Inuyasha pulled his car in front of Kagome's house. It was almost four in the morning. He sighed deeply and looked at her.
"Here we are."
"Do you want to come in Inuyasha?" she asked blushing a little.
"Sure." He replied as they both got out of the car. They made a few steps when Kagome stopped. She saw a shadow sitting on her front steps.
"Inuyasha…" she murmured as she tugged on his sleeve. "There is someone there."
The shadow got up and approached them.
"Kelly? What the hell are you doing here?" He asked coldly. The young girl stopped just in front of Inuyasha, tears washing her flushed cheeks.
"Inuyasha, I have something to tell you."
"We have nothing to say anymore. We're finished. I am with Kagome."
The sobs of the young girl increased. Kagome looked away. She felt pity for Kelly but Inuyasha was her everything. She could never let him go, never. She loved him. She gave her body and her heart to please him. He was hers. Her thoughts were interrupted by Kelly's voice.
"You have to hear me Inuyasha, please."
"There is nothing to say! Kelly, we were a mistake and prolonging this mistake would be pure torture. Now go to your house."
"I knew you will be here. I waited for hours!" she yelled trying to hug him but he shoved her away.
"You should be aware that I don't like to be harassed Kelly. You're young and life is yours. Enjoy it and forget about me."
"I can't. I love you. Inuyasha, I have something to tell you."
"I don't want to hear it!" He yelled back. "I don't feel anything for you. There is nothing between us anymore."
Kelly smirked between her tears.
"Really?" she asked, placing a hand on her stomach. "Are you sure about that Inuyasha?
"Yes I am."
"Well, I think that you should know the truth."
"The truth?" Kagome asked, feeling a dangerous smirk on Kelly's lips.
"Yes the truth. I am pregnant with your child Inuyasha."
Kagome felt that her whole world collapsed in front of her. She could hear her heart beating in her ears, her breath hitching and her legs shacking under her weight.
"What?" Inuyasha murmured, looking at the girl in front of him. Kelly started crying again. She was horrible. She knew that this baby was Naraku's but she could not be a single mum. Her child will be a bastard, he will be inferior. She shook her head with determination.
"You heard me Inuyasha. We had sex, we had sex multiple times. I was not using any kind of protection. I just found out. I even have the name of the doctor who tested me. You can call him if you don't believe me."
Inuyasha felt his throat go dry.
"P…pregnant?" he mumbled, stunned. "My child? Mine? You're carrying m...my child?"
Kelly shook her head positively. Kagome felt herself at the point of collapsing. A child, a child, an innocent being, Inuyasha's child. Why? Tears started rolling on her cheeks as Inuyasha approached Kelly.
Kelly closed her eyes. He would probably hit her or reject her like Naraku did but she immediately opened them when she felt his hand caress her stomach lovingly.
"Mine?" he asked again, his face suddenly luminous.
'He is happy?' she thought as he continued to massage her stomach. 'He did not hurt me, he loves the child. He does."
She smiled at him. It was Inuyasha who should have been the father of her child. He was so sensitive, so generous.
"How long?"
"Three weeks." She replied. She knew that the baby was by now one month old but she had to lie. It wouldn't matter anyway.
A look of worry passed Inuyasha's eyes.
"Is he okay?"
Kelly smiled between her tears and nodded. Inuyasha looked relieved.
"A boy or a girl?" he questioned again. Kelly laughed.
"Don't be an idiot. We can't know yet."
"Oh."
Kagome was completely forgotten behind. She looked at the scene unfold in front of her. Inuyasha was caressing his soon to be son and interacting with Kelly like if they were a married couple. What about her? What about her love for him, her sacrifice, and her devotion? What about the ache that she felt in her being? What about his promise to always be with her? Was she selfish?
Tears continued to pour from her eyes as she backed away from the couple in front of her. Why did she suddenly feel like a shadow? Why did she feel their nights together were nothing to him? What has she been? Was she a source of pleasure? Was she a way to release his frustration or maybe a difficult trophy that he finally had? She heard his laugh. Was he even aware of her presence? Did he remember her?
Kagome put her hands on her head unable to hear anything anymore and took off. With all her strength she ran away. She didn't want to hurt anymore.
The news of Kelly's pregnancy shook Inuyasha severely. In the beginning he felt repulsive but then his paternal instinct moved and he was asking about the health of the baby. He was too taken by the conversation that he forgot about Kagome. As soon as he was fully aware of the good health of his child he remembered Kagome. His eyes widened. He had to see her reaction. His heart suddenly ached when he didn't see her.
"Kagome?" he shouted in the dark street. Kelly looked at him with a worried expression.
"I saw her run over there." She said pointing towards the other side of the street. Inuyasha looked at Kelly.
"Get into the car Kelly. We're going to find her okay?"
Kelly shook her head. She was not a bad person. She didn't want Kagome to get hurt."
Kagome ran, her eyes closed, her head in her hands.
'I am pregnant with your child Inuyasha' she remembered. Her heart ached more and she increased her pace.
