Chapter 12: She Was Pregnant?
A week later:
"Mom! Have you seen my shirt?" Arata asks as he opens the door to her bedroom.
"It's in the laundry room, hanging up on the door. I ironed it yesterday," Kagome says as she turns towards him while putting on her earrings.
She's wearing black dress pants, a white, silk no sleeve shirt tucked in her pants, and a yellow jacket on top. She wore black jewelry to match her pants.
Her hair is in a bun with a swoop bang.
"Okay, thanks mom," Arata says before closing the door.
Kagome waits a minute, before turning to look at her closet.
"Okay. He's gone."
Inuyasha walks out the closet, shirtless.
"You have to go," Kagome says as she grabs his shirt off the floor and throws it at his face.
"You weren't saying that last night," Inuyasha tells her.
Kagome rolls her eyes as she walks pass him to grab her shoes from the closet.
"You have to be at work early to meet Hiten," Kagome says as she turns around with yellow pumps in her hands.
"Fine. Get your panties out of their twist," Inuyasha mutters as he slips on his shoes.
"I'm sorry I have to be harsh," Kagome states as she puts on her shoes, before walking towards her lover.
She wraps her arms around his neck, causing him to place his hands on her hips.
"I don't want Arata to know that his mother is a sl-"
"Don't call yourself that," Inuyasha snaps. "You're not a slut. You're an amazing mother."
Kagome smiles as she leans up and kisses him.
"Inuyasha!" She quietly squeals against his lips as he squeezes her butt.
"Kami, the things I want to do to you," Inuyasha mumbles against her lips, "will have you screaming all night."
"Kiss me, you dirty boy," Kagome whispers with a grin.
"Not yet. I have something to tell you," Inuyasha says as he gives her a peck, before pulling away from her lips.
"What is it?"
"When you were sleeping in my arms, last night. I started thinking, I wanted this. I want you and Arata in my life. I want to go to sleep every night with you at my side. I want to wake up and see that smile on your face," Inuyasha tells her. "Kagome, I've called my lawyer. He's drawing up the papers right now. I'm going to divorce Kikyo."
"Inuy-"
"No. Don't talk me out of it. I want you, Kagome and only you," Inuyasha says.
Kagome yanks his head down and seals their lips.
Inuyasha's right hands slips up her back as he kisses her back.
She moans as his tongue slips into her mouth.
"Kagome! Are you up?"
Kagome slowly pulls away from the kiss and turns towards the door.
"Yes. I'm up. I'm going downstairs to cook breakfast in a few," Kagome tells him.
"Okay. I'm going out for a run."
"Alright dad."
Kagome turns towards Inuyasha and bites her bottom lip.
"You really have to go now."
"I know. We'll discuss the divorce later," Inuyasha tells her.
Kagome nods as she looks him in the eyes.
'Can I really start a life with Inuyasha?'
.
.
An hour later
"Thanks Ms. Higurashi for picking us up," two half demon twins, Roku and Dai, say as Kagome backs out their driveway.
"It's no problem," Kagome says as her phone starts to ringing. She clicks a button on her ear piece as Arata turns around to talk to his friends.
"Guess who's going to be back in town tomorrow?" Koga's voice asks.
"You are," Kagome sings.
"And guess who has a lot of explaining to do?"
"I do," Kagome mumbles as she turns the corner.
"I scheduled for me and you to go out to lunch Wednesday," Koga tells her.
"Could you pick me up from my doctor's appointment then," Kagome asks as she stops at a stop sign, before turning another corner.
"Checking on the baby?"
"Yes. I called Aunt Hitomiko earlier and ask her if I can come early for an check up. I've been feeling a little dizzy lately."
"Are you eating? Stress?"
"Yes and no stress," Kagome tells him as she stops at a yellow house.
Dai gets out the car and runs up the brick pathway.
"Okay. I'll pick you up. I'm guessing, Inuyasha and his lovely wife will pick you up?" Koga says as Kagome looks at her watch.
"Sadly," Kagome mumbles as Dai and an orange haired boy,Shippo, get into the car.
"Thanks Ms. Higurashi. For picking me up."
