36- The Reaction and Back to School

Inuyasha's face portrayed exactly how he felt: Stunned. He was shocked into silence by the information Kagome had just told him about. He continued to stand in front of her, mouth wide open, looking quite surprised as she sobbed on her bed. "Well," he managed to get out, "um…are you sure?"

Kagome nodded weakly, "Yes. The pregnancy test came up positive. I'm pregnant." She covered her face with her hands, "I don't know who's it is! It could be yours and it could be…Naraku's…" she said that name with difficulty.

Inuyasha instantly went forward and seized her into a warm and loving embrace. "No," he said firmly, "it's not his. It's ours. Don't you even think about him, all right?" He cupped her chin in his hand and lifted her face up to look him in the eyes. She looked so sad and confused at the same time. It made him feel hurt, knowing that she was aching inside. "It's ours. And take your time with this. You don't have to make any decisions right now."

He saw more tears brim at her eyes. "I-I…I don't know what to do first. Should I call mom? Or should I wait?"

He pulled her closer to him and said, "Wait for right now. You can tell her tomorrow afternoon. Right now, you should rest and get ready for school tomorrow."

"Yeah." She agreed, melting into his embrace. She felt so safe there, knowing that Inuyasha wouldn't let anything harm her.

Inuyasha had no idea how long they stayed like that, but he did not want to move and he was almost certain that Kagome didn't either. He just held her tightly, those two words repeating in his head; I'm Pregnant, I'm Pregnant, I'm Pregnant.

Impetuously, Kagome said, her voice shaking terribly, "I think…I think I want to keep it."

He felt his heart skip a beat, but he did not act surprised. "You sure? I don't care. I'm going by whatever you want."

"I don't know, Inuyasha," she murmured. "I guess I'll just have to wait."

Inuyasha smiled and said, the sincerity in his voice evident, "Take your time. You don't have to decide right now." He tilted her face up toward his and kissed her lips gently. She returned it, wrapping her arms around his neck. He pulled away and said, his breathing irregular, "You need some sleep. Come on and get ready for school."

She nodded and got up and got her things together and took a shower while Inuyasha waited in her bedroom, already changed into the clothes he was going to sleep in. He still couldn't quite believe what he had heard. Kagome was pregnant. His Kagome was pregnant.

After a few minutes, Kagome emerged from the bathroom and went to her bedroom, cut the light out, and crawled into bed beside of Inuyasha. He wrapped his muscular arms around her waist and asked quietly in her ear, "You all right?"

He felt her nod her head against him. "Yes, I'm fine. A little shocked, but fine."

He tightened his grip on her. "Don't worry. Everything is gonna be all right. I promise."

Kagome sighed in contentment, relaxing in his embrace. She knew that nothing would hurt her and she knew that she was loved and appreciated. He made her feel special and wanted. She knew that no matter what she did or what she said, Inuyasha would be there for her, by her side, ready to help her in any way possible.

Yawning, she closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.

"Hey Kagome," Sango said as Kagome and Inuyasha walked up to greet her right in front of the school entrance. Miroku was with Sango as well, his arm around his girlfriend's waist protectively. "How's it going?"

Kagome glanced up at Inuyasha, who shot her a look that said, 'I think you should wait a while before you tell them.'

Kagome looked back at Sango and smiled, "Everything is fine. How about with you and Miroku?"

"Everything is great," Sango answered truthfully. "But homework is killer on the brain."

Everyone laughed at her sentence and made their way into the school. Stopping at her locker, Kagome craned her neck, twisting the numbers into her lock until she heard a click and smiled in satisfaction before pulling it open and grabbing her books needed for class. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha did the same and slammed their locker doors shut and heading for their homerooms.

Inuyasha and Kagome sat next to each other, whispering softly about the information Kagome had provided Inuyasha with the night before. "I still can't believe it." Inuyasha said, his voice distant.

"I know," Kagome replied, watching someone come into the room and walk past them. "I'm a little scared now."

He covered her hand with his, which was supposed to be a comforting move, but Kagome was still nervous. "Don't be," he said. "I'm here and I always will be. I won't leave you like all of these other bastards out there that leave their pregnant girlfriends. I'll back you up on what you decide. I'll help you, no matter what."

