Fragile Hearts

Chapter 1

The moon was shining brightly down into the forest as the now nineteen year old miko quietly gathered water from a fresh stream. Her protector was close by watching her every move carefully. She sighed deeply as she continued to gather the water. It was true she could possibly hide it for a few weeks, but she knew that because of what Inuyasha was she would not be able to hold out for long. He would sense it somehow. He would sense the life that grew within her. Kagome closed her eyes as she drew on the memories of the previous day.

FLASHBACK

"Higurashi, Kagome." The nurse called out into the waiting room.

Kagome stood and slowly walked to the door, she had yet to tell anyone. She wanted to be sure that she was pregnant before alarming everyone. She would be embarrassed if it turned out to be a false alarm. Walking through the door and down the quite hallway of the doctors office her heart beat quickly. She knew that if she was in fact with child, and if she was she knew that it was his…she would not be able to give birth in a normal hospital…no she would have to do it the old fashioned way. That was what scared her the most. Taking a seat on the exam table Kagome awaited the doctor. After a while the nurse walked in and handed her a gown telling her to undress and put the gown in place of her cloths. Kagome did as she was told and then doctor came in not long after. The doctor gave her the test, and examined her to make sure she was in good health, after all was said and done. The doctor told her exactly what she thought she would.

"Miss Higurashi you are expecting."

Kagome nodded and smiled. She was happy, scared, and sad all at the same time. Happy because she was going to be a mommy, scared because she was going to have to do it with no help from modern doctors, and sad because she wasn't sure how he would react.

END FLASHBACK


"Kagome, what's taking so long?" He asked as she snapped back to the present.

Kagome looked down to see that the canteen was overflowing. She shook her head and quickly put the cap back into place, going to the next canteen and filling it.

"Sorry, my mind was drifting Inuyasha." Kagome replied.

The fact that he hadn't even acknowledged what happened between them was hard, she had even thought of never coming back. But she couldn't do it. Plus she knew he had never meant it to happen. It had been over a month and he hadn't said a word to her about it. It hurt a lot when he just got up and walked away from her without saying a thing after it had happened. He even avoided her for a week and, however what hurt her the most was that even after all that he still went back to Kikyo still to this day she haunted him. She knew that she had to tell him about the child. She remembered what Kaede had told her about demons, that a demon child will grow faster then a human child…so Kagome knew she wouldn't have to wait the normal nine months. For a full demon it would take four months so being as this child was born from a human and a half-demon she gave it seven months. She felt him moving towards her.

"Kagome, your not sick are you?" he asked her.

Kagome shook her head and stayed quiet. It was hard to be this close to him now. She wanted to turn around and fall into his arms; she wanted him to hold her. However, she knew he wouldn't…he didn't love her, not the way she wanted him too. She knew he might have loved her in some light, but that night, which seemed so long ago. She couldn't help but think that he was only seeing Kikyo, not her…he never saw her. She felt the tears stinging at the back of her eyes. They were threatening to spill at any given moment.

"Inuyasha, what would you say to me maybe going home?" Kagome asked.

"What do you mean Kagome? You just got back from your time!" Inuyasha yelled at her.

"No I mean…you know permanently." Kagome started. "It's not like you need me anymore, we got the jewel now all you have to do is go after Naraku. I mean, I don't want to be in your way anymore." Kagome said as the first of her tears came through.

Inuyasha looked at her, his eyes blank. She had to go, she couldn't stay here. This way he would never have to know, she could have the child and raise it normally then he can go off an be happy with Kikyo. This is what she wanted; she wanted to make him happy even if it meant to never see him again.

"No." He said.

Kagome looked up at him as her tears began to flow freely. Why wouldn't he let her go? He didn't need her here, and she didn't want to be here.

"Why not?" She asked going back to the water.

"Because when this is all over, who is going to protect the jewel? I can't do it…" Inuyasha said.

