…

Inuyasha sighed.

"Can't wait to go home now, can you?", said Sesshomaru as he drank his champagne.

"I don't think I have to stay here much longer, I already talk with His Majesty and Her Grace, we ate a banquet with them and I gave Her Highness the pleasure of dancing with me", said Inuyasha who let out another exasperating sigh. They are in the Kingdom of Austuria, they were invited to their grand ball. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had been in the castle for almost 3 hours now and Inuyasha was itching to go back home.

"You just want to go back to your pregnant wife", said Sesshomaru with a smirk.

"Keh! Of course I do! I don't need to stay here any longer", he said irritatingly. Kagome was now 6 months pregnant and the past months on carrying their child, Inuyasha was always pampering Kagome even more, sometimes he would even neglect his duties and Kagome would always scold him for that and the reason why he was here right now instead of back in their bed was because Kagome encouraged him to, saying that it would boost up his reputation as King if he socialized with other aristocrats, it would be shameful to reject an invitation.

But Inuyasha was bored, in fact this was the first time he went to a social event without his wife. Inuyasha was relieved that Sesshomaru came with him tonight.

"Just be lucky that Kagome didn't come here tonight", said Sesshomaru and Inuyasha couldn't agree more. When it comes to Kagome's stubbornness she was stubborn as a while stallion. When they received the invitation to come here, Kagome was ready and willing to go but Inuyasha wouldn't allow it, he didn't want to risk the baby's life and hers. It took almost an hour to persuade her on not going. Not only was she stubborn, she was a busy-body, even when she's pregnant she still does work, work and more work. Inuyasha had told her a million times to take a rest or not to overwork herself, Sesshomaru even offered that he'll take care of her paperwork until she give birth to their child but his wife wouldn't allow it. She loves to work.

But even though she's like that, Inuyasha still loves her and even more each day. Sometimes when he's bored from his work, he would think of his wife. Her smile, her scent, the mark she has on her neck and their passionate days and nights. It almost tore him when he can't make love to her for 9 aching months! He would always remind himself that everything would be worth it, that they will have a baby 4 months later.

"Hey Inuyasha", Sesshomaru called out, snapping Inuyasha out of his thoughts and turned to his brother.

"What?"

"Kikyo is here", Sesshomaru replied then pointed to the direction of the said woman. Inuyasha followed his gaze and what Sesshomaru said was true. Kikyo was indeed here. Strange, he didn't see her before, she must have been late.

Late and heading his way.

"Hello Sesshomaru", Kikyo greeted and Sesshomaru nodded in acknowledgement of her presence then she turned to Inuyasha.

"Hello Inuyasha, it's been awhile", she said. Inuyasha cleared out his throat.

"Yes, it's been a long while", he said. The three stayed silent for a few minutes, not daring to say anything.

"Inuyasha, may I speak with you in private?" ,she asked and Inuyasha was a bit surprise yet curious at the same time. Inuyasha turned to Sesshomaru. "I'll be back", he said then the two left. Sesshomaru watched them go, observing them keenly.

Inuyasha and Kikyo left the buzzing sound of the ballroom and arrived in the garden and went inside the gazebo. As they walked there, Inuyasha's mind was full of questions. Why was she here? What does she want from him? Does she want to get back with him? God he hopes not!

Inuyasha distracted himself from Kikyo by looking up the stars, wondering if Kagome was looking at the stars too. Sometimes late at night, the two of them would go to the rooftop, looking at the stars, in result his wife fell asleep on him and he would carry her back to their bedroom and he would watch her peaceful slumber all night long.

"Inuyasha……."

Inuyasha snapped out from his reverie then turned to Kikyo who was looking a bit nervous right now.

"By….any chance….have you ever loved me?", she asked quietly, Inuyasha kinda expected that she would ask him that.

Inuyasha sighed. "I thought I was in love with you but I realize that it was only infatuation, my feelings for you are just in a friendly basis"

Kikyo looked at him expectantly. "Nothing else?"

"Nothing else", he answered firmly.

