Chapter 5

Morning came and Kagome greeted it
slowly. The baby had woken her twice the previous night by pressing against her
sore breasts and she hadn�t gotten much sleep. They had been so sensitive that
he hadn�t even had a chance to squirm under her top before she woke up.
She sat up, bleary-eyed, and looked
to see that the others were already awake and that Sango had started breakfast.
�Morning�� she managed through
parched lips. She was desperately thirsty again.
�Good morning, Kagome-chan.� �Good morning, Kagome-sama.�
�Good morning, Kagome.� Sango, Miroku and Shippo
greeted from around the fire.
She rubbed her eyes, then reached
down to pick up the baby, and was surprised to find him not there. Coming fully
awake in a sudden panic, she looked around for him.
�I�ve got him,� Inuyasha�s voice
said from beside her.
She turned to see the hanyou sitting with his back to a tree. The baby was in his
lap, awake but being quiet.
�Oh. Ummm��
�He woke you twice already, so when
he started fussing I took him,� Inuyasha explained.
She reached for her water bottle and
drank half of it before she felt wet enough to speak.
�Thank you.�
�He�s been fed and changed
already,� Inuyasha informed.
She blinked at him. �Did you change
him?�
�No, I did,� Sango replied.
She looked at her friend. �Thank
you.�
The older woman shrugged and patted
her abdomen. �I�ll be doing it for my own baby soon enough. I need the
practice.�
She nodded and stretched a bit,
yawning. In that moment Inuyasha�s haori fell from
her shoulders and landed on top of her sleeping bag. She shivered and was suddenly
cold without it.
�Thank you for letting me sleep in this last night. I forgot I had it on,� she said,
offering it to him.
He reached out and took it from
her, slipping it on with the baby still in his lap; he just didn�t tuck the
int into the waist of his hakama.
�I hope you weren�t cold,� she
added apologetically.
�Keh! I�m made of tougher stuff than that!�
�Mmm, I
know you are,� she sighed, moving to slide out of the sleeping bag.
Suddenly, Inuyasha�s head whipped
around and he was staring intently at her.
�Huh?� Kagome said, noticing his
sudden snap to attention. �Inuyasha?�
His eyes narrowed and he sniffed at
her, scenting the air.
�What? What is it?� she asked
worriedly.
�Your scent.
There�s something different about your scent.�
�What do you mean?�
His golden eyes focused on her
chest and his nostrils flared. Blushing under his scrutiny of her breasts, she
grabbed them and turned away, hiding them from his view, but then quickly
dropped her hands.
�Owww. They�re even more sore
than last night�� she complained silently, putting her hand under her shirt
to feel the tender skin. Her fingers came back damp.
�Huh?� she said, looking at her
hand. She put it back under her shirt and felt again.
�What is it?� Inuyasha questioned.
�I� I�m wet�� she breathed,
confused.
�Eh? What do you mean��
With her back still to Inuyasha and
the others, she slipped her hand into her bra and was shocked to find the
inside of the cups to be moist. She ran her hand over her nipple and felt a new
wetness on her fingers. Drawing her hand back out, she looked at the drops of
pale white liquid on her fingertips.
�What?...
Inuyasha��
�Kagome-chan?� Sango�s asked.
�Kagome-chan, are you alright?�
�I� I don�t know��
�Kagome?!�
Shippo cried moving to hop onto her shoulder.
Inuyasha grabbed him in mid-leap.
�Oi! Stay off her. We don�t know what�s going on.�
She stared at the liquid, then felt her nipple again. More wetness came onto her
fingers and she checked the other breast and found the same thing. With shaking
hands, she reached out to her side.
�Inuyasha,� she whispered. �Hand me
the baby.�
�Kagome, what is it?� he asked, his
voice worried.
�Just� give him to me, please.�
He did as she asked, gently placing
the infant in her trembling hands. Once he was in her arms, she brought him to
her chest, lifting up her shirt and pulling down the soft cup of her bra, and
offering the wet nipple to his mouth. As usual he latched on, but sucked
half-heartedly as if he had come to expect disappointment, and for a moment
Kagome sighed with relief.
