IT'S A WHAT!

I don't own Inuyasha... -cries hysterically-

ok so I'm doing long chapters but I'm also going to try and do 15 long chapters, like 3k words each... or something... hehe... I thought of some ideas, so... yeah... oh yeah and after this story is overrrr I have a surprise! When I mean over, I mean I've written ALL of my chapters. So here's the scoop: Lately, I've been talking to my mini-me (or so it seems, she's sort of like me), tK a.k.a. Temperamental Kagome. SOOOOO... after I finish this story and she finishes "Unknown Love" (It's InuSan, but it's a good one, sorta... I read it, but I don't review... BAD ME!) we're going to merge! She's going to transfer her story, "Kikyo, Kagome," to the new account and we'll finish it together. Then after that it's kind of a whatever. We'll both write oneshots and post it. Each story will say who it's made by, and if we BOTH made it together, we'll say so.

It will be so much fun! Heehheeee... we're gonna merge. Nice. So basically after the stories are done these accounts will be abandoned, but we'll still be on our new account. WE ARE:

tK-n00dle

And even though she writes the names like Kikyo, Shippo, Hojo... and I don't... well, as long as she spells Tessaiga as Tessaiga (and ya she does) I'm fine... so once we merge I'm gonna start doing Kikyo, Hojo, and Shippo too... not a big deal. Just thought I'd mention it to y'all!

Okay, here goes the story!

"Actually... guys... he's..." Kagome had trouble explaining it... her friends were over reactive when talking about a boyfriend, how would they take this? "He's... he's my hus-h-HUS-b-BA-nd. HUSBAND!" She finally got it out. Sure, it didn't hurt her at all - she loved Inuyasha, and she loved having him as a husband. But she had trouble telling other people. Well, most other people. She was kind of glad she'd finally got to talk to Houjou.

Houjou was shocked. "Kagome... you're...?" He didn't want to say it. Didn't want to face that the girl he once wanted was taken... by this weird guy in red clothes and a hat that he never took off. What was with that hat?

"Well... almost... it's a long story, guys..." she said, "but I can tell you all of it. Just not in public. Come by to my house later tonight, try seven? Okay?" Hopefully seven would be okay. Her mother would understand, at least.

"Okay," Eri said in agreement for the whole group (wow, how thoughtful xD).

"Your change, ma'am?" the cashier said - or questioned, she didn't seem very experienced - as she handed Kagome her change (I avoid saying the total pay or stuff like that because they DON'T use American money, they use yen, and even if I were to figure it out in Google, I could be wrong hehe xD) and the bag.

"Um, thanks-" Kagome said, slowly taking the bag. She was kind of shocked at what she'd done.

"You little retard! I don't care about your pregnancy problems, just go!" one woman shouted from behind her in line. Kagome had the last. She grabbed her bag and change and ran out the door towards Inuyasha. She wanted to punch the woman, but... she knew how that one would go down, unfortunately. But it would've been nice to do it anyway. If Inuyasha did it... the woman would be out cold. or maybe dead, with Inuyasha's strength.

"Kagome, is something wrong? You're crying!" He could smell it earlier, but she'd told him not to follow her in there. At least he was obeying her for once.

"Let's - just - goooo... I don't want to stay here!" Inuyasha walked with her to the nearest entrance to where her mother was parked, and by then she'd stopped crying. But Kagome was still hurt, and her face was red. He did not like it when she was hurt, or was crying. Especially when she was his... "wife".

"Kagome?" her mother asked, almost knowingly, as the two got into the car. She gently slapped Inuyasha's hand as he was about to tear her seats with his claws. He wasn't going to purposely, but she didn't want her car to be ruined. He didn't know any better, but still... she needed to protect her car. (xD!)

"A lady... in the store... I was buying a pregnancy test for Sango, and she-"

Her mother cut her off, "Sango? You mean the one who's always over here?"

"Yeah," Kagome replied, not liking where this was going.

"She's pregnant?" Kagome's mother asked, knowing she'd dislike having another kid around. Sure, they were cute, but... arrgh.

"She might be...but so anyway the lady behind me called me a retard 'cause I had the test..."

"Hey Kagome," Inuyasha said, taking the bag from her and looking inside. "Why are there two-?" This immediately got her mother's attention. Mrs. Higurashi would've turned if she wasn't driving the car. She wasn't upset, but her Kagome could possibly have two children? Wasn't one enough?

"Give me those!" Kagome demanded as she snatched it from Inuyasha's hands. "That's personal!" Yeah, it was, she really didn't mind Inuyasha knowing, but it was her mother.

"Yeah, but I am-"

"Fine! I just want to be sure, okay?" Kagome replied.

Nobody spoke for the rest of the car ride. But Kagome got tired from the ride and (as done in EVERY InuKag fic...) leaned up against Inuyasha. He put one of his arms around her and rested his head on top of hers. The mall was a ways away... falling asleep wouldn't hurt.

And so he did.

