Fragile Hearts

Chapter 2

Kagome sat up in a flash; she had been having a strange dream. Looking around she saw that everyone was sleeping now. The stars were shining brightly above her; it was still dark out which meant she still had a few hours of sleep. The trees branches blew in the soft breeze making quiet noises. After dinner, Kagome decided she wanted to wait until morning to tell the group she was expecting. She was about to lay down when she noticed Inuyasha was standing right behind her.

"What's wrong?" He asked kneeling next to her.

"Bad dream, nothing much." Kagome replied her voice still groggy from sleep.

Inuyasha nodded and watched as she laid back down. He took a seat next to her and she smiled.

"You don't have to stay down here." Kagome replied.

"I know."

"Then why are you?"

"Cuz I want to what's the big deal?" He asked getting frustrated.

Kagome just shook her head, and drifted off into another sleep. She began to dream again, this time it wasn't a bad one. When she woke up again she found Inuyasha asleep next to her, and the sun starting to come up. Sitting up she stretched and watched as the hanyou opened one golden eye to look at her.

"How do you wake up so easily?" She asked.

"I don't know, I just do." He answered.

About an hour went by before the rest of the group was up. They ate, then the girls bathed, and when it was just about time to leave Kagome decided it was time for her announcement.

"Hey everyone, I have something to tell you all." Kagome said with a cheerful smile.

The sun was now shining brightly as she stood in the green field. They were close to the scared tree; she decided this would be the perfect place for the announcement.

Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all looked to the young miko.

"What is it Kagome?" Shippo asked her.

"Well, yesterday while I was in my time. I found out some news." Kagome started, she paused to look at everyone then continued. "I just wanted to let you all know, that I am going to have a baby." Kagome finished and watched as Miroku almost fell over, Sango's eyes widened, and Shippo almost died of shock.

"What?" Sango asked.

"I am going to have a baby Sango…you're going to be an aunt." Kagome said.

Miroku got a sheepish smile on his face and walked over to Kagome. "So who is the father?" He asked her.

Kagome blushed at his question and looked down at her feet. She wasn't sure how everyone would react to her telling them that Inuyasha was the father of her unborn child.

"Well Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Is it a man from your time Kagome?" Shippo asked.

Kagome shook her head no.

"Is he from here?" Miroku asked.

"Yes." Kagome simply replied.

She heard Inuyasha sigh and look at the group oddly.

"So Inuyasha, what do you think of all this?" Shippo asked the half-demon.

Inuyasha let his golden eyes lower to the level of Shippo, and he smirked. He watched as Shippo's eyes got big and his face paled. He knew that if Inuyasha didn't have a problem with it, it could only mean one thing.

"ITS YOURS!" Shippo yelled.

The young fox demon had grown up quite a bit in the past two years and now looked to be around the age of nine. Kagome gasped at his comment, as did the other two in their small little group.

"You're joking." Sango said.

"No…" Kagome said.

"And why would she have to joke?" Inuyasha asked angered by his so called friend's reaction to the possibility of him fathering a child.

"It's just…I thought…uhh…" Sango said unsure of how to reply.

"What she means to say is, we didn't even know you had confessed your feelings for each other, let alone did we think you were well creating children." Miroku said putting it in as nice of terms as he could.

At his remark, Inuyasha and Kagome looked to each other. They never did say that they loved each other. They just slept together. Kagome looked down at her feet and Inuyasha looked away from everyone as guilt started to cloud his mind.

"What's wrong?" Shippo asked the two.

"Nothing." Kagome replied as tears reached her eyes.

She couldn't believe he never said that, how could she had even let things get this far when he hadn't said he loved her? She turned her back on the group and let her tears fall rapidly. It was weird, she was crying over such a simple matter. She remembered in health class how they said girls got mood swings when they were pregnant, but she didn't imagine they would start this early.

"I think I should go home." Kagome said and walked away from the group.

Inuyasha looked at Miroku and glared in his direction before going after Kagome.

"Was it something I said?" Miroku asked the group.

Kagome continued to walk in the direction of the well. She didn't know why she was so upset. Sure he never said he loved her, but that didn't mean he didn't did it?

"Kagome." She heard Inuyasha's voice behind her.

She stopped and turned to face him with a smile. Tears still falling from her eyes she looked at him and wiped them away quickly.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha; I don't know what came over me." Kagome said as he neared her.

He shook his head and looked to her, he wanted to tell her, but he didn't know how. He never was the touchy type of person. He knew he was no good at all the romance stuff.

"Listen Kagome, about what Miroku said." Inuyasha started.

"It's okay, I know you never actually said I love you to me. I mean I never said it either right?"

