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.

My Wife

"Inuyasha," Sango's voice cracked, "Kagome's pregnant with your kid…"

Pregnant with your kid.

Pregnant.

With your kid.

Your kid…

Kid…

"She's what?!" Inuyasha drawled out in a shocked and unreadable voice. Sango had tears in her eyes as Miroku hugged her, his own shock penetrating his body. Miroku housed a sudden urge to fist his hand and punch Inuyasha in the face. Repeatedly.

"Pregnant with your kid." Sango repeated as she rubbed her eyes, not wanting to cry at that moment. She was angry at Inuyasha. A loathing hatred erupted in the pit of her stomach as she felt the urge to stab Inuyasha with a very sharp knife. Repeatedly.

"That can't be…" Inuyasha whispered as Miroku jumped off his wife and gripped Inuyasha by the collar of his shirt. Inuyasha was too shocked to realize what Miroku was doing as a distant look overcame his eyes.

"Can't be?" Miroku hissed. "Can't be? That girl was waiting to have sex with the man she knew she was going to be with for the rest of her life and you just say it can't fucking be? You know as well as I do that Kagome was a virgin that night but instead of just popping her cherry," Miroku spat out with venom, "you've made her pregnant!"

Inuyasha, in all his honesty, had no reply. He could've made a witty remark and shut Miroku up for good but he hadn't. Words fleeted him as he blinked multiple times. Slowly, Miroku released Inuyasha's collar.

"Is he alive?" Sango inquired, standing up and walking towards Inuyasha. Miroku waved a hand in front of Inuyasha's face and he snapped back to reality.

"It's not like I wanted to make that wench pregnant." Inuyasha attempted to defend his manliness. Unfortunately for him, he was up against Miroku; a man that had infinite knowledge on manliness.

"Oh yeah!!" Miroku sarcastically rolled his eyes. "We all know you just wanted unconventional sex because you're so sick of Kikyo! A new girl with the body of a virgin that's just a summer love… need I say more? Get her drunk and fuck her good till her legs are sore and then go back to Kikyo… ever think she'd suffer extreme consequences?" Thank God Ai was in the shower…

"Don't you ever say she was just a summer thing." Inuyasha hissed. "She was not."

"Oh really?" Miroku was doing all of the yelling and Sango was quite glad. Despite her uncontained anger, she was tired and not in the mood to lecture Inuyasha on his eccentric behavior.

"Damn!" Inuyasha cursed. "She was not a fucking summer thing. Do you want me to display it on a dunce cap in my next press conference? Higurashi Kagome was not a summer thing!"

"Then what was she?" Sango screamed out in hysteria, "Just a Kikyo look-a-like with the body of a damned model? What was she Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha obviously had no answer as he hung his head. Kagome was pregnant with his kid…

His kid…

I'm gonna be…a daddy? It struck Inuyasha like a cord… he was gonna be a father. Completely shocking Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha cracked a goofy grin.

"I'm gonna be a dad?"

"Yes smartness and Kagome's going to go marry Naraku now. You happy now?" Sango snarled, a faint headache coming on. Miroku was rubbing his wife's back, his anger never decapitating for the business tycoon standing in front of him.

Inuyasha's eyes snapped open. "She's WHAT?"

Sango nodded. "That's why she came to Hong Kong in the first place but her parents took her back to marry that buffoon."

"I know that but if she's fucking pregnant with my kid, why the hell would she still go on and marry that gang raping bitch?" Inuyasha roared his anger surfacing. That caused Miroku to get even more annoyed.

"Oh I don't know," Miroku started, sarcasm dripping from his tone, "maybe because you were fucking her one night, definitely not caring the next day and now not even going after her in the week she's been gone. She's emotional, confused and definitely not thinking like herself."

"I told Sango I wanted fake wedding certificates so I can get Kagome back." Inuyasha murmured dryly and Miroku's eyes flashed

"I don't care if you were gonna revive Gandhi and dance the Macarena with him! Kagome doesn't know does she? She's gonna sign her life off to the damn devil while she's pregnant with your kid! How the hell do you think she feels?" Miroku was on a roll and may he be damned if he stopped then.

"Kagome said you didn't deserve it." Sango whispered and both men looked at her.

"What?" Inuyasha raised a brow.

