Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Notes to my reviewers:

Captured Moon : My dad plays music from the 70's all the time, so I do happen to know who SuperTramp is (I love them). That aside, I've got some bad news for you... (pause for dramatic silence)... I found something that we don't have in common, ::gasp::

Inufreak831 : I guess the baby would be 1/4, but I'm going to pretend that I don't know that and make the baby 1/2. Nobody has ever called me 'DD62386' before... It sounds cool. Like when clebs shorten their names. Like JLo or GW.

Eekolie : I think I am a little insane.

Sackimitama4me : No, I'm not really a Kouga fan. I don't hate him... but I'm not a big fan of him.

Vtguh23 : I'm really really sorry, but I can't tell if her baby is a boy or girl. I want you and everyone else to be surprised.

SftbalLazerGurl : I'm still trying to think of a way to work Shessomuru into the story, but I'll find someway. I did debate having Inuyasha smell Kagome's child, but then I wouldn't have been able to make all those wonderful cliffhangers. Shippo could smell it when Kagome and Inuyasha mated because it was the day after, but Kagome had been gone for a month. I think that answered all your questions. Thanks for asking them.

Chapter Twenty Six: Another way to make Kagome mad

"Where did they go?" Miroku asked when he noticed that Inuyasha and Kagome weren't following them anymore.

"I don't know." Sango replied.

Shippo crossed his arms, "Inuyasha wanted to talk to Kagome, alone." He said.

"How do you know?"

Shippo made a slight frown when he answered. "I actually use my ears and listen to what's going on around me." He walked off leaving Miroku and Sango alone.

"What's wrong with him." Sango watched Shippo until he was out of their sight.

"He's probably worried that Kagome will stop loving him as soon as the baby is born."

"Poor thing."

Miroku grabbed Sango's hand and started to pull her in a certain direction. "Come on, I want to show you something."

"What?"

"Wait and see."

Sango let Miroku pull her in a direction completely opposite of which they had been originally walking. After a while she completely lost any sort of direction, she had no idea where they were going. "Miroku, are we lost?"

"No. I know where we're going."

"Ok." She had a little bit a doubt, but decided to trust him.

It took them almost half an hour the reach the destination Miroku was going for. He led Sango to the top of a hill that was only a small distance away from the village. "It's a really nice view up here." He said.

Sango looked out over the landscape. Miroku was right, it was very beautiful. She could see the entire village. Everyone was running about doing their business and the children we're playing. She could also make out the near by river, they way the sun glimmered off it, it looked like it had specks of gold and diamonds in it.

"You should see it at night time." Miroku said when Sango was speechless. "The stars and the moon really light up the sky."

"I love this spot." Was the only thing Sango managed to say.

"I thought you would." He leaned down and kissed Sango quickly on the cheek.

Sango sat down one the ground and just watched what was going on around her. When Miroku took the spot next to her, she rested her head on his shoulder. "Miroku, where do you find these spots."

"I just come across them, I guess. I think I have a gift for finding beautiful things." He said as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

Sango looked up at Miroku, "What are the odds, that out of all the men in the world, I got the best one."

"You didn't get the best one," Miroku laughed, "but you did get the luckiest one." He lifted her head up a little bit and kissed her again, this time on the lips. "I love you." He whispered when they parted.

"I love you too."

Sango looked away from Miroku, when something caught her eye. She could barely make out Inuyasha and Kagome standing in the woods. They seemed to be talking about something important. She frowned a little bit when she noticed that Kagome seemed really mad.

"Sango, could I ask you something." He didn't notice the two of them off in the distance, so he continued to stare at Sango.

"Sure."

"How do you think we're going to find your little brother?"

Sango indeed hadn't thought about that. "I-I don't know."

"Maybe we could get Kagome to draw a picture of him."

"What good would that do?"

"Well, if we go from village to village and show it to people, maybe someone will recognize him."

"Do you think it will work?"

"Yeah, Kagome said people in her era do it all the time, with something called a photo."

