I didn that cuz i felt that my beginning chapter werent long enough, so i decided to combine the chapters. Dont worry, everything is the same, i even tried to fix some of my spelling errors. New Chapter! enjoy it!

Her eyes fluttered open and she groaned. Darkness met her eyes and it was relief. Her room was hot and sticky, so she kicked off her blanket. Reaching a hand to her head, she brushed her bangs out of her eyes. Sweat met her hand and she sighed. Ohh my head, what happened? She tried to sit up more but a powerful pain in her stomach made her groan again.

"You shouldn't move you know," a deep voice in the corner shifted turned her gaze and she stared ahead. She caught sight of his red haori and she sighed. But how did she get into her room? All Kagome remembered doing was getting up from the kitchen table after eating, the rest was a blur, she didn't remember anything.

"Inuyasha?"

"Ya?" he opened his eyes. After what happened to Kagome, he doubted whether she should be moving at all.

"What…happened?" Kagome sat up again

"You fainted…after you got up from eating," Inuyasha stood up and walked over to Kagome's bed. Her eyes clouded over with confusion. Inuyasha sat down beside her.

"Really? I don't remember anything…" Kagome rubbed her head. What had caused her to faint…what…caused it?

"Are you feeling any better?" Inuyasha asked, avoiding her question completely

"No, now my head and stomach hurt," Kagome sighed "What's wrong with me?"

Inuyasha didn't want to field that question, he knew what was wrong with her. But it would pass, just like last time. He was being tricked again and there was nothing to it, he wouldn't be drawn in. But the smell was much stronger then last time, much stronger. And that didn't give a promise of disappearance. He was beginning to get a bit nervous, but why, shouldn't he be happy?

"Inuyasha, you okay? You look like you're zoning out,"

"Hn? Ya, I'm fine," Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. Her tired eyes still shone and sweat covered her forehead. Kagome reached over and grabbed her hand in his own. Her face was pale and she sighed. She glanced over at her clock.

"11:26? What! Oh, that long?"

"You're not tired?"

"Are you kidding? I was out for half the day!"

"But you really should get some rest, you're not well," Inuyasha looked at her. Her face had a scowl on it

"You're being over protective again," Kagome pouted

"Can't help it, get some rest,"

"I can't, my stomach hurts too much, and I know we don't have nay medicine that'll take away the pain. You think Kaede might?"

Inuyasha sighed. She was being unreasonable. Not to mention a bit snappy with him. Great another sign to say that this time it was gunna stick. He sighed again in defeat. He didn't want to be sat by her; she could be pretty nasty with those commands. He swallowed.

"Fine, get up, we'll go," Inuyasha stood up. He just wanted her to rest. He scowled. He saw Kagome get up and she stopped. Inuyasha looked her over and he raised an eyebrow.

"I t-think I'm gunna-…" Kagome widened her eyes and ran to her door. She threw it open and Inuyasha heard her feet pounding on the hardwood floor. Running out after her, he saw the door slam, followed by a horrible gagging sound. He heard Kagome coughing and her gasping for air. He banged on the door.

"Kagome!" he got no answer, only more coughing. Then he heard the sound of running water. "Kagome!"

"W-what?" finally an answer passed through the door

"What?! Are you okay?!"

"I'll be fine, I'm okay," Kagome said, though Inuyasha could hardly pick it out, it sounded muffled. He slumped again the wall till he could go down no further, till he met the ground. Still the water was running. Not good, this isn't good. Not like last time, it's gunna stick; I know it will. Inuyasha swallowed. So let it begin. He sighed. She isn't gunna like me being so over protective of her now. His hands disappeared in his sleeves and he closed his eyes. Not good…He heard the door open and he looked up. Kagome was standing there, looking tired. He stood up and he felt his ears fall. Kagome gave a small giggle.

"That's it you're not feeling well, so your staying here," Inuyasha began to push her down the hall. He gripped her shoulders hard and he could feel her trying to get out of his grasp. Tough luck. I don't want her to get worse.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, she felt something in her snap and she suddenly felt really irritated. So she released all the fury on the only person close enough to her, "Sit boy!" all the pressure on her back went crashing to the ground. Kagome turned around to see Inuyasha face planted in the ground. He muttered a few inaudible words and then slowly picked himself off the ground. Kagome, expecting him to lash out at her for sitting him, was surprised when he said nothing at all. Kagome widened her eyes. He must be getting sick, cuz he always, always get mad at me when I sit him, what's going on? Suddenly all of her anger was gone, she felt so bad for sitting him, and she threw her arms around his neck. Inuyasha looked surprised. Oh great, out of control emotions, he sighed.

