Chapter 28: Sleepy Mornings
Inutaisho was sitting on the shoulder armor of his corpse again, just looking up at the sky. He was incredibly bored since he finished his training. He even managed to reawaken his powers yesterday and practiced all day and late into the night.
He sighed as he looked up at the unchanging sky. "I wonder what's going on out there." He mumbled to himself and he watched a few skeletal birds fly overhead.
Hosenki then came up and sat behind the grat demon lord. "Two more days master."
Inutaisho nodded. "I know. And i'm so bored now." He said as he leaned back and layed down on the armor. "Any news from the outer world?"
"Nothing to report. But Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kira are planning to return to the Feudal Era in the morning to hunt down Naraku. Lord Inuyasha is going with them as well. I heard that Lady Kagome's mother is going to be taking care of her while he is gone."
"That's good i guess." He said as he sighed again. "The sooner they kill Naraku the safer the young guardians will be."
"Also, Lord Inuyasha is worried that you are not going to accept him or his child."
"He fears i won't accept him or my granddaughter?" He asked as he looked at the demon. "Is it because he's a half demon?"
"I believe so my master."
"He shouldn't think that way. He's my son, it doesn't matter to me if he's a half demon or not. And the same goes for my grand daughter." He said as he looked at the skull demon.
"You will have to tell him that once you are back in the world of the living."
"I'm going too. He should know that." He said as he looked back up at the clouds. Inuyasha. You are my son. Nothing is ever going to change that. Nothing at all.
Inuyasha groaned the next morning as he woke up to his right eye hurting again. He could have sworn he heard his father speak to him in his sleep just before he woke up.
He sat up in Kagome's sleeping bag and rubbing his eye. He then glanced over at his sleeping pregnant mate and smiled. He thought she looked so beautiful asleep and pregnant with their grand daughter.
When they moved into her mother's house, they discovered that they couldn't both be in the small bed. So Inuyasha choose to sleep on the floor in her sleeping bag. At first she didn't like the idea of him sleeping on the floor but soon realized that she could sleep better with the whole bed to herself. Plus he was still there with her if she ever needed anything.
Inuyasha sighed softly and quietly got out of the sleeping bag. He then went to the closet and grabbed his fire rat robes. He was going back to the feudal era with Sesshomaru and Kira to track down Naraku. He had a feeling that the demon might have relocated since he and his brother went to rescue Kira and Inukimi.
He had just put on his pants and undershirt when Kagome stirred.
He looked over to her and smiled. "Hey."
"Hey." She said sleepily as she pulled the covers close around her to keep warm. "What are you doing up so early Inuyasha?"
He smiled and went over to the side of her bed while pulling on the haorie. "I'm going back with Sesshomaru and Kira today remember?" He said as he stroked her soft hair. "We're gonna try and see if we can track him down before my old man comes."
She nodded and yawned. She then groaned as she snuggled into the covers more.
"You okay Kagome?" He asked as he looked at her a little worried.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just really sleepy. Sukimaru wouldn't stop squirming inside me during the night." She said before she yawned again. "She finally calmed down around 2 in the morning."
He couldn't help but smirk at her. "I guess she probably knows that i'm going to be leaving for a few days." He said as he placed his hand on her where her belly was under the covers. "You sure your gonna be okay while i'm gone?"
She nodded. "Uh huh. I'll be fine. Mom and grandpa are gonna help out as much as they can. Even Sota promised to help me ot as much as he can."
He nodded and kissed her on her cheek. "I promise i won't be gone to long. Not even Naraku can keep me away from you and our baby." He said as he grabbed his Cloaking Bracelet off the nightstand and put it on. He also picked up the golden heart locket that she had given years ago with their pictures in them and put that on as well. "This locket will always remind me who's waiting for me."
She smiled softly and snuggled into the covers again.
"Get some sleep Kagome. I'll be back in three days. I promise." He said as he kissed her on the forehead.
"Be sure that you do. Or i'll come after you and drag you home." She said before she fell to sleep again.
He couldn't help but laugh at that. To think that the roles had been reversed and she was the one coming after him now.
He kissed her on the forehead again and then quietly left the room, making sure he picked up Tetsusaiga before he left.. He tucked the locket under his undershirt and headed downstairs.
Sesshomaru was awake and watching TV with Kira, who was asleep on his shoulder. He was also dressed in his feudal clothes and with his arm around Kira, the end of his sleeve covering her slowly growing belly. To Inuyasha, she looked right look Kagome did at five months.
