Chapter 21

When Kagome woke up, she was confused. She didn't remember falling asleep in her bed. She actual only remembered studying, then waking up now. She had no idea how she got into her bed. She thought maybe her mother moved her, but she was too heavy for her mother to lift.

'Could it have been Inuyasha? He was here last night, but maybe Mom asked him to move me?' Kagome thought. She then saw that her window was partly open. 'Or maybe not.'

Kagome sighed. 'He was watching me. Spying.'

Kagome got out of bed, grabbed clothes to wear and headed for the bathroom to take a shower.

When she went downstairs, it was eleven o'clock. Shippo and Sota were in the kitchen, eating. Kagome grabbed a bowl, then sat down next to Shippo. She poured herself cereal and then milk and started eating.

"Are you gonna hang out with Inuyasha today?" Sota asked.

Kagome thought about it. Was yelling at Inuyasha about spying on her hanging out with him? "Yeah, you could say that."

"Did something happen?" Shippo asked.

"No," Kagome said.

Shippo looked at her. "Something did happen."

"We didn't get into a fight," Kagome told him.

Shippo smiled. "Alright."

After Kagome was done eating she went over to Inuyasha's.

Sesshomaru opened the door.

"Hi, Sessh. Where's Rin?" Kagome asked, surprised.

"She's sleeping still. She's not feeling good," Sesshomaru told her, distracted by his thoughts.

"Is she all right?" Kagome asked.

"It's probably just a stomach flu or something," Sesshomaru stated. "You're looking for Inuyasha, aren't you?"

Kagome nodded. "Is he here?"

"He's up in his room," Sesshomaru said, letting her in.

"Thanks," Kagome said as she went up the stairs.

When she got up to Inuyasha's room, she knocked on the door.

The door opened up quickly, surprising Kagome. Inuyasha was still not dressed into regular clothes, leaving him in only sweat pants.

"Hey, Kagome," Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, can you please explain to me how I woke up in my bed, when I fell asleep at my desk?" she asked.

Inuyasha let her inside his room. He went over to his dresser and pulled on a gray t-shirt.

Inuyasha didn't look at her. "How would I know?"

Kagome crossed her arms. "You were watching me, weren't you?"

"What gives you that idea?" he asked. He pretended to look for something.

"My window was open a little," she told him. "No one except you and Sesshomaru can get up to that roof, and I'm sure Sesshomaru wouldn't be watching me."

"Are you mad?" he asked.

"No, I'm not. But it's not nice to spy on people," Kagome said.

Inuyasha smiled. "I know."

"Why were you watching me?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha looked at her. "I wanted to."

Kagome thought about that. She smiled a little. "Do you know what's wrong with Rin?" she asked.

"Sessh thinks she's sick," Inuyasha said.

"You don't?" Kagome asked in confusion.

Inuyasha shrugged. "She smells like Sessh."

"She always does, right?" Kagome asked. "She's always with him, plus she's mated to him."

"Yeah, but she smells like him more than normal," Inuyasha stated.

"You think she's....?" Kagome asked, trailing off.

Inuyasha nodded.

"Have you told Sessh?" Kagome asked.

"No, but he should know himself. He's a full demon. If I can smell the difference, he could too," Inuyasha told her.

"Maybe Sessh is too worried about her. You should say something to him," Kagome said.

Inuyasha sighed. "I'll say something to him about it."

Kagome nodded.

"Since you're already in my room, why don't we just hang out here?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome smiled. "Maybe no one will bother us like yesterday."

Inuyasha laughed. "Yeah."

Inuyasha wound his arms around her waist. He pulled her against him. He kissed her.

There was knock on the door. They broke part.

"Inuyasha, I need to talk to you," Sesshomaru called.

Inuyasha let go of Kagome. She smiled at him. He smiled back, walking out the door to Sesshomaru.

He closed the door. "What's up?"

Sesshomaru smiled. "I hope you guys aren't doing anything more than kissing," he said.

