Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!
A/N: Hey all! I'm not going to be able to update because I'll be helping my sister move into her new house! Plus, I'll be staying the night. (She's afraid to be alone, plus I think she'll need help with her kids.) Anyway, I'll be bringing LOTS, LOTS, LOTS of paper. Meaning, I PROMISE YOU ALL, Incurable Therapy will be done when I get back. They'll be an ALL-DAY updating. Plus, if I finish Incurable Therapy there, I'll start on Journalistically Captured…then Future Scar. If I finish those-I'm a fast writer-I'll be working on something new! Sorry for the inconvenience! So Sorry! Seriously!!
Title: Incurable Therapy
Chapter Thirty-Six: Emergency Check-Up
--
"Kagome, get up!" yelled Inuyasha.
She smacked his hand away from her shoulder, "Stop it! Jeez!"
"Sachji's not eating!" he yelled, shaking her more viciously.
She yelled, "Alright, alright! STOP SHAKING ME!"
He stopped. Kagome sat up, glaring at Inuyasha. She raised an eyebrow when she saw there was the baby food on his face. Inuyasha grumbled,
"He through it at me."
Kagome started laughing, standing, shaking her head. She made her way out the room, Inuyasha following. Grumbling as well. When they went into the kitchen, Sachji was banging on the high chair thing. Crying.
She crossed her arms,
"Someone's in a bad mood this morning. I wonder where he gets his attitude from. Wow…that's a tough one. Going to have to think on it."
"Ha ha, not funny." he grumbled.
Kagome picked up Sachji, grabbed the food, a cloth, then went into the living room. She sat him in the corner of the couch and fed him the food. No problem. Inuyasha was looking at Kagome and Sachji with a frown.
When she finished, she cleaned his face and put him on the floor. Letting him play with his toys. She pretended to dust her hands off,
"Easy."
"Whatever."
Kagome laughed, "Don't be so afraid to feed him."
"It's not MY fault I have no experience with kids." he defended.
She rolled her eyes, "Whatever Inuyasha."
Inuyasha crossed his arms. She looked at the time,
"Jeez, wow! I slept until two!"
"Yeah, taking a break, making me do all the work." he grumbled.
Kagome glared at him, before she could say anything (as always), the phone rung. She skipped over to it, and picked it up,
"Hello?"
"Hey dear, you do realize Thanksgiving is tomorrow right?" came Mai's voice.
Kagome yawned, "Yeah, I know."
"Are you just waking up?" she asked.
Kagome watching Inuyasha mimic her to Sachji, who in return laughed, and made her frown,
"Yeah, I think Inuyasha drugged me. I'll be sure to tell Izayoi."
Soon as he turned around to yell 'hey', Kagome had chunked a pillow from the couch at him. Sachji squealed and Kagome laughed. Mai laughed on the other side,
"Isn't it about that time to get check? I'm worried about you Kagome. You've been sleeping a lot haven't you? I knew this was a bad idea!"
"Mom! Calm down, I'm fine." assured Kagome.
She took a breath, "I can't help but worry, you know I love you Kagome."
"I know, I love you too." she replied, for some reason feeling a weight being lifted…was she unsure about that?
Mai changed the subject, "Izayoi, and the other girls are going to be at the Takahashi house. Cooking up a storm. We need you there."
"Alright, but what about the boys?" she asked, frowning.
Her mother giggled, already seeing her daughters face, "They need some time away from us nagging females. Don't you agree?"
"Nah, I don't agree." she grumbled. "Certain men can't keep their lips to themselves."
Inuyasha smirked at her and blinked at her innocently. Mai laughed again,
"Yeah, the real thing is…us women need some gossip time."
"Oh, okay, I get it. Then let's twist this up a bit. Let's have the GUYS cook and us go out. Sound like a plan?" asked Kagome.
Inuyasha frowned at that. Her mother laughed, sounding like she was having a hard time breathing,
"Oh, dear! That's a good one! That'd burn Izayoi's beautiful house down!"
"Haha! Yeah, that's right! Us women rule!" chirped Kagome, sticking a tongue at him while he glared.
She sighed into the phone, "Well I'll meet you there. I need for you to stop by and get pepper, okay?"
"Alright, and mom…tell dad to behave around Souta, Zane, and Akita. I'm serious. Same thing for thanksgiving. I know you two are still angry about the little 'take Kagome to USA' thing, but you remember what I told you!"
