Disclaimer: I do not own any of the InuYasha characters, even though they some times drop by for tea. (Weird huh?)
This is the sequel to An Unexpected Visit, so you should really read that first before you jump into this one. (Rolls up sleeves) Okay, here I go!
What the Future Holds
Three months, she thought, it has been three months. It is not as if it could have grown wings and flown away. Ew, that is a gross image! She paced her room, constantly looking out of the window to gaze at something, like the answer to her unasked question. Am I pregnant?
Kagome put her hand to her head, flopped down onto the bed, and sighed. Her long, thick, shining black hair spread around her like a dark halo as she stared up at the ceiling. It was three months ago, today, that she and InuYasha had made love together on the forest floor, just outside Kaede's village. She smiled at the happy memory, and shivered deliciously as she thought of InuYasha's tongue gliding down her smooth abdomen. The two had spent the entire day together in her world and spent the night in each other's arms in the feudal era. Kagome had come home the next day, limping slightly as she adjusted to not being a virgin any longer. Her mother had taken one look at her daughter, and knew EXACTLY what had happened. However, Kagome's mother was not one of those women that would yell at their child for having intercourse. She was a woman who knew that her child was mature enough to make this decision on her own, and, like a sensible woman, ran a hot bath for her daughter and spoke no words of it.
Kagome sat up suddenly and went into the bathroom, where she threw up her breakfast of Lucky Charms (it's my favorite cereal!). She leaned back, trembling and wiping her mouth of the saliva that clung to her mouth. For the past month, this has been happening and Kagome feared that she was pregnant, but she was also excited at the thought of having InuYasha's pup. Kagome often found herself thinking, will he have my hair or InuYasha's? Will he be more like a human or more like a youkai? She looked up at the counter and saw the pregnancy test sitting there innocently in the afternoon's light, waiting to be used and reveal the mystery inside her body. She sighed. She'd have to do it, and then tell InuYasha afterwards. Kagome stood up, grabbed the package, and began to tear off the top…

"Where's Kagome InuYasha?" Shippo asked as he jumped onto the silver head of the hanyou, grabbing his ears and pulling on them, "It's boring hanging out with you!" InuYasha grunted and grabbed the kitsune by the fluffy tail.
"Get the hell off me!" he yelled as he threw the youkai kitsune to the ground.
"Mi lord," said a voice on his shoulder, "There is no need to be harsh on the young one. He was merely asking where your lady was."
"Myouga, shut-up," was all InuYasha said. Myouga crossed his little flea arms and sweat-dropped, shaking his head.
"One would wonder how you would treat your own pups the way you treat Shippo," he said quietly, but InuYasha's sharp hearing caught his words. He caught Myouga between his thumb and forefinger, and crushed the flea flat. Shippo ran over the flattened flea and picked him up, looking at InuYasha's retreating back. What's up with that stupid hanyou anyway? He thought.
InuYasha walked along the forest floor, lost in thought as he remembered the day he spent with Kagome. He explored her body with delight, feeling her soft skin beneath his claws as he marked her and made her his own. My mate, he thought to himself, all mine, to have when I wish it. So lost in his thoughts, InuYasha had not realized that his feet had taken him to the spot where he and Kagome had made love, nor was he expecting the uninvited visitor.
"So," said a cool, drawling voice, "You claimed her as a mate, did you not?" InuYasha looked up slowly at the voice of his older brother, Sesshoumaru.
"Back off shit head," InuYasha growled, his hand going to the hilt of the Tetsusaiga. Sesshoumaru laughed at him in a knowing way and pushed away from the tree he was leaning against.
"Easy there little brother," he said in a snide remark, "You know as well as I do why your mate hasn't come back in three months." InuYasha growled in the back of his throat, warning his brother to back the hell away from him. Sesshoumaru ignored him and continued on with his speech.
" I could smell the heady scent from where I've been living, which is very far away indeed, with Rin and Jakken. It was a scent of a recent mated couple and a small bundle that you dropped inside your mate. If you can't guess of what I am speaking of, you no doubt get that stupidity from your human side." With that said, Sesshoumaru disappeared into the forest. InuYasha stood still as the revelation of what he was hit him full in the face.
"I am a…"