"I'm so sorry Inuyasha, please forgive me, I don't what happened. I really don't! I'm so sorry!" Kagome cried

"It's fine, okay, I'm not mad at you,"

"I'm still going to Kaede's," Kagome whispered

"Oh no you're not," Inuyasha shot

"Inuyasha," Kagome warned "Don't make me say it…"

"Fine," He growled and let her go,

Standing at the bottom of the Well, Inuyasha jumped up with Kagome still on his back. Landing on the ground he let her slip off his back and they both started to walk. Darkness surrounded them and then suddenly all went quiet. Inuyasha stopped and he grabbed Kagome around her waist and brought her closer to his chest. He sniffed and then growled; he held Kagome closer. He looked behind him, beside him, all around, but still he found nothing. He closed his eyes and sniffed the air. There! Behind him! He could hear it faintly, the pounding of its feet hitting the ground, the intake of air and the soft growling. It was coming in fast. He needed to get Kagome to safety…she could get hurt; he wouldn't let that happen, not now…

"Kagome go," Inuyasha let her go

"Where?"

"To the village stupid!" Inuyasha yelled

"Inuyasha! Don't make me say 'it'," Kagome warned, that same anger she had felt in her earlier was back and she couldn't control her temper.

"Shut it and run!" Inuyasha yelled again. He barely had time to check to see if she was running before he felt a sword pierce through his shoulder. Gasping and falling to his knees Inuyasha looked behind him to see a bright green eyes staring at him and a smug grin. A fox demon. The demon pulled his sword out of his shoulder and Inuyasha fell forward. Can't move…His vision began to get blurry.

Then felt the demon call out to him. It was trying to rid the human blood in him once again. He wouldn't succumb to the demon's call. He would do it with Tetsusiga. After all he hadn't used his sword in so long and he was itching to use it. But the demon's calls were becoming too difficult to disregard, quickly he allowed himself to hear just what the demon wanted to say.

Release me; I'll save us both

N-no…

"You're weak half-breed, I shall take pleasure in killing your bitch," Inuyasha heard the distant voice of the demon. The voice surrounded him from every angle, yet he couldn't pinpoint the real location. Then it all stopped. Though whispers started… He could faintly heat it, the voice again. Then he heard the footsteps of running. That fucking demon was gunna get Kagome if he didn't get up, but it stung…it hurt to move…

You heard what he's gunna do to Kagome; release me!

No, I will not…

Fuck! You want him to kill her?! She's pregnant and you can't even get up! Let me the fuck out!!

I can't trust you! Not after what happened! You could kill her! I won't let you unless Tetsusiga was ripped away from me! You'll lay dormant till then!

Fine, I'll remember that the next time you need my help…

All of a sudden the demon's presence was gone. Good. He almost gave in. It was enticing. But he wasn't sure if the demon would stop afterwards. Scary thought. Slowly he picked himself up and drew the Tetsusiga where it instantly transformed into the Fangblade. It stung when he moved forward. He wouldn't let that demon get Kagome! Never! He began to run in the direction Kagome had taken. Then he smelt her sweet blood. No! Inuyasha tried to run faster, but he felt no difference. He heard the demon mocking him in all corners of his mind, followed by the lingering sound of 'let me out…'

Inuyasha ran on until he smelt the demon's foul smell. He saw a figure lying down on the dirt path. He growled…Kagome! He saw the demon bending over her, with his sword and her neck. He was so close just a bit farther… that's when the demon began to smell Kagome. Stopping and turning his head, Inuyasha didn't understand. Not wanting to take any chances, Inuyasha began to run again.

"Wind-…" Inuyasha stopped. He couldn't use the Wind Scar; the blasts could hit Kagome. He lowered his sword and saw the demon turn its gaze to him. It jumped off Kagome and stared in shock. Then it turned its head and stared at Inuyasha.

"You're, you're a half dog demon aren't you?" the demon sheathed its sword and lowered its hands to its side

"Depends on whose asking," Inuyasha growled

"Answer the question," the demon growled back

"Ya, why'd you wanna know?"

"Is she your mate?" the demon pointed to Kagome and Inuyasha widened his eyes.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Would you stopping fucking doing that? Answer the damn question!"

"What are you gunna do when I tell you?"

"Answer me!" the fox yelled, narrowing his eyes, making them darker

Inuyasha raised the Tetsusiga and answered "Yes," He finally understood where this was going. He grinned.

