I held her in my arms and nearly cried myself, we were home, she was safe and I could spend as much time with her as I wanted!

"Let's get you inside so you can rest...it's been a long trip."

**Cricket** Fri Nov 20, 2009 11:57 pm

I simply nodded as I followed him. And once we were in our room, I collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep immediately. I was so tired.

**Lumina** Fri Nov 20, 2009 11:58 pm

I rested a lot too. I wouldn't be surprised if I slept for days after the journey, the beating I took getting there and carrying Aja halfway back. I was beyond exhausted - I was half dead really.

I awoke to a loud crash the next morning. I got up as quickly as possible, sliding the door open to see Koharu outside of the washroom, looking like he was about to faint. His face was as red as a tomato, and his eyes were glazed over. "Ko...haru?" I asked, heart beating fast. "What happened?"

"She's.... in there..." Was all he was able to get out.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:06 am

"KOHARU!!" I heard it all, I was fuming, I was certain steam was bursting out of my ears. I tackled him to the ground and put my kunai to his neck, "WHAT DID YOU SEE? EH? TELL ME! YOU BETTER HAVE SEEN NOTHING!"

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:11 am

My eyes must have gotten as big as a soup bowl! I had never seen Ijin so mad! I listened for what Koharu would have to say.

"All I saw was her face!! I swear!" He was backing away as much as he could from the kunai. It was almost... amusing. Almost. "Please don't kill me! I didn't know sh-she w-w-w-was in there! I'm really sorry!!" The whole experience reminded me of the time I walked in on Ijin. I was sure he had seen everything... though he acted as though he had seen absolutely nothing.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:12 am

"YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE HER ANYWHERE UNLESS YOU ARE MARRIED TO HER WHICH YOU NEVER WILL BE!" I barked, "SAY SOMETHING PERVERTED AND I'LL KILL YOU HERE!"

Wow I was beginning to sound deranged.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:16 am

Koharu's eyes widened. "I'M NOT THAT PERVERTED!!! I WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING BAD, OR TWISTED ABOUT HER!!! SHE'S A WOMAN!!" Wow. He seemed more angry that Ijin was accusing him of thinking perverted things about her. What was with this guy? "She deserves respect." He said softly. "I would never do anything to harm her integrity!"

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:18 am

"Hmm...you seem to be smarter than I perceived." I grinned, "Okay, you may live. Stay at least...one mile away from Kagome. Aja, let's go sit outside together eh?" I wrapped an arm around her and began to make those eyes that say I want to be alone with her. But at the same time...

"I have eyes in the back of my head, if I catch you doing something sinful I'll get you."

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:21 am

I smiled, and walked with him outside. I wondered if Ijin had been serious about the mile distance. If he had been serious, then Koharu would never have a chance to win Kagome's heart! I need to stop trying to play matchmaker!

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:23 am

"Okay now I can ask without anyone watching me! I wanted so badly to know that the baby was alive, can you tell me...has he been kicking lately? I want to..." I gulped, "I want to feel it." I felt slightly embarrassed asking something so bold, touching her - I barely did it other than kisses ever since I found out, but...this was a good touch right?

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:33 am

I laughed. "As a matter of fact, he just started kicking again!" I took his hand, and quickly pressed it to my large, round stomach. I couldn't help but smile. It was nice being home.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:34 am

"Wow, he's strong! That's really something..." I gulped, I felt my stomach knot, more in excitement than anything else. I felt happy that I was experiencing this with Aja. It felt amazing.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:59 am

"Yes he is! I'm sure he'll look exactly like you! He will be very lucky if he does! He'll have girls lined up wanting to be his bride!" I giggled happily.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:02 am

"It shouldn't be hard to find him a bride then, but we'll think about that when he gets past the baby stage. He'll be trained first. Isn't that right son?" I grinned and looked down at her stomach, "He should know how to talk by now!"

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:05 am

I laughed. "One thing as a time, Ijin! I still have three months to go!!" I couldn't stop laughing though! Everyone always ever told me that after we would get married, I would hate every part of living with Ijin. They said he would be serious, strict, and unloving. I think they were thinking of a different Ijin.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:10 am

"Three months is eternity." I sat down, "But that's alright, I'll make it." I smiled at her confidently.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:12 am

I laughed again. "You'll have to! You have no choice!" I sat down beside him with an "Oof!" And kissed his cheek. "I missed you so much!"

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:13 am

"I missed you...more than words can really say. I never gave up on looking for you." I played with her hair a little bit.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:18 am

I frowned. "I'm sorry to say that I doubted you a few times. Kagome never lost hope... but I did. I'm sorry, Ijin." I felt so horrible. I should have known he'd come for me, and yet I had still doubted him.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:22 am

"It's reasonable to doubt. I understand." I smiled, "But let's not dwell on that, I'm here, I'm going to take care of you and when our baby comes I'll take care of him too. We'll work together." I took her hand, "Always."

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:26 am

Smiles are infectious. It's like an illness. If one comes down with a case of the smiles, those around him will too. I just caught Ijin's. I hugged him, and sighed. This was it. THIS was the life I missed, and THIS was the life I came back to. It was almost as if nothing had changed!

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:47 am

I chose to pass on missions for the next three months just to rest and keep an eye on Aja. We spent more time together than we'd spent in so long so it meant the world to us.

**Cricket** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:49 am

I had been sleeping a lot over the past couple of days. I woke up to find my bed what. Oh... I swear, if I find out Koharu has been pranking me again- "Ehh?" I looked at where the bed was wet, and screamed. "KAGOME!!!!!! HELP!!!!" My water broke.

**Lumina** Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:53 am

I tossed slightly, "Mmm...I'll get it..." I got out of bed and went to get a glass of water for Aja. I was a bit dead when waking up, like a zombie who hears pretty much everything wrong.

"Ijin-sama! What the heck are you doing?!"

I looked up to see Kagome tying her hair back as she was walking down to Aja's and my room.

"Getting water...Aja...water..." I yawned between words.
