Love that Dog

Chapter 25

AN: Eh… once again another extremely late chapter. While after school band has ended, school is a really big pain in the ass. I have a favor to ask of you all, please read my new story. With this story coming to an end in the near future (of course with the way I update 5 more chapters could last another seven months) I have been working on a new one. Please read it and make me happy! A happy me means more chapters for you! Thanks for the reviews, here is the chapter.

Hopefully this chapter has more of what you guys want… Er... a bit of a fluff/sappy chapter, but it is my way to make up to you all:)

--Previous Chapter:--

Sango started to panic, he had a key to her room, and she couldn't stop him! Her heart started pounding, she quickly ran to the door with the item in her hand to try and stop Miroku, but it was too late.

The door flew open and Miroku immediately stopped when he saw what was in Sango's hand.

There, down at her side, clenched tightly in her fist, was a Pregnancy test.

--Current Chapter:--

Miroku stared at the pregnancy test that was clutched in Sango's hand long and hard. Sure, he had been thinking that maybe that was what was wrong with Sango, but having to actually come to that conclusion that he was going to be a father… well, let's just say that, that was easier said than done. Everything around him had just zoned out and the only thing that he could see clearly was that pregnancy test. Heck, he didn't even see Sango anymore, it was all just that damned pregnancy test.

Here he was, standing before his fiance, a nervous wreck because she was holding a pregnancy test. He was even too freaked out to speak anything to her. Did this mean that he was going to be a bad husband and friend? Miroku wasn't too sure if this made him seem like a jerk or not. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing would come out.

"Are you alright Miroku?" His fiance asked, concerned about his current mental state. She waved a hand in front of his face, trying to break him out of the strange trance he was in.

She watched as he just stood there with a strange expression on his face. It was an unreadable look that bothered her. How was she supposed to react if she couldn't tell how he felt? Usually people either smiled or frowned, but this… this was just a very blank and dazed stare. What did that mean? What was it supposed to be? Good, or bad? Did she really even want to know?

The next thing she knew, Miroku was on the ground, out cold. Apparently the shock of seeing the pregnancy test was just a little too much for him. Sango quickly threw the pregnancy test on the ground and bent down next to Miroku. She placed her hands on his shoulders and began to lightly shake him, trying to wake him up. "Miroku? Are you alright?"

He didn't budge. At all.

Sango stood up and walked to her bathroom. She wasn't sure how to react to Miroku passing out. What exactly did this mean? There were so many different possibilities and unfortunately, she was going to have to wait till he woke up until she could fully understand. The suspense was going to be the death of her.

After she had arrived in the bathroom, she took one of the small paper cups and filled it up with water, hoping that this might wake him up. He deserved it anyway's. What kind of fiance passes out at the sight of a pregnancy test? Sure they hadn't planned on it, but that didn't mean he needed to faint! She cranked up the temperature to as cold as it would get. Too bad she didn't have a bucket. That would have been more fun.

Once the small cup had been filled to its limits, Sango turned the water off and carefully carried the cup to where Miroku was lying on the ground. There wasn't that much water, but it was cold enough that she hoped it would do the trick.

Just as she was standing right over Miroku, the door to her bedroom suddenly flew open. The cup flew out of Sango's hand and landed on top of Miroku's face, covering it in freezing cold water. Meanwhile, Kagome ran over to Sango who had jumped and stumbled backwards from Kagome's sudden intrusion. She had managed to trip over her feet and was sitting on the ground, wincing from her sudden drop and landing on her tailbone.

"Ahhh! I'm so sorry Sango!" Kagome quickly kneeled down next to her friend, disregarding the fact that there was an unread pregnancy test and an unconscious Miroku on the ground right next to her feet.

Sango shook her head. "Don't worry Kagome, its okay; I just fell on my bottom, that's all. You just surprised me, that's all." She noticed that Kagome wasn't wet. "I thought that you were going down to the pool."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Yeah well, Inu Yasha and Koga were in the pool fighting and I didn't exactly feel like getting splashed. It's a mess down there…"

She went on discussing the fight between Inu Yasha and Koga, but Sango couldn't seem to pay attention. Her eyes kept glancing back and forth between Miroku and the pregnancy test. Miroku hadn't waken up yet and she still didn't know whether or not she was pregnant. There were all of these distractions, she just couldn't get a moments peace!

As Kagome continued to talk, her eyes eventually landed on Sango who was staring past her at something on the ground. Her mouth immediately closed and she stared at Sango trying to figure out what she was staring at. Kagome waited for Sango to say something, but she never did. Sango's concentration was so focused on what she was staring at, that she didn't even realize Kagome stopped talking.

Kagome's eyes went wide when she realized what Sango had been staring at. "S-Sango? Are you pregnant?"

