Chapter 4:
Climbing up into her Forest Green 1970 Ford Ranger, Kagome backed out her driveway and headed to Kouga's. She knew his security codes and she needed a friend.
Meanwhile, inside his shower a dirty wolf was getting clean and singing… loudly.
I'm sexy and I know it
I'm sexy and I know it
When I'm at the mall, security just can't fight them off
And when I'm at the beach, I'm in the Speedo trying to tan my cheeks.
This is how I roll, come on ladies it's time to go
We headed to the bar, baby don't be nervous
No shoes, no shirt, and I still get service
Ahh Girl look at that body
I-I-I work out
I'm sexy and I know it
So, into his singing and dancing, the wolf demon did not notice he was no longer alone.
Ahh Girl look at that body
I-I-I work out
"You also need a towel," a familiar female voice laughed from outside his shower curtain.
With a very canine "Yip," Kouga looked out to see a laughing Kagome holding a towel toward him. "I gotta rinse first, be just a minute. No peeking…"
"Oh, the temptation," Kagome groaned dramatically, "don't make me ravage you… I haven't had breakfast yet!"
The two laughed as Kouga made sure he was suds free, "Towel?"
"Here," Kagome said as she tossed it into his clawed hand. "Um, You got anything important planned today?"
Kouga had wrapped his towel dried tail around his bottom half as he dried his hair, "I'd have to check, why?"
"I really need to talk, and you're one of my best friends and pretty much my manager…" Kagome began to ramble.
"Clothes, food, then talk," Kouga delegated, he stepped out as dry as possible with his tail trying to protect Kagome's modesty. He smelled her distress and would clear his calendar; another smell tickled his nose that he decided must be the newly acquired source of such anxiety.
'Damn, why does he hide that body under suits?' Kagome caught herself thinking, and then looking away. 'Horny much?' Kagome scolded herself.
"Tell Kaede whatever you want, I'll be down after I find some pants," Kouga said with a smile.
"No problem…" Kagome replied.
"Yeah, we'll talk about that…" Kouga said evasively before shooing her downstairs the grabbing his phone.
Within seconds Kouga was downstairs in worn jeans and a black shirt on its way to gray.
Kaede was making french toast, while Kouga ate his rare ham covered in syrup.
"Okay babe, what is the problem? Are you worried it will ruin your career, do you want to just be a song writer…?" Kouga began asking as he finished his food and Kagome began hers.
"What?" she nearly choked. How did having sex with Sessh effect her career?
"What does the father say?" Kouga asked as he gently tapped Kagome's back.
"Who's father?" Kagome asked, was there LSD in her French toast... maybe it was in the syrup. She poke the container of syrup with her fork as if it were a threat.
"Your pup's," Kouga said slowly and pointed to Kagome's midsection. Syrup was now forgotten!
"P-P-Pup?" Kagome paled as she clutched her stomach.
"Shit, tell me everything," Kouga said massaging the bridge of the nose between his brows.
Kagome told him everything from Bank, to the dildo, to The Beast, to this morning, leading to now… where she was sobbing in his lap.
He placed a kiss on her crown, "Stress isn't good for the pup. Being part Inu your pregnancy could be as short as 9 weeks, so close to 2 months or being a mix of pure demon and miko the pup would be a form of elemental and the pregnancy could be as long as 5 months. Now, because you are not mated... you can wait to tell Sesshomaru, but I recommend telling him today. Waiting to see if the pup shares his markings is too risky, despite his actions last night and today he isn't stupid."
"Will finishing the album hurt the pup?" Kagome asked rubbing her abdomen.
"That depends on you. You can't over stress or over exert your body…" Kouga began.
"It's a demon miko, is it really so delicate?" Kagome snapped.
"Wow, mood swings right after conception… maybe you'll be alright," Kouga teased as he placed her on the couch and stood up.
"I got some songs to write down, is it cool if I crash here a while?" Kagome asked feeling ready to cry. "And please, just don't tell anyone but Bank I'm here. If anyone else cares, just tell them I went to back home to Ohio to finish writing."
Kouga searched her blue eyes and saw all the emotions and pain fighting for dominance, she needed some time to herself. "No problem girlie, your secret is safe with me. I'll have your truck driven to one of my garages."
"Thank you Kouga, thank you so much," Kagome whispered as she stood up to hug him, "why couldn't you have been the father?" Although whispered in his chest, he heard it and wished the same. It hurt like hell, this whole situation, but he would stand beside her and the pup no matter what happened.
