Chapter 13- Surprises
After getting home at midnight, Kagome made sure that she didn't wake anyone in the house. She knew that her new look would probably freak her mother, grandfather and brother out but she didn't care. She didn't even need a sweater to go out anymore because her body kept adjusting to the weather so that she wouldn't get sick. 'I hope mom is ok with all this…I know she isn't going to be happy with the me dropping out of medical school part.' Kagome thought as she began to put all of her new clothing into her closet and all of her old clothing into a huge black bag.
Once she was done with her closet Kagome changed into her new pajamas and claimed into bed. She knew that she would have to explain everything to her mother but she didn't care. She would be and act the way she wanted. That night Kagome fell asleep and for the first time in a long time she was able to have a dream filled nigh with happiness and nothing more.
Meanwhile, Haku and Emeri were both sleeping in bed and knew that they would have to be well rested if they wanted to attend the family Christmas part. Emeri had hissed and growled at her father and mother until she had been allowed to go. It was the morning of the Christmas ball and everyone knew that they had to get ready and get dressed before all of their guest arrived. Emeri had just claimed out of bed and knew that she would have to go to the bath room, take a bath, eat, take another bath, get her hair and makeup done, and get dressed before the party.
"Um…why are you up so early?" Haku growled as he turned to see his mate trying to get out of bed.
"I'm hungry, I have to go to the bath room and I need to start getting ready if I don't want to be late for the party." She growled. "So help me out of bed now."
"I'm coming…you really shouldn't be up this early…your due in a week." Haku replied as he began to worry for the safety of his mate and pups.
"You're starting to sound like my father. Would you please just let me be and help me the fuck out of this bed before I claw your eyes out." Emeri stated in an innocent voice.
"Alright already…I'm going." He growled back.
Once she was safely out of bed Emeri had her mate gather her things to take a shower while she went to use the bath room. Once she had taken a much need bath she got dressed and joined her family down stairs for breakfast. Once she was seated she heard her father ask, "Do you still plan on attending the party?"
"Yes, now would you stop asking me that. My pups are not due for another week and I want to have some fun. I hate the fact that you and Haku are treating like some fragile little girl." Emeri growled as she began to eat her meal.
"Sesshomaru dear, you should really eat your breakfast…it's starting to get cold." Rin's innocent voice was heard as she kept her cold stare locked on him.
"Otu…when will our other aunt be joining us in the house?" his youngest son asked. Sesshomaru's and Rin's youngest son was the same age as Sota but he attend an all demon school.
"Kira dear…you will just have to wait to meet her. I'm so sorry that you didn't meet her the last time but the test you had to take was a very important one." Rin answered as she turned to face her son.
"Don't worry dude…As soon as she gets here I'll grab her and bring her to you." His older sister stated.
"Really? Thanks Sora." Kira stated happily before he continued to eat.
"You'll have to get past uncle first." Sesshomaru's oldest daughter stated.
"Misa…" Sesshomaru growled in a warning tone.
"Well as much fun as this is…I have to go and get ready." Emeri stated as she began to get up.
"You're not going anywhere until I've finished talking." Inuyasha's serious voice was heard.
However, Inuyasha's sudden entrance had surprised Emeri so much so that she had managed to force herself to stand up on her own as her water broke. All eyes turned to Emeri as she looked over to her mate to say; "Uh…I guess the pups want to be here for the party to." before she fell to her knees in pain as he first con hit her.
"Shit…I didn't mean to do that." Inuyasha growled as he quickly helped Haku hold up his mate.
"It's alright Inuyasha…she was going to break her water at the party." Sesshomaru was heard as he opened his phone and dialed Shippo's number.
"We'll meet you at the clinic." Haku growled as his instincts began to kick in.
"Inuyasha…"Ring began.
"I'll go with them." He answered before she could even ask. 'So much for seeing her again.' He thought sadly.
Meanwhile Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the faces her family was giving her. 'They're looking at me as if I'm not me…I guess they're going to take it harder than I thought.' Kagome thought as she tried to stop laughing. But as soon as she heard her mothers stern voice say, "Kagome Higurashi what have you done."
"You're in trouble sis. But I like the look." Sota was heard.
"She will dishonor our family." She heard her grandfather whisper.
"Ok, one I am the guarding of the Shikon jewel so there is no way I can dishonor this family. Secondly I thought it was time for a change. I mean like my new look…don't you?" Kagome answered as she showed off what she was wearing. Kagome was currently wearing a blood red shirt that had black skull in the front with a snake surrounding it. She was also wearing a pair of black baggy pants with sliver chains to bring out her craves and shirt.
"Kagome dear, you do look amazing however why didn't you want us to see you until now?" her mother replied.
"I needed to wash my hair so that my hair color would be more noticeable." Kagome answered.
"Well, let's all sit down and eat. I just hope these are the only changes you are going to go through." Her mother stated as she began to walk back into the kitchen.
"Well, there is one more thing." Kagome was heard.
"If you got something pierced then I want one two." Sota was heard as he ran to sit down in his usual seat for breakfast.
"What would that be?" Ms. Higurashi asked as she began to take her seat.
Once Kagome saw that her mother was seated and could not floor of her chair, Kagome took in a deep breath and said, "After I help believer Emeri's pup's I'm going to drop out of medical school and look after the shrine."
