Story: Kagome Shot

Chapter 9: Some Explanations

Authors note:

I don't own Inuyasha or any of the Characters, and I probably can't spell half their names. So please forgive me. This story takes place shortly after the 2nd movie.

A/N: For those who are concerned about the story: No that was not the end, nor is this. Its not going to end for QUITE some time. I have a master plan for the story and I will let you know this much: 1. I expected it to be about 20 Chapters. I want to thank you all for the positive reviews! I'm glad you are enjoying it! Now, On to the story:

Inuyasha held the now limp Kagome tightly in his arms. 'Please let Sesshomouru be right, let her be ok, I don't think I could handle her leaving me again.'

"Umm, Inuyasha?" Eri looked up towards her friends boyfriends, confusion written all over her young face.

"Yeah." He looked at her, eyes full of suspicion, this girl was nothing like Sango, the demon-slayer never have let Kagome get in this much trouble. He didn't think he trusted these modern girls too much.

"What's going on, who are you, your not from around here are you?" She asked, shooting off the questions, nervousness evident in her speech.

"Son, I think you have some questions to answer. Like how you blew a whole in the building, and who was that man that walks around like he owns the place." Officer Lee had finally come out of the shock of being nearly killed. He wasn't one to put up with uppity people.

'Geeze, I knew I didn't like this time. It's simpler in my time, villagers expect this type of stuff. Humans have grown bold to speak to demons in such a way. Here goes.' Feh, I don't have to answer any your questions." With that Inuyasha stood up but stopped when Yuka caught his Haori sleeve.

"What do you want wench."

"Wait, don't leave us just yet. I just want to know what's going on, Kagome is my best friend. Don't we deserve to know."

"Besides kid, that girl needs medical attention, she was shot."

Inuyasha resigned himself to letting the paramedics examine Kagome. She had always spoken highly of the healers from her time.

"Are you hurt, your 'outfit' is awful torn, and there seems to be lots of blood."

"Feh, like a human could hurt me." Inuyasha looked at the paramedic contemptuously before continuing "Besides, she needs help more than I do."

Inuyasha turned around when he smelled the Souta and Mrs. Higurashi coming, others were with them, from their scents he guessed they were family of the other girls. "You three, your families are here."

"Wha? How do you know?" They chimed in unison.

"Trust me, Okay. What has Kagome told you about me?"

"Nothing, accept you love some other girl that looks just like Kagome – you two timing" Auymi's mouth was quickly covered by Yuka, "Umm, no she didn't say that, just ignore her." More quietly "what do you think you are doing, have you not noticed that his hands are literally drenched in blood! My god, he is a monster, but telling him that will do no good."

She stopped her whispered tirade when Inuyasha began growling. "I am not a monster; I use what I was given to fight, nothing more. I doubt these pussys around me would have saved you. Feh, humans are the same no matter where, no gratitude. Any difference between me and you is used to ridicule me…"

"What differences are there boy? You haven't answered my questions, why don't you start talking while your little friend is being examined." Lee asked once again.

'Crap, what do I tell them.'

Sensing Inuyasha's reluctance the sympathetic Tai decided to help him out. "So, you trained with Sesshomouru at his school to the south?"

"Yeah, you could say that." 'More like I fought for my life whenever Sesshomouru was around, but if Sesshomouru has a place in this time Ill just latch onto his success, not like he gave me anything else…'

"Inuyasha!" Souta yelled as he entered the room, barreling into his hero! "Where is Kagome? Did you save her for us?"

"Yeah runt, she is over there, Ill explain it all to you later." He still felt guilty for letting her get as hurt as she did.

"Kagome, darling, is, is she ok?" Mrs. H asked the paramedics as they hovered around the girl.

"I'm not really sure what happened actually. I saw them both get shot. I swear I did, but there is no wound on her. Her clothes are ripped and stained just like she was shot. The guy in red has the same. His are still open I think. He claims he is ok though. I don't know how he is still walking. Adrenalin can do wonders for the body, that's about all I can say." One paramedic said.

