Chapter 30 – Marriage

Sighing, he tucked a strand of hair behind Kagome's ear, before caressing her cheek gently. She hadn't woken for almost a complete day, but according to Jinengi she probably just needed some rest. Still, looking over at the two children sleeping in the chairs they occupied, he hoped she woke soon. The children had school, and, though he didn't want to leave her side, he had work. True, the company could probably survive without him for a few weeks, but… he'd probably go just so he didn't have to sit there watching Kagome sleep, wondering if she was ever going to wake up again. He'd go just so he could stuff his face in work, and not wonder if she was forever going to lie in that hospital bed because of another idiot man.

Yes, he'd admit it, his sex were complete and total idiots. Well, there were a few exceptions, but most of them were just so idiotic that they'd try to do anything to get at a woman who didn't want them. Women were smarter, which was strange, since men were said to be the dominant sex. Probably because men used force to make women submit to them. Women were smarter when it came to the mind. It was proved simply when the man refused to ask for directions, telling the woman he knew where he was going, when he knew only how to get lost faster then he already was. He didn't put that lightly, either, since after seeing what that moron Hojo did to Kagome, only dug their sex deeper into the hole in his mind.

Resting his head on the bed, he placed his hand on Kagome's thigh, and gently moved his hand over the blankets that covered her from the cold air. Though the hospital needed to be clean at all times, meaning the air needed to be recycled over and over inside each room, he never understood why they kept it so cold. Certainly they were going to get more patients sick if they continued to keep it bloody ass cold, rather then around seventy-two degrees. Anything lower then sixty-nine degrees, though, was a little too cold. That was probably just him, though, since he was used to anything around that temperature.

He felt Kagome's thigh raise a little, pressing it into his hand a little, as the woman groaned. His head shot up, watching as Kagome's head rolled to the side, her eyes opening to small silts, trying to get used to the lighting around them. However, once she was used to it, she looked at him, a small smile turning her lips upward. His own smile lit up his face, though he tried to fight against it, before he heard Kagome groan again.

"What happened, Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked, her eyebrows narrowing in a thoughtful motion.

Sesshoumaru frowned; concerned that she might not remember anything about the ordeal. According to Dr. Jinengi, a person had a small switch – if you will – inside the brain that could turn off certain memories that might be harmful to the body. Things that might make a person go into such depression, or guilt that they just shut down, and stopped running until they died. He hoped that hadn't happened to Kagome, since he wanted her to remember the moment he knocked Hojo away from her body. He wanted her to remember everything that had happened before then. He wanted her to remember his love.

"Is something wrong, Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked, bringing her hand up to rub at her bandage. She let out a small, "ouch" when she touched a certain spot, before frowning herself.

The door opened suddenly, causing the couple to look toward it. Jinengi walked inside, bowing his head a little in respect before moving toward the bed. "I came to check once more on Kagome before my shift is over… though, I'll probably be called in if anything major occurs," Jinengi laughed a little, tilting his head back.

"Yes, of course, doctor," Sesshoumaru, replied, watching as Kagome moved her hand so he could reach it. On instinct, Sesshoumaru moved the hand on her thigh and placed it so she could link her fingers with his own, which she did.

Jinengi looked down, saying, "Oh, I see you're awake. That's a good sign.

"Tell me, Ms. Ki, what do you remember?" Jinengi said. He pulled out a small flashlight, and opened her eye further, only to shine it inside, which caused Kagome to pull away. He smiled, however, moving to check the monitor with her heartbeat, blood pressure, and a few other vital signs on it. He was memorizing these things, nodding that his patient would be all right, when she began to speak.

"I… remember my birthday," Kagome said.

"Is that the first things you remember, Ms. Ki?" Jinengi asked.

Kagome smiled, "Of course it is, it was the happiest day of my life, Dr…"

"Jinengi," he replied.

"Dr. Jinengi," she mumbled.

"Tell me, Ms. Ki--" he began.

