It had been a week sense Kagome had seen Inuyasha with Kikyo (which makes it a week), she was so, lost. Kagome didn't know what to do with the child that was now in her womb, should she keep it, what would happen if Inuyasha knew, would he kill her. Kagome shook at the thought of that, Kagome was right now sitting in Keade hut. She was reading a book, or so the others thought as she kept doing secret glances at every one. Sango was cleaning her Hirikotsu, Miroku was looking through some scrolls, and of course Shippo was drawing a picture with Kirara sleeping next to him. Kagome look at her wrist watch and sigh, it was time for her to go home, so she could be on time for school since it started in about an hour and a half. So she got up and began to get her back pack while every one look at her curiously, Keade was out getting herbs while Inuyasha was god knows where.
'Probably to see Kikyo again' Kagome thought more sadly than bitterly.
"Are you leaving Kagome?" Sango ask, Kagome finally put the back pack on her back and nodded yes.
"Its time for school" Kagome simply said, not in her usual cherry voice, but then again who can blame her.
"Well see you in a few days" Sango said, trying to sound positive but failed as every one could hear the sadness for her friend and the absolute anger in it as well.
"Be safe, Kagome" Miroku said as he gave her a small smile which Kagome barley return. Kagome was then about to leave before she felt something small and yet firm grab onto her sock, she look down to see Shippo.
"You'll come back right?" Shippo ask in a scared voice. He had been doing that all week every time she even went to use the restroom he would have her promise that she would come back. Kagome sigh as she bent down and pick up the sniffling Shippo and give him a big huge.
"Yes Shippo I promise that I will return in a 3 days time, okay?" Kagome ask, Shippo nodded as he gave her a hug back as well, Kagome did a little real smile as she gave a small kiss on Shippo head. Then she set Shippo down and with one last wave of her hand Kagome was gone, Sango then got up and began to walk out side.
"Sango," Miroku ask curiously.
"Going for a walk" She simply said as she continued to walk, Miroku wasn't concern for he saw Kirara follow Sango and she did have the Hirikotsu.
Kagome continue to walk to the well, her thoughts went this way and that trying to think of what she was going to do about this whole thing. That was until she saw a flash of red and white, and now walk next to her was Inuyasha, with a calm look on his face. They continue to walk as Kagome felt her heart ache at the sight of him.
"Where are ya going Kagome?" Inuyasha ask out of no where, surprising her slightly, but she then answered.
"I was going to the well…. For school" Kagome saw as Inuyasha seem to have wanted to say something but stop himself and then nodded.
"Okay" He simply said, Kagome was surprise that he hadn't started a fight or make a fuss. But then Kagome realize why, it would probably give him enough time to go to Kikyo, while she was gone for the day. Kagome felt her heart burn as she then thankfully saw the well, she then began to walk slightly faster than Inuyasha, she just needed to get to the well she just had to.
"Bye" Kagome said, she finally made it to the well, but just before she was about to jump into the well she felt some ones hand on her cheek. She look up to see that the hand belong to Inuyasha himself, he look at her deeply and intensely with his beautiful molten golden color eyes. Ones that she still love, ones that now both broke and made her heart sink. Inuyasha face than began to get closer, and closer. That's when Kagome realize he was leaning down to kiss her…..Kagome then turn her head just before his lips could come close to her.
"Bye Inuyasha" Kagome said while pushing his hand gently and yet quickly away as she then jump into the well before she could hear a sound from him.
The school day went okay for Kagome, her friends had kept on trying to help her, by trying to get Kagome over him and just get a abortion and even go out with some one else. Kagome couldn't help but laugh, like she could get over Inuyasha, they didn't realize he was just some one Kagome had a huge crush on, no it was something. A true and real spark, Kagome didn't know how she could tell, but she could. She knew with all of her heart that she was un believable truly in love with the half-demon. So it would probably take for the rest of her life to get over him, and besides Kagome knew she wanted to keep this baby, after all she would at least want something to remember him, and besides her mother would be excited to be having a grandchild. Especially with Inuyasha adorable dog ears, another thing Kagome still love about him, all of him truthfully. Kagome was then nock out of her thinking when Eri ask her something.
"Hey Kagome why don't you go out with Hojo?" Eri ask, Kagome shook her head no as soon as Eri said that.
