K, guys I hope you don't mind that I skipped the part with Kagome's time. I just couldn't really come up with anything that she do there. I mean her time seems so boring compared to the feudal era. So sorry again, but she will be going back there soon so don't worry.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Chapter 10: A Walk Home

1 month later

It had been a month since Kagome had gone back to her time, when she was sick, and so far there have been no more signs of Soshi. All of Kagome's and Inuyasha's night were spent together, cuddled up. (A/N: I don't mean together as in LEMONY together! They had only done that once when they mated in chapter 8.) Miroku and Sango had also spent their nights together. Sometimes when they would go to the next hut over and when they came back Inuyasha would stay as far from them as he could. It wasn't that it smelt that bad, it was just the thought that bothered him. He loved how he and Kagome smelt after they mated.

They hadn't searched for the jewel shards in over a month because of the thick snow. Now the snow was clearing up as spring began. They planned on searching for the jewel shards this day and were prepared.

Kagome had just woken up in Inuyasha's arms. He seemed to still be asleep. She held her stomach with one hand, and her mouth with the other as she smelt Kaede roasting fish and steaming the rice only a few feet away from her. Inuyasha and her where sleeping in the upper right hand corner. Miroku and Sango slept in the bottom left, while Shippo and Kirara were off in a slumber in the upper left corner. Kaede was cooking in the middle of the room.

Kagome held her hand tighter over her mouth. She stood up to leave, but felt Inuyasha's arms wrap around her waist. He was still to asleep to pay attention to how much she struggled. He kept his eyes closed.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered not wanted to release any vomit. She continued to try to release herself, but Inuyasha just gave a low growl and pulled her tighter against his chest. "Please..." Kagome again felt the puke rise. She didn't want to scream and wake the others. So she tried to wake him, when he just gave a grunt and continued his snooze, Kagome gave irritated grunt and allowed the tears to spring from her eyes. She really didn't want to get sick on Inuyasha and would hit him if she had to. "Inuyasha..." Kagome cried softly. Kaede was to busy watching the food to here any of it.

Inuyasha sudden flung his eyes open from the smell of salty tears. He herd a few groans and looked down at the girl in his hands.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked in a concerned tone. She was a little surprised to hear him awake. She looked up at him and then jolted out of his grasp and ran out of the hut holding her mouth. Kaede was a bit taken aback by this, as was Inuyasha. He stood up and immediately followed his mate.

Kagome ran straight into the woods and stopped behind a bush allowing herself to fall to her knees and heaved out all that there was. She felt horrible. Then waited a few moments before her stomach began to feel a little better. She clutched it hoping not to release anything more.

"Kagome.." Inuyasha's voice was soft, surprised, and concerned all at once. He stood behind Kagome, not knowing what had caused her this sudden sickness.

"I'm sorry." Kagome said. Inuyasha knelt down beside her.

"Are you sick?" Inuyasha asked, although the answer was obvious.

"I feel a lot better." It was only half true." She stood up and waited for Inuyasha to do the same. "Lets get back." Inuyasha nodded. He didn't know whether he would believe her or not.

When they were a few feet from the hut, Kagome smelt the warmth of the fish and recognized the others voices. They were all awake and eating. She stepped back, much to Inuyasha's disclosure, and ran again. He didn't dawdle before running after her once more. This time she didn't collapse and gag. She just stood there for a moment taking in the fresh air. Since it was the first day of spring, there was still light settings with snow, so the air was some what chilly, but just cause there's snow didn't mean there wasn't grass patched and blooming flowers.

Inuyasha herd Kagome sigh.

"Maybe we should get some herbs from Kaede."

"No, I'm fine... just not hungry. You can go back and eat. I'll be here."

"Like I'd leave you to the demons!" Inuyasha had anger in his tine, that she could even suggest something like that. "We'll go back to your time later and get some of that... stuff that you use when your sick."

