After the awkward encounter with Koga, the gang was off and running again, but Kagome went back home to get more supplies. Sesshomaru had come and gotten Rin while Kagome was home and he didn't say one word to any of them...he just simply showed himself and Rin thanked them and was off. Inuyasha was kind of glad to have Rin gone because it seemed to be like having a part of Sesshomaru traveling with them and it sickened him.
Inuyasha waited outside of the well for Kagome and the others watched him from some bushes.
"What do you think Koga meant by what he said? He was acting so strangly."
Sango shrugged at Shippo and Miroku just shook his head. He had an idea of what Koga was talking about, but he wasn't really sure yet...he would have to investigate. Sango noticed that Miroku was quiet and she turned to him. He was staring off into nothing and she just watched him curiously.
Miroku noticed that Sango was watching him and he turned to her. She blushed madly and turned away quickly. He smiled wickedly and glanced down and he butt. His smiled widened as he reached out and slowly caressed her bottom.
Sango's eyes went wide and she gritted her teeth with anger.
'THAT STUPID, LECHEROUS MONK!'
Sango wanted to turn around and belt him hard, but she remembered what Kagome had said to her and she hesitated.
'I mean...that ever since Inuyasha and I admitted our feelings for eachother, things have gone...quite pleasantly. I mean, maybe he won't look at other women anymore once he has you...'
Sango fought a battle within her. She wanted to stop him, but a part of her didn't. She liked him touching her, but she would like him to touch somewhere's else once in awhile.
Sango whipped around and Miroku coward in front of her. She scowled and took a deep breath.
"Listen, Mirkou. I don't mind if you touch me, but...please couldn't you touch me somewhere's else once in a great while? It's kind of getting old, don't you think?"
Miroku blinked with confusion and Shippo looked at Sango with amazment.
"My dear Sango...are you feeling well?"
Miroku put a hand to her forehead and then on his. She smiled at him and nodded slowly. He looked at her and shook his head with shock.
"What?"
Miroku shook his head again and Sango turned back to watching Inuyasha, who was now joined with Kagome. They were kissing slowly and Sango smiled widely.
"Isn't it nice to see them together like that?"
Shippo nodded with agreement and Miroku just looked at the back of Sango's head with a look of softness in his eyes. He loved her and he was quite sure that she loved him, but he didn't want to seal the deal yet...not until Sango showed that she was totally ready to. Of course, he would never want to force her to do something that she didn't want to do.
"Hey, Inuyasha? What do you think Koga meant?"
Inuyasha shrugged and pushed back a loose piece of hair from Kagome's face. He sniffed her lightly and shrugged again.
" I don't know, but I don't smell anything different about you. Maybe his senses were out of whack from shock."
Kagome nodded, but that still didn't quench her need to know what was wrong with her. She wanted to believe Inuyasha, but she just couldn't. She felt something was off and she was determined to find out.
A couple days later...
Kagome was at home again and she was getting ready to go to school. Inuyasha let her go back home because she was starting to not feel well. She kept getting a queasy stomach every morning and she would have to sit down until the feeling passed. There was a stomach virus going around in school, but she hadn't been there in a while so she knew it couldn't be that. She wasn't throwing up and she didn't have a fever, but she did feel like she was going to throw up.
Kagome glanced at her calander and she looked at it with wide eyes. She was 4 days late with her period and she started to get worried. She then remembered that she hadn't been showing the signs of her beginning to get her period. She usually would have sat Inuyasha about 50 times the couple of days before her period. When she asked her mom she said it could was just hormones and the changes her body is going through, but she was still suspicious.
Kagome walked into the health classroom at school and looked on the bookshelf slowly. Her fingers went down a few until they rested on one particular one. She had this aching suspicion to check the Pregnancy for Beginners book. Since her and Inuyasha did...uh...the dirty, she just wanted to maybe rule out or check the chance for being pregnant.
Kagome flipped through some pages and came to the chapter titled: "Signs of Pregnancy." She read the paragraph out loud...
