The Boyfriend

Chapter 17
Kagome heard a soft whimper as she was passing
Souta�s room on the way to bed that night. She stopped and listened
until she was certain of what she was hearing and then pushed open
his door, looking over at his bed. He was lying there, on his
stomach, crying into his pillow. Kagome slipped into the room and
walked over to him and leaned down.
�Souta?� she whispered. He shot up in bed,
quickly wiping his face with his sleeve.
�Nee-chan? What�s wrong? Do you need
something?� he quickly asked her. She sat down next to him.
�Why are you crying, Souta? What�s wrong?�
she asked. He looked away and shrugged.
�It�s nothing. Don�t worry about it,� he
dismissed, and then turned back to her. �Are you okay, though? Is
there anything I can do for you?�
�Souta�� Kagome reached out and grabbed his
head, pulling him into a headlock and noogied him. �You better tell
me what�s bugging you, right now!� she demanded.
�Ahh! Leggo!� he yelled. Kagome let him go and
he rubbed his hair back into place, glaring at her.
�Well?� she asked. He sighed and looked down.
�I don�t want to be a bother to anyone,�
Souta said.
�What do you mean? Did something happen at
school?� Kagome asked, worried that maybe he was being bullied.
�No, nothing like that,� he said. �I�ll be
fine, really.�
�You can tell me, Souta, I�m your sister,�
Kagome assured him. �And right now, I�m worried about you. You�ve
gotten taller since I saw you, but you look too skinny. Have you been
eating? Oh, no, is someone stealing your lunch?�
�No!� Souta protested. �I said it wasn�t
anything to do with school. And don�t worry about me, I don�t
want that!�
�But you�re not telling me what�s wrong and
you were crying, Souta!�
�I was crying about you!� he yelled, then
covered his mouth, his eyes going wide. Kagome�s eyes widened as
well and she gasped. �I didn�t mean that! Forget I said
anything!� Souta tossed himself face down into his pillow and
Kagome stared at his wall. She felt him shaking and reached out and
patted his shoulder.
�How much do you know about what happened?�
Kagome asked softly. After a minute, Souta slowly sat up and stared
at his hands, picking at his fingers nervously.
�Everything about what Yukio did,� Souta
answered. Kagome stared down at him in horror and he continued. �And
I know that you were kidnapped by demons and no one could find you
for a long time. You were all sick and hurt when you came back��
�How much is everything?� Kagome asked, hoping
that Souta only meant knowing that Yukio raped her to make the baby.
�I was outside your room when you were talking
to the police,� he confessed.
�Souta�� Kagome whispered, aghast.
�I didn�t know what you were saying at first.
Then� then I got sick.� Souta looked up at the wall Kagome had
been staring so hard at and she could see the tears brimming in his
eyes.
�I�m� I�m so sorry,� Kagome whispered,
fighting her own tears. For her little brother to have heard such a
thing�
�No, I�m sorry! I�m sorry I was such a jerk
to you right before you left for the feudal era,� Souta cried,
turning to her. Kagome reached out and hugged him and held on as he
cried against her shoulder.
�I�m sorry I didn�t listen to you, Souta,
you were right about him,� Kagome whispered.
�I wish I hadn�t been!� Souta whimpered.
�I wish you hadn�t listened at my door,�
Kagome added.
�I wish I hadn�t done that, either,� Souta
agreed. He sat back and wiped his face on his sleeve again. �So
you�re not mad at me?�
�No!� Kagome said. �And I don�t want you
to be upset about this any longer. And if you are, don�t just lie
in here and cry by yourself, please.�
�Okay,� he agreed. Kagome ruffled his hair and
stood up. �Nee-chan?�
�Yeah?�
�I�m sorry about what happened to you.�
�Don�t let it bother you, Souta. I�ll be
okay. Really,� Kagome tried to reassure him. He didn�t quite look
convinced, but then, she wasn�t convinced herself. Still, he let it
go.
�Good-night, nee-chan.�
�Good-night, Souta,� Kagome said, then shut
his door behind her. She walked down the hall to her bedroom and
InuYasha looked up at her as she came in. She smiled down at him and
climbed into bed. �Good-night, InuYasha.�
�Good-night, Kagome,� he answered. She let her
hand fall off the side of the bed and sighed happily when he took it.
Finally, she felt ready to sleep.

