To my Reviewers: You guys are the best. But I prefer not to get chairs thrown at me so here's the next chapter. I don't feel like writing to you guys. I don't know why. Nothing has inspired me to write except thanks for complimenting me on the citrus.

Hojo stood there near the punch bowl. He was waiting for Kagome to return from counseling her friend when Kouga stood roughly next to him.
"Damn females," Kouga snorted as he grabbed a wine glass filled with grape wine. He drank it with great distaste. "What kind of wine is this?" He looked at the bottle and rolled his eyes. He looked at Hojo, "You're Kagome's date, aren't you?"
"Yes," Hojo answered with such an innocent, oblivious face that Kouga had to chuckle. "And you are Taka-san's date, correct?"
"Yeah," he grunted. "Some bitch she is."
"..." Hojo didn't know how to react. "So you're fathering Taka's baby?"
"Hell I didn't know she was pregnant," Kouga stated. "I haven't had sex with her if that's what you're asking."
"No," Hojo replied. "I wasn't asking that. I was simple asking if you were Taka's baby's father."
"Well I'm not," he answered gruffly. "Why would I sleep with that whore anyway?"
Hojo shrugged. "I don't know. Taka is a very beautiful woman. Though Kagome...Kagome is something special. She laughs like the world is never going to end. She talks like there is no tomorrow. She listens and givers her advice. She is just a light for my plant."
Kouga snorted and laughed. "You mean the water for your seed."
Hojo blushed in deep crimson.
'Oh Gawd, he is a momma's boy,' Kouga thought, rolling his eyes.
"So...you're dating the Prime Minister's wife?" Hojo said.
Kouga spat out his wine, "Sesshoumaru's the prime minister?"
"Don't you know?" Hojo said. "All of Japan knows that he is. Don't you watch the news?"
"Not into politics," Kouga said as he wiped his mouth. "...Do I have to worry about him suing me for sleeping with his wife? I mean Kagura is a great woman."
"Uh-huh," Hojo said, stepping away. Kagura could be a real cow when it came to relationships. Kagome had told him all about it. "Good luck."
Kouga laughed. "So what are you into?"
"Into? I like watching sports if that's what you mean," Hojo commented.
"No I mean...as in drugs. Cocaine. Marijuana. Tobacco. Ecstasy. Angel dust," Kouga said, "Me I'm on Heroine."
" ...I don't do drugs. Drugs can hurt you more than you know," Hojo said. "Drugs can kill you and destroy your brain."
"What are you? A cop?" Kouga looked at him in a mocking way.
"Yes," Hojo stated. "And I'm afraid I'm going to have to arrest you for using heroine." He wasn't joking. Hojo was indeed a policeman. He revealed his badge.
"Oh shit."

Sango stood there. Her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open. This was so soon. Too soon. She couldn't. Did she love this man kneeling before her? She could read the anticipation on his face, urging her to utter a word. A word he wanted to hear.
"M-Miroku...I...er...Don't...know what to say..." she stuttered, trying to catch her breath. "I mean..." She leaned against the concrete railing and tried to think. She couldn't. "This...this is so fast..."
"Please say what I want to hear, Sango-chan," Miroku said as his throat went dry. His hands were sweating. "I promise if you say yes I won't look at another woman again. I won't even look for your lingerie drawer anymore."
She swallowed and wet her dry lips, thinking. "..."
Miroku closed the box, hiding the gleaming happiness of the ring. "I see..."
"No!" Sango protested as he stood up. "Get back on your knees. I haven't made a decision yet."
Miroku looked surprised at her and then kneeled on his knee, revealing the ring once more.
"My answer..." she stalled. She really loved him. So if she loved him she should be able to answer. She should be able to muster the courage to say 'yes'. "Is for you to stand up."
He sighed and stood up, tired of the game. He faced her, his eyes pleading to not torment him anymore.
She had tears in her eyes. She then leaned in and kissed him on the lips. She broke away before he could respond to her movements. "Yes. Yes Miroku I will marry you." A smile appeared on her lips as she gazed at him.
The answer finally registered in him and he grinned. "Really?"
"I said it didn't I?" she asked and kissed him again as he opened the box. After the short kiss ended he slipped the diamond ring on her right finger. (it is right isn't it? Here I am 14, and not knowing...)
She admired the ring on her finger. Then she claimed his lips again with hers and he happily kissed her back.