"You know that guy right?" Officer Lee asked, she nodded and he continued, desperate for answers "Well, maybe you can shed some light on the subject. When we got up here Inuyasha was holding the girl, almost everyone had been killed in the building. Some other guy from came in the door right as we did, they opened fire on them. I know I saw him get hit. There is no mistaking the body's reaction to a bullet penetrating him. The girl was hit as well. Then he got up. He drew the sword he had at his side and that thing was monstrous. At least 5 feet long, I know, it must be a hologram or something. He yelled out 'Wind Scar' and everything in front of him was gone. Then he dropped the sword, and it got normal sized. He kind of stood there for a while, emotions running over his face until it turned cold. The Paramedics decided at that moment to go to the girls and he exploded. The air around him vibrated, the building shook, and his eyes became red, I swear he grew fangs, and marks on his cheeks, he jumped at the medics and right before he took them out the guy named Sesshomouru entered and blocked him. The fought for a while before someone said "Sit Boy" and he crashed into the ground. Then this Sesshomouru guy told one of the girls to put the sword in his hand. He seemed OK after that. Sesshomouru then walked over to Kagome and swiped one of this swords over here and she woke up." Officer Lee and the others had all been consulting with each other as to what exactly happened.

"Oh, well." 'Thank God Sesshomouru had called to explain what was going on, though how he got my number or knew what was happening is news to me.' Mrs. Higurashi began explaining all the events as if she were talking to her children. "you see Sesshomouru, the other silver haired man is Inuyasha's older brother. He runs the family business, its some sort of special ops training center. Inuyasha had been training there for many years, which is where he learned to fight…and umm…about the sword, it's a new type of weapon being tested by the government. High tech stuff, not released to the military even because they are not quite sure how reliable it is. 'God I sound stupid… After their parents died Inuyasha had gone through a sort of 'punk' period and ran off. He had some surgeries done to make him look more fierce, thus the dog ears…and lived on his own on this island somewhere. Kagome had gone with her grandfather on Shrine business and met Inuyasha there. When he heard she had been kidnapped he left his duties on the island and came to rescue her. 'Well, they look like they are buying it…' About the shooting, The special training includes pain tolerance and stuff like that so I doubt he would care if his arm got chopped off, and are you sure you saw Sesshomouru use his sword on my daughter? Maybe it was just to scare her back awake?" 'I sound like Souta making up stories now…'

"Oh, well, I guess that makes sense then, I think Kagome and the girls need to go to the hospital. I will be by your house later this week to ask the girl her side of the story. Not that there is anyone left to put in jail." Officer Lee shot a glare Inuyasha's way and then left.

After the small interrogation the Paramedics insisted on taking all the girls to the ER. There they were tested for all sorts of ailments – including the rape kit. Kagome's of course came up positive.

The doctor entered the room where Inuyasha was hovering over his Kagome. "Excuse me sir – may I ask your relationship to the girl?" The kid was said to explode easily, Dr. Suma knew that he had to have more tact than normally required. "I know she wasn't rapped, at least not recently, but she is pregnant, I sure hope this is the father…"

"Im Kagome's ma…I mean umm…"Crap what are they called here married? No lover, no, boyfriend! That's it" I'm here boyfriend."

"When was the last time you engaged in sexual activity with Miss Kagome?"

'What is this guy getting at…' "Feh, that's none of your business" Inuyasha turned from the inquisitive Doctor.

'Ill take that as a yes' "I am a doctor, you can trust me to not tell the girls mother. 'Ill leave that up to you.'

"Yeah, so what we mat…I mean we…"

'What I wouldn't do to know what this 'mat' word he keeps throwing out is…' "Well, it would appear that Kagome is pregnant.

"Pregnant?" He said skeptically. 'What is that word? Kagome hasn't ever told me before – wait, Sesshomouru said she was with child, is that what this is about.' He growled at the thought of Sesshomouru knowing before he did.

'Shit, he isn't the father then?'

"She is with child?"

"Yes"

"It wasn't harmed in the fight?"

"No, I am amazed considering what she went through, being kidnapped, handled roughly" Another growl escaping the half-demon's throat "She and the child will be fine, she just needs rest right now." The doctor watched as a calm look passed over Inuyasha's worried face. 'He is the father then, and he accepts responcibility. If only all the other kids would do the same.'

With that the doctor left. Inuyasha stared down at his love, his mate, the mother of his child. He was proud of her, so strong, a survivor. She would do well. He tucked her in a bit more securely and watched her peaceful form sleep. Inuyasha's mind, for the first time, began to grasp what true happiness is.
