Chapter 24: This Can't Be Happening

"ARG!" Inuyasha punched the wall, causing some pieces to fall on the floor. He leaned his head on the wall and growled.

He cursed.

'Why me?' he thought furiously.

He growled and punched the wall again. This time it was harder and made a great big hole in the wall.

After what Kikyo said, Kagome immediately ran from everyone. And by first instinct, Inuyasha ran after her. Leaving Kikyo there in the lunchroom doing god knows what. When he reached for her, she leaned on the wall and fell to her knees, sobbing. He tries to comfort her and apologize but she wouldn't listen. She would cry harder and pound in his chest to leave her alone. When he refused to leave her, she pushed him back using her legs and ran out of the school.

When he got home, he tried calling her at home, but Mrs. Higurashi said she didn't want to be bothered. He tired calling her cell phone, repeatedly but she wouldn't answer. He left many voice messages, hoping she would call. After waiting for an hour, he went to her house to talk to her, but ran his ass away when he saw Souta with a gun in his hands, telling him to get the fuck away from the house. (Inuyasha didn't know it was a fake gun, but a water gun.)

He tried calling again and again when his phone ran out of batteries, which he immediately went to charge as soon as possible.

It was now night and Inuyasha is in his room feeling like shit. He has never been this angry and sad in his life. How can Kikyo do this to him? They always made sure they had protection. Either a condom or birth control bill. Did she do this on purpose? Was it an accident? They didn't use a condom a lot because she was always on the pill just in case. But then again he can't always relay on the pill since it's only 99.9 effective. There's still a chance she could still get pregnant.

Inuyasha sighed. 'What the hell am I going to do? She could be carrying my baby. But then again it could be someone else's since she does get around, but still there is a chance it's my child. I can't just leave my child alone. I can't! But I can't just leave Kagome, either. God Dammit! I love her too much! What am I going to do?'

There was a knock on the door.

Inuyasha grumbled something and went to open it. And Sesshomaru was standing on the other side. He didn't look to happy, but then again he never does since he's usually in his cold stage.

"Father is back from the meeting," he simply said, as if there is no importance.

"And?" Inuyasha spat. Like he cares about what his father does. He never cares about anything but business and money.

Sesshomaru's expression didn't change for he is used to his brother being a jerk. "He wants to talk to you," he said again.

"Well I'm not in the fuckin mood, so fuck off!" Inuyasha was about to slam the door but it was prevented when Sesshomaru forced it open and push his brother to the wall, grabbing on his collar roughly.

"You do not speak to me like that," he growled dangerously. "You messed up big time and now you have to grow up and go speak with father. His with Kikyo's father in his office." With that he let Inuyasha go and walked away.

Inuyasha growled. 'That bitch told her father!'

He walked to his father's office, very angrily. He opened the door and noticed, indeed, there was father, and Kikyo's father, Mr. Hama before him. There was also Sesshomaru, who held the expressionless face when he's in a meeting or in his father's presence. They all stared at him.

Inuyasha took one of the seat and crossed his arms.

There was silence and Mr. Takahashi was the first to speak.

"I believe you are aware of what has occurred, boy?" he said in a deep voice.

Inuyasha growled. He hates it when his father calls him 'boy.'

"Yeah."

Mr. Hama snorted. "Such a response should be prohibited."

Inuyasha stared at him. This guy is a snob. Why did he fuck Kikyo again?

Mr. Takahashi sighed and rubbed his temples. "Boy, you have done something very big I should say. Getting Kikyo pregnant? What is wrong with you?"

Inuyasha stood up and waved his arms in the air. "How is it that I'm the one who screwed up?" he pointed to Mr. Hama, "His daughter is a slut and sleeps around with any guy! There is a possibility that the child is not mine!" he roared.

