Chapter 8. Seeing mommy again
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
The next thing Mitsuji knew was he was being blinded with some bright thing that hurt, when he tried shielding his eyes from it he had his hand held done tightly, maybe a little more then necessary but to them with a demon baby even if only half, could do serious damage.
When a half demon mates to a human the baby will be born with same amount of demonic blood as it's parent and as much blood as in the human, but on some rare occasion if a half demon mates with a pure demon the which ever blood is more dominant the child could be born with blood almost equivalent to that of it's parent's blood but if the half demon has the dominant blood then the half demon will be stronger then most of it's kind. In any case in their infancy stage they can be as strong as an average 3-4 year old, as they age their endurance and agility increases at alarming rates.
The doctor got the light to flash directly onto Mitsuji's retina, his iris got larger instantly.
"His sight is very good….very good indeed.."
The doctor then moved the light in very random directions, as much as Mitsuji hated looking at that bright thing that hurt his eyes he couldn't keep his eyes off it as it moved.
"He's alert and focuses good."
Next the doctor did a reflex test he tapped an instrument on to Mitsuji's knee and he the instant the instrument made contact with his skin Mitsuji's feet went in the air, then he began to fuss a little but the doctor had learned a thing or two about children over the years and was able to console him, though he still felt very miserable. All Mitsuji could think about was the wonderful creature who held and fed him, a tear fell from his eye, he thought he probably was never going to see neither of his parents faces again.
"One so little…why do you look so depressed?"
For a moment it looked as if Mitsuji would answer back, he would've if he'd understood a single word he had said. The doctor gave a sigh and asked himself once more why he was talking to nobody, Mitsuji had a confused expression on his face, he had no idea of course what the man was saying, his voice and touch sounded and felt nothing like Kagome's. The doctor ran a few more tests after.
"I suppose we're done now all that's left is your….err…NURSE!"
A nurse popped in and the doctor smiled a somewhat toothy grin, the nurse huffed and grabbed the diaper from the doctor's hand, she really hated how lazy the doctor was when it came to things like that.
Mitsuji looked at the women with an ever fearful expression, he didn't want her anywhere near him let alone touching him there. As the nurse got closer and each step she took his eyes seemed to get bigger and fill with more fear then each previous second.
The nurse noticed the change in atmosphere around the child, it went from mostly depressed to fear. She let her expression soften as she cuddled the child close to her chest, this women still felt nothing like Kagome but it was better then nothing to him at the moment, he gripped onto her front and started sobbing.
"Oh…baby shhhh…I know you probably miss your mommy don't worry you'll see her later.."
Mitsuji heard her but of course had no idea what she was saying, when a person talked to him their voices were just mere sounds but with Kagome's 'sound' it was soothing to his ears, a soft gentle silky cool voice, when she sang however she had him completely mesmerized.
His father's voice seemed more forceful yet when he communicated to her using his 'sound' Inuyasha's voice would become more gentle but occasionally go back to it's rough note.
"Ok Mitsuji it's time to change your diaper."
The nurse spoke softly while smiling at the very confused baby.
Now people kept calling him by that sound at first another one was used when he knew people were referring to him because they were looking at him and they said it most often, he heard it so many times he memorized the sound and knew it was his own, but now there was a new sound and this was how people kept referring to him as, he was still memorizing it but when he did he hoped that they wouldn't change his sound again.
This was the first time he was being changed so the whole experience to anyone would be well….weird.
He had noticed of sometime that he felt something cold below his waist but knew there was nothing he could do about it, so why cry about something you couldn't fix? Then he felt something cold rubbing against his skin he also felt his legs being lifted, at first he felt a little violated but then he felt the padded material which made it feel soft around his back area when he laid on a hard cold surface or in someone's arms, but one more thing he noticed that wet cold feeling was gone, he found that amazing he hoped he wouldn't be feeling that way anytime soon.
The nurse wondered away for a moment, Mitsuji cried out in agony he thought she was leaving him too but she was quick with washing her hands, and returned to him. His expression almost read 'You came back!'
The nurse showed him her soft expression once more and picked the little infant up while gently rocking and messaging and patting his neck and back.
Mitsuji gave a satisfied sigh and rested his head against the nurses body while sucking his thumb to keep himself occupied.
