A/N: I don't own Inuyasha… But I do own the children and other things. =3 Sayonara! Nor do I own Remember When.
Chapter 7: An unexpected battle!
~Two and a half weeks later~
Kagome stretched her back muscles and rested her hands on her buldge. In another half week or so, she'd be bringing in three new lives to the world. That brought a smile to her face as she walked outside of their hut. "Mornin, Sango!" She said.
Sango smiled as well. "Morning Kagome. Wow. I can't believe you are going to be a mother as well." She held the hands of the twin girls Akari and Akina. Kagome learned that Akari loved wear green and blue kimonos while Akina loved the girly pink and red kimonos. "Miyatsu is with Miroku and Inuyasha. I swear if he picks up on either Inuyasha's foul mouth of Miroku's 'curse' I will not know what to do."
Kagome shrugged. "Inuyasha hasn't been bad with his mouth now. He's slowly learning to stop." She explained as the four of them started the walk to Kaede's. She giggled softly when one of the pups kicked slightly. "Calm down in there you three."
Sango laughed. "Ahh, they've begun kicking, huh?"
Kagome nodded. "They made it nearly impossible for Inuyasha to cuddle me at night. One kicks his arm and the others kick my back. Lately, it's calmed down." She sighed as they saw the boys ahead of them. Giggling, she watched when Sango let Akari and Akina run to tackle their father and adopted uncle. They sent a secret look and walked up, pretending to look for something. "Hey, guys. Have you seen two little girls? One's wearing pink and the other is wearing green?"
Sango tapped her chin. "Now where could those two be, Kagome?"
The twins simutaniously hopped up. "We're right here!" Akina ran to Sango while Akari grabbed Kagome's hand and swung it between them.
Inuyasha and Miroku both rolled their eyes and stood up. Miroku dusted his son off and then dusted himself off. "Nice trick, ladies." He said, chuckling slightly as Sango and the girls walked up. "I must say that was the best joke ever."
Kagome blinked, as Sango froze slightly before speaking. "A trick... Really? As if we'd joke about this, honey.. Since everything you think is a joke, YOU deal with all three while I'm gone!" Sango sputtered and stormed off. "By the way... I HATE YOU!"
Remember when I was young
and so were you
Time stood still, love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when
Miroku glared at her back. "WELL I HATE YOU TOO!" He stormed off the opposite way, the children watching with Inuyasha, who now held Miyatsu.
Kagome looked to Miroku before following after her best friend, as much as she could two and half weeks pregnant. She had never dealt with this before in the past thirteen days she's been here. As she followed, she paused when a kick made her pause. This was a strange feeling. She only felt this with the Meido showed up behind her. Using her nose, she picked up Sango's scent. She blinked and started worrying when it seemed tainted with her blood. Catching sight of a demon hovering over someone, Kagome charged and her spiritual energy connected with the demon the same second her claws did. It roared and stumbled back, half it's arm removed from the elbow down. It took a swing at Kagome, only managing to get her arm with its own claws before giving her a killing glare and took off into the woods, holding it's arm. Kagome knelt next to Sango as Inuyasha arrived.
Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when
"What happened?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't really know... I just managed to get here in time to wound the demon that attacked Sango-chan.." She looked off into where the demon ran off before returning to Sango. She saw her best friend's eyes staring at her. "Sango, can you tell me where you're injured?"
Sango sat up, wincing slightly. "I think I might've gotten hurt in my back. Otherwise, I think I'm fine." She said, smiling at Kagome. Trying to stand up, Sango wobbled and fell beck down. "I guess I also hurt my leg." She laughed lightly.
Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when
Kagome sighed and helped her friend up, supporting her as the three walked back to Kaede's hut. She helped Sango lay down and gently went to sit on her knees. She caught the glance from her mate. "Go find the monk and I'll call ya if anything goes right or wrong." She saw him mentally roll his eyes and exit the hut, leaving her with a small smile. When he was gone, she helped Sango get undressed and winced at her arm's pain, which she thought was unusual. She never felt little things like this before. She looked at the wounds and grabbed her first aid kit and went to bandaging the marks on her friend. "The back should be good after a few days, just need to change the bandages a few times. Now, the leg needs to be put under cold water and you should stay off it for a while." She saw Shippo hop in.
"Kagome! Sango! You got hurt?" He asked.
Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when
Kagome nodded. "Yeah... It's nothing serious. And if Sango needs to go anywhere, you and Kilala can take her, right?" She asked and saw Shippo nod. "As for the wounds. She needs to be careful for a while." Finishing her task, she got up and stretched slightly before heading outside, seeing her mate and Miroku, who was looking away. "Well, Sango has a few cuts on her back, which should be good after I change the bandages a few times. Also, I told Shippo that if she needs to go anywhere, he or Kilala should help her since her leg seems like it got bruised really bad. Otherwise, she should stay off her leg as much as possible." She yawned lightly and waddled off to take a nap she was due for.
Inuyasha glared at Miroku and grabbed his robe. "You better fix this thing between you and Sango! Otherwise, so help me, I will make sure that Miyatsu is the last pup you have! Sango has been as forgiving to you as Kagome has to all the dumb-ass mistakes I've made. It rare to find a woman like that! Don't fuck this up." He shoved him away and went after Kagome.
Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when
Entering their hut, Kagome left on her inner kimono and rolled up the sleeve and took a look at her arm, seeing a small gash on her upper forearm. She bet it was bigger when she got it, but due to the demonic and spiritual healing, it has only healed a little bit. Sighing, she saw Inuyasha walk in and she gave a soft smile. "I hadn't really noticed the hit until after it ran off and I helped Sango up." She watched him shake his head and chuckle as he took her arm and cleansed the wound before wrapping it up with the piece of cloth she gave him.
