Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Valkyrie Profile. Seriously!

Took me a bit, because the holidays are starting and well...its hard not to be caught up in them.

Read, read, read!

For the next six months, it was all a waiting game. Nothing was apparent, until one night, when Freya and Inuyasha were stargazing, when she put her hand on her stomach, smiling. "Inuyasha, feel."

He put a hand below hers and felt a soft kick from within her. He blinked, then smiled. "I guess it's real, then."

She nodded. "Of course it is. I've been feeling a bit heavier here, but I never felt any movement until tonight." She turned to glare at Koga, who was watching them like a hawk. "You look like a moron, standing there. Why don't you at least sit while you're watching?"

"I feel better standing than sitting. I don't sit unless I'm resting or sleeping."

"You're just trying to impress me. Just so you know, its not working."

Koga sat, sighing. "You just burst my bubble, after six months. You always seem to have a sharp tongue, even now."

"I always will, just to make you look stupid."

Inuyasha watched the proceedings with great pleasure, since ever since this god had come to try and win Freya's heart, all she'd done was outsmart and insult him. And she'd said he was smart. She wasn't a genius, but it seemed that around her, his brain didn't work too well. This guy was supposed to be his rival? He could win easily and then some.

He had to stifle a laugh. He'd already won, because Freya had proclaimed that she'd never leave, should having a child with him fail. And she'd just proved that she was indeed with child. He looked up at the moon, thinking about what the baby would be like, once it was born.

But the bonehead just had to interrupt his musings.

"This boy, not even a man, he leaves you completely alone one night a month. What if she was attacked while you were gone, boy?"

Inuyasha smirked. "She can take care of herself. She is a goddess, after all."

Freya blinked, confused as to why this was. It's true. Even while I was traveling with him and the others, looking for the Shikon Jewel, he went out one day a month. I wonder why this is. "Inuyasha, why do you go out one night a month? Urgent business?"

"That's none of your concern."

"But Inuyasha, it is! Why are you avoiding the answer? Is it too secretive to talk about, even to me?"

He glanced at Koga, who glared back. "I can't say anything with him around. I never give away anything to my enemies. Maybe I'll show you on the day I go out. As long as the moron doesn't follow us."

Koga snorted. "And what am I supposed to do the whole time you're both gone?"

Freya glared at him, spelling out what she would do to him if he followed them that night. "You won't follow us, will you, Koga?" she said in a tone so sweet it could've been poured over pancakes. A/N: I just love it! There is going to be a quote from one of the earlier episodes next chapter!

The god got the message and shook his head. "I guess I'll twiddle my thumbs during that time."

Heehee! I make Koga look like a moron, don't I? It gets worse, though I did consider tweaking him a bit.
