I know that some of you like where this is going and some of you don't, but this is just for the drama. Give me a break and enjoy!

Note from me: (Important)I was ready to cry today... over something so simple, yet so complex to my heart. My mother and my brothers seem to hate me today. It's as though I'm the only one they have to hate. My older brother called me a useless piece of shit. At first it made my insides twist with annoyance, sorrow, and regret for all the wrongs I've ever done and than I thought about you all and my fan fictions. I realized as long as I have fans I'm not useless, because I'm making someone, somewhere happy and that's all that matters.

Chapter 19: Waiting

Kagome placed her hand on her stomach. 'Gods no! Is this what I get for being selfish.' Kagome frowned. If it was what she thought her mother would kill her, but not before her father killed Inuyasha.

Kagome leaned over and moaned. She was definitely sick.

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome as the teacher continued her lesson. He wondered what was wrong with her. She had seemed a little queasy this morning, but I guess she was feeling even worse now.

"Hey.. Kagome." Kagome looked over at Inuyasha's worried expression.

"Inuyasha?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... I'm just not feeling well.." Kagome said. Inuyasha could have sworn her face literally turned green for a moment.

"Is something wrong?" The teacher interrupted Inuyasha and Kagome's conversation rudely. She glared daggers at the two, ignoring Kagome's sick look. "If you two are going to speak when I'm taking you might as well come up and tell the whole class about your conversation.

Inuyasha growled at the crude woman.

"None of your business ya old hag." Inuyasha replied. The others in the class all laughed. That was the third time this month that Inuyasha had called that teacher an old hag.

The teacher huffed.

"I'm sure you and Higurashi wouldn't mind going down to the office than and having a chat with the principal."

"But Kagome had nothing to do with it."

"You two were talking. Now go." The teacher spit out. Kagome moaned louder. She wouldn't be able to hold the vomit in any longer.

Kagome stood up and ran from the classroom.

The teacher took a moment to process that Kagome was not feeling well. She thought it best to send just Inuyasha down to the office and send Kagome to the nurse.

"Kagome." Inuyasha got up quicky to follow her, but she was long gone. Inuyasha looked around the halls and found her smell coming from the women's room. He smelt her vomit (gross), but more oddly he smelt her tears. He walked over to the womans bathroom and stood next to the door. Kagome was mumbling somethings, but he couldn't make the words out.

"How could I be so dumb." Kagome mumbled as she cried over the toilet. 'We didn't even use protection. What if I'm pregnant. My life will be ruined. I'm to young. I'll lose all my family's respect. I'll lose my chance at a descent education.' She cried some more and than stood up. She thought over the fact that she had run from the classroom without explaining that she was sick. She also knew that Inuyasha was probably worried and confused about the whole situaution.

Kagome wiped her mouth. She would just get a cheap test today and go home early. That was really all she could do.

Kagome opened the door to exit and saw Inuyasha standing there. He practically fell over, because the door had been his support system and in opening it, Kagome had taken that away from him.

"You never said you were that sick." Inuyasha said crossing his arms one he regained his balance. "Do you have a cold or something?"

"I don't know." Kagome said. I'm going to the nurse. I need some rest."

"Well I'm coming with you."

"NO!... I mean no... you've been missing to much school. You stay. I'll go and I'll just see you at home later." Kagome said as she walked off.

Inuyasha growled. He had officially been left in the dust.

Later

Kagome had perchused the device needed, no matter how embarresing it had been. She had hated the fact that the person managing the cash register had know she was sexually active. It lowered her pride a little.

Kagome was now pacing in her room. She was NOT ready to know the truth. She would be relieved if she wasn't pregnant, but if she was she would have to find someway to live with it... That is... if there is a way.

Kagome sat on her bad and stared at her knees for a few moments and than at the box on her dresser. She would have to find out eventually. Why not just find out now? Why wait in anticipation forever?

Kagome stood up and walked over to the box. A moment later a knock was heard.

"Kagome, dear?" Kagome's mom's voice sounded from the other side of the door. Kagome grabbed the box and tried to stuff it into her drawer, but the drawer was to stuffed to fit anything else. Kagome had no time to find another hiding place as the door opened. Quickly Kagome tossed it on her chair and sat on it. "Are you feeling better?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she walked in. "You seem kind of pale."

"I'm... feeling a little better, but I think I'm going to need some more sleep."

