The Impossible Possibilities of Love

Chapter 6

Disclaimer:I do not own Inuyasha or any associated characters.

"What the fuck is that?" Iyana repeated through clenched teeth. Inuyasha could hear laughing behind him and fought the urge to roll his eyes. He could already tell Miroku wouldn't be any help.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked instead of answering her question. He didn't want to argue with her when he had Kai with him, but knowing Iyana that's exactly what was about to happen.

"You have a problem with me coming here now?" She asked as she pointed a finger towards Kai's carseat. "Is that yours?"

Inuyasha frowned and narrowed his eyes. He felt rage simmering in his chest. "One, he's a baby, not a 'that'. Two, I told you that you don't come over unless you call first. Did you call?" He asked, his tone giving hints of his anger.

"No, but-,"

"Then why the fuck are you here?" Inuyasha raised his voice cutting her off. It pissed him off to hear her refer to Kai as a 'that'. He was even more pissed that she was slowing him down from getting to Kagome's, but he wasn't going to look into that right now.

"You never answer my calls anymore so I decided to just come!" She replied loudly. "Is the baby yours?" She asked once again.

Inuyasha stared at her and contemplated his answer. Saying yes may make him even more of an asshole. It would also dig him into a deeper hole than he was already in.

But then again, it wouldn't exactly be a lie.

"Yes, he is." He answered, not caring about the shock that appeared on her face. He could hear Miroku mutter a confused 'what the fuck', but he didn't pay him any mind. "Now, why are you here?" He looked down at his wristwatch and huffed. He needed to go soon before Kagome called back worried.

"That's your baby?" Iyana asked slowly, pointing at the car seat with wide eyes. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Are you having a slow day? Yes, he's mine. Now why the fuck are you here?" He asked her again. He began to move forward, making her step backwards further into the hallway. Inuyasha shut his apartment door behind him. He walked over to the elevator and hit the call button.

He felt Iyana follow him towards the elevator and he tried not to roll his eyes once again. He knew she wouldn't drop this, so he needed to lay it out for her. He sat Kai's carseat down next to him and turned his head to look at Iyana. Her face was still frozen with shock, her eyes wide and mouth slightly parted as she looked at Kai.

Inuyasha almost felt bad for what he said to her. The truth was, she was actually a nice person and if he were a different person, he might have taken things further with her. He wasn't the type of man for Iyana, though. She needed someone to cater to her constantly, someone who placed her above everything and he just couldn't do that for her.

He never had been a clingy person, nor was he attracted to people who were clingy. He let his eyes roam over her while she was distracted. He took in her chin length light brown hair, wide green eyes, full lips and slim figure.

He knew exactly what it was that attracted him to Iyana, and that something was purely physical. Out of all the time he had been seeing her, he hadn't developed any feelings outside of lust for her. If he were a decent guy, he would tell her that he would never be the man for her. That he couldn't fulfill all the things she wanted.

Noone ever claimed he was a decent guy.

"Look, Iyana, we aren't together so I don't know why you seem so surprised about me having a kid and not telling you." At the sound of his voice her eyes left Kai and looked at him with even more shock.

"I don't report to you. We fuck and that's it. Anything else that goes on in my life is my business and you'll do well to stay out of it." His tone brooked no argument. He turned back around and picked up Kai's seat just as the elevator doors opened. He stepped inside, sighing loudly when Iyana followed him in. He pressed the button to the lobby and looked straight ahead.

He was done talking, but apparently, Iyana hadn't received that memo.

"How old is he?" She asked and he could hear the break in her voice. He wasn't trying to hurt her, just make a point to her. He didn't belong to her, he never would. He could give her a good fuck whenever she wanted, but that was all he was offering.

"He'll be one month next week." He heard her breath catch, but he kept his eyes on the elevator doors. Maybe she'd get it now and move on with her life.

"Do you love her?" She asked him.

He looked towards her and saw the heartbreak written all over her face. Inuyasha had been called a lot of things, but a decent guy was never one of them.

"Don't ask questions you don't really want to know the answer to." He said as he held up his left hand, his wedding ring making his answer clear. He watched as her face crumbled and he walked out of the elevator and to his truck without so much as a backwards glance.

No, no one ever claimed he was a decent guy.

-X-

Kagome stepped out of the shower feeling relaxed after a hard days work. Her new client was hell on wheels and had Kagome running ragged the entire day. Nothing was good enough for the soon to be newlywed woman and it drove Kagome nuts that she turned her nose up at every idea she'd offered.

She went into her room and put on a pair of black yoga pants and a red tank top. She did a half ass job of blow drying her hair and decided to let it hang down to air dry. She looked at her clock on her night stand, checking the time as she headed into the kitchen.

She had spoken to Inuyasha about fifteen minutes ago and was expecting him and her baby boy soon. She wasn't sure how far away he lived, but she wished he would hurry. She had missed her son desperately all day. She hated the fact that she had to leave him before he was even a month old, but she didn't have a choice.

As she entered the kitchen she felt bitterness burn in her chest. She wouldn't have had to leave her baby if she had gotten things right and ended up with a decent guy. All the signs were right in front of her face with Kouga, but she ignored them all and chose to live on in ignorant bliss. Now both her and her son were paying for it.

