The next morning, kagome was still no better than before. Her fever had not gone down at all and she could not move from the cot she had been placed on. Inuyasha gave up on trying to stay away from her, and sat by her side for hours. He would refresh the washcloth when it got too hot and give her water when she was thirsty. After he had been there for a few hours, he noticed that her fever was starting to break. He hoped that whatever was healing her kept going. He looked down suddenly, seeing a small dot on kagomes arm. He grabbed it, smashing it between his fingers. "Hey!" It cried, "stop that master inuyasha!" Myoga jumped up and down in agitation. "Then don't drink kagomes blood." Inuyasha snarled, "she's sick enough all ready, and i cant figure out whats wrong with her!" "Isn't it obvious master inuyasha?" Myoga said, looking at him, "kagome is a mere mortal who is sensitive to demons because of her powers. I have heard only one other incidence of this very thing since it is so rare." "quit speaking riddles, myoga, and tell me what's wrong with kagome!" Inuyasha growled at him. "Well, you see, when you took kagome as your mate-" "keep your voice down!" Inuyasha snarled, "no one knows about us, how could you?" "I tasted her blood inuyasha, it has told me a lot. I take it you two dont want anyone to know?" "No not now myoga not with naraku still out there, so if you tell and put her life in danger, i will kill you." "Fine." Myoga sighed, "do you want to know what's wong with her?" "Of course i do! Just keep it down!" "Very well. Just understand that i have only seen this once before in my travels, this is a very rare occurance. Kagomes body is starting to recognize and protect demon blood within its self, causing her to have high fevers and be weak for days on end. Once her body is sure that the demon blood is protected, she will start to return to normal. It helps when you are near her, for her body recognizes you as part of what she is trying to protect." "Wait, what do you mean demon blood in her body? How could she have demon blood?" Inuyasha worried. "Its not exactly like that inuyasha, it is not just blood flowing freely in her body. It is a small object she protects that is a part of you and a part of her." "Just spit it out! What are you saying myoga?" Inuyasha growled. Mygoa sighed and continued on "Kagomes body is doing its part to protect your pup. She should be back to normal in the next few days." Inuyasha just sat there for the longest time, staring at myoga. "Are you sure?" He finally got out, "absolutely sure?" "Why yes master inuyasha, there is no mistaking the symptoms and the taste of her blood. I will not breathe a word to anyone, but congratulations master." He hopped out the door quickly, letting inuyasha be alone with his thoughts.

Inuyasha just stared down at kagome, his mind going all over the place, wondering how to tell her when she woke up. Fortunately for him, she had heard the whole thing, squeezing his hand to let him know she heard and was awake, she wanted to talk but was just to tired. Inuyasha pulled her up into a quick hug, laying her back down onto the cot before the others awoke and walked in, his demon side now even more protective of her as he imagined her stomach rounded with his pup. Keeping this secret would be even harder than he thought.
