Dreamstar13: hi guys. It's the night of the new moon (now hasshorter black hair, still chocolate brown eyes, no fangs or claws, and regular human ears) and I feel happy and sad. One, duh, it's the night of the new moon. All hanyous hate it. Two, because I have tests coming up. I'm happy because this is when I pick on Kaori the most.

Kaori: No you don't (she is now having the same length of black hair, human ears, no claws or fangs, and violet eyes).

Dreamstar13: Sit Girl. (Thud) Now then, I need the first review Kaori.

Kaori: Alrightalready, it'soverthereonthetable.

Dreamstar13: Can you get it?

Kaori: Ahem!

Dreamstar13: Well sorry. This is from Miss VamPyress from chapter 21. It reads:

Wow, this is an awsome story! I just read like all 21 chapters in a row, no-stop! Anyways, I read some of the reviews saying some people wanted a boy, and some a girl; so I'm glad you made twins. Oh, and, one question. What was up with Inu in the earlier chapters. I mean, it was funny, but also very weird/strange at the same time. Lol. Well, keep up the awsome work, and update soon!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it, and he was in fights with his demon side. Next review. This one is from kagome9854 from chapter 21. It reads:

Great chapter.I like that Kagomes having twins.I wonder what they will look like.I wonder what Inuyasha is getting Kagome for her birthday.Cant wait till next chapter.Please write soon.Bye.

You'll have to wait and see. I've been spelling Souta wrong for most of my chapters. I spelled it Sota instead of Souta. Please forgive me (I'm so emotional on these nights, I HATE IT!)..Now then, on with the Disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha but Kaori is... (Kaori glares)...my other half. That's it.


Chapter 22

A Gift For a Loved One

They felt the bluish light surrounded the couple as Inuyasha and Kagome went through the well. 'I think I'm feeling sick again.' Kagome thought. Inuyasha noticed Kagome had started turning green, so he picked her up and rushed her into the house so that she could hurl.

'She's so sick, I'm starting to come down with a stomach ache (meaning the awful scent of throw up).' Inuyasha thought while wrinkling his nose in disgust.

"Oka-san! I need to talk to you!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome continued feeling ill after being in the bathroom with her 2-month (4 month is what it apparently looked like) pregnant stomach. She walked over to Souta and watched him play games. (Souta should be 13 right now. Souta and Kagome have an age difference of about 7 years. And when Kagome was 18, Souta was 11. So, two years later, Kagome is 20 and Souta is 13. Does it make sense?)

"How are you feeling Kagome?" asked Souta. After going through life science, Sota knew what Kagome was going through. Strange, but yes, he knew.

"I'm fine, but I could be better." Kagome answered weakly. 'Being pregnant must really take a lot out of sis.' Sota thought.

"I'm going out!" came the sound of Inuyasha's voice. Inuyasha was sporting a pair of jeans, a red shirt, and a red cap.

"Where are you going?" Kagome questioned.

"You'll see, later." Inuyasha answered before dashing out of there, quick. Souta already knew what Inuyasha was doing. He also knew what Kagome was going to do before she put on her coat.

"Here sis. Let me come with you." Sota offered. 'I got to get Inuyasha some time. After all, he is my idol and my older brother.'

"Thanks Souta." Kagome said as she walked out the door and getting into spy formation. 'This is going to be harder than I thought.' Souta thought as he picked up his cell and instant messaged the 'extra cell' that was with Inuyasha.

Back with Inuyasha…

'Instant message sound (ringing twice)' Inuyasha checks the 'extra cell' and finds a message from Souta. (Note: These IM names are fake. They are not real.)

'S. Higurashi Demon-Slayer: Inuyasha, Kagome is following, what should I do?'

'Hanyou/Miko: Kagome and I are connected. Tell her she shouldn't be out in her condition and I'll back you up.'

'S. Higurashi Demon-Slayer: If you say so.'

Back with Sotua and Kagome…

"Hey Kagome, you don't look so well. Why don't we go home?" Sota asked.

"But, I feel fine…" Kagome answered.

With Inuyasha…

'I'm sorry I have to do this Kagome…'Inuyasha thought, closing his eyes. He concentrates his energy, then opens it and says, "Crash!"

Back with Kagome…

"Uh!" Kagome is now holding her head. 'I feel dizzy.' "You're right Souta, I don't feel okay. I probably do need to go home."

