Chapter 17,
Kagome slowly woke up and she finally opened her eyes. She felt someone tightly gripping her waist and she smiled, shifting so that she could turn around and look up at Sesshomaru.
He looked down at her and smiled. "Good morning." He said softly and Kagome smiled at him. "Good morning to you to." She said and suddenly Kagome's mother yelled up at her from the kitchen.
"Kagome, Sesshomaru, time for breakfast!" She yelled and Kagome stifled a groan and Sesshomaru chuckled. "Well I guess we better get up and get ready before you mom comes up here." He said and Kagome nodded.
She quickly got up and changed into a pair of jeans and a black tank top. She then tied a white jacket around her waist to hide her tail and she put on a black hat to cover her ears.
When Kagome was done she looked back at Sesshomaru. "It's your turn now." She said and he nodded. Sesshomaru quickly got out of bed and Kagome had to then stifle a laugh when he was wearing the pink bunny rabbit boxers that she had gotten him.
Sesshomaru looked over at her and he smirked. He put on almost the same think as Kagome except he was wearing a t-shirt instead of a tank top, and it was white. Sesshomaru put his hair into a low ponytail so that it would hide the points of his ears and he put on a long jacket to hide his tail.
When he was done he looked at Kagome and she nodded her approval. They then quickly walked down stairs and sat down at the kitchen table. Kagome's mom walked over and she put down breakfast.
Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru and smiled at him when he quickly devoured the food and then Kagome did the same. After they were done eating breakfast Kagome then looked over at Sesshomaru and then she turned to her mother.
"We are going to go baby shopping today. I guess we will be back later." She said and her mother nodded. Kagome then went back upstairs and quickly got the children ready.
While she was gone Sesshomaru got up and leaned against the wall. After a bit Kagome's mother walked over to him and she smiled at him.
"I have a question, do you truly love my daughter?" She asked and Sesshomaru looked over at her and nodded. "Yes, I do truly love your daughter." He said without hesitation and her mother nodded. "Good, now have fun baby shopping." She said happily and she quickly left.
Kagome finally came down and she handed Aiden to Sesshomaru and she held Kira. Sesshomaru looked at her and then they both left the house and walked outside.
It was a bright and sunny day and Kagome smiled. She looked over at Sesshomaru. "When we are done shopping we can go and get something to eat at a fast food restaurant." She said and Sesshomaru looked down at her.
"What is a fast food restaurant?" He asked and Kagome smiled. "It is a place were we can get food quickly." She said and Sesshomaru nodded. They quickly walked down the streets towards the mall and Kagome noticed that all the girls that they passed looked at Sesshomaru, while all the boys that they passed looked at Kagome.
Sesshomaru quietly growled when he caught one of the men looking at Kagome and Kagome grabbed free hand. Sesshomaru gripped it back at smiled at her. His hand had grown back about a month ago and he was very thankful because of that.
After a little bit more walking they finally made it to the mall. They had put enough cloths on the children to hide their true identities so they would not be called freaks and so both Kagome and Sesshomaru were not worried.
When they got to the mall, Kagome instantly walked over to and grabbed a stroller that would fit two children. Kagome put Aiden and Kira in and then she pushed the stroller into the baby cloths store. The whole time they were shopping Kagome was surprised about how many people stopped to look at their children. Although their children's true identity was almost uncovered when a much older couple asked to hold them. Kagome had quickly declined; politely of course, and then sent the older couple on the way.
After about two hours of shopping they finally finished at the mall. Kagome smirked when she looked at what they had bought two strollers, two cribs, cloths, food, toys, and diapers. Sesshomaru looked at her.
"Do we really need all of these things?" He asked and Kagome quickly nodded. "Yep, now on to lunch." She said quickly and Sesshomaru nodded, really wanting to taste this 'fast food'.
They walked a ways and finally got to the Wacdonald's. They walked in and Kagome ordered for Sesshomaru and herself and then they went and sat down. Kagome looked down at Sesshomaru.
