A/N: Revised 6/3/2016, I wanna complete this story, I have an outline for a 29-30 chapter story and although I took an 18 month hiatus, I do want to finish. This story holds value for me, as it was one of the first things I worked on when I got out of high school.
The Talk
I sat back down on the stark white hospital room. It reminded me how clean and generic a hospital can be. Void of all the colors and vibrancy of life. I never really took the time to look around the room and analyze what I had. Such a small room, a tiny bed, one dingy bathroom, and the rest of the space for the machines.
Then I noticed, nestled beside a spare chair in the corner was a brown corded landline. I hadn't forgotten Kagura's advice from this morning. I lifted the phone as to call out, but the only numbers I knew by heart are Mom's and Inuyasha's. I decided to do what was best and call Inuyasha, after all he's done for me, that's the least that I owe him.
"Hello" He chirped, his tone was short and harsh. I felt bad all of a suddenly, as if I made a mistake in calling. I almost hung up the phone but I decided not to chicken out.
"'ello" I responded breathlessly, suddenly it was as if I had no voice left in me. I could hear Inuyasha's breath change.
"Kagome?" He replied, sounding thoroughly shocked. I could hear shuffling and a door close. I was hoping I had caught him at a decent time.
"Yes" was all I managed to eek out. My heart was beating uncontrollably.
"Keh, I never expected you to call…are you ok?" He asked. He sounded panicked at my long delays over the phone.
"Yes, I'm fine. The doctors are going to discharge me tomorrow. I was wondering if you can drive me home" I lied, I knew Mama would instead.
"Of course, Kags, what time are they releasing you" He asked, sounding rather calm now.
"I'm not sure, I'll ask again tonight. How have you been?" I asked, but before he could answer I heard, muffled but still legible.
"Inuyasha, Yasha, where are you?" Izayoi called. I got nervous, remembering our last horrible interaction and threw the phone down on the receiver, ending the call.
I realized moments later that he couldn't call me back, I gave him no return number. But it didn't matter, he'd come regardless. I picked up the phone again to dial Mama to let her know I wasn't going to need a ride tomorrow.
"Kagome, a Ms. Sango Tajiya is in the lobby asking to see you. We didn't recognize her and we wanted to make sure she's not a friend of Ayame Wolf's. In case she is here to hurt you. Do you know her?" A nurse asked. I got up, and was afraid. Sango had taken Yura's side and caused me pain for things that I had no control over.
I got over to the door and peered down the hallway. I saw Sango wearing a black t-shirt and gray sweats.
"Yes I know her" I turned to the nurse and said. She waved her hands out to security guard who was keeping Sango trapped down the hall. Sango stormed up the hall in a flurry. But I stood blocking the doorway to my room.
"Kags…I heard what happened to you and I'm so sorry. I never knew Ayame was that crazy" She said, worry written across her face. I could tell she was sincere or at least I had hoped, I moved away from the door and headed inside.
"Why do you care? Why aren't you with Yura?" I demanded, hobbling back onto the bed. My ankles were throbbing from being on my feet too long, I suppose.
"Yura and I were wrong. I never should have told the school you were raped, I know how hard it was for you to go through that. My mom got a call from your mom after that fight we had…I got chewed out. Yura showed me her true colors…" Sango trailed off, she sat in the spare chair near the corded phone.
"What do you mean 'true colors?'" I asked.
"She and Naraku ran off a while ago, the police are looking for them for their role in Ayame's incident" Sango confessed.
"Oh wow, well I guess they were made for each other" I chuckled. Sango even cracked a meager smile. It almost felt like old times, but then Sango's face grew tight and serious.
"Can you ever forgive me, Kags? I know I was wrong but I wanna be here for you, Inuyasha, and the baby" Sango begged.
"I'm not sure if Inuyasha and I can handle this baby together" I confessed.
"Why do you say that? Didn't he beat Naraku up for you? Didn't he take care of you when your mom was busy working? I heard he and his mother got kicked out of the Taisho manor because he refused to go along with his Dad's contract" Sango said.
"What contract?" I questioned,
"Rumor has it that his Dad wanted him to go off to boarding school until he finishes high school so he can move on from you. Inuyasha refused so his dad disowned him and kicked him out. His mom refused to be anywhere without her son so they're staying in the Hilton hotel downtown" Sango continued.
"Oh my gosh, all that because of me…" I whimpered, grasping the edges of my rounded belly. I could feel the baby slosh around inside at the thought of Inuyasha.
