Kaede pulled inuyasha outside the hut. "I will not put this lightly inuyasha, this may not end well." "Whats wrong with it kaede?" Inuyasha asked her, his fear rising. "You heard it inuyasha. There is a problem with the heartbeat. It should not be skipping like this. There is a problem with the childs heart. I cannot say for sure if it will fix itself or the child will be born with problems...or if the child will even survive at all. I'm so sorry inuyasha." She said softly as she started to cry. Inuyasha stared blankly at her for a moment before running off. He mentally yelled at himself as he ran. 'This is all my god damn fault! I cant even take care of my own pup! Im useless. My pup is dying because im just a filthy half-breed! I was not worthy to be with kagome, and now our pup is paying the price.' He stopped in front of the god tree and looked up at it, suddenly yelling "what the hell did i do to deserve this!? What did kagome or the pup do to deserve this!? This isn't fair! Kill me instead you kami bastard!" He slammed his head into the tree over and over again, trying to punish himself for dooming his child. He suddenly stopped, sinking to his knees and sobbing. "Please, please dont take my pup...havent i suffered enough?"
Kagome had came outside when inuyasha ran off, and after a brief explanation from kaede, she ran after him as fast as she was able. She came upon him as he started yelling at the tree. She ran up to him and held him in her arms, trying to soothe him. "Its all my fault kagome...I'm so sorry..." "its not your fault inuyasha! These things just happen! Dont blame yourself for something you cant help! You are not a filthy half-breed i love you inuyasha, i dont care if you're human, hanyou, or demon! All we can do now is hope that the pup will be okay and just keep hoping." She held him closer as his sobs subsided. He placed his hands on her stomach to feel the kicks again that gave him hope. They sat like that for a while, just holding each other, and praying to kami that their child would be alright.
