Okay guys, things are finally starting to get happy again. I plan on having the story finished by tomorrow. Thanks for reading, Ainsley.
Inuyasha flew home in silence. What could he say? His life was over. He looked out the window at all the clouds and thought about his future. He could never have children, he could have sex if he was wearing a condom, and even then it was risky. He would get sick easily, and probably spend a third of his life huddled up in bed ill. He thought about Kagome, he was filled with immense regret. She was stuck with him, and it was all his fault. He had no idea how long he'd had the virus, he very well could have given it to Kagome. He prayed he didn't.
At first, when he found out he was furious, he had thought it was Kagome who had given it to him. He wanted to call her and cuss her out and threaten to sue her for every penny she owned. But after he sat and thought for a while he realized that he recalled Kikyo having the same symptoms, he must have gotten it from her. But who gave it to Kikyo? He was furious and wanted blood. He halfway blamed Kikyo, but what if she didn't know? She hadn't gotten sick until right before he left, who's to say she'd had it longer and just didn't know? He was furious but when it came down to it, he couldn't blame himself, Kikyo, or Kagome, none of them knew this would happen.
He looked at his duffel bag next to him. Sitting right on top was his little orange bottle with his pills in it. It was the medicine that kept the virus from attacking his body, which slowly caused him to deteriorate. He'd barely spoken to Kagome while he was away. He had been gone two weeks, neither of them making much effort to keep in touch. He hoped everything was okay at home. He would be home that night, and he would make sure everything was okay. He leaned back in his seat and sighed. For now his sickness was under control, the medicine fought off the terrible nausea and the chills. He was left with a dull ache throughout his body but he had gotten used to it. He had left Japan without a word to his brother, he wasn't ready to tell him about the HIV yet, he wasn't ready to tell anyone, especially Kagome, but he knew it had to happen. He closed his eyes and dozed off. The dread of being home fresh in his mind.
Kagome danced around the house, she knew Inuyasha would be arriving home sometime today, as he had texted her and told her so last night. She was picking up around the house, Rin had been staying and had left a terrible mess everywhere she went. Kagome threw some clothes in the washer and picked up some chip bags off the living room floor. 'Damn Rin' she shook her head, she was something else. She glided into the bedroom and straightened the bed covers. She had quite the evening planned for her and Inuyasha. The baby made her extremely horny, and having Inuyasha gone had left her sexually frustrated and more than ready to jump his bones when he returned home. She also just really wanted to cuddle up and talk with him all evening long. She missed him a lot. She returned to the kitchen to eat some lunch, again. She had just eaten a sandwich a little over an hour ago, but she was hungry again and decided this time she would eat a pizza. She turned on the oven, 'this baby is going to be the death of me!'
As soon as the plane touched down at JFK Inuyasha wanted to run home to Kagome and kiss her until she couldn't breath, but he also dreaded seeing her. Then he realized he had things he needed to deal with. He stepped onto the tarmac and pulled out his phone.
"Totosai, I'm glad you decided to meet me." Inuyasha strode into his office, already to be greeted by his lawyer. "Inuyasha what have you requested me for?" The old man said, he seemed confused. Inuyasha rarely called on his family's personal lawyer and typically used his business lawyers. "I have some business to tend to with my future ex-wife." Inuyasha motioned for Totosai to have a seat across from his desk and he began to tell him of his most recent affairs and problems. "So you want an appeal for a divorce after the judge already told you no?" Totosai questioned Inuyasha for what seemed like the thousandth time, "Yes I went to the counseling and it did not work, not to mention my wife gave me aids. I have justifiable cause to want a divorce." Inuyasha began to get annoyed, Totosai was not giving him the help he desired and he questioned why his father and brother trusted the man so much. "Well Inuyasha, you're going to have to get your marriage counselor to appear before the judge to approve the divorce. Unless she deems the divorce justifiable, there's not much I can do for you." Inuyasha smirked, of course Kagome would approve the divorce. "She has to have evidence however, she must have a valid point within her notes that shows that she deemed you unfit as a couple." Of course it wouldn't be that simple, he would have to hire someone to help Kagome write an amazingly believable report. "Okay Totosai, report to the judge and tell him I wish for a hearing. Call me when you get a date." Inuyasha stood up from his chair and walked out of the door.
Kikyo laid in bed, her lower abdomen felt empty, as did her heart. She could smell her and Inuyasha all in the bed. She missed him dearly. She had told Naraku to leave her be, and not to disturb her. He had happily complied, saying she was no good to him while she was recovering from her abortion. She had refused the medication for the HIV. She didn't wish to get better, she didn't want the help. She wanted to die, she couldn't stand to live with the guilt. She hated Inuyasha for leaving her for another woman, but at the same time she still cared about him. She heard some commotion down on the first floor, she heard her name among other words that were inaudible from her bed. The door burst open to reveal a very pissed off Inuyasha. "Inuyasha." Kikyo croaked out, her body remained weak and lifeless, the past two weeks of being sick as well as her procedure had left her sickly thin and frail. "You knew." His eyes held rage and hatred towards her, she cowered into the bed, praying that her body could melt into the sheets. "I didn't know i had it Inuyasha, I didn't know until after we had been together."
