Along Came the Baby
II- Signs
“Ms. Higurashi!”
Kagome jumped a bit, startled at her teacher’s sudden outburst. “I will not having you nodding off in my class, sleeping is for home,” Mrs. Miyazaki, the English 12 teacher said.
Kagome nodded apologetically and looked at the clock. Almost lunchtime.
A month had passed since the first day of school, and senior year was not what Kagome expected. Where were the parties? The fairs?
‘They come at the end of the year, retard,’ her mind told her. She sighed, her eyelids drooping once again. She’d been feeling unusually tired lately. And a bit nauseous in the morning.
But Kagome put it to the back of her mind, she was just anxious right? “Ok, your reports are due tomorrow, have a good day,” Mrs. Miyazaki dismissed the class as the bell rang. Kagome gathered her books and started to walk out the class.
“Higurashi, I’d like to have a word with you,” Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. “Yes Mrs. Miyazaki?” Kagome asked turning around.
The older woman sighed. “I’ve noticed you’ve been slacking lately dear and I’m starting to worry. Keep it up and you’ll lose the valedictorian title to Isuzu Minagawa. You two are only a few points away from each other, and she is the salutatorian,” she explained.
Kagome scowled at the mention of Isuzu. ‘Like hell Isuzu will beat me,’ she thought bitterly. “I’ll try harder Mrs. Miyazaki,” Kagome promised. The teacher smiled.
“That’s good to hear. You are one the best students here, don’t let me down,” she said. Kagome nodded, smiled politely, and left the classroom.
“Finally,”
Kagome was surprised to see Inuyasha leaning on the wall by the classroom door. “Were you waiting on me Inu?” she asked hugging him.
He kissed her forehead and smiled. “Uh…yeah,” he said in a sarcastic tone. Kagome giggled. “Sorry, I kinda got in trouble with Mrs. Miyazaki,” Kagome explained as the two walked to the lunchroom. Inuyasha looked surprised. “Trouble? What for?” he asked. “Slacking and sleeping. But I don’t know, I get enough sleep but I still feel tired for some reason,” she said.
Inuyasha shrugged. “Maybe its your time of the month,” he suggested. Kagome slugged his arm.
“Hey!” he protested. “No baka, I haven’t had mine yet,” she growled playfully. Inuyasha laughed. “Hey, its was just an idea,” he said.
“A bad one,” Kagome giggled. The two continued to walk until they reached the cafeteria.
“What are we having today for lunch?” Kagome asked as they spotted Ayame in the lunch line.
Inuyasha made a face. “Their ‘special’ beef stroganoff. I’ll pass, I don’t want to spend the rest of the week sick,” he grunted as he turned to walk to their usual table.
“Ooh, yum,” Kagome licked her lips and quickly grabbed a tray. Inuyasha looked surprised, then confused.
“Are you ok, Kags? You HATE their beef stroganoff,” he asked. Kagome smiled brightly and continued down the line. Inuyasha shrugged and walked to the table.
“Hey Kagome,” Ayame greeted when Kagome caught up to her. “What’s up ‘Yame,” she returned.
“You must be feeling brave today, you’re gonna EAT the stroganoff?” Ayame made a disgusted face at the pasta. Kagome nodded gaily.
“I don’t see the big idea, it looks great!” she exclaimed. Ayame gave Kagome an ‘Eww, are you serious?!’ look before paying for her simple salad and heading to their table with Kagome behind her.
When the two sat down, Sango took one look at the meal on Kagome’s tray and turned green….literally.
“EW! ARE YOU GONNA EAT THAT?!” she demanded. Kagome gave her a crazy look. “Don’t you think you are overreacting Sango?” she said in a bored tone.
“In the six to seven years I’ve known you, you NEVER ate the school stews, pasta, or mystery meat!….I’m appalled! *sniff* It’s like I don’t even know you even more!” Sango exclaimed.
Kagome shook her head. “Stop being so melodramatic Sango,” she took a bite of the pasta.
. “Mmm…that’s good,” she said. Sango and Ayame gasped, while Miroku turned his head and made puking noises. Kouga, who had just made it to the table pretended to faint, and Inuyasha tried not to laugh at his friends’ antics.
