Hi guys readers, here's a story I worked on 2-3 years ago. I worked on it, but stopped to write other stories and haven't been able to get back to it since. I wrote about a good number of chapters before I stopped, which is actually the most I ever written for a Inuyasha fan fiction. I am going to get back into writing and finishing the story, because it's one of the best fan fiction stories that I believe I have ever written. And I want to see it to the end.

With that said, since it has been years about a year or two since I last wrote nonfiction, please bear with me. It'll take me a while to get back into the groove of writing.

This story is an Naraku x Inuyasha. And if this couple bothers you, don't read.

So despite what you see in the beginning, please hold on.

Disclaimer: I don't Inuyasha, nor the characters. However, I do own this story idea.

White mist engulf the air of the quiet forest, spreading its mist anywhere it pleased. Little water droplets that formed on the leaves and grass of the wet and muggy environment, irregularly fell to the surface of the body of water that surrounded the woody yet wet area. Causing little dripping sounds every time it hit the water.

Drip. Drip. Drip…

Small wave like ripples, appeared on the water with each drops, as the feminine sound of a woman slightly laughing, filled the atmosphere. Then even more and larger ripples appeared on the surface of the water, until something started to rise up from the water. As water fell from the creature as it was rising up, the figure of a young woman appeared from it, standing on the body of water as if was solid ground.

The woman smirked and slightly chuckled as she begun to make her way to land.

Wheels of a bicycle rode in silence as Kagome walked with it on the soil filled path leading them on their current journey. Inuyasha and the rest of the gang trailed behind her with disappointed and unsurprised expressions that were all of their faces, except the half- demon's.

Feeling the heated stares and pressure of the tensed atmosphere on him, Inuyasha growled in annoyance. "If you guys got something to say, say it already instead of keeping it to yourselves!"

Without turning around, Kagome continued walking with her bike besides her and coldly replied, "Why bother when you already know what you did." Saying it as a statement, not a question.

Inuyasha filched at the cold accusing tone of the young miko's voice, but didn't allow it to scare him. "Really Kagome, we're still on this? How many times do I have to tell you that I didn't do anything!" Forming his hand into a fist to show how fed up he was with the problem. "Like what do I gotta do for you to believe me?!"

Stopping, Kagome took a deep breath before turning around and gave the half- demon a deadly glare. "How about not going off and betraying me every now and then!"

"How can I do that when I never even betrayed you!" Inuyasha yelled back the young miko, giving her a glare of his own. Quickly falling into a glaring match between miko and him.

The rest of the group weren't surprised to hear the furious command "SIT!" And the crashed in the ground that soon followed. Kagome stood over the half- demon's fallen figure, giving him one last glare, before huffing as she turned back to resume walking on path.

"You really shouldn't have done that Inuyasha." Sango said in her know it all voice, as she stood over the half-demon's body. "I don't blame her sitting you. You deserved it." The fox demon on the demon slayer's shoulder, nodded in agreement. "You said it."

Growling, Inuyasha lifted his head from the ground, "GRRR, I keep telling you guys that Kikyo and I didn't do anything. She's even dead to begin with!"

"Yet, that hasn't stopped you from going to her." Miroku said in his usual stern voice, deciding to speak up, as he watch his friend pick himself from the ground. "Besides, how many times has Kikyo actually died? This time is no different." The demon slayer besides the monk, nodded in agreement.

"He has a point there, Inuyasha." Sango began. "And besides that, why do you keep going to Kikyo if you know that it bothers Kagome so much."

"Does he even need a reason?" Shippo said, shaking his head in disagreement as he shrugged. "All he cares about is Kikyo, so how poor Kagome feels, doesn't matter to him." Not realizing how irritating his words were to the half- demon.

"Will you guys knock it off and get off my case already!" Inuyasha yelled at the bunch before him, "You guys just talk without knowing anything. The only reason why I went to see Kikyo in the first place is because, I kept having dreams about her! So stop pestering me with something that happened over a week ago!"

"Inuyasha…" The young miko said in a threatening tone, causing the half-demon to flinch in fear, knowing what was to come next. "SIT BOY!"

Giving the fallen half- demon on the ground, a deadly glare, Kagome huffed as she looked away from him, "Let's take a break guys. I'm getting a little tired of walking, how about you guys?"

Miroku, Sango, and Shippo nodded their heads in agreement as each of them mentioned how hungry and tired they were. "Good, I was getting hungry as well." Kagome smiled, "Luckily, I grabbed some stuff from my time for us to eat."

"Mmm!" Shippo said, as he slurped his noodles in pure delight. "This is delicious Kagome, thanks for giving it to me."

"Oh, it's no problem Shippo." Kagome smiled, "It was just wasting space just sitting my bag anyway, and so what better way to use it then to give to somebody else. Besides nobody was going to eat it anyway."

"Yeah, but isn't this Inuyasha's?" Shippo asked, pausing in eating his cup of ramen. "I mean since this is his favorite after all."