"Kagome, please, call me Kagome," she said, tilting her head to see him better.

"Of course," he replied. "Now, what is it about your birthday that you remember the most?"

"Sesshoumaru asked me to marry him," Kagome replied, instantly.

"What do you remember after that?" Jinengi asked.

"I remember… going to dinner, and then… a few days later…" Kagome frowned. "I heard Chance yelp, and I went to check on him, thinking he might have accidentally knocked something over onto himself."

"Do you remember anything else?" Jinengi asked. This was very good, but then again, she was saved in time, so perhaps she could remember everything.

Kagome nodded, "I remember Hojo…"

Sesshoumaru sat in silence, listening as Kagome tried to recount everything she remembered. She was doing very good, considering the circumstances that got her there. Still, he was still thinking of a way to tell her of the child within her. Would she be angry that he hadn't thought of protection at the time? Would she wish to abort the child? Or… would she be so overjoyed that she began crying from happiness? Would she try to wrap her arms around him, and ask him if he was sure? He didn't like the first of the two options, but either way… he would stay with her. After all, it was her body, and her choice. It might kill him a little inside to know that she'd destroyed his first – his only first, since he wouldn't get another one – child, and not thought twice about it.

How did he know it was his first? That was simple. All those other women he'd fucked had tried to cling onto the small pieces of memory they had of him, wanting to wiggle their way into his life. If they had been with child then he might have allowed them back in, but they'd never mentioned it. Plus, with all of them, he'd fucked them inside one of his guest's rooms, and whichever he chose, he made sure that he stocked it with condoms. Kagome was the only woman he'd ever had intercourse with without protection. He couldn't help it, though; she was just so warm… so soft. Could he stop himself from wanting pleasure from her body? Not only that, but from her mind.

At first he would have told you that he hated her; that he wished he could take her apart and reprogram her, before putting her back together the way he wanted her. At first he would have told you that he had an attraction toward her, – if he'd ever admit it - but he would never sink so low, and merely give into bodily desires. Now… now was different. Now he wanted to know what she was thinking. Now he wanted more then just her body. Now, he knew he was in love.

Jinengi nodded, before pulling out a small tape recorder, before saying, "I hope you don't mind if I record what you remember, Kagome. Detective Tsubaki wants as much information as she can get; that way they can lock Hojo up forever."

Kagome shook her head, saying, "I don't mind."

"Good," Jinengi smiled, "Now, tell me anything you can remember. Just don't rush yourself, or go farther then you want to. I don't want to bring you any discomfort."

Kagome watched as Jinengi pressed the record button, before saying, "I went to check on Chance, and found Hojo coming up the stairs. I was confused, and frightened at first, but quickly recovered, and asked him what he was doing, and what… he did to Chance. Of course, he merely said he wanted to see me, or something like that.

"He backed me into a wall when he noticed the ring on my finger. I'd tried to hide it the best I could, since I didn't want to hurt Sesshoumaru, but Hojo snapped when he realized it was an engagement ring. He started yelling about different things concerning when we were together a few years earlier, about my virginity then… and how I was supposed to have been his.

"I defended myself… by kneeing him between the legs, before rushing down the stairs. I don't remember getting to the alarm system, or not, but I do remember running past Chance, before I was knocked into a wall. I think Hojo grabbed ahold of my hair, and threw me toward it… I'm not sure," Kagome mumbled.

"That's quite alright, Kagome," Jinengi said, "Just tell me what you do remember."

Kagome nodded once more, looking over toward Sesshoumaru. "I… don't remember anything, except seeing him raise the knife he held, right as I screamed… and then pain in my head. I think he knocked me unconscious…"

"Hojo must have carried her up to the first guest room, because that's where I found them," Sesshoumaru said, continuing the thought. "I'd heard her scream, 'somebody help me', and rushed inside. Of course, Hojo must have been very determined because by the time I was inside he was already inside the room.