"The first sign of being pregnant is the illness of Morning Sickness. Many get this severely, while others have just upset stomachs that make them feel like they're going to vomit. Unfortunatley, this only lasts about 4 to 5 days into the pregancy and then the woman begins to vomit. More common signs are increased hunger pains, tiredness, irritablitly, mood swings, fainting spells, back pains etc..."
Kagome read a little more and she was wide-eyed the whole time. She had some of the signs and she looked around the room and he eyes rested upon some pregnancy tests that the teacher was using for showing. She grabbed one and headed for the bathroom.
Sango and Shippo waited for Kagome outside the well and Inuyasha was up in his favorite tree taking a nap. Miroku was in the village with Kaede, helping her make some herbal remedies to help Kagome.
When the vines moved from inside the well, Shippo perked up and jumped onto the mouth of the well.
"Kagome! You're back!"
Kagome nodded from the darkness and pulled herself and he yellow backpack up the vines. She settled on the mouth of the well and Sango looked at her pale face.
"Kagome, are you alright?"
Kagome nodded and wiped the sweat off of her brow.
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
"Well, you don't look it. Let's get you to the village so Kaede can give you some medicine."
Kagome nodded again and started to follow Sango and Shippo. Shippo ran ahead and Kagome caught up with Sango as soon as Shippo was out of hearing range. They stopped on the hill over looking the village and Kagome turned to Sango.
"I have to tell you something, Sango. Please, you can't tell anyone...not even Inuyasha."
Sango nodded and got a worried expression on her face. Kagome was really pale and she looked like she had seen a ghost.
"What is it, Kagome?"
Kagome took a deep breath and exaled out into the calm breeze.
"I know what Koga was talking about..."
"What! Is it serious?"
Kagome shrugged and was silent. How could she explain it to Sango? It was serious, but not life threatening...well actually, life altering. How could she be pregnant and the father be in another lifetime? There was no way for her to adjust to this change and she knew it was going to be trouble.
"Sango...I-I'm...p-pregnant."
Sango gave her a blank expression and then it turned into a joyous one.
"That's wondeful, Kagome! OH MY GOD! But...why don't you want to tell Inuyasha?"
Kagome sighed angrily and she shook her head.
"I don't know. I just...I just don't want to right now. I mean...it's early and I don't want to become a burden on him."
"You wouldn't become a burden."
Kagome gave Sango a look to say "Yeah right" and she sighed again.
"Yes I would. You know how he gets when I'm in danger, Sango. Now if he knew that I was pregnant with his child...don't you think he would be hanging off me all the time. He might even go over to my time with me and try to protect me there. I just can't make him do that and I would feel so bad about it."
Sango nodded to indicate that she understood and she knew Inuyasha would be like that.
"You do have a point, Kagome. Maybe you should wait...you should tell your mother first."
Kagome gasped and put her hand on her head.
"Wh-oh my god...I didn't even think what my mother is going to say...or think for that matter. I mean...she's always been good about stuff, but this...this is going to throw her through a loop. I don't know who to tell first. Inuyasha could go with me to tell, but...ugh...I don't know what to do!"
Sango hugged Kagome and they walked together arm in arm down the hill into the village.
Inuyasha was outside of Kaede's hut when Sango and Kagome showed up. Inuyasha smiled at Kagome and she smiled back uneasy. He noticed and he gave her a confused look, but she walked passed him and into the hut. Inuyasha followed her and stopped her before she got in further.
"Are you feeling any better?"
"Yeah...I feel fine. All I needed was a good night's sleep and a good dinner that my mom made."
Sango looked at Kagome and she looked at her over Inuyasha's shoulder. Sango shrugged and Kagome just frowned slightly. It hurt her to lie to Inuyasha, but it was what she thought was best for now and she didn't want Inuyasha making a big deal about it.
Inuyasha nodded and walked over to Kaede as she passed out bowl's of stew to the group. Kagome licked her lips. She was starved and she now had two to feed.
A.n: Yes, a very mellow chapter, but the end almost here and the final battle is coming...so brace yourselves! It's going to be a bumpy ride!
