Chapter 25: Are You?

'I can't be! Oh God! Please I can't be!' Kagome chanted in her mind as she waited for the test results to be ready. She sitting on the edge of the bathtub, ripping little sheets of toilet paper in her hands.

After she threw up and Sango and Souta came to comfort her, she told them. The two teens were stunned and Souta once again sang his own version of Scooby-Doo. They all, including Kohaku, left school and took Kagome home. Miroku couldn't saying he had to take care of something.

Now, she is here in the bathroom taking a pregnancy test. She told her mom, and at first, Mrs. Higurashi was shocked, of course, then gave her daughter the 'you should have used protection,' and then she cried a little, but accepted the fact that what's done is done. She, herself, went to get a pregnancy test for her daughter and told her she will always be there if she needed her.

Everyone is waiting in the living room. They are all eager and anxious to know if she's really pregnant or not.

Kagome heard the little ring noise and held her breathe. She could feel the tension in the room, even if she's by herself at the moment. She feel everyone else in the living room waiting for her answer.

She gulped and hesitantly grabbed the test and slowly took a look at it.

Her body felt like she was going to fall down. Tears ran down her cheeks. She stood up and walked to the living room.

When she got there, everyone looked at her and stood up immediately waiting for the results.

"Well, sis?" Souta said softly. There was some impatience in his voice, but who can blame him, he was angry for what Inuyasha did.

Kagome wiped her tears and now held a blank expression on her pasty face.

She stood quiet.

"Kagome? Sweety are you or are you not pregnant?" Mrs. Higurashi asked in a quiet voice.

She stood quiet, once again.

"Kagome?" Sango said. She was crying. Her friend looked so broken. Kagome didn't look this broken when she thought Inuyasha was using her. Is it that bad?

Kagome titled her head to Sango's direction and stared at her. She blinked.

Then she looked a head. Just staring into nothing.

"Kagome! Answer us!" Souta yelled. He didn't like his sister like this. Inuyasha will pay dearly, and he will make sure of that. He was actually crying. His vision blurred a little. "God Dammit! Answer us!" he kept yelling when he heard nothing from his sister.

Kagome closed her eyes. When she opened them, there was hot tears ready fall, but she didn't let them fall down.

"You want to know?" she whispered.

Everyone stood silent.

"You want to know if I'm pregnant or not?" she said with her voice raising.

"Kagome?" Sango said quietly.

"You want to know if I'm carrying Inuyasha's child?" her voice grew louder.

"Kagome, calm down," her mother soothed, afraid what her daughter might do if she were to advance at her.

Kagome was shaking. She didn't hear her mother. "You want to know! Is that it!" she yelled. Her throat felt dry, but she didn't care.

"Kagome, just breathe," Kohaku said softly. He, too, was afraid and crying.

Kagome fell to her knees, letting the hot, retched tears fall down. She pounded on the floor, not caring if there was blood forming on her knuckles. Not caring if her brother ran by her side holding her tight and cried with her. Everyone knelt down and tried to hold her as well, but Souta kept a good grip on her. Everyone rubbed her back and stroke her hair to calm her down.

"Kagome, baby, pay attention to me," Mrs. Higurashi said, as she wiped her tears.

Kagome didn't bother to look at her, for she continued crying in her brother's chest.

"Kagome, look at me!" she ordered.

This time Kagome slowly looked at her mother with swollen red eyes.

Mrs. Higurashi felt her heart clenched in her chest tightly. She felt as if she had failed to be a responsible, caring mother for her children. Right there if she had the choice she would kill herself, for she will pray to never see that expression on her daughter's face again.

"Please tell us," she whispered, pleadingly. Her own voice was shaky.

Kagome looked at the floor. When she spoke her voice was raspy and dry. . .

"I'm pregnant."

Inuyasha sat on the stool in the bar, drinking the rest of the bottle of Brandy. He drank at least two other bottles, so this one is his third. He tried to find Kagome but he heard from students she ran after his announcement on the intercom.

He knew something like this would happen. He could go to her house and try to explain, but then he remembered Mr. Hama's threat. And Souta and his 'gun.' He's being forced to keep away from her. Mr. Hama also mentioned before he left to school that he should stay away from Kagome or else.

Inuyasha growled.

It killed him to know he was hurting Kagome. But she'll move on, right? Oh, he'll pray, even beg god to let her move on. It hurts him the most to know that they may never have a chance to actually be together in peace. It's like everyone is trying to tear them aprat. Or more like Kikyo.

He slammed his fist into the table.

"Hey! Take that to the street, not in my bar, buddy!" yelled the bartender.

Inuyasha grunted and ignored him. How can Kikyo be so evil? How can she do something like this?

Then it hit him.

'Her child might be mine,' he thought.

"I thought I'll find you here?" he heard.

Inuyasha turned around slowly. Miroku stood there. He sighed. He was relieved. He can use someone to talk to.

Miroku approached to him. "Inu?" his voice was flat.

"Miroku," Inuyasha's voice was hoarsely.

Then what his best friend did caught him by surprised.