"I hope that we defeat Takai soon. I would like some peace for once." She said and Sesshomaru quickly nodded and he leaned down to her and smirked at her. "Yeah, and then we could have a few more children." He said and Kagome furiously blushed a deep red.
Kagome could not get out any response and before she said anything the waiter came with their food. Sesshomaru looked suspiciously at his burger and he then looked back up at Kagome.
"Are you sure this food is edible?" He said slowly and Kagome laughed, nodding. "Don't worry, it is perfectly safe to eat." She said and Sesshomaru unwrapped his burger. He quickly took a bite and Kagome could see the pleasure of the taste in his eyes.
Sesshomaru loved the taste of the burger and he looked up at Kagome. "This is the best thing I have tasted in a long time!" He said happily and Kagome laughed again.
They stayed there a while because Sesshomaru ended up ordering a few more burgers. Kagome groaned and realized that Sesshomaru was just like Inuyasha when it came to eating new foods.
When Sesshomaru was finally finished Kagome smirked up at him. He inwardly groaned and knew that nothing good was going to come out of what would come next.
Kagome smirked and she got up. "It is time for cloths shopping. I will need some battle cloths and some other cloths that are not just Kimonos." She said and Sesshomaru just looked at her. Sesshomaru was about to protest but when he looked back up at her, she was already heading out of the food joint.
Sesshomaru walked behind her and knew that there was no point arguing because Kagome would, in the end, win. When they got to the store Kagome handed the stroller to Sesshomaru and she asked him to watch the children.
Kagome looked around the store and walked to almost every cloths rack to find the perfect fighting outfit. After a bit she finally found the perfect outfit. Kagome walked outside the store and she looked at Sesshomaru.
"I am going to change into my outfit. I will be done in a little bit." She said and he nodded quickly, wanting to go back to their home. Kagome walked back into the store and she quickly grabbed her cloths and went to the dressing room.
She changed into her cloths and smirked when the outfit was perfect. She quickly paid for her cloths and walked outside and she looked at Sesshomaru, who was now trying to quiet the whining children. Kagome looked at him, and she smiled.
"We can go ahead and leave." She said and Sesshomaru quickly stood up and then they left the store. When they started to walk home Kagome heard a familiar voice call out her name. Kagome turned around and say Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi.
Kagome smiled at them and Sesshomaru turned around and looked at Kagome's three friends. Yuka was the one in front and she quickly ran over and hugged Kagome. Kagome smiled and looked at all of her friends.
"Hi guys, man it has been so long since I have seen the three of you!" She said and they all nodded. Eri looked from Kagome to Sesshomaru and then to the children.
"Well Kagome, are you going to introduce us?" She asked and Kagome nodded. She pointed towards Sesshomaru. "This is Sesshomaru, he is my husband and these are my children, Aiden and Kira." She said.
Next think Kagome knew her eardrums were ringing when all three of her friends squealed and they looked at the children. Ayumi looked at her and smiled.
"They are so cute. I hope I have children as cute as these!" She said and Kagome just smiled. Sesshomaru then looked at Kagome, who smiled up at him, and he pointed to Yuka and Eri, who where just staring at him.
Kagome got the hint and she looked at her three friends. "We have to go but I hope to see you again." She said and then she felt slightly guilty when her friends gave her a sad look.
End the end Kagome waved bye to her friends and she looked up at Sesshomaru. "I know that they are my friends but now, since I am a demon, their high pitched squeals really hurt my ears." She said and Sesshomaru quickly nodded.
They were walking and they came upon a crosswalk across the main road. Sesshomaru crossed first with the stroller and then Kagome crossed. Little did they know a robber in a stolen car was racing towards them and Kagome was in the way.
Kagome heard the car coming and she looked and saw a car racing towards her. She heard Sesshomaru yell her name but it was lost in the screams of the crowd. Suddenly her instincts came in just as the car was about to run her over and she then jumped up, doing a flip in midair and landed safely on the other side of the car.
