Disclaimer: I pick up dimes off the ground. So, do I honestly own Inuyasha? I don't think so; please do not sue this very poor college girl. Seriously, college drains you dry.

AN: I was on deviantart(dot)com, and I found this girl who draws awesome, awesome Inuyasha fan art! She also mentioned that the anime Inuyasha had its grand finale (she lives in Brazil, and they get to see Inuyasha way before we do in the U.S.), and she said the final episode is called, "The Bond of Two." Do any of you readers know what this episode is about? She also said that Rumiko Takahashi is still continuing the manga, even though the anime ended, so the real ending is still up in the air. If you want to see her art work, go to: giovannag(dot) deviantart(dot)com(slash/)gallery(slash/)oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chapter 11: "The Trial"
The weeks passed by too quickly, and it was soon two days before Inuyasha's trial before the court. Sango and Kagome did everything they could, but without the files that were missing, they could not prove anything, and everything was against the hanyou.
On many nights, Kagome and Inuyasha would fall into each others' arms in frustration of everything against them, content with just being with each other. They would sometimes vent their frustration through sexual activity, trying to forget the world and the fate that awaited Inuyasha.
They even did a good, old fashion Irish knee-trembler.
(An Irish knee-trembler is done against the wall, and the couple's knees tremble from the sensation of the activity.)
One morning, Sango called Kagome on her cell phone, and Kagome picked it up.
"Do you think we can get Rin to testify?" Sango asked, not bothering to greet Kagome.
"Hello to you, too, Sango."
"Oh, hi, Kagome. Do you think we can get Rin to testify?"
Kagome sighed.
"I don't think so, because you saw her reaction to us just asking her what happened."
Sango sighed with Kagome.
"This isn't going too well."
"I know, Sango, but we are doing the best we can."
"How's Inuyasha taking it?"
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, asleep next to her, his face looked so angelic.
"He seems to be taking it well, but on some nights he… is wild, frustrated."
There was pregnant pause from Sango.
"Aww… my little Kagome-chan has finally grown up and lost her virginity."
Kagome's face turned red.
"I-I have not!"
"Have too!" Sango accused and laughed. "I can tell by your voice when you said how he is wild and frustrated. I mean, Miroku and I had some frustrated nights—"
"Sango!"
Sango laughed, dropping the subject.
"Okay, okay, I'll see you in the courtroom tomorrow at 10:00 am."
"Okay, see you then."
Kagome hung the cell phone up, setting it down at the night stand beside her.
"Good morning."
Kagome jumped, looking Inuyasha while he was sitting up.
"Inuyasha…"
Inuyasha leaned over and kissed Kagome desperately on the mouth, their tongues dancing together. It seemed that the closer they got to the trial date, the more desperate Inuyasha becomes; and Kagome tries to satisfy his desperation the best she could, and trying to forget what he was fated for.
It was after lunch that Shippou called Kagome's cell phone, sounding like he was going to cry.
"Shippou, what's wrong?" Kagome asked worriedly.
"Is Inuyasha going to die tomorrow?"
"W-What makes you say that?"
"On the news, they announced that his trial is tomorrow."
Kagome gasped, forgetting about the mass media attention that his trial brings. Knowing that did not bring Kagome any comfort as she tried to comfort her son.
"Shippou, that is not known until tomorrow."
"But… but they said that he's going to be found guilty!" Shippou cried. "Please, can I talk to Inuyasha?"
Kagome hesitated, and handed the phone over to Inuyasha.
"Shippou wants to talk to you." Kagome said before going into her room to get dressed.
Kagome laid the clothes out for her, feeling over the fabric before she collapsed on the bed, crying and sobbing. She did not want Inuyasha to be found guilty, of course; he was innocent.
Suddenly, at the thought of Inuyasha being found guilty, Kagome thought of the death penalty that awaited him. That thought caused a wave of nausea to rise from the bottom of her stomach, and made her lurch.
Kagome raced to her bathroom, and vomited in the toilet. After a few more lurches, she flushed the toilet, and rinsed her mouth out. She looked a bit pale, and her face felt clammy; it had to be the stress.
When Kagome came out of the bedroom, fully clothed, she saw that Inuyasha was off the phone, looking like he was in a trance.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called to him.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, and gave her a tired smile as he leaned back further into the cushion of the couch.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha greeted just as tired as he looked. "I heard you were sick in there."
Kagome nodded, but brought the conversation to another path.
"What did Shippou say?"
"He just ranted about how unfair life is, how unfair people are, and that he doesn't want me to die."
