Chapter 7: When the roof caved in and the truth came out
*Grab some tissue
"Thank you all for coming. And I hope you enjoy the rest of your night," Kagome says, before walking off the stage. Everyone claps as Makoto helps his daughter get off the stage.
Soft violins start to play as waiters come out to serve everyone their food.
"Good job Kagome," Inu No Taisho states as he stands up and hugs Kagome.
"Thanks pops," Kagome says as she hugs him back.
She hugs the rest of the family (except Kikyo), before taking a sit next to her future husband.
"Let's eat," Kagome says as a waiter sets a plate of food down in front of her.
Everyone laughs, before doing as told.

Thirty minutes later

Opposing the depressing reality,
A hero whose heart is growing
The afterimage of the dream seen last night
Kagome reaches inside her black clutch and silence her phone, before sending an apologetic look to the family.
"Sorry, I have to take this," Kagome says as she gets up and walks away from the table.
"I wonder who that was," Hojo loudly ponders.
Inuyasha waits ten minutes, before excusing himself from the table.
'He's going to check on Kagome,' Kikyo thinks with a slight glare. 'I don't regert what I told the reporter. I can't wait to see their faces."

With kagome
.
.
"I'll call you tomorrow. I'm going to be busy tonight," Kagome states.
"Oh. Okay. Love you. Bye mom."
"Bye sweetheart. Love you too. Bye," Kagome says before ending the call.
"Shoot," Kagome mumbles as her clutch slips out her hand.
"Who called you?" Inuyasha asks as Kagome bends down to pick up her purse.
"Someone," Kagome mumbles as she stands up.
Inuyasha nods as he leans against the wall she was standing in front of.
"I like it when you're hair is up," Inuyasha states as he runs a finger down her neck.
"Inuyasha, you know that's, that's my sensitive s-pot," Kagome shutters.
Inuyasha shoves Kagome against the walls and places both hands on the side of his head.
"Is the little Kagome blushing?" Inuyasha questions as he leans his head against hers.
"Why are you acting like this? Like a dog in heat," Kagome mumbles as Inuyasha's breath hits her bottom lip. "We said we weren't going to do this anymore."
"I don't know and you're right," Inuyasha says as he backs away from Kagome.
Kagome clears her throat as she leans off the wall. She looks at Inuyasha, before turning to walk away.
She was a foot away, before Inuyasha's hand grabs her wrist and yanks her towards him.
Kagome places a hand on his cheek as he bends his head down.
Their breath hits each other lips.
"So close," Kagome mumbles. "Yet, so far away."
:::::
With Kikyo
.
.
"Izayoi, I'm going to go fix my make up," Kikyo says as Izayoi takes a sip of her wine. Izayoi nods in response.
'I wonder where Inuyasha and Kagome are up to?' Kikyo thinks as she walks to the bathroom, purse in hand.
"You're not acting like a friend to Kagome."
'That's Hojo's voice,' Kikyo thinks as she stops walking and leans against a wall.
"Yes I love you too, but as a friend. I'm an engaged man," Hojo calmly says.
"Don't tell Kagome, she'll be heartbroken."
Hojo sighs before talking again. "I'll see if I can see you tonight."
Kikyo leans off the wall and walks towards Hojo who is leaning against the men's bathroom door.
"Okay. Love you too. Bye," Hojo whispers as he spots Kikyo.
He clears this throat as he puts his phone in his back pocket. He leans off the door and walks in Kikyo's direction.
Kikyo glances at him from the corner over her eye as they walk pass each other.
Once in the bathroom, Kikyo walks towards the sinks and places her purse down on the counter.
"Is Hojo cheating on Kagome? But with who?"
::::::::::
With Kagome and Inuyasha
.
.
"Why am I so attracted to you?" Kagome asks as Inuyasha leans his head against hers.
"Because I'm so sexy."
Kagome rolls her eyes as she looks up at him.
"And there you go again."
"What?" Kagome questions with a tilr of the head.
"That look in your eyes. You want me, but you know it's wrong."
"I'm not going to be the other woman."
"Kagome, I've always been attracted to you and you've always been there for me-"
"But, you'll also want her. You always choose Kikyo."
"I did not," Inuyasha snaps, but Kagome gives him a look.
"Is that why you don't like her?"
"No. There are many reasons why I don't like your wife. She's ugly, fat, cold hearted, rude, and- and-"
"She's nice, open-minded, pretty, skinny, fit, and has the most amazing smile," Inuyasha states with a smirk on his face. He clears his throat as he looks down at her."Give her another chance, Kagome. I think you two hit it off badly. You two will get a long. I'm sure of it."
Inuyasha glances down at Kagome who is looking down at the floor.
"I guess I can be nice to her. Since she's going to be in the baby's life."
"That's the spirit," Inuyasha says as he lifts her chin.
They stare into each other eyes for a minute, before Kagome looks away.
"I have to go to the bathroom," she mumbles.
Inuyasha nods as he backs away from her.
"I'll see you back in the banquet hall," Kagome says before walking away.
"There's something bothering her," Inuyasha mumbles as he watches Kagome walk away.
"And I'm going to find out what it is?"
:::::::::
With Kikyo
.
.
