Happy Halloween!
And a pleasant Samhain!
May your treats be sweet and your tricks be wicked. ^.~
CupOfTea: lst review! Thank you a hundred times lol.
RoseFalls: thank you once again for your review. Lol glad to hear you like my Kouga, I hope you continue to like him as I work out his personality a bit more (cheesy, dominating male ect. lol)
Adam: yay. No shippo yet, but they will find out kagome is pregnant of the end of this week, promise. I know, I'm so sorry about the grammar, I'm not good with it normally but last chapter was a rush job to boot.
NiceStories: Thank you, I wanted them in chara so far so I could try slowly making them mature. I get what you mean about inuyasha and well, but I'm not sure how to convey all that and I don't really think he would care that much. He's a wonderer, he didn't really have a home before kagome, and as long as he has ramen, I think he'd be happy loll.
But true enofe, I did kind of gloss over the reaction to marriage. I was trying to make it seem as if they had forgotten about it, shrugging it off as crazy grandfatherness and that it really wouldn't come to pass. I will try and work on those things, thank you.
Alright were on chapter 6 = 6,000 words
+ 100 for cupoftea's review! + 100 for Adam. + 100 NiceStories + 100 RoseFalls =400

Shippo's Wish
Mop Buckets.
Chapter.6
"Off! Inuyasha Get off Me!" kagome roared, dragging out his name into one long guttural growl. Using both her arms and her legs kagome flung inuyasha off of her, sending him rolling into the opposite wall. Inuyasha growled back at her as he pushed himself off the floor.
"What was that for wench? You didn't have to yell so much." inuyasha grumbled, rubbing his poor abused ears that were still ringing from all her shouting. He flopped down on her bed, staying out of her way as she busied around the room, rolling onto his stomach, inuyasha made himself comfortable as he watched kagome.
After several minutes inuyasha noticed something odd about kagome's outfit, as he contemplated his options a sly smirk crept a crossed his face. Inuyasha's more mischievous side took over as kagome bent over her desk trying to retrieve a slip of paper that had gotten stuck between the desk and the wall.
"Hey kagome" inuyasha called in a sing-songy voice as he crept up behind her. The palm of inuyasha's hand brushed agents the side of kagome's thigh, spreading his hand a crossed the warm flesh, trailing his now harmless human nail upwards he felt for her silky waist band of her panties. A wicked grin split a crossed inuyasha's face from ear to ear as he felt the silky marital underneath his fingertips. Hooking the elastic with his fingers inuyasha tugged and then quickly released the marital to snap back into place agent kagome's hip, making her yelp.
"You forgot your skirt." Inuyasha said before breaking into a bout of mehninical laughter as he ran from kagome's room singing. "I see London I see France I see kagome's under pants!"
Kagome's shirk of pure outrage could be felt down to the foundation of the shrine. Fallowing inuyasha out the door were several air born objects of varying weight, some striking true before the door was slammed shut and locked fallowed by the sound of cursing.
A little while later kagome was calmly drinking her tea at the kitchen table, while a sullen inuyasha sat a crossed from her nursing lump forming on his head. Sota came into the room after a moment and gazed at inuyasha curiously.
"Hey inuyasha, what happened to your head?" Sota asked while fixing himself some toast for breakfast.
"Your sister." Inuyasha grumped, shoot one lance glare in kagome's direction, before he over at sota. "she can't take a joke."
"I can too, I just don't find underwear all that funny" kagome snapped shooting them booth a dark glare.
Sota snickered, turning to inuyasha he asked. "Did you sing the London and France song to her?"
Inuyasha nodded as he tried to adjust the bag ice on his head to where the cold water wouldn't drip onto his noise.
"You're the one who taught him that?" kagome asked accusingly as she towered over her younger brother. Sota burst into laughter as he took off running for the door way, with an angry shriek kagome took chase tearing around the corner after him.
Kagome's mother blinked as a small blur darted past her in the hallway, assuming it was her son she wondered what he was running around for. She found her answer quickly as her daughter came running by next, she signed shaking her head at the pair of them. Continuing into the kitchen, she was met with a brooding inuyasha. Before she could even sit down Sota and kagome came racing by again.