The demon lord then looked up when he noticed his brother was in the room. "You ready?"
"Yeah. Kagome woke up and i had to let her know that i was leaving for a few days." He said as he grabbed Kagome's yellow bag and started digging through it. "She forgot to pack the ramen again."
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes as Inuyasha went into the kitchen to find his favorite food. He then looked to Kira and gently shook her. "Kira."
She groaned and slowly opened her eyes. "I was having a good dream ya know?"
He just smirked. "Was it about me?"
She smiled. "Yes it was. And you were beating Naraku with a stick."
"Was i winning?"
"Yes." She said as she snuggled closer to him. "It was very entertaining."
He smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Don't fall back to sleep just yet Kira. Once Inuyasha gets his ramen, we have to leave and go back to the fuedal era."
"Then can i go back to sleep?"
He nodded. "Yes. Then you can go back to sleep."
She smiled and snuggled him.
Inuyasha soon came back with an arm load of ramen and saw Kira was awake. "Morning Kira."
She looked over at him and waved. "Morning Inuyasha. Kagome forget your ramen again?"
"Yeah. Luckily i noticed before we left." He said as he packed the ramen into the bag.
Kira nodded and snuggled close to Sesshomaru again.
"Kira. Don't fall asleep." Sesshomaru said as he shook her again. "It's not easy jumping into that well while carrying you bridal style."
"What do you mean?" She asked as she looked at him.
"I mean that i worry if i might hit your head against the side of the well." He said as he looked at her. "I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
She smiled and kissed him. "Nothing bad is going to happen to me. Or our children for that matter."
"You got kidnapped by Naraku." Inuyasha pointed out as he stuffed the last cup of ramen into the bag.
"Yes but nothing bad happened to me while i was with him. He just kept me in a room with Inukimi." She said as she sat up and rubbed her belly. "And you guys did rescue me the next day anyway."
"That's true." Sesshomaru said as he sat up off the couch. "if it wasn't for you premonitions. We would never had known about it. Let alone be prepared."
"I'm just glad we got you two back together before Sesshomaru went into a blood rage." Inuyasha said as he picked up the bag and put it on his shoulder.
Kira laughed softly as she slowly got up and stood next to Sesshomaru.
They then all quietly left the house and headed toward the well.
It was around mid day and everyone was heading south to see if Naraku really had moved. Inukimi was with them and riding on Ah Un with Rin, Jaken, and Haku. Kira was walking beside Sesshomaru, arm in arm with him. Inuyasha was walking behind them with Kagome's bag. Sango and Miroku were walking beside Ah Un, talking with Inukimi and making sure their son was safe.
Sesshomaru. Kira said softly in Sesshomaru's mind.
What is it Kira?
There's something i forgot to tell you this morning that couldn't be said in front of Inuyasha.
What is it? Is something going to happen to him?
In a way. I had a vision this morning before you dragged me downstairs.
What was the vision about?
Kikyo is coming back. Inuyasha is going to tell her that it's over between them and that he's with Kagome now.
Anything else? He asked as he glanced at his brother behind them.
I couldn't really tell but i think she's going to do something to his right eye.
Well if this is to happen in a week he should be fine. Father comes out tomorrow night.
No Sesshomaru. I think your father is going to come out TODAY.
What? He looked at her in confusion. Today?
Yes. Today. I could sense the urgency in the vision. Kikyo is going to do something to him that'll force the pearl to come out.
I'll have to keep an eye on him tonight then. Follow him when he isn't looking.
Sounds like a good idea. Kagome would probably kill us if anything happened to him.
Knowing her, she probably will. He said as they continued walking.
Sasuke: For Kira's dream, think of the chibi forms of Naraku and Sess and Sess has a big stick in his hand. Naraku is next to him and crying as he is being beaten with the stick. That's how i was picturing it. lol. Aren't i just so evil? hehe.
Sess: Why must you have me act so foolishly?
Sasuke: [screams] Where did you come from?!
Sess: [glares at her and points at the ceiling] From the attic where you have been hiding me from all those crazy girls who won't stop following me.
Sasuke: [sighs] That was months ago. They're all gone now.
Sess: [nods and then heads out of her room]
Sasuke: Where are you going?
Sess: to get some fresh air. The air in your attic is awfully stale.
Sasuke: Alright then. [sighs happily at protecting her man.] Anyway. please read and reveiw. AND QUIT CHASING MY SESSY-KUN! HE'S MINE!
