ok.. first off, thank you all for reviewing this! it has almost as many reviews as A Little Lovin' does.. which is saying something XD several people have told me that this is OOC. I know that. the person who said it was OOC for Inu and Kag to jump out of bed naked and run around playfully is correct. however, look at it this way: if someone you loved had been feeling tired, ill and not at all themselves for around a month reverted to their normal behavior for a short time, would you not tease them, all because their mother was there? and also.. to Realistic?(), if you found out your daughter had leukemia, would you be all weepy and over protective or would you try to send her off with a smile, so that she wouldn't realize how worried you were? me, I'd try to smile and hide how worried I was/am (ack, confusing myself XD), and let her have at least one fairly happy day with her friends before I told her she was deathly ill. but that may just be me. and also, you read my mind! she is! (to both XD)I'ma gonna shut up now and let you read.. XD

Kagome looked at her mom, then tugged on Inu-Yasha's hand and sat down on the couch, pulling the baseball cap off of his head so that she could scratch his ears. She was tired, but she didn't want to worry her mother or Inu-Yasha anymoreso than they already were, so she didn't say anything. As she waited for Mrs. Higurashi to start the conversation, she let her thoughts wander. I wonder if I'll ever have kids.. Little silver haired boys and girls. Or black haired ones. With inu ears? Hmm..
Mrs. Higurashi watched as Kagome got a dreamy expression on her face, and smiled a little sadly. Had Inu-Yasha had a tail, it likely would have been wagging at a furious pace. As it was, he looked incredibly pleased with the way Kagome was scratching his ears. Although he might not admit it. Mrs. Higurashi cleared her throat, and both teens looked at her expectantly, as she'd startled them out of their reveries. (A/N: should that word even get pluralized? is pluralized a word? Ö.o)
"Gensai-sensei called last night, and said that the labs had gotten results." She began, shifting uneasily. Oh, kami-sama! How do I phrase this?
"And what is it?" Kagome asked with a few misgivings. She had a bad feeling, almost like her life would change irrevocably once her mother told her what was wrong with her.
"Kagome.. You have.. ack, what did Gensai-sensei call it?" Mrs. Higurashi dug a scrap of paper out of her pocket. She sighed. "That's right. He said that you have acute myelogenous leukemia."
"I- He- Nani?!" Kagome was shocked. Out of all the things she'd thought might be wrong with herself, she'd never once considered leukemia - of any sort.
"I wish it wasn't so. He said that they're running secondary tests to make sure that the diagnosis is right, but.." Mrs. Higurashi shrugged, feeling helpless. Even with Kagome's time traveling, she was still useful as a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk with, and just to be their to listen. But this? How on earth do you handle something like this? She wondered, almost despairing.
Oh, kami! Why did it have to be leukemia? Kagome wondered, feeling dizzy. Anything else, I wouldn't mind so much, but I don't want to die! I'm too young to die. I want to have a nice life with Inu-Yasha! Her thoughts circled around in a never ending circle, and she leaned against Inu-Yasha as she tried to take it in. Why me?
"He also said that there was an unexpected result, as well. Apparently they test for every possible thing - and few slightly less possible things - and one test came up rather shockingly positive." Mrs. Higurashi wasn't sure if she should dump this on Kagome so soon after telling her that she had leukemia, but stiffened her resolve. If they can do the deed, then they are - or at least should be - prepared for the consequences.
"What is it, Mama?" Kagome asked, straightening slightly. She appeared untroubled, but Inu-Yasha could tell that she was sad, scared and worried, just by looking at her and her scent.
"He said.. That you're pregnant."
"Nani yo?!?" Kagome felt her vision swimming even as she shot to her feet. "Oh kami! How-?"
"I think you know how, Kagome. And probably there where." Mrs. Higurashi said, with an amused smirk. As depressing as it was to have to tell your oldest child that she had leukemia, the looks on Kagome's and Inu-Yasha's faces were priceless.
"I- How- Oh my." Kagome turned around and promptly fainted into a startled Inu-Yasha's arms. Inu-Yasha blinked, looking at her, then looked at Mrs. Higurashi, who chuckled for a second.
"Nothing to worry about, Inu-Yasha. It's perfectly normal for a woman to faint after finding out she's expecting. I almost expected her to faint after I told her-- No matter." Mrs. Higurashi waved it off. They waited for a while, talking calmly, although Inu-Yasha had the rather distinct impression that Mrs. Higurashi was displeased about something. (A/N: wow! he's smart! XD let sarcasm rule the world!)
Kagome stirred and moaned, then opened her eyes. Upon seeing the slightly worried expression on Inu-Yasha's face, and the ever so slightly superior smirk on her mothers face, she groaned. "I wasn't dreaming, was I?" She asked, sitting up.
"Dreaming about what, Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"I don't know. Anything. Everything. Leukemia. Babies. Gah. I think my brain got fried." Kagome rubbed her temples. Mrs. Higurashi stood up.
"I wish to all the kami there are that you were dreaming. But you weren't. And by the way, what ever induced you to have sex without protection?" Kagome blushed, but before she could interject a comment, Mrs. Higurashi continued speaking. "Oh, I don't mind that you two are happy - kami knows you've both had some interesting times - but really, you're both a bit young to be parents. In fact, I think I'm a bit young to be a grandmother."
She continued on in this thread for a while, as Kagome withdrew into herself. Leukemia. And a baby. She thought, eyes seeing inwards. Honestly, I don't mind the baby, but leukemia.. Whatever did I do to deserve this? I'm only seventeen. I don't want to die. She felt her eyes fill with tears. Inu-Yasha noticed, and pulled her onto his lap, letting her cry onto his shoulder. Someone up there likes playing merry hell with my life, Kagome thought, crying.
What is this 'leukemia' sickness? Inu-Yasha wondered. It hadn't escaped his notice how both females were obviously scared and worried whenever the word was mentioned. What does it do? I mean, it's probably bad, but how can I help if I freakin' don't know what it is? he hugged Kagome tighter. I hope it's not one of those sicknesses people die from.. I don't want her to die.
Mrs. Higurashi stopped her tirade, realizing that neither of them were listening. Oh well.. I guess I'll just have to arrange a marriage for them. She sighed. This should be quite enjoyable--if I ignore the fact that she has a deadly disease.
So she just sat down, and decided to wait for them to come back to the waking world before telling them what she'd decided on. Although, considering that both of them were stubborn and probably wouldn't take well to her meddling in their lives. Just a little action to spice things up, and make it more amusing! She thought with a grin.

hmm.. I just realized.. that this chapter is painfully short.. gomen nasai! I would make it longer, but then that would mean the next chapter would be shorter.. I have this story plotted out to chapter 20.. and then I'll see where it goes from there. thank you all for reading, although I certainly wouldn't mind more reviews!! they make my day.. just like my kawaii bishie does when he gets online tosses him a kiss since I know you're reading, Cy :D as always, R&R, onegai! I want this to have more reviews than A Little Lovin', which currently has 20 reviews:D
inu = dog
sensei = teacher; doctor (in this case, doctor)
kami-sama = like saying 'lord God, I think
nani = what

Ja matta! (until later!)
