Chapter 7: A Secret Kept Under Wraps
The past 2 days went by smoothly. Kagome had told everyone that she was fine and her Grandmother was now happy where she was. Actually, she didn't even know where her real Grandmother was. But Kagome assumed she was fine, so it wasn't really another lie.
Everyone was quiet, maybe...too quiet. 'Maybe everyone found out! Oh no! I'm in so much trouble! They knew I lied to them like...a billion times!!!' As Kagome was freaking out, Sango and Miroku were chatting to each other.
"What do you think has gotten into Kagome? I would never have guessed that she would be this...well, not upset as she is, considering her relate just passed on." Sango whispered to the monk.
Miroku nodded, "I'm not sure; I think Kagome has just been pulling our leg." The monk stroked his chin as he thought. "I've noticed that when Kagome is lying, she usually stays away from Inuyasha. And when is the last time you've seen Kagome talk to Inuyasha?"
"Eh..." Sango thought back. "Didn't she sit him the other day?"
"Err...hum, I believe she did...And after that she stomped on his head, I guess they were conversing as Kagome was jumping up and down on his head." Miroku thought hard.
Inuyasha twitched, "I said don't talk about that!!"
Kagome sighed. She's gone through the whole day without talking to Inuyasha about...you know. She was getting nervous. She wanted to tell Inuyasha before he found out on his own and got madder at her than he would regularly. She shook her head, she really needed to get away from all of this again.
Kagome stood up and smiled down at the others, "Everyone, I'm gonna go and relax in the hot springs. No need to come, Sango, you too Shippou. I'll be fine. And no peeking Miroku!"
Everyone blinked and watched Kagome gather her things and walked out of the hut.
"Why can't I come?!" The kitsune squealed.
"I think Kagome wants to be alone right now Shippou." Miroku stated blankly. "She seems to have a lot on her mind...I wonder what she's thinking..." Miroku trailed off, as his hand did. Right towards Sango's behind.
Too bad for him, Sango had already slapped his face before he got another inch closer. Sango sighed and looked up, "Inuyash-...Eh...Where did Inuyasha go?" She looked around.
"Who cares, I can't go!!!" Shippou cried.
"Hmn..." 'I hope you know what you're doing Inuyasha...Girls like Kagome get especially angry when you sneak up on them when they're bathing...' She looked around at the two. The crying Shippou and passed out monk. She sighed in irritation, "Idiots..."
-------------In the Hot Springs-------------
Kagome sighed as she folded her clothes and sat them on the shore. 'I need to tell them soon.' She thought to herself and then wadded into the springs and relaxed.
She walked slowly towards a rock and sat down on the ground. The water was nice and hot, that's why she loved being here in Sengoku. The hot springs were incredible.
Kagome smiled at the thought, but then shook her head no, 'No...the hot springs are just a plus...Inuyasha is the reason I love being here. He is incredible. He's...the father of my child.' With that last thought, Kagome closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the rock. Total relaxation.
Inuyasha peeked over the rocks. 'Good...she's covered.' He turned around, sat down, and leaned back against a rock. He took a deep breath, bracing himself for an oncoming sit when he spoke. "Kagome?..."
His voice was soft, he didn't want to scare her.
Kagome's eyes open when she heard her name called. She looked around cautiously.
"Kagome, no need to worry. It's just me." Inuyasha spoke softly again.
She sighed with relief, "What are you doing? Sneaking up on me like that!"
"What's bugging you? Your scent is changing every minute. I can't tell when you're happy or mad. Tell me what's wrong."
Kagome looked over to a pile of rocks. She smiled a bit when she saw a pair of white doggie ears poking up behind one of the rocks. She relaxed and looked down at the water. "Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I've just been...thinking a lot."
"Don't hurt yourself." Inuyasha snickered.
"Eh...hmn..." Kagome smiled. She liked it when Inuyasha was calm and humorous around her. She would rather have a funny hanyou then an angry one. "I should say the same."
"Feh." Inuyasha moved around and sat Indian style, looking down at his lap. "And also...You're scent has well...matured."
Kagome stared blankly at the water, "Well, that just means that I'm growing up Inuyasha."
"Feh..."
Kagome just smiled. She liked this alone time with Inuyasha. She had so many secrets she wanted to tell him, but dared not to. Ya know, the kind of secrets guy's shouldn't know, either that or they already knew it. She looked up towards the rock Inuyasha was sitting behind. "I'm gonna get out, so don't you dare peek."
Inuyasha blushed slightly but rolled his eyes, "Trust me, I won't."
She rolled her eyes, wondering if he said that the night they were drunk. Probably not. She stepped out of the hot springs and quickly got changed, putting on a clean uniform. "Okay." She said as she grabbed her brush and began to brush our her damp hair.
Hearing she was done, Inuyasha stood up and turned around to face her. He sat down on the rock he had been sitting behind and watched her.
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha and smiled a bit. She gathered her stuff and sat down on a rock near by him. She looked up at him, then cleared her throat. "Uhm...Inuyasha?"
"What?" He looked up at her.
"Uhh...would you ever want......pups?"
