Chapter Four
SOMEWHERE IN THE HEART OF THE FOREST
Kouga woke up slowly, his cobalt eyes adjusting to the dim light inside the heart of the cave he found yesterday. He was always the first one up in the morning wanting to go for a morning run before hunting something down for breakfast.
His eyes traveled to Ginta and Hakkaku who were curled up together among the wolves as they used each other as pillows. A small smile crept to his lips knowing that those two were inseparable having been best friends since they were pups.
Slowly Kouga began to pull himself to his feet and stretched his hands over his head. Then letting out a yawn that showed his white fangs he walked out the cave not wanting to disturb the others. But as soon as he was out of earshot he began to run with a burst of speed. He was making good time despite the fact that he felt incredibly heavy.
'Must have been that meal we ate yesterday finally catching up with me,' he thought to himself. He was halfway across the forest when he tripped over a tree root and before he could grab a tree branch to steady himself it broke under his incredible wait.
BACK AT SESSHOMARU'S CASTLE.
"I feel like I'm in elementary school all over again," grumbled Faith pouting. Her foxtail lashed from side to side as she tried to obediently sit still and behave herself.
"Shush, he might send us to time out if we talk out of turn," Julie widens her eyes in mock fear and clutched her headless Ringo. "So fun."
"Does Julie have screw loose?" Rin looked at the fairy in curiosity.
"No I have it all up there in the attic I just like to redecorate it occasionally," Julie said proudly.
"Enough small talk," Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and the three girls fell silent. "When I point to you then you speak otherwise if I don't you stay silent," he ordered then sighed. "What is it Rin?"
"Can Rin go to the bathroom?" Rin was rocking back and forth as she raised her hand up in the air.
"Fine, fine you can go to the bathroom," Sesshomaru waved his hand to dismiss her. But even though the human got up she still stood there hopping from foot to foot. "What is it now?" he asked in exasperation as she waved her hand in the air.
"Can someone please come with Rin? Jaken said that if I don't watch out the toilet monster will eat my toushie," whined Rin as she clutched her fingers on her rump. "Rin don't want Rin's toushie to be eaten," she was close to tears at this point.
"Jaken you take her to the bathroom. And tell her the truth about the toilet or I'll be offering you up next to the… what was it again?" Sesshomaru looked at Faith for the answer.
"Toilet Monster, Sesshy," Faith smiled happily.
"Yes, yes toilet monster," Sesshomaru said. He then waved the human girl and toad youkai off. "Now as for you two…" he began then let out a growl. "What is it now?"
"Ringo has to go potty too," Julie whined dancing the plushy from foot to foot.
"It's a stuffed monkey," Sesshomaru sighed and started to rub his temples.
"Sesshy don't say that or he'll hear you," Faith quickly took up the monkey's little head. Her fingers firmly clamped over its plushy ears.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at his kitsune mate the sound of accusation dripping from his words.
"Every moment of it," she practically purred out. "Besides you look so cute when you're pissed." Faith smiled happily despite the killing aura now coming off of Sesshomaru.
"How can you tell he's pissed? I barely see a facial expression on him," Julie looked at Faith in confusion.
"Weeeelllll," she drew out the word nice and long before continuing. "I took 'Sesshomaru's Expression 101' class. It's not as easy as it might seem," sighed Faith thoughtfully before pulling out a small chart that had Sesshy's face on it. "Okay when he looks like this he's happy."
"He's not even smiling," Julie admonished. She took up the little charts in flipped through most of them. "They all look the same," she scowled.
"Well to the untrained eye of course they look the same. But when his eyebrows move this way and his lips turn this way it means he's hungry. Or if they move downward this way with his eyes moving an inch downward that means he's sleepy," Faith chatted animatedly.
"So wait what does this mean?" Julie asked as she held up a picture of Sesshomaru smiling.
Faith nearly shivered at that picture and laid it face down on the ground. "Normally when someone smiles it means they are happy or contented. But for Sesshomaru it means run for your lives he's going to skewer you on his sword then skin you alive," Faith shivered.
"So wait what does this picture me when he's frowning like that?" Julie asked curiously starting to get into this.
"ENOUGH! WHY DID I EVEN BOTHER?!" Sesshomaru yelled and stomped off out of the room.'
"And as you see right there that's him being extremely pissed," Faith nodded her head. Then quickly getting up she followed her mate to comfort and apologize to him.
"Wow and here I thought I was the one with the problems." Julie smiled down at her headless Ringo. "Come one we are going to have to tape your head back on before visiting the dog man again," she said happily.
WITH KOUGA, FOUR HOURS LATER STILL ON THE GROUND
"I've fallen and I can't get up," cried out the wolf youkai for what seemed the twentieth time. He had fortunately twisted his body enough so he could land on his back making him realize the new addition to his person for the first time. He looked accusingly at his bulging belly wondering what the hell happen when he heard a noise.
"So we aren't the only one with this problem," Miroku commented thoughtfully as he looked at the fallen wolf prince.
"It's like he's a turtle laid on his back. I don't think he'll be able to get up on his own no matter how he tries," Kagome said sympathetically.
"It's what he deserves," grumbled Inuyasha then he walked towards Kouga. "Hey you dumb wolf why can't you get up?" Inuyasha smirked.
Kouga's eyes flew open after a few minutes to stare into a pair of golden eyes.
"It's all your fault you turd," growled Kouga ready to get up and beat him to death.
"You can't even get up rocks for brains," laughed Inuyasha.
"Well you try having a belly like… well you do actually," Kouga realized and blinked in confusion. "What did you do to get us this way?"
"Me? Me! I did nothing. Some crazy little girl is running around making all the guys pregnant because her plushy wishes it so," Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"So I'm… I'm…" Kouga couldn't get the words out.
"Yep you're pregnant and so are me and Miroku," Inuyasha sighed combing his fingers through his hair.
"Well can you at least help me up? I would but I can't bend the right way anymore," Kouga relented and looked at Inuyasha.
"Why should I?" Inuyasha grumbled crossing his arms across his chest.
"Because if you don't I swear I'm going to sit you baby or not," growled Kagome accusingly.
"FINE I'LL DO IT!" yelled Inuyasha and grabbed Kouga's hands and began to tug. "God you weigh a ton."
"You probably way more than me," scuffed Kouga.
"Well at least I look better pregnant then you do," Inuyasha countered.
"Whatever because someone has been lying to you," Kouga laughed.
"Fine, then get up on your own," growled Inuyasha and let go of Kouga's hands so that the wolf youkai fell on his rump.
"What the hell Inuyasha!" growled Kouga.
"I don't care if he's pregnant or not I'm not taking any crap from him," Inuyasha hissed and pulled out his sword but it didn't transform. "What the hell?"
"Kagome does this mean you're the mother of my baby?" Kouga asked as he turned his head to Kagome who was looking at them both curiously.
"I… wha!" Kagome exclaimed.
"If she's anybody's baby mother then she's mine," Inuyasha hissed.
"No mine," growled Kouga still on the ground.
"NO MINE!" shouted.
"Didn't know you had it in you Kagome," Miroku smiled at Kagome in wonder and admiration.
"I'M NO ONES BABY MOMMA! I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN KISSED YET!" Kagome howled out her face beat red.
"Maybe it's a bad time to come," Julie sighed making her presence known then she was already started to vanish again.
"NO YOU STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR I SWEAR I'LL RIP THE MONKEY KING TO SHREDS!" cried out Kagome and grabbed her plushy holding it over her head.
"God what do people have against my plushy," whimpered Julie.
