Shocked, Kagome found herself slumped by the well in her own time. Her eyes staring blankly forward in shock, not even noticing the the blood that drenched her shirt front. Half of it wasn't even hers.

Asako Higurashi was preparing a meal in the kitchen as she thought about Kagome. It had been a couple years since her daughter first fell down the Bone Eaters Well. Ever since then she'd been moving between the past and present. Even though she understood and supported her daughter there were times when she worried about her. Fighting for her life in a world of demons. Its enough to make even the strongest mother worry.

Kagome didn't tell them about all of her adventures. But whenever she told Souta about her adventures with Inuyasha, she couldn't help but feel like she was holding back, more recently then before. Inuyasha. When she first met him she could tell he was a good soul. It wasn't any special power like her daughter's, but as a mother it was something she just knew.

It was in the way he walked and talked. This boy had lived a harsh life. But, whether it was because of his life or his dog demon nature, one thing she could be sure of was that no matter what he would protect his friends. And that included Kagome. And as she listened to the stories Kagome told Souta, her suspicions were confirmed. Along with something else.

As time passed, she began to see it more and more. Most often when Kagome came storming home after a fight with Inuyasha. She giggled at the memories. Sometimes Kagome would storm home with a certain look in her eye. Asako didn't need to ask. She sometimes saw that look when her friends got into fights with their husbands or in some cases, boyfriends. She herself also wore that look after a fight with Kagome's father. So when Kagome first came home with that look on her face, she knew what had happened. Lovers spat.

And of course, shortly after she came home Inuyasha would chase her here to go get her. He often said 'they needed to get more shards' but Asako believed that wasn't the truth. And of course Souta admired the dog demon half breed. And whenever she was home, Souta would sometimes hound Kagome for stories about her trip. And after a lot of nagging, Kagome would of course humor her brother with tales about her and her friends exploits.

Leaving out, of course, the gruesome details for the sake of his young mind. Asako sighed as she thought about it. She just couldn't imagine what horrors she'd witnessed over there. And from what she'd heard, her friends had also suffered horrible things.

It seemed like whomever came in contact with the Shikon no Tama suffered some sort of horrible fate and for a brief terrifying moment, Asako wondered if her daughter a similar fate.

"Mom." Asako almost jumped at the suddenness of her daughters voice and turned to face Kagome who stood in the door to the kitchen.

"Kagome." She practically sighed with relief. Then she saw her daughter's appearance and almost cried as she moved towards her. Kagome leaned heavily on the doorframe as she looked down. She was bleeding from several cuts and gashes and was covered in blood.

"Kagome." Asako said in concern as she moved forwards.

Kagome looked at her and Miss Higurashi felt like her heart was being crushed as she looked into her daughter's lifeless eyes.

"It's alright mom." She said in an equally lifeless voice that made her wince. "It's not all mine."

"Oh Kagome." She cried as she gathered her child into her arms. Right then she wanted to cry. but she could tell Kagome needed her too be strong now more then ever.

"Mama it's over." Kagome mumbled into her ear, sadness in every word. "Naraku's gone and my friends are safe." At this point Kagome's voice began to break. "But the well's sealed and now I won't ever see him again."

At that point Kagome broke down and cried into her shoulder. Mama Higurashi pulled her daughter closer and began to rock back and forth and they sank to the floor.

"And Mama. I wasn't going to tell you till later, but we got married there." Her eyes widened at her daughter's choked words. "A few weeks ago, he confessed that he liked me. With how dangerous the fight with Naraku was getting, we decided to get married. It was a simple ceremony. Just my friends and Kaede joined us. We decided to surprise you when the danger passed. Then we could have a service here."

Asako nodded. Judging by what she heard, it made sense. "It's okay." She whispered as she stroked her head gently. Kagome shook her head.

"There's more." She continued. "A few days before we went to fight Naraku, we discovered that I'm bearing his child."

Asako's eyes widened too the size of dinner plates. Under normal circumstances such news would be joyous. The sort of thing to be celebrated. With sake and snacks and congratulations. Sometimes even a party. But these were not normal circumstances. And instead of celebrating, she was holding her bloody, crying daughter on the kitchen floor.