"She said you didn't deserve such an insult to injury. To know that your first born child was being raised by a man like Naraku. Kagome said that no matter what she felt about you, she didn't think you deserved that." Sango whispered as Miroku's anger flared. Inuyasha swore he saw the energy around Miroku move…

"She still thinks about you and cares about you." Miroku hissed. "After what you did to her, she still cares about you… that is what you call a woman."

Inuyasha ignored Miroku as he glanced at Sango.

"When is the latest you can get me those documents. I need to get to Kagome fast."

Sango nodded, seriousness taking over. "Tomorrow night, latest."

Inuyasha nodded as he glanced at Miroku. "Listen, I didn't mean to fuck up her life that bad but I'm trying to make it better."

Miroku had nothing to say as Inuyasha turned around and left the house. Sango collapsed into Miroku's arms.

"Why Kagome?" Sango sobbed. "Out of all of us, why is her life so messed up?"

Miroku had nothing to say as he held onto his wife…

Souta and Kagome sat in Kagome's bedroom, Souta occasionally glancing at his sister's stomach. Such good news –the fact he was going to be an uncle and his sister a mother- was tainted by the fact that a) their father hated Takahashi Inuyasha and b) Naraku was supposed to marry Kagome.

"What did Sango say?" Souta asked after a long comfortable silence. Kagome looked up at her brother and shrugged.

"Don't know. She sounded pissed off at Inuyasha, that's for sure."

"Obviously," Souta said in a low voice, "I wanna rip his hair out after what he did to you. Then serve it on a silver platter and force feed his hair…"

"Not so much of a threat Souta." Kagome smiled but Souta shrugged.

"Trust me, it will be painful."

Kagome lay back down on her bed and placed a hand on her stomach, obviously not really used to the fact that she was going to be a mother. She was pregnant at the age of twenty with the child of the most wanted bachelor, seven times awarded Most Good looking Man, one of the richest, most influential and who could forget the biggest business tycoon in the world.

At least the kid will be fully supported. Kagome thought ruefully. When Inuyasha finds out about his child that is… I know for a fact he adores babies so… maybe his own will mean more?

Kagome didn't know what to expect from him. He could be angry, perhaps ecstatic? Who knew…

"What're you gonna do about it?" Souta whispered to his sister who frowned.

"No idea. I told Sango not to tell Inuyasha but I really don't know what she's gonna do. Things involving a newborn life… she has a completely different view on them. Maybe she told Inuyasha…" Kagome shrugged. "All I know is that I have to get married to that… thing…" Kagome spat out thing like it was the worst of the swearwords in existence.

"You don't have to." Souta shrugged. "Just burn him on the alter and say NO MOTHER FUCKER instead of saying I Do." Souta sniggered. "I swear Nee-chan, if you do that; I will lick your shoes clean!"

Kagome giggled as she sat up and hugged her brother tightly. "I have no idea what I'd do without you kiddo."

Souta sighed as he hugged his sister back. "You don't deserve all this shit Nee-chan." Souta murmured. "You deserve so much better… when we were kids, remember how Mother and Father used to be out all the time? You were always there for me… going to school performances, staying on movie sets… with your mask on of course."

Kagome giggled as she pulled back. "This is why I think you're siding with me more than you're siding with our parents."

"They have no right to tell you who you have to marry! Do they even know Naraku gang raped his last wife?"

"He did not." Came a strong voice from behind Kagome's door. Souta's eyes widened as he jumped up and unlatched the door, revealing their father.

"How long were you there for?" Kagome asked, not wanting her father to know about Inuyasha.

"Long enough to know that you heard the rumours about Naraku's last wife," Akira smiled warmly.

So he didn't hear that I'm pregnant… Kagome though, quite relieved.

"Those were all rumours." Akira spoke loudly, "Naraku didn't gang rape his last wife. She needed an excuse to divorce him and what could be better than to use the excuse of gang raping? Honestly, women should know their place…" Akira turned around and walked away.

When Kagome and Souta knew the coast was clear, Kagome shot out a loud and very vulgar word, causing Souta to jump and scramble away from his sister.

"I met the woman he gang raped! She was so out of it! It didn't even seem like she was acting!"

