Chapter 24: My Sweetheart is…
Kagome laughed, actually liking the idea of having Inuyasha's kids.
It was now the first weekend after Valentines Day and everybody was gathered at Inuyasha's house, him wanting to tell them the story of when he broke up with Kikyo. Kikyo had been glaring at Inuyasha all week but he plainly ignored her, actually liking the feeling of not being tied down to Kinky Ho.
"Ok so tell," Megumi said, grinning.
"Alright, it went like this," Inuyasha smirked as he rubbing Kagome's arm up and down since she was sitting on his lap.
------- INUYASHA POV
Right after I left Kagome's house, I decided to pay Kikyo a little visit. It wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be. My luggage was all in the limousine and Jaken waited patiently. (Like he had any damn choice, keh!)
I walked up to her door and rung the doorbell. She opened it and well she looked, happy?
"Oh my god! Inu-kun, you're back! On Valentines Day too, and you've come to visit me," She scowled then, "I knew you loved me more than sweetheart."
'Yeah, that's why I'm engaged to her?' I thought comically to myself as I let myself in. I plopped down her sofa and put my feet on the table.
"Get me a coffee Kikyo, babe." I teased. Might as well raid her house of its food before I 'break it to her'.
Kikyo sighed. "No hug, no kiss? Just a coffee?"
"Can I get a coffee?" I sighed.
Kikyo scowled before going to get him coffee. I laughed to myself then, thinking that this would be more fun than I had planned. Kikyo came back with coffee and I sipped it, and then started coughing.
"What is this? I want more cream than that Kikyo!" I ordered. Kikyo frowned. "I'm sorry, but I don-"
I held my hand up to silence her. "I've come to visit you after my LONG trip back from Cancun, appreciate it."
Kikyo's frowned deepened as she went to get more cream for my coffee. I grinned, loving this idea more then I originally thought I would.
"Get some cream cakes too toots," I ordered from the couch.
"We don't have any," She said, using that snotty tone. I grimaced, 'How did I ever think I loved her?'
"Then what do you got?"
"Coffee cakes,"
"I'm already having coffee, anything else?" I called.
"Strawberry Shortcake,"
"Great, gimme some,"
"Why are you being so bossy?" Kikyo shrilled.
"I thought, instead of you bossing me around, I should do the bossing around. Tell me, you don't want me, famous singer Inuyasha to dump you?"
Kikyo snorted, "You'd never dump me, I'm too sexy,"
"You're full of your self," I said as I got up and walked to the kitchen. I stared at her and held the coffee in front of me. I flipped the cup and let the contents spill onto the ground.
"And that's your downfall, we're through,"
"WHAT?" Kiko screamed.
I chuckled and nodded, picking up my coat, "So long, bitch." I said as I walked out.
"YOU CAN'T!" She called after me, running.
"I think I just did."
"But- but- but- it's Valentines DAY!"
"Adds more effect huh?" I grinned as I walked to the limo.
"NO! YOU- YOU- INUYASHA!" Kikyo screamed. Neighbors walked out and stared at her.
"Don't, we're finished, it wasn't working." Inuyasha said, "It wasn't you it was- no wait, it was you." I smirked before getting into the limo. I faintly heard her screaming.
------- END INUYASHA POV
"OH MY GOD!" Sango shrieked.
Megumi, Kagome, Kirara, Shiori, Rin, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Koto and Sango were all staring at Inuyasha like he was an alien.
"And, that's it?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha nodded. "You think I went a little too rough on her? I mean she was acting possessive before I went to Cancu-" He got cut off when Kagome pressed her lips against his. Everybody hooted as she slowly allowed him to take over. After they pulled back she smiled, "Rough? On Kikyo? Darling I love you,"
Everybody laughed as Inuyasha smirked at them all. "I just wish somebody was there to video tape it."
Sango laughed. "Souta told Kohaku to tell me that Souta got Inuyasha's arrival at the Shrine on tape,"
Kagome smiled and nodded. "Yeah, apparently, Mama paid Souta $50 monthly to get all my Inuyasha moments on tape."
Sango's eyes widened. "Oh my god, Kohaku would die to get paid $50 a month just to film me and Miroku."