"I'm fine, really." Her act didn't fool Inuyasha one bit. He turned around ad began walking back, knowing Kagome would follow. 'Why am I suddenly so sick? Could it be... I mean have missed my cycle? NO! I'm just... be a hypochondriac. Besides what would Inuyasha say to something like that? Would he leave me?' Kagome began to panic and then decided there was no need, she jus kept telling herself she was over reacting, maybe she was.

They entered the village again, but when Inuyasha continued walking to Kaede's she didn't. She had no desire to feel sick again. When Inuyasha realized she wasn't following any more he stopped to face her.

"Kagome?"

"How about we go sit in the tree Inuyasha? We can go back to Kaede's for breakfast a little later, right?"

"Ah... okay." Inuyasha knew she was just getting out of it, but played along for now. She swooped her up and leapt into a high branch in a large tree. He sat on a very thick branch and leaned against the hoof of the tree, pulling Kagome into his chest. She nuzzled her head into his neck and noticed something there that she hadn't before. It was a crescent moon. She lifted away and looked at it closer and then at him.

"What is that Inuyasha?" Kagome asked quizzically. he knew exactly what she was talking about before he even had to look.

"It's my mate mark, you've got one too. Remember when I bit you?" He asked pulling her hair to uncover the crescent, identical moon on her beck. She hadn't noticed it had became that. It was only a bit mark last time she looked at it.

"But how come you have one? I didn't bite you."

"I automatically appeared when yours did. Only the male needs to bite."

"How come it's a moon, before it was only a bite mark?"

"Because that's my symbol, for my bloodline. I come from a family of lords you know? Why do you think Sesshomaru is lord of the western lands, my dad was before him. (A/N: I didn't make that up. Inuyasha really is the lords son and now the lords brother. He would be lord, but Sesshomaru is full demon and the older of the two.)

"I already knew that Inuyasha, it's just I didn't know the moon on Sesshomaru's forehead was some kind of symbol."

"Feh." Kagome smiled and then covered his lips with her own. It was a deep, lustful, loving kiss. Inuyasha was caught up in it. They kept up kissing, only stopping occasionally for a breath.

Inuyasha ran his claws up and down Kagome's hips, she shivered in delight and placed her hands on his chest. He then brought his hands to her breast and squeezed playfully and lightly and got a reaction he didn't expect, Kagome pulled away, with a painful moan.

Why were they hurting, like they had tenderized. That could only be one thing and drove Kagome crazy with fear. Inuyasha looked nothing but surprised at the moment.

"Inuyasha, please take me to my time. There's something I need to do there." Inuyasha 's surprised look became one of disappointment and worry. Why had she rejected him. She noticed the look on his face and kissed him deeply and then released. "Don't worry Inuyasha. There's just something I have to do. I won't need to spend more then day if you don't want me to." His expression totally changed and he wondered why she wanted to go back so suddenly. Before she was telling him she didn't want to go. He grunted giving up trying to figure it out and grabbed Kagome bridal style and rushed to the well.

Kagome's time

Inuyasha hopped out of the well and jumped into Kagome's room through her window. He placed her on the bed and waited for her to say something.

"Um Inuyasha, you can leave now. I won't be long, I promise."

"As if... I'll stay." Inuyasha crossed his arms and sat beside Kagome. She began to get a little nervous. "Your hiding something aren't you?" Inuyasha pointed quiltily at Kagome. She had an anime style sweat drop, drop and put on a big, bright, fake smile, holding up her hands in defense.

"Not at all. I just thought you'd like some time to slay demons. You haven't fought in a month. It's not good to let your rage build."

"I'm not angry, so there's no rage building."

"Ah... well... um."

"I knew it. Now tell me what the hell your hiding!"

"Inuyasha, how about this? I'll tell you later as long as you go back."

"Feh, no chance."

"But Inuyasha."

"No."