Then came the awkward silence again and Kikyo couldn't take it anymore. "After my loss with Kagome and you rejecting me twice that time", Inuyasha cringed, "I reflected on what happened that day and I realized that I should get over you for I'm certain that you wouldn't return my love, you're heart will always be for Kagome…..but I just wanted to say…..for the last time….I love you Inuyasha"

Kikyo was surprise to see a warm smile on Inuyasha's face. She had never seen that smile before, not even when they were still young kids. She now realized how much Inuyasha had changed and it's all thanks to Kagome, she couldn't compete with her. She completely lost Inuyasha to her.

Inuyasha spread out his arms and gave her a warm embrace. She was completely shock then hugged him back, tight and trying to control the tears that were threatening to spill.

"Thank you…..thank you for loving me…", he said then he pulled back, still smiling. "We're still friends, right?", he asked and Kikyo laughed.

"Inuyasha, expect me to be the first one to give a gift for you and Kagome's baby", she said with more enthusiasm and Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief.

Kikyo released the hug and wiped her tears. "Anyway, I better be going now, I'm still young, I think there are handsome bachelors waiting for me", she teased with a wink and Inuyasha chuckled. Kikyo turned around and paused at the doorway of the gazebo, turning her head around.

"Oh and tell your wife, Thank you", she said

Inuyasha looked confuse. "Huh? What?"

But Kikyo was already inside in the ballroom, mingling happily with other people.

"What did she mean by that?", Inuyasha wondered out loud.

"Mean by what?"

Inuyasha turned around and saw Sesshomaru with a curious look on his face. Inuyasha shook his head. "Nevermind, let's go back home", he said

Kagome squealed happily when she found her favorite jam, called the Milky Way, a chocolate jam and every month the Queen of Scotland will send a case of her chocolate jam since she and the Queen of Scotland, Elizabeth, were very good friends. They got to know each other when Elizabeth invited them in their banquet and at dessert Kagome tasted the Milky Way and she fell in love with it and Elizabeth found it adorable and splendid that the younger queen oved their country's sweet delicacy and so she promised Kagome that she will send a case of it every month.

Kagome opened the jar and started placing a spoonful on her bread, she should be asleep by now but she started to have her cravings again and one thing she had in common with her baby was that they both love Milky Way. She giggled at the thought.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to do things on your own?"

Kagome gasped then turned around and saw Inuyasha with his arms crossed and leaning on the doorway.

"Oh, Inuyasha…..you're back!", she exclaimed then gave him a hug. Inuyasha hugged her gently, avoiding on crushing the bump on her stomach. Inuyasha leaned down and gave her a sweet kiss then broke it off before if could lead to something else. Even though his wife was pregnant, he couldn't stop his lust for her and his loins aching to touch her again.

Inuyasha saw the chocolate jam on the table and he chuckled. "Milky Way again?", he asked and she pouted.

"The baby woke me up and was hungry", said Kagome, rubbing her round belly. Inuyasha raised a brow. "And so you will feed the baby with Milky Way?", he asked

"Hey the baby likes it anyway", she countered, crossing her arms on her chest. Inuyasha smiled and shook his head then headed for the table and finished making her chocolate sandwich.

"Here", he said, handing the bread to her and she was about to take it from him but then he pulled it away and she whined.

"Nuh uh uh…….I want a kiss first", he said with a grin. Kagome pouted.

"Mou……."

"Mate", he said as he gave her a playful glare.

"Oh fine, come here", she said as she wrapped her arms on Inuyasha's neck and he bent down and they kissed passionately, their tongues battling until they were breathless and broke away. Inuyasha licked his lips and had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Can I have my Milky Way now?", she asked and Inuyasha chuckled then handed to her the chocolate sandwich she craved for. She took a bite, tasting the rich chocolate in her mouth. Inuyasha smiled on his wife's adorable face, such a simple person finding the little things the best in her life like her Milky Way. Kagome gasped when Inuyasha scooped her in his arms with ease, as if the added weight of her stomach didn't seem to bother him at all.

"Let's go back to bed, shall we?", he asked then he bent down to lick the chocolate on the corner of her mouth. Kagome giggled.

"Take me away my strong husband", she said and Inuyasha let out a boyish grin that she felt she was almost melting from that smile. Inuyasha carried her up the stairs until they reached their bedroom and he laid her gently on the bed, the Milky Way gone in her mouth. Inuyasha lied down beside her and started licking away the chocolate around her mouth. Kagome started giggling.