'This little guy needs a pacifier or else he'll wear his teeth done if he keeps that up, very bad habit to get into.'
The nurse tried pulling his thumb out of his mouth but each time she tried he groaned really loud and turned away from her touch.
The nurse then came to what looked like a wall to Mitsuji or what ever it was that lined the 'world' then he gasped a little when he saw it slide open, Mitsuji looked up and saw an interestingly shaped object that glowed kind of like the light but it didn't hurt his eyes, he was happy about that, he still could see flashes from when the doctor did that and wondered if they would go away. But as he was thinking about that he hadn't noticed the nurse stepping towards the opening wall and got real excited at first but then got scared when he saw how small it was. What came next was nothing compared to how scared he was when first stepping but then it moved and he felt the vibration of going up. He didn't like it.
"AAAAHHHHH!"
Mitsuji screamed, the nurse began patting his back and whispering soothing sounds in his ear but nothing worked, his scream got louder when they stopped but unfortunately for the nurse and whoever else would board until they reached their destination, he would scream each time the elevator moved then when it stopped for a few seconds, Mitsuji would be silent but once they got moving again….
"AAAAAAHHHHH!"
"Mitsuji MITSUJI! Shhhhhh!"
The nurse said as she used her whole body to rock him.
Next stop….silence…..people board…..door closes…..on the move…
"AAAHHH AHH AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
It was like a chorus line, each scream only seemed to get louder, until the nurse had it and got fed up.
"OK you know what? I wasn't going to do this until you were sleeping but you need it NOW!"
A few curious on lookers were worried what the nurse would do to an innocent infant.
Mitsuji almost chocked from the impact of whatever was shoved in the source of where his sounds came from.
"There, now you have to shut up!"
The nurse didn't mean to be so mean with her words but she had to silence him one way or another and she succeeded.
Mitsuji began to 'cutely' suck on the pacifier, curious as to how this strange object stopped him from making noise. The nurses eyes became a bit bigger so did Mitsuji's as he looked at her, she couldn't help but hold him closer and cuddle with him, being this up close you could smell him and he did smell good.
It took so long to get to their desired floor that Mitsuji fell asleep in his staring contest with the nurse, slowly his eyes began to close until he shut them completely and snuggled deeper into the nurses chest. When he had been first taken away the doctor carried him up the stairs not the elevator that was one of the causes of his frightful experience he didn't know things could move without you moving it yourself.
Once the ride was over, the nurse sighed and prayed thanks that it was over.
'Phew' finally we're here!'
The nurse looked down at her still sleeping patient, she couldn't help but be crazy about him just like everyone else.
'Aww he looks so cute! And he's still sleeping!'
The nurse took a look at his face and guess what she couldn't resist touching?
'His nose is so cute, cutest part of his body! I'll only do this once!'
Mitsuji felt a familiar poking on the front of his face, he opened his eyes in excitement that was how Kagome touched him but then sighed in disappointment, it wasn't her.
'Wait just once more….OHHH he's so cute….OK ok last time….'
"AH HEY!"
Mitsuji was tired of her doing that he slapped her hand for her to stop and she did. Then he came upon a room that was filled with squabbling infants, the smell was kind of strong too, then he realized he was being laid down in a bed like the rest of them, he saw the nurse smiling softly still as she settled him down in his bed.
"Mitsuji even though I just met you, it was fun watching you I hope I see you again someday, I have to go now bye…"
Mitsuji watched as the nurse walked away but then he wasn't as precautious as last time and believed she was coming back, but then slowly he realized she wasn't coming back, he was only a day old and yet he never thought he would ever feel more alone.
Just then an idea popped in his head a rather crazy one too, he noticed how everyone could move by themselves but someone always held him. Why? And why couldn't he try moving on his own? Mitsuji then began to the process of just trying to sit up on his own. Which he had no idea how to do, he slowly rose his arms in front of him to keep his balance, next the trick was getting his back to cooperate. Amazingly he rose in the air for a few seconds before he fell backwards but had a soft landing on both his behind and head thanks to the pillow that was currently resting underneath him.
He would not give up, Mitsuji tried the whole process one more time he got higher off the ground this time but he was high enough to where the glass part of the bed was to insure safety and Mitsuji banged his head against it when he lost balance (Some protection that was!)