"Kagome, Sota, you're going to be late for school." She called after them.
"Not again!" kagome said, doubling back to grab inuyasha and their school bags, she kissed her mother's cheek and then they were out the door.
As her feet finally touched solid ground again, kagome gave a wobbly sound of distress. She had promised yesterday if inuyasha got dressed without a fight, they would go to school his way, and not by train. Normally she enjoyed riding on his back, but for today it made her queasy. Making her way over to the edge of the roof, kagome sat down agents the cool metal railing hoping the breeze would help calm her tummy.
Inuyasha watched as kagome staggered away from him, she had looked rather green after he'd set her down. Worried inuyasha fallowed her, brushing her hair a side inuyasha tried to get a good look at her but her eyes were closed.
"Kagome? Kagome you're not sick are you?" inuyasha asked leaning down to press his forehead agents hers. She didn't feel hot to inuyasha, but girls were a wired bunch, who knew what could be wrong with one of them. Burying his face in the crook of her neck inuyasha sniffed of her. Still she didn't smell sick to him, she smelled like kagome, flowers and, inuyasha train of thought stalled as he picked up a different note in her sent. It wasn't sickness, her sent was slightly off. She smelled like she always did, but more. Inuyasha checked again, but try as he might, he couldn't place the difference in her sent.
"I'm fine inuyasha, just a little nausea." Kagome said surprising inuyasha who had gotten lost in his own wondering thoughts. Nodding his head he stood, helping kagome to her feet as well.
"You don't feel like fever, but your sent-" Inuyasha began as they made their way to the stair well, only to be cut off by the aprence of a teacher on hall patrol.
"What are you two doing up here? The roof is off limits to students. Detention for the both of you, see Mr. Myoto after class today." The teacher reprimanded while walking them all the way to their class, least they get into more trouble.
Kagome groaned it was just their luck, detention for two days in a row. Kagome slumped into her chair, while inuyasha fallowed in suit, his mind still stuck on the change in kagome's sent. They nearly missed the teacher's announcement, so stuck in their own thoughts were they.
"Well class I have some good news and some bad news." The teacher announced as class settled down, even though she had claimed to have some bad new she seemed rather happy about it all as she all but bounced as she walked.
"The bad news is that I will not be here after winter brake, you all have another teacher take over for the remainder of the year. The good news is" the teacher paused, she was nearly grinning ear from ear as she prepared to deliver the good news "I'm going to have a baby!"
The class broke into cheering, it seemed the whole class was almost as excited about the news as the teacher was. Weather they were cheering for the baby or having a different teacher, inuyasha wasn't sure as to witch. The teacher then began to walk up and down the rows of students showing them the black and white sonagram. It was as the teacher walked past inuyasha, that he caught her sent. Inuyasha's eyes widen in shock as he recognized the same odd sent he smelled from kagome, he could also smell coming off of the teacher. Inuyasha sniffed again just to be sure of the teachers sent, his nose wasn't wrong.
Inuyasha swallowed hard, his eyes darted over to were kagome stood, watching her as she cooed over the blurry photo along with the other female classmates of theirs. Shaking his head vigorously, inuyasha denied the knowledge. It just wasn't possible, there's no way she could be, inuyasha thought to himself. Maybe he had mistaken kagome's sent this morning. During lunch today, inuyasha firmly desisted, he would sniff around and check kagome's sent again.
Inuyasha watched the clock with such intensity, kagome was surprised it hadn't burst into flames yet. When the lunch bell finally did ring, kagome laughed nearly falling out of her seat as inuyasha jumped and did fall out of his seat, the sudden ringing of the bell jarring him out of his trance. Inuyasha shot kagome a dirty look after he righted himself. Kagome was still laughing as inuyasha began to herd her outdoors for lunch.
"You be really hungry huh inuyasha" kagome asked merrily as they sat down beneath the same tree they had eaten under the day before. Digging around in her over large bag, kagome pulled out their lunch.
