I survived my first week of high school! I didn't even get Fridayed, as in Freshman Friday. I'm so relieved, that nothing happened to me. But lets take a moment to mourn for the not so lucky freshmen, one of whom had to leave in an ambulance. Peace, peoples.

Chapter Six: Broken

Eight months pregnant. Kagome sighed and looked down at her stomach, she felt emotions surging through her. She looked at all her friends, minus her brother and Kohaku gathered in her living room.

"I'm fat," she announced plainly.

"I'll say, you're as big as a house Kagome," Yura said spitefully.

Everyone gaped at Yura in shock, and then they heard a loud sniffle and turned back to Kagome with an expression of horror. Kagome sniffled again and started crying. Sango was on her feet and at Kagome's side in an instant.

"It's okay, Kagome, it's all right," Sango soothed.

Kagome cried harder and all the boys rushed to her side, alarmed at her mood. Four eyes glared at her but she didn't notice. One of the boys turned to them and scowled.

Elsewhere

A single beam shone into the room. The shadow and his minions were on the prowl.

Kagome

They had tried everything but Kagome just continued to cry. She hadn't said one word and everyone was alarmed.

"What's wrong Kagome?" Sango asked once again.

She wasn't expecting an answer and was surprised when she got one.

"I want Sessho!" Kagome cried.

The panic worsened, they couldn't do anything about Sesshomaru. A knock on the door interrupted her and Kagome stopped crying with a sniffle. She stood and waddled to the door to open it.

In the living room everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Kouga looked a little put out.

"Pregnant women," he huffed.

Sango smashed him on the head. Miroku looked at him sympathetically and helped him up.

"I know it hurts," he said comfortingly.

Kouga let out a low growl and stalked away. Miroku was about to sit down again when a scream ripped through the air. They all rushed to the door.

Kagome

Kagome had opened the door and was startled to see Onigumo shifting on his feet outside. A second later she screamed. Onigumo put a hand on her mouth and looked pleadingly at her.

"You have to help me, he's looking for me. He'll kill me, just like Naraku and the rest of them," he begged.

Just then everyone rushed in, save Kouga who had left out the back door. Miroku swiftly snatched Kagome away for Onigumo. Onigumo, himself didn't move he stared at the group of people and started whimpering. Just as Juroumaru prepared to attack Onigumo, the man shrieked and turned around. Before anyone could do anything he ran down the steps. He didn't stop but just kept running.

"Kagome are you okay?" Sango asked.

"I-I'm fine," Kagome answered.

Miroku was frowning. Onigumo had acted strange. He had heard what Onigumo had said before they had busted in. it didn't add up, someone was killing Naraku's gang and they were all dead so someone else was after Kagome. Miroku looked at the group, it had to be someone close. Then he shrugged, it could just be Hojo.

"Kagome you should stay inside," Sango stated.

"She wouldn't be in trouble if we all went," Inu Yasha argued.

Yura nodded.

"Yeah, let's go shopping!" Ayame exclaimed.

After a moment of hesitation Kagome agreed.

"We can't," Juroumaru said.

"Sorry," Musou apologized.

"It's okay," Kagome said.

"Let's go then," Sango put in.

They took two cars, Inu Yasha, Yura, and Ayame in his car and Kagome, Sango, and Miroku in her car. The mall was relatively busy and Sango immediately dragged Miroku to a hair salon, she was going to get a trim, for both of them. Before she disappeared Sango shouted to Kagome.

"Stay with Inu Yasha, Ayame, and Yura," Sango shouted.

Kagome smiled and turn to her companions, only to find them gone. Kagome was alarmed and searched for them. Then she felt someone touch her should. With relief she turned around, but the stifled a scream, it was Onigumo. He had a mad grin on his face.

"Hello, sweetie. He wants you, you know. So if I bring you to him he won't kill me," he babbled.

Kagome wrenched herself way from him, but he brought out a knife. Her wrist was still sprained, but was healing quickly, since she had broken it a while ago. Kagome stumbled back, but he followed her. She threw her hand up to protect herself, and felt a stabbing pain, before sinking into unconsciousness.

Miroku

He had convinced her that they didn't need a haircut and she had finally caved. So now Sango and Miroku were looking for Kagome. They were just in time to see Kagome fall to the floor. Sango rushed over to her while Miroku stalked up to Onigumo. Seeing Miroku threatening approach him, Onigumo fled in terror.

"Miroku, she's bleeding!" Sango's panicky voice called.

People were staring at them now, lucky they didn't notice the blood, and Sango announcement. Miroku took out his cell phone and dialed 911 and ordered an ambulance. Then he took a notebook out of his pocket and looked for Sesshomaru's new cell phone number. He dialed and waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello?" The voice on the other line asked.

"Sesshomaru Kagome's going to the hospital!" Miroku said.

Sango shrieked and Miroku automatically turned to her.

"Her water broke," Sango said softly.

Paramedics rushed over and took Kagome. Sango and Miroku followed them.

"The babies coming," he said into the phone.

"It's a month too early!" Sesshomaru's voice shouted.

"I know!" Miroku shouted back.

An unconscious Kagome moaned lowly and Miroku watched her worriedly.

"I'm coming," Sesshomaru announced.

"Good," Miroku retorted.

"Juroumaru, Musou, get in the car we're going to the hospital," Sesshomaru ordered.

Then the line went dead. Miroku was confused, Juroumaru and Musou were with him? Miroku shook his head and got into the ambulance. At least the man was on the way. Speaking of men, where were Inu Yasha, Ayame, and Yura?

In The Mall

The shadow smirked then he headed for the exit. Two smaller figures followed him.

"Let's go see if out toy is broken," he said.
