Author's Note: Ahem! I am sorry
for the misunderstanding here. To compensate for the problems
that arose from my mistake, here are some explanations to your
questions:
1. This is what is happening after the quest is over. Kagome and
Inuyasha are a couple, lifemates (officially together).
2. Inuyasha works as a detective, allowing him to do something
that would interest him, exercise his insticts, adapt to the city
better (spells and other techniques could be implemented, you
will see ^_^) and earn some money all at once!
3. **Spoiler** Well, there is one tricky point about the
pregnancy thing: most mammals do not throw up at all (well, at
least not dew to being pregnant!) and vomit tends to have an
overwhelming and resonant smell. I seriously doubt her pregnancy
gives off as strong a scent as that! And enhanced scent capacity
does not mean he could figure out what her smell truly meant. He
will notice it, though, when she will start taking Vomex (good
against nausea, even for pregnant women).
Chapter 1
Oh, dear...
'What is wrong with her? She has not been well for a week or so...' said a very concerned Inuyasha, leaning against the wall that stood on the opposite side of the hall, facing the bathroom door. Another groan and a spluttering sound came out of the room, then a whimper, all of them making him wince. 'I've seen sick people throwing up but this is getting so frustrating! She has not had a single day without having nausea for the whole fucking week! What could be wrong?'
At that moment, Kagome finally exited the bathroom, and managed to direct a weak smile to her mate. That was little relief for him, but it was something, anyway. "I think you should see a doctor, my love. I am really worried at your condition!"
"I know... My mother must have given you one major headache." she said, pity in her eyes.
'Tell me about it... Your mother was OK, jii-chan and his warding spell-tags were the real trouble!' Inuyasha thought, a rather amusing grimace of pure disgust plastered on his face.
Kagome brought him back to reality with a kiss. Inuyasha responded quite fast, deepening the kiss, running his tongue in her mouth... only to have the same look of disgust, eyes wide and ready come out of their sockets, this time pulling away from the passionate kiss, almost barfing then and there himself. He would be more careful the next time she had thrown up or something, even if she had washed her mouth; a human would not have noticed this, but he was not fully human now, was he? Damn that sense of taste!
"I'm sorry, sweetheart, forgot you might be able to trace it..." was Kagome's reply, half sad, half humourously for what happened to her poor husband. She snuggled in his chest, comforting him in an instant by scratching one of his cute, furry ears.
"Keep doing that and I'll make sure you will not be able to visit the doctor today... or even for a week!"
"You pervert!" she said, stopping abruptly her soothing antics. "Well, I'll go to my physician to have a check-up. I have not had one for what seems like ages."
"Alright. Would you like me to drop you by?"
Kagome thought of Inuyasha carrying her on his back and
jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Some other time, maybe...
"It's OK, you should go to work, don't you think?"
"Keh... My mate is more important than any investigation I may have!"
"Thank you, but you really like the job, don't you? Working as a detective gives you all the time to work on your insticts; I am sure that's the reason you are still doing it."
Inuyasha's only responce was "Keh! Whatever..." and then he left, closing the door behind him softly yet irritated.
'Always the same, aren't you, Inuyasha? That's alright, though. I love you.'
Kagome grabbed the telephone and dialed her doctor's number to arrange the check-up.
Hope you liked it. If you believe Inuyasha was out of character, well, we have not trully seen him in any true romance scene, so assumptions are something normal. Thoughts are always welcome, whether nice or criticising. Sorry if this chapter is small.
