Disclaimer: I love the only Inuyasha related thing I own. My cute little chibi inu key-chain which lives out its happy life on my iPod making fashion statements everywhere (Ha! Take that Parris Hilton! You want something hot? Then look at my iPod cuz it's so cute and knows how to accessorize.)

The Café In Manahatta

Part Thirty Five

"What do you mean you don't remember?" I practically shouted.

"I don't know! I mean…I was so far gone from everything! I don't remember him stopping to put one on…and I know that I defiantly didn't bring it up…"

"Dammit, Kagome! How could you be so careless?! All it takes is one time to get pregnant! And do you even know his sexual history?"

"He is clean, if that is what you are implying! And it's not like this is a one-night stand! This is Inuyasha!"

"Tell his sperm that! Just because he is your boyfriend doesn't mean that you won't get pregnant! Are you at least on the pill?"

Her guilty look told me everything.

"Kagome…"

"I'm not, ok?" she cried, frustration in her eyes and distress radiating off of her body.

"Why not?" I demanded.

"Because I didn't even think that it was going to happen! It was spontaneous!"

"How could you be so foolish, Kagome?"

"We don't even know if I am! You are probably freaking out over nothing!"

I felt my nostrils flair. How could she have been this stupid? This wasn't something that you did once and it went away. If there was no condom or pill, then chances are my little sister was going to either be getting married in Vegas soon, or her baby was going to be a bastard.

"Get…your…phone…and…call…him." I slowly ground out, clenching my fists to keep from elevating this conversation even more. Chances were the entire café could hear the entire story of my sister's stupidity.

She nodded her head and wiped her eyes from the tears that had begun to fall. I left her alone in my kitchen to give her some measure of privacy, and so that I could clean my glass display case. I took out a bottle of windshield cleaner and sprayed it on the case. It was the same as Windex, but it cost less and you got more for it. I took the paper towel and slowly started wiping it off of the glass.

I could see how it would be easy for Kagome to get lost and forget. I never told her this, but Naraku and I were in the same situation for a while. We forgot to put one on, and for the next few weeks I was scared sick. I thought that maybe we were going to have a kid, but the result was a negative.

It was a happy and sad day for us, but in the end, it was for the best. I don't want Kagome to have to go through the same thing. The same questions of, "Are we going to get married now? Should we move? Can we support a child? Are we ready for this?"

It wasn't something that she needed to ask herself then. She was still young. She had her whole life ahead of her. Yes, she may have thought that Inuyasha was the one, but was he really? A child shouldn't force them to make that decision.

I turned to throw the paper towel in the trashcan and saw Kagome standing in the doorway.

I bit my lip and shoved my hands into the pocket of my apron.

"What did he say?" I whispered, almost afraid to hear the answer.

She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me, leaning her head on my shoulder and squeezing me tight.

I closed my eyes as I felt my heart drop to my stomach, as I hugged her back.

"He put one on."

Suddenly, everything was better.

A/N: Ok….so I know that I left off at like…the WORST moment, but you see…college started THAT day, and I am still adjusting. I'm writing this in class as we speak (won't post till later) waiting for the teacher to show up, and things have been hectic. Anyways…ME SORRY!

I wrote the lemon, so all good in that area. Feel special…I don't normally do them. Check my stats out on that too :-P.

Can people read chapter 33 by the way? It isn't showing up on my netbook…but it could just be the college server and junk…

A quick shout out to Goofy G who is going through some personal shiz. I 3 you and I am here for you whenever you need me (or at least when I am on FB which is a good portion of the time. Stickin' addicting games…).