"Should I be a good friend? And tell Kagome what I heard? Nah," Kikyo mumbles as she fix her lipstick. She checks her make up one more time, before making her way to the door.
As she was about to open the door, the door was thrown up by Kagome.
"Oh, sorry," Kagome mumbles as she and Kikyo almost bump into each other.
Kikyo watches as Kagome walks pass her and to a stall.
"What's wrong with her?" Kikyo whispers as she grabs and opens the door.
She pauses when she hears sniffing.
'Is she crying?' Kikyo thinks, before walking out the bathroom.
*A minute later*
"Hey, where were you?" Inuyasha asks as his wife takes a seat next to him.
"In the bathroom. Is Kagome okay? We bumped into each other in the bathroom. She looked upset ."
"I'll have Sango talk to her," Inuyasha says as Kagome takes a seat next to Hojo.
Kikyo nods as she gives Hojo a look, Hojo smiles at Kagome, before picking up his fork.
An hour later
.
.
"Hey Kagome, are you okay? Kikyo said you look upset when you went into the bathroom," Sango whispers as Kagome stands by one of the mini bars in the corner of the room.
Kagome sighs as she runs a hand down her arm.
"I'm fine. I was just thinking things over. And I decided that I'm going to tell Hojo the truth tonight," Kagome says as she grabs a glass of "champagne" off a tall waiter's tray.
"Good. That's very good," Sango says with a nod. "I'll be here if you need me."
Kagome nods as she takes a sips of "champagne".
"What are you doing?" Kikyo furiously whispers as she yanks the glass out of Kagome's hand.
A few people turn around and look at the women, but quickly ignoring them to continue their conversation.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asks with a raised brow.
"You're not suppose to be drinking, in your condition."
"Calm down," Kagome says with a cross of the arms. "It's just apple juice, sniff it yourself."
Kikyo sniffs the drink, it is apple juice.
"Apple juice," Kikyo mumbles as she looks at Kagome and Sango.
"Excatly. Since you've been watching me like a hawk tonight, you should have noticed that I've been getting my drinks off one tray from the same man," Kagome snaps causing Sango to place a hand on her shoulder. "I would never hurt my baby."
"Kagome, calm down," Sango whispers before clearing her throat. "Oh, hello Mr. H."
"Sango, Kikyo," Makoto says with a nod. "You two don't mind if I take Kagome away."
"Not at all sir. Take her away," Sango says as she lets go of Kagome.
Kagome glares at Sango as her father places his hand on her shoulder and guides her to the section designated for dancing.
"Sango, why does Kagome hate me?" Kikyo asks as Kagome places her hands on her father's shoulders.
"Kagome doesn't hate you. Dislike you, a lot? Yes," Sango states as she glances at Kikyo. "Give her some time, and she'll warm up to you."
"Thanks for the encouraging words," Kikyo sarcastically mumbles.
Sango rolls her eyes at Kikyo's response. 'No wonder Kagome hates you. With that attitude, I would want to beat your ass too.'

With Kagome and Makoto
.
.
"You make me proud, Kagome," Makoto says as he twirls his daughter. Kagome giggles as she places her hands back onto her father's shoulders.
"Thank you, daddy."
"Your mother would be proud too."
"I know she would be," Kagome says as they began to sway from side to side.
They are silent as they listen to the music.
"Dad."
"Mmm?"
"I talked to Arata today and during the week."
"Really?! What did he say? What happen? How is he?" Makoto question excitedly, causing Kagome to smile.
"He wants to meet me, dad. He wants to know his mother. So we schedule a meeting for this Sunday."
"Good. That's amazing, that he's coming back into your life. When can we meet him?" Makoto asks as he glances down at his daughter.
"Probably in a couple of weeks. I want him to get use to and know me," Kagome says with a nod.
"What about Hojo?"
"Who?"
"Your fiancée," Makoto says giving her a look.
"Ohh. I forgot about him," Kagome says with a nervous chuckle. "I guess I'll have to tell him about Arata."
"Do you love him?"
"Arata? Of course I do," Kagome says with a nod.
"I mean Hojo."
"I do. He makes me happy and feel safe," Kagome states. "But, I don't really feel a connection with him. I'll feel it once we're married right?" Kagome questions as she looks up at her father.
"Follow your heart, but listen to your mind," Makoto says as he twirls Kagome around again.
"Dad-"
"I can't give you an answer, Kagome. I don't want to ruin what you built. I just want my baby girl to be happy, safe, and in love with a man that can provide all of that for her. Just know that your brothers and I will always be here for you."
Kagome sighs as she leans her head against his chest. "You're right."
"Excuse me sir, but may I cut in."
Makoto and Kagome look up to see Hojo standing next to them.
"Sure thing son," Makoto says, before turning back to Kagome. "Just think about what I said."
Kagome nods as he gives her a kiss on the head.
"What were you two talking about?" Hojo questions as he wraps his arm around Kagome waist.
"Nothing. Hojo, I have to tell you something. It's very important," Kagome says causing Hojo to look down at her.
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you when we're at home."
"You're scary me, Kagome," Hojo says with a nervous chuckle.
"I love you," Kagome whispers as she places her head on his chest.
"I love you too," Hojo says as he places a kiss on top of her head.
'Will you, after I tell you what I did?'
