After the night before Kagome and Kouga were a little bit closer you could say. They just kept smiling ad they would walk together hand in hand not daring to say a word. It would ruin the silence. DUH! So what the two did the night before was a little crazy for two wolf demons but neither of them regretted what happened. Kouga was walking with the now better Kagome down the mountain to the main den where they would say their goodbyes. It was the last day of the family reunion and it was time to go home. Even though Kagome had enjoyed the reunion so much she missed her friends and wanted to see everyone soon. Kouga on the other hand didn't want to leave. He loved his friends but as soon as the two were around other demons they would smell what happened before. And Kouga didn't want anyone to treat Kagome differently because of it. He also knew that people would be somewhat intimidated by the new female wolf demon. Kouga was in deep thought and looked up to see a very quiet Kagome looking over at him with a worried look on her face.
"Kouga what's wrong why are you just staring off into space like that. Is something troubling you?"
Kouga took her hand and put his arm around her shoulder bringing her closer to his body. He kissed her head and growled leaning down to her neck sniffing with delight letting her smell drown him. Just like Kagome a "ting" went off inside off him and he could feel Kagome moving around in his arm. The throbbing in his head that came with the "ting" stopped and he looked down.
"Kouga I asked you a question. What's wrong?"
Kouga sighed and took a deep breath.
"Kagome I was just thinking."
"Thinking about what Kouga?"
"I was thinking about how you will be treated differently since you became a demon. And how the other demons can smell things. The will be able to smell what uh..happened last night."
Kagome smiled and put a hand around Kouga's waist and kept walking. The den was now in sight. But then Kagome stopped.
"Kouga you don't have to worry about that. I don't care about what other people think about me. Remember I'm a tough girl. And plus I am not ashamed about anything that I have done and I never will be. That's not gonna change. So you have nothing to be worried about."
Kouga picked up Kagome bridal style and kissed her with a smile.
"Sorry Kagome I forgot. But no matter what I will always worry about you and what you do and what happens to you. It's just how I am. And sorry toots but that's not gonna change either. Soo get used to it."
Kagome giggled as they entered the cave and hopped out of his arms to greet one of the actual wolves who she had grown very fond of. His name was Hino and he loved just to be held and pet on the belly. Kouga laughed and walked over to his mother and gave her a hug and his father a handshake. Kagome put down the wolf and gave Karo and Haro a hug and then called for her new brother in laws.
"GINTA, HAKAKKU! COME ON WE ARE LEAVING NOW. HURRY UP!"
The 2 came running from the back of the cave and smiled at Kagome. The stopped in front of her breathing heavily and taking in big whiffs of air. Then they stopped on a dime when something reached their nose. The look on their faces were priceless and the put on a cocky smile. They looked at each other.
"Kagome did uh something happen while you two were gone? Like um together?"
Kagome giggled and looked over to Kouga.
"Why yes it did. And if you two have something to say about it then you can say it because I don't care."
Ginta laughed and slapped his knee.
"WHAHAHA…Kagome us wolf demos don't look at it like that. We think having a new child is a wonderful experience. It's a thing about new life and stuff. I won't go into details though."
Kagome looked to Hakakku and he nodded his head.
"But Ginta I never said I was pregnant."
GInta rolled his eyes and slapped Kouga when he came over.
"DUDE!! You didn't tell her about what happens when you guys mate. Wow you are an idiot!!"
Kouga gave him an "I'll kill you if you ever do that again" look. And shook his head and punched Ginta upside the head.
"No I didn't get a chance to yet. It just happened weirdo. Now I was planning to after we got home but you guys are in such a hurry so I guess I will now. SO SHUUT UUUUP!"
Ginta and Hakakku backed away slowly until they were far enough back to feel save and then Kouga took a deep breath.
"Okay Kagome since the two morons had to bring it up I will tell you now what happens when you mate rather than waiting until we got home."
Kagome nodded with an unsure look of what was going on then quickly glanced over to her smiling brothers.