"Do you want to die?" Kagome asked, knowing it was not a good question.
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand gently and yanked her down on his lap. He held her close to him, breathing in her sent.
"Your sent is… interesting today…"
"What makes it so interesting today and not any other day?"
Inuyasha breathed her in again.
"Your sent is mingling with mine… and another."
"Eh?" Kagome asked, confused as Inuyasha held her tighter, nuzzling her neck.
"I always wanted a family." He murmured, licking her neck.
"What… are you talking about?"
Inuyasha placed a gentle hand on Kagome's womb, and he gently massaged it.
"Nothing…" he finally answered. "I'm just rambling nonsense."
"Please, Inuyasha, please tell me."
"Kagome," Inuyasha hesitated, still massaging her womb. "Do you want a child?"
Kagome's eyes widened, and her cheeks turned a light pink, but she did not blush as heavily as she would have if he asked her that when she was still a virgin.
"Yes, I would want your child." She answered, holding him.
"Boy or girl?"
"It doesn't matter, just as long as you would want the child, too."
Inuyasha nodded, patting Kagome womb.
"Yes, I would love for you to have my child, so this is the final gift I can give to you."
Kagome looked at her hanyou, half in confusion, and half in anger.
"Don't say your good-byes, Inuyasha! You have not been sentenced! You haven't even been found not guilty or guilty!"
Inuyasha nodded tiredly, placing a light kiss on Kagome's lips.
"You're right; I haven't, but this is still the last gift I can give you. Just please tell the little one who I am, not what I've done; please?"
"Inuyasha, what are you talking about?"
Inuyasha shook his head, nuzzling her neck, just contented with holding her, and holding the other.
"You'll know soon, but just not now."
Kagome, knowing that she will not be able to get more out of Inuyasha, just sighed, and allowed him to hold her for hours; their hands together, palm to palm, and fingers to fingers.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The next day cam way too early for Kagome's liking. She got up early, feeling nauseous, and had to vomit again. One thing Kagome did not like was stress; it seemed to make her more and more nauseated.
Kagome exited her bedroom and went to the dining room, seeing that Inuyasha was already up with breakfast already made for them. Kagome sighed, her eyes closed, and she gave Inuyasha a big smile.
"Good morning." She greeted cheerfully, although it was obviously forced.
"Ohayo Gozamasu." Inuyasha greeted with a nod, setting Kagome's plate down.
Kagome looked at her breakfast, and she began to eat. She kept watching her breakfast until it started to blur. Kagome blinked her eyes and the salty liquid fell to the table with a splatter. She sniffed, trying to force the tears away, but they kept filling up in her eyes.
"Kagome…"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha with the salty tears running down her cheeks. She sniffed again, forcing a wobbly smile.
"You don't have to force yourself to be optimistic for my sake." Inuyasha said, looking painfully at Kagome.
Those words made Kagome break down into sobs, and she ran into his arms, sobbing in his shoulder. Inuyasha held her in his arms, making her wonder why he had not broken down like she was.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome sobbed. "Inuyasha."
They could not say anything else except the name of the other.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kagome was in the courtroom at 9:30 am, behind where Inuyasha would sit, and Inuyasha was in the "contempt" cell. She stared at the room that would determine the hanyou's fate; it was a large, regular courtroom with the judge's desk at the front, the jury seats to the right, the witness stand beside the judge's desk, the two tables next to each other, one prosecutor's table, the other was the defendant's table.
Next to the witness stand was a window where one could see the defendant, or anyone who needs to be put in contempt, pass through before they disappear behind the wall. Kagome took in a shaky breath when someone sat down beside her.
The woman had beautiful, long black hair, pale skin, and beautiful brown eyes. Her lips were ruby-red, and her gaze moved over the courtroom with a look that did not hold any interest. Then the woman looked at Kagome, realizing she was there.
"Oh, hello." The woman greeted. "I'm not going to be staying for long, so you don't have to worry about me. Inuyasha is going to come out soon, and I want to see him one last time before I leave."
"I've… seen you before!" Kagome aspirated, her eyes widening.
"I know; it was at the DNA laboratory, I was in the cafeteria with Naraku."
"K-Kikyo?! Kikyo Yahame?!"
"Yes, that's my name, although now it is Kikyo Rujai."
"What…" Kagome began, and then got very angry. "How dare you?! How dare you be here now at a time like this?!"
Kikyo yawned, looking at the defendant's chair, not caring that Kagome looked at her like she was about to kill her.