*Five minutes later*
"You don't mind if I cut in, right?" Inuyasha says as he stands next to Hojo.
Hojo glances at Kagome who nods while taking her head off his chest.
"I'll be by your father and brother." Kagome nods as Hojo walks away and Inuyasha takes his place.
"Great job with the banquet, Kagome," Inuyasha says as Kagome lays her head on his chest.
"Thank you."
"Kikyo told me that you snapped on her."
"Did she now? Huh? Can she ever keep things to herself? She accussed me of putting my baby in danger."
"Our baby. "
"Shut up, Inuyasha," Kagome says with a giggle.
Inuyasha chuckles as he lays his head on top of hers.
"I hope the baby has your hair. It's so soft," Kagome mumbles as Inuyasha sniffs her hair.
"You're wearing a lot of perfume," Inuyasha states.
"I don't want anyone to smell the baby. Not yet," Kagome says. "I'm going to tell Hojo everything tonight."
Inuyasha nods as he brings his head up and looks around the room. "There's so many people here."
"Yeah."
"When are we going to tell the family?"
"Next week. Or after I go to the doctor's," Kagome says with a sigh. "This baby is always making me hungry."
"When carrying a demon's child, the mother should eat every three hours. I know weird, but it takes a lot of enegry for the baby to grow," Inuyasha states.
"Looks like I'm going to have to study more about demon children," Kagome states before letting out another sigh.
Inuyasha lets out a sigh too, as he lays his chin on top of her head.
"Kagome?"
"Yes?"
"You, you look beautiful tonight."
"Thank you," Kagome says as they continue to dance.
They didn't notice the two pair of eyes staring at them. Both filled with jealousy.
:::::::::
An hour later
.
.
Kikyo lets out a soft moan as she takes a sip of her wine. She is sitting on one of the couches in the back of the room.
'I have to get father to make sure that reporter doesn't snitch,' She thinks with a nod.
"Kikyo," Kagome says causing Kikyo to look up at her and stand up.
"Yes?"
"I-I-I want to apolgoize for how I've been treating you," Kagome mumbles as she looks at her. "I shouldn't have let my feelings stop us from becoming friends."
"What's wrong with you? Is the baby getting to you?" Kikyo asks with a raised brow.
"Funny. Very funny," Kagome says as she stares at Kikyo. "I just came over to be nice and be friends, at least frenemies."
"Inuyasha put you up to this?"
"Yup," Kagome says as a waiter walks up to her.
"Ms. Higurashi, more champagne?"
"Yes please."
The waiter nods as he hands her a glass.
"Thank you, Mayte. You can tell Jonji to stop making my champagne. I'm going to be leaving in a few."
Mayte nods, before walking away.
"Leaving so soon?" Kikyo asks with a smirk.
"Yes. The baby's making me tired."
"And moody," Kikyo states.
"And wanting to punch a bitch, oh sorry," Kagome says cheerfully.
"Are you girls being friendly?" Inuyasha asks as he wraps an arm around Kikyo's shoulder.
"Trying," Kikyo mumbles, before leaning up to give her husband a kiss on the lips.
"That's good," Inuyasha says as he glance at Kagome who stares at them.
"If you'll excuse me, I have some business to take care of before I go," Kagome tells them before walking away.
"Can you two stop acting like you're trying to claw each other eyes out?" Inuyasha questions with a raised brow.
"Trying? Tell that to her. She's always snapping at me for no reason," Kikyo says.
"Hormones probably."
"You're always defending her," Kikyo says as she looks at him.
"I don't," Inuyasha states as he looks at her.
"Just becauae she's carrying your child, doesn't mean you have to be on her side all the time," Kikyo says before walking away.
"Uhh. Why is it so harding trying to please two woman," Inuyasha mumbles as he follows his wife.
*Twenty minutes later*
"Ready to go?" Inuyasha questions as he see Kagome standing by the door.
"Yes. Hojo's talking to Naraku," Kagome says as she turns to face Inuyasha. "When I get home, I going to make a big bowl of ice cream with hot fudge on top."
Inuyasha chuckles as he puts his hands into his pocket. "That sounds good."
There was silence for a minute, before Inuyasha clears his throat.
"I'm sure you're tired of standing. Let me walk you to your limo," Inuyasha says as he glance down at her.
"Thanks," Kagome say with a smile.
When Kagome and Inuyasha make it to the entrance of the banquet they let out a deep breath, before two men open the doord.
They were meet with flashing lights and various people yelling.
"Here goes nothing," Kagome says, before walking down the aisle.
Inuyasha chuckles as he follows behind her.
"Kagome! Inuyasha! Pose for the camera!"
"Kagome! Look over here!"
"Inuyasha look at the camerea!"
"Kagome! Inuyasha!"
"Kagome! Kagome! Is it true that you and Inuyasha Takahashi are having a secret love affair?" A reporter shouts causing Kagome and Inuyasha to freeze.
"Kagome, is it true that you're pregnant?"
"Inuyasha, are you the father of Ms. Higurashi baby?"
"Inuyasha! Are you going to divorce Kikyo in order to be with Kagome? A woman you had a sexual past with!"
"Inuyasha, what's going on?" Kagome asks as she holds an arm up to shield herself from the flashing light.
