Kikyo smiled as she walked out the building's door. 'That was easy. I'm sure to become a big star acting opposite Inuyasha. Dating him is just adds to the stardom. After all, why would I ever want to date a guy with dog ears?' Her name was Kikyo Ikeda and she had been trying to become a star for six years. She'd been kicked out of her house when she was ten and had found herself living in a district where acting jobs abounded. Working as an extra, she made enough money to rent an apartment, have nice clothes, and eat out at restaurants. But thanks to that dopey Inuyasha mistaking her for someone else she would be rich. Little did she know the gods punish those who manipulate others.
Act III
Scene I "Mirror, Mirror in the Door"
Inuyasha was practically looking out of the window every ten seconds. It was six fifty-nine and he had determined that this time he would kiss her first, and not the other way around. He finally saw her coming up to the house and swung open the door before she even knocked.
"Hello Inu..." her voice was drowned out when he pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply.
"And that, Kagome, was when he..." Sango walked through the door and dropped her shopping bags on the floor. Miroku was right behind her.
"Why did you stop Lady..." His voice trailed off as he looked at the couple kissing in the doorway. Inuyasha's eyes flew open at the sounds of their voices. When he didn't see Kagome with them, even though Sango had been talking to her he grew suspicious. He quickly pulled back and looked closely at the girl in his arms.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed running out of the room.
Kagome was still stunned at the fact that Inuyasha had kissed her. "What in the world...?"
That was when Kikyo walked up to see three people standing in the doorway. "Hello," she ventured.
"Hi, Kagome. Did you see Inuyasha kiss Kagome?" That was when Miroku realized what he had said. Freaked out, he jumped behind Sango for protection. He pointed at the door. "There are two Kagomes!"
The girl in the door giggled. "I'm Kikyo. I'm here to meet Inuyasha for our date. Who is Kagome?"
Sango wordlessly pointed to the girl who was still dazed. She was standing in the same place as before but now her hand was on her lips. "Was that real?"
Kikyo jumped when she saw the other girl. Was she the one everyone was mistaking her for? While she was watching the other girl she saw Inuyasha poke his head around the corner.
"Inuyasha!" she called out and ran over to him.
Inuyasha freaked out and started running away, thinking that Kikyo was Kagome. Kikyo stopped and stared after him. She looked down at her clothes. Was it what she was wearing?
That was when Miroku realized what was happening, burst out laughing, and started to roll around on the floor. Sango stared at him like he had gone insane. His laughing knocked Kagome out of her daze.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Inuyasha thought you were Kikyo," he said, laughing hysterically. "They were supposed to go on a date and when he saw you he thought you were her and he kissed you." He stopped rolling around on the floor and looked up. "Did you know you are wearing pink underwear Lady Sango?"
Sango blushed and kicked him in the head with her foot before grabbing her bags and stomping off. "HENTAI!" she screamed over her shoulder.
Miroku followed her, trying to apologize. He only made it worse, however, when he mentioned that he thought they looked very cute on her.
Kagome meanwhile was sorting through what Miroku had said. 'He thought I was someone else. Of course that's why he kissed me. He would never have kissed me if he knew it was me. He hates me, I know that. Why is my heart still racing, then?' She glanced at the befuddled girl standing in the entranceway.
She smiled and said, "Try his room. It's second to the right at the top of the steps."
Kikyo nodded. "Thanks."
Kagome watched her go up the stairs and followed her. She saw Kikyo stop at Inuyasha's room but she continued to her own. She fell on her bed and tears began to race down her cheeks.
"I hate him!" she thought aloud, but her heart said differently.
Act III
Scene II "I'm the Moth and She's the Flame"
Inuyasha opened his door to the insistent knocking.
When he saw who it was, he jumped back and screamed, "Don't hurt me! I'm sorry!"
She smiled at him and replied, "Why are you sorry? Are you ready to go on our date?"
Inuyasha uncurled from his fetal position on the floor. "Kikyo?"
She laughed. "Who were you expecting, the bogeyman?"
