Hi, please go easy on this story…first time… I will warn you know, there will be tons of grammatical errors all over in this story. This takes place when Kagome is already out of school (she will be 18 in the beginning ) So let's get this story rolling! This first chapter will be longer than most that I will post just because I want to get into the story. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: Well as sad as I know it is, I do NOT own InuYasha.
Chapter 1
Kagome lowered her bow and let out a shaky breath. Naraku was burnt to a crisp before he hit the ground, that's how much power was in her shot. InuYasha slid from Naraku's grasp and hit the ground with a solid thud.
Kagome ran over and dropped to her knees before her wounded hanyou. She gave him a light shake and he just moaned and turned away from her. She let out a small giggle. He would live.
Miroku and Sango stumbled aver to them, both leaning heavily on their weapons. They looked over the two and helped to stand InuYasha up. His head lulled to the side and Kagome just pushed it to the side and continued to walk to their camp.
Kagome cleaned InuYasha's many cuts while also removing the dirt and mud from his robes that sat drying by the fire. Sango was fast asleep a long side Miroku who keep staring at his know smooth palm. She thought over the nights events.
They had sensed Naraku, so they all took off running and flying to get to the spot before the barrier came back up and they lost him again.
When they got to the place Naraku's evil aura coming from, they were met by a very surprised looking hanyou and his equally confused reincarnations. As normal, InuYasha rushed into battle and almost lost his life. When she knew if she didn't do something, he would most likely die she let all of her powers flood into that one arrow and shot it for all she was worth. It had snapped Naraku's barrier like paper and killed him in one, very painful, second.
We later learned that Naraku had been transported away from his castle by some unknown force. Kagome didn't care who did it, she was just happy that evil man was gone. Her hand reached up and clamped protectively around the almost complete Sacred Jewel. She would use it as an excuse to keep coming to see InuYasha.
It was dark out. That's all he could tell. He smelt Kagome's scent, it was like fresh picked apples and cherry blossoms. A slight movement by his right arm caused him to open his eyes and look at the tall woman that had pulled herself into a tight ball by his side. Shippo, who had stayed behind, was cuddled into her tight embrace.
He let out a quiet "Keh" and shifted so one of his arms was light thrown across her body. Then, he drifted off to sleep.
The mountain they were heading to was just a few short miles away from InuYasha's Forest. It had been having some demon trouble since Naraku's death. Kagome held tightly to InuYasha's neck as they sped through the trees.
"Why do we have to help them?" InuYasha said with a snotty tone of voice.
"Yes! It was us that killed Naraku, so we have to help the people affected by his freed demons." Kagome said in her I'm-in-charge-so-don't-mock-me voice.
"Last time I checked, you killed him so…" He said still moving to the looming mountains.
"But we're a team and teams stick together, whether you like it or not."
InuYasha just snorted and turned his face away from hers as he kept up his fast pace. The mountain loomed above them as they made the steep climb. Kagome held on tightly to InuYasha's robe as he lightly bounded from ledge to ledge. When they finally made it to the top, a thick mist clung around the mountain top.
Everyone agreed they would wait till morning to go hunt down the demons, seeing as they couldn't put on foot in front of the other without tripping over something. InuYasha jumped up to go get fire wood.
Kagome's back became stiff and she said "I sense a sacred jewel shard. It's Kohaku's." She muttered the last part but even then Sango's head snapped up. She stood up fast and jumped onto Kirara. Miorku calmly stood up and slid lightly on to the cat's back.
"Get off you pervert."
"...Do you want him to get away?" He smirked and Sango called to the cat. They flew into the dark sky.
Kagome looked around and saw that Shippo was not sleeping in her sleeping bad like normal. She started to get worried and was having a full blown panic attack by the time InuYasha got back. He dumped the wood on the fire and walked over to ask her what was wrong.
She spun around and was talking deep calming breaths as she kept her eyes trained on InuYasha.
"Hey…just wanted to tell you that Sango stopped by on her way to talk to Kohaku…Shippo fell asleep on Kirara's back…They are just going to leave him with her when they confront him…hey are you ok?" InuYasha said with a look that was a mix between Well-she-is-crazy and Is-this-normal?
After hearing Shippo was ok, Kagome calmed down. She stomped off to her sleeping bag and sat on it. The mist crept in, unknown to the two. It floated lightly around InuYasha's feet and Kagome's legs.
Kagome's head started two get foggy and she looked up at the half-demon. He looked down at her with the same confused look. His mind pointed out that Kagome looked breath-taking looking at him with her bright brown eyes. Before the rational part of his brain could stop him, he cupped her chin in his hands and pressed his lips to hers.
Kagome's mind was screaming at her, Something's wrong! But she pushed away those mean thoughts and more on the confusing scene before her. The mist pressed in closer to the two and all thoughts left her brain.
Kagome lightly pulled InuYasha down to the sleeping bag with her. He placed his hands above her head, bracing himself above her. Kikyo would not allow him to kiss her like this. She liked to be in charge, but Kagome didn't mind. He pushed all thoughts of the dead miko out of his mind and focused on the young woman underneath him.
