Face your Fears
........ “Mommy, mommy wake up! I want to play! I want a walk! C’mon!” Inueka said with an extra special cheeriness in his face.
........
“Let me sleep, please. I need sleep.” Kagome moaned turning away from Inueka trying to get back to sleep, which she did badly need. Ever since Inu Yasha had left to go help Miroku and Sango build a new house, Kagome had been living a nightmare. First of all, being 6 months pregnant and trying to raise a 5-year-old all by herself was not a dream come true. And to make matters worse, she had had no help from her mom. That’s right. She was living in feudal Japan now with Inu Yasha. She had not seen her mother in at least 7 years. She had been visiting Souta once in a while to see how he was doing. He was so mature now, and he understood her problems like a book. He had tried to help her in every way he could, by bringing supplies to her, and comforting her.
........
“ Mommy, Pleaseeeeeee play with me. I’m so bored without dad here. Please?” Inueka complained rocking Kagome back and forth trying to wake her up. “Inueka, go play outside or get something to eat.”
........
“Okay.” He responded in a cheery voice. Kagome just sat there thinking about how screwed up her life is, and that was no way back, no way to start over. She lay there thinking about her family, her mother, her friends, Inu Yasha, her son. But she was suddenly woken up from her dream with a quick jolt from a jump from Inueka. Up and down, up and down he jumped on her stomach.
........
“Weeee!” Inueka howled as jumped his mother’s stomach.
........
“GET OFF!” Kagome yelled while kicking Inueka off the bed. Thud. Inueka just lay there holding his foot, which he had crunched
........
“Ow, ow, ow, ow.” He moaned in pain. But while he was in his beetle position, Kagome had gone outside to throw up some leftover food or organs, something like that.
........
That was usually the way the day started. Kagome being woken up and throwing up, Inueka in his beetle position, and both in desperate need for Inu Yasha. But thing that really bothered both of them was Kagome’s outbursts. Sometimes she would be bathing or something, and she would just start crying for Inu Yasha or her mom. It seemed that she was suffering from depression or anxiety of some sort. And that was exactly what she did. She was laying there checking the bags under her eyes, getting larger and heavier everyday, when she just started to cry, without stopping for at least 20 minutes. “Mom, mom, I miss you so much.”
Miroku and Sango’s place
........ “Miroku, a little to the left. No, now the right.” Sango directed while holding the little bundle of joy, Senchi. Senchi is Miroku and Sango’s child, big surprise, right?
Authors note: There is the end of chapter 1. I hope that you have liked it so far. Please, understand that I will continue this story for as long as I can. If you could give me any feedback, that would be great. Thanx!^^, Tsheadpm@worldnett.att.net
........
“Sango, which way do you mean?” Miroku asked angrily
........
“Oh, you’re hopeless. Just hang on, I’ll help you in a second.” Sango said with a discouraged look. She turned and Inu Yasha asked, “Will you hold Senchi for a while, please?” Inu Yasha gave a reassuring nod and took Senchi in his arms. It was hard not to cry, holding a child in his arms while he could have been at home enjoying time with his own son and his dear, dear Kagome. Sango had seen the look on his when he took Senchi in his arms. But this look gave her an idea.
........
“Miroku, if you hadn’t noticed, Inu Yasha has been pretty down in the past few months. Maybe there is something we can do? Maybe?” Sango suggested. Miroku only looked at her with an ‘ well what can we do?’ kind of look.
........
“Sango, sweety, you know that I would love to help my buddy Inu Yasha, but what can we do? And besides that, who will watch Senchi while we are working? I don’t know if this is such a good idea.” Miroku replied. It was obvious that the only reason that he was saying this was because he had no idea what so ever how to deal with this problem at hand, and that he was scared of his wife.
........
“Miroku”, Sango started with a certain grin on her face, “we will have no more children and no more fun.” Sango threatened. A glum, shocked look came over Miroku’s face
........
“Uh, we’ll see what we can do.” He replied quickly.
........
“I thought you would see it my way. But anyway, what we can do is send Inu Yasha to Kagome to Kagome until she has her second child, and when he comes back, if he does, he can bring Inueka with him. You never know, Senchi might want to have a playmate. What do you say?” Sango explained. Miroku just stood there looking at her in surprise. ‘She really thought this out, didn’t she?’ Miroku just stared into nothingness. She just walked over to Inu Yasha to play with Senchi.
........
“Inu Yasha, we have something to tell yo…” But she was rudely interrupted by Miroku pulling her away before she went too far. He pulled in to the forest and pushed her against the nearest tree. “Um Miroku, I don’t really feel like having sex right now.” Sango started.
........
“Not now, though maybe later. But anyway, if we don’t work on the house, we are we going to stay?” This made Sango think, but she quickly had a response to this mysterious question. “We will stay with Lady Kaede. I’m sure she won’t mind.”
........
“That sounds okay.” Miroku replied. “You can tell him now.”
........
“Now, Inu Yasha, as I was saying. You’ve been gone from Kagome for a long time now, right? And she will be having her second child soon? So, Miroku and I were thinking that you should go see Kagome until she is, well, settled in. And maybe, I you come you could bring Inueka with you. What do you say?” Sango explained. But before she could get another word out of him, he was on his way, jumping from branch barely making a sound. Quickly, tree to tree, so many things racing through his mind, he barely even knew which way he was going. But it was that ‘love’ instinct that guided his way to Kagome and his son Inueka. ‘Will she hate since I have been away so long? Do I look different? Does she look different?’ All these questions were racing through his mind, but his only answer was to wait and find out. As he started to get closer, he thought to the time before he left, and what Kagome said.
........
“Inu Yasha, I want you to remember, that no matter how long you are gone, I will always love you. And be as careful as you can. I don’t want a dead dog for a husband.” Kagome said.
........
But Inu Yasha quickly responded, “And I will always love you. But are you sure that you will be okay without me? I mean, with Inueka to watch and--” but he was soon cut off by Kagome. He knew that that was que to go.
