Chapter 2

Surprise?

Sango stared at her expectedly.

"Sesshomaru—I'm uh…pregnant." Kagome sighed. There…she had said it.

"Man," the man on the other line said. "That's the best prank call I've gotten in years. I'll relay the message to Fluffy for you though. Who is this anyways?"

Kagome's eyes widened. "Inuyasha?" she practically yelled.

"Holy—KAGOME?"

Kagome did the first thing she could think of. She hung up the phone.

Sango looked at her quizzically. "What the hell just happened?"

Inuyasha stared at the phone in disbelief. He had just gotten back from his trip to America to see Miroku and here he was staring wide-eyed at the phone, contemplating what his old friend had just confessed to him—but it was meant for his brother.

He grabbed the phone again and dialed Sango's number. If anyone knew anything it would be her.

"'Ello?" she greeted.

He could hear Kagome on the other line moving around. "It's Yasha. I know Kags is there so for all she knows it's Miro ok?"

"Damn pervert," she mumbled.

"Huh?" It took him a second but he caught on. "Oh, right. Anyways what does Kagome mean she's pregnant? Please tell me this is a cruel joke?"

"Nada. It's all true."

Inuyasha growled. "My bastard brother is going to fucking pay."

"Don't say anything Miro," Sango said from the other line. "Hey Kags, I'll be right back. I need to yell at the lech."

Inuyasha heard Kagome giggle.

"Okay I'm out of her hearing range."

"Mhm."

"Seriously don't do anything. She needs to tell him herself."

"Please tell me he raped her."

"You want her to get raped?"

Inuyasha groaned. "You mean she actually slept with the sick fucker?"

"One hundred percent."

"I'll kill him."

Kagome looked at the door suspiciously. Sango didn't normally have such civil conversations with Miroku. It was mostly dirty comments resulting in mostly yelling…now however, she seemed calmed and her answers were bland.

She sighed. It was none of her business anyways.

She needed to tell Sesshomaru. It was only right if he knew.

And then she remembered.

Eri.

"Hey Kags!" Eri greeted as she walked into her room. "My god so I am so nervous about tonight."

Sango sat on the bed filing her nails, watching the two girls. Kagome never did have any backbone. She was too kind.

"Hi Eri," Kagome said with a smile.

Eri turned to look at the bed. "Hi…I'm Eri!" She said in a peppy tone. Sango laughed.

"Sango."

Kagome closed the door to her room and walked over to the bed, sitting on it. "So why don't you just have Sesshomaru pick you up here?"

Eri nodded.

"Do you have his cell? I'll call him for you," Kagome said with a genuine smile. Sango caught on, seeing what she was trying to do.

"Oh thanks Kags, here," she said tossing the phone to her.

Sango sat up. "Hey Eri do you mind coming with me to get snacks? We can just chill and stuff 'till your date."

Of course Eri was more than happy to comply. The two girls walked out the room after Sango shot Kagome a smile and wink.

Kagome took a deep breath. She looked through the phonebook until she found his number.

Here goes nothing.

"Hello?"

She took a deep breath.

"Hi Sesshomaru? This is Kagome."

"Why are you calling under Eri's number?" The man asked, his silky voice impassive.

"I needed—I needed to get a hold of you."

"For what reason? Make it quick. I'm busy."

"Sesshomaru, I'm pregnant."

Sango stood against the counter as the popcorn popped. "So tell me about this Sesshomaru guy."

Eri sighed dreamily.

"He's totally hot and somewhat cold but I know deep down he's a sweetheart."

Sango opened her mouth to say something and then the phone rang. She sighed and put it on speaker.

"Kagome?" Kouga's voice asked from the other end.

Sango immediately picked up the phone. "It's Sango."

"Who's Sango?" He growled.

"I was with her at the park when she told you she was—"

She saw Eri staring at her in befuddlement.

"—going to get a dog."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Kouga asked.

Eri's face still held confusion and she was listening intently. Sango couldn't very well just walk out of the room. Eri would suspect something.

"Never mind."

"Can I speak to Kagome?"

"Uh…I don't think she wants to talk to you right now."

Eri burst into Kagome's room to see her on the bed sobbing. "Oh Kagome! I heard everything! I'm so sorry!" she said. Sango came rushing into the room next and took one look at Kagome before enveloping her into a hug.

Kagome looked back at Eri. "E-Everything?" she asked. "And you're not mad?"

"Why would I be? Oh I'm so sorry. You and Kouga were so good together. Sango told me all about the fight you two had. He's so possessive it's ridiculous," Eri said with her hands on her hips.

"Kagome what happened?" Sango asked quietly.

Kagome straightened and sighed. "He hung up."

"That bastard! I'll hurt him I swear! Inuyasha and I will kill him!"

Eri was so out of the loop today. "Kill who? Ooh and isn't Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's brother?"

"Half brother," they both responded simultaneously.

Eri quirked an eyebrow. "Okay then."

Sango pulled out her cell phone and hastily dialed Inuyasha's number. "One sec," she said.

She walked out of the room, leaving Eri and Kagome.

"What was Sango talking about Kagome? Who hung up?"

"No one Eri."

Kagome suddenly found her comforter very interesting. She felt the bed move as Eri sat down next to her. "Kagome, you can tell me. I won't be mad."