"I would love to take you out right now!" Kagome screeched. "How dare you be here when Inuyasha is going to be facing all of this for a crime he did not commit?"
"A crime he did not commit?!" Kagome screeched back. "He committed my murder long before I died!"
Kagome looked at Kikyo in bewilderment.
"What are you talking about?!" she demanded.
"You're supposed to be a psychologist; you figure it out!"
Kagome shook her sleep-deprived brain to figure out what Kikyo was talking about. Finally, Kagome grudgingly shook her head, telling the woman she did not know.
"I died when I was living because he let me! He did not see anything wrong with me, and look at me now! I'm completely insane!"
"That, I believe." Kagome muttered, folding her arms, and scooting away from Kikyo. "But, obviously, you're not insane."
Kikyo whirled to face Kagome.
"What do you mean?!"
"What I mean," Kagome calmly continued. "Is that anyone who says they're insane, are in fact, not; because anyone who knows they are insane cannot be insane because they are mentally aware to say they are insane."
Kikyo looked at Kagome like she just turned into an eighteen-legged octopus with eyes on fire.
"What are you talking about?" Kikyo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Okay, to be sane means 'mentally sound.' Obviously, you are 'mentally sound' enough to know that you are 'not mentally sound,' which is why pleading for insanity should not work. Anyone who comes up with a premeditated crime like that, and forces another person who is innocent to suffer, is 'mentally sound.'"
Kikyo scoffed, turning back to the courtroom as if it was more interesting than Kagome. The psychologist reached into her purse, looking for something inside; when she found it, she pulled her hand out.
"Hey," Kagome started, glaring at Kikyo out of the corner of her eyes. "Why did you frame Inuyasha?"
Kikyo looked Kagome up and down, noting the light bruises she received from Inuyasha slamming into her. Kikyo raised an eyebrow at the psychologist.
"I hate him." Kikyo replied, crossing her arms. "I had someone better than him; someone who can understand me."
"You know, there is such a thing as 'breaking up.' Have you heard of it? It's where one partner tells the other partner a sob story of how they no longer love the other, and they should not be together. It may hurt the other partner who is going to have the broken heart, but at least it saves them from this hell."
"Gods, you're such a bitch." Kikyo scoffed.
"Obviously, I'm not much of a bitch as you are."
"So, are you calling me a bitch?"
Kagome looked at Kikyo again, hatred radiating off of her towards the other woman. Then she stopped herself; she had no right to hate Kikyo. That would be Inuyasha's duty if he wants to hate her or not.
"I guess I am." Kagome answered.
Then, Kagome saw Inuyasha pass by the courtroom window, being led by a guard. He was wearing a blue suit, which he shifted uncomfortably in, and he kept adjusting it.
"I don't know why I had to wear a suit, Kagome." Inuyasha said, not realizing Kikyo was there because he was adjusting his tie. "I'm just not comfortable in them."
"Hello, lover." A cold voice said, reaching his ears.
Inuyasha abruptly stopped what he was doing and looked at Kikyo with wide eyes, shock made his body numb. The guard went back to the cell hold, waiting to guard whoever got out of hand during the trial.
"Ki-Kikyo…"
"Well, I'm glad you still know my name." Kikyo said, pretending to examine her fingernails.
"What… are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked, frowning slightly.
"Oh, I'm not going to stay for the whole trial, Inuyasha. That would just be silly for the jury to convict the hanyou while the 'dead' girlfriend sits behind him."
Inuyasha flinched a little, cautiously approaching his seat; his footsteps echoed in the empty courtroom.
When Inuyasha took his seat, several other people entered the "audience" benches. Kikyo looked behind her, and looked at the clock on the wall; 9:52 am.
"Well, it looks like I wore out my welcome." Kikyo said, standing up and putting her purse on his shoulder.
Inuyasha kept his back to both Kikyo and Kagome, waiting impatiently for Kikyo to leave. Kikyo, however, leaned over the railing that separated the defendant from the audience. She put her lips to his ear and whispered something that Kagome could not hear; something that made Inuyasha tense up.
Kikyo then kissed his cheek, and left without a sign. Kagome turned back to Inuyasha, his back still to her.
"Inuyasha?" she whispered to him.
"It's nothing, Kagome, its nothing."
Kagome knew what Kikyo said was not "nothing," but she kept silent, knowing that Inuyasha was under pressure; and a man, or even a demon, under pressure was not to be pressed any further.
Sango came in the courtroom at five 'til ten o'clock. She slammed her folders down on the table, breathing hard from lack of breath, and just haggard.