Mai retorted, "Alright, alright! Calm down. I already made Yasuo promise. Alright?"
"Alright. Meet you at Izayoi's. Bye."
Kagome hung up and huffed. He smirked at her,
"Time to get cooking?"
"Inuyasha, if a policemen ends up escorting you back to the house you're sleeping on the couch until Christmas." glared Kagome, walking over to Sachji, picking him and smiling like an angel. "Alright Sach…time for a bath."
Inuyasha sighed and watched her turn the corner. Thinking to himself,
"Sachji's attached to Kagome. Sure hope he realizes that isn't his mother. I wonder if Kikyo's alright."
He got up, grabbed the wireless phone, and called her cell.
In The Bathroom
The bathroom was smelling sweet, like that vapor baby bath stuff. Kagome cleaned Sachji until he was practically shining like glass. After cleaning him about six times (neat freak? Lol), she grabbed a towel and wrapped him in it.
Draining the water before living the bathroom. She dried Sachji off, dressed then clapped her hands together,
"You're all clean and ready to go!"
Sachji rolled from left to right. While also trying to grab his feet, babbling something she couldn't understand. Kagome squealed,
"You're so cute!"
She picked him up and kissed him on the cheek. Kagome walked back into the living room to see Inuyasha hanging the phone up. She asked,
"Who yah talking too?"
"Kikyo, just seeing if she was alright." he grumbled, tossing the phone on the sofa.
Kagome asked, "Well…is she…alright?"
"Yeah, she doesn't sound like she did when I last talked to her. It might be a while before she comes to see Sachji, she scared she might take her frustration out on him." he explained.
Kagome's response was, "Hm."
"Um, so you want me to watch Sachji while you take a shower?" he asked, taking him off her hands.
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, be out soon."
She made her way back to the room, take a shower. When she got out, Kagome out on a black tank top and black low-rise jeans. Along with her boots and gray jacket. Soon as she was finished, Kagome had sat down just for a minute…soon passing out on the bed. In a deep sleep.
Forty-Minutes Later
Inuyasha had begun to get worried and entered the room, laying Sachji on the bed beside Kagome. He pushed Kagome's bangs from her face,
"Kagome, wake up."
"Inuyasha!" she complained.
Inuyasha was getting worried, Mai was right…she's been sleeping to much,
"Kagome, get up. Your mother and mine aren't going to be happy you're trying to avoid cooking with them."
"Oh! I forgot!" she exclaimed, shooting up, eyes wide.
Inuyasha asked, "Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah, why would there be something wrong?" she said, standing, losing her balancing…falling to the floor.
Inuyasha caught her, "Kagome!"
"I just tripped, calm down Inuyasha." she huffed, pulling away, and picking up Sachji.
Inuyasha grabbed the keys from the nightstand, "Ready?"
"Yeah." she nodded, handing him Sachji. "I'm going to use the bathroom real quick though."
Inuyasha nodded then left. Kagome walked into the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror. She looked just fine. Not pale, her skin actually tanned over the whole diet thing, and her hair was jet black-stopping at the mid of her back-, and she hasn't felt ANY pain what so ever since she got those pills form Gai.
She splashed some water on her face, dried off then left. Grabbing a pill and a bottle of water on her way.
Izayoi's Place
"He's so cute!" squeaked Sango, holding Sachji.
Kagome smiled, "Have fun Inuyasha, and like I said…if you're escorted by an policemen…the couch."
"Fine." he grumbled, pulling her closer by the waist, capturing her lips into a passionate-almost heated-kiss.
Kagome tangled her fingers in his silver hair. Miroku's sly voice came,
"Now, now! There's a child in the house. This isn't the time to be getting fresh."
They pulled away and glared at him. He laughed,
"Shall we be on our way?"
Bankotsu came out the kitchen, "Let's go! These ladies are smothering me!"
"Yeah, totally agree!" said Souta, leaning against the wall.
Sesshomaru shook his head, not saying anything. Inuyasha laughed,
"I know what you mean."
"Oh do you!" exclaimed Kagome, taking Sachji when Sango handed him to her, rolling up her sleeve.
Miroku laughed nervously, "Ha…haha."
"So it's like that is it?" asked Rogue, frowning at Bankotsu.
Hitomi, Kagome, Rogue, and Sango frowned at them. Sachji frowned at the men,
"BAA!"