The car squealed to a stop and Kagome grabbed her hat, where her ears were, and she looked at the men coming out. Kagome could hear the sirens of the police coming so she decided that she could always just run.
Before Kagome had a chance to get anywhere the two men pulled out automatic pistols and aimed them at her. Sesshomaru was about to walk to her help but Kagome shook her head and he backed down.
The older man looked at her. "How in the hell did you do that!?" He yelled and Kagome smiled at him. "If you eat your green vegetables and exercise every day you could do that to." She said and the men did not believe her.
Kagome looked up at them and decided that this was not going to end well. She took one step to the left but a gunshot to the ground beside her made her stop.
The gunshot made her temporarily lose her hearing so she could not hear Sesshomaru yelling at her. He was not saying her name thankfully but a few people still might know her.
Kagome then looked behind her and saw that the police were just now getting there. Kagome smirked and turned to the men. "I suggest you give up." She said and they laughed. Just them Kagome ran at them with blinding speed and knocked the older one out before he could fire his gun at her again. When she turned around she felt a blinding pain in her shoulder and she looked at the younger man and she realized that he had shot her.
Kagome growled and she quickly knocked that one out to. She did not get a chance to look around because she ran so quickly back to the shrine.
Sesshomaru had seen what had happened and he knew where she would go. He pushed the buggy and their luggage as fast as he could and went back to Kagome's house.
When he got there he saw Kagome leaning against the well house door grasping her shoulder. He put the stroller and the luggage against the house and walked over to her.
He noticed that she had lost a lot of blood but he knew her demonic blood should heal the wound quickly. Kagome looked up at him and smiled weakly. "Sorry about that." She said and Sesshomaru shook his head. "Don't apologize. Right now we need to get you bandaged up." He said and Kagome nodded. She got up, with his help and walked into the house.
Sesshomaru got the stroller and their luggage and walked in as well. When he got inside he noticed Kagome's mother quickly running around the house looking for something to help and he walked over to her.
"Will you be okay?" He asked softly and Kagome nodded. "Yeah, although I do have one favor to ask you. The bullet is still inside my shoulder and I need you to grab take it out." She said and Sesshomaru hesitantly nodded.
Kagome took off her shirt and was left in her bra. Sesshomaru grabbed a towel and cleaned up her wound and he looked up at Kagome. "Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded. He quickly plunged his claws into the wound and he noticed that Kagome was suppressing a scream. He felt for the bullet and when he felt it he quickly pulled it out.
Sesshomaru then looked up at Kagome and she smiled her thanks at him and then promptly passed out. Sesshomaru was panicked for a second but then Kagome's mother came in. She glared at him and he flinched.
"What happened!?" She demanded and he looked at the floor. "A driver almost hit her but she managed to dodge it and in the end managed to take them out but got shot in the process." He said and then watched as Kagome's mother bandaged the wound.
Sesshomaru took the crying children to their room and put them to sleep. Sesshomaru walked back downstairs and he sat by the now sleeping Kagome. Her mom came back in and Sesshomaru looked at her.
"Will she be okay?" He asked and she nodded. "Yes, somehow her wound is healing quickly so in the end all she will really need is lots of rest." She said and Sesshomaru nodded.
They would go back tomorrow when Kagome was awake and then they would go back home. Sesshomaru picked up Kagome and carried her back to their room and put her on the bed. He quickly covered her up and then he laid down beside her and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Sango got up and she walked outside and went to the garden. She sat down and stayed in the warmth of the sun and hoped that Kagome would come back soon. She was bored out of her mind and she was stuck with a perverted monk and a lovesick miko and half-demon.
Sango then got back up and walked inside. She had a strange feeling while she was outside like someone was watching her. She had also felt the strange aura. It was almost like the person, or demon, was hiding their aura. Sango decided that she would talk about it when Sesshomaru got back.
