Hey, I am really, terribly, sorry that I made you wait. With all the exams,
quizzes, tests, and a research project, I don't have any free time to do
anything! Studying, researching, working, ugh! It's all a mess. Thanks for
the reviews! We might break a hundred! ^_^

Drops of Her Blood
Chapter Seven
Suspicion
Slipping out of his arms gently, she lightly stroked his face, and stood. Carefully pulling on the miko* robes she had started to wear without Inuyasha's consent, she tied the last knot, reaching for an extra ribbon for her hair.
She hadn't wanted to look like Kikyou, but for hidden reasons, she wore them, hoping he wouldn't suspect anything. He had gotten irritated and there was always a scowl on his face, but he let it go, and allowed her to wear them.
She put the zori* onto her feet, and pulled the bamboo screen aside, letting the cool morning air blow against her cheeks. She looked back at the small hut, as if a small goodbye to her friends, and her beloved.
Although she was not leaving, and simply just taking a small walk, parting from her friends even for a short amount of time was painful, especially after spending a week away from them. Bending down, she picked a small white flower, stroking the smooth petals. White was the color of pureness. She stuck it into her robes, careful not to crush it.
Continuing to walk, she bowed politely to the passersby's that she occasionally encountered while walking along the dirt path. They nodded in respect, tipping their head slightly, recognizing her as a miko.
She had wandered off into a field when she had realized that it was time to go back. "Kagome." A voice behind her startled her, causing her to go rigid. "Calm down, it's only me."
The person revealed himself to be Inuyasha. He set an arm around her shoulders, causing her to swoon just from his touch. As she fell back, he held her close, stroking her cheek.
"Where'd you go?" He questioned her, settling his hands around her waist. "For a walk." She whispered back, turning herself around.
"C'mon, let's go back." He squatted down, allowing her to easily get onto his back. She set her legs through the holes he had made with his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Tightening his hold on her thighs, he sped through the forest, aiming to get back to the hut from there.

Shippou began to stir in her lap while she began to stroke his hair. He had grown accustomed to sleeping with the couple, just like he was their pup. After discovering the relationship between them, he had accepted to having Inuyasha as a father figure.
Everyone was still sleeping and it was still very early in the morning. The sun hadn't even finished rising yet. Inuyasha removed the tie at the bottom of her hair, and ran his hands through it, sending small kisses down the back of her neck.
Giving a small moan, she set Shippou down onto the futon, and turned around to meet her lover face to face. "Don't go too far." She whispered to him and allowed him to kiss her.
A hand snaked into her white haori*, and caressed her back, running his fingers up and down in a relaxing motion. He squeezed her shoulders gently to release the tension that had collected there.
When his hand met a breast, she shook her head. "No, we can't. They might wake up." She whispered once again, and smiled apologetically. He sighed, and fixed her haori.
Their friends hadn't woken up during their little 'moment', but still it was not smart to engage in such intimacy when it could easily lead to something more which the sleeping friends could accidentally witness.
Roughly guessing with only a sky to help her, she estimated that the time was approximately 6:00 AM. Although she may have been wrong or correct, it seemed as though an appropriate time for them to still be sleeping.
"Inuyasha. I want to go home for a little bit. Do you mind?" She asked him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Fine, but I get to come with you." He huffed in annoyance that she wanted to go home, but it had been a long time since she had last gone. Smiling, she gave him a small peck on the lips and nuzzled his neck in appreciation.
"We'll leave by afternoon." He said. She nodded in agreement. Shippou began to stir, once in her arms again, and his sparkling eyes were open in a few minutes. "Kagome-mama?" He questioned, looking up at his smiling surrogate mother.
"Good morning." She said, lightly kissing his cheek. He hugged back. She handed him to Inuyasha who just ruffled his hair. "Morning Inu-papa."
"Ohayo*, Shippou." He said back, and let him snuggle into his stomach. Three people unknowingly watched this scene. "Ahem! But if you are done with saying your good-mornings, but we would like to begin breakfast!" Miroku announced to the flushed family.
~*~
"Shippou-chan, I'll be back soon. We only need a few days for some shopping and errands. We are running low on our supply of food and bandages." She held him close to her chest, running her hands through his long red hair.
"Are you sure you'll be back soon?" He looked up at her with sad eyes.
"Yes, I will." She gave him one last kiss. Shippou crawled into Inuyasha's arms and hugged him around the neck. "Bye, Inu-papa."
He ran off back to Kirara and waved as the couple disappeared down the well.
~*~
After changing into a baggy blue sweatshirt and a pair of jeans, she had changed Inuyasha in her father's old clothes even if they were a bit outdated. Everyone was not home due to a family emergency.
"Inuyasha, I'll be in the bathroom. Just want to take a bath." She said. "Can I join you?" He asked, standing up. Nodding, she went to the hallway closet to get an extra towel for him.
After getting an extra towel, she spent a little time to glance at her 'time of the month' calendar. After looking around a few times to see if Inuyasha would come out, she flipped the pages to the previous month before. She had started on February 8, and 'it' had gone for three more days. Then she flipped to the next month. Today was the 13 of March. She was supposed to start 6 days ago.
Bringing a hand to her mouth and whispering, "pregnant", she gasped and shut the hallway closet. This was the hidden reason on why she wore the miko robes, to hide her pregnancy.
"Okay, Inuyasha, is the water ready?" She opened the door to see the tub full and steaming hot with water. "Oh." She giggled at her mistake and set his towel on the sink counter.
Turning her back to his, she carefully stripped her clothes, hiding her stomach with her hands. He was already done and sat in the water, waiting for her.
She stepped in, sighing at the warmth of the water. He wrapped his arms around her torso, running a hand across her abdomen.
"Kagome. You aren't pregnant are you?" He asked her, his breath hot against the back of her neck. "I am." She said, and faced him, her hands against his chest.

So, are you surprised or no? I knew it had to come in this story. I know I'm not supposed to leave cliffys, but it was so tempting! Besides, I feel very empty of ideas now. But it has lifted a great weight off my shoulders.
Word Key:
Miko - priestess
Zori - traditional sandals
Haori - the red top or the white top that both Inuyasha and Kikyou wear.
Ohayou - Good Morning
Ja ne,
