Chapter 1: Wedded Bliss
Kagome was dressed for work in a beige skirt and a blue, long-sleeved blouse. She rushed about her morning routine, so that she could have time to cook breakfast. She placed a pan on the stove and put in some oil. The last time she made omelets she forgot to put in the oil and burned the eggs beyond repair. She really didn't want to make Inuyasha run by WacDonald's again for breakfast. It just wasn't healthy…though she wasn't sure how healthy fried eggs were either.
Kagome finally managed to finish cooking and laid out the food on the table. She smiled to herself. Everything looked and smelled good. She sat and waited for her beloved husband to come and join her. They were newly weds, going on their second year of marriage. She sighed to herself. She remembered living in the house for students her freshman year of college and first meeting him. She couldn't imagine the adorable, dog-eared boy she saw asleep at the dinner table would be her adoring husband.
Inuyasha came into the kitchen. He was dressed in his black business suit. He gave Kagome a quick kiss on the lips, grabbed his coat, and was about to leave. "Wait, Inuyasha! I made you breakfast." "I know, it smells great, but I have to go. They need me at the office." He stated apologetically. "Please, just take it with you then." She said. He smiled and picked up the plate. "Here." She said handing him his lunch, a cup of ramen. "I love you." He said softly. "Are you saying that to the ramen or me?" She teased. He scowled. She replied beamingly, "I love you, too." He deeply kissed her before heading out the door.
He gulped down the omelet before he got in his SUV. He had turned in his Kawasaki motorcycle for a 2000 Suzuki Grand Escudo. He and Kagome loved the motorcycle, but needed something more "economical." He sighed as he thought about Kagome. He hoped he hadn't hurt her feelings by not having time to eat at home. Inside, Kagome checked the time on the clock on the wall. It was 7:30AM. She finished eating, grabbed her bag and went to work.
Kagome is a 3rd grade elementary school teacher. She waltzed into the classroom. She was a little offbeat since breakfast didn't go quite the way she would've liked it to. However, she knew that Inuyasha was a good provider because of his work. Sesshomaru had taken over their father's business and insisted Inuyasha had a hand in it, even though the brothers could barely tolerate each other. As a result, Inuyasha had gotten a degree in business in college. Since Inuyasha hadn't had much direction, he didn't see any reason not to work with his father's business and since he had a business degree, if for some reason something didn't work out, he could get a good paying job elsewhere.
Kagome smiled brightly for her class. She loved children and working with them was perfect for her loving, nurturing, and caring personality. She couldn't wait for her and Inuyasha to start a family of their own. After all, they could afford it. They just hadn't discussed it yet.
Their best friends, Miroku and Sango had a good start with their family. Their first born is 3 years old, their second 18 months and now Sango was currently three months pregnant with their third child. Of course, with the way Miroku was, it wasn't a surprise that Sango conceived their first child on their wedding night. Miroku was a real estate agent (he helped Kagome and Inuyasha find their house for a great price) and provided enough that Sango didn't have to work. Sango wanted to go back to work, though. She loved her husband and her two sons, but she had a degree in Interior Design and wanted to do something with it.
Sango and Miroku married relatively early, shortly after they moved in together when they were just out of college. Kagome and Inuyasha waited two years later to get married after they moved in together. Kagome recalled the way he proposed; he had driven her far up into the mountains. A crescent moon hung beautifully in the sky. Stars were strewn across the midnight sky. They sat and gazed at the stars for what felt like hours.
She loved his company, no matter where they were. His favorite places to take her were always places of nature; lakes, forests, parks, and now the mountains. Places like that were the very few places where they could be alone in peace.
Inuyasha was unusually quiet and she didn't think anything of it since he had been working all day. She finally stood up, stretched and said, "Come on, Inuyasha. I'm tired and I know you are, too." She thought he was going to stand up, but he stayed on one knee. He was blushing furiously, but it was too dark for her to tell. He finally rummaged up the courage to look her in the eye and said, "Kagome, having you with me is so natural. Before I realized it, you became a part of me. I can't stand when you're away from me, so I want us to spend the rest of our lives together. Will you?" Kagome felt a cold band slip onto the ring finger of her left hand. She looked down in surprise and she was elated. Inuyasha was unsure of her expression. She was taking so long to respond and was just gaping at the ring. It had three stones set in white gold. She finally looked into his amber eyes and said, "Of course!" Inuyasha sighed in relief and Kagome threw her arms around him. They would begin the start of the rest of their lives.
The school day went uneventfully for Kagome, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. She walked from her classroom and all the children were running out, anxious to their parents, and get home. She remembered when school seemed so difficult and like such torture. Now, she watched the children run about, play, and enjoy such innocence and simplicity. Everything seems so much easier when you're younger and yet, at their tender age, they can't wait to grow up. Watching all these children really made her want one of her own; to see a small image of herself or Inuyasha running about, playing, and to share their love with.
Kagome made dinner and waited for Inuyasha to get home. He was right on time as always. She got up to greet him, excited that he was finally home. She missed him every time they were away from each other. He embraced her tightly and inhaled her scent. "You smell good." He whispered in her ear. She smiled with a slight blush. He still had that affect on her, to make her heart flutter. She hoped that feeling would last forever. "It's the food you smell." She teased. He peered into her brown eyes and smirked, "no it isn't." He caught her lips with his. She broke the kiss, looked into his amber eyes lovingly and asked, "Aren't you hungry?" "Just for you." He sensuously replied.