"Okay!" Souta says with a smile. 'Whoa! How did Inuyasha do that? I'll have to ask him later.' Sota thought (you guys will find out in later chapters about this). Kagome and Sota slowly went back home. Kagome laid down on the couch as she slept through Souta playing (A/N: I don't own this) FFX.

"Where am I?" Kagome asked herself as she looked at the dark room she was standing in.

"Ha ha!" shouted some kids in the distance. They were kicking and throwing rocks at a little hanyou.

"Stop it!" shouted the little hanyou. He was wearing a red kimono and had two cute little dog-ears perched on his head.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said in complete shock. Inu (nickname from a previous chapter) looked up at Kagome and ran towards her.

"AHH! A demon!" the kids ran for their lives when they saw Kagome (if you've forgotten, she's hanyou from the backfired wish. If not, that's good). She nearly forgotten she was hanyou, but shrunk down to Inu's size and spoke to him.

"Are you all right?" she asked. He sniffed after crying and nodded. "Where's your mother?"

"She's gone." Inu said quietly.

"Oh." Kagome said. She picked him up and calmed him down as she continued walking in the darkness of the area. 'Why am I thinking about this?' Kagome thought.

Back with Inuyasha…

Inuyasha gasped as a memory went through his head.

Flashback…

"Hey, can I play?" asked a younger version of Inuyasha.

"No. We don't play with filthy hanyous." the children spat those last horrible words out of their mouth.

"I am not filthy!" Inuyasha yelled. The children started kicking him and throwing rocks at him.

"Stop it! Get the he- - off me!" Inuyasha yelled (I don't know if he cussed when he was little. Don't get mad if you think he didn't). He kicked them off and they were sent rolling across the grass. He ran as far as he could from the now pissed off village children.

End of Flashback…

'Why was I remembering that?' Inuyasha thought. He shook the thought off and continued on towards the store.

Back with Kagome and Inu…

"So Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked.

"I'm traveling now so I won't get killed by humans and other demons. This was after my mother died," he quietly said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." she said. He cuddled up in her arms and she held him close. 'Am I seeing a memory of Inuyasha's?'

Back with Inuyasha…

"Where the he- - is it?" Inuyasha asked himself after walking for about an hour. He went to an alleyway and jumped on skyscrapers looking down on the stores until he finally found it. He landed in the alleyway next to it and walked in.

"Hi, I'm here to pick up a gift for my wife." Inuyasha said, remembering what Mrs. Higurashi told him.

"What's your name?" asked the man.

"Inuyasha Taisho."

"Oh, I have it, it's right here."

"Thank you." Inuyasha said politely.

Back with Kagome…

"Inuyasha! Where are you?" Kagome yelled.

"I'm over here, Kags!" he yelled.

"Don't call me that." Kagome said with a smile.

"But I can't say your name. Kagoma." Inu said with a frown.

"That was close. It is Kagome," she laughed. They both laughed as they continued walking.

"Don't ever leave me Kagoma." Inu said as he cuddled close to her.

"I won't. But, when are you going to turn back?" Kagome asked.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I'm mated with you… but you are older." she explained. He looked confused at this. 'I… mated? How could I have? I'm still only 70 (that sounds weird, but he's actually 7 in demon years. The age you are now divided by 10 is what you will be). Mother may not be happy if she found out about this. Mother, I didn't know that I did it. Please forgive me.' he thought looking up to the heavens.

'He must not believe me.' Kagome thought. She looked at the locket she received from Inuyasha on her 16th birthday and got an idea.

"Here. Have this locket." Kagome said offering him the locket.

"Wow! It's shiny!" he said grasping it. "Thank you. This is the first gift I ever got that wasn't from my mother."

"Your first? Then this is your lucky day," she said giving him a kiss on the cheek. He blushed as light surrounded him, revealing an older Inuyasha.

"Kagome, I'm coming back soon. Wait for me." He said giving her a kiss on the lips as he disappeared.

"I'll wait for you, Inuyasha."

Back with Inuyasha…

'There, I told Kagome I'm coming back. All she has to do is wait two more days for her present.' Inuyasha thought as he leapt across town back home. 'Not only is this her birthday present, it is also her present for our anniversary of the day we first met present.'

He continued on home, excited on what Kagome's reaction will be.
