Sango stared at the
flames. What am I going to do? She
thought looking from the fire to glance at Miroku. He sat beside her watching Inuyasha and
Shippou as they fought over the last of the ramen… before Shippou tricked
Inuyasha and wolfed the rest down.
“Ewe, Inuyasha Kagome smells like you!” He taunted, with the insult still on his
tongue Inuyasha began to chase him.
“You little runt! Get the fuck back here! How dare you
trick me…” Shippou ran behind Sango and grabbed the back of her Kimono for
protection.
“Inuyasha just let it go.
You know he will never let up on you.” She reasoned. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and growled at
Shippou, who walked off to Lady Kaede’s hut with Kirara… Just in case Inuyasha
reconsidered.
“You win this time you shit.” He slumped down beside Miroku and
sighed.
“Inuyasha, what is bothering you?” Miroku probed. Inuyasha looked to him… unmoving staring
threateningly at the monk. “Why don’t
you go and talk to Kagome if it is bothering you so much…”
“Why don’t you stay out of it you fucking monk…” good
idea though Inuyasha thought. He
pulled himself from the log and walked off.
Towards Kagome’s hut. When
everyone had gone, Miroku quietly touched Sango’s hand with his. She gasped in surprise momentarily and looked
at him.
“Mirok…Anata…”
She whispered.
“My dearest Sango, what is the matter? It is apparent that there is something
consuming your thoughts and… well, you can tell me if something is bothering
you.” Sango turned red.
“I know that… it’s just, I mean… I am a bit unsure about
things and… I… I just can’t say right now.
I’m sorry Anata… just trust that in time I will tell you.” Miroku looked confused as she finished
speaking.
“I do my dearest.
And I will… just do not let whatever it may be bother you so… it pains
me to see you worry.” He lowered his
head and reached his arm around her, pulling her to him. She laid her head on his shoulder and closed
her eyes, drifting off to sleep as Miroku wondered what was tearing his dearest
apart… staring absorbedly into the fire.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
For most of the night she stared up at the ceiling
of the hut. A noisy static filled her
head, and she only wished that it would calm.
She became so lost in her thoughts that she hadn’t realized that
Inuyasha had entered the room. He just
stood at the doorway leaning against the frame.
Sensing he was there, she sat up.
“Couldn’t sleep?” She asked knowingly.
“Nah, you either huh?”
“I just… have a lot on my mind.” She scratched her head and shifted her
position, crossing her legs and sitting up straight. He walked over to her and crouched down until
they were at eye level. Kagome bit the
inside of her lip as she stared down at her lap, unable to look into his
eyes. Why are you getting so worried…
you stupid girl? Inuyasha cleared his throat breaking her thoughts.
“You okay Kagome?
Is there… something bothering you?”
He looked so sweet and caring, much different than the way he usually
was. She didn’t quite know what to say
to him.
“I… I’m fine.
Just a lil’ tired is all. I …
that test is really just bothering me. I
haven’t had an opportunity to study… I forgot about it for so long that it just
slipped my mind.” She smiled, happy with her reasoning, and glanced up at him. He smiled back pushing his body from the
crouched position, until he was kneeling in front of her. Inuyasha reached his hands to her lap, lacing
his fingers with hers. She looked at him
steadily watching every detail of his face as he came closer. Kagome’s heart started to race faster with
every inch he inhabited, moving closer and closer until she could feel his
breath. She shut her eyes as his lips
met hers. Inuyasha leaned towards her
more, putting his arms around her waist.
She brought her arms around his neck, bringing one of her hands to his
ears. Kagome could feel a slight growl
form in the back of his throat as she ran her fingers through his hair and
touched his ears. His kiss deepened as
he pressed his weight to her, causing her to fall back on the sleeping
bag. She could feel his hand move up her
torso to her breast. Her eyes flew open
as she remembered the night before and she broke the kiss, pushing his weight
from her.
“I really can’t do this again Inuyasha. Not now, I have too much on my mind.”
“Well, I can take your mind off of all that
bullshit…” He moved closer, but Kagome pressed her hands against his
chest…warning him.
“Don’t make me say it Inuyasha… I don’t want to but
I will…” She gave him a look to implicate what she meant. Inuyasha just back down… or she will sit
you he realized.
“Feh, okay… sorry…if you don’t want to then…we
don’t have to.” He looked so
disappointed and hurt, but he flashed his fangs at her in a half assed smile as
if he were trying to hide it. He stood
and prepared himself to leave. Don’t
let him leave… Kagome thought.
“Wait…!” She
started. He turned back to her, perking
up. “Inuyasha…stay.”
“Huh? You mean it?” She stood from her spot and
walked over to him.
