Kagome was beginning to worry. Inuyasha had not come to see her in two weeks. She had wonderful news for him but she hadn't had the chance or the courage to tell him. She looked down at the ring on her right ring finger that Inuyasha had given her the last time they saw each other, promising that he would find a way to be with her forever. She knew he meant it because it was his mother's ring.

"Kagome! Kagome!"

Kagome looked up and saw her friend Sango and her boyfriend for a month now, Miroku.

"Hey guys. What's wrong?"

Kagome had told Sango about Inuyasha's true identity a few months ago because she knew that she could trust her and she knew that Miroku wouldn't be able to keep it a secret for very long.

"Kagome… The princes are getting married! The princes are getting married! It's all over the village!"

"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome… it is being announced all over the villages that a bride has been chosen for both Prince Sesshomaru and Prince Inuyasha." Miroku explained.

"What… but I thought…"

*Back at the Castle*

"Inuyasha, where are you going dear?" Kikyo asked as Inuyasha headed for the door.

"I am going out for a bit… I need to clear my head."

"Alright, honey! Just don't take too long!"

Inuyasha ran towards the village until he ran into Sesshomaru.

"What are you doing here?!"

"I am viewing the village… Is this the one where Kagome is?"

"Yea… I need to talk to her… I need to explain things…"

"Well I think that she already knows about you and Kikyo… I'd be surprised if she didn't."

Inuyasha ran down towards the village and to the pub. He saw Kagome talking to Sango and Miroku. All three looked at him as he walked in.

"Kagome… can we talk?"

Kagome nodded to Miroku and Sango. They nodded back and left Inuyasha and Kagome in the pub alone.

"Kagome…"

"Don't… don't even think of explaining your way out of this one…" Kagome cut him off. "When were you planning on telling me this? You didn't come see me for two weeks and when you do finally show up, you are engaged?!"

"Kagome…"

"No! I don't want to hear it! I should've known that this day was coming! How could I fool myself?! You're a prince! I am a… commoner…"

Inuyasha looked down.

"Just go…" Kagome whispered.

Inuyasha quickly looked up at her. "W-what?!"

"Just go! I don't ever want to see you again! GO! Marry the girl of your dreams! The girl who will rule your kingdom with you! The one who will make you proud to have by your side!" Kagome's voice came down to a whisper. "The one who will bear your children…"

"Kagome…" Inuyasha whispered.

"Kagome?"

Inuyasha and Kagome looked over and saw Kaede standing in the doorway.

"Kaede. Sorry, Yasha here was just leaving." Kagome said as she looked at Inuyasha. "Weren't you?"

Inuyasha turned towards the door. "I'm sorry Kagome… for everything." He said before he walked out.

Kaede looked at Kagome. "Are ye okay?"

Kagome broke down crying. Kaede ran to her side.

"Kagome! Kagome what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry Kaede… I'm so sorry…"

"Ye need not be sorry, child."

"Kaede… Yasha… he is… Prince Inuyasha…"

Kaede was shocked by this news.

"I am sorry, child. This must be really hard for ye to deal with…"

"There's more…"

"Yes?"

"…I'm… pregnant…"