"I don't know. But I'm going to make sure you get to the limo, safely," Inuyasha says as he wraps an arm around her waist and push their way through the crowd.
"Kagome, what's going to happen to you and Hojo?"
"What-"
"Don't say anything!" Inuyasha whispers as they make in to the limo, unharmed.
Inuyasha pushes Kagome into the limo, before following in after her.
"Inuyasha. I have to go find Hojo," Kagome states as Inuyasha closes the door to the limo.
"Stay your ass in this car. Hojo can find his way home," Inuyasha says as he looks down at Kagome.
"He's my fiancée!" Kagome yells as she glares up at Inuyasha.
"Do you want to go back out there? And have those cameras and reporters in your face?" Inuyasha snaps causing Kagome to huff and lean back in her seat.
"No."
"Good. Now stay in the limo and let the driver take you home."
Kagome sighs but nods.
"Stress isn't good for the baby," Inuyasha says as he places a hand on her stomach. Kagome nods as she looks out the window. Inuyasha kisses the top of Kagome's head, before opening the door to the limo and getting out.
"Call me when you get home."
Kagome nods, but continues to look out the window.
He closes the door and watches the limo drive off.
"Time to face the music," Inuyasha mumbles before turning around to face the crowd of reporters and cameras.
::::::::::
Twenty minutes later
With Kagome
.
.
"Where is he?" Kagome mumbles as she pace back in forth in the living room. She had taken a shower and changed into some fresh clothes to clear her mind.
"Okay, Kagome. Calm down. You're going to be honesty with him. Honesty is the best policy," Kagome says as she bits her nail.
Slam!
Kagome freezes as she hears the door slam close.
"Hojo," Kagome whispers as she quickly walks out the living room.
::::::::
With Inuyasha
.
.
"How in the hell did they find out?!" Inuyasha shouts as the limo turns left.
"In-"
"Tomorrow is going to be hell! Did you see the look father and Makoto gave me! Just fucking great! Now I have to deal with them and the reporters," Inuyasha says as he runs his hands down his face. "How are we going to deal with this?"
"Inuyasha, you'll get through this. We will," Kikyo smoothing voice states as she rubs Inuyasha's shoulder.
Inuyasha groans as he looks at his wife.
"What's wrong?" Kikyo asks with concern in her eyes.
"I forgot about you and your family," Inuyasha says as he places a hand on her cheek. "I'm sorry they found out. I'm sorry that I have to put you and your family through all this drama."
"Inuyasha, don't be ever-"
"Everything is not fine, Kikyo. I hurt you by not telling you what was going on between Kagome and I. But I'm going to make it up to you. I want us to be what we uses to be. Happy and in love."
"Aren't we that now?"
"In love yes. Happy? I can see that you still don't trust me," Inuyasha states.
"Inuyasha, I'm going to trust you again," Kikyo says with she kisses the inside of his hand. "We're going to what we used to be."
"Thank you," Inuyasha says before giving Kikyo a peck on the lips.
'What was I thinking? Telling the press about Inuyasha and Kagome. I-I, what will he did when he finds out how the story got leaked. No. He wouldn't find out. No one will,' Kikyo thinks as she looks into Inuyasha's eyes.
"Maybe when we get home, we can take a long bath together, drink some wine, and reconnect in the bedroom," Inuyasha whispers as he runs his claws up Kikyo's arm.
"Sounds good," Kikyo mumbles as she closes her eyes.
'What have I done?'
::::::::
With Kagome
.
.
"Hoj-"
"Shut the fuck up!" Hojo yells as he leans against the door.
Kagome bites her lip as she looks at Hojo.
"How long?"
"How long what?"
"Don't fucking act stupid, Kagome. How long have you and Inuyasha been sleeping together? Did you sleep together that today I saw him in a towel, standing in our kitchen!"
"No. Inuyasha and I haven't been having sex. We only had sex once and that was the night we had that fight. And, we-I-I'm sorry Hojo," Kagome says as a few tears fall out her eye.
"So if you and Inuyasha only slept together once, you being pregnant is a lie, right?" Hojo asks as he leans off the door and walks towards Kagome.
Kagome shakes her head no.
Hojo pauses as he looks at her.
"What do you mean no?"
"I'm pregnant," Kagome whispers.
"When were you going to tell me?" Hojo snaps.
Kagome shakes her head as she looks at Hojo's furious face.
"Kagome!" Hojo yells as he marches towards her and grabs her arm. "When. were. you. going. to tell me?"
"Tonight. I swear," Kagome whispers as she looks at him. "Hojo, I'm-"
"Sorry! Don't fucking tell me that lie. You probably want him to fuck you, over and over again. I bet you never thought about me when he was in between your legs," Hojo whispers, furiously.
"Don't say that. "
"Don't say what? Huh? Kagome. That you enjoyed him fucking you, the feeling of his big arms surrounding you. He made you feel special."
"Stop."
"You thought you were special. You thought he would take you as his own. You didn't care who you were hurting."
"Hojo, please."
"But when you were lying next to his naked body, you knew he would regert what you two did. You knew that he wanted his wife. His wife that loves him, cherish him, make him feel a certain way that you could never make him feel."
