Beautiful Curse AvDevjyp
Chapter Two
Kagome woke up with the sun shinning on her face. The warmth of her bed. She sighed, then thought about what happened the day before. 'No, why? Why me?' She turned over in her bed. Her eyes widened at the sight before her.
InuYasha was leaning against her wall. His eyes closed, and his chest rising and falling rythmatically. He was sleeping. 'What's he doing here? I thought he went back.' He pushed some of his hair away from his face. It went right back into place. She smiled. 'He's not that bad. And he's been nicer then usual to me, hell, he's been nice to me. But I didn't tell anyone from the past that I was raped. I didn't tell anyone 'cept my mom.'
She sighed again, this time louder. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Sorry, I'll get out."
"What? Why? I didn't ask you to leave," she said in a wisper. He heard her fine.
"You don't like me in your room, remember?" InuYasha stood up and started to the window. He shifted his clothes a little and got onto the windowsell. He turned around. "Are you going to tell us what is wrong?"
"I...guess I'll have to. I'll be down the well in an hour," she said, forgetting he didn't know what an hour was. He shrugged and jumped down. She sat up and went to get some breakfast.
Half hour later she was throwing up again. 'Won't I ever be able to hold anything down again!?'

He waited patiently. He finally heard the young girl in the well beside him. He waited for her to climb out. 'Be yourself. Be yourself.' he chanted in his mind.
She poked her head out. "InuYasha, help me carry this." She said as she tried to pull her heavy backpack out. He reached in the well and grabbed it easily. "Thanks." She seemed happy to him, but he could smell the sorrow under her facade.
They walked in silence, "Aren't you going to yell at me?"
"Why should I?" InuYasha asked with his usual attitude.
"Because I...I...uh, was sick?" she didn't know how to explain it to him. She knew he was acting differently, as if he knew.
"You can't help getting sick, wench," he added the name in there to make him sound normal. But deep down he never wanted to call her another mean name ever again.
"Oooo, SIT!" she yelled. Kagome walked away from the now 'sat' InuYasha.
He picked his head up from the ground, "What was that for?!"
She stopped. "I...don't know." Her eyes filled up with tears and she ran away from him. He, of course, had no idea what was going on with her.
He stayed where he was for a minute, then ran after her. He never wanted to catch her, just make sure she made it to Kaede's hut alright. He saw her enter it, and went in himself. She wasn't crying anymore. Sango was hugging her and they were talking. She was saying something about being sorry for worrying them.
"Are you ok now?" Sango asked.
"Maybe," Kagome answered.
"Kagome, do you want to talk about it?" Kaede asked.
"With girls only," Kagome answered in a quiet voice.
"Miroku, Shippo, InuYasha, leave please," Kaede instructed the boys. "I need you to go and look in on one of my patients. He's in the last hut on the east side."
Miroku nodded and grabbed Shippo, who didn't want to leave Kagome. InuYasha grumbled something and ran out the door. They all thought he went into the forest, like he always does.
Once the boys were gone, Kagome sat down on a mat. She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. "I'm gonna be sick for a while."
"How long?" Sango asked. Then saw it was the wrong question to ask as Kagome's eyes filled with new tears.
"A while," Kagome answered. She used her hands to brush the tears away.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Keade sat down on the mat next to her.
Kagome told them about her being raped. "And now I...I'm...I'm..." she started to cry harder. She couldn't tell them, but she knew she had to. She knew she had to because she couldn't look for the shards anymore after...
"Kagome?" Sango held the weeping girl, "It's ok. Everything will be ok."
"No, it won't because, I'm...pregnant," Kagome cried harder then she ever had in her entire life.

Of course, he didn't leave into the forest. He wanted to know, just as much as anyone, why the miko was being the way she was. It wasn't about her being raped, he knew that. InuYasha used his inu hearing to listen in on the girls below him. His feet and hands holding him on the roof with ease.
He heard her start to cry again. He hated it when she cried. He also hated it when he couldn't help her. His mind wanted to kill the bastard who had taken her away from being pure. Deep down, he knew, that she would love to see the guy tortured. Even her lovely mind must have wanted the guy hurt.
"No, it won't because, I'm...pregnant," he heard her say. Then she started to cry more.
'What more could the poor human go through?' he asked himself. He lept off the roof and bounded into the forest named after him.

She breathed in the sweet smell of the forest. She loved the wide open spaces, when she knew that her friends would keep her from harm, from... 'No! I won't think about that!' she scolded herself.
She saw, happily, as InuYasha leaped from tree to tree. She remembered the conversation she had with her friend, Sango the night before.
"He won't understand! I have to find those shards for him. He probably won't care, and will tell me to find the jewel shards until I'm done having the child! Then he will probably tell me to leave the little bastard child with my mother!" she had gotten angry when Sango had told her to go home. That the shards would be found without her.
Sango, on her part, kept calm, "Kagome. Breath, he won't think any of that. If you want to come jewel hunting, until he actually finds out, then all right. I can't stop you."
"Sorry I yelled. And thanks."
Now she was sitting on Kirara, told by Sango, and watching as Miroku tried to touch Sango and getting hit. InuYasha yelling at them to hurry, and Shippo sleeping in her arms. 'Everything seems almost normal.' Almost. She knew it would be almost from then on.

"Hello Higuashi residence," Mrs. Higurashi answered the tellephone.
"Hello..."
"Yes?" She was about to hang up. 'Is this a prank call?' she thought.
"Your daughter tasted good."
Her eyes widened. "Who is this?" But all she got was the tone.
