Enjoy and Review!

Feeling nervous under the heated stares, Kikyo looked to the side, took a deep breath and then met the awaiting stares of the group. "I was just telling Inuyasha that, I'm pregnant and he's the father of the child that I bear."

"W-What? Excuse me but what did you just say?" Kagome asked, as she along with the rest her group of friends stared at the older miko incredulously. "Did you just say that you were pregnant and Inuyasha was the father?" The older miko nodded, while Inuyasha just scoffed.

"SIT BOY!" Kagome demanded, not stopping as the half-demon crashed to the ground the first time. "SIT BOY, SIT BOY, SIT BOY!" Saying each word in a strong tone in hopes that the half-demon could crash to the ground harder than usual.

"Hey, are you trying to kill me or something, Kagome?!" Inuyasha yelled, lifting his head from the ground as soon as she stopped. "What did you do that for? Don't tell me you actually believe that lie, do you?" His question was immediately answered, as he soon fell back to the ground with loud crash. "STOP!"

"So is that why you stayed almost the whole day with her, last time?" Kagome asked completed enraged. "Because you were too busy making A BABY?! SIT BOY, SIT BOY, SIT BOY, SIT BOY!" Shrieking the last part, as she took out his shock and rage out on the half-demon. It was so bad, Miroku and Sango both had to stop Kagome, after the half-demon had yelled for her to stop multiple times.

"You better explain yourself now Inuyasha." Miroku told Inuyasha sternly, showing he wasn't in the mood to joke around with the half demon, as he continued to restrain the young time traveling miko.

Getting up from the ground and Inuyasha glared at Kagome, "I was going to do that until Kagome, kept sitting me!" Ticking Kagome off even more as she shot him a deadly look while Miroku said his name in warning. "Anyway, as I was saying before you guys came here, there's just no way that this is true or even possible, because besides the fact that I never even slept with Kikyo before and even when she was alive; the Kikyo I went to visit the time the supposed sex took place, was dead! So there's no way that she's pregnant with my child!"

"Why are you saying this, Inuyasha?" Kikyo said in a voice full of sadness. "Why are you lying? You are the father of my unborn child! What reason do I have to lie about this?"

"I don't know what the reason is, Kikyo." Inuyasha said, narrowing his eyes at her. "But what I do know is that you and I never slept together at all. And you know that!"

"W-Why are you like this?" Kikyo asked, tears pooled in her eyes. "I keep telling you that we did, we did slept together that day. And yet you keep denying it." Tears pooled in her eyes, "Inuyasha, you think as a priestess, that I'm allowed to do that? Just sleep with anyone like that? No, but I did it with you because you were special." Tears slid down her cheeks, as she began to weep in distress. "I- I did it because I love you and I thought that you loved me as well."

Watching the older miko weep, Kagome walked up and wrapped arms full of comfort around the older miko, before staring the half-demon with a look of disgust. "So Kikyo just magically got pregnant by herself, then? Kikyo just came back from the dead and decided to get herself pregnant with your seed? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds Inuyasha? Do you take us for complete fools? Why would Kikyo lie about this, huh?"

"Why would I lie about this, Kagome?" Inuyasha exasperated, trying to prove his innocence. "That's the question that you also need to be asking! I mean, don't you know me? Do I seem like the kind of person who would that?" Kagome didn't say anything to that and continued to give him a cold hard look full of disgust.

"Why don't you just admit what you did and own up to it?" Sango said, her voice reminding the half-demon of her presence. "It's obvious that you did it, so take responsibility for it already Inuyasha."

"What do you mean, 'it's obvious that I did it'?" Inuyasha asked the demon slayer, with the same sharp tone that she used on him. "Did you see me do it, Sango? Is there proof, besides the so called child that Kikyo claims is mine?" He finished, as he glared at her with as much accusation that she was giving him.

Clearing his throat, Miroku reminded both of the demon slayer and the half-demon, of his presence as well as the fox demon's "It seems to me here that all we're doing here is pointing fingers at each other without any actually proof. No-"

"You see?" Inuyasha said, interrupting the monk to sneer at the demon slayer and the two mikos. "No proof. You can't tie me to something that I didn't do, without any proof."

"Miroku, whose side are you on?" Sango asked enraged. "I know that Kikyo is telling the truth because I can sense it. I can sense when people are lying and I know you can to. Besides who continues to plead their innocence with tears while they're lying?"