Inuyasha nodded not able to find a verbal response for her.

"So, we both know we love one another right? So we don't need to say it, it's just known." Kagome finished.

"Yeah but." Inuyasha started.

"No, it's really okay you don't have to say it, I know you don't like to say things like that." Kagome replied no longer crying.

Inuyasha shook his head, he had said it to Kikyo before she had pinned him to that tree. So Kagome deserved to hear it. He wanted to tell her, so why wouldn't she let him?

"Hey." He said.

"What?"

"How come you won't let me say I lo…" He started but she put her hand over his mouth and smiled before he could say anything else.

"Don't say it okay?" She asked politely.

He wondered why she didn't want him to say it. He wondered why she was so insistent on just living on with him without his confession.

"Why?" He asked.

She shook her head and closed her eyes. Going back to the dream she had the night before. It had started out as a nice dream; she was standing with him in a clearing. He took her hands and whispered in her ear "I love you" then Naraku killed them both.

"My dream, in my dream you said it then you died." Kagome replied.

He frowned at her. "I don't think that will actually kill me Kagome."

Kagome laughed and nodded opening her eyes.

"Can I say it then?" He asked now, "Or will you sit me?"

"I won't sit you." Kagome said before realizing she had just said the 's' word. "Sorry!" She yelled as she heard him mumbling into the dirt.

After he stood up he glared at her but then shook his head with a sigh. "I may regret this later." He started and watched as Kagome smiled.

"I promise you wont." Kagome said with a smile.

"Fine then I love you." He said quickly and as quietly as possible.

Kagome smiled again and gave him a big hug. Then without warning he leaned his head down just enough to press his lips to hers. He had never actually kissed her before; she was always the one to kiss him. He didn't even remember kissing her while he had been in bed with her. He was always the one being kissed. Either by her or Kikyo, or almost that one time when Sango got drunk. He pulled away and shook his head at that thought.

"That was the first time I ever kissed you first." He said.

Kagome tilted her head. "What about that time in Kaguya's castle?" Kagome asked.

"You kissed me, you started it." Inuyasha said.

Kagome blushed and nodded. She was still getting used to the fact that Inuyasha could actually be considered her boyfriend now. She leaned in against him and closed her eyes as he brought his arms around her. It was then that he looked over to the trees surrounding them. She opened her eyes to be met with the site of the dead priestess.

"So Inuyasha, I see you have turned against me." She said coldly as she walked towards the couple.

Inuyasha started at her not stepping away from Kagome. However, he tightened his hold on her as Kikyo walked closer.

"What do you want Kikyo?" He asked.

"To know why you have chosen my reflection over me." Kikyo said in her cold monotone voice.

Inuyasha watched as Kikyo's soul snatchers surrounded her, giving her an eerie silver like glow. Kagome then pulled away from Inuyasha and looked at her incarnate in the eyes.

"He didn't choose me Kikyo, I chose him." Kagome said.

Kikyo looked to her and pushed her down to the ground with unseen power. Kagome fell to the ground with a thud.

"Don't you touch her Kikyo." Inuyasha said angrily as he held his hand out to Kagome pulling her up by his side and putting a protective arm around her.

"What would you do Inuyasha, if I killed her right here and took back my soul?" Kikyo said with a grim smile.

"I would kill you." He stated coldly.

"I see, you truly have made your choice then." Kikyo said, and then added. "I was there in the shadows when she told you of the child." Kikyo said.

Inuyasha and Kagome both looked at her in surprise. How could they have not sensed her?

"I have also told Naraku." Kikyo went on. "You see, now that he knows Kagome is with child, there is more of a reason to come after you. She won't live long Inuyasha, her or the child within her belly." Kikyo said and then drifted off with her soul stealers.

Kagome fell to her knees, bringing her hands to her face she began to sob. Inuyasha crouched down next to her and pulled her into his arms.

"I would never let her hurt you Kagome, you or our baby." Inuyasha said, now aware that not only was he running out of time to kill Naraku, but he would also have to kill Kikyo as well. Something he was not anticipating.

A/N: Okay well that is the second chapter. Hey, I told you who was in the bushes! Woot! Okay anyways so yeah I am eventually going to kill Kikyo just because I hate her with a freaking passion. I mean I had a boyfriend who meant the world to me and he died in front of me, it sucked but if he ever came back to life, I would kill him as soon as I saw him. Inuyasha is an idiot in that factor…well reviews please or no updates. Until next time rabid fan girls (and maybe some guys probably not though) read well, eat well, live well, and uhh don't fall into any wells cuz they don't actually bring you to the Inuyasha world, believe me I fell down one once it hurts like a bitch…
