A/N: to Kagome1314- yes, the demon that swallowed them is really dead, the demon in the forest wasn't the same one, if anyone else has questions just send them to me, if I don't explain the question in the story I will certainly answer them for you in an a/n:)

Btw, it seems that I have forgotten they were at Kaede's and left her out, sorry, lol.

Chapter 21: InuYasha's Sweet Side

"Uh, are you ok Kagome?" Inuyasha asked with a concerned expression. Kaede had gone out picking in the gardens with Shippo and promised to return as soon as she was finished. Miroku and Sango had gone out as well and said they would be back later so the two were alone in the hut.

Kagome, who had been staring at her middle, raised her head to give Inuyasha a smile, "Yeah, I'm ok, I was just thinking." Kagome looked at him like she was trying to analyze him. Why had he suddenly gotten so worried about her well being? She suddenly remembered and placed a calming hand on her bump, it was because she was now pregnant and he wanted to make sure she was ok. Was he really going to ask her everyday from now on? She sighed, guess that came with the package.

"If you need anything tell me," Inuyasha told her, going over and sitting beside her.

"Really Inuyasha, I'm fine," Kagome said laughing a little; at least he wasn't getting on her nerves, yet. No, at this point it was just a little amusing.

Inuyasha looked down at her round baby bump, "Um, can I?" Kagome looked over at him and noticed he was blushing a little as he stared down at her nervously.

She nodded and he slowly and as carefully as he could, touched her belly as he gulped from being so nervous.

Kagome giggled, grabbed his hand and pressed his hand a little more on her abdomen. Inuyasha eased out of her grip just a tiny bit, "I'm not hurting you am I?" he asked worriedly.

She laughed, "No Inuyasha, you're not hurting me or the baby, you're hand is barely touching me."

"Oh," he said as he rubbed the bump tenderly. Kagome smiled at him, she didn't know he could be so soft and careful and his touch was so gentle and loving. She could tell he already loved his child.

Someone opened the door and Inuyasha quickly pulled away, surprised at the arrival of someone else.

It was Miroku, helping a tired looking Sango into the hut.

"Sango?" Kagome frowned concerned as she looked back and forth at the two.

"Sango doesn't feel all that good so we came back," Miroku explained.

Kagome made a comfy spot for Sango beside her and Miroku sat her down easily.

"What's the matter? Do you feel sick?" Kagome questioned, remembering how her first trimester was annoying.

"No, I'm fine, really, I just feel weak," Sango answered leaning back.

Kagome looked at her sympathetically. She never remembered getting as tired and weak as Sango had been lately, but everyone was different when it came to being pregnant.

Miroku held Sango's hand and brushed his thumb against the top of it, "Are you feeling better?" he asked.

She nodded, "Thank you Miroku," she said softly before drifting off to sleep.

Miroku sighed sadly, he hated seeing her in this state. Kagome smiled at how caring Miroku was to Sango as well.

Finally he stood up and headed to the door. He looked somewhat drained himself.

"Miroku," Kagome spoke, "are you leaving?"

Without turning, Miroku replied, "I'll be back, I would just like to speak with Kaede for a bit, you will look after Sango for me?"

"Mm hmm," Kagom answered.

"Of course we will Miroku, do you even have to ask," Inuyasha put in, stretching his arms upward, ready for a nap himself.

Miroku chuckled, "Thank you," he said before leaving.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, "Well he was acting weird," he commented then leaned against the hut wall for his nap.

"Yeah," Kagome agreed, looking from the door to Sango. Shrugging it off, Kagome lied down and soon fell asleep with her friends.