"When to wolf demons mate it isn't like regular mating. While in human and other demon mating you might have to try more than once to get pregnant. Buuut with wolf demon mating you don't have to try more than once. It happens instantly. So as we speak our child is growing inside of you. And I t will oly take 3 weeks for it to be born. Not 9 or more months like usual. Plus it will be really small so it wont be noticeable that you are pregnant. The pup will do most of its growing after it is born in the nest week or so. It's weird but it's also real. I know that it is scary to hear this and I should have told you before but I didn't think about it. I'm sorry."
Kagome looked at Kouga with tears in her eyes and a hand on her chest. Her voice started to crack.
"Kouga you are right you should have told me. Why didn't you. Now I have to birth our child and don't even have a say about it. I haven't even graduated from high school yet and I have a baby. I can't believe this."
Kouga reached out his hand to put it on her shoulder but stopped when Kagome flinched. And then she turned around and ran out of the den without a word. Kouga blamed himself for what happened and had no idea what he was going to do.
"K-K-Kagome please."
This was the only thing that was heard in the cave and he walked out with only 8 words.
"Bye take the car I'll be home soon."
And then Kouga was gone without another sound. He ran and ran. He didn't care where he just kept going until he was in the field of flowers that both Kagome and Kouga both grew to love as their own. He fell to his knees and pounded the ground. And scream out in anger at himself and at his actions. His tears gushed and his hands bled with crimson water. And then all was quiet. He curled up into a ball and cried quietly to his self. He had never cried like this in his life and he didn't know why Kagome had left him. He knew that Kagome loved and still does love him but he doesn't know if she can deal with the pressure of what he had put upon her. He was dead to the world without the one he loved and he didn't see, hear, or feel anything. The sun had no shine. The wind had no push. The flowers had no color. He stayed like this for what seems like days and there was nothing until a small crackling voice broke through the deadness f his blank thoughts. He knew the voice as his one true love and the only one he wanted to see.
"Kouga? Kouga? Where are you it's Kagome. Please answer me. I can smell you but your scent is everywhere here. I can't pinpoint you."
Kouga's ears perked up a little and his tail twitched hearing her voice saying his name.
"Kagome is that really you love?"
The voice was deep and husky but quiet and small. He was barely heard but then Kagome's ear pointed in the direction of where the wolf demon was lying curled up into a muscular ball. She could smell fresh tears and could sense his sadness. This made her hopeful spirit dim and her arms swayed at her hips as she slowly approached Kouga. And then there he was at her small feet. She plopped down and picked up her mates almost lifeless body. Her tears flowed like Niagara Falls and he words could oly be heard between gasps.
"HUUUUH..KOUGA…UH I' SOOO HAA SORRY! I WAS JUST…. HUUH SCARED. BUT THEN…. HAH I REALIZED THAT I SHOULDN'T BE BECAUSE I'M…. WITH.. YOU!!"
Kouga's blue eyes regained their shine and his tail's fur fluffed back up. His life became just as before. And the world didn't seem so boring, plain, and lifeless. He felt like he had a reason for life now. And he felt happy. He collapsed into Kagome's arms and balled with tears of joy. Kagome was surprised by this but took it as a good sign and just rocked his cold body until she sensed no more sadness and heard no more cries. And then Kouga looked up he saw only beauty and happiness.
"Kagome I am so sorry for what I did. I should have told you and I shouldn't have even done that. I forgot that we still have two weeks of school left. I forgot that you are only 18 and I feel so awful. I realized that you are my life though. When you left I was practically lifeless. There was no sun or flowers. Just darkness and hate. You are everything to me and I don't want that to change. And just because we are having a child doesn't mean that that will ever change. Kagome I love you."
Kagome giggled and hugged the wolf demon and stood up holding out her hand.
"Come on Kouga we have a child to prepare for. I guess I'm movin in with you guys."
Kouga got up with the help of Kagome and took her hand and kissed it gently licking the salt from her tears from her small fragile fingers. And then picked her up running in his fastest tornado ever towards the white house that they knew had their cloths inside. While running Kagome thought of possible names for their children. She thought that she would name the boy ad Kouga could name the girl. It just seemed more romantic if they did the opposite sexes. And then a name stuck in her mind.
"Kouga I was thinking about names and I thought about one for a boy."
Kouga nodded and kept running full speed.
"Well I was thinking that I would name the boy and you could name the girl. You know so we will have a name already picked out so we can name it right then. But I choose Inuyasha."