"I don't know…" She managed to whisper out of her mouth. The test was too far away from her to tell what the answer was. Sango wasn't too sure why she was just sitting there and not getting up to go get it. Her body just wouldn't move it was like someone poured concrete around her legs.

"And uh…" Kagome stared over at Miroku who was out cold, "What happened to him?"

Sango inhaled suddenly. The thought made her cringe. "He came into my room while I was holding the pregnancy test, he saw the test, didn't say anything, and then he just fainted, all without saying a word. That stupid bastard!" Her eyes began to fill up with tears. "Now I am stuck here too afraid to look at my own pregnancy test which I had to barrow from your mother! He's such a jerk; don't you think he would have noticed by now that I was acting strange?"

Kagome caught something out of the corner of her eye. "Uh… Sango, haven't you ragged on Miroku enough?"

She quickly shook her head. "No!" Sango took her hand and wiped the tears from her yes. With her eyes closed, the bright lights in the room were irritating her eyes, she continued to cry and insult Miroku some more. "What kind of fiancée is he? Hell, he doesn't know anything! He doesn't realize how against premarital sex my parents are, even if I am engaged! Not to mention it has been over twenty fucking minutes since I took that damn pregnancy test and I don't even know if I'm-"

It was moments like these that made her melt. Sango was one who never liked things to happen suddenly or abruptly, but this time it was different. The whole world vanished around her because Miroku was holding her tightly and had to of been giving her one of the most passionate kisses he had ever given her. At first, she didn't realized what was happening, and for a moment thought that Kagome might have been kissing her, which kinda freaked her out, but after she opened her eyes, she saw Miroku's violet eyes staring down at her which caused her face to turn a dark red.

How long had it been since they were this intimate? They hadn't kissed like this since the night they well… did it. She had brought her arms around him and was clinging to the material on his back. Her body began to shudder as he began nipping at her bottom lip with his mouth. Sango took one hand off of Miroku's shirt to try and feel around for the pregnancy test, but Miroku's hand immediately met up with hers and held it tightly.

Sango felt Miroku smile against her mouth. Her eyes quickly flew open and were met by Miroku's. She gave him the 'are you saying what I think you're saying' look and waited for his response. Once he realized what she was indirectly asking him, he quickly nodded and let out a small yelp as Sango quickly pushed Miroku down onto the ground and began smothering him in kisses.

"S-Sango, shouldn't we stop?"

She stared at him in disbelief, "You want to stop?"

He paused for a moment, "Well… no-"

Sango forced him quiet and from there, the rest was history.

(Quick author's note: Do you realize what just happened? Incase you didn't catch it, Sango is pregnant)

Kagome chuckled as she walked away from Sango's room. They were so cute together. She was also extremely happy after catching the results of the pregnancy test on her way out of the room. How exciting was this? Miroku and Sango were going to be parents! Kagome squealed as she thought about little Sango's and Miroku's running around. Oh how she couldn't wait for that day to come.

She walked over to her room and was about ready to open the door when a hand suddenly slammed against the door making her jump and quickly turn around.

"Inu Yasha?" She stared at him worriedly. "What happened to you?" He was a mess! There were leaves in his hair, along with many cuts and bruises all over his body.

He stared at her as if she were stupid. "What do you think happened!" She had just been outside, did she forget so suddenly?

Kagome glared at him. "You did that fighting with Koga? What the hell were you thinking! Of course with you two, I guess I shouldn't be surprised!" She pushed her door open, wanting to go in and take a nap.

"H-Hey! Where the hell do you think you're going?" Inu Yasha shouted after her.

Kagome turned around, "What do you mean? I'm going to my room. Do you have a problem with that?"

He stumbled on his words. "Well I- no, I mean yes- Oh for the love of kami, would you just help me damn it!"

"Help you with what? All you have are little scratches; there isn't much I can do to help you about that."

Inu Yasha turned and pointed to his back which had a large gash running down it that was covered in blood. "I can't exactly reach my back. Care to help now?"

Kagome quickly lashed out and grabbed his hand and pulled him into the room.

Inu Yasha sat on the bed as Kagome walked into her bathroom to get her first aid kit. He looked around and observed Kagome's room. It wasn't very feminine. The walls were painted a light shade of blue and except for a small mirror above her vanity, her walls were bare. She hadn't been there to decorate the room, but why didn't her mother make it more girly? He had been in Souta's room the night before playing video games and his room was like a video game paradise. Maybe Kagome just wasn't very… well, girly.

Kagome walked out of her bathroom, returning with a small kit in one had and a bottle of antiseptic and a damp cloth in another. She set the items on her bed then spoke quietly. "Turn around so I can look at your back…" He complied with her orders and she winced as she saw the large gash on his back. She took the cloth and began to lightly dab the area around the wound to remove any of the dried blood.

"Ouch! That hurt! What the hell are you doing woman?"

