InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Decisions ❯ Chapter 22

 

---With Kagome on the other side of the well, November---

 

Kagome sank into the hot springs gratefully after a hard day of training in the snow with Sesshomaru. He had taken her up to the mountains to battle one of his generals who could control ice. He had somehow gotten it into his head that it would be a good idea for her to train in different types of harsh weather. While it might be beneficial at some point in the future, Kagome wasn't very happy with him at the moment and so would never admit it. Her toes were frozen solid within ten minutes and they felt like they were on fire the first few minutes in the hot springs. She felt her hair starting to melt as the steam loosened some of the ice clinging to it. She was going to kill Sesshomaru if she found out some of her hair had broken off in the battle. She may not have the best hair in the world, but she would be damned before she tried to explain to her friends why she was bald. Of course, her grandfather would probably tell them that she had had lice and had to shave it off. Then she would have to kill him too and it would all be Sesshomaru's fault!

 

Kagome felt someone dunk her head underneath the water. She came up sputtering and found herself face-to-face with Sango and glared.

 

Sango held up her hands defensively. “Hey, I was just making sure you weren't asleep. You didn't hear me when I knocked or even when I greeted you as I came in.” Sango took off her robe and settled in the water.

 

Kagome eyed Sango critically as she made herself comfortable. “Sango, have you put on a little weight? I think we need to get you into the training yard more often.” Kagome perked up. “I would be more than happy to give you Sesshomaru for an afternoon.”

 

Sango glared at her. “I am training often enough. The only thing I'm putting on is muscle.”

 

“I don't know, Sango. Now that we aren't moving around all the time it would be awfully easy to get lazy.”

 

Sango's eyebrow twitched. “I am NOT getting lazy!”

 

“And you have been taking a lot of naps lately.” Kagome mused, totally ignoring Sango who was close to breathing fire across from her.

 

“I…AM…NOT…LAZY.”

 

Kagome smiled and reached behind her to grab a box that she had bought before coming back to the past. “I don't know, Sango. Are you sure?”

 

“IAMNOTLAZY!!!!”

 

“You know, I think you're right. You're pregnant.”

 

“KAGOME, I'M NOT LAZY. I'M…pregnant?” she whispered this last word and stared at Kagome in shock.

 

“I'm pretty sure that you are but I brought back a pregnancy test from back in my time. All you have to do is pee on this stick and it will tell you if you are pregnant or not.”

 

Sango stared at Kagome, still in shock. “How can I be pregnant?”

 

“I'm pretty sure that was a rhetorical question. At least, I hope it was because I could have sworn that you knew all about where babies come from.”

 

Sango snapped out of it. “OF COURSE I KNOW WHERE BABIES COME FROM! DO YOU THINK THAT I'M AS STUPID AS INUYASHA?!”

 

“That would be the hormones kicking in.”

 

Sango glared. “Kagome, I'm not exactly sure what these `hormones' are, but I know when I'm being insulted.”

 

“I wasn't insulting you. Just stating a fact. Anyway, here is the test.”

 

Sango took the pregnancy test in wonder after giving Kagome one last glare. She looked at it in reverence. “How can this tell if I'm pregnant or not? I know that you have some pretty amazing things in your time, but how can something this small tell if I am pregnant without magic?”

 

Kagome shrugged. “I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think that it has something to do with a chemical reaction with some sort of hormone that you release when you are pregnant.”

 

“That doesn't tell me anything Kagome.”

 

Kagome glared. “Well, don't ask me. I'm the one that missed biology class because I spent so much time here. Chemistry wasn't much better because of all the math. I'm doing good to understand that much.” Kagome sighed. “Just go do the damn test.”

 

Sango shut up and did as Kagome said. “Now what?”

 

“We get back in the hot springs and wait. It should be ready in a few minutes.”

 

They continued their bath, or at least tried to. Sango just sat there and stared at the test. Finally, Kagome checked her watch, got up, wrapped herself in a towel and went over to the table where they had left the test. She checked it and smiled. “Congratulations, Sango, you're going to be a mother.” She heard a thump behind her and found Sango passed out a few feet away from her. Luckily she didn't hit her head on anything.

 

Kagome smiled. “Well, she didn't take that as well as I expected.”
