Two hours had passed and Inuyasha was still upstairs. Kikyou had enough of the silence so she decided to go upstairs. She wanted to try to talk to him. She reluctantly knocked on the door. "Inuyasha?"

"Yeah." He replied.

"I hope that you will not stay angry long." There was no response. "Anyway dinner is ready. I won't force to come downstairs but you can't stay in this room forever." She started to walk away but stopped when she heard the door open.

"Kikyou?"

"Yes?" She turned around. He walked over to her then placed his arms around her. He captured her in a tight embrace. Kikyou slowly returned his hug. "I'm sorry." he whispered.

"Its okay I just have to get used to this new situation."

"Here I go screwing things up again. I should have never yelled at you."

"Don't worry so much. You can go downstairs and eat."

"Where are you going?" he asked her.

"I'm going to go take a bath."

He let her go and watched as she went into the bathroom. He had to make this up to her somehow because his amnesia was harder on her than it was on him. To him it seemed as if they had this amazing relationship. A relationship that was slowly starting to fall apart. Even if he didn't remember loving her he didn't want their marriage to end. "She means everything to me I'm sure of It." he thought to himself.

Kikyou sat in the bath she loved him but right now she needed a moment alone. This was starting to become difficult. She was grateful that he didn't die in that accident. She was thankful that he was able to come back to her in one piece. But he wasn't back not completely anyway. She saw the man that she loved standing before her only it wasn't really him. Every time she looked into those golden eyes she never saw her Inuyasha staring back at her. She only saw frustration and regret. Even when he hugged her it felt different. After about an hour she decided that it was time to get out so she could face him. She couldn't avoid him they were still married despite the amnesia. Just as she was wrapping the towel around herself Inuyasha was walking through the door.

"Inuyasha what are you doing?"

He walked over to her placing his finger to her lips. "Shhh…. don't speak." He kissed her slowly as his hands wandered all over her body. And in that moment all of her doubts and frustrations left her. She could only see the man in front of her. She gave into her instincts and desires she pulled his shirt over his head then started to unbuckle his pants. He picked her up carrying her back to their room. He gently laid her down on the bed.

"I want you." He whispered to her.

"I'm yours."

His member was close to her womanhood but when she didn't feel anything she looked at him. "I can't." he whispered.

"What? Don't tell me that you forgot how to….."

But he immediately stopped her. "No! It's not that."

"Then what is it?"

"I'm not ready to make love to you."

She stared at him slightly confused but she was not surprised. "I understand." Kikyou got up and put some clothes on. "I should be able to make love to my own wife. What the hell is wrong with me?"

"Inuyasha I was a stranger to you a few weeks ago. You can't expect to want to be intimate so soon."

Knowing this didn't stop him from feeling guilty. He wanted to make love to her only for some reason he backed out at the last minute. It wasn't because he didn't find Kikyou beautiful that simply was not the case. "Maybe she's right." He thought to himself.

"I'll tell you what why don't we go out for dinner tonight?" she suggested.

"Okay."

Dinner was quiet they didn't say too much to each other. They were both still stuck on the situation that happened earlier. Inuyasha mentally blamed himself for what happened. To him it seemed as if he was causing all of their problems. On the other hand Kikyou had not blamed him for what happened. If he couldn't even tell her that he loved her. What made him think that they were ready to take that next step? Instead of being a married couple she felt like they were just starting a new relationship.

"This is like high school all over again." She thought to herself.

Moments later another couple entered the room. She recognized them immediately from high school they had all been friends. Their names were Miroku and Sango Kanzana. "Wow it's nice to see that they're still together."

"Who's still together?" Inuyasha asked threw mouthfuls of food.

"Miroku and Sango." She answered.

"'Who the hell are they?"

"They were our friends in high school. We used to go on double dates together."

Sango looked up from her menu when she saw Kikyou sitting there. A smile appeared on her face. "Hey Kikyou?" she called from across the room.

"Kikyou's here?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah and Inuyasha too come on lets go say hi to them."

It had been about 5 years since high school and that was the last time that they had seen each other. "Hey Kik." She said hugging her friend tightly.

"Sango how are you?"

"I'm fine." Kikyou stared down at her growing stomach.

"Fine and pregnant I see. Miroku I suppose you finally achieved your goal."

"Yes I'm about 3 months to be exact."

"Hey Inuyasha long time no see." Miroku spoke as he held out his hand.

"Yeah I guess its Miroku right."