"You're wr-"
"You knew that when you woke up in the morning, you'll be the other woman, the slut, the whore, the no good tramp," Hojo whispers as he looks into Kagome's tear filled eyes. "That's why you didn't tell me the day after you two did it."
"That's not-"
"If I knew, you knew I would have left you. And you would have been all alone," Hojo says, before letting her arm go. "And you were right."
Kagome's eyes widen as Hojo walks away from her and towards the stairs.
"Hojo, you don't mean that!" Kagome yells as she turns around.
Cause every inch of you is perfect
From the bottom to the top
Kagome sighs as she walks into the living room and picks up her ringing phone.
Yeah, my mama she told me don't worry about your size
"Sango, hi," Kagome says as she wipes the tears off her face.
"Hunny, are you crying?" Sango asks as she hears her friend's voice crack.
"Yes," Kagome whispers.
"I'm coming over. We have a lot to talk about. Is there something you want me to get you? Water, juice?" Sango questions.
"Something to make me go to sleep and forgot about everything," Kagome says before walking out the living room and up the stairs. "Hojo and I just had a fight."
"Everything's going to be fine, Kagome. I'm on my way," Sango says.
"Thank you. Bye," Kagome states, before ending the call. She puts the phone in back sweat pants pocket.
She walks to her bedroom and freezes at what she saw.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asks as she rushes towards Hojo.
"Are you stupid? Or deaf? I said I'm leaving," Hojo says as he places a pair of pants into the suitcase.
Hojo, don't go! Please!" Kagome pleads as Hojo continues to pack his clothes.
"Why? So you can lie to me again?" Hojo asks as he throws a shirt into his suitcase.
"Hojo, it was an mistake. I swear," Kagome cries as she tries to touch his back.
"Don't touch me!"
Kagome quickly brings her hand to her chest as the tears run quickly down her cheeks.
There is silence as Hojo packs the rest of his clothes.
"Whe-where are you go-ing?" Kagome stutters as she wipes the tears off her cheek.
"You don't need to know. Maybe I'll go to Ayumi's house and fuck her," Hojo states as he slams his suitcase closed.
Kagome's breathe hitches in her throat at his response. Hojo grabs the handle to his suitcase and looks at her.
"I'll pick up the rest of my things later on this week. Keep the house and the ring," Hojo states, before walking pass her, suitcase in hand.
"No, no, no!" Kagome shouts as she runs after him. "Hojo! Don't leave!" Kagome yells as she stands at the top of the staircase.
"Why? So you can make me look like a fool? You lied and cheated on me." Hojo questions as he continues to walk down the rest of the stairs. "Go to hell Kagome."
"Hojo, please," Kagome starts to say as she runs down the stairs. "Ho-ahh!"
"Kagome?!" Hojo shouts as he turns around quickly to see Kagome falling down the stairs.

With Inuyasha
.
.
"That was good," Inuyasha says as he towel dries his hair. He's wearing a blue muscle shirt and gray sweatpants. He throughs his towel into the haper after he is done.
"It was. We haven't had a long bath in a long time," Kikyo states with a smile as she pulls her hair into a ponytail. She's wearing a white t-shirt and blue cotton pants.
"Do you want me to get some wine or ice cream?" Inuyasha asks as Kikyo takes a seat on their bed.
"Ice-" Kikyo starts to say as Inuyasha's phone ring.
"Don't tell me it's mom again," Inuyasha groans as Kikyo picks up his phone.
"It's Sango," Kikyo states, holding out the phone to him. Inuyasha raises a brow as he walks towards her and grabs his phone.
"What Sango?"
"In-Inuyasha! Come to the h-hospi-tal. Now!" Sango yells in between sobs.
"Why, what's wrong?" Inuyasha asks.
"Kag-om-me and Hojo we-er-re aguring. And he was leaving a-a-d-an-d-"
"Sango what happen?" Inuyasha asks forcely.
"Kagom-e fell do-wn the sta-irs," Sango whispers.
Inuyasha turns pale causing Kikyo to stand up.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" Kikyo asks as she places a hand on his shoulder, but Inuyasha ignores her.
"Is she okay? How's the baby?"
"They don't know yet. Miroku and I are on our way to the hospital," Sango says as Miroku reaches over and grabs her hand for comfort.
"Is Hojo with her?" Inuyasha asks as he grabs an jacket, his car keys, while putting on shoes. He quickly walks out the room.
"Inuyasha!" Kikyo yells as she runs after him.
"No. Naraku and Sota told him to leave Kagome alone."
"Stupid bastard! He's the reason she fell in the first place," Inuyasha mumbles as he rushes down the stairs, Kikyo quickly following behind him.
'Kagome fell,' Kikyo thinks with slight horror.
"What hospital is she at?"
"Sogo. Inuyasha, Kagome can't lose this baby. Even though she hasn't said it, this baby means the world to her," Sango says as a few tears fall out her eye. "She been through too much, for something so precious to be taken away from her."
"I know," Inuyasha says as he walks out the house and towards his garage. "I'll be there in ten minutes, update me if anything happens."
"Will do. Bye."
"Bye."
Once in his car, Inuyasha waits for Kikyo to get belted in before driving off.
"I-i-s Kagome going to be okay? How about the baby?" Kikyo questions as Inuyasha drives off their property.
"They don't know went," Inuyasha mumbles as hia grip tighten on the steering wheel.
