Chapter Twelve: Clie

Last Time:

"WHAT!" Sango shrieked. Everyone turned to her. "We are not having twins together! You don't squeeze them out, mister!"

Miroku put his hands up like he was surrendering, and backed away slowly, finally turning and sprinting out the door.

"Sango?" Kagome asked hesitantly.

"Hm?"

"Are you sure you're not already pregnant?"

"…"

Hojo took the items, one in each hand, and looked up at Kagome. He opened his mouth to talk, then closed it. He opened it again and spoke.

"If your-" He held up the pregnancy test. "-then why do you need these?" He held up the pads.

Kagome blushed and talked so quickly that it took Hojo a few extra seconds to decipher what she said.

"You see, the test is for one of my friends, but she doesn't live around her, she lives in a solitary place, yeah solitary! And the pads are just for me!" Kagome clamped a hand over her mouth. What did she just say?

If there was one time in Kagome Higurashi's life where she just wanted to sink into the ground, now was the time.

She dropped the yen on the counter and took her things, grabbing a plastic bag and stuffing them into it while running out of the store.

"Keep the change!" She yelled on her way out.

This Time:

1 Hour Later

"So…how are you feeling?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"Stop asking me that when you know I'm fine," Inuyasha snapped, crossing his arms. "Besides, aren't you tired?"

"Yeah, I am, but I just can't get over it!" Kagome chirped. Then she sighed. She is so lucky… "I mean, Sango's pregnant!"

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and sighed a quiet sigh. He knew that she wanted to have what Sango had, but Inuyasha also knew that she wanted it with him…and only him. I'm just not ready yet…He thought. I mean, kids? Come on. I would NOT be a fatherly figure for my pups. But if Kagome wants them…

Inuyasha tightened his arm that was resting across Kagome's stomach. They were sitting in a tree by Kaede's hut, Kagome in his lap, facing outward. He rested his chin on top of her head while the hand not holding Kagome played with her ebony hair slightly.

So soft… He thought.

He suddenly remembered that he was having a conversation with his girlfriend, and hastily thought of a reply.

"And to think there's gonna be another Miroku around, if they have a boy. If he's anything like his father, he won't make it past the age of five."

Kagome giggled sleepily and turned so her face was buried in Inuyasha's chest. Soon enough, sleep overtook her, with Inuyasha following close behind.

"So," Kagome asked Sango the next day, "What are you going to name it- slash-them?"

Sango snuggled deeper into the hot water and thought for a moment. "If it's a girl…I like that name from your time…Chie Pronounced Chee-eh. And yes, I made it up.)."

Kagome smiled. "That is a very nice name." She thought, then perked up. "Ohh…what if it's a boy?"

"Um…I think I'll let Miroku handle that."

With Inuyasha

Inuyasha was worried.

Kagome and Sango had been gone for over a half hour. How long does it take to take a bath? InuYasha thought, pacing. I can't go and get her…that would be bad.

He jumped into a tree to calm his nerves. His mind wandered from bathing to Kagome to eventually ending up back to if he should ask her to be his mate.

He still couldn't shake off the dream that he had a few nights ago.

Inuyasha's Dream

Kagome and Inuyasha were sitting under a tree, with Kagome's head on his shoulder.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked quietly.

"Hm?" She looked up at him.

"Um…will…Kagome, will you be my mate?"

Kagome sat up full and slapped him hard across his face. When he looked back at her, she was staring at him with disgust.

"K-Kagome?"

"Why," She spat, "Would I ever want to be a mate to a stupid half-breed? I don't even love you!"

Then Kagome stalked off to the well, jumped in, and once on the other side, sealed it.

Forever.

End Dream

Even though it was just a dream, it felt real to Inuyasha. Like what she really felt, but never told him. But if she truly felt that way, he would always think, then why did she tell you, on her own, that she loved you just the way you were?

No, he shouldn't ask her yet.

A half an hour later

Kagome and Sango chatted for a while, heading back to the village. Inuyasha heard them coming and jumped down from his spot in the tree.

After Sango went inside her hut that she was sharing with Miroku, Kagome went to Inuyasha.

"Hey." She said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Why do you always take so long?" He asked into her hair, pulling her close.

"Well, Sango and I had to talk about…" She tried to find a word to cover it all. "…things."

Inuyasha nodded and pulled away so he could see her. "Hey, we have to sleep outside tonight, 'cause the old hag has an extra patient from another village in the hut everyone normally sleeps in." He was squeezed, then led to a large tree.

"How's here?"

"I don't care."

Kagome sighed and sat down against the tree trunk. Inuyasha put his right arm over her shoulders and pulled her close protectively. Kagome closed her eyes as Inuyasha stroked her hair. He took a deep breath and hoped Kagome didn't hear his pounding heart.

"Hey Kagome…"

"Hey Inuyasha…" Kagome mimicked.

Inuyasha smirked. "I love you."

Kagome sat up in a flash. Did he just…?

Inuyasha grinned and waved a hand in front of her face. "Kagome…?"

"I-I love you, too." She pulled Inuyasha close and kissed him deeply.

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru was about twenty feet away. He ran until he saw two familiar faces. As he got closer, he realized that those two figures were… Kagome? And Inuyasha?

He grinned slightly when he noticed that they were kissing. He was glad that his kiss to Kagome had taken the effect he had wanted. At last, they admitted their feelings for each other. Even I, Sesshomaru, was getting slightly annoyed by it, so I simply dissolved a plan. If I kissed the human wench my brother cares for, then that would automatically make him angry, eventually blurting out his true feelings for the girl.

Inuyasha had been too, ahem, busy with Kagome that he didn't notice his brother's scent until he was standing right in front of them. He quickly pulled away from Kagome.

"Well, hello brother and mate."

"Whaddya want, you filthy scum!" Inuyasha yelled, pulling out Tetsusiaga.

Sesshomaru shook his head slightly. So he hadn't asked her yet? "I want nothing, Inuyasha. What are you so violent for?" He smirked slightly. "You seemed perfectly fine being glued to Kagome's lips a second ago."

Inuyasha and Kagome blushed, but Inuyasha covered it up by putting away Tetsusiaga and crossing his arms.

"Don't you remember our little skirmish a week ago?" Inuyasha said gruffly. Even though he knew from Kagome that he wasn't at the park that night, he wanted to make sure.

"A week ago…" Sesshomaru thought about what he had been doing a week ago. "…I was with- oh, never mind that. I was never anywhere near you."

He cannot know about my relationship with Rin. Sesshomaru thought.

"Until next time, brother and almost mate." He said, running back to his castle.
