Chapter 10- He's real
Soon the rest of the month flew by and Kagome now found herself looking for gifts for her family. She had a long list and knew that she would have to manage her money so that she would be able to get everyone a gift. After cutting off her cell phone and after getting an extra job, Kagome now had enough money for everyone's gift and for the car payments she need to catch up on. 'Uh…I'm glad that that is done and over with.' She thought as she walked into her house with all the gifts in hand. 'I just hope that I don't get sick. I felt as if it was warmer than what they said it would be…it even started snowing…I hope mom doesn't get me.' She thought. After making sure that they were all well hidden in her room, Kagome walked back down stairs only to see her mother on the phone.
"Oh, course we would love to go…yes, I'll let her know…now don't worry. Alright dear…we'll see you than. Bye." Ms. Higurashi was heard as began she hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Kagome asked as she sat down. 'It's a good thing she was on the phone…she didn't see me walk in without a sweater on.' She thought happily. Kagome had been able to walk around in the snow without getting cold what so ever. It was as if her body had easily changed to match that of the weather.
"That was Shippo, they're going to have a big Christmas party and we were invited." She answered.
"Well…than I will have to go and find our families old kimono's." gramps was heard.
"OH, well I better start wrapping the gifts." Kagome replied as she stood up and began to look for the wrapping paper and type.
"Kagome, did you really get a gift for everyone?" Sota asked.
"Yeah, I got yours too so don't worry. I'll be up in my room wrapping present so you better knock." Kagome said before she left.
"I'll call you when diner is ready." Her mother was heard.
"K…" Kagome called back.
Once in her room Kagome began to wrap her presents. She had already started her rounds again and knew that she had a lot of catching up to do. She got in at five in the afternoon and didn't finish her rounds until two the next day. She knew that she would have less time with her family once the holidays were done and over with but that didn't mean that she wouldn't try to see them as much as she could. Just as she Kagome was about to finish wrapping the last present, Kagome was called down to dinner.
"Hey sis…did you get me one or more than one?" Sota asked.
"Sota…Kagome dear you didn't have to get me anything. I know that you need to get everyone from your family." Ms. Higurashi said.
"I wanted to, anyway I get need to go to the clinic in about two hours so once I'm done I'm going to finish wrapping presents and leave." Kagome said as she picked up her chopsticks.
"You've been working a lot…are you missing some gifts?" her grandfather asked.
"No, I have everyone already…I just need to make up the hours I lost at the clinic." Kagome answered.
"What time are you going to get home? We need to fit you into the kimono your grandfather found." Her mother replied.
"I'll be home by two in the afternoon tomorrow but I have training at three to eight." Kagome answered.
"Are you almost done with your training?" Sota asked.
"Yeah, I just need to finish learning the right chants for some protection and counter curses." Kagome answered.
"Oh my." Her mother said.
"Kagome, you must be the keeper of the shrine…you are the next in line." Her grandfather told her.
"Yeah I know…" Kagome replied.
The rest of the meal had been in silence. Kagome had finished quickly and ran back up stairs to her room to finish. Once she was done, Kagome changed into her scrubs and left to do her rounds. Once at the clinic Kagome found a very worried Yume in her office. Kagome quickly closed the door behind her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It is Takahashi, Emeri. She called me this morning telling me that she began to fill pain in her lower stomach…I have no idea if I should check her in now or if I should just wait until she goes into labor." Yume answered truthfully.
"Has a nurse been sent to her house to see how serious it is?" Kagome replied.
"No."
"I'll go and check. If she needs to be checked in than I shall give you a call so that a room and be prepared for her." Kagome stated as she walked over to the door.
"Kagome, I know that you don't want her to get hurt but do know what her pains mean." Yume stated.
"I know…but I also know that there is a way to stop it from happening. I have to go and see her." Kagome said.
"I'll state that your rounds were finished at the full time. Go, however once you've done what I know you will do, go home and get some rest." Yume stated. 'She is the first miko that I know of that can heal demons.' She though.
"I understand." Kagome answered before she ran out of the office and to her car.
Once in her car Kagome pulled out her cell phone only to remember that it was no longer connected. After stopping at a gas station, Kagome dialed Sesshomaru's number and waited for him to pick up. 'Please pick up…I need to know where she is or if she is even resting.' She thought.
Meanwhile Sesshomaru had just gotten out of a meeting only to have his cell phone go off. He could tell that it was a pay phone but if the person knew his number that it must have been important. He quickly picked up and said, "This is Sesshomaru, now state your name."
"Sesshomaru…it's Kagome, listen I need to know if Emeri is at home."
"Why…she is not due for another few weeks." Sesshomaru stated already starting to get worried.
"She called Yume this morning stating that she had some sharp pains in her lower stomach. I need to see her." Kagome answered.
"Why did she not tell her mate or this Sesshomaru?"
"I don't know but I need to find her. I need to make sure that she is alright." Kagome answered as she began to panic.
"What aren't you telling me miko?" Sesshomaru growled as he walked into his office to find his brother waiting for him.
"Sesshomaru…if I don't heal her soon there is a chance that she could lose one of her pups…please I need to get to her." Kagome answered.
"She is at home in bed. I shall meet you at my house now go." He growled before he hung up on her.
"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked in a worried voice.