"I could have wiped it away myself, you know", she said then Inuyasha plopped his head on the pillow while rubbing her belly.

"But that was more fun", he said huskily

"So how was the ball?", she asked then Inuyasha started explaining to her on the events that happened there. Inuyasha was positive that the Kingdom of Austuria will allow them to export goods in their kingdom, that way their economy will be improving more. That past months, Inuyasha and Kagome were busy focusing on the kingdom's economy and the education for young children and everything went flawless. The people were happy and so were the elders and Izayoi.

"I met Kikyo at the ball tonight", said Inuyasha, observing Kagome's reaction and he was surprise to see no malice or jealousy in her eyes. All she did was smile.

"Oh you did? So what happened?", she asked too eagerly to his liking but he answered her anyway. Telling Kagome that she and him made amends and were good friends again.

"She even said she will be the first one to give a present for the baby", said Inuyasha and Kagome giggled. "Really? That's good to hear. I'm glad that you two are good friends again", she said

Inuyasha looked at her oddly. Something was really strange around here. "Kikyo told me to tell you that she said Thank You", he said and Kagome tried to control herself from laughing. Inuyasha frowned.

"Mate, what's going on?", he asked, leaning himself closer to her. An arm wrapping on her belly.

"Well to be honest, I told Kikyo to go there so that two of you could talk", she said and Inuyasha's eyes widened. He sat up, looking at his wife with disbelief.

"Why did you do that?", he asked, his face was still shock. Kagome sighed.

"I know that Kikyo has feelings for you and I felt that you feel guilty for hurting her and considering that you two were childhood friends, I don't want that friendship to be broken, not from anything…..not from me…"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha who was looking at her silently that she felt nervous all of a sudden, thinking that what she did was a mistake. "Inuyasha? Was I wrong?", she asked timidly. She wanted to touch him but she was afraid that he would push her away. She turned her head away, not looking at him. It was odd for her to encounter this reaction from him. Then a hand crept up to her face, turning her to face him and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that warm smile on Inuyasha's face.

"I can't believe I'm married to an angel….you're so caring and generous…..my darling wife", he said with such love that Kagome's heart was skipping and was trying to control herself, this affect might bother the baby or something.

"You're….not mad?", she asked hesitantly and Inuyasha was taken aback from her question.

"No Koishii….why would I be mad when what you did was wonderful?", he asked as he caressed her cheek and she leaned in to his touch.

"Well you were so quiet that I thought what I did was a mistake", she said and Inuyasha gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry Koishii….my thoughts were occupied on what a sweet thing you did for me, for saving the friendship I have with Kikyo, thank you very much", he said sweetly then he leaned down and kissed her.

Their kiss deepened, held as Kagome's mouth opened, inviting a more intimate caress, and Inuyasha happily complied. His tongue slipped inside, discovering once again all the sweetness she had to offer, all the sweetness that was his alone to enjoy for the rest of his days. He focused on her lips as if they were the first pair he had ever seen. He held her suspended with those intriguing golden eyes and Kagome melted inside.

"Kagome….my angel….I'll cut off your wings so you will never fly away from me", he said possessively and this time Kagome didn't complain for she would rather be caged in his arms than fly away without her love, her life.

4 months later….

"Push Kagome! Push!", Inuyasha encouraged her as he sat on the bed with his wife between his legs, Kagome holding tightly on his hand that his blood circulation might explode. Kagome had her legs open as the doctor waited for the baby to come out. Kagome let out another push and the doctor's eyes widened.

"Your Highness, I can see the head! Give us another strong push", said the doctor on the right side of the medical room was Izayoi and Kaoriri, clinging to each other as they watched Kagome giving birth to Inuyasha and her first baby. They don't know what's the gender of the baby because Kagome wanted it to be a surprise but she had a feeling that it will be boy.

"It hurts……ittai….", Kagome wailed, grasping her husband's hand so tight that Inuyasha cringed. Inuyasha kissed her sweaty temples. "It's going to be alright, Koishii….it's almost over, just keep on pushing", he encouraged and she nodded weakly giving one last final push and Kagome heard the baby crying. She let out a sigh of relief then relaxed on her husband.