Kagome shook her head. “You guys are crazy,” she stated. Kouga took his seat across from her. “No, you’re the crazy one. You are so gonna be sick,” he grunted.
Kagome shrugged and took another bite. Her friends made a disgusted face. “So you guys excited about the first game ?” Ayame asked changing the subject.
Inuyasha smirked. He, along with Kouga and Miroku were on the football team, and had been since 9th grade. Kagome was the captain of the cheerleading squad. Sango was her co-captain, along with Isuzu.
Ayame was also on the squad. Kouga nodded. “Excited? I’m ecstatic. I’m so ready to beat the brakes off Lorain Academy,” he said flexing his muscle.
Ayame sighed. “You are such a bully.” Kagome giggled. “Speaking of bully, you guys know you are wrong for what you did to those freshman yesterday,” she stated.
Miroku choked on the drink he had just sipped on and laughed. “Oh hell yeah! That shit was too funny!” he exclaimed.
Sango glared at her boyfriend. “No it wasn‘t. You guys dumped some in the dumpster and stuffed some in their lockers. That was mean,”
Inuyasha shrugged indifferently. “So? It happened to us our freshman year, and I’m sure they’ll do it their senior year,” he stated.
The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Kagome popped a chocolate mint in her mouth and gathered her tray to put in the trash.
“See you guys in class!” Sango said on the way out the cafeteria.
Kagome nodded, and grabbed Inuyasha’s hand. “You got practice today?” she asked. He nodded. “You should be done with your practicing by the time we’re done, so I can give you a ride home,” he said.
Kagome smiled and kissed his cheek. “Hey Yash, lets throw a party,” she said suddenly. “Don’t you think its too early in the year to be throwing parties?” he asked.
Kagome shook her head repetitively. “Of course not. A party is what we need right now anyway. And I’m sure if we ask, Sesshomaru will let us use his pool house,” she inquired.
Inuyasha looked up in thought, contemplating her idea. Kagome looked at him expectantly. “What the hell, lets do it,” he said after a while. Kagome jumped up and down for joy, then kissing Inuyasha deeply.
He moaned low in his throat as he pushed his tongue into her mouth, tasting the chocolaty mint she just had.
Kagome whimpered and returned the kiss. So wrapped up in the kiss, that the two didn’t hear the click-clack of a pair of heels approach them.
“Ahem…leave the making-out for home, children,”
Kagome and Inuyasha jumped apart and finally noticed their counselor, Kaede Yuragi giving them a scrutinizing look.
Kagome blushed deeply. “Sorry Ms. Yuragi,” she apologized. “Get to class,” she said dismissively, walking away.
“That was embarrassing.” Kagome muttered quietly as the two reached their designated classroom.
Inuyasha snorted but said nothing. When they walked into the classroom, Kagome immediately made her way to the back of the class where her friends were.
“Party at the pool house next weekend!” she announced. Sango’s face lit up. “A party? Really?!” she asked.
Kagome nodded happily. Miroku shook his head. “Isn’t it too early to be partying?” he asked.
“What are you on crack? It’s never too early to party!” Ayame swayed her hips.
Kouga grabbed her waist, effectively stopping her dance. “That’s enough ‘Yame,” he grunted.
Ayame frowned but before she could light into him, he motioned towards the other side of the room where some boys from the football team were making crude comments and gestures at her.
“Hey Ayame, why don’t you swing some of that my way?” the star of the defensive line, Jared Sullivan, called then made a kissing gesture to her. The other boys whooped.
Kouga growled. “Hey Sullivan, feel like getting your teeth knocked out today? Dude?” he balled his fist for emphasis.
Jared just smirked. “Not my fault your girlfriend is hot Pack. Speaking of hot,” Jared got up from his seat and walked over to where they were.
He stood right in front of Kagome smirking.
“Kagome….what’s up?” he leaned on her desk. Kagome grimaced and rolled her eyes.
Next thing she knew, Inuyasha grabbed Jared by his shirt, holding him a little off the ground. “You’ve got a lot of nerve Sullivan, I’ll give you that, but I’m not as nice as Kouga. I won’t hesitate to beat the life out of you, got it?”
Jared swallowed hard. “Mr. Namoi! In the hall!” the teacher, who just happened to walk in the class, said.
