Chapter 2: The Confession

"InuYasha, the past couple of days Kagome hasn't barely said anything and has been very depressed, did you do something to her to make her act this way?" Miroku asked getting angry

"NO! why the hell would I do anything to her to make her like this" he yelled at the monk defensively.

"well…..your always short with her, that seems to make her upset" Miroku replied snobbishly

"you..*sigh* you don't understand" she said watching Kagome and feeling her pain. He wasn't expecting a child , but if it was with her he didn't care.

"Oh? Try me!" Miroku smirked

"I…I…love her" he finally forced himself to say letting out his breath as the last word was said. Miroku stared at him in shock and disbelief of what he had just heard him say.

"what about Kikyo?"

"Kagome means more to me than Kikyo ever did" he said looking down, "she loves me for me, Kikyo only would have loved me as a human" he said looking up to watch Kagome again, not making eye contact with the monk. Miroku gasped when he had heard what InuYasha had said.

"what did you two do on your little vacation?, Kagome beyond her sadness and depression, she is sticking to you like a nail in a post, and you two won't let each other out of your site." Miroku asked.

"Nothing and IF we did do something I sure as hell wouldn't tell you!" he yelled

"so you two DID do something?" he said nudging InuYasha on the arm with his elbow.

"WHAT! NO!" he said defensively and hit Miroku in the head and walked over to where Kagome and Sango was.

"what are you girls up to?" he joked getting a giggle from Sango and a faint smile from Kagome. "Kagome, can I talk to you a second?" he asked.

"uh…sure!" she said still a little depressed. It had been 3 weeks since she miscarried. They reached a large tree deep in the forest. InuYasha sat her down against the tree and he sat next to her.

"Kagome, I know you are upset about what happened, but its been over three weeks, and I hate seeing you like this" he said softly "I told you we can start over again."

"I know, but that would've never happened if I wasn't taking cover like you said."

"Oh by the way did you tell Sango anything about those nights we had alone?"

"NO, all I said as that we just talked, but I think she suspected something when I was two weeks late", she giggled, for the first time in weeks.

"glad to hear you laugh again" InuYasha stated happily

"yeah," she smiled, "I cant remember the last time I smiled either"

"great, I love to see you happy, Kagome, because when your miserable I am too"

"SO…..did you tell that lecherous monk what we did?"

"gods no…..but he did trick me into making a confession *sigh*"

"what was it InuYasha?" she gazed at him in curiosity

" I told him that I loved you and that you meant more than me than Kikyo ever did" he bowed his head and pulled back his ears.

" Inu…InuYasha is…is that true? I didn't know I meant that much to you" she said softly.

"yes, you mean so much to me if anything happened to you I wouldn't have a reason to live, that's why I keep you out of the way in our battles." he kept his head at the ground and his ears back

"OH InuYasha!" she hugged him , hard, and they kissed for a while

"we should head back before they start thinking we are doing something" he suggested.

"yeah" she agreed

…they didn't notice that one of Naraku's bugs was listening to their whole conversation. " *evil laugh* looks like I have found a weak spot in InuYasha I can use to destroy him AND get the Shikon No Tama. This plan is going to work perfectly" Naraku snickered evilly.

InuYasha grabbed Kagome and jumped down and they walked to the campsite.

"where you were gone a while?" Sango asked as Miroku nodded his head in agreement.

"we just went for a stroll and talked that's all" Kagome Said first

"OK" Sango said suspiciously looking towards Miroku raising an eyebrow.

~that night~

Everyone was asleep except InuYasha. He woke up early just to watch Kagome sleep. He enjoyed that. He carefully picked her up and brought her into a tree, she didn't stir one bit as he sat down and laid her in his lap. She slept soundly on him in the tree. She quickly awakened when she went to roll over and almost fell out of the tree, if it wasn't for InuYasha's tight grip on her that night she might have fell. He gripped her tight the whole night not easing one bit. The night he had given himself to her he knew that he would use the Shikon No Tama to stay half demon or to be human, as long as it meant he would be with her. He had to plan another get away alone with her, ' she was happy when she was carrying their child, but so depressed when she had lost it' he thought.

"I will NOT let that happen to kagome's again!" he shouted in a whisper.

They were all up and eating breakfast. Kagome wasn't hardly eating but looked like she was thinking hard. InuYasha noticed that when she was thinking she blushed slightly and smiled softly hoping no one would see. But the only person that seen her was InuYasha. So when everyone was out or doing something, InuYasha snuck a little notes in her bag. She seemed to like that for what he could note read:

Hey Kagome,

What is up with the smiling

And blushing when you are thinking.

Love,

Your dearest InuYasha

When she read the note she didn't care about what the rest of the note said, she only focused on the last part.: 'love, your dearest InuYasha.' after she read that she held the little note to her heart for a minute, kissed it then put it back in her bag when no one was looking.

"INUYASHA!CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU PLEASE!" Kagome yelled in a realistic but fake angry voice. InuYasha was scared and he showed it. Sango and Miroku watched him silently as he hesitated to follow Kagome. They reached a deep spot in the forest where Kagome had taken him.

"wha…what did I do Kagome?" he sputtered his ears down and he was worried. She looked around to see if Sango and Miroku had followed them she whispered in his ear. Still down and pushed back.

"can you smell them? Did they follow us?" she asked

"Kagome what is this about?" he said trying to get an answer

"can you?" she asked starting to yell a bit

"no" he said as a scared response

"good" she said relived,

"now will you tell me wha .." he was cut off by Kagome's quick smothering of hungry kisses. He knew that she was close to being fertile.

"Kagome.." he pulled her off him gently, " what is this about?" he asked sweetly

"I need you" she said desperately," we need to be alone for a couple of days. Can you ask Sango and Miroku?" she asked eagerly.

"uhm…yeah I will but they will be wandering what's going on between us," he said to her

"if we can be alone for a couple of days, we can talk about if we should tell them, if we don't they will eventually find out." she said her eagerness growing.

'what have I done to her?' InuYasha said to himself, afraid if she's like this again afterwards. Then he'd be afraid of getting Kagome pregnant with a half demon's child.

~later that night~

" I can't believe that they wanted to go off alone AGAIN, for a couple of days." Sango said angrily

"something's up with those two, I think they are together" Miroku said raising an eyebrow in suspicion.

" well Kagome was late for her cycles before she was hit in the belly by that demon." sango said thinking, " do you think InuYasha and Kagome…..?" Sango asked her suspicions were starting to come together.

"I believe they might have" he replied

"because when someone gets hit in the belly it just hurts really bad, no bleeding, but Kagome, she bleed a lot!" Sango protested.

"yeah, that's not normal, do you think InuYasha could have gotten her pregnant?" he asked like he knew that she was probably pregnant, "then miscarried when she was hit." Miroku suggested almost sure that is what happened.

"then depression normally comes in afterwards" Sango added.

"SO they didn't just talk the first the first time they were gone for two days." Miroku smirked

"I have to agree with you this time Miroku," she told him.

"good thing we didn't let them go" chuckled Miroku, "when they get back from getting wood, I'll talk to InuYasha, and you talk to Kagome" he suggested

"I'll find out why they were keeping it a secret" Sango said.