Miroku pretended to blush, "You're actually allowing me to-"
"Can it Houshi," Kirari said dryly.
Everybody laughed.
Kagome yawned and snuggled against Inuyasha. "Weird huh, how we were best friends since birth and now we're engaged."
Megumi grinned. "That's why, girls and guys can never be friends, love always interferes."
"Unless Inuyasha was butt-ugly, then I'd just sympathize him," Kagome said cheekily.
Inuyasha, Miroku, Sesshomaru and Koto laughed and the girls agreed.
"So Rin, when're the babies due?" Shiori asked.
"Any day, any time." Rin said wryly.
"Ouch," Kagome winced, "remind me not to get pregnant for a few years."
Inuyasha laughed and kissed her cheek. "Of course you do want Mina to get some playmates right?"
"True," Kagome said thoughtfully, "but knowing Rin, she'd put the godparents and the father on Mina duty, while she sleeps comfortably."
Inuyasha playfully glared at his sister-in-law. "You better not, I don't want Kagome falling asleep on our honeymoon night. That night, it's all about staying up baby."
Everybody roared in laughter as Kagome blushed so hard, she dug her face into Inuyasha's chest. Suddenly Rin screamed in pain. Everybody shut up and looked at her worriedly.
"I- it's- she's coming!" Rin wailed as Sesshomaru stood up, worry written all over his face.
Kagome shot up and grabbed whoever's cell phone was on the table (cell phone belonging to Megumi) and called the ambulance. Inuyasha took his phone and called his father at work and his mother who was out visiting some nearby family.
Sesshomaru was trying to soothe his wife.
"That won't work Fluffy," Kagome said sternly, "Megumi, get some water, Shiori, get some pillows and Kirara, blankets. Inuyasha go watch for the ambulance and I need Miroku and Koto to keep Sesshomaru sane, IN ANOTHER ROOM!" Kagome ordered. Everybody when to do what they were told to do, Sesshomaru though very reluctant, left the room, with a few worry glances shot at Rin.
Shiori and Kirara came back down with pillows and blankets. Kagome and Sango got Rin comfortable as Megumi brought back water.
"How far apart are the contractions?" Kagome asked her future-sister-in-law.
"I- don't- AH!" Rin shrieked in pain.
"I'd say three minutes," Sango said.
"Oh shit, did your water break yet?" Kagome said.
Rin shook her head.
"Then the baby isn't due for a few minutes," Megumi said as she helped Rin drink water. Rin clutched Sango's hand and squeezed, causing Sango to wince.
"Ouch, why'd you push Sesshy out?" Sango asked.
"If he stayed, he's throw us off in our contraction count." Kagome said as she counted down to Rin's next contraction.
"The ambulance is here!" Inuyasha said as he ran in to find his fiancée doing a helluva good job in keeping Rin comfortable.
"My water broke!" Rin screamed.
"Perfect timing, where's Fluffy?" Kagome asked.
"Right here," Sesshomaru said running in.
"Take your wife to the hospital and I'll come down with a mask on. You guys better go by car," Kagome said to their friends, "and Rin'll be alright."
Everybody nodded and ran out as Sesshomaru took his wife to the ambulance. Kagome rubbed her temples and sat down on the sofa with her fiancé beside her. She leaned in on him and smiled softly.
"We're godparents." She said smiling.
Inuyasha chuckled and kissed her temple. "How'd you know what to do?"
Kagome flushed, "I've been watching baby births on T.V. for three weeks now, thinking of Rin and how I'd feel when I have your kids."
Inuyasha didn't know what it was but when she said 'have your kids' he feel some sense of pride.
"So we should go?" Kagome said as she stood up.
Inuyasha nodded as they walked to his bedroom to get some extra face masks there. Kagome picked up a green one and Inuyasha helped her put it on. He then pressed his lips firmly against hers and she melted, her legs turning to jelly. His tongue took control as he chewed her bottom lip before sticking his tongue in. He pulled back and rubbed his nose against hers. "I love you," He said softly as he licked her cheek.
Kagome smiled and hugged him tightly, "I love you too, now we GO!"
The two arrived at the hospital to see the entire crew sitting in the waiting room looking very serious.
"What happened?" Kagome asked them, worry racing into her voice.
