She always peed on sticks in the feudal era. It was impossible NOT to pee on sticks when you had to go. But this stick made Kagome feel sick. She didn't want to mark this particular stick. Peeing on said stick would reveal her fate: Pregnant or Not Pregnant.
She stood infront of her mirror, holding a home pregnancy test in one hand, rubbing her belly with the other. She was wearing only a tank top and panties, so she could easily judge the bump beginning to form on her middle. She hoped the bump was all in her head, and began to suck in her stomach, trying to conceal it.
She exhailed and poked her head out in the hallway. The coast was clear. She shuffled quickly to the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. She read the box. One line = no, two lines = yes. Simple, right? She thought. She took the stick out of the box and pulled her panties down.
She inhailed as she squatted over the pregnancy test. She hovered over it, tring to relax, but the need to pee suddenly freed itself from her body.
"Jeez," she said, pulling her panties back up. She slumped on the toilet seat, in defeat, and thought of Inuyasha.
I can't believe this, she thought. I can't be pregnant. Especially not with Inuyasha's baby. We just aren't parent material. What would this kid even look like? Hmm. . .
She closed her eyes and imagined a plump little bundle, wrapped in red cloth. Beautiful black tufts of hair covered the child's head. Little amber irises peirced Kagome's imagination, knocking her back to reality.
"We would make a pretty cute baby . . . " Kagome said, thinking aloud.
"Who would make a cute baby?"
Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned to see Inuyasha, standing in the doorway. She blushed generously from what she said, her lack of clothing, but mostly from Inuyasha's appearance. Stunning as always.
"GET OUT," Kagome squealed, shoving Inuyasha away. She slammed the door and locked it.
"What? I've already seen you naked. Open up!" Inuyasha said, pounding the door.
"No! I . . . I have to do something. Go downstairs! I'll meet you in a few minutes." Kagome said, scanning the test box for instructions.
"I swear I'll break the door down!" Inuyasha growled through his fangs.
"Do it, and I'll sit you so hard. Now, go away please!" Kagome warned, losing her patients.
"Fine, wench!" Inuyasha roared, then fled downstairs.
Kagome rolled her eyes, then squatted over the stick again, this time peeing without hesitation.
She finished and placed the stick on her counter.
"And now, we wait . . . "
