5Mika : New Moon.
It was dark the sky was a blanket of dark purple covered with the glitter of the stars. A young girl of sixteen sat in one of the many hot springs that was carefully hidden by nature in this forest, her long black hair was beginning to stick to her face from the steam hitting her face. The heat of the water gave her milky porcelain skin a light flushed look. Her muscles were relaxed as she breathed out a small sigh of peace the sounds of the crickets singing were lulling her into a dazed appreciation of the nature that she was surrounded by. Her eyes opened half lidded as she heard a small crack from behind her she listened more alert than she previously had been. Her dark brown eyes were almost endless. The light feeling of nervousness filled her as she turned to see nothing there.
Eyes looked up into the night sky sitting in the tree tops enjoying the night. His hair shone in the moonlight as he listened for any danger. His looked down at the raven haired beauty knowing that if he ever lost her he may just very well die. His gaze moved from her to his clawed hand. He jumped down his landing would have been completely silent and undetected if not for a small twig he landed on. He saw her shoulders tense up for a moment before he hid behind a tree his movement as quick and silent as a light breeze. He watched as she turned around seeing nothing in the spot where he had once been. Her deep brown eyes looked relieved as she turned back into the water. He moved closer and his quiet moments he wrapped his cloth covered arms around her bare shoulders, she turned to looking into the golden eyes that she had learned to love so well.
"Inuyasha..." his name left her full rosy lips she turned wrapping her arms around him.
"Kikyou..." he said with a small smile both their eyes were hazy from the heat of the hot spring, she pulled him closer to her their torsos pressing together. He kissed her shoulder lightly.
"I love you" she told him as his lips left her shoulder Inuyasha took off his top and got in the warm water. Kikyou walked towards him in the water and wrapped her arms around his neck and ignoring her better judgment, ignoring everything she had ever been taught, ignoring the fact that she was a miko she kissed his lips. His arms circled her small waist. His lips left hers,
"I love you too" he said his lips crashing to hers. Kikyou knew what she wanted and Inuyasha was prepared to give her whatever that was.
"I want...to be yours." she whispered into his ear. Inuyasha looked at her his amber eyes were wide she looked up at him in all seriousness, his eyes softened and he brought his mouth to her neck and bit down gently as his fangs pierced her soft skin. She gasped in pain but his lips were soon on hers again he whispered words of apology into her ear as a tear fell from her eyes. Kikyou looked into his eyes softly as he started to remove his last articles of clothing.
Soon they lay in each others arms on the shore of the springs. Inuyasha's arms were around her protectively. He looked at her sleeping face and at the mark that had already healed where he had bitten her, now it was the mark of the great dog demon family, a deep violet crescent moon about one inch long. Her arms were around his waist as she cuddled into him. He had never seen Kikyou look so vulnerable or so fragile. Inuyasha knew that the villagers would be wondering where Kikyou had gone and why she was gone the whole night. He didn't care about them all he cared about was Kikyou and their time together. All he cared about now was his Kikyou, his mate. Of course even for a half demon he was young and his father would have looked down on his decision to pick a mate so early he would have advised him to wait. But he knew that he was in love with her and she loved him and what more was there that he needed to know.
Birds chirped loudly and for his heightened senses it was very annoying for him, the light was on his face making it warm in the one spot it was hitting him. He noticed there was a certain warmth that was missing from his side. He sat up yawning and rubbed his eyes with a slight whine. He jumped through the tree tops sitting in the tree by Kikyou's temple. He saw her smiling face as she played with a few children that wore tattered kimonos. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of her with the children. Inuyasha thought of what it would be like if he was a father and if Kikyou was a mother. But that was forbidden a priestess couldn't become impregnated by a half demon or a demon for that matter. It was impossible the priestess's miko energy would kill the child before it ever had the chance to live. Kikyou looked up sensing him and smiled in his direction.
Kikyou felt an odd pain in her abdomen for a moment. Inuyasha saw the slight look of pain of her face which she quickly hid behind a mask so that the children wouldn't see the pain in her eyes. Kikyou waved to the children before walking into the temple. Her long raven hair was pulled back in its usual low ponytail she felt the pain again. And then she knew as she read through a scroll. 'This can't be' she thought she knew this whole situation was forbidden but she didn't care. Kikyou started mixing herbs together in a bowl where she began to boil and crush them before drinking the bitter concoction she had created. Kikyou looked at the green grass of the forest and walked towards the god tree. She sat at its roots a small smile on her lips.
"Kikyou are you alright?" Inuyasha asked her concern in his voice. Kikyou looked at him.
"I'm fine Inuyasha" she told him as he sat beside her he brought his arm around her shoulders. Kikyou leaned into him.
"You smell different" he said to her he couldn't tell what it was though. Her usual scent was that of wildflowers on a spring day, now it was mixed with a muskier scent much like his own.
"Isn't that normal for someone who was just mated?" she asked him with a smile as the memory of the previous night filled her mind.
"I don't know its the first time I've ever mated...and no one ever explained it to me" Inuyasha told her a slight blush covering his fair cheeks.
"Well lets just say its normal then" she smiled at him, he crouched infront of her she got on his back and he took her into the tree top and went to the highest branch of the god tree. The sun had begun to set already, and the sky was a orange color. He sat down with Kikyou sitting between his knees leaning against his chest, his arms were wrapped around her waist.
"Its beautiful, up here Inuyasha" Kikyou smiled her arms on top of his.
"I thought you were afraid of heights Kikyou" he said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of anything when I'm with you" she told him lifting her head up he bent his head to allow his lips to capture hers. Kikyou smiled into the kiss.
Inuyasha left Kikyou at the gate of the village.