'I just use them for sex' Inuyasha once said to her. Was he using her also for the same object? How could she have been so stupid? How did she fall for Inuyasha? He was a playboy. How did she even think that a guy like him could ever fall for a girl like her?
She wanted to run away. She crossed the street without looking and didn't notice the fast car that was coming in her way. She suddenly heard the voice of breaks and looked in front of her, seeing the lights of the car then suddenly, she saw nothing else. Before she went completely unconscious, his name left her lips.
Naraku was thinking about Kelly. Where could she be? It didn't matter to him but inside of his heart, he knew that he was sad. He brushed the idea away and accelerated his car. He needed speed to get the beautiful girl out of his mind. She was carrying his baby, his heir. He was taken deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice the girl that just crossed the street until he was meters away from her. He pushed his breaks but that was not enough. He hit the girl and she fell on the ground.
"Fuck!" he shouted as he got out of his car. The girl who was about 19 was unconscious on the ground. Blood was dripping from her hands. She must have used them to shield her body from the impact.
"She must be Kelly's age." He thought before he carried her in his arms bridal style and placed her in the back seat.
'If I take her to the hospital I may be blamed for this incident. I'll take her home and let my doctors take care of her'. Then he sped towards his apartment. He could hear her breathing. That was the only thing that kept him calm.
"Don't you dare die on me young girl. It is the last thing I need."
Inuyasha searched all the streets for Kagome but didn't find her. He was beginning to get more anxious by the minute.
"Where are you Kagome?" he shouted in frustration.
"It is my fault." Kelly answered while lowering her gaze to her knees.
"Don't say that. It is I who should be blamed. What the hell was I thinking about when I didn't even look at her?"
"You were startled."
Inuyasha shook his head, his eyes burning with sadness.
"I hurt both of you. She must hate me right now. I am sure that she doesn't love me anymore."
Kelly felt guilt rush in her veins. Inuyasha parked the car in front of his house. He placed his head on the wheel driver.
"Where did she go?"
"You love her don't you?" Kelly asked. Inuyasha nodded then spoke.
"But it doesn't matter anymore. I have to take full responsibility of my actions. We should get married after the birth of the child. You should stay with me until then."
Kelly nodded.
"What about Kagome?"
"She probably went back to home." Inuyahsa answered. "Now go inside. I will be right behind you. I just need some time."
"Sure."
Inuyasha looked at her until she disappeared into the house. He then let his tears go free.
"Why? Why do I feel suddenly so inconsolable? Why did I ruin my life? I love you Kagome. Please forgive me."
He then grabbed the necklace that was around his neck and pulled it off. He tossed it in the back seat.
"Goodbye, Kagome."
Chris parked in front of the night club where he saw a very upset Sesshumaru and a tearful Rin waiting for him.
"What happened here?" he asked, uncertain. Rin lunged herself in his arms.
"Just tell him to leave me alone." She sobbed in his chest. Chris exhaled loudly before looking at Sesshumaru.
"Sessh, leave her alone."
Sesshumaru ignored the friendly tone of Chris and responded.
"I will leave her when she leaves me."
Rin freed herself and glared at Sesshumaru.
"Excuse me? I am not the one who is following you."
"I came because Inuyasha told me that you were drunk."
"Bullshit!" she screamed at him and he simply glared.
"What's going on?" Chris asked, looking at both of them. Rin looked at him.
"He kissed me forcefully."
"You wanted me to kiss you."
"I did not. You forced your kiss on me."
"Like you forced yourself in my bed weeks ago?"
Rin went red with embarrassment.
"YOU WHAT?" Chris shouted but was ignored by the quarrelling couple.
"Well, it was a mistake." She said.
"A mistake that almost cost you your virginity," responded Sesshumaru. Rin smirked.
"Who told you I am a virgin?"
"YOU'RE NOT?" Chris shouted suddenly but was still ignored.
"I know you are a virgin Rin by the way you react."
"And how do I react?"
"You tremble in front of me like a leaf in the wind."
"Really? You're surely overconfident Taisho."
Sesshumaru replied to sarcasm by sarcasm.
"Well, I should be. Not any man is often seduced by a woman."
"I did not try to seduce you."
"Yes you did."
"I did not."
"Yes you did."
"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU!" Chris yelled and was not ignored this time as the couple stared at him with confusion. Satisfied of getting the attention needed he cleared his throat before talking.
"It is not wrong to be in love with someone but it is wrong to deny it."
As soon as he said these words, hell opened its gates.
"I am not in love with this stupid egocentric overconfident and cheating guy."
"Like if I would ever be in love with a girl like you."
Rin placed her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes.
"Please, I have a dozen of guys who are ready to crawl for me."
"Well, there are not men enough. You should be treated like a submissive bitch."
"Excuse me?"
Chris took a few steps away when his cell phone pipped. He looked at the message he just received.
'Come immediately to my apartment. We have a situation'
Chris furrowed his eyebrows. Why would Naraku need him at such a late hour?