She pushed the towel down hard on his wound, making his muscles tighten. "Damn it woman, seriously, what are you-" He stopped as he saw the fear in his eyes when he turned his upper body to look back at her.

Why was there fear in her eyes? He moved back around so she could continue fixing his back. That look… he'd never seen anyone give him that look before. The look of fear, fear that he was seriously hurt or something bad had happened to him. This look gave him a weird feeling. When was the last time a person had actually cared about his well-being? Hell, when was the last time someone acutally cared about him at all?

He was confused on how to react. Did he just totally ignore the look Kagome had just given him, or should he say something about it to her? Kami, he was such a bad people person. They should have taught something like this in school. Wasn't communicating with others important?

"How…" She paused, "How did he do that to you?"

"Keh."

Kagome pressed down harder on his cut. "Tell me."

He continued to refuse. "Why should I have to tell you anything?"

She withdrew the towel from his back, and then with all her strength slapped the wet cloth on his back. "Are you going to tell me now?"

"Gahhhh! What the fuck? That hurt woman!"

"Tell me!"

Inu Yasha crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Fine you damn bitch… I was walking out of that fucking pool after fighting with the stupid idiot. I was climbing up the ladder when he told me to stay away from you, then all told him to do was to shut fuck up. The next thing I know, he's pulled a loose tile off of the pool and is cutting me in the back!"

Kagome couldn't believe what Koga did to Inu Yasha. "That's terrible! Common, he had to of said something else or you had to have done something different. He wouldn't just do that, would he?"

"Hell if I'd know…" He grumbled under his breath. "Moron… Even if I will heal in an hour, that still gave him no excuse to cut me in the back!"

She stopped.

"That's right!" Kagome threw the bloody cloth on the ground. "Why do you need my help if you are going to heal in an hour? It must not be that bad then! You made me think that you were seriously hurt!" She began packing back up her first aid kit, then stood up and began heading back to her bathroom to put everything away that she had just gotten out.

Inu Yasha jumped off the bed. "Come on wench, just listen to me. Why do you have to get all moody?" He walked into the bathroom and watched as she put the box away, then marched over to where he was standing.

"I was worried about you!" She swallowed, trying to hold back her tears. "I care for one moment when you ask for my help, and then it turns out you'll only need the bandages on for an hour? Do you find this amusing?"

"Wench, just listen-"

Kagome slapped him, ignoring his shocked reaction. "I have a name you know! Incase you forgot, its Kagome. K-a-g-o-m-e. I think you could at least call me by my name." She wiped away tears out of the corners of her eyes. Damn hormones were making her make a fool of herself. What a great situation she was in.

She looked up at Inu Yasha and was astounded. He was staring at her with so much emotion. What on earth was going on through his head? Maybe him and Koga were fighting a little took hard. Inu Yasha had never looked at her like that; in fact, she didn't think that he'd looked at anyone like that before. What on earth was going on?

A clawed hand gently reached up and cupped the side of Kagome's face and wiped the tears out of her eyes. "Please… Don't cry, Kagome."

Before she could react, he brought his head down and gently pressed his lips against her own. Her heart began to race. How did this happen? Inu Yasha was kissing her! Never in a thousand years did she picture this happening. What came over him? He placed his hand on her shoulder, affectionately pulling her closer to him. There was a warm feeling deep inside her chest that made her desire more from him. Was this why when Miroku and Sango kissed they did it so much? Did it always feel this good?

She gave up trying to answer unanswerable questions and to the delight on Inu Yasha, she began to kiss him back. Inu Yasha, sensing her uncertainty, took his hand off of her shoulder and gently held one of her hands. This made Kagome want to explode. The sensation of him kissing her and holding her hand was almost too much to handle. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before. He began to kiss her deeper until he parted his mouth and began teasing her bottom lip with his tongue, trying to grant access inside of her mouth.

'What the hell is he doing?' Kagome thought to herself. 'He's trying to stick his tongue into my mouth! That's- that's disgusting!'

Kagome pulled back slightly. "Inu Yasha, what are you-"

He took advantage of Kagome's open mouth brought his lips back on top of hers and caressing the inside of Kagome's mouth. Kagome was now officially freaked out. Scene's liked this happened all the time in movies, guy kisses girl, guy and girl make out by sticking their tongue's down each other's throats. However, in reality, it just seemed so much different. The needed to teach this stuff in school, kissing is an important part of everyday life, and Kagome was clueless as to what was going on.

She wondered what her face must look like. Kagome quickly opened her eyes only to be met by Inu Yasha's, after seeing him, she quickly closed her eyes again. He let go of Kagome's hand and brought both of his hands to her face. Inu Yasha began to kiss her harder and more passionately until he finally pulled away and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Kagome… I've waited so long…"

Ayame nervously stepped up to the gate of the Higurashi household. It was very intimidating and made her feel low when she thought about her small, one bed-room apartment waiting for her when she was finished. She wondered how she was supposed to get into the house. All there she could see was the large gate in front of her. Where was the security guard? Certainly there was someone who controlled the gate from the outside.