"Actually, I don't think going on a date is a good idea for me right now," Kagome said but her friends didn't listen and began to say that they could ask Kagome for her, they were already finish with school for it was a early day for them. They were all currently outside of school and were walking across the court yard, that was until they were stop by some one.
"Kagome!" Every one turn around to see Hojo, (oh joy) running like an idiot until finally he made it to Kagome.
"Oh, hey Hojo" Kagome said, Hojo look up with a blush as Kagome herd her friend whispered from behind her.
"Kagome…well….I herd about you being pregnant" Hojo said, this didn't surprise Kagome, she had ran so fast she had forgotten to tell her friends to not tell any one about the pregnancy but they did, even though they should have known not to tell any one in the first place.
"Ya" Kagome said as if to confirm that what he herd was sadly true. Then Hojo got down on one knee and look straight into her eyes as he said the next words.
"Kagome, I herd all about how that boyfriend mistreated you and left you pregnant with his kid, so I wanted to let you know that I'm here for you, and also" A crowd had form around them as Hojo then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a diamond rings, gasp herd every where. "Kagome, will you marry me" Every one was quiet while Kagome was utterly shock. Kagome was about to open her mouth but however it was not her voice that came out.
"Yes" all 3 of Kagome 'friends' said as they then grab Kagome hand and put it out so Hojo can put the ring on as people around them began to cheer. Kagome was shock, why wouldn't she speak, and why were her friends allowing this to happen, they had to know that she didn't want this. But Hojo slid the ring on Kagome finger as he then stood up, the girls then practically threw her to Hojo as Hojo then put a very uncomfortable hands on her waist as he then began to lower his head. Kagome in pure shock and instinct close her eyes, not to get into the mood or anything but just to not look at him, for this just wasn't right. Hojo lips were close to Kagome so close, but then he felt the ground disappear as something, or some one lifted him from behind, causing Hojo to open his eyes in horror as he herd a very scary voice.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Earlier…
Inuyasha was walking through the forest, he was confuse, and sad. Earlier he and Kagome were walking to the well, she said she was going home and Inuyasha let her, not wanting to make her mad. But for some reason it did make her mad as she had began to go faster towards the well, Inuyasha not sure what he had done to make her mad decided to make her feel better if possible. He had stop her just before she was about to jump by caressing her cheek trying to be romantic, and then he lean his head down to give her a kiss to take her breath away, but then she had push him away. She had just rejected him and then jump down the well without so much as a full hearted good bye. So ya Inuyasha was hurt and confuse, and now that he thought about it Kagome had been doing many similar things like that.
'Is she, regretting it?' Inuyasha thought causing his heart to burn and him to get scared. 'Did I screw up already? Does she hate me?' Inuyasha was now gripping his arms while she was in the sacred tree, where he went to think. He had been there almost all day and now he was getting afraid and anxious as he realize that Kagome was being distant from him. 'I have to find her and talk to her' Inuyasha thought, as he now decided what he was going to do he got up and began to run towards the well, he was about half way there before he herd a now becoming freighting familiar voice.
"HIRIKOTSU!" Yelled Sango as the Boomerang came hurdling towards him, Inuyasha duck just barley out of the way before the Hirikotsu came and then return to no one but Sango. Inuyasha turn towards her with a glare, she had been doing that a lot lately, saying it was a accident or that she thought he was a demon. She been doing that so much, more than Miroku getting hit a good 2 months of flirting worth, which was just scary he had even stayed awake at night scared she would kill him.
"Sango what the hell?!" Inuyasha said, he couldn't help but get slightly mad, or very mad.
"What?" she ask, her face was emotionless and her voice was so…monotone it was freaking him out she kind of look like Sesshomaru but when he was mad and even worse now that he mentally compared the two. "After all, it was a mistake" she said that last word with fiery poison that scared him. "An accident that I can't help but be responsible for, and that maybe I shouldn't try to hide it, sense I know the difference between a Mistake and an Accident. But I still confess to them and try to do right and not screw any one over!" Sango practically yelled into his face, Inuyasha was now getting completely loss at what she was trying to get towards him and why she was being so angry at him.