�So
I was wrong�� she thought. �Ow, this hurts��
Suddenly, however, the infant�s
attitude changed and he began to suck a little harder. He turned his head to
further face into her breast and increased his sucking even more, almost
ecstatically, as if to say �Food! There�s food here!� She gasped at the
strength of it, and increase in pain. He was nursing hard and not letting go.
�Oh�
oh my God��
�Kagome�� Inuyasha asked, a hint of panic in his voice.
�Kagome-chan?� �Kagome-sama?�
She turned just her head to meet
Inuyasha�s worried face with a shocked face of her own.
�It�s� it�s
milk. I�m� I�m making milk��
�Milk?
Kagome� are you sure?� Sango asked.
�He�s not letting up, and he�s
definitely getting something. I� I can feel it�� It�s also getting less and less painful� was the pain just from me
being� full?�
�But that�s impossible. Kagome-sama this infant is not yours. How can you be making milk
for him?� Miroku questioned.
�How should I know?!� she snapped back,
a hint of hysteria in her voice.
She looked to Inuyasha hopin
wo
would have some explanation. Maybe he would tell her it was some inu-youkai thing, that pups had a way of pulling milk out
of dry breasts... But his face was a picture of shock and awe and� something
else. He was speechless, his mouth open and his eyes wide.
�Inuyasha?�
�You�re� you�re feeding him?� he
asked in a voice so soft she almost couldn�t hear it.
�Seems so,� she replied just as
softly.
He took off his haori
and draped it over her shoulders. �Here, so you won�t be exposed��
�Like
a nursing blanket�� she thought, pulling the red material over her breasts
and the nursing baby so that only the lower half of his blanket-wrapped body
peeked out.
�Kagome� may I� smell? I promise I
won�t peep.�
She nodded and slowly turned
around. He knelt before her and put his nose to her chest, sniffing. He pulled
back a moment later, his eyes swimming with some unnamed emotion, but she would
swear his hands were shaking.
�Inuyasha?�
�You�ll need meat,� he murmured,
then looked at her with wonderment. �I�ll get you meat.�
He didn�t even wait for her to
answer before he was gone. She stared at the others who stared back.
�Kagome-sama,
this is� this is�� Miroku began.
�Ouch,� she blurted as the baby suddenly
bit down with a toothless mouth on her tender nipple.
�Kagome-chan?� Sango asked with concern.
�I think he�s finished with the
one. Hold on. Let me switch him.�
Working under the haori, Kagome pulled him from her breast and turned him
around so he could nurse from the other. He latched on immediately and began
sucking.
�It� it�s not very much, is it?�
she commented, once he�d settled into a rhythm. �I don�t think it�s enough to
feed him with how much gruel he eats.�
�If you just started making milk it
might take a day or two to make enough for him,� Sango offered tentatively.
�At least now we know why you have
been so thirsty recently, Kagome-sama,� Miroku added.
�I just... I just don�t understand
why this happened,� she said forlornly.
�You have strong miko powers and a pure and loving heart, Kagome-sama. Perhaps that has something to do with it.�
�Maybe...� she trailed off.
�It�s because you�re so loving and
good, Kagome!� Shippo enthused, hopping into her lap.
She smiled softly at him then
frowned.
�Ouch!�
Shippo
jumped off her lap as she looked under the haori,
pulling the baby from her.
�Hey! Look, I know you�re excited
to get milk and all, but you have to stop biting me like that. It hurts!� she
scolded the infant as she tucked him into her arms. �Sheesh, and he doesn�t even
have teeth yet.�
The baby, unhappy at being pulled
away from his teat, began to fuss. Kagome patted him comfortingly.
�I�m sorry. I don�t have anymore.
You ate it all. You�re gonna have to wait.�
�There is some gruel left from this
morning, Kagome-chan. Do you want me to warm it up?�
Sango offered.
