AN: Thank you for the reviews! All were appreciated. I am very happy that you guys are enjoying my story and as promised, here is your next chapter. Probably one of the best...actually no the next one is even better...but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Well here it is and as always
enjoy!
Kagome and I have been together about a month. So far we've both been pretty quiet about it and nobody at school knows. It's not that difficult to hide though. I never actually have girlfriends; I just sleep around, usually with Kikyo; nothing out of the ordinary. Kagome is apparently a nerd when it comes to schoolwork, so she doesn't have time for a boyfriend anyways. The only thing that changed is that she quit cheerleading once football season ended instead of doing basketball too. But she still does her lame volunteer work so it's not that strange.
My parents already had a talk with Kagome about school. She is supposed to have the baby in the middle of our spring semester but until then she's staying in school. Winter break is coming up in a month. So she probably won't start showing until she comes back. I still don't know what we're going to do about telling people.
Everyone is going to find out eventually. It's only a matter of how.
The bell rang for my gym class to end and we all went back to the lockers to get changed. Naraku walks over to me when he finishes getting dressed.
"Yash, when you're done come with me. We're skipping second."
I smirked. "Alright, sounds good. Got anything planned?" I shut my locker and start to follow him out of the school.
"Yeah, man we need to talk." He looks at me seriously.
I feel myself getting suspicious. "Oh yeah? What about?"
"I'll tell you when we go to my car."
"Okay." I eye him as we walk across the parking lot in silence.
We make it to his black jeep and hurry in to get out of the cold weather. Before talking we both light up a square.
"So, you gonna tell me what's up?" I asked.
"Alright, but first I have to ask you something. What's up with you and Miroku's little cousin?"
He caught me off guard with that one. "Who Kagome?"
"Yeah. I'm surprised you even know her name seeing as you two avoid each other like the plague." He laughs.
"Ha," I laughed dryly, "What about her?"
"Tell me what's going on between you two."
"Nothing."
He shakes his head. "Inuyasha, I'm dating Kagura. Her best friends are Kikyo and Yura. What do we know about Yura?"
I send a glare towards the building where Yura was. "So what the fuck did that little crony tell you then?"
"That Kagome Higurashi is knocked up and rumor has it you're the one who did it."
I pause. Minus the marriage he kind of hit the head on the nail there.
My silence confirms Naraku's suspicions and he shakes his head without saying anything.
"How did she find out? Kagome wouldn't have told them. She can't stand Kiks or Yura, and she only tolerates Kagura because she's been sitting at the lunch table."
Naraku raises an eyebrow at my knowledge of Kagome.
I've been living with her about a month, so I guess it's noticeable.
"Kikyo was complaining to Kagura about you. She's caught you stealing glances at her."
"I have not!" I really haven't. I just check on her every time I see her to make sure she's okay. Not that I care but my mom loves her. So I'm only doing it for my mom. That's the only reason. Really though.
"Well Kagura asked Yura, the eyes and ears of the school to do some snooping. When Kagome dropped her purse in the bathroom Yura saw a small bottle. And the bitch already has a million brothers and sisters by her whore mother. She can point out a bottle of prenatal pills a mile away. Which she did."
I shake my head while taking it in. This is it. This is when the shit hits the fan. I can already imagine the shit everyone is about to give me. And bye bye Kikyo's pussy it was nice knowing you. Aw fuck!
I slap my hands against my head and moan.
"Inuyasha," Naraku says getting my attention.
"What?"
"Kagura is telling Kikyo right before lunch. When Kikyo has a study hall. Which means-"
"Yeah, I know what it means." I cut him off. "It means Kikyo is gonna be pissed as hell and come into the lunch hall ready to start shit with me and Kagome."
"Exactly."
Without another word I leave the car and go back into the building without any teachers noticing me.
The halls are empty as I make my way down to Kagome's classroom. I send her a text message to get out of class ASAP because we need to talk. She won't get it though. The goody girl would never text during class.
Walking up to the room I notice that the door is open. Good. I sneak over and get the attention of the kid sitting in the back.
