking back to me." Mrs. H bit out.

"I'll go if I want." Kagome replied.

"No, you won't Kagome." Kagome's mother stated while stepping up to Kagome preparing to pull her away from Inuyasha. She grabbed Kagome's wrist. Inuyasha growled fiercely at her warning her to let go. The look in Inuyasha's eyes was enough to scare her back. She stepped back and looked at the angry hanyou.

"Don't you dare touch Kagome." he growled out. (A/N: I told you he would get more protective.. err possessive.)

"Excuse me? I'm her mother! You have no right to tell me if I can or can't touch."

"No one touches my Kagome, but me!" Inuyasha growled. Inuyasha didn't mean that Kagome was his possession, that's just how mates referred to each other, just like Inuyasha was Kagome's Inuyasha.

"What do you mean 'your Kagome'?" asked gramps. He happened to know more about demons then Mrs. H, or Sota, and knew what that usually meant. "You can't call her that unless she was your.. mate." Kagome didn't want them to find out like this, but that's how it was playing out. She blushed and turned away, tears welling in her eyes as Inuyasha growled more.

"Stop that." She whispered so only could Inuyasha's could here, he listened and smelt the saltiness of her tears. "Mother if you wish to abandon me from the feudal era then I must tell you this... If that is what you truly want from me, you won't get it, and I will stay in the feudal era forever. I will never leave Inuyasha or my friends there." Kagome looked down even though she wasn't facing them and let the tears willingly fall from her eyes.

"Kagome would you really chose them over your own family?" Mrs. H asked sadly. Kagome turned to face her and the others. She smiled at her mother for some reason.

"They are my family." Kagome said.

"Please don't go!" cried Sota as he clung to his sister. Inuyasha was prepared to growl, but Kagome glared at him to not dare.

"I'm sorry Sota, but if I must choose between worlds, between loves, I choose Inuyasha... always."

"NO! You don't have to choose. Mom is just overreacting!" Sota continued to tears. Kagome leaned down and hugged him and whispered "Sorry." Into his ears.

"Kagome, but what could posses you to choose that world?" Kagome's mother asked. Kagome stood up prepared to tell all she needed to.

"Mother, I love Inuyasha. He is my mate." Kagome's grandfather hissed knowing exactly what that meant.

"Mate?" Kagome's mother wasn't so familiar with it.

"It means that the half dog has taken away her purity." Gramps hissed. He never meant to sound so cruel, but was all about honor and hated knowing that his granddaughter had already last her virginity, unmarried. Kagome's mother gasped.

"Kagome is this true?"

"Yes, mother... and I'm also pr... pre... pr.." Kagome couldn't bring herself to say it. Tears welled from her eyes, she hated them being ashamed of her, when all she had ever done is loved them.

"Kagome... are you trying to say your pregnant?" Mrs. H asked. Kagome looked down, confirming the answer. "I see."

"Please don't hate me." Kagome said. Kagome's mother stepped closer to her and placed her hands firmly on Kagome's shoulders looking into her daughters eyes. Inuyasha held back a growl... for now.

"Hate you? I could never hate you!" Mrs. H pulled Kagome into an embrace and allowed Kagome to cry onto her shoulder. "Your my daughter, I love you dear."

"Does this mean you won't stay in the feudal era forever?" Sota asked. Kagome looked at him smiling and released from the embrace.

"I guess it does."

Well tell me what you think, if you have any questions please ask me!
