Character 7: The Beginning of the End

It was a beautiful afternoon. The others went for a walk, but Natura just decided to stay at the

hut. She has been feeling very nauseous lately and just didn't feel like going anywhere. Also her

mood swings have been driving the others a little crazy, so she decided to give them a

break. She held a cup of hot tea in her hand and chuckled at the event that took place earlier

that day.

---Earlier that day---

"Inuyasha!! Where is my sword?" A very angry Natura asked

"How should I know like you said its your sword." Inuyasha replied

"Yea, but I saw you with it last, remember you were examining it and saying you don't know

how a girl like me can handle such a powerful sword."

"Then I gave it back to you."

"Are you calling me a liar." Natura said with tears flowing down.

"No, I'm not and why are you crying?"

"Because I can,does a girl need a reason for crying, gosh your such an insensitive jerk." Natura said with anger.

Everyone was confused. They didn't know what was going on with Natura. Sango took it upon

herself to ask her friend what was wrong,

"Ummm Natura, are you OK?" Sango asked not knowing what her friends reaction would be.

"Just fine Sango." Natura said with a bright smile.

"Natura?" Inuyasha said.

"What?" She replied in a heated voice.

"Y-your sword is over here." Inuyasha managed to get out swearing that he just saw her eyes

turn red for a second.

"Why thank you Inuyasha, I love you big brother." She said in a joyous tone. She walked out

the hut with her sword at her side.

---Back to Present---

Natura took a sip of her tea. Kaede made it for her sickness, but it didn't seem to work. She

spotted a bucket near by and just threw up in it. Kaede walked in when she was finished

throwing up.

"My child, you are indeed very sick, my tea always works." Kaede said picking up the bucket.

"I am very sick," she said in agreement, " I don't know what could be causing me to feel like this."

"My child, don't be offended by this question, and you don't have to tell me who, but have you

been with anyone?"

Natura hesitated for a moment, "Umm............................................. yea I have."

"Oh." Kaede said thinking about one possibility that can be causing her sickness.

"Oh? Oh what?"

"Nothing."

"It has to be something, what is it?"

"OK, My child I will tell you."

Natura looked at Kaede with anxious look.

"There may be a possibility you are pregnant."

"Pregnant? But I've only been with Miroku once I thought it took more than-" Natura put her hands to her mouth.

Kaede was in shock.

"Kaede you didn't hear that." Natura said

"I didn't?" Kaede asked

Natura glared at her. " I mean of course I didn't hear that."

"I mean It's not like I'm not happy, I did want to get pregnant, I did tell him I wanted to bare his

children, but I didn't mean so soon." Natura looked around to see Kaede going outside with the

bucket in her hand.

"I was talking to you, what are you doing?"

"Not hearing what your saying."

Natura just rolled her eyes and laid down, thinking about the life that was growing inside of her.

How was she going to tell the others. She fell asleep not knowing that the conversation between

her and Kaede had not been a private one.

Sorry that this chapter is so short. I didn't know what I was gonna do with chapter 7. I've been driving my best friend, ManatsuNoEve181, who has a banging story on fanfic, crazy by telling her that I don't know what the hell to write. Any way please review.