He stood up and kissed her. "Nah. My brain was just acting weird. Do you want to go see a movie?"
"Sure, there's a new one out that looks cool." She wrapped her arm around his and they headed out.
As Inuyasha walked out of the door a single misplaced thought ran through his mind. 'I liked Kagome's kiss better. She tastes like strawberries. Kikyo's kiss is more like blueberries.'
They climbed in the back of the limousine and headed for the movies. When they reached the theater, Kikyo pointed at the poster of the movie she wanted to see. You're Burning Up My Dreams, a chick flick. 'Ugh. I hate chick flicks. They're all romantic and gushy. The only good thing about chick flicks is making out in the middle of them.'
After picking up their tickets, Inuyasha told Kikyo to grab the seats while he got the snacks.
When he got up to the counter the lady was staring at him. "One large popcorn and two medium cokes. And a box of M&M's." The lady kept staring at him. "What?" She pointed across the lobby at a poster. It was for his newest movie, Love Just Is. "Oh, he's my cousin. I would wear my hair differently than him, but this look picks up the ladies, you know?" he lied with the ability of a spy, or perhaps an experienced actor, which, of course, he was. The lady finally snapped out of her astonishment. She quickly put together his order.
"Thirteen dollars and sixty-five cents."
He handed her the money and headed towards the theater. He lived in an area where most people were either too busy to watch movies, too busy to notice things around them, or they knew other actors. The truth was, he didn't get noticed that much. It never occurred to him that he ought to have hoards of fan girls following his every move.
He entered the theater and saw Kikyo in the middle row of seats, right in the center. He took a seat just as the previews for new movies had started. He usually didn't pay attention to the ads but one caught his eye. A shot of a shrine was on the screen. It wasn't the shrine that he noticed but rather the voiceover.
"Kagome Higurashi was a normal fifteen year old girl. She had friends, attended school, and lived with her mother, brother, and grandfather. That all changed the day she fell into the Bone Eater's Well and found herself in feudal Japan."
The view changed to a forest.
"In a series of events she discovers that she must join Inuyasha, a hanyou, in a journey to gather the shards of a sacred jewel that has the power to make a hanyou into human or to give a youkai the power to rule the world. They must work to complete the jewel and destroy Naraku, the most evil youkai in all of Japan. Amidst treachery, deceit, new friendships, betrayal, and secrets, can these two learn to love? Starring Inuyasha Takahashi and newcomer Kagome Higurashi, Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairytale will be released next year. Not yet rated."
Inuyasha sighed. There was no way to back out now. They hadn't started filming yet and his mother was already doing publicity. At least she hadn't given an exact date of release.
As the movie started, Kikyo snuggled up against him and he draped his arm around her shoulders. About fifteen minutes into the two-hour movie he fell asleep.
Inuyasha walked into a small house he had never seen before, but he knew it was his home. He saw someone sitting in a chair. He knew it was a woman when she started to speak.
"Welcome home, sweetheart. I have dinner almost done. We can eat as soon as I finish feeding Sato his bottle. Did you know Sakura got her first acting job this morning?"
He saw the woman move her arms and he heard a baby burp. He saw her place the baby in the bassinet in front of her and he started towards her.
"You mean Sakura Higurashi?"
The woman laughed. She turned to him but he was looking at the baby in the bassinet who had tiny claws and silver hair. He felt the woman hug him and then she gave him a kiss.
She pulled back and said, "Not Mom, our daughter, silly."
He looked at her but her hair was covering her face. Her mom was Sakura Higurashi? That means she's... The woman looked up and his golden eyes met blue ones. He had married Kagome!
That was when he had woken up screaming. Kikyo glanced at him. She had never seen someone scream just because the people on the screen had started kissing.
Luckily for Inuyasha, the only other person in the theater was an old man taking a nap. When Inuyasha's eyes had readjusted to the dark he realized that he had only been dreaming. He glanced at his watch. Only one hour into the movie. He relaxed back against the seat, but he refused to fall back to sleep. He didn't want to have another nightmare. Inuyasha had never seen Disney's Cinderella, so he had no idea that...
