Whew! To my loyal readers, I have put you guys through so many delays! I am so sorry, but this time it wasnt my fault. I havn't had internet for a while nd couldn't update.

Chapter 13

Sleep-over

Kagome was restless the next day at school. She couldn't concentrate on anything the teachers were saying. The previous night just kept replaying in her mind. So he does love me, at least that was what he said. I should be happy right? I've been waiting for him to say it for so long but…it wasn't exactly as I imagined. I always envisioned him admitting his love surely to only me with no Kikyou holding him back. She sighed. I just can't enjoy it.

Unconsciously, Kagome leaned back in her chair with a hand on her stomach. She looked over to Inuyasha sitting next to her. He was writing down everything the teacher was saying. Huh, I didn't know would like school so much.

Inuyasha felt Kagome's eyes on him. When he looked up at her, her face grew pink. He smirked, thinking to himself about how adorable she looked with that blush. Suddenly, he felt an angry aura from the other side of the room.

Kagome had felt it too. She and Inuyasha found Kimiko glaring angrily at her. Then Kimiko shifted her gaze to Inuyasha, who raised one brow curiously. Kimiko winked and blew him a not-so-innocent kiss.

He felt Kagome's aura flair. Luckily at that time the bell rang and Inuyasha ran out before all hell could break loose.

During lunch, Inuyasha sat next to Kagome eating from her bento box. She didn't seem to mind, but he didn't eat much, knowing that Kagome was now eating for two. He didn't pay much attention to the conversations the girls were having, only because he could help but notice Kimiko's endless stare. Every time he looked back, she was looking at him, wanting him. And he was disgusted.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" Kagome waved a hand in front of his face.

Inuyasha swallowed and lifted his brows. "Yeah, what do you want," he asked, hoping he didn't sound to irritated.

Kagome scrunched her face. "You didn't hear anything, did you?"

"Hear what?" She narrowed her eyes and he sighed. "Sorry, Kimiko won't stop staring at me." All five turned to see Kimiko. There was a ho-ish smugness about her that made everyone cringe. Inuyasha cleared his throat, getting the girl's attention. "Anyway…what's going on now?"

"We want to sleep over tonight," Yuka said.

Inuyasha shrugged. "So?"

"Kagome wants to tell us something," Eri added.

Inuyasha looked at her, confused. "Why can't she tell you now?"

"It's a secret," Kagome answered stiffly. She nudged him with her knee.

That's when he realized what secret she was going to tell. His eyes flickered to her stomach, then her eyes. He sighed. "Are you asking permission if you guys can come over? Why do you need my say-so?"

"Well actually, we need moms say so," Said Kagome.

"But we wanted to make sure you were okay with it since you live there now," said Ayumi.

"Fine, whatever. Just don't scream and be all loud and stuff."

"Awe," Eri whined. "You're no fun."

"You know what?" Inuyasha leaned forward on the table lazily. "I've got a secret to tell you guys too. But can I trust you?" He smiled at Kagome, hoping she would understand.

She did, and visually gave him a clear are-you-nuts look. Why would he tell them that? It's not like he's obligated…maybe he's sick of keeping it such a secret here. I know I'd be sick of keeping who I really am a secret. His secret, he can do what he wants with it.

He winked at her.

Inuyasha and the girls had stopped thinking about Kimiko for a while, but the pleasure was short lived.

Near the end of lunch, Kimiko squeezed herself in between Inuyasha and Kagome. The group glared at her and Inuyasha sighed heavily, frowning.

Kimiko sat facing Inuyasha, her back toward Kagome who wanted to stab her chopsticks into it. "You don't look very happy to see me."

"I'm not," Inuyasha said grumpily. He crossed his arms over his chest. One brow arched up when he felt her hand creep up his thigh, heading dangerously close to an area he didn't want her to infect.

"Hmm," She pouted. "That's too bad. I was so looking forward to our date. I was thinking you can take me to the drive in and we can have a little fun in the back of the car."