"Yea" inuyasha mumbled taking the food she offered distractedly, his mind for once on more urgent matters then his stomach. Inuyasha was growing frustrated with the changing wind, as hard as he tried he couldn't get a good sniff of kagome, and the wind was constantly blowing in the wrong direction.
Inuyasha had been steadily inching closer and closer to kagome trying to pick out the sent he had picked up on this morning. All his attempts were dashed when Yuri, Amy and Erika suddenly descended on them.
"Kagome! Kagome you have to try this stuff!" Erika said dangling a tiny pink bottle in front of kagome's face.
"It smells soo good" Amy cooed dreamily.
"Here! Smell" Yuri said excitedly grabbing the bottle form Erika, she doused kagome with a fine mist of the sweet smelling perfume.
Inuyasha gagged, the strong sent seeing him reeling away. Inuyasha jumped into a nearby tree to escape from the overpowering perfume.
"Poor inuyasha, he must have berthed to much of it in" kagome thought aloud as she watched him disappear into the branches of the tree. Turning back to her friends, she had to agree the perfume was quite nice, but then again she didn't have inuyasha's sense of smell either.
Inuyasha was still complaining about the perfume on kagome as they headed for Mr. Myoto's office for their dentition.
"Inuyasha would you give it a rest?" kagome snapped, holding the door to Mr. myoto's office open.
"It sticks!" inuyasha argued his hand covering his noise lest he breathe more of it in. kagome sighed angrily, he was being so childish.
"Ah you two again, heard found you on the roof." Mr. Myoto said cutting off any further argument between the two as he suddenly appeared from behind his large desk. "Since I already have bunch of trouble makers picking up the school grounds, I have a different task for the pair of you today. I need room 202, cleaned out, and you two are going to do it for me. The furniture can be put in room 210 and cleaning supply are under the stairs. When the room is clean your free to go."
Kagome bowed respectfully before leaving with inuyasha sulking behind her. He still didn't get why they had to stay after school when everyone else got to go home, kagome's school made no sense. Inuyasha was lost in his own thoughts, not relishing kagome had stopped to fill up a bucket of water, he continued walking aimlessly down the hallway.
Kagome having been equally lost in her own thoughts as she filled up the bucket, she didn't notise as inuyasha continued down the hallway and out of sight. Kagome was jarred out of her musing as warm male body suddenly stole up behind nearly causing her to drop the almost full bucket.
"guess who, baby?" said a playful male voices near kagome's ear, the words tickling a crossed kagome's skin, her ability to see suddenly gone as large male hands covered her eyes.
Kagome froze in the unfamiliar arms, unsure what to do, if it was a friend from class she didn't want to hurt them but she was trapped between the sink and him. She had been captured in similar ways by so many of inuyasha and her enemy's that kagome couldn't stop the fear from seeping into her. Inuyasha's name spilled from her lips as her attempt to wiggle free failed.
"Aww baby, you guessed wrong." Kota said, is tone crestfallen. Spinning her to face him Kota regained his normal cheerfulness as he grinned down at her, oblivious to her nervousness. Kagome sighed relishing then that it had only been Kota, she should have guessed as much.
Kagome was about to ask Kota if he'd let her go but before the sound lift her tongue there came an odd sound from farther down the hallway and it was drawling closer. Snapping her mouth closed, lest it be a wild canine that had somehow managed to get inside the school and she draw its attention to them by speaking. Biting her lip nervously kagome tried to peer around Kota, but he held her too close for her to be able to see around his broad shoulders. All she could do was hope whatever was making that sound wasn't hungry.
Inuyasha's blood was pounding in his ears as he raced through the hallways. Kagome shout for him had his demon blood raging for relies, and inuyasha was having trouble maintaining dominance over his demon blood. His demon blood sought to tear apart whatever had spooked kagome, and the half-demon inuyasha couldn't help but agree. Kagome was his to protect. As he rounded the last Conner, inuyasha spotted kagome pinned near the sink, half obscured by that annoying Kota. The rumbling in inuyasha's chest turned into a full blown growl as his demon side howled, he would tear that mangy wolf remake into so many bits that kouga would never be reborn again.
