A/N: Just something I wrote during my break. Not edited.


He was mad, he didn't have to verbally say it, but she could tell. The way his ears flattened against his skull, the subtle dig of his claws into the plastic test, and the darkening of his golden eyes.

Yeah, he was upset.

She mentally began to prepare herself for the verbal onslaught. Her muscles tensed as her heart began to beat erratically. She careful to keep her face devoid of any emotion and...

"Are you happy?" He lifted his eyes from the two lines to look into her blue ones.

Was she happy? Her face cracked when she saw the unshed tears. She realized then that no he wasn't angry with her. She nibbled on her bottom lip and tried to steady her heart before replying, "Yes", she smiled and tucked and strand of hair behind her ear. " I am happy with Kurama-kun and for this new life."

He jerked his head. His throat felt too scratchy, his fire rat robes were suddenly too hot. The pink lines were blurring into red lines like the color of his hair. He wanted so much, but her soft reply and the way she had been unconsciously shielding her stomach away from him, told him more than words.

He lost her.

Too many years spent going back and forth between her and Kikyo.

Too many nights he snuck away.

Too many openings he gave that Fox.

" I'm happy for you", he barked out as he backed away. He dropped the test on the floor as he was rushed out of the room.

Those two lines would haunt him for days to come.