"Fine! Stay here for all I care, but I'm leaving. I'll be back in a couple minutes. Tell my mom I went to the store if she asks." Kagome grabbed her purse and left before Inuyasha could say another word. She was wearing a tight baby pink sweater, with a hot pink, flexible skirt that resembled her school uniform skirt. It was almost to hard for him to resist her. Then a thought struck him that if it was hard for him to resist, then wouldn't it be hard for other people as well? No way was he going to let anyone dare touch his Kagome.

Meanwhile

Kagome was walking to the corner store, and made it in no time at all. She slowly ambled through the isles in search of what she had came there for. She walked through the 'womanly' isle and came across what she was looking for. She looked left, right, up, down, and made sure no one was watching her. She grabbed the item and ran to the clerk to pay. She was glad it was a girl. The woman smiled when Kagome put down the item. Kagome blushed as the box was scanned. (A/N: Those of you who don't get it yet, you'll find out soon enough.)

After Kagome paid she stuffed the item into the grocery bag and headed out. She wouldn't be going back to that store for a while. She walked down the street, only about a block of walking left. She sighed that she got that over with and continued walking.

"Hey sexy." Kagome came to halt at the smirk in the voice. It wasn't Inuyasha. She didn't bother to turn around and kept walking. Then she felt someone grasp her arm. She shrieked as the man covered her mouth with his hands and dragged her into a nearby ally way. She struggled. When they were in the ally the man threw Kagome down. She dropped the bag and out came the pregnancy test. The man picked it up and looked at the box.

"So your a whore." he said throwing the box back into the bag and placing it down. "This'll be fun then."

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed with all her might. The man slapped her across the face and then held her chin in his hand.

"Say something else and this will be worse then it already is for you." The man threatened.

"I'll say whatever I want!" Kagome yelled. She glared at him with a death glare as if she would strike him down if he stepped closer, but he didn't seem to get the hint.

"So how many men have you been with." The man smirked. "You look about sixteen, you must be some slut." Kagome hated the words he was saying and knew that she didn't know what to believe. she would be with Inuyasha always. he was the only one she was ever with and him her. "Anyway if your already pregnant then you wont get pregnant from me, will you?" Kagome gasped.

"You won't touch me!" She said. If he even dared Inuyasha would kill him without a second thought, human or not, although he didn't know that. She only hoped Inuyasha would get there soon.

"Oh of course I would." He said he stepped closer to her and grabbed her arms and held them over her head. He grabbed her breast and squeezed. She screamed. Then he covered her mouth. "No one's hear to save you scank." Kagome was on the verge of tears. When he grabbed her breast it hurt so much.

"BASTARD!" Inuyasha screamed as he kicked the man away from Kagome and across the ally way. He had only seen some of it. He entered when he grabbed her breast, but was ready to kill him and needed a second to calm down, but the second didn't help. How dare he touch her. She was HIS, no one else's. Kagome grabbed her bag and ran into his arms crying into his haori. He was wearing a hat, which was the only reason he took so long, he couldn't find the dam thing. He clutched her with one arms and growled and glare at the man who rose from the ally wall.

"How dare you! So that whore it yours?" The man said smirking. He wasn't at all threatened by Inuyasha, yet. Inuyasha growled when he said the world 'whore'.

"I see you want a quick death then, or maybe I should make it slow, so I can watch you squirm." Inuyasha said in an evil tone. Kagome hadn't ever herd him so angry, but wasn't at all afraid, he would never hurt her. "Kagome hold on a minute." Inuyasha whispered into her ear. She nodded and he released her and approached the man who dared to contact his mate.

"Oh so now the freak is going to try and battle me?"

"Who you calling a freak?" Inuyasha asked angrily. The man stood about a foot away from him. He was a few inches taller and about twice as wide, but Inuyasha was not at all afraid, he could easily kill him if he wanted to so soon. he didn't know if Kagome would let him kill the guy, but that was only because of her kind heart. He WAS going to beat the living crap out of the guy, whether he killed him or not, as long as he suffered.

So tell me what'd you think? I'll update soon. I promise. This is the longest chapter I've made so far. It was getting so interesting I just couldn't help it!