The fox widened its eyes "And she is pregnant isn't she?"

Inuyasha smirked "Yes,"

"I…understand," the fox demon ran past Inuyasha who was still grinning. So other demons could sense it too. Demons knew that dog demons were very protective of mates. And Inuyasha himself, being half dog demon, that never changed, however when a dog demon's mate was pregnant, they could be come unpredictable. They would do anything to ensure that their mate and pup were safe. Any smart demon would know that a dog demon with a pregnant mate was dangerous, be it half or not. As a result, it looked like the fox demon would tell the rest of the demons that dwelled in the forest that the half demon had mated and was expecting a pup. Interesting. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome who had her hand over her neck and was wiping up the stray blood. Inuyasha bent down and looked her, it was just the neck right? He looked at her stomach. No blood, good. He helped her up.

"You alright?" Inuyasha looked her over again, then sniffed the air

"I'm fine, just feeling sick again,"

"Lift up your shirt," he needed to be sure…

"Inuyasha!" Kagome's eyes widened

"Just do it!"

"Fine," Kagome shifted up her shirt a bit and Inuyasha looked her stomach over. He bent down and pulled her waist closer to him. He could feel heat rise in her body. No bruises, no cuts and no blood. He sighed; good…she's not hurt…they're not hurt. He smiled a bit.

"Inuyasha? What's all that about?"

"Just making sure," Inuyasha let her waist go and he stood up. He took her hand and led her away from the darkened path. So, it was true, he would need to look out for her more now. It hadn't disappeared like he had hoped. When was he going to tell her? Would he let her discover it on her own? Too many thoughts and not enough answers. He felt Kagome stop and he looked behind him. She was standing there holding her stomach once more.

"You feeling sick again?" Inuyasha let her hand go and pulled her into his arms

"Ya, but it's only my stomach, it's always cramping. Inuyasha, what's wrong with me?" Kagome asked innocently, almost making him blurt out the answer. He felt her grab onto his haori and rest her head on his shoulder. He bit this lip…hard. What would he say? Inuyasha felt the blood in his mouth. He swallowed hard.

"Get on my back, we'll get to Kaede's faster," Inuyasha let Kagome go and he bent down. He felt Kagome get on, followed by a sigh. "Don't get sick on me."

"Okay,"

"Well Miroku, I think I'm going to get some sleep," Sango looked at Miroku who nodded his head. Sango then turned attention to Kirara who was asleep curled on Shippo's stomach. She would let Kirara sleep here for the night. Kirara would know where she would be, "Are you coming Miroku?"

"Yes Sango," Miroku got up and helped Sango in the process. Sango and Miroku had both decided that they needed their own home, so Kaede's village had built them one. However, they always would come and spend time with Kaede. After all, the poor old thing had no one left.

"Lady Kaede?" Miroku whispered

"Yes," Kaede also stood from her spot in the back, where she was crushing herbs

"We're going to head out now, Good Night," Sango yawned a bit, then smiled

"Aye, well, good night ye two,"

"Yes, we'll see you tomorrow," Miroku nodded

Exiting the hut, Miroku grabbed Sango's hand in his own and they began to walk to the left. Their home wasn't far from Kaede's, but far enough for privacy. They both enjoyed it very much. Shippo also was with them sometimes, but normally he spent his time with Kaede, always on the look out for Kagome.

"Are you feeling alright Sango?"

"Hn? What? Yes, yes I'm fine! In four more months, we're gunna be parents," Sango said

"It will be weird," Miroku answered

"Why?"

"Sango? Do you think I'll be a good enough father?" Miroku closed his eyes. He stopped in front of the their hut's door. Sango looked up at him.

"Of course you will Miroku, of course you. So don't worry about it," Sango turned and hugged Miroku. He returned her embrace, and then let her go.

"Come, it's late, and you need sleep," Miroku pushed back the bamboo and Sango walked in. She walked over to where the beds were and slowly lowered herself down. Sango heard the sounds off Miroku's staff as he set it in the corner. She heard him walk down the hardwood floor and stop. Sango felt Miroku appear beside her. Sango turned her body to the side and rest her head down.

"Good Night Sango,"

"Night Miroku," Sango answered softly, she suddenly found herself very tired and worn out. Four months, four months…

Kaede turned away from draping a small blanket around Shippo and Kirara. Kaede walked to the back of the hut to where her own bed was. Glancing at the small fox child she smiled. It was nice to have company again. After all, her sister was roaming the countryside somewhere and has never come to see her at all. And the little fox was very sweet and always wanted to help out. Kaede settle herself on her bed and was about to close her eyes when she heard the bamboo be pushed aside. Sitting up and looking in the direction of the door, she saw Inuyasha panting and a very pale and sick looking Kagome.

