Things Are Never As Simple As Black And White

Summary: Kagome's pregnant with Inuyasha's child. One catch.. Kagome's still a virgin! And Inuyasha and her haven't even admitted how they feel for one another yet.

This is yet another of my Inuyasha and Kagome fictions. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to give any comments you believe necessary.

Chapter 1: Getting Even

It was yet another unbelievable hot summer day. Villagers worked and some swam in the river to cool themselves down.

A young girl, at the age of seventeen walked down the river path in search of the hanyou she secretly loved.

Kagome was wearing her usual school uniform and was sweating half to death. She wiped her forehead for good measure and hoped in some strange way such a simple gesture would cool her down.

She had decided to stay with Inuyasha and the others for her summer vacation, which had just recently started. She didn't mind spending her time with Inuyasha. Although stubborn, when they were alone they could get in a real conversation once in a while.

The group had chosen to take a break of their own. Lately their battles were getting more and more complicated and the heat was slowing them down. Inuyasha was sick of it.

Kagome came to the spot Inuyasha sat. He has his haori top off, exposing his bare and beautiful chest. It was tan and had a tinge of sweat from the heat of the sun. His chest was lean and hard, as was his build. His hair lightly slung around his shoulders. Kagome blushed when she realized she was staring.

Inuyasha had come far enough so you wouldn't find him unless you went on a little walk, probably because he wanted to be alone.

Kagome walked toward him. She watched as he rubbed his chin to clear the perspiration from it. His fingers lightly scrapped his warm welcoming lips as he did so.

"Hey." Inuyasha said when Kagome appeared beside him.

"Hey yourself." Kagome smiled and sat next to him. "It sure is hot." 'You sure are hot.' She thought with a small grin. Than she spit realizing what she was thinking so innapropriately.

"Feh, it's just heat. We're going to find some more jewel shards as soon as it cools down." He turned his head up a little. "You weak humans can't even handle a little warmth. How pathetic." He turned away from her.

"You're not hot?" Kagome asked. She got no answer. "So you took your top off because your cold?"

"Feh. I just needed it cleaned. It was covered in blood." He gestured to a branch above and to the side of them. His tops hung and dripped dry.

"It's kind of hot to be leaving and traveling, don't you think?"

"Oh, so we're only supposed to travel half a year! If we keep taking breaks in the summer and winter we're not going to accomplish anything."

"I don't mean take a break off the whole summer. It'll cool down in a couple of days and stay that way for a while." Inuyasha didn't reply and only leaned farther back into the tree. "So.." Kagome looked at the river. "Want to go swimming?"

"I don't play your stupid games."

"It's not a game, it's a sport Inuyasha. It'll cool us both down. Come on." Kagome stood up.

"I told you I ain't hot. I don't need to be cooled down."

"Well than just come in and have some fun. Do you want to sit under this tree all day?" Kagome removed her shirt and skirt, to reveal and matching, two piece bathing suit. It was red and faded to orange on the end. Inuyasha stared at the beauty before him for a moment and than turned away.

Him and Kagome had been less caring about what one another saw lately. They had grown more trusting of one another over the years. They had seen it all anyway. There wasn't much left to hide. Inuyasha had walked in on Kagome countless times while she bathed. Mostly because she would scream over something as simple as a spider. Kagome had accidentally walked on Inuyasha a few times. He wasn't so modest though so he didn't really mind as much as Kagome did.

"Feh, there's no time for fun." Inuyasha stood up as she gave him a look that said 'just come on and give in already.'

"Well.. if you won't go on your own.." She turned quickly towards the water with panic. "A jewel shard! In the water.. It's moving fast!"

"What? Where?" Inuyasha went and dived in. He popped his head out of the water and looked around quickly for a demon in the water. He found none and gave Kagome a questioning look. She was on the ground laughing her brains out pointing to Inuyasha. He glared and realized what had happened.

"You.." she began between laughs. "You.. should.. have seen your.. face." She kept laughing and mocked him. "'What? Where!'" She took a deep breath to come herself down. She sat up and looked at the glaring Inuyasha. "Oh, come on. Tell me it doesn't feel nice in the water on such a hot day?"

"Keh." he crossed his arms over his chest. It did feel nice to cool down a little. He suddenly her a splash as Kagome jumped on. She came up from under the water and made a sign in relief.

"Feel nice." She said and looked at him. "Don't you think?"

"Whatever." Inuyasha ducked under water and decided it was his turn to be the fooler instead of the fooled. He swam around under water as far away from Kagome as he could, to the point she wouldn't see him get out of the water.

Kagome hummed to herself quietly basking in the water and sun. 'It's hot, but beautiful.' She opened her eyes and ducked her head under water. She came back up expecting Inuyasha to be there. He wasn't.

"Inu.. yasha." She looked from left to right and couldn't see him anywhere. Her eyes widened. 'What if.. he can't swim?' she looked around in worry. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome dove underwater and tried to find him along the bottom. He wasn't there. 'I didn't see him get out.' She came back up and breathed in some air. 'What if he floated down the river!' She became more frantic. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" She ran out of the river and began to run along the edge.

As much as she ran he was no where around. She was about to break down into tears. She felt as though this was all her fault. 'Oh, no.. he can't be..' She stopped running and looked into the river.

"Eek!" She screamed as she felt a pressure on her back. She was slammed into the river by a force. "AH!" She screamed and came up from the water to breath wondering if she was attacked. She saw a hysterical Inuyasha.

He was laughing at her. He had apparently been the force to push her into the water.

"God, Kagome." Inuyasha stopped laughing. "You should have seen yourself." He looked at her clearly. She was angry and yet.. relieved? "Huh?"

"Idiot!" She slammed his arm with her palm. "I thought you were dead. Baka! That's not funny. I was really worried." She looked away.

"Hey don't take it so seriously, okay?" Inuyasha came closer and placed a hand on her back. She started crying. "Stop.. don't cry.. It was only a joke. To get even...Kagome?" He suddenly saw her smirk wickedly as his head was smashed under water as she jumped on him.

He came up gasping for air and this time Kagome laugh again.

"Okay.. now we're even." She smiled. He put on his pout.

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. It was kind of short I know. Please bare with me though.
