" The Heart of a Hanyou"


Inuyasha growled in frustration as he saw the others still battling with the snake demon. He set Kaori down on the grass infront of his motherand sister, before looking up at Kagome.

"Remember your promise, Koi. I'll be right back." Inuyasha said, before turning and dashing over to join the others.

"Be careful." Kagome breathed silently, before reaching down and taking the twins' hands and leading them to the edge of the forest, and looked down as both of the twins seriously. "Daddy has to help fight the big snake creature, ok? So Mommy needs you two to climb onto her back and hold on as tightly as you both can, understood?" Kagome asked as the twins looked up at their mother confused.

"But why Mama?" Kaori asked as Kagome looked up into the thick branches of the tree overhead.

"I'm going to take you both into the tree up here with me. We have to make sure to stay out of the way, but to make sure we're in hiding too, understand. Now do as I say, both of you. Please." Kagome said.

Reluctantly, the twins climbed onto their mother's back, clinging tightly to her as she started to climb slowly and carefully up into the tree. If it hadn't been for the fact that she was pregnant, she would have just jumped into the branches one at a time, until she reached the top, but just as she had promised Inuyasha, she wanted to be careful.

"How long will we have to wait, Mama?" Kaiya asked once they finally reached high enough for Kagome's liking. Kagome shook her head.

"I'm not sure, sweetie. We'll just have to-" Kagome began.

"Iron Reaver Soul STEALER!" Inuyasha's voice cried loudly, followed by a loud thud, as Kagome tried to see what was happening through the leaves, but growled in frustration when she was unable to do so. A few moments later, Inuyasha's voice could be heard again.

"Oi! Kagome! Where are you?!" Inuyasha cried, his voice edging on panic.

"We're fine. Hold on, I'm coming down." Kagome said, gesturing to the twins to climb onto her back once more.

"What the hell?! You were in a tree?! What if you have fallen, Kagome?! Then what? What about the twins? What about you?! What about the unborn pup?!" Inuyasha cried.

Sesshoumaru and Kouga exchanged a look as Miroku and Sango stared at Kagome in shock, before Sango finally realized that her jaw had been hanging open. With a blush she closed it just before she ran over to Kagome and hugged her best friend.

"Is it true? You mean we're going to be pregnant together? Oh this is wonderful!" Sango cried happily as she grabbed Kagome's hands and shook both their hands up and down in excitement as Kagome laughed along with her friend.
Miroku chuckled as he walked over to Inuyasha and clamped a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Don't waste much time do you, my friend?" Miroku asked with a chuckle as Inuyasha face-faulted and gaped at the monk, a blush racing across his cheeks.

"EXCUSE ME?!" Inuyasha cried as Kagome blushed too, laughing nervously.

"You have my congratulations, of course, Inuyasha. But Kagome's only been back for such a short period of time. I wonder if maybe you're maybe not a dog hanyou, but maybe a rabbit hanyou instead?" Miroku asked with a chuckle as Inuyasha turned scarlet.

"Why you-!" Inuyasha snarled as he tried to lunge for Miroku, who chuckled as he dodged, and side stepped carefully out of the hanyou's path.

"Inuyasha, leave him alone. He was only kidding." Kagome said, chuckling nervously as Inuyasha crossed his arms, growling to himself as he closed his eyes and leaned against the trunk of the tree behind him.

"So it's true." Kouga said, studying Kagome, as Inuyasha opened one eye to watch Kouga as Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru.

"He told you?" Kagome asked as Kouga shook his head.

"He didn't need too. I, unlike the half-breed over there, can tell on my own. Full blooded demon, remember?" Kouga said as Inuyasha growledloudly at the wolf. Kagome laughed nervously as she stepped inbetween the two, holding up both arms as she looked between the both of them.

"Kouga, Inuyasha knew himself too. But we can all argue about this later. Come on, Inuyasha defeated the snake demon, right? So let's get it's shard." Kagome said, starting to walk away. Inuyasha and Kouga continued glaring and growling at each other, before Kagome sighed loudly and solved everyone's problems by 'sitting' Inuyasha.