"It's no problem," Kagome tells Shippo with a smile. She makes sure everyone is buckled up, before driving towards their school.
"Car duty. Nice. We've been gone for too long," Koga says causing Kagome to roll her eyes.
"Whatever. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay Kaggy. Bye."
"Bye," Kagome says before ending the call.
"Are you boys excited? This is your last year of junior high."
"Yes!"
"Very excited!"
"Can't wait to leave!"
Kagome giggles as she stops at a stop sign.
"Are you boys going to the same high school?" Kagome asks as she rolls down the window.
"Yup," Shippo says as Kagome spots their school.
"That's good," Kagome mumbles as she slows down her speed.
She stop at another stop sign then pulls into the parking lot in front of their school.
"Well it was nice meeting Arata's friends," Kagome states as she turns around. "You guys are always welcomed at our house."
"Cool."
"Thanks Ms. H."
"Thanks Ms. Higurashi."
Kagome and Arata watch the boys get out the car, before turning to look at each other.
"Did I embarrass you?"
"Towards the end," Arata tells her with a smirk.
Kagome giggles as he puts on his backpack.
"Your Aunt Sango will pick you up. Her car is like mine, but it's black," Kagome tells him as he opens the car door. "I have to work late today."
"Okay. Bye mom," Arata says as he leans up and over giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye sweetie," Kagome responds with a smile.
Arata closed the door and runs after his friends.
"My son," Kagome mumbles as she places a hand on her stomach. "I haven't forgotten about you either."
Honk!
"Move it lady!"
"Shut up bitch!" Kagome screams outside her window.
Kagome leans back in her seat and sighs. "And sometimes mommy has to act crazy. You don't want to see that."
A minute later, Kagome drives off.
.
.
"Arata, your mom is crazy," Shippo says with a laugh.
"And hot," Dai replies.
"I would so bang her," Roku states.
"Ewww. Gross," Arata shutters as they walk inside their school.
.
.
Fifteen minutes later
"Sorry I'm late. Traffic was a killer," Kagome says as she walks into her office to see Hiten and Sango sitting down.
"It's alright," Hiten tells her before taking a sip of his tea.
"Did Sango show you around?" Kagome asks as she starts to put her stuff away.
"Yes, and met Inuyasha, Yura, Sesshomaru, and some other important people," Sango says as she stands up. "You two have several meetings this morning," Sango states as she hands Kagome two folders.
"What about my desk?" Kagome asks as she points to her desk which is filled with flowers and cards.
"I'll sort those out and send out thank you letters."
Kagome groans as Hiten stands up.
"Welcome back to work, ma'am."
"I hate you," Kagome says as Sango hands her a pen and notepad.
"I know."
"Come on Hiten. Let's get to work," Kagome tells him as she walks out her office.
"Aye Aye captain."
"Nice to have you back, boss!" Sango yells.
"Don't suck up to me. Just yet!"
Sango giggles as she looks at the stack of papers. She puts her hair in a high ponytail and rolls up the sleeves to her pink button down shirt.
"Let's get to work."
.
.
Three hours later
"One more meeting," Kagome gushes as she and Hiten walk around the corner.
"Then lunch," Hiten tells her.
Kagome looks down at her wristwatch and gasps. "It's almost noon."
"Bingo."
Kagome shakes her head as Hiten holds open the door for her.
"How are you liking the company."
"Nice, big, and confusing."
"That's what I thought when I first walked into the building. But you'll get use to it," Kagome says as they walk into the conference room and see a tall silver hair man standing in front of the head chair.
"Hey Pops," Kagome squeals as she hugs Inu No Taisho.
"What are you doing here?" Inu No Taisho asks as he hugs her back. "You're suppose to be resting."
"Well, I'm here training Hiten. He's going to be taking over for me," Kagome explains as she points at Hiten. Hiten holds out his hand, causing Inu No Taisho to shake it.
"It's nice meeting you Mr. Takahashi."
"Nice to meet you too," Inu No Taisho tells Hiten with a smile, before pulling away.
"I'm going to train him for a while," Kagome explains.
