Inuyasha 11 Chapter

Three months later

Kagome had been able to postpone her scholarship, but as a result she would lose some of it. She was also steadily growing larger even though she was only 4 months pregnant she began to notice a great difference. She had to go shopping with Inuyasha frequently to make sure that her clothes fit for work. Her friendship with Kouga was almost back to what it was. She had even put in a good word for Ayame. Kouga said he'd think about it, but Kagome wasn't convinced.

Inuyasha and Kagome were entering a budding romance. When they'd sit on the couch and watch movies together, Inuyasha would try and listen to the baby (he could listen better due to his ears). The next day they even had gotten an appointment at the doctor's so Kagome could have an ultrasound to see the gender of her child.

"Kagome... what do you want it to be? A boy or a girl?" Inuyasha asked while looking up at her face.

"Hmmm... I guess I'd want a girl. I've always wanted a little girl." Kagome looked up and her eyes glazed over, she was daydreaming again. Inuyasha smiled. He thought that was what she wanted.

"Well I think "Mommy" should go to bed so she'll be up in time for her appointment tomorrow." Inuyasha said while offering her his hand. She wasn't too big yet, but he loved feeling how soft her hand was, not too mention if he was nice to her now when the hormones started affecting her, he might be safer. He helped her to her room and kissed her on the forehead. He then looked down into her eyes. Her dark brown eyes were sparkling. He wanted to kiss her so badly. But he didn't want a relationship to ruin what they had. And it would just be more stress on Kagome. So he decided it was best to remain friends... at least for now. He gave her one last hug then ushered her into her room.

Inuyasha went into his room and flopped on the bed. He put his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling. When he looked closely he could see different shapes due to the composition of the paint he chose. When he looked over at the far right corner he could see a baby crib, and when he looked directly above him he could see a cup that looked like it had steam coming out of it. It reminded him of when he first met Kagome. 'Was it really four months ago? Time has passed by so quickly... and yet it seems like I've known her forever!... Goodnight Kagome' Inuyasha rolled over and fell asleep.

Kagome walked around her room trying to find something to wear tomorrow. She didn't want to wear her work clothes, but she didn't want to wear her house clothes, as they were mostly sweat pants and sweaters. It was October and getting colder. So she decided on a pair of jeans and a sweater, not too bad right? As she washed her face and climbed into bed she looked at her growing stomach and couldn't help but smile. 'Tomorrow I find out if you'll be my little girl, or if you'll be a little boy.' Kagome closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next day at the doctor's you could feel the tension in the air. Kagome was very anxious to get there. She wanted to know so badly if it would be a boy or girl. As she was laying there on the hospital bed she was so restless. Inuyasha had gone somewhere and here she was with nothing to do! She clenched her teeth... 'Why was the doctor taking so long?'

After several minutes Inuyasha arrived and took her hand. Holding it lightly he looked up at her and smiled. "Sorry about that I went to go the bathroom and got lost.." he said sheepishly. All of Kagome's ire dissappeared, and she gave him a nervous smile. They were talking for another ten minutes when the doctor finally showed up. "Well look who it is my brother has come to the hospital with a pregnant woman... now isn't this interesting..." an icy voice said. Inuyasha's eyes flashed 'Of all the doctors why him?' Standing in the doorway was a tall man with silver hair the same colour as Inuyasha's but more silky and longer. His features were almost feminine, what stuck out the most though, were his eyes, as soon as they landed on Inuyasha they became very cold. Kagome shivered involuntarily.

"Hello Sesshomaru. This is Kagome." Inuyasha said in a very cold voice.

"I knew that Inuyasha... In case you hadn't realized I am her doctor. Now Miss Kagome have you had an problems with this pregnancy?" Sesshomaru turned his attention to the young woman.

"No... at least not any that I've noticed."

"Is this your first pregnancy?"

"Yes!" Kagome blushed.

"Now Miss Kagome if you will kindly expose your stomach I'll get the ultrasound turned on..." Sesshomaru trailed off. Kagome blushed and pulled the robe up to just underneath her breasts and pulled the bed sheet down to cover her lower region. Inuyasha was in awe of her. 'Her skin looks so perfect, it looks so soft...'