Inuyasha growled, but put Jared down. Glaring at him, he walked out the classroom. Jared smirked and winked at Kagome after he left.
“Prick,” Kagome spat. Sango sat next to her. “Wow, what a jerk,” she said disgustedly as they watched Jared walk back to his desk.
Kagome shook her head. “Yeah, Jared has tried to get me to go out with him since 9th grade. He’s a jerk though,”
The two looked where the jocks were sitting, and another defensive player, Todd Graham, winked at Sango. She growled.
Miroku frowned. “Do they all want a beat down today?” he asked Kouga. Kouga glared at Jared.
“Don’t worry, practice is going to be a bitch for him them today. Coach is putting the quarterback in charge today, and you know what that means,” he smirked.
Miroku laughed a little. “Jared made a mistake making Yash mad,”
That’s when Inuyasha walked back into the class, followed by the teacher, and sat next to Kagome.
“You ok?” she asked quietly. He nodded. “Didn’t get into trouble or anything,” he said.
Kagome shook her head. “No, about Jared,” she said. Inuyasha leaned his chair back and put his hands behind his head.
“I’m not worried about that pussy. He’ll get what he deserves at practice today,” he said.
“Inuyasha,” Kagome said in a warning tone about his choice of words. Inuyasha shrugged.
“What, he is,” he protested. Kagome shook her head. “Anyway, we need to talk to Sesshomaru after school so we can spread the word about the party.”
“Yeah, yeah, we’ll talk to him. So, you gonna pick out a bikini for the party or what?” Inuyasha waggled his brows.
Kagome giggled, then put on a seductive smirk. “That’s for me to know, and you to find out,” she said.
Inuyasha growled softly but said nothing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------
“What do you mean no?!” Inuyasha all but yelled. After school had ended and practices were over, Kagome and Inuyasha rode over to his house to get permission from Inuyasha’s older brother Sesshomaru for the party.
Sesshomaru Namoi was always crisp, clean, and sophisticated, and had a personality to match. He was Inuyasha’s polar opposite.
The twenty-year old was the assistant manager of the company their father owned and would inherit the business should Toga Namoi, their father, pass. But half the business did go to Inuyasha as well.
He stood six foot three and had long, silky silver hair that reached to his thighs.
“I will not have a bunch of unruly teens frolicking around in my pool house,” Sesshomaru stated coldly.
Inuyasha glared at his brother. “You’re a selfish prick, you know that?” he said. Sesshomaru gave him a short glance before replying, “And you’re an idiot half-breed but everyone has their shortcomings,”
Kagome decided to speak up. “Please Sesshomaru? We really need this party, and its hot so why not a pool party? You remember when you were a senior,” she pleaded.
“The answer is no,” Sesshomaru stated dismissively.
“Aww c’mon Sesshy, let them have their fun,” came a soft female voice. Inuyasha smirked, and crossed his arms, knowing who it was and that he won the argument.
“Why hello Rin, how nice to see you today,” he stood up and gave his future sister-in-law a hug and kiss on the cheek.
“Hey Yash, Kags,” she greeted happily.
Rin Wanabi was Sesshomaru’s fiancé. The two were engaged soon after high school and planned to get married in the near future.
The nineteen year old worked part-time at a local restaurant and went to college near-by. She stood five foot seven and had long dark brown hair that flipped out and reached her mid-back, and chocolate eyes.
While Sesshomaru was a bit unemotional, Rin was always bursting with energy, and a very fun personnto be around. Her personality contrasted with Sesshomaru’s but you know what they say: opposites attract.
“Sesshy, why not let them use the pool house. It’s extremely hot and they are trying to throw the first senior party of the year,” Rin walked up to her fiancé who was sitting in his swivel chair. She gave him a hug around the neck and kissed his cheek.
‘Thank God for Rin,’ Inuyasha thought while he smirked victoriously. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes before saying, “Fine, but Rin and I will be there to make sure nothing gets out of hand,”
“Yay! Come on Kagome, call San-san and ‘Yame so we can go swim suit shopping!” Rin said excitedly.
Kagome nodded as she preceded to speed dial her best friends. Rin gave Sesshomaru a quick kiss on the lips before swiping the keys to his convertible Mustang and taking off with Kagome.
Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha. “What?” Inuyasha asked.
“You owe me big time,” Sesshomaru growled. Inuyasha smirked as he got out his cell phone.
He speed dialed his best friends number.
“What up,” came Miroku’s voice after three rings. “Miro! Start callin’ everybody and telling them there’s a pool party at my place next weekend,” Inuyasha said sending Sesshomaru a ‘I won and you lost’ smirk.
“Sesshomaru said yes?! Ah hell yeah!” Miroku cheered. “Yeah, Kagome and Rin just left to go get San-san and ‘Yame to go bathing suit shopping,” Inuyasha said.
“Alright, cool. I’ll go ahead and tell everybody. This party is going to be bad ass,” Miroku said before hanging up.
Inuyasha yawned and put his hands behind his head, leaning back in the chair he was sitting in.
“Jackass,” Sesshomaru spat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------
“Oooh, look at this one!”
Sango, Ayame, Rin and Kagome were currently at a popular swim suit store picking out bikinis.
Rin held up an orange and yellow one piece that showed a bit of skin. It had one strap that went over her shoulder, and it had holes on both sides to show off a bit of her stomach. A matching sarong completed her ensemble.
“That’s cute, but look at this one,” Sango held up a pink and black two piece. The top was a halter that tied in the back, and the bottom was boy shorts. She also had a sarong to go with it.
Ayame wordlessly held up a white one piece that was made like a halter. It had to words ‘Feisty’ printed diagonally across it.
Kagome smiled as she held a red two piece with no straps. It fit like a tube top and it showed all her stomach. The bottoms were boy short and showed off her butt. A red sarong came with it.
“Damn, are we gonna be the hottest things at the party or what?” Ayame giggled.
“The party should be next weekend, on the 7th,” Sango said. “It’s the 31st?” Kagome asked. Rin looked at her. “Of course. Where have you been?” she asked.
Kagome fell silent. ‘But if today is the thirty-first…’
::“Sorry, I kinda got in trouble with Mrs. Miyazaki,” Kagome explained as the two walked to the lunchroom. Inuyasha looked surprised. “Trouble? What for?” he asked. “Slacking and sleeping. But I don’t know, I get enough sleep but I still feel tired for some reason,” she said.
Inuyasha shrugged. “Maybe its your time of the month,” he suggested. Kagome slugged his arm.
“Hey!” he protested. “No baka, I haven’t had mine yet,” she growled playfully. Inuyasha laughed. “Hey, its was just an idea,” he said.::
‘I haven’t had my period not one time this month….and I’ve been unusually tired and nauseous, and for some reason had a craving for the cafeteria food….’
Kagome wasn’t a complete idiot, so she had an idea what was wrong with her.
“Kagome? What’s the matter?” Sango asked when she noticed her best friend being extremely quiet. Her face had gotten pale, and her hands were shaking.
“Kagome?” Kagome was in her own world.
“R-Rin…I need you to take me to Sango’s but first we need to stop at a Wal-Mart first,” Kagome stated shakily. Sango opened her mouth to ask why her place but remembered Kagome’s mom.
“O-ok,” Rin answered uncertainly. The four paid for their suits and left the store. “Kagome, what’s the matter? You look as if you’ve seen a ghost,” Ayame asked as they got into Sesshomaru’s Mustang but got no answer.
The ride to the nearest Wal-Mart was silent, and Rin, Ayame and Sango were all worried about Kagome.
When Rin pulled up by the superstore entrance, Kagome quickly got out. “Wait here,” she told them as she rushed into the store. Rin parked in a nearby space and turned the car off.
“What do you guys think is the matter?” she asked. Sango gave a shrug. “Your guess is as good as mine, but I’m worried.”
Ayame nodded, “I’ve never seen her so scared before. Whatever it is, it has to be big.” she said.
After a couple of minutes they spotted Kagome coming out of the store holding a small bag.
When she got in the car, nobody said anything. Sango caught a glimpse of what was in the bag, and her eyes widened. She said nothing as they made the short trip to Sango’s home.
Once there, the foursome quickly went inside. No one was home, and that was a bit of a relief.
Kagome silently and quickly went to the bathroom where she stayed for about twenty minutes.