Kagome's mother saw them in the rearview mirror and smiled. Her Kagome was growing up.

She would be eighteen in about a month, wouldn't she...?

A minute to seven. They'd be there soon. Kagome always relied on them, if it involved her privacy, her friends would not be late. She could count on that. If only she could count on other things. She'd sent Inuyasha to her room and ordered him not to come out, due to the conversation she'd soon be having with her friends and Houjou.

Fifteen seconds to seven . . .

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1--

DING FREAKING DONG! (Okay, I had to through the 'freaking' in there... heheh... xD)

Sigh. Kagome stepped up to the door and opened it up to view Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, and Houjou.

"Kagome! Start explaining!" Yuka demanded. My gosh, they were like vultures.

"Guys, guys! At least get a drink... or something! You've barely been here ten seconds! Sheesh!" Her friends stepped in one by one, each heading into the kitchen except for Houjou. He stayed behind. "Houjou, I'm sorry for the situation, but... Inuyasha... he's... it's a long story."

"Um, I guess I kind of suspected," he replied. Kagome's friends rushed into the living room and plopped themselves everywhere, each with a can of soda in their hands. Sheesh, they're like trying to rob me of my stuff or something... She took one last look at her bedroom door, sat on the couch, and began her story.

"On my fifteenth birthday..."

Inuyasha was nervously pacing around Kagome's room. Kami, is she going to tell them everything? He settled for sitting down on her soft bed. Couldn't she at least of given him some ramen? But then, he got an idea. That camera thing she always brought... pictures? She'd explained them to him. he decided to look for more. Certainly with all the times she'd taken those pictures, there had to be more than just what he had seen in her book.

He stood up and rummaged through her drawers, slowly and quietly, as to not wake up his... son... who was sleeping on her bed.

"Aah, there's got to be something... unless she took ALL of them to the hut..." he went through the last drawer, and added to himself, "I bet she did, knowing her..."

Finally he was fed up. And why did she leave Kaori in here with him? Didn't she want to show her friends? Maybe she just made a mistake... besides, I'm sure they'll want to see me... (Inuyasha, you think too highly of yourself xD) Inuyasha gently picked up Kaori and headed out the door, then descended down the stairs.

Kagome heard him. Oh no... Inuyasha...

He started to talk as soon as he reached the living room, just to hear her talking about him in particular. "Kagome, I-"

"Is this about what I was just saying, or are you hear to talk about you and Kaori?" She asked.

"What you were just saying."

"Well, then what?" Inuyasha came over, not setting Kaori on her lap for once, and sat next to her on the couch. Kagome's friends were watching in awe, directing more towards his ears... more like, darting from his ears to Kaori, to his ears, to Kaori...

(They're speaking of book 18, A.K.A. episodes 47-48.)

"You knew I couldn't handle that... as much as I knew it would hurt you, I thought Kikyou was on the edge of death - she'd just been attacked by Naraku!"

"Yeah, well...! Never mind me... I wish I just knew Kikyou more..." Was Kagome really saying all that? She used to... well... she used to hate Kikyou! "I may have been her reincarnation... but... she loved you, didn't she? She never finished you off, either... and... I doubt that it was really because you were a waste of arrows, Inuyasha. She may despise me on the outside... but... if only I'd gotten to know her..."

Kagome's friends were shocked, but not as much as Inuyasha. Inuyasha would never except to hear these words.

"I... Inuyasha, I-I wish she wasn't dead!"

"Kagome... you... this is..."

"Strange, I know... but Inuyasha, I feel responsible for her death, I wish I knew her more - just think, what if we'd talked like normal people instead of hating each other? We could've been good friends... really..." She wiped her face with her sleeves to clear the tears, then said, "Inuyasha... I'm sorry, let me go on, I know this is hard on you..."

So, she went on. About how they found Kohaku, and then when Kagura came back to get him... well, she tried. Immediately after she got to about the third sentence, her three friends pounced over to Inuyasha to feel his ears and play with Kaori.

"He's cute, isn't he?" She asked, "He takes after his father. In looks and attitude."

Then they all started to talk about random things. Inuyasha showed them Tessaiga, and Kagome started getting Kaori to talk for them. Ahh, he was so cute...

After about an hour of random crap, she continued her story. She continued it up until the present. She failed to mention the extra pregnancy test, however...

That night, she decided to use it. She locked herself up in the bathroom, telling Inuyasha she was just going to take a shower real quick.

"Women..." he muttered under his breath, taking Kaori into her bedroom. He sat there playing with his son - still trying to register that he had a son, with KAGOME - until he heard a familiar scream. A sort of happy, scared, shocked, and weird scream... but it was Kagome, and that was what mattered.

"OH KAMI! INUYASHAAAAAA!" He sat Kaori down, and ran into the bathroom, surprised he didn't destroy the door since the force he used was so strong.

"Kagome! WHAT?"

Kagome took a deep breath to prepare herself.

"INUYASHA, I'M PREGNANT AGAIN!"