Kouga cocked an eyebrow and slowed a little turning his head to her but still dodging the tree's and rocks ahead.
"Kagome I like it I really do but why did you pick that name?"
Kagome thought but had no other answer than one.
"I guess it just seems to stick in my mind. Like it is meant to be. Plus Inuyasha means a lot to both you and me. He is one of our closest friends and I think it befits our baby."
Kouga smiled and sped back up thinking about her words. They were true and he agreed with her.
"But Kagome what about a middle name?"
She giggled and then patted his head and whispered in his ear letting her breath linger there for a minute.
"Well I was thinking about Kouga it only fits the hair to our throne. Don't you think?"
Kouga laughed and stopped in front of the white house that they had visited only 4 days before. He picked her up and spun her around.
"Of course my queen. But what of a girl name?"
Kagome burrowed her brow.
"What am I the only one who has the answers around here? You have to come up with I just like I said BUCKO!"
Kouga stepped into the house and threw her a bag with her normal street clothes in it and then ran upstairs.
"Sorry Kagome I forgot. I just don't know what I would name a girl. I'm a guy remember?"
Kagome huffed.
"Oh of course I remember. I am your mate dummy! But it's your problem now I already came up with one name. now hurry up I'm already done getting dressed. You take longer than a girl I swear."
Kouga's laughter echoed through the house and he ran down stairs out the door picked up Kagome and raced through the open field within 5 seconds. He was faster than his car as Kagome could see because they quickly caught up to it within 5 minutes. And nearly cut their time in half upon returning to their town and Kouga's house. The lights were off and the door was locked just as Kouga left it and he expected to see everything the way it was and the house empty. But of course there they were standing in the dark waiting for their arrival. And as soon as the door opened the two demons ears were ringing.
"SURPRISE!!"
Kouga almost went postal on the group and growled with a deep anger. But it was soothed buy Kagome rubbing tiny circles onto his tightened back muscles. The two girls surrounded Kagome and Miroku and Sess attacked Kouga. Rin and Sango sang out.
"Oh Kagome we missed you don't ever leave again. It was sooooooo lonely!!"
Kagome laughed and then the two groups switched Sess and Miroku came to Kagome and Rin and Sango went to Kouga and they said the same thing. But Kagome was surprised to see Sess actually smiling. And then he hugged her. She expected it to be cold and plain but it was warm and inviting."
"Welcome back you two we all missed you."
Miroku said these words just as a familiar half demon stepped through the door with a bouquet of roses in his hand.
"Hey Inuyasha miss me much?"
Kagome ran to him and gave him a warm hug making him blush crimson but he managed to hide it with the flowers.
"Here Kagome I got these for you since you were coming back and all. And yes I did miss you. I realized how stupid he others can be. Don't ever leave me again without planning ahead cuz they were a train wreck. They were all like "What are we gonna do. I'm so bored. BLAH BLAH BLAH" It was so bad. I'm glad both of you are back. Even the smelly wolf over there."
Kagome laughed and turned to the frowning Kouga. His vain was popping out and he was shaking his fist.
"Oh mutt-face you're already starting with that. Come on we have news to tell you all so shut up would ya?"
Inuyasha crossed his arms and turned around and sat down with his nose in the air. And then all was quiet. Kouga put his arm around Kagome's shoulder and looked down on her and winked. And then he squeezed her shoulder giving her the okay. Kagome smiled and felt joy and then her voice sang through the air.
"Everyone we will have a new addition to the family. I am pregnant."
All was quiet and then was loud as Rin and Sango squeeled. And Sess, Miroku, and Inuyahsa yelled.
Sango and Rin once again swarmed Kagome.
"Oh my god Kagome! I can't wait. Congratulations I am so happy for the both of you!!!"
And then the boys approached Kouga Sess put a hand on Kouga's shoulder and gave him a respectful look.
"Nice Kouga. I trust you will be a great father congratulation."
Kouga thanked him and then moved onto the next two. They both said congratulation and the night went on with happy conversatios of what would happen and the names. Kouga finally decided on the name Faith, Kagome Ookami. He like the name and loved the idea of fathering a child he couldn't wait for him/her to be born.
