Keeping Secrets Is Futile
Chapter Four) Getting Sicker And Sicker
When Kagome woke up the next morning, to put it bluntly, she was sick. Even though she hadn't had a bite of dinner, she had thrown up everything in her stomach. It wasn't one of those 'I have a cough....' kind of sickness, but the full blown thing. She couldn't move, and didn't try to. She was practically green and was looking quite a lot like a drowsy Jaken. At first she tried to hide it, but anyone with eyes could see how sick she was. Shippo had been the first to see her like that and had immediately told Inuyasha. Inuyasha was shocked when he saw her, but hid it well.
Sango and Miroku cast each other worried looks, while Shippo ran to the river to get water for the poor girl. Inuyasha had laid her back down while looking over her body for any sign that she had been poisoned and check her temperature.
"You have a fever..." Inuyasha mumbled more to himself than to the girl who had shooed his hand away from her forehead.
"Inuyasha... it's hot... Why is it so hot this morning...?" Kagome gasped and squeezed her eyes shut as a whole new wave of pain rushed directly to her head. “Ow... Inuyasha! It hurts..."
Inuyasha whimpered in helplessness. There wasn't much he could do.
Sango's eyes widened in realization. She was a girl, she knew what those symptoms meant. 'No. Kagome would've told us if she was pregnant...' But in the back of her mind, doubt settled. It was unusually cold this morning, and why had she all of the sudden gotten so sick? She was fine last night... It didn't make sense!
When Shippo returned, Inuyasha put the cold rag on Kagome's forehead. As Kagome's breathing started to become shorter and she was constantly moaning in pain, Inuyasha's instincts kicked in. He growled at them dangerously and told them to stay away. He attacked anyone who came within 30 feet. Especially Miroku, who he didn't let within 50 feet. He practically stayed ON her, constantly hovering and sniffing her face.
Well, it didn't help much with Kagome constantly calling for him. She seemed to want him around at this point. She wanted to feel protected. And each time she did call for him, Inuyasha would lean his nose into her hair and whisper to her. No one knew what he was saying other than Kagome and Inuyasha himself. But whatever he was saying, really comforted her. She would settle down for at least an hour and then would go back to calling. And it would start again...
Kagome had eventually fallen asleep later that day and Inuyasha still stayed by her, or more precisely, at her head, watching for danger.
Kagome barely moved from that spot for four days. She continued to have a light fever and threw up everything she ate, but she was able to sit up and walked around with help from good old Inuyasha. She could talk to them, but it was hoarse. She tried to sleep as much as possible and only had water, even after Inuyasha got mad at her for not eating anything.
Inuyasha was still just as protective, the only scent on her was his own. He didn't even let Shippo close, but the kitsune understood. He was a youkai too, and knew why Inuyasha was acting this way. Inuyasha didn't want the one he cared about to be seen this way, and would do anything to keep her out of sight from others.
It was now morning on the fifth day, and Kagome was just finally getting better.
Which brought them to a fight.
Kagome was sitting up against a tree, Inuyasha in front of her with a look of stubbornness. Kagome glared at him like she would Naraku.
"Inuyasha, please!" Kagome begged the stupid hanyou.
"No."
"But it's been five days! I have to take a bath!"
"Not without me."
Kagome blushed and looked away a moment, then glared back at the hanyou who was now her enemy in this fight. "Can't I take Sango? She can take care of me! You can hear if I scream, right? Come on, Inuyasha! Please...."
Inuyasha lifted an eyebrow at her, "No."
"Oh, come on, Inuyasha. Kagome and I have some things to talk about. And if it makes you feel better, the spring is only on the other side of these trees. You'll be able to hear us." Sango reasoned, coming close by.
"Feh."
"Sango! That means yes! Hurry! Before he changes his mind!" Kagome cried, lifting her arms for Sango's help.
Sango sighed and grabbed Kagome, hoisting her up from her spot on the ground. She held Kagome around the shoulders and guided her to the river, Inuyasha glaring daggers at the two.
Kagome sat on the bank and took off her shoes and socks. She cast a look behind her to make sure Inuyasha didn't follow, which he didn't, and took off the rest of her clothes. She knew she had to get a miko outfit the next time they went back to the village. The last thing she needed was to have Shippo point out she was getting fat and have everyone find out.
Once Kagome was finally in the water, Sango came up to her.
"Kagome, we need to talk. Girl to girl. You WILL tell me what is going on."
Kagome sighed, "You're starting to sound like Inuyasha..."
"Hey!" Inuyasha shouted from back at the camp.
"There is nothing going on, okay? So just drop it! I’m perfectly fine!"
Sango narrowed her eyes, "Did you meet a guy in your time and took things a little too fast?"
Kagome's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, "Sango!" How did Sango get so close? Did she know?
"Well? Did you?" she persisted.
"Are you kidding? Of course not! I barely ever see Hojo and you expect me to have a boyfriend AND be doing things with him? Yeah right!" Kagome started laughing to cover things up.
Sango sighed, relieved, "Good. Inuyasha would've been pissed. Now, no more excuses, what's going on?"
Kagome shook her head.
"I will find out..." Sango mumbled and went onto washing her hair.
When Sango went under water to get rid of the suds, Kagome confessed,” I know..."
As Kagome slept on later that night, Inuyasha sat above her, thinking for once.
'So we'll find out eventually? Why can't she tell us now? I want an answer now. And if she doesn't tell us soon, i'll beat it out of her! Doesn't she trust any of us?' He sniffed the air gently as the wind changed and more thoughts came to his mind when Kagome's scent touched his nose. 'She never went into heat last moon... Can a female skip? Maybe I missed it. Maybe I missed calculated. And she did spend four days in her era... Bu I can tell two days before... Weird bitch...'
Kagome woke herself up the next morning. She didn't feel sick or hot so she must have recovered.
'Finally!' her mind screamed happily.
As she rose herself to her feet, she didn't feel like she was ever sick.
'What a weird pregnancy.' When she looked around the clearing to see if anyone was awake yet, she found it was still early in the morning and they were all asleep. She very cautiously put her hand to her abdomen. It had gotten tighter recently and she knew she was pregnant. No doubts left in her mind.
'But who's the father? I still can't remember anything other than those bits and pieces. I could be carrying some sleazy old guy's child!'
Her eyes widened as her face paled. She started shaking and fear consumed her whole being. What would Inuyasha think of her? He'd probably hate her... She drew her other hand to her forehead as a lonely tear slipped down her cheek.
And that's how he found her.
Read and Review. I haven't had many reviews and I’m very lonely...