The doctor's assistant wrapped the baby with a white cloth then handed the baby to Kagome. "Congratulations your Highness, it's a baby boy"

Kagome had a smile on her face as she placed her baby boy in her arms. Inuyasha looked shock when he saw puppy ears on his son's head. His son. That's sound so good to hear, like wedding bells.

"Our son….", said Inuyasha and Kagome nodded. Izayoi and Kaoriri stood beside the bed, looking at the baby adoringly. "We're finally grandmothers", said Izayoi, hugging Kaoriri tight who wiped away her tears.

"What should we call him, Koishii?", Inuyasha asked as he gently touched his son's soft baby cheek. The baby stirred and slightly opened his eyes and Kagome was happy to see that her baby had her brown eyes.

"Pev…..I want to call our son Pev", said Kagome, her eyes still on their baby. Inuyasha nodded in agreement. Kagome turned to Inuyasha with a skeptical look.

"What?", he asked

"Do you want to carry the baby?", she asked and Inuyasha was a bit shock, he didn't know how to hold a baby.

"But I don't know how….", he said sadly and Kagome gave him a smile of encouragement. "It will come to you, I'm sure that you won't drop our son", she said with confidence that Inuyasha's face lit up with hope and pride.

"Of course, I'll never let anything or anyone harm our baby boy", said Inuyasha proudly and the women in the room giggled and he smiled sheepishly. He let out a breath.

"I'll give it a try then", he said then lent out his arms to the baby as Kagome carefully placed the baby in his arms. Inuyasha was shock that he didn't have trouble carrying the baby properly at all, it was all natural to him. He looked lovingly at his son, he felt so obliged to protect this creature in his arms always. He felt he was the most blessed husband and father all over the world right now and nothing can replace this feeling. Kagome felt overwhelmed at the sight of her husband, holding their son protectively in his arms and saw the immense love in his golden eyes. The baby stirred then made a gurgling sound that Kagome and Inuyasha laughed a bit. Kagome wrapped an arm around Inuyasha while the other caressed their baby's small, soft head.

Inuyasha turned to his wife. "Thank you so much for giving me a family, Kagome"

Kagome gave him a genuine smile that Inuyasha could melt right now, she gave him a chaste kiss. "I love you, Inuyasha"

"I love you, Koishii….", he said back then turned his attention to their son.

"Welcome to our family, Pev", said Inuyasha then he kissed Pev's forehead.

Two weeks had passed, Kagome had recovered from her labor and the baby was strong and healthy as ever. Seems like everyday there's a visitor to see the baby. Sango and Rin squealed with glee when they saw Pev, they were so excited to hold the baby that Inuyasha was a bit hesitant to let them carry his son. Kouga, Shippou and Miroku also had the chance to carry the baby. Kouga felt like he was the proudest uncle on earth and Miroku was excited for Pev to grow up so he could share his knowledge with the boy, Inuyasha and Kagome warned him not to share anything perverting. Sesshomaru was happy for the couple to have a strong son and heir. Kagome and Izayoi tried making him carry Pev but he wouldn't. He was afraid that he might harm the baby and felt a bit awkward on carrying a baby. He wouldn't give it a try right now, maybe another time he would.

In the couple's room, Kagome rocked Pev to sleep then carefully placed him in the beautifully carved crib, the wood was the color of navy blue. A gift given by Kikyo and they were both grateful for her gift.

Kagome gasped when she felt a pair of arms around her waist but then she relaxed when recognized whose arms were those. Inuyasha held on her tight, burrowing his head on her raven hair.

"God I missed holding you so tight like this", he said, his breath tickling her neck that she giggled. "And I'm not letting you go for a very long while"

"But I have work to do", she said, willing and ready to go back to her duties. Kagome felt Inuyasha shook his head.

"I'm giving you a month to rest, the elders will understand. There's no need to rush Kagome. Everything is working fine plus I don't want you to overwork yourself. You just gave birth to our son, two weeks ago. I just want you to relax….", Kagome yelped when she was spun around, her head hitting against Inuyasha's hard chest and she could hear his heartbeat.

"………with ME", he finished and Kagome let out a small laugh. Then Inuyasha placed a hand under her chin and made her look up to him. "Let me pamper you for awhile, Mate", he said then he covered her lips with his. He kissed her with a fury that even surprised him, he had been missing her so much that even his kisses are going wild now.