“Please?
Sleep in here …I don’t want to be alone tonight…but I don’t mean
that way…” She hugged him close. He let
out a sigh and embraced her as well, engulfing her tiny body within the red
Fire-rat kimono.
“Sure Kagome, I can stay.” She released her hold and grabbed his hand,
leading him to the sleeping bag. She sat
and gradually laid herself down on her side.
He sat too but just stared at her.
Kagome noticed.
“Well?”
“Well what?”
“Well are you going to lay down or just stare at
me?” She let out a giggle as she spoke.
“Oh… I guess.”
He knelt to where she lay.
Nervously moving next to her, he laid on his side facing her back. She reached her arm back urging him to place
his arms around her waist. He slipped
her into an embrace that he had before, when they had woken in the cave. He loved holding her in his arms, smelling
her, just being with her. He felt her
sigh as her body relaxed against his.
Kagome closed her eyes taking in a deep breath, she felt safe in his
arms. All her worries seemed to melt
from her mind and she was finally able to fall asleep. Inuyasha closed his eyes as well, and
wondered what she dreamt of… wondered why they didn’t always sleep this
way. It was so peaceful. Inuyasha floated off to his dreams thinking
only of Kagome…knowing that somewhere along the way, things had definitely
changed between them… that there was no turning back … and he loved that idea…
the possibility of loving her for the rest of his life, having pups with her that
thought had certainly never crossed his mind before … pups… heh … He
thought. Funny thing was though… that he
would do anything for that… for her.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
“What are they doing?”
Shippou’s high-pitched voice questioned Sango.
“Um… ehehhehehe, Shippou… why don’t you um… go find Lady
Kaede.” Miroku told the little kitsune
cub. Shippou shrugged it off and
scampered to find the old woman. Sango
looked at Miroku with wide eyes.
“Should we … wake them?
Or do we just… walk away and um… pretend we never saw?” Sango looked down at them as she finished her
question. Kagome never looked more
peaceful in her opinion and Inuyasha… is that a smile across his face?
Sango giggled, a little too loud and Inuyasha’s ear twitched. Clamping her hand to her mouth fast, Sango
blushed.
“Sango?” A groggy
Kagome mumbled, turning over to her back.
Inuyasha’s head was rested on Kagome’s shoulder. He was snoring considerably and drooling a
tiny bit on her blouse. “Sango!” She
popped up knocking Inuyasha’s head with her shoulder significantly hard. His head rag dolled and hit the floor.
“Owww…” He moaned softly.
He lifted himself up wiping his mouth with his hand and closing his eyes
he shook the sleep from them. “Ugh… that
hurt.” He stated before even realizing
that Miroku and Sango were standing over them.
Kagome shook Inuyasha’s arm causing him to look up.
“What’s going on you two?” Miroku asked with confusion as
Sango bit her lips together and looked around the room, trying to contain her
laughter. Kagome and Inuyasha were both
red.
“Nothing… neh… we were just… asleep! Whadaya mean??” He stammered.
“Never mind I suppose, it’s just that… Inuyasha… that
looked a bit…” He paused threatening to not finish.
“Looked a bit what monk?”
His embarrassment turned to an angry tone.
“Intimate Inuyasha…”
“Ahh! No no no no
Miroku you have it wrong we… we… we weren’t doing anything!” Kagome wanted to
die of humiliation she looked to Sango for support. Sango sent her a sympathetic look as she
reached out to Miroku’s arm.
“Anata, just… leave them be… whatever happened happe
–”
“NOTHING HAPPENED!”
Inuyasha jumped up defensively speaking.
“Wait… did you just call Miroku… Anata? That was some look Sango! Ah hah hah hah hah
I see I see, the question isn’t what happened here its…”
“SIT BOY!” Kagome said in Sango’s defense.
**WHAMMPSHHH**
“Kagome! Whad did ya do that for!” He cried as he lifted
himself from the floor.
“Let’s go.
Inuyasha needs some time to think about saying things he doesn’t know
anything about. Help me get things ready
to get home Sango.”
“Wait… I have to think about saying things I don’t
know shit about? ME??? What the fuck? He was the one that was trying
to imply that we wer—”
“SIT” Kagome yelled at him as she walked out of the Hut.
**WHAMMPSHHH**
“Tsk Tsk Tsk… Inuyasha will you ever learn?” Miroku laughed as he followed the women out.
“Grrr… will you?
Fucking bastard monk.” He mumbled
under his breath when Miroku left, as he peeled himself from the ground.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Sango lingered behind with Kagome as they walked to the
well.
