Chapter 3
A grave problem
Kagome's POV
Just as I was about to lay down another baby started to cry, saying it wanted something. I shuffled barley awake towards the crib while my four babies lay. Of course it was Kovin
who was crying, the other three were actually pretty good. Kovin always seemed to want to be with me at all times, no matter what I was doing. "Come here baby." I cooed to
soothe him. I reached in to grab Kovin and gently lifted him into my arms. It felt right to have him in my arms, while all my babies. I went and sat down on the rocking chair mama has
placed in my room for me. I rocked Kovin as I sang him my lullaby; soon his little eyes were fighting to stay awake. I sighed as I stared at Kovin, each of them look like their father in
some way. It broke my heart looking at them and thinking about how he had abandoned us. How he chose to be with her after he asked me to stay with him.
My blood boiled just at the thought of how many lies he that feed me, yet I curse myself at the same time for being so weak and falling in love with him. There was a soft knock at my
door. "Come in." I half whispered. Mama came with a bunch of blankets in her arms. "Kagome, why don't you go take a shower then have a nap." She said as she sat down on my
bed. "I have to stay here with the babies." I told her. Mama smiled and replied. "I shall watch them." "Are you sure?" I asked her. Mama nodded and smiled. "Of course, they are my
little grandchildren. Plus it makes me feel as if I'm watching you and Sota when you were both babies." I smiled at the thought; I always loved to help mom out with Sota when I
could.
I got up from the rocking chair went over to the crib to place Kovin done. I gave mama a quick kiss and hug as I left my bedroom. As I stepped into the shower all of my emotions I
have had blocked came crashing down. Each one feeling as if it was crushing me until there was nothing left, I was beyond repair ever since that day. My friends tried to piece me
back together, soon they realized no matter what their effects were in vain. The only time I would feel sort of okay were the moment of my babies. When they just started to move
inside of me or kick, I felt somewhat okay. At times I am beyond gratefully for the four of them; they help me keep my mind busy. But when I'm along with nothing to distract me
everything comes crashing down, the emotions that have been bottled up for the past year. The thing I fear most is that at times I cannot help but wonder if I will be able to raise all
four babies on my own? Soon the hot water came to an end with it washing away my emotions.
As I dress in my Pj's I felt something deep inside of me, something that only my miko powers are able to detect. It was faint but I was pretty sure that it is the sacred jewel. My eyes
went wide at what that meant; I quickly dashed down stairs and ran to the well house. I raced down the stairs and peered into the well finding nothing, I doubled checked to make
sure that the seal I have placed on it was still there. Where was I sensing the jewel from? Soon it seemed to be surrounding me, coming from all directions. I closed my mind in
concentration as I closed off my miko powers so I would not be able to detect it again. Just the thought of knowing that the jewel was close by was a hard fact for me. It brought
back all those memories that went along with it. As I started to walk out of the well house, I got this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, a feeling that did not feel good. Soon the
well house was a light with a blue glow. I slowed turned around to face the well. There he stood; my hands flew to my heart where the pain began to happen again. Our eyes locked
for what seemed like ages, until he reached out towards me. "Kagome." No, this cannot be happening; I sealed off the well for good. There should be no way that Inuyasha is
standing in front of me. The pain in my heart was soon too much; I let the black water drag me under.
Inuyasha's POV
All of us gathered around the centre of the village waiting for Kikyo, where she told us she would meet us. As we waited Sango was playing with her twin girls Amaya and Mika. Each
girl had a certain amount of each parent in each other them. Whenever I look at them I wonder who our children look like more, Kagome or me? "Sango, are you sure you want to be
out here? It would be safer inside the hut." Miroku's voice snapped me out of my gaze. He was so protective of Sango and his little girls, at times it would get so bad where Sango
had to knock him out for her to be able to get stuff done. "Miroku, will you please stop, were fine out here." Sango's said. No matter how much Miroku begged there was no way that
Sango was going to miss this. This may be her only chance for her to get her best friend back. My mate, my demon side thought. Yes, I have decided that as soon as I see Kagome, I
am going to mark her, showing her off to everyone that she is mine, and only mine.
"Inuyasha, what time is Kikyo going to be here?" Sango asked. "She told be around noon." I answered back. "Inuyasha, may I speak with you for a moment?" Miroku asked. I
nodded and followed him off to the side of the road, out of hearing range of Sango. I stood in front of Miroku with my arms crossed, "What's up?" I asked. I heard Miroku signed
softly before saying. "Inuyasha, how do you know that you can trust Kikyo?" I raised an eyebrow. "What are you getting at?" Miroku looked over at Sango and the twins. "What I'm
getting at is that how do we know we can trust her? She has in the past tried to slay Kagome in order for her to have no competition over you." He looked back at me and continued.
"How do you know she will not harm Lady Kagome? Or your pups in an effort to get back at you for not dying with her?" Honestly I did not even know what to say. Miroku had a
point, how can we trust Kikyo? I thought about what I was going to say for a while. "It is a chance I'm going to have to take." I told him. "I hope nothing bad comes out of this."
Miroku said as he started to walk back to Sango.
Kikyo's scent soon appeared so I return to the village centre. "Inuyasha, I trust you have gathered all the supplies that are needed?" Kikyo asked as soon as I reached the village
centre. "Yes I have collected all of them. But first I have a question." Kikyo's face was emotionless. "The reason I had to send Kagome away, will that still be a threat?" I asked. You
could tell by the look of Miroku and Sango's face they had yet to even think about that. There was a flash of something in Kikyo's eyes; I just could not place on my finger on what it
was. "I believe there should be no danger, as she has been away from it for some time now." Kikyo relied. I nodded my head and started walking in the direction towards the well. It
seemed to talk forever to get to the well. I kept my pockerface on the whole way there but on the inside it was like I was a happy little kid again, before all those hard times came. I
sort of become more guarded and emotionless since Kagome has been going.
It seemed like she was the one who helped me to be open about this, how to be happy. I had not told anyone yet but I brought with me the sacred jewel, just in case I was not
able to get back. I would wish on it to become human to be with Kagome in her time. We had just reached the well when I noticed a barrier around it. I stopped just a little way
before but Kikyo continued on. She placed both hands on it and closed her eyes. When she opened them back up the barrier vanish. "I had to place on here, so nothing can be able
to disrupt this sacred ritual." Kikyo told us. She motioned us to enter gather around the well. Once we were all in, she placed the barrier back up. She got straight to work doing the
ritual.
To be honest with you I did not pay any attention to what was going on around me. I kept looking at the well, and the thought that is soon might bring me to Kagome. Kikyo's voice
brought me out of my little world. "Inuyasha, I must need your blood to open up the path." I held out my left hand with the palm facing her. She slashed it with a dagger, she let the
blood pool on the dagger, and she walked over the well and let the blood fall in. Soon the blue glow was filling the space around us. "It is open now." Kikyo told me. I took one look
at my friends and said. "I'll bring her back." I jumped into the well and was transported to Kagome's time. As soon as my feet touched the grounded I jumped up onto the ledge. My
breathing caught, there she was, Kagome. She was walking up the stair when she stopped and slowly turned around. Her eyes widened, her hands going to her heart. Our eyes
locked, I tried to read the emotion she was feeling. I started to reach out towards her and said. "Kagome." I was going to run to her for a hug when she fainted.
