Note: There is a part in the chapter that I am giving credit to purple-kagome-lover. The part where Inuyasha...I'll finish at the end...

purple-kagome-lover: Yes, she she found out! I actually like the way you think, and I am giving you credit for that suggestion. Thanks!

witko1: Haha thanks. No, you ROCK! Your reviews are so awesome! Who else rocks other than Lauren? Witko1 rocks other than Lauren!

Tifa Sohma: haha I'm glad you depend on my story to lighten your day. Cliffehangers are my signature. Haha I dont know when you are on the computer so I don't know when to PM you. Here's your continuation...

serenityrain2233: I'm glad you love it. Yea I didn't take any offence I'm glad you were thinkning about my stroy and I will answer any questions if possible. I don't know what men would do without women around. They would probably starve. Hahahaha

Tsuki Shirou: yea, you might be right. Another non-cliffehanger chapter...proabably far away...

Sam (santha): Yes, I like Kagura too. She's free spirited but controlled under the clutches of Naraku. To answer your question, I suppose Kanna could be considered a character. I mean, she doesn't show any emotion, but maybe she is hiding it. Or maybe, she isn't. I guess in the end she is a character to me, even thou without the emotion she could be mistaken for not a character...it's confusing me now...hahahaha

TrueBelle: hahahaha yea Kagome might be mad...and what about Inuyasha? hmmm...

Neko Nials: Yes! Another cliffehanger...will this be another one?...hmm...

Chapter 36

Sango couldn't breathe.

'Oh no.'

Miroku was pale as the belly of a fish. The were both very still, hoping their ears were playing tricks on them. Perhaps it was the wind...

Their hopes were too high.

"Sango. Miroku." Kagome said calmly, which scared them even more. Sango turned to be face to face with Kagome. Kagome looked angry. Furious.

Scarey.

"I...uh...hehe...Kagome..." she didn't know what to say. What to start with...

"What were you two talking about?" she asked cooly, but there was a fire in her voice. She wanted answers. Now.

"Well...you see...Miroku and I..."

Kagome just stared at her.

Sango sighed. "Kagome, you are with child."

Kagome's face paled. "That's what I thought you said."

Kagome stiffened. "How do you know?"

Sango went on to explain how Akra had come across her and Kaede. She was supposed to tell Kaogme, but she thought Kagome wouldn't find out this way.

"And you told Miroku before me?!?!?!" Kagome yelled.

Sango was flushed. Kagome's right. She should have told Kagome before Miroku. After all, it wasn't Miroku that was pregnant.

"If I may interupt for a moment.." He was cut off by both kagome and Sango simultaneuosly.

"NO!"

He backed up into the corner, waiting for his turn to speak.

"Kagome, I'm sorry. I should have told you before Miroku. It's just..." Sango blushed.

It took Kagome a secind to figure it out. She giggled.

"Ah, Sango. I see now."

"You do? Is it that obvious?"

"It is now. Besides, I know these things."

Meanwhile, Miroku is in the corner. 'What are they talking about?'

"I forgive you Sango. It...I'm sorry I yelled...It's just-"

"No, Kagome, you had every right to yell at me. I was wrong. I am only glad you found it in your heart to forgive me."

"Of course Sango! You're my best freind! I can't stay mad at you foever! Especially now that I'll need you with me more..."

Sango giggled. "Oh Kagome, I'm so happy for you!"

Kagome smiled, but didn't say anything. Sango could tell the sorrow she held behind her eyes.

"Oh, Kagome. Don't let that get you down. Everything will be o.k. We are all here for you. We'll protect you."

"Especially Inuyasha." Miroku interjected.

Kagome and Sango both laughed. They knew Inuyasha would be overprotective and very cautios now. It was his nature.

"I wonder how he'll react when he finds out."

Kagome heard a crinkling outside the hut, and a thump. Miroku shot up, and darted outside to see what the noise was. Althou Miroku could not be seen, his voice could be heard.

Laughing.

Previously, (about 10 minutes before Kagome woke up to the "surprise")

Inuyasha was running. He didn't even bother dodging the branches that swiped at his face. Small cuts traced his face.

He was determined to get back to the village in record time. Thanks to Kagura's warning, he would keep an eye out for Naraku's new reincarnation. That thing wouldn't even look at Kagome, as far as he was concerned.

Racing, he finally neared the village. Looking at all the villagers, he didn't see nay of his freinds, and he didn't see Kagome. "Phew." he said. He looked at his urroundings, sniffed the air, but picked up on nothing.

'Was Kagura lying to me?'

Inuyasha brushed it aside. He was back now. He walked down the hill and towards the hut. As he neared, he heard voices. Moslty Sango asn Miroku, but before he entered he heard Kagome. She sounded nagy. Ver, very angry.

He took a step backwards, and listened. 'Kagome, angry at Sango and Miroku? No way.' He listened intently for a reason.

"Sango. Miroku."

"I...uh...hehe...Kagome..."

"What were you two talking about?"

"Well...you see...Miroku and I..."

"Kagome, you are with child."

Inuyasha's sight went blurry, and his head was spinning. Did he hear Sango right. 'Did she just say what I think she said?'

That's what I thought you said."

"How do you know?"

Inuyasha could barely catch his breath. He didn't notice Sango rambing on and on. 'Kagome...she's...pregnant...with our...' Inuyasha barely caught the last words before he blacked out and went crashing to the ground.

"I wonder how he'll react when he finds out."

Inuyasha woke to someone bending over him laughing.

"What the-" he said, not rememebring how he had gotten there. Then Sango and Kagome came out of the hut, Kagome nearly fainting herself. Then the memories came flooding back, making Inuyasha feel dizzy again.

He picked himself up, and wobbled over to Kagome. "We need to talk."

He walked her over to the other side of the village, near a small stream.

"Is it true?" Inuyasha asked, hope gleamin in his eyes.

Kagome nodded. "I guess I am." Tears were filling her eyes. "I'm so happy, yet..."

Inuyasha was confused. "I'm happier than happy. Why are you sad..."

Kagome explained what Inuyasha hadn't heard.

"My son's going to defeat Naraku?"

Kaomg ewas about to say yes, when she realized what Inuyasha had said.

"What makes you think it's going to be a boy?"

Inuyasha was confused. "I...I don't know...It just feels right."

"Yea, I know what you mean." Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist. "I love you. We'll get though this."

He bent down and kissed her. "Hai, I love you too, Inuyasha."

Just before the couple could kiss again, they heard screams coming from the other side of the village.

"No...it can't be..."

"Kagome, run into the hut and hide, before she sees you."

"Who?" Kagome asked, clearly confused.

"Naraku's new reincarnation."

Kagome ran for the hut, scared and confused. 'How did he know...'

Inuyasha ran towards the screams. There, a woman stood, who looked plainly enough like an innocent villager. But when you saw her eyes...those grey eyes...you could see pure evil.

"No need to fight, I don't need another foe

Just give me the girl, and then I'll go."

The demon's mouth had not opened, nor his lips spoken.

"What is your name, demon?" Inuyasha spat out. He was confused. How did he speak without moving his lips?

"I fight for glory, I fight for fame

I fight for Naraku, OtoNashi is my name."

Note: Yes, another cliffehanger!!! Tomorrow will be extra thrilling, I promise!

p.s. The part where Inuyasha finds out is derived from the suggestion purple-kagome-lover gave me. Thanks again!

Next chapter will be full of suspence, drama, sorrow, and anger...

Until then,

Toksha!
