Author's Note: Sorry that it's taken me so long to write the new chapter and post it. I'm trying to pack in-between chapters since I'm moving around the end of the month. And I got a lot of shit that I have to pack. So this will probably the last chapter until I get all settled in my new place. Sorry. :( Oh, but before I get this chapter going. I would like to thank my awesome friend Michelle for giving me one of the main ideas for the chapter! Thanks a bunch girly! You're amazing!

Kagome: Awe... what a bummer. But it was nice of Michelle to help Ashton out with this chapter.

Inuyasha: Don't worry Kagome; she did say that she was going to post a new chapter. Let's hope she means it and won't leave this one like she did Together Forever or Forever Apart Part2.

Me: Hey! I resent that Inuyasha! Do you want me to pay Kagome so she'll say "sit"?

Inuyasha: Even if you did pay her she wouldn't do it.

Kagome: Um... Inuyasha... I wouldn't count on me that much.

Inuyasha: What? He looks at me which I so happen to be smiling evilly, Inuyasha then gulps

Me: Well I have Inuyasha a bit scared over here, read the new chapter, I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha... only Faith.

Chapter 7

Old Friends, Better Friendships

Ever since Hojo, Faith, and Kagome decided to forgive and forget, they decided to hang out more. And of course Inuyasha joined in with the fun. They went out every weekend. Bowling, skating, ice skating, drinking, and they even got high every now and again. (It is present times, so what do you expect?) Faith got overly high most of the time and she would get disoriented and Hojo would have to explain who he was, where they were, and who they were with. The first couple of times that Faith had done this Kagome and Inuyasha found the whole situation funny, but after awhile it got old, then annoying.

Tonight was one of those nights. They were in Faith's red convertible, with the top and the windows up, and the buzz finally hit Faith and she completely lost it.

"Whoa, where am I?" Faith said in a surfer type of voice.

"Do we really have to go through this?" Kagome asked Hojo pissed.

Hojo sadly nodded his head and started to tell Faith everything. "We're in your convertible, Faith. We're just outside this city limits." Hojo said calmly, even though he was a bit annoyed with his girlfriend.

"Really? I own a convertible? Wait a minuet," Faith started realizing that she wasn't quite sure who the guy was sitting next to her, or the other people sitting in her car.

"I'm Hojo, your boyfriend. And before you ask, this is Kagome, and he is Inuyasha." Hojo said pointing to each of them when he stated their names.

"Oh, okay. And that was kind of cool. It was like you knew what I was thinking before I even thought it." Faith said laughing to herself, she even snorted.

Kagome hit her head in embarrassment, and Inuyasha busted out laughing. For acting smart 95 of the time, Inuyasha loved it when she was making a fool of herself by smoking too much pot and acting like this.

"Inuyasha, stop it!" Kagome said in an angry whisper nudging Inuyasha in his ribs.

"Ouch, that hurt." Inuyasha said rubbing his ribs.

"Well that's what you get for laughing." Kagome said, once again in her angry whisper.

"Hey, I gotta pee." Inuyasha said grabbing his crotch like he was about to do a pee dance.

"Faith, do you remember how to get home?" Hojo asked her.

"Nope." Faith said like a little kid then giggled to herself like she was funny.

"Okay then, I'm driving. Switch seats with me please." Hojo asked Faith as nicely as he possibly could.

"Okay." Faith said opening her door; she soon fell to the ground. Once she hit she screeched in pain, but got up and laughed it off. "Watch out, the first step is a dozy." Faith said to Hojo while she got into the passenger side of the car while he got into the driver's side. Hojo nodded like it was helpful advice then started the car.

Hojo was too annoyed with Faith that he stayed quiet the complete ride to Faith's house. The only noise that was heard in the car was Inuyasha's and Kagome's whispers and the soft melody coming from the radio. Hojo was glad that he had a key to Faith's apartment, or everyone would have been screwed out of entering Faith's home.

Once inside, Inuyasha ran for the bathroom, still holding his crotch, while Hojo and Kagome helped Faith to the couch.

"Aw... much better." Inuyasha said walking out of the bathroom.

"Come on Inuyasha, let's go home." Kagome said once she saw him in the hallway.

"Okay. Alright you two, you guys better behave since your chaperones are living the building." Inuyasha said with a smirk on his face.

"Ha, ha Inuyasha. Just go ahead and leave already." Hojo told him.