"Hey! Kaede? You here?" Inuyasha set Kagome down, who could hardly stand up straight.

"Aye Inuyasha aye. Learn to be quiet Inuyasha; people are trying to sleep. What is going on?"

"Kaede?" Kagome asked weakly

"Kagome," Kaede got up from where she was sitting and went over to Kagome. Inuyasha helped her sit down. "Kagome? What is it?"

"My stomach hurts Kaede, really bad,"

"What kind of hurting Kagome?" Kaede was at the back of her house now, looking upon shelves full of herbs

"Cramping, really bad," Kagome watched as Inuyasha sat down next to her. Kagome's head instinctively went to his shoulder and she closed her eyes. She could feel the beads of sweat that had begun to roll down her back.

"Kagome are ye sure it isn't that-…"

"No, no defiantly not," Kagome blushed. She could hear Kaede grinding things and shuffling around bottles. Kagome didn't want to imagine the things that Kaede was making up for her

"Kagome?" a tired voice turned Inuyasha and Kagome's attention to the back corner of the hut. Coming out of the corner, Shippo was rubbing his tired eyes. But he widened his eyes at the site of Kagome and ran towards her. Kagome widened her eyes and feared that if he jumped and latched himself onto her stomach that she would be sick. Seeing the look in Kagome's eyes, he waited till Shippo jumped into the air before he grabbed his tail and stopped him.

"Hey! Inuyasha! Let me go!" Shippo squirmed in Inuyasha's grip.

"Kagome's not feeling well," Inuyasha set Shippo down on the ground and he climbed into Kagome's lap.

"Kagome, are you going be ok-…hey wait a minuet. Kagome's you're scent is different," Inuyasha widened his eyes. So the fox can smell it too, damn…

"What do you mean Shippo?"

"Well it almost smells like you are going to-…" He was silenced when Inuyasha hit him over the head. "Ow! Inuyasha why'd you do that?" Shippo rubbed his head. Inuyasha shook his head.

"Kagome's scent is not different," Inuyasha, stated Kagome didn't understand and she didn't have tome to figure it out. Kaede had appeared with a small bowl. And she nodded for Kagome to take it

"Drink this, it will help with the cramps, but it will make ye very drowsy," Kaede watched as Kagome swished the liquid in the bowl. She swallowed and held her nose. Kagome pressed the small bowl to her lips and tipped it back. Finishing it all she set the bowl down and stuck out her tongue.

"Oh, gross! What was that?"

"It's best that ye not ask," Kaede smiled and picked up the bowl. Kagome found her eyes droop and she felt very tired. She rubbed her eyes in a failed attempt to stay awake, but sleep was over coming her too fast.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha turned his attention to her.

"I'm really tired," Kagome shut her eyes again

"Yes, this herbal brew will do that to ye I'm afraid. But get some sleep anyway Kagome," Kaede sat back down and watched as her head nodded a bit. No longer being able to fight it, Kagome fell asleep and her breathing became even.

"So Inuyasha, congratulations," Kaede smiled. Inuyasha merely nodded his head and watched his pregnant mate lean closer to him. He sighed. "Good night Inuyasha, come Shippo, back to sleep,"

"Okay," Shippo sighed and he jumped off Kagome's lap. He ran back to where Kirara was still asleep, but he turned around and said "You'd better tell her soon Inuyasha, or I will." He grinned

"Back off runt!" Inuyasha growled. He looked at Kagome. Still she felt warm. When was he going to tell her? In the morning, maybe, it depends. Inuyasha yawned a bit. Maybe tomorrow. He closed his eyes and sniffed the air. No danger around them. Good. He fell asleep still thinking when and howhe was going to tell her.

It's raining again. Great. Inuyasha woke up to a clouded sky and the sound of rain hitting the roof. He looked over at Kagome who had somehow ended up on the ground and on her side. Her ebony hair was everywhere and she seemed to have cooled down. He looked her over then gasped. The scent had split. Shrugging, Inuyasha was trying to figure out why the scent had split. Then he got it. The scent had split…because…

Inuyasha stood up and stared at Kagome with wide eyes. She's gunna have two pups!!

Well what did you think? R/R as always, thanks to all my reviewers and i hope you all are enjoying the story!