Mitsuji's eyes began to water, as he thought he was never getting out of there. Eventually he cried himself to sleep.
The hospital maybe opened always and have high security but someone tonight felt lucky and they were as this lone figure dodged every security obstacle and keep their distance from the public eye. It took a while for the sneaky person to reach their destination but they did. The door was open that was a definite sign that God was on their side that night.
Mitsuji lay awake for awhile, he had fallen asleep a few times but kept waking up, this place was making him go insane and he wasn't sure how much more he could take, until he sensed someone else besides a funny smelling nurse or doctor, or a stinky baby, this scent was different in a way, one person came to mind but then he dismissed it as an illusion It couldn't have possibly been her, Mitsuji turned to his side, he began his sobbing episode again, he wanted Kagome so bad he'd kill or do something bad just to see her.
The stranger heard Mitsuji's cries and their face fell in to a sympathetic expression, the person opened their arms up as they got closer to the infant's bed.
Mitsuji felt himself being lifted around the waist then his head lay on the very soft very familiar pillow like arm. Mitsuji felt something warm and moist make contact with his forehead then cheek, Mitsuji had had enough he was tired of being fooled into thinking it was her and he just wailed.
"WAAAAAAAHHH WAAAAH WAAAH!"
Mitsuji cried louder and to top his misery he felt that same sensation below his waist again. Mitsuji waved his fists around and kicked because of the discomfort underneath his pajamas.
"My poor Mitsuji's wet…..Oh, shh sweetie no cry, please don't cry….mama's here now.."
Kagome cooed to Mitsuji, that sound he knew it had to be her, he looked up and it was her! Kagome looked down on her boy's shocked expression and smiled softly like always.
"Hey there! You remember me right?"
Kagome asked out of a bit of fear, she hoped the time spent away from her didn't cause him to forget. She had no idea how far fetched her fear truly was.
"GEH!"
Mitsuji grunted while he slammed himself forward against Kagome's breasts as he held onto her while trembling slightly, Kagome corrected this by simply rocking him a bit.
"Hmm I see they gave you a pacifier, you know what though…?"
Even though Mitsuji could neither answer nor understand Kagome anything she had to say he wanted to hear because hearing her voice was everything to him.
"…..Your nose looks even cuter!"
Kagome giggled while nuzzling him with her own nose, Mitsuji liked that sensation a lot for one thing it tickled and then it felt so good being so close to her as she made sound.
"Come, I'll make you feel better…."
Mitsuji couldn't have asked for anything else except the matter of his diaper but he wasn't about to beg.
He felt himself being lain down on a table while he saw Kagome pulling out a few things, then he felt her unbuttoning his pajamas. It felt nice to have air between his legs he began moving around a little, then he felt the soft padding come off completely he didn't like the feeling of just sitting there cold and exposed he started whimpering again then it turned into crying and his pacifier fell out he had gotten used to the feel of it in his mouth and now he missed it so he cried some more. But then Kagome's gentle hands reassured and relaxed the restless pup. Kagome gently did everything, even though Mitsuji didn't exactly like the sensation of a wet and cold material on his skin but then Kagome was a lot more gentler then the nurse was so he felt relaxed the entire time, when he felt the soft padding come once again he sighed happily Kagome heard it and smiled, Mitsuji didn't think her hands could be that gentle, everything had felt good and the soft padding didn't feel too tight she had made sure to make it so he experienced absolutely no discomfort.
Kagome smiled at him once more but then made the mistake of turning her back on him, even though she was just going to wash her hands, Mitsuji threw the biggest fuss he wailed louder then he had ever had, he thrashed his feet hard against the surface of what he was lying on, then he hit a few random objects with his tiny fists.
'Oh no! he's crying.'
But once Mitsuji saw Kagome coming close to him again he stopped, she smiled again and watched him for a moment just laying there. She watched as he tried retrieving the pacifier that fell out of his mouth, he made a few noises symbolizing that he was really trying until Kagome came forward and placed it in his mouth for him.
"There now better?"
Mitsuji snuggled as close as humanly possible to Kagome and clung to her with all his strength. He tried wrapping his legs around her body but couldn't he could only lean against her.
"Oh Mitsuji…my Mitsuji did you miss me? Huh?"
