Fragile hearts

Chapter 3

After the small encounter they had had with Kikyo, Inuyasha decided Kagome wouldn't be traveling for a while, which meant for the time being their hunt for Naraku would have to be set on the side lines. After he had told that to Sango and Miroku, they both headed for their own homes promising to return within the week.

"Inuyasha, I really thing you're overreacting." Kagome said as she sat in the hut making stew that Keade had taught her to throw together.

"No, I'm not. You heard her Naraku knows. He wants me to suffer, and he would kill you in order to do that." Inuyasha huffed from the corner of the room.

"Well then at least let me go back to my time." Kagome bargained with him.

"You will, just not yet." Inuyasha told her.

"When? I mean I haven't even told my family yet. I think they have the right to know." Kagome replied.

Inuyasha nodded without speaking. It seemed he wasn't even listening. However, she knew he had heard her. Kagome continued with the stew looking out the window she saw that the sun was setting, and then as if on cue Keade walked into the hut. In her hand was a basket full of herbs. Kagome guessed they were for healing the wounded and sick.

"You're doing a very good job Kagome, the stew smells wonderful." Keade said then looked to Inuyasha.

"What troubles ye Inuyasha?" Keade asked him.

He turned his golden eyes on her and frowned. "Your damn sister."

"Ahh, yes Kikyo seems to be enraged with jealousy. She now knows you will not follow her into hell as you have so promised." Keade replied.

"Yeah well she'll just have to deal with it." Shippo said from behind Kagome.

Kagome patted him on the head and finished the stew. She then took the wooden ladle and scooped some into the bowls for the four who would be staying in the hut that night. Everyone ate and then Kagome, Keade and Shippo fell asleep. However, Inuyasha stayed awake to keep an eye on his soon to be "family". He didn't care if it was Kikyo, if anyone tried to harm Kagome he would kill them end of story.

The next day Kagome and Inuyasha left for the well. Kagome had finally talked him into allowing her to return to tell the family. He only let her go on one condition. He would be going too. She had no problem with the condition, she was actually pleased that he would want to stay in her time with her for that long, as she had already told him they would be there for at least a week. So there they were walking back when a whirlwind came spinning up to them, they both stopped, Inuyasha dropping Kagome's backpack stood in front of her protectively as Koga appeared. Instantly he was by Kagome, holding her hands in his and saying sweet things to her.

"Get away from her." Inuyasha said through his clenched teeth.

Koga spun and looked to Inuyasha who was slowly taking out his sword.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said.

He took his hand away from the hilt and pushed Koga out of the way. "Don't ever touch Kagome again." He spat at the wolf demon.

"I can touch her all I want or have you forgotten that she is my woman." Koga said and then stopped as he looked into Kagome's direction. His eyes lowered to her stomach and then he took a step back. He was silent for a moment as if listening for something.

"Kagome, you're… are you with child?" Koga asked, shocked at the aspect.

Kagome smiled. "Yep!" She said happily.

"What did this filthy mutt force you to do?" He demanded.

"Why you!" Inuyasha yelled about ready to pounce on Koga. Kagome pulled on the red sleeve of his haori to stop him

"Koga, listen…Inuyasha didn't force me." Kagome said quietly. "How did you know anyways? I mean that I was pregnant? And that it was his?"

"I can hear the child's heartbeat, and you smell of him." Koga stated simply, and almost sadly. "I suppose this means you have chosen between us?" Koga asked.

"There never was a choice wolf." Inuyasha said crossing his arms over his chest to keep from going for his sword.

Kagome frowned. "Inuyasha be nice. Yes Koga I have chosen, and unfortunately it wasn't you." Kagome said trying her hardest to reassure him.

Koga nodded and walked over to Kagome again pushing past Inuyasha, taking her hands once more he smiled.

"Well then Kagome, I suppose I should get going. Just know if you ever need any assistance I will always be there." Then he turned to Inuyasha, "If you harm Kagome mutt I will be the last thing you see." He said coldly then he left in his whirlwind again.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and frowned. "You better be planning on taking a bath when we get to your house."