"The baby shifted positions," Megumi said, a sob escaping her throat.
"There's a chance that either Rin or Mina will die," Miroku said as he hugged a crying Sango.
Kagome's eyes widened as Inuyasha put an arm around her shoulder. This type of news can only affect three sets of people. The parents, the grandparents (family included in that set) and the godparents.
Since Kagome and Inuyasha were the godparents, they felt the impact most.
"No- NO!" Kagome cried as she dug her face, into Inuyasha's chest, her facemask poking him.
The nurses and doctors looked at them and instantly they recognized Inuyasha and his Sweetheart. Then half of them figured out that his sister-in-law was in delivery. However one very stupid young intern doctor came by.
"Hello," He said courteously.
Everybody glanced at him and Inuyasha glared at him. "What do you want? Can't you see we're pretty preoccupied here!"
He jumped and ran away. Kagome looked at where the intern was before she looked at her fiancé. "He wanted an autograph," She said softly.
"Is he stupid? Can't he see we're kind of busy worrying over Rin! How the hell do you think we can give autographs when Rin is in delivery in a matter of fucking life and death?" Inuyasha roared.
Another sob caught in Kagome's throat and Inuyasha held her tightly in his arms. A few seconds later, Inutaisho, Izayoi and Korari rushed into the hospital waiting room.
"What happened?" Korari asked as she saw her daughter's puffy red eyes behind her mask.
"Mina's position changed, now either Rin… or Mina will die during the birthing." Inuyasha said solemnly. Izayoi and Korari felt like cold water splashed onto them. Inutaisho's brow furrowed as he went to ask the nurse about Rin Takahashi's current status.
Kagome hugged Izayoi and Korari before walking back to her fiancé. Inutaisho looked like he was going to go insane. They all waited quietly.
Finally, the young intern doctor came back causing Inuyasha to glare at him. He sighed before bowing. "I'm the intern of Doctor Yoshima, the Doctor who's delivering Takahashi Rin's baby."
Everybody straightened up and stared at the intern.
The doctor smiled. "Both the baby and Mrs. Takahashi have survived. Doctor Yoshima is doing extra tests in the baby and Mrs. Takahashi to see if they're both healthy. Only two at a time can visit them."
"Godparents first!" Kagome squealed as Inuyasha chuckled. The two walked to Rin's room and walked in to find a very battered out Sesshomaru and an even more battered out Rin.
"Oh my god Rin!" Kagome squealed as he face mask started to slip. She repositioned it and went to hug both Sesshomaru and Rin. She tightly hung onto her future-brother-in-law before playing a soft kiss on his cheek. "They're ok Sesshy,"
Sesshomaru coughed. "I'm glad they are,"
Inuyasha sniggered. "To bad I missed Sesshy's only time when he's 'worrying'."
Kagome pouted. "That was mean Yashie."
The nurse came back in with Mina Choujo Takahashi. Kagome stared at the little baby as the nurse handed the bundle to Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha could tell the flicker of emotions in his eyes as he held his first child in his arms.
"Name?" The nurse asked softly.
"Mina," Kagome grinned.
The nurse wrote it down on a tag. "Any middle name?" She asked.
"Choujo." Inuyasha said.
"Cute," The nurse smiled before putting the tag on the baby. Kagome grinned as she held the baby in her arms. She kissed Rin's cheek before snuggling with her goddaughter. "She's so cute, she so has Sesshy's nose." She complimented.
"And Rin's lips." Inuyasha said fondly as he examined his goddaughter with his fiancée beside him. Rin and Sesshomaru watched the couple and exchanged secret smiles. Yeah, someday Inuyasha and Kagome would make perfect parents.
"PROM IS IN A WEEK!" Kagome grinned as she launched into Inuyasha's house. Mina was two months old and was making it hell for her grandparents, godparents and father. Rin was constantly sleeping but who could blame her.
"Got a date?" Inutaisho asked as he cradled Mina in his arms.
"If I wear a mask, then I'd be the only one, meaning people will know I'm Sweetheart, but then again, we're revealing my identity on Prom night." Kagome said thoughtfully.
"Kagome!" Inutaisho said loudly.
"Yeah?"
"Do you have a date?"
"Oh yeah, Inuyasha."