'Maybe it's her mood swings' Inuyasha thought, that's when he herd some one coming towards them, and soon realize it was just Miroku. His theory was proven correct as the monk came into view and he took one look quickly realize what was happening to Inuyasha. He quickly went to Sango and gently pulled her back to keep her from biting Inuyasha head off.
"Thanks" Inuyasha muttered so only Miroku could hear, which he didn't even so much as give him an apologetic look.
"Sorry," Sango said but clearly did not even come close to meaning it which was just pissing him off. First Kagome begins to become distant from him and now his 'friends' where treating him like crap.
"Inuyasha" Said a familiar voice, Inuyasha look behind him to see little Shippo running to him until he finally jump onto his shoulder.
"What is it?" Inuyasha ask curiously, Shippo then lean closer hopping speak so Inuyasha could hear but failed.
"I saw her soul collectors again and I came to you like you said," Shippo said, Inuyasha then let out a small growl as he nodded.
"Thanks" Inuyasha said as he then began to walk away before he herd Sango mutter something.
"Half-breed" and that got him as he stop. Did he just hear her right, did he just herd some one who he thought in a way as his sister call him a half-breed, oh that set him off.
"What the hell did you call me?" Inuyasha said as he snap his head towards Sango as his eyes flash red, Sango didn't even flinch, neither did Miroku.
"I said half-breed" She said, looking at him straight in the eye with no hesitation that was the breaking point for Inuyasha.
"Alright what the hell is both of your problems, You've both been acting like this all week, what the hell did I do to make you pissed off." Inuyasha snap, Shippo had jump off his shoulders slightly scared, for he knew that was a striking point to Inuyasha, especially when one of his friends said it.
"My problem?' Sango ask the fire that was hidden was now being shown. "My problem is you, you bastard" This shock Inuyasha as Miroku this time did not attempt to stop her. "You think you can go and full around with some ones emotion especially with Kagome emotions" Sango said, this was now making Inuyasha feel like he had to fine something smaller than Myoga on the moon with his complete loss and confusion and it was so pissing him off.
"What do you mean 'full around with Kagome emotions,' I haven't even started a fight with her, so what did I do to make her sad" Inuyasha didn't even come close to even considering to guess what Sango said next's.
"I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FACT YOU FUCK KAGOME AND THEN TURN AROUND ON HER BACK AND FUCK WITH KIKYO AND 3, DO YOU HEAR, 3 WEEKS AFTER YOU 2 HAD BECOME MATES, AND YOU SAY YOU DID NOTHING TO HER. SO I THINK I HAVE A RIGHT TO CALL YOU WHAT YOU ARE, HALF-BREED" Sango scream loud enough for all of Japan to hear her as Inuyasha fell dead silent and Shippo eyes widen in shock. Sango almost fell from screaming as Miroku was by her side and helping her calm down and breath but he then turn to Inuyasha, deciding sense the truth was out he might as well of give him a piece of his mind as well.
"Sango right, you know that Inuyasha" Miroku said not in his usual wise like voice but in a voice full of anger. "Kagome trusted you enough to give you something she couldn't get back no matter how hard she tried (virginity) with her heart and soul. And all you do is turn around and sleep with Kikyo of all people and act like nothing is that matter. I've seen low, but you strike a new low every man, demon, child, and woman would fine impossible disgusting, even Naraku." Miroku said, Inuyasha just continued to stand there, like as if once Sango had snap he had been killed and froze in the same spot he stood in.
"No….." was the last thing they herd before Inuyasha turn around and became a blur of red and barley silver as he began to run towards Kagome to find her.
Sango and Miroku look curiously and slightly shock not expecting him to react that way. Sango stood and shook her head, probably to run off to Kikyo knowing he had lost his 'toy', until she felt some one yank on the bottom of her kimono. She look down to see Shippo crying which surprise her as she bent down and pick him up.
"Shippo, what's wrong?" Sango ask, Shippo held onto Sango tighter as he began to sob loudly as his answer came.
"Its my fault, Inuyasha didn't sleep with her (cries harder) becausehewantedtoonlyprotectme" and then he began to blubber beyond words.
"Shhh Shippo calm down and what happen, tell me again." Sango said, Shippo took some deep breaths while Miroku rub his back to help get all of the sobs out.