"Damn reporters can't take a hint when you tell them 'I do not want to comment.'" Sango mumbled. "They should either get hearing aids or be taken out and shot!"
"Rough day, Sango-chan?" Kagome inquired, leaning forward a bit.
"Yes, very much so." Sango answered, getting her documents out. "I told you I don't like to be in the courtroom on Friday the 13th!"
Kagome laughed nervously, and Sango looked at her for the first time since this morning. Sango saw her best friend glowing brightly despite the stress of the day.
"Kagome-chan," Sango whispered, leaning towards her friend. "Are you pregnant?"
Kagome's eyes widened and she put her hand on her stomach. She looked at Inuyasha, who was looking at her for the first time since he came into the courtroom, only he was watching her from over his shoulder.
"I-I don't know." Kagome answered, keeping her hand on her stomach. What was it that Inuyasha said last night?
Inuyasha nodded, patting Kagome womb.
"Yes, I would love for you to have my child, so this is the final gift I can give to you."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a questioning look, which he nodded to her so only she would see. Her eyes widened more, if that was possible, and she kept her hand on her stomach.
It was then that Sesshoumaru came in and sat down next to Kagome. A few minutes later, he looked at her with a questioning look. Kagome gave him a small, nervous, smile and Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.
"You smell pregnant." He whispered to her, still looking at his brother. Inuyasha had turned around to face the judge's desk, but he acknowledged that his brother was there with a twitch of his ear.
"I am pregnant." Kagome said, looking at Inuyasha. I don't want to take my eyes off him. I can't take my eyes off of him; not now.
"Oh, what a wonderful job you did, Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru muttered to his brother, but all Inuyasha did was nodded his head in agreement.
The courtroom was packed by the time 9:58 came, and a media sketcher was there to sketch the proceedings.
At 10:00 am, the bailiff announced, in a loud voice, "All rise for the honorable Judge Kouga!"
A young man came in, carrying several folders; he had blue eyes, and long black hair that was tied up in a ponytail. At the mention of his name, both Sango and Kagome snapped their heads towards him.
"Kouga?!" both Sango and Kagome yelp in unison, making everyone in the courtroom look at them.
Kouga snapped his head towards Sango, and then Kagome; he kept his eyes on her as he walked up to his judge's desk, and put the folders down.
"Well, Kagome, how are you?" he asked a bit stiffly.
"I'm okay, I guess." Kagome replied, embarrassed that they were talking across the courtroom.
"How's Shippou?" Kouga asked, oblivious to the looks, and how inappropriate it is to talk across the courtroom.
"He's okay."
"Well, please tell him I said hello." Kouga said, opening the folder.
"I will."
The prosecuting lawyer looked at Judge Kouga, and asked, "How do you know her, You're Honor?"
"We were once a couple in college." Kouga announced, looking over the documents. "Kagome and I didn't end well."
Sango slapped her forehead, and mumbled, "We're screwed."
The trial went underway for a full two hours, with half the jury thinking Inuyasha was guilty, the rest, not guilty. Naraku was brought to the witness stand for confirmation of the DNA results.
Naraku confirmed that his testing was true, and no one doubted the word of a professional.
Finally, the prosecutor only needed one more victim/witness to question.
"I call Doctor Kagome Higurashi to the stand." The lawyer announced.
Kagome flinched, not knowing that she was supposed to be brought forth for witnessing. She got up, went through the gate after Naraku and her glared at each other. When she went to the witness stand, Naraku leaned forward, whispering something to the prosecutor.
The prosecutor nodded, and stood up to question Kagome.
"Doctor Higurashi," the lawyer began. "How long has the said hanyou—"
"Objection!" Sango called out, rising out of her seat. "When the prosecutor said 'hanyou' he is trying to make the people of the jury turn against him by hinting about his heritage!"
Kouga looked at Inuyasha with a raised eyebrow.
"Can't they tell just by looking at him?" the judge asked, making some people laugh. "Sustained; prosecutor may continue."
"Thank you, You're Honor." He turned back to Kagome. "How long has the hanyou, Inuyasha, been under your psychologist care?"
"For almost three and a half months." Kagome answered.
"And what is your relationship with him?"
"Doctor and patient." Kagome internally winced, hating to write their relationship off as nothing; as so little.
"Then why, may I ask, are you pregnant with the hanyou's child?"
Several people gasped, and Kagome forged a confused look.
"Do you still want to say that your relationship with the defendant was, in fact, just 'doctor and patient'?"