"I checked on the dog, first. Afterward I concluded that it would need medical attention, before running up the stairs. A sword I'd bought a few years before was hanging on the wall and I grabbed it. Of course, I've never had to actually use a weapon to defend myself, but I didn't know to what extent I would need to go to help Kagome.

"I went into the room and knocked Hojo unconscious when I found him ready to rape Kagome. She was barely conscious, from what the reaction I got after I knocked Hojo off his feet. I made sure to tie him up before taking Chance to the vet, and bringing Kagome here. Of course, I did leave Jaken to watch over the son of a bitch," Sesshoumaru hissed the last part quietly, not wanting the children to hear that sort of language.

Kagome blinked, before smiling, "So that's how I got here."

"Yes, Kagome," he replied.

"Hm… thank you, Kagome," Jinengi said, "You as well, Mr. Taisho. I believe Tsubaki will be very happy to use this in court against Hojo Ki. I don't believe the man will be alive much longer…"

Good riddance, Sesshoumaru thought, squeezing Kagome's hand. Together they watched as Jinengi walked toward the door. However, before he left, he told them that he wished them the best of luck, and if they needed anything to press the nurses button. Of course, they'd known this, but it was nice to know that someone was thinking about them.

Best of luck… Kagome thought? Best of luck for what, she continued? She turned her head toward Sesshoumaru, intent on asking him, however, he was already staring at her. That same gaze that told her that he was just happy to see her alive, and breathing. She would, mostly, never understand what the man thought, but for that she was grateful. She'd probably get a headache from the things he felt, just like he'd probably get a headache from her constant change in emotion. Hell, he probably already did.

A simple word, though, passed through her lips, "Explain."

He ignored the question, knowing what she meant, but not caring at the moment. His hand came up to caress her cheek once more, while he rested his head on her breast the best he could. "I'm so happy you're alright, Kagome," he mumbled, nuzzling his cheek against her covered skin. How he wished to hold her naked body, pleasing her until she forgot the awful ordeal she'd gone through. He wished he could take whatever she was feeling away, until only the love, and happiness of before was left. He was sure it was still there, just underneath what she was currently thinking of.

Still, she looked like nothing had happened. Maybe she wasn't going to go through some small trauma because of this. Perhaps she was only feeling what he wanted her to feel, and decided to put the past behind her. Then again, maybe she was merely hiding her pain well.

Kagome smiled, "I'm happy you're ok, too, Sesshoumaru. You could have been hurt trying to save me."

"I would have never given up, Kagome," he replied, "Not when you're at stake."

"I'm glad to hear that, Sesshoumaru, but you don't need to put your life on the line for mine," Kagome whispered. She smiled a little brighter, trying to tell him that he really didn't need to put himself inbetween everything that tried to take her life. He would be putting his on hold to protect her, and she didn't want him to do that.

"I do, though, Kagome," he replied, his tone as low as hers, "because you're mine. I won't let anyone else have you."

"That's very sweet, Sesshoumaru," she said, "Really, it is… but I don't want you to put your life on hold for me."

"I don't have to, Kagome," he smirked, "you are my life."

That little statement warmed her heart, and she nearly forgot about the question she'd asked him earlier, until he finally spoke of it.

"Especially now, Kagome," he whispered, his voice lower then before.

Kagome frowned, wondering what he was talking about. Never had he spoken so much, but maybe it was because he trusted her more. Usually he was quiet, only raising his voice when he was angry, or trying to make a point; other then that, Sesshoumaru wasn't very talkative, and she never thought she'd get this much out of him. She just hoped he continued to speak, since she really didn't know what he was talking about. She'd like to know, though.

"Kagome." He feared his voice would crack on him. She had the right to know that she was currently carrying life within her body, though. She had the right to know that she would be a mother if she wished it. "Kagome, I need to tell you something… but I don't know how."

Blinking a little, Kagome turned her head more, until she was resting her temple against the pillow. It stung a little, but other then that her head didn't hurt as much as it had when she woke up. As long as no one touched the spot where Hojo hit her, then she would be fine. "Try, if you must, Sesshoumaru," she said, reaching out toward him with her other hand. He was holding her right one like his life depended on it, and continued to stroke her cheek softly.

