Kagome and inuyasha decided to make the cave their own home, it was more suited to them than a hut. Inuyasha was thrilled to finally have kagome back and to be able to see his pup growing inside her. They made their way to kaedes hut to visit with the others since kagome hadn't been able to see them since she got back. Sango enfolded her in a hug as she came near. "Kagome, im so glad you are okay." Miroku started to hug her as well but was stopped by a feral growl from inuyasha. Sango looked sheepish "sorry miroku i forgot to tell you that demons do not let other males near their mates when they are so vulnerable like this. Its nothing personal on his part." Miroku sighed and stepped away, causing inuyasha to stop growling and put his arm around kagome. "Why can shippo touch her then?" He huffed as the mentioned fox demon carefully ran to her and hugged her. "Inuyasha apparently thinks of shippo as their own child, since kagome has raised him these past few years. He is no threat to her in his eyes." Miroku accepted defeat, not wanting to be mauled by inuyasha, and helped kaede get dinner ready. The hut was full of happy celebration that night, everyone glad to have kagome back and to remark on her belly and to rub it. "Ooh! I felt it kick!" Sango squealed as her hand laid on Kagome's belly. Inuyasha placed his hand where hers was a moment before and he felt a powerful kick as well. His eyes grew impossibly soft as he looked down at kagome and her stomach. The others quickly excused themselves to give them privacy as inuyasha leaned his ears over her to see if he could hear anything. He was greeted by a heartbeat but something was off about it. He called for kaede, his worry back as he asked her to listen to Kagome's stomach. Kaede nodded and leaned down to kagome, her ear over her belly. Her eyes widened as she realized what inuyasha had heard. This was not going to be good.