"A dream is a wish your heart makes."
Act III
Scene III "Working Through The Pain"
Kagome woke up to find dried tears on her face. 'Why was I crying?' At that moment everything came flooding back. She had to push away the tears that came back with the memories. Inuyasha hated her, but he had kissed her. When he had kissed her, Kagome realized that she didn't hate him and that she had never hated him. In fact she loved him. As she lay there crying memories came flooding back.
Two five-year-olds in the park. Inuyasha was pushing her on the swings and complaining about wanting a turn.
Kagome and Inuyasha meeting for the first time. She had pulled on his ears to see if they were real and he had bitten her.
Inuyasha making funny faces at the dinner after her father's funeral. He always knew just how to make her laugh.
Her first kiss. He had given her a kiss and she had given him her heart.
Inuyasha laughing.
Inuyasha pouting.
Inuyasha growling.
Inuyasha smiling.
Inuyasha yelling.
Inuyasha being Inuyasha.
She loved him. She had fallen for him on that fateful cruise.
And now she would have to live and act with him for a year. Watch him interact with his girlfriends. Watch him date her look-alike. Watch him be himself.
Kagome started to cry. He would never kiss her again unless it was a mistake. But she would kiss him every night in her dreams. She would love him in her heart. She would pray for him. She would wish the best of life for him.
And on the outside she would hate him.
Act III
Scene IV "Welcome To Our Family"
The next morning, after Inuyasha's date and Kagome's revelation, they were once again woken up by a voice.
"GOOOOOOD MORNING! Wake Up Everyone! It's six o'clock! Wakey, Wakey, Eggs and Bakey! I would like all of you to get dressed and ready and at breakfast in half an hour. We need to discuss many things about the upcoming movie. That will be all."
The voice was so abrupt that it made Kagome fall out of bed. She had just been dreaming about Inuyasha. He had made her mad in her dream. The first thing she yelled when she woke up?
"SIT, BOY!"
A thump came from down the hall. Inuyasha woke up to find he had crashed straight through his bed. Spitting out goose feathers from his pillow he climbed out of the broken bed. 'The wench dies!' was his first thought. He stumbled over to the closet and yanked out a set of clothes. After pulling them on he ran into Kagome's room. Not finding her there he ran into the bathroom. She was getting dressed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HENTAI!"
Inuyasha stepped back and she slammed the door shut. When he realized what he had just done he turned beet red and dashed out of the room and straight to the dining room. His defective mind thought that if he were at the table when Kagome walked in, she would forget about what happened.
That was not the case. Kagome threw on her clothes and stomped out her door. As she left the room she almost ran into Sango. "Where is that hentai?" she demanded.
Sango stared at her. "Miroku?"
Kagome continued running. Sango obviously didn't know, so she would have to find him herself.
Over her shoulder she yelled, "NO, THE OTHER ONE!"
Sango shrugged and went back into her room to finish getting ready.
Kagome stomped into the dining room on a hunch. She didn't see Inuyasha who was cowering under the table. "SIT, SIT, SIT, and SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"
She heard the crash and looked under the tablecloth. Inuyasha raised his head and saw her.
"Don't hurt me!" he cried.
Kagome smiled maliciously. "I'm sorry Inuyasha," she said in her sweetest voice. "Please come out. I just want to say sorry." He pulled himself out of the crater and came out from under the table. She put her hand out to him and helped him up. As soon as he was standing she said, "SIT!" As she walked out of the door she looked over her shoulder. "Don't ever do that again or, not only will I S-I-T you, I will kick you where the sun don't shine."
Inuyasha just whimpered and Kagome went to finish getting ready. The others walked into the dining room to see Inuyasha still impacted in the floor.
Miroku smiled lecherously. "What did you do this time, my friend?" For a hole that deep it had to be big.
Inuyasha rolled out of the hole; his back was too sore to stand. "I went into her bathroom."
Miroku's smile disappeared. "That's all?" he asked, disappointed.
Inuyasha groaned. "She was changing."