Kagome nodded.
"Yes, I still want to say that, because my personal life is not of the court's concern. I have a personal life involving a boyfriend, not a patient; and how you, the prosecutor knows about my pregnancy, when I just found out myself, is beyond me." Kagome said, telling the truth if one really looks at the hidden words, and glared at Naraku.
How did he know anyway?
The prosecutor looked like he was at a loss, so he murmured, "No further questions."
Sango stood up, walking over to Kagome, and asked, "Doctor, have you been involved with the defendant's case?"
"Yes, I have."
"What can you tell the jury what you have found out?"
"First, I got another opinion from the DNA lab, and we found out that this whole 'murder' was set up."
There were a lot of murmurs among the audience and jury; Kouga slammed his gavel down on the desk to make the people shut up. Once the courtroom settled down, Sango continued.
"Please continue, Doctor."
"I also have been receiving threat calls," Kagome continued, looking at Naraku, and he smirked at her. "My best friend's fiancée was… killed, and the doctor in the DNA lab was threatened; she is still in the hospital."
Several more murmurs broke out, and Kouga slammed his gavel down on his desk in anger. The murmuring stopped, and the judge turned to the jury.
"The jury will take a break, and then come to a verdict."
The jury did just that, and Kagome exited the witness stand, looking at the clock; it read 1:53 pm.
As the trio, Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha waited for the verdict, Naraku, who sat at the far end from them, nodded and talked on his cell phone. Kagome raised an eyebrow, wondering who he was talking to.
Kagome was about to get up, when Inuyasha gently grabbed her wrist, holding her in her spot.
"Please don't leave me." He whispered to her.
Kagome nodded, smiling comfortingly at him, hoping that the verdict was a good one. Inuyasha probably did not think so since he looked miserable.
The jury came in at 2:34 pm, filing in and taking their seats. Everyone stood up when Judge Kouga came in, and sat down.
"Have you reached a verdict?" he asked the jury.
The head jury foreman stood up and replied, "We have, You're Honor."
"Let me see it."
The guard got the paper and handed it to Kouga. He opened up the folded paper, read it with an expressionless face, and handed it back to the guard, which he handed back to the jury foreman.
"Will the defendant please rise?" Kouga said to Inuyasha.
Both Inuyasha and Sango stood up from their seats; Sango's legs shook, and she was sure it was not because of her pregnancy.
"We the jury finds the defendant, Inuyasha the hanyou…" the jury foreman began, opening up the folded paper.
Kagome held her breath and it seemed to take the said verdict forever to be announced. Both Sango and she both held there heads in their hands, their hearts pounding and their palms sweating.
The tension rose, and they waited for the jury foreman to continue.
"…Guilty of first degree murder."
Kagome's heart plummeted down to her stomach, and her body felt numb. Sango plopped down heavily in her seat, putting a comforting hand on Inuyasha's arm.
Surprisingly, the people left the courtroom very quickly, as did the prosecutor. As Naraku walked by, he smirked smugly at Kagome.
Sesshoumaru had to hold Kagome back from attacking the bastard, holding her as gently as he could by her upper arm.
"Careful, woman," Sesshoumaru warned. "You're pregnant with my niece or nephew."
Kagome stilled and looked at Inuyasha with tear-filled eyes. He was still standing, his back to her, and when practically everyone was out of the courtroom, including Judge Kouga, the bailiff came and got Inuyasha to lead him to the holding cell.
Kagome jumped out of her seat before either Sesshoumaru or Sango could catch her, trying to run after Inuyasha.
Inuyasha looked back at Kagome as he passed through the door, the bailiff closing the locked door behind them. Kagome ran to the courtroom window, and the bailiff finally allowed Inuyasha to stop for a few minutes.
They looked at each other, both not knowing what to say, and Kagome pressed her hand against the glass.
Inuyasha place his hand on Kagome's hand, palm to palm, and fingers to fingers, with the glass window between them. Kagome had tears streaming down her face which she did not bother to wipe away. She sniffed, sobbing, and they kept their hands like that for as long as they could.
I love you.
Inuyasha finally had one lone tear stream down his left cheek, splattering on his clothes, and the bailiff tugged Inuyasha away down the hall, his hand scrapped along the glass, trying to keep the connection with Kagome, even if it was through glass.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome sobbed, her hands on the glass, trying to watch him being practically dragged down the hall. "Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha got pulled through the heavy double doors, looking at Kagome one last time before the solid doors closed.
"Inuyasha!"
