Chapter 26: The Twins Move

It was a few days later and Kira and Sesshomaru were heading to the well and back to the modern era for their extremely late ultrasound appointment.

Inuyasha had come back for a day and Kira had asked him if Kagome could get her rescheduled for another appointment. He agreed and came back within minutes, saying that she had the appointment in two days.

Sesshomaru had placed Rin in his mother's care while they were away, making her swear that she wouldn't harm the little girl.

They were moving quickly to the well and prayed the Takashi wouldn't attempted to kidnap her again.

They reached the well within minutes and jumped down it without hesitating. Once the blue lights faded, they were able to relax.

"Finally. We made it." Kira said as she still held onto her lord.

Sesshomaru nodded and held her close to him as he jumped out of the well. He then escorted her out of the well house and to the shrine.

The back door slid open and out came Kagome. "Kira!"

Kira smiled. "Hey Kags." She hugged her friend once she was close enough. She soon broke the hug and looked around. "Where's Inuyasha?"

"Your father had come by earlier to pick you up and take you to the hospital. But he took Inuyasha instead. He wouldn't stop complaining how much his eye was hurting him." Kagome said as she lead the demons into her house.

"It's hurting him that much?" Sesshomaru asked as he closed the door behind him.

"Yeah. It's been getting worse and worse for a week now." Kagome said as she slowly sat on the couch, releasing a sigh as she relaxed in the chair.

"That's about the same time we rescued my mother." Sesshomaru said as he sat beside Kira, wrapping an arm around her.

"Myoga did say that the pearl was going to react to Inukimi's presence. I guess this is how it's reacting to her." Kira said as she placed a hand on her belly.

Kagome nodded and sighed as she rubbed her belly. "How's everyone been lately?"

Kira smiled. "Shippo is going insane without you. Haku is starting to talk more, which is surprizing everyone. Jaken is losing it with all the kids attacking and playing with him. And Inukimi can't get enough of how cute Rin is. Which is pretty funny because Rin has started calling her Grandma." She said as she giggled.

Kagome smiled and giggled herself. "Inuyasha has just been going nuts over me. Mom let me change the guest room into the baby room until Inuyasha and I find an apartment that's close by to the shrine. He's been job hunting recently, making sure he wears that emerald pendent that your father gave him four years ago."

"I thought he tossed that thing after the party was over?" Sesshomaru asked, remembering that the pendent magically concealed ones demonic features and make a demon pass for human. "I kept mine. Kira has it in her jewelry box back in the castle."

"Yeah. He said he tossed it but he kept it." Kagome said as she just smiled. "He's trying to earn enough money so we can get this nice apartment that's big enough for the three of us. And it's close by too. Only about a mile away from the shrine."

"That's good." Kira said as she smiled at her friend.

She then suddenly gasped and jumped, placing a hand on her stomach. "Oh my god."

"Kira?" Kagome looked at her friend a little worried.

"What's wrong Kira?" Sesshomaru held her hand as he looked at her.

A smile soon appeared on the demoness's face as she took his hand and placed it on her stomach. She smiled lovingly at him as she held his hand firmly on her.

"Kira what....." He gasped as he felt it too. "They're ......moving." It was faint but he could feel the twins moving around under her flesh. "My heirs are actually moving."

"Uh huh." She was smiling proudly at him as he just stared at her belly in amazement.

"So this is what it felt like for my half brother." He mumbled as he felt around Kira's belly for more movement.

Kagome was giggling as how amazed he was while feeling his children's movement.

"Kagome! I'm home!" came Inuyasha's voice from the hallway.

"I'm in the living room!" She called back as she carefully stood up from her chair.

The half demon soon came into the room and smiled seeing his mate, going over to her to kiss her and hug her. He then noticed his half brother and his mate on the couch. "What's wrong with him?"

Kagome giggled. "Their heirs just kicked." She said as she hugged him.

"Oh." He just smirked at his half brother, who didn't seem to notice that he was there.

"What's going on?" Koduku asked as he soon came into the room. He then smiled seeing Sesshomaru and Kira. "Let me guess, the baby just kicked?"

"Yeah. And it's babies Koduku." Inuyasha said as he smirked at the man.

"Babies? You mean she has....Oh my god." Koduku smiled greatly and went over to his daughter, hugging her proudly.

Kagome smiled at them and then looked at her mate. "Well. What's going on with your eye?"

Inuyasha sighed. "Koduku's demon eye doctor said that the pain is getting worse because the pearl is slowly moving closer to the surface of my eye. He said that in about a four days, it'll get so bad that it'll have to be removed. So that's when Sesshomaru will have to remove it."

She nodded and stayed close to him. "How is it now?"

"The pain subsided on the way back. The doctor said that it'll come in waves and i've noticed it comes every three hours. The pain only comes because it's moving. Or so the doctor thinks." He said as he touched his eye a bit.

She nodded and then looked back over at the three on the couch. She laughed seeing Kira pushing the men away and saying that she felt like couldn't breath.

Inutaisho was doing push ups on the shoulder armor of his enormous skeleton. He had his hair tied back with a scrap of cloth that he found laying around on one of the spikes.

He was shirtless as he worked out on the armor. He couldn't find anything suitable to wear and decided to stick with the golden robes.

He got to 249 push ups with he finally collapsed, panting as he lay on the cool metal. "Four....more days......until....i'm out of....here." he mumbled as he looked into the distance. Wish it were sooner until i was out of here. I'm getting tired of eating the meat off those skeletal bird things.

He tired to push himself up only to flop onto the metal. Damnit. I've been training myself too hard. I can't even get up right now. What the hell is wrong with my powers? "Ho....Hosenki!"

The adamant demon appeared out of the neck of the skeletal body and looked at his master. "Yes master?"

"What's....wrong....with me? What's.....wrong......with my....powers?" He said as he looked at the demon.

"It must be the atmosphere here. It must be neutralizing your powers. I experienced the same thing when i came here. Took me about a few months to regain my powers so i could guard your corpse."

Inutaisho groaned as he rolled over onto his back. "And i've got......only four days .....to regain mine."

Hosenki grumbled and then moved closer to his master. "Also. I have news master. Lord Sesshomaru's twins have started moving in his mate's belly."

He smiled greatly as he lay there. "That's....that's fantastic." He then passed out from feeling so exhausted.

Hosenki would have smirked at the fact that his master was smiling in his sleep. He then reached out with adamant arm and carefully picked up the hoarie that Inutaisho had removed before he started doing push ups. He then draped the cloth over his master's bare chest. He didn't want his master catching a cold before he returned to the world of the living.

Naraku was growling as he continuously tapped the arm of his chair. He had been trying to think of a plan to lure out Inuyasha and his group but couldn't think of anything that would do the trick.

He had sent Kagura and Takashi out to find more jewel shards for him. And to find Kohaku, Koga and Kikyo. He had grown tired of his minions complaining and sent them out to find them so he could have some peace.

He groaned as he soon looked at the Shikon jewel in his hand. It had a crack in it big enough for the last four remaining shards. He still dismissed Takashi's rumor of seeing a shard on Kira. He knew for a fact that there were only four shards left to find.

And once i have them all, i'll go after the infent gaurdians and shall be all powerful. He said as he clutched the jewel in his hand and chuckled to himself.
