InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ An Unexpected Encounter ❯ A Morning to Think ( Chapter 2 )

A Morning to Think

 

( I own ANY of the Inuyasha characters, Except Isa, Kayko and Shaka)

 

Kayko washed her face from light shine of sweat the collected on her brow. Her foot reached out, as she held on to the sink, to push down on the handle to her toilet, flushing the contents of her stomach that floated in it. Her foot came back to touch the floor as she began rushing her teeth, getting rid of the fowl taste in her mouth. Her ears flattened as she heard her son yelling form down stairs asking what was for breakfast.

 

Kayko rinsed her mouth out and turned off the faucet. She turned and walked out, her hand absent-mindedly turning off the light behind her. It been a month since her encounter with Kouga and about a week ago she began getting sick. She continued to mentally hit herself for being so stupid as to not make sure he wore protection. Now, she was paying for it.

 

She walked into the kitchen and smiled down at her son. Shippo turned and smiled back at her. She adopted him while she was in high school. His parents had been murdered, and then burned while they were half alive. Kayko had been Shippo's babysitter through out high school. She did what she could to keep her and her grandfather alive. When the Kitsune's Lawyer looked over the will Kayko was named Shippo's godmother, so he would be free of his abusive grandparents.

 

“You mind eating cereal sweetie? I'm not up to cooking today.” She smiled at him as he nodded. It been a few year since high school and Shippo was growing like a bean. He was already as tall as her; she was 5'7”. She smiled at him and ruffed up his hair before she walked into the living room and sat on the couch. Her eyes stared at the black screen of the TV.

 

Her ears twitched as she heard the sound of the cereal leaving the box and making the ping noise as the sugar breakfast filled up the bowl. Her hands came to cover her eyes and she rubbed her forehead.

 

`Me, pregnant? How am I going to take care of everyone and myself? What am I going to do with my jobs?' She thought to herself as she uncovered her eyes and looked back at the TV.

 

`Can I really do this? Alone?' the answer to the question came when her cell rang. She looked at it and smiled. Isa was calling her.

 

`With Isa, I can do this.' She thought as she answered it.

 

“Hello?” Kayko asked as she heard Isa excitedly talking.

 

“Hey, Oh my god, I don't have a class today. Please tell me your off, I want to hang out.” Isa all but begged.

“Yeah, I am and I really want to talk to you about something.” Kayko smiled as she spoke.

 

“That's great. I'll be at your house in an hour.” Isa said rather loudly over the phone.

 

 

“Kay, see you then. Bye.” Kayko said and as soon as she heard the reply bye she hung up and walked into the kitchen.

 

Shippo smiled up at his mom as he finished off his bowl. He dropped his spoon in his bowl before getting up and taking it to the sink. He was way to good to be someone's soon. Never complained, did what he was told. Did chores with out being told, but half the time when he did that he wants something. Shippo washed out his bowl and put it in the dishwasher and turned towards his mom.

 

“Well, I'm going to be home late. I have foot ball practice today.” He walked over to Kayko, picking up his bag that was thrown against the wall by the door. Kayko nodded at him, indicating she understood before kissing him on the forehead.

 

“When you get home, I want to talk to you about something ok.” Shippo nodded and ran out the door. Kohaku's truck was parked by the curb waiting for him. Kayko smiled then pouted slightly. She hated that her son didn't have his own car, but she refused to take money from her friend. Isa would surely start trying to shove money down her throat when she heard her news.

 

Kayko looked at the empty house. Her grandfather was currently out with an old friend. She didn't ask much when he told her last night at dinner. It wasn't her place to ask. It wasn't like she was his mother. Her face paled as her stomach turned. Her hand went to her mouth as she ran off to the down stairs bathroom and over to the toilet.

 

Whatever contents were left in her stomach came up into the toilet for her to see, which made her start heaving. He stomach clenched together as it tried to get her to throw up again, but nothing came out. If she really wanted to play dumb, she could say Ayame just snuck in and put herbs in something she ate or drank, but she knew better.

 

Ayame was to busy with her wedding, and fucking men on the side. Stupid whore. Her hand came up and flushed the toilet as she closed the lid, laying her head on top. As she started thinking about it, the more it hurt. She hadn't been able to get over Kouga. She kept telling herself, he was a one-night stand. That there would be nothing between them, but she liked him. He was handsome, gorgeous with very tone muscles. He was nice, made her feel special when she was with him.

