Just a super short oneshot I thought up the other night when I was about to go to bed.
I had a lot of ideas for this story, but seeing as I was so tired when I thought of it, I just kinda wrote down the basic idea instead of all the details for it.
So, while this fanfic's okay, I have a feeling it would have been better if I had just stayed up and wrote it instead of falling asleep. I sure do regret not doing it now :(
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha at all—the manga or the show.
"SIT!" Kagome's voice, though slightly muffled due to the fact that she was inside, was heard from Kaede's hut.
Inside the hut, Kagome, pregnant with Inuyasha's child for almost four months now, stood with her hands on her hips, leaning over a husband of hers—Inuyasha—that had his face buried in the ground.
"What was that for?" Inuyasha's mumbling was quiet because his face was in the ground, though the angry tone he used made it clear that he was yelling. "You asked if your make-up made you look weird," here Inuyasha lifted his head off from the ground as the spell faded. "I said that it looked fine."
"But you were lying!" Kagome wailed anxiously.
"What else was I supposed to say? The truth? Fine!" Inuyasha shouted. "Your make-up looks stupid! Keh!"
"SIT!"
Miroku and Sango, who were standing and chatting a few feet away from the hut, watched amusedly as Kagome marched her pregnant body from Kaede's hut a few seconds later.
…
"I just don't get it!" Inuyasha growled to Miroku whilst sitting at the table-mat inside Sango and Miroku's hut. "Don't girls want guys to say they look pretty no matter what? That's what you said a few months ago!"
"Yes," Miroku said wisely. "But you must take into account that girls do not appreciate lying and you should always tell them the truth. Or at least half the truth. Or don't answer the question at all."
"Keh!" Inuyasha turned his head away. "That's stupid."
Miroku decided to stay silent and not say a word for fear that Sango might be listening in from the other room.
…
Four months later, when Kagome was eight months pregnant, she found herself crying on her bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Stop crying!" Inuyasha frantically told her, hovering beside her and at a total loss as to what to say or do.
"B-B-B-But, but, but," Kagome blubbered hysterically, not finishing her sentence before she broke down worse than before.
Inuyasha, worried but trying not to show it, shouted, "But what?"
"But I'm fat!" Kagome cried.
Inuyasha, remembering what Miroku had told him four months before, paused and said slowly, "Yes. Yes, you are."
"Inuyasha," Kagome hiccupped.
"What?" Inuyasha's ears perked up, hoping that she was going to stop crying.
Kagome said, "Sit," and promptly went back to crying.
As Inuyasha lay there, he wondered if it was really that bad a thing that he still stayed on the ground even after the spell wore off, pretending that he was still stuck. After all—if Kagome didn't want lies, but she also didn't want the truth, then what exactly did she want?
Because Inuyasha had no idea.
A/N I would imagine that sometime soon after this, Inuyasha would comfort her FOR REAL, seeing as I doubt he would let her stay that upset for long.
Then again, he is kinda hopeless, and Kagome's pregnant, so he might fail at cheering her up. Oh well :)
