Chapter 8 – Your Precious Little Girl

Last Time

"Ki will be getting up soon," Kagome muttered to herself.


Inuyasha gave her a puzzled look. She shook her head.

"I gotta go. See ya around 'Koinu'," she said waving as she walked away.

She heard Inuyasha's growl behind her and laughed.

This Time

Kagome got home just as Ki was walking down the stairs into the living room, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She heard her the door close and looked up.

"Mommy?" she asked. "Where did you go?"

"I just went for a walk," answered Kagome.

"I want to go for a walk, Mommy," Ki declared.

"Okay, after breakfast."

Kagome lead the way into the kitchen and went behind the counter while Ki sat down at the table. Kagome opened the fridge and looked over her shoulder at Ki.

"What do you want Ki? We've got eggos and more eggos," said Kagome.

"I want cereal," said Ki.

"Eggos it is then," said Kagome taking out the box of Eggos and putting one in the toaster for Ki. Ki giggled. Just then there was a knock at the door. Ki jumped up and started running to the door.

"I'll get it!" she shouted.

Kagome just smiled and let her answer the door. Then a thought came to her. What if it was Inuyasha? She panicked. She dropped the eggo on the plate then ran after Ki, trying to beat her to the door.

"Hello? Who are you?"

"Too late..." Kagome muttered to herself.

"Hi, I'm you're neighbour..." The rest was Kagome didn't hear, and frankly she could care less. It wasn't Inuyasha! She practically skipped to the door to greet the man.

"Hi!" she sang holding out her hand to shake the man's hand. "I'm Kagome Higurashi. This is my daughter Ki."

"Hi, I'm Hojo (A/N zomg!)," said the man.

"Good for you! Can I help you with something?" came a voice from behind Kagome.

Kagome turned around to see Kado coming down the front hall. She smiled and inwardly giggled. Kado could be really intimidating sometimes. And Kagome was actually relieved. She didn't really like this Hojo guy. He seemed too happy.

"Er...well...no sir. I was just leaving," said Hojo and practically ran back to his house across the street.

'What a wuss,' Kagome thought.

Kagome and Ki burst out laughing. Ki didn't really know what she was laughing at but laughed with her mother anyway. Finally Kagome stopped laughing long enough to speak.

"Okay, do you wanna go for a walk?" she asked Ki.

"What about breakfast?" asked Ki.

Kagome glanced over at the pitiful burnt Eggo on the counter. She sighed. "I think breakfast is dead, Ki."

Ki giggled. She scrunched up her nose and shook her head.

"That smells yucky!"

Kagome sniffed the air. She didn't smell anything.

"I don't smell anything," she stated.

Then she remembered that Ki was quarter dog demon. "Oh, right. Sorry 'bout that sweety. Now let's go for that walk."

A Little While Later

Kagome and Ki were walking in silence. Suddenly a voice behind them shouted, "Kags!". Kagome jumped.

"What? What's wrong?" she exclaimed. She turned around. The owner of the voice was Sango and she was running down the sidewalk to catch up to them. Sango was soon walking in step beside her and Ki.

"Sango? What's up?" asked Kagome.

"I just saw you guys walking and thought I'd join you," stated Sango.

"Oh ---" said Kagome.

"Aaaand..."

"Uh-oh, what do ya want Sango?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime. We haven't seen much of each other in like a long time. We could have a girls' night out! I'll invite Ayame to come along too!" said Sango.

"Umm, sounds cool."

"But?"

"But, what about Ki?"

"Miroku will watch her. Or you can leave her at Izayoi's," suggested Sango.

Kagome thought about it for a moment. She looked down at Ki who had a big smile plastered on her face.

"How would you like to have a sleepover at Izayoi's, Ki?" Kagome asked.

"YAAAAAAY!" squealed Ki.

"Okay, I take that as a yes."

"YAAAAAAY!" This time the squeal came from Sango.

Kagome sighed and shook her head at the two girls jumping up and down around her. Sango turned to Ki.

"So can I steal your Mom for the night?"

"NO!" Ki immediately answered. "But you can borrow her."