"Yeah." Miroku looked at Kikyou raising his eyebrow in question.

"Kikyou what's going on?" Sango whispered.

"I'll explain everything. Inuyasha we'll be back alright girl talk." Kikyou said to him as she grabbed Sango by the arm. The two women were now making their way to the bathroom. Once inside Sango started to ask some questions. "Okay Kik what's going on?"

"It's a long story but Inuyasha was in a car accident and lost his memory."

"He has amnesia." Sango repeated.

"Yes." She answered sadly.

"Oh Kikyou that's terrible." She hugged her friend.

"It is but I will have to deal with it. So you and Miroku got married."

"Yeah I married him. Well somebody had to do it." She laughed a little. Meanwhile Inuyasha and Miroku weren't making that much progress either.

"So Inuyasha are you still racing?"

"No I was in the hospital for awhile."

"Really why?"

"I was in a car accident."

"Oh so I guess racing is out for awhile."

"Yeah." There was silence for awhile but then Miroku started the conversation back up again. "So you and Kikyou got married huh. Well can't say that I'm surprised."

"Is there a reason why you should be surprised?"

"Well there was that one issue."

"Issue." Inuyasha spoke.

"Yeah but its not important right now." Inuyasha thought it was definitely important. He reached over grabbing Miroku by his shirt collar.

"What was the issue?"

"Um Inuyasha you're a little upset today. So I think that I'll just leave and come back."

"No you're going to tell me what happened." Inuyasha let him go so Miroku could continue speaking.

"Well there was this girl named Kagome. She was what you would say hopelessly in love with you."

"Kagome." He repeated. Miroku saw the confused the look on his face. Miroku began to realize that Inuyasha had no idea who he was.

"Inuyasha what's going on with you?"

"If you must know I lost my memory in that car accident."

"That's awful how's Kikyou handling it?"

"She's trying to deal with it."

"I imagine this must be very difficult on her. You two knew each other since you were kids." Inuyasha didn't know that the two of them had been that close. He had no idea that she was his childhood friend. And more importantly why hadn't she told him. Also why hadn't this Kagome person been mentioned?

"Anyway I'm glad that you stayed with Kikyou. Kagome is not as pretty as her not to mention she is very annoying."

"If she's that annoying then I'm glad that I don't remember her." Inuyasha said. Miroku laughed and watched as the girls were making their way back to the table.

"Sango, Miroku why don't you two join us for dessert?" Kikyou offered.

"Sure if it's okay with you Inuyasha." Sango said to him.

"Feh." They all paused when he said that only too familiar line. When he realized that no one was saying anything he looked at them. "What's your problem?" he asked them.

"Inuyasha do you realize what you just said." Miroku spoke.

"Yeah so."

"You used to say that all the time that's why." Sango answered.

"Oh so I guess I'm not that far gone." Dessert came and left once it was gone the 4 of them split up. But they promised that they would see each other before another 5 years passed. "See you around Kikyou." Sango said.

"Yes hopefully it won't be another 5 years."

"Later Inuyasha."

"Yeah bye Miroku."

"I'll see ya around and try not to get into too much trouble."

He watched as Miroku drove off and he began to wonder if he had any friends besides him. But then realized that it didn't matter because he didn't remember. He had tons of questions for Kikyou. "Kikyou why didn't you tell me that we knew each other when we were kids."

"You never asked."

"Well I'm asking now."

"Our parents were friends so you, Sesshomaru, Keade, and I sort of grew up together."

"Sort of?"

"Keade and I moved away when I was 7 but we would always visit on the holidays." The conversation went silent from there. But when they got home Inuyasha felt that they needed to discuss high school. "Kikyou?"

"Yes?"

"Who's Kagome?"

She paused for a moment and her body got tensed. Why did he have to bring that name up now? "Miroku told you."

"Yeah who is she?"

"Before my father died he told us that he had a child with another woman. His dying wish for us to get along. Only that wish never came true. Kagome was her name. She was jealous of our relationship and she wanted you to all to herself."

"So she was a psycho." Inuyasha started.

"No one has seen or heard from her since high school."

"The girl sounds nuts."

"Inuyasha I would appreciate if you wouldn't speak of her again." She started to walk into the living room with Inuyasha following behind her.

"Sorry Kikyou I was just trying to remember something about my life." She turned to face him a look of anger on her face.

"Why would you want to remember the worst part of our relationship together?"

"If you would tell me some things then I would have never had to find out from Miroku." He yelled.

