A/N: What's up!!! Don't call it a comeback. I just had a little time on my hands since I'm on Thanksgiving break. I figured I'd give you guys (and myself, I do love writing stories) the gift of a new chapter. Enjoy!!!! Thank you so much for waiting, I really appreciate your patience.
Chapter Six: It Could Always Be Worse
Kagome sadly stared out the bedroom window of the penthouse. She wore navy blue pajamas compliments of the hotel. She wrapped the huge comforter around her body. Although it wasn't really cold in the hotel
She officially decided Las Vegas was the epitome of pure evil. It seemed she wasn't the only one that was tricked by the sparkling city. She saw people being thrown out of clubs after what was supposedly the best night of their life. They stumbled around and occasionally fell or vomited. Kagome merely shook her head. At least, she was lucky enough to be in a nice hotel room rather than the cruel streets. She couldn't wait to return to her country let alone her home.
She wanted to be in the comforts of her house. Smelling her mom make an extravagant Monday morning breakfast. Eating some Okayu with her little brother while her cat sat near the table drinking milk. She and Souta would whisper to each other about whatever kooky story her grandfather was chattering on about. Her mother would be sitting at the head of the tables, being the matriarch that she was, calmly looking on her family. She missed those days although she did love her newly sprung freedom which she gained when she went to college in Tokyo.
Kagome was suddenly snapped out her thoughts when she felt a presence behind her. She turned around to see Sesshomaru staring back at her. They stared at each other for a very long time. He looked different to her. The swagger about him was still there. The coldness was prevalent. He was still the most handsome man she'd ever known. But something was still different. He seemed more familiar.
Kagome quickly reprimanded herself. Of course he seemed more familiar as of yesterday, he was her husband and much more importantly, her first.
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome. He no longer saw a enrapturing vixen but a vulnerable 19 year old girl. She didn't look sophisticated and sexy but fresh and innocent. Ah, innocent, that was something she wasn't suppose to be after last night yet it was there. Her big blue doe eyes stared at him with a tinge of sadness. Her chocolate brown hair had returned to its naturally wavy state and was all over the place. She looked sweet, he realized to his dismay. He almost felt bad what he was about to do...almost.
"Yes, Sesshomaru?" she asked quietly.
Sesshomaru gave no reply but tossed something at her. Kagome let go of the comforter to catch it. Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru had already left the room. She returned her gaze back what Sesshomaru gave her. Kagome's eyes widen at what she saw. A pregnancy test. Suddenly it donned on her, she never saw a condom or a wrapper when she woke up that morning. Kagome held in a sob and raced to the bathroom.
Aiko had finished rinsing the dishes and setting them in the dishwasher. Since her father cooked dinner and her son, Souta, set and cleared the table, she volunteered to do the dishes.
She walked into the living room to see her father looking at the nighttime soaps grumbling something along the lines of "doesn't she know the real Ryu is in a coma". She saw Souta on his laptop once more. She sat next to Grandpa and inquired about what he was watching.
She assumed he was on one of those social sites where people made friends. The only missing piece to the puzzle was Kagome. She missed her grown daughter. Aiko was happy and disheartened when Kagome told her she wanted to leave their small town and go to Tokyo for college. She wanted her eldest daughter to grow and be independent but she hated the fact that her little girl wasn't running down the steps to the kitchen to grab a Poptart or an apple, or sneaking into Aiko's room late at night and asking her for advice. She couldn't wait for Kagome to come back from the big city during break. Until then, she would enjoy the company of the rest of her family even more.
Souta was on Facebook viewing Hitomi's, his classmate and secret crush, wall. He was scoping out his competition and looking at pictures of her. She was so pretty no wonder she had so many guy friends. He wished he could somehow impress her and get him to like her. Suddenly, Yoon had posted something on her wall. It was a Youtube clip and Yoon had added the comment: 'LMAO when I saw this. Some people are just so stupid'. Souta saw this as his chance to win Yoon's heart. Maybe if he found out what made her laugh, he could get closer to her.
Souta clicked the link. There appeared a woman and a man at the altar. The man said nothing but his eyes were half-closed and he held a bottle with a name Souta couldn't pronounce. The woman was stumbling around so much the camera couldn't focus on her face. Finally the man told the woman to be still. When she finally stood still, Souta finally recognized her.
"Kagome?" Souta shouted in disbelief. Grandpa and his mom looked at him with worried glances.
"Souta is there something wrong?" Aiko asked raising from her seat. Souta immediately closed his laptop.
"No, nothing's wrong. Everything's fine," Souta said hastily. He became bright red in the face which told his mother he was lying. Aiko placed her hands on her hips.
"Souta, you are going to tell what's going on this instant!" Aiko said sternly.
"I think it would be better if I showed you." With a sigh, Souta opened his laptop and resumed the video.
Aiko watched her daughter jump up and down saying "I'm getting married" in a sing-songy voice then drunkenly slur a 'I do'. She heard a loud screaming at first she thought it was coming from the video but realized it was her own voice doing the screaming.
Remembering her misdeeds of the night before, Kagome took a shower; it lasted until the hot water ran out. She scrubbed her skin until was red and raw and washed her hair four times. The constant washing made her feel a little better but in the end, she still felt dirty on the inside. She walked over to the bathroom sink and saw the test laying there. Kagome had taken the test before she had showered and it was long overdue to check the results. She took a deep breath. She grabbed the test........
A/N: Hmm, I wonder what gonna happen....well, I know what's going to happen, but I bet you're wondering what's going to happen!!! LOL. Thank you gor reading and Please Review.