He waved his hand at Inuyasha, not looking happy. This made all the girls squeal, surrounding Kagome with Sachji. Inuyasha pouted, crossing his arms. Kouga laughed,
"I never thought you'd get your woman stolen this way mutt face."
"Shut it you leech infested wolf." retorted Inuyasha, smirking when Kouga glared.
Izayoi came in and clapped, pushing InuTaisho out the kitchen, "Alright! Out with you all!"
The men got shoved out. Inuyasha, Miroku, Bankotsu, Sesshomaru, InuTaisho, Yasuo, Zane, and Akita. Leaving the girls and the kids: Kagome, Sango, Kagura, Rogue, Izayoi, Mai, Shippo, Sachji, and Rin. They all crowded in the kitchen.
Kagome had Sachji take a nape, Shippo played video games, Rin asking any question she thought. The house soon smelled like many different aromas of FOOD. Izayoi and Mai had to smack Sango, Kagome, and Rogue's hands when they tried to sneak some. Mai smiled when everyone was cooking,
"Time for our talk."
"About?" asked Kagome, yawning, plopping in a seat, her head hitting the table.
Sango raised an eyebrow, "What's up with you Kagome?"
"See…she's been acting this way for a while. Always tired." grumbled Mai, walking over and feeling her forehead. "Don't have a fever."
Kagome grumbled, "I'm feeling some pain in my stomach and I have a bad headache. Can I go lay down? Just until it's time to make the desert?"
"Yeah, go lay down dear." nodded Izayoi.
Kagome pulled herself up and dragged into the room with Sachji. Careful not to wake the sleeping pup. She crawled under the covers and fell into a deep, deep, deep sleep.
With The Guys: Hour Later
"Go! Go! Go!" chanted Bankotsu, Rogue, Zane, and Akita as Inuyasha had his fourth beer.
When he finished, he slammed the glass onto the table,
"THERE!"
"Woooo!" they cheered.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, "Pathetic."
"Aw, come on son, don't be a party poppers."
InuTaisho smacked him on the back, making him knock over his beer. Sesshomaru cursed,
"Damn."
The men busted out laughing, ordering another drink. Eventually, they all got drunk. Even Sesshomaru.
Later That Night
"Phew! All done!"
Rogue yawned, "I'm exhausted! It took until eleven at night to finish this! Insane!"
"Has anyone checked on Kagome?" asked Mai.
Izayoi stood, "I'll check."
She walked down the hall, and into Inuyasha's old room. Kagome was still passed out, as was Sachji. Sachji had somehow ended up cuddled next to Kagome. His hand resting in Kagome's chin. Izayoi smiled, walking in further.
She felt Kagome's forehead, still cool. Her breathing was fine, but she had a feeling when she woke up…that headache was going to be a lot worse. As well as that stomach pains.
Five In The Morning
The guys entered the house, laughing about something Miroku did. He was laughing himself. From all the ruckus, Izayoi stormed downstairs, hissing,
"Sh! You're going to wake everyone up!"
"Oh, sorry." apologized InuTaisho, about to kiss her.
She took a large step back, "You reek of alcohol. Shower, all of you. Now. I want your teeth and tongues the color their suppose to be."
"We're not litt-
Izayoi grabbed her son's dog ears, "Now!!"
They all went hauling ass up the stairs. Going into guest rooms. Izayoi heard silent sobbing. Her eyes raised and she went down the hall, entering the room Kagome and Sachji slept.
Kagome was sobbing into the pillow, holding her stomach and her other at her head. Covering her ears. Izayoi rushed over to Kagome's side,
"Kagome, dear, what's wrong."
"Head…stomach…hurt." she whimpered.
Izayoi touched her forehead then yanked it back, "You're running a fever."
"Kyoto….Gai…now." she complained, kicking her legs because of the pain.
Izayoi stood, taking Kagome's arm, wrapping it around her neck and helping her up,
"Okay, we're going right now."
Kagome couldn't see, everything was spinning. Izayoi's voice sounded like an echo. When they got out into the entrance-way, she called,
"Sango! Rogue! I need your help!"
In no time, they were running down the stairs. Sango asked,
"What happened?"
"Kagome has a fever, I'm going to take her to her doctor in Kyoto." she explained quickly. "Help me get her to the backseat of the car."