"Fine…..I don't really mind anyway…..", she said against their lips and Inuyasha had a roguish grin on his face in victory. His lips slid across her cheek to her ear where he tasted its sweetness, flicking his tongue in and out with a deftness that left her gasping for breath. Her lips parted, her breath grew labored as Inuyasha's hands slid down to her hips, pulling her fiercely close, with a violence that made her cry out. He tasted the hot sweetness in her mouth, his kiss stirring something wild in both of them.

Impatiently he removed her corset then her long blue dress, letting them pooled down to her feet. Just when Kagome thought she'd expire from lack of breath, his mouth began a tantalizing foray on her ear, sliding to the base of her throat, his tongue sending sparks all over her heated body as he nipped and licked at the tiny pulse beating in her throat. She inhaled sharply when Inuyasha burned a path to her breasts, nibbling hungrily at the dusky pink tips puckering delightfully beneath his touch. Every nerve came alive as he licked a path down to her stomach, stopping briefly at her navel, then continuing downward.

She yelped when she was carried then plumped down to their bed. Her legs were nudged apart and she nearly exploded when the tip of his tongue probed and prodded. One exquisite thrill after another exhilarated her as he raised her hips to his commanding mouth. Her hands took hold of his white mass of a head, pulling him closer.

Knock Knock!

Inuyasha let out a loud growl of anger when he heard the knock of the door. He lifted himself up from Kagome who was panting breathlessly.

"Who is it?", he said hoarsely, trying to control his voice from barking at the person on the other side of the door.

"There's a visitor waiting in the throne room for both of you, your majesties", said the guard

"Alright, we'll get down in a minute", Inuyasha replied then he heard the guard's footsteps leaving the bedroom door. He let out a sigh then turned to his wife, he frowned when she started getting her clothes and placed them back on her. He growled, such rotten timing, he was enjoying his time with his wife. Who the hell could be visiting this time? After they dressed themselves, they went down to the throne room although Kagome was reluctant to leave Pev alone in the room but Inuyasha said that they will just take a minute to talk to the visitor or he could just kick the guy out so they two of them could be left alone. Kagome just chose the former.

As they arrived in the throne room, there was a stranger wearing a brown cloak and they couldn't see his face because it was covered by the hood. The stranger must have seen them because the visitor suddenly bowed at their presence. Kagome and Inuyasha took a seat on their throne then mentioned the stranger to stand up.

"Who might you be and why have you come?", asked Inuyasha a little bit harshly than he should have. The hooded stranger stood up, his face covered by the shadows of the hood.

Kagome had a strange feeling about this stranger, it's not really a threat, to her anyway but for Inuyasha's part was the contrary.

"Speak up", Inuyasha commanded

"I am the man who will take your precious queen away from you", said the stranger with a sinister voice

Kagome's eyes widened to the realization on who it was, she recognized that voice! Inuyasha took hold of Kagome's hand, he had a ferocious scowl on his face. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, he seems to be glowering. Kagome sighed, it seems that Inuyasha didn't recognize on who was this surprise visitor.

"You're the one to talk, you're in a disadvantage here", Inuyasha said arrogantly but he still has that scowl on his face. He heard the man chuckle, it made him even angrier but he sensed that Kagome was calm about this. He turned to her, does she know who this man was?

"I'm a man who always make a possibility, right Kagome-chan?", said the stranger. Kagome noticed that Inuyasha was looking at her skeptically. She cleared her throat.

"Please take off you're hood, sir", said Kagome, she had a feeling that the man was laughing inside. Underneath the shadows the man grinned then took off his hood, revealing long blue hair and mischievous red eyes, staring back at the king and queen. Kagome smiled, she knew it was him all along but for Inuyasha's case he was surprise yet still angry.

"YOU!", Inuyasha exclaimed, pointing accusingly at the visitor who was just grinning from ear to ear, evidently found this very amusing and hilarious, so did Kagome.

