Test - A Sango Short

"Hey Sango," the woman turned to Kagome as they sat alone together around the hearth, "Don't take this the wrong way, but why have you not told anyone yet?"

Sango raised an eyebrow at her words, "Told anyone...what?"

"I think you know what I'm talking about," Kagome smirked but then matched Sango's expression, "Or are you not sure?"

Slowly Sango put what Kagome was saying together and immediately began to blush, "No, not really. I think so...but I don't really know for sure."

"Ah, that's right, the feudal era had to do things differently. Hold on," Kagome began to rummage through her seemingly magical bag that could hold an endless amount of things. "Here!"

Sango became confused once more as she held the strange box, "Pregnancy...test? What does it mean by test? How would it know the answer?"

"Hmm, it will just be easier if you use it rather than me go into detail about what it does."

Thus, Kagome walked Sango through the process of how it worked and explained that it would make sense after she followed her instructions.

After a few minutes, the woman came back with the stick laying flat in her hand, "Um...now what?"

"Now? We wait!" As Kagome spoke, the 'positive' line popped up, "Or not, wow that was fast. Welllll," she wrapped an arm around her best friend, "That symbol means that you're pregnant, so congratulations!"

Sango let out the breath she was unconsciously holding, "Really? It's that...easy? No more...wondering?"

"Yup! This is how it was done in my old life. I can't say they're always right, but there is very little chance that it's wrong.

Sango began to smile as she stared at the strange device. However, she soon looked up at Kagome, "Wait...why do you have these? You haven't gone back to the other time in over a year because of the well closing..."

It was then Kagome's turn to blush, "Um...well...because I thought they would come in handy."

"For...?" Sango raised her eyebrow once more and leaned in, "You?"

Kagome's face only turned redder as she began to speak very fast, "Um...maybe...since..."

Sango looked at her with a curious smile, already knowing where the conversation was heading.

Kagome continued to blush as she spoke even faster, "Since…maybe Inuyasha and I have actually been together a lot longer than the rest of you think and at one point, my period - lunar cycle - was very late. So, I panicked and went back to my time to buy them," she took a much needed breath, "It came back negative and so I calmed down. But, there was no point going back just to return them, so I kept them hidden here."

Her friend began to laugh, "Hahaha, we all knew. Both of you are terrible at keeping secrets. But we decided to wait until you actually said something."

"...You…" Kagome's face managed to turn even redder, "...You…knew!"

"Of course! After all, you two are equally terrible at hiding things," Sango gave Kagome a playful wink as her friend almost fell over from embarrassment.