Inuyasha gave Hojo a salute and Kagome and he were on the merry way.

A couple days later

Inuyasha awoke noticing that Kagome wasn't next to him in bed, so he got up, pulled on his boxers, and went looking for her in their house. It's not like there were many places for her to hide, and what there was Inuyasha knew.

Inuyasha walked out to the kitchen first. He smelled the aroma of bacon and sausage cooking so he thought looking there first he was bound to find her. And he did. Kagome was talking on the phone with someone, and he really couldn't tell who.

"Yeah, tonight will be fine... don't worry, I'll go there after breakfast... okay... okay... bye." Kagome hung up the phone and turned around seeing that Inuyasha was standing right there behind her. "Oh, Inuyasha, you scared me." Kagome said placing a hand over her chest.

"Who was on the phone?" Inuyasha asked with one of his eyebrows cocked.

"Oh, it was Faith. She wants us all to get together tonight and smoke some pot. I invited them over here if you don't mind."

"I guess I don't, but I wish that you would have asked me first."

"I know." Kagome said with puppy dog eyes which always made Inuyasha forgive her easily. "Hey, I'm going to go to the store and I'm going to get some food for our munchies later, do you want to come with me?" Kagome asked in the sweetest voice that she could come up with, hoping that it was enough for Inuyasha to say yes.

"Sorry Kagome, but I have things that I have to get done over here if we're going to have the party over here tonight. I would if I didn't have to, but I really need to get this stuff done." Inuyasha said insisting that he had to stay home.

"Okay Inuyasha, if you insist. I will be back soon." Kagome said kissing Inuyasha on his lips. "I love you."

"I love you too." Inuyasha said before he watched Kagome leave for the store. "Okay, she's gone now. So where should my work begin?" Inuyasha thought to himself for a little bit and then headed to the living room to pick up the mess in there.

Kagome walked up and down the aisles gathering chips, cookies, popcorn, pretty much anything that she thought everyone would think of having to cure their munchies. Kagome even picked up a couple frozen pizzas. She had everything that she needed, except for one thing.

Kagome then headed towards the pharmacy part of the store and searched desperately for the one thing that she truly needed a pregnancy test. Kagome and Inuyasha was always careful, he almost always used a condom and Kagome always took her birth control pills, so Kagome really didn't know what she was so worried about. Until she remembered what happened last week. Not only did the condom that they were using break, but Kagome ran out of not only her birth control pills, but also her refills for them. Both Inuyasha and Kagome thought that they were going to be well protected with just a condom that is until it broke. The worst part of the matter was Inuyasha was cumming at the point at which the condom broke, so Kagome was pretty much screwed.

Once Kagome found the pregnancy test that she was looking for she headed to the checkout so she could pay for all the shit she was getting and go home.

Once Kagome arrived back home, Inuyasha helped Kagome unload and unpack all of the groceries, and before Kagome could get the pregnancy test out of the bag she was unpacking, Inuyasha unpacked instead.

"What is this?" Inuyasha asked Kagome holding the test in his hand.

"Oh... that... It's a pregnancy test sweetie."

"I know what it is. What is it for is more of the question that I'm looking for an answer to."

"Oh, okay." Kagome said with a shaky voice. "Do you remember last week when we had sex even though I didn't have any more birth control pills? That we thought we would be perfectly fine with just a condom?" Inuyasha nodded his head so Kagome continued. "Well, since the condom broke I thought that I could have gotten pregnant."

"Well, you know if you ran out like two days before the condom broke then you should be fine. But if you ran out way before that then yeah, you might be pregnant. Are you late?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Am I what?" Kagome asked not believing what she was hearing.

"Are you late? You know, are you late for having your period?"

"Yeah, I knew what you meant; I just couldn't believe that you asked me that question. And to answer it, yeah, I am late, by a week and a half."

"Well go to the bathroom and take the test then."

"I don't want to take it tonight. I want to get high for one last time before I find out."

"Kagome, what's more important to you? Getting high or having a healthy baby."

"Having a healthy baby." Kagome said in a disappointed voice.

"Okay then. I'll finish unpacking so you can take it."

"Okay, I'll be back in about five minuets."

