Disclaimer: I do not Inuyasha and company I only own Kagome's baby hehehe it's mine! Sorry I calmed down.
Secret Revealed
"Kagome didn't know what to do. She couldn't stand to lie to her friend so she told the truth. "Sango-Chan I'll tell you but not here. Let's go back to the village before Inuyasha thinks I haven't come back. I will tell you later." Sango nodded and both girls turned to walk towards the village.
Inuyasha looked up from mopping on the floor of Kaede's hut when a familiar scent came to his nose. "Kagome's back. It's about fucking time." He replied in his usual I-hate-her-she-a-tama-detector voice. Shippo jumped up and flew out the door at Kagome's stomach.
"KAGOME!" the little ball of fur screamed as Kagome caught him. "Hello Shippo, I'm happy to see you too." She smiled down at the little kitsune. "Welcome back Kagome-sama." replied a very red faced monk. Kagome just smiled and looked over to Sango's direction with a knowing glance. 'On of these days she going to kill him with all the hit he gets.' she thought. The four of them continued walking into the hut to see Kaede and Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was sitting in the same spot on the floor with his arms folded across his chest and his legs crossed. He looked away when Kagome came in and only replied with a signature comment.
"Feh. Woman you said you'd be back hours ago. I was about to go drag you back kicking and screaming. Stupid wench." He turned his nose up to emphasize the fact that he didn't care she was back.
"Inuyasha, I had to take some test. I don't care if I was a little late at least I came back baka!" Kagome was getting angry already. She could feel her mood go from fear of facing him to anger quickly.
"You weren't going to come back?" asked the now teary eyed kitsune in her arms.
"Of Course I would Shippo. I wouldn't leave you." She smiled down at him to reassure him that she wasn't going anywhere.
"Feh. Of course you were coming back or I would have gone and dragged you back…" "SIT" Inuyasha was unable to finish his thought when his face was formally introduced to the floor. "Stupid b…." "Finish that comment and I'll sit you till I loose my voice." Kagome replied forgetting that her statements sent him further into the floor.
Sango observed the girls anger and figured she would use now to talk to her. "Kagome-Chan didn't you say you wanted a bath now. Let's go to the spring and bath." Sango grabbed Kagome's bag and started out the hut, but turned around at the door to say, "Miroku follow us and I will beat you unconscious." Not that she hadn't before but Miroku did not want a repeat.
Kagome moved to follow Sango in silence. As they walked to spring, Kagome begin to think back to her mood swing inside the hut. She didn't understand why she had become so angry with Inuyasha. Then she thought back to when she went home. She didn't really have a test to take per say. She took a pregnancy test when she went home. It was an important test but not the kind her friends thought it was. She was taken away from her thought when she saw Sango looking at her with a worried look.
"Is something wrong Sango-Chan?" Kagome began undressing and entered the spring with Sango right behind her.
"Kagome, I don't mean to be rude but back to my question form earlier. Where did you go that night?"
Kagome looked away. She knew she couldn't lie to Sango's face but, she also knew she didn't want to lie to Sango. She was dealing with a lot by herself and she didn't want to do it anymore. She hadn't seen Kouga since that night and now she desperately need to talk to someone…anyone.
"Umm…Well…I…."Kagome franticly tried to think of something else to distract her but finally gave up and gave in to herself. She broke down and began to cry. Sango moved closer and put her arms around her friend.
"Kagome it's ok. If you don't want to tell me it's ok I understand. I just thought maybe you wanted to talk." Sango continued to comfort her friend. Through tears Kagome manage to choke out the story to Sango.
"I ….I…I…slept with Kouga. And now I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do. I haven't seen him since that night. He said he would come back to check on me but he hasn't. He told me he loves me but I don't know what I've done. I can't bear to look at Inuyasha anymore. I'm too frightened that when he finds out he will hate me. I think I still have feelings for him. Help me Sango please." Sango was speechless at this admittance. She had expected Kagome to say she went for a walk or something small not for to say something of this extremity to her.
"Shh. Everything will be ok Kagome. Don't worry." Kagome's tears began to subside and looked up at Sango waiting for some sort of advice from the older girl.
"Are you going to tell Inuyasha?"
"No. I can't have him hate. Even though he chooses Kikyo over me I still love him."
"Well are you going to keep the baby? I remember you telling me something about 'abortions' in your world."
"NO! I could never kill my baby. NEVER!" Kagome felt herself near tears again.
"Well why don't you tell him when you think the time is right, but you know it better you tell him then him find out from Kouga." Kagome hadn't thought of this possibility. 'Kouga and Inuyasha hate each other. Of course Kouga would brag that Kagome was now his woman and carrying his child.'
"I'll think of something Sango but thank you for letting me talk to you. I feel a little better. "Kagome forced a weak smile and moved to get dried and dressed. Sango followed and the two girls walked back to the hut.
As soon as the girls came in the hut they helped Kaede with dinner. Kagome was so preoccupied with that she was doing she didn't notice Inuyasha staring at her. 'Why is her scent so different? I just can't place this new smell.' Inuyasha continued to stare at Kagome until he noticed two pairs of eyes staring at him.
