Guilty By Race

Chapter 3: That's Not Mine!

That night, Kagome still said nothing. It was like, she had seen a ghost and if she said something, he could come to haunt her or something. She kept quiet as she ate her ramen, her eyes never leaving the bowl.

Her friends, Inuyasha especially, were all worried about her. Everyone's eyes were on her as they watched her eat quietly and slowly. Finally, Sango got the courage to once again try and break Kagome's spell. She scooted over to Kagome and tapped her shoulder, "Hey." Sango said timidly.

Kagome sighed in defeat, knowing they would bug her to death until they found out what happened. Kagome put down her chopsticks and sat the bowl down beside it, "...I will tell you guys what happened. But..." She stopped and hesitated, the spoke again, "Inuyasha has to leave."

"Eh! No way! I ain't leaving!" Inuyasha shouted in protest as he stood up, obviously finished with his ramen already.

"Inuyasha, if Kagome doesn't feel comfortable about this and wants you to leave, you should respect her wishes and leave." Miroku insisted.

Inuyasha growled, "Feh! Fine!" Inuyasha marched out of the hut and into the forest. Yeah right, like he would actually leave. He jumped into a tree near the hut so he could still hear. He made no sounds as he strained to hear the conversation. But he would wish he wouldn't have heard it.

"Now what is this all about Kagome? Why are you acting like this?" Miroku spoke first as he sat his ramen down along with his chopsticks.

Kagome spoke a few minutes later, "Inuyasha...when we were in the forest, we heard a child crying. So, of course, we went to go investigate. I found a tree and I looked in, seeing a child. It...In short...It looked like...Inuyasha. I didn't want Inuyasha to see yet, I wanted to show you guys. But while Inuyasha was gone...Kikyou came to the tree, looking for "her" child. She told me that the infant I had was hers...and Inuyasha was the father..." But before she could finish her story, Inuyasha ran back into the hut.

"What the fuck?! I am not a father of anything!!" Inuyasha yelled at the top of his lungs. All eyes shot up and looked at him. All except for Kagome, who's eyes still hadn't left her lap. "Why in the hell would you think that?!"

Kagome winced. She slowly stood up, "...I'm...going home for a while. I uh...have a test to study for."

"No!" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm. "You're not leaving until you get his straight!"

Kagome winced, her trust in Inuyasha had almost diminished. She wanted to believe that this didn't happen, but she held the evidence right in her arms. She believed what she saw, but she wanted to hear Inuyasha's side. "Then what happened?"

"Absolutely nothing! I never...did anything to get a whelp!" Inuyasha blushed at the thought about it, but kept a straight face.

"Then tell me why that child looked like you! Tell me who else would have made a child with Kikyou! Tell me that Inuyasha!" Kagome looked up into Inuyasha's eyes, tears already forming. Kagome didn't know who to trust, but she wanted it to be Inuyasha.

"I don't know, but it wasn't me." He stated, "You have to believe me Kagome, I didn't do anything like that."

"...Not to change the subject, I'm just pointing out the obvious...But Kagome said that child was about the age of 2 right? Well, 2 years ago...actually almost 3, Kikyou was long gone. Inuyasha had seen her and Kagome caught them and ran off. Later that night, Inuyasha came back without a word and we didn't see Kikyou sense." Miroku explained plainly.

"What are you implying Houshi-sama?" Sango asked, no interested.

"Well...we all know that it takes some quite a long time, almost a year, for a baby to be born. Maybe Inuyasha did something with Kikyou that night and the reason we didn't see her for a long time was because she was hiding out. Like...we didn't see a Kikyou, or was it a pregnant Kikyou..." Miroku drifted on into his thoughts.

"Fuck! Monk, you're..." By now, Inuyasha was as mad as a charging bull that spotted some red. How could anyone believe this monk?! It's true that they didn't see Kikyou for a while, but that doesn't mean that she was pregnant! He clinched his fists tight.

"That would make sense..." Sango said sadly.

"You actually believe that?!" Inuyasha shouted. "I can't believe you guys would actually believe that load of shit!"

"Well if all roots didn't point to you then we didn't have to!" Kagome finally spoke her mind, tears running down her face at that very moment. "To think, I don't know who to believe, but Miroku's explanation seems logical!"

"Eh..." Inuyasha looked to Kagome in shock. 'How could she not believe me...' "You too Kagome?! Gods! I didn't do it! That whelp is not mine! You have no proof! It's all lies! Look!" Inuyasha pulled out the piece of cloth he had found earlier and threw it on the ground, "If that were my child, it would have my scent on it!"

All eyes were on Shippou now as he scurried over to the rag and picked it up. He sniffed it and looked up at Inuyasha, "...I'm sorry." He simply said before he sat the rag back down and ran back over to Sango and sat down in her lap.

"What the hell does that suppose to mean?!" Inuyasha was almost panicking, no one believed him!

"...It does have your scent." Shippou looked to the ground as he told his discovers quietly. "The only difference in the smell is...it's from a younger hanyou."

Inuyasha couldn't take it. He growled loudly, "You guys are suppose to believe me! So much for friends!" With that, Inuyasha ran out of the hut and into the forest.
