Winter's Night: Chapter 14
~ Inuyasha's POV ~
I just laid there as Kagome cried into me, gently rubbing her back trying to comfort her. I noticed my weak senses and realized I was still human. I glanced out the window and saw the sun disappear beyond the horizon and the moon rise into the darkened sky. But how could that be? I was human, but it wasn't the new moon. What the hell happened?
"Inuyasha?" I heard Kagome ask quietly, bringing me from my thoughts.
"How long was I out for?" I asked her, my eyes still looking out the window.
"About two weeks..." she whispered causing my eyes to widen a bit, but before I could say anything she continued. "You're in a hospital in my time, a place where you go to see a healer. Since you were human when you were brought here and I didn't know how humans here would react when you turned hanyou, I went and got a concealing spell from Miroku. It weakened your demon blood enough to keep you demonic features hidden, but it also slowed down your healing. That's why you've been here so long." She said quietly.
I sat there and absorbed what she had said. So these humans didn't know I had demon blood in my veins. That's good. But I've been unconscious for two weeks. That's not good.
I sighed and turned my gaze from the window to the girl in my arms. She looked a little pale, her eyes were still red from crying, her face flushed, and she had dark circles under her eyes. I held her to me, her head resting on my chest, and I gently kissed her head.
"Doesn't look like you've been taking care of yourself." I said quietly.
"I've been too worried about you..." she whispered. I placed my hand under her chin and lifted her face, bringing my lips to hers. I kissed her softly and then pulled away, lying back against the slightly raised bed and letting her head rest once again on my chest.
"Well you shouldn't have to." I whispered back. "Get some rest Kagome, you don't have to worry anymore."

I sighed and stared at the ceiling. Kagome had fallen asleep a little while ago, and I had been a little bored, not wanting to fall back asleep. I had found the spell scroll on the back of my neck that keep my demonic side suppressed and wanted nothing more than to rip the paper off so that I could get my sensed back and breath in my mate's scent. I tried to pull it off, but it shocked me when I touched it. I was annoyed, so I decided to glare at the ceiling, which was now boring. I felt Kagome shift, and looked down at her, my eyes meeting her dark blue ones.
"That wasn't long." I said, smiling down at her. She smiled a small smile back at me and looked away. "Is something wrong?"
"Well, I had a short dream..." she whispered. I stayed quiet and she continued. "and it reminded me of something."
"And that something would be?"
"Inuyasha, I... I'm pregnant." She whispered, still looking away as to not meet my eyes. I stared at her, her words slowly sinking in. My eyes widened thinking I had heard her wrong.
"You're what?" I asked, still a little shocked.
"I'm pregnant, we're going to have a child." She said, now looking up at me, a smile on her face, tears forming in her eyes. I stared down at her, and smiled softly, holding her closer to me.
"Kagome, that's wonderful." I whispered to her.
"We'll have to tell the others when we go back." She smiled. I smiled back, but a thought popped in my head.
"Kagome, have you told your mother?" I asked. I felt her tense, and hold onto me tighter. "Kagome?"
"No..." she whispered. "I don't know what she'll think knowing that her daughter is already mated and going to have a child that has demon blood in it."
"It'll be ok." I whispered, though I too was a little nervous about her mother's reaction.
"But what if it isn't? What if she forbids me to see you and then makes me get rid of our child?" she asked quietly, as I saw tears fall down her cheeks. I gently brushed them away with my thumb.
"I won't let that happen Kagome. You're my mate, and it's our pup. No one will ever take you away or it away." I told her, my forehead now resting against hers. "No one will separate us."
She nodded and I sat up, pulling her into my lap. I flinched slightly at the little bit of pressure on my thigh wound, but ignored it, focusing only on comforting my mate. I held her to me, and gently nuzzled her neck, rubbing her back with my hands.
"I love you." I whispered in her ear.
"I love you too." She whispered back, turning her head, causing our lips to meet.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
After our kiss, we had stayed like that a little longer, until Kagome had to get up and go find her mother and the doctor, to tell them I was awake. I had laid there for a while, when a lady in white came in and checked my injuries. She then left, leaving a pair of clothes for me to change into.
I slipped the shirt over my head, and heard someone else walk in. I looked to see Kagome standing in the doorway watching me. I slipped on the 'shoes' that the woman had left and walked over to her. Before I reached her though, I stepped on something and fell flat on my face. I heard laughing and lifted myself from the floor to see Kagome next to me laughing.
"You didn't tie them baka." She said as she crouched down and tied the strings on the 'shoes'. I tried to growl, but since I was still human, it didn't exactly come out right, causing her to laugh more.
When she finished, she stood up, and helped me up, though I really didn't need it. She took my hand and led me out of the room and down the hallway.
"The doctor said that you can leave, but you have to take it easy for a while." She told me as we walked down the stairs.
"Feh, once I get this scroll off my neck, I'll be fine within a matter of a couple hours." I told her and we reached the bottom of the stairs. She smiled at me and led me to a large metal thing, I think she called it a bus before. We got on and sat in the back. I looked at her as she looked out the window, a serious and scared look on her face.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked her quietly, squeezing her hand gently.
"What to tell my mom and when..." she said, her voice full of fear and uncertainty.
"We'll tell her the truth." I told her, wrapping my arms around her.
"But when?" she asked, the fear only leaving her voice a little.
"How about when we get back?"
"That soon?" she asked a little surprised.
"The sooner the better Kagome."
"I... I know..." she said, looking down a little. I kissed her temple and held her close, and she relaxed against me. Suddenly the bus stopped.
"We're here." Kagome whispered. I nodded and stood, helping her stand by taking her hand in mine. I kept a hold of her hand, and led her off the bus. We walked up the stairs, and she hesitantly opened the door to her house. We stepped in and removed our shoes. She peeled the scroll off my neck and I could feel the power return to my body.
"Thanks." I said, and she just nodded. I could sense her fear even more now, and wrapped my arms tightly around her, pulling her to my chest. "It's going to be alright."
"I know..." she whispered.
"Then shall we get it over with?" I felt her nod hesitantly, and let go of her, taking her hand once again in mine. We walked to the kitchen as it was called, and Mrs. Higurashi was there cooking some food. I felt my mate tense and squeezed her hand to let her know I was there with her and wouldn't let anything happen. I felt her relax, but only slightly.
"Mama..." she said hesitantly. "I... We have to tell you something."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
