Taste Of Love
Kagome ran away from her demanding family and found herself right in the arms of Takahashi Inuyasha. Caught up in his world, it's getting hard for her to leave, for she has had her first taste of love.

Age Brackets: Kagome – 20, Sango – 22, Miroku – 25, Inuyasha – 26

Oh No
Pulling the test out of the tube, Kagome had her eyes closed, not wanting to see the result. Maybe it was too early?... No… her period was already late to almost a week and she had sex during the time she would've been most fertile. Most evidence was pointing to the fact she could be pregnant, despite the fact pregnancy immediately after first-time sex is as low as ten percent.
Kagome was just about to pull the result out of the tube when a knocking echoed throughout her bathroom. Stuffing the pregnancy test in her pant pocket, Kagome washed her hands and fixed up her hair before opening the door, revealing her mother.
"What're you doing dear?" Korari sounded disheartened. "Your father has been calling you for the past ten minutes! Souta said you were in the bathroom."
"Yeah I was uhm… feeling a bit sick." Well it was some-what true. Kagome was feeling sick. Just not the way her mother interpreted her sickness to be.
"Are you okay darling?" Korari's voice instantly went squeaky, a normal mother thing when Kagome's mother got worried. Trying to stop the urge of rolling her eyes, Kagome nodded.
"Yeah I'm fine…"
"Alright! We have a few dresses set up downstairs for you. I want you to pick your favourite for when Naraku comes in two days. Oh lord! My daughter is getting married! This is so exciting!!"
Korari bustled out of the room and Kagome dumbly followed, faintly aware of the pregnancy test digging into her leg like a hook. Kagome tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear as she made it to the base of the stairs and into the living room where her father was bending over three rather exquisite dresses.
"Ah! Kagome… come!"

Inuyasha sat in his bedroom in his real mansion. His mansion was five times bigger than his summerhouse but it felt like a tightly compressed box to him at the moment. In his summerhouse he was filled with light and joy when Kagome came by and poked fun at him. When she called him Casanova every time he referred to her as Mademoiselle. Inuyasha ran his fingers through his hair and didn't hear his door creak open.
"Baby?"
Inuyasha immediately cringed. It was the porn-star. Turning his head to the left, he saw Kikyo standing by the door with a somewhat concerned look on her face. Though it wouldn't ever match up to the concern Kagome has when she gets worried.
"What do you want Kikyo? Can't you see I'm not in the mood?"
"I thought I'd drop by and help you?" Kikyo whispered seductively as she walked towards Inuyasha, swaying her hips in a circular motion. That disgusted Inuyasha. She was trying too hard and that was, to Inuyasha, an amazing turn-off. Kagome was a seducing temptress even when she wasn't trying and that was quite a thing with her added innocence.
Innocence Inuyasha had taken, however, Kagome still walked with her head up high. Proud and mighty… like a lioness perhaps.
"I don't need your help, Kikyo." Inuyasha said in a low voice. He stood up and turned to her, his eyes blood-shot red. "In fact, I don't need you. I would very much appreciate it if you left my house and don't ever return. We're through."
Kikyo's eyes widened big. "Are you- breaking up with me?"
"I think I already did. Now, get out."
"But Inuyasha!!"
"It's Takahashi. Just… I can't stand you right now. Just get out!"
Frowning, Kikyo crossed her arms. "It's of that Ai wannabe isn't it? That girl's godmother made you break up with me! Just because she's fucking Miko doesn't mean I'm nothing! Compared to me she has no attributes."
"She has innocence," Inuyasha snarled, "she doesn't flaunt her ass to the world. Her inner beauty and innocence is what appeals to others, not her fat booty and perky boobs."
"So you find my breasts perky do you?" Kikyo drawled out, obviously missing the point. Inuyasha growled. "Get OUT!!"
Jumping, Kikyo took one step back. "I knew you were going to propose to me." She stated harshly. "I saw the ring in your bedroom back at your summerhouse. I saw the fucking inscription! It said you loved me Inuyasha. But obviously you don't seeing as you haven't proposed to me and that you, with loads of guts I should add, broke up with me!"
"Either you shut your mouth or shut up or the world will have to notice me, personally, kicking you out." Inuyasha just about had enough. Sending Inuyasha one more glare, Kikyo turned around and ran out of the house, obviously shedding fake tears.
Phony. Inuyasha thought to himself as he lay back down on his bed. His thoughts wondering to just one brown-eyed beauty…
Kagome…

