Be My Savior – InuYasha Fanfic
Chapter 1: Bad news, Worse news
"You're what?"
"Pregnant…"
Kagome sat in tears as she told her best friend InuYasha of how she had been at a party, and the next thing she knows she wakes up in a strange bed with no clothes on. She told him of how she thought nothing of it until she missed her period. She told him of how scared she was when she went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test, and how she wished InuYasha could have been there with her. Then finally she told him how the test read positive. InuYasha sat listening with a soft expression on his face. He was angry with whoever did this to his Kagome, but he showed nothing but love and support.
"And you have no idea who the father is?"
"None whatsoever…and I can't get rid of it…It just wouldn't be right…"
"Then I'll help you look after it until you find the father and I can beat the shit outta him!"
Kagome looked at her friend and smiled. InuYasha always looked at her with such loving eyes. He treated her like nobody else. He hated to see her hurt like this, but there was nothing he could do, so he simply pulled her towards him and held on to her.
"I should have been here to protect you, Kagome."
"No, InuYasha, you had something important to go to, I was naïve"
"Please-"
He was interrupted by the phone ringing. Picking up the receiver he says hello, and is interrupted by one of the most annoying voices he knew. His Aunt Karin.
"InuYasha, daaaarling, Karin here!"
"Oh… Hello Aunty Karin." InuYasha said, unexcitedly.
"Goodness you sound so grown up my dear, how old are you now?"
"Nineteen, Aunt Karin"
"Oh yes, that shall do just fine! Your father and I were talking. I've found you a bride InuYasha! Your father agrees with me on this one as well."
"Ya what now?" InuYasha snorted.
"Oh don't talk to your Aunt so rudely my dear! Her name is Kikyo."
"Kazama?"
"Yeeeees! That's the one. You know each other?"
"Wish we didn't."
"Greeeeeaaat! I'm sure you two will be very happy together! Your father wants you to fly in tomorrow and spend some time with him, before your wedding next month."
"Next month?"
InuYasha didn't wait for a reply and slammed the receiver down. He sat down on the stool next to the telephone and sunk his head into his hands.
Kagome looked concerned.
"InuYasha, what's wrong?"
The phone rang again. InuYasha didn't even bother to answer it, instead he ripped the phone from out of the jack in a hurry.
"InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed.
"That was my aunt."
"Oh, you mean the irritating one, Karin?"
"The one and only…"
"So, what's wrong?"
"My aunt, has landed me in an arranged marriage. To Kikyo Kazama of all people!"
"Kikyo? Oh shit…InuYasha…"
"Don't say it Kagome. I need a vodka."
Kagome tried to laugh as lightly as she could, without shifting the situation.
Both Kagome and InuYasha hated Kikyo. And for good reason too. InuYasha, Kagome and Kikyo used to go to the same elementary school together. InuYasha always hung around Kagome and had fun, while Kikyo sat in corners, plotting against the two happy friends. This carried on through to high school, when Kikyo couldn't take it anymore. On the final exam paper, Kikyo scored badly on purpose. For the soul purpose of destroying InuYasha and Kagome. When all the papers had been collected in, Kikyo lingered behind and offered herself to the supervisor, in exchange for 5 minutes with the papers to change something on her test. The supervisor agreed and gave Kikyo the time she needed. She soon found InuYasha's exam paper, and her own, and performed the classic name switch trick on them.
Three hours later, when the exams should have been marked, she offered herself again, this time to the man ringing home with results. She claimed that her parents simply wouldn't believe the results unless they came from her, and that she must be alone to make the call. The telephonist left her in the room and let her ring home, but he did not accept Kikyo's 'generous offer'.
Thumbing through the list of numbers, she soon found the home number for InuYasha Matsuki.
She dialed the number and waited for an answer. When InuTaisho answered, she put on a fake voice and began to speak.
"Hello, Mr Matsuki? This is your son, InuYasha's school ringing regarding his test results. I'm afraid InuYasha did very very badly on his test. He isn't going to pass this year, and we believe it may have something to do with the girl he's always with. Miss Kagome Higurashi."
"I see. I shall see to it that InuYasha is no longer distracted by such things." InuTaisho said coolly before hanging up.
Kikyo sniggered to herself and then wrote a quick note next to InuYasha's home phone number: DO NOT CONTACT. EVER.
She then walked out of the office and addressed the telephonist.
"Sir, they weren't home. Please could you try ringing them when you get to them on the list? Just tell them my score, and I will talk to them in person when I return home."
"Uhh…sure Miss Kikyo."
"Thank you kindly."
Surely enough, when InuYasha went home for the holidays, InuTaisho was not happy.
"I can't believe you failed!"
"I what?"
"You failed InuYasha. All because of that Higurashi child. Well no more. Next year you're going to a different boarding school. On the other side of Japan, and an all boys school."
"Noooooooooooooo!"
"If it wasn't for the woman who phoned me, I would have never known the cause. Maybe now I can save you boy."
InuYasha walked out and slammed the door.
'Woman?' He thought to himself.
'But the telephonist our school hires is always a man…'
And then it hit him.
"Kikyo…"

A/N: Woo! First chapter complete. This seemed to just flow out of me! The earlier chapters always do. Readers, enjoy frequent updates while you can. I guarantee I'll get writers block nearer the middle or end of the story and won't post new chapters for some time. My readers of the fic 'The Institute' will know what I mean. I apologise in advance!