"May I?" Sango gestured, hands reaching out towards me. I nodded slowly. She placed her hand calmly on my belly. Unfortunately little Keiko or Keitaro stopped moving, not use to her voice and her being around me. The baby could pick up on my moods.
"I'll let you know next time the baby moves" I murmured, Sango reluctantly removed her had from my stomach.
"I'll prove it to you…how sorry I am. Give me a ring once you're released, we can talk about it more" Sango insisted.
"Ok, I will. I've got to call Inuyasha back anyways, I kind of hung up on him" I said sadly. I didn't have a chance to ask Sango to leave because he was there
"Kind of...?" Inuyasha said, his hand draped lifelessly against the door frame. He made it to the hospital in record time.
"Ms. Higurashi can only have one guest at a time, she is supposed to be resting" the nurse gently urged. Inuyasha was about to retort to the nurse but...
"I was just leaving" Sango announced. She was moving towards the door but I reached my arm out to her. She walked over to the bed, leaned in and gave me a tight hug. A real hug with both arms involved, her hair smashed in my face.
"Bye Sango" I said in her ear through the mound of hair, hoping all she confessed to me was the truth. With Yura and Naraku out of the picture, all I had left was Ayame to stress over. I wonder where that crazy wolf went.
With Sango gone, it left only me and Inuyasha, I hadn't seen him since I first entered the hospital days ago.
"You hung up on me…" Inuyasha began.
"I heard Izayoi in the background and got scared" I apologized. I knew it was a weak apology.
"Why are you so afraid? My mom was just checking up on me. She knows you and I still talk" Inuyasha continued.
"Did you two move into a hotel?" I asked, recalling Sango's story.
"Who told you that?" He stammered. So I knew Sango's story was at least halfway true. Point for Sango!
"Rumors are going around school, is it true?" I insisted.
"Don't worry about any of that right now. How is the baby?" Inuyasha quickly changed the subject.
"The baby is fine, no damage done. We'll be out of here tomorrow" I answered politely.
"Did they ever catch Ayame?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Not yet, I haven't gotten any updates from the police" I said, I sat back on the bed and fiddled with my hair a bit.
"If I see that wench, I'ma kill her" He said, face enraged.
"Don't worry about her, she won't be able to hurt me anymore" I insisted, trying to soothe her anger.
"I don't want a third person to be affected by Sesshomaru" He continued, stuck on this train of thought.
"Third?" I demanded. According to Ayame, I'm aware Sesshomaru raped her but who else…
"Kikyo…I always felt that bastard did something to drive her to suicide"
"Why don't you ever talk to me about her? She was your first girlfriend, right?"
"She was, something like that. She just offed herself and it was never explained" Inuyasha said, tense.
"Maybe HE raped her too…" I said carelessly.
"No!" He shouted, gaining the attention of the nurses gathered together in the hallway. He must have realized that he was a little bit out of line, because he took a few moments to gather his composure.
"None of that matters" He said shortly.
"I suppose not…I'm just glad you came" I cooed, so excited to be reunited.
"Keh, don't get all sappy on me. Last time I came, you and Mama Higurashi didn't want me here" Inuyasha scoffed.
"I was confused and in a lot of pain, Yash. I'm sorry. I know you sacrificed so much for me", my eyes were watering uncontrollably and I was profusely trying to wipe away those unshed tears. I just knew in any moment that I would start crying.
"Don't cry" Inuyasha said, coming onto the bed. I leaned my head against his right shoulder, my tears staining up his shirt, I could feel his cheek resting against the top of my head.
"Kags…" He said softly. I leaned up, straightening all the way so I could sit up, blinking away any remaining tears to meet Inuyasha's eyes.
"Yash?" I replied, unable to read his current emotional state. His head moved down slowly until his lips captured mine. At first, I was stunned, this was only our second kiss since I was with him. But it felt good, way better than our first kiss. I slowly started moving my mouth in turn with his, my tongue longing to roam new and exciting territory. I licked at the outside of his bottom lip, begging him to part his luscious lips a little. Inuyasha complied, his tongue darting out first, beating me with the battle of the tongues.
I started to lay back against the slightly propped up bed to allow Inuyasha better access to my mouth. Inuyasha's hands were reaching for my hair, yanking my head backwards. I could see that look in his eyes, like he had found something in me that excited him. His mouth latched onto my lower lip biting it gently and causing me to feel something totally new. It was as if my body was on fire and a strange tingling sensation jolted through me from my head to my toes.
