It must be in the blood…

"Mama, I'm pregnant."

Her mother looked up from the rice she was preparing for the evening meal.

"You're not!" she gasped, dropping the ladle. The young woman nodded miserably, her eyes fixed on the floor so that she wouldn't have to see the shock and disappointment in her mother's face.

"I'm sorry."

"Didn't I tell you not to go into the woods alone with that boy?!"

"I know! I'm sorry mama!" she cried, tears of shame welling in her eyes.

"Your father's going to kill the both of you!" her mother sighed. "And then he'll probably kill Miroku-sama as well…"

*Author's Note* Ok, although it makes me sad, I guess I have to explain this one. I've already received a lot of questions about it. The mother is Kagome, the girl who is pregnant is her daughter, and the reason that Inuyasha is going to kill Miroku as well is because it was his son who got her that way. Hence the title.
