The Passing Of Love Through Time (An InuYasha FanFiction)

A Heart-Warming Beginning

Chapter 6

Kagome opened her eyes slowly allowing them to adjust to the light flowing in from the windows. She sat up and stretched her arms above her head, her body felt heavy, but well rested. She was looking around the hut, enjoying the beautiful morning, but she noticed she was lacking one husband. She started to panic then looked out the window and realized something, Since when is the sun so high in the sky during the morning. Kagome started to get up but a head rush hit her before she could make it to her feet, she smiled.

I guess InuYasha let me sleep in after I scared him like that last night. That softy. Laughing was heard outside. Hm, sounds like everyone is having a good time. Kagome could easily make out InuYasha's voice from the rest, his was the loudest and growing louder. I should probably get up so I can see what all the fuss is about. Kagome stood up easily this time and was brushing off her priestess kimono when InuYasha walked in. He had a smile and his face, his cheeks red from laughing, and was still slightly chuckling when his eyes met Kagome's.

His smile then became gentle as he started walking towards her, "Hey,"

"Hey" Kagome replied back in a cheerful voice as she saw his glittering Kanjo no Kessho still hanging around his neck.

"How'd ya sleep?" He asked as he gave Kagome a warm hug.

"Good, thanks for letting me sleep in." Kagome looked away from his gaze with her cheeks turning a slight pink. Idiot! Why am I blushing? We're married after all. Jeez.

"Feh, it was nothing. I thought you could use the extra sleep after you scared the hell out of me last night." He said this an a joking tone, Kagome was so happy to see him in such a good mood.

"Sorry." Kagome re-met his gaze.

"Feh, don't apologize. It's just one of the symptoms of pregnancy." Kagome's face froze, and pulled away from the embrace so she could look at him. "What?" He asked his smile disappearing.

"Since when do you know all about pregnancy?" Kagome questioned him.

"I talked to Kaede while you were asleep. I just had a couple questions about her." Kagome knew that the "her" he was referring too was their child that had given them the crystals around their necks so they could communicate with each other. It cheered Kagome up so much to know that he cared so much about their child. "Oh speaking of 'her'," InuYasha suddenly said causing Kagome to jump out of her day dreaming, "I got to talk to her this morning." His smile widened.

"Really?" Kagome asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, she looks a lot like you. Especially her eyes." InuYasha started to faze off into his own little world.

"You got to see her?" InuYasha came back to reality after hearing the question.

"Huh? Oh yeah! She and I talked for a bit, and she answered some questions that Kaede couldn't answer. For instance," InuYasha continued, "turns out your pregnancy is going to be shorter than a normal human's. It's only going to be about 4-5 months, so we don't have to wait too long to see her."

This surprised Kagome, well InuYasha sure is excited. And he's got a point, there would be no way I'd be able to wait 9 months in order to see her in person. Kagome was thinking this all to herself, but InuYasha wasn't done yet.

"And the reason she can contact us is because she inherited some of your priestess powers." He finished excitedly.

"That's great!" Kagome couldn't stop smiling, and neither could InuYasha. She will be a perfect little gift to our new family. Oh that reminds me! "Hey, InuYasha?" Kagome started to ask. InuYasha's excited smile disappeared as he looked at his wife in confusion.

"Yeah?"

"Don' cha think we should name her?" InuYasha looked a little surprised, he was so caught up in admiring her, he never really thought of a name.

"Um, yeah. Watcha have in mind?" InuYasha asked her, hoping she would have some ideas.

"Um . . . I was kinda thinking . . . Okurimono, maybe?"

"Okurimono" InuYasha thought about the name for a bit, "I like it."

"Really?" Kagome asked excitedly.

"Yeah, it-" He didn't get to finish before Kagome brought her lips to his, with a positive electric like pulse coming from her as they wrapped their arms around each other and their eyes closed. They stayed their for a few moments before pulling away with both of their cheeks fully flushed and their breaths labored.

"Come on," InuYasha said taking her hand and leading her towards the door, " We have some guests today." Kagome was a little confused but followed him with their hands still entwined through the door flap and outside.

Once they were outside Kagome looked around, but a large group of people caught her eye. When she looked closer, she gasped at the sight. There, not far from the bottom of the hill were Sango and Miroku each holding one of the two from their newest sets of twins, and also next to them were four wolf demons. Two of them were easy to make out as Ginta and Hakkaku, Koga's right and left hand men. And next to them was Ayame, with her bright red hair in her usual pigtails, she was holding her knees to her chest while leaning against Koga, while he had an arm comfortably around her shoulders as he sat next to her cross-legged.

Under a tree, not far from the group, were Rin and Sesshomaru. Rin was wearing the kimono Sesshomaru had given to her as a gift the last time he came. They were talking, well Rin was talking while Sesshomaru listened and occasionally smirked, while Shippou played with all the rest of the children in a good round of "Human, Human, Naraku". Mika and Sura, the slayers oldest twins, were sitting anxiously next to Haru their younger brother and Shippou, as a red headed boy around the same age as them with a fur outfit on, tapped each on the head until he yelled "Naraku" on someone.

All of these sights warmed her heart, she started down the hill but InuYasha held her hand tightly and stopped her. "InuYasha?" Kagome looked at her husband confused.

"Allow me." He said as he pulled on Kagome's hand and caused her to fall backwards. Only to be caught by InuYasha, bridal style, as he started his way down the large hill at lightning speed.