She gave them a suffering look.
�Yes please.� �If he�ll still eat it...�
He would, although with not as much
gusto as he did the milk. Shippo commented that he
probably knew the difference by smell alone and preferred the milk if he had a
choice. Kagome replied that she �t k�t know how long it would take her to make
more milk, if she was even going to make more. Because she didn�t know why she
had started to lactate in the first place, she had no idea if it was going to
be a continuous occurrence.
The infant had just finished eating
the remainder of the gruel when Inuyasha returned carrying a dead boar and two
dead carp. He saw her feeding him from the surgical glove and raised an eyebrow.
�I didn�t have that much milk and
he was still hungry. So...,� she explained.
He nodded and dropped his burden on
the edge of the camp ground, then he used his claws to
slice open the boar and drew out its liver. He offered it to her with a bloody
hand.
�Here.�
She shrank back. �What?�
�Liver is very good for you. It�s
full of nutrients. Eat it,� he replied.
�I�m not eating raw liver!� she
shrieked.
�Why not?
You drank it when I made the medicine for your cold that time.�
�What? THAT�S what waW?!�W?!� she
yelled, horrified.
His ears twitched. �Well, not
completely raw. I did put it in the boiling herbs.�
�So that�s why Souta...
Oh god, I think I�m going to be sick...�
�Kagome-sama,
Inuyasha is right. Liver is very good for you,� Miroku tried.
�I am not eating raw liver!� she
insisted. �I don�t care how good it is for me!�
Inuyasha tossed the liver towards
the cooking pot on the fire. �Fine! We�ll cook it, but
one way or the other, you�re gonna eat it because your body needs the
nutrients.�
Miroku caught the liver with his
fast reflexes and put it in the pot. Sango added some water for boiling, and
Inuyasha gutted the carp to add their livers to the pot.
�The rest is meat,� Inuyasha said,
butchering the kills with amazing efficiency. �We can take this with us. I�ll
make the boar hide into a carrying sack. You should eat lots of meat and drink
as much water as you can. If you are making milk for the baby, you will need
twice as much food as normal.�
They stared at him, but he wasn�t
paying the least bit of attention to them. He performed his task with a
single-mindedness that unnerved them, his face serious and intent. Before they
were even really aware of what was happening, he had skinned and sliced off the
choice cuts of meant from the boar and gutted the carp. All of this he placed
on the laid out skin and wrapped up, then he took vines from a nearby tree and
used them to lash the bundle together into a carrying pack.
�Oi! Monk, is that liver
ready?� he asked from over his shoulder.
They snapped to attention, looking
into the pot.
�Yes,� Sango answered.
�Kagome, eat it.�
�What? You think you can just order
me around...� she seethed.
�Kagome-sama,�
Miroku interrupted her. �Inuyasha is right. We don�t know why you started making
milk, but until we understand better what is happening, you must make sure you
take care of yourself. Inuyasha is just looking after your health and
well-being in his usual straight-forward way.�
The monk offered her the pot with
the boiled liver.
�But I hate liver...� she
complained.
�It doesn�t matter,� Inuyasha
argued forcefully. �If you don�t eat enough and give your body what it needs,
it will take it from reserves you can�t spare. I�ve seen what happens to
breeding females who don�t get enough to eat. I�m not about to let that happen
to you.�
Kagome looked down into the pot and
grimaced. The boiled liver looked even less appetizing than when it was raw.
�Does
he really expect me to eat this?�
�Oi! Will you stop staring at it and just eat it
already!�
His insistence that she eat the
liver made her angry. She was confused and frightened and the last thing she
needed was some macho-hanyou pushing her around. She
set her jaw and dug her heels in.
�I don�t want it.�
�What?� he questioned, his eyes
glinting.
�I said I don�t want it.�
�I don�t care if you don�t want it,
eat it anyway,� he ordered gruffly.
�Just who the hell do you think you
are ordering me around like that? Who died and made you my master?� she
snapped.
