Chapter 6

Good Old-Fashioned Psychological Torture

The perpetrator was identified as a Pansy Parkinson from Slytherin. Pansy was subsequently escorted to Dumbledore's office to receive her punishment. Kagome was admitted back into her classes, this time with Inuyasha shadowing her every movement.

It did not take long for word to spread that Pansy was being sent home until after Christmas Break and that she would have to make up all of the work she missed in the two months she would be gone when she got back. Kagome was satisfied, but she still wanted her own revenge. Call it petty, call it childish, she knew it was.

It was not long after Pansy had returned that her real punishment began. Kagome and Inuyasha had rigged almost the entire school with carefully hidden fishing line and mirrors. The whole setup would have made the Weasley twins proud if they had a clue as to what was going on.

First it was little things such as curtains that would draw themselves open and closed without human or magical aid, and tablecloths that seemed to sew themselves to her clothing as she sat. By the end of a week the Slytherin girl was starting to look quite nervous.

But that was not the end. Soon the curtains would shift and move as if there were someone hiding behind them, but no one was there. This happened everywhere she went, classrooms, library, as well as her own dorm room. It was as if some vengeful, but pacifistic, ghost was haunting her.

Kagome was well pleased, inordinately proud of her handiwork and Inuyasha had to admit that this psychological torture stuff had its merits. It was not long before Pansy had to spend a week in the hospital wing in order to regain a bare hint of a sane state of mind.

Yes, the Taisho family was well pleased.

And so the school year progressed pleasantly. The Gryffindor girls were ecstatic to find out that Kagome was actually going to have a baby – and that that was the reason why Pansy got such a harsh punishment – and that she was due before the end of term.

The residents of the Gryffindor tower had grown used to the morning ritual of distantly slammed doors and the sounds of retching. Therefore hardly anyone paid attention when there was a sudden clatter from upstairs. They could hear doors being slammed open and someone unwillingly emptying the contents of her stomach. Hermione and the boys looked ill. It was becoming something of a ritual.

"Morning sickness," Hermione sighed. It was strange. Hermione was on the receiving end of many complaints about how much this pregnancy was making Kagome hurt in ways she thought impossible yet Kagome was still glowing with joy at the fact she was going to have a baby. More so now that she had almost lost the child.

It was strange indeed. Something Kagome had said that she needed to experience in order to understand.

As Kagome's stomach grew and her back and feet began to pain her even more she found humor in looking in the mirror and commenting that it looked like she had some kind of alien growth. Inuyasha said that it looked like she had swallowed a giant watermelon whole. But he said that with great caution. He did not want to start her crying because she thought he called her fat.

Hermione and some of the other Gryffindor girls shadowed Kagome around, baby-fever running high. As the months came and when Inuyasha managed to scare off all but Hermione. Kagome would frown at him but otherwise said nothing, even when she got so lonely that she was moved to hysterical tears. Thankfully for Inuyasha's nerves, those did not last long.

"Inuyasha? Have you seen my cell phone?" Kagome asked, rummaging through their room, tossing everything on the bed. Inuyasha, who was lounging in the doorway, shrugged.

"No,"

"Well, could you help me look? I need to find it," she said, her head buried in the closet. Inuyasha shrugged again. He had nothing better to do. It did not take long for the hanyou to locate the little piece of technology. Kagome had left it in her purse, something she had not been carrying around since they arrived at Hogwarts.

"Oi, here it is, Kagome," he tossed it to his mate. Kagome caught it and gave him a quick hug and a kiss.

"Thank you so much Inuyasha!" she giggled, flipping it open. She frowned when it did not work. "Now what's wrong?"

"No signal?"

"No power at all," she grimaced, "well, let's try something different then,"

Kagome went down to their common room, Inuyasha trailing along after her, curious as to what she had planned. The little miko started shoving furniture out of the way again. Inuyasha stopped her before she had moved the first chair too far and did the heavy work for her. She thanked him with another kiss and knelt down in the middle of the cleared area, the dead cell phone before her on the floor.

It was much like when she had enchanted the bracelet Inuyasha now wore. Her magic erupted around her, swirling in a violent vortex of power then condensing and filtering into the waiting cell phone. When all of the light was gone Inuyasha helped Kagome to her feet. Kagome flipped the phone open again and grinned when it lit up and found a signal.

"What did you do?"

"Gave it an anywhere, anytime phone plan," she quipped with a foxy grin. She dialed a number and waited for it to ring through. "Sesshoumaru? It's Kagome,"

"Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha yelped, "What're you doing calling him?" Kagome ignored her husband.

"Yeah, I know you haven't been able to find us. I'm sorry about that. Yes, I'm really at a school for magic. You can track my cell phone, if you have to. I just fixed it so that it works here. It's got a GSP beacon, doesn't it? Well, use that. I'm sure you can do it,"

"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered, "Why are you calling my brother?"

"Hush, Inuyasha. I promised him. He's going to bring my family and the Doctor he hired here, so please don't complain," Kagome whispered back, "Sesshoumaru? You got the location? Good. You'll remember to bring my family? Wonderful! See you all in a few days,"

AN: Short. Sorry. But next chapter Sesshoumaru and everyone arrives at Hogwarts!