"Can we just not talk about?" Kagome asked with a sigh.

Eri nodded. "Okay." She was curious but didn't want to push her friend so complied and slipped a DVD into the player. Both girls settled against the headboard waiting for the commercials to pass, neither uttering a word.

"Inuyasha your dumbass brother hung up on her!" Sango yelled into the phone. She was currently sitting outside of the shrine on one of the steps.

She heard a growl. "Is Kagome alright though? Everything's fine?"

"Yes, yes, she's fine just stressed out."

"It's not like my brother to be so—irresponsible…" Inuyasha responded.

"Has this ever happened before?"

"Didn't you just hear me?" Inuyasha growled. "No, it's never happened before."

"You need to call him Inuyasha," Sango said softly, running a hand through her hair.

"I refuse to talk to that son of a bitch!" He yelled.

"For Kagome."

He sighed, giving up. "Fine," he muttered and then hung up.

"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled into the phone as soon as his brother picked up.

"What is it half-breed?" The apathetic voice asked.

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS FUCKING PREGNANT!"

Silence greeted him and then a growl. "And who do you think you are to talk to me like that? I could easily kick you out on the streets half-breed. Remember that."

"Answer the questions Sesshomaru," Inuyasha snarled.

"It was a mistake."

Inuyasha laughed. "That's funny Sesshomaru. Since when have you been known to make mistakes?"

"I intend on fixing this one."

"Oh?" Inuyasha asked, not happy at all.

"Yes. Goodbye brother."

Inuyasha threw his phone against the wall, watching as it broke in two.

"You girls okay?" Sango asked coming back into the room.

Kagome nodded and Eri smiled. "Of course we're fine."

"Okay…" she muttered unsurely. The atmosphere of the room had suddenly gone austere. "So what you watchin'?" she asked in desperate attempt to strike up conversation.

"Cellular," they both replied simultaneously.

Sango rolled her eyes. "Fun."

"Mhm," Kagome said, her hand resting on her abdomen. Sango caught Kagome's eye and glanced down at her hand.

Kagome automatically put it behind her head just as Eri turned around. "Do you guys think you could help me pick out something to wear too?"

Sango nodded.

Kagome's eyes went wide and she bolted from the bed covering her mouth, running towards the bathroom. Eri looked after her worriedly. "What—"

Before she could finish, Sango ran out of the room, following the same path Kagome had. Eri sat on the bed dumbfounded. "What the…" She walked out of the room to see Kagome hunched over the toilet bowl, Sango holding her hair back in a messy ponytail.

"Oh my god, Kagome are you ok?" Eri asked and then realized that was pretty stupid considering her friend was barfing at the moment.

"She'll be fine Eri, don't worry," Sango assured.

Eri didn't look convinced.

Kagome coughed and brought her hand up, flushing the toilet as she stood up. She wiped her bottom lip, her whole body shaking. Tears were pouring down her cheeks as Sango patted her back reassuringly.

"Shh Kags," she cooed.

Kagome staggered over to the sink to wash her face and hands, Eri's and Sango's hand on her back.

"Are you sick Kagome?" Eri asked.

Sango looked at Kagome who was staring back at her through the mirror. Kagome nodded her head at Sango. Sango sighed.

"If we tell you do you promise not to tell anyone Eri?" Sango asked, rubbing circles on her back.

Eri's eyes widened. "Is she—pregnant?"

Kagome nodded, straightening her back. "Oh my gods…are you serious? Who's the father?"

Kagome winced. "I don't know…" she lied.

"What?" Eri looked at her quizzically. "What do you mean you don't know? Surely you haven't slept with that many guys!"

Kagome giggled, despite her condition. "No…I was drunk and I don't remember…he was gone before I woke up." In truth, Sesshomaru had been lying there the whole time before she left, not opening his eyes once.

"Oh Kags—I'm so sorry," Eri said, enveloping her in a hug.

Sango gave Kagome a sympathetic glance and mouthed, 'When are you going to tell her?'

'I don't know,' Kagome mouthed back.

"How about this one?" Eri asked, holding up the burgundy tank top.

Kagome frowned and made a face of disgust. Eri laughed. "I'll take that as a no."

Sango got up from the bed, an empty soda can in her hands. "I'm gonna go get some more. Anyone want anything?"

They both nodded. "No thanks."

"Okay be right back."

Eri went back to clothes choices. "This one?"

"Hey Eri," Kagome started. Eri glanced over. "Yeah?"

"I talked to Rin and she said to be careful."

"What?" Eri asked, pausing. "Why?"

"She said her father is very good in getting females into bed with him," Kagome said looking down at the sheet.

Eri blushed. "Oh. Well don't worry Kags. I'll be fine."

"Good," Kagome said with a smile.

Sango walked back up to the room, looking very uncomfortable. "Um Kagome? Could you come with me for a sec?"

Kagome cocked her head to the side. "I'll be right back Eri," she said. Eri nodded.

"What is it Sango?"

"There's kinda someone here to see you…" she mumbled, leading her to the living room.

Kagome looked at her suspiciously but didn't say anything. She gasped when she saw who it was that was there to see her.

"You…"

"Hello Kagome."