His eyes opened wide in shock, then
narrowed in rage. �I told you, you need the nutrients. It doesn�t matter if you
don�t like it, your body needs it. So shut up, bitch, and eat the fucking
liver!�
�Osuwari!�
Inuyasha ate dirt, then growled. �Stop doing that, bitch!�
�Ouswari! I told you not to curse in front of the
baby!�
�I wouldn�t curse in front of the
baby if you didn�t fucking piss me off so much!�
�Osuwari! Osuwari! Osuwari!�
�Arrrggghhhhh!� Inuyasha screamed, then
snarled when the spell released him. �If you think slamming my face into the
ground is going to get you out of eating that liver, you�ve got another thing
coming. We aren�t going anywhere until you eat it!�
The baby let outistristressed wail.
�Oh great!
Now look what you�ve done. You�ve made him cry!� Kagome accused.
�I�ve made him cry? You�re
the one screaming at me to sit!�
�I wouldn�t be screaming at you if
you�d stop being so stubborn!� she yelled back, trying to quiet the baby. �Shhh, shhhh.
It�s okay, baby, don�t cry.�
�I�m being stubborn?! I�m
not the one putting myself and a helpless pup at risk! I�m not the one who
suddenly started making milk for no reason for a pup that isn�t even mine! I�m
not the one refusing to eat the meat brought to her so she�d be healthy! I�m
not the one acting like a spoiled brat!� he replied, furious.
She opened her mouth to yell, but
he cut her off.
�Stuff it! I�vd end enough. I told
you we weren�t going anywhere until you ate the liver I brought you. Call me
when you�ve come to your senses,� he hissed, then leaped into a tree.
She drew a deep breath to give him
the �sitting� of his life, when Miroku spoke softly into her anger.
�You shouldn�t punish him for
worrying and trying to take care of you.�
She turned her head to look at the
ex-monk, still shushing the baby who was now sniffling and giving off tiny
mewling cries.
�I know how he feels,� Miroku
explained gently. �My wife is pregnant and soon we will have our own baby. She
will need me to provide for her and protect her while she and the newborn are
vulnerable. But I will have months to prepare for this. Inuyasha fell into this
suddenly without any warning. Now he has an infant to care for and a milking
female to provide for and protect.
�He is just as confused and
frightened as you are, Kagome-sama. You should not
fight with him or take your anger and fear out on him. Fate has chosen you to
be this child�s mother. That is evidenced by your milk. You need Inuyasha now
more than ever, and your baby needs the both of you. Now is not the time for
power struggles between you.�
�Miroku�s
right, Kagome,� Shippo added. �Inuyasha smells of
worry and fear. He�s scared and you know that makes him cranky. Please forgive
him for being so mean and rude.�
�He�s only trying to look out for
your well-being, Kagome-chan, like any good partner
or mate. No matter how it might seem, Inuyasha�s heart is in the right place,�
Sango said.
Even Kirara
gave her a plaintive mew and rubbed against her.
Kagome frowned, hearing their words
of reason, and looked down at the baby�s face. He was quieting now, but his
cheeks were still discolored from his crying, and he was chewing on his fist in
the way she had come to associate with him being upset.
�This�
this is my baby. And he needs me,� she thought sadly, feeling ashamed. �He�s already lost two parents and been in
mortal danger. His mother sacrificed her own life to carry him to safety, and
he spent the last four days of her life, smelling her blood. He shouldn�t have
to suffer or lose any more people who care about him. He needs Inuyasha and me
to be his new parents. He needs me to be strong and healthy so that I can take
care of him.�
Cradling his head in one hand, she
drew him close to her, holding him tenderly and kissing his brow. He snuffled
and nuzzled into her neck, mewling, and she patted his bottom comfortingly.
�Don�t
worry, baby. Kagome-kaa-san is here,� she
promised.
She ate the liver.

A/N: Does this actually happen in real life? YES. It is
called �induced lactation� and it is a documented phenomenon. I�ll explain the hows and whys in a later chapter.