"Why can't Inuyasha train him."
"I don't want two dumbasses running the company into the ground, Pops. Daddy and you have worked really hard," Kagome says causing Inu No Taisho to boom with laughter as Hiten chuckles.
"I heard that, Kagome," Inuyasha states as he walks into the room with Sesshomaru walking in behind him.
Kagome sticks her tongue out at him before taking a seat at the conference table.
Hiten follows Kagome's actions and takes a seat next to Kagome.
Sesshomaru watches his brother's fist tighten as Hiten leans over and whispers something into Kagome's ear, causing her to giggle.
"No."
"You okay, little brother?" Sesshomaru asks as he takes a seat to the left of his father.
"Fine," Inuyasha says as he takes a seat on the other side of Kagome.
" Taji and Dojin are here," Yura says as she stands in the doorway.
"Send them in," Inu No Taisho's booming voice says.
Yura nods as she closes the door.
"Let's begin business, boys," Kagome says with a smirk.
.
.
Thirty minutes later
"I don't see what the problem is," Kagome says as she rubs her forehead. "Or you're not making yourself clear."
"We want 50% of-"
"No. Not even happening," Kagome states. "As I previously stated, you can have 10% of the profit of each item that is sold underneath your stores' supervision."
"Make it 75% and we-"
"No," Inuyasha interrupts.
Knock Knock!
"I'm sorry for interrupting, but can I talk to Ms. Higurashi for a second," Yura says as she peeks her head into the room.
Kagome quietly excuses herself as she stands up and walks towards Yura.
"What's up Yura?" Kagome asks as she closes the door.
"Arata's school called. He-"
"What's wrong? What happen? Is he okay?" Kagome worriedly ask. She tried to take deep breaths as her heart starts to beat faster. "Tell me he's okay."
"Kagome, he's fine. He just got into a fight."
"A WHAT?!"
.
.
A minute later
"Excuse me, Mr. Takahashi," Yura says as she peeks her head into the conference room again.
"Which one?" Inuyasha asks as he turns to look at her.
"Umm, either one that can calm Ka- I mean Ms. Higurashi down."
Sesshomaru and Inu No Taisho glances at Inuyasha who stands up and excuses himself.
"Where is she?" Inuyasha asks as he closes the door.
"I thinking, running down the stairs," Yura states.
"And you didn't stop her? She's pregnant Yura."
"I did try to stop her but she ran away from me. Sango ran after her," Yura says as they start to walk towards the elevator.
"What happen?"
"Arata's school called. He got in a fight."
"Over what?" Inuyasha asks as he pushes the down button.
"They didn't say," Yura states as the doors open. "I'll take your place at the meeting."
"Thanks," Inuyasha says as he steps into the elevator.
.
.
With Kagome and Sango
"Kagome! Stop running!"
Kagome ignores her and continues to run down the stairs in her heels.
Once she was at the bottom of the stairs, she throws open the door, only to be met with Inuyasha looking down at her.
"Move!"
"Not until you calm down."
"My baby could be hurt! Or dead! Inuyasha! Get the hell out of my way!" Kagome screams.
"Kagome, Arata is not dead. Okay? He probably has a split lip or something. He's okay," Inuyasha says as he pulls her into his arms.
Kagome nods as she sobs into his chest. "Stupid hormones! I fucking hate you Takahashi!"
"I know."
"My baby could be hurt."
"But he doesn't need to see you like this."
Sango sighs in relief as she sees Inuyasha and Kagome hugging.
"You okay?" Inuyasha asks as he rubs her back.
Kagome sniffs but nods.
"Yes. I'm fine now," Kagome tells him.
She gets out of his arms and turns towards Sango who's holding her purse.
"Sorry," Kagome says as she hugs Sango.
"It's alright Kaggy. Go check on Arata."
Kagome nods as she squeezes Sango, before grabbing her purse.
"Okay. Let's go, Takahashi," Kagome states as she pushes past him.
"Why do I have to go?"
"Do you want me to get in a car accident?"
Inuyasha sighs as he follows Kagome.
"Thought so dog boy."
"Shut up bitch."