"Yeah. That happens a lot." He laid back on the floor mat and grinned as he helped her lay next to him. He stroked her belly lightly as she cuddled close. "I know the feeling. Considering whenever you were either kidnapped or gone, I couldn't think straight. When I could, I hardly noticed the wounds like you did. To think if you had stay one of those times, I probably would've kept finding something to fight, whether it was a strong demon or Shippo." He cuddled her hair, inhaling her scent.
Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when
Kagome smiled and nodded. "And yet you were also so stubborn for most of those. I didn't help much, either. Whether it was getting poisoned, possessed, kidnapped or whatever happened. Like on Horai Island, I was surprised I managed to keep Asagi and the others calm when Ryura showed up." She smiled and yawned again.
Inuyasha nodded. "Take a nap now, love. I'll be here no matter what." He kissed her forehead and stared at her stomach with joy. Soon, he'd be a father and have three pups looking up to him for help. He has been worrying about how he'd be at raising his own family. But, with Kagome promising he'd be the best father, not to mention she would help him. That alone made him love her even more. First things first, he had to find that demon that hurt Sango and gave Kagome the wound that would probably scar later.
~An hour and thirty minutes later~
Kagome woke up to her pups kicking her stomach, letting her know that: one, she had to go pee and two, she had to check up on Sango. Before she could do something, Inuyasha was already helping her up. She smiled and headed to where Sango was resting. As they were half-way to the hut, Kagome paused when the same pup that warned her before kicked her again. She stopped and looked into the forest just before catching glowing green eyes that vanished for a second and then the same demon that attacked Sango leapt towards her.
Inuyasha caught the strange scent the same time his mate stopped and swung her into his arms and leapt backwards, avoiding the large one-armed demon while his woman clung to him until he stopped and took out Tetsusaiga, which immediately transformed into the large fang. It always transformed whenever a human, or Kagome, was in danger, allowing him to access many techniques. "Stay here." He gave the sheath to Kagome, just in case, who nodded. He turned to the demon with a smirk. "Finally get to see ya, you bastard. Let's say you were lucky my woman only took an arm off ya. Your luck, unfortunately has run out." He held it straight out as the Wind Scar formed around the blade.
The Wind Scar was the first move he actually learned that he can now use whenever he wanted, since he mastered it and the other moves. In the beginning he had to first find where the swirling demonic aura colided and then swing. Now, he just takes aim and summons the attack. (Geez, I sound like one of those wierdos. -.-')
The demon roared again and charged towards Kagome, but was always intercepted by Inuyasha. It tried once more and was met by a blast from the same sword which Inuyasha held. It managed to avoid the brunt of it by side-stepping, but it still got hit. When it looked again, that same sword was now diamond-encrusted.
"Alright, you are a fast bastard.. Try this! Adamant Barrage!" He sent the spears of adamant flying from a single slice in the space, which in turn finally destroyed the demon. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as Kagome came up and handed him the sheath. "Well, that was somewhat fun.." He said, replacing the sword and sheath back in his belt.
Kagome giggled slightly. "Of course it was fun for you. You've mastered every technique Tetsusaiga has offered. From the Wind Scar to Meidō Zangetsuha. Even without those techniques, you still would be the master of Tetsusaiga." She smiled and headed into the hut to check on Sango.
Inuyasha blinked and smiled. That's true. Even if I hadn't learn all of those techniques, I still would've been as strong as I am now. But there's one reason for me learning them. And that reason is you Kagome. I swore when I first got the sword that I'd always protect you with it, even now that Naraku's dead. He saw Miroku walk up and glared at him. "You did fix things with Sango, right?"
Miroku sighed and nodded. "Of course I did.. After what you told me, I figured you were right. I mean, after all you've put Lady Kagome through with every visit to Lady Kikyou, not to mention how you use to get into fights over little things with her that-"
"Okay, baka, I got it! I don't need to know what I did to her then. I'm lucky that I'm not ten feet to Hell by now. I learned that it's in her nature to be forgiving. I never knew that she'd also be so loving, too." He growled lightly.
Miroku nodded as Kagome came out with the news that Sango would be great after a few more days. He went inside the same time Kagome went to wash her hands in the stream, Inuyasha following close behind her.
Kagome sighed and dried her hands as she watched the sun set over her home. She remembered what she and Sango descovered about her and her pregnancy.
"I think sometime tomorrow you'll be giving birth, Kagome-chan." Sango said.
"Oh?"
Sango nodded and smiled. "From what you told me, the pups really want to be out and protecting you like their father is doing. So, no matter that there are two girls and a boy, they will all have his protectiveness of you." She giggled as Kagome laughed softly.
She turned and smiled at her love. "Say. Me and Sango were figuring with all the things happening with the pups I could be due earlier than planned. They've kicked whenever there was danger. So Sango said they'd be like you." She giggled a little at the look on his face.
"Sounds fun. That means I'll be getting help watching you when they get older."
Kagome scowled. "I don't get into danger that often.. Do I?" She thought a little.
"It seems that way." Inuyasha chuckled at her scowl and helped her up as they went back to their hut for the night. So either tomorrow or the next day, I'll have my own family. Thanks to the gods they returned the only woman I ever wanted to be the mother of my pups and the other part of my soul I was missing.
Vola! I hope Jon36155 is glad. By the way, no need to put it harshly, dude. I nearly quit writing after that. I was working on it, as I said in chapter 6! So, everyone else, please be nice with the reviews. Thanks! See ya in the final chapter! Sayonara.