I whisper, "Get Kagome."
The boy nods and tells the kid in front of him. Then it eventually gets to the girl and she turns around. I mouth out 'come here now' and wave out away from the class.
She rolls her eyes and turns around to raise her hand.
"Yes Kagome?"
"I need to go to the bathroom please."
"Well," I see the teacher look at her wristwatch, "The bell rings in a few minutes so I'm sure you can just hang tight for a moment."
"Yes ma'am."
The stupid teacher turned back around to writing on the bored. Then Kagome mouths out the word sorry to me.
I just roll my eyes. Fucking A.
So I wander around the hall for the next couple of minutes before I hear the bell ring and the halls fill with students.
I make my way to Kagome's class again and eventually she walks out of the room.
We walk to her locker. She always goes there before lunch.
"So what's up Inuyasha?" she throws her books in, closes the metal door, and we start heading to the cafeteria. "We never talk in school." She eyes me.
"Well, we have some issues that need to be dealt with."
"Okay," she starts to slow down, "but I need to go to the bathroom first."
I scoff. "Whatever." We end up standing in front of the bathroom door. "Just make sure you sit next to me at lunch, got it?"
"Yeah, sure." She waves me off walking into the bathroom.
"Ah fuck." I mumble to myself when I walk past Kikyo and her friends.
The lunch room is right next to one of the main entrances so I quickly go outside to sneak a cig before the drama goes down.
Once I make it into the cafeteria and grab my food, I see everybody except Sango and Kagome sitting at the table. I sit in my normal spot next to my best bud.
"Hey Miroku, you mind scooting down a seat?"
He gives me a weird look. "Sure Yash," he gets up and sits in Sango's seat. "Mind if I ask why?"
"You'll find out in a minute." I reply as I pop a nugget into my mouth.
Not much later the girls walk over.
Sango stops a few feet away. "Um, Miroku, why are you sitting in my seat?"
Kagome answers for him. "It's okay Sango; I'm sitting by Inuyasha today." She does as she says and takes her seat next to me.
The table gets quiet as Sango takes her seat. Then she joins everyone in staring at me and Kagome.
"Hey what's up with you two sitting together?" Koga is the first to break the silence.
"What do you mean what's up?" I say.
"Well you guys never talk unless you're bitching at her about one thing or another."
I don't get to answer back because I hear a voice behind me.
"Inuyasha."
I turn around. "What's up Kikyo?"
She smirks and looks down at Kagome, who has a dumb look on her face. "Well I just wanted to ask you and Kagome here a couple of questions."
"Okay." I say.
"Hmph," she crosses her arms over her chest, "Well we've been together for a couple years now and I distinctly remember you telling me that you don't want any kids." She gives me a death glare. "And since you don't know how to wrap it up I've gotten pregnant twice, but both times you made me get an abortion!"
I hear a few gasps at from the people around me and saw Kagome's jaw drop. "Keep it down Kikyo." I growl out. This bitch is embarrassing me. I didn't want anybody, especially Kagome knowing about those.
"Keep it down?" she fumed, "You expect me to keep it down after I find out you got this prissy little bitch pregnant? You expect me to keep it down after I find out she's keeping the little bastard?"
Great now people are starting to look.
"Hey!" I watch Kagome stand up, "First of all, it's not any of your business announcing to the world about me being pregnant." More gasping from the group. "Second off, I understand you might get a bit jealous that I'm keeping my baby since you were wouldn't keep yours, but you have no right to call me names!"
Kikyo turned her wrath away from me. "What the hell did you just say to me?"
Kagome moved a bit closer, her hormones must have been kicking in. "You heard me. Maybe if you weren't such a slut you'd have the guts to keep your kids. But then again, I can't imagine the embarrassment of not knowing for sure who the father of your child is, because we all know Inuyasha isn't the only one you've been sleeping with. He just so happens to be the one you do it with the most."
Kikyo's mouth dropped open; as did everyone else's within hearing range.