“Kagome, um… about that thing that I told you…”
“Don’t worry, I wont let anything slip, and I will get
that thing for you… just be patient okay?
I promise I will be back in a week at most. Just sit tight until I can get back.”
“Okay… thank you Kago—”
“Hey you comin’?
We don’t have all day here Kagome!”
Inuyasha barked at her. She
laughed and they both ran to catch up to the guys that were standing near the
well’s mouth.
“So okay, I guess then I will be back in a few days…
Inuyasha… no coming to get me please.” She looked at him with her eyes
squinted, arms crossed.
“Fine! I won’t … I won’t.” He hesitated. And as much as he said it, she knew he
wouldn’t listen… he never did. She
flashed him a smile and said goodbye.
On the other side… she climbed out and into the old
shrine. I am home… time to go to the
store. She thought. She knew she couldn’t say anything to anyone,
but how was she supposed to get a pregnancy kit unnoticed? Maybe I should tell my mother it is for
Sango… but then, what will she think about where I am going… unsupervised all
the time… she would never let me go back.
She knew that her mother would wonder what she was doing home but, she
had to get her cloths cleaned, she needed to discard the bloodied undergarment…
she needed to get supplies.
She wandered from the shrine into the house.
“I’m home everyone!” She yelled out. When she received no reply, Kagome walked up
the stairs to her bathroom. A bath
would be nice about now… she thought.
She ran the water and undressed, filling the tub with bubble bath and
soothing crystals. She was careful to
lock the bathroom door before slipping into the warmed sudsy water.
A half an hour passed by the time she finished with
her bath and had gotten dressed in clean attire. She packed up some clean clothes so that she
would not forget to later, and then walked downstairs. Scanning the house on her way, she realized
that no one had returned home yet. Where
is everyone? She thought. Oh well
I suppose they went out for the day.
She was going to leave a note stating that she was back for the week and
that she had to go out for a while just in case they came back, but she decided
against it. Perhaps I will just get
the test, and go back. Inuyasha won’t
have to worry that way, and Sango won’t have to wait. Making her mind up, Kagome went to the
kitchen to gather some food for her return.
Then, she took some money, and her knapsack then hopped on her bike,
heading downtown… certainly no one would know her there.
When she finally found a pharmacy, she locked her bike up
in front of the store and walked in…carefully and nervously looking around her. She made her way down each aisle examining
the shelves for the kit that she desired.
At last, her eye detected a few of them on one of the shelves. Picking one up, she examined the Kanji,
reading carefully. When she was
satisfied in knowing that she had found one that contained two tests, (just in
case the first one didn’t work. She
didn’t know how to use one of these, Sango certainly didn’t.) and gave simple
results, she made her way to the checker.
“It’s for my neighbor… she couldn’t get to the store at
the moment.” She said uneasy at the
clerk’s odd look. He just nodded and
scanned the test.
“1,000 yen even miss.”
He mumbled to Kagome. She fished
the small coins from her pocket, laying them on the counter in front of the
man. When she was finished purchasing
from the pharmacy, she stuft the box into her knapsack and mounted her
bike. Heading home. There’s step one Kagome… you got them… now
you just have to get back to the shrine and pray that grandfather or mother
don’t see you.
As she drove the bike up the gravel drive, careful
to slip by unnoticed. It was starting to
get dark outside and she knew that they were probably home. To her surprise she actually made it back to
the well, but as she looked into the opening, she decided she couldn’t go back
just yet… she was so unsure herself, perhaps a couple of days was in
order. No Kagome, you need to do
this... and get this over with. Sango is
waiting. Without a second thought, Kagome grabbed her
bag from the basket of the bicycle and leaped into the old well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was surprised to see that Miroku was yet again
slumped along the side of the well when she pulled herself up.
“Kagome! You are
back quite early; I thought that you would at least be gone a day or a week at
most.” He was nervous she could tell…
but why?
“Yea well, I decided that it wasn’t as necessary as I
thought… A friend told me that the test had been canceled and that if I was
still under the weather then, I didn’t have to worry.”
“Under the weather? But Lady Kagome, you’re not sick… are
you?”
“Oh no no no Miroku, ha-ha, my grandfather, has this
silly habit of telling everyone that I have a horrible disease as my
excuses for absence at school.” She set
her knapsack down and slumped against the well beside Miroku. “Why are you here moping all alone?” He just sat quiet. Something was on his mind, she could tell but
she knew that Miroku wasn’t too eager to share all the events of his life with
her or anyone else for that matter.
After all it took him forever to be able to spit out what he truly felt
about Sango.
“Nothing Lady Kagome, nothing to worry yourself with at
present. Did anyone know that you were
coming back tonight?” He turned his
attention away from his hands and turned his head to Kagome.