Mr. Hama stood in shock and a frown grew on his old face. "How dare you! My little princess is innocent until you ruined her life. She came to me crying saying you wanted nothing to do with her. She was heart broken. Now she's carrying your child. And you, sir, are responsible for tainting my innocent child. She told me that when you found out she was pregnant, you left her there to cry and went to runt a peasant whore!"

"It's true I wanted nothing to do with her. But I did not know she was pregnant until today. I was never with her, nor will I ever be. She knew I am in love with a wonderful woman, and do NOT call her a peasant whore. She may not be rich, but she's the most wonderful, loving person I've ever met. She's my girlfriend. And before I was with her, Kikyo seduced me while I was drunk and tried to tear me apart with the REAL woman I love!" Inuyasha hissed. "You're daughter may seem innocent when you're around, but only to get what she wants. But she's a slut! She sleeps around with a lot of guys. She has been fucking around with one guy lately. There is a possibility that child she carries is not mine!"

"Inuyasha! How dare you talk like that to Mr. Hama! Boy, I should beat you for such a thing! Kikyo is not a slut and you will take care of your child!" Mr. Takahashi roared.

"That is if the child is mine," Inuyasha explained. He was getting pissed of.

"It is your child!" Mr. Hama complained. "And you will take care of it the proper way!"

Inuyasha closed his eyes and opened them again. "I WILL if the child is mine. I will pay child support and be in my child's life as much as possible!"

"No, boy!" Mr. Takahashi said. "We didn't mean it like that, we meant you will have to marry Kikyo Hama and propose to her tomorrow."

Right there, Inuyasha could of sworn he felt his world shatter and his heart burn in his chest. His eyes grew wider and his breathing stopped. "W-w-w-what?" he managed to say. Had he heard right?

Mr. Takahashi nodded. "You will marry Kikyo Hama and propose to her tomorrow," he said calmly.

"That is bull shit!"

They all stood in shock and turned to Sesshomaru, who was standing and breathing harshly.

"Father, how can you do this to your own son?" he said coldly.

"Simple, he messed it up for my princess," Mr. Hama said.

Sesshomaru glared at him. "I did not ask you." He looked back at his father.

Mr. Takahashi stood calm. "How? Like Mr. Hama said, he got Kikyo pregnant. He has to take responsibility."

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "I would say he will IF the child is his. My brother is right. Kikyo does whore herself. The child might not be his. If it is, he did say he will ay child support and be there for the child when needed or more. Now tell me that is not responsible, especially when we know he's a blockhead."

"Hey!"

Mr. Takahashi frowned. "I will not tolerate such a manner towards me by you. How dare you speak to me in such a way!"

"I will NOT marry Kikyo! I can't, not when I love another woman!" Inuyasha protest.

Mr. Hama pounded on the desk hard, but not hard enough compare to the demons in the room. "I will not sit here and see my little girl getting hurt! You will leave this whore of your's and MARRY my daughter!"

"I agree," Mr. Takahashi said. "You will leave this peasant and marry Kikyo. The girl is pregnant with your child, Inuyasha."

"We don't know that, yet!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Father," Sesshomaru growled, "This is preposterous! You cannot separate a demon from his mate to marry a woman who may not even carry his child."

Everyone stood shocked once again.

"M-m-ate?" Inuyasha whispered.

Sesshomaru nodded. "Yes. You are mated to Kagome. Did you not noticed your fangs a little longer than usual?"

Inuyasha nodded. "But how? I just thought it was something demon growing thingy I didn't know about. Like your's when they grew longer."

"Indeed. They did, but that's when I mated with Rin. Your fangs grow when you mate with your lover."

"And why didn't he mark my daughter?" Mr. Hama asked.

"Because it comes by instinct and you only mark with the one you are truly in love with," Sesshomaru explained. He turned to his father, who held a blank face. "You cannot separate a demon from his mate."

Mr. Takahashi sighed. "Noone goes with the tradition anymore. You can be with who ever, the mark will disappear either way. The mate thing is just a fairytale now. And inuyasha will marry Kikyo."

