***************************************************************** *******************************

Inuyasha angrily sucked his teeth and growled.

"Kikyo we had the fucking test and you're not fucking pregnant!!!" Inuyasha yelled at the phone since he had her on speaker phone.

"Inuyasha that test was wrong but this time I know I am. I have morning sickness."

"Because you're sick." Inuyasha snapped. It's been almost a whole month since he last seen Kagome and Kikyo talking about her pregnancy but he knew she was now lying since he hasn't touched since he told her he couldn't see her anymore.

"Inuyasha, I'm having your chi-" Inuyasha snatched the wire from the phone.

"FUCK!!" Inuyasha yelled slamming his phone on the ground letting it smash into little pieces. He knew he would have to buy another one so that pissed him off even more. He just sighed and laid on his bed looking at the ceiling.

There was a knock on the door. Inuyasha just turned over facing the window.

"Inuyasha dinner's ready." Izayoi said.

"Not hungry." Inuyasha replied. Izayoi sighed looking down.

"Honey please eat something. When was the last time you ate?"

"This morning." Inuyasha lied. Izayoi placed her hand gently on the door and she put her other hand on her chest. She knew he was lying and he was starting to scare her but she knew how stubborn he was.

"Alright honey. If you ever wanna talk just let me know. I love you Inuyasha."

"Love ya too Mom." Inuyasha said closing his eyes getting ready to get some sleep. Izayoi slowly walked away she walked downstairs to the diner room where Inutaisho, Shippo, Sesshoumaru and Rin now 2 months pregnant were sitting waiting for her and Inuyasha. Izayoi sat across from Shippo.

"He's not coming. He's not hungry." Izayoi told them looking down at her plate. She then snapped her head up. "Let's eat." She forced a big cheery smile on her face and began eating. It was a silent dinner for a while until Inutaisho interrupted the silence.

"What is that boy trying to do? Lock himself from the world? Ever since that girl left him he's been unseen, unheard and unnoticed and I'm getting mad. Sesshoumaru when was the last time he's been to school?"

"Uh since sometime last month I believe." Sesshoumaru shrugged. Inutaisho shook his head.

"He's in here sulking where that girl is probably out there doing her work."

"Actually Kagome isn't so good either. Though of course she expresses it differently." Rin spoke up. They all looked at her in curiosity.

"Is she ok Rin?" Izayoi asked in concern.

"I don't think so. She's over working herself. She stays at school late doing projects, she's joined clubs, she got a new job she works overtime every time I see her she looks overly exhausted. She's trying to find an apartment, she's looking for a new car, she's constantly cleaning her mother's house. The girl looks awfully I say she gets about 6 hours of sleep in one week and if she's lucky 8 I mean if that is even possible." Rin said with a worried expression on her face. "She's even passed out at work from exhaustion." Rin sighed shaking her head.

"Oh my that's not healthy for someone her age." Izayoi said she always like Kagome a lot better then Kikyo even though Izayoi had a big heart that anyone could fit in. She really got to know Kagome from their long talks sometimes Kagome would call her so they could have a conversation on the phone. They've been shopping together, Kagome even took her to a great spa place. Izayoi was proud to say Kagome was like her daughter just like Rin. Her husband never got the chance to find out what a great smart girl Kagome was and she was just what Inuyasha needed in his life.

"Geez so those two were made for each other then. Kagome works herself to death and Inuyasha just sulks and hopes he dies somewhere along the line. Hmmm a real match made from heaven. Speaking of heaven-"

"Don't you dare Inutaisho." Izayoi cut him off knowing exactly what he was going to say. She shook her head at her husband. Sometimes Inuyasha was just as his father and that was scary to her. She was worried about Kagome though and she had to know if she was ok.

Kagome tried to walk fast to her car, since it just started to pour and ran. Kagome put her grocery bags down and looked for her keys but she couldn't find them.

