UNEXPECTED LOVE
A few months before...
Shigure walked up the stairs to Gong's house. He had had yet another fight with Akito. He saw Chi by the nearby lake. She waved. He walked down to her.
" My sister's not home." Chi said.
" That's okay. I mostly came here to get away from everything. It can be quite peaceful here at times." Shigure told her.
" I have noticed you here a lot in the past two years. You always seem to be writing."
" This place is a constant source of insperation."
" Yes, high school girls everywhere." Chi grinned.
Shigure laughed. " That too."
Chi smiled at him. " You look so sad, Shigure."
" Not sad just tired."
" If you came for a place to rest I can take you to one of the rooms."
"No, it's okay. Your a recent birthday girl, aren't you.Your eighteen years old now. I remember on your mom's 18th birthday your dad proposed to her.Any lucky boy in your life ?"
Chi blushed." Well there's someone I truly care about but he's not a boy, he's older than me and he's also so sad lately."
Shigure's face froze as he put what Chi said together. " Me?" Chi nodded yes. " Chi - Chi, I don't know what to say."
" What I feel for you is more than just a school girl crush, Shigure. I've loved you for the last two years."
" Chi, I - " Shigure started to talk but Chi put one of her fingers on his lips then she moved her face closer to his. " Chi, I noticed your feelings but ignored them because you deserve someone younger and better.Plus you weren't exactly legal."
" I am now."
Shigure laughed. " Yes you are. Your not gonna take no for an answer are you ?" Before Chi could respond Shigure kissed her. He kept kissing her. He was suprised at how much he enjoyed kissing the young woman.He finally pulled away. " You know if I was a better man I'd walk away. Why me though ? I'm almost 50."
" Shigure, when I see you I don't see age or limitations, I see a funny man full of life and endless oppertunities. Your life is far from over and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
As Shigure got into his Inuyasha costume for the anime - con ,Chi walked out of the bathroom and showed him a positive pregnacy test. " Shigure, I took 5 of them, all the same results.
It looks like we are pregnant. What the hell are we gonna do?"