Kagome continued. "You think your hot shit because all the guys in the school had sex with you but they only wanted you because men are lazy and you're one of the easiest girls here."
I heard a few snickers on that one, even I smirked. I didn't know Kagome had it in her.
Kikyo took a step forward and grabbed Kagome's wrist. "Fuck y-"
"No," Kagome interrupted snatching her hand away, "Fuck you! I am not in the mood for this, Kikyo, and don't you ever put your hands on me again. Got that?"
It was time I ended this. I stood up to get in between the two girls. I can see Kikyo is about to go into attack mode. "Alright Kikyo, that's enough." I say, reaching my arm to add some distance between them.
"Oh you just wait till I get my hands on you Kagome, its over."
"I don't think so." Kagome stepped around me and got in Kikyo's face. "You want to hurt me Kikyo?"
I saw Kiks face scrunch a little bit in anger and confusion.
"Well I can hurt you too." Kagome smirked. "Deep down behind your whorish ways I know you want Inuyasha here all to yourself."
Kikyo's eyes narrowed and I felt myself getting nervous.
Okay Kagome's hormones, you can stop now.
"Well tell me how much this hurts, okay? Inuyasha and I are married," she taunted, "and I live with him; for the next eighteen years he will never completely be yours."
Kikyo froze. "That's not true."
"Oh it isn't?" Kagome turned around and reached into her purse grabbing something small out.
"Kagome." I say, this needs to stop. She's acting crazy.
Then she faced Kikyo again "Then explain this." She placed her wedding ring on her finger and put her hand in front of Kikyo's face.
Kikyo eyed the ring cautiously. Then in the blink of an eye Kikyo pushed past me and leaped onto Kagome; they both went down swinging.
"Shit!" I step in to break them up.
Now I know I haven't ever given a crap about Kagome or the baby but I won't let Kikyo hurt either of them.
Miroku who was nearest to me helped me get a hold of Kikyo and we pulled her off the smaller girl. But Kagome must have been losing her mind because for some reason she decided to leap towards Kikyo once she was free.
So Sango ended up grabbing Kagome and holding her back as soon as the teachers made their way over.
"Inuyasha," the cafeteria aid sighs, "why am I not surprised to see you in the middle of this?"
"Oh, give me a break."
She ignores me and looks at the rest of the group. "Miss Higurashi?" Her eyes widen.
Kagome breaks free of Sango's hold and rubs her arm. "It's Takahashi now." She says while sending a glare over to Kikyo.
"Oh my." The woman shakes her head at us. "I want the three of you to go to the principle office. Kikyo, you're going to walk in front of us. Inuyasha, you will be walking alongside me so I can make sure you don't get lost. And Kagome, I trust you to follow us behind. Am I understood?"
Kikyo stomps her foot and turns around, leading the way.
On the way there the aid starts to talk to me. "So Inuyasha, what seems to be going on here?"
I shrug. "Nothing much, just two girls being overly dramatic."
"Uh huh, and Mrs. Takahashi?"
"What?" I roll my eyes at her. "We got married a while back so that's her name."
"Okay," she says with a strange tone. "I don't think I want to know more."
I smirked. "Trust me, you don't."
We all made our way into the principal's office and took our seats.
Unfortunately there were only 2 seats, so me being the gentleman I am, I stood up. I'm just kidding, I can't have Kagome standing because of the pregnancy and I do not trust Kikyo standing behind either of our backs.
The principal took a hard look at each of us. "Alright so why were you fighting?"
"No," Kagome spoke up. "I was defending myself from this lunatic." She pointed her thumb at Kikyo.
Kikyo sent her the coldest glare I've ever seen. "Lunatic?"
"Enough." The principal interjected. Then he looked at me. "Inuyasha, what is it you have to do with this."
I sigh for the millionth time today. "I got Kagome pregnant so when Kikyo found out, she wanted to confront us about it. During said confrontation Kagome here decides to drop the bomb about us being married. Then they start brawling."
He nods soaking it in. "Okay so I don't understand what Kagome being pregnant has to do with you, Kikyo?"