"Obviously dad wouldn't want to believe his son-in-law was so messed up." Souta rolled his eyes. "C'mon," Souta stood up, "let's go eat. I don't want my nephew to starve."

"Excuse me?" Kagome teased. "She's so gonna be a girl!"

Laughing, the two siblings went off to eat some food.

The following evening Inuyasha sat in his study room, looking over some pictures of Miko. A pang filled Inuyasha's chest as he realized that Miko and Kagome did look extremely alike if one should look close enough.

Another thing he noticed was that in the pictures Kagome wasn't really smiling, just posing… back at his summerhouse Kagome smiled and laughed from her soul… something Inuyasha would kill to see again.

He had fallen deeply in love.

Sighing, Inuyasha dropped the pictures and stood up, turning to leave the room but found Sango leaning against the doorframe.

"Sango?" Inuyasha raised a brow but she didn't say anything. Sango took three steps forward and stood directly in front of Inuyasha who seemed confused. Sango held out a folder.

"Here." Sango murmured.

Inuyasha took the folder from Sango's hand and opened it. It was the marriage certificate of Higurashi Kagome and Takahashi Inuyasha. Sango had taken the liberty of forging Kagome's signature. Inuyasha's signature was still needed. Apparently, somehow, Sango got the signature of the one who performed the ceremony as well.

Pulling a pen out of his pocket, Inuyasha signed his marriage certificate and winced inwardly. This was not how he wanted his first marriage to go, despite the fact him and Kagome weren't married at all…

"And here," Sango pulled something out of her back pocket and handed it to Inuyasha. "I took the liberty of using your name to buy you a ticket to Japan. Flight's for seven in the morning tomorrow so be ready. I want my best friend back in Hong Kong in one piece… with her husband."

Inuyasha understood what that meant and nodded as Sango turned around and left. Looking down at the folder and the ticket to Japan, Inuyasha walked out of his study room to head to his bedroom. He had to get some packing done before he went to get his wife.

Oh don't worry Kagome, Inuyasha thought dangerously to himself as he pulled out a duffle bag from the closet to put some clothes in, I am not gonna let you marry Naraku while you are with my kid. Whether you like it or not

-x-

Two days couldn't have been faster for the Higurashi family. It was the day Naraku's family came to finalize the wedding between Kagome and Naraku and personally, Kagome felt like jumping on a tree and running away again.

Too bad her father had set up security guards by every window and by every door in the entire house. Wearing the dress that Kagome had chosen to wear for Naraku, she left her bedroom, her eyes downcast. It was 6pm and it had been two days since she had spoken to Sango.

No contact to the outside world either. After that day, Souta and Kagome decided not to risk Kagome's cover by going to another payphone. Sango knowing meant Ayame knew and that was all Kagome really wanted; her two best friends knowing.

Walking down the stairs in that dress, Kagome winced at the tightness of the torso portion. Something she shouldn't wear while she's pregnant, despite the fact she was only, about what? A week into pregnancy?

Still, it was still Kagome's baby and even if the child was one week in Kagome's womb or nine months… it was still the same.

Kagome made it to the base of the stares and was instantly greeted by a greasy Naraku and his parents, Hiroshi and Setsuna. Kagome bowed and sat down beside her brother who, subtly, held Kagome's hand in some sort of reassurance.

"She's a child," Setsuna spoke up before anybody can say anything, "she has her phases. She'll soon realize that my son is the best choice for her."

I'd rather marry Inuyasha! Kagome thought disgustedly to herself as Souta squeezed her hand again.

"I appreciate your optimism Setsuna," Korari smiled, "and I do agree with you. We couldn't have found a better man for my daughter."

"Kagome dear," Setsuna glanced at Kagome, "do you have anything to say?"

"MASTER AKIRA!" A security man ran inside but he was instantly shoved aside by a rather ticked off looking…

"Inuyasha?!" Kagome stood up, her eyes wide.

"Kagome might not have anything to say," Inuyasha snarled as he approached Kagome, "but I do."

"You have no right to be in my house!" Akira stood up moving to grab his daughter but Inuyasha snaked his arm around Kagome's waist and somehow moved her behind him.

"And you have no right to force my wife to commit polygamy."

Everybody stopped breathing as Kagome slowly looked up at Inuyasha who was glaring at her family.

"I'm here to take my wife back to Hong Kong."