-----------------
"Kagome..." he searched in her eyes of shock and confusion. "Kagome...I...there's more to me then you'd ever guess. You see..."
"...Taka?"
"I'm not...I'm not a woman..." InuYasha looked at her, trying to read her expression.
"What do you mean?" she half laughed, half gasped. "You are a girl. I see you! You have boobs! You have makeup!"
"I got temporary plastic surgery. The reason I was a lesbian was because I'm a guy. My true identity...my true identity...I am Hanyou InuYasha..."
Her mouth fell open. "Taka...I can't...you...are...." She blinked and then closed her eyes. "Explain..."
"I er...well wanted to move into Tama neighborhood instead of that ghetto area so I could attend the Law School. Miroku introduced me to his guardian who was a plastic surgeon. So he gave me temporary plastic..."
"You're a guy...Hanyou InuYasha...who is pregnant with a baby!" Kagome exclaimed. "I don't believe this!" She was angry and confused. "How-Why-Why didn't you just tell me! I would've gone along with it!"
He shook his head. "No...you wouldn't have. I know. Because some girls said you tattled on certain things. I couldn't risk a lot of girls knowing!"
"You lied! All this time! I've been sharing my soul with some guy! You deceived me! You befriended me and now...now you're...just now introducing your real self! Why?" Kagome sat down on she shook with rage as angry tears of betrayal swept down her face.
"Kagome..." InuYasha said. "Please...don't..."
"Whose the mother?"
"...You..."
"We didn't do anything!" Kagome snapped her head in his direction.
"I know..." InuYasha said. "But...I kissed you..."
"So a kiss doesn't do anything!"
"It did. The DNA in your saliva reacted with the chemicals in the plastic. So now I made a sack and now it's making a baby. Mushin can explain it better than I can...I'm so sorry Kagome. I didn't want this to happen," InuYasha groaned.
Kagome stood up and walked over to him. SLAP! She slapped him. "You lied! You betrayed! You...you faked! I hate you! I never shouldn't have trusted you!" She stormed off leaving InuYasha standing there, his cheek burning.
InuYasha sat on the bench and groaned. 'I'm sorry...I didn't...I didn't want this to happen...'
"InuYasha...?"
InuYasha turned around to see Rashi in the doorway. "What are you doing here, bitch?" he asked softly. (if you hadn't figured it out Rashi being called 'bitch' is like a friendly name. And Rashi calling InuYasha 'asshole' is also a friendly thing.)
"Shut up, Asshole," Rashi replied with tears in her eyes. She walked over and sat next to him. She embraced him tightly, putting her face in his neck and sobbing the tears he couldn't sob.
He placed his hand on her back and hugged her back. "I told her..."
"I know," Rashi replied. "Sesshoumaru was listening..."
He would've been angry by is, but he was glad that Rashi knew. He needed to hold someone and Rashi was always there. He squeezed tighter as he felt the tears on his neck. "I...I don't know what to do..."
"Do what you think is best," she replied.
InuYasha closed his eyes as a thought came to him. He knew what he had to do. He knew that by doing that he would make everything better again. "I know."
Someone cleared their throat and the two broke apart. "You're not trying to steal my love, are you, little brother?"
InuYasha smirked. "No."
Rashi stood up and went over to Sesshoumaru, hugging him softly. Sadness was in the air for InuYasha. Sorrow. Pain. Drama. Tension. All those ingredients made the oxygen they breathed on that balcony.
----------------------
Kagome ran outside to the limo. She saw Hojo's cop car, the lights swirling. She didn't care. She wanted to get home. "Take," she forced her voice as she spoke to chauffeur. "Take me home please."
"Yes Miss," he replied and opened the door for her as she climbed in. He went to the driver's seat and drove off into the night.
Kagome pressed her head against the window as she cried in silence. She heaved in breath and let it out just as ragged.
The person she trusted the most could not trust her. The person she trusted the most was a man. A pregnant man. With her baby. 'And I'm still a virgin.' She thought bitterly, 'and already someone is carrying my child! I'm supposed to be the one carrying my child! I hate her! I hate him! I hate her! Gawd I hate the person I trusted.'