Both women awed then started laughing at how cute Ki was.

That Night

Kagome kissed Ki on the cheek.

"Be good for Izayoi okay," she said.

Ki nodded vigourously. "I'll be extra good!"

"Good."

Kagome waved once more then turned and walked down the driveway to where Sango and Ayame were waiting in Ayame's car. She got into the back seat and as she did she glared at Sango who smirked triumphantly and stuck her tongue out at Kagome. Originally Kagome had had shotgun and Sango had pouted. But when Kagome went into the house to drop off Ki Sango had stolen the front seat leaving the back for Kagome.

Kagome's pretend anger at Sango didn't last for long when a popular song came on the radio and they all started singing along. They almost passed the club they were going to. Luckily Ayame was paying attention and they didn't miss their stop.

The three girls got out of the car and Kagome finally got to get a chance to see what they were wearing better. Sango was wearing a short black mini skirt, a hot pink spaghetti strap top that hugged her figure perfectly and was rather low-cut, and matching shoes. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. Ayame was wearing a silver sequin halter top and an extremely mini jean skirt with a wide silver sequin belt. Her red hair was left loose. Kagome then looked down at herself. She was wearing a mahogany, sparkly halter that ended where her ribs did and a matching suede mini skirt. Her own hair was pulled into a half ponytail. All three girls nodded in approval of the others' outfits and they walked, arms linked, into the club.

Two Hours Later

Kagome had spent most of the night dancing. She and the dance floor were inseperable...well the dance floor or the tables, either one. At point two guys had been fighting over who was going to take her home, thinking she was extremely drunk because she was having a good time and dancing on tables. It took a moment of them fighting for her to realize, 'wait a minute, I'm not drunk!'. She had just walked away and the guys continued fighting, not even realizing that she had left them.

Now she and Sango sat at, not danced on, one of the tables. Kagome glanced around the crowded club trying to see if she could find Ayame. She soon found her, standing near the entrance flirting with any hott guy that came in. Kagome laughed. She could tell that Ayame was just a bit drunk. Which meant that either Kagome or Sango would have to drive home. She looked across the table at Sango who was just finishing a beer. 'Guess I'm driving home,' she thought. Kagome looked back at Ayame and couldn't help but laugh. Her laughter was soon silenced when she saw Inuyasha. And guess who was with him...Kikyou. Kagome immediately got jealous and growled. The father of her child was with another woman...even though it was kind of stupid to get jealous over the father of her child when he had absolutely no clue that he had fathered a child. Kikyou spotted her and an evil smirk played across her lips. The two women locked eye contact. Kikyou grabbed Inuyasha's arm and started dragging him toward Kagome. All the while Kagome just kept glaring daggers at Kikyou. Kagome coudn't hear them over the loud music but it looked like Inuyasha was asking where the hell they were going. Then Kagome saw that he had seen her. She immediately put on a fake smile to greet them with.

"Well, look who it is Yashie. Looks like little Kagome is growing up," teased Kikyou.

"Hello Kinky-ho," Kagome said as sweetly as possible. She turned to Inuyasha. "'Koinu', or is it 'Yashie' now?"

Inuyasha growled at the petnames and Kagome laughed.

"I never would have expected to see you here, Kagome. Shouldn't you be at home taking care of Ki?" said Kikyou.

Kagome's eyes widened. How did Kikyou know about Kioko?

"Or is Izayoi watching her for you?"

Kagome gasped. How did she know this? Wait, what if something happened? Kagome stared, eyes wide in surprise and now worry.

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

Inuyasha and Kikyou walked into the club. Inuyasha noticed that Kikyou seemed to be looking for someone. Suddenly she smirked and grabbed his arm, dragging him into the crowd.

"Where the hell are we going, Kikyou?" said Inuyasha.

Kikyou didn't answer. Inuyasha followed her gaze. That's when he saw her. Kagome. What was she doing at a club? 'Oh, right,' he thought. 'She's 18 know.'

Kagome was smiling as they approached but Inuyasha could tell it was fake though. They had been best friends since she was born, until a few years ago that is, and he knew that smile.

