Abandoned

Foxgem: In honor of my one year anniversary I put in this short little chapter to keep you guys company. Aren't I so sweet? I know there was a lot of questions and "no!" 's but this should clear something's up.

Chapter 16

What Would I Do Without You?

Inuyasha shook as he sat down on the kitchen chair. Inuyasha put his head in his hands.

"No…Inuyasha…no." was all Kagome got out as Kikyo and Sango helped her sit. Kagome was deathly pale and shaking violently.

"Rin! Get somecold water on a cloth and bring it here." Kikyo commanded.

Kagome ran her hands through her hair and then gripped it as if she was going to pull it out. "NO! NOOO!" Kagome didn't seem to notice anyone. Kagome fought away Kikyo, Rin, and Sango as they tried to soothe her. Kagome slumped to the ground and pounded with her fists against the tiled floor. "Oh God! No! Don't take my babies away! NO!" Kagome's hands began to bleed with the strain.

Inuyasha looked at the slumped figure on the floor in front of him. Inuyasha ran a hand over his face then he knelt down and took Kagome in his arms and wrapped himself around her. Kagome gripped his shirt with everything she had as she sobbed. Inuyasha looked numbly at the tiled floor in front of him as he rocked her back and forthwith silent tears flowing down his face.

Kikyo turned and went to her husband crying. Naruku hugged Kikyo as he tried to whisper comforting words.

Sango and Miroku could only look at the fallen couple.

After a while Sess broke the silence. "I am going to call the babysitter. Rin and I will watchthepupstonight."

"NO! I want my babies with me! NO!" Kagome said frantically trying to break free of Inuyasha's grip.

Inuyasha held her fast. "Thank you." Inuyasha said nodding.

"Inuyasha I want to spend.." Kagome stopped when Inuyasha looked at her.

Inuyasha turned to Kikyo. "If you don't mind…I think My wife and I will stay here the night."

"Of course. Take the bedroom you usually take." Naruku murmured. "Now if you excuse me…this is too much excitement for Kikyo. I am going to put her down." Naruku carefully picked up Kikyo and took her to their room.

"That goes for us too, Rin?" Sess held out a hand and Rin came grippingit for dear life. After one look back to Inuyasha and Kagome, Sess and Rin left.

Sango touched Kagome's shoulder. "Kagome…what should I do? What can I do? Do you want me to stay?"

Kagome shook her head. "No, Sango. Go on home. You have a man who needs you. Thank you so much Sango."

Miroku touched Inuyasha on the shoulder then took Sango away.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome. Then he picked her up in his arms. Kagome began to cry again as they past Kikyo's pictures of Kagome and her family.

"Shh…Kagome…Shh…" Inuyasha whispered as he took her to their room. Inuyasha opened the door and laid Kagome on the bed. Kagome rolled into a ball and hugged herself. Inuyasha shut and locked the door.

Inuyasha went back to the bed and took of his shirt. Kagome saw him take off his shirt. "No, Inuyasha! No." Kagome backed away from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha didn't pay any attention. He came to her and pinned her to the bed.

"INUYASHA! NOO!" Kagome said struggling.

Inuyasha kissed her making her gasp. Inuyasha filled her mouth with his stopping any protest.

When they came up for air she again struggled to get out of his grasp.

"Kagome, stop it. Stop it."

"NO!" Kagome turned on him and beat on his chest with her fists. "Don't you understand?" Kagome yelled crying. "If Kara is infected with it then I AM! If I am then there is a chance that YOU are as well! NO! I don't want to risk you as well! NO!"

Inuyasha put his whole weight on her. Inuyasha whispered into her ear. "Do you think that I don't know that? Kagome, I have out lived 2 wives. I do not plan to make it three. I couldn't live with myself. Especially if it meant loosing you. Are you not aware of how many times I have slept with you? If you have it Kagome…then I have it too. I want to spend whatever time we have left…together."

"But Shippo…"

"If you do have it…that means that Kara, you, Nathan, and I will die leaving Shippo in Sess' care."

"No…Inuyasha…I will not leave Shippo here by himself. No." Kagome shook her head.

Inuyasha ripped her shirt open. "Kagome…it is too late for me. Do you understand? It is too late for me. I have slept with you too many times. If you have it then I do. I want to spend the rest of my life making love to the woman who I love most."

Kagome reached up and guided Inuyasha to her lips. " I love you. I love you my half demon." Kagome whispered against his lips. "What would I do without you?"

"That is what I ask myself every time when I see your face."

Foxgem: Do you get it? If not here we go…Nathan probably has it because of his Mother and Hojo. If Kara has it then Kagome does. If Kagome has it then Inuyasha has it. It is a sure thing that you will die from this disease. So if they all have it…they all die…except for Shippo. If Kagome dies Shippo will have outlived two mothers and a father. Just like someone else…Sess. Do you understand it?

Kikyo sat in her room rubbing her huge stomach. Kikyo looked at herself in the mirror. She could barely recognize herself. She was pale and thin (ha…thin for what should she be) and her hair was a rats nest.

Kikyo turned away from the mirror. What if she had been in Kagome's situation? What would happen if she died? What would Naruku do?

"Hey…what are you thinking about?" Naruku said coming in and kissing her head.

Kikyo stood up and walked away from him. "Naruku…what would you do if I died?"

"What?"

"Seriously…what would you do?"

"That is NOT a fair question!"

"Why not!"

