~~The Next Sequence of Unfortunate Events

~~Ch.1 Flashback City
~~ Well, I'm back with the sequel of The Real Series of Unfortunate Events. (Does happy dance)! So if you haven't read The Real Series of Unfortunate Events, it might be a good idea to, although I guess you don't 'have to'. Well, if you thought I was weird, you know with the whole getting Kagome pregnant for the hell of it thing, I must say, number one, I am weird, and number 2, I've been planning this the whole time. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a waste of my time, so I asked my reviewers to insure that it wasn't. Anyways, I don't know how good this will end up so I'm sorry if it totally sucks. Whoo! Oh yeah this is dedicated to LeeAnne (beatleschic). Love ya girl!

~~Disclaimer: Inuyasha is just one of the many things I don't own.

~~Ch.1 Flashback City

A 16-year-old raven-haired girl walked toward the small stream, glancing at her surroundings. She sighed as she felt the graceful wind flutter through her hair, much like the butterfly that flew with the breeze around her body. She continued her journey for the river. At her arrival she knelt down and cupped her hands in a bowl shape, encasing the clear liquid, then bringing it to her lips and sipping it slowly. After taking the desired amount she turned around to head back towards Kaede's hut, but something stopped the young girl. Looking down at her stomach she felt it again. Bringing her hands down she enclosed them around her swollen stomach.

'Oh, here it goes again.' She said to herself closing her eyelids shut fiercely. 'I know this happens in all pregnancies, especially toward the end, but mine is different.' She thought remembering what Kaede had said.

"You, Kagome, are bearing a half-demon's child, although the demon blood in this child is at a small degree, it will still affect ye greater because you are human." This statement never left Kagome's mind. 'How will this affect labor and the time up to it, am I strong enough?' Kagome questioned herself for the twentieth time this week.

Feeling that the pain had still not subsided she sat down on a near by moss-covered rock, one hand still wrapped snuggly around her belly. 'It's been over eight months, I can't believe all that has happened since the bathroom incident.' She thought, lowering her hands behind her trying to keep herself from falling from her sitting position. She began to laugh as the memories of eight months ago came flooding back to her. She remembered the reactions of her friends. They were indeed simply priceless and had helped her get through telling her family.

~~Flashback~~

Walking back from the nearby woods, Kagome and Inuyasha began to discuss their situation and how to tell the others. Upon their arrival, they opened the splintered door and walked in side-by-side. They noticed several pairs of eyes looking at them, studying them from their sleeping places.

"What are your problems, besides the obvious?" Said Inuyasha as he grabbed Kagome's arm and pulled her toward their sleeping spot. Kagome resisted though and stood her ground, making the hanyou turn around in shock.

"What is it?"

"Inuyasha, I want to tell them now." Kagome exclaimed, tugging him toward her so that he was next to her. The others stood up, realizing that something wasn't right.

"What's wrong Kagome, we all heard you leave, then Inuyasha left as well. So we decided to wait and see what happened." Said Sango as she walked toward Kagome.

Kagome looked at the floor as her friend approached her. "Well, everyone. I'm pregnant." Kagome said finally making eye contact with her closest friends.

Kagome was suddenly bombarded with hugs from Sango and Shippo, sheer happiness in their eyes. Miroku would have been a part of the group hug if it wasn't for Inuyasha's death glare and the fact that pestering him was much more fun.

"So Inuyasha, you finally snapped, couldn't keep your hands off of her now could we?" Miroku said as he casually walked toward Inuyasha. "So tell me, how was she, a gentle house cat, or a fierce lioness? Well, I guess considering this I Kagome I think she would be in control most of the tim." Miroku added, but stopped abruptly.

A low grumble escaped from Inuyasha, right before he began to beat the living daylights out of Miroku. "Well, at least I get somewhere with the girls I care about, not just a boomerang in the face." Inuyasha said getting off the monk and crossing his arms.

"You're right, but how were all those reunions with the ground." Miroku said back triumphantly.

"Feh, you've got nothing to say monk, who's the one getting married here?" Said Inuyasha with an equal amount triumph as he turned around and lifted his nose in the air. "And now I'm a father." He said adding to the list. Turning around he noticed that Miroku was no longer there but was congratulating Kagome. Walking toward Kagome he watched the monks hands, just to make sure one didn't 'wander' were it wasn't supposed to.

"Kagome, I'm so happy for you, let's go to the hot springs down that way before the sun rises and we have to keep going." Sango said beaming with delight, loving the fact that it was a good excuse to get out of their ragged dump of a house.

~~End Flashback~~

'Sango, was so happy for me. I think at that time she really wanted a child of her own, and at that time her and Miroku weren't as close as they are now. She asked me all sorts of questions, from how it felt to how Inuyasha thought of it. I answered truthfully to all of them, she is my best friend. Oh and Shippo was equally happy, but for a different reason. He had always wanted someone to play with, and he saw this as the epitome of fun. Plus, in some way or another, this pup will be Shippo's sibling. Now, that we have taken Shippo into our family, odd enough I think Inuyasha is really starting to accept him as our son.' Kagome thought.