Kagome had picked a pale blue dress out of the three choices she had. Her choice of dress had thick straps that connected to a corset looking top. The top connected to a flowing bottom portion which ended just above her ankles. The dress was a plain pale blue colour, save the paisley designs that curled up her top.
Kagome sat in her bedroom, clutching the dress, trying to get her thoughts straightened out. So, here she was picking out a perfect dress to impress Naraku while her friends in Hong Kong are all marveling at the fact they spent almost a month with the famous Miko.
Kagome found the irony thick and useless. While she was readily getting ready to outwardly impress Naraku, inwardly she could be helping to create Inuyasha's first child…
Wait! Kagome put the dress on her bed and pulled out the pregnancy test that had been tucked in her pocket the entire time. Gulping, Kagome glanced at her bedroom door and saw that it was locked. Good. She thought, ready to slip the result out of the tube. Forgetting everything for that moment, forgetting the fact she was going to marry Naraku, that her parents were ready to take control of her life and destroy it, forgetting the fact she was ripped away from where she was truly happy – well, for as long as happiness lasted there anyhow – Kagome's mind was set on just the pregnancy test and Inuyasha.
Gulping, Kagome tried to control her shaky fingers as she slowly started sliding the tube off of the test. The box had said that if there was a single red line it was a negative but if there were two red lines then it meant that it was a positive. Closing her eyes and praying for a single red line, Kagome pulled the entire cover off of the top of the test.
Then she slowly started opening her eyes. The pregnancy test was upside down. Kagome sweat dropped at the entire mood-killer and turned the pregnancy test around, to see the result. Instantly, she felt her blood run cold.
There were two red lines.
Oh no…

