Kagome lay on top of Inuyasha, his haori covering her. Inuyasha kissed Kagome's neck as she rested her head on his torso. "You realize... There's a chance I may have your child before Naraku is killed..." Kagome said. Inuyasha felt her cringe at the thought Naraku may kill them before hand.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome.

"I know..." Kagome let a tear accidently fall onto his torso.

"Oh, now, Kagome. We'll kill him before anything like that happens..." Inuyasha smiled, and Kagome giggled. Then Inuyasha went onto the top of Kagome and started kissing Kagome.

The next morning, Kagome got up and changed into loose pants and a tee, since her school uniform was too small. Then she poked Inuyasha's cheek, "Get up, sleepy-head." She grinned as she tossed him his hakama pants and haoris.

After Inuyasha and Kagome were ready (the sun wasn't even up yet!), they went to Kaede's hut to see a lecherous monk. "So... You sly dog..."

"Look, just because your thoughts are right, Monk..." Inuyasha whispered, glaring at Miroku.

"Oh, now I know you two aren't planning on having any little Inuyashas, are you?" Miroku asked.

"Um, not right now..." Kagome blushed.

"Yeah, not until you get your thoughts straight..." Inuyasha folded his arms.

"Oh..." Miroku acted disappointed, but he couldn't hide his smirk. Inuyasha and Kagome sadly shook their heads as Shippou and Sango stirred from their sleeps.

"Kagome! Inuyasha! You're back in this hut! Why'd you leave us?" Shippou asked.

"Er..." Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other with red faces.

"I understand." Sango smiled.

"Dumb monk." Shippou hit Miroku in the face with his top, "I know what was happening because of you rotting my mind!"

"Ow-- Hey! Don't blame me you listen to me!" Miroku tossed away the top. Everyone laughed.

"Time to beat Naraku." Inuyasha stood up, followed by Kagome, Sango, and a red-faced Miroku. Shippou leapt onto Inuyasha's shoulder.

Later, Kagome was mad at Inuyasha, because what Inuyasha did was stupid. Shippou had asked if Inuyasha still loved Kikyou, and Kagome was suddenly saddened. So Inuyasha tossed Shippou behind them. So Kagome sat him and ignored Inuyasha.

"Kagome! He shouldn't ask me stuff like that!" Inuyasha repeated. After the 10th time, Kagome responded.

"But that doesn't mean hurt Shippou! He's young, he doesn't know!" Kagome had tears in her eyes.

"Let's leave these two alone..." Miroku whispered to Sango, who was holding Kirara and Shippou.

"Yeah." Sango agreed quietly; both quickly left the area.

Kagome went into Inuyasha's arms, "Inuyasha, this life I've gotten is so hard!"

"I know.." he whispered, his cheek on her head, arms around her, "And I've told you, you can live a normal life, the life you had before me..."

"But that's the problem, I don't want to leave you... Or all of you." Kagome began to cry.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha hated to see her cry, and over him and the gang, "Look, I'm here for you. We all are. And we always will be." And with that, he kissed Kagome. Inuyasha quickly pulled put of the kiss and went in front of Kagome. "Inuyasha?"

"Watch out!" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and winced in pain.

"Huh?" Kagome looked and sounded worried. Then she sensed it, Kikyou. "Kikyou..." Kagome said as she set Inuyasha down, "Why?"

Kikyou appeared, "He knew... Even though I was hidden, he knew. He risked his life... For you." Kikyou walked to Kagome, "And I, am here for you."

"Wha? Naraku, you're working for Naraku!" Kagome growled.

"What a smart girl." Kikyou rose her arm, and soul-collectors surrounded her and Kagome. Then Kagome passed out.

Kagome woke up in a small room, which smelt of death. And it's aura was so mysterious... Kagome stood up slowly. 'Is this...?' she thought. Then Naraku walked in.

"Ah, Wench." Naraku cackled.

"Be quiet; why am I here?" Kagome demanded.

"Inuyasha." Naraku said simply, "Kikyou will be with out plenty. Grow fond of the thought." And with that, Naraku walked out.

Kagome went to the darkness of the room and wept.

Inuyasha groaned as he stirred from his nightmare. His eyes were still shut, "Wh-Where's Kagome?" he asked, knowing Sango and Shippou were over him.

"She isn't here." Sango said.

"Where'd she go?" Shippou asked. Inuyasha got up and growled.

"If I knew where Kagome was, do ya think I would've asked!" Inuyasha was mad. Shippou scurried behind Sango, scared.

"Now, Inuyasha..." Sango sighed.

"I'm killin' her... KIKYOU!" Inuyasha punched the ground.

"Inuyasha, take of your haoris." Sango told him. As he did that, "So, Kikyou did this?"

"Yeah..." Inuyasha said, in pain, "She took Kagome... Tomorrow we search for Kagome."

"Okay." Sango said, finishing the bandaging, "There. Houshi-sama is helping Kaede, so let's go so you can rest." She said, getting up. Shippou jumped onto Sango's shoulder.

"..." Inuyasha relunctantly put his haoris on and they went to Kaede's.

A month had passed, and Kagome was seemingly ill. She'd wretch whatever food she once had within her, if she moved to fast, she'd feel dizzy; and to make it worse, she was tended by Kikyou. After Kagome threw up, Kikyou came in with a bucket of warm water, along with a wash cloth. "How are you?" Kikyou asked as Kagome lay on the small futon Kikyou had given her.

"I never knew I could vomit so much..." Kagome sighed. Kikyou cracked a small smile.

"I think I know why." Kikyou said.

"What?" Kagome asked.

"You're with child." Kikyou said.

"Nani..!"

"Shh. Look, I know when a woman is having a baby." Kikyou smiled, "And I can also tell when someone is in love with Inuyasha."

Kagome looked away, eyes starting to burn with tears.

"I don't care anymore." Kikyou said, putting the cloth on Kagome's forehead, "I wish to end my life."

"Huh?" Kagome sniffled, "Why?"

"Because, I am not one of the living, Inuyasha cares for both of us, when you're having his child..."

"I didn't know...!"

"But you two are lovers." Kikyou sighed, "Unless, I don't even want to be here with Naraku..."

"Then why?"

"The jewel." Kikyou said it as though she was tired of explaining it.

"Oh, because he'll taint it... I keep on forgetting that until I see the black instead of pink light..." Kagome sighed and sat up.

"Are you--"

"I'm not THAT weak." Kagome stated. Kikyou stood up.

"I won't tell Naraku."

"Thanks."

"But he'll find out sooner or later." And with that, Kikyou left. Kagome could only think of amber eyes, silver hair, and the red kimono: Inuyasha.

'Oh, Inuyasha... Please save me soon...' Kagome thought as she began her daily cry.

"Inuyasha, may we rest?" Shippou yawned on Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha ignored him.

"Inuyasha, we need to rest." Miroku stated.

"I need Kagome!" Inuyasha snarled. Shippou jumped off of Inuyasha's shoulder, scared to death by him.

"Inuyasha, we all care for Kagome." Sango pointed out. Inuyasha punched a tree, shattering it to splinters. Then he fell to his knees.

"Inuyasha..." the group said in unison as the looked down.

Inuyasha whimpered, got up, and started again.