Kagome looked down and said, her voice hardly audible above all of the school bustling. "That's not all that I'm scared of."

Inuyasha looked befuddled. "Huh? What else is bothering you?"

"Who is the baby's father?" She asked, the tears starting to form. "If it is Naraku, I don't know what'd I do. I want it to be yours! Not his…Oh God, not his…" She trembled visibly and Inuyasha seized her in a tight embrace.

"Hey, it's all right. I promise." Inuyasha whispered, even though he was not sure. But he had confidence. He rocked her back and forth until she calmed a little and pulled away from his chest. He grasped her chin and lifted her head up so she was facing him. "Don't think about it at all, ok? It's ours, and it won't have anything to do with him."

Kagome took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm sorry. I've been…shaky ever since I found out."

Inuyasha laughed a little. "Me, too. Don't worry about it for now. We'll handle it after school."

Kagome looked panicked. "Oh, that's right! I have to tell my mom! Oh, no!"

"Kagome…" Inuyasha said softly.

"What if she gets angry with me?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha repeated, a little louder.

"Or worse, what if she has a heart attack!" Kagome nearly fainted at the thought.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha raised his voice, causing her to jump and turn around to look at him innocently.

She smiled, "Sorry."

Inuyasha grinned. He couldn't stay mad at her for long. "Don't panic, all right? She'll understand. Trust me. I know your mom. And you do, too. Now it's time for class. See you in our last class." Immediately after he said that, the bell rung shrilly and everyone scattered about, heading for class.

Kagome yawned as she headed for the bathroom. She had one more class to go before lunchtime and she decided to take a bathroom break to try and help pass the time. Glancing at her watch, she seen that she still had over half and hour left.

I wish school would hurry up and be over so I can tell mom and get it over with. Plus, I get to spend some time with Inuyasha.

She came closer to the bathroom and was about to run toward it when she heard a familiar, sickening voice behind her: "Well, Kagome, how have you been lately?"

Gasping, she turned and seen Naraku, only a few feet away, grinning at her somewhat seductively, but also psychotically. "W-what do you want?" She tried to sound aggressive, but only sounded as if she were pleading.

"I warned you." He said in that calm, hateful voice. "I warned you of the consequences."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kagome asked. But deep down, she had a feeling that she knew.

"I warned you what would happen if you told anyone what I did." He smirked evilly. "You did not listen. Now you'll suffer the consequences of your actions."

Kagome turned and ran, knowing that Naraku had lunged for her. But she didn't notice the 'wet floor' sign and fell on the slick tile floor hard, twisting her ankle and probably cracking a rib. Pain shot up through it, causing her to yelp. She also fell on her ribs, which were still sore from when Naraku had raped her. She winced and laid on the floor, not wanting to get up due to pain and fear.

She turned a looked and seen Naraku glancing around at the classroom doors, which had no windows on them. Then he turned toward her and said: "Consider yourself lucky…for now. But you are not safe, and neither are your friends and family. I will keep my word." Then he turned and left, disappearing around the corner.

Trying to get up, she stood on both feet, only to collapse. She knew that her right ankle was either sprung or broken. She was in terrible pain, physically and mentally. Her ribs were probably cracked this time since she had hit the floor so hard and fast. She lie there for a moment before trying once again, tremendous pain shooting throughout her ribs. She stood up for a second before her ankle gave out again.

As she lie there, the words from Naraku's promise from a while back rung in her ears over and over: "If you tell anyone, I'll kill everyone close to you."

Tears fell down her cheeks as she continued to think about it, as she lie, helpless, on the wet, cold floor.

Inuyasha was headed for the cafeteria, when Sango and Miroku bumped into him. "Oh, I'm so glad we found you!" Sango exclaimed, out of breath.

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her curiously. "Where's Kagome?"

"That's what we wanted to tell you!" Sango said.

"Something happened earlier and Kagome got hurt. She's in the nurse's office right now." Miroku informed him. "I think it might have been Naraku again."

Without warning or a second thought, Inuyasha turned and raced off toward the nurse's office. He did not care about getting anything to eat, even though he was starving. All that mattered was Kagome…
