Chapter 9
Everyone was having a blast at the reception; and everyone was dancing. Koga and Kagome couldn't more thrilled. She did wish that Inuyasha would've shown up, but when she thought it over, she knew he would probably put a damper on things. He was never fond of her being called Koga's woman, and he just wasn't fond of the fact that he was a wolf.
"Kagome…? What's wrong?" Sango asked, bringing Kagome back to reality.
"Oh, nothing. Just thinking is all."
"About Inuyasha?"
Kagome nodded slowly.
"I asked him if he would join Miroku and I, but he didn't want to come. He'd figure it would worry you or upset you…"
Kagome sighed, crossing her arms over her chest, looking out into the distance. She looked over her shoulder and let out a light giggle when she saw Koga being swarmed by the tribe. They were all so happy for their leader that he finally got married, and now they would have a queen. Sango wrapped her arm around Kagome's shoulder and sighed.
"Sango! Kagome!" Miroku shouted, as he walked down the hill to his friend and wife.
"Hey, Miroku…" Kagome said, as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm so happy for you, Kagome."
"Thanks, Miroku."
Miroku released Kagome and wrapped his arm around his wife's waist. They looked at each other and both nodded.
"Kagome…?" They said in unison.
"What is it?" Kagome asked, with a concerned look on her face.
"We want you to have this…" Sango whispered, as she pulled out a necklace with a pendant from her pocket.
"Oh…" Kagome whispered, holding a hand over her mouth, "What is it…? It's beautiful."
"It's a pendant. Miroku received this as a reward after he helped a villager with evil spirits in their home, and we figured we give it to you."
Kagome reached out and took a hold of the black chain and gazed at the pendant. It was a sapphire blue pendant and it was the most beautiful thing Kagome has ever seen.
"What…does it do…?" She asked, looking at.
"What does what do?" Koga asked as he wrapped his arm around his bride.
"This…" Kagome showed Koga the pendant; "They gave it to me as a wedding gift."
Koga placed his hand under the pendant and looked at in amazement; though he didn't know what it did…it was beautiful. Miroku rubbed Sango's shoulders as he smiled over at Kagome and Koga. They were both in awe by the pendant; Koga and Kagome had the exact same reaction that he and Sango did when they first saw it.
"Kagome…" Miroku said, walking over to them. "Let me see your left hand."
"Why…?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Just let me see it."
Koga eyed the monk carefully; he had no idea what he was doing. He better not try anything with Kagome. Koga thought, as his grip on Kagome's shoulder tightened. Kagome winced a little at the pain, and Koga immediately loosened his grip.
"Sorry." He whispered.
Miroku took hold of Kagome's left hand, and turned her hand to where her palm was facing the sky. He took the pendant out of Kagome's other hand and held it in front of his face. Before he did anything else, he smiled at the two of them.
"This pendant is a special pendant. Do you believe in myths, Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"Depends…"
"Well, this is a myth you might want to believe."
"Why…?"
"The myth reads, if this pendant moves in a circle you will have a girl; but if it moves forward and backwards you will have a boy. And if you are going to have multiple children, there will be a slight break between each movement."
Kagome looked at Koga, then back at Miroku; but took her hand away, and began to argue.
"Miroku, that's nonsense. Besides wouldn't I have…to…be…."
Kagome stopped mid sentence, when Miroku took her left hand and placed the pendant over her palm. And the pendant instantly began to move in a circle, then it paused, and moved in another circle; Kagome caught her breath as she watched the pendant move in two circles across her palm. Before anyone could interject it paused once more and moved forward and backwards.
Koga watched the pendant move in circles and in a line; they were going to have triplets. Neither of them could believe it.
"I thought you had to be pregnant, for it to work?" Koga whispered, as the pendant began to slow down to a stop.
"Looks like she is." Sango said with excitement as she hugged Kagome.
Miroku placed the pendant in her hand and smiled at Kagome and Koga. He and Sango left the two on the plateau, as they both gazed at the view. More overly, they were both shocked to find out that Kagome was pregnant. Sure, they had planned for it to happen, but this soon was just a surprising shock. It was a good wedding gift to the both of them.
"How far do you think you are?" He whispered.
"Not more than two months, I guess."
Koga smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his hands on her belly. He kissed her cheek before whispering in her ear.
"Here's to the future, Kagome…" He smiled.
He leaned in to kiss her, but Kagome placed a finger on his lips and stopped him.
"No…here's to right now…" She said, while smiling.
Koga nodded as she removed her finger and kissed Koga romantically, as the sun began to set over the waters and their friends continued to cheer and dance.