 

She closed her eyes as she thought about Kouga. What did he see in her cousin? She was pretty, in her own whorish way. Her red hair was annoying, she liked her better purple. She smiled as she thought of one of the times she put blue dye in her hair making it turn purple. She sighed as she opened her eyes, staring at the white wall. Her body wasn't cute. She had no figure, even when Ayame tried to wear her cloths. She sighed and starts to push herself up. Her arms shook as she walks over to the skin. She turned it on and cupped her hand; bring the water that collected in it to her mouth to sip it up.

 

Her head began thump as a headache from all the throwing up came along. She walked to the kitchen, her hand reaching for the cupboard that held the Advil, but she stopped. Would it be ok to take with her being pregnant? Her tail curled up as she moved her hand away and walked into the living room. Her eyes drooped as she lay down on the couch and sighed, sleeping soon consuming her.

 

Her eyes fluttered open at hearing her name. The person before her was blurry at first before she focused, seeing Isa looking at her weird. She sat up rubbing her eyes and she remembered what was planed earlier. She groaned as she looked at Isa and Sango. Apparently, Isa picked up Sango on her way here.

 

“I am SO sorry. I guess I accidentally fell asleep.” She looked at Isa with pleading eyes.

 

“Don't worry about it. Are you feeling ok Kayko?” Isa asked as her hand went to Kayko's forehead. Sango stood off to the side watching Kayko. This wasn't ike her to fall asleep with friend coming over.

 

“No I'm not.” Kayko looked at the floor, her brow dripping with sweat. Apparently she was having a mini hot flash.

 

“What's wrong? Tell us please” Isa said trying not to make it sound like an order. Kayko only smiled

 

“I think I'm pregnant.” Isa looked dumbfounded at her while Sango's face went from worried to shocked. Isa's eyebrow lifted as her face looked as if she was saying `your joking right.'

 

“How?” Sango spoke up, Isa still clearly in shock. Kayko looked at her then Sango and sighed. She told them the short story saying that she gave a guy a night of his life, before he got married. Her head was in her hands as she told Isa and Sango that she forgot to make sure that he wore protection. Isa's eyes widened before she glared, Sango continued to look shocked.

 

“How could you do that Kayko? Your just as bad as your cousin now.” Sango said. Kayko glared at her, a growl coming from her throat.

 

“I am nothing like my cousin. I told him I wanted NO money from it. I just did it to show him that I was better than my cousin.” Sango looked at her in shock before she let the subject go. Kayko's attitude was quickly showing what grew inside.

 

“I didn't want to talk to you to start a fight you two. I just… I need…. I can't do this by myself. I want help. I don't want money, just emotional support, for now.” Kayko looked at her two close friends, her eyes pleading. Isa sighed and nodded. She knew just as well as Kayko that she couldn't do it alone and hold down two jobs, and taking care of an ailing grandfather and a growing son.

 

“I'm guessing you need a ride to a doctor.” Kayko nodded as a small tear escaped her eyes and rolled down her face. Isa whimpered and sat on the couch and held Kayko.

 

“I'm scared Isa. I don't know what to do. You two are the first I have told.” Isa whipped the tears that spilt from Kayko's eyes as Sango sat behind her, rubbing her back.

 

“I'll take you to Lady Keade.” Isa stood up pulling Kayko up with her and walking to the door. Kayko stopped and looked at her. Sango and Isa stood by the door watching her.

 

“I have to get my purse.” Kayko walked to her room and grabbed her purse, shoving the keys that laid on her desk in her purse before walking back down stairs and over to her two friends.

 

Isa smiled as she walked out the front door, Kayko following behind before she turned and locked her door. Sango skipped over to the car and jumped in the back seat. Kayko's flip-flops made their flip flop sound they got their name from as she walked to the car. She slipped into the car and relaxed against the warm seat. Isa turned on the car and backed out of the driveway. She drove slower than she usually did. She liked to drive fast, and no one ever caught her, usually.

 

Kayko felt someone shake her before she opened her eyes, noticing the small doctors building. She smiled and looked at Isa. Isa didn't need to ask to know Kayko was happy to be here. The trio got out and walked to the doors. Kayko walked in and looked around. Lady Keade was a well-known Doctor, specializing in Demons, Half-demons, Miko's and Priest's. Today seemed to be a slow day for her. As soon as they walked in, the nurse at the front desk smiled as Kayko walked towards her.

 

“How can I help you Lady Kayko?” The nurse said as she sat down at the computer.

 

“I was wondering if you had an opening. I need to speak with Lady Keade.” Kayko said, a bit nervously. The lady just smiled up at her.

 

“Certainly, I'll tell her you're here. Have a seat and she will be right with you.” Kayko nodded and walked over to a seat.