Miroku's smile returned. "Good job, man!" Sango smacked Miroku upside the head and went to find Kagome. Miroku stayed in the dining room and kept asking Inuyasha what it was like. Sango reached the top of the steps and heard a loud bonk and a sound like a shattering vase came from the room she had just exited. She walked into Kagome's room.
The upset girl was sitting on the bed, tears streaming down her face and anger in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"That... that HENTAI walked in on me in the bathroom!" Sango smiled.
"You like him, don't you?" Kagome looked at her with and emotion akin to shock.
"Why do you think that I like that letch?" she asked.
Sango smiled. "Because you are acting like I act when Miroku does something perverted."
Kagome looked slyly at her friend. "You do realize you just said that you like Miroku?"
Sango turned red. "What are you talking about? I never said that!"
"Yes you did!" Sango turned even redder when she realized that she had indeed said that.
"Ok, so what if I did? You never answered my question." Kagome blushed brighter than Sango. "I knew you liked him!"
Kagome sighed sadly. "Yeah, but now he has a girlfriend. And he hates me."
Sango smiled. 'Well, we'll just have to change that, now won't we?' Out loud she said, "We had better get downstairs. It's almost six thirty and the voice is expecting us."
Kagome giggled and followed Sango down the stairs. When she entered the dining room she ignored Inuyasha. That was when Yuma walked in and they all took a seat. She stared at Inuyasha and Kagome, who were studiously ignoring each other, Sango, who had a mischievous look on her face, and Miroku, who was rubbing a rather large bump on his head. She didn't even notice the broken vase she stepped on to get to her seat.
"Good morning, everyone. I hope I didn't wake you. I needed you four to meet the other main characters today. They will be arriving in thirty minutes. I trust you have read through the character descriptions." They all nodded. "Good! Here is the first scene we will be shooting. It will be shot in the Higurashi shrine. As you can see, out of you four, only Kagome will need to learn lines. Most of the time movie scenes are shot out of order, but in order to better choose the ending we will start from the beginning. Therefore, it will be about a month before we bring you three in. However, we will all be living on location at the shoots in order to receive the inheritances that belong to each of us, or in Sango and Kohaku's case, because the rest of us will be there. Oh, hello. Come on in!"
The dining room door had opened revealing Sesshoumaru, Kagura, and a little girl. "Hello mother."
"Good morning Sesshoumaru, Kagura. Oh, Rin, you look just darling today!" Yuma ran over to the little girl and swept her into her arms. "You are the cutest granddaughter ever!"
"Rin loves Grand-Yuma!"
Yuma giggled. She turned to the teens.
"Isn't she sweet? She will be playing Rin in the movie, of course. Sesshoumaru and Kagura will be playing their respective parts as well. They are the last of the people who will be going by their own names."
"Ahem!"
Kikyo walked from behind the door. "Kikyo!" Inuyasha exclaimed, jumping up and giving her a kiss.
Kagome felt like crying but she willed the tears away. She looked back to Yuma.
"Oh, of course! This is Kikyo. She will be playing Kikyo! I had forgotten about that. What I meant was that they were all of the people whose characters were given the same names as them on purpose. She had the same name entirely by coincidence."
From behind Kikyo a voice said, "Hello," and everyone moved from the doorway. A tall man with black hair walked in, followed by a young boy with light brownish red hair and an older boy with dark brown hair.
"These are Hitachi, who plays Naraku, Keiji, who plays Shippo, and Ikeda, also to be known as Kouga."
At that time, she returned to her seat, "Come sit down. I was just discussing that this movie will be a bit of an oddity. All the scenes will be taped in order. The reason is because when my husband was writing his story, he wrote two endings. I will choose the one I think works best once the rest of the movie has been shot. Until then, here are the complete scripts, minus the ending. These are more of an overview than the real script. Some editing will be done and released in later editions of the script. Oh, yes! These three are Kagome, Sango, and Miroku. I'm assuming that you all recognize Inuyasha. I have some things to take care of, so until I return, eat plenty of breakfast and get to know one another." They all stared at her amazed by the fact that she had barely taken one deep breath during the entire spiel.