“Not a soul. I
just figured why not since… I mean, I didn’t have anything to do there and… I
didn’t want Inuyasha or Shippou to get antsy.”
“Yeah, we all know how irritable Inuyasha becomes when you
aren’t here. He was starting to get a
bit angry and annoyed that you were gone, already.” Miroku let out a sigh as
though he had something pressing on his mind, she didn’t pry knowing that he
didn’t have any intentions of telling her anyway; it would only make for an
uncomfortable conversation.
“So…when were you planning on returning to the
village?” She quizzed him.
“I suppose that now is as good a time as any.” Kagome rose, as did he and went for her
bag. Seeing her struggle, Miroku offered
to carry it for her. “If you require
some assistance…” She cut him off with a quick no and snatched her bag from his
reaching hand.
“Really Miroku I am fine.
It isn’t that heavy at all…I can handle it.” She smiled at him. As they began to tread the path back Miroku
grabbed her arm and stopped her.
“Can I ask you something Kagome?” She nodded curiously awaiting his
inquiry. “And I hope you know that by
asking I am not intending to pry but, Inuyasha and you have been acting rather
strange the past day and I was only wondering…what exactly is going on?” She tried to contain her composure but her
flesh betrayed her as her cheeks turned a rosy color.
“Nothing Miroku, we just had some time to talk when we
were in the cave. That’s all, is that
all you wanted to know?” He looked down
at his feet trying to figure out how to ask without sounding too over eager or
suspicious.
“Yes… actually,” He replied looking back up to her. “I’ve
been contemplating asking… since you and Sango are women, and women do talk to
one another… I ponder if maybe … if she has said anything to you about what is bothering her. I know it’s something, but… I can’t quite put
my mind to what exactly could be wrong.”
His eyes were probing… pleading for an answer stricken with worry and
love. Poor guy Kagome thought to herself.
“She is fine Miroku don’t you worry. I promise that it’s nothing to be concerned
about, I guess everyone has been acting a bit crazy as of late.” She flashed
him a sad smile and he chuckled.
“You know Kagome, you are right. Perhaps I am overreacting. Could you do me a favor?” He paused.
“Sure can what do you ask of me?”
“Don’t say anything to Sango about this please. If indeed there truly isn’t anything going on
as you say, well… I would really rather her not know that I was worrying about
nothing.”
“This conversation NEVER happened Miroku. My lips are sealed.” He didn’t understand what ‘lips are sealed’
meant but… he really didn’t understand most of the terminology that Kagome used
so he just waved it off. They continued
walking towards the village.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
“Kagome…” Inuyasha muttered perking up in the tall tree
smelling the air. I smell you Kagome…
I know I do, my nose is not wrong.
He made a landing on the dirt from the tree and carefully took in the
air to be sure of the scent. It was hers
all right… though, there was something different… something he could quite
place… her smell had somehow changed.
His eyes focused the dark path ahead of him until he could make out two
shadows coming towards him. It was
Miroku and Kagome. They came closer and
nearly collided with Inuyasha.
“Kagome, um… you’re back so soon… I thought you were
going to be gone longer?” There was a
tone in his voice that Kagome caught. He
sounded anxious and happy, excited and yet as if he were trying to hide that
with a rude remark.
“Yeah… I didn’t have a test after all… Heh…” She
nervously continued her slow pace towards Kaede’s village.
“You seem a bit angry… are you mad at me?” He scratched at his ears in utter confusion.
“Angry? No… what makes you think such things
Inuyasha?” She turned to him and he
stopped walking.
“Uh guys… I think I am going to go on ahead of you guys
okay? I have to apologize to a certain
woman who could undoubtedly kick my ass.
Pardon the language.” He
snickered and rubbed the back of his neck quickly moving on in front of the
stalled couple.
“You just … you seem mad at me. I’m sorry for acting the way I did when you
left, I kinda felt out of sorts. I kept
sensing that you were nervous about something.
Are you sure you are okay?” His
hand reached out to her, gently sweeping across her arm. His voice seemed softer than it usually had
been, she noticed it had been ever since the night in the cave.
“Just worried, I am however a bit relieved to find I
didn’t have to stay long. I miss you
when I leave.” She paused before quickly adding, “Plus those dumb tests are a pain.” She saw a cocky grin form on his lips.
“You miss me eh?” He grabbed her waist and pulled her
close to him. Kagome just giggled and
playfully nudged him away.
“Don’t let it get to your big head Inuyasha.” He looked at her perturbed in protest and
grabbed at his head.
