Love From His Brother
Chapter 1: Betrayed
Kagome Taisho sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office waiting for someone to come and call her back. She had been feeling bad for the past month or so, so she had made a doctors appointment that morning and told Inuyasha that she was going to spend the day with her sister, Sango. Inu was always worried about her health and was way overprotective, especially since they had become married almost five years earlier, so she hadn't told him or anyone else for that matter that she was going to the doctor.
"Mrs. Taisho, Dr.Yukio can see you now."
Kagome stood up and went towards the woman who was holding the door open for her, "Thank you." The nurse smiled and bowed.
Three hours later Kagome was still stunned and on her way home. She didn't know how she was going to tell Inuyasha. She just hoped that he was as happy as she was.
Little did she know she was in for an even bigger surprise then she had gotten at the doctor's office.
"Damn-it, Kikyou, you have to hurry up and leave. I don't know when Kagome is going to be back." Inuyasha said looking down at the naked woman kissing his chest.
"Oh, come on Inu, baby, you said she'd be gone all day." She said as her hand ran down his chest to the part of him that always stood to attention when she was around. "So, come on, let's have a little more fun before I have to leave.
He groaned and was about to give in when he heard an all to familiar voice come from the living room. 'Oh, shit.' was all his mind would come up with at the moment.
Kagome opened the door to her and her husbands apartment, calling out to her husband she put her keys on the table, "Inu, I'm back. And I think we should talk." She walked down the hall kicking off her shoes and taking off her jacket, "I went to the doctor's office," she opens to their bedroom, "and I…" She trails off as she looks up and sees her husband and Kikyou Rumiko, his business partner, in different levels of undress, trying to get their clothes on.
Inuyasha looks up at her his eyes wide and Kikyou just stands there with a self-satisfied smirk on her face. Everyone stands there looking at each other until Inuyasha speaks, "K-Kagome, I-I thought you were at your s-sisters." He stutters.
Kagome looks at her husband incredulously, she just found him in bed with another woman and all he says is that he thought she was gone. 'Stupid baka, I'm not surprised he didn't say anything in his defense.' She just stares at him feeling like she's going to throw-up, her hand unconsciously goes to her stomach and Inuyasha's eyes widen as he recognizes the gesture.
She turns around and runs down the hallway to the bathroom closing and locking the door. After she flushes the toilet she leans against the door with her head down on her knees. 'How could I have not seen this coming?'
Flashback
"Kagome, I'd like you to meet someone." Inuyasha leads her over to a woman that looks almost like her twin, and introduces them. "This is Kikyou Rumiko. Kikyou, this is my wife, Kagome."
'There's something weird about this woman that I can't quite put my finger on.' "…Kagome." Someone saying her name pulls her out of her thoughts.
She looks at the woman named Kikyou again with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry, my mind kind of ran off there for a moment."
Kikyou smirked and held her hand out. "I said, it was nice to finally meet you, Kagome."
Kagome's smile was strained and she shook the woman's cold hand. "It's nice to meet you too, Kikyou."
Inuyasha smiled down at Kagome, "Kikyou and I are thinking about merging our businesses."
Kagome smiled and shook her head softly, "Inu, you know I don't know anything about any of that."
He gently grabbed her arm and after a quick goodbye they left.
End of flashback.
That was the first time she had ever met Kikyou but Inuyasha had started to invite her over to dinner at least once a week. Kagome had quickly found out that she was one of the undead and Inuyasha had once been in love with her. Apparently he still was.
A knock on the bathroom door snapped Kagome out of her musings and back to the present. "Kagome, are you alright?" It was Inuyasha. She stood up and walked to the sink to brush her teeth, she glared at her reflection. 'Baka, of course I'm not alright, I just found out you were cheating on me.'
When she was done Kagome opened the door and glared at Inuyasha, "How do you think I'm doing?!" She pushed past him, "You know what, I don't want to be around you right now, I'll just pack some of my things and go to my sisters." She pulled a suitcase out of the closet and started throwing clothes in.
"Come on, Kagome, Let's just talk about this."
She threw some shoes in and looked at him and the pain and anger in her eyes made him flinch. "No, I think you talked enough with Kikyou today." She went back to packing, "And to think I was worried about telling you about my doctors appointment. Apparently, I guess I should-."
"Wait, doctors appointment? Are you okay?" He had grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face him but she twisted out of his grip and continued to pack.
"Yeah, I'm fine but if you would have been at home as much as you were at work or where ever the hell you spend your time you would have known that I've been getting sick for the past month and a half."