"Ms. Higurashi…I wanted to talk to you about your discharge for tomorrow" The doctor came in. Inuyasha immediately let go of my hair and sat down beside me.
"Hi doctor, sorry about all this" I blushed, feeling so embarrassed. Inuyasha had a smug grin on his face.
"I just wanted to let you two know that both you and the little one are one hundred percent ok," The doctor then turned to Inuyasha, "So if you'd like to take your girlfriend home today, you can" He offered. Inuyasha's eyes lit up.
"Does my Mom have to sign to release me?" I asked.
"Your mom has already phoned in, she'll drop by after work tonight to sign you out. She's given permission for this young man to take you home if you rather not wait for her" The doctor advised.
"Thank you doc, I'll take real good care of her" Inuyasha grinned, his hand finding its way to my knee. The doctor smiled politely then. I felt embarrassed to be caught by a doctor acting like a harlot.
"Where did we leave off? Inuyasha said, his voice husky. But I turned away from him.
"Not here, I can't handle anyone else walking in here…plus…maybe we're moving too fast" I hesitated. Inuyasha looked away from me in a hurry then he got up.
"I'll get the car ready so I can take you home" He said.
"My house or your hotel room?" I laughed.
"Mom and I only spent one night in the hotel; Dad made us come back home after that. Mom won't mind if you stay a few hours but you can't sleep over. Would you want to come over?" He offered.
"Yeah, just let me call my mom first, ok?" I agreed.
"Whatever, Ima grab some grub from the cafeteria, need anything?" Inuyasha asked, trying to give me some privacy.
"Orange juice, if they have any. Thanks!" I squealed. Inuyasha trotted off down the hall and I moved over to the phone to call Mom. I was sure she was worried.
"Ma…" I figured that she only had a few more moments on her lunch break from work
"Yes, I called the doctor, they'll release you tonight. I'll be off in a couple hours and then sign for you" Mom responded.
"I'm going to Yasha's house to stay for a few hours" I informed her.
"You sure? I know Inu no Taisho will be home" Mama sounded worried. I could hear noise in the background, confirming she was really at work. Now I question everything about everyone.
"Inuyasha claims everything will be ok. Plus we have a lot to talk about" I reassured her.
"I can come pick you up after I go to the hospital. Just be sure he texts me the address" Mom said.
"Of course mama. I love you" I said softly.
"Love you too Kagome" She said abruptly before she hung up.
I sat patiently in the chair, waiting for Inuyasha to come back. I was ready to be free of my hospital robe and non-slip socks. I pulled the curtain up over the blinds and began to slide out of my drawstring back-less gown. Hospital rules gave me some ugly granny panties and nothing else beneath that itchy pale gown.
"Kags, all they had was orange juice with pulp, hope you don't mind" Inuyasha said, barging in on me. And there I was fumbling with my neon pink bra.
"Inuyasha" I squealed. Turning around to face the opposite wall. I guess there's no point in modesty since he already had me once before.
"Sorry" He grunted, not moving a muscle.
"Help me find the rest of my clothes" I demanded, hooking my arms through the bra straps and trying to reach behind myself to hook it closed.
"I'll do it" Inuyasha said, coming up behind me and grabbing both ends of the bra and get it to stay hooked. I spun around once he let me go, missing his touch. Despite all we're been through, all I've been through, I finally wasn't afraid anymore.
I started at him, at his eyes, at his mouth, and I couldn't feel myself longing to take back the words "too fast".
"What?" Inuyasha barked.
I stood up, slightly on my tippy-toes, and planted a chaste kiss on his lips. When he did respond, I planted another kiss and another, until he finally stopped me.
"What's the matter?" I whispered.
"Put your clothes on, we need to leave" He said gruffly, taking another seat in the chair. I threw on a faded sports tank top and gym shorts, I hadn't had a chance to find appropriate attire for pregnancy.
"Inuyasha, wait…tell me what's wrong" I demanded, standing in front of him, wedged between his legs.
"I don't want to take advantage of you" Inuyasha began.
"You're not, I know I said it's too fast but it's not too fast, I like what we did earlier" I said, hoping he would not let me deter him.
"I'm going to pull the car around front" He said suddenly, moving around me and disappearing outside of the door. I said goodbye to all the nurses and one got an attendant to grab the wheelchair and wheel me to the car.
Inuyasha was sitting stoically in the front seat and I climbed into the passenger seat with no issues, putting my seatbelt on.
