The Unfair Life

She splashed water on her face and deciding that it wasn't sufficient enough she splashed

some more on and toweled it off.

A pregnancy test isn't always accurate, but when the whole box of two different brands

of pregnancy testers say you a pregnant, there is a problem. You really are pregnant.

She rubbed her belly and sighed thinking how wonderful it will be to watch it grow.

The doorbell rang to their home and Kagome skipped down the stairs. Opening it with a

smile she flew into Kikyo and viciously hugged her. "I'M PREGNANT!" she shouted in

triumph to her.

Kikyo pushed Kagome off of her and held her at arms length. "That's just great. Here

are your children, they were wonderful. Got to go." Kikyo said in clipped words and

started to walk to her car.

"Keep it a secret Kikyo, I want to surprise him!"

"Whatever."

Shutting the front door Kagome knelt in front of Rin and Shippo. "Can you keep this a

secret? I want to surprise your father and make him happy."

With Rin's happy nod of approval and Shippo's shout of joy at having another sibling

they ran upstairs to play.

The doorbell rang again as Kagome checked her appearance in the mirror. The door

opened to reveal Inuyasha. Kagome happily hugged him.

Unknown to her was that as she hugged him he bent his head to take in her wonderful

scent of jasmine and the ocean. Pulling back she smiled at him. "I'm pregnant!"

Inuyasha's world crashed and burned. She looked so radiant and happy. "I thought you

were… you know."

"It's a miracle. Although I haven't seen my doctor yet… this is so incredible!" she gave

off a very girlish squeal of delight. "Kikyo just left, you missed her."

"I wasn't looking for her." Inuyasha bit his lip. He had come here to tell her his feelings

that he had stored in himself for so long, that he had never gotten over her, that he might

still love her. And he finds out that the Kagome that was barren suddenly was pregnant

with his half-brothers kid. It's just too complicated now. "That's great news by the way!

Glad I stopped by just to uh… say hi! I've got to get to work now before Sesshomaru

kills me."

"Okay, bye then!" she smiled happily at the dreary Inuyasha who felt like his heart had

been ripped out of his chest.

Why does life always have to be unfair?

Opening the door to their bedroom he quietly snuck through and out the patio doors.

Looking up at the sky he felt the moon with its quiet wisdom start to sooth his mood. He

had come home late specifically so he didn't have to deal with her.

With his shoes off and nothing on but his boxers he slipped into the silky sheets of the

bed and was suddenly pounced upon by Kagome who was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

She kissed his lips and worked her way down to his chest. His lips quirked as he raised

an eyebrow. Where had this come from?

"I have wonderful news to tell you." Kagome purred into his ear. Flipping her over he

took her silky nightgown between his fingers and slipped it off over her head.

"That can wait."

"But-

She wanted to tell him so badly. She wanted them to be a happy family so badly.

Pressing a finger to her lips he said, "I've had a bad day. This Sesshomaru needs some

relaxation."

I can tell him later. It's not like it matters to rush the news anyway, I have all the time in

the world.

And with those thoughts Kagome ran her fingernails down his back and smirked with a

wicked delight as he shivered.

"Dam it woman I'm late for work!" a very angry Sesshomaru growled as he looked at the

clock. "I set the alarm clock, why didn't it go off?"

"I turned it off."

"Why would you do that! Are you that stupid! I had a very important meeting this

morning!"

"I just thought you would want to spend some time with me. I wanted to tell you my

surprise."

"Kami, I should have married some other woman who knows how important work is to

me. Your damn surprise can wait! And those children are being sent back to the

adoption agency or wherever they came from. I don't want them!"

Finally dressed he opened the bedroom door but stopped when he heard her whimper and

smelt the salty tears that fell from her ocean blue eyes. He took a deep breath and

counted to ten making sure that he never turned around. God forbid he went back and try

and comfort her.

Slamming the door in his wake he left his wife in grief.

Pulling her suitcase out from under the bed she filled it with all the necessities and then

went to wake up Rin and Shippo.

With them dressed and her suitcase in hand Kagome knocked on the front door to

Inuyasha and Kikyo's house. Kikyo answered the door in a bathrobe and frowned at the

suitcase.

"I need you to watch them."

Kikyo took Rin and Shippo's hands in her own and for the first time in her life she felt a

tinge of sympathy towards Kagome. "Where are you going?"

"Things are over. I can't live with him anymore." As the tears came Kagome was

surprised when Kikyo stepped outside and into the chilly air to hug her. They clung to

each other as Kagome wept.

"I really am sorry. I'm sorry for everything. No one deserves a husband that doesn't

love you."

"That's the worst thing, sometimes he warms up to me and I think everything will be

okay, but then he just clamps up and gives me the coldest shoulder he can."

"Hold on." Kikyo ran into the house and quickly came back. Pressing five one-hundred

dollar bills into Kagome's hand Kikyo smiled. "I know this probably isn't enough

but…"

"Thank you." They hugged again and separated. With hugs to Rin and Shippo she

walked down the driveway, hailed a taxicab, and was gone from Sesshomaru's life

forever.

No, not the ending!
