By the time they visited the third home InuYasha was in a downright pissy mood.

Hojo was so nervous he was stumbling over his words and he wouldn't even look at Kagome. InuYasha had been giving him the evil eye since they left the office.

Kagome walked into the kitchen and gasped. It was absolutely beautiful. It had travertine floors, cherry wood cabinets, granite counter tops, top of the line silver appliances and an island in the middle.

An odd noise broke her out of her amazement. She was making her way into the living room when she heard a thud. Hojo was on his knees rubbing his neck gasping for air while InuYasha stood there like nothing happened.

"What happened in here?" she asked accusingly.

"Nothing interesting." InuYasha answered nonchalantly.

"I'm fine, really. I just choked." Hojo said in a harsh whisper.

"Hojo, InuYasha and I will be right back. I just want to look at the master bedroom." Kagome said pulling InuYasha upstairs with her.

When they got upstairs she closed the door and turned to face him.

"You need to calm down. You cannot hurt the realtor. I want to find a house and you are not going to mess this up for us and I am really trying to concentrate on this move so I can have something to do besides sit at home and be bored."

"I don't like the way he looks at you and I'm tempted to ring his scrawny neck…again."

Kagome walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "InuYasha, your jealousy is unfounded, I don't want him. You are the only man I care about and most importantly the only man I love with all my heart. I'm having your baby and we're getting married. And if you want to have more than one child with me then you need to be nice and act like the loving doting carefree fiancé you are when we're at home in our tiny apartment."

"So… be nice or no sex?"

She sighed. "Yes InuYasha."

"Alright."

"I said all of that and all you heard was no sex. Amazing."

"You want me to be carefree" he kissed her on the forehead. "You want me to be doting" he kissed her on the nose. "And you want me to be loving" he kissed her on the lips. "I was listening. I just picked out the most important part." He laughed.

"Ha ha, not funny. Now let's get back down there, I don't want Hojo to think you're going to murder me too." She rolled her eyes.

"This is too quiet for a murder. If I was going to murder you, you wouldn't be quiet you'd be screaming like you were last night when I put my-"

"InuYasha!" Kagome shouted cutting him off. "Downstairs! Now!"

He put his hands up in surrender and walked out of the room. Kagome shook her head and started after him.

Before she made it out of the room a sharp pain shot through her chest. She yelled and dropped to her knees clutching her chest. InuYasha was back in the room within seconds.

"Kagome are you alright?" He asked looking for an injury.

She took a minute to breathe through her mouth. "I'm fine…Just a chest pain."

"Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No, no. I'm fine really. It was just a passing pain."

"I think you need to get that checked out. At least make an appointment."

"I will." Kagome sighed. "You already sound like a daddy. It's cute."

"Yeah, well this is the last house for the day and then we're going home."

"Yes sir."


Over the next month Kagome began to pack up the apartment. She had an appointment with her doctor but forgot to mention the pain she had because she was so busy. Their baby was healthy and it was going to be a girl. Kagome was beyond happy, she always wanted a little girl. InuYasha was ecstatic.

Things had been quiet lately so Kagome decided to go out and grab more boxes that they needed for the move.

She got in her car and headed to the nearest U-Haul store. When she pulled up in the parking lot she noticed a bright red corvette. She had the strangest feeling she saw that car somewhere before.

She went inside and picked up a few large boxes and headed for checkout. When she came to the end of the isle one of the boxes slipped from her grasp and slid a few feet away from her. Someone bent and picked it up before she could make it over there. She looked up into the strangers face and the familiarity of where she saw the car dawned on her.

Kikyo shoved the box back at Kagome. "Moving out? I'm guessing things with InuYasha didn't go as planned." She said while smiling evilly at Kagome.

Kagome smiled pleasantly "Definitely not, we've had our fair share of surprises."

"It must have been the other females that ended your relationship. He just can't seem to stay away from them."

"InuYasha has always been faithful to me. I trust him wholeheartedly."

"Well that doesn't seem very smart now does it little girl."

"Without trust there isn't much of a relationship now is there." Kagome said and started to walk away.

Kikyo followed. "Yes there is. Everybody knows that you can never fully trust a man. It's their very nature to lie, cheat, and break hearts. Don't be so naïve, he's probably still sleeping with his secretary, the girl in the mail room, and the girl that was on the third floor. He gets around. If he did that to me, what do you think he'll do to you? You're just a carbon copy of me except you have this foolishly bad habit of trusting people. InuYasha is bad for your health and if you knew what was good for you you'd stay away from him."

Kagome placed the boxes on the checkout counter and placed a hand on her stomach. "Well then I guess it's a good thing that I've never been too good at listening to idle threats. I will stay with InuYasha and I will trust him until I have a darn good reason not to." She turned to pay for her things. "And now if you excuse us we have things that need to be packed." She grabbed her boxes and turned to leave.

Kikyo grabbed her arm. "One. I don't make idle threats. Two. InuYasha isn't going to stay with you just because you got yourself knocked up. Three. The mention of this baby will haunt you for life."

Kagome shrugged free from her grasp. "The mention of my baby? If you do anything to harm my baby it will be the worst mistake of your life."

"I'm counting on it." Kikyo said as she strolled past Kagome and out of the store.


Kagome went to the park to calm her nerves. She was pissed at Kikyo and of course InuYash went nuts when she called him and told him what happened. She told him to meet her at the park across from the square when he got off work and she would have some food for them.

She looked at the edge of the path and saw the bench that she and InuYasha had lunch on so many months ago. She smiled and shook her head. She loved him more than she thought possible.

She went to a small shop on the corner and ordered two to go bowls of ramen. While she waited for her order she decided to text InuYasha.

I can't wait to see you and hug you. I love you more than I could ever say. She hit send and put her phone back in her purse.

Now she had the urge to pee. Six months pregnant and she had to pee every hour on the hour. Thank goodness for elastic pants.

She went to wait for her food and her phone chimed.

I love you and can't wait to see you either. We should take a bath together so I can make sure you relax properly. She smiled. Relaxation wasn't the only thing on his mind.

Sounds amazing! Are you at the park yet? She asked.

Yes love. Sitting on the bench waiting for you.

She grabbed their food and plastic utensils.

I'll be there in two minutes. She walked out of the restaurant and saw InuYasha sitting on the bench. He closed his eyes and let the wind blow over his face. He looked so peaceful.

She waited until the crosswalk was clear and safe. When she made it halfway across the same excruciating pain made her drop to her knees. She clutched her stomach and chest. She heard the screeching of tires and looked up to see a red corvette flying towards her.

The last thought that went through her head was our baby...
