InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cracking My Heart ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

Throwing the windows open, Kagome took a deep breath of slightly fresher air, then pulled her head back into the apartment. She had been setting up for a while for the party she and Sango were hosting at their apartment. People would be arriving any second, and she wanted to get some fresh air before the flood.

 

As if someone read her thoughts, the doorbell rang and several people entered the apartment. Kagome heard Sango greet them and strode over to greet the people. She came into the entryway and smiled when Koga and Miroku both smiled widely at her. She had known them ever since freshman year, and they were close friends. Koga had a bit of a crush on her, but after what had happened last with a man, she wasn't really ready to go out yet.

 

No. She told herself. This is supposed to be us celebrating the start of spring break, not moping about him. That bastard…

 

She walked over to the door to hide her discomfort, and she stopped suddenly, eyes widening. She started to shake, and wondered if there was any way the silver haired man striding toward the door was an illusion. Her hands started to shake uncontrollably, and her knees became weak. He strode right past her, brushing her aside to greet Miroku and Koga.

 

Kagome's hands were still shaking, and she stood stiff in shock.

 

Inuyasha Takahashi turned his head over his shoulder, and sneered at the stunned girl. “Get the door, bitch.”

 

Kagome shook herself, and glared at him. She slammed the door and faced him. “What did you just call me?” she snarled.

 

He sneered wider. “Unclog your ears, bitch.” He then turned on his heel and strode off into her living room, sprawling out on a couch. Miroku and Koga both gave her apologetic glances, before walking over and shoving Inuyasha over to take the couch.

 

Kagome walked into the kitchen, sinking to the floor and taking several deep breaths. She rose again and reentered the room everyone was in.

 

“Kagome, you're here? Good, we can start.” Sango said smiling, before narrowing her eyes at Kagome. Kagome shook her head and plastered a fake smile on her face. She sank into a chair, as Sango took another.

 

“Okay, so lets get started.” Sango said cheerily. “Who's for truth or dare?”

 

Murmurs of assent sounded through the room. Sango continued. “Alright, I know we're tough, but lets not do anything permanent. Ya know, sex, tattoos, marriage. Okay. Good. Truth or dare Miroku?”

 

“Hmm...dare me lovely Sango.”

 

Sango grinned. “No touching myself or Kagome for the rest of the game, unless it's a dare from someone other that you.”

 

Miroku groaned. “Sango…”

 

“Your turn, Miroku.” Koga said, grinning.

 

“Okay, Kagome, truth or dare?”

 

Kagome considered for a while. “Dare.”

 

“Strip to your underwear.”

 

Kagome flushed. “Miroku, you perv.” She grumbled.

 

Nevertheless, she pulled off her skirt and shirt, smiled sweetly at Miroku, then pulled everything back on. She didn't notice the way certain amber eyes followed her every movement.

 

Inuyasha bit his lip. She's just as gorgeous as ever. And she smells so nice…

 

He was pulled back into reality when Sango screamed. “Kagome!” She got up, looking livid.

 

Kagome laughed. Sango growled, then stiffly walked over to Miroku, and pecked him on the lips. She then strode back to her seat, and sank into it.

 

“Inuyasha, truth or dare?” Sango asked.

 

Inuyasha grinned. “Truth is for women.”

 

Sango frowned. “Well then, sit on Miroku's lap.” Inuyasha gaped at her, opening and closing his mouth.

 

Kagome grinned. “Go ahead, Takahashi. Or are you too much of a woman to do it?” She was grinning widely, this would be interesting. For a second Inuyasha's eyes met hers, and she was swallowed by the intensity. Finally Inuyasha broke away and sat himself gently on Miroku's lap.

 

“Damn you Miroku.” Inuyasha bit out.

 

“Why are you mad at me? I'm not enjoying this either. It'd be much better if this was Sango.”

 

Inuyasha shot off Miroku's lap, and settled back onto the couch. Both girls laughed for several more minutes.

 

“Your turn, Inuyasha.” Koga said, still trying to hold in laughter.

 

Inuyasha glanced around, before his eyes settled on Kagome. “Bitch, truth or dare.”

 

Kagome glared at him, looking like she was ready to kill him. “Dare.” She bit out.

 

Inuyasha smiled wider. He smelled a light hint of nervousness in her scent. He leaned back, spread his legs, and yawned delicately. “Sit on my lap for the rest of the game.”