Inuyasha didn't understand what she meant by that. He had no idea how anyone can have fun in a car! He also didn't know what a date was but he did know he didn't want to have any fun with this girl in any shape or form. Lazily, he lifted her hand from his thigh and glared at her. "Woman, I don't want to do anything with you. I don't even want you near me. You reek of perfume and you look like a circus freak. Could'ya just leave me the hell alone?"

Kimiko scowled at the insult for a moment, and then smirked. She always learned that boys like when they can do our say whatever they want to a woman and that insults was a way of showing that they liked a girl. She'd get him. "Alright, not tonight, but soon." She left the table, holding her chin up high.

Inuyasha rubbed his forehead and then looked up at the girls who were all smiling. "What? She was getting on my nerves."

Kagome leaned against the kitchen counter as she talked to her layer on the phone. They were discussing the next date for an interrogation, although Kagome didn't particularly want to see Akio again. Aparently now that the test results were sent in as positive, the matter could be discussed further. Inuyasha was standing in front of her, listening in on the conversation.

"Ok, thanks, bye." Kagome hung up the phone. She smiled up at Inuyasha; her eyes telling him that she was tired and ready to be done with the whole thing. He gently brushed her stray hair away from her face.

Kasumi came walking up to them, "So what did they say?"

Kagome sighed and faced her mother. "The results came back and they want to talk more about it. We don't have a date yet."

Kasumi put a hand on her daughters shoulder. "What do you want to do with the baby," she whispered.

Kagome's eyes shifted to Inuyasha and bit her lip. "Well, I want to keep it but, I don't know if I can. I have Naraku to worry about still, and school, and Shippo, and I'll have to get a job."

"Oh, don't worry about the job thing. Gramps and I can support you until your business in the feudal era is done. As for school, maybe you should look into online classes. You know, you can do your work whenever is convenient for you."

Kagome smiled and gave her mother a hug. "Thanks mama. It won't be long, I promise."

"Good good." Kasumi gave Kagome a kiss on the cheek. "In the mean time, I have grandbaby shopping to do!" She left the kitchen and Kagome followed.

"What? How can you go shopping? We don't know if it's a girl or boy yet?"

Kasumi waved a hand as she grabbed her purse. "Oh, hunny, there are neutral things for little babies out there. Souta, lets go! We're going shopping for the baby!"

Within seconds, Souta came bounding down the stairs, fully dressed and ready to go. He put his shoes on at the door yelling, "Yay! I'm going to be an uncle!" He looked up at Kagome. "Thank you for keeping it, sis."

Kagome was going to say something but Kasumi was rushing her son out of the door. "Gramps is in his room. We'll be back in a few hours."

Kagome was left standing a little dazed and confused. She went back into the kitchen looking for Inuyasha, but he wasn't there. She pouted. She wanted to hug him right then and smell his natural woodsy scent.

Kagome climbed up the stairs and into her room, and then sat down at her desk. I guess I'll start making a list for the baby. She began listing all the necessities for the baby. She hadn't realized that Inuyasha was standing behind her until he leaned forward, putting both hand on the desk.

She gasped in surprise. "Don't scare me like that."

He moved back and she heard him chuckle. "Sorry"

Kagome stood up and faced him, smiling shyly. "Mama and Souta went to pick up stuff for the baby. I told them I'd keep it."

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her. "Is that so?"

"Yea, she said she'll help me out until I'm done with Naraku. Then I can get a job and look into online classes?" She shook her head at his confused expression. "It'll make being a mom easier on me." Boy, that felt weird to say.

Inuyasha smiled. "Good, well your friends should be here soon."

"Hey, they're your friends too," She argued.

He shrugged, "Only when they're not giggling and screaming like little girls."

"They are girls."

"Not little ones," He said childishly.

Kagome giggled and leaned in to kiss Inuyasha on the cheek.

Slightly shocked, he asked, "What was that for?"

She looked away, blushing. For being here for me this whole time. I don't think I would've gotten this far without you."

Inuyasha smirked and tilted her chin. He leaned in and just as their lips touched, a few coughs for attention were heard by the bedroom door.

"Let's play Truth or Dare," Ayumi suggested.

Inuyasha grabbed another slice of pizza. "What's Truth or Dare?"

