Ok. Now.. I don't own anything in here, not the characters of InuYasha nor the song She's Everything by Brad Paisley. I ;3 all that review.. They keep my work going.
Kikyou's voice inside Kagome's head
Thoughts.
Chapter 6: A visit from a old friend?
Kagome watched the sky as she flew on Kilala. "Thanks Kilala." She said to the cat, getting a light growl from her. While she awed at the beauty of the sky, Kagome thought of the last time she rode Kilala. "It's been awhile since I rode you alone, hasn't it? Nearly four years ago." Just the memory made her realize how far she and Inuyasha had come from when they first met. Inuyasha had changed so much since we met four years ago. So have I. It's hard to believe he used to be a an arrogant, selfish, stubborn, violent, narrow-minded, dog-breath jerk. Now.. He is opposite. Kagome smiled as they reached Totosai's fish remains. "Totosai?" She called, hopping down and then having Kilala go onto her shoulder.
An old man sat cross-legged on the floor, using his fire breath (Cool, btw) to forge weapons. He looked at her with beady orbs, (more like dots, but, meh. xD) and blinked. "Ahh. Kagome is it? I must say, being a half-demon was your calling. Anyways.. I wanted to talk to you without having to fear Inuyasha might hit my head.. As you know, you are pupped with a girl. But, there is a chance if you two 'did it' anytime during your pregnancy that you would be carrying that many more pups.."
Kagome blinked. She and Inuyasha had only had sex twice since she became pregnant. "So I'm carrying triplets? One girl.. But what about the other genders?"
Totosai stared. "What about them? The next one would be a boy, then girl.. That's how hanyou litters work." He nodded and went to grab a bow with a quiver. "I expected you, so I made a bow that controls your demonic side, using an extra tooth from Inuyasha. Should it break, you might act like Inuyasha did. The other thing it controls is your spiritual powers once they re-awaken."
"'Re-awaken?' Weren't they awake when I was inside Naraku?" Kagome was confused. Her powers were sealed again?
"Only then when your life was in danger did your powers awaken... I wouldn't know.. I'm a demon swordsmith... Eh.. What were we talking about again?" His mind went blank and he had a wondering look on his face.
Kagome sighed. "Nothing. Just let me take the bow and arrows." She took them and placed the quiver on her shoulder and held the bow out. "See you, Master Totosai. Let's head back Kilala."
The bow was a deep red, like Inuyasha's robe, with a blue grip and a thread that appeared to be demon hair. She pulled on it like she loaded an arrow and decided it was strong demon hair. She couldn't wait to tell Inuyasha what Totosai said about her gaining two pups. She'd ask Kaede later about the powers thing. The sun, she realized was only half-way in the sky. In her time, it vanished a lot due to the buildings. Kaede's hut came into view and Kilala landed, hopping into her arms as she walks inside.
Shippo saw her first. "Kagome! You're back!"
Kagome giggled. "Why would I not come back? It was just Totosai." She placed her bow and quiver on the wall and sat next to Inuyasha. "Speaking of him. He did tell me a few things. First, apparently my powers are sealed again. Not only that but he managed to make the bow be able to control that power if it happens to unseal again, plus the demonic side." She tried to leave out most to tell Inuyasha later.
She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
Kaede nodded. "That would be good. When ye defeated Naraku, Kagome's spiritual powers went back into dormancy, seeing the threat was gone. I had heard there is a way to unseal the dormant power... Now I have to remember.." She paused for a couple seconds. "Well. I can't remember. Unfortunately Kikyou could have answered that."
She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowin
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving
Kagome mentally flinched at that name. She hadn't heard of Kikyou since she died in Inuyasha's arms before the final battle against Naraku. Kikyou was Inuyasha's first love and Naraku made them betray each other. Kagome was Kikyou's reincarnation and so she always felt out of place after he went to see her and couldn't look into her eyes.
I am sorry about that, Kagome.
Kikyou?
Yes. I had no idea how hurt I made you. I am sorry.
It's ok. I never held it against you.
[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
because she's everything to me
Kagome excused herself and went to the shrine where the Shikon no Tama used to be, which was next to Kikyou's gravesite. Kagome sat on the steps and continued her inner-talk with her incarnation.
Why did you not hold it against me?
Because I would have done the same if I were you. After a while, I guess kinda stopped hoping he would ever look at me again without seeing you. He avoided me or sent me home. Just knowing I was in your shadow made it hard for me to even admit to myself I loved him...
... Oh. Well, you two were meant to be, I knew it when I saw him rush over to cut you loose from my soul collectors. I just did not want to believe that he had gave his heart away to someone not from our time. I believe you two knew each other long before you came over here. The Kamis were making sure you would change his life.
Yeah. I guess so... You heard about how my powers were resealed, right?
Of course. I remember how I did it. I went to Mount Azuma, where you got your bow, and there is a stream there just for priests and priestesses. The water may be drank and bathed in. Do not worry about the mating things, that has nothing to do with it. But the children inside you will gain a little spiritual energy, like you did when you were born. After you bathe and drink the water, the head priestess, Yukaki, will help you unlock those powers again and for good.
Thanks.
It went silent and Kagome smelt her mate long before he landed beside her, a confused look on his face. "What's wrong? Usually you stay there to listen to Miroku say something and watch him get his ass handed to him by Sango." His ears twitched, waiting for an answer.
Kagome grinned. "I know she hands Miroku-sama his butt to him. I was just thinking about a few things. More like me and Kikyou were having a conversation in my head and I had to have some quiet while she talked... I know, it's crazy.." She sighed and played with her kimono skirt.
Inuyasha grinned and shook his head as he brought her into his lap. "Not at all. You have Kikyou in your head, I have a demon. Nothing crazy about that. What did Kikyou talk about?" He nuzzled her neck, smiling.
