''Souta! Please tell your sister to come down.'' Nala Higurashi shouted.

''I'm in the bathroom.'' he shouted back.

''Kagome?'' she waited. ''Kagome?'' no response.

Where was that girl? Nala was getting impatient. She was getting late for work. She wanted to tell Kagome that her eldest sister was coming today and wanted someone to be here when she arrived. She was not at the table for breakfast and she was not responding when being called. Maybe she wasn't feeling well. ''Souta, hurry up, we're leaving now or you'll be late for school.'' Nala went upstairs to Kagomes' room, knocked and open the door. ''Kagome? Are you ok?'' still no response. She went in to look at the bed but found it empty. Did she already leave? Without eating something? It must be an important errand for her to leave this early. They always had breakfast together. She turned to leave when something on the floor caught her attention. She bent down and picked it up gasping. Could it be? Her little girl.....

She put it in her pocket and called her husband.'' Muso it's me.''

''I'm sorry miss, we have nothing suitable for you at the moment.'' the man said.

Since she started asking around for work, that was the same reply she got. Kagome had been walking for two hours now. She had woken up early so she could continue her quest. As she got out of the building her stomach started growling. She went to sit on a bench nearby so she could eat a a sandwich that she made at home. It was no good walking around hungry. She had to eat for two. She had to take care of herself for the sake of the baby. If only Inuyasha would accept it, things would be fine. She was really stressed it hurt her stomach. Tears started forming in her eyes but she blinked them back. It would not be good for her to start crying in public. She threw the sandwich in a nearby bin. Her appetite was gone. Just then her cell phone rang. It was her mum asking her to go home. What was she doing at home? She didn't think anything of it because because there was no alarm in her voice. She took the train and headed home.

When she arrived home she went to the living room only to find both her parents waiting for. Her mum looked angry

''Sit down.'' she did as she was told. She looked from her dad to her mum. Something was not right. Why was her dad home too? Nala broke the silence.

''Kagome where did you go so early today?''

''Huh? I went to meet my girlfriend.'' she said the first lie that came to her head. Her mum removed something from the pocket her coat and held it up.

''Explain yourself? Is this yours?'' she said. There was no need to deny it. She would have to tell them sooner or later. She just thought later would be good.

''Yes! I just found out too. I was going to tell you soon, honest.'' she tried to defend herself.

''Enough!'' Muso growled. '' How far along are you?''

''Am in the seventh week.'' she was really nervous.

''You will not have the baby. You have to go to the university.''

''But dad...'' she tried

''Your mum will take you to the doctor tomorrow and you will remove it.''

''I want to have it, please dad. Mum help..'' she looked at her mum with pleading eyes.

''There's no other way around it. Do you know who fathered that child?'' Nala asked.

''Of course. Inuyasha is the father.'' her mum couldn't believe her ears.

''I thought i asked you stop seeing that boy. Look what he's done now. I'm afraid your father is right. You will have to have an abortion. We can't afford to let you throw your life away just to raise a child. You should concentrate and get a degree first. Then you will have children later when you're married and can support them.''

''Please mum, let me have it. I will look for a job. I will not be a burden to you...''

''We will not discuss this any further. Our minds are made up. You will have an abortion.''

Kagome started crying. She didn't know what to do. She would keep the baby no matter what they said.

'' I will not'' she whispered.

'' You will do it so help me God. You will obey me as long as you live under my roof. Do i make myself clear?'' he dad stood up.

''The baby is innocent. Why would i do that? I won't be able to live with myself. I'm sorry dad... please let me keep it.''

''Don't get smart with me young lady.'' Kagome knew they would never understand. Nala went to sit next to Kagome to try and make her see their reasoning.

''Kags, just agree to this. There's no other solution. You will soon forget about it.''

''No. I will not do it!'' she said more confidently.

Muso finally spoke. He had heard enough. ''Then you can't live her anymore. What will people think about us as your parents? What will they say? I don't want you to bring shame into this family. You are so young to be having a child. God knows i don't want to be a grandfather yet. If you still insist on having the child then get out of my house. Go and stay with your lover, see where you get.''

''Please... he doesn't want me anymore.'' she cried harder thinking about it.

''Then you have no other choice but to do as we tell you. It's for your best interest. Who would want a bastard running around here. That child is a mistake. Now get out of MY house if you don't want to obey me.''

''Don't.. hick ...send..hick... me..hick .. a ..away...hick... dad... '' she stuttered.

''Get out of my sight!'' he roared.

''Honey...please don't be harsh'' Nala tried to calm her husband down.

''If you want to side with her then you will follow her. What will it be?'' he waited.

''Kagome i'm afraid your father is right. Please reconsider your decision if you love us.'' Kagome ran to her dad, to beg him to let her stay. Muso swung his hand and slapped her so hard she fell. Both women were now crying from the shock.

Muso kicked a screaming Kagome as if she was a dog. ''Get out.'' he slapped her again. Kagome ran for her life. All the way to the door she received more blows from her father. ''As long as you carry that bastard, don't step a foot in here. If you come back, who knows what i'll do. Now get out.'' he slummed the door shut.
