[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Title: Chronic Condition
Author: Megami no Eien
Rating: PG-13 (T) for supposed premarital relations, false (?) teen pregnancy, and lots of other
unforseen events in future chapters.
Summary: As Kagome's absences from school grow longer and more frequent, her twentieth-
century friends begin to suspect that her grandfather's excuses are merely cover for a single
chronic condition. With no more diseases springing to mind, the eldest Higurashi proclaims his
granddaughter PREGNANT! With Miroku (in)conveniently around, the situation becomes more
complicated . . .
Chapter 7: You Don't Deserve Her!
"You...bastard!" the growl bubbled up in InuYasha's throat like bile as he lay prone and
helpless on the ground, watching the shifty monk he should have killed months ago touch
Kagome. The intimate couple were waving their goodbyes to that pack of ravenous she-wolves
that Kagome was stupid enough to call her friends, assuring them with forced smiles that
everything was under control.
From his vantage point, forgotten and ignored in the background, InuYasha monitored
Miroku's notorious hand, positioned precariously on Kagome's lower back. The half-demon dug
his claws into the concrete floor as he silently vowed to break every finger that slipped into
forbidden territory, "accidental" or not.
What really, truly enraged InuYasha, however, was that this sacrilegious pile of kitsune
shit dared to lay official claim on a woman whom the hanyou had loved for over half a century,
in one form or another. As if a few months spent in their shard-hunting group after nearly
kidnaping Kagome and her jewel shard, too had given him the license to...to...Well, if Kagome
were really pregnant, and InuYasha knew himself not to be the father (how could he be?), then
that meant that Miroku had...already...
The curse began to lift as the inu-hanyou's hackles rose, allowing him flex his aching
muscles in anticipation. The pressure on InuYasha's spine, the final vestiges of his subjugation,
gradually alleviated itself and he rose up on all-fours. His joints trembled under the strain, but
InuYasha ground his teeth together and forced his will to keep him aloft. It grew easier every
passing second and, soon, he would be able to pounce on the womanizing monk that was
dropping his unattended fingers beyond accepted boundaries...
"Don't touch her, pervert!" was InuYasha's battle-cry as the spell finally wore off
completely, returning to him the freedom to murder the unsuspecting "holy" man.
Startled, the pair turned around, breaking Miroku's contact with Kagome abruptly. Half
an instant later, the monk was pinned to the ground with his chest trapped between InuYasha's
knees, gasping for the air viciously expelled from his lungs.
"You bastard! Pervert!" InuYasha barked, lifting Miroku up by the front of his shirt to
snarl in his face. Everything was becoming hazy, tinted in red, and the small bit of rationality in
the back of InuYasha's mind half-suspected that in the absence of the Tetsuseiga his demon
blood was rising to the surface. Not that he cared.
"InuYasha! NO!"
Amidst the loud shuffling of feet and alarmed voices of countless humans, InuYasha
could almost distinguish Kagome's voice. He caught a whiff of her scent, as well, but his
sharpened senses were muddled by the sheer volume of people surrounding them on all sides.
Oh well, even she wouldn't be able to stop him. InuYasha had already decided: the monk
had to die.
"What the hell did you do to Kagome, asshole? She's pregnant and I know you had
something to do with it!" InuYasha punctuated his accusation by shaking Miroku by the front of
his shirt, causing the monk's head to whip back and forth like a broken doll.
"Kagome-chan! NO!"
"Let me go, Yuka! Stop no, Eri, LET GO!"
"No, stay out of it, Kagome, or you'll get hurt!"
"But "
"Augh! Ayumi, hold her legs!"
The voices grew smaller and smaller until all InuYasha could hear through the throbbing
current of demon blood was a wordless shrieking. Once the last hint of Kagome's presence was
gone, everything but Miroku's bobbing head was drowned out in the rush of bloodlust that
consumed him.
His attention had hardly wavered from the prey trapped between his legs. "Talk, Bozou!
What the hell did you do to her?"
Miroku mouthed a few soundless words that the hanyou couldn't comprehend. In
response, InuYasha bashed his head into the floor and then repeated his question.
"What the hell did you do? Answer, you thieving pervert!"
"I...," the single syllable trembled from Miroku's lips as he collected his scattered wits.
"You...don't deserve...her."
With another vicious snarl, InuYasha reintroduced the back of the monk's skull to the
cracked pavement. "I don't deserve her? Who was the one who got her pregnant, eh?"
Miroku's eyes were half-lidded as he fought to maintain his consciousness. "Not..."
"Like hell you didn't!" InuYasha barked, pressing his palms against the monk's throat.
He could feel Miroku gulping desperately for air as life was slowly wrangled away from him.
"Hasn't it been your mission from the day we met your sorry ass to squeeze a kid out of
Kagome? There's no telling how many women you've fed that stupid bear my children' line to!
How many more are like Kagome, eh? How many brats do you already have out there? Answer,
Monk!"
Miroku couldn't even form words any longer, only incoherent gurgles from deep within
his collapsing throat. His eyes were rolled back in his head and the desperate hands that had once
been fighting to defend his breathing facilities were growing limp. In only a few more seconds,
they would fall and the bastard would be dead.
"InuYasha, NO!"
"Kagome-chan, don't "
"I'M NOT PREGNANT!"
Authors Note: How d'you like THAT cliffhanger, eh? n.n
We haven't had a chapter yet from InuYasha's POV, so I thought it might be interesting to do my
chapter this way. I had a lot of fun, but I'm not used to writing aggressive characters like this.
Male characters, yes, but aggressive, no. Thus, I hope that my characterization was good (I even
tried to insert a little bit of InuYasha into the body paragraphs and not just the dialogue), but I
understand if it's not. Drop me a line and let me know; I'd like to work on it if I need to.
I'd also like to remind all readers and authors that as stipulated in the initial chapter this story
is set pre-Sango, so she hasn't been introduced into the love triangle yet.
Okay, we're all the way back to the beginning of the list, so kodoku_inara is up next. So sorry
for this chapter being late, but Sada Dano appears to have dropped off the face of the Earth and I
haven't had the time lately to sit down with any of my own projects for longer than a few minutes
at a time. I did my best to get it in on a day that I wouldn't be rushed to turn in a half-assed
attempt, which meant that I had to get through this weeks worth of homework first. Again, I'm
sorry that it took so long.
Oh, and I know that the little confession at the end of this chapter could potentially end the RR
early, but I'm hoping that the next few authors can come up with a bit more plot to keep us going
until we get back to my turn again. Give everybody a second turn, n all that good stuff. Still, if
the group wants to go ahead and stop soon (since we've had trouble getting a hold of authors n
whatnot since the beginning), we'll have an on-group discussion about it and come to a mutual
decision about it. I'll post something about it on Yahoo! and LiveJournal.