"Nice to meet you again as well, Inuyasha or should I say Your Highness", Ryo did a mocking bow. Kagome stifled a giggle while Inuyasha had a furious scowl on his face. Of all people who could have visited them today, it had to be Ryo Zeta, Kagome's former lover and Inuyasha's still rival even though he's married to Kagome already but he can't help but feel agitated when he's around, he just had a feeling that Ryo might abduct his wife. He never had a problem when it comes to Kagome's faith in him, they went on social gatherings more than they can count and there were men trying to flirt with his wife but she would always use her charm to excuse herself from them and go to him. But this was Kagome's former lover! He trust Kagome that's for sure but he didn't trust Ryo!

Inuyasha cleared his throat. "So…Ryo, what brings you here?"

Ryo snorted. "I just told you, I'm here to get MY Kagome back!"

Inuyasha just wanted to send him to the dungeon and have the pleasure of torturing him until his bones break. Ryo could see Inuyasha's face turning bloody red, he laughed. "Alright…alright! I'll tell you the truth. Take it easy man, I'm not here to steal your wife, if I wanted to I could have done it at your wedding, that would have been a dramatic scene, don't you think?", Ryo wiped a tear from his eye.

"Ain't no way you can get past me, you'll never get Kagome. I'm a better fighter than you are", Inuyasha said arrogantly. Ryo had a challenging smile on his face. "Oh? I have you know, I've been training a lot and knowing you, you're too busy to train since you're the king now and you couldn't get your hands off Kagome", Ryo said matter-of-factly with a hint of mirth in his voice.

"I'll say….", Kagome said under her breath but Inuyasha heard her and gave her a glare, she just ignored it and sighed.

"So why are you actually here, Ryo-k-", she paused when she saw that threatening look on Inuyasha's face. "I mean Ryo…..", she finished and she slumped deeper on her throne. This wasn't a good sign at all. Inuyasha was getting jealous and angrier by the minute, Kagome's not sure which was worse, Inuyasha taking out his anger on Ryo or on her. If it was her, he would rape her.

Ryo grinned. "Well actually I just stopped by to see your son", he said and tried not to laugh out loud when Ryo saw that surprise look on Inuyasha's face. Oh it was painful not to laugh at his expense but he knew that Kagome would be angry at him if he did, she already knew that Inuyasha was getting angrier thanks to him.

Kagome beam a pleasant smile. "Really? We would be happy to show you to him but may I ask, how did you know that we had a son?"

Ryo chuckled. "You guys had been the talk of the entire world recently, everywhere I go, aristocrats and villagers would talk about the new born baby and the surprising knowledge that you two got married. You guys are really popular lately ever since you two got married."

Inuyasha snapped out from his stupor and smirked with arrogance and crossed his arms. "I should have known……well I guess we should introduce you to our son then, you weren't the only one who came to visit our son", said Inuyasha

"So I've heard…", said Ryo then followed them upstairs to their room. Once they went inside to their room, Kagome walked to the crib and motioned for the two men to come. Ryo had a warm smile on his face once he saw the little toddler all covered on a blanket and sleeping peacefully. The boy had puppy ears and short white hair just like his father.

"What's his name?", Ryo whispered, not daring to wake up the baby.

"Pev Faolan Taishou", Inuyasha said proudly

Ryo looked at them curiously. "Faolan? As in wolf?", he asked and Inuyasha nodded. "It was Inuyasha's idea", said Kagome and Ryo nodded all-knowingly.

"He has his mother's eyes…", said Inuyasha and Kagome gave him a warm smile then squeezed Inuyasha's hand. Ryo admired them. Such a sweet family……I'm so happy for you Kagome…..

Ryo let out a mournful sigh. Truth was that he was still in love with Kagome, he tried to occupy himself with his responsibilities for the ship and his expeditions so he wouldn't think about the woman who still captivated his heart. It was helpful for awhile but he still thought about her. Sometimes he even wondered, what if he didn't leave her? Would they still be together? Would Kagome not see Inuyasha then? Would she still fall in love with Inuyasha even if they were together? These thoughts just pained him a lot and he always tried to turn the other away, wanting to forget about it. About him and Kagome together. He wasn't sure why he even came here, he just made an excuse that he'll visit their son but the truth was he wanted to see Kagome again, to see if she was really happy or if he still had a chance with her. He wanted to be selfish, he wanted to take her back but seeing that pure happiness gleaming in her adorable brown eyes he just couldn't do it, he didn't want to see her sad.

