Keeping Secrets is Futile Chapter 1) High Voltage, Can't Shake the Shock

There was no way in hell this was possible.

That was the first thing that came to Kagome's mind when she finally got the answer to the question she had had for at least two weeks.

Her hand, no, her whole body shook violently, fear consumed her, and she felt like she was going to faint any second now. Realization hit her like a rock would someone's knee. Painfully. Questions entered her mind from every direction when she tried to remember anything about that night a month ago.

It had been Eri's birthday, and all of her old friends had convinced her to go partying with them at the beach. It was all fun until a boy from her old life had invited her to go to a club. Kagome had completely said no to such a thing, knowing Inuyasha would kill her for it if he found out. But, Yumi wouldn't take no for an answer, and dragged her to the club, saying she needed to live a little. Not being able to handle such a thing, Kagome agreed to go. But she guessed that to Yumi that wasn't enough. So every drink she had since she entered the club a month ago, was spiked and mixed to hide the smell and taste. And Kagome, being the kind of girl she is, never noticed until it was too late.

Never trust Yumi when she says to live a little, she thought, her eyes so wide it seemed she would look like Jaken any second now.

The longer she looked at the little object in her hand, the more her memories came back to her. She recalled distantly stopping with her friends in the middle of the side-walk and meeting some guy. She couldn't remember exactly what he looked like, but he wasn't human. They flirted a while, then she remembered the lobby of a hotel, and then sweat.

She finally dropped the little pregnancy test and ran to her room. She grabbed everything in seconds what she would need for her trip through the well, not caring that she was once again missing her school books. School was not important at this point in time. As she packed ramen for the group, realization hit her even harder.

What would Inuyasha say?

Kagome was still shaking as she entered Kaede's village hesitantly.

"Kagome!"

A fur ball flew into her chest and Kagome hugged the kitsune desperately.

"Hi, Shippo!” Kagome greeted, using false cheerfulness as to not get questions for her odd behavior.

Shippo didn't notice, "Is there any candy for me?" he asked with a wag of his tail.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Of course there is, Shippo. But you have to wait until after dinner."

"Oh man..."Shippo said with a sigh as he rubbed his furry head against her chest, and squealed in delight when she started petting him back.

"Oi, what took you so long, wench!" said a very familiar voice as a very familiar hanyou landed in front of her.

"I... had some things... to do..." Kagome whispered as she quickly walked around Inuyasha and to the village, never making eye contact.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her retreating form. He was slightly worried about her pale face and shaky form. And when she didn't retaliate... it wasn't like Kagome. Was she ill? And was that two heartbeats? No. That must have been his imagination. But she was covered in his scent, so he didn't worry too much. He was fine with that. Better his than any other male. Like that stupid Hobo person or... something like that...

"Shippo, why don't you go bug Inuyasha to keep him away. I need to talk to Kaede for a while, okay?" Kagome asked when she walked into the hut.

Shippo immediately jumped from Kagome and ran off to find the hanyou Kagome spoke of.

Kagome sat down in front of Kaede, who was stirring the stew she had made for the group. Kagome fidgeted with the edge of her skirt nervously and waited for Kaede to speak.

"What is it ye need, child?" Kaede asked, "Are ye alright? Did something happen between ye and Inuyasha? You look very pale..."

"I-I'm fine. But I have a few questions that I can't ask anyone else. Especially NOT Inuyasha."

"Ye may ask me anything." said Kaede with a wave of her hand.

"Um... i have this friend...who knows a youkai and really likes him, of course, they've been best friends for years... but her other friends got her drunk and she got pregnant with another guy she doesn't know or remember. How do you expect the youkai she likes will react and what will she do?" Kagome asked, hoping Kaede fell for it.

She didn't.

"My dear child, what has happened to you! Ye cannot call those people friends if they let such a thing happen!" Kaede exclaimed while forgetting about her stew.

"I know... but what should i do?"

"Ye must tell Inuyasha. He can help ye. And you must stop hunting jewel shards. You could hurt the baby. How far along are you?"

"About a month."

"You must stop hunting in about three months. At that point, it will be difficult for you to walk all day."

"I don't think I can tell Inuyasha something like that. I haven't even told my mother!" Kagome yelled more to herself than the old miko in front of her.

Outside, Inuyasha froze. His ears only picking up Kagome's last statement after knocking out Shippo a while back. The kitsune wouldn't lave him alone. But this was a little more important. She couldn't tell him something? Since when? Slinking down to a crouch, he slid along the wall and sat under the window to listen.

Inside, Kaede spoke again.

"Even if you do not tell him yourself, he will figure it out eventually. Having this condition changes your body drastically."

Kagome only sighed.
