Ok, for those wondering what happened last, Kagome, Sota and Inuyasha were going to the Feudal Era when Kagome's 'former' boyfriend Hojo showed up. Now… On with Chappy Three!
Reunion of friends and an unexpected announcement!
Inuyasha left Kagome and Sota down at the bottom as he placed the bags down then reached over to first bring Sota up. "Stay right here. It won't take me long to get Kagome out." He was surprised when the kid went to sit under a tree nearby as he reached over to bring Kagome out. He blinked. "Yo, Kagome. You gonna stay down there?" He asked.
Kagome blinked and reached up. "I was just looking at the well. I forgot how different it looked on this side." She smiled as she was brought into his arms as a familiar voice called out.
"KAGOME! INUYASHA!" A young fox hopped into Kagome's arms when she knelt down, hugging her as she returned the hug.
"Shippo! How I've missed you!" Kagome said, standing up with the young fox-demon she took under her motherly wings. She looked at Sota. "Sota! Come meet Shippo!" She said, smiling.
Her brother bounced up. "Hiya, Shippo! Kagome has talked a lot about you!" He said.
Shippo blinked. "Kagome, who's this?"
Kagome giggled. "This is my brother, Sota."
Shippo then hopped onto Sota's head. "That's why he smells like you! Awesome!" He was a fox-demon with orange-ish hair and green eyes. he wore fur as a vest over his white-leaved blue-green kimono and a blue hakama. His feet were like a small fox's.
"Oh my Kami! Inuyasha, did you bring another female back from Lady Kagome's time? And a young boy? Kami-sama, Inuyasha. Never took you for a kidnapper." A male voice said as twin girls ran up with a brown-haired woman following, a bundle on her back. "Akari, Akina!" The man said, the twins stopping.
"Doggie! Fox!" The one in the green leaved light green kimono said, pointing to Inuyasha and Shippo.
"Earies!" The other, wearing a pink-leaved, light pink kimono said.
Kagome blinked and her smile widened as she recognized Sango and Miroku. She put her bag down and walked forward. "S..S.. Sango-chan.. Mi..Miroku-sama!" She walked to stop halfway to the woman
Sango had her brown hair out of the usual ties as she wore her normal kimono. (You can look it up. The descs will vary from here on out.) She gave Miroku the bundle as she walked to Kagome. "Kagome-chan? Oh, Kami-sama! You are here!" She pulled her into a hug and the two both cried happily about reuniting with their best friend/sister. "Wow.. You've really grown. I still can't believe you are here."
Kagome smiled and wiped away tears, nodding. "I can't either, Sango." She and Sango stood up. "Well, it feels so strange being back after three years... Felt like forever. Oh! Sota, come here!" She moved as Sota, who still had Shippo on his head, ran up. "This is..."
Sota interrupted her. "I know, Sango and Miroku. You talked nonstop about Sango, sis." He smiled.
Sango blinked. "Oh, this is your brother? I have a brother around your age, if not older." She smiled back. "Well, The girl in green is Akari, her twin sister is Akina. The little bundle is Miyatsu, our son." She said.
Kagome blinked as the name sinks in. "Wait. Miroku, didn't you say your grandfather's name was Miyatsu?" She thinks back and nods. She then turns and runs back to get her bag and her mate. "Come on, now. Don't wanna forget you." She smiles and tugs him along, once he grabbed the bags.
Inuyasha smiled at how happy his mate was at her return to the place she enjoyed to be in. He watched as an elder woman walked out of a hut. "Hey, Kaede-baba." He said, trying to act normally. Although he would always act like he wanted Kagome when they are alone.
The old woman shook her head. "Inuyasha, ye haven't changed one bit.. Who is thee by thou's side?" She asked, looking at Kagome.
Kagome giggled and put her bag down. "Kaede-onii-sama, it's me." She went to her side and hugged the elder priestess.
Kaede smiled. "Ye have really grown, chil- I should stop calling ye a child. Ye are a beautiful woman now." She smiled as the Youkai-Taijia and ex-monk sat with her. She blinks and looks closed at Kagome's neck. "Sango, what do you take that as?" She pointed to Kagome's mate mark.
Sango blinked and leaned forward. "Well, that would be a mating mark.. Oh.. my.. Kagome? Did.." Sango blubbered, trying to find something to say.
Kagome blushed and nodded. "Yeah.. I did... or.. We did." She hinted to the red-faced Inuyasha, who was sitting behind her.
Sango squeeled and hugged Kagome again. "It's about time."
Kagome smiled before it faded as she remembered her mother and grandfather. She should've stayed in school or something. But she was in love with Inuyasha to listen to anything or anyone. Now, she had lost both her parents (Her father died in a crash of some sort and forced them to move to Higurashi shrine) and her only grandfather. All because she made her choice not to go to school. She remembered the song she had sung the day she told mama about her choice.
Flashback:
Mama you taught me to do the right things
So now you have to let your baby fly
You've given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life
And I know you watch me grow up and always want whats best for me
And I think I found the answer to your prayers
"Mama... I have something to say..." Kagome said, walking into the kitchen
"What is it dear? You better get ready to go.." Mama said.
"About that... I love Inuyasha too much and I don't think school will be able to help me forget him. I'm not going."
"..."
"Mama?"
"...So.. You're so in love with a half-breed that you would ruin our family's reputation just to be with him..." Mama began.
"MAMA! He isn't a half-breed.. He has had a hard past.. And he's changed, Mama.. He's good to me now.." Kagome snapped.
And he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me
Mama theres no way you'll ever lose me
And giving me away is not goodbye
As you watch me walk down to my future, I hope tears of joy are in your eyes
"I don't care about his past. Don't raise your voice at me!" Mama said, tears in her eyes. "I've had to raise an ungraceful girl and a little boy by MYSELF!"