"We aren't doing anything more. That's Kagome's decision," Inuyasha stated.

Sesshomaru stopped smiling. "Do you think Rin is okay?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, I think she's fine."

Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha like something was on his mind. "She smells different."

"She smells like you more than normal," Inuyasha stated. "She can't stand the smell of cooking food..."

"She might be pregnant," Sesshomaru nodded. He smiled a little. Taking it in. "She might be pregnant."

He looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha smiled at him. Sesshomaru looked happy.

Sesshomaru laughed in relief. He ran a hand through his hair. He put a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "Have fun, little brother."

Sesshomaru turned and headed down the hall. He went into his and Rin's bedroom, where Rin was.

Inuyasha shook his head, smiling.

He entered his room, looking around for Kagome, then finding her sitting on his bed. He walked over and sat next to her.

"Did you say something to him?" she asked.

"Yeah, he was already sort of thinking it too," Inuyasha told her.

She grabbed his hand, weaving her fingers through his. "That's good. Maybe he'll take her to get an ultrasound."

"Maybe. He seemed happy," Inuyasha said.

Kagome smiled. "He should be."

"What about you?" Inuyasha asked.

"About what?" Kagome asked. She gave him a confused look.

"You'd be happy?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'd be so happy that Rin is gonna have a baby," Kagome told him.

"That's not what I mean," Inuyasha said, looking away from her face, a faint tint of pink appeared on his cheeks.

Kagome's eyes grew wide. She realized what he meant. She started blushing too. "I-I... would."

Inuyasha looked at her. She was blushing and she wasn't looking him in the eye. He touched the side of her face.

Kagome looked him in the eye then. She smiled at him.

"You'd want a baby?" he asked.

She nodded. "I would, but only with you," she whispered.

He leaned forward and kissed her. Kagome moved closer to him, letting go of his hand and wrapping her hands around his neck. His hands gripped her sides, pressing her against him.

Inuyasha pulled away when it became too heated. Kagome gave him a confused look.

"Inuyasha what...?" she asked.

He looked her in the eyes. It was her choice when she wanted to be mated to him. "It's your choice when we... you know," he said, he started to blush. "I'm not rushing you."

"I know. I know we weren't gonna get that far," Kagome said, blushing.

Inuyasha was blushing a little too. "What you think and what I feel are two different things."

Her scent was already clouding his mind. It was hard to think when he was around her. Plus tonight was the new moon, so his feelings were becoming stronger.

Kagome's eyes grew wide. She started blushing. She didn't think she had that strong of an effect on him. She wondered how long that was going on.

Inuyasha was looking at her as she blushed. She looked back at him and blushed deeper.

"We have finals tomorrow," she said, trying to change the subject.

Inuyasha smiled. He knew she was a little surprised. "Yeah, I know."

"I can't believe it's only Sunday. It seems like it should be the end of the week," Kagome mumbled.

Inuyasha hugged her to him. He laid back with her. "Yeah," he said quietly.

Kagome had her arms around his chest, with her head resting on his chest. Inuyasha's arms were around her waist.

Kagome sighed, content. She wanted to stay like that for forever. She hadn't slept long last night, she was tired and she was starting to fall asleep where she was.

Inuyasha heard Kagome's breathing slow right before he fell asleep.

Inuyasha woke up and he noticed that the sun was going down. It was almost dark out. He groaned. Kagome was still sleeping next to him.

He gently shook her. "Kagome, wake up," he said quietly.

Kagome's eyes fluttered open. She sat up quickly. "What time is it?" She looked around the room, and she looked at the time on the alarm clock. It was almost eight o'clock.

"Mom's gonna be worried," she stated.

She looked at Inuyasha, but he wasn't looking at her. He was looking past her, out the window. She looked back and realized it was now dark out. She turned back to Inuyasha, who now had black hair and dark eyes. No dog ears.

'I forgot tonight was the new moon,' she thought.