Rin, Sango, and Ayame jumped when they heard a loud sob come from the bathroom.
“Kagome?! What’s the matter?” Rin demanded, opening the door. Kagome looked at them, tears in her eyes.
“I-is that what I think it is?” Ayame asked shakily. In her shaky hand, Kagome held a pregnancy test, and anybody with common sense could tell it was positive.
“I-I’m pregnant…” she whispered. Sango swallowed hard and stepped up to a scared Kagome.
She pulled her into a hug, Rin and Ayame following suit. “I’m pregnant,” Kagome repeated bursting into tears.

“Ms. Higurashi!”
Kagome jumped a bit, startled at her teacher’s sudden outburst. “I will not having you nodding off in my class, sleeping is for home,” Mrs. Miyazaki, the English 12 teacher said.
Kagome nodded apologetically and looked at the clock. Almost lunchtime.

Kagome scowled at the mention of Isuzu. ‘Like hell Isuzu will beat me,’ she thought bitterly. “I’ll try harder Mrs. Miyazaki,” Kagome promised. The teacher smiled.
“That’s good to hear. You are one the best students here, don’t let me down,” she said. Kagome nodded, smiled politely, and left the classroom.
“Finally,”
Kagome was surprised to see Inuyasha leaning on the wall by the classroom door. “Were you waiting on me Inu?” she asked hugging him.

“Ooh, yum,” Kagome licked her lips and quickly grabbed a tray. Inuyasha looked surprised, then confused.
“Are you ok, Kags? You HATE their beef stroganoff,” he asked. Kagome smiled brightly and continued down the line. Inuyasha shrugged and walked to the table.
“Hey Kagome,” Ayame greeted when Kagome caught up to her. “What’s up ‘Yame,” she returned.
“You must be feeling brave today, you’re gonna EAT the stroganoff?” Ayame made a disgusted face at the pasta. Kagome nodded gaily.
“I don’t see the big idea, it looks great!” she exclaimed. Ayame gave Kagome an ‘Eww, are you serious?!’ look before paying for her simple salad and heading to their table with Kagome behind her.

“Don’t worry, practice is going to be a bitch for him them today. Coach is putting the quarterback in charge today, and you know what that means,” he smirked.
Miroku laughed a little. “Jared made a mistake making Yash mad,”
That’s when Inuyasha walked back into the class, followed by the teacher, and sat next to Kagome.
“You ok?” she asked quietly. He nodded. “Didn’t get into trouble or anything,” he said.
Kagome shook her head. “No, about Jared,” she said. Inuyasha leaned his chair back and put his hands behind his head.
“I’m not worried about that pussy. He’ll get what he deserves at practice today,” he said.

“What do you mean no?!” Inuyasha all but yelled. After school had ended and practices were over, Kagome and Inuyasha rode over to his house to get permission from Inuyasha’s older brother Sesshomaru for the party.
Sesshomaru Namoi was always crisp, clean, and sophisticated, and had a personality to match. He was Inuyasha’s polar opposite.

“Sesshy, why not let them use the pool house. It’s extremely hot and they are trying to throw the first senior party of the year,” Rin walked up to her fiancé who was sitting in his swivel chair. She gave him a hug around the neck and kissed his cheek.
‘Thank God for Rin,’ Inuyasha thought while he smirked victoriously. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes before saying, “Fine, but Rin and I will be there to make sure nothing gets out of hand,”
“Yay! Come on Kagome, call San-san and ‘Yame so we can go swim suit shopping!” Rin said excitedly.
Kagome nodded as she preceded to speed dial her best friends. Rin gave Sesshomaru a quick kiss on the lips before swiping the keys to his convertible Mustang and taking off with Kagome.
Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha. “What?” Inuyasha asked.
“You owe me big time,” Sesshomaru growled. Inuyasha smirked as he got out his cell phone.
He speed dialed his best friends number.
“What up,” came Miroku’s voice after three rings. “Miro! Start callin’ everybody and telling them there’s a pool party at my place next weekend,” Inuyasha said sending Sesshomaru a ‘I won and you lost’ smirk.
“Sesshomaru said yes?! Ah hell yeah!” Miroku cheered. “Yeah, Kagome and Rin just left to go get San-san and ‘Yame to go bathing suit shopping,” Inuyasha said.