“It isn’t that big Kagome, what the fuck are you
talking about?” The smile returned to his face knowing that she was simply
trying to pick at him. “I missed you too
though.” They picked up a slow pace and
continued their walk. “Why else do you
think I get so impatient and come through the well to find you?”
“Because you want some more ramen?” she snipped
sarcastically, laughing softly. Finally,
they reached the village only to see Miroku sitting on a log in front of the
embers that used to be a fire. Sango
must still be angry. She thought to
herself, quickly remembering the test in her bag.
“Oh!” she shouted out.
Startling Inuyasha.
“What is it Kagome?”
He asked with worry written on his face.
“Nothing, I just really need to talk to Sango…”
she moved in close to Inuyasha. “Hey,
keep Miroku company, okay? I promise to
tell you what is happening later… I just… I just need you to make sure that we
aren’t disturbed okay?” She whispered
into his ear. He had that confused look
on his face again.
“But Kago—” She cut him off by a mere look… and Inuyasha
nodded in understanding. Walking over to
the monk, sadly slumped on the log.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Kagome slowly pushed the sliding door on the hut
open.
“Sango? Where are
you?” She scanned the room for any signs
of her friend.
“I’m here Kagome.” She paused. “Hey, wait a minute
what are you doing back so soon?” Kagome
moved over to Sango and sat on the wood floor beside her, shoving her hand into
her backpack. She fumbled inside the
sack until she found the box she was looking for. When she pulled it from the bag, Sango moved
closer to examine it. “What’s this?”
“Lets go to the spring okay? I’ll explain everything.” Kagome stood, and walked to the door once
again sliding it open. Following suit,
Sango tailed her friend out to the spring.
After explaining everything to Sango, Kagome started to walk away in
order to give her some privacy.
“Wait… Kagome… would you show me? I am still a bit confused.” She knew that Sango was scared. Kagome knew that she would be getting her period
within the next few days so to calm her slightly, she pulled out the second
test and demonstrated for her; peeing on the stick and setting it aside. When Sango finished taking her test, she laid
hers on the opposite rock as to not get the two confused. They had to wait thirty minutes for the
results.
“So, Sango can I ask you what Miroku did?” She looked up from her hands.
“What do you mean Kagome?”
“Well, he was a bit … out of it when I came back
through. I found him slumped against the
well. So… what did he do this time? I mean… we all know that he probably did something.” Sango looked embarrassed.
“No, heh… um I think… my nerves are just getting to
me. I yelled at him and then just
started ignoring him. I know… he thinks
I am angry with him and… well I don’t want him to think that but, I just… I’m
just so scared!” She threw her arms around Kagome and cried. “What am I going to do if this device you
brought tells me that I am going to have a baby? What will happen with him and I?”
“I'm always here for you Sango… you know that!” She ran her hands through her friend’s hair
trying to calm her down. “Don’t worry
about it okay? Miroku won’t be upset
with you, god girl… if anything he will be excited. He loves you so much.”
“But this is the worst timing Kagome! It’s too dangerous.”
“I know that, but sometimes life doesn’t have the greatest
timing. We just have to adjust our lives
to what happens. Plans normally don’t
play out the way we want them to. But…
Miroku is a great guy, he’s going to love you forever and you know that he
won’t give your child anything less than the unconditional love he has
inside. You know how much he wants to
have children with you. You have to
promise me something Sango… I know it’s going to be hard but, if it’s positive…
meaning if you are pregnant, you must let him know. You can’t hide this just because you don’t
want any special attention.” Sango
looked terrified but shook her head in agreement.
“I promise.” She
wiped her tears from her cheeks with her fist and sniffled. “Is it time yet?” Kagome looked at the watch on her wrist. She grabbed Sango’s arm and pulled her back
to the spring.
“A simple dash means no, and a cross means yes.” Sango walked over to the device and Kagome
walked over to hers to discard it.
Before she reached it, Sango let out a squeal.
“I’m not! Kagome! I’m not going to have a baby!” She was jumping up and down; Kagome had never
seen her friend so relieved and she let out a slight laugh picking up the bogus
test that she had taken. Much to her own
surprise, she glanced down at it to see a plus sign. Kagome froze, dropping the pregnancy test
from her hand; her heart was pounding so loudly she thought it would rip away
from her chest. In a shocked daze, she
lost her balance and fell to the grass.
Sango rushed to her side.
“KAGOME! Are you okay? What happened?” Kagome just sat there, without a word she
pointed to the stick that lay in the grass beside her. Sango picked it up and looked at it, letting
out a gasp. “Oh my god.” She whispered, dropping to her knees as well
and hugging Kagome. Finally, the initial
shock wore down and Kagome was able to find her voice.
