InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Keeping Secrets Is Futile ❯ Don't Tell ( Chapter 5 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
A/N: Okay! Here’s chapter five! I hope the wait wasn’t too long! I was going to wait a couple more days, but then I thought about how much I hate it when my favorite authors take forever to update when the last chapter ended bad*cough* ookami-chan *cough* but I also know she has a life and it doesn’t revolve around fan fiction, so I don’t blame her for taking a while to update. I got a couple more reviews but my goal is to at least get 50 by the time I get to chapter 10. I’m half done with the first ten chapters I have written out, and I already have 25 reviews. I was very happy, but then I get discouraged when I see Crystal Echoes reviews… 1000 and some for her…. Not fair…. Anyway, I won’t waist more time.
Okay! On with the fic!
Keeping Secrets Is Futile
Chapter Five) Don’t Tell
“Kagome…?”
Kagome dropped her hands to her sides immediately and turned to the source of the voice. Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open. Of all the people, he was the first to find out?! That didn’t make sense to her, but she was too shocked to care. Miroku. She wiped her eyes quickly and looked away. She was caught!
“M-Miroku…”
“I can’t believe it… I was… RIGHT!” Miroku exclaimed, running over to her and taking her hands in his. “So who’s the lucky guy? Koga? Inuyasha?!”
Kagome looked to the ground. Could she lie to him? Say it was Koga and forget everything? ‘I’m sure Koga wouldn’t mind me saying it was his child…’ No. She couldn’t do that. Inuyasha would know right away. He could always tell when she was lying. “No… It wasn’t… I don’t… know who it is…”
Miroku dropped her hands in shock. She didn’t… Then she must have… Oh kami…His stomach rolled with even the though, but he had to ask, “Kagome… were you… raped?”
“No… I didn’t fight him at all. I think…”
“How did this happen?”
“My friends…” Kagome gulped, “About a month ago, my friends took me out to party… and they got me drunk. All I remember is stopping in the middle of the sidewalk and meeting some guy. I don’t remember what he looked like, but I know he wasn’t human. The all I remember is a hotel lobby and then my mind went blank.” she whispered, trying to remember anything from that night. That and not wanting to wake anyone. Especially Inuyasha.
“Inuyasha will be furious…” was all Miroku could say.
“Please don’t tell him, Miroku!” Kagome begged and grabbed his robes helplessly.
“Kagome, you have to tell him. If he has to figure it out on his own, he’ll be pissed and it won’t help the subject any.”
“I know… I’ll tell him… but not yet! I’m afraid, Miroku! What will he do?! He’ll hate me!” she yelled and started crying against Miroku’s chest.
Miroku hugged the upset girl as she cried, staring into the eyes of the now awake hanyou on the ground. Inuyasha only caught the tail end of the conversation where she started begging Miroku not to say anything to him.
What was with him and his timing?
Inuyasha stared back at Miroku with jealous rage. ‘So she’ll tell the monk, but not me, ne? Nice, Kagome, nice. Does she really care about HIM more than me? I’m the one that protects her! She supposed to trust me!” his mind screamed in all out rage. A snarl erupted from his lips and a growl ripped through him.
Kagome gasped at the sound from the hanyou. Being like this with Miroku was not a good thing. She quickly got out of Miroku’s embrace and turned to the very angry half demon, wiping the tears from her eyes.
“I see you’re better.” Inuyasha spat, glaring at the monk behind her.
Kagome flinched as his jaki heightened and she answered him hesitantly, “Y- Yeah…. I woke up ‘gulp’ felling like I wasn’t even s- sick…”
“Then we should continue looking for more jewel shards and go back to Kaede’s village.” Miroku stated, trying to remind them of what they needed to do.
“Yeah…” Kagome mumbled.
Inuyasha only growled.
Miroku sighed and whispered more to himself, “I’ll wake the others…”
Tension and anger was high in the air as well as Kagome’s fear. She watched Miroku walk away and then turned to Inuyasha. He wouldn’t look at her, so she walked over and knelt down in front of him.
“Inuyasha…” she whispered lox enough just for him to hear.