"Hmph! Well I don't see his name on it anywhere, do you?" Kagome huffed, as she went back to her own meal. "Anyway, it's none of my business if he eats or not."

Plainly hearing the conversation, since he was sitting next to the fox demon, Inuyasha pursed his lips, wanting to say something but knew if he said anything, he would find himself on the ground until the miko released him. So instead he just huffed and shrugged it off, knowing that the monk's and demon slayer's eyes were on him as well as the fox demon's.

Looking out at the peaceful surrounding area, Inuyasha's ears perked up at the sound of grass rustling. Sniffing the approaching scent, he narrowing his eyes in suspicion, before immediately standing up in his battle stance. "Alright, come on out whoever, you are. Come on out before I force you out. ".

Quickly putting aside their meals, the rest of the group followed the half-demon's example, took the battle stances, and eyed the rustling bush with suspicion.

"So…" Inuyasha said, putting his hand on his sheathed sword. "We're doing this the hard way after all." Quickly drawing out his sword intending to use it on the stranger. That is, until the stranger revealed herself. "K-Kikyo?!"

"Hello, Inuyasha." Kikyo said, as she walked out of her place in the dark woods, "It's nice to meet you again." Giving a small smile at the sight at half-demon.

"But I thought that you died. "Inuyasha said, ignoring the unsurprised looks that his group gave him. "I thought that you were dead." He said softly, as he drew back his sword into its sheath and approached the once dead miko.

Shaking her head, "It hasn't even been a long time since you last seen me, Inuyasha." Kikyo said, as she stood in front the half-demon. "Speaking about the time, I need to talk to you in private about it."

"Alright." Inuyasha calmly complied, "We can talk."

Kikyo nodded, as she started to lead the half- demon into a spot in the forest that wasn't far from where his group was resting.

Kagome glared at Inuyasha's and Kikyo's retreating forms, before she huffed and averted her eyes somewhere else. "It looks like Kikyo is alive and breathing very well."

"I know right, "Sango said, immediately siding with her miko friend, "Contrary to what a certain half-demon said. I wonder what they're going to talk about in there anyway."

"Well whatever they're going to talk about, it better not take almost a whole day like last time." Kagome said, recalling what happened the previous week. "Inuyasha came back late in the evening, last time."

Shippo settled himself on the young miko's shoulder. "But what I'm wondering is how can talking with somebody, take almost a whole day? It's either that they were on a romantic getaway or they must had have some long conversation."

Miroku nodded in agreement, "I see your point Shippo, there's no way that they were talking for that long."

Kagome, catching the hidden meaning in the monk's and the fox demon's conversation, just averted her eyes from the spot where the half demon and the once dead miko, were talking. "You think so? You think Inuyasha would really do that?"

"W-Well I didn't mean it like that. I...I mean since Inuyasha is a man he might…" Miroku paused, quickly flinching at the dark look that the demon slayer shot him. "I-I mean I have faith in our friend, there's no way that he would do that." He assured, hoping that the young miko believed him, even though he didn't believe it his own words.

However, Kagome didn't say anything and just sighed. Waiting for the half-demon to come back out and for the once dead miko to leave so she could give the half-demon the silence treatment accompanied with the multiple 'sits' again. I mean, since he deserved it after all for going to see the once dead miko in the first place.

Perhaps her wish was answered, because immediately sound of Inuyasha's loud voice entered the group's ears, followed by the voice of Kikyo still talking to him. Curious, Kagome and rest decided that they didn't want to sit down and wait anymore and went to go see what all the noise was all about.

"There's just no way that's possible Kikyo!" The group picked up as they approached their destination, "Do you even hear yourself? That doesn't even make any sense!"

"But I'm telling the truth." Came the pleading voice of the once dead miko. "Why don't you believe me? Is that you don't want to? Is it that you don't want to accept responsibility?" Now this definitely caught the gang's attention. What responsibility?

"Alright, what's going on here?" Sango said, as the rest entered the clearing. "What responsibility?"

Tearing his eyes from the once dead miko in front of him, Inuyasha gruffed, "It's nothing that requires your attention. So butt out you guys!"

"When you say it like that, now it requires our attention!" Sango demanded, as the monk besides her nodded. "Now what are you two talking about?"

Irritated, Inuyasha growled as he looked away, "I don't know, ask her. Apparently she claims that I.." Unable to finish the rest as he shook his head in absolute disbelief. "Never mind, she'll tell you."

All eyes fell on the once dead miko, "Kikyo, since Inuyasha doesn't want to tell us what's going on…" Kagome paused, as the half-demon scoffed, "Please tell us what the problem is and what is the responsibility that Inuyasha doesn't want to take care of."

Feeling nervous under the heated stares, Kikyo looked to the side, took a deep breath and then met the awaiting stares of the group. "I was just telling Inuyasha that, I'm pregnant and he's the father of the child that I bear."

Wow, shocker right? Don't worry, this isn't that kind of story. Trust me, I hate that kind of drama.

Please review. The next chapter will be up soon.