Sango picked up her ringing phone and pressed it against her ear. "Hello?"
"Sango!"
Sango's breath hitch-hiked as she turned around and gripped the phone tightly against her ear. She hadn't heard that voice in five days and it was internally killing her. But now that she heard her best friend's voice, Sango had wished she didn't.
Sango had started crying.
"Oh my god, Kagome!"
"Hey I can't talk for long. I used the excuse of going out with Souta and made it to a payphone. You have to listen to me carefully."
"Alright." Sango went into serious mode now, hearing the urgency in Kagome's tone. There was some rustling and some whispering on Kagome's end.
"Anybody here Souta?"
"No, not yet. Just continue talking."
"Alright… Sango you still there?"
"Yeah I am, continue."
Kagome shifted so that her back was pressed against the phone booth. They were inside of a mall and Souta had a hat on along with sunglasses, trying to keep his identity to a minimum. They had brought a lot of money along with them, in case they were caught by somebody, Kagome and Souta could use the excuse of buying self props for his latest movie.
"Okay. Remember the night we all got drunk at Ai's birthday party? You and Miroku left me and Inuyasha alone because you got tired or something?"
"…Yeah…" Sango slowly drew out. Kagome gulped.
"Okay well… that night instead of finding my bedroom, I found myself in Inuyasha's bedroom and he found his way under my clothes and in between my legs and in the morning we found that we were nakedly sleeping beside each other…"
Sango was silent for a few moments before exploding. "YOU TWO HAD SEX?!"
Kagome cracked a small smile. "Glad you caught on Sherlock."
"Oh my god! No wonder you two were so hostile that morning! Unwanted sex… shit… I'm going to kill that fucker for taking your virginity! Ughh! Just wait till Miroku and Kouga find out!"
"No, no!" Kagome whispered urgently. "You have to promise not to tell anybody."
"And why the hell not? That asshole is going to DIE!"
"Sango listen to me!" Kagome was dreading what she was going to say next. Sango sounded like she was panting and Kagome felt like falling into a ditch right at that moment and never climbing out.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant…"
-x-
Sango was shocked. No, shocked wasn't the right word… she was… SHOCKED. Her best friend, the ever innocent Kagome, always claiming she would have sex with the man she knew she was going to spend the rest of her life with not only had prenuptial sex but she was also pregnant with the first child of the world renown Takahashi Inuyasha.
Now that was a shocker.
"PREGNANT?!" Sango shrieked. "YOU'RE PREGNANT? WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT?"
"Less than an hour ago. Shh, Sango listen I don't have time—Souta who's that?"
"Nobody, don't worry just finish talking!" Kagome had already explained everything to Souta and, much to her surprise; her brother was calm about the whole thing. He had given her the idea of notifying Hong Kong.
"I just thought I'd tell you. Best friend and all. If my parents find out before I marry Naraku, just file a case against them for two murders in one—I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die by the hands of my beloved father."
"Kagome! Be serious!"
"I am serious. You're a lawyer so you do my case." Kagome snorted at her own stupid joke. "Whatever. Just don't tell anybody. Ayame can know but nobody else. I don't want Inuyasha finding out either."
"Why? It's his kid!"
"It was uncommitted sex." Kagome muttered dryly. "You think I feel bad? His first child is going to be fathered by Naraku, and as much as I hate Inuyasha right now, I don't think he deserves to get such a sick blow."
"Kagome…" Sango started, ready to lecture her best friend but…
"Kagome it's the driver!" Souta hissed as Kagome gulped
"Sorry Sango! I have to go. Bye!"
"KAGOME!" Sango roared but the line was dead, a beeping sound telling Sango to hang up. Sango dropped the phone on the receiver, cursing to herself silently.
Not tell Inuyasha my ass. Sorry Kagome, some promises are just meant to be broken…Sango thought to herself as she picked up the phone and dialed Inuyasha's number. After a few rings, he picked up.
"Hello?"
"It's Sango. Come over, now."

Miroku had come home from work early that day due to a malfunction in the hospital. Luckily, the patients weren't all that serious and they were given priority to the other doctors at the clinic Miroku usually worked at. Just as Miroku entered his house, so did Inuyasha.
"Hey man, what're you doing here?" Miroku raised a brow and Inuyasha shrugged.
"Your wife called me, she sounded desperate."
Miroku frowned as he walked into his house. He found Sango sitting on the sofa, her head in her hands and he, slowly, walked towards her.
"Sango?"
She looked up, her face red and puffy from crying. Miroku instantly jumped and rushed to her side. "What happened?"
"Him," Sango hissed as she pointed at Inuyasha who drew back one step.
"Him?" Miroku raised a brow.
"He has the highest alcohol tolerance yet he comfortably took Kagome to his bedroom. He has the most self control yet he expertly undressed Kagome. He has a girlfriend yet he was unhesitant to take Kagome's virginity."
Miroku's eyes widened as he whirled onto Inuyasha.
"You slept with Kagome?"
Inuyasha was in much shock as Miroku was.
How'd Sango…find… He clued in as his eyes widened immediately.
"Sango…?" Inuyasha whispered as Sango's tears were afresh.
"Kagome just called from a phone booth…"
Miroku looked at his wife, his eyes widening as he figured out what was happening.
"Inuyasha," Sango's voice cracked, "Kagome's pregnant with your kid…"

Kagome being pregnant is cliché, yes, but sometimes without cliché, you just can't seem to get an aspect of your story right. If Kagome wasn't pregnant then the second half of this story wouldn't flow at all.
Cliché to get Originality. In today's fanfiction world you can't write a cliché story… everywhere you go, cliché is going to bite your butt. If you can't beat cliché, join it.