 

Isa watched Kayko talk to the nurse before she walked over to a seat. Sango looked around the room. A light warm gray pain on the walls, giving it a homey feeling. She slowly followed after Isa sitting next to her as she continued to look around. All the waiting room chairs where black leather. The flooring being hard dark wood. Kayko joined them shortly after they sat down. Kayko gave a heavy sigh as Isa rubbed her shoulder. It wasn't but 5 minutes after she sat down that Keade came to the door smiling.

 

“Ye may come back now, my dear.” Keade smiled as she stepped to the side as Kayko Isa, and Sango walked through. Keade shut the door and walked ahead of them and into an open room. Kayko walked over to the rubbery seat that all patients. Keade stared at her waiting for her to talk.

 

“I think I'm pregnant and I only trust you.” Kayko told her. Keade only lifted an eyebrow and crossed her arms, waiting for the story that would follow. Kayko sighed and rubbed her head, then began to speak, telling her everything that had happened. Keade sat in her doctor chair and listened to the story, nodding her head when it was needed. Keade rubbed her head as she nodded one last time.

 

“Lay down, Lady Kayko” Keade said as she got up and walked over to her. Kayko sighed and did as she was told. Keade pulled up her shirt, to where her stomach was revealed and started feeling around. Since Kayko was a demon, she'd be pregnant for 6 months. Keade nodded at her finding. The young wolf/dog was pregnant. She heard Kayko sigh and look at her.

 

“You said it was about a month ago when you were with this man right?” she looked at Kayko as she nodded.

 

“Well, it shows. Not in the size of your stomach but the feel of your stomach. I'm going to have to ask you not to dance anymore.” Kayko looked at her weird and opened her mouth to protest till Keade shushed her.

 

“I'm not saying quit your job there, just no dancing. It will only put stress on the baby. Understand.” Kayko nodded ad sat up as Keade walked over to her chair.

 

“Well, guess I'll be going now. Do I have any follow up appointment's?” Kayko asked as Keade filled out her paper work.

 

“I want you to come back ever two week making today the starting day.” Kayko nodded as she finished.

 

Isa and Sango smiled at Kayko as she hopped off the table straightening her shirt. Sango and Isa stood up as Kayko made her way to the door. Kayko looked back at them and sighed. She looked forward at the glass door that was between her and the nurse. The nurse stood up and opened the window and spoke before Kayko could open her mouth.

 

“Lady Keade said it was on her, all you had to do was make her your famous steak.” Kayko blinked and smiled.

 

“Ok tell her to come over tonight. It will be ready for her.” The nurse nodded and closed the window.

 

The three girls looked at each other and giggled as they walked towards the door. Outside Kayko shivered, it had been cold in there and outside it was nice a warm. Isa walked to her car as Kayko and Sango followed.

 

“Guess now we can go to the mall now then to the store so that I can get steak for everyone.” Isa squealed with excitement as she ran to her car.

 

“When was the last time we had your steaks?” Sango asked aloud with a finger to her chin as she thought.

 

“Graduation night...” Kayko said, giggling. “…and that has been a few years.” Kayko opened the car door and got in. Sango did the same as Isa buckled her seat belt starting the car.

 

“So I'm guessing we are going to get a few things for a new baby” Isa said looking at Kayko.

 

“Well, I want to wait till I actually have a room set aside and have told my son and grandfather. I don't want them looking through the bags thinking I got them something and finding baby cloths before I can tell them.” Isa and Sango nodded with the logic.

 

Isa kept her speed slow, again. She was nervous about driving her normal speed with her best friend pregnant in the seat next to her. Kayko looked out the window of the car, thinking of how she was going to break the news, ignoring the feeling of her friend's eyes watching her. She knew they were worried. They had every right to be. They had all promised in high school that they would all get pregnant together so that their kids grew up together, all close friends.

 

The mall soon came into view as Isa pulled into the parking lot. She drove up and down the isles trying to find the best parking spot. What could have taken a few seconds took 10 minutes. Isa smiled at her finding of the parking spot close to the door. Kayko and Sango just rolled their eyes, shaking their heads at their weird friend. Isa turned off the car and unbuckled. The girls followed suit and unbuckled jumping out of the car.

 

Kayko's tail swung behind her, showing her alight happiness as being at the mall. Isa Walked up next to her and hooked arms with her. Kayko turned and smiled at her till she felt another arm loop her other arm. She turned and looked at Sango her tail wagging more now as they gently pulled her off towards the mall. Not knowing a certain wolf walked the same mall, trying to find a present for his new wife.