"Wow." Sota said as he held his stared at his sister in surprise. 'She's always wanted to be a doctor? Why did she change her mind.' He thought.
But before her mother could say anything the phone rang and Kagome quickly ran to get it. Once she was sure that her mother wasn't going to yell at her until after she took the phone call, Kagome picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Higurashi residents."
"Kagome…I need you to get to the clinic, Emeri has just checked in. She is having her pups early." Yume's voice was heard.
"I understand. I'll be there immediately." Kagome said.
"Kagome please hurry…the other miko's have told me that there is something strange about her aura." Yume added.
"Ok…I'm on my way." Kagome said before she hung up and reached for her keys.
"Kagome?" her mother asked in a worried voice.
"I have to go…there is an emergency at the clinic." Was all Kagome said before she ran out of the door. 'Please…let Emeri and her pups be alright.' She thought as she ran down the shrine stairs before speeding to the clinic.
Just as Ms. Higurashi was about to run after her daughter the phone once again rang. Only this time she was surprised at the voice she heard on the other line. "Shippo…dear what's wrong?"
"The party is canceled…Emeri just went into labor and all of the family is on their way to the clinic…do you need a ride to the clinic." Shippo answered.
"Yes, we'll be ready by the time you get here." Ms. Higurashi answered before she hung up. Once she hung up she turned to her father and to her son and said, "Go and get dressed, Emeri just went into labor. Shippo is on his way to come pick us up."
"Isn't she early." Sota said.
"Yes, just go and get ready." She hissed as she began to clean up before she would go and get changed.
Meanwhile Kagome ran into the clinic as she made her way to her locker. Once she was sure that she was alone in the women's changing room, Kagome quickly changed and ran out to go to Yume's office. She could feel a familiar aura in the clinic but she had no time to try to figure out who it was. As soon as she ran in she would a very calm Sesshomaru, a depressed Haku and a crying Rin. "What's going on? Where's Emeri?" Kagome asked as she quickly caught her breath.
"She is resting…Kagome one of the pups was a steal born." Yume answered.
"No…no…but that mean that…damn it." Kagome hissed as she quickly began to build up her miko energy without anyone noticing.
"Kagome, you know what we have to do." Yume stated as she stood up.
"What do you need to do?" Sesshomaru asked.
"We have to do a C section…just give me five minutes." Kagome stated before she left the room.
"No, Kagome!" Rin yelled as she realized what she was going to do.
"Oka?" Haku asked.
"I suggest you stay here…I have no idea if she will be able to keep control over the amount of energy she is about to use." Yume advised before she too walked out.
Kagome ran into Emeri's room and made sure that she was the only one there before she turned and placed a seal on the door. Emeri looked up with a tear stained face and said, "Kagome…I guess it didn't work."
"Don't worry…I need you to try to bare with the pain…it will only take me a couple of minutes." Kagome stated as she placed her hands on her niece.
Before Emeri could even try to stop her, she was forced into a deep sleep while Kagome to surround both Emeri and her pup in pure, healing energy. 'I have to save them…I have to make sure they at least have one pup to care for.' She thought sadly as she began to use up all of her miko energy. Once she had a heart beat Kagome knew what she had to do next. Next she would have to deliver the child and make sure that Emeri would quickly hold it and feed it before it give up.
"Emeri…Emeri…wake up." Kagome called to gently as she kept all of her miko around the two.
"Um…Kagome…Kagome…what's going on? Where's Haku?"
"Emeri I need you to push…just one big push." Kagome answered.
"Haku should be here." She replied as she began to feel a sharp pain.
"He will be…but right now if you don't push you will lose your pup." Kagome said. 'I just need her to push once and I can use the water within her body to help the pup out.' She thought.
"Kagome…what if…what if my pup isn't breath? What if he browned in the fluids like her brother?" Emeri asked in both a pain and scared filled voice.
"She won't…you will have a beautiful baby girl to look after but I need you to push…if not for you than for her." Kagome said as she began to bend the water to her will.
"What the hell is going on? Why can't we see her or the pup yet?" Inuyasha growled.
"Inuyasha…the doctor is safely delivering the baby…you cannot force these things to hurry up." Miroku told his friend.
"That wench better know what she is doing." Inuyasha growled.
"The wench that is with my daughter is Kagome." Sesshomaru's cold voice was heard. "So I suggest you keep your mouth shut brother."
"Rin…Rin what happened? How's Emeri?" Sango asked as she began to panic from her dried tears.
"She lost one…she lost a pup." Rin said as she turned to be held by her mate.
"Father?" Kira asked.
"Kira…take your mother and get her something to drink." Sesshomaru ordered as he handed his mate over to his son. "Take Misa with you."
"Yes father…Oka…it's ok…everything is going to be ok." Kira said as he tried to get his mother to feel better.
Meanwhile, Shippo, Sota, Ms. Higurashi and her father all ran into the clinic to find Haku, Sesshomaru and the rest of their family in the waiting room. Rin looked as if she had been crying as she was being held by her son and daughter. But before Shippo could get to her or before he could say anything he heard Sota's soft whisper, 'No…he…he's here…that bastard is here?!'