What could be so important?

"Kagome, my love," he whispered. "You are everything to me; the only star in my sky. I… I hope you don't hate me for this…"

"Sesshoumaru," she whispered, "Whatever it is, I'll always love you… Even if you tell me I'm going to die…" Her face dropped a little at the way he was talking to her, and she honestly thought he was going to tell her the doctors had found out she had cancer or something fatal.

"No, Kagome. No, that's not what it is," he replied, shaking his head.

"Then tell me," Kagome replied, her tone commanding, "… I'll be happy, don't worry about me."

"K-Kagome, you're pregnant," he blurted out, not thinking of anyway to soften it up. His eyes had shut, and he'd just let it out, not thinking about what her reaction might be. He didn't want to see her face when she went from the sweet little Kagome he knew, to some bitch who didn't want a life form growing inside her. He didn't want to see her glare at him, though, he was sure any minute from now he'd feel her death glare on him, and open his eyes to see it.

Surprise. That was about the only thing she could feel before happiness flooded over her. She placed the hand she'd almost touched Sesshoumaru with on her stomach, her frown turning into a smile. She was going to be a mother. Still, she turned to the tense Sesshoumaru, before letting out, "Are you sure" in a squeak.

Sesshoumaru merely nodded. He liked the tone she'd had, and opened his eyes a little. He found Kagome smiling, rubbing gentle circles over her stomach, while squeezing his hand tighter. Obviously this was good news to her, since she seemed happy enough. He was about to say something about abortion if she decided otherwise, but Kagome pulled his hand down to touch her womb gently, continuing to stare in awe.

Suddenly, Kagome let out a small laugh, "That's probably why I've been feeling sick in the morning lately."

"You have?" Sesshoumaru asked.

Kagome nodded, "Yeah, silly. I tried to tell you one day, but you wouldn't pay attention to me; something about getting to work as fast as you could, and seeing me when I got there. I've been drinking herbal tea my mother used to use before we grew distant from each other; she used it when I had stomachaches, or puked. Its works quite well, actually. I didn't think the sickness I was having was because I was pregnant."

"How long has this been happening, Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked. He, actually, remembered the day she'd tried to tell him something. He didn't know what she was trying to tell him, but she'd said something about not feeling well, before he rushed out the door. He'd gotten a call from work saying that they needed him then and there, because something was wrong. Of course, it hadn't really been that big of a deal when he got there, but he could have sworn he heard a door slam shut as he went out the door.

"Five, maybe six days," Kagome said. "The tea helps, since I've only puked maybe two times out of those. It eases my stomach, though it doesn't work all the time." She pressed his hand to her womb a little harder, using both hands instead of one.

"I don't understand, Kagome," Sesshoumaru sighed, "Why didn't you try to tell me this when I wasn't so busy?"

"I didn't want to bring up something unimportant," Kagome mumbled, her eyes drooping a bit.

Sesshoumaru smirked; that was an answer he should have expected from Kagome. She didn't want to make him think she needed him for everything, so she decided not to make it seem like such a big thing. "Now, we know it is important."

"Appears so," Kagome said.

She opened her eyes wider, before saying, "Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes, Kagome?" he asked. He was tired all of a sudden, and he just wanted to sleep next to his woman. The woman who held his heart so possessively he didn't think anyone else would ever get ahold of it. Even if she were to leave him early in life, no one would ever get it out of her cold, dead hands, as she continued to hold it fiercely. Her fingers seemed to curl around it and pull it straight from his chest, before she stared at him through the top of her eyes, while petting it. Funny thing was, he could imagine her doing that.

"Guess what I'm going to do once I'm get outta here?" she smirked.

"What?" he said, looking up toward her face?

"You're supposed to guess, silly," she replied, giggling.