Kota finally sensing some bit of danger, turned to face down the hallway as inuyasha approached. As he turned kagome caught a flash of silver, recognizing the color for inuyasha hair. She managed tear herself free of Kota, pushing away from the sink she ran down the hallway to inuyasha. She wasn't sure why she ran, but she felt as if she must and she had learned over the years to trust in instinct. She did not feel the change in inuyasha till she was nearly on top of him, and then it was too late for her to stop, her momentum was too great.
Kagome yelped as inuyasha suddenly shot forward, his arms surrounding her, nearly crushing the air out of her as he held her tightly too him. Burying his face into her neck, he breathed deeply of her sent, seeking comfort of knowing she was alright. Only to inhale in a lug full of that awful perfume, inuyasha reared backwards holding kagome now at arm's length as he coughed and sneezed.
Kagome was surprised to see amber eyes glaring at her when he jerked back. She was sure she had felt his demonic powers in control just a second ago, but she must have been mistaken. Yes, that was it. Just a trick of her mind, kagome thought to herself, he's not even wounded so there is no reason for his demon side to come out.
"You need a bath." Inuyasha managed to growl out between sneezes.
"Har har funny." Kagome said giving inuyasha a dirty look before retrieving the almost forgotten mop bucket. "We still have to clean the class room, come on."
Kagome and inuyasha headed for the class room together, leaving a forgotten Kota behind. Once they reached the room, kagome was glad to see it wasn't as bad as she had feared. The class room was fairly empty, there were a few large bits of furniture that would have to be moved, but otherwise it was just a dusty room. It would take no time at all. Kagome started to work on the dusting, leaving moving things to inuyasha, which he took care of with ease. Carrying the desk two at a time, the showoff, kagome thought with a small smile.
Kagome stepped back using the mop as a prop to lean on as she admired their work. They worked well together. The room was empty and it was so clean that it fairly sparkled.
"Can we go home now? I'm hungry" inuyasha whined jutting is lower lip out in classic pouting form. Kagome giggled giving a nod of her head she went to retrieve the rest of their cleaning supply, while inuyasha tossed the dirty water out of the open window.
"Careful inuyasha, someone could have been standing under that window" kagome warned
"Naw, nobody there.' Inuyasha replied hiding his devious smirk from kagome as he shut the window. So Kota had been hanging around school still, he'd go home for sure now that he'd had dirty mop water poured on his head, inuyasha thought with a smirk.
It was later that night after diner, while inuyasha and kagome were practicing for the play together that Grandpa Higurashi decided it would be a good time to remind them of his decree. At first he stood in the door way silently waiting for them to acknowledge his presence, but kagome and inuyasha were too wrapped up in their lines to notice. He then cleared his throat discreetly in an attempt to gain their attention, yet still he was ignored. Becoming frustrated grandpa stomped into the room, making sure his feet stomped loudly on the ground. Kagome and inuyasha glanced up at him wonder what all the commotion was for while he stood there glowering at them.
"Are you two finished yet?" grandpa asked crossly, not waiting for a reply he continued. "If you too could spare the time away from your theatrics, there is something we need to talk about that I think the two of you have forgotten." Holding up his hand to silence their comments about shrine duties, grandpa shook his head relising that they had indeed forgotten. "I'm not talking about the shrine im talking about the two of you!"
"You've had a week inuyasha, and now you're down to the last 2 days. If you don't ask me by thanks giving I swear I'll exercise you myself" grandfather threatened shaking his scrawny fist at inuyasha.
"Ask what?" inuyasha asked dumfounded. Scratching the top of his head inuyasha tried to recall just what kagome's grandpa might be going on about, but for the life of him, inuyasha just could not think of a thing.
Grandpa made a sound half way between a growl and a shriek as he took his cane and began to beat inuyasha apon the head with it. "Listen up boy, this is the last time I'm warning you. You are to ask me, ME! For kagome's hand and you are going to ask me before the turkey is cut on thanks giving. I don't care if you ask me tomorrow at dawn or if you ask me as we sit down for thanks giving diner, but you will ask me properly."
"What do I need kagome's hand for? I have two of my own." inuyasha asked, still so confused. Grandpa wasn't making a bit of sense to inuyasha.