"As true as that maybe Sango, shouldn't that be the case for Inuyasha as well? According to what I've seen and sensed so far, Inuyasha also isn't lying. Now I'm not on anyone's side here, I'm just curious, how can two people with different sides of the same story, be telling the truth at the same time? I just want to know the truth. No-." Inuyasha interrupted the monk once again, before he could finish.

"If you want to know the truth so badly, then listen to me. I'm the one telling the truth over here, while Kikyo over there is the one lying!" Inuyasha said, glaring at the older miko. "So instead of lying Kikyo, why don't you do us all a favor and just tell the damn truth already!" yelling the last part at the older miko, causing her to weep even louder in the arms of the time traveling miko.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku interjected, shocked at the tone that the half-demon used on the older miko. "I can't believe that you would say that. Even if she is lying, you still have no ground to say things like that! Furthermore, you're not making things any better for yourself!"

Wanting to retort, Inuyasha opened his mouth but quickly closed it as the monk gave him a silent warning.

Turning away from his half-demon friend to face the older miko, Miroku took a deep breath so he could calm himself down. "Kikyo, you said that you're pregnant, but how did you find this out? Who told you?"

Taking a moment to answer, as she tried to stop her tears. "A-A few days after Inuyasha and I had done it, I started to experience some changes with my body." Kikyo said. "And then I went to a village that I saw along the way, and asked their healer to see what the problem was with me."

"And what kind of changes did your body go through?" Miroku asked, "Be specific."

"Excuse me Miroku, but don't sexually harass her in the name of being curious!" Sango interjected, accidentally mistaking the monk's curiosity with his personality. "And don't even try to deny it, because I can see right through you."

"As that may be, I was not harassing lady Kikyo, Sango." Miroku said, holding his hands up as if to prove his innocence. "I just wanted to know what kind of changes that she went through went her body that proves her reason to claim pregnancy."

"Prove her reason to claim pregnancy?" Sango repeated in disbelief, as she scowled and put one hand on her hip, while pointing a finger at the monk in accusation. "So you really don't think that Kikyo is telling the truth? Of course not, since you're on Inuyasha's side after all! "

"How many times do I have to keep on telling you, I'm not on anyone's side, I just want the truth!" Miroku exasperated, as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, "Obviously this is not going to work out, Shippo it looks like we need you." Causing all eyes to turn to the fox demon on the monk's shoulder.

"Huh? What for?" Shippo asked the monk, as he tilted his head in confusion.

Peering at the fox demon on his shoulder through the corner of his eye, Miroku simply told him, "To see if Lady Kikyo is as pregnant as she says she is. Go sniff her abdominal area and tell us what you smell."

Shippo nodded his head, and hopped towards the two mikos, to do what he was told. Upon reaching the older miko, Shippo hopped up on her leg and crawled up to her stomach area and sniffed it.

"Well Shippo, what do you smell?" Miroku asked, as he and along with the rest eagerly waited for the fox demon's answer. "Is lady Kikyo pregnant?"

Pulling back, Shippo blinked a few times before replying, "Although it's barely noticeable, it's there. The sweet smell of pregnancy along with Inuyasha's scent entangled with Kikyo's."

"SIT BOY!" Kagome demanded, watching as the half-demon crashed to the ground immediately. "There's your proof now Inuyasha, there's nothing for you to deny anymore. So why don't you hurry up and apologize to Kikyo for all the pain you caused her, and take responsibility for your child."

Pulling himself up from the ground, Inuyasha growled angrily at the young miko, "That's not gonna happen because, it's not my kid! It's just can't be. It's not possible!" He finished, standing his ground on his belief.

"But Inuyasha, Shippo just said that's it's yours. So why are you still denying it?" Miroku asked.

"It's probably because, he just doesn't want to take care of his own child. "Kagome accused, glaring at the half-demon as she still had her arms around the weeping older miko.

"You said it." Sango agreed, giving Inuyasha a dirty look. "Seeing how irresponsible he is. I swear, men like him are the worst." She finished with a huffed, as she now focused her attention on the weeping miko. "There, there Kikyo. It's alright, everything is going to be ok now."