"Its my fault, its all my fault and now Kagome doesn't love Inuyasha any more…..and…and." Sango interrupted him before he could continue.
"Shippo calm down and tell me slowly what happen and why isn't it Inuyasha fault?" Sango ask, Shippo pulled back a little so he could take another deep breath and then tried again.
Inuyasha ran as fast as he could to the well, no wonder she was acting so different. Hell, he probably would have done something similar if Kagome where to fine happiness with another man, even if it would kill him. But he now was scared again, what if she didn't let him explain, would she even believe him. Inuyasha shook his head mentally as he had made it pass the well and began to run towards Kagome. He pulled out a bandana from his robe and put it on, he now carried one if he ever had to go get Kagome in a hurry like this. He was also wondering why she wanted him to cover his ears, but he knew for sure right now getting her mad would be about as useful as kissing some random girl in front of her. Inuyasha knew Kagome wasn't home, he could tell by the smell that the only one there was Mrs. Higurashi and the old coot of a grandfather. And so he figured the only other place she could be was her school, he soon pick up her sent and followed it to the school place just like he thought. He soon jumped on a tree and look around to see if he could spot her in the 'corp-yard' area. He soon found her with her weird friends and was about to go her until some one shouted Kagome name. The kid came closer and Inuyasha could soon tell it was the Hobo wimp, Inuyasha let out a small growl.
'What is he doing talking to my mate' Inuyasha thought as Hojo began to talk to Kagome. "Kagome…well….I herd about you being pregnant" Hojo said, Inuyasha jaw almost literally drop to the ground when he herd Hojo say that.
'Kagome….pregnant' Inuyasha thought, now guilt was practically stabbing him in the heart. He could only imagine what Kagome was going through if she was pregnant and if she indeed did saw him and Kikyo. 'God Kagome, I swear its not what you think' Inuyasha thought as he was too shook to move at that moment. He herd Kagome replied with a small ya. Then Inuyasha look at curiosity when Hojo bent down to one knee looking at Kagome with a look that Inuyasha did not like in the slightest.
"Kagome, I herd all about how that boyfriend mistreated you and left you pregnant with his kid," Hojo started which got Inuyasha slightly piss. He never mistreated Kagome, okay sure there was the occasional fight but it's not like no one has ever had a fight before. It's not like he ever called insulted her badly like calling her a whore or slut. Inuyasha shook the thought out of his head as he continued to talk.
"So I wanted to let you know that I'm here for you, and also" Hojo then tried to pull out something while Inuyasha was fuming and wanted to go down there and kick the kids ass but wanted to see what he was trying to do. That's when Inuyasha saw Hojo pull out a ring of all things and said words that almost made Inuyasha go full demon even with the Tetsusaiga.
"Will you marry me?" Inuyasha stop to see Kagome reaction, he was totally expecting for him no, even if Kagome thought he didn't love her and was only using her he knew defiantly that she would say no. But she didn't even get to prove him right as her 3 'friends' all scream YES! Inuyasha watch in surprise as her friends basically said yes for her to marry that guy, Inuyasha also so the gleam in all of theirs eyes like as if they were the ones Hojo ask to marry which just set Inuyasha off even more.
'What the hell, they use Kagome as some type of prop just because the stupid wimp doesn't like them!' Once Inuyasha quitted be enrage in his head he look down to see Kagome in his arms and him bending his head down to kiss her, that was the last straw.
Inuyasha jump down right behind the idiot and immediately pick him up by the back of his shirt, lifting him a good 2 feet into the air.
"What the hell do you think you're doing" Inuyasha growled as he hung in the air, he could smell the fear in the little idiots sent, which smelled like Kagome first-aid kit, what a disgusting smell.
Kagome open her eyes in shock to see Hojo floating, that is until she saw he was being held by some one hand…..who had claws? Kagome then gasp in shock as she saw it was Inuyasha holding Hojo above them.
'Oh no…..what is Inuyasha going to do?' Kagome thought with worry.
Inuyasha then turn the guy around so he could see Inuyasha golden piercing eyes that clearly show they were not contacts.