"We have to get home. I will need your help in controlling Haku." Sesshomaru answered as he began to hell ass out of the building.
Without another word Inuyasha followed his brother and the two quickly made their way back to the house. Inuyasha knew that there was something wrong with someone in the family and that they need to get home now. As soon as they arrived they began to here crashes coming from the house. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha ran into the house only to find Haku transforming and a very worried Emeri sitting on the couch with her hands on her stomach. Without a second thought Sesshomaru and Inuyasha jumped the uncontrollable demon.
"Haku!" Emeri yelled.
"It's ok Emeri…they're just going to calm him down. Emeri I need you to stay calm." Kagome answered as she ignored the wound on her side.
"But…he's getting hurt…they're hurting him." Emeri said as she began to cry.
"Please just stay calm…you have to stay calm for the safety of your pups." Kagome told her.
As soon as those words left her lips Emeri turned away from her father and uncle fighting to control her mate and closed her eyes. She didn't want to see her mate get hurt but most of all she wanted her pups to be safe. Just as she was about to open her eyes again she felt a sudden warmth surround her. It was keeping her calm and it was healing her in some way. "What…what are you doing?" she asked as she kept her eyes closed.
"Just stay calm…I'm almost done." Kagome answered. 'I have to finish this…I can just wrap my wound…if I don't do this than she can lose a pup or maybe even both.' She thought as she put all of her energy into healing her. Kagome already had a wound on her left side and knew that she didn't finish quickly that she would pass out from blood loss.
"Let me go! That bitch is touching my mate!" Haku roared as he tried to get Sesshomaru and Inuyasha off of him.
"Haku you will listen to this alpha! The miko is healing your mate!" Sesshomaru growled as he tried to hold back the uncontrollable demon. 'I would be doing the same thing…should I have not trusted my brother's miko.' He thought.
"She is trying to help her." Inuyasha added.
"I said let go!" Haku roared before he broke free.
"Haku!" Sesshomaru roared.
"Damn it." Inuyasha growled as the two tried to stop him.
However they were too late. Kagome had just finished healing her and knew that she would now have the energy and strength to face her mate. However just as she opened her eyes, Kagome felt a sharp pain on her right side. As she turned she came face to face with an enraged Haku. "How dare you touch my mate." He growled.
"Haku…let…me go." Kagome ordered before she pasted out.
But just as Haku was about to throw her against the wall, he was thrown back by the sudden burst of energy that she gave off. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Emeri all watched as the jewel returned to its former pink color as it placed Kagome in a very protective barrier. As she began to lose sight of what was in front of her, Kagome opened her eyes only to come face to face with the one person she had never dreamed of seeing again. Despite her heart ache, Kagome couldn't help but smile as she said, "I'm glad you got reincarnated." before she passed out.
"Kagome…damn it Haku!" Inuyasha roared as he turned around to grab his nephew by the throat.
"Uncle no!" Emeri cried.
"Inuyasha put him down." Sesshomaru growled as he walked over to pick up the sleeping girl.
"He hurt her…he hurt Kagome." Inuyasha growled as his eyes began to flash between red and gold.
"Put him down and come help me clean her wounds. For now she see's you a reincarnation so you should be able to hold her now." Sesshomaru growled as he handed Kagome over to Inuyasha.
"Haku…Haku." Emeri called.
"Haku, you will later apologize to your uncle and your aunt for your actions. Now go to your mate." Sesshomaru ordered as he pulled out his cell phone.
"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked as he began to clean her wounds. Haku had given her three deep slashes on her right side and a single, deep wound on her left; along with some minor bruises and cuts.
"I'm going to call Sango and Miroku to come and pick her up." Sesshomaru answered.
"Why can't she stay here? I don't care if she thinks that I'm some stupid reincarnation…I want her with me." Inuyasha growled.
"You now that isn't the way it works…look at the jewel…the moment it is completely white again you will be thrown away from her." Sesshomaru stated as he tried to reason with his brother.
"Damn it…I finally get to hold her and it's only because I couldn't protect her." Inuyasha growled as he carefully laid her on the floor and left.
"Uncle." Emeri whispered.
"I'll be in the dojo with Tetsusiga." Inuyasha growled as he began to walk away. He knew if he stayed any longer that he would want to stay with her and hold her until she would wake up. 'Kagome…why can't I hold you…I've already regretted everything I told you…I even regret going to Kikiyo…why won't you let me hold you?' he thought sadly as he tried to ignore the pain in his hurt.
After making sure that Sango and Miroku were on their way, Sesshomaru turned to his daughter and growled at her until she had submitted. Once she had done so, he had Haku take her to her room and made sure that everything she wanted would be sent to her room. Once he was sure that his daughter would be alright, Sesshomaru turned his attention to the sleeping miko. That's when he noticed something. Her wounds were slowly healing; as the jewel got brighter, her wounds began to disappear. 'Has she become a miko master? I must ask the slayer when she arrives.' Sesshomaru thought as she slowly picked her up so that he would be able to help Sango place her in the car while Miroku would start and take her car over to Sango's house.
A/N: Well…there you have it. The meeting you have all been waiting for. Don't worry because in the next chapter is a chapter that you will all like. But I'm not going to post it until I have at least three more reviews.
