Part Two
Kagome woke up the next morning, panicking with the remembrance of what had happened the previous day-and her secret discovery.
"I can't tell anyone," she told herself. "Especially not InuYasha. Not yet. Not until I see him again, not until we make up."
Then a lightbulb went off in her mind. Lady Kaede. Why hadn't Kagome thought of speaking with Lady Kaede before? She would definitely know what to do about all this.
She stood up from her bed and dressed carefully, wondering what to say to Lady Kaede.
Just the truth, she thought. Nothing but the truth. She'll see through you anyway, so just tell the truth.
Kagome grabbed a few things and ran to the well.
Once into Futile Japan, she whipped her head around, trying to locate Lady Kaede's hut. She found the direction and ran towards it, as fast as she could, wishing she had InuYasha's demon speed. Once arriving at the hut, she saw InuYasha in the yard. She took a deep breath and went in the gate, and in passing, said, "Hello, InuYasha."
InuYasha didn't know what to feel. But he shook his head to clear his mind of it and didn't say anything back. Kagome went into the hut and sat down across the fire from Lady Kaede.
"Hello, Kagome. Do ye seek help?" Kaede asked.
"Yes, um, I don't know what to say to InuYasha. We've been fighting."
"Ah." Lady Kaede smiled a bit and picked up a blade of grass. "I know this. InuYasha has been worried about ye."
Kagome blanched a little bit. "My problem's far worse than that, I… er…"
"I know, Kagome. I can tell." Kaede smiled.
"You… You can?" Kagome asked.
"Indeed. I saw the signs. I read your face. Now, go tell InuYasha. Do not be afraid. Tell him the truth." Kaede gave Kagome a smile to buck up her courage, then guided her outside.
Kagome walked timidly up to InuYasha.
"Inu… InuYasha?"
"What do you want?" he demanded.
"I need to tell you something."
"What?"
"I… I'm… pregnant."