"Yeah, come with us. We'll take of you." Kagome said, as she began to lead the weep miko away towards where they made camp, with Sango. Leaving the rest behind.

Watching the three women leave, Inuyasha waited until they were out of the area, before he huffed to himself. "Good riddance. I was getting tired of them anyway. Especially Kikyo, I mean just what was she trying to pull claiming that, that child is mine. Right Miroku?" However his question was met with silence.

"Miroku?" Inuyasha repeated the monk name, as he turned around and looked at the monk and the fox demon behind him. And instead of the monk to give him a reply, the monk just gave Inuyasha a long solemn stare, before shaking his head in disapproval, as he began to follow the girls back. Not even acknowledging him, as he passed by the half-demon. Shippo was the same.

Taken back by this, Inuyasha turned around and watched the monk's and fox demon's retreating forms, as a feeling that he knew too well, began to bubble up inside of him. The feeling of abandonment.

"Is everything to your liking Kikyo?" Kagome asked. "Are you feeling alright?"

"Yes. "Kikyo replied with a grateful smile, as she laid in the warm, soft sleeping bag that her reincarnation had given her. "Thank you for taking care of me Kagome. I hope that I won't be too much of a burden on you."

Kagome shook her head as she returned the smile, "Oh it's no problem, really. What are girls for? Besides, I don't mind taking care of you, so don't bother yourself over it, alright?"

Her older look-a like gave her a grateful nod, and bided her goodnight, as she closed her eyes and began to sleep. Still smiling, Kagome bided her goodnight as well, got up and walked over to her sleeping bag to do the same.

Observing the scene before him from a distance, well a safe distance from the reincarnated miko's wrath, Inuyasha watched as Kagome got into her sleep bag, and started her night time routine of bidding everyone goodnight. And wasn't surprised, when he didn't hear his name called.

'Keh, whatever.' Inuyasha thought, as he made himself comfortable on the tree behind him. "I didn't want to talk to her anyway."

Despite the fact that he felt a little sad, that the young miko was not talking to him. It was like he was be punished for something that he didn't do. Which exactly what it was. It wasn't his fault that the older miko was here, she just decided to come here and make a mess of things herself.

'Kikyo…'Inuyasha thought, as he began to reflect on the day's events. 'Just what's going on?'

For the once dead miko to be pregnant, was one thing, but for her to be pregnant with his child was what really had him baffled. How could he be the father of child when he had never even slept with the older miko to begin with? He was still a virgin for gods' sake. Not that he'll ever tell anyone, that is. But for the older miko to keep insisting that he did, and for his scent to be on that unborn child, something had to be up.

'But what?' Inuyasha pondered, trying to come up with explanation that would bring some light on what was going on. 'Why would she do this? What game is she playing?'

Inuyasha tried to think more about it, but he just couldn't get his head around it. 'Damn it!' He thought, ruffling his hair frustration. 'This doesn't make any sense!'

And it really didn't. One thing that Inuyasha was sure of was that Kikyo was dead. And she's been dead for quite a while now, since she died almost a month ago in battle. She was just recovering from the miasma wounds that Kagome had saved her from, when Naraku tracked her down and killed her once again in a similar way.

'Ugh, I still get chills thinking again it.' Inuyasha thought, feeling little cold as he recalled that dreadful day. Seeing her killed like that again, made him feel like he lost piece of his own life as well. In fact, her death that day bothered him so much, that it haunted him in his dreams for a while until he visited the place she was killed at, to pay his respects. That was last week, when he made the mistake of leaving early in the morning, without telling his traveling companions. Which, in turn, caused them to think that Kikyo must had come back to life again and accused him of it when he returned.

That day, the moment Kagome heard him come back, she first gave him the silent treatment before sitting him, for only gods know how long, when all he did was confront her about her behavior towards him. Nobody came to stop her of course. The rest of his group even supported her actions saying, that he had it coming for suddenly leaving them and Kagome like that, without telling them where he went. And then accusing him of actually meeting Kikyo, when all he did was visit her grave. He tried to them the truth, but nobody would believe him.

Inuyasha snorted in annoyance at the memory, but had to admit, that he did over stayed at the older miko's resting place.