"To MARRY HER!" grandpa answered with a roar and another few licks of his cane to inuyasha's head, hoping one of the hits to his head would knock some sense lose. Grandpa was half way to storming out of the room when he remembered something else.
"Ah yes and kagome your mother wants you to come see here, something about planning the wedding, colors and all that." Her grandpa said much more pleasantly. With one last sharp look in inuyasha direction, grandpa left the room.
"I didn't think grandpa was serious…" kagome mumbled aloud in shock. Her mind still reeling, she tried to sort throw her own thoughts on the subject. Unbeknown to kagome, inuyasha was having his own internal battle as well all though his outer appearance was utterly still, his mind raced.
Inuyasha swallowed hard, his mind whirled. His thoughts were jumbled, he knew from experience that forced marriages were bad, his own father had been forced into his first marriage with sesshomaru's mother and just look at what it had wrought. Inuyasha didn't look forward to that kind of mess, he didn't know how kagome felt about him. Sure she treated him like a friend but did she love him? She had sure been mad the first time her grandfather had told them to marry, and that didn't make inuyasha feel all that confident. Inuyasha wasn't sure how marriage worked in kagome's time but if it was anything like what he'd seen of marriages from his time, it maybe wouldn't be that hard. He already treated her as a pack mate by hunting for her, protecting her and the, and she treated him much the same, caring for his wounds and fixing his meals, always looking for him to protect her. They always slept close by, they've even fallen asleep together, inuyasha remembered with a light blush covering his cheeks. Even most demons assumed she was his already since he's sent was always on her.
Inuyasha's breathe caught in his chest as he remembered another sent from this morning. He hadn't been able to get a sniff of it since due to the perfume that kagome had been doused with. But kagome's sent and the scent of the pregnant teacher had smelled frightingly similar. But inuyasha couldn't figure out why kagome would smell like that, or how. Inuyasha was sure she hadn't smelt like that while they were in the past, and kagome had been there for two months straight while they had hunted down nuraku for the final time. He would have smelt it, if not him, someone else would have defiantly mentioned it. Shippo had monitored kagome's sent so whenever it was her time of the month, shippo had made sure to behave lest she take her ire out on him like she always did with inuyasha. So it had to have after their last fight with nuraku, but when? Kagome had been by his side almost constantly since then, either tending to his wounds, having him walk with her as she gathered herbs as his wounds began to heal, when the wish was made they had been sent to kagome's time, and still he'd been by kagome's side almost always.
With growing frustration inuyasha began to list throw who might have taken his kagome. There was kouga, inuyasha thought sourly, but kouga had ben severely inured after the last fight, he couldn't have healed that quickly nor came near kagome without inuyasha smelling him. Then there was homo from kagome's time, but still inuyasha would have smelled him on kagome, and inuyasha doubted that hojo would have had the guts to anyway. There was miroku, inuyasha thought with a laugh quickly dismissing the thought almost as quick as it had come, the monk was too whipped by Sango to even bother fooling with anyone else.
The only other one possible was inuyasha himself, but that couldn't be since Inuyasha didn't remember ever taking kagome. Another thought occurred to inuyasha that made him shiver. He didn't remember what he did in his demon state either, could he have taken kagome while in his demon form. The ideal left a bad taste in his mouth, he never knew what his demon side would do, had he hurt her? She would have told him if he had, but maybe she was too embarrassed or scared even. Inuyasha grimaced, his thoughts contuied to spiral downward until they were suddenly broken by the phone ringing.
"Kagome, your friends are on the line" kagome's mother called up the stairway.
"Tell them I call back later, please?" kagome shouted back, to distract by her own thoughts to deal with her friends chatter at the moment.
Inuyasha's chain of thought broken, another ideal occurred to him. What if it had been this boyfriend kagome's friends had been asking her about? Inuyasha hadn't met him before, so he wouldn't be sure if he smelled him on kagome since he didn't know what this stranger smelled like. The thoughts churned inuyasha belly, but he couldn't stop them. Feeling strangle betrayed, his gaze fell on kagome oblivious to him as she was lost in her own thoughts. Maybe she wasn't pregnant, inuyasha thought almost desperately, maybe he'd smelt something else. Yes that was it, his sense of smell must be off today, tomorrow it would be okay and kagome's sent would be back to normal.