Inuyasha was still shocked by the news. 'I'm mated with Kagome? Would that explain why after these years I wasn't able to get her out of my head? She's my mate.'

"I will not marry her," Inuyasha whispered.

"Inuyasha! You will and besides it'll help both mine and Mr. Hama's corporation if you two marry. We will have a merge between the two companies and the money will rise," Mr. Takahashi explained. "Anyways what will a peasant do? The mark will fade and she will do as she pleases. She'll find another rich guy to gold dig. You, on the other hand, will have a woman of our standards and a child as an heir."

Inuyasha growled. "That's all you care about! The money! The company! This is bull shit! I will not marry Kikyo! And don't you dare call Kagome a peasant and she is not a gold digger. She is my mate!"

"Mr. Takahashi, can I please have some time alone with Inuyasha?" Mr. Hama asked.

Mr. Takahashi hesitated but nodded. "Come Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru growled. He may not show it, but he cares for Kagome. Not because she pulls pranks on Inuyasha but because she is a very wonderful woman. He can't stand to let her get hurt. He stood up and walked out of the office with such anger.

As he walked out in front of him was someone he would never thought would be here.

Kikyo standing in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes and walked towards her. She noticed him with her puffy eyes from 'crying' and smiled sadly. "Sesshomaru?" her voice was fake.

"Don't play with me. I know that child is not my brother's. You just can't accept the fact that noone will ever love you or even want you," he said coldly.

Kikyo furrowed her brows. "How can you say such a thing?" then she smirked, "then again that is what makes you, you. A cold-hearted bastard. This child is Inuyasha's and I will use it to have him all to myself."

Sesshomaru glared at her. He was about to say something when his father came out of the office. Then Kikyo's smirk faded and put on a sad face.

'Evil bitch,' Sesshomaru thought.

In the office there was silence.

Inuyasha growled. "Aren't going to talk, you old fart?"

Mr. Hama frown. Then he smirked. He walked up to the hanyou. "You will marry my daughter."

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "What if I don't? What will a fucked up jackass like yourself do to me? Remember I am a demon, I can kill you."

Mr. Hama chuckled. "My little princess wants you and she will have you. I know how a demon is very possessive of his mate."

Right there, it caught Inuyasha by surprise. He narrowed his eyes. "You wouldn't dare lay a hand on Kagome."

Mr. Hama chuckled. "If you don't marry my daughter. . .let's just say something terrible will happen to your mate. I may be human but I know how to bring down a filthy demon such as yourself."

Inuyasha's eyes grew wide. "You won't.. ."

Mr. Hama raised an eyebrow. "Wouldn't I? Do you think it's wise to test me, Inuyasha? Would you want Kagome hurt?"

Inuyasha's instincts kicked in. Thinking about Kagome hurt or worse would bring him to great misery. He shook his head.

"Good," Mr. Hama smiled. "Will you marry my daughter?"

Inuyasha didn't know what to do. This is Mr. Hama. Human, yes. But he brought down many powerful companies down. He has his clever ways. Now wonder Kikyo's a bitch! Mr. Hama has connections and he isn't one to mess with. Inuyasha can't let Kagome's life be in danger. He can't live knowing he was the cause of Kagome getting hurt. She might suffer a great heart ache but she'll move on. . .right?

He made his decision.

"I'll marry Kikyo," he said.

Mr. Hama smiled. "Smart choice."

He called everyone to came in. And by Inuyasha's surprise, Kikyo came in, too.

Mr. Hama hugged his daughter.

"I will like to say that Inuyasha has agreed," he said. "He will marry my daughter."

Sesshomaru's eyes grew wide and glared at his brother.

Inuyasha covered his eyes with his bangs. 'I'm sorry Kagome.'

Kikyo hugged him and 'cried tears of joy.'

"I want you to propose to me tomorrow at school," she said.

Inuyasha winced. Kagome might be in school. "Why? You know I'm marrying you," he said rudely.