"You can have it, you know to become full demon or whatever. And if you don't use it Kikyo can protect it just as she did before I came along. Everything can go back to normal. And since I will no longer be in this time that means Kikyo can have her soul back. I can have mine and live normally in my time. Everything will be back to normal…everything will be okay again." Kagome said trying to sound happy.

"Kagome, what's wrong? Why do you want to go home so badly?"

"I just have to, I don't belong here, in this time. Kikyo said it herself. And, she was right. Now that I am no longer needed I just think it would be better if I left you and her and everyone else in this era to themselves and let you live your life out the way it should be."

"Kagome…I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for you." Inuyasha said. "So you see I wouldn't have a life to live out if it wasn't for you. So you must have been sent here for a reason right?" He asked.

"Yes, and now that reason is over with."

"No, you have to stay."

Kagome frowned. This was getting her nowhere. She finished with the last canteen and put the cap on tightly. She grabbed all three and handed them to Inuyasha with care.

"I won't even bother going back with you. I can leave that old backpack here, you can keep everything that is in it, and when you run out of supplies your welcome to come back to my time and stock up." Kagome said with a smile.

Inuyasha dropped the canteens and grabbed Kagome's wrist.

"Why are you so fixed on leaving?"

"Why are you so set on making me stay?" Kagome asked.

She looked at him, his eyes were as amber as always. She saw anger there, was he mad at her now? Because she was leaving him? He should be happy not mad, everything was going wrong.

"Is this because of what happened?" He asked quietly.

Kagome breath caught in her throat. He was finally mentioning it. Because she was planning on leaving he was going to bring everything up.

"No, I mean I know it wasn't supposed to happen, it was an accident right?" Kagome said with a nervous laugh.

"An accident?"

"Yeah, you were upset about something. You came to me, and things got out of hand. No big deal right? I actually forgot all about it." Kagome replied in a cheerful tone.

"You forgot?" He asked his eyes turned from angry to sad in a second.

Kagome frowned, she thought he would just let her go home after that. But now she had made him sad. How could she say such a horrible thing to him? Kagome sighed.

"No, I didn't forget I just thought you would have wanted me too." Kagome replied sadly.

"Why would I want you to forget?" He asked.

"It wasn't supposed to happen, you didn't mean for it too." Kagome replied.

Inuyasha stood there listening to her go on about how he didn't want it to happen. How could she know what he wanted? She wasn't him, and everything he did was for her. How could she not see that by now?

"And now because of that I'm pregnant!" Kagome blurted out falling to her knees as painful sobs wracked her body.

To Inuyasha the world was in slow motion. He watched as she cried because of what was going on with her. She was going to have a baby and he was the one that helped make it.

"That's why you wanted to leave?"

Kagome nodded without speaking or looking up.

"You wanted to leave and take that away from me?" He said as he kneeled down next to her.

"I didn't want you to feel like you needed to give up everything for me. You don't love me anyways…you love her, and this would just make you feel guilty, I didn't want to complicate your life."

"You thought that a small detail like this would complicate my life?" Inuyasha asked with a laugh.

"Well, yes…"

"My life is full of complications and this is not one of them."

"What about Kikyo?" Kagome asked.

"I can still protect her too, I just will protect you more. I used to think I owed her my life, but now that I actually think about it, it's really you that I owe. You not only gave me a life of my own, but you're about to give me another one."

Kagome flung her arms around Inuyasha. As she continued to cry, everything was going to be all right after all. He gently pulled away from her picked up the canteens of water and pulled her up to his side. The two walked back to the small bonfire in silence. Kagome because she was to tired to talk and Inuyasha because he was too happy. All the while they were being watched by someone in the shadows. Neither of them being able to sense it because their minds were too far away for the time being.

A/n Okay well that's the first chapter, yes…that means I will be updating. I don't know when, and I have no clue what will happen it will most likely either be a short story or I'll end up screwing it up so badly that even I will flame myself…something I do a lot…well reviews please. And thanks for reading I suppose.