"But then that kind of is odd, if you two have been pointedly ignoring each other in school and then suddenly are dates." Sesshomaru said as he handed a blanket to Inutaisho who wrapped Mina in it.
Mina was so kawaii in Kagome's perspective. She had silver hair, exactly like her father but chocolate brown eyes, like her mother. Kagome couldn't wait to have kids of her own.
"Yeah, we're going in separate limo's to the place that's hosting our Prom. We go inside, and hang around with our crew, you know, myself, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kouga, Ayame, Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, Ryuukotsusei, Enju, Hojo and them lot. Afterwards, when they award Prom King and Queen, Inuyasha gives a little speech and announces I'm Sweetheart." Kagome said.
"You two planned it all out eh?" Izayoi said grinning.
"Of course, now where's my Yashie?"
"In his bedroom sleeping. He had Mina duty last night." Sesshomaru said.
"Oi! Don't tire out my fiancé! You're the father, you stay up, Inuyasha stays up when he gets kids." Kagome said grinning.
"I agree with her." Inutaisho said as he handed Mina to Sesshomaru. "Mina is your child, your mother and I went to hell and back raising you and Inuyasha."
Sesshomaru snorted. "And I was told grandparents love their grandchildren more then the kids' own parents."
Izayoi giggled. "We do, but we're tired."
Sesshomaru sighed. "The love I get," He murmured.
Kagome laughed as she went upstairs to find her fiancé sleeping peacefully on his bed.
She walked to his closet and saw her Prom dress hanging in the side of his closet. He had offered to keep it at his place until it was Prom and Kagome agreed. Her dress was blood red and was strapless. It hugged all her curves and flared down to her legs. It had a slit running up to her knee so she could walk. It had diamonds and sequins decorating it and had a small flower belt hanging loosely around her waist. She saw the shoes and jewels on the shelf above his closet. Silver strapped high heels and silver diamond jewels. She sighed as she put her purse on his night stand and crawled into bed beside him.
She wrapped an arm around his bare torso and snuggled in against him. He instantly put an arm around her waist and moved his body (subconsciously of course) against hers.
"Kagome," He murmured as his breath tickled her cheek. Kagome smiled as she kissed his forehead. They were like that for a few moments before Mina started crying again, causing Inuyasha to wake up. He shook awake and saw his beloved fiancée in bed next to him. He laughed. "Hey sexy,"
"Hi, tired?"
"Mina is one powerful baby, I swear she'll be exactly like Rin when she grows up."
Kagome slapped him playfully. "Now that's not a nice thing to say."
Inuyasha chuckled. "Let's see if you can calm her down." He said as he threw on a baggy black t-shirt. The couple walked downstairs to find a groggy Rin attending to her daughter.
"I guess you have to fix Mina next time," Inuyasha said softly as Kagome hugged him.
It was now the night of Prom. Kagome had her hair straightened and Sango curled this time around. Sango had a beautiful black dress that was also strapless. It was two layers, the top layer was black mesh with blue flower patterns on it and the bottom layer was a midnight blue colour. It hugged all of her curves but ended like a salsa dress at her legs. She had black sandals and black princess gloves.
The two girls were accompanying Miroku to Limo number 1 while Inuyasha was taking some of their other friends in Limo number 2. Miroku drooled when he arrived at the Higurashi Shrine, he couldn't believe he was with these two girls for an ENTIRE ride to Prom.
"I can't take pictures?" Korari pouted.
Kagome laughed. "Take pictures when Yashie and I come home."
"Ok!" Korari said energetically as she snapped pictures of Miroku and Sango. Finally they were off.
"How do you think Kikyo's holding up? She kept on shooting Yashie-kun death glares for the past few months." Kagome said.
Sango and Miroku laughed. "Who cares, I find it funny that Kikyo is going with Hojo to prom, HOJO of all people!"
Kagome giggled. "True. Who do you think is winning Prom queen this year?"
"It had better be you," Miroku said growling, "if Yasha is Prom King, he only needs his fiancée to be Prom queen."
Kagome blushed. "Shut up Miroku,"
"And you better get your hand off my ass before I slap you on Prom night." Sango said dangerously as Miroku withdrew his hand.
Kagome laughed. "Miroku," She shook her head.