She went to sprint out the door but stopped before she reached it. "One last thing. In order for you all to better understand your characters, along with allowing easier communication, you will all go by your characters' names and try to assume their traits, too. You all may need to help Rin and Shippo with this. Bye!"
Inuyasha sighed. 'My mother is insane.'
Everybody started passing the food around and talking, except for Sesshoumaru, who just acted indifferent. Inuyasha was dishing some bacon on his plate when he heard a conversation down the table.
"Well, Kagome. It appears that I fall madly in love with you. Want to see if it will happen in real life too?"
Kagome blushed. "I prefer not to date."
Kouga gave an overly dramatic gasp. "A beauty like yourself depriving us men of dates? That's cruel!"
Kagome giggled. She might not like him in that way but he was definitely funny. "I'm sure only you feel that way, Kouga."
"Nonsense. I'm certain every man who sees you fall head over heels in love with you. I myself am living proof."
Kagome's smile slightly disappeared. 'Inuyasha isn't 'head over heels' in love with me.' She tried to get rid of her gloomy mood and giggled. She didn't notice Inuyasha get out of his seat and pull a sword off of the wall until he was beside her. "Leave her alone," he growled.
Kouga smiled. "I'm sorry I didn't realize you loved Kagome." Inuyasha almost dropped his sword. Kikyo heard that one sentence and grew quite interested in what was happening at the other end of the table.
"I don't love that wench!" Kagome felt tears spring to her eyes at his words.
"SIT BOY!" he crashed to the ground. "Kouga was just following your mother's instructions. Leave him be." She turned to Kouga. "Forgive Inuyasha. He's an idiot. Please excuse me." She ran out of the room.
"Gee, dog face. You really upset her."
'What did I do?'
Shippo started jumping up and down nearby. "Go apologize to Kagome!"
"Why should I apologize, runt?" he asked, picking Shippo up by the waistband of his shorts.
Miroku answered from the other end of the table. "You were the one who made her mad, therefore you have the responsibility of apologizing."
"Whatever," he said, stomping off. He did go to Kagome's room. He heard her crying inside.
He knocked on the door, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
"I hear you crying. Please tell me what I did."
"NOTHING!"
"What did I do? I'm not moving from this spot until you tell me."
Kagome cried even harder. She didn't want to talk to him after what he said. So she made him move.
"SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, AND SIT!"
Inuyasha crashed right through the floor and found himself in the restroom just as Sango walked in. "HENTAI!"
Miroku stuck his head around the door. "You called!"
"DOUBLE HENTAI!" She pulled her big boomerang out of thin air and knocked both boys unconscious.
When Inuyasha woke up he had one thought on his mind. 'Kagome is PURE, CONCENTRATED... EVIL!'
Act III
Scene V "Grandpa and the Real Shikon no Tama"
Kagome smiled as she walked through the door. Breathing in the slightly musty smell, she closed her eyes. She was home. They had finally begun the taping and it was time for Kagome to report to the storehouse for the first scene. She and Grandpa would be in it, along with Buyo. She'd wanted to stop by the house first, though, just to catch a whiff of its familiar smell.
She walked out the door and ran into a sturdy, but soft, 'wall,' "Jeez, watch where you're going, wench! Everybody's looking for you."
"Inuyasha, turn around." After he did that she pushed him into the middle of the courtyard. "SIT, BOY!"
Kagome stomped off and Miroku found Inuyasha plastered to the ground. "Wow, you made cracks in the concrete! What did you say this time?"
Inuyasha sat up, sneezing the concrete dust out of his nose. "Since when did you dance around in circles like a ballerina, Miroku?"
Miroku blanched. "What are you talking about?"
Inuyasha didn't seem to hear him. "Did you know that there are little birdies flying around your head?"
"Um, I hear Sango calling for me. Bye!" Miroku slowly backed away, turned, and sprinted away from Inuyasha.
"Sango called for him? All I can hear is those birds that were flying around Miroku chirping. You know what? Kagome's pretty cute." He had been rather oblivious to what he was saying until that phrase came out. "THAT WENCH! She probably gave me a concussion. I'll get her someday, as soon as I get this dumb necklace off."