The sun hung very low in the sky, just grazing the horizon, as Kagome walked away from the warmth and light of the campfire in search of her mate in the heights of the trees. Finally, she spotted the familar red kimono in a nearby tree a few feet from the camp.

"Inuyasha? Are you alright? Is there something wrong? Something seems to have bothering you all afternoon." Kagome said as Inuyasha studied the female hanyou beneath the tree, peering up at him.

"That's 'cause there is, Koi." Inuyasha said, turning his head away. He frowned as he suddenly heard Kagome start to climb the tree, and whipped his head back down. "What do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome sighed deeply.

"What's it look like? There's something bothering my mate, so I'm coming up. I have a right to know what's bothering you." Kagome said as Inuyasha sighed.

"Don't. I'll come down." Inuyasha said, then suddenly jumped from the tree, landing quietly on the grass below, and startling Kagome, who started to fall backwards until Inuyasha caught her.

"Warn me the next time you're gonna do that!" Kagome snapped as Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her in concentration, ignoring her outburst.

"When is your human night?" Inuyasha suddenly asked, as Kagome looked at him surprised.

"What?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha sighed impatiently.

"You're human night. You're a hanyou now, like me right? So, you must have a human night too. When is it?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome thought for a moment, before looking at her mate confused.

"It's the new moon." Kagome said as Inuyasha nodded his head to himself.

"I thought as much. The twins too? It's the same?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome slowly nodded, still not understand where he was going with all this. Suddenly, he cursed swiftly to himself.

"What? What is it? What's wrong?" Kagome asked.

"The new moon. It's tomorrow night." Inuyasha growled.

"Then that means......" Kagome began as Inuyasha nodded.

"Yeah. Not only will I be human," Inuyasha said, making a face, "but so will you and the twins." Inuyasha said.

"What's the problem? So? We happen to have the same human night. I don't understand." Kagome said as Inuyasha growled in frustration.

"It means that I won't be able to protect you, since I'll be a pathetic human for the night. And there's no way you'll be able to keep yourself and the twins safe either. And now with this other pup on the way.....maybe you should think about going back to your time." Inuyasha suggested as Kagome started to growl at him again.

"Inuyasha-" Kagome began as Inuyasha shook his head.

"Only for the night, Koi. I want you and the pups, *all* of them, to be safe. And the safest place for you, and our *human* whelps will be your time. Just until sunrise, Koi. Then I'll come and get you." Inuyasha said.

"Wait a minute. What about you? I can't leave you here. And what about Sango and Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"They're not my concern, Kagome. You and the pups are." Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, they're our friends. Besides, I'm not gonna leave Sango, especially when she's pregnant too. She's nervous, and that's not healthy for the child. And besides, we have other allies now, remember? Or did you convieniently forget about them?" Kagome asked, raising an eyebrow as Inuyasha snorted.

"Of course I didn't wench-" Inuyasha began.

"Inuyasha-" Kagome warned, growling low in her throat as Inuyasha sighed in impatience.

"Fine. You know I didn't forget about the others, *Kagome*, but like I said, it's still too dangerous for the four of us to be human. Besides, I don't like Kouga knowing about my human night....and Kikyou doesn't know about it to begin with and I'd like to keep it like that." Inuyasha said as Kagome sighed.

"Inuyasha, don't worry about it, would you? Kouga may not be your best friend, and Kami knows he never will be, but he's a friend, and a *trusted* one at that. Don't worry about him. As for Kikyou, she's fine too. I've already talked to her. Besides, you forget that even if I *do* lose my hanyou powers for the night, I still retain my Miko abilities. I'll still be able to keep myself and the pups safe. Which is why I'm not leaving!" Kagome said, turning and starting to walk away as Inuyasha stared after her dumbfounded.

"Why are you so stubborn?!" Inuyasha called after her as Kagome looked over her shoulder at him.

"I blame you." Kagome said, walking away as Inuyasha stared after his mate in shock.
