Ok here's the next chapter, just as I promised. It will probably a while before I update again. Work has been really busy because of the holiday season and me being promoted. Hopefully I will be able to an overdue update for my other story "Somebody to Love" in a couple days. Well enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or anything like that, just this piece of pumpkin pie next to me...YUMMYNESS!

Kagome walked down the steps of hers just in time to see a limo pulling up to the curb. 'Just had to show off, didn't she?' she thought to herself. Walking up, the driver had opened the door. Thanking him, Kagome slid in. Hearing the door shut behind her, she looked around to see Kikyo on the opposite side of the limo. Giving her trademark smile, Kikyo greeted Kagome.

"Good morning, Kagome."

"Um, good morning." Kagome replied back, fidgeting with her hands. Looking over at Kikyo, she was wearing a pale yellow sundress with a white cardigan sweater, white pumps to match. Kikyo had pulled her long black hair into a high pony tail. Again it looked like she wasn't wearing any make up giving the illusion of natural beauty.

"Kagome, there's no need for you to be nervous."

Snapping back to reality, Kagome focused her attention back to Kikyo.

"Nervous? I'm not nervous, hehe."

"You've been fidgeting your hands since we left your house."

"Sorry."

"There's no need to apologize Kagome. I understand that it has been years since we've seen each other, but I want to start out fresh."

Kagome gave a small smile.

"Now I hope you don't mind Italian, there's something I want to discuss with you."

By the time the limo arrived at the restaurant, Kagome and Kikyo had talked about their childhoods and caught up with each other. The driver opened the door, Kagome got out first followed by Kikyo. Kagome looked around and noticed it was downtown and the restaurant was called Ma Belle's. Kikyo was the first to walk in with Kagome following behind. Upon entering the building, both women were greeted by the manager of the establishment.

"Ahhhh! Madame, it's a pleasure to see you again!" The manager said with a thick Italian accent.

"As to you too Antonio." Kikyo smiled giving her hand out. Antonio kissed her hand.

"And who is this lovely woman here?" He asked looking at Kagome.

"Kagome Hirugashi." Kagome said introducing herself.

"Ah pleasure to meet you Madame Hirugashi." Antonio said. "Now let me show you to your table."

Antonio brought the women to a private section of the restaurant. Kagome took in her surroundings. It was a classy, elegant typical Italian décor. A waiter came to the table handing them menus. Kagome looked up from her menu noticing Kikyo whispered to the waiter.

"What was that all about?" she asked.

Kikyo rested her hands in her lap and smiled at her. "My doctor has me on a specific diet."

"Oh"

"Now I wanted to tell you the real reason why I asked you other than to spend some time together." Kikyo began. "One is that I want to warn you a few things about Inuyasha Takashi."

Kagome lifted her head from looking at her menu, narrowing her eyes at Kikyo."

"What about him?"

"I'm sure you know that he and I were considered an item for a while."

Kagome crossed her arms, "Why don't you get to the point."

Kikyo stared at the young woman across from her. Kagome had grown into a beautiful young woman over the years and she only wanted to look out for her since she was now entering a business she had little knowledge of.

"Do not get involved with Inuyasha. He will only make your career suffer, not to mention he will try to bed you and then leave you."

Kagome sat there feeling the anger rise inside of her. Taking a sip of water, she cleared her throat, "Kikyo I appreciate you trying to give me some advice, but I can make my own decisions. What happened between you two is in the past. I'm the one who has to work with him, not you. So whatever happens between us happens. Is that all you wanted to talk about?"

Kikyo stared wide-eyed at her sister. Never had any dared to talk to her in such tone or fashion. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Kikyo composed herself. Kagome watched her reaction.

"Kagome, I'm pregnant."

Kagome stared blankly at Kikyo. She reached for her glass of water and chugged it down. Kikyo frowned when Kagome didn't reply.

"Well?"

"Well what?" Kagome replied setting her empty glass down.

"I tell you I'm pregnant, and I get no reaction from you." Kikyo said with confusion.

"You got a reaction from me, just not one you expected." Kagome said in a clipped tone.

"Kagome…" Kikyo started, but was quickly interrupted.

"Honestly I don't why you even told me. We haven't seen or talked to each other in almost twenty years."

As Kagome was about to continue, Naraku walked up the table where the women sat. He was dressed in a white Armani suit with a black silk shirt that was open at the collar. He pulled a chair up next to Kikyo putting an arm around her giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hello darling." He greeted. Kikyo gave him a kiss on the lips in response.

"Kagome, how are you this afternoon?" Naraku asked flashing her a smile.

"Fine." She said in quiet tone. Thoughts were running through her mind as to why Naraku showed up at lunch. She thought it was only going to be herself and Kikyo.

"So did you tell her?" Naraku asked Kikyo.

"Yes, but I haven't asked yes." She replied.

"Ask me what?" Kagome shifted her eyes between Naraku and Kikyo.

Naraku waved the waiter over. "I'd like two glasses of the house wine and on glass of sparkling water," he told the waiter. A couple minutes later the water came back with the order. Naraku set the glasses of red wine in front of himself and Kagome, while Kikyo got the sparkling water.

"I'd like to make a toast," Naraku said raising his glass looking directly at Kagome. "To your new career, and Kikyo's pregnancy."

Clinking their glasses, Kagome took a sip of her wine. Naraku's deep red eyes watched her.

"Kagome, I'd like you to be the godmother of our child." Naraku said nonchalantely.

Kagome began choking on the wine. Coughing, she set the glass down. Kikyo gave a look of panic.

"Kagome, are you all right?"

Holding her hand up, Kagome managed to catch her breath. "I'm fine, just inhaled while breathing," she said giving Kikyo reassurance. Turning her attention to Naraku, "I'm sorry I didn't catch what you said."

"We want you to be the godmother," Kikyo spoke up giving a proud smile. Kagome's eyes widen, she had heard correctly the first time. She looked back and forth between couple for a few seconds.

"You're the father?" she blurted out in confusion.

Naraku amused by her reaction, gave a slight chuckle. "Yes, we were married about four months ago," he explained. "Although the press has no idea about our marriage, they'll will figure it out when Kikyo begins to show."

Kagome looked to Kikyo, "How far along are you?"

"Six weeks." Kikyo smiled rubbing her stomach.

"So will you be the godmother?" Naraku asked staring intently at Kagome.

Shifting in her chair, Kagome tried to make herself more comfortable. Naraku made her nervous for some reason at that moment. Grabbing her glass of wine, she took another sip. Looking at both, she gave her answer.

"Sure."

"Excellent." Naraku said. He smiled knowing that Kagome had no idea what he had in store for her.