'If, if Kagome loses this baby, it will be my fault. And once Inuyasha finds out what I did, he will never forgive. I'm so stupid,' Kikyo thinks as she looks at the tense looking Inuyasha. 'Inuyasha, I'm sorry.'
*Five minutes later*
"Where is she? Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha questions as he rushes towards his family who were sitting in the waiting room. Kikyo following behind him.
"They just brought her up to her room. We're about to go up there now," Izayoi states as the Higurashi family continues to walk towards the elevators.
"It's not wise to ignore our calls, son" Inu No Taisho asks as he looks at his youngest son. "Is what the press said true?"
"Not about the secret love affair, but yes, she's pregnant with my child," Inuyasha says with a sigh. "That's why I need to see her, to know she and the baby are okay."
Inu No Taisho nods and lets his son walk pass him, before turning to face his daughter-in-law.
"Did you know about him and Kagome?"
"Yes," Kikyo responded with with a sigh.
Izayoi wraps an arm around Kikyo's shoulders as they walk towards the elevators.
"Why didn't you tell us what was going on?" Izayoi asks as Sesshomatu pushes the up button.
"I didn't want anyone to know," Kikyo mumbles as she leans against Izayoi.
The family piled into the elevator and traveled to the fifth floor.

"How is she?" Inuyasha questions as he walks beside Makoto. Sota and Naraku are behind them with Sango and Miroku following behind the group.
"She's fine. She has a big gash on the front and back of her head and she experience memory lost," Makoto states as they walks pass the nurses' station. "Her right leg and left arm are broken. But she's safe and stable now."
"The baby?" Inuyasha asks.
"They're running test," Makoto says with a sigh. "I'm not going to ask, question or yell about what happen after the banquet. We'll worry about that later. Right now, I want to focus on my daughter."
Inuyasha nods as Makoto stops walking.
The family does the same and look through the big rectangular window. Kagome's lying on a white hospital bed with wires connect to her hands, arms, and stomach. He left arm and right leg are in a cast. A nurse walks out the room and bows to the family, before walking away.
"Can we go see her?" Sango asks as she wipes the tears from her eyes.
Makoto nods as he continues to stare at his daughter. Sango nods as she grabs her husband's hands and walks them into Kagome's room.
"Where's Hojo? I didn't see him anywhere near the hospital."
"Let's not talk about that bastard," Naraku growls before following his brother, who was walking into Kagome's room.
Makoto and Inuyasha are silent as they watch Sango, Miroku, Naraku, and Sota spend time with Kagome.
*Five minutes later*
"How is she?" Rin asks as she place a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Sleeping," Inuyasha says as Sota, Naraku, Sango, and Miroku walk out Kagome's room.
Rin and Izayoi nod as Inu No Taisho stands behind Makoto.
"How are you feeling?"
"Numb," Makoto states as Inuyasha walks into Kagome's room.
Kikyo was about to follow him, but Izayoi stops her.
"Let him have some alone time, dear," she whispers.
Kikyo sighs and nods as she watch Inuyasha stand next to Kagome's bed.
Inu No Taisho clears his throat, before speaking. "There's a waiting area down the hallway, let's give the Higurashi some space."
The Takahashi family, Sango, and Miroku nod as they turn around and walk to the waiting area.
"I'm going to call Ayame and Koga," Sango says before walking in the opposite direction.
"If you need anything, tell me," Inu No Taisho states as he places a hand on Makoto's shoulder. "Your family is my family."
"Thank you," Makoto says as he turns around face Inu No Taisho. "I appreciate Toga. So would have Korari."
Inu No Taisho nods as he pulls Makoto into a brief hug, before walking to his waiting wife.
"Dad, I'll be back. Kagura's downstairs," Naraku states. Makoto nods as he continues to look at Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Dad, I'm going to call Hitomi," Sota softly says, before walking away. Makoto absently nod as he rubs his chin.
...
"Push!"
"Uhhhhhhaa!"
"You're doing great honey!" Makoto says as he wipes the sweat off his wife's face.
A woman with short brown hair and brown eyes glares at him.
"I hate you!"
"You said that with Sota and Naraku," Makoto states causing the woman to place more pressure on his hand. "Korari! You're going to break my hand!"
Korari rolls her eyes as the doctor between her legs tells her to push.
"Uhhhhhhaaa!"
"I can see the head. Come on Korari, one more big push!"
"I can't," Korari mumbles as she leans back.
"Her hear rate is dropping," a nurse announce causing the doctor to nod as he spread Korari's legs.
"Yes you can! Just one more push! For me and for our baby girl," Makoto says as he looks into his wife's brown eyes.
"Push!"
"Uhhhhhhaaa!"
"Ahhhhhhhwa!"
"A baby girl!" The doctor shouts as he hands the crying infant to a nurse.
Korari flops back on bed, panting.
"Doctor, her hear rate is very low."
"Place a oxgyen mask over her mouth and prepare her for surgery," the doctor states as he notice that Korari is still bleeding.
"Why the tears baby girl?" Makoto questions with a smirk as he rocks his daughter.
"Korari look at her. She's beautiful, ain't she," Makoto questions as he turns around to show his wife their daughter.
He turns pales at the condition his wife in. She's pale and barely breathing.