And if it wasn't, inuyasha thought darkly the thought trailing off in his mind, his knuckles cracking ominously in the silence. Tomorrow inuyasha thought firmly pushing everything from his mind as he let threw the open window, deciding to sleep in the tree just outside kagome's window, just in case someone should visit at night.
Dawn spilled all too early into kagome's bedroom in her opinion. Rolling over with a groan she tried to hid from the morning under her blankets. But to no avail as morning came seeking her.
"Kagome!" inuyasha hollered, bursting throw the door with Sota on his tail who quickly leapt on kagome's prone form underneath the blankets.
Kagome gasped as all the air was suddenly forced out of her lugs as what felt like 80 pounds of rambunctious energy had landed on her.
"Are you up? Are you up? Are you up?" asked Sota all the while bouncing on kagome.
"Kagome make us food." Inuyasha said adding his two cents.
"Yea kagome, mom had take grandpa to the doctor and were hungry" Sota whined tugging the blanket away from kagome, exposing her to the brisk morning air.
"I'm up, I'm up" kagome grumbled rubbing her eyes sleepily, her mind still clouded by last night's problems. She didn't even remember going to sleep, she thought with a yawn. She must have thought her way into oblivion. She just hoped all her thinking would do her some good with her grandfather and his crazy ideal.
"You smell." Inuyasha griped frustrated that he was still not able to pick up her sent throw the cloying perfume that still clung to kagome, obscuring her natural sent from him and the answers to his question.
Kagome humped at inuyasha, shooting him a dirty look before heading toward that bathroom without another word to either of the two boys. Once she reached the sanctuary of her bathroom, kagome leaned back agents the bathroom door wondering what she was going to do. She wanted to marry for love, and while she had fallen for inuyasha years ago, she had no way of knowing how inuyasha felt. He was so tight liped about his own emotions, for all she knew he could still be in love with Kikyo. With a heavy sigh kagome desisted to leave it till later as she climbed into the shower stall, letting the warm water drown her problems for a time.
"What's her problem?" inuyasha muttered after she slammed the bathroom door, Sota shrugged having no more an answer then inuyasha had. They shrugged it off and headed for the kitchen to feed their hunger.
The site that greeted kagome as she walked into the kitchen was enduring as well as something that hoped would not repeat its self any time soon. Inuyasha and Sota had apparently had wanted something more than cold cereal, as there was flour everywhere. The flour had been knocked over coating the counter and floor, and where the flour hadn't reach as it fell, there were white hand prints. Someone had also spilled the milk on the counter while trying to pour it into a bowl, and then they had tried to walk it to the stove leaving a trail of milk behind. And kagome supposed it had been inuyasha cracking the eggs, as there were egg shells and bits of egg goo all around the kitchen as well, she doubted there was an egg left in the house.
Kagome found the messy culprits standing by the stove staring at a pan in the most dishearten manner. They looked like a pair of sad ghost, all cover in flour as they were. Kagome couldn't help but giggle as she saw that inuyasha had a bit of egg shell stuck in his hair too, she had been right to assume the eggs were his doing.
"Sooo what did you two make for breakfast?" kagome asked cheerfully as she eyed a now smoking pan.
"We want pancakes." Sota said as h and inuyasha turned to face kagome with surely heart breaking puppy dog eyes. Kagome could do nothing to stop the giggles from spilling out, they were just too cute. Ruffling her brother's hair, kagome put on an apron.
"Alright then, first thing first. Lest get rid of the burning thing on the stove." Kagome said as she scraped the remainder of the boys cooking into the trash bin. Taking down a clean blow from out of the cupboards, kagome pointed to the flour sack.
"Alright Sota, 2 cups flour. No, no not drinking cups, measuring cups" kagome quickly amended as her brother reached for the wrong kind of cup.