But she was kneeling over hanging on to the couch. "Kikyou what's wrong?" He went over to her and placed his arms around her. Before he knew it she was fainting into his arms. "Kikyou?" He felt her forehead she was burning up. There was no time to waste he needed to get her to the hospital. He picked her up and ran out to the car. He gently placed her in the back then drove off. He hoped that his yelling at her hadn't caused this to happen. Inuyasha looked over to her.

"Hang on Kikyou." He got to the hospital fast. He took Kikyou out of the car and made his way inside. "Somebody help." He shouted.

"Sir calm down."

"Something's wrong with my wife."

The nurse felt her face she was indeed burning up. "She's burning up I'll get a doctor right away." Moments later a doctor came and Kikyou was placed into a room. Inuyasha tried to go in after her but the doctor stopped him. "Sir you have to wait out here."

"But…"

"We'll call you when you can see her." The doors closed so Inuyasha walked away. He wasn't sure what to do so he called Kikyou's younger sister Keade. Keade came running when it came to her sister. She would be there for her no matter what.

"Inuyasha what happened?"

"We were talking but then she started to collapse."

It wasn't long before the doctors realized what was wrong with her. "What's the patient's name?" the doctor asked.

"Kikyou Tanaka."

"She will be fine once she wakes up."

"She is still running a fever doctor."

"We'll have to watch her closely for the next few hours." The nurse put the ice pack on her head. She watched as her fingers started to move and then she opened her eyes. "Doctor look she's coming around." The doctor turned to see that she was indeed opening her eyes.

"Good to see you up Mrs. Tanaka. You are a very strong woman I wasn't expecting you to be up so soon."

"Where am I?" Kikyou questioned.

"You're in the hospital."

"I' am."

"Yes I have some news for you do you want me to get your husband?" No matter what she didn't want any more pressure placed on to him. So she decided to take the news on herself.

"No you can tell me."

"Well there's good news and bad news. Mrs. Tanaka you're about one month pregnant." Kikyou had always wanted kids but soon began to worry about what Inuyasha would say. He didn't even remember being with her maybe a kid would make things worse.

"What's the bad news?"

"I'm sorry but you have a high risk pregnancy. As the months progress you can't allow a lot of stress to be placed on you. Or else there will be complications for the baby." This had to be the worst news right next to Inuyasha's amnesia. This whole situation was stressful. Tears started to come down her eyes it couldn't possibly get any worse.

"Mrs. Tanaka I'm really sorry."

"Yes well I have no choice but to deal with this. You can send my husband in now."

"Certainly." What should be the happiest time in her life was slowly growing miserable. And the nightmare seemed to keep going with no intention of slowing down. She looked up when she heard footsteps. She looked to see the faces of Keade and Inuyasha.

"Kikyou are you okay?" Keade asked.

"Yes I'm fine." She answered as she tried to wipe the tears away.

"No you're not. You don't have to lie to protect me."

"Keade I will tell you everything but right now I need a moment alone with Inuyasha."

"Okay I guess that's my cue to leave." Once Keade was gone Inuyasha pulled up a seat next to her. He then reached for her hand.

"Kikyou I'm glad that you're alive."

"Thank you for getting me here."

"What's going on? The doctor said that I should ask you." Kikyou started to cry again she almost didn't want to tell him. "Kikyou don't cry."

"There's something that you have to know. Inuyasha I'm pregnant." She expected him to let go of her hand. But he only clutched on to it tighter. "What are we going to do?" she asked.

"What do you mean what are we going to do? It's our baby we're going to raise it."

"Inuyasha." She started. He then put his arms around her. "We're still married you know. So you're stuck with me." He told her.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Keade came back into the room only to see that they were hugging. "Oh so this is why you had me leave the room."

"Oh no the brat is back." Inuyasha stated.

"Yeah that's right so whatever was about to happen should stop now."

"Keade I have something to tell you."

"What's up sis?"

"You're going to be an aunt."

"Really we have to go shopping Kikyou."

"Yes in time. Keade you will not use my baby as an excuse to buy things for yourself."

"No I would never dream about it." she spoke as she placed two fingers behind her back. "Kik what about our other sister?"

"No she will not be apart of this."

"But…" Keade started.

"No! Keade you know how I feel about her."

"Yes I'm sorry." Then they re started the conversation about the baby and Kagome was never mentioned again. Kikyou could see that Keade was excited. This made her realize that telling him about her high risk pregnancy would only make things worse.

"I can't tell them." She thought to herself.