"Fine…" he mumbled, "Your… going to take Chance for a walk to strengthen his muscles…"

"No, silly man," she giggled. "I'm going to ride my motorcycle! Then, if I wasn't pregnant, I would have made myself the strongest White Russian I could, but since I am, I'm going to drink as much Sprite as I can."

"And you call me silly," he smirked.

"Yes, silly man," she giggled.

A few moments later, Sesshoumaru noticed how quiet it had become, and looked up. Kagome's head was still facing him, but her eyes had closed, and she was beginning to talk in her sleep. Her nose wrinkled, as she said, "Yes… that feel nice…" as her hand tightened her hold on his heart. Somehow, he just knew she was talking about him.

oOo

"Sango," Kagome said, trying to pull herself away from her friend. It'd been over four months since the incident, and she had around three days before she was getting married, and Sango insisted on giving her a small bachelorette party, since she was beginning to show in her pregnancy. Sesshoumaru had refused on letting her go, since Sango said she wanted to take Kagome to the new club Hiten and his wife, their friend, Ayame had opened up. Yes, it was amazing that they'd married, as well, and before her, but they'd decided to elope, since their parents hadn't approved of them being together.

She, too, had not wished to go, since Sesshoumaru had become so much cuddlier lately. He liked to snuggle up with her at night, telling her that she looked more beautiful then ever before, while rubbing his hands over the hump where her flat stomach used to be. She'd once mentioned it would be embarrassing to walk down the aisle fat, and wobbling. However, Sesshoumaru had told her that he wasn't going to wait until after their child was born, since he wanted to legally have her in his family before then. Or something weird like that.

Still, she liked when he would rest his silver head on her stomach, and nuzzle where he thought the child was. Of course, they hadn't felt the child move, yet, but she had this feeling that around a month or more she would. She just had this feeling.

"Oh, come on, Kagome," Sango said, pulling her harder. She made sure her friend didn't trip, or fall, but continued to pull her along. She held her up the last time she'd nearly went falling onto her face, and hoped it didn't happen again. She'd gotten so frightened the last time until Kagome told her she was ok. "You'll love this. The lights, and music are rockin'!"

"Rockin'?" Kagome asked.

"Yes!" Sango said, "I mean, come on, Kagome, you'll only be a free woman for the next… what, four days. You have to have some fun before you're all tied down."

"But Sango," Kagome pouted. She didn't want to go. She didn't even want to be nearly to the door, yet Sango continued to pull her along. When would she just give up, and let her go home. Her feet hurt, and she was beginning to feel queasy from walking so far.

"We're almost there, Kagome," Sango said.

"Sango, really, I don't feel well," Kagome said, gulping down the saliva in her mouth.

Sango stopped, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Kagome. Once we're inside, I'll get you some 7up, or Sprite, whichever you want, and you can sit down, ok."

"Ok," she smiled. It was a good thing her stomach decided to act up on her, since she wanted to leave as soon as she could. Maybe if her child decided that she needed to lie down Sango would call for Sesshoumaru, and she could go home. All she wanted to do was cuddle into Sesshoumaru's lap, watching a movie with the children until they needed to go to bed for school the next day, and feel his hand caressing her stomach.

"Kagome," Sango said, "Earth to Kagome!"

"Yeah," she replied.

"We're going in," Sango said. Apparently she'd already spoken with the bouncer, and they were going inside. Of course, she really didn't want to go inside until she saw Ayame. She'd heard that Ayame had, at one point, quit working for Kouga, but came back when he asked, only to quit again a few weeks later.

"Ayame," Kagome said. She waved, trying to rush forward the best she could.

"Slow down, little mama," Ayame said, hugging her when she came into her embrace. She hugged her tightly, before letting go.

"Don't call me little," Kagome hissed, pushing Ayame away. She missed, though, and fell into her arm. Frowning, she knew she wasn't as frightening as she once was. Even her brother had told her to cool it, because, quote: "With that stomach hangin' out, you ain't scarin' anyone," unquote.

