Be My Savior – InuYasha Fanfic

Chapter 3: Unpleasant homecoming

"I can't believe we're doing this…" Kagome muttered as she sat on the plane with InuYasha. They were on their way to InuYasha's house, the morning after InuYasha revealed to Kagome his plan.

"You sure you wanna go through with this?" InuYasha asked Kagome again, as he had so many times that morning.

She nodded, but didn't look at him.

'How am I supposed to pretend I'm in love with InuYasha?' she thought to herself.

InuYasha frowned, and put an arm around Kagome. "It'll be okay Kagome. You know I love you for this right?"

Kagome blushed a little, a small tear in her eye.

It wasn't long before she had fallen asleep, leaning on InuYasha.

Her friend simply stroked her hair gently.

------------

Upon arrival, InuYasha spotted the old butler waiting for them at the airport.

"Hello again Toutousai!" InuYasha said cheerily.

He then turned to Kagome. "Toutousai will keep our secret, so we don't have to pretend around him"

Kagome smiled weakly. Then Toutousai spoke. "What secret is this, young master?"

InuYasha made a gesture to be quiet, and then explained the situation to Toutousai. Who simply nodded as he listened, and agreed to keep the secret.

"I don't blame you sonny. Miss Kikyo is a pretty thing, but devious nonetheless. Even I wouldn't want to marry her, no matter how pleasing on the eyes she is."

InuYasha pulled a face of disgust and then opened the door for Kagome to get in the car.

She carefully entered the car, and InuYasha closed the door softly, but firmly, behind her.

He then traveled around to the other side of the car, and let himself in.

"Toutousai seems nice…" Kagome said quietly, without looking at InuYasha.

"He's the best! I remember once, my whole family forgot it was my birthday. This was in the years we were separated, and Sesshoumaru was at University… Toutousai told my father that he owed me the family heirloom, since he forgot."

"Family heirloom?" she looked at him now.

"A sword that has been passed down for generations. The Tetsusaiga. Father never let us see it, so I was really excited when he passed it to me." InuYasha snorted. "Just a rusty piece of crap…" he then grinned bitterly.

"But he still got you that heirloom, right?"

"Yeah, he did. I was more grateful that he remembered my birthday, rather than that he got me the Tetsusaiga."

"Will you show me the Tetsusaiga someday?"

InuYasha nodded. "It's in my room, at father's house."

------------------------

Toutousai's voice came from the front of the car.

"We're here, Master InuYasha, Miss Kagome."

Time had seemed to pass so quickly during that car ride.

"Alright then Kagome, you know what to do?"

"Yeah…" she said unsurely. She didn't want to lie to InuYasha's father. She'd only met him on occasion, and he was always fairly nice to her when she was there.

InuYasha's aunt came bowling out the door, and game him a bone crushing hug.

Karin was a fairly large woman. She had brown hair, and blue eyes. Almost always in a pink suit, she looked like a pink marshmallow to InuYasha.

"Oh my dear nephew you look so handsome! InuTaisho, look how handsome your son has become!" she said in that annoyingly fake British accent she would put on all the time.

InuTaisho came out of the door, closely followed by InuYasha's older brother, Sesshoumaru. Both men looked similar to InuYasha, in that they had white/silver hair, and strange, almost golden eyes. InuTaisho was wearing a nice black suit, while Sesshoumaru was in pretty casual clothes.

InuTaisho had a stern look on his face. Sesshoumaru looked as though he couldn't care less. He and InuYasha got on fairly well, so he didn't care much for visits that InuYasha didn't voluntarily make.

Kagome felt slightly out of place. Sesshoumaru was the first of InuYasha's family to notice her there.

"Kagome? What a nice surprise…" Sesshoumaru said pleasantly.

InuTaisho and Karin looked at Kagome; finally noticing she was there.

Karin spoke.

"InuYasha…this is a family matter…why did you bring this girl?"

InuYasha looked at Kagome, as if to get one final confirmation. She looked back at him with a scared expression, but nodded slightly.

"Well…she will be family…"

"She will not!" came another voice, just coming from the entrance of the mansion.

Kikyo was leaning on the doorframe. She stopped leaning, and walked over towards InuYasha.

"She will not be family dear," Kikyo stressed, "Because you are marrying me!"

InuYasha stepped away from Kikyo, and towards Kagome.

"If I married you, it would be going against my family's beliefs." He then wrapped his arms around Kagome, and she tried her best to look in love. She was already blushing, so it wasn't too difficult.

"InuYasha! What are you doing? What do you mean?" InuTaisho barked at his youngest son.

InuYasha looked at Sesshoumaru, who seemed to understand what his brother was up to, then he looked at his father again.

"What I'm saying is, I love Kagome, and she is carrying my child. Therefore, according to family rules, she must be the woman I marry. Not Kikyo."

Karin's face went red with anger.

"InuTaisho! Can't you have that ridiculous rule changed?"

"No," InuTaisho shook his head, "It's not just a family rule, it's a belief!" he told his plump half sister.

Kikyo glared at Kagome. She was so close, and Kagome had come to ruin everything again.

"How do we know they're telling the truth? Kagome may not even be pregnant!"

"You think we'd lie about something like this?" InuYasha retorted

"Prove that she's pregnant, and that you love each other. Or else you marry me. Is that fair enough, InuTaisho?"

InuTaisho pondered this for a few moments before nodding in approval.

-End of Chapter-

A/N: Well, I'm on a roll right now. My internet doesn't agree with me, but I'm getting a bit done. Don't you just hate Karin and Kikyo right now? How is Kagome going to cope with all this? What proof do they need?
