A Future Fairytale
Chapter 2
Enter Sesshomaru
………………
I watched as InuYasha's eyes bulged wide open almost completely out of his head in shock at what I had just told him. Inside, I was shaking madly, fearing I might get rejection from my mate and that he might release me because I was a disgrace for letting myself get pregnant. Even if he did, I would not get rid of it. I would raise the baby as my own with the help of Miroku, Sango and Shippo.
But I visibly winced when I felt InuYasha's arms wrap around me and pull me close to his chest. I could feel his warm breath as it tickled my neck as he nuzzled it with love...he doesn't hate me? I thought with watery eyes. I held his head with my hand and played with one of his ears. "Inu...Yasha?" I asked hopefully.
"Oh Kikyou," InuYasha breathed as he hugged me quite possessively and protectively against him. "You have made me the happiest man alive." I saw Sango smiling tearfully beside Miroku and Shippo grinning beside Kirara...they were all happy?
"InuYasha," I smiled happily, my head nuzzling his. He let out a slight purr as his hands came to rest on my stomach and held me and our child protectively. "I won't let anything happen to you both."
I smiled slightly at InuYasha's protective words for our child any myself. It made me feel loved in a way I had never felt before. I truly loved this feeling I got whenever I am around my special hanyou. My mate. My beloved...my hero.
Miroku interrupted my thoughts as InuYasha and I looked up at him. "Well, I do believe this is a case for a celebration. Congratulations, Kikyou-sama."
"Arigatou, Houshi-sama," I replied as I recieved a hug from Sango.
"Yes, congratulations to you both!"
InuYasha merely grinned and rested his head on my shoulder. I smiled and leaned my head against his as his arms stayed around me, planted on my stomach in a protective manner. This was the beginning of our new family... and hoping no threats would come around to destroy it.
The next few weeks passed and I was overcome by morning sickness, headaches and dizziness. InuYasha stayed with me the whole time, trying to do his best so that I would feel better, but in reality there was nothing he could do. Kaede came to visit whenever she could, but she was living with her friend Tsukano, who I have to say is really quite cute and I hope he treats her right. She was quite happy about becoming an aunt, even if it was such at a young age...
My thoughts were interrupted yet again as I saw InuYasha enter the hut carrying some water in a bottle for me. "Here this might help if you don't feel like eating."
I smiled and took it gratefully. In truth I didn't feel like eating at all. But the water might help sooth my stomach. "Arigato." I said and took the water, taking a few sips.
"Gomen...I can't really do anything to help..."
I stood up and hugged him gently. "Oh InuYasha, you're doing more than enough by just being here."
"You...mean it?" he asked, still doubting himself, I could see it in his eyes.
"Of course I do," I smiled at him geniunely. "Aishiteru."
InuYasha smiled and brought his lips to mine in a kiss. "Aishiteru, Kikyou..."
Our moment of happiness was interrupted (Why does that always seem to be happening to us?) by a fearful yell. "There's an attack on the village! It's a demon!"
InuYasha's eyes widened and he told me to stay in the hut in order to protect myself along with the pup, but I didn't listen. I quietly followed him out with Miroku and Sango who both stood at my side.
I saw InuYasha turn to look at the attacker, who didn't appear rather demonlike... except for the markings on his face and the shape of a crescent moon on his forehead. A green toad and a young girl were by his side. InuYasha's eyes widened slightly at the girl, I could see that.
"What the hell are you doing here, Sesshomaru?"
"Come now, InuYasha, is that any way to treat your elder brother?"
