Chapter Seven
A.N. I know most of you are pissed at me for the cliffy. But it was so fun to write! I was so happy when I got my reviews! I didn't realize you guys would be THAT upset. I mean, I received a review where someone threw her shoe at me
(Cough, cough, lovelymiko, cough, cough.) Lol. Anyway, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. Please, don't make me say that again.
"Kagome you're-- " Inuyasha took a deep breath. "Kagome, you're pregnant."
Time stopped. Sango looked hurt and Miroku watched Kagome's reaction, knowing that it was also hurting Inuyasha. Kaede excused herself, taking Shippo with her. Now, everyone's eyes were on Kagome.
Kagome started crying. To everyone around her, they were tears of sorrow. But she was not upset. She was not going to have this hanyou be hated because of its father.
Kagome went to bed early that night. She slept in a corner, far away from the fire. Sango had Kirara sleep next to her in her big form in order to help Kagome stay warm. Outside the rain fell, as if the heavens were crying. Everyone was silent and no one said a word.
Inuyasha left the hut and sat in his tree despite the rain. Everyone in the hut could tell that he was hurt about Kagome having Kouga's child. The tension in the hut was growing, like a bomb that could go off at any second.
Sango couldn't take the silence anymore and she also left the hut. Miroku started to follow for fear that she would get sick, but he left her alone.
Once outside, Sango found Inuyasha. He leapt from his tree and on to the ground. Even though Inuyasha wasn't wearing his pissed off face, Sango was a little wary of him. "Inuyasha," she asked tentatively. "How long does Kagome have? Till it's born, I mean?"
Inuyasha was quite for a moment. "Nine weeks," he said flatly. "We'll stay here until it's born. I'm not putting her in any danger."
Sango nodded and sneezed. He cast her a look over his shoulder. "You better get inside before you get sick."
She nodded and said, "She'll need you tonight." And she walked away.
He stared after her and watched her enter the hut. "Kagome needs her mom more than me," he thought.
Inuyasha walked into the hut. Everyone was sleeping. Shippo was sleeping with Sango tonight because he knew to leave Kagome alone. They were by the fire and Kagome was in her corner. Miroku slept sitting up, his staff ready if something should happen. Kaede was closest to the door and she had just gotten up to stroke the fire.
Kagome was crying in her sleep and Kirara was attempting to comfort her. Inuyasha walked over to them and Kirara made a movement to leave, but he told her to stay and she did so happily.
Inuyasha put a hand on Kagome's shoulder and rubbed it slightly. Kagome opened her eyes slowly and they relaxed when they saw Inuyasha. She made a very small smile and fell back asleep.
Kirara rearranged herself in a position that made her comfortable and kept Kagome warm. Inuyasha sat down against the wall next to them so he could be near Kagome. Despite he attempts to fight it, sleep was coming. Those days of worrying about Kagome had caught up with him. Sitting near Kagome and Kirara he fell asleep.
Feeling movement around him waked Inuyasha and he felt something in his lap. Tiredly, he opened one eye and looked down. Kagome was in his lap. She was looking at him apologetically, as if apologizing for waking him. Then she made to get up but he grabbed her hand and whispered, "You can stay if you want."
Kagome nodded and stayed where she was. Her head was leaning on his shoulder and her body was pressed up against his. Kagome fell asleep instantly. Inuyasha followed into a comforting sleep.
A.N. There you all go. I told you what Inuyasha was going to tell Kagome and I made a romantic scene. Now, you have no reason to complain. Please review. I hope I can get to 100 reviews soon. Ja Ne!