Ryo's lips curved a sad smile. This was worth it……I…should finally let go…but…I need to…talk to her first before I leave…

"Kagome….", he called out softly and Kagome turned to him. "Yes Ryo?"

"Could I talk to you for awhile…", he turned to Inuyasha then back to Kagome, "alone, if you don't mind?"

Kagome was a bit surprise but then she nodded to Ryo then turned to Inuyasha. "I'll be back, Inuyasha"

"But-"

"Inuyasha", she looked at him sternly and Inuyasha sighed. "Fine…fine…", said Inuyasha then gave a threatening look to Ryo. "No, funny business", he said venomously and Ryo grinned then nodded.

"Don't worry, she's in good hands", said Ryo

For the very…last time…….

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They walked casually around the garden, enjoying each other's company as they talked about old times. Kagome was purely enjoying their conversation while Ryo was struggling not to kiss her right here and then, it was pure torture but he won't do it, he didn't want to damage the wonderful relationship that Kagome and Inuyasha had, that he wished it was his.

Kagome saw his face changing, like he was struggling inside. "Is there something wrong, Ryo?"

She won't even call me Ryo-kun anymore…..

Ryo took a few steps forward from her, he clasped his hands behind his back while looking up at the cloudy sky. "You know….if the time comes that you and Inuyasha might not getting along………don't expect me to be there to carry the pieces for you", he said

"Of course, I didn't expect you to", she replied with a smirk then Ryo turned around, facing her with a slight irritation in him that he couldn't help expressing it.

"This is what you have chosen so you deal with it on your own, don't call for me, don't call anyone for help….because that's how marriage works…..", he said and Kagome nodded.

"I'll keep that in mind", she answered, she tried to look serious but found this more amusing than annoying, it's just like old times indeed.

"I didn't visit to see you", he said

"Of course, you didn't. You were here for the baby"

"I'm not here to take you back"

Kagome feigned surprise. "Whatever was I thinking that you would, I shan't do that mistake again"

Ryo took a step forward. "This may be the last time that we'll meet"

Her eyes softened. "Maybe…."

Another step. "The next time you'll hear of me will be my deathbed"

"Perhaps from saving a damsel in distress no doubt"

Another step and he was inches from her. "No"

Kagome raised a brow, she was mocking him. "No?"

"I'm the one who needs saving this time….", he said mournfully, Kagome nodded, acting like she understood but she was obviously mocking and Ryo damn well knows it.

"Could I be of service to this rogue in distress?", she asked with humor but then she saw that he was serious, dead serious.

"Perhaps, my first and last kiss from this goddess", he answered, she gave him a look of sympathy. She knew, she knew it all along but she wished she was wrong.

What she did broke his heart, she shook her head. "I'm sorry, Ryo"

Ryo had a sad smile on his face then he sighed and tried to break the awkward moment. "It was worth a try"

"Is it Ryo? Is it really worth it, after all these years?"

Ryo grinned. "Do I have to answer that?", Kagome shook her head. "No….I suppose not"

She gasped when Ryo suddenly hugged her, holding her tight, embracing so hard that she chocked for some air but he didn't let go, not yet, time was running out and he would have to leave soon. Another of his adventures or should she say misadventures. She giggled against his hug then she embraced him back and he relaxed. He was loved, he was loved by this woman before and she still does except the love he's accepting now was nothing but friendship and he will cherish this friendship and who knows, maybe he would fall in love with another but he would rather fall out of love first before letting another woman come in to his heart again.

"Ahem"

Ryo and Kagome broke off the embrace then turned around and saw Inuyasha with a scowl on his face while cradling Pev in his arms who was evidently wide awake and Ryo was surprised to see the similar brown eyes of Kagome from the baby boy. Ryo walked up to Inuyasha and Pev. Inuyasha raised a brow when Ryo approached them.

"May I?", Ryo asked, Kagome and Inuyasha was slightly surprised. Inuyasha looked behind Ryo to seek approval from his wife. Kagome nodded.

Inuyasha looked at him curiously. "Do you know how to carry a baby?"

"Hey, I was from the Fujiwara clan, I had a lot of relatives including babies like your son", Ryo said matter-of-factly, smirking arrogantly. Inuyasha scoffed then slowly handed Pev into Ryo's arms. "Gently now….."