They arrived in front of the table that Kagome and Sango were sitting at and Kikyou wasted no time in taunting Kagome.

"Well, look who it is Yashie. Looks like little Kagome is growing up." Inuyasha growled inwardly at Kikyou's new pet name for him. At least it was a little better than...

"...'Koinu', or is it 'Yashie' now?" he heard Kagome say.

Inuyasha growled again, this time aloud. Kagome laughed. Kikyou started taunting again.

"I never would have expected to see you here, Kagome. Shouldn't you be at home taking care of Ki?" 'Ki? What is she talking about? Wait, haven't I heard that name somewhere before?'

"Ki will be getting up soon," Kagome muttered to herself.

end flashback

'Who is Ki?'

Inuyasha saw Kagome's eyes widen in surprise. Obviously she hadn't expected Kikyou to know about Ki. Sango's eyes widened too. Obviously Sango knew who Ki was.

'Who is Ki?' he thought again.

"Or is Izayoi watching her for you?" Kikyou said.

Inuyasha looked at Kikyou. 'What the hell is she talking about? And why the hell would my mother be watching her?'

He saw the smirk on Kikyou's face. She was having fun with this.

"Come on Kikyou," he said, turning to leave Kagome and Sango alone.

"One second Yashie," said Kikyou.

Inuyasha watched as Kikyou leaned in close to Kagome and whispered something in her ear. Kagome gasped. Her eyes widened even more now with shock, worry, anger...were those tears?

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

"Don't worry Kagome, your precious little girl is fine, a little scared but fine...for now that is," Kikyou whispered in Kagome's ear.

Tears began to well in her eyes. Suddenly her eyes narrowed in anger.

"BITCH!" she screamed as she slapped Kikyou across the face. Everyone around them looked on in shock. Surprisingly Kikyou just laughed.

"What's wrong Kagome? Scared?" Kikyou asked. "Are you scared for Ki?"

"Kikyou stop it," said Inuyasha.

"Should I say it Kagome? Should I tell everyone exactly who Ki is?" provoked Kikyou.

"Bitch! Shut UP!" Another slap resounded through the club though hardly anyone heard it over the music.

"You shouldn't have left her vulnerable," Kikyou provoked again, still laughing.

"Stop it!" Kagome and Inuyasha yelled in unison.

"Awwh, Kags is crying."

Kagome clenched her fist. She brought it back then let it go, punching Kikyou in the face. Kikyou was thrown to the floor. "Don't ever lay a finger on my baby. I'll kill you if you do!" she screamed.

She grabbed Sango's wrist and pulled her threw the crowd that had gathered, toward the exit. On her way out she grabbed Ayame as well who had no clue what was going on. Suddenly, just as they got out the door, she collapsed. But she never hit the ground. She looked up through misty eyes to see that Inuyasha had been the one who caught her. One of the last people she wanted to see right now, but she didn't care. She turned around and buried her head in his chest and started crying. But she suddenly remembered.

"I-I have to go."

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

Inuyasha watched as Kagome slapped Kikyou. He didn't know how to react. Kagome had just slapped Kikyou, his girlfriend, yet he felt sympathy for Kagome. Kikyou was provoking her and Inuyasha didn't like it. He growled but no one seemed to hear him.

"Kikyou stop it," he said.

Kikyou didn't listen.

Suddenly Kikyou's words came back to him.

'...your precious little girl...what is she talking about? Wait! Did...did Kagome have a child while in Kyoto?' For some reason this thought brought a few emotions to Inuyasha. Jealousy, his Kagome had born someone else's child. And a bit of hurt that it wasn't his child.

Another slap brought Inuyasha out of his thoughts.

"Stop it!" He and Kagome said in unison. He was getting angry with Kikyou.

"Awwh, Kags is crying."

A moment later Kikyou was on the floor. The punch had been that fast.

"Don't ever lay a finger on my baby. I'll kill you if you do!" Kagome screamed, the tears falling freely. Inuyasha winced. He hated it when she cried.

He watched as Kagome and Sango pushed through the crowd. He turned back to Kikyou. She was standing up.

"Bitch," he muttered then ran after Kagome.