She walked into her house, greeted by the soft 'meow' of her cat. She slumped on te sofa and began to cry all over again. She felt hurt. Betrayed and forgotten. She had entrusted her secrets to a man! A man that lied to her! She had almost fallen in love with a woman. She had risked being a lesbian for Taka, only to find out that Taka was InuYasha.
She didn't love InuYasha. She didn't even know InuYasha. She loved Taka. But Taka was InuYasha...Gar! This was so confusing and frustrating!
---------------------------
InuYasha was being cradled once more in Rashi's arms as Sesshoumaru sat next to Rashi, patting her back as she sobbed more.
"It's all my fault!" she sobbed over and over.
"No it isn't."
Then she started laughing. "Yes it is!" she laughed loudly.
InuYasha looked at Sesshoumaru and Sesshoumaru replied, "She laughs when something emotional happens. Emotional overload."
"Ah," InuYasha nodded understandably. "Rashi we should head home. Don't you think?"
She nodded while laughing, tears streaming down her eyes.
----------------------------
They were in the limo. Silent. Rashi was asleep, leaning on Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru stroked his fingers through Rashi's hair.
"Rashi...she's a good friend to have..." InuYasha broke the silence. "I wonder if Kagome will forgive her for knowing that I was me..."
"I'm sure she will," Sesshoumaru said. "Rashi...she's everything to me. Just like Rin. The best part is Rin and Rashi get along just as great."
"You're lucky to have her..."
"I know."
Silence.
"No...I know...what it is...it's cotton candy..." Rashi murmured in her sleep. "Well...if it's not cotton candy...it's still the pillow..."
InuYasha laughed. "She's still wondering what that fur is."
"It's fur," he stated.
"Does it get in the way of sex?" InuYasha asked.
"If Rashi wasn't sleeping on me I'd hit you," Sesshoumaru said.
InuYasha sighed. He was confused. He was hurt. He didn't know how to show it, but he knew what he needed to do.
"Hey, is it okay if we stay at your house for the night?"
"Yeah."
And then the window separating the driver from the guest rolled down. Rin was up front playing with the buttons. "Look Sesshy!" she pushed the button and it rose up again and then down.
"Rin, leave it up or down," Sesshoumaru ordered.
"Yes Sesshy," she said and it went up again as she started to play with other buttons.
------------------------
"Rin's asleep already in the smallest room. Rashi's in the room next to yours," Sesshoumaru told InuYasha, who was flipping through the channels on the TV. "I'm going to bed. You should too."
"I will."
He went up the stairs and checked on Rashi.
Rashi was awake and she noticed Sesshoumaru. "Hey...did I sleep all the way here?"
Sesshoumaru nodded.
"Oh..." she said and looked down. "Sesshoumaru...?"
"Yes?"
"Will you...will you sleep with me?" Rashi asked like a small child. "I can't help but feel sad and...well..." she blushed. "I need my blanket but its at my house..."
"How old are you again?" Sesshoumaru asked as he entered the room, closing the door behind him. He was already dressed in a white shirt and white pants for bed.
"Twenty-three," she replied with a small grin, "but young at heart."
"Well," he said. "If you're young at heart maybe I shouldn't get into your bed. You never know what could happen."
She laughed. "We're not even dating."
"Oh?" he looked surprised, "We're not?"
"You didn't ask."
"Rashi, may I date you?"
"Of course!"
Sesshoumaru slipped under the covers with her and wrapped her arms around her small body, bring hers to his.
She snuggled into him and inhaled his spicy smell. (All guys are spicy. Muahahaha!)
--------------------------
InuYasha slumped even further down into the sofa as he watched the Shopping Network. "Boring..." he stated as he slipped the channels again.
Soon the remote slipped out of his hand and onto the floor as he snored away, emotions swarmingf his mind.
'Kagome...I love you...'
------------------------
Crisa Rei: Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Took me a great deal of concentration to right this story. Yes yes. I didn't know what Kagome's reaction would be then I put myself in her shoes. I thought if Ryan were a girl I befriended and I fell in love with him while he was a girl and then he told me he wasn't what would I do? And then I would've have KICKED him not SLAPPED him but Kagome is just a slappy person.
Yes well 8 pages. Longer than my previous two. Ooooh I so can't wait for the next chapter. You know that big plan I had that I was going to put on chapter twenty? Well the pregnancy was the big plan so,..yeah...but don't worry still heading towards 22 chapters. I hope so anyway...I need t make a list of my twists I have planned.