Kagome asked in a baby like tone that adults use with babies, she leaned into his nose again and started tickling it while saying,
"I bet you did! I bet ya'"
Kagome said also in a baby tone.
"Oh I almost forgot I have something for you Mitsuji something very special."
"It was mine when I was baby."
Kagome took out a red blanket which to Mitsuji resembled her scent a lot and he liked it on the blanket. After Kagome wrapped him up in it, Mitsuji buried himself in Kagome's neck, Kagome started singing him rock-a-bye baby he became lost in her voice especially since he was laying against the spot where you could 'feel' it when she spoke. Kagome gave his back and lower back a soft pat then messaged his neck and ears while using her whole body as a rocker.
He felt as if he was in heaven, he was once again in Kagome's arms literally wrapped in her scent and then he lay next to where he could hear and feel her voice the most, being so close was an added bonus, Mitsuji's hands tightly gripped Kagome's blouse just like before, he wanted to feel every part of this amazing person.
"Shhh….sleep now my little Mitsuji!"
Kagome hushed, she could tell he was trying to resist sleeping for some reason. A minute later he was sound asleep. Kagome realized she couldn't take him with her, so after setting him back down in his bed she stayed with him for awhile until she knew he wasn't going to wake up in the middle of the night crying, eventually around midnight she left the room. She sneakily snuck back in bed as fast as she could.
"And just where've you been?"
Kagome gulped then turned around to see her husband with a concerned and frowned expression.
"So sue me I wanted to be with my baby is that such a crime? Or is it wrong that I wanted to be with him?"
Inuyasha sighed he knew Kagome had every right to see her baby but that still didn't excuse her from sneaking out anything could've happened and he would've blamed himself for everything.
"Kagome….I was worried about you, I woke up just now from well err….a nap and I saw you were gone but then I heard you coming back and decided to just wait for you."
Kagome looked at her bed in shame, she didn't mean to worry him.
Kagome began to develop a few tears in her eyes but before any fell Inuyasha was at her side to wipe them away, he embraced her from behind and nibbled at her neck then snuggled into it while sniffing her hair, Kagome laughed at the sensation.
"Inuyasha?"
Kagome said while wearing a real goofy grin.
"Y-yeah…"
Inuyasha said while still being buried in her head and partially giggling.
"Where exactly were you napping don't lie to me I want to know…."
Kagome said while snickering she already knew and thought it was sweet but she wanted to hear him admit it.
"Why does it matter?"
Kagome then whipped around so fast Inuyasha jumped back in fear as Kagome's hair hit him like a whip.
"What do you mean what does it matter you're my husband and aren't I not supposed to worry as well?"
Inuyasha had no answer on that one he would sound awfully stupid if he said it was only the male's job to worry.
Kagome began to cry, but she was smiling on the inside. But the trick worked Inuyasha held her tighter and consoled her.
"No more tears ok Kagome?"
"Sure so tell me Inuyasha where were you?"
Inuyasha sighed not wanting to upset Kagome anymore he lowered his head,
"Inappedwithmymother…."
"What I'm sorry I couldn't understand you…"
"I laid down with my mother OK!"
"OH how sweet!"
Kagome said while putting on a cute expression and speaking in a high pitched voice.
"Little Inuyasha miss his mommy?"
Kagome said knowing Inuyasha would get irritated.
"Shut up!"
"Inuyasha, it's ok I wasn't making fun of you, that was sweet you had a little nappy with mommy!"
Kagome started giggling again, Inuyasha crossed his arms and pouted.
"Seriously though Inuyasha."
'Maybe I should've stayed with Kagome instead of coming out here…there's no other bed in there and that chair is making my back hurt!'
"Yawn, I'm tired!"
'Maybe I'll just lie down right here.'
"Mmm so soft and warm!"
The 'thing' opened up one eye and smiled, as she saw Inuyasha leaning on her backside and using it as a pillow, the lights were dimmed so he couldn't see anything but the smell of the object he was laying on smelled familiar.
"I'll only rest for a moment…'yawn'…only for a moment…"
'Of course! Every time you've said that I always had to throw you out of bed, afterwards!'
Inuyasha's 'head rest' shifted it's position, and sat up, Inuyasha groaned a little, all this person had to do was run her finger under Inuyasha's chin and he yes crawled to her, once in this person's arms he cuddled as far in as possible while resting his head against the person's chest.