"Liar!" He yelled at her causing her to flinch, he was right, she was lying, but she wouldn't admit it. "Where did you get it?" She lowered her head to hide her shame. "Kikyo!" Inuyasha's demanding voice echoed off the walls and rang in her ears. She whispered in an almost inaudible voice, "Naraku." Inuyasha sighed angrily and rubbed his forehead "When did this happen?" she looked down not wanting to look him in the eyes. "The night after I found the wedding ring in your pocket." Inuyasha sighed in relief, that meant Kagome was safe. Kikyo mistook his sigh for one out of anger and began to further explain herself, "I was sad and alone, and you were with someone else. I thought that if-" Inuyasha interjected in a hateful tone, "you thought what Kikyo? That you'd get even? That you would sleep with the grungy bastard, when you knew he has been with less than honorable women, not to mention without protection. What kind of idiot are you!?" She began to cry, she didn't want to admit anything to him, she was so ashamed. "I wanted a baby." He looked up at her with disbelief, "you were going to sleep with him to get pregnant? Kikyo are you insane?!"
She wailed and she could tell it got his attention. She loved him so much and she wanted a future with him, and in the end she had ruined both of their futures. He walked up to the bed where she sat curled up, sickly pale and shivering. His voice lowered to a kinder tone, "where is your medicine?" She shook her head no, "Kikyo you're refusing the medicine? It helps I promise." She threw herself into his chest and cried more. His body tensed up at first but began to relax as he rubbed her back, "I don't want it. I don't want to live this way. I deserve to suffer." Inuyasha shook his head and kissed her forehead. "That bastard knew what he was doing, he knew what he had, and he purposefully gave it to you. I will make him pay. He will be nothing when I am through with him. We will make him suffer for our own suffering." Inuyasha handed her Totosai's business card. "Give him a call and tell him the situation. Tell him you're my wife." Inuyasha kissed her forehead and left the room. Kikyo clutched the card in her hand, 'yes, Naraku will pay,' She decided as she picked up her phone, she had a new found hope.
Kagome was watching reruns of Friends and eating Doritos when she heard the lock on the door click. She immediately ran to the door. Inuyasha swung open the door and Kagome jumped into his arms. He laughed as she showered his face and neck with kisses. "I missed you too Kagome." He smiled down at her as she pulled away from his face. He pulled her in for a kiss, he finally relaxed as he felt her sweet soft lips against his. Kagome began unbuttoning his top. "Kagome." She began to kiss his neck and slide her hand into his shirt, "Kagome." He tried again, she slid his shirt off his shoulders and began kissing his lips again. He pulled away from her, holding her away from him by grabbing her at the shoulders, her bright brown doe eyes looked at him questioningly. "Kagome, we need to talk." She cocked her head to the side like a puppy when she heard his serious tone. "Don't tell me you're breaking up with me." She said in a desperate voice. Inuyasha chuckled, "you can't get rid of me that easily Kagome." He grabbed her hand and led her to the couch to sit down with him. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it. He was nervous, "Kagome, something happened, and I'm not only worried for myself but I'm worried for you. I'm not sure how you're going to react, and I won't lie I'm really nervous. I need you to hear me out though." Kagome's eyebrows twisted together as an angry look overcame her delicate features, she opened her mouth to say something, "I didn't cheat on you Kagome." Her features softened and went back to a confused and worried look, "I don't know how to explain it to you, because I don't even know a lot about it myself, but I'm going to come out and say it, I have aids."
Kagome just looked at him. It had to be a joke right? She looked at him as he nervously played with his hands. She glanced at him and back to herself, putting her hand over where her baby resided. Did she have it too? A feeling of dread overcame her. "Do I...?" She couldn't finish the question, her hand remained over her tiny bulge as she looked up into his eyes, "to my understanding Kagome no. From what I understand, when Kikyo discovered our affair, she slept with Naraku. And the last time I slept with her was the night I admitted to her that I was leaving her for you. I haven't slept with you since then. I promise no matter what though I will take care of you." He pulled her hand off her stomach and kissed it. Kagome felt tears prick her eyes. Inuyasha would die because of Kikyo. His life would be shortened, they could never make love or have more children. Her mind ran in a million different directions. He sat in silence as she thought, giving her time to process it. Would she leave him? She pondered on that for a moment and realized that no she wouldn't. "Kagome I understand if you want-" she looked up at him, "I'm not going anywhere." She gave him a serious look. All he could see in her eyes was love and determination. He breathed a sigh of relief, half of his worries were gone. "I'm not going anywhere, I am going to stand by your side. I don't know anything about the sickness or what it means but I know I will be right here with you. I love you." She reached forward and pulled him into a kiss. He kissed her back deeply. Pushing her down on her back on the couch, she felt his hardening member push against her thigh, "Inuyasha we can't-" Kagome began to push him off, he knocked her hand away and leaned back against her, "I just have to wear a condom." Kagome shut up in satisfaction at the thought that they could still make love and began to let him work her body.
Kagome and Inuyasha lay in the afterglow of their moments of passion. The bed Kagome had made up earlier than day destroyed. Pillows and blankets were slung everywhere. Kagome rolled onto Inuyasha's chest and kissed him. She giggled as he nuzzled into her neck, "Inuyasha." She laughed as he began nuzzling his way to her chest, "I have news for you too." He pulled her nipple into his mouth and began to suck, seemingly uninterested in what she had to say. "Well? Do you want to know what it is?" She practically moaned as he nibbled on her nipple. He pulled away with a loud pop, "What is it?" He whispered in her ear. She giggled and grabbed his hand. Moving it to rub her stomach, "it's not going to be just us anymore." Inuyasha stopped nibbling on her ear when his brain finally processed her words. He pulled back to look her in the eyes, a lazy smile spread across his face, "really?" Kagome nodded her head and he captured her into another passionate kiss. "I'm gonna be a dad." He mused as he rested his head on her chest, rubbing her small little belly bump. She smiled and began stroking his hair as they laid in his bed. Things finally seemed to slowly begin to work out.
I'm thinking like two or three more chapters, I have just a few more things I need to wrap up. Thanks for reading please leave a review! -Ainsley
