LAST TIME:
Kagome shook her head. "No, it's not Naraku, Inu-Yasha. This…is my father."
The man's ears perked up at that name. "Naraku? Onigumo?" he asked them. Kagome nodded. "My brother."
There was a thud on the ground, saying Kagome had fainted.
Chapter Six
The Hanyou Child
When Kagome woke up, Inu-Yasha enveloped her in a deep hug. "Thank God, I was so worried."
Kagome smiled gently and kissed him on both of his ears. He groaned but smiled anyway. "Not when everyone else is here."
Kagome blushed and just sat in Inu-Yasha's lap. The Hanyou held her protectively as they stared at Kaede. "I have some very shocking news to give you all…"
Miroku and Sango entered the hut, holding hands. Kohaku followed behind them, and surprisingly Rin.
"Kagome-Sama, you're awake!" Sango exclaimed and ran over to hug her best friend.
The Neko Hanyou laughed and hugged Sango back. The Taijya grinned and walked over to stand beside Miroku. The Houshi wrapped an arm around her waist protectively. It was a habit he had developed over the past week or so.
"So…"
They all sweat dropped. "Otousan, do you think you can pass through the Well?" Kagome asked.
"I think it may be possible, but I'm not sure," Mr. Higurashi, or should we say, Orion, replied.
"It is worth a try," Sango said. "Anything's possible if you put your mind to it."
Kaede coughed to let them know she was still there. "Kagome, Inu-Yasha, I have some news for ye, but I must ask you first…" she went and whispered something in both of their ears and they blushed furiously, but nodded. "you are pregnant."
When Kagome had rewoken, she found herself laying on Inu-Yasha's lap. "Hey, you had us all worried."
Kagome smiled weakly. "I'm fine."
"Good," Inu-Yasha said sternly and with seriousness, making Kagome giggle. "Nani?"
"Nothing," Kagome laughed. "So…" she breathed, and a few moments of silence followed. "A baby."
"Mmmhmm," Inu-Yasha replied.
"Inu-Yasha?"
"Nani?"
She flinched. "What do you think? D'you -want- to have this child?" she asked.
"Of course I do," Inu-Yasha replied. "Especially if you're the mother."
Kagome had tears in her eyes. "Inu-Yasha…"
"Nani?"
"That's the nicest thing anyone -espcially you- ever said to me," Kagome replied.
Inu-Yasha smiled weakly and gently kissed Kagome, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly. They stayed like that for hours until he heard Kagome's soft breathing, signalling that his mate was fast asleep.
TBC…
A/N- Well, I think I had better go to bed. See you all in a few days when I'll finish this and post it!