She had no one to blame but herself. She should have known better. Her own father had walked out when her mother was pregnant with her. Kagome could remember all the times she would catch her mother, sitting alone crying to herself. She didn't understand it then, but she did now.

Her mother felt like a failure. Just like she felt like a failure.

She had told herself growing up that she would find the perfect man and live happily ever after. They would have a beautiful life and raise beautiful children together. What a load of bullshit. There were no perfect men and happily ever after's only happened to fake ass characters in Disney books.

She hated Disneyཤྭexcluding Winnie The Poohཤྭbecause they gave little girls everywhere the wrong impression of relationships. The handsome prince was not going to come riding up on his great white horse to rescue you, whisk you away and make all your dreams come true.

What Disney failed to tell little girls was that the prince was a fucking liar that would string your delusional ass along, whisper meaningless bullshit into your ear, knock you up and then leave you to run away with an old flame.

Kagome could feel the anger and resentment flowing through her veins as she pulled out all the ingredients she would need for dinner. She began chopping carrots and potatoes angrily as she thought about all the time she wasted playing a fool for Kouga. Time she could have spent with someone who actually wanted her.

Kagome rinsed the roast and threw it in a pan, seasoned it, tossed the vegetables in and threw it in the oven. She put together rice in a pot and set it to cook. She cleaned the mess off the counter and took a couple of deep breathes.

There was no point in getting angry at something she couldn't change. She hated what Kouga did to her, but she couldn't change it. All she could do was try to move on and be happy. If not for herself, then for Kai.

Kagome decided to clean up in an effort to clear her mind. She grabbed a dusting cloth and set about dusty her living room. She had barely started dusting when her cell phone rang. She jogged back into her bedroom to scoop it off her bed, hoping it was Inuyasha.

"Hello?" She asked slightly out of breath.

"What the hell are you breathing so hard for?" Came Sango's voice from the other end. "Are you finally getting your cookie some service?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and walked back into the living room, flopping down on her couch.

"No, I'm not. I had to run and grab the phone from my room. I thought you might be Inuyasha." Kagome looked up at the clock wondering how long it would take him to arrive.

"Ohhhh, so you are going to get your pipes drained. Good work girl! You had me worried there." Sango said cheerfully causing Kagome to roll her eyes again.

"He's not coming anywhere near my pipes Sango. He's dropping Kai back off. He babysat today."

"He doesn't have to come near them, that would probably get you pregnant again. He could come on your tits. Guys like that shit." Sango responded ignoring the babysitting statement.

"God! Get your mind out of the fucking gutter Sango!" Kagome yelled into the phone, trying and failing to block out images of Inuyasha doing just that.

"How about you put your mind in the gutter? How long has it been since you had any?" Sango asked. Kagome was silent for a moment while she thought. "If you have to think about it then its been too fucking long."

"Shut up." Kagome said, irritation evident in her tone. "Kouga was the last person I was with."

"Didn't you guys stop fucking sometime during your pregnancy?" Sango asked, insistent on pushing the issue.

Kagome frowned as she thought back to when she was six months pregnant with Kai. Kouga had told her then that it would be weird having sex while the baby was active and her stomach was so obvious.

"Its only been about four or five months now. No big deal." Kagome replied, but she didn't believe her own words. Her B.O.B had gotten her through her pregnancy and it would get her through life after her six weeks were up.

"Four or five months! How the fuck are you even functioning?" Sango yelled in disbelief.

"Easy. Not everyone is a sex fiend like you." Kagome said.

"You're human and no matter what you say, I know you're horny." Sango said. "But its okay because you have a sexy hubby whom I'm sure would be happy to work that out for you."

"I'm not going to fuck him!" Kagome yelled at her friend. What the hell was wrong with Sango?

"Well why not? You need it, you probably have cobwebs growing down there!"

"I barely know him, I'm not a slut. And even if I wanted to, I can't have sex for six weeks."

"You wouldn't be a slut. He's your husband therefore its his duty." Sango reasoned. "And who the hell really waits the whole six weeks? Its been three weeks, that's long enough."

Kagome opened her mouth to respond just as a knock sounded at her door. "I've got to go Sango. Inuyasha is here with Kai." Kagome said as she got up and headed to the door.

"Good. Put Kai to bed and let him fuck your brains out and get your pipes working again." Sango replied, not giving up.

"I am not going to fuck him. My pipes work just fine, now bye you crazy bitch." Kagome yelled as she hung up. She yanked the door open to a smiling Inuyasha holding Kai's carseat.

"I couldn't help but overhear that you needed your pipes checked." Inuyasha said huskily, his smile turning simply evil. "I'd be more than happy to have a look for you."

Kagome stared at him with wide eyes, completely mortified that he overheard. "N-no thanks." She stammered as she moved aside to let him in. She watched him eye her up and down slowly, a seductive grin on his handsome face. His eyes came back to hers as he walked in and paused in front of her.

"That's too bad." He said in a low, sexy voice that made her want to do everything Sango had just suggested. "Do you already have someone to handle that?"