Kouga had told Sesshomaru that an upset Kagome had decided to head back to Cleveland to finish writing. InuYasha, Ayame, Sango, Miroku and Sesshomaru had checked everywhere without a trace of her. She had obliviously not come home to write, Sesshomaru deduced angrily. Each surprise visit to her Nashville home only provided stale air and anger.
*2 months later*
Kagome's two month long separation provided much inspiration and a duet with Hiten, to finish her debut C-D, which they wouldn't release until the pup was born. The pup was a girl, or so the aura revealed to the demon OBGYN, Dr. Kagura Hiro. Whom Kagome was going to play matchmaker with Kouga after she and her pup were settled.
The morning sickness had lasted two weeks and completely stopped recording for Miko. Kouga being worried out of his skull for Kagome and the pup's health called Dr. Hiro.
"Mr. Wolfe, this is perfectly normal for the miko to suffer such extreme morning sickness when carrying such a strong elemental. Just give her plenty of rest."
"Are you sure?" Kouga asked a final time, before Kagome rolled her blue eyes at him. Kouga knew he fretted worse than old woman, but as the pregnancy progressed his pack instincts became stronger toward Kagome and the pup.
"I feel great. We've kept food down for the past three days; I need to do this before I go crazy! It's not stressing the pup or me, we wrote this about a certain asshole and it feels good to let those feelings out," Kagome replied then rubbed her small beach ball stomach and whispered, "Right Sayuri?"
Kagome Higrashi
Stoplight, lock the door.
Don't look back.
Undress in the dark,
And hide from you,
All of you.
You'll never know the way your words have haunted me.
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me.
You don't know me.
You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you.
Wake up in a dream.
Frozen fear.
All your hands on me.
I can't scream.
I can't scream.
I can't escape the twisted way you think of me.
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep.
I don't sleep.
You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you
I can't save your life,
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting.
I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides.
You belong to me,
My snow white queen.
There's nowhere to run, so let's just get it over.
Soon I know you'll see,
You're just like me.
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you.
All I want is you.
All I want is you.
All I want is you.
"Damn, that is harsh," Kouga muttered, he knew Kagome wrote that about her encounter with Sesshomaru's Beast, and instead of the Ice Prince, she now called Sesshomaru the Snow White Queen.
"Since the girls are here, can we do one more and then I promise to nap," Kagome pleaded. Kouga looked to Hiten or Bank for help, but a death glare war was in progress.
"Okay, but then a healthy meal and a long nap," Kouga instructed.
Kagome rubbed where she felt the pups aura strongest and smiled, "Okay Daddy," she teased. Not that the rest of the studio knew it was a joke, everybody assumed the pup was Kouga's. Pure demon with Miko made Elemental demon, and that was the pup's aura.

Do what you, what you want
If you have a dream for better
Do what you, what you want
'til you don't want it anymore
remember who you really are
Do what you, what you want
Your world's closing in on you now
it isn't over
Stand and face the unknown
got to remember who you really are
Every heart in my hands
Like a pale reflection
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
We can break through
Do what you, what you want
You don't have to lay your life down
it isn't over
Do what you, what you want
'til you find what you're looking for
got to remember who you really are
But every hour slipping by
Screams that I have failed you
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
There's still time
Close your eyes
Only love will guide you home
Tear down the wallsand free your soul
Til we crash
We're forever spiraling
Down, down, down, down
Hello, hello
It's only me infecting everything you love
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to learn forgiveness
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
We can break through
Remember who you really are
Do what you, what you want!
"That was great ladies, now time for a promise to be kept. A pup needs fed," Kouga reminded Kagome in his sternest voice.
"Then two more songs, I wrote them before Sayuri, so she needs to hear them," Kagome explained.
The three demons in the sound booth rolled their eyes, but said nothing. It was an argument they never won, this pup was going to experience the world from the safety of Kagome's womb.
"Fine, just get in here and eat, so we can edit while you two girlies nap," Kouga relented. "Rin and Soten, join us too, we got food for you."
Two long couches stretched along the wall as the guys occupied themselves in themselves in office chairs, swivel office chairs. Kagome ate her food like a woman pregnant with a powerful demon, and then napped. Meanwhile the remaining five went over the tracks and made adjustments, the small growls and barks Kagome made while sleeping, only confirmed the beliefs that Kouga was indeed a future father.