"My little boy, an adult you are but I see you've still come crawling back to me! Just like when you were a baby!"
Izayoi had a big smile on her face as she leaned on top of Inuyasha's head and messaged his ears, happy her little boy was in her arms again.
"Mother…"
Inuyasha mumbled in his sleep.
"Shhh sleep Inuyasha, you've had enough for today!"
"Yes…"
Inuyasha muttered before he became fully unconscious.
"And that's how it happened."
"The next thing I knew I woke up in my mother's arms."
"I still think that's so sweet and cute!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Ok ok enough with the 'cute' already it wasn't that big of a deal!"
"Now lay down so I can message your back."
"Huh? No really you need your rest and besides you just had our baby…"
Kagome patted the spot next to her and Inuyasha couldn't find any other way out, sighed and laid on his side, Inuyasha soon enough felt the delicate touch of Kagome's hands as they worked in all the right places and easily took away his aches and pains, he bit back a few moans from the pleasure, Kagome could clearly hear it by the way he was breathing, then she started to rub his ears, he started moaning.
"Kagome…!"
Inuyasha moaned.
"Shhh sleep Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha fell asleep shortly after, Kagome finally put herself to rest for the night too and slept easily knowing both her boys were safe.
Early the next morning a nurse came in to check up on Kagome's condition, she appeared healthy enough but would need much more rest when at home, they had offered to provide them with an at home nurse, because Inuyasha had to work, he told them that wouldn't be necessary because of Maria, he didn't want to take advantage of her but she would help anyway even if they told her to rest.
Kagome could think of nothing but her baby, it had only one night but she missed him so much.
"Kagome why are you crying?"
Kagome sniffled and wiped her eyes.
"I miss Mitsuji."
"Looks like more then a little to me."
"He should be waking up in a mom…."
"Beep….Nurse…"
The nurse had a walky talky with her a person was speaking.
"Yes…beep?"
"There's….an infant..beep…he hasn't stop crying I think you need to send his parents down here fast….Beep!"
"Beep…Which one is it….Beep?"
"Beep…uh I think Mitsuji Azakura…beep.."
Kagome gasped it was her baby, she was about to run out the door, but found she didn't have the energy so she had to settle with walking but Inuyasha stopped her and made her sit in a wheel chair while he pushed her.
"I can walk myself you know!"
Kagome said with as much of a grouch tone as possible.
"I know honey but you need to…"
"I know I KNOW! Save my energy! Shut up about that already!"
'Must be the mood swings.'
Kagome appeared grumpy the rest of the way, a few onlookers were curious about her mood,
"What are you looking at?"
Kagome would shout, Inuyasha would message her shoulders and she'd settle down slightly, she was like this until she came upon the nursery ward.
"WAAAAAAHH AHHH AHHH WAAAAAHH!"
'My baby…..'
Kagome's eyes and face lit up her expression became cheerful again.
"Oh my sweet little doggie eared boy! Come to mommy, Shhh calm down no more crying Yes…."
Kagome cooed to Mitsuji who snuggled up to her in return tightly grasping her. He was so happy to see her, he was so scared when he woke up she was gone, and he had screamed his head off ever since but then he smelled her scent in the room and heard her wonderful sound, he opened his watery eyes and there she was again, with that look on her face.
"So you said he's been crying since before we got here?"
Kagome said after Mitsuji had settled down in her arms while sucking on her finger.
"Yes we had no idea what was wrong except that maybe he wanted you."
"Hmm I can see that!"
Kagome said as she looked down at the still occupied Mitsuji.
"Did you ever think that maybe he needed a new diaper?"
All of the doctors froze they couldn't believe they had been so stupid as to not think of that before.
"Uh…well…."
Kagome smirked at them.
"Uh I'll do it right now!"
"No it's ok I'll do it…."
"No Kagome let them do it you need to just sit down, you'll have him back in a moment."
Kagome let the doctors take Mitsuji and to be expected his crying episodes started again, he screamed so loud Kagome started to get a little emotional again, then she felt herself getting wet around the breasts.
They were done after a few minutes of Mitsuji's struggling, once he was returned to Kagome he held on as tight as he could he would not be easily yanked away.