"What's going on?" Makoto asks.
"We'll tell you later. But, right now we have to take her to surgery now," the doctor says quickly.
Makoto quickly shows his wife their daughter and kiss her head.
"Lovely?"
Korari blinks as she stares at her daughter.
"What's should we name her?"
"Makoto-"
Korari weakly raises her hand and takes the oxygen mask off her mouth and nose.
"Ka-go-me."
"Kagome. I like it," Makoto states as he kiss the sleeping Kagome on the head. The nurse were un-hooking Korari from the different machines as she talks to her husband.
"I- lo-lo-ve you. An-d the b-oys an-and- Ka-go-me."
"Shh. Don't talk like that Korari. Stay strong," Makoto says as he places the mask back over her mouth and nose.
Korari blinks in response. Makoto kisses the top of her head before whispering, "We love you too."
The nurses rush Korari out the room as she starts to close her eyes.
Little did he know, those were the last words he had said to his wife.
...
"Dad, are you okay?" Naraku asks as he stands next to his father.
"Yes. I was just thinking of your mother."
:::::::::
With Inuyasha
.
.
"Just wake up. Wake up and tell me that everything will be okay," Inuyasha mumbles as he moves a piece of her hair out Kagome's face.
He places the piece of hair behind her ear, before looking down at her face.
He was suprised to see blue eyes staring up at him.
"Hi," Kagome says as she looks into Inuyasha's eyes.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" Inuyasha asks as he places a hand on her cheek.
"Okay. My head hurts, but I feel fine," Kagome states, before smiling. "I'm glad you came back."
Inuyasha raises a brow as he looks down at her. 'What is she talking about?'
"Came back? Kag-"
"Shh. I know you're ditching school to come see me. But don't do it again. Izzy or pops might find out and get mad at us," Kagome says with a giggle as she tries to sit up, but Inuyasha lightly pushes her back down.
"Inuyasha, I'm fine," Kagome tells him with a huff.
"Kagome."
"Yes?"
"How old am I?"
"Eighteen, stupid. Just because you have silver hair, doesn't mean you're old Inu," Kagome says.
"I see that you're awake," Makoto says as he walks into the room, Naraku following behind him.
"Ahhhhh! Get away! Get away!" Kagome shouts.
Everyone freezes at Kagome's reaction.
"Inuyasua, don't let him touch me. Please don't go, please," Kagome begs as she grabs Inuyasha's hand.
"Wha- Kagome, I'm not going anywhere," Inuyasha states a he runs a hand down her face.
"Naraku, go get the doctor," Makoto whispers to his son. "Now."
Naraku nods, before rushing out the room.
"Don't leave me. Don't go," Kagome whimpers.
"Kago-"
"No one was there. No one was there to save me, to proect me," Kagome whispers.
"Shh. Kagome. Go to sleep," Inuyasha mumbles.
"He raped me, Inuyasha!" He raped me!" Kagome cries as she grabs his arm. Inuyasha freezes as he looks down at her.
"What?" Inuyasha whispers.
"Kagome, calm down," Makoto says as he stands behind a frozen looking Inuyasha.
"Get away! Get away! Get away!" Kagome screams at her father. Inuyasha wraps his arms around Kagome, pulling her close to him.
"Kaggy, please calm down!" Inuyasha loudly says, but Kagome ignores him.
"Go away uncle Kato. Please! it hurts down there," Kagome sobs into Inuyasha's chest.
"Makoto?" Inuyasha questions as a light brown haired woman walks into the room.
"Kagome, what's wrong, sweetheart?"
"Get uncle Kato away from me, aunt Tsukiyomi. He hurt me! Why is he here?"
Tsukiyomi looks at Makoto who has tears in his eyes. "Kato, can you please leave Kagome alone?"
Makoto nods as he turns around and walks out the room. But Kagome continues to shake and thrash.
"He's outside! He's going to hurt me again! He's going to cut me again. I have to get out of here!"
Tsukiyomi bits her bottom lip as she reaches inside her white coat pocket and pulls out a needle and a small bottle containing a clear liquid.
"Kagome, we need you to calm down dear. All this moment isn't good for you or the baby," Tsukiyomi's soothing voice says as she walks towards Kagome's IV bag.
"Baby? What baby? I'm fifteen. I can't be pregnant!" Kagome yells as she looks at Tsukiyomi. "What are you doing with that needle? Get away!"
Inuyasha firmly slams Kagome's shoulder's into the bed as she starts to wildly thrash around.
"Kagome calm down!"
"Stop! You're hurting me! Get away! G-g-g-e," Kagome yells before closing her eyes, and falling into a deep sleep.
"Is the baby going to be affected by what you just gave her?" Makoto quietly asks as he walks back into the room; Inuyasha let's go of Kagome.
"No. But they way she was thrashing around, could have affected the fetus. I'll run some more test and I should have the results in the morning."
Makoto nods as Inuyasha whispers something to Kagome.
"Thank you, Tsukiyomi," Makoto states before running a hand down his face.
"I'll call Hitomiko and Kaede. Focus on your kids, Makoto," Tsukiyomi states as she places a hand on Makoto's shoulder. Makoto looks at his sister-in-law, before nodding. (Tsukiyomi is Korari's sister..)