Sango's face brightened, "I hope the others won't mind traveling around for my sake."

"I'm sure they won't. Wasn't it Kagome who suggested we find him in the first place."

"That's true." Suddenly Sango's eyes opened wide when a thought hit her. "Should we travel around with her."

"We can't leave her," Miroku said "we still have to find more jewel shards, remember."

"Yeah, but it might not be safe for her and her baby."

Miroku rubbed his chin, "I guess it's up to her."

Sango looked out at Kagome and Inuyasha again. This time Kagome slapped Inuyasha before storming off. "Something's wrong." She said.

Sango got up, followed by Miroku, and started to walk to Kaede's house in a quick pace.

"Is there a possibility that Kouga could be the father?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome bit down on her lower lip and looked at her feet.

"Is he?" he asked again when she hesitated.

"Who put these ideas in your head?"

"Miroku and Sango brought it up."

Kagome took in a deep breath and looked up at him, "Would you love me less if he was?"

"N-No."

"Would you love the baby less if he was?"

"I guess not."

"Then why would it matter."

Inuyasha let out a frustrated sigh, "Kagome, I just want to know."

"You're the father Inuyasha." Her anger was growing more and more as Inuyasha accused her.

"Are you sure?"

Kagome put her hands on her hips, "What kind of question is that!" she yelled.

"You did spend an entire month with Kouga!" he yelled back.

Kagome's hands turned into fist. "Just what are you accusing me of?" her voice was really tense, it was easy to tell that she was trying not to scream.

"I know what you and Kouga did when you thought he was your mate."

Kagome crossed her arms and stared coldly into Inuyasha's eyes. "Inuyasha, if you trust me at all, you'll believe me when I say you're the father."

Inuyasha hesitated for a few seconds, "Are you absolutely sure?"

"Inuyasha!" She slapped him across the face as hard as she possibly could, "You're such a jerk!" She walked off leaving Inuyasha all alone.

Inuyasha brought his hand up to his face and rubbed the area that Kagome had slapped. He regretted making Kagome mad, but he still needed to get a straight answer. Not wanting to argue with Kagome again, he jumped off in the direction Kouga's cave was in.

Kagome kept on walking until she reached Kaede's house. She stormed in only to find Kaede and Shippo sitting there. "Where's Sango and Miroku?" she asked quickly.

The two of them could tell that she was extremely angry. "They went for a walk. Is something wrong?"

Kagome gripped the beads in her hand so tightly that the string snapped and the beads rolled all over the floor, but she didn't answer.

Sango and Miroku walked in a few minutes later. They looked at all the beads on the ground then looked up at Kagome, "What's wro-" Sango started to ask, but she was cut off.

"Miroku, Sango, I can't believe you guys!" Kagome shouted.

"W-What do you mean." They both became a little nervous; they weren't used to being on the other end of Kagome's anger (that was usually Inuyasha.)

"You both know how jealous Inuyasha gets! Why are you putting strange ideas in his head!"

"We didn't put-"

"You told him that Kouga might be the father!" Kagome screamed. She placed her hand on her forehead and tried to hold back her tears, she hated yelling at people like this. "I'm going home." She mumbled before running out the door.

Kaede's house was filled with silence after Kagome ran out. They were at a loss of ideas on how to fix this problem on their hands.

Kouga stood up and walked to the entrance of his den and sniffed the air. "Is something wrong?"

"I thought I smelt someone coming?"

"Is it Kagome?"

He glanced at the two wolf demons before looking back outside. "No, it almost smells like"

And almost on cue, Inuyasha jumped down from one of the near by trees. "What the hell are you doing here?" Kouga yelled out.

"Don't flatter yourself, I'm not here to fight. I have something to tell you."

Kouga looked at him skeptically, but allowed him to enter the den. "What do you want, mutt boy."

Inuyasha gritted his teeth and took the insult gracefully, "I came to tell you that Kagome is pregnant. I'm assuming that there is a chance you could be the father, so I thought you should know."

"Impossible." Kouga mumbled.