She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy
Kagome smiled and giggled when he nuzzled her neck. "Well, she told me that I was actually meant to be here and I was destined to be with you. She knew it the moment she first saw me after being brought back." She blinked slightly when she felt his hand rest on her stomach, over where their pups were growing.
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing
Inuyasha nodded and sighed. "Too bad we didn't realize that as well as the others."
Kagome giggled. "If we did, it still wouldn't be enough for you. Plus, it would've ruined everything else."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "At least I could've known. Then.."
[Repeat chorus]
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for
Kagome cuddled closer. "You'd still act like you did, even if you knew. I didn't mind it much." She could barely contain her happiness about the extra two pups she was carrying. "Say... How'd you react if we were wrong with how many pups I was carrying?"
Inuyasha thought for a second. "Well, I'd probably be stunned for a while and then ask how many. Why?"
Kagome leaned back and smiled. "Totosai told me if we made love during my pregnancy that I would be carrying that many more pups. So I'm actually carrying triplets. Unless that number changes depending on ho-"
She was interrupted by his mouth capturing hers. Her hands clung to his top before relaxing, knowing she was safe. She moaned softly when he pulled away to look at her. "Now shut up... All you had to say was 'we'll be having triplets'. I didn't want the whole explination.. Now. About the news, I think it's great. Just means bigger breasts.."
Kagome glared half-hearted at him. "Perverted baka... Is that all you think about?" She flicked one of his ears.
And she 's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me
Inuyasha grinned and rubbed her stomach. "Only around you. But I also meant bigger stomach, too." He saw her light up and smile. "Besides. I can't help being perverted with you. Everything about you makes me want you." He nuzzled her neck while hiding the hard-on he just aroused thinking of her and how she felt around him.
Kagome blinked and grinned. "Seems you have a slight problem now koishii. That's what you get for being perverted." She giggled and wiggled to prove her point, earning a growl from her mate.
Inuyasha nipped lightly at her nose. "Careful. Or you might wind up with more pups than you can handle." He saw her blink, think about that and sigh.
Kagome grinned. "How about you take me to bathe and keep watch for more Mirokus and I might help ya." She added a wink at the last part.
Inuyasha chuckled and took off towards the hot spring she always used when she and Sango wanted to bathe. Carefully placing her on her feet, he went to keep an eye out for his woman's privacy.
Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah shes everything to me
everything to me
Kagome watched her love go off to protect her, her heart bursting with love for him. She untied her obi and let her skirt drop to pool around her feet, the obi joining it. The kimono and kisode joined moments later as she put her feet into the water and sliding in carefully. She sighed and relaxed. Her ears twitched when a twig snapped and she put it off as a forest creature or Inuyasha.
When she heard it again, she smiled. "Ok, love. Stop hiding." She heard no reponse. "Inuyasha?" She took a smell and caught a human smell as she ducked into the water. When the sounds stopped, she went back to bathing herself. She noticed her brests did get bigger since the time she found out she was pregnant.
Meanwhile, a human man caught a glimpse of a woman bathing and hid when she looked around. When she said 'Inuyasha', he blinked. That woman called the name of his good friend. Who was that woman? He continued to watch her, seeing black tresses and the same peach skin he remembered. He kept his voice low.
"Ahhh.. Miss Kagome.. Such a beautiful maiden." He stared at her chest when she turned around to wash the bubbles on her. Little did he know that Inuyasha was behind him until he heard a growl. He jumped and looked over to see the half-demon looking pissed as always.
"Why you peeping bastard." He grabbed his collar and lifted him up. He raised his voice to alert the woman. "Koibito, I found a certain pervert you might recognize."
Kagome's voice answered back. "If it's Miroku, send him to Sango."
"It's not exactly Miroku."
A pause and then her voice seemed irked. "Well who else could it be? And how can it 'not exactly' be Miroku-sama?"
"First cover up and I'll show you."
The water sloshed around, signaling she was getting out. There was a rustling of fabric and her voice came back. "Ok. Let me see."
Inuyasha dragged him out into the open. "Recognize him?"
Kagome nodded and glared. "It's Okitoki Hojo. He's the one that first got us wrapped up in the Celestial robe, which lead to me being kidnapped by Kaguya. Then he was dealing with the sword Naginata of Heaven, which also lead me to get kidnapped by Hoshiomi's ninja demon.. He said he loved me when the question was meant for you." She huffed slightly as Inuyasha also glared at Okitoki before wrapping her up in both his kimono and his arms, protecting her yet gentle on her waist. "Now who's chasing you?"
Okitoki gulped and kept staring at her chest. "Umm... No one really... I was just taking... a umm... stroll and..."
Kagome saw where his eyes were at the same time Inuyasha brought her behind him. She hid behind his shoulder while sending flames at Okitoki before Inuyasha growled. "Keep your eyes in your head, hentai! Unless you wanna lose them."
Kagome smiled softly before composing herself. "Oh. And Shippo did tell me that it was you that peeped on me and Sango."
"I could- ow!" He grabbed his head and flinched. "What did I do? You and Kagome weren't even together, so why hit me?"
"Cause. No body peeps on the women while I'm around. Especially Kagome." Inuyasha said, seeing Okitoki's eyes return to Kagome. He grabbed him and threw him like he did to Shippo a couple times. "Baka... The next time I see him I will tear him apart if he doesn't change.." He huffed, tapping a finger on his arms.
Kagome smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "I know you will. I would too." She gasped slightly when she was swung up into his arms, his face close to hers. "What? I know you too well."
Inuyasha grinned. "Yeah. You do." He kissed her lightly before taking off back to Kaede's.
Ok. There's Chapter six. I'm thinking of doing three more and then go work on the sequel.. That one needs love.