 

Kagome's eyes widened, and she let out a low snarl. Inuyasha's smug grin widened. “Time's wasting.”

 

Kagome growled. “And if I don't do it?”

 

Inuyasha's grin became so big it was a small wonder it didn't cover his face. “Well, you could always have me feel you up. Your choice.”

 

Kagome gave a small cheep and almost immediately settled herself between his spread legs, trying not to touch him.

 

She cleared her throat. “You better not dare touch, ahh!” she yelped as Inuyasha grabbed her and pulled her on top of him, leaning against his chest, his arms snugly around her waist. He blew delicately in her ear, enjoying watching her squirm.

 

“Moving on.” Kagome said, furious. “Koga, truth or dare?”

 

“Dare.” Koga answered.

 

Kagome pondered for a moment. “Go outside, and hug the first woman you see.”

 

“Man.” Koga moaned, and disappeared out the door. Sango and Miroku rose to walk out to the balcony to watch.

 

Inuyasha sniffed gingerly. Kagome sighed, and tried to get up, but his grip was too strong. “Let me up Takahashi.” She snarled. He ignored her, and sniffed again.

 

“Or what?”

 

Kagome stomped her foot onto his. He grinned. “You're going to have to hit harder.”

 

She elbowed him hard in the side. He winced, and growled. “Stop it bitch.”

 

“Make me.” Kagome said.

 

She gasped, and fidgeted. She closed her hand on his wrist and tried to pull his hand away from her thigh. He reached up even further, until his hand was under her underwear as well. She squirmed, trying to get away from the hand and hurt him somehow. She kicked his shin, pounded his sides with her fists, and even tried hitting his face with the back of her head, but he didn't even flinch.

 

She gasped and gave a small moan when he stuck a finger up into her. She tried to get herself away from his lap, but he held her firm, and swirled his finger around.

 

“If you submit to me, I'll consider stopping.” He said, voice husky.

 

Kagome moaned and tried kicking him again, but he inserted another finger. She gasped, and whimpered. “I submit.” She whispered.

 

Inuyasha pulled his fingers out, grinning. “That's a good bitch.” He cooed to her. He was about to lick his fingers, when he paused, and took a good whiff of them. His eyes widened, and the color drained from his face.

 

“No way.” He muttered, almost to himself. Kagome looked up at him suspiciously. Inuyasha suddenly stood, ignoring the cheers from the balcony, Kagome held securely in his arms.

 

“What the fuck?” Kagome snarled. “Put me down, Takahashi.”

 

Inuyasha ignored her and simply took off running for the door. He threw it open, and pounced over the railing to land on his feet in the parking lot below. He had clamped his hand over Kagome's mouth, preventing her from screaming. She bit his hand, but he ignored it.

 

He pulled open the back door to his car and shoved her inside, before slamming the door and throwing himself into the driver's seat, pulling out his keys and starting the car.

 

“What the hell?” Kagome screamed. There was a fence like metal cage between the front and back seats. Inuyasha mainly kept it for the over active dogs he kept around the house, but right now it served another purpose. Kagome hit it several times, then tried to open the doors, only to discover the child lock in place. She yelled, and focused her attention on the sourced of her malice, currently speeding down the freeway. She screamed at him until her voice went hoarse, but he still ignored her, thought she noticed with smug pride that his ears were pressed flat against his head in discomfort.

 

She finally collapsed against the side of the car, exhaustion running through her. She ached all over. She caught his curious gaze through the rear view mirror, and sneered at him. Surprisingly, he did not sneer back. She couldn't read the look in his eyes in her hazy state of mind.

 

Finally Inuyasha pulled off the freeway and onto a small dirt road. He soon pulled up to a small, cozy house, pulling into the garage. He stopped, and turned off the car. He turned around, facing her, opting to talk through the protective screen.

 

“How do you feel?” he asked softly.

 

Kagome sputtered for a second. “What the hell?” she screamed. “You just kidnapped me, you bastard! So, it's not enough that you pull a one-night stand, now you have to make my life hell? I don't forgive you Takahashi, and I am so calling the cops on you. Take me home, now!” she stopped suddenly, and leaned against the car, trying to get the car to stop spinning. She felt nauseated, and tried to control the urge to throw up.