"What a lovely couple," Sango mumbles as she turns around and walks towards the elevator.
.
.
Ten minutes later
"Thank you," Kagome says as a teacher directs her and Inuyasha to the nurse's office.
"No probably, Ms. Higurashi and Mr. Takahashi."
Kagome opens the door and gasps as she looks at her son.
He sitting on an examining table with a busted lip, a black eye, and a scratch above his left eyebrow.
"See Kagome he-"
"My baby!"
"Mom!" Arata whines as his mother yanks him into her arms.
"What happen to you, my baby? Why were you fighting?" Kagome asks as she pulls away from him.
"These boys were picking on me," Arata mumbles.
Inuyasha closes the door as Kagome's eyes soften.
"What happen?" Kagome asks softly.
"I was in gym class, with my friends when these two boys came up to us," Arata states. "Then they began to make fun of me. They said I was a bastard child. That you didn't want me. That I was a mistake."
Kagome places her hands over her mouth in shock.
"So I told them to leave me alone, but one of the boys pushed me so I pushed him back, harder, then we began to fight," Arata looks down at his feet. "I'm sorry mom."
"Hey, look at me. I'm not upset. You're safe and that's what matters right now," Kagome says before wrapping her arms around her son.
"Umm, excuse. Ms. Higurashi."
Inuyasha and Kagome turn around to see a short, brown haired woman standing in the doorway.
"Yes?"
"Principal Toran would like to talk to you."
Arata scoots back as his mother's face turns red.
"Oh, really?" Kagome snaps.
The woman shakily nods in response.
"Kagome, calm down," Inuyasha states as Kagome turns around.
"I'm fine. I'm freaking fine," Kagome says as she sets her purse down, turns around and quickly walks out the room.
"Umm. I'll get her. Go get your stuff," Inuyasha tells Arata as he grabs Kagome's purse before dashing after her.
Arata chuckles as he jumps off his table.
"That's my mother."
.
.
"Whoa! Is that Kagome Higurashi?!"
"Wow! She's hot!"
"Why is she here?"
"Who's that?"
Kagome ignores the middle schoolers as she continues to march down the hallway.
"Kagome, be rational," Inuyasha says from behind her.
"I will be. Trust me," Kagome tells him as they round the corner.
Inuyasha bites bottom lip as they spot the main office.
Slam!
"Umm Ms. Hi-"
"Sit down," Kagome snaps as she walks towards the principal's office.
"Sorry," Inuyasha tells the secretary before following after the mother of his child.
Slam!
"Hello Ms. Higurashi," A panther demon with blue hair says as she looks at Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Ms. Toran," Kagome states as she marches to stand in front of Toran's desk. "Is my son in trouble. He already told me what happen."
"Yes and no. I saw the video and I heard from witnesses," Toran calmly states as she looks at Kagome. "I understand what and why Arata did what he did. However, fighting is not allowed at this school."
Kagome sighs as she takes a seat in front of . Inuyasha leans against the wall.
"How long?"
"Arata will be suspended for two weeks. Yet, someone is allowed to come here and pick up his work."
Kagome nods as she listen to what has to say. Kagome takes a deep breath to calm her nerves.
'See? Mama's not stressed baby,' Kagome thinks as she places a hand on her stomach.
"And what happened to the other boys?"
"They have been expelled," states. "We do not allow that kind of behave or harsh talk at this school."
Kagome nods as she stands up. does the same. Kagome holds out a hand for to shake.
"Sorry I came in here like that," Kagome says with a small giggle. "This is my first time being here and having him. I-I- I was scared and-"
"Totally understandable, Ms. Higurashi," tells her with a soft smile.
"Thank you for keeping Arata and allowing him to keep learning. And I'm a hundred percent positive that this will not happen again," Kagome tells her as they release their hands.
"I'm sure of it. Arata is a great and smart boy."
Kagome smiles and nods. "Thank you."
Inuyasha shakes Ms. Toran's hand before they walk out her office.
"Thank you Yash. For being here with me," Kagome says as she rubs her stomach.
"Don't worry about it," Inuyasha states as they walk towards the front door of the office.