"Oh alright. Just wanted you to know that Inuyasha is coming up the shrine steps. I'll tell him not to bother you alright."

"That'd be great. Thanks." Mrs. Higurashi smiled and left. "Feel better." She shut the door and was gone.

Kagome sighed in relief and stood up. She looked at the now squashed box. 'Oh, man.' She picked up the box and opened it. She had snapped the test in two.

"Now I'll have to go and get another one." She said with a frown. She would have to wait until no one was home to watch her go to the store, especially Inuyasha, seeing as he would follow her like always. he didn't know to know about any of this until she was sure.

Kagome stuffed the broken test into her bag. She'd just trade it in for a new one that worked.

Kagome sat on the bed and let go of all her strain. Her head hit the pillow. She was so tired, probably from crying so much before.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha walked in. He shut it behind him. 'I guess my mom couldn't hold him off.' Kagome thought.

"Yeah?" She rolled over and faced him directly. Inuyasha walked over and sat on the bed next to her.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better."

"You know... If we were in the feudal era..." Inuyasha trailed off. Kagome frowned. "I could collect the medicines to make you better."

"It's okay. I know. I'll be fine." Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her forehead, rubbing some of the hair out of her face. "We'll find a way back Inuyasha. We have to. Please don't be sad." Inuyasha turned away from her.

"I'm.. not." He lied. 'And to think. I thought he had gotten over his secretive stage with me.' Kagome smiled. Nope. He was as stubborn as always. Kagome sat up and leaned against his back.

"I love you." Kagome said as she closed her eyes. Inuyasha was a little tense for a moment, but than settled.

"I... love you too, Kagome." He said a little sheepishly. Kagome smiled against his back.

"Glad to here it." Kagome pulled away from him for a moment. "How about we go make some hot tea and watch that movie we never got around to seeing."

"The Punisher?"

"Yeah." Kagome got up off the bed and left, followed by Inuyasha.

Later

'I'm glad that the supermarket is open 24/7." Kagome thought as she drove home from the store in her mothers car. (Now remember Kagome's 17, so yes she has a license, but no her mother never bothered getting a car for her since she was always away in the feudal era.) 'Mom will kill me if she finds out I took her car...' Kagome had waited until everyone was fast asleep before sneaking out to get the pregnancy test she needed.

As Kagome arrived at her home shrine she parked the car and was extremely quiet about walking into her home. Kagome made sure that the test was in her bag, just in case someone did see her up.

"What do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha's voice interupted Kagome. Kagome froze for a moment.

"Um.. I was going for a walk."

"With a car?"

"A drive."

"To where?"

"None of your business where." Kagome said angrily and ran up the stairs. She slammed her door quickly before Inuyasha could get to her. She locked the door and took a deep breath.

Kagome put her bag down and pulled out the test.

"Kagome." Inuyasha opened the door. Kagome should have known he could break the lock. She hid the test behind her back and looked at Inuyasha nervously. "What the hell are you hiding from me?"

"It's nothing." Kagome said.

"What's behind your back?" Inuyasha took a few steps closer and Kagome took a few back. Inuyasha was becoming more and more suspicious.

When Kagome could no longer back up, because of the bed and Inuyasha was only inches away from her Kagome realized she would have to think of something quick.

"Umm.." Kagome kissed Inuyasha deeply. Inuyasha was of course taking of guard. Kagome dropped the box and kicked it under her bed, while Inuyasha was to busy being kissed.

Kagome pulled away with a guilty smile and Inuyasha glared.

"That's playing dirty. Now show me what's behind your back." Inuyasha grabbed her hands and pulled them to her front, only to realize nothing was in her hands. He growled in irritation. "Where'd you hide it?"

"Hide what?"

"Don't play stupid. You know what I'm taking about."

"I told you I wasn't hiding anything."

Later

Kagome found herself drifting off to sleep. She had waited an hour for Inuyasha to fall back asleep and now she was waiting for her test results.

"I think I've waited long enough tonight." Kagome put her head on the pillow. 'Any minute.' She thought gratefully. 'I'll be able to sleep.'

When Kagome heard a loud ringing she quickly got up and turned off the test alarm. She sighed. It was the moment she was waiting all night for. Now was the time of truth. Kagome took a deep breath and prepared for the worst and the best.

Here we are with another cliff hanger. Sorry about that. I just had to do it.
