Keeping Secrets Is Futile
Chapter Seven) Confess To Me
It was cold that night. Extremely cold. And it just wasn’t because of the weather. Inuyasha wouldn’t say a word. Not to anyone. Not when Kagome was around. He wouldn’t do it. Not a word.
Kagome had given up and decided to go bathe. She bathed by herself now. Even if Sango knew, she felt somehow by herself. She had gained more weight and was embarrassed by it. Shippo had noticed it a couple days ago and interrupted Kagome’s conversation with Inuyasha. Kagome had glared daggers at the kitsune, telling him it was none of his business she was gaining weight. Like before, she was having terrible mood swings.
Stepping to the river, Kagome undressed and quickly got into the naturally warm water. Since Inuyasha wasn’t speaking to her, she decided to go the hot spring about half a mile away from the village. Farther into Inuyasha’s forest and away from the well.
*~*
“Sango, we need to talk. Now, while Kagome’s gone.” Inuyasha said, sitting cross-legged in front of the exterminator who was cleaning her boomerang bone.
“What is it, Inuyasha?” Sango asked.
“Kagome…um… she…. I noticed something…”
Sango smirked. She’d played along for now. She looked over to the flustered hanyou, “Noticed something?”
“Yeah… she is um.. She hasn’t been…”
“Spit it out Inuyasha!”
“She hasn’t gone into heat in three months…” Inuyasha quickly said, blushing, and looking away.
“Ask her about it!” she stated with false shock.
“No! You ask her! You’re a bitch too!”
“Inuyasha, you noticed it, you ask her. It’ll be embarrassing for the both of you.”
Inuyasha sighed and nodded. He quickly got up and left the hut, going after Kagome.
He completely missed Sango’s knowing smirk.
*~*
Inuyasha had followed her scent to the hot spring in his forest. He hadn’t expected her to be there. He figured she’d stay in the village, where she should be. It was dangerous in his forest without protection. But at least they had privacy. He found her chin-deep in the water against a rock. Her eyes were closed, but he could tell she was anything but relaxed.
With the quietness only he had, he stepped into the water fully clothed to her. He was two feet away from her when she opened her eyes and gave a light squeak of surprise. Inuyasha’s ears twitched, catching the sound. He had never heard her make a sound like that before, and it was slightly surprising. Putting that aside to think about later, Inuyasha leaned in, putting one hand on either side of her face so she couldn’t escape him and waited.
“Jeez, Inuyasha! You freaked me out! What are you doing here? Can’t you wait until I come back?!” Kagome squeaked, trying to inch away from him.
“No, you would’ve run.”
“Wha-”
“I’ve had enough, Kagome. These past three months you’ve been weird. You always smell like me, you seem completely miserable, you talk to Miroku more than anyone else, you were sick for almost two months straight, you’ve gained weight, and… AND… I’ve noticed something else. Something that could only mean one thing…”
Kagome gulped and her body froze completely. Her heart beat sped up and her breath came short.
“You haven’t gone into heat in the past three and a half months. I want an answer now.” his voice was pure dominant. Kagome couldn’t lie and get away with it this time.
So she stalled.
“You… can tell that?” she asked, blushing, and looking away.
Inuyasha was not pleased with her answer. A growl ripped through his throat, “Yes, I can, but that’s not the point! Answer me and stopped stalling!”
Kagome stayed silent for a couple more minutes, trying to get up the courage to tell him the inevitable. She was deathly afraid and wanted an escape. Even more than when they defeated Naraku. Anything was better than this. What she was truly afraid of… was that she would never see him again. That he would banish her to her own time and destroy the well. She was scared… And she cried. She burst into teats and turned away.
With the gentleness even Inuyasha himself didn’t know he had, he gripped her chin and lightly turned her to look at him.
“Kagome…”
“I’m pregnant…”
Silence.
Eerie silence. Nothing. No one. It seemed as if time itself completely stopped in shock of her words. Inuyasha’s hand fell from her chin to his side limply without his knowledge. His brain was still trying to register what she had said. Trying to come up with something else that she could have said. Those two words seemed so… false… so unreal.
Kagome was shaking while tears streamed down her face silently. She was looking anywhere but at the hanyou in front of her.
Inuyasha was still trying to sort out his thoughts. Questions came from every direction. When? How? Who? Why? What was going on?
“What?”
The question barely came out of his mouth. Just a whisper in the wind. Those two words she just spoke didn’t seem possible. He wanted to be sure that was exactly what she said before he said more.
“I… I’m… pregnant.” she whispered again.
Inuyasha growled low in his chest. He wanted an explanation for this one. NO lying this time. He quickly snatched her wrist that was in the water and dragged her to shore. He roughly threw her down on the bank.
“Get dressed.” he growled out and turned away to let her change.
Kagome continued to sob as she changed, not going unnoticed by Inuyasha himself. But she lied to him! Straight to his face! This was pretty damn important! He would need to know this right away! When was she planning on telling him?! When she was in labor?!
When he turned around, she had just finished tying her kimono. He quickly got a hold on her wrist again, but this time more gently, going against the anger in his eyes and body language. Then he turned and led her away from the village and the well, farther into his forest.
Somewhere where they could be alone.

So, that’s it! What did you think of the chapter?! Was it good?! Sorry for the cliffy, but I couldn’t resist! I hope you all enjoyed the chapters! Now onto to the reviews!
Thank you!

Ms. Mug -I agree completely! He should be concerned and worried, but when has Inuyasha ever voiced his concern? He keeps it locked away inside him, trying to tell himself that he doesn’t care! He really is and idiot, but that’s why we love him, ne?

Kagome looked to the ground again and once again started to cry. ’He hates me…’ They turned, shocked to see Sesshomaru staring back at them with emotionless eyes. “I need to speak to the pregnant miko.” “If you don’t die in 500 hundred years you’ll be there too.”
Yep, Sess is in the next chapter.