Arata is leaning against the glass walls with his green and white backpack on his shoulder.
"So."
"Two weeks."
Arata nods as he looks down at his feet.
"Can we go home now?" Arata asks as Inuyasha closes the door.
"Yes, we can go home now," Kagome tells him with a smile. Kagome wraps her arm around Arata shoulder as they walk down the hallway.
Inuyasha smiles as he watches mother and son wall down the hallway.
"I can't wait until I'll have that connection with my kid," Inuyasha mutters before following after them.
.
.
An hour later
"He's suspended for two weeks," Kagome says as she closes the kitchen cabinet.
"Well the good thing is that's he's okay," Midoriko says.
"Should I really ground him?" Kagome asks. "It wasn't his fault."
"True."
"But he did get suspended."
"You're right."
"So take his phone away for a week."
"Sounds good," Midoriko states with a soft smile. "You're a good mother Kagome."
"But I feel like it's my fault. The boys were making fun of him."
"Hey! It wasn't your fault, Kagome. Arata accepts you. Your family accepts him and that's what really matters."
Kagome lets out a sigh of relief but nods.
"Thanks Midoriko. I really needed that. I'll call you later. I'm going to check up on Arata and Inuyasha."
"Okay. Bye Kagome."
"Bye."
.
.
.
With Inuyasha and Arata
"Mom's mad," Arata states as he leans back.
"Ahh, don't worry about it buddy. She'll get over it," Inuyasha says as he places his feet on the coffee table. "I'll put in a good word for ya."
"Do you think I was wrong for what I did?"
"No."
"Really?" Arata asks with shock.
"Yes. When I was your age, maybe a little older, everyone made fun of me. They called me a half breed, a dumbass, anything in the book. I got into a few fights. But after a while, I just ignored them. I knew I had friends and family that accepted and loved me. But your mother really influenced me to stop fighting. She said, it made no sense in fighting with a fool because if someone sees us, they won't know who the real fool was."
Arata let what Inuyasha said soak in for a minute before smiling and nodding.
"Thanks."
"No problem. And if you need help with anything, I'm here. I could even play basketball with you," Inuyasha suggest as he glances at Arata.
"Really?" Arata asks.
"Sure. I can come over after work and we can shoot some hoops for an hour," Inuyasha states, ruffling Arata's black hair.
"Not the hair!" Arata shouts as he pushes Inuyasha away from him.
"Aww! Come here!" Inuyasha yells pulling Arata into a headlock.
"This is child abuse!"
Kagome smiles as she leans against the door frame.
'He's going to be an amazing father.'
.
.
.
An hour later
"I love your cooking mom," Arata gushes as he picks up his philly cheese steak sandwich.
Kagome giggles as she hands Inuyasha a plate filled with a philly cheese steak and french fries.
Inuyasha glances toward Arata and makes sure he's not looking, before he slaps Kagome on the butt.
She squeals causing Arata to look up at her.
Kagome smiles at him, before turning around to grab her plate of food that is sitting on the counter.
She glares at Inuyasha as she takes a seat across from him.
Inuyasha shoves a fry in his mouth, causing Kagome to roll her eyes.
Kagome clears her throat, causing Arata to look at her.
"I was talking to Midoriko earlier, and we, well I decided as punishment, no phone for a week," Kagome says.
Arata sadly nods his head. "I understand."
Kagome nods before glancing at Inuyasha who gives her a thumbs up.
She cracks a smile, before she starts to eat.
They were almost done eating when Inuyasha's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Inuyasha! I-I-I need you! P-leas-Oh! Kami!"
"I'll be there soon, Kikyo."
Inuyasha stands up and ends the call, causing Kagome and Arata to look at him.
"I have to go."
"I heard," Kagome says as she stands up.
"Bye Yash," Arata says with a wave.
"Bye Arata," Inuyasha tells him with a wave.
Inuyasha and Kagome walk out the kitchen and towards the door.
"Call me if you need anything or want to talk," Kagome states as they stand outside.
Inuyasha nods as he gives her a peck on the lips, before dashing off to his car.
"I hope everything is okay," Kagome says before stepping inside, closing and locking the door behind her.
