Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters other than Kenja, and Fujin so far. Though, I do wish I owned Inuyasha! (Smiles widely)

I'm on a roll! I'm writing two chapters in one day! Wooohooo!

Chapter Nine

"Do you like playing at the creek, Shippo?" Fujin asked, jumping across the creek a number of times.

"I used to come here with one of my friends…but then, he moved away. Now I just play with Kirara, and now you!" Shippo said, gratefully.

"Yes, but…your friend moved away?" Fujin said and stopped skipping over it.

"Not really, I just don't want to say what happened." Shippo blushed.

"You can tell me, Shippo. I won't tell anyone, plus, I'm your friend now. You're going to have to tell me sometime."

Shippo nodded in agreement, and he sat down in the dirt to explain, "We were really close friends and then once he found out about me going with Inuyasha and everyone else when he fought demons, he got so excited he wanted to watch with me. Then when he got to come, the demon was so fierce even I had to try and help. Even though, how inexperienced I am…it didn't help much. But my friend had always told me how 'great' he was at fighting. So I asked him to step in, he didn't want to let me down…so he did. And the demon, kind of…killed him. I found out he only said he was great because he wanted to be popular."

"Wow." Fujin said, "I feel so sorry for you…and you haven't had anyone to play with you except a small cat?"

"Kirara can grow. She's awesome! We play a lot, and now hopefully she can be left alone. Now that you've come." Shippo said, "You want to go swing into the hot springs with the rope I hung over a tree?"

"Hai!" Fujin called out and they both ran at top speed towards the springs. And when they arrived there, Sango and Kagome were enjoying a nice swim. Fujin and Shippo didn't notice, so continued their journey. First Shippo ran onto the rope, and swung himself into the water with a splash. Fujin jumped in afterwards, with a smaller splash and they both started splashing each other. Kagome glanced over at them and whispered to Sango, "That's Fujin, her, her father, and her mother arrived here a few days ago. I introduced her to Shippo, and it seems as if they're getting along fine." Sango grinned as Kagome was talking; she too, was excited about Shippo getting a new friend. Sango rubbed her stomach. "I think I should get out, the heat isn't supposed to be on my stomach." She began to walk towards were Kagome had laid their towels, and she dried off. "Thanks so much for the bathing suit! I don't know why you went through all the trouble just to get all of us these." Sango said feeling all around the bathing suit. "Though, if you want to keep it up, you might want to buy one for Fujin." She nodded her head towards the sweet little girl; she was prancing around the water in her clothes. What would her mother think of this? Then Kagome remembered what Inuyasha and Sango were talking about, going back. Should I? I'd have to go pretty fast. I don't want my mother seeing me, or anyone else I know…and I might grab a test. For the future, it will save a trip back. "Sango, I'm going back. Just to go to the store, though. I'll be back, I'm going to buy a few things." Sango nodded, and Kagome was on her way.


Which one do I get? They're all different things. Why does it matter for a test? It's just a stupid pregnancy test, why do they need more than one? I want a cheap one, but I don't want it to be inaccurate. Nor' do I want to buy an extremely expensive thing for something that might not even happen. She grabbed a box and looked at the back of it, studying what it said. "Well, well, look whose here." Someone said, walking down the isle. No, it couldn't be! Not here! Not now! What will he think? It was Muku. Well, that was his nickname, short for his real name. Which he never really revealed, he claimed his name was too long. He never even told Kagome, his ex girlfriend. (I just made him up, lol) "Well, um, hi, Muku." Kagome stuttered, her hands shaking holding the box. "And who have we been seeing?" Muku said, studying the box Kagome held. "It's nothing, I just picked up the wrong box!" She said and placed it down, grabbing another box, not looking at her actions. Muku glanced at the new one. "Uh, Kagome, please don't tell me you need that one." She turned her head, looking at it. Oh no, it couldn't be…why me? "So, Kagome…You really were going to get the pregnancy test box. Who is it?" Muku interrogated her and she just stood there. "Muku go away! It isn't for me! I haven't even done…it, yet!" She was turning every color possible and Muku was about to burst out in laughter. "Fine, fine…but Kagome, I'll be watching you." He said as he trailed off to another isle, laughing so loudly everyone eyeballed him and Kagome. Kagome picked up a box, and walked over to the bathing suit isle. She stuffed the box between her arm. She glanced through every bathing suit, wanting to get herself out of there quickly, and one caught her eye. It looked as if it were calling Fujin's name, and it seemed as if it fit perfectly. It was beautiful with lots of different colors of blue, and 3 shades of purple. Kagome grabbed that, and ran to the counter. She quickly paid, and ran out the door.
"Thanks, Kagome! It's so pretty!" Fujin said and smiled, holding the bathing suit after Kagome explained what it was for. Then Kagome took Sango into a separate room to talk to her.

"Sango."

"Hai?"

"I bought one."

"Test?"

"Yes…I want to try it. Sometime. I need to talk to Inuyasha about it."

"Well, then we can be pregnant together!" Sango said almost loud enough for someone else to hear.

"Shhh! I'm going to tell Inuyasha after dinner. But now, now…I don't know."

"Whatever you want Kagome, but I just can't stand how exciting it will be for us to both be pregnant!"

"I know…" Kagome said, and she waved, and walked out of the room. She saw Inuyasha outside in a tree. She walked towards the tree and climbed up it slowly. "Hey." She said, excited to see him.

"Hello, Kagome." She crawled into his lap.

"What were you doing?"

"Just thinking."

"About what?" Kagome said. Inuyasha hesitated for a moment, and then he thought about what he had said before. What he said when Kagome was unconscious. He remembered it in his mind. I'm not afraid.

"I was thinking about what it would be like if you got pregnant." He said, and he blushed, but Kagome couldn't see. Kagome's face flushed of all color. Did he hear me?

"Oh…that would be nice."

"Yea, I guess."

Just then Sango came out, and waved for them to come in. So Kagome jumped down, with Inuyasha following behind, and everyone sat at the table for dinner. Sango brought in ramen noodles. Kagome happily smiled, this will put him in a better mood after dinner! He'll be more supportive…if he is. Inuyasha's face lit up, and he quickly devoured his bowl.

"I had a really nice day today with Fujin." Shippo said.

"What did you do?" Miroku asked, and Shippo trailed off explaining his day, with each and every little detail. But Inuyasha seemed as if he wasn't listening, and the same for Kagome. They both were just staring at each other. Looking as if in deep thought…though, you could tell, it was about the same thing.


"Inuyasha, I'd like to tell you something." Kagome said, holding his hand out on the porch of the hut.

"What is it?" He said as she laid her head onto his shoulder.

"Today when I went to the store, to get Fujin's bathing suit…I went to buy something else too."

"Like what, candy?"

"No…I bought a pregnancy test."

"HAVE YOU BEEN SCREWING SOMEONE ELSE?" Inuyasha asked her, his face looking mad with anger.

"NO! Of course not! I'd only do it with you, Inuyasha! Even though we haven't…I just bought it because, well…"

"Because?"

"I want to try and get pregnant. The way Sango was talking about it, I just wanted to try. And if I'm going to stay here with you, than I want to start a real life here! Think about it, we'll have our own pup!" Inuyasha's face stayed the same color, by now he'd gotten used to talking about it with her. For some strange reason, he didn't hesitate to respond.

"Kagome?"

"…Please don't tell me you hate me now."

"No, I actually want a pup too. I think…I think it's a good idea."