___________________________________________________________

The next morning, Kagome got up and packed her bag
for the feudal era. She wasn�t going to be much help anymore, she
knew, since her holy powers were gone. Yukio took those away from her
as well. She had discovered that when she tried to fight the demons
that captured her. Since she was no longer pure, she could no longer
purify, but she could still sense the jewel. She had sensed a shard a
few times in the village while she was pregnant, so she knew that
power hadn�t been taken. And she figured there were a few things
Miroku might be able to teach her, since everyone knew he wasn�t
pure from their time in the Mt. Hakurei barrier.
And she still had the knowledge from her own time
that periodically came in handy. She wasn�t going to stop going
through the well as long as it worked for her. She knew that there
had to be a reason for her to keep going if she still could. So, that
morning, she said good-bye to her family, who wished her a safe trip,
and then jumped back to the past with InuYasha�s arm wrapped around
her. Once they were on the other side, she climbed onto his back so
he could jump out.
She wasn�t supposed to be doing a lot of
physical exertion for a while, so she was trying to take it easy.
When Shippo didn�t run up to greet her and there was no sign of
Miroku or Sango, Kagome�s mood dropped. InuYasha seemed to notice,
because he took her hand in his.
�They don�t know I found you, yet. Shippo is
with Kaede, so you�ll see him soon. We�ll have to look for Sango
and Miroku.�
�Okay,� Kagome said, feeling a little better.
InuYasha nodded, then walked beside her to the village, slowly, since
she still couldn�t walk very fast. She was tired and a little
sore�especially her breasts, which were heavy with milk. She had a
pump in her backpack, having been shown how to use it by a nurse, so
she could keep her milk going until she was able to feed her own
baby. It seemed so strange to her, thinking that she had a daughter.
She was only sixteen, after all.
The walk seemed to take so much longer than usual,
to Kagome, who almost asked InuYasha to carry her the last ten
minutes of the trip. She was stubbornly intent on walking into the
village on her own two feet. As soon as she could see everyone, she
quickened her pace, wanting to see her friends as soon as possible.
Shippo found her first, though.
�Kagome! Kagome!� Shippo called, running up to
her.
�Shippo!� Kagome called back, holding out her
arms for him to jump into. He did so, laughing joyously. They spent
several minutes just saying hello and Kagome gave him several pieces
of candy she had brought back with her in her excitement. Shippo
stashed most of them away for later, being too happy from seeing
Kagome to be very interested in the sweets. Kaede greeted them with a
smile as well and invited them down to her hut for some lunch, but
they declined. �I want to find Sango and Miroku as soon as
possible,� Kagome explained.
�Ah, yes. They passed through here only a few
days before,� Kaede told her.
�Good, then they�ll be easy to track,�
InuYasha said. �Which way did they go?� Kaede pointed them in the
right direction and they set off. It didn�t take them too long
before they found the monk and demon slayer and were all back
together again. They spent the evening talking about the last several
months that they hadn�t seen each other and what had happened.
There was a lot of startling news all around, but Kagome tried to
keep the conversation away from herself as much as possible. InuYasha
didn�t have much to contribute, preferring to let everyone else
talk, but he did finally impart one piece of information that shocked
Kagome to the core.
�Kikyo died?� Kagome repeated.
�Yeah,� InuYasha said. �Naraku killed her.�
�And he has a new body and a new incarnation,�
Miroku added.
�But� if Kikyo�s dead, then how��
�How what?� InuYasha asked impatiently.
�How is the shikon no tama going to be
purified?� Kagome asked. She hadn�t imagined that she would be
the only one left with the power to even sense the jewel. And now she
didn�t think she could do anything even if they found it. Without
Kikyo�
�Whatta ya mean?� InuYasha asked, confused.
�You�ll purify it.�
�But� I don�t have my miko powers anymore,�
Kagome revealed quietly.
�Where did they go?� Shippo asked when
everyone else went silent. When no one answered him, he tried another
question. �Is that why you smell funny?�
�Huh? I smell funny?� Kagome repeated.
�It�s the milk,� InuYasha explained.
�Milk?� Sango asked.
�Did Kagome have a baby?� Shippo asked. All
eyes except InuYasha�s were fixed on Kagome. Slowly, she nodded.
�Why didn�t you tell us, InuYasha?� Shippo demanded.
�Because I didn�t know,� InuYasha said,
snatching the kit�s dinner away from him.
�Hey!� Shippo protested, trying to grab it
back. Kagome sighed and held out her dinner to Shippo, but InuYasha�s
eyes grew wide and he handed the fox back his food, shoving Kagome�s
back at her. Everyone stared at him in shock, even Shippo.
�What?� InuYasha demanded. �The doctors said
she needs to build up her strength. She can�t do that if she goes
and gives her dinner away!�
�So, is it a boy or a girl?� Sango asked
softly after she recovered from the shock of InuYasha returning
Shippo�s food.
�A girl,� Kagome answered.
�And her name�s Tama,� InuYasha said. Kagome
smiled at him and he swelled up a bit; she could tell he was happy
with his choice of names as Miroku and Sango both commented on it
being pretty.
�Why didn�t you bring her?� Shippo asked.
�She was born too soon,� Kagome explained.
�She has to stay with the doctors until she gets bigger.�
�She can�t even breathe on her own,�
InuYasha said. �She has machines doing it for her. If she had been
born here, she would have died.�
�Is she a hanyo, too?� Shippo asked
innocently. InuYasha opened his mouth and closed it.
�No, she�� Kagome began, but InuYasha cut
her off.
�She�s not a hanyo and that�s all you need
to know,� he snapped. �Now go to sleep.�
�What a grump,� Shippo whined, but happily
hopped over to Kagome as she unrolled her sleeping bag.
�It�s okay, Shippo,� Kagome said, lying
down. �You�ll get to meet her later.�
�Okay,� he said. �Good-night, Kagome!�
�Good-night.�
To be continued�
A/N: Miko means �temple virgin� and is a Shinto position.
Shinto is about purity and even though it wasn�t her choice,
Kagome�s no longer pure. Don�t worry, she�s Kagome and she
won�t put up with being helpless for long. Hopefully, we�ll see a
return of the Kagome who can tell off a giant holding her in the palm
of his hand soon.