"alright inuyasha you want to crack me a pair of eggs while sota's doing that?" kagome suggested, handing him a smaller bowl to crack the eggs in, not wanting to have egg shells in their pancakes, that would make for crunchy pancakes. While the boys were working on that, kagome quickly added the rest of the ingredients.
"who wants to melt the butter?" kagome asked, and was almost sorry she did as inuyasha took the pan from her, a little to interested in the flames underneath the pan for his own good. Shooting him a warning look, she reminded him not to touch the oven dials.
"Alright when the bubbles pop you flip it over Sota." Kagome instated handing him the spatula. While the boys were busy cooking, kagome set about getting the rest of the kitchen cleaned. Kagome had just washed off the last floury hand print as they boys managed to finish cooking the last pancake as well.
"Well done you too, I don't think I've ever seen better pancakes" kagome praised the pancakes as if they were made of ambrosia. So what if none of them really even resembled a circle and if some of the pancakes were a little more well done then need be. Kagome smiled to herself as she watched inuyasha and Sota puff out their chest proudly, she was surprised their faces didn't spilt they were grinning so widely.
Once breakfast was done, the boys hurried up stairs to change into clothing that wasn't so covered in flour while kagome fed the rest of the pancakes to bouyo who gobbled them all up happily. It wasn't until they were inside the school on their way to class that inuyasha suddenly recalled that he still hadn't tested kagome's sent again.
"Hey kagome hold still for a second." Inuyasha said surprising kagome, she turned to face him questioningly, wondering what was up. Kagome was further surprised when inuyasha suddenly began to sniff her.
"Inuyasha? What are you doing?" kagome asked baffled by his sudden odd behavior. She tried to keep up with him as he kept circling her, but she was becoming steadily dizzier.
"Inuyasha would you stop and tell what is going on with you." Kagome snapped becoming irritated by inuyasha's strange behavior.
"You're pregnant." Said inuyasha in shock as he smelled the truth of it. He had hoped last night that he had been wrong yesterday morning and it had only been a mistake on inuyasha's nose that he thought kagome had smelled of child like their teacher did. But now that he had gotten a good whiff of the change in kagome's sent there was no denying it.
"I'm…pregnant?" kagome said slowly, confused at first as what inuyasha had said slowly sunk in, she suddenly burst into laughter. She doubled over laughing so hard. Inuyasha stared at her in bewilderment; he couldn't see what was so funny.
Finally kagome managed to get herself back under control. "Inuyasha I think you're confused, I'm not pregnant, our teacher is, remember she told us just yesterday"
"You and our teacher both are pregnant." Inuyasha argued, sniffing her again just for good measure. "You have the same change in your sent as she does too."
"we probly use the same shampoo." Kagome said dismissively, but seeing as inuyasha was quite stuck on this. She continued to explain to him just how impossible that was. "And plus inuyasha, when do I have time to get pregnant. Between collecting jewel shards and studding for the last 4 years, I never even have time to meet boys, let alone date them and get well pregnant."
"Apparently you do have time since your pregnant now." Inuyasha snapped growing angry with her for not believing him.
"Inuyasha this is ridiculous, I'm not preg-"kagome suddenly stopped, hearing footsteps coming down the hallway, she mentally cursed their rotten luck. Not wanting to earn more detention again this week for not being in class after the bell wrong, kagome thinking fast pulled them both into the janitors closet hoping whoever it was would just walk by.
"You are too pregnant, you stupid woman." Inuyasha growled at her, almost frustrated beyond words by her continued denial.
"Inuyasha shhh!" kagome tried to sush him before someone herd them, but to no use as the door was suddenly flung open exposing the hidden pair.
"Mr. Wiegrauber and Ms. Higurashi, I am so happy to see the two of you have worked out your differences but if you could be so kind as to work out your differences off school ground form now on," Mr. myoto said stepping to the side so the pair could exit the closet.
"Alright now off to class before I have to do detention for the two of you today." Mr. Myoto warned shooing them off to class. Not needing to be told again inuyasha nor kagome bothered to correct him as to what he'd seen as they rushed off class.
