Inuyasha and Kagome stood under a dome of trees, the leaves rustling above them. A cool breeze swept around them, making Kagome shiver.

"What did you want to tell me?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome sighed, shaking her head. "This is probably the hardest thing I'll ever have to tell you." She took a deep breath. "I'm-"

"Hey guys!" Sango waved as she walked up, smiling. She noticed their serious faces. "Oh... did I interrupt something? Sorry, I'll leave."

"No, it's fine," Inuyasha said, slightly irritated. "Kagome was about to tell me something... what do you want?"

"I just finished making dinner. You can come eat when you're ready." She turned to leave.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. "I'm-"

"Hey!" Miroku smiled, walking toward them. Kagome groaned. "I was about to go to the hot spring and wanted to know if any of my female companions want to join me." He winked at Sango, who rolled her eyes.

"I don't want to, but why don't you ask Kaede?" Sango asked innocently. Miroku shuddered.

"That's great and all," Kagome interrupted loudly. "But if you'll excuse us..." She tried to leave with Inuyasha.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..." Miroku stopped them, holding up his hand. "It's not nice to tell secrets... unless you tell them to everyone"

"If you tell everyone the secret, then it's not a secret anymore," Kagome said impatiently. She whispered in Inuyasha's ear as Miroku tried to think up a good defense to this. "I'm pregnant!"

Inuyasha's eyes widened. He looked at her in a serious way, " 'Scuse us," he muttered, grabbed Kagome around the waist, and leaped up into the top branches of a tree.

"No fair," Miroku pouted as Sango pulled him back to the village.

"Don't worry... I'll bathe with you."

Miroku smiled. "You will?"

"No."

"Stop doing that!" Inuyasha made sure they were gone before speaking again. "Y-You're pregnant??"

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, I am," she said, her throat dry.

Inuyasha looked down, his hair falling over his face so she couldn't see his reaction. They sat like that for a long time, the wind rustling the leaves around them. When Inuyasha did look up, there were tears in his eyes. He smiled.

"You're going to have a ... I'm gonna be a ..." He stopped. "It's mine, right?"

Kagome froze, the smile that had crept onto her face slowly slipped away. "What?"

Inuyasha swallowed thickly, realizing he had just dropped a bomb. "It's mine, right? I mean, with Koga and that Hobo guy..."

Kagome laughed bitterly. "Yeah, that's right, I'm a turbo slut! Koga was feeling a bit lonely, so I satisfied him real fast, then moved onto Hojo!" Her face flushed with anger. "What are you saying?"

"I'm not saying anything."

"No... I think you are. Do you think I'm some kind of sex addict?" Kagome folded her arms across her chest, glaring at Inuyasha.

He lost it. "Well, why the hell not?? You don't tell any of the guys that FAWN over you to over you to get lost! Do you like the attention or WHAT?! It's awful hard to tell where your emotions lie, Kagome!"

Kagome's jaw dropped at what he was accusing her of.

"Oh, yeah right, you're one to talk! After 50 years, you still haven't broken up with your old girlfriend!"

Inuyasha looked at her, disgusted. "This isn't about me."

"Well, maybe it should be!"

"My problems are different than yours! I'm not you!"

Kagome snorted. "How is your making out with Kikyo hypothetically different from me making out with Koga?"

Inuyasha lost his patience. "I'm not like that!"

"The hell you're not!" she snapped.

"Fine! You're slut, Kagome! You're a filthy slut! Are you happy now?!"

*Smaaack!* Kagome slapped him as hard as she could, the stinging sound echoing through the trees. Inuyasha's head flopped to one side as stars danced before his eyes. He shook his head and rubbed his jaw, the skin turning an angry red.

"Maybe abortions are still legal!" she spat ad stood to leave... and stepped off the tree branch. The fact that they were in a tree somehow escaped kagome and 50 ft. between her and the ground was closing fast. Before she could scream and arm wrapped around her waist and she was flipped onto a certain half demon's back. Inuyasha grabbed a branch, bringing them to an abrupt halt... before the branch snapped and they fell the last 10 ft. to the ground.

"Let me go," Kagome muttered. Inuyasha stood, his arm still firmly around her waist.

"No."

"Let me go!"

"If I let you go, you'll run and we need to talk."

"Talk is highly overrated," she groaned as she struggled to break free.

"Look," he growled, spinning her to face him. "You're not going anywhere until you stop being mad at me."

"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at me."

"Well, that makes 2 of us, you can hit hard."

Kagome grinned. Inuyasha looked at her in a Jack Sparrowish kind of way (sigh^_^). "Why are you mad at you?"

"Doesn't matter, now let me GO!"

Inuyasha held her a few inches above the ground to prevent her from escaping. When it dawned on Kagome that she wasn't going anywhere soon, she sighed. "Because I should have known better! I actually thought you would leave you precious Kikyo."

A sad look crossed Inuyasha's face. "I can't forget about Kikyo. Too much had come between us."

"I'm not asking you to forget, just to stop chasing after her. I was stupid to think that you would ever settle for me and now I'm going to have a kid I'm not sure I want!" Kagome laughed. "I grew up without a father, so can this kid."

Inuyasha sighed. "Ok, 1- I'm not settling for you, I want to be with you. 2- Who says this kid won't grow up with a father? 3- I'm not chasing after Kikyo. I just feel... like I owe her something... but not nearly as much as I owe you...

he whispered.

Tears formed in Kagome's eyes. "You don't owe me anything... go and do whatever it is that you do best and don't worry about owing me anything. Now LET ME GO!" Kagome kicked Inuyasha hard in the stomach and squirmed free. She darted into the trees toward the well.

Inuyasha tried to go after her, holding his aching stomach. "Wait! Kagome!" He stopped and fell to his knees. Despite his despair, a small smile spread across his face. "So the kid IS mine." And at the same time he wondered what an abortion was...