Ayame just laughed, saying, "So, I heard Hojo was going to be given his trial in a month."

"Yeah, Naraku's been in prison for helping him out, but his case took a lo-ong time; he won't be getting out, because he got a life sentence. I didn't go, but Tsubaki wants me at Hojo's to testify. According to what Tsubaki's told me, Hojo was wearing a wig, and green contact, which was one of a couple reasons why they couldn't find him. He had also used make-up to change his skin color, and never did anything wrong… so he had been hard to find." Kagome shrugged, not really caring.

"Well, it'll be good when he'd finally gone," Sango laughed.

Ayame nodded, "Let's get you two to a table. I'll go tell Devon what you guys want for drinks, and I'll make sure to tell him no alcohol for Kagome, no matter how much she begs."

"Hey," Kagome said, offended.

"It was a joke, Kags, get over it," Ayame said. She leaned over to Sango, and whispered, "Man, she's getting really emotional, isn't she?"

Sango nodded.

"You know, I can hear you, right?" Kagome said. She looked around the club, noticing that Ayame and Hiten had decided to use some of the better music of their teen-hood. The lighting was ok, but she really wasn't into the whole suddenly changing colors. The dance floor looked nice, but she wouldn't risk dancing in her condition unless she was slow dancing with Sesshoumaru.

"Grouchy, too," Ayame whispered.

Sango shook her head, knowing that from the distance, Kagome'd heard that as well. Still, she had to agree with Ayame, Kagome did seem a little grouchier then usual. Of course, they could blame that on her personality more then anything else.

Sighing, Sango said, "Lets just have fun as long as we can." They did, until Kagome's stomach became so queasy Sango had to rush her into the restroom, where she puked. Of course, after that, Kagome complained that she wanted to go home so much that Sango finally pulled out her cell and asked Sesshoumaru to come get her, which around twenty minutes later, he did. When he left, Sango saw Kagome turn her head and stick out her tongue, and only then did she realize she'd been tricked… and by a pregnant woman.

oOo

Kagome gulped, looking up as the priest said, "You may now kiss the bride." Like she wanted to do that. After Sesshoumaru drew out his "I do" she didn't even want his mouth near hers. First, she was pregnant, grouchy, and didn't want to be there, but he'd drug her down to walk down the aisle, in her mother's back yard, in a kimono, which at the moment seem heavy. This was supposed to be one of the greatest days of her life, yet he'd made it one of the worse when he drew out his "I do" because she truly thought he was going to walk out on her. She'd given him those large frightened eyes, while the priest stared at him expectantly. Hell, she'd nearly gone into tears when it took him nearly a minute and a half just to say he'd become her husband. The bastard.

She wanted to kill him, not kiss him.

"Come now, Kagome," Sesshoumaru whispered, staring into her eyes, while she glared at him. He knew she was angry with him, but it didn't matter. With the final kiss she would be his wife, since she was already wearing his wedding band. He'd make sure she promised later never to take it off unless she was doing something so disgusting it might ruin the precious piece of metal. It was his symbol of love, since he was man enough to keep his woman, instead of letting her go.

Kagome sighed, stretching her neck out. She heard the "ahh" of the women – mostly her mother – as his lips took hers. However, no one seemed to notice when he slipped his tongue into her mouth and began lapping at the inside of her mouth. Of course, today she refused to play his game, since she really didn't want to.

Besides, she was currently asking herself why they had to have their wrists tied together. It was something her mother had insisted on, though, she really didn't understand it. She was also trying to figure out why they said the words, "I now pronounce you man and wife." Why not, "I now pronounce you woman and husband"? Yeah, yeah, something about the man being the bigger one on top, but who cared. Shouldn't they be able to pick which one was higher in the relationship? Really, she considered herself higher then Sesshoumaru, so they should have gotten the latter of the two options.