As she sat there, Kagome continued to cry for what seemed like an hour before her sobs began to peter out too silence. Turning her head at an odd angle, she saw that Kagome had fallen asleep. Clasping tighter, she pulled her into a sort of upright position and began to haul her to her room. As she walked her to the hall she found herself face to face with Souta.

"Souta!" She exclaimed. "I didn't hear you come home." At the same time she simultaneously berated herself not picking him up from school and wondered how much of the conversation he'd heard.

Souta looked up at her with innocent, worried eyes. "My friends and I walked home together." He then turned to is sister draped across his mother. "Will Onee-chan be okay?" Concern laced in the question.

Asako looked down at her son for a moment before answering. "I'm sure she'll be fine. Remember, your sister's strong." Inside she wondered how accurate her answer was. True Kagome was strong. But this was the worst wound anyone could suffer. She wasn't even sure Kagome could recover from this.

With Souta's help, she managed to get Kagome on her bed. After shooing Souta away, she removed Kagome's bloodied and torn clothes and began to clean and treat what wounds she could. Once that was done, she pulled Kagome's pajamas on, tucked her into bed and left to finish dinner.

Seven days. One week. Kagome pondered this as she sat in the warm bathtub thinking. Normally she would relish this. Despite the beautiful outdoor hot springs that she and her friends found once in a while, nothing could beat a good relaxing indoor bath at home. where she didn't have to worry about demons or peeping toms.

But right now, she didn't feel like relishing. Even though they'd destroyed Naraku and the jewel had been purified, she still felt gloomy. The well had sealed and she couldn't see her friends anymore. Not even him. She felt like a hole had been carved right out of her chest. She told herself to cheer up. That at least they weren't all dead. but she still felt like some part of her had curled up and died. She turned her gaze to the door, half expecting Inuyasha to stride through like he owned the place and demand that she come back to search for more jewels fragments.

Of course, Kagome would respond properly with a sit or two. She managed a weak smile at that before her air of gloom returned. But even if he wanted to he couldn't. The well was sealed. with him on one side and her on the other. She paused and began to fiddle with the necklace around her neck.

'Me and one other.' She corrected herself. She still remembered what Inuyasha said when he found out.

"Our pup will be strong. Just like it's mother."

'Strong just like it's mother eh?' She thought as she stood up and wrapped a towel around herself. 'I'm a wreck without you.' She then stalked to her bedroom and changed.

Walking downstairs, she saw her mother hang up the phone. Curious, she approached.

"Is something wrong mom?" She asked. Her mother shook her head but there was a certain sadness in her eyes.

"No." She replied. "Actually, I've arranged for you to stay with your cousins, the Tendo's."

Kagome blinked. "What? But why?!"

Mother put her hands on her shoulders. "Because you need to get out of here."

"But I just got back!"

"And I am glad for that." She replied as she pulled her daughter into a hug. "But this shrine has too many memories and they're eating away at you. I can't watch you hurt yourself anymore. And a change of scenery is just what you need."

"But. But. What about you. And Souta. And Grandpa."

Asako smiled at her daughter. "We'll be fine. We've done just fine without you around. Only this time, we'll be able to visit."

"But..."

Asako pulled her daughter's face up. "What about the baby?"

Kagome winced and began to rub herself.

"You need this." Asako asserted. "If not for yourself, then at least for me."

Begrudgingly, Kagome nodded. "Alright mom. for you."

At the same time, somewhere in Japan, there was a shouted "WHAT?!" as a certain panda told a certain boy about his future wife.

Well, figured it might be fun to do a Inuyasha/Ranma crossover. I'll be keeping it as clean as possible as per my standards. I got the idea of a pregnant Kagome from an Inuyasha/Ouran crossover. To be perfectly honest, I was bored and had this idea knocking around in my head. I hope I havn't offended anyone with the whole marriage and child. I personally wouldn't do mine that way, but I didn't want Kagome to have a kid out of wedlock. I don't believe in that kind of stuff. And I don't think Kagome doe's either. that just opens a major can of worms. Also as village priestess, Kaede has 'authority' to wed. Anyways, enjoy and please read my other stories. And review. I love it when you guys review.