Kikyo frowned. "Yes, but I want everyone to know. And do it over the intercom."

'Bitch,' he thought. He knew why in school. She wants Kagome to be there. He nodded.

After a while everyone left.

Only leaving Sesshomaru and Inuyasha there in the office alone.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sesshomaru snapped.

Inuyasha didn't answer.

"Did you know father didn't tell you the entire truth," he said.

"About?" Inuyasha whispered.

"The mark will fade, but once you mate with your lover you'll create a bond so strong, that will last for a long time," Sesshomaru said. "Kagome will be your mate forever, no matter what."

"Why didn't I know this?" Inuyasha questioned, while looking down.

Sesshomaru sighed. "Father said he was going to be the one to tell you, but it seems it slipped his mind like always. I didn't tell you, yet, because I wanted to see if Kagome was you're real mate. I wanted to tell you when you graduated."

Inuyasha looked at his brother.

Sesshomaru stood still. Inuyasha was. . .crying?

Yes, teas ran down his face. It hurts him to know that he will be with Kikyo when Kagome will be bound to him forever. He will never be at peace with her.

He walked out.

Leaving Sesshomaru thinking what made him chose to marry a witch and if the child is really Inuyasha's.

In class, everyone took notes.

Kagome, on the other hand, couldn't concentrate. She looked out the window.

Her face was blank.

'It won't stop, would it,' she thought.

She sighed. Yesterday, she didn't want to talk to anyone. After what Kikyo said, it nearly killed her.

She wiped a tear from her cheek. She had the whole night to think.

Inuyasha kept calling her.

'Maybe I was too hard on him,' she thought. 'The baby might not be Inuyasha's. but if it is then what? Who am I to separate a child from his father? Maybe I should go over to his house today and talk to him. Maybe we can work thing out.'

She has never felt so shitty in her life, until. . .

"Hello fellow classmates," a voice from the intercom said.

Kagome's ear lit up. It was Inuyasha's voice. She thought he was absent. What the hell is he doing talking?

"I. . .um have a special announcement . . ."

Kagome listened carefully.

"I would to ask someone I deeply love a very special question . . ."

Kagome's heart jumped.

"Will you marry me . . ."

Kagome stopped breathing. 'Is this really happening!'

"Kikyo Hama."

Kagome's heart shattered. Tears ran down her face. She didn't know what to do. She could sense anything. She was shaking. She didn't even noticed his voice was dead when said Kikyo's name.

'W-w-what? He's going to m-m-marry K-k-kiyo?'

She didn't even bothered to see Sango running to her side trying to calm her down. Or even the teacher asking what the hell is going on?

Everything was dead to Kagome right that instant. Inuyasha, the man she loves with all her heart is going to marry Kikyo? This can't be happening! Did he really love Kikyo? What about her?

She felt her heart stop beating.

She felt her eyes water even more.

She felt her stomach turn.

She did one thing. . .

She ran.

She ran to the girl's bathroom.

She was sobbing uncontrollably.

'Can it get any worse then this!' she yelled in her mind.

Again her stomach turned.

She felt it. Her eyes widen.

'No!'

She ran to the nearest toilet.

She tried to stop it but couldn't.

Her eyes widen when she finished and flushed the foul smell.

Her sobs were louder.

She, once again didn't noticed Sango and her brother running in the girl's bathroom trying to calm her down. If they would of come earlier they would have been shocked by what has occurred. Just like Kagome is right now. When she just found out she might be. . .

'Pregnant.'

Wow! So many reviews! I love you guys!

I bet you guys hate me now, huh? Sorry if the chapter is shitty but I needed to find a way to add more drama in it. To make it have more suspense.

Now please tell me what should happen to Kagome? Should she be pregnant or will it be one of those false ones? Should she tell Inuyasha? What should she do if she is pregnant?

Please review. Once again, I need suggestions.

Question of the Day- will you keep a dark secret from the one you love? and why?

Tootles!
