Chapter 4:1st Month
Starlite: Sorry again for the lack of updates...-tries to calm down the rabid folks with pitchforks- I've been busy...Here ya go before you eat me! -sobs-
For Kagome, the hard part was just around the corner. Somehow, someway, she had to tell her mother that she was pregnant. Getting used to being pregnant would be a chore but telling her mom would defiantly be the hardest part.
"Inuyasha! Come here!" she screamed.
"I'm right here..."
"Oh! Good! Help me devise a plot to tell my momma that I'm pregnant." she said cheerfully.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because, that's not my child so I don't want to get mixed up with your affairs."
"Are you still bitter because I decided to have Jinenji's child!" she yelled.
"Yes. Even Miroku would be better than him!" he yelled.
"How so? He's not a pervert, he's sweet, and he wouldn't take just any woman who said she would bear his child. He came specifically to me. Hmph!"
"That's not the point! If you had a child with Miroku it would be full stock human, but now that you've crossed with a hanyou you've doomed your child to a life of torment!"
"As if it would be any different if I crossed with you!" she yelled.
"Yes it would! If you crossed with me then I would be around the entire time to protect you and it. Jinenji won't be around much of the time and he is going to die soon anyway!"
"Inuyasha! You are a self-centered beast! I'm going home! And then I'll be back like always! But for now I'm going home!" Kagome stormed off.
"God, I'll never understand her..."
When she got home she started crying terribly hard and soon found her mother beside her.
"What's the matter, honey?" her mother tried to console her.
"Mom! I'm pregnant!" she cried.
"What! How did this happen!"
"How do you think it happened! Use some common sense, Mom!"
"I know that! With whom! Was it Inuyasha?"
"No Mom. You wouldn't know the guy. He's really sick and he might not live for very long and he is really nice, but his mother wanted a grandchild before he passed away so I volunteered to bear his child."
"Oh honey...You're still just a baby...That was a big decision for you to make. What made you want to do that?"
"He is such a caring hanyou and he really likes me. I felt that it was the least I could do." she explained to her mother.
"He's a hanyou? Ummm...What kind?"
"I'm pretty sure his father was a horse youkai."
"Oh… At least you'll finally have that pony you've always wanted..." her mother sweatdropped.
"Mom?"
"Yes dear?"
"Are you mad at me?"
"No. Just surprised. I'll love this child just as much as if it was a human child."
"What am I going to say to everyone else?"
"Nothing for right now. Let's just let it be our little secret."
"Thanks, Mom...Ugh! Bathroom!" Kagome suddenly turned green and headed for the toilet. When she returned she was quite pale.
"Great...Morning sickness. Just what I need to cheer me up on this exceptionally sucky day..."
"Don't worry. It could have been worse. I could have overreacted. Hehe. I'll go to the store and buy you some peppermints. It is said that it is supposed to soothe an upset stomach."
This is going to take some getting used to..." Kagome sighed.
Starlite: Sorry for yet another short chapter. I'm trying to get it in as fast as I can so I don't get bombarded with another truck-load of scary letters with razors and such...Please review!
