Chapter Four: Child Flu
The door to the hut opened with a creek which made Kagome's eyes pop open. She stayed laying very still with her back turned to whoever had entered. Inuyasha laid down next to her and put an arm around her waist. 'He knows.' Kagome could tell by the gentle touch of her hanyou. He pulled onto her tummy making her lie on her back. She turned her face to look up at him. And he looked down to her. They just stared into each other's eyes momentarily. Gazing at who they loved so much.
"Kagome... why didn't you tell me?" She blinked her eyes at him as the tears formed in her eyes. He placed a loving hand on her face, moving her hair back with his thumb as he too began to cry silently. "I don't know!" She cried out, wrapping her arms around him and sobbing loudly onto his shoulder. He gripped the back of her shirt as the rage built back up inside of him. 'How dare he put my Kagome through all this, he will pay dearly.' A tear ran down Inuyasha's cheek, and he softly cried with Kagome as they held each other.
The next morning Kagome was sick and throwing up. "It was probably the last parts of that bore." Sango suggested. Inuyasha was right by Kagome's side all morning. Holding her hair, and rubbing her lower back for her. Even Miroku couldn't believe how attentive he was being. "Should we hold off traveling?" Sango asked Inuyasha, as she held a damp cloth over Kagome's forehead. "Yeah, at least until she is feeling better." Inuyasha sighed, and walked out to get some fresh air.

"Hmmm." Naraku thought hard to himself as he watched the group. 'It seems she is showing symptoms. Excellent.' He thought to himself and send Kanna away. He then called Kagura in to him. "Yes my Lord?" Kagura answered with a bow of her head. "I want you to go and tell them of my offering." She nodded her head and pulled a feather from her hair, flying off into the night.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night Kagome was feeling a bit better and so they decided to travel the outskirts of the village to camp instead of staying in a hut. Kagome was reading everyone a story when a gust of wind flew over them. Everyone looked to see Kagura and the saimyosho. Kagome took Shippou and went to hide behind a tree. Sango and Miroku stood their ground, while Inuyasha unsheathed his sword. "Put your weapons down, I am only here to talk." Kagura said. "Yeah right, where's Naraku?" Inuyasha growled. "That's exactly what I am here to talk about." She said and closed her fan, landing softly on the ground from her feather.
No one put their weapons down and Kagura sighed. "Naraku wishes for a one on one battle, between himself and Inuyasha only. A battle of Samurai skills. Nothing more. No magic, or other means of a weapon but a sword." "And if I refuse?" Inuyasha asked. "The girl Kagome, will become Naraku's wife." "Pfft... as if I'd let that happen." He replied. "He is a powerful man, you know he can do it by means of a spell or what not." Inuyasha glared. Kagura went on. "This would be a battle to the death. Battling each other when you are both but humans." "How can I trust that Naraku would be human?" Inuyasha wanted to know. "Naraku chooses when he will become a human, and he wants a fair fight. So what'll it be? I haven't got all day." Kagura opened her fan and began to fan her face. Inuyasha thought heavily for a moment. He turned to look at Kagome who nodded her head. "I'll do it." "Excellent, on the next night of the new moon, see you in six days." She said, and then flew away.
Inuyasha put his sword away and ran over to Kagome. "This is perfect Inuyasha." She said, sounding excited. "How?" He asked. "This is the most perfect opportunity to kill Naraku. Think about it, we never see him, and when we do, it's usualy a puppet. And you have excellent Samurai skills." "If I'm gonna be fightin as a human this swords gonna be no use to me in it's original form." Inuyasha said, gripping his Tetsusaiga. "Then we will get you a new sword." Kagome replied.
The next morning Kagome was sick and throwing up again. "I really think I am coming down with some kind of stomach flu or something." Kagome said. "I think I should go home and make a doctors appointment." Instead of arguing for once, Inuyasha just nodded. So Kagome went back home and everyone else went back to Kaede's village.
They soon met up with Totosai and began to ask him about getting Inuyasha a new sword. Totosai suggested they make a new one created from a fang of Inuyasha's. They all agree and Totosai took a fang from Inuyasha's mouth. Reassuring him it would grow back within a mere half a day. Totosai said that making the sword would take him three days.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome sat nervously on the paper set over the doctors table. She swung her feet below her, watching the clock tick when suddenly the doctor came back in with her test results. "Kagome, you are pregnant." Kagome's mouth dropped open. She wasn't sure she had heard right. "P..Pregnant?" She repeated. The doctor nodded. Kagome burst into tears, wailing and crying hysterically. "Of course there are options." The doctor said. Kagome had never agreed with abortion. But also had never thought: What if the girl was raped? She continued crying but slowly calmed down. The doctor then sat down and began telling her of her options. "You have three months to decide wether or not to keep the baby."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She was suppose to be back by nightfall." Inuyasha argued. "I'm sure something just came up, she IS sick after all." Sango tried to reasure the half demon. Inuyasha groaned and paced back and forth. "Just go check on her if you're that worried." Shippou said. "Fine I will." Inuyasha took off towards the well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome couldn't tell her mother or grandfather or even little Souta everything that had been going on. 'They would never allow me to return to the feudal era again.' Kagome buried her head in her pillow. 'Pregnant.' She heard in her mind again. She rolled over on her back and let her hand set lightly on her tummy. 'With Naraku's child.' She shivered. the reality of it all just sickening. A knock came to her window which made her hand jump. She sat up and saw Inuyasha come inside. 'Oh great. With this new news I completely forgot to go back to the past!' Kagome thought. "Oh I'm sorry Inuyasha, I'll get ready right now." She packed what she needed and Inuyasha carried her back to the feudal era.
'How will I tell Inuyasha? I guess he has a right to know.' They arrived and Kagome got off of Inuyasha. She greeted everyone as usual and that evening, Kagome wandered off on her own to think. Sango soon showed up behind Kagome and whispered a soft, "Hey." Kagome turned and smiled. Happy to see her. 'Maybe telling Sango would make me feel better.' She thought. "Sango." Kagome said. "Yes?" "I can tell you anything right?" "Anything." Sango replied. "And you wouldn't tell anyone else if I asked you not too?" Sango shook her head. "Nope."
Kagome sat Sango down and told her the news. Sango just looked blankly to the ground, blinking thoughtfully. "I know I should get rid of it----" "Yes, you should, without a second thought." Kagome's eyes went wide at her friend's responce. "But how would you?" Sango asked. "There are ways we can do it in the present. Should I get rid of it and still tell Inuyasha? Or not tell him at all?" Sango looked down again, her lips somewhat tight in a deep thoughtful look. She took in a deep breath and sighed. "He should know. You two shouldn't have any secrets. But make sure he knows it will not be born." Kagome nodded her head.