Miroku frowned and punched the hanyou right in the jaw. It cause him to fall on the floor.

Inuyasha looked up at his friend in shock. Before he could speak, Miroku kicked him in the stomach. Inuyasha gasped in pain. Drinking to much alcohol probably made his stomach sensitive.

"You asshole!" Miroku yelled as he continued to kick Inuyasha in the stomach. He didn't care if he was actually hurting the hanyou or not.

"How could you? Why? You love her, dammit! Why do you have to marry kikyo! Is this some kind of sick joke!" he yelled as he stopped.

Inuyasha did nothing but laid on the floor.

Miroku growled and picked up the hanyou, ignoring everyone chanting for him to kick his ass and the bartender yelling for him to stop. He pushed the hanyou against the wall.

"Do you have any idea how Kagome is feeling?" he yelled at Inuyasha, who kept his eyes covered with his bangs.

Miroku frowned and punched him again. He punched and punched. He wanted him to respond.

Inuyasha did nothing in returned. He could feel blood tickling it's way out from his mouth. He didn't care.

"You bastard!" Miroku yelled. He grabbed the hanyou and pushed him again against the wall. There was a loud thud.

"Kagome is now at home suffering because of you! Do you know how she looked like when she heard you propose to Kikyo? She ran, Inuyasha! She was crying and shaking! You messed up big time! And you know what?" he yelled but said the last part lowly.

The hanyou didn't respond.

Miroku narrowed his eyes. "You don't deserve her at all. I guess you are a jerk after all. You don't deserve her love for you," he whispered with so much anger and hate in his voice.

He stood there waiting for the him to make a reaction. And he saw it. Inuyasha's shoulders shaking.

Miroku growled and pushed him harder against the wall. "This isn't time to laugh! It's all your fault!"

Then Inuyasha looked up. No, he wasn't laughing, but crying. Big, hot tears ran down his face and looked at his best friend straight in the eye.

"I wish I was dead," he whispered.

Miroku let go of him and stepped back. He looked at the man in front of him in disbelieve. His eyes held so much pain and regret.

"Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha closed his eyes and walked away, pushing his friend during the process, and walked to the exit.

Miroku stood there looking at the exit. Where his friend walked away.

The next day at school, everyone seemed quiet. Except for some student, looking and whispering things about Kagome.

Kagome sat there quiet, taking her notes. She ignored everyone's stares. Inuyasha also, sat in his desk and wrote his notes as if nothing happened.

Her mother and brother told her to stay home, but she knew better. If she didn't come it'll be harder for her and face Inuyasha. Her mom did ask her what she wanted to do with the child. Abortion was out of the question. She would never kill a small soul in her. Adoption? She shook her head. This is HER child. She will take care of it. She would never leave her child alone. She will love it and take care of it.

But. . .

'Inuyasha deserves to at least know the truth,' she said to herself.

The bell rang.

She could feel her heart beating.

She took her time, noting that he was going to be the last one to get out of class.

He walked out the door, but she ran after him.

"Inuyasha?"

He kept on walking.

Kagome felt her heart clench. "Inuyasha?"

Still walking, but a little faster.

She felt like crying. He was ignoring her. But then she felt angry. How dare he ignore her! How dare he do this to her! How dare he!

She ran after him and pushed him to the lockers.

Inuyasha didn't bother to look at her. "What do you want?" his voice sounded annoyed.

Kagome frowned. "Not even a hello kiss?" she said sarcastically.

Inuyasha stood quiet.

"Look at me," she said.

He didn't.

"I said look at me! Now!" she punched him in the chest.

Inuyasha regretted when he did. Which is the whole reason why he didn't want to look at her. Because her face expression was indescribable. He wanted to hold her and comfort her, but her eyes with so much pain. He could tell she has been crying. He couldn't blame her. He was reason.

"What do you want?" he said it a little too harsh than he wanted to.

Kagome slapped him across the face hard. "I hate you! Why! What happened to you? Are you just marrying her because she's pregnant?" she yelled.

"I'm marrying her because I love her," Inuyasha lied. God, it hurt him to say that. He wanted to kill himself. But he cannot risk Kagome's life like this.

Kagome could feel the tear run down again. "What did you say?"

"You heard me Kagome," he whispered.

Kagome pounded on his chest. " I hate you! You don't love her! You love me! What about me? What about us?" she sobbed.

Inuyasha felt tears forming in his eyes but he couldn't let them fall. "There was never an 'us.'"

Kagome froze. She looked up at him. "Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha pushed her off him. "You were just a fuck. I don't love you. Kikyo is going to be my wife and you are just a noone."

His cold, harsh voice made Kagome wince.

Kagome pounded him again. "That's not true! What is she doing this time, Inuyasha? Is she blackmailing you? What? Tell me! Please! I need to know!" she sobbed harder.

"Forget it Kagome! I'm marrying her. Now leave me alone," he ordered.

"What did she do to you?" she yelled.

"Will you listen to yourself! Just leave me alone!" he yelled.