Sango helped. Crying from the room Kagome was in could be heard. She mumbled,
"Sachji-
"He's alright Kagome." assured Sango.
Inuyasha came running down the stairs, all cleaned up, "What's going on!? Kagome!"
"Inuyasha." whimpered Kagome.
He rushed over and picked her up. Saving them the trouble. Izayoi and Sango explained.
"Let me take her!"
Izayoi shook her head, "You need to stay here with Sachji. Kagome will be fine, go!"
He went to the back of the car, opened the door, and leaned over Kagome, whom was laying on the seat. Inuyasha kissed her on the lips,
"Everything's going to be okay Kagome."
"Inuyasha." she whimpered, tears slipping out her eyes as they pain numbed her insides and outsides.
Inuyasha kissed her twice, "I'm so sorry Kagome."
"We have to go Inuyasha!" yelled Sango, worried for Kagome's sake.
Inuyasha kissed her forehead then her lips once again,
"I love you."
"Love you too." she whimpered out.
He gave her one last kiss before getting out, and closing the door. Rogue hoped in the back. Supporting Kagome's head. Sango back out, speeding down the road like she'd just stolen something. Inuyasha watched with fear and guilt.
He knew something was wrong with Kagome but just ignored it. Some mate he was. Inuyasha could hear Sachji's crying and rushed back inside.
Kyoto
"Gai!" yelled Ruri as Rogue, Sango, and Izayoi brought Kagome in. "We got an emergency!"
He came out his office,
"We need some help out here!"
They rolled in the hospital thing, put Kagome onto, and took her into ER. Sango had tears,
"Please tell me she's going to be alright!"
"I have a feeling this horrible event is going to turn out into something completely unexpected." reasoned Izayoi, trying to calm the girls, who were near tears.
Hour Later
"Hello, I'm Gai Akamaru (changed last name because his other is a name of Kag's uncle.). I'm Kagome's Higurashi's doctor." he said, smiling and shaking their hands.
Sango glared, "That smile better mean she's alright."
"Indeed, indeed. Follow me if you will." he said, turning and leading them to Kagome's room.
ER: Kagome's Room
"You're awake!" cheered Rogue, but it quickly stopped when she saw Kagome's pale and shocked face. "What'd you do to her! HE TURNED HER INTO A STATUE! OH MY GOSH! YOU'RE ALIENS!"
Sango smacked her across the face, "Rogue! Calm down!"
"Thanks, I needed that." she said, sighing heavily.
Gai cleared his throat, "Can I explain the fever, the head, and the stomach pain?"
"Yes please." they all said in unison.
Ruri stepped forward, placed her hand on Kagome's head, and smiled brightly,
"Kagome's pregnant."
Kagome inhaled sharply. The room froze. Rogue had the strange urge to grab a pencil and drop it. Izayoi squeaked in joy and hugged Kagome,
"I KNEW IT!"
"Oh my gosh! Kagome! We're so happy for you!" chirped Rogue, hugging her, Sango joining.
Kagome laughed hysterically, "I can't believe this."
"I can't wait to see Inuyasha's reaction!!"
Gai and Ruri stepped aside, letting them have their moment. Kagome paled,
"OH MY GOSH! HOW AM I GOING TO TELL INUYASHA!"
"Don't tell him until we sit down and eat for Thanksgiving." smirked Sango. "This out to be good."
Kagome smiled widely, "I can't wait."
"Anything we should know?" asked Izayoi, smiling brightly.
Gai stepped forward, "Those pains happen only once. To only show she's pregnant. Their WAY more blunt than the regular human pregnancy, as you can see. So you'll all be able to tell when Kagome here is pregnant. She's a month pregnant.
"Everything is fine. This child will be the healthiest of them all. You'll feel more sleep though Kagome, so please take it easy. I don't want you walking around or anything. Your mate will know all this soon as he finds out. He'll start acting a little strange, but it's all in the book. Aka, it's suppose to happen.
"I want you to NOT take the pills, not until you have the pup. Since your mate is half DEMON, it'll only take six months for the development to go on forth. Besides all this, everything else should be normal. If I can remember anything more, I'll call. Or I'll risk getting yelled at when you call.
"Well, I'll leave you all alone."
He nodded to them all, looked at Ruri, and they both left. Ruri smiled at Kagome,
"Congrats."
She nodded then left. Sango, Rogue, and Kagome squealed loudly. Izayoi just laughed.