"Because," she said, "Inuyasha is my boyfriend."
"He's not your boyfriend." Kagome snapped. "He's married to me!" Since when did she care? She doesn't even like me!
The man ignored them. "Who threw the first punch?"
I don't say a word while the two girls point at each other.
"It was her."
"She did it."
The principal shakes his head. "Well whoever it was, you both are in trouble. Kagome, since this is your first offence you will have detention for the rest of this week starting tomorrow. Kikyo, you are suspended for the rest of the week. Inuyasha, for once you haven't got caught doing anything."
Everyone took a minute to soak it in. I mean, I pretty much have detention this whole week too. Since I'm Kagome's ride and whatnot.
"You may leave."
We all stand up and walk out of the office. I make sure to walk next to Kagome just in case either of them tries anything.
"Inuyasha," Kikyo says, "You and I still have to talk."
"Yeah well we can talk later when Kagome's not around."
She didn't respond. Just glared and headed towards her study hall. Kagome and I walk back to the lunch room.
"You okay?" I ask. I know she's not the fighting type, nor the instigating type and she was both today.
Obviously I shouldn't have said anything because next thing I know, Kagome stops walking and just starts sobbing in her hands.
"Kagome!" I'm so confused. "Why are you crying? Stop that."
She shook her head. "I can't… I can't help it. I was, was having a, a good…" she pauses to breath in, "a good day. Now it's ruined!"
I grab her in for a hug. Hopefully nobody enters the hallway and sees this. "Kagome quit crying. It's no big deal. I'll handle Kikyo and she won't bother you again."
Her trembling stops and soon it's just a few sniffles here and there. "You will?" she mumbles against my chest.
I sigh. "Yeah, I will." I pull away and look at her wet face. "You done now?"
She pulls back and wipes her face. "Yeah." Then she smiles. "Thank you Inuyasha. I guess you do have a heart after all."
"Whatever." I turn away and start walking. "Now can we go and eat our lunch before time runs out?"
Ten steps later the bell rings. "Aw, dammit!"
I hear Kagome giggling behind me.
"Yeah real funny Kagome." I say sarcastically. Then I turn around and give her a smirk. "I guess we'll just have to be late the doctor's appointment so I can grab something to eat on the way there." With that said I turn to the direction of my lockers.
"But Inuyasha, we can't be late." She called out.
"Oh well." I answer before disappearing into the crowd.
I make it to my locker where I see Miroku. "Miroku!"
He sees me and shakes his head. "Wow, is all I have to say."
"Yeah, tell me about it."
"Inuyasha, where is Kagome?"
"Probably walking to her locker."
"By herself?"
"Yeah by herse…oh shit." I can't leave a hormonal Kagome by herself with Kikyo in psycho mode. I take the last of my things and rush to close my locker and so I can go over to Kagome's.
I get there as soon as she closes her own. "Kagome."
She gives me a weird look when I start to walk with her. "Inuyasha is it just me or do you feel like everyone is staring at us?"
"What?" I start to look at all the other kids and realize that she's right. Most of them are looking at either us or her stomach area. Word gets out fast. "What the fuck are you all looking at?"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded, "Now you just got everyone else to look." She quickly looks down and tries to hide the obvious blush on her face.
I laugh, "Oh come on, since when has miss cheerleader been afraid of the spotlight?"
She cracked a smile and we continued our way to her class. "Since the spotlight was about something to put me at the center of everyone dirty gossip."
I cross my arms. Well kind of even though I'm holding books. "There isn't shit for them to gossip about. I dare someone to say something to you. You let me know." Now that the secrets out I'm not about to have being a fucked up husband added to my list.
"Thanks Inuyasha." She gave me that smile. You know, the smile that says…well I'm not sure exactly but it's usually the one that girls give me when they have a crush on me.
"Yeah well don't think it's because I like you or anything." Because I don't. "I just don't hate you as much, and you're not as annoying or anything."
She only answered with that smile.
AN: Well? What did you think? I hope this was up to your expectations:) And same as before, more reviews=faster update!