It was lunch time before kagome or inuyasha spoke to each other again. Inuyasha not wanting any of kagome's annoying friends to butt in had dragged kagome off to less used part of the school cort yard. Once he was sure none of her friends were around he turned his questioning gaze on kagome.
"Who's the father kagome?" inuyasha asked the one thing that not knowing was driving him insane.
"Not this again inuyasha." kagome said, already tiring of such talk. "For the last time, I'm not pregnant."
"Is it hojo? Or kouga? Or is it Kota?" inuyasha pushed, watching for any tale tale signs.
Exasperated kagome marched up to inuyasha not stopping until she was right under his nose, their chest flush agents each other's. She tilted her head back till she could glare up at him. "Do you smell either of them on me? At least use your nose if you're not going to use your brain inuyasha. I know you can, do you smell either of them on me?"
"no." inuyasha muttered admitting after thoroughly searching her sent once again. Still he could smell only kagome's lavender sent along with the slight change brought on from being with child, and his sent on her.
"Then what is your issue, I'm not pregnant, I haven't been near any guys but you, the only time I've ever kissed was to bring you back from your demon side." Even thou all but her not being pregnant was true, inuyasha weren't content and it still didn't answer his question.
"What about that two-timing selfish violent boyfriend that your friends were talking about yesterday was it him?" inuyasha finally asked.
Kagome was struck speechless by inuyasha's last assumption. Fed up with it all, kagome throw her hands up in the air, making a sound of utter disgust as she stormed away from inuyasha and his stupid assumptions.
Inuyasha watched confused as she disappeared around the Connor. He didn't see why she had gotten so mad, he'd only asked her a simple question. Inuyasha pondered the possibilities as he sat down beside a small tree. Maybe it was the boyfriend and she just didn't want to tell him, inuyasha thought angrily punching the ground in front of him. He could hardly believe that his kagome would do something like that behind his back. Inuyasha shook his head at his thoughts, obviously she wasn't his.
With that in mind inuyasha found it odd that his demon side was strangely silent, when lately it wouldn't shut up when kagome was about. Shrugging it off inuyasha supposed that maybe his demon side was for once behaving, stranger things could happen.
Kagome avoided inuyasha for the rest of the school day, it wasn't until she was walking home with her friends that inuyasha managed to find her again. Taking all the girls by surprise inuyasha jumped down right in front of kagome, causing her to bump into his chest as she went to take a step. Crossing his arms over his chest, inuyasha stared down at kagome grim faced.
"Do you love him?" inuyasha asked, the words tasting as sour on his tongue as the expression the left on his face.
"Oh for the sake of the gods, who inuyasha love who!" kagome snapped, her temper ignited already.
"The boyfriend of yours that those three are always yapping about." Inuyasha asked jerking his head in the direction of kagome's three friends. Even though inuyasha thought he had lost kagome, he still couldn't help himself as he committed the sight of kagome to memory, to inuyasha kagome always looked the prettiest when she was mad. Her skin would flush, her chest would rapidly rise and fall as she breathed in angrily. But it was her eyes that captivated inuyasha; her gray blue orbs became a storm at sea when she was truly furious. Inuyasha swore that he'd seen lighting flash in her eyes before.
"Ohhh" kagome hissed angrily. She was nearly spitting venom she was so mad. "yes I love that two-timing, violent, never-do well, dangerous, hot tempered, possessive, oblivious, insensitive, stupid Jerk!" kagome shouted at inuyasha, pushing him out of the way she started running for home as the tears began to run down her face.
"She loves…him." inuyasha whispered, feeling as if the air had suddenly been knocked out of his lungs as he watched her flee down the side walk.
"SHE LOVES YOU!" kagome's friends suddenly shouted having had enofe. While kagome had been busy avoiding inuyasha, Yuki, Erika and Ami had sensed something was up and pried the whole story, well the love story at least from her. Filled with their new knowledge they felt it was duty as kagome's friends to set things right. Seeing inuyasha's still lost expression, Ami chose to simplify it for the poor boy "The boyfriend we were talking about was you, so if she says she love the violent, insensitive, ect, ect, oblivious 'boyfriend' what she really means is she loves you."