Kagome mentally shook off her mortification long enough to form an answer. "That's not your business." She said reaching for Kai's seat. Inuyasha pushed her hand away and went to sit the seat on the couch.

Kagome closed the door and made her way over to her son. Inuyasha was already lifting him out of his seat. He smiled at Kagome as he cradled Kai against his shoulder.

"Actually, Mrs. Hamada, who works on your pipes is my business." His grin grew impossibly more lecherous. "Can't have another man pleasuring my wife."

Kagome shook her head at him in disbelief and couldn't hold in her laugh. "Give me my son." She said between laughs, holding out her arms.

"You mean our son." Inuyasha replied handing Kai over to his mother. He watched as Kagome held him close and smiled at him. It was obvious that she missed her son. Kagome sat on the couch, continuing to hold Kai close and whisper affectionate words to him.

Inuyasha pulled his cell out his pocket and took a picture of the two of them. He didn't know why, but he felt that, that was a moment he should capture. He took a seat next to Kagome on the couch and asked her about her day.

She began to tell him about her new client and the type of work she would be doing. He kept her talking about her job and past client experiences until the timer on the stove went off.

"Shit. I forgot about dinner!" Kagome cried while handing Kai to Inuyasha. She ran into the kitchen and Inuyasha's eyes followed her, mainly looking at the nicely shaped feature behind her.

He secretly hoped that Kagome didn't have anyone to "work on her pipes" because, if truth be told, he wanted that opportunity. Inuyasha was busy conjuring up mental images of what it would be like with Kagome, when she poked her head out the kitchen.

"If you're hungry the food is ready." She smiled at him and he felt a twitch in his pants. He stood and carried Kai with him into the kitchen. Kagome relieved him of Kai as he sat infront of a loaded plate at the table.

"I'll just go lay him in his crib and then I'll join you." Kagome said as she walked out.

"I'm starving so don't be surprised if your food isn't here when you get back." He told her jokingly. He heard Kagome laugh behind him. He tasted a piece of the roast and was surprised that is was so good.

'Good looks and she can cook. Nice choice for a wife.' He thought to himself as he dug into his food. His plate was almost clear by the time Kagome returned.

"Geez, you couldn't wait for me?" She asked jokingly as she sat and began eating.

"Just be happy your food is still there." He joked back. Kagome smiled at him.

"If you want more help yourself." He smiled back and thanked her.

"I'm cool. Don't want to eat you out of house and home." He chuckled and took his plate to the sink. He came and sat back with Kagome.

"So, tell me all about Kagome Hamada." He smirked at her. Kagome narrowed her eyes at him playfully.

"There's not much to tell about Kagome Higurashi. I grew up about thirty minutes from here. My mom still lives in the same house. I'm a single mom and an interior decorator. Your turn."

"That sucked." Inuyasha laughed.

"Show me how its done then."

"I'm Inuyasha Hamada. Born and raised in this very city. I have an older brother and younger sister. Parents been married forever. I graduated with honors, then went to college for architecture and graduated with more honors. My father owns an architecture business and that's currently where I make my bread and butter." He finished and leaned back. "Now that's how you tell someone about yourself, Mrs. Hamada."

"You're enjoying this marriage a bit too much. Give me your credit card so I can make your life miserable." Kagome joked as she stood to take her plate to the sink. Inuyasha stood and took her plate from her and went to the sink. "I can do the dishes Inuyasha. You're a guest."

Inuyasha looked at her with a bright smile. "I got it. Why don't you go in the living room and take a load off? Watch football, drink a beer." He joked.

Kagome laughed and went to watch television while Inuyasha cleaned the kitchen. It felt weird, domestic. Like they had been doing it forever. It wasn't hard to feel comfortable around Inuyasha. Kagome felt herself slowly dozing off. She faintly heard Kai crying and Inuyasha going to his room, but she couldn't get herself to move.

Inuyasha returned to the living room after feeding Kai to find Kagome fast asleep on the couch. He smiled as he knelt down in front of her. She had a small smile on her face and looked peaceful. He quietly took his phone from his pocket and took a picture of her sleeping. He had a feeling that by the time they went their separate ways, he would have a collection of them.

He gently lifted Kagome into his arms and carried her to her bedroom, where he laid her gently on the bed. She stirred a bit and called his name. He smiled down at her and pulled the covers up to her shoulders. Before he could stop himself, he leaned down and placed a kiss on her cheek. He spared her one last glance and walked out of her bedroom.

He locked up her apartment and headed to his truck, thoughts of Kagome and Kai feeling his head.

Yeeeaaahhhh, I know, it's been awhile. To sum it up: I recently moved and started working again (yay!) and I was just recently sick. So, that's why this chapter took so long to get to you. I will do my best to get chapter 7 out in a week or two. I have an important decision to make regarding this little story, that's why nothing much is happening this chapter. My decision will be made with chapter 7. Anywho, as always I hope you enjoyed this chappie and that you continue to enjoy the story. TTUL Dolls ^_^ Please excuse any typos...most of this chapter was written in the late/early hours(1am-4am).
