Chapter 26: This is not what I had in mind
The next morning, the alarm goes off, but it plays music instead as Kagome begins to wake. Taking her time to get up, one song affects her. In the middle of the song, she gets emotional about what the song was about. She slowly gets out of bed, gets into her closet to get her school uniform. Then she gets to her vanity to do her hair, as usual, down. Inuyasha begins to wake up. "Morning, Inuyasha." Kagome said turning to him. "Hey morning, Kagome." He replied. "You know that I have to go to school today." She said. Inuyasha nodded. "By the way, what's this sound coming from this?" Inuyasha asks, pointing to her stereo. "oh, that my iPod stereo." She explains. "You see, instead of the annoying ring of my previous alarm, I decided to go with this instead." She explains. "It sounds interesting for sure." Inuyasha said. "Hey, can you brush my hair?" Inuyasha asks. Kagome giggles, "Sure." Inuyasha goes to the chair of her vanity. She takes a brush, and gently brushes the tangles out of his hair. Then she gets a comb and gives it to him. "Be sure to comb your bangs, and your 'pigtails' okay." She said. Inuyasha did as he was told. "Thanks Kagome." He said politely to her. "Let's get something to eat." Kagome said as she was about to leave the room. Inuyasha follows her.
After breakfast, Kagome got her school bag, and head outside. "Wait." Inuyasha yelled as he chased her. "What?" Kagome asks. "Get on." He said bending down. Kagome didn't argue, and got onto his back. He jumped from building to building until he reached her school. "I'll be waiting until you're done." He said putting her down to her feet. "What are you going to do for the time being?" Kagome asks him. Inuyasha pulls out her photo album. "I have to memorize your friends if I have to meet them in person." Inuyasha reasons. "Okay, let me right their names down." Kagome said as she writes each of her friends' names by them. "Bye." She said as she opens the door to get inside.
It was the middle of second period, it was math, which Kagome can't stand so much. All she's been during was writing down the notes the teacher displays them on the board for the class to be writing into their notebooks. Until a pain happened in her stomach. 'Please, not right now.' Kagome thought to herself. She raises her hand. "Yes, Miss. Higurashi?" The teacher asks her. "May I use the lav?' She asks. "Sure go on ahead." The teacher lets her leave. Kagome, not to make too much attention to the class, walks until she would not be notice by anyone else in the hallways. She enter the girls lavatory, she takes a good look around, so no other girls were present. She goes into a open stall, looks the door, and starts vomiting. "For me to be pregnant, this is just the beginning." She said to herself. Unaware that another girl comes into the restroom, and heard her, 'So, she's pregnant, eh?" She quietly said, making sure that Kagome didn't heard her. The girl goes into the other open stall, minding her own business, Kagome's business. Kagome flushes the toilet down, exits the stall and heads to the sink. washing her hands, and then leaving the restroom. The girl then starts talking to herself. "So Higurashi is pregnant. I, Merone Dionte, will make her life miserable." She then leaves the restroom and resumes to her class.
The bell rang for the ending of second period. "Finally." Kagome relieve said. As she enters the hallway to get to her locker, Merone comes to her, "I get the word that you're pregnant." She said to her cruelly. Kagome walks away, but as she does, more students keep on talk on talking about her, "Look at the whore." One student said, "What's an idiot." One said. "What a slut." Another said. Kagome couldn't take it anymore. She runs outside of the school, not looking back. Inuyasha on the roof, smells her scent, and her tears, "Kagome?" He said looking down. He jumps off, and then lands not far from behind her. Kagome kept on running leaving the school grounds. "Inuyasha, get me out of here." She cried, then it suddenly started to rain. Inuyasha out runs her, and catches her in his arms. "Kagome…" he said softly. "oh Inuyasha, it was terrible." She cried still. "I'll take you home." He said carrying her on his back.
They returned back, still soaked to the bone, since they didn't had an umbrella with them. Mrs. Higurashi was in the kitchen drinking her tea, until she sees the two, "Back so soon?' She asks. "She's been insulted about being pregnant." Inuyasha sadly explains. The phone rings. Kagome said quietly to Inuyasha, "That must be the school." Seeing the ID on the phone, and it said the school that Kagome goes to. Mrs. Higurashi answers, "Hello, Higurashi residence." On the other line was a man. "Hello Mrs. Higurashi, the is the principal speaking. Have you seen your daughter lately?" He asks. Kagome's mom turned, seeing Kagome doing the slick your throat thing. "No sir, I haven't. What seems to be the problem?" She asks. The principal replies, "It turns out that there's been numerous rumors of her being pregnant. Is it true?" Mrs. Higurashi answers, "Yes it's true, but clearly do you really let those students take advantage of my daughter like that?" She said sternly. The principal starts to reason, "I believe that it's forbidden for any of the female students to be pregnant." Mrs. Higurashi responses, "Then how come you didn't tell me any of this, ever since Kagome attended your school?" The principal lies to her for an answer. "Because we found boys raping young girls, having sex, without the protection." Mrs. Higurashi makes one final offer. "Well, sorry I didn't know any of this, but unfortunately, I cannot let Kagome attend your school, anymore. She has already suffered enough, which could send her to commit suicide." She then hangs up the phone.
Meanwhile, Kagome was in the bathroom, dealing with the morning sickness. Inuyasha was there with her, patting her back. Kagome moans as the pain continues to effect her deeply. The door was knocked. "Who is it?" Kagome asks weakly. "It's me, honey." Answered her mom. "Hold on, mom." Kagome said as Inuyasha helps her up. She opens the door, and he gets her to her room, while her mom follows. "Kagome, I'm afraid you can no longer go to school." She confessed. Kagome didn't seemed surprised, "I had a hunch you'd say that, but why though?" Her mom replies, "The principal just told me about what happened about you being pregnant, and all. What we didn't know, is that any female students who are pregnant are not allowed at all." She added. Kagome looks both happy, and sad at the same time, "Wow, I didn't know any of that at all, mom. But what about my education though?" She asks.