Kagome, meanwhile, had found her way to the storeroom and was getting set up for the scene. Gramps was acting like his usual self, in other words he was telling everyone who would listen the true legend of the real Shikon no Tama. Kagome actually wanted to listen for once. She had no idea that Mr. Takahashi had based his story on a real legend.
"The Shikon no Tama is also known as the Jewel of Four Souls. It was born of a woman, a priestess. In her time wars and famines covered the land and youkai devoured the dead and near dead. This allowed their numbers to grow to immense proportions. Many priests and warriors tried to destroy them. There was but one priestess who could purify youkai souls and render them harmless. Her name was Midoriko. She was the most powerful human of her time. In her world, everything on earth was created through the Shikon, or the four souls. Ara-mitama is courage. Nigi-mitama is friendship. Kushi-mitama is wisdom. Saki-mitama is love. When combined together they become the soul of one person, housed in the heart. When the four souls work together in harmony it is called naohi and the human heart is filled with goodness. At one point many youkai combined together to wage a battle against the powerful Midoriko. She fought for seven days and seven nights, but a youkai got his fangs into her. She reached deep inside her body for strength with her last ounce of energy. She seized the youkai's soul, but in so doing she forced out her own soul. What came out of her was the Shikon no Tama. She was unable to purify the youkai's soul, and all she could do was seize and imprison it along with herself. Even though the flesh had died, inside the jewel the youkai's soul and Midoriko's still fought. A war between souls was still raging inside the sacred jewel."
At this point most of the people had stopped what they were doing and were listening to the story. Kagome knew Gramps was excited that he had audience for once. The story was very interesting. Gramps was sitting on the floor and others had settled around him. He continued with the rest of the story.
"Several centuries after that the village of youkai exterminators who had been guarding the jewel learned of a powerful priestess who was able to purify it. They left it with her and she protected it from all youkai. Then she met a hanyou. He wanted the jewel so that he could become a full-fledged youkai. As he and the priestess met in many battles, they fell in love. The priestess revealed to him that if he used the jewel to become a human it would be completely purified and would disappear, allowing the priestess to marry him. He agreed and they were to meet the next morning. But an evil youkai wanted its power for himself, so he tricked the two into turning against one another. In the battle that ensued, the priestess died and the hanyou was pinned to a tree by a spell. The jewel was burned with the priestess's body and for fifty years it disappeared. Then a young woman from another country appeared, and the jewel came out of her body. When a demon tried to steal it, she freed the hanyou from his enchantment and he helped her to retrieve it. While they were trying to get the jewel back, it broke into many shards. How and why this happened has been lost over time. They journeyed together along with a young kitsune, a monk, and a youkai exterminator. Together they battled the youkai who had caused the death of the priestess and defeated him. When the jewel had been unified the girl and the hanyou used their powers along with the jewel to purify the souls of every being on Earth. That is why some people have different features than the rest of us, like Inuyasha's ears. Once the youkai had been purified they began to intermarry with humans. No one knows what happened to the girl and the hanyou after that. Some say they died after the purifying. The popular idea is that they fell in love, moved to the girl's country, and got married."
Every one was stunned. The story was almost exactly like what the movie script said, except for the fact that the girl came from the future, instead of another country, and the first priestess was brought back to life in a body of clay.
"Wow. That was a real story, Grandpa?" Kagome asked.
Nodding, the old man smiled. "And you all thought my storytelling was pointless."
Kagome cringed. "Sorry Gramps."
That was when Inuyasha walked in to find everyone sitting around talking. "What did I miss?"
Kagome rolled her eyes at him. "Grandpa was telling us the true legend behind the movie. It was quite interesting."
"When have that old geezer's stories ever been interesting?" Inuyasha said with a smirk.
Grandpa just huffed and turned his back on him. "Stupid teens. In my generation we were kind to our elders."
"When was that, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth?" Inuyasha burst out laughing and didn't even notice when Kagome pushed him out the door and to the top of the shrine steps.