Besides, she liked that one better. She was sure Sesshoumaru would have agreed with her, since she'd found many ways to make her male beg. It was true. At first she never thought she could get Sesshoumaru to beg, but tease him while your pregnant, and he doesn't want to hurt your supple body by playing rough, and he begs. She was sure that she could have gotten Sesshoumaru to agree with the latter option, since he couldn't restrain himself. But… he had to, so he had no choice.

Yes, she was an evil being, she'd realized that; her man, Sesshoumaru, was like the light to her darkness. She wanted to make him beg, while she continued to get pleasure out of him. Besides, it made things interesting. Though, she knew that he wouldn't beg once she'd given birth. There was always the option of getting pregnant again, since she was sure he wouldn't use much protection. Something about not being able to feel how soft she was.

She had the power, and she knew how to use it!

Sesshoumaru pulled away, looking down at the kimono he wore. He hadn't really thought about it, since he'd allowed Kagome to do most of the planning, but as everyone clapped, wept, and shouted their congratulations, he decided this was very nice. He'd only been in a kimono for formal events when younger, but other then that, he'd never been into one. The silk he was wearing, though, was very nice. He hadn't even known he'd had this kimono until Kagome'd found it and shown it to him. It was a lovely kimono, with the design of a dragon on the shoulder and sleeves, and a black and yellow obi.

She was wearing the white kimono her mother had insisted she wear. It had been baggy enough to fit around her stomach, which wasn't that far out, but it seemed to be getting on her emotional radar already. She wasn't constantly emotional – who was he kidding, she was even without the child in her womb – since she could become comfortable, and have the same emotion for the longest time he'd ever seen anyone be happy, or sad, but after that she'd change, and wish to know what he was thinking, or something.

Still, as he pulled away from the alter, and began to move toward the wedding cake, he was just happy to be married to her. Finally she was completely his. Not only because he said so, but because they were legally tied together. All that needed to be done as for him to adopt Shippo, and her to adopt Rin, since it was only natural. After all, the two little ones playing together close by were some of the many little things that got them to this wonderful moment. They were just one of the little things that got her to become…

Mrs. Kagome Taisho…

OoO

KibaSin:

One more chapter, one more chapter! One more chapter!

Ok, I know, most of the chapter has nothing to do with the title. Yes, I know this, but I couldn't come up with anything else. Truly, my mind was like, no, no, no, no, no, maybe, no, no, no, ah… what was I thinking about again? So, I decided one word would do it, and decided to just write the chapter. So, anyway, that's done and over with. Hopefully, I won't be bugged about it by my head.

Anyway, as I was saying, ONE MORE CHAPTER! Ok, an 'Epilogue'. Either way, it's a chapter. It will not be around 4k words… probably only 2k, since I don't want it to be as long as the rest of the chapter, since I'll only tell you about a couple of things after I get over the main idea. I'm already workin' on it, so you won't have to wait too long. I'm almost to 1k words! I just had to work on something else for a while, which I will do after I'm done typing this.

So, when this story is done, I won't have to worry about it anymore. That means I won't have to… ah… think about it, either. Which is a good thing, since I want to work on other things. Like, Wounded Heart: Re-Written, which I hope the next chapter to isn't very long. Hopefully I don't because that means I can start on the next chapter and hopefully give you two, instead of one. Plus, I want to continue, Breeding School, and Escaping Imprisonment (Sequel to Perfection) Oh, and not to forget it, but also Shikon Legend. Plus, I might type up another story on the side, which I won't upload until I'm close to finishing another story, that way I'm worried about updating at a certain time.

I'm just glad I had time to type. I thought I'd be worried about the WASL (The Washington State Test) but I'm not. Apparently we're the guinea pigs this year, and the 8th graders have to take the WASL as well. Sucks to be us. I'm not worried about it, though, since I'm sure I'll pass it. I passed the 7th grade WASL, and I've been training for the 8th grade one all year… according to our teachers, who'd been shoving things into our heads that will help. I didn't know this, which was probably a good thing.

So, I'll update the 'Epilogue' as soon as I can, and I'll see you all later.
