Summary: Miroku has really stepped in it this time...
This wasn’t supposed to happen. They had been careful! Sango kept track of her monthly cycle, and he wore those ‘con-dum’ things whenever there was even a chance she could conceive. So how in the world had this happened? Kagome had warned them that no form of contraception was 100% effective, and they knew the risks when they started having sex while their mission to purify the Shikon no Tama and destroy Naraku was still incomplete. But even so, it was a tremendous shock to hear Sango tell him she was pregnant. Well, perhaps ‘tell’ wasn’t the right word; she had more or less yelled it at him, and he was sure the others had heard her loud and clear. He was thoroughly shocked, and in that intelligence-deprived state, his brain supplied to his mouth an instruction to form words of self defense before he could truly consider them and their ramifications.
“Maybe it’s not mine!”
Sango’s hackles rose, then lowered as she took to glowering at him in a way that sent a chill down Miroku’s spine. She seemed dangerously calm, and the forest was silent like the hush before a devastating tsunami.
“And who else might be the father of this child, Houshi-sama?” she demanded in a terrifying monotone.
“Um…” Miroku stammered, his brain finally functioning again. Well, I really stepped in it this time. Might as well have a little fun before Sango kills me. “What about Inuyasha?”
“WHAT?!!!” hanyou and slayer screamed at once, both flushing deep red, though Miroku wasn’t sure whether from embarrassment or unadulterated rage. Probably a combination of both, judging from the murderous look that passed between them just before they started advancing on him. Miroku stumbled back a few steps.
“Or Kouga!” he tried.
Two more steps.
“Or…Sesshoumaru?”
Three more steps.
“Or maybe even little Shi-”
“That’s it!” Inuyasha roared. Just like that, the chase was on. “Get back here, bouzu! You’re going to fucking die!”
“Just make sure you leave some for me, Inuyasha!” Sango shouted, following in hot pursuit. Back at camp, Kagome shook her head.
“He probably would have accused me next,” she quipped.
“Kagome, I swear I didn’t do it!” Shippo cried. “I don’t even know how to make a baby! You have to believe me!” When Kagome got her giggles under control, she endeavored to reassure the panicked kit.
“I know it wasn’t you, Shippo.” The kitsune sighed in relief, then frowned in confusion.
“Kagome? How do you make a baby, anyway?” The miko flushed mildly, trying to come up with an appropriate response. Shippo was getting to be that age…
“Go ask Miroku-sama,” she said. Cries of pain filtered through the trees, and Kagome groaned quietly. “That is, if Inuyasha and Sango-chan haven’t killed him already.”
“Well, if they have, I’ll just ask Inuyasha!” That comment forced Kagome into a choking fit.
“Yeah, good luck with that!” she replied, giggling madly again. Shippo pouted.
“Man, I’ll never get any answers!”
