Hey, everybody! No, it's not Dr. Nick. It's me!! Heehee. Long time no see. I'm bored, and you guys? Lol. Anyway, I got to reading some of my old shit and remembered that my good buddy, Jen (Kitsune's Lover) needed a story in her honour! So, here unfolds Bad Romance, the sequel to Question Existing. (If you haven't read that, you should probably do so before reading this. It'll just make more sense.) **This fic is named, of course, after the new Lady Gaga song, cuz it's awesome, just like Jen:D**

So, Jen, in your honour, I present the first chapter of:

Bad Romance

Chapter One

I'm in big trouble.

That was Kagome's first thought when Inuyasha had pointed out the positive pregnancy test in the sink last week. She was right.

Inuyasha had dropped his arms from her sides, stepped back, and asked, "How can that be, Kagome?" The dead calm of his voice was more frightening than anything he might have shouted at her. At least she knew how to deal with his outrage. Calm, on the other hand, was rare. And freaky.

She couldn't believe it, but her mind readily supplied a lie that slipped from her mouth before her conscience could approve it, and he'd held his tongue since then, although he would still look at her every now and then with suspicion.

At the time, it had seemed like a great idea. She had simply replied, more calmly than she'd thought was possible, "It's an old test, Inuyasha. It's obviously faulty. I only took it for kicks!"

She'd crossed her fingers behind her back and hoped for the best, and he'd snorted, crossed his arms, and dropped the subject, just as she'd hoped. But then he'd wanted to drag her back to the Feudal Era, but she wasn't having any of that. She hadn't any clothes on! The towel she was wrapped in was her excuse as she told him, "I'm not ready to come back, Inuyasha. I appreciate your apology, though." And she'd smiled at him.

The reminder did the trick, and he'd forgotten about the faulty pregnancy test in the sink, and reluctantly left a while later, since she wasn't doing anything interesting. He'd asked to see the Jewel shard she'd found, or rather, stolen, and he'd actually complimented her on it. She'd been appalled, but had hidden it well.

After he'd gone, she'd dressed and lay on her bed for a while, thinking at an alarming speed. That test had been old, but what if it really was right?

It couldn't be.

Just to be sure, she'd gotten up and ran down to the supermarket, her blush intense as she tried to look nonchalant about buying two fresh pregnancy tests. Dashing back home, she took one, waited for the results, and sighed in relief when it was negative.

See? She thought. And you were worried! That old one was a dud!

Satisfied, she'd buried the used test in the bottom of the trash, wrapped in toilet paper and taped closed, so her mother would never find it, hidden the other, and walked out of the bathroom, pleased with herself for avoiding disaster.

Now, though, two weeks later, she wasn't so sure. And he was looking at her again! Ugh!

Inuyasha quickly averted his gaze as Kagome stood up, huffed, and stomped away from the hut angrily.

Miroku lifted a brow."What on earth was that about?"

Sango giggled. "Inuyasha's been staring at her all day. Give it up, what's the problem?" She directed her question at the hanyou.

He shrugged, lazily. "Ask her. She's the moody one." His frown didn't disappear.

"I'm asking you."

He sighed, loudly. "She smells funny, okay?"

Miroku frowned now, echoing Sango's expression. "Are you saying she needs a bath? That's rude, Inuyasha. Like you smell any better."

Shippo waved a hand in front of his nose. "No kidding."

Inuyasha growled at the kitsune and raised a clawed hand as if to smack him, but Shippo just looked at him, unfazed.

Sango said, "Violence won't make anyone smell better. You usually don't complain about Kagome's smell. Everyone else's, yes, but never hers."

Inuyasha glared at her. "I complained in the beginning-"

"-Which is beside the point-" Miroku interrupted.

"-Whatever. I didn't say she smelled bad. I said different. There's a difference."

Shippo rolled his eyes. "Obviously."

Inuyasha turned, fist balled. "That's enough from the peanut gallery, Shippo!"

Shippo shrugged, unconcerned.

"Actually, you said she smelled funny, not different." Sango pointed out.

Inuyasha jumped up, throwing his hands in the air. "What difference does it make?!"

"Well, which is it? Funny, or different?" Miroku smiled.

All three looked at the hanyou expectantly.

"Screw you guys. Forget I said anything!" He stomped off, his red sleeves flapping as Inuyasha took off into the canopy above.

Shippo shook his head and tickled Kirara's ears. "What a tard."

Sango smiled to herself. That was an understatement.

Miroku went back to playing with the holy beads on his right hand. Conversationally, he asked, "Did you two think that was weird?"

Sango and Shippo looked at each other, then back at the monk.

"Absolutely."

"Heck, yes."

Miroku nodded. "Then I'm not crazy."

Sango and Shippo exchanged another doubtful look.

Kagome stomped to the well, jumped in, climbed out on her side, stomped to the house, up the stairs, and, ignoring Souta's questioning look, slammed and locked the bathroom door.

She took the last test out of the bottom of the basket full of her toiletries on the back of the toilet where she'd hidden it, and sighed tremulously. She closed her eyes, and immediately a pair of gold eyes, separated by a fine nose and a navy crescent moon flashed through her memory, burned there forever.

Sesshoumaru...

Sighing again, Kagome felt angry tears slide down her face. Her period was a week and a half late.

Anxiously she took the test and waited. She began to inspect her fingernails as she waited, but the memory assailed her anyway, making her sigh despite the direness of the situation.

Sometimes, a memory was even more pleasant than the actual encounter.

Kagome's eyes flashed open. What was she going to tell everyone? What was she going to tell her mother!??

It's okay, get a hold of yourself!

She placed her hand to her heart, trying to stop hyperventilating, when, terribly, someone knocked on the door!

"Kagome?" It was Souta. "Are you okay in there?"

Kagome nearly choked, as she glanced at the test and saw the result. "I'm fine," she squawked, coughed, then repeated, "I'm fine, Souta. Go away!"

Then she sat down on the floor, and fainted.

Well, end chapter One! Are you psyched to read more!? Review me, and you shall be rewarded!!!!!!