.
.
.
Ten minutes later
"What happen?" Inuyasha asks as he walks into the kitchen. He freezes as he sees blood on the floor.
"What happen," Inuyasha growls causing the maid, who's cleaning up Kikyo's blood, to jump.
"I'm not sure, Mr. Takahashi. I walked into the kitchen and saw-"
"Where is she? Where's Kikyo?"
"In your bedroom. But-"
Inuyasha had already left the kitchen.
"Kikyo!" Inuyasha yells as he burst into their bedroom.
His eyes soften as he looks at Kikyo curled up into a ball crying, on their bed.
He rushes towards her and place a hand on her shoulder.
"Kikyo."
Kikyo flinches away from him as she continues to cry.
"What happen."
"I-I-I lost our baby."
"What?" Inuyasha asks as he crawls into their bed.
Kikyo turns around, with tears in her eyes, and snuggles into Inuyasha's chest.
"I implanted your sperm inside of me three weeks ago," Kikyo confesses before letting out a sob.
"I was going to tell you I was pregnant, but I was scared. You were getting close to Kagome and she was having your baby. I-I-I didn't know how to tell you."
Inuyasha ran a hand down her back as she continues her story.
"I didn't feel good today and I was about to call you, but I fell. And I started bleeding. Inuyasha, there was so much blood!"
"Shhh," Inuyasha whispers. "It's okay, Kikyo."
Kikyo continues to sob in his chest. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Kikyo's it's okay," Inuyasha mumbles. "But why did you try to get pregnant. You said you didn't want kids."
"You wanted kids. I would have done anything for you," Kikyo says as she tightens her grip on his shirt.
Kikyo smiles as Inuyasha's grip tightens around her.
'Got him.'
"We should-"
"No hospitals! Please! I don't want them to tell what I already know," Kikyo states as she looks at him with teary eyes. "The baby died from stress Inuyasha! My sweet baby died, Inuyasha! It wasn't suppose to leave the world like that! I'm a terrible mother! I didn't deserve thi-"
"Don't say that Kikyo," Inuyasha snaps. "You are an amazing mother and woman."
"Then why did I lose my baby!? Our baby!?"
"Because of me," Inuyasha whispers.
Kikyo places her face into his chest in response.
"I'm sorry, Kikyo," Inuyasha softly says.
"I'm sorry."
'You bet you are.'
.
.
.
With Kagome
"I wonder where Inuyasha had to go," Kagome mumbles to herself as she puts the last dish into the dishwasher.
"Mom! Where's my medicine?"
"I got it sweetie!"
.
.
An hour later
With Inuyasha and Kagome
"I'm going to go get us some food and some medicine for you," Inuyasha says as he runs his hands through Kikyo's hair. "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"
"I'm sure," Kikyo whispers.
Inuyasha gives her a kiss on the head, before getting out of bed and walking out their bedroom.
Kikyo waited five minutes, before sitting up.
"Momiji!"
A short red haired woman quickly rushes into their bedroom. (She was the same maid who was cleaning Kikyo's blood off the floor.)The nineteen year old timidly stands by the door.
"Yes Mrs. Takahashi?"
"Come here," Kikyo snaps.
Momiji quickly stands next to Kikyo, only to be yank down, by her collar, to her eye level.
"You tell anyone! I mean fucking anyone about what really happen, I'll make sure your life is a living hell," Kikyo harshly whispers to Momiji.
"Yes, Mrs. Ta-kaha-shi," Momiji stutters.
Kikyo smiles before letting go of Momiji's shirt.
"Good. Now go clean something."
Momiji nods before rushing out the bedroom.
Kikyo lets out a sigh as she grabs the remote.
"Now I have Inuyasha wrapped around my finger."
She giggles as she turns the T.V. on.
"I have my husband back, can this day get any better?"
.
.
.
Ding Dong!
Knock Knock!
Ding Dong!
"Inuyash-what's wrong?" Kagome gasps as Inuyasha wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him.
"It's dead."
"What's dead?" Kagome asks as she steps back and Inuyasha follows her inside her house.
"The baby."