Before she could react, he pulled her into a deep kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him toward her. He placed his hands on her hips and felt her waist. He kissed her lips, cheek, and made his way to her neck. He nibbled her neck with his lips. She gasped at the shivers he sent through her. Inuyasha was a very passionate person with everything he did. He never ceased to amaze her with every touch and move he made. His hands moved up under her blouse. He never imagined that he would ever have someone that was his to feel, have, hold, and love so freely. He just couldn't resist her when he walked through the door. He picked her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist, and he carried her to the bedroom.
Passionate love was an understatement for what they just finished doing. Kagome couldn't wipe the smile she wore on her face. Inuyasha continued to kiss her lips, neck and shoulders. She swore he was ready for another round. "Inuyasha?" She breathed. He looked at her with half lidded eyes and a smirk. She loved the way his ears always twitched whenever she said his name. She took one of his silver, velvety ears between her fingers and caressed it. She loved the growl that he couldn't help escape from his chest. She loved to feel the rumble vibrate from his chest against her skin. "I've been wondering," she continued, "have you thought about children yet?"
Inuyasha's demeanor grew serious. He wanted to have children, but worried about the kind of father he'd be. He worried that he wouldn't be able to be there for them like his father wasn't able to. What if something happened to him? Kagome would be alone, like his mother was to raise him. "I want kids." Inuyasha said as he looked down at Kagome's abdomen. He knew she wasn't pregnant yet, he could smell it. He looked back up at her. "When?" She asked. "Whenever you're ready." He answered. She smiled brightly and exclaimed, "I want to start now!" "Well, what do you want to have?" He asked her. "I don't care if it's a boy or a girl." She stated. "That's not what I meant," he said, "I mean, do you want a human baby or a hanyou? Actually, it would only be a quarter demon, unless we mated in my demon form." Kagome blushed. Most people didn't have to deal with this topic.
Kagome had learned of Inuyasha's different forms while living in the house for students. She remembered she had been living there for a few months when one evening she had taken a shower, but she had only brought her towel with her to the bathroom. She peered out the door to make sure no one was around and tried to get back in her room, but her door was locked! She had accidentally locked her door on her way to the shower! It had become a habit for her to lock the door from the inside before leaving for work. She apparently worked too much and automatically locked the door now. She was terrified someone would see her, especially since the towel barely covered her thighs. She knocked on Kaede's door. Kaede was the manager of the house and had a spare key. She wasn't home! Kagome had no idea what time she would return, if it was any time soon. So, she knocked on Sango's door. No answer. She was probably at work. Kagome didn't dare ask Miroku for help, the pervert. She sure wasn't going to ask Koga since he had a crush on her. Naraku wasn't friendly at all and she'd rather stand in the hallway or hide in the bathroom until someone came home. Then, there was Inuyasha, sure they were friends, but she didn't want him to catch her like this. She had a crush on him, too, what if her arousal scent spiked or something since she was in a towel and they would be alone together.
She decided to stay in the bathroom until Kaede or Sango came home. She sat and waited. She brushed and dried her hair, then peeked out, wondering if maybe she missed Kaede or Sango come in. She saw a light on in the kitchen. She wasn't sure who it was though. She peered from around the corner and in the reflection of the stove she saw long, dark hair. She was overjoyed. Sango was home! "Sango! I need your help!" Kagome exclaimed. She was shocked to find a dark haired boy in the kitchen. She hid around the corner and peeked. "Inuyasha, is that you?" She asked. Inuyasha grumbled. Dammit, he thought no one was home. "Yeah, it's me. What's your problem?" He irritably asked. "I locked myself out of my room when I went to take a shower. Kaede isn't home yet." She meekly replied. She added, "So, did you dye your hair?" "No. Every half demon loses his powers every now and then. Mine happens once a month whenever there's a new moon." He answered. "Oh, I see. Well, since we're both in vulnerable positions, would you mind helping me out?" She requested politely. He sighed, took off his red shirt and tossed it to her. "Put that on." He ordered. She was blushing and went to the bathroom to dress in the oversized shirt (on her it was oversized anyway), while Inuyasha went to his room to get another one.
When she came out of the restroom, Inuyasha was standing in the doorway of his room with his arms crossed. "You can hang out in here with me if you want until Kaede gets back." He stated gruffly. She smiled and thanked him. He just "feh'd" and went to sit at his computer. At least he trusts me enough to let me be with him in his human form. Kagome thought as she sat on his bed with her legs tucked under her bottom. Kagome and Inuyasha passed the time in conversation and he explained that he can turn demon, but it's really only when his life was in danger or if he gets really pissed off.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha snapped her out of her flashback. She finally replied, "Inuyasha, it doesn't matter what the baby is. I love you the way you are. I'd like for our baby to have your ears, but it doesn't matter to me. I love you in all your forms." He sat up and looked at her solemnly, "it does matter."
"Why?"
"Because, Kagome, it determines what kind of life the baby will have growing up. Being a hanyou, you're picked on and don't really feel like you belong."
"I don't think it should matter."
"But, it does."
"Well, what do you want, since it's so important to you?"
Inuyasha sighed. He wasn't sure. A human baby seemed like the best choice because it wouldn't have to worry about going through life with extra difficulties. She could see the uncertainty in his golden eyes, so she reassured him, "It really doesn't matter. I married you, all of you, and I love you." "My hanyou form gives us a 1 in 4 chance that our baby will have my ears." He told her. "We can have fun trying," she said suggestively, "why don't we have one of each?" "Sounds good to me!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he pulled her on top of him.