 

Steel bands closed around her body, and pulled her from the car. She weakly fought Inuyasha, but didn't have enough strength to push him away. He carried her like a rag doll up to his room. He gently set her down on the bed, as opposed to the last time she was here, when she had basically been thrown onto the bed. She tried to get up, but he sat next to her and threw his legs over her abdomen.

 

Kagome finally relaxed and stopped fighting. Inuyasha was staring at her, and it was getting on her nerves.

 

“When was the last time you bled?” he asked bluntly.

 

Kagome stared. “What? That's private, bastard. Let me up.”

 

“Not till you tell me.”

 

Kagome released a sound close to a screech, and her hands started shaking. “Right before that big history test. It doesn't mean anything, sometimes I'm late.”

 

Inuyasha stared incredulously. “Three weeks late, Kagome?”

 

“Fine, maybe it's a little weird, but it's none of your damn business, Takahashi. Now, get the hell off me and take me home.”

 

Inuyasha frowned. “No.”

 

Kagome blanched. She pulled a hand free and slapped him. He sighed, and carefully lifted her up. Kagome calmed, thinking he was finally taking her home, but resumed yelling at him when he went past the garage. He slid open a door, closed it, and firmly tied it with a rope. He set her down, and then sat on the floor. His eyes met hers.

 

“You're carrying my child Kagome.”

 

Kagome paled, and dropped to her knees. As much as I hate him, it does make sense…I've been tired, throwing up, sleeping a lot more…her eyes refocused on him. They narrowed suddenly.

 

The bastard got me pregnant!

 

She released a snarl, and punched him. He made no move to block it. She rose shakily, and kicked him. He still made no effort to stop her attacks, just watched her closely for something.

 

“You bastard!” Kagome screamed, “You horny, fucking, dirty, cheating bastard! `We don't need protection,' you said. `I'll always be with you,' you said. `It'll feel better without all that rubber,' you said. What was it, three days before you went and fucked Kikyo?! And now, I'm PREGNANT!” Kagome continued hitting and kicking him, then burst into tears. Inuyasha moved from the floor, but she slapped him before he could grab her.

 

“Stay the hell away from me.” She snarled. “How dare you! I never want to see you again. Go fuck with some other girl, I'm through with you.”

 

Kagome ran for the door, fighting with the knot for several second before simply knocking the sliding doors from their frames and storming off down the hall.

 

“Stop, Kagome!” she heard Inuyasha call behind her.

 

“Don't call me that.” She screamed back, throwing open the front door and slamming it. She grabbed a chair sitting nearby and propped it against his door.

 

It won't hold him very long.

 

Kagome ran into the forest, not caring where she ran.

 

Oh, kami. What am I going to tell my mother? Hi Mama, school's great, oh, and by the way, some asshole and I fucked and now I'm pregnant.

 

She missed the upturned root, and went sprawling on the ground. She screamed, and kicked it. Somehow it wasn't as satisfying as kicking Inuyasha had been. She kept running, even though her ankle throbbed.

 

Kagome still remembered the night perfectly. She had met Inuyasha the week before, at a party. They had started dating, and after one particularly good movie they had gone to his house, and, well, she woke up naked in his bed. It had been the most wonderful experience of her life. He had said he had to leave over the weekend, so she was extremely excited the day he was to return, three days later.

 

He wouldn't answer his phone, and by afternoon Kagome had been worried. Right after classes she finally spotted him, leaving his last class. She was about to run up and greet him when she noticed the girl next to him. A gorgeous girl in a miniskirt and a spaghetti strap shirt was hanging off his waist. She said something to him, and he smiled, pulling her up and kissing her, putting his hand under her ass and dragging her flush against his body. He broke the kiss, and finally noticed her. She expected him at least to be horrified, or ashamed to see her, but he did something that broke her heart into a million small pieces.

 

He sneered at her, then ran his hand up his girlfriend's skirt, and kissed her again. Kagome shook, and with a small cry ran form the scene.

 

Just like she was running now.

 

On that fateful day she had gone straight to her apartment and locked herself into her room. She hadn't come out for two days, except to go to the bathroom whenever Sango was gone. If she had been able to, she would have never seen Inuyasha again, but he was a friend of Miroku's, and Miroku was a friend of Sango.

 

And now, he pulls a 180-degree `I'm going to be nice now?' Like hell. No way will I ever forgive you, Takahashi.

 

Kagome stopped, as she had found the freeway. There was little traffic this late at night, but still there were enough that she would need to be aware enough of cars to not get hit. She looked both ways; unsure of which direction she needed to go. Finally spotting a sign pointing to the city, she moaned when she noted the distance.