"What baby?" Kagome silently asks as she closes the door.
She slowly walks them to the living room. Inuyasha continues to whisper, it's dead.
"Who's dead?" Kagome asks as they take a seat on her couch. She is glad that Arata had fallen asleep.
"My baby."
"No," Kagome states as she pushes him away from her shoulder.
She grabs his hand and place it on the small bulge in her stomach. "The baby is okay."
"No," Inuyasha says as he runs a his fingers over her stomach. "My baby. Kikyo miscarried our baby."
"But you sa-"
"I know what I said," Inuyasha states as he runs a hand over his wet eyes. "A while ago, we thought she couldn't have kids. So I put my sperm in a sperm bank, so she could carry a baby. And-and."
"Take your time," Kagome states as she places her hand, that was on her stomach, onto his.
"She said she wanted a baby, so she went to the doctors and inseminated my sperm into her. She got pregnant and when I came to the house. There was so much blood," Inuyasha whispers. "I didn't even know she was pregnant. Kami! I'm such an idiot!"
"Hey, don't blame yourself," Kagome states as she places a hand on his shoulder.
"She said she was three weeks," Inuyasha states. "She said it was stress that caused the miscarriage."
"Did you guys go to the hospital?" Kagome asks as Inuyasha's hands slip to her waist.
"No."
"But how-" Kagome starts to say, but the look on Inuyasha's face, stops her. "I'm sorry for you lost Yashie."
"Kikyo doesn't want anyone to know. She's ashamed that she miscarried."
Kagome bites her bottom lip as she looks at Inuyasha. 'Something isn't adding up.' "Understandable."
"Are you-"
"I'm not going to divorce her," Inuyasha tells her. "I can't. She lost our baby, because of me."
"Hey! This was not your fault," Kagome states. "This was no one's fault."
"My baby is dead!"
"Inuy-"
"I killed my baby! Do you not understand. I was being selfish! I cheated on my wife! Because of me!"
Slap!
"Look at me!" Kagome demands loudly. She grabs Inuyasha's face and forces him to look at her.
"That baby did not die because of you. Or Kikyo. Or anyone. It wasn't it's time," Kagome explains. "But that baby will be loved. Our baby will know about their brother or sister. That baby will never be forgotten."
There's silence as Inuyasha looks into Kagome's eyes.
"Thank you," Inuyasha whispers as he wraps his arms around her. "Thank you."
.
.
.
With Kikyo and Tsubaki
"It worked Tsubaki," Kikyo gloats as she stretches.
"I told you it would girl. Where is your husband now?" Tsubaki asks as she takes a sip of her wine while waiting for her boyfriend.
"Getting us some food and me some medicine. It looked like he actually cared. He had tears in his eyes and everything,"Kikyo gushes with a giggle.
"Really? I wish I could have seen it. Hey, take those pills I gave you. They should help thicken your blood," Tsubaki remind her as a tall man with shoulder length brown hair walks in her direction.
"I won't."
"Look. I got to go Kikyo."
"Okay. I'll call you later."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
Tsubaki sets her phone down on the table and stares at the man who takes a seat in front of her.
"Hi."
"Hello."
*Flashback*
A weeks ago
"What do you mean?" Kikyo asks with a tilt of the head.
"What has Inuyasha wanted the most these last few months."
"A baby. But we already-"
"Wouldn't Inuyasha be devastated if he lost his baby?"
"A miscarriage?" Kikyo asks.
"Correct."
"But-the sperm bank!"
"Bingo!" Tsubaki praises. "However, you don't have to actually get pregnant. You can just say that you lost the baby."
"But Inuyasha won't believe me if I just say that I lost his baby. He'll want proof."
"Blood," Tsubaki whispers.
"My periods next week!" Kikyo shouts.
"Excellent! And my new boyfriend works at the hospital. If I could get my hands on a bottle of blood thinners, you'll have your husband back in your arms in no time."
"Tsubaki! You're a genius!" Kikyo says as she hugs her best friend.
"Anything for a friend."

Ten minutes later
With Kagome and Inuyasha
"Thanks Kagome," Inuyasha says before blowing his nose.