"Why?"

"Because he touched you, and that's disgusting."

Kagome shook her head with a frown and walked the rest of the distance to the well. She waited for Inuyasha, and as he put his arm around her waist, the two of them jumped into the well, the blue light surrounding them.

When they reached the other side Inuyasha took one jump up and they were out of the well and in Kagome's world. Walking out of the well house, Kagome was met with the sight of her grandfather sweeping the porch.

"Kagome, welcome home." He said and then said hello to Inuyasha.

"Hi Grandpa." Kagome waved and smiled.

She walked out into the sunlight and her smile widened. She stretched and yawned. Then she watched as Souta walked up the steps coming home from school. It must had been later then she thought it was.

"Hiya sis." Souta started then looked to see his 'hero' standing next to her. "Inuyasha!" He yelled.

Inuyasha looked at the now teenage boy who had grown to become like a little brother to him and smirked.

"Hi." He said simply. He couldn't believe Souta still acted like such a child.

"Hi Souta, not at Kimiko's today?" Kagome asked and watched as her little brother blushed.

"No, she had to go to a dance recitle, but I am supposed to go watch it tonight." Souta replied.

"Who's Kimiko?" Inuyasha asked Kagome quietly.

"Souta's new girlfriend." Kagome replied as Souta walked into the house loosing his black school uniform.

Inuyasha nodded as if he needed no more of an explanation although he had no idea what Kagome was talking about. He just ignored it and started to walk inside, Kagome followed closely behind him after glancing at the Goshinkobu. Kagome's mom was inside cooking something as the two entered the house.

"Kagome,…Inuyasha. I wasn't expecting to see you so soon." She said with a smile.

"Well we decided it was best if we stayed here for a while." Kagome replied with a smile walking into the kitchen to see what her mother was cooking.

"Oh and why is that?"

"Because, uhh mom…actually I want to tell everyone at once so could you ask everyone into the living room?" Kagome asked her mother.

Looking to her daughter, she nodded and then went to retrieve her father and son. After everyone was gathered and tea was served (her moms idea) Kagome stood at the front of everyone, with Inuyasha safely behind her. He wasn't to sure how they would react to Kagome's announcement.

"Okay, well first off I want you all to promise not to freak out." Kagome said, and then after the nodded continued with her 'news' "I wanted you all to know that there is going to be a new addition to the family, well actually two." Kagome said slowly.

Inuyasha peeked out from behind Kagome's small frame; so far, everything was going well. Well at least that's what it seemed before Kagome said the two words: I'm Pregnant. Inuyasha watched as Kagome's mom dropped her teacup, which was full of steaming hot liquid. This splashed on Souta who stood up in such a rush it knocked over the coffee table, which split the rest of the tea and cookies all over the floor. This made Kagome step back, which she stepped back into Inuyasha who was to busy paying attention to the look of pure hatred on Kagome's grandfathers face to notice which only made him fall backwards into the TV. After all the screaming died out and the tea cleaned up Inuyasha uncovered his ears and came out of the corner.

"Kagome." Her mother said, not sure of how to react. She was happy for her daughter but this was highly unfitting of a young girl of nineteen, to be pregnant without a husband.

"So, is Inuyasha the dad?" Asked Souta.

"Yes." Kagome said, and watched as her grandfather stood up.

He crossed the room and made his way to Inuyasha. The look on his face meant that Inuyasha was about to be yelled at. Kagome knew he liked Inuyasha, she knew that he expected them to be together in the end, however he was also raised in the time where pre-marital relations were seen as shaming the family. Inuyasha took a step back, he knew this was coming, and he knew he would just have to bare it because yelling at Kagome's family was something he knew better then to do. Kagome watched as her grandfather opened his mouth but instead of hearing yelling all he said was.

"You will marry her."

Kagome's eye widened while Inuyasha looked dumbfounded.

"Marry?" Inuyasha questioned.

Kagome sighed and plopped down on the couch. This was going to be one long week…