"Thank you" I said, but all he did was grunt in response. He pulled away from the curb and sped down the street to his house. When we got to his house, he came to my side and opened the door. I could not get him to act normally after the incident in the hospital.
"Mom, I'm home" He shouted once we stepped foot in the house. He waited a few seconds for a response before he started searching the house.
"Guess no one is home…" He shrugged, then took me up to his bedroom. I was feeling confused but happy to finally be out of that hospital room.
"So…now what" I asked, motioning him to come join me on his queen sized bed. He sat beside me, but did not touch me. Which despite his attitude, was all I wanted. The touch of his lips on me, he was so gentle, so sweet, it just turned me into pudding.
"Inuyasha, I like you" I confessed, tired of the eerie silence.
"Keh, not anything I didn't already know" He retorted.
"And I want you" I continued, pushing him back playfully. Inuyasha allowed this, continuing back until his back rested against the headboard. I scooted over towards him, crawling up his legs and straddling him. His eyes were wide but he didn't say anything. I leaned down cupping both sides of his face with my hands and kissing him hard in the mouth.
That must have been the spark that both of us needed because he responded by parting his lips and allowing my tongue to explore his mouth. His hands were groping my hips and I could tell he was inching to do more, I sat back up and rolled off of him, sitting off to his side.
"Have your way with me" I urged, pulling my tank top over my head. Inuyasha sat up, his mouth latching onto the most sensitive skin on my body, my neck. He was suckling as if he would draw water out of my skin and it felt amazing. I gasped at the action and leaned back on my arms so I could be expose my neck to him. He quickly moved down from my neck, leaving a little trail of kisses from my neck down to the tops of my breasts, the small area of flesh not covered by my troublesome bra.
"Take it off" He said huskily, and I unsnapped those hooks and threw it to the side hastily. He continued his trail of sexy soft kisses down my body, all the way down to the edge of my pants. I took the pressure off my arms and laid flat on my back, arching my hips so he could move and take my pants and those ugly granny panties off.
"Do you…have a condom?" I questioned, thinking that now was going to be the big moment.
"Duh!" He chuckled. His head disappeared beneath my belly and I could no longer see him. I felt him spread my legs apart and the warmth of his breath was on my inner thigh. My precious sex was growing moist by the thought of his mouth during wondrous things to me.
I could feel his lips on my thighs, kissing, suckling, nibbling, and it was driving me crazy. It took all my strength not to force his head right onto my sex to get the relief I needed for the pressure that was slowly building up in me.
"Inuyasha, please!" I begged, the teasing was driving me absolutely insane. When I finally felt the first lap of his tongue against my pleasure spot, I squirmed against the touch, my fingers intertwined in his hair. He must have noticed how much I loved it because he kept going.
"Oh, oh, oh yes!" I squealed, my hands letting go of his silverfish hair and grabbing onto my own nipples, tweaking them ever so softly, upping the pressure I could feel wanting to burst between my legs.
"Ready for me?" Inuyasha asked, he was now visible and reaching for what I figured was a stash of condoms.
"Yes" I moaned. He rolled on one condom and then pushed his rock hard length against my opening. Despite not being a virgin, it was initially an uncomfortable experience.
Inuyasha gritted his teeth and once he was fully inside, remained absolutely still.
"Is this position ok?" He asked, referring to my baby bump. I was not sure if any position would be adequate for me so I shook my head. He grabbed me by both of my ankles until my butt was on the edge of the bed, then he resumed his actions.
"You can move, its fine" I gestured by wiggling my hips slightly against him. He held my legs apart, by the ankles and began thrusting into me, slowly at first until he picked up the motion.
"Mhmmm, yes, yes, faster" I cried out, that familiar status of pressure building once again inside of me. He was thrusting so fast, I could hear the smacking sound of us colliding with each other which for some reason was really turning me on. Inuyasha released one of my ankles to reach down to my bundle of nerves and began rubbing in small little circles and that's when I felt pleasurable waves pulse from my sex through the rest of my body. Inuyasha must have finished moments after me because he rolled off the bed and threw the condom into the trash.
"Oh my god, that was…" but a sharp knock at the door cut us off.
"Are you two decent?" Izayoi asked, obviously making it awkward for all of us involved.
"No, ma, not yet"
"Once you both are fully dressed, your father and I would like to speak with you both in the parlor room"
"Yes ma, coming" Inuyasha responded, not moving at all from where he was.
Once I was sure she was gone…"Hehe, yeah you did" I giggled. Inuyasha blushed despite trying to give me a stern look.