"Okay now Kagome if you will watch the screen...Looking at the screen all Kagome could make out was a basic shape and some shadows.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Kagome blurted out...

Sesshomaru looked at her and... was that a smile? "Well Miss Kagome, there is no evidence of a penis. But since you're only four months pregnant that could change, if you want to know for sure come in in another month and a half. But I'd say there's a very high chance it's a girl."

Kagome wanted to hug Inuyasha but she couldn't for the time being because she had the gel all over her stomach and Sesshomaru was still taking measurements and checking for any abnormalities.

After Kagome got washed up and changed back into her clothes Inuyasha was waiting outside of the room for her, she ran over and gave him a hug. Inuyasha whispered into her ear "Looks like you got the girl you were wishing for huh?" Kagome could only nod she was so over whelmed by emotions. "Come on, let's go home and relax okay?" Inuyasha took her hand and led her to his car.

After they got home They were lounging on the couch at home, Inuyasha was going to drive Kagome to work. Kagome turned to Inuyasha and asked him "Why haven't I heard about your brother before?"

"You've never asked..."

"Well can I at least know a little about him? I mean seeing as he's my doctor and all!"

"Okay Kagome... Growing up we didn't really get along. We were always trying to get our father's attention. After our father died we parted ways I left with my mother and don't really remember what happened with Sesshomaru, I think he wandered the lands..."

"That must have been a long time ago... Was it hard to lose a brother?"

"We were never that close anyways... That's the first time I've seen him in about a hundred years or so... Well we should get you to work or else Kaede will kill me."

When Kagome got to work the first thing she noticed was Kouga was sitting in a booth near the entrance 'I guess he wants to be close to me huh?'. After she put her stuff in her cubby out back she walked up to the front and spoke to Kouga when she noticed someone walk in. It was Naraku... Kagome bowed and led him to a booth not that far from Kouga. In between seating people Kagome would speak to Kouga. Near the end of her shift she was called to the back. Naraku walked up to Kouga, "Is this seat taken?" Kouga looked him up and down suspiciously.

"No..."

"May I?"

"Okay..."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Naraku. I couldn't help but notice your infatuation with the hostess Kagome."

"It's not infatuation Naraku. It's love. She used to love me too. But now she's fallen for a half-bread inu-hanyou..." That caught Naraku's attention.

"An inu-hanyou you say? What's his name?"

"Inuyasha..."

'Inuyasha? Isn't that the fool that Kikyou's obssessing over? I wonder what fun I can have with this?' "Now Mr...?"

"Kouga"

"Now Mr.Kouga... would you like to have Kagome fall in love with you again?"

"That's what I've always wanted."

"Then I give this to you." Naraku pulled out a pouch from his jacket. Kouga eyed it suspiciously. "It won't hurt the girl. All you have to do is slip it into a drink she is having and make sure you are the first one she sees after drinking it and she'll be in love with you instantly. But first I have to ask something. Are you sure she loves the inu-hanyou?"

"No I'm not. I hope they're only roomates."

"If she is in love with him, after she drinks this, she will love only you. But if she realizes her love to Inuyasha it will over power this drink. Do you understand me?"

"Yeah..." In truth Kouga hadn't heard past "she will love only you." He was willing to take any risk to gain her love.

"So are you willing do it?"

"I have only one question Naraku. Why are you doing this?"

"It's obviously true love, who am I to stand in the way of it?"

Kouga reached over and took the packet. "Bargain struck"

Naraku walked back to his table. 'And now the fun begins...'

Kouga left shortly after Naraku went back to his table. He was walking to his house while going through mental turmoil. 'Should I? Is it right? Kagome will love me! Me and only me! Forever! Maybe she could even become my mate.' He thought with a smile. 'She's already carrying my child, it's the right thing to do.'

Kagome came back and noticed Kouga was gone. She also noticed Naraku was giving her a very odd look. She was thankful her shift was over. As she stood outside waiting for Inuyasha she could feel eyes on her.

'Soon your time with Inuyasha will be over. My pet will have her toy back and soon, Kouga will be very happy.'