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome. She was looking at him. She smiled and he smiled back at her.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out and looked at who was calling. It was her mother. She answered it.

"Yeah, Mom?" she asked. She paused. "I'm at Inuyasha's. I'm coming now." She paused again. "Love you too. Bye."

She looked back at Inuyasha. "I have to go," she stated.

Inuyasha nodded.

Kagome leaned forward and kissed him. "I'll see you tomorrow," she told him.

"See you later," Inuyasha responded.

She smiled at him. She crawled off the bed and left the room.

Inuyasha flopped back onto his pillow. His emotions were killing him. But at least now he didn't have to hide them. He still hated being human though.

He sighed, running his hands through his now dark hair. That was when Sesshomaru came into the room. Inuyasha looked at him, sitting up.

"Hey, what's up?" Inuyasha asked.

"We just got back," Sesshomaru stated.

Inuyasha instantly knew from where. "And?" he asked.

"Get ready to be an uncle, little brother," Sesshomaru stated. "And a god father."

Inuyasha smiled. He got up and pat Sesshomaru on the back. "How far along?"

"Three weeks," Sesshomaru stated.

Inuyasha realized something. "You haven't been married that long."

Sesshomaru looked away from Inuyasha. "We are mated, remember."

Right. He forgot that Rin wasn't raised the human way, the way she should have. She was raised the demon way, the way that marriage wasn't necessary, just for show. She was raised by demons, where they didn't get married, only mated.

Rin wasn't raised like Kagome. Kagome grew up learning the human way. She only learned how demons 'tie the knot' when Inuyasha told her. Which maybe if he didn't tell Kagome that they might still just be best friends. Which he doubted. It was always meant to be like this.

Inuyasha snapped out of his thoughts. "Heh," he mumbled.

Sesshomaru looked back at Inuyasha. If Inuyasha was seeing correctly, Sesshomaru was a little flushed. Inuyasha blinked, thinking it was just in his mind, but he looked exactly like he did before he blinked.

Inuyasha smiled. He decided to leave Sesshomaru alone, since this was a very sensitive subject for him, after today.

"Go take care of Rin, a half demon pregnancy is different than a human one," Inuyasha said.

"I know," Sesshomaru mumbled. He wasn't flushed anymore. He turned and left the room.

Inuyasha turned to his desk. He knew he should study for the finals, but he didn't want to.

Inuyasha sighed, sitting down at his desk. He pulled a text book to him, opening it. He wanted to pass, didn't he? He started reading.

As Kagome walked down the stairs and to the front door she didn't see Rin, but she passed Sesshomaru in the hall, after she left Inuyasha's room.

What surprised her when she passed him, he smiled at her. He never smiled for no reason.

While she crossed the drive, for her front door, she guessed that Rin was pregnant and that Inuyasha was right.

Kagome smiled. She was happy for Rin. She was happy for Rin and Sesshomaru. But she was worried.

It was having a good effect on Sesshomaru, but how was Rin? This baby was going to be half demon, and demonic pregnancies were shorter than human ones. Was a half demon pregnancy longer than a demon one, but shorter than a human one?

The half demon baby would be stronger than a human baby, and it might hurt Rin.

She was relying on Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to take good care of her. Kagome wanted Rin to tell her about the baby.

She entered her house and was jumped on by Shippo.

"Hi Shippo!" Kagome exclaimed.

"We were worried about you!" Shippo told her.

Kagome smiled. "I was only at Inuyasha's," she told him. She walked into the living room and set Shippo on the couch. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for bed?"

"Yeah," Shippo mumbled quietly. "But I can't get to sleep."

Kagome smiled down at him. She sat on the couch next to him and he crawled into her lap. She started to hum to him.

After half an hour he fell asleep. She was tired herself, and after she took Shippo up to his bed and set him in it, she went to her own room and crawled into bed and fell asleep. She wanted to get enough sleep so that she could be wide awake for the finals she had the next day.