'Well, at least that one went well, I remember when I told mom and Grandpa. Now that was a little different.'

~~Flashback~~

A week after spreading the news to their friends it was time to break the news to Kagome's family. Walking out of the well house Inuyasha took Kagome's hand.

"Don't worry, they'll understand, and I'm here to help you if you need it." Inuyasha said as they trudged the slow path of their eminent destruction. He was worried to, as much as he tried to hide it he couldn't and Kagome knew that he was scared. He wanted her family to like him like they always have, well, excluding Kagome's grandpa who had taken some time to accept him.

As they made their way toward the house they realized the lights were on and there was laughter emitting from all parts of it.

"They must be in the family room watching tv. At least they're in a happy mood." Kagome said looking up at her silver-haired fiancé.

"Yeah, let's just hope it stays like that."

The couple entered the cheerful house and walked toward the family room where everyone greeted them.

"Kagome, your home, and you brought Inuyasha too. Do you want anything to eat?" Kagome's mom asked from her sitting position on the couch, as she made her way toward the kitchen.

"Um, no mom, actually there is a reason why we're here. besides food that is." Said Kagome as she pondered what her next few words would be. "There is something we need to tell you."

Kagome's mom stared at her daughter realizing the serious tone in her voice. She walked back into the room and sat on the couch, never taking her eyes off her daughter. Kagome paused, waiting for everyone to get settled into their sitting places on the sofa. She opened her mouth as if to speak but found it hard to.

'Why is this so hard, just do it Kagome, everything will be fine, and Inuyasha is here too.' She reprimanded herself as her eyes darted from each of her family member's to the next.

"What is it Kagome?" Asked Sota innocently.

"Well, everyone. I'm pregnant." She said moving closer to Inuyasha, as if her family members were going to attack.

"Oh, my! Kagome you do realize the seriousness of this situation don't yo." Kagome's mom said as Kagome's grandfather cut her off.

"With this half-demon I'll bet!" Began her grandfather. "Kagome, I fear you do not understand what you have done, this is a tragedy, a day that will live on in notoriety. Kagome Higurashi you have brought shame to this family and it's ancestors." Said her grandfather as he started toward the door.

"Father!" Rang Kagome's mother as she stomped toward the old man, a shocked expression becoming evident on his face. "I cannot believe what you just said, Inuyasha and Kagome are obviously in love, if you thought that they weren't than I am astonished to find that you doubt your granddaughter. Also, Kagome having Inuyasha's child will not put our name down shamefully, if anything it should bring pride to our family."

Shocked Mr. Higurashi walked wide-eyed toward his granddaughter and grandson-in-law to be.

"I. apologize for my outburst, as much as I dislike the current situation, I will try to find a way to accept what is to come." Said the distraught grandfather.

"Thank you dad." Said Mrs. H. as she watched her father leave the room. "Although, I am still disappointed in you Kagome." She added. Kagome looked at her mother and opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted quickly.

"Kagome, does this mean I'm an uncle? Are you two getting married? Will Inuyasha be my brother? Is it a boy or a girl?" Sota asked as he bounded toward his sister and hero.

Inuyasha who had been silent the whole time, probably out of fear, finally spoke up. "Sota, yes you will be an uncle, we are getting married, I guess this means we will be related in some way, and as for the child, we won't know until it is born whether it will be male or female.

"Oh, yes we will." Said Mrs. H. from her spot on the couch.

"How so mother?" Asked Kagome.

"We're going to the doctor of course, this baby needs a lot even if it is unborn, we have to find out if it is healthy. We will be going to the OBGYN some time or another throughout your pregnancy.

"Um, mom if you haven't noticed, our baby is going to be a quarter demon. I'm not sure what its attributes will be but it has to get something from Inuyasha, whether it's a tail or dog-ears (demon attributes in general). If I get an ultrasound what will the doctors think?" Kagome said, tugging on one of Inuyasha's soft appendages at the mention of dog- ears.

"Kagome, I don't care what the doctors think. We have to keep in mind the best interests of the baby. Your not getting out of this, everything will be fine, I promise."

"U-l-t-r-o-s-o-u-n-d?" Inuyasha asked apparently very confused.

"Yes Inuyasha, it's a big machine that. Never mind, I'm going to end up showing you it anyway." Kagome sighed at the look of his face.

It was already dark outside. They had decided to get through the smaller details in the morning, so they stayed at the shrine that night. Everyone in the house was either furious, exhausted, confused, concerned, or downright happy.

~~End Flashback~~

As her reminiscing ended Kagome looked up at the night sky. She watched as the wind played in the trees and made a pleasant sound that soothed the body and soul. The sky was a dark blue that looked as if some child had messily painted abstract stars all over it. Kagome awoke from her dream state as she began to slip from her position on the rock.

"I better get back before Inuyasha comes looking for me." She said remember how much work it had been to get him to let her go off alone. She just wanted time to herself, just a moment to think.

"Kagome come, we have news." Said a very familiar voice that could only belong to Miroku.