"I… was ah (gulp) going to kiss….my…fiancé" Then Hojo was shock when he herd an unbelievably great impression of a growl, maybe that was the wrong thing to say. Inuyasha felt his anger rise as he then punch Hojo straight in the face making him go back 15ft, Inuyasha then use his speed to appear right behind Hojo before he landed on the ground to catch him by the neck. He look Hojo straight into the eyes allowing them to flash red for a minuet as he said the next's words.
"Listen hear you kiss-ass you do not touch my mate, you do not talk my mate, and you sure as hell do not think of her in any way other than if you do not follow these 3 rules you will die. And if you can think you can even ask for her hand in marriage while she pup with my child then I will make sure you will not have children or even be able to be identified as a man when I'm through with you…...Do. you. Under. Stand?" Inuyasha said as his eyes flash even brighter red as Hojo immediately shook his head up in down saying yes while he began to cry. Inuyasha wanted to make sure he got the message as his eyes began to turn into gold again, bring his fist back to once again punch him in the face.
Kagome was shock by what Inuyasha said, but when she saw him about to punch Hojo again she got scared he might kill him.
"Inuyasha" Kagome said, now running towards him. Every one watching expected him to just tell her to shut up while he punch Hojo again, you know the usual bad boyfriend. But to their surprise Inuyasha stop and look at Kagome, Kagome now stood next to him looking at him pleadingly. "Let him go Inuyasha, he didn't mean to make you mad, Okay?" She said while she brought her hand up to lightly touch his arm, Inuyasha barley nodded as he then drop Hojo who was still crying. Kagome then turn to him and gave him the ring, Hojo didn't even stay long enough to say thank you before running off literally crying mommy. Kagome then turn to Inuyasha who surprisingly embrace her while publically hugging her which was kind of a shock coming from Inuyasha.
Inuyasha held her close rubbing her back to sooth her, which it did as he hug him back, Kagome was too caught up from what happen to remember her aching heart. Once Inuyasha felt he had calm down enough he finally move closer to her ear to whisper in it.
"Kagome…..we need to talk, now" Inuyasha whispered, he felt Kagome nod as he let out a small smile to know at least she might give him a chance, that was until he herd one of her 3 'friends' coming closer.
"Kagome, are you okay" Yuka ask, Kagome turn around to see her friends as she relentlessly let go of Inuyasha.
"Ya I'm f-" But she was cut off.
"Come on Kagome, we need to leave before he gets violent" Ayumi whispered while trying to pull her away, but oh no Inuyasha was not having any of it. He grab Yuka hand carefully but quickly and push it away while standing in front of Kagome.
"Actually, me and Kagome have something we need to do" Inuyasha said as he then began to walk away but was stop by the 3 girls.
"Why so you can break her heart again?" Eri ask, Inuyasha stop to turn around and look at the 3 girls who were now yelling at him.
"And beside, she doesn't have to do what you want, she's not your little sex's toy." Yuka snap back, Inuyasha growled but what he said next's Kagome couldn't be more grateful.
"I control her, look who's talking" Inuyasha said to the 3 girls who all had raise eye brows.
"What?" Eri ask, Inuyasha snorted.
"For one I didn't force Kagome into anything, let alone agreeing with me to go home. On the other hand if any one is controlling any one it's you 3 whiny girls." Inuyasha said, the girls gasp.
"We don't control her" Ayumi said back Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Then what do you call it when you say yes to a marriage proposal for your friend when she clearly doesn't want to?" That stop the 3 girls as Inuyasha continued "Or try to set up dates with her when she endlessly told you she doesn't have any feelings for the pussy when you all like him and are to chicken to ask him so you use Kagome as your 'fantasy' girl so you stupid wenches can pretend to go out with him. When in reality your just fucking up her life and trying to make her live a life she could never be in." Inuyasha finish, the girls just stared at him in shock, and realization. Kagome couldn't help but thank Inuyasha, she had so long wanted to say something along the lines like that but didn't want to hurt their feelings. "So until you wenches can figure that out I don't want you any where near Kagome" With the last of Inuyasha anger out for them he turn around to Kagome his features soften as he saw her, and then before Kagome could say a word Inuyasha pick her up bridal style and then carried her to her house, where the fate of their relationship will either stay intact or die. And to answer the question that's been at the back at Kagome mind and all of you readers out there…why did Inuyasha sleep with Kikyo, and what does this have to do with our favorite fox's demon Shippo?
