As the figure stepped into the light, everyone gasped.

"Kagome?" they screeched.

Before the young Miko could respond she was grabbed into a forceful hug.

"Careful, Sango. You'll hurt the baby." Kagome whispered

"Oh yeah, ri- YOU'RE PREGNANT?" Sango screeched.

All eyes were on Kagome, but It was not she who answered. The second figure came into the light, revealing himself to be none other than Naraku.

"Yes, she is pregnant slayer. If you're wondering who the father is, you've found him." He said coolly

"Kagome, HOW COULD YOU?" Inuyasha bellowed.

"Silence half-breed. You have no say in what she does or who she sleeps with. You already made your bed when you mated that corpse. We're not here to fight, as I no longer wish to have the jewel. I have what I want, and that is my family. If you don't believe me, then here, take this." Naraku said as he held the jewel in his hand.

Inuyasha couldn't believe it. Here was Naraku, the man who tried to kill them on several occasions, with HIS miko! And now he wants to hand over the jewel!

"Why should we believe you?" Kikyo questioned.

Naraku couldn't help but glare at the undead priestess. "You should trust me because I am here for Kagome. You are her friends, and my mate needs her friends during this difficult time. She must stay happy in order for our pup to survive."

"How did this happen, Kagome? How could you sleep with him?" Inuyasha cried

"The same way you slept with Kikyo." She began, "but I'm not here to fight Inuyasha. I'm here to see my friends, and to visit my family."

"Kagome, you can't mean… you told him about your family? What if he can use the well and he hurts your family? What if he messes up the future?" Inuyasha yelled.

"I've already thought about that Inu… and Naraku would never do anything to harm our child. I believe that he loves me whole heartedly." Kagome said.

"Keh. You're nuts woman!"

"Okay Inu, I understand. Now could you please get out of my way? We would like to go to my home for a few days. We will return in about four days to see you all." Kagome said as she reached to give the slayer a hug.

Sango embraced the young woman, "I support you no matter what Kagome. No matter your decision, you are still my sister and I still love you."

"As do I, Lady Kagome." Miroku chimed in.

Kagome and Naraku made their way into Inuyasha's forest and towards the bone eaters well. Once they reached the lip of the well Kagome began to talk.

"Well, here it is, the way to my home. Are you ready, Naraku? I'm still not sure if the well will let you through." Kagome said.

"That's okay love. If the well doesn't let me pass, I shall wait in Kaede's village for your return." He said as he nibbled on her ear.

"I pray it let's you pass through, you won't be welcomed in her village." Kagome started, "Alright Naraku, hold my hand. Now when I count to three we jump."

"One. Two. Three. JUMP!" She yelled.

The pair jumped into the well and were engulfed in a bright blue light. As the light faded Kagome could see the outline of the well house, she was home. She turned around and low and behold, Naraku had made it through too.

God gramps was going to freak when he saw Naraku. He knows all about the adventures with him from Kagome's own stories and from different stories that were passed down through history.

"Mom, Gramps, Souta, I'm home!" She yelled.

"We're in the kitchen dear." Her mother yelled back

Kagome and Naraku began to climb to the top of the well, and made their way to the kitchen. As soon as Kagome opened the door, her mother pulled her into a hug.

"Oh I've missed you my little baby! How have you been? How are your friends? Are you okay? Do you need anything? How are you and Inuyasha?" Mrs. Higurashi began.

"Mom calm down! I'll tell you all about it after I grab something to eat. But first mom, I have something really important to tell you." Kagome said.

Mrs. Higurashi sat down in the seat closest to Kagome and readied her ears.

"Okay, I'm ready, tell me what's been happening hunny." She said.

"Okay, well first of all mom. This is Naraku, and he is…..my husband, and we are expecting." Kagome said with a grimace.

Mrs. Higurashi's face got dark and contorted. "You're married and expecting my grandchild? … I really have missed a lot while you've been gone."

"'Oh mom! Don't be sad, I came here because I just recently found out. I just wanted to tell you because I might not be able to come back any time soon." Kagome said.

"I understand dear. I'll go ahead and make you and my son-in-law some food." She said with a wink.

"Okay Naraku. Would you like to meet my friends?" Kagome asked.

"What are friends?" He asked.

"You're about to find out." She replied.