"WHY NOT? You dare to ask ME why not…Kikyo don't you understand? There is no life after you! THERE IS NO LIFE AFTER YOU!" Naruku glared at her. He was loosing it.

"Naruku…be serious. If I died in labor and if…all the pups-"

Naruku covered her mouth with his hand. "No. You will NOT say anything like that again. You will not."

"Naruku…please…" Kikyo said crying. "I want to know what would be come of my husband if I left. I just want to know."

Naruku looked at the floor. "I…I don't know…Kikyo…I love you. My life is you. If you died…then I would die as well."

"Oh Naruku. As much as I love you...ff the time came…would you marry someone else?"

"No. Kikyo you are the only mate for me. I swear to you here and now. You are my only mate. You and no one else." Naruku went to her and drew her to him (trying not to hit or bump her stomach) "I love you and only you."

Kikyo kissed him. 'Oh Naruku,' Kikyo thought. 'I feel so happy that you tell me this…but Naruku…what if I don't make it like Inuyasha's wives? What would happen to you?' Inside Kikyo felt her children seconded that worry.

"Miroku, stop." Sango scowled Miroku who had his hands all over her.

Miroku shook his head and smiled. "I think not."

Sango turned and slapped his hands angrily. "I said STOP."

"Come on Sango."

"No. Can't you feel some sympathy for Kagome and Inuyasha?" Sango asked turning back to their dinner.

"I do. I just…I want to remind myself that life…can be good. I love Kagome and Inuyasha…don't get me wrong. But sometimes I feel like we wrap our lives around theirs. That isn't right. I think we need time to ourselves." When Sango began to object Miroku raised a hand. "No. Listen to me. I would love to be able to snap my fingers and make their situation all better. I would love to. But I can't I can't fix their problems. I am only one man.

"Sango…with all of this going on…all the Drama do you realize we haven't had any real time alone? We haven't talked like this, we haven't held hands…we are falling apart. We need time to ourselves. We have to accept that we can't do everything for Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome is smart and while Inuyasha may be a bit dense, but I do feel like they know what they are doing. They can handle this together.

Miroku took Sango into his arms. "I love you and I want to make you the happiest person alive. I want to have my children with you. I want to grow old and bald with you. But if we keep on going like we are…it will never happen. Let us leave Inuyasha and Kagome alone for a while. Let them figure things out. I have faith in them."

Sango hugged Miroku. "I just feel so bad…I want to do everything I can…but I know that you are right. We do need to figure things out."

Miroku looked at his burned dinner. Miroku sighed. "How about we go out tonight? Somewhere quiet then we can home and make love underneath the stars?"

"Uhh…I will take the dinner but I refuse to make love to you under the stairs. How about we settle for our bedroom?" Sango wrapped her arms around his neck.

Miroku gave her a peck on the lips. "Come on, honey. The sooner we leave the sooner I can have you all to myself."

Later that night at Rin's and Sess' house…

Rin sighed happily as she climbed into bed with her husband. "Man! I thought those kids would never fall asleep." Rin yawned.

Sess smiled and pulled her to him. "I know. I am surprised. Kara and Nathan acted like real demon children."

Rin went up on her elbow. "Really? Is that how demon children really are?"

"Basically. But they are more annoying." Sess closed his eyes.

Just then there was a flash of lightning then a huge boom that fallowed immediately.

"Sound like a huge storm." Sess commented as he stretched.

"Hai. So Sess…what are demon children like?" Rin asked smiling.

Sess yawned. "They are just like human children except that they are more bossy, annoying, smelly, and cute."

Rin smiled wickedly. "When will we have our own pup?" With that Rin jumped up and straddled him.

Sess looked up at her in surprise. "Rin?"

FLASH…BOOM!

Rin smiled as she drew her hands on his chest. "Seriously. When will have our own bossy, annoying, smelly, and cute pup?"

Sess smiled as he gripped her waist. "As soon as you allow me to-" Sess shot up in bed catching Rin off balance. She would have fallen if Sess didn't grab onto her.

"Sess! What in the devils name-" Sess took her chin and directed it to the doorway. There stood three pairs of eyes.

FLASH! BOOOOOM!

Just then three little children launched themselves onto the bed. There sat Rin and Sess surrounded by three shaking children underneath the blankets.

Kara peeked out of the covers. "Can we stay with you tonight? Momma always lets us sleep with her during a storm."

Just then another wave of thunder and lighting filled the sky making the room shake. Kara peeped and hid back underneath the covers. Rin and Sess looked at each other.

Rin felt like laughing her head off. Sess was annoyed. "I take that back. Rin…there will be no pups for a LONG time." With that Rin began to laugh. Rin got off of Sess.

"Kara…Why don't you grab the middle. Okay…Sess if you will lay down to the other side of Kara and Shippo you can grab Sess' other side. Nathan Come lay next to me." Rin said smiling.

After getting everyone situated Rin laid down and wrapped her arms around Kara and Nathan. Rin was out like a light.

Sess looked at the picture that they made. It was cute to see Rin surrounded by pups, kids, it really wasn't a bad idea…it only bothered Sess that after they began to have pups…that they wouldn't be able to have any alone time. Like what would happen if Rin and he were busy making love and their kids just walked in? AHH!

Sess smiled…still…It would be really nice to have some pups of his own. Well, why not? That's it! Tomorrow Sess was going to convince Rin into having kids. Tomorrow…he was going to stat his family.