"B-But you just said that you were alright. You-You said you weren't sick." He stammered.
She glared at him, as much as she didn't want to tell him she knew she had to, after all he was the father. "You baka, I'm not sick, I'm fucking pregnant."
Inuyasha gaped at his wife, she couldn't be serious, he sniffed and listened hard and sure enough he heard a second heartbeat and he smelt the baby. It was a mixture of him and Kagome. 'Oh my Kami, she's right if I had been here and paying attention I would have known. He couldn't let her leave.'
"Kagome, I'm so sorry, but we can work this out. We're going to have a baby. I know I should have known, but I didn't know about the baby." He pleaded.
"I'll even give you that, you didn't know about the baby, although you should have known." She said this so softly that it scared him, then she looked at him and he saw the flame in her eyes flare. "BUT YOU FUCKING KNEW YOU HAD A FUCKING WIFE, OR DID THAT SLIP YOUR DAMN MIND ALSO?!"
He winced at her words and looked down at his feet and flattened his ears. He sighed, "No, I didn't forget about you. I didn't want this to happen, Kagome, it just did. If I could go back and change it I would."
"Well, you can't. You should have kept your dick in you pants." She closed her suitcase and went to the bathroom to get some of her things out of there, she came back and put them in a tote bag that she got out from under the bed.
"Kagome, please, think about this, you have to think. What is our child going to think when it realizes that parents are supposed to live together and help take care of it?"
"I don't know but I AM thinking about this child. But ask yourself this, what is our child going to think when it find out that the reason its parent aren't together is because its dad is a no good, lying, cheating, bastard?" He winced but she kept going, "I'm leaving because I would be unhappy living with you and knowing that you've cheated on me. I wouldn't be a very good mother if I had to worry about if my husband is where he says he is or if he's out in some other woman's bed." She picked up her suitcase and bag and started for the door but Inuyasha stepped in her way. She glared at him, "Get out of my way, Inuyasha." She ground out between clenched teeth.
"No, Kagome, please, we still need to talk."
"No, I've said all I needed to say and now I want to leave. Now MOVE!" She put emphasis on 'move' by pushing him.
Inuyasha glared at her, his eyes turned red and he blanked out.
When he came to a few seconds later he looked down and saw Kagome sitting on the floor her wide eyes looking at him in fear with a hand to her already bruising cheek.
Inuyasha looked from her to his hand, which was still in mid air, back at her frightened eyes. He cursed his demon side over and over. "Kagome, I-I'm so sorry."
She shook her head and stood up, "No, I just want to leave, please, maybe-maybe we can talk later, when you're calmer." She sighed, "I'm sorry, Inuyasha, I just can't stay with you, not after what you did with Kikyou."
He nodded, he'd let her leave now but he'd talk to her later, "Okay Kagome, but just remember I do love you, I always will."
She nodded and walked through the door way but turned back at the last minute, "Inuyasha, I truly believe that you love me, but I also think you don't love me the way a husband should love his wife because if you did you wouldn't have cheated on me." And with that she turned and left.
When Kagome got out to her car she put her head down on the steering wheel and cried for the first time since she had found Inuyasha and Kikyou together. 'I can't believe this is happening, our first child and this is how its going to be. And he's never so much as raised a hand to me and then today he... Okay first things first I need to find somewhere to stay, tomorrow I'll go looking for a job and an apartment.' She took a deep breath and let it out, she new all the stress wasn't good for the baby so she made herself calm down and start the car.
Driving down the road she remembered her sister saying something about her and Miroku going out of town for a couple of days and realized she didn't have anywhere to go at the moment. She thought a moment but nothing came to her the worst that would happen was that she would have to go to a hotel for a couple of days. After a few minutes she decided to go and get something to eat after noticing her stomach rumble and realizing she hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was now one in the afternoon.
After driving for a few minutes in downtown Tokyo she found a place that looked nice, and parked her car. She checked her mirror and noticed the darkened bruise on her cheek and took out some make-up to cover it up, when she touched it she hissed at the pain but bore it.
Kagome grabbed her purse and went inside. A waitress showed her to a table and handed her a menu. She sat there for a few minutes staring at it but not really seeing what it said. A few minutes later the waitress came back and asked if she was ready to order, Kagome gave her the order and sat there and waited for the food.
She sat there until she heard a male voice behind her, "Kagome?"
She turned around and her eyes widened, she really didn't want this right now, she didn't want him to see her like this, "Sesshomaru." She whispered.
