Chapter 3

The family and Kagome's sorrow.

"Mother!!" Yelled Izayoi.

Kikyo turned and saw Izayoi and Inuyasha coming down the hill to the field

"Hello my dear. Did you give father a hard time?" Kikyo smiled and laughed a bit.

"Yeah as a matter of fact she did!" He said back with a snap.

Kikyo laughed and grabbed Izayoi and took her to see Motoko. "You two gather the rest. I have to talk to your father for a while. Will you two be alright?"

"You bet we will!" Said Izayoi.

"Don't worry about us." Said Motoko. Motoko was two years older than Izayoi. Kikyo named her and Inuyasha named Izayoi after his mother. Motoko wore black robes and always spoke in a calm voice. She was just like her mother while Izayoi had a loud voice and an attitude like her father and they had the same hair and eye color.

"Kikyo what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha do you like being a father?"

"What kind of question is that?! I love our daugthers and I love you! Of course I am happy to have become human. But don't forget that when I became human the Shikon Jewel gave me the power to become human and half-demon whenever I choose."

"That explains why his daughters had demon blood in them." Said Miroku.

"I sometimes wonder if I was ever truly ready to be a normal person." Kikyo said putting her head on his shoulders. I wonder if I would have any regrets to it."

"I know I didn't." Said Inuyasha embracing her. I have no problems because I can still protect you and our family but this is all I ever wanted: To be normal."

"But how can he say that to Kikyo when whenever we ask he said he only wanted to become a full-demon so he would not be a weak human?!" Asked Sango furiously.

"Sango can you not see it? Asked Miroku. Without Naraku or the jewel there was no reason to fight anymore and besides you know that this is all they wanted. They just wanted to be normal."

"But would Inuyasha do this for us if all this came to pass in our time?" Asked Kagome.

"I don't know." Miroku replied.

"How could I ever have been jealous of Kikyo knowing that they loved each other so much." Kagome thought. "I thought that I could help him and give him what Kikyo once gave him but it is clear that his heart will always belong to Kikyo. How could I be so stupid?!"

Meanwhile back with Kikyo and Inuyasha:

"Inuyasha I have some good news for you."

"What is it?" He asked back.

"I'm pregnant."

"Your what?!" He jumped up and screamed.

"SHE"S WHAT?!!" The others said copying him.

"I am six weeks in and I wanted to tell you but Kaede and I have been busy lately so I could not tell you."

"That is great news! I wonder if it is another girl or a boy?" Inuyasha asked.

"What names should we call it depending on what it is?" She asked him.

"I would like to name it Asura for a girl and Inutashio for a boy after my father if that is okay with you?" He asked.

"They are great names." She leaned in and kissed him.

"Can we go now?" Asked Sango.

"It is so sad that all this could have been theirs if Naraku had not interfered." Miroku said sighing.

"Please stop!" Kagome yelled.

"Kagome...?" Asked Shippo shocked.

"I can't take this anyone! I can't take knowing that Inuyasha would have been happy with Kikyo and that someone took it away from them! Please just can we go home! I want to leave!" She begged.

"Inuyasha let's go back to the girls now and see if everything's alright." Kikyo said looking at him.

"Alright I just hope that Izayoi is not bothering Motoko."

"She has her father in her that's for sure." Kikyo said laughing.

"Hey what that suppose to mean?!" Inuyasha yelled back." Anyway Kikyo you had best take it easy for a while if you are pregnant and let me do some more work around the village." Inuyasha said grabbing Kikyo's hand.

"I will be just fine. I can take care of myself." She said back.

As they went back to the field the girls were gone.

"Where did they go?" Asked Inuyasha.

"I don't know they should have stayed here or at least said where they were going. The little brats!" His voice raising.

"As they looked around they noticed a blue scarf lying on the floor.

"This is Izayoi's! She never went anywhere without it!" Said Inuyasha angrily.

"Calm down Inuyasha. Kikyo said trying to ease him. Go half-demon and find out who took them."

"Fine. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

As he screamed a pink light covered his body. His hair went white, his fangs and claws returned and his ears went dog. As Kagome and the others watched they were amazed.

"That was amazing!" Said Shippo opening his eyes.

"So was that the power the jewel gave him?" Asked Sango.

"I guess he was telling the truth about becoming half-demon and human at will." Miroku answered.

"I will be right back Kikyo!" Inuyasha ran through the fields to find his daughters. If only he knew who kidnapped them.