"I'm not ungraceful! It's my choice how to live my life, I'm 18 now! I am an adult."
Mama left the room, calling for her father and the two left without another word.
Cuz he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me
The next morning, Kagome watches the news and the most tragic thing was said: "Ashito Higurashi and his daughter, Mioko, were killed when the car they were driving went into on-coming traffic. They leave behind Kagome Anitisa Higurashi and Sota Hishiro Higurashi. Our program will go through their lives... We-"
Kagome turned off the TV after that. That's how her father died too, but he wasn't angry at anyone. Kagome went to the wellhouse to cry it off.
And when I watch my little baby grow I'll only want whats best for her
And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers
And that she'll say
He is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me
Mama dont you worry about me
Dont you worry about me
End Flashback
"..Kagome-sama? Hello?" Miroku said, waving a hand in front of her.
"Oh, sorry.. I was thinking. Can you repeat what you said?" Kagome said, adding a fake laugh into it, which caused her mate to blink and tilt his head.
"Well, I was saying that it is so nice to have you back, Lady Kagome." Miroku said.
Kagome nodded and went outside to stretch and to wander around for a while. She walked to a spring that she had found a few years ago. Slipping her shoes and socks off, she placed her feet in the water as Sango walked up, carrying a kimono that looked like Kaede and Kikyo's, when Kikyo was alive.
"Here.. Now, I should head back. Unless you want company." Sango said.
Kagome nodded. "I guess I would like some company. I mean it's been three years since we last bathed together." She unzipped her shirt and took it off. She unzipped her skirt and placed it on top of her shirt. Soon, she slipped in, sighing in relief. She saw how Sango easily got into the spring.
Sango giggled at the look on Kagome's face. "What?" She stared at Kagome.
"Well, I think there is something Inuyasha isn't telling me... I don't know what. Oh well." She smiled. She then leaned closer to whisper to Sango, "You better go back and take my clothes back. I can tell when he's near."
"Ahh. Because of the mark?"
"Mhm."
"Well, let me know what he tells you." Sango said as she got out and got dressed. She walked away, past a certain hanyou in a tree, waiting to get some more alone time to talk to his mate.
Kagome hopped up to the edge and swirled her feet in the water, thinking. She only jumped a little when she felt cloth surround her shoulders. "Jumpy love?" Inuyasha's voice asked, a hint of a grin in the tone.
Kagome giggled. "Only with you I am. Say, Inu-"
"Don't get mad at me. I've been quiet because... Because you're carrying my pup..." Inuyasha gulped, but held her close. He was scared she'd hate him, that she'd leave him or that she'd never love the pup. He could only pray she loved him, stay with him and love the pup she would be giving birth to in 9 weeks, four if the child is a half-demon.
Kagome squeeled instead and tackled him, smiling at him. "Why in the world why would I be angry at you, my dearest? I've always wanted to have your pups." She cuddled close to his chest. Not only does she have the love of her life as a mate, now they were going to be parents. "So, when am I due?"
Inuyasha blinked. "Well, it depends on whether the pup is half-demon or not. If it is a half-demon, four weeks. If not-"
"Nine months?"
"No.. 9 weeks. You forgot, I'm half-dog, so the 9 weeks is due to that." Inuyasha explained.
Kagome nodded and rolled off to crawl to her clothes that Sango left her. "So... 9 weeks if the pup isn't a half-demon... And four if it is.." She noticed he was watching her dress with a grin. "What?" She asked, blinking.
"Just thinking how damn sexy you'll be when you get farther along." He said, standing up and catching his outer kimono that was flung at him. "What?"
Kagome giggled and finished dressing. "You're just trying to get on my good side.. Which.." She walked up to him and leaned closer, causing him to blink and freeze. Smiling more, she leaned up and kissed his lips before walking back to Kaede's hut. "It's working.."
Inuyasha chuckled and ran to catch up to her. When he did, he sweeped her up into his arms. "Just need to find that bastard brother of mine.." He grumbled a little.
"Oh? Why?" Kagome asked, cuddling close to his shoulder.
He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Sesshomaru has a demonic nose, better than mine... So he can tell if the pup is half-demon or not."
Kagome nodded as they reached the hut. When they entered, Inuyasha carried her to his usual spot, across from Miroku, Sango and their family. He kept her in his arms as he leaned against the wall.
Sango spoke up. "So, Kagome... What's up?" She asked.
Kagome smiled a little. "He informed me that me and him are expecting pups.. And that I'll be due in either 9 weeks or four, depending on whether or not the pup is a half-demon or not." She then explained that they need to see Sesshomaru about whether or not their child is a half-demon. She saw a girl walk in. It took a moment before the name hit her. "Rin-chan?"
The girl blinked and looked at Kagome. "Kagome-sama! You have returned! Rin had known you would come back eventually! Master Jaken said I was foolish!" Rin said, smiling.
"Say, Rin? When exactly is Sesshomaru due back?" Kagome asked.
Rin thought. "Lord Sesshomaru will visit Rin tomorrow." She said.
"Okay." Kagome yawned a little and cuddled closer, her eyes slowly closing. "I'm tired... Been a long day." She said. "Night."
"Night." The group replied.
Inuyasha nuzzled close to her, whispering. "Sleep well, my Kagome."
She gave a small smile before her eyes closed completely.
Inuyasha and the rest smiled as he let her sleep in his arms. The group all smiled at this. Inuyasha rarely showed feelings for anyone before. Then again.. Kagome had changed him slowly. They decided to all turn in, even Inuyasha, since they had a big day tomorrow.