“Alright, cool. I’ll go ahead and tell everybody. This party is going to be bad ass,” Miroku said before hanging up.
Inuyasha yawned and put his hands behind his head, leaning back in the chair he was sitting in.
“Jackass,” Sesshomaru spat.

“Oooh, look at this one!”
Sango, Ayame, Rin and Kagome were currently at a popular swim suit store picking out bikinis.
Rin held up an orange and yellow one piece that showed a bit of skin. It had one strap that went over her shoulder, and it had holes on both sides to show off a bit of her stomach. A matching sarong completed her ensemble.
“That’s cute, but look at this one,” Sango held up a pink and black two piece. The top was a halter that tied in the back, and the bottom was boy shorts. She also had a sarong to go with it.
Ayame wordlessly held up a white one piece that was made like a halter. It had to words ‘Feisty’ printed diagonally across it.
Kagome smiled as she held a red two piece with no straps. It fit like a tube top and it showed all her stomach. The bottoms were boy short and showed off her butt. A red sarong came with it.
“Damn, are we gonna be the hottest things at the party or what?” Ayame giggled.
“The party should be next weekend, on the 7th,” Sango said. “It’s the 31st?” Kagome asked. Rin looked at her. “Of course. Where have you been?” she asked.
Kagome fell silent. ‘But if today is the thirty-first…’
::“Sorry, I kinda got in trouble with Mrs. Miyazaki,” Kagome explained as the two walked to the lunchroom. Inuyasha looked surprised. “Trouble? What for?” he asked. “Slacking and sleeping. But I don’t know, I get enough sleep but I still feel tired for some reason,” she said.
Inuyasha shrugged. “Maybe its your time of the month,” he suggested. Kagome slugged his arm.
“Hey!” he protested. “No baka, I haven’t had mine yet,” she growled playfully. Inuyasha laughed. “Hey, its was just an idea,” he said.::
‘I haven’t had my period not one time this month….and I’ve been unusually tired and nauseous, and for some reason had a craving for the cafeteria food….’
Kagome wasn’t a complete idiot, so she had an idea what was wrong with her.
“Kagome? What’s the matter?” Sango asked when she noticed her best friend being extremely quiet. Her face had gotten pale, and her hands were shaking.
“Kagome?” Kagome was in her own world.
“R-Rin…I need you to take me to Sango’s but first we need to stop at a Wal-Mart first,” Kagome stated shakily. Sango opened her mouth to ask why her place but remembered Kagome’s mom.
“O-ok,” Rin answered uncertainly. The four paid for their suits and left the store. “Kagome, what’s the matter? You look as if you’ve seen a ghost,” Ayame asked as they got into Sesshomaru’s Mustang but got no answer.
The ride to the nearest Wal-Mart was silent, and Rin, Ayame and Sango were all worried about Kagome.
When Rin pulled up by the superstore entrance, Kagome quickly got out. “Wait here,” she told them as she rushed into the store. Rin parked in a nearby space and turned the car off.
“What do you guys think is the matter?” she asked. Sango gave a shrug. “Your guess is as good as mine, but I’m worried.”
Ayame nodded, “I’ve never seen her so scared before. Whatever it is, it has to be big.” she said.
After a couple of minutes they spotted Kagome coming out of the store holding a small bag.
When she got in the car, nobody said anything. Sango caught a glimpse of what was in the bag, and her eyes widened. She said nothing as they made the short trip to Sango’s home.
Once there, the foursome quickly went inside. No one was home, and that was a bit of a relief.
Kagome silently and quickly went to the bathroom where she stayed for about twenty minutes.
Rin, Sango, and Ayame jumped when they heard a loud sob come from the bathroom.
“Kagome?! What’s the matter?” Rin demanded, opening the door. Kagome looked at them, tears in her eyes.
“I-is that what I think it is?” Ayame asked shakily. In her shaky hand, Kagome held a pregnancy test, and anybody with common sense could tell it was positive.
“I-I’m pregnant…” she whispered. Sango swallowed hard and stepped up to a scared Kagome.
She pulled her into a hug, Rin and Ayame following suit. “I’m pregnant,” Kagome repeated bursting into tears.