 

Dammit Takahashi, couldn't you live closer than ten kilometers from the city?

 

Kagome set her shoulders firmly and proceeded to walk down the highway. Her feet already hurt from running through the forest, seeing as he hadn't bothered to grab her shoes when he kidnapped her.

 

A car pulled over next to her. She ignored it and continued walking.

 

Inuyasha, obviously exasperated, jumped out of the driver's seat and made his way to her.

 

“Will you come with me like a civilized little girl or do I have to tie you to the backseat like a dog.” He growled at her.

 

Kagome scowled. “Try it and I will make sure you don't make any other girls pregnant. I'll make sure to burn it once I've cut it off so there's no chance of anything.”

 

She continued walking down the shoulder, wincing as the rough surface dug into her unprotected feet.

 

“Dammit Kagome, what do I have to do?”

 

Kagome whirled around. Inuyasha stood where he had stopped, and was glowering at her.

 

“Take me home.” She snarled. “Never look at me again. Never even think about me again. And use a condom the next time you fuck some girl you plan to ditch for the next whore that comes along three days later.” Without waiting for a response she started walking down the freeway again.

 

“What are you going to do with the pup?” he asked her.

 

Kagome stopped short, letting her face fall so her hair shielded her face.

 

“I'll raise my child. I have to pay the price for my stupid mistake.”

 

“Without a father?” Inuyasha sounded much closer now.

 

“I'd rather he had no father than a father like you.” She spat, before resuming her trudge down the freeway.

 

“Stop, Kagome.” Inuyasha called again. He sounded tired.

 

“Don't say my name.” Kagome said, sounding more resigned and weary than she wanted.

 

“I'll take you home.” He said with a weary sigh.

 

Finally.

 

Kagome climbed into his car, glaring out the window. She heard him climb into his seat, start the car, and take off down the freeway. As compared to the speed at which he took her to his house, this was downright slow. Kagome finally broke from glaring at trees and looked over at the speedometer. He was going about fifty, in a seventy-five mph speed limit area.

 

She sighed. Maybe I should yell at him some more.

 

Kagome stretched a little and winced when her ankle throbbed. I completely forgot about tripping.

 

“Are you alright?” Inuyasha's soft query brought her out of her musings.

 

“What do you think?” she stated, resigned. “Crap, my life is going to be totally screwed up from here out.”

 

She was watching the trees go by, and didn't notice the wince he gave.

 

After several minutes Inuyasha sat alone against the wheel of his car, having watched Kagome disappear limping into the apartment building. He knew Koga and Miroku had long since left, which was probably for the better at this moment.

 

Inuyasha sighed and got back into the car.

 

Of all the women to carry my child, it just had to be her.

 

You're just mad because she didn't immediately agree to have sex with you again after the little maneuver with your finger.

 

That bitch? Fuck no!

 

She is interesting. You know you liked dating her, and she was a good partner. If only Kikyo hadn't been at that hotel…

 

You remember the look on her face when she saw you with Kikyo? She looked so hurt, so broken. You just had to rub it in. I think if you hadn't pulled that she might not have beaten you up so bad tonight. That and it was probably a mistake to say those things. Women tend to remember what a guy says during intercourse.

 

Inuyasha frowned.

 

Damn it, you even knew she was in heat and that she would probably conceive. Why on earth did you do it just to abandon her? If you'd stuck by her side she wouldn't be so contrary now. She definitely wouldn't have been hitting you and screaming at you.

 

Okay, so I knew that she was in heat, and it didn't bother me that she might conceive. So?

 

Why go after the next pretty woman? Kagome hates you now, and its really going to suck when you have to tell her she is bound to you by the child. She couldn't even stand to be in the same car as you. Hell, she doesn't even want you to say her name.

 

How on earth am I going to tell her that she has to come with me? As the pregnancy advances, we're going to feel closer to being actual mates, and I know she ain't going to be pleased.

 

You could make her your mate.

 

She doesn't even accept that she is carrying my child. The world isn't exactly friendly to unattached pregnant women. Raising a child on her own will be tough too.

 

Damn.

 

Inuyasha sighed, and turned off the car. I can't just leave her alone.

 

Inuyasha climbed out of his car and walked up the stairs, trying to formulate what to say when he reached the door of the woman he now desperately needed.
