A/N: Here is chapter three. Once again, thanks for the reviews. I love getting reviews.

Disclaimer: You know the drill; I don't own InuYasha.

'I can't believe he's being such a jerk,' Kagome commented to herself as she lay in her bed. She had returned home the preceding day after her little tête-à-tête with InuYasha. 'I didn't expect him to be happy or anything, but it would've been a whole lot easier if he was.'

There was a knock on the door. "Kagome," her mother called. "Can I come in?"

Kagome sauntered over to the door and reluctantly let her mother in. She wasn't in the mood for a 'talk'.

"How'd it go?" Mrs. Higurashi inquired.

Kagome sighed. "Let me put it this way, Mom; it could've been better."

"What did he say?" her mother asked.

Kagome sighed. "He just…" She glanced toward the window, hearing a light tapping sound.

"Look who it is," her mother giggled. "Maybe you could try talking to him again."

Kagome turned to see InuYasha perched on her window seal. She glared at him and turned back to her mother. "I don't want to talk to him."

Mrs. Higurashi started heading toward the door. "I don't think you have a choice," she said, vacating the room.

InuYasha slid the window open, making his way toward Kagome.

She turned her head away defiantly.

"I'm sorry," he said in a passion swathed voice. "I guess I was just… afraid." He bound his arms around her and lightly kissed her forehead.

"We'll get through this together, right?" she murmured softly as she clasped closer to him.

He nodded slowly in response.

The two remained in the embrace, feeling sheltered from the rest of the world; all unkempt thoughts and feelings were no longer obtainable.

Three words
Refrained from escaping my lips

"The others won't be expecting this," Kagome joked, breaking the silence.

He smiled at her. "I can't wait to tell Koga," InuYasha muttered.

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Nothin'." He mentally smirked. He could not wait to see the look on that wimpy wolf's face when he was enlightened with this little scenario.

I now have the audacity to say them
For you infuse my soul
For your heart is refuge for mine
My oasis

There was an abrupt call from downstairs. "Kagome, your friends are here! I'm sending them up!"

'They always have had bad timing,' she groaned inwardly. 'Wait a minute! InuYasha is here! I can't let them see him!' Kagome grabbed his arm and led him to her closet. "No time to explain," she said as he struggled against her grip. Kagome pushed him inside and slammed the door shut.

This ineffable feeling
So sublime
I was incredulous of it
Then you
Were so graciously sent from the heavens

" Kagome, who are you talking to?" Ayumi questioned as the posy entered the room.

"No one," she said quickly.

"You're mom said that you had something important to tell us, about why you were crying the other day," Yuka stated. "So, what is it?"

Kagome was baffled. Why would her mother think that she actually wanted to tell her friends?

Eri stared at Kagome curiously. "Are you pregnant?"

To heal
My disheveled heart
To instill
A reflection of hope and trust
In my blinded eyes

"How did you.." Kagome tried to ask.

"I heard your mom discussing it with mine when they ran into each other at the grocery store."

The other two girls gasped and began their usual interrogation. "Is that true? Who's the father? Why didn't you tell us about this? What's it like?"

"Stop! I'm sorry, I'm just not ready to talk about this right now. I just need to be left alone for a while."

"Sorry," Ayumi said. "We know this must be hard for you. We'll go now if you want." She motioned the others to the door. They left implicitly.

Kagome felt a hand lightly squeeze her shoulder.

"What was that about?"

She turned and stared at InuYasha. "Nothing." Kagome kissed him gently.

This is my creed
I love you
My angel

"I love you," InuYasha mumbled against her lips.

Kagome pulled back, looking at him blankly. "What did you just say?"

A/N: I tried my best to make it longer than last time. I added some fluff! And, I put Kagome's friends in it. I think they're so funny with all the questions they always ask about her "delinquent boyfriend." I love the episode where they actually meet InuYasha! (ep. 160) REVIEW PLEASE by the way the poem I put in this story is one I wrote. It's getting published. I feel so special.