“……”
“Inuyasha, look at me.”
His eyes traveled up to meet hers. He noticed she seemed to have more weight on her belly, but he chose not to mention it and tossed the thought away. She was probably just eating more than usual. She was still growing.
“I’m sorry, okay? If I hurt you, I’m sorry.” she mumbled, swallowing her pride for the time being. Inuyasha was more important than her own feelings. He could hold a grudge, and she didn’t want that. She didn’t want to deal with him ignoring her when she was looking, and glaring at her when she wasn’t. Even if she did, she would still apologize. I was probably a huge blow to the ego when he saw her with Miroku… she could only imagine what he thought.
“What makes you think you hurt me?”
Inside, Kagome smiled. Outside, she rolled her eyes. It was his way of saying he heard her. He pretended he didn’t care, but Kagome knew he did, otherwise he wouldn’t of said anything. Standing, she pretended to be annoyed, “As long as you heard me, I don’t care what you say.”
“Feh.”
*~*
They found the youkai later that day, and, of course, beat it, gaining two more jewel shards. They then started heading back to Kaede’s village.
At the moment, they were all setting up camp for the night. Inuyasha had gone hunting, Miroku was staring the fire, Sango went to get water with Shippo, and Kirara fell asleep along the trees. She had gotten hurt and Sango made her a potion to heal her, but it also made her drowsy. Kagome was putting down blankets for the group when Miroku spoke.
“So…. When are you going to tell Inuyasha? You can’t lie to him until you’re in labor, you know. And he’ll never let you quit jewel hunting unless you have a very good reason to do so. And I mean, a very good reason.” Miroku continued to work on the fire, his back to Kagome.
“I know… But I’m scared, Miroku! I’m seriously thinking about having you tell him and I’ll jump down the well and hide over there….”
Miroku laughed and continued to work in silence.
When everyone returned, Kagome made dinner for them and they chatted a while. After they cleaned up some, Kagome grabbed her pack and started for the river close by. She didn’t say anything, just left in silence for them to figure out where she was going.
About an hour later, she headed back to camp. They were all sleeping except for Inuyasha, she could fell his amber eyes watching her every move. When she laid down and looked back at him, she was slightly surprised to see pissed off amber eyes. “Inuyasha, what’s wrong?” she sat up to get a closer look.
Inuyasha didn’t respond. He was trying to keep control. His enraged anger had built over the day, and he couldn’t take it anymore. He was jealous, he had to admit(at least to himself) that she told Miroku and he didn’t know. What was wrong with her? Did she just expect him to forget the little embrace this morning? She was his, god dammit! She could not go around hugging other guys! Who knew what else could happen after that?!
And the worst part was that Miroku acted like nothing happened. Like it was normal for Kagome to take comfort in him. Why?! Why was everything going crazy? Was everyone going nuts except for him?!
“Inu-”
“Do you trust Miroku more than me?”
Kagome’s jaw dropped. Was he serious? He had to be. His voice sounded… betrayed.
“Inuyasha… I-”
“Do you trust him more than me, Kagome?” he sounded more pissed this time.
Kagome hesitated before stuttering, “N-No, I just, I…”
Kagome stopped when he jumped off the tree branch and disappeared.
One thing went through her mind.
‘Things are only getting worse…’
*~*
Inuyasha raced through the forest at top speed. ‘She hesitated… she hesitated! Oh, god, I lost her. She loves that perverted monk!’
‘You know that’s not true. She just scared.’
‘WHY?! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER?!’
*~*
Okay! That’s chapter five for you! I hope you liked it! I’m ruining their friendship! BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Don’t worry, he will find out VERY soon. Chapter seven or eight, I believe. Um… I hope you don’t mind the short chapters. In my notebook, these chapters were around 7 or 8 pages long. I’m soo sorry! I happen to love long chapters, so I’ll try to update as much as possible! We have a new computer, so I can now check my spelling! I’m sooooooo sorry for the errors from previous chapters! I fixed them all, I hope. Anyway, I’ll do review responses! Read And Review!