Reminiscing golden eyes looked up at the dark yet starry sky, as he recalled that day. For some reason when he arrived at the place where she died, he just lost himself. After paying his respects to the dead miko, he spent most of the time just sitting beside the spot where she drew her last breath, just remembering and reliving all of memories that he had with her. Then the next thing he knew, he stood watch over her grave as soon as he was done with the memories. It's not like he intended for it to happen, it just happened. Yet he didn't regret doing it, for it felt like the right thing to do. He didn't mean to over stay too long. It's just that time passed by so fast, when he finally decided to go back, the sun had already set.

Now he had this mess to take care of. Inuyasha sighed as he laid back against the rough tree bark. 'How is it that nobody believes me? Even before my scent was found on Kikyo's supposed pregnant belly, why didn't they believe me?'

But of course, there was Miroku who stood for him and actually tried to find the truth in the matter, unlike Sango and Kagome who just judged and accused him right on the spot. However, after what the so called proof, the way the monk and the fox demon stared at him, Inuyasha doubted the monk was even on his side anymore. 'If he really was ever on it to begin with, that is.'

Perking his ears up, Inuyasha heard rustling sound of the grass and the sound of footsteps heading somewhere. 'Well what do you know?' Inuyasha thought, as he got up from his resting spot and followed the figure leaving.

As he suspected, it was Miroku who looked like he was lost in thought, as he continued walking further away from the camp. Inuyasha stared at him for a few moments before deciding to talk to him.

"Hey Miroku." Inuyasha called out, approaching the monk who turned around and looked at him, with the same solemn expression that he used on the half-demon earlier. "What troubling you this late at night?"

"It's nothing for you to worry about, Inuyasha." The monk answered him, "I just have problems sleeping."

"Speaking of problems…" Inuyasha began, as he glanced back at the camp, before focusing his attention back on the monk. "I just can't get my mind around this whole Kikyo thing. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense."

As if he expected this, Miroku slightly turned away from his hanyou companion, "Yes, I know. You mentioned this a few times already."

"That because it really doesn't make any sense!" Inuyasha exclaimed, hoping for the monk to understand what he was getting at. "How could've I gotten her pregnant, when I've never even touched her like that? Plus, the last time I saw her alive was when Naraku pierced right through her heart, which was almost a month ago!"

"Then how would you explain the scent that Shippo found on her stomach. It was your scent. How is it that your scent was found mixed with hers where that child forms?" Miroku asked, but he wasn't asking it like he was curious, he was asking it like he already knew the answer. "Tell me Inuyasha, so that I may understand as well."

"I don't know!" Inuyasha exasperated, wishing he knew why himself. "None of this make any sense! Don't you see what I'm talking about, Miroku! Something weird is going on but I don't know what it is!"

Having enough of this, Miroku turned to face the half-demon, "You're right, none of this makes any sense, however when you consider the evidence surround it, it all become pretty clear. After all this was bound to happen, don't you think? "

"W-What are you talking about Miroku?" Inuyasha asked, even though he had already an idea of about where the monk was getting at. "What was bound to happen?"

"You getting lady Kikyo pregnant, of course! I mean, I always knew it was bound to happen but I've always wished against it." Miroku told him. "I bet Kagome thought about it once or even a few times, every time you would go to meet Kikyo. But luckily back then, you weren't stupid and heartless enough to try it, until last week.

I should've known better, I mean we all should've seen it coming when we realized you were gone of almost the whole day! Only buddha knows what time in the morning when you left, then you had the nerve to act like nothing happened when you came back. But that's not the part that get me. What really gets me is that after all of this, you have the audacity to deny everything and refuse to be responsible for what you help create!

I mean, how can you do that Inuyasha? How could you do that to not only Kagome, but Kikyo? The woman who you claimed that you loved, only to heartlessly refuse her especially when she begged and wept for you to help her take care of your child. You even went as far as to even call her a liar. And because of that, I thought that there was a chance that you could be telling the truth and believed you. I honestly wanted to help you, but then when the Shippo smelt your scent mixed with hers on your unborn child…" Miroku narrowed his eyes in a cold hard glare at Inuyasha. "All thoughts and beliefs of you telling the truth, vanished. Along with any respect that I had for you."

Too stunned to believing what he just heard, Inuyasha slowly shook his head at the monk, in shock. "N-No Miroku, listen I…"

"And I must say Inuyasha." Miroku said harshly, not even caring if he interrupted the half-demon. "I'm very disappointed in you."
