Bundle of Joy

"Groan..." Inuyasha came to school a dishevelled heap, hair unmanaged, bags under his eyes...he was somewhat reminiscent of a zombie.

Kagome rose an eyebrow. "At least he came to school..."

"Yash, what's up?" Eriko asked, giving him a sidelong glance.

Inuyasha blinked very slowly and then groaned. He walked right past his friends and sat underneath a tree.

Kagome sighed, "I figured he wouldn't be over it."

Everyone cast Kagome a curious glance but she seemed oblivious.

"Hiya Kagome!" her three friends beckoned her over and off she went.

Bankotsu scowled, "There goes our last clue to what the hell is wrong with Inuyasha today."

"He doesn't seem happy," Yuki observed.

"Thank you for that one, Captain Obvious," Sango smiled sarcastically.

"You're welcome!" Yuki gleamed.

Bankotsu shook his head, "Idiot!"

...

Luckily enough for the gang, Inuyasha had chosen to walk around with them in the halls today despite whatever it was that was bugging him. Although he never actually spoke, they could observe his behaviour enough to know that he was seriously depressed. The one drawback to him being around, is that they couldn't ask Kagome what was up with him.

Then it happened. The weirdest thing they had ever seen, even Kagome was thrown off.

"Hi, Inuyasha," Kikyo smiled, obviously over-doing it.

Inuyasha lit up like a Christmas tree. "Hey, Kikyo! Nice day, huh?"

"Yep, definitely a nice day."

He smiled (?!), "Well, see ya later."

"Yep, definitely see ya later!" The instant Kikyo turned away, Inuyasha reverted back to mega-depressed guy.

Kagome sighed, "You know, you probably should've stayed home and spared yourself that."

"Shut up," he grumbled (his first word in ages!), "If I didn't show up today she'd instantly know why. It's better if I pretend that I'm okay with it."

"Better for who?" Kagome challenged.

Inuyasha cast a glance at Kikyo who was chatting up a storm with her friends, smiling as though she hadn't broke up with him just yesterday, "For the only person that matters..."

Kagome rolled your eyes. "Do you really think she wants you straining yourself?"

"Do I seem like I'm straining myself?"

The gang just watched the exchange with interest.

"Just a little bit," Kagome replied sarcastically.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and stood up straighter. "Well, something like this isn't easy to get over, okay? But I know she doesn't want me wallowing in self-pity and depression all day."

"So you pretend that you're happy and completely over it?"

"She knows I'm not over it," Inuyasha answered, "It's just, I have to take it like she does, okay?"

"How does she take it?"

"She...she tries to smile, okay? Her friends don't even know about it, I can tell. Otherwise they'd be shoving tissues in her face and going into 'Are you alright' mode. I just have to act like I understand and let it go."

"But you can't so why lie to her?"

"Because then it's easier for her to deal with it, okay?" Inuyasha snapped, "Just because we're not going out any-"

"OMG! She broke up with you!" Eriko had been merely a spectator up until she heard the magic words.

Sango sighed and turned to Kagome, "How'd he take it?"

"Dude, you're such a loser," Bankotsu replied, "Wah wah...my girlfriend broke up with me wah wah!"

Inuyasha scowled, "Shut up, if you had ever had someone close to you, you'd understand, asshole."

"There, there," Miroku patted Inuyasha on the back, "It'll be alright. If you want I could help you pick out a new one."

Inuyasha shook off Miroku's hand. "She's not a t-shirt, asshole!"

Sango turned to Miroku. "Yeah, how could you say such a thing!"

"Sango, I-I-"

"Save it, jerk!" Sango shoved Miroku to the ground.

"SHE BROKE UP WITH YOU?!" Eriko gasped.

Inuyasha glared at her, "Yes, she did."

"I can't believe you haven't killed yourself yet, you little-" Bankotsu began.

"Shut the hell up, Bank-kot-su!" Inuyasha cut in.

"Don't interrupt me, you never interrupt me!" Bankotsu replied.

"Go to hell, Bankotsu," Inuyasha snapped.

"You stupid perverted jerk!" Sango began pounding her fists on Miroku.

"Sango, I'm sorry!" Miroku replied, "I'm so sorry!"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, FINALLY!" Eriko replied.

Bankotsu whipped around to Eriko. "Would you just shut the hell up? Gawd, you're like-"

"I'm just happy, okay!" Eriko snapped.

"GUYS, STOP THIS FIGHTING! CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S TEARING US APART?!" Yuki cried.

"Shut the hell up, Yuki," the group cried and resumed their screaming.

Kagome took the commotion to tear Inuyasha away from the group so he can take his pain in peace. It was their lunch hour so she took him outside.

"Yash, you okay?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha looked up at her. "If you're asking about with Kikyo breaking up with me, this is the thirteenth time-"

"No, I mean about Eriko and Bankotsu knowing about your break-up, more importantly, Eriko Tenji knowing about your break-up?" Kagome replied.

Inuyasha shrugged, "It was bound to happen anyway. Besides, she knows me well enough to leave me some 'healing time' before setting up any of her stupid plots."

"She seemed pretty excited..." Kagome wasn't convinced.

"She won't be when I shut myself at home and eat ice cream all day," Inuyasha smirked.

Kagome gave him a look. "I thought only girls do that?"

"Huh? Oh...I do that every Saturday," Inuyasha answered, "To get over Kikyo, I just watch action flicks marathons and exercise videos. And eat granola bars and pudding."

"Why?"

"Takes my mind off the bitter loneliness creeping up inside of me," Inuyasha replied in an emo tone and crouched down. (Yes, I just used emo as and adjective in a sentence inside of an actual fanfic, get over it!).

Kagome sat down beside him. "You're not lonely."

Inuyasha gave her an odd glance.

"You've got me –and Mizuko – with you ," Kagome smiled and placed her arm comfortingly around his shoulder.

Inuyasha leaned onto her shoulder. "Yeah, I do, don't I?"

"Don't get too comfortable."

Inuyasha swung up just in time to see Kagome's smile. He glared at her.

"You've got a serious case of heartache, I subscribe lots of light-hearted moments!" Kagome smiled.

Inuyasha glared, "I'm gonna sue you for malpractice one day."

Kagome laughed again.


I know it's been FOREVER since I updated but it isn't my fault, my goddamn laptop wouldn't connect to the internet. But I have been writing so updating will be quicker! Yay! Oh..and brace yourself. Next couple of chapters will be brutal and um...there won't be much humour in the next chapters but it's all for the good of INUKAG!

Thank you for waiting patiently