Inuyasha reached down and tickled Mitsuji's chin, Mitsuji looked up and recognized Inuyasha because of his ears and eyes, Mitsuji continued to stare, he drooled a little Kagome giggled and cleaned his mouth, he looked at his mother and reached a hand to touch her face.
Kagome took his tiny hand and helped him feel the skin on her face.
"Hungry?"
Kagome began unbuttoning her gown, Mitsuji leaned forward and began nursing.
By this time they had gotten back to their room for some privacy, after his feeding all of them would go down to the breakfast hall that was reserved for new mothers and their children, it was secluded from the regular hospital cafeteria for certain health reasons, then it was a lot quieter too. Mitsuji really had missed this, the milk was so refreshing so soothing he whimpered very much like a puppy when he needed to be switched. Kagome's mom and grandpa had come in to visit, they adored the baby as much as Inuyasha's mother had.
"Oh Kagome he looks just like you! He looks like you too Inuyasha, especially the ears!"
Inuyasha grunted a little when Kagome's mother mentioned his ears, but that ceased when he felt Kagome petting his ears a second later, even more embarrassing was that his mother was in the room and giggling, but then she pointed out,
"He's definitely like his father, if not more he feeds just like he did, always having that attitude that he wouldn't let go without a fight…"
"Okasan must we bring that up?"
"You were just so…"
"Cute!"
Everyone in the room say except grandpa and Sota, who had just arrived and pet the babies ears.
"Inuyasha can I pet your ears next?"
"NO!"
Inuyasha snapped the moment the question came out of his mouth.
"You let sis do it all the time!"
Sota whined.
"Why?"
"Because…uh…."
"Because he knows I'll put his life in misery if he doesn't!"
Inuyasha glared at her.
"Isn't that right my little inu-smochie poo!"
Kagome said while grabbing his cheek, then forcing his head to her level while rubbing her face against his. Inuyasha was blushing deeply.
Izayoi loved every minute of watching her son like that, Kagome's family was laughing it up. Until,
"Waaaaaahh ahh!"
'Thanks kid!'
"Shhh it's ok Mitsuji mommy's got you!"
"I think he's finished, come on Inuyasha let's go eat something."
"Ok baby."
"Well I guess we'd better be going, we have to open the shrine later for the tourists so we'll see you soon, bye dear!"
Mama gave Kagome and Inuyasha a kiss.
"Bye-bye mwah you little cutie!"
Mama cooed to Mitsuji.
"Bye my Inuyasha and bye my cute little grandson, look at you your as cute as your father was and still is, you've got his baby face!"
"Okasan!"
"Yes you do yes you do!"
Izayoi kissed all of them goodbye and left.
Inuyasha made Kagome get in the wheel chair again. Mitsuji laid silently in Kagome's lap while staring at her face Kagome looked at back at him smiling as usual, he liked exploring like this better with her, Inuyasha was pushing them.
Kagome ate light, Inuyasha on the other hand pigged out on pancakes hash browns, eggs, bacon and ham.
"Inuyasha be a gentlemen you're a doctor!"
Inuyasha looked up from her and frowned slightly.
"What do I care what these people think? So what if I'm a doctor I'm starving!"
"Inuyasha you just ate 3 rounds of pancakes 10 pieces of bacon and ham, then eggs to top that or and 4 hash browns! And your still hungry?"
"Better believe it wench!"
"Unbelievable! And don't call me wench!"
"Mitsuji when your old enough to eat solid foods, don't follow daddy's example k?"
Mitsuji gave a squeal in response
"My little Mitsuji!"
Kagome said while nuzzling his nose.
'I hope she doesn't turn him into some big softie!'
'He may be a slob sometimes but at least he's lovable and I won't love Mitsuji any less no matter who he resembles more in personality.'
All of a sudden several babies in the room began crying, soon it caused more to cry and pretty soon every baby in the room was crying, except one.
"Hmm I wonder what's wrong with all of them?"
"Keh! At least our baby knows when to be quiet and not cry himself senseless."
"Yes we have a very good baby!"
Kagome bent down and kissed Mitsuji, Inuyasha rubbed his ears and kissed his forehead.
'We're all going to have such a wonderful life together!'
A/N: Mitsuji is one of the main characters I'll say that much.