Once Pev was in Ryo's arms he stared into the baby's adorable brown eyes. Pev twisted a bit and gurgled while waving his small chubby arms, trying to reach Ryo's face so Ryo bent his head down and Pev gently touched his face. Kagome had a warm smile on her face from what she just saw in front of her then walked up to Inuyasha's side.

Ryo winced when Pev slightly pinched his nose. "Your son is a little rascal alright, just like his father", he teased and Inuyasha snorted. Then Ryo handed back the baby to Inuyasha's arms.

"Well I have to get going now", he said then Kagome hugged him which surprised both men but this time Inuyasha allowed it, truth was, Inuyasha understood from the beginning that Ryo wouldn't take Kagome away from him and that Kagome wanted nothing more than to be friends with him but he sometimes didn't want them to be so 'friendly' to one another.

"I'm going to miss you", she muffled and he laughed. "I think I should have been the first one to say that"

Like I was the first one who declared my love to you……..

Ryo released the hug then walked towards the exit, he turned his head around. "Another time then…" or not

"Bye!", he exclaimed as he waved then ran off, away from the InuTaishou Kingdom, out of Inuyasha's deathly glare and devastatingly yet with relief……out of Kagome's reach or was it out of Ryo's reach to Kagome….

Inuyasha turned to his wife and was surprise to see tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Kagome?"

Kagome touched her cheeks and saw tears like it was the first time she just noticed, she wiped them quickly. "S-sorry about-", but she was stopped when Inuyasha leaned down to her face and kissed her dried tears. Kagome sighed.

"You must find me pretty pathetic right now….", she mumbled and Inuyasha chuckled

"I've gotta admit, it's been a long while since I saw you crying, if my memory holds me correct….I think the last time you cried was when Elizabeth forgot to send the monthly stock of Milky Way, you were begging me to talk to her about it"

Kagome pouted. "Mou…….Pev was hungry!", she whined and Inuyasha laughed some more then Pev started gurgling again, shifting around Inuyasha's arms.

"Here, hand me the baby", said Kagome and Inuyasha did what he was told then he wrapped Kagome's waist from behind and rested his head on her shoulder while Kagome was cooing their son.

"I really admire his eyes…..", said Inuyasha as he watched Pev's chocolate-amber eyes, sparkling with blissful youth. Kagome turned her head to her husband, looking at him skeptically.

"Oh and why is that?", she asked then Inuyasha turned his head to hers, their lips almost touching that Kagome felt her knees weakening but stayed strong for she didn't want to drop Pev.

"Because his eyes reminds me of you….Kagome", he said it with such admiration, a raw emotion baring in his eyes, showing his true soul to his wife, only to his wife.

Kagome's heart began to throb that she had grown accustomed to, he always had this effect on her. "Inuyasha….."

Inuyasha closed the gap between their lips, sealing her lips with his. Giving her a long sweet and tender kiss. So gratifying and pleasant. Beyond satisfaction or paradise.

Inuyasha nuzzled on her neck, taking in her sweet scent.

"My Koishii…..", he purred as he licked his mark on her then he stared down on their son who was watching them with cute big brown eyes.

"Our son", he said as he lightly touched Pev's chubby cheeks.

"Our small family", said Kagome

Inuyasha stared back at her with a wicked look. "Small family? I think not dear wife, definitely not a small family indeed"

His words were a promise that he would gladly keep and will be fulfilled soon enough. He was up for it and sure as hell that his wife was, if not then he could just rape her. He laughed at the thought then he noticed Kagome and Pev staring blankly at him then he laughed some more.

I didn't want this story to be such a dramatic Soap Opera, I want this story to make some realistic sense.

So I didn't turn Kikyo into a bitch who would still Inuyasha away from Kagome. I want her to be respectable, after all they were childhood friends and I want her to value their friendship plus Inuyasha and Kagome are already married and was expecting a child.

For Ryo's case, well I just wanna spark some jealousy in Inuyasha and a sense of lost love in Ryo's part. Also how loyal is Kagome to Inuyasha. She wouldn't even kiss Ryo.

Umm..umm...what else should I say, oh yeah! I hope you guys like the name for the baby: Pev Faolan Taishou

Inuyasha is gonna rape Kagome,bwahahahahahahahaha!