NEXT MORNING…
Kagome rolled over only too hit a wall. 'When did Shippo get so big?' She thought. She opened her sleep eyes only gasp in surprise. A smooth, tan chest met her gaze. Her eyes slowly rose to meet InuYasha's closed eye lids. She jumped away and muffled a scream when she stood up and noticed she had nothing on but InuYasha's robe. She quickly searched for her uniform and found it in pieces by a tree. She just thought back to last night and came up with a blank 'What happened?' she tried to calm herself but she just managed to get herself more worked up. 'Nothing happened. InuYasha got cold so we snuggled and he gave me his robe…that wouldn't work, InuYasha doesn't snuggle!'
As she tried to convince herself that last night was some unheard of phenomenon, InuYasha's ears twitched and he let out a heavy sigh. Kagome shuffled over and looked down at him. His eye's slowly opened to see a scared miko wearing his robe of the fire rat! He meant to make her take it off but when his hand pulled on the sleeve to let her know he wanted it back, she let out a light squeak and pulled the clothing closer to her body.
He jumped up, intending to get his shirt (A/N I have NO idea what to call it…)and Kagome screamed and clamped her hands around her eyes. InuYasha's eyes widened as he saw his pants (Again don't know what to call them…) lying in a crumpled pile behind the hyperventilating Kagome. He made a noise that sounded like a strangled goose and ran over to his pants. He pulled them on and looked at Kagome, who had pulled herself into the fetal position and was rocking back and forth.
"What did you do?" InuYasha yelled at her, but she just mumbled a reply that sounded like she was talking to herself. "WHAT DID YOU DO?" his voice was full of anger and she spun on him to tell him that, but when she made her fists she forgot to hold close the only scrap of clothing she was wearing. InuYasha's breath hitched and Kagome promptly let out ANOTHER scream and spun around.
"Why don't you have anything on?" His mind was racing. Almost nude Kagome plus naked InuYasha equaled not good to him.
Sango and Miorku returned later that day to see Kagome staring at a tree and InuYasha looking at Kagome staring at a tree. It was a long night.
Kagome's mind was racing, she had no idea what to think. Her mind could only come to that conclusion and that was a thought she didn't want to think about at the moment. The same thoughts flashed through his mind, but his take on what happened was…diluted.
'She must have drugged me with her miko powers then stole my robe and then felt so bad she freaked out' He though "yup that must be it!'
The next morning they took off. Kagome refused to ride on InuYasha's back, so instead rode with Sango. They all where tense and when they reached the village, Kagome, Sango, and Shippo made their way the hot springs.
"So what was up with InuYasha and you today?" Sango asked.
"Well…see this morning I woke up and I was in InuYasha's robe… nothing BUT InuYasha's robe, I know what you're thinking but hear me out, both of us couldn't remember what happened the night before. We just kind of ignored it for now…" Sango's mouth was hanging open and she was just staring at Kagome."What?"
"You know you could have had…you know… it with him right?" The demon-slayer asked.
"I prefer to ignore that for right now. I'm leaning more to the idea of amnesia and abnormal stealing of clothing at night."
"…"
Three days. Her period was three days late. Sure she panicked, she was one of the lucky few girls who always had on schedule days but nope, not now. She was in her room, in her time, pacing and making a rut in her bedroom floor.
She snapped her head up at a though. 'A pregnancy test. It will tell me that I'm just crazy' She slammed her feet into her shoes and ran out the door.
Her feet highly slapped the ground as she ran. She was scared so she when to the farthest convenience store to buy it. There she was less likely to be seen by people she knew.
After grabbing the nicest looking one, and paying for it she sprinted for home. She hid the small box under her skirt and walked right up to her room after quickly telling her family hello.
The small rectangular box of shame. That was what she called the test that was now sitting on the sink top as she thought. She didn't have the courage to open it yet. With one last shaky breath she pushed her bathroom door shut.
Positive. That's what the damn test said. Her eyes started to water and she looked at her tummy. It was as flat as it had always been, but it was somehow also rounder than she remembered. She leaned her head down and cried into her curled up legs.
Kaede's eyes looked down at Kagome's already larger tummy. Even Sango asked about it, and Kagome told her with lots of pleading to get her to keep quiet. But the old woman only smiled lightly and handed her some of her old miko clothing. Kagome looked at the miko with confusion.
"Run Kagome. Take the clothing and find a find a place to raise this young one." A smile again spread across her old face and made her look young. Kagome just nodded and was on her way out when she spun to ask the miko something.
"Do I tell him?" it was barely a whisper, but her ears still heard the question.
"No. We will wait till later, come back when you are ready Kagome. Be strong, for both of you." She lightly placed her hand on her stomach and Kagome calmly walked out the door to find her new home.
That's it! Did you like it? I'm really scared no one will read it! Well if you like it, please comment! Thanks!