"If you stare any harder Inuyasha you'll burn a hole in her!" said an annoyed kitsune.
"Shut up brat." And Inuyasha's hitting him upside the head silenced Shippo.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Kagome Inuyasha is picking on me!"
"Inuyasha …." 'Oh Gods please don't say it please don't say it!' He's prayers weren't answered. "SIT" He came crashing down into the floor. "Stupid Bitch" "Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!" With that Kagome stormed out of the hut to seek solitude in the forest.
She had just sat down under the God tree when….'Shikon shards out here. And they are coming fast.' She was just about to scream from Inuyasha when she saw a cloud of dust come towards her and clear revealing none other then Kouga.
"Oi Kagome. Where's dog-face?" Kouga stood next to Kagome but didn't sit. I was like he was waiting for you her answer.
"He's in the village" Kagome purposely left out the part about her sitting him in the ground.
"Oh good. So we have some time alone to talk." Kouga sat down next to Kagome and gently took her hand. "You haven't having second thoughts about what he did are you?" He looked down at the ground and found a small rock that he began to play with.
"I... I don't know." Kagome wished more then anything she could have taken back her last comment. The look of hurt in Kouga eyes hurt her more then anything. She felt like she destroyed him. "Wait Kouga that not what I meant. I was trying to say that I don't regret what we did. I just don't think I'm old enough to handle the outcome." Kouga understood when she meant better then she expected. 'She is talking about the pup she carrying. I didn't even think about if she would be ok with having my pup.'
"Kagome there is something I need to tell you and I hope you don't get mad at me. Please promise you won't yell?" Kouga was once again looking down at the ground still playing with the rock and still holding her hand. "I don't know if I can promise that but I'll try not to get angry." She tried to smile at him to show she would try but he wouldn't meet her gaze.
"I purposely gave you my pup. I mean I made sure that you would always have a part of me. Gomen ne." Kouga couldn't look at her but he could smell her anger and feel it. She forcefully pulled her hand from his and stood up. When he finally looked at her, he instantly wished he hadn't.
"YOU DID WHAT!" Her face was as red as an apple. She had screamed at the top of her lungs and was sure that Inuyasha would hear. She didn't care. She was in too much shock to care.
"You purposely got my pregnant without asking me without seeing how I felt about it. Kouga it my body." She suddenly felt light headed. 'I think I'm going to faint if I stay here. Inuyasha defiantly heard me scream. I should leave.' "Kouga-kun I need to leave. I don't think I can speak to you right now. I'm just to hurt that you would do something like that with out my permission. When I'm ready to talk to you I'll come to you." She turned to leave but was stopped by his hand on her wrist.
"Please Kagome know that I only did it because I love you." Kagome was taken back by this. 'I never stopped to think that maybe he did it for love. But this is still wrong in some way.'
"Kouga I need time to think please just give me that." She turned and waited for his answer.
Little did Kagome know that at the very moment a certain dog demon arrived on the scene and was about to tear Kouga apart but stopped when he saw the sadness in Kouga's face.
"Hai Kagome. Gomen." And just as he had entered he was gone in a swirl of winds.
Inuyasha took this as his cue to talk to her, but approached with caution due to their last encounter. 'I wonder what he's sorry for. I wish I had have heard the rest of the conversation. I better be careful of I will get sat again.'
"Kagome" Inuyasha made sure to make his voice sound sad so she wouldn't get mad. "Are you ok? I heard you scream."
Kagome was startled by the sound of her name. She turned and found Inuyasha walking slowly towards her. "No Arigatu Inuyasha. I'm fine" She tried to quickly think of a story to tell him as to why she was talking to Kouga.
"Was that wimpy wolf hurting you cause I'll kill him if he hurt you." The last part was almost said in a whisper. Kagome did not know how to answer. 'Is he saying that he actually cares if I get hurt. Wait what am I saying, I'm carrying Kouga's baby.'
The look on Kagome's face worried Inuyasha. "Kagome are you ok?"
"Hai. I'm fine. I just feel a little…" Inuyasha rushed forward and grabbed Kagome before she hit the ground. She was unconscious. Inuyasha turned and ran towards the village with Kagome in his arms. 'Hold on Kagome. You'll be ok.' Inuyasha tighten his hold on the unconscious girl in his arms as he burst through the door of Kaede's hut.
"Inuyasha what happened to Kagome" Miroku asked as he looked up at the troubled hanyou.
"I don't know but it has something to do with Kouga." Kaede rushed everyone out to let Kagome rest.
Outside in the forest, Inuyasha sat and thought about Kagome. 'What happened to her? If I found out Kouga hurt her, I'll kill him.' The thought sent a hind a red into Inuyasha's eyes. 'Why am I getting so angry? Why do I care? She's just a Tama Detector. But how dare that wolf hurt my Kagome! My Kagome? When did she become my Kagome?' Inuyasha shook his head to clear his thoughts. He jumped down from the tree and made his way towards the village. He sat down outside Kaede's hut waiting for news on Kagome.