Kagome went to the bathroom and opened the pregnancy test box so she could read the instructions. "Okay, well that's not too hard." Kagome thought to herself after she was done reading the directions. "So all I really have to do is just pee on the little pad like strip, put it on a flat surface, and wait three minuets for a response. Seems easy." So Kagome got herself ready to take it and she found it rather hard to pee. "Come on stupid! I have to pee on this thing for ten seconds!" Kagome shouted to herself. "Maybe if I tried to relax." So Kagome tried to not think about peeing on the pregnancy test, that she was just going to pee normally, and it seemed to help.

"Shoot, I didn't pee for ten seconds, but I think it should be enough anyways." Kagome said taking the test out from under her and setting it on top of the toilet. She then flushed it and washed her hands. Kagome then started to pace back and forth in the bathroom, until she decided to sit on the toilet and wait for the response. She would look at the bathroom clock, then to the test, then back to clock, and back to the test. This lasted for several seconds, which felt like minuets to Kagome, until the test finally showed the result. "Oh... my... God... I'm pregnant."

Kagome left the bathroom and returned to the kitchen, where Inuyasha greeted her with a "well?".

"Um..." Kagome began. "The test says that I'm pregnant." Kagome gulped afraid of what Inuyasha's reaction might be.

"That's great!" Inuyasha said wrapping his arms around her and twirling her about the kitchen.

"You really think so?" Kagome asked with a small smile on her face.

"Yeah, I really do. Now what do you want to do about the party? Do you want to cancel it or do you want to have it anyways?" Inuyasha asked the now blushing Kagome.

"Let's still have it. Once they get here they can decide whether or not they want to smoke it. It also gives me a great opportunity to tell them the news."

Once Hojo and Faith arrived, Faith was already getting into her high. Kagome and Inuyasha both knew that she must have gotten high before they left, so Kagome thought that this would be a perfect chance to tell them about the news. Hojo anyway.

Hojo congratulated the two of them and told them flat out that he wasn't in the mood to smoke pot tonight because of the way Faith was acting. Kagome nodded her head in understanding and showed Hojo and Faith to the couch.

Faith had a horrible time once she entered her high. She didn't remember Hojo at all, but somehow she remembered everyone else, including herself.

When Kagome made the observation she thought to herself, "How odd. I wonder why she's acting this way. Maybe she tried out a different kind of weed tonight."

"Um, Kagome, can you help me out over here?" Hojo asked in-between the hits and punches Faith was giving him.

"What the fuck! Faith, stop!" Kagome said hoping that her friend would listen to her.

Faith turned towards Kagome where Hojo found this to be the perfect opportunity to get away from his psycho girlfriend. He was now on the hunt to find Inuyasha. Kagome tried to calm Faith down, this way he wouldn't be interrupted by more hitting and punching from his girlfriend.

"Inuyasha, I need your help." Hojo told Inuyasha once he found him in the kitchen.

"What's wrong man?" Inuyasha asked him seeing the concern in Hojo's face and hearing the fear in his voice.

"It's Faith; she's completely lost it this time. She knows who you and Kagome are, but she has no idea who I am and she's attacking me because of it."

"Okay, I have an idea. We'll lock her in my bathroom until she calms down."

"Do you think that it will honestly work?"

"Yeah, especially since Sesshomaru and I installed the bathroom door knob wrong and it locks from the outside and not the inside."

"Why didn't you ever fix it?" Hojo asked curious.

"I was too lazy. But does that really matter? At least my idea will work."

"Good point."

The two of them then left the kitchen headed for the living room, to put Inuyasha's idea into action. They picked up Faith, ignoring Kagome's look of shock and headed to the bathroom so they could lock Faith in there. Once there, they threw her inside and locked the door. They gave each other a high-five then headed back to the living room.

"What the hell was that for? I just got Faith to remember everything and who Hojo was and then you throw her into the bathroom right when she was going to apologize."

"Oh shit." Came the words from Hojo's mouth. "I better go get her and apologize. Um... thanks for the party Kagome, but as soon as I rescue Faith from your bathroom I think we're going to head home."

"Okay then, see you next weekend?" Kagome asked him.

"Sounds like a plan"

Kagome smiled, then Hojo got his girlfriend out of the bathroom and the two of them left.

"Weird night wasn't it?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah, I'd say so."

Kagome: Well thanks Ashton, like I really want to be pregnant in yet another one of your fanfics.

Inuyasha: You never know, it could be fun.

Kagome: It wasn't even fun for me the first two times, and now a third?!?

Me: Oh toughen up Kagome, things can't possibly be too bad.