All but Kagome looked at him as if he was stupid. "It's a game when one person asks another to choose truth or dare. When you choose truth, you have to answer someone's question truthfully..and not lie." Kagome gave him a look. She knew he was good for lying. "When you choose dare, you have to do whatever that person tells you to do. The person, who was questioned, gets to ask next. The only problem is, when it comes to truth or dare, these girls lose their innocence."

"Um, ok." Inuyasha was thinking that the game was kind of silly, but he was interested to see what Kagome meant.

"Ok, I'll go first," Ayumi volunteered. "Eri, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare!"

"Ok, um, I dare you to...do a cartwheel," she said with a mischievous smirk.

Eri blushed. "I can't do that! I'm wearing a skirt! Inuyasha's here, he'll see my undies!"

Inuyasha's eyes widened.

Ayumi shook her head. "Doesn't matter. Cartwheel now missy."

Eri pouted as she stood and found a space. As she was upside down, her skirt slipped down, showing her red thong.

All the girls laughed, and when they saw Inuyasha's mouth wide open in shock, they laughed even harder.

Eri sat back down and pretended that nothing happened. "Yuka, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Wimp. Did you or did you not hook up with Kenji last week?"

Kagome's eyes shot open.

Yuka bowed her head in embarrassment. "I did."

The girls burst into shocked screams.

"What? No way," Kagome yelled.

Under his bandana, Inuyasha's ears began to ring.

"Kagome," Yuka started. "Truth or dare?"

"Umm…truth?"

"Oh, c'mon," Eri whined.

"Did you like hooking up with Mr. Akio?"

Kagome frowned. "How did you guys find out about that?"

"The whole school knows, but not many people believe it. We only believe it because Hojo told us."

Hojo? How did Hojo find out? Kagome asked herself.

"Well," Kagome sighed. "No I didn't really like it…"

"Did it hurt because it was your first time," Eri asked.

"Or was he just too small," Yuka added.

"Eri, you're sort of on the right track."

Ayumi sensed something wasn't right. "What is it Kagome?"

"He…raped me."

"WHAT!" The girls yelled in unison. Inuyasha couldn't help but to put his hands over his ears.

"No he didn't," Yuka yelled angrily.

"Is that why he hasn't been to school," asked Ayumi.

Kagome nodded. "He's in jail. He was actually wanted for different rapes all over the country."

Eri gasped, "No way!"

"There's more," Inuyasha added. He nodded at Kagome.

"I'm pregnant."

Inuyasha expected more screaming, but surprisingly, they were silent.

"We're really sorry," Ayumi said.

Kagome shook her head. "Don't be. There's nothing more that can be done. I'm keeping it. You guys can be auntie Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka."

The girls smiled.

"There's something else," Inuyasha said.

"I don't know if we can handle any more."

"You have to keep it a secret."

"OKAY!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Then slowly took off his bandana and let his ears swivel freely. "I'm a half demon."

Wide eyes focused on his doggy ears. And here it comes.

"AHHH THEY'RE SO CUUUTE!"

The girls jumped on him trying to get to his ears.

"So you guys are okay with this?"

Ayumi was the first to recover. "Of course. What would be the point in throwing away a friendship. It's not like his personality is different. He's a good half demon."

Eri and Yuka were still fussing over the ears.

"Kagome! Get them off!"

All of the girls laid sprawled out on Kagome's bedroom floor while Inuyasha sat comfortably, without something to cover his ears, beside Kagome's head. His fingers slid through her silky hair as he thought about the day's events. He was surprised by the trust he found in Kagome's modern friends. He was usually so cautious about letting people know he was a half demon, but he had found himself wanting some friends from her time.

Inuyasha stood up and opened the window, first sniffing around to make sure that the house was safe. Kasumi and Souta came back a few hours before the girls got there, but hadn't shown Kagome what she bought. He climbed onto a tree limb, closed the window and jumped down. There was still plenty more construction to do on Kagome's Feudal home.

I don't know when I'll be able to get on the internet again, but I want you guys to know that I'm working on next chapter and I'm into the story again! 3