"SIT BOY!" Inuyasha face planted and Kagome kicked him.
"OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Inuyasha had fallen down the steps after Kagome's foot "accidentally" connected with his head.
Miroku ran over to check on him. "Hey bud! You know you really shouldn't have said that."
Inuyasha groaned, "Miroku, stop dancing around in circles. It's making me dizzy. Who's your twin, by the way?"
"Inuyasha, I think you have a concussion. I'm just gonna go get a doctor."
Inuyasha stood up. "Nonsense, I'm fine. At lease I would be if these birds would stop flying around my head."
Miroku was a little worried, so he decided to do the one thing that would wake Inuyasha out of his stupor. "Did you know Kagome agreed to bear my child?"
Inuyasha's eyes flew open and they developed a slightly red tinge. "What did you say, Miroku?"
Miroku smiled nervously. "I think you have a concussion?"
Inuyasha growled. "After that."
"Kagome agreed to bear my child?"
"I'm giving you a ten second head start. One... two... three..."
Miroku took off running. He saw Sango and darted behind her. "Save me; he's gonna kill me."
Sango stared at Miroku. "What did you say this time?"
Miroku closed his eyes. "Kagome agreed to bear my child?"
"WHAT?"
He took off running and saw Kagome. He cowered behind said girl.
"Hide me, quick!"
Then Inuyasha ran up with Sango behind him. "Why in the world did you ever agree to that, wench?"
Thinking he meant letting Miroku hide behind her, she said, "I never actually agreed." She put her hand to her stomach. It was feeling kind of queasy. 'Must have been that egg salad.' Aloud she said, "It just kinda happened."
Inuyasha stared at her and Sango burst out crying. "How could you Kagome?"
Miroku saw Sango's tears and he rushed to her side. "Lady Sango, don't cry. I will let you bear my child." He hadn't seen Kagome's hand move to her stomach, the same hand Inuyasha was currently staring at.
"You mean it... it already happened?" Inuyasha blurted out.
Kagome stared at him. "Um... yeah," she said slowly. She still thought he meant letting Miroku hide behind her.
That was when Sango slapped Miroku. "You hentai! Just go marry Kagome. She already has your child inside of her."
She ran away crying and Miroku followed after her. "What are you talking about? I never touched Kagome!"
Inuyasha turned back to Kagome just as another wave of nausea hit. "Are you okay?"
"I'm gonna throw up!" she groaned. Inuyasha picked her up and sprinted to the bathroom. He got her there just in time. As she expelled her lunch, he held her hair back from her face.
'It's true. She must be pregnant. Everyone knows that pregnant women get sick.'
Kagome sat up and wiped her mouth off. "What was Sango talking about?"
Inuyasha gaped. 'She doesn't know she's pregnant?' He turned red. Someone had to tell her, but why did it have to be him?
"She meant that Miroku had gotten you pregnant."
Kagome stared at him like he had a third head, not that he even had a second one. "Why did she say that?"
Inuyasha turned redder. "Miroku said you had agreed to bear his child, and then when I asked why you agreed you said it had just happened. Why with
"I never agreed to bear his child and I never did anything that would make it happen, even on accident. I mean, EW, how could you think I would do something like that with MIROKU?"
Inuyasha's face was returning to normal. "But your hand was on your stomach, and you threw up!"
She shrugged. "I had a bad egg salad for lunch."
Inuyasha grinned menacingly. "Miroku is gonna die."
Kagome smiled too. "I have a better idea..."
A/N: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My first major cliffhanger! Please feel free to get mad at me, I don't really care, just as long as you REVIEW!
P.S. Look for the next chapter in about two and a half weeks.
Please review and read my other story, "Learning About Love." ;)
Watch the shiny necklace...
You are getting sleepy...
Very, very sleepy...
You are now asleep...
You will review this story...
On the count of three you will wake up- One... Two... Three...
So, are you going to review?
(In zombie-type voices) "Yes, I am reviewing right now."
GOOD! Mwahahahahahahahahaha!
Review!