"H-hello?" She nervously asked hoping that there was someone around who head her.

There was a tiny ring and she saw a phone next to the security camera. Hesitant, she walked over to the phone and slowly picked it up after it had rung again. "Umm… hello?"

"Please state who you are here to see."

She was amazed. They had a voice automated security system? This machine knew who was in the house and who wasn't. How much money did this family have? "I want to see Koga."

There was a long pause, and then the automated male voice replied. "There is no Koga living here. Please leave immediately."

Ayame was sure that Koga lived here. Wasn't he staying with Kagome and the others? Maybe they had gone home already… Her heart sunk. All this way and he wasn't there after all. Everything was going from bad to worse. What else could end up happening? She figured that she might as well go home. If they had enough for the security system, then she figured that it probably knew what it was talking about.

Suddenly a loud beeping noise came from the phone. "Please hang up the phone and step away from the property. Failure to comply will result in immediate arrest. Please leave the property in the next five minutes or the authorities will be contacted. Thank you and have a nice day."

"What a crazy security system…" She mumbled to herself. Still determined that she was going to find Koga, she decided that if the gate wouldn't let her in, then she would just have to find her own way in.

Without thought, she stepped off of the path and began to walk along the twelve-foot high iron cast fence. The bars were spaced too close together for her to try and squeeze through and they were also too high for her to try and climb. There had to be some place where she could get in. Ayame eyed the top of the bars which came to a sharp, fine point at the top. It would definitely not be smart to try and jump over the fence unless she didn't mind becoming a human shish kabob

Ayame continued to walk the perimeter of the fence, staring at everything inside of the gate. It was a marvelous house, more amazing than any house she had ever seen on TV before. What luxury it must be to live in there, with everyone taking care of you. She had often dreamed of living in a house, no a castle like that. How envious she was.

As she continued, she began to hear water up ahead of her. Did they even have a waterfall too? This was getting to be ridiculous, from the tennis courts to the outdoor spa, didn't these people have enough? She turned the corner and she finally came to the waterfall which was at least ten feet high and was flowing water into the gigantic pool below, and what a pool it was. There was even a swim up bar and a Jacuzzi off to the side! It was all amazing.

Not long after, she saw it, there was a section of the gate where the top posts were missing, and there was a tree limb that reached over to the gate and would allow her to climb down the opposite side of the fence. When she was a child, she was an expert at climbing trees. It had to be just like riding a bike; she couldn't possibly forget how to climb a tree.

Quickly, she ran over to the tree and looked up. This couldn't be that hard. There were a lot of bottom branches, and the tree had many jagged parts where she could end up placing her feet on to push her up higher. Taking a deep breath, she placed one hand on a small lump on the tree and began to pull herself up. She then slowly began climbing up the tree, one small step at a time.

After five minutes of climbing, her body gave in and peered down. Now she was scared. It looked like such a long way down, and she didn't want to go any further. What on earth was she going to do? Unable to hold on any longer, she lifted herself up onto a branch that looked like it would be able to support her weight. When she finished getting settled, she looked down again and swallowed. This wasn't good. Not only was she too chicken to continue down the branch to go climb down the gate, she was in all just too afraid to move.

Her eyes quickly looked around for a sign of anyone. There was no one in the pool area, even though it was quite a mess and looked like someone had been there not too long ago. All of the windows facing the tree had the blinds closed which meant that no one would be able to see her. How was a situation like this possible?

Tears began forming, and eventually she broke down crying, "Someone help me!" She yelled. "I'm stuck!"

As she figured, there was no sign of anybody. Wasn't this the part where her knight and shinning armor was supposed to come rescue her from the tree? Of course, if someone did find her, they would most likely turn her in to the police for trespassing. However she had to admit that sitting in jail would be must better than sitting in some stupid tree all night.

She scooted back against the tree when there was a loud crack. The branch she was sitting on began to bend, and she could hear the bark of the tree begin to snap. This was definitely not good. She was at least eleven feet off of the ground. If she fell, she knew that she would either seriously injure herself, or if she fell the wrong way, she could even die…

"HELP!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Why wasn't there anyone to save her? This couldn't possibly be the end, it was way too soon.

Ayame tried to stand up, but as soon as she was on to feet, the branch gave way, and she fell forward, head first towards the ground, with no one around to save her.

Sometimes, things just don't work out like they do in the movies.

TBC!

Yay, I finished the chapter. :) Hmmm… I don't think that's a cliffhanger. PLEASE go check out my other story; I need to know if it is worth continuing after Love that Dog is completed. Thank you very much for reading, and I hope to hear from you, and with review responses I can respond to you as well! THANK YOU! ;)
