Chapter Two
I climb up out of the well and I feel a light breeze lift my hair up off the back of my neck. The air is so much cleaner here. I feel like all my worries could be blown away with the wind.
I twirl in the sunlight one last time before I start to make my way down the path toward the village. I begin to wonder how InuYasha will take the news, but then a wave of nausea washes over me and I make a dash for the bushes.
When I finish empting my stomach, I hike the rest of the way to the village. Many villagers greet me as I walk by. I am one of their protectors. They need a protector know that Kaede is getting older.
When I reach Kaede’s hut, I walk in and find everyone sitting around talking. Everyone, but InuYasha.
“Kagome!” Shippo yells as he launches himself into my arms and I wince. I hadn’t realized how tender my breasts had gotten. “What’s the matter Kagome?”
I smile at him in my arms. “Nothing Shippo. I’m fine.” I glance around the hut again to make sure InuYasha isn’t in here. “Have any of you seen InuYasha?”
“He left not too long ago. Said he was tired and was going to take a nap.” Miroku replied. “Probably in one of the trees.”
I nod as I place Shippo on the ground. “Well, I should make sure he knows I’m here.” I tell them as I walk back out of the hut. I make my way toward the tree InuYasha is normally in and when I see the red of his kimono, I can’t help but smile.
“InuYasha!” I call, but all he does is grunts. “Why don’t’ you come down here.” This was it. I’m going to give him the news of his life.
InuYasha gracefully jumps down and lands by my side. “What is it?” he asks and I try with all my might to keep the smile, that was once genuine, on my face.
“Well, InuYasha, I . . .” I trail off as I look into his amber eyes. Eyes that are so deep that I feel like I’ve lost myself. I let out a sigh as I focus myself. “I--”
Suddenly he starts sniffing the air. “I smell dinner.” he says. “This can wait, right? ‘Cause I’m starving.” Then he starts walking to where ever his stomach is leading him.
Yeah it can wait. I tell myself. He looks over his shoulder at me and says, “Well come on! Do you want it to get cold?”
I race after him, dreading what I’m going to have to tell him eventually. When we enter the hut, the smell of the food hits me. It makes my stomach twist and turn. I have to close my eyes and fight to keep it down.
“Kagome?” InuYasha asks and I open my eyes to see him already sitting down with a bowl in his hands.
“Sorry, um . . . I’m not really hungry, so I’m going to go through some of my things to make sure I got everything.” I tell them. The smell is making me want to vomit again, but I don’t want to leave the hut. So I try to concentrate as I go through the things in my bag.
I was just about to sort through the medicine Mom gave me when I experience some pressure below the waist. I stand up and excuse myself to use the rest room.
When I come back inside, everyone looks to be finished. “Kagome,” Sango says, “care to join me at the hot springs?”
Oh what I wouldn’t give to be able to soak my body. I guess I could put off telling InuYasha for just a little longer. “Sure. Let me just grab my things.”
After I grabbed my shampoo and conditioner, I walked with Sango to the hot springs. It wasn’t until after Sango got in that I became self-conscience. What if she could tell? I mean, I’m already having trouble fitting into my regular clothes. What if it’s already noticeable?
“Come on Kagome, the water’s wonderful!” Sango calls to me. So I cautiously take off my clothes, then dash into the water. Sango must have noticed my nervousness. “Kagome, are you alright?”
I look down at the transparent water. Maybe it’d be alright to tell Sango. It’d be nice to have someone to confine in. InuYasha’ll be next to know.
I move my hand through the water and place in on my stomach. “I’m not exactly alright.” I start to say, “I mean, I’m physically alright, but my emotions are driving me up a wall.”
Sango gives me a questionable look. “What’s bugging you, Kagome?”
I look up at her and smile a little bit. “Uh, well, I’m . . . I’m pregnant.” I say, but as soon as I do, I look away.
For a moment all I can hear is the water moving around us, but then I hear Sango say, “You’re what? But how? Who’s is it?”
I bite down on my lower lip. “It’s InuYasha’s.” I tell her and then Sango lets out a squeal.
“Oh my! When did you and InuYasha have to do that?” she asks with surprised smile.
I blush as I tell her about the night when we defeated the boar and how we had had too much sake. “I haven’t told him yet.”
The smile vanishes from Sango’s face. “You mean he doesn’t know?” she says. “Well when do you plan on telling him?”
“Well, I was going to tell him after dinner, but you suggest this. This just sounded so much better than rejection.” I shrink down into the water so that only my nose and up is showing.
“Why would InuYasha reject you?”
I shrug my shoulders. “Because he doesn’t want this.”
When we were finished, we headed back. The sickening feeling in my stomach starts up again when InuYasha walks out of the hut. Sango gives me a reassurance nudge in the side before she walks inside the hut. Leaving me and InuYasha alone.
“Uh InuYasha? Do you have a minute?” I ask and can feel my hands shaking.
He nods. “Yeah sure. What’s up?”
I take a deep breath and then exhale. “I’ve got to tell you something, InuYasha.”
“What’s going on Kagome?” he asks in a worried tone.
I begin to bite on my lower lip again. “I took another test today.”
He arches an eyebrow at me. “So? You take them all the time.” he replies and I nod in agreement.
“Uh huh, but this one was different, InuYasha.” I begin. This is so much harder than I ever thought it’d be. He’s going to reject me. There’s no way he’s going to want this baby.
But what if he does? Another part of me whispers to myself. What if he wants to raise this baby with you? You’ll never know if you don’t tell him.
At that last thought, I let a smile escape. “I passed it.”
“The test?” he asks and I nod again. I can feel tears building behind my eyes.
I take another quick breath. “It was a pregnancy test, InuYasha” I finally tell him. “And I passed it. It was positive.”
I watch for his reaction, but he just stands there looking at me with his mouth ajar. Then his face turns dark. “Who’s is it?” he asks and it’s my turn for my mouth to fall open.
“What do you mean, who’s is it?” I ask right back. “It’s yours.” and I point my finger at him.
“No it’s not.” he says darkly.
What!? Then I voice it out loud. I look over my shoulder to see the others coming out of the hut. Sango must have told them.
“It’s not mine, Kagome.” InuYasha says. “We only did it once. So there’s no way it’s mine.”
This time I don’t try to hold back the tears. “But is! It’s yours!” He throws a look at me as if to tell me ’Yeah, right.’ He doesn’t believe me. What does he think I am, a whore? How can he not believe me? I know the chances of it happening are pretty slim, but . . . it did . . . and he doesn't believe me.
“So, who’s is it really, Kagome?” he asks in the same tone he used before.
I can’t believe this is happening. I thought he might not want it, but I never thought he’d deny that it was his. “You know what InuYasha? You might be in denial about this, but I’m not. I’m pregnant and you’re the father. Now whether or not you want to believe it, that’s up to you.” I say with as much dignity as I can. Although it’s hard with my voice squeaking all over the place. “I can do this without you.”
Then I turn around, walking through the audience we had, and into the hut.
I climb up out of the well and I feel a light breeze lift my hair up off the back of my neck. The air is so much cleaner here. I feel like all my worries could be blown away with the wind.