"Inuyasha...I'm going to have to go on a trip somewhere for a while...please watch over the village and Kaede for me" she told him.
"What do you mean you're going away?" he asked her.
"There is something I have to do" She told him seriously. Inuyasha looked at her through confused golden eyes.
"I promise I'll watch over the village and Kaede" he told her pulling her into a hug before he kissed her lips.
"Thank you" she smiled at him. Kikyou walked towards the temple and began to pack her things and readied a horse. Kikyou placed a hand on her abdomen where she knew that she it would swell with child. Her eyes filled with tears as she prepared everything for her near year long journey. It hurt her deeply to keep such a secret from Inuyasha but she would be stoned and Inuyasha would be killed with the aid of neighboring priestesses. It wasn't something that she wanted for either of them. It would bring much shame to both of them.
"Its the only way..." she whispered to herself as she walked out of the temple her bow and arrow on her back. The shikon no tama was around her neck she kicked the horse so that he'd take off at a high speed the faster and farther she was away the less time she'd have to change her decision. Inuyasha watched as the horse galloped away Kikyou's hair whipping behind her. He could still smell her wildflower scent in the wind even as she got further away.
+Nine Months Later+
Kikyou walked towards a manor in the west, where a great dog demon was supposed to live. Kikyou looked into the window where she saw a man resembling Inuyasha only his face was much more aristocratic looking, the sharp angular bones covered by pale skin. She felt the pain in her increase as she nearly doubled over. She hit the door with her fist hard. A small toad opened the door.
"What are you doing here, priestess?" he asked with an ignorant tone.
"I need to see your Lord" she told him holding on to her protruding stomach.
"Just what for?" he asked Kikyou was getting more annoyed by the second, she pulled her kimono to the side revealing the mark of the great dog demon family.
"Come in," he said grimly. "Lord Sesshoumaru...you're brother has taken a mate...she is here to see you." he said.
Sesshoumaru walked over to Kikyou who sat on an arm chair.
"What do you want priestess, I hope you realize I dislike my brother and anything having to do with him" he told her coldly no emotion showing on his beautiful face.
"I am in need of a favor" she told him, he looked at her his eye brow raised a fraction in interest.
"What is that?" he asked amused.
"I need to leave this child with you" she told him.
"I'm surprised you can even speak the pain must be immense. You are in labor and yet you're sitting here trying to negotiate with me" he said to her.
"I am in labor yes...with your niece or nephew...I can't take it back to my village" she said as a contraction hit her.
"You are a priestess...this shouldn't even be possible. Jaken take her upstairs to a guest room and I'll be up shortly" he said curious about how a priestess could be pregnant by a half demon. Sesshoumaru made his way upstairs where he could hear the slight whimpers of the beautiful woman his brother had mated. He walked into the room she was covered in a thin layer of sweat with a sheet on top of her bare body. He lifted the sheet so that it draped over her knees which were bent. Inuyasha had chosen well for choosing a human, he thought as he felt the strength radiating from Kikyou. She was dilated enough to start pushing.
"Kikyou you'll have to push with all you have" he told her. Kikyou waited before he gave the signal at which she pushed breathing through her teeth. Sesshoumaru looked at the priestess as she pushed again. Kikyou gave in to her pain and screamed out in pain. The pain she felt made her feel as if she would die.
"Push" his deep voice came again as the priestess began to let tears fall from her eyes.
"Inuyasha!" she screamed loudly Sesshoumaru could now see the baby's head covered in a wet black fuzz. Kikyou was now near the point of passing out and as the baby's aura began to fill the room he started to realize why.
"Inuyasha" she cried out one more time before pushing, Sesshoumaru caught helped guide the child out holding the small infant. A cry filled the room. Kikyou looked and blackness began to cloud her eyes as she passed out.
Sesshoumaru looked at Kikyou and took out tensaiga and swiping at the small demons that lead the spirits to rest. Kikyou lay sleeping in the bed. Sesshoumaru cleaned the little girl. He looked down at the human miko and then to the child whom she had bore to his brother. The full demon child that a human had given birth to.
She had gold eyes and black hair the pointed ears like her uncle, and black crescent moon on her forehead. She had two thin lines one on each cheek both black, also on her arms and hips. Kikyou woke up hours later Sesshoumaru placed the baby girl in Kikyou's arms.
"You should name her...I'll watch over her until she turns sixteen then she'll have to go to a temple" he said.
"Her name...Mika. She is a full demon with miko powers?" Kikyou asked.
"She is...usually these children are born disfigured or dead" Sesshoumaru said.
"But she survived everything and came out perfect" Sesshoumaru looked at Kikyou as she said this.
"You don't know how to care for a demon child so its smart of you to leave her here" Sesshoumaru said.
"I know...I'll leave in the morning" she said since Sesshoumaru had healed her it would be fine. Even if it was hard for her to leave she could do it she had to get back to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha sat in the tree top over the village he had faithfully fought and destroyed every demon that had come. His silver hair blowing in the wind as the wind blew passed his face he smelled the wildflowers in the air and saw Kikyou riding in to the village. Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and landed by the gate. Kikyou looked at him with a bright smile, they were together for a year before Onigumu had come into the picture and ruined everything between them.
A/N : I was browsing through some fan-arts and came across a picture of a pregnant Kikyou and decided to write this. I hate how everyone bashes Kikyou and makes her a whore in the their stories. This still could come out being Kagome and Inuyasha, but I would love to find a way to make it Kikyou and Inuyasha. Mika is the main character and her name means New Moon. She was born full demon but becomes half-demon on the new moon. Inuyasha never found out about his daughter.