They arrived and Miroku escorted both the girls out. They walked inside to find Inuyasha and the entire crew already on the dance floor, dancing. Kagome smiled as the three of them walked over to the crew.
"Kagome!" Ayame grinned as she hugged her best friend.
"Hey Aya-chan," Kagome smiled.
"Oh my god, you had better be Prom Queen chika, your dress is sexy!" Eri squealed.
Kagome batted her eyelashes. "Isn't it? My beloved fiancé picked it out."
"Damn, a man with taste." Yuka said grinned.
"Oh yes, and you all will find out who he is tonight." Kagome smirked. Inuyasha had to admit, her smirk looked oddly like his. He smiled slightly.
Kikyo bounded over with Hojo on her tail. "Hey there Takahashi," She said rudely.
"Sure, hi." Inuyasha said. Kikyo smirked. "Haven't you got a date?"
"Oh yeah I do, Sweetheart." Inuyasha said casually.
"Where is she?" Kikyo said glaring at all the girls around Inuyasha.
"She's here, you'll find out when she and I are announced Prom King and Queen."
"I'm Prom Queen! Not her!"
Inuyasha laughed. "Have you noticed, whoever is my date to Prom is always Queen. For our freshman year, it was you, for the years after that it was… you since you were always my date. Tonight, it's Sweetheart's time to shine."
Kagome would have kissed him right then and there if they weren't keeping this secret thing up.
Kikyo glared at them all before leaving. Inuyasha and the other men laughed as the girls grinned at each other.
"Dude Yasha," Kouga said, "the way you dumped Kikyo, classic!"
Inuyasha laughed as Miroku clapped his back. "If only we were there."
Everybody laughed and started to dance around. Kagome and Inuyasha quietly shared some dances together before Prom King and Queen were announced. A teacher walked up on stage and everybody hushed up.
"I guess this marks the end of another year! All of your examinations begin in three weeks and then after that, graduation!"
Everybody cheered.
"Now, what we've all be waiting for, King and Queen." The teacher got two envelopes, two crowns and a staff. She opened the first envelope and laughed.
"Of course, our King is Takahashi Inuyasha."
Everybody screamed, especially the girls of the school as Inuyasha walked up on stage, blowing kisses and smiling at them all. The teacher put the crown on his head and handed him his staff.
"And now, drum roll please!" She said. All the students held their breath, knowing that Inuyasha dumped Kikyo, anybody could be Queen.
"The prom Queen for year 2005 is… Higurashi Kagome!"
Kikyo screamed as everybody cheered. Kagome walked up to the stage, smiling as the teacher put the crown on her head. She stood beside Inuyasha and the smiled at each other.
"And now, the yearly speech the King gives to his subjects." The teacher said as Inuyasha walked to the mic with Kagome behind him.
"I guess this is the last year that I'm your King," He said as everybody booed. "Oh come on! I have to go to university and study to get a good caree-" he trialed off and everybody laughed, catching onto his joke. "Smart," Inuyasha smiled at them all.
"Anyways, whatever I said last year, blah blah blah blah blah- and now the moment we've all been waiting for since Winter fest!"
Everybody shrieked and jumped as Inuyasha laughed. "She's not wearing a mask today,"
Everybody quieted down and looked around.
"But before I get to that, I want to congratulate Higurashi Kagome, on becoming Prom Queen this year, congratulations." He smirked at her and she winked at him.
"And now, I want to say something ELSE before I get to the identity of my Sweetheart. I broke up with Kikyo, as you all know, and I've hooked up with Sweetheart."
Everybody roared in acceptance.
"But another thing, Sweetheart and I," He trailed off and everybody quieted down. "are engaged."
Everybody was quiet for a split second before drowning in cheers. Inuyasha could see his friends clueing into Kagome's fiancé and his Sweetheart.
"AND TIME FOR THE MOMENT OF TRUTH!" He roared.
"NOW!" The crowd screamed.
"My Sweetheart is none other than my fiancée, my beloved, my one and only, PROM QUEEN HIGURASHI KAGOME!"
You must tell me you love me! Tell me you love me now! HAH! Inuyasha broke up with Kikyo in the meanest possible way, he revealed Kagome in the weirdest possible way… and now you have to wait!