"Tell us if anything happens."
Tsukiyomi nods as Makoto turns around and walks out the room.
Tsukiyomi turns and walks towards Inuyasha.
"Hi."
Inuyasha looks at Tsukyiomi before looking back down at Kagome.
"Hello."
"How do you know my niece?" Tsukiyomi asks as Inuyasha removes a piece of hair out of Kagome's face.
"We're friends and I'm the father of her baby," Inuyasha states.
"Oh. So you two are dating?" Tsukiyomi questions.
"I'm married. It's complicated," Inuyasha says as he runs a finger down Kagome's face.
"Well in my opinon, you and Kagome make a cute couple," Tsukiyomi states with a small laugh.
"What did Kagome mean when she said Kato raped her?" Inuyasha asks causing Tsukiyomi to freeze.
"Ummm-"
"The truth too."
"Inuyasha, it's not my story to tell," Tsukiyomi says with sad eyes.
Inuyasha quickly turns around and marches out the room.
Tsukiyomi sighs as she looks down at Kagome.
"You do need a good rest, Kagome. All the heartache you've been through."

With Inuyasha
.
.
"How's Kagome?" Sango asks as she stands up.
"She's doing fine. She's still sleeping," Makoto states, until he hears Inuyasha call out his and his sons' name. The Higurashi men turn around and look at Inuyasha as he stomps towards them.
"Is what Kagome said true?" Inuyasha angrly asks as he stands in front Naraku, Sota, and Makoto.
"Inuyasha," Kikyo whispers but Inuyasha ignores her.
"Inuyasha. Drop it," Naraku demands.
"No. Fucking answer my question," Inuyasha demands as he turns Naraku around and looks him straight in his red eys. Inuyasha's eyes widen in shock as tears formed in Naraku's eyes."Is what she said true?" Inuyasha asks softly.
"Yes. My brother raped my daughter," Makoto says before sobbing into his hands. Izayoi quickly gets up and comforts him. She makes him sit down before wrapping her arms around him.
"Makoto, it wasn't your fault. It was an accident."
"He, he what?" Inuyasha asks as he stumbles into the wall.
"When Kagome was fifteen, Kato came to my house drunk. His wife had been cheating on him then asks for a divorce. That night, he raped Kagome. Over and over again," Makoto sats as he places a hand over his eyes. "He tied her to the bed and cut her when she did something he didn't like. When I got to the house in the morning, I caught him lying on top of Kagome, she was unconscious. I-I-I, threw him off of my daughter and checked on her, to make sure she was still alive. Kato woke up and didn't realize what was going on until he saw Kagome, naked and barely breathing. Kato didn't know he raped Kagome; that he hurt his niece."
Inuyasha looks down at Makoto who's sobbing into his hand.
"Makoto, you don't have to say anymore," Izayoi whispers as Sango and Rin sob into their husband's chest. Kagura rubs Naraku's back as he sobs against the wall.
Kikyo glances at Sota who places his fingers in his ears and walks away from the family.
"Wh-er-e's Ka-to now?" Inuyasha stutters.
"Kato was so disgust a-a-nd ashamed of himself, that he committed suicide. He didn't know he that he's a father to my grandson," Makoto says before letting out a loud sob. "This is all my fault."
"No dad. It's not your fault. It's his," Naraku snaps as he glares at Inuyasha. He leans off the wall to stand in front of Inuyasha.
"It's your fault! You were suppose to be there. You were suppose to take her to your parents' house that night!" Naraku shouts as he slams Inuyasha into the wall.
"Guys stop!" Kagura shouts as she places a hand on her husband's back. Kikyo rushes to her husband's side, trying to wrench Naraku's arm off Inuyasha's neck.
"You ditched her that night to hang out with your boys. To get drunk, to flirt with some girls. For Kami's sake, why didn't you fucking tell her you weren't coming. This could have fucking been prevent, you stupid bastard!" Naraku shouts as he pushes his arm into Inuyasha's neck.
"Naraku. Let go! It wasn't his fault," Sota snaps as he grabs his brother's arm and takes it off Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha slids to the floor, his wife following his every movement.
Naraku quickly turns to his brother and glares at him.
"If he had been there that night, if he had call and-"
"I did," Inuyasha mumbles.
"What?" Naraku snaps as he looks in Inuyasha's direction.
"I called the house. I fucking left a message," Inuyasha growls as he looks at Naraku. Inuyasha shakely stands up while glaring at Naraku.
"Where were you? You could have stopped that bastard from raping and impregnanting your sister!"
"Why you-" Naraku starts to say as he grabs the front of Inuyasha's shirt. "You didn't deserve my sister. You only cause hurt and trouble in Kagome's life. You ungrateful son of a bitch," Naraku growls as he raises his hand, to punch Inuyasha, when a voice stops him
"Excuse me. Did you just say Kagome? As in Kagome Higurashi?" A teenage boy's voice asks as his adoptive mother stands behind him.
"Oh my Kami!" Sango gasps as she places a hand over her mouth. Rin, Miroku, and the Takahashi family eyes widen as they look at the teenage boy. Kikyo raises a brow as Makoto stares at the boy.
"Wh-wh-o's that?" Inuyasha stutters as he stares at the worried teenage boy.
"Arata."
