Two Hearts

Chapter 3

Kikyou didn't sleep that night, she spent the whole night crying and thinking of what to do next. She was pregnant. The results were quite obvious. At first she just sobbed, and she sobbed for hours non-stop. Afterwards she got a grip on herself. Then she thought back to Naraku's words. She had 3 days to come up with an answer. Today was Friday; 3 days later would be Monday. But this weekend Inuyasha was visiting his grandmother Kaede, she wouldn't get to see him again until Monday when she needed to answer Naraku. The thought made her start to cry again. 'Why? Why me? Of all people…' she thought to herself miserably. Suddenly her cell-phone rang. Kikyou picked it up and looked at the caller. It was Inuyasha. Kikyou cleared her throat and tried to make herself sound normal as she flipped open the phone.

"Hey, Kikyou, what took you so long to answer?" Inuyasha's voice asked her across the phone. Just hearing his voice made Kikyou want to burst into tears again but she held herself.

"Sorry, uh, I was in the bathroom," Kikyou replied hastily.

"Oh, sorry for interrupting then," Inuyasha said.

"So, um, why'd you call? Is something up?" Kikyou asked him, trying to sound cheerful.

"No, nothings wrong. I just missed you so I decided to give you a call," Inuyasha told her.

"Oh, well, how's your grandmother?" Kikyou asked.

"She's fine, how are you?" Inuyasha responded. Kikyou wanted to choke on her reply.

"I'm fine, Inuyasha…" Kikyou was interrupted, hearing Inuyasha's grandmother calling him.

"Oh, guess I'd better go. I'll call you again when I can, if not, see you on Monday," Inuyasha said.

"Sure, see you," Kikyou muttered before she heard the click on the other end of the line. Before she knew it, another tear was trickling down the side of Kikyou's face.

That Monday

As Kikyou walked onto school property her immediate band of followers flocked to her side once they caught sight of her. Sango came up to say hello when she noticed Kikyou's eyes were red. Kikyou was a master at make-up and managed to hide it but since Sango and Kikyou had known each other for so long Sango could always tell whenever Kikyou cried, which was on very rare occasions so she knew there was something seriously wrong.

"Kikyou…what's wrong?" Sango asked her quietly. Kikyou looked at Sango for a moment before her eyes dropped to the ground. She shook her head.

"Nothing's wrong, I just didn't get enough sleep last night," Kikyou replied, trying to smile. Sango gave her a look that told her that she didn't believe her but Kikyou's eyes met with hers and pleaded her not to ask any further. Sango sighed and shrugged.

"Well, if there's anything you want to talk about, I'm always there," Sango said.

"I know, thanks Sango," Kikyou responded gratefully.

"Kikyou!" a voice called to her. Kikyou's head snapped up. There was Inuyasha, running towards her, a huge smile plastered on his face. Kikyou felt her vision blur with tears as she thought about what she was going to do to him, but she managed to smile and let Inuyasha embrace her tightly. "I've missed you," he whispered in her ear.

"Me too," she replied quietly. Then Miroku, Koga, Naraku and Kagome all joined up with them. They gave Inuyasha their greetings and started making their usual jokes. None of them noticed the look Naraku gave Kikyou and the sinister smile on his face or the single tear that fell down Kikyou's cheek. Kikyou quickly wiped it away and joined in on their conversation, laughing right along with them at their jokes, doing her best to avoid eye contact with Naraku.

Last period

It was last period. The day had sped by quite quickly. She and Inuyasha both had the same last period class and their desks were also right beside each other. Just then, a piece of paper was thrown on to Kikyou's desk. She looked up to see Inuyasha looking at her. She quickly opened the note and read it.

Hey, what's up with you today? You seem down, is something wrong?

Inuyasha

Kikyou quickly wrote a response and when the teacher wasn't looking tossed it back over to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha, I have something important to tell you. Meet me at the front of the school after class.

Kikyou

Inuyasha made eye contact with Kikyou and nodded his agreement before paying attention back to the stuff Mr. Yamaha was teaching them.

INUYASHA'S POV

'I wonder what Kikyou has to tell me,' Inuyasha thought to himself as he walked towards the school entrance where he had promised to meet Kikyou. By the time he got there, Kikyou was already standing there and looked as if she was somewhere else. That was the way she had been all day and Inuyasha was worried. She barely spoke at all through the entire day. Kikyou turned around to see Inuyasha standing there.

"Inuyasha…" Kikyou started. Inuyasha stood there, waiting for her to continue. "I…don't think we should be together anymore," Kikyou finished. Inuyasha blinked, registering what she had just said. Suddenly he burst into flames of anger.

"WHY?" he yelled at her. He was too angry to notice the pain in Kikyou's eyes. "There's someone else isn't there?"

Kikyou looked up at him and thought for a moment. If she said there was someone else, it would make her look like a cheater but would save Inuyasha some pain. If she said there wasn't anybody else, Inuyasha would never rest, she knew him all too well and he could eventually find out what happened. She didn't want him to know. Through tears she forced herself to nod her head. "There's someone else Inuyasha…" she said.

"Who is it? Tell me Kikyou," Inuyasha demanded while shaking her shoulders. Kikyou looked away from him again.

"Naraku…" she whispered. And with that she pushed his arms off of her and ran. She ran until she couldn't run anymore, leaving Inuyasha standing at the school entrance, gaping, and staring after her.