"It's okay. I never seen you like that before, well other than when your mom got sick. But, I knew you just want someone to talk to," Kagome explains as she leans back.
"Where's Arata?"
"Sleep. Those pills really knocked him out," Kagome says with a giggle.
Inuyasha nods as he throws his used tissue on the coffee table.
He sighs as he leans back on the couch too.
"You know we can't be together right? Not after that," Inuyasha states causing Kagome to look down at her feet.
"Yes. I know," Kagome tells him. "We should have never started in the first place. You're married."
Inuyasha nods as he scoots closer towards her.
"True."
"Can you love her again? Like you use to?"
"I can try," Inuyasha admits.
Kagome leans over and gives him a small peck.
"I guess that was our last kiss," Kagome says with a teary giggle.
"Yes it was. I should go," Inuyasha tells her.
Kagome nods as she looks at him.
"Aren't you going to leave?" Kagome asks as Inuyasha picks her up and sets her on his lap.
Kagome wraps her arms around his neck and looks him in his eyes.
"In a few," Inuyasha mumbles. "This will be our last time."
Kagome nods as she stares into his eyes.
"I'll never forget it."
Inuyasha bends down and seals her lips.
'I'm sorry Kagome. But I caused Kikyo so much pain. She lost our baby. But I shouldn't be treating you like this.'
Kagome separates as small tears form in her eyes as she stares into his.
"I love you Kagome."
"I love you too," Kagome says before bending down to seal their lips.

That night
"Oh my gosh!" Sango and Jakotsu whisper in utter shock.
"Yes," Kagome states as she pours more wine into their glasses. She had just told them about Inuyasha's situation. "Then we made love and after that, he left."
"With a goodbye kiss?" Jakotsu asks as Kagome hands them their glasses of wine.
"Yes. Kami, I'm such a slut," Kagome states.
"Was it good?" Jakotsu asks as Kagome grabs her orange juice.
"Like usual," Kagome mumbles with a blush.
"What do you mean by that?" Sango asks.
"I-I mean- He was. And I-"
"You little bitch!" Jakotsu exclaims with giggles. "You've been sleeping with your boss."
"Okay, okay. Maybe we slept together. But we stop now."
"How many times?" Sango asks as she rubs her forehead.
"Three times," Kagome admits causing Sango to jerk and look at her as Jakotsu squeals.
"Why didn't you tell me!"
"Because we shouldn't have slept together! He's married, Jaky!"
"She's right."
"So!"
"What if Miroku cheated on Sango."
"That's different," Jakotsu states as Sango takes a sip of her red wine. "Everyone knows Miroku's a pervert. You on the other hand is a goody two shoes."
Sango chokes on her wine as laughter erupts in her throat.
"Okay. What I really wanted you guys here was because of Inuyasha," Kagome states with a shake of the head. 'Sometimes I wonder how we're still friends.'
"What about it? The man lost his baby today," Jakotsu states with a shrug. Sango nods as Kagome takes a sip of her orange juice.
"Yeah, but something doesn't seem right about her story," Kagome says. "I mean, I get you don't want your family to know about the miscarriage, but you should still go to the hospital to check yourself out."
"True," Jakotsu says.
"And if you're pregnant wouldn't the first person you tell, is your husband. Knowing that he wants a baby for the last five years," Kagome states.
"Something is definitely not adding up," Sango confirms as Jakotsu grabs his phone.
"I can get us some answers," Jakotsu sings.
"From who?"
"Tsubaki."
"How? Last I checked, Tsubaki doesn't like me," Kagome says while pointing at herself.
"True, but Tsubaki is dating someone close to me," Jakotsu tells them causing Sango's eyes to widen in realization. "Still!?"
Kagome raises a brow in response.
"Who?"
"Suikotsu."

"What are you doing?" Hiten asks with a smirk.
"Leave me alone," Kagome says as she kicks off her shoes and shoves another doughnut bite into her mouth.
"Do you want one?"
Hiten nods as he grabs a doughnut.
"I think that one has coconut cream inside," Kagome says as she licks the frosting off her fingers.