"What?"

"It is impossible, I can't be the father."

"You're not"

"No, Kagome and I never did that."

"You didn't."

"No, don't get me wrong though, I wanted to," Inuyasha growled a little bit when he said that, "but Kagome said she didn't feel right about it." Kouga held out his hand. "Congratulations."

Inuyasha hesitated, but he shook it. "Thanks." He mumbled.

"So, is Kagome with you now?"

"No, she's...damn it!" he said suddenly remembering how mad he made Kagome. He walked out of Kouga's den knowing that he would have to find some way to say sorry.

On his way back to Kaede's house, he was overcome with a terrible feeling of guilt. I probably made Kagome feel like crap he thought to himself. He started to run towards Kaede's village, so he could get to her as fast as he could. But by the time he reached Kaede's house, Kagome was already gone.

Kagome climbed out of the well and heard a voice she recognized. It was Hojo. She left the little house that the well was in and saw him standing next to her mom. "Hi Kagome." He called out when he saw her.

"Hi Hojo. What are you doing here?"

"You've missed a lot of school, so I came by to see if you were alright."

"How nice." She said, but she was still in a bad mood over the whole father' thing, so she walked into the house without another word.

"Did I say something wrong?" Hojo asked when Kagome walked away.

"No." Kagome's mom said. "She just upset that I pulled her out of school. I'll see you later Hojo."

"Buy Miss. Higurashi."

"Buy Hojo."

Kagome's mom walked into the house and saw Kagome looking through the pantry for something to eat. "Is something wrong?"

Kagome sighed. "No." She didn't feel like going into a long story.

"Alright. I pulled you out of school an hour ago. I think it will be easier on you if we try homeschool for a while."

"Whatever." Kagome grabbed a box of crackers then headed off for the living room. Souta was sitting on the couth watching TV, so she joined him.

"Hi Kagome." Souta said, not turning away from the screen.

"Hi."

They watch a movie together till Kagome's head started to hurt. "I'm going to bed." She mumbled when she noticed how late it was. Souta just nodded as Kagome walked up to her room.

When she opened her door she was really surprised to see Inuyasha sitting by her window. He turned and looked at her. He was in his human form, so his hair was black and his eyes were brown.

"Hey Kagome." His voice sounded tired.

"How long have you been waiting here?"

"Not long." He lied.

Kagome sat down on her bed and waited for Inuyasha to take a seat next to her. "Inuyasha, I'm still mad at you, so don't think-"

"Kagome, I'm sorry." Inuyasha cut her off and sat down. He wrapped one arm around her and pulled her closer to him. "I should have listened to you."

"Yeah." She rested her head on his shoulder. "You can be a real jerk sometimes."

"I guess... with the spell that Kikyou put on you and when Sango and Miroku started saying all that stuff, I got carried away."

Kagome closed her eyes and relaxed in Inuyasha's grip.

"Do you want to got through the well, the others might be waiting."

"I'd rather spend the night in my time."

"Why?"

"The others are gonna be so mad at me." Kagome said without opening her eyes.

"Really?"

"I yelled at them."

"Oh yeah, Shippo told me you were pretty scary."

Kagome laughed, "I should say sorry to them."

"Don't worry, they'll get over it."

She moved away from Inuyasha and stretched out on her bed. "I'm going to sleep."

"Should I stay in the guest room?"

Kagome patted the spot on the bed beside "No, I'm sure my mom doesn't care anymore."

Inuyasha snuggled into the spot beside Kagome. He loved sleeping in this time, Kagome's bed was really comfortable. For a few minutes he just watched Kagome sleep. After brushing some strands of hair out of her face he gave her a quick kiss then went to sleep himself.

I didn't leave this one at a cliffhanger, :::gasp::: I can't wait to write chapter 27. Last night I dreamed what Kagome's baby would look like, what color the hair would be, what color the eyes would be, and whether it would be a boy or a girl. Can't wait till you all find out.

Aren't you glad I didn't make Kouga the father