"How can I when I'm in fuckin in love with you! You love me! And I love you! Why this? Why can't we just be together in peace! What about me? I need you, now and ever," she pleaded in a quiet voice. Her sobs were growing worse.

Inuyasha looked at her as she fell to her knees and cry. A tear ran down his cheek. He growled when he told himself he wouldn't cry.

"I need you. We need you," Kagome said quietly.

"What are you talking about? Who's we?" Inuyasha questioned.

Kagome stood up and looked at him. Her eyes were once again red and puffy. Her nose rosy. She took a deep breathe. "I'm pregnant."

Inuyasha felt his mind go blank for a second. His body was shaking. "What?" he whispered.

Kagome let out another loud sob. "I'm pregnant," she said.

Surprising the two of them, Inuyasha pulled her into a hug and started crying. Forgetting about the threat. Forgetting about anything.

'She's pregnant,' he said to himself.

His demon blood boiled. 'My mate is pregnant.'

Kagome grabbed his head and made him face her. She wiped away the tears from his face. "I love you," she whispered.

Inuyasha has never been in so much pain in his life. He looked at her beautiful, blue eyes and shook his head. "We can't," he said.

Kagome closed her eyes. "What did she do?" she whispered, letting more tears run down her face.

Inuyasha sighed. "It can never happen. Us. It can't."

Kagome shook her head. "You still don't know if the baby is your's."

"You don't understand. Kagome, you're better of without me. We can't," he whispered, letting her go. He looked at her flat stomach and let out a sad chuckle. 'It's actually there,' he said to himself.

Kagome touched his hands. "Please, Inuyasha. Don't leave us," she begged.

Inuyasha shook his head. "It can't. I'm sorry," with that he left her, alone.

He didn't bother to look at her. He couldn't tell her why he did what he did. And it hurts. It hurts so much. He's not only leaving Kagome, but his own child. Inside he felt happy that his mate is carrying his pup, but he felt sad, also. Not only is Kagome's life in danger, but his unborn pup. And it's killing him. The pain is eating him alive.

Tears ran down and this time he didn't care who saw.

Nothing can be done.

Sango volunteered to stay for the night at Kagome's house. And Kagome agreed to it. She need someone to be there for her.

Sango sighed. 'I'm sorry Kagome,' she said to herself as she sat on the floor of Kagome's room. 'You don't deserve this.'

The door from the room opened and Kagome walked in a towel. She had just finished taking a shower.

"Giving me a tease, I see," Sango teased. She thought maybe if she made some jokes Kagome could at least smile.

"I just forgot my top is all," Kagome said flatly.

Sango sighed. 'I guess it's to early for jokes, huh?' She looked back at her friend and noticed something.

"Kagome?" Sango said with a serious face.

Kagome looked at her friend. "What?"

Sango pointed at her. "What's that?" her voice sounded stern.

Kagome looked at where she was pointing at. Her shoulder. Kagome shrugged. "Nothing."

Sango shook her head. "Kagome, honey, I know it hurts but did Inuyasha do that?"

Kagome took a deep breath. "Yes. I guess he likes to bite, huh?" she said grimly.

Sango stood up and looked at the mark on her shoulder. She gasped. "Kagome? Do you even know what this is?"

Kagome shrugged. "A hickey that's fading away?"

Sango shook her head. She grabbed her friend by the shoulders. "Kagome, that's a mate mark. Inuyasha marked you."

Kagome did nothing but shrug. She pushed her friend slightly and walked to her bed.

Sango stared at her in disbelieve. "Do you even care? He marked you!" she yelled.

Kagome laid on her bed and turned to her best friend. "What's the point? He said so himself, we can't be together. We'll never be in peace. I'll go on. With my child, of course, and I don't need him. He'll have Kikyo." With that she turned around and forced herself to sleep.

Sango let a tear run down the side of her cheek. 'She told him, didn't she? And he rejected her? His own child? But he marked her! It doesn't make sense!' she thought.

Sango sighed and knelt down and laid on her sleeping bag. She was facing Kagome's bed and could see everything under her bed. There was nothing. She never keeps stuff under her bed. But there was one thing that caught Sango's eyes.

It was a little piece of paper.

Being curious, she reached for it.

It looks like a business card.

She almost gasped when she read who it belonged to. She looked up at Kagome and noticed her best friend sleeping. Sango looked at the card again. Kagome must of dropped it and it fell under her bed. She got up and walked out the room.

She was stopped by Souta and asked her what's going on? Sango explained everything about the mark and the little card.

Souta's eyes grew big and looked at the card in her hand. They both quickly ran the house phone.

And dialed the number.

One thing was stuck in Sango's thoughts.

'But he marked her.'

Hey! I'm really sorry if it was a little emotional last chapter. But thank you for reviewing. It helped a lot to make this next chapter, but sorry if it still sucks.

Okay! Kagome's pregnant, too! Big surprise, huh? Poor girl! I, myself, feel like crying for her.

Now what will happen next? Hhhmm. . . .I wonder.

Please review and tell me what you guys suggest!