"Damnmit why am I always misplacing my keys. That's how I got into the hell I'm in now." Kagome suddenly stopped and looked around to see if she saw Kikyo anywhere. She then looked back into her bag then she felt the rain stop falling on her and she felt a presence around her. Kagome jerked her head up and met with brown eyes. "Oh um Ms. Izayoi. What are you doing out here in the rain?" Kagome asked. Izayoi smiled. "Do you think of me as an old lady?"

"No, you're far from being old." Izayoi giggled a little.

"Thank you dear. But why must you call me ms then? I think we had this discussion."

"Yeah but after everything that has been happening I thought you might not like me anymore." Kagome looked down feeling bad. Izayoi put her hand on Kagome's soaked shoulder causing Kagome to look at her. Izayoi smiled and shook her head.

"What goes on between you and my son stays between you and my son. I am not one of those petty mothers that try to protect her son from EVERYTHING." Izayoi gave Kagome a silly looking smile causing Kagome to giggle a little. Izayoi looked around. "Oh great my taxi left me." She sighed. "Good help is hard to find nowadays."

"Can I help you?" Kagome asked her. Izayoi giggled.

"You help me? You can't even find your keys that you dropped." Izayoi held up Kagome's keys.

"Christ normal people drop papers, beepers, cell phones and stuff like that. I drop my last chance of getting home." Kagome shook her head. "Thank Izayoi."

"Anytime."

"Now can I offer you that ride?" Kagome smiled.

"If it's not too much to ask."

"Oh no of course not." Kagome opened the back door putting her grocery bags in there. She then opened the driver's side unlocking the doors.

"Get in you're soaking already, I'll make it my side dry." Izayoi laughed. Kagome smiled and got in her car, Izayoi got in the car closing the door. "Wow this rain was sure a surprise."

"Tell me about it. But it's spring already." Kagome said as she backed out her parking space and drove off.

"That's right I remember Rin had her nineteenth birthday party at the house did you come?" Izayoi questioned. Kagome shook her head.

"No, I didn't but I gave her my present. I didn't go to Miroku's 21st party either and that was all the way in January."

"Why not?" Izayoi asked looking at her. Kagome shrugged her shoulders.

"Busy. I been very busy trying to figure out where I wanna be and what I wanna do."

"In other words you're trying to work away your problems and you haven't been hanging with your friends lately because you want to avoid seeing Inuyasha at all cost because you're not ready to face him." Izayoi smiled. Kagome shrunk down a bit.

"No, my working habits has nothing to do with Inuyasha."

"Honey my mother use to tell me for every lie you tell you get a wrinkle. Why do you think my face is wrinkle free." Izayoi laughed. Kagome chuckled a bit.

"Is that true?"

"I don't know I never questioned my mother. Sometimes I wished I had because she confused me a lot as a child." They both shared a good laugh.

"But I don't work to get over Inuyasha."

"Kagome darling I heard you when you lied the first time you don't have to lie to me twice in one day before the hour is over." Izayoi smirked, Kagome giggled knowing she knew her too well.

"Ok maybe a little."

"You want me to be honest with you?"

"Sure." Kagome said though she was nervous because she knew Izayoi had a real blunt tongue but she never tend on hurting feelings. She just told the truth.

"Before I say what I have to say, I remember when Sesshoumaru was in high school I think it was his sophomore year and he wanted to be on the football team, Inutaisho told him that he was too skinny and nerdy looking to get on the football team and Sesshoumaru said this one line that I couldn't help but pick up on it."

"What was that?" Kagome questioned a little curious.

"He said to his father Truth Without Compassion Is Called Brutality. And from that point on we always said that to the person giving out the hard truth which always happened to be my husband and I. Now I thought about that and uh well I'm about to be brutally honest with you. Not to be mean but because I love you like my own daughter. Ok?"

"Yeah." Kagome nodded definitely getting scared to know now.

"You're not being a real woman Kagome. Everyone wanna down on Inuyasha for not being a real man by coming to you and telling you that he slept with Kikyo and believe me honey I agree with that. But it takes a real woman to put man in his place about being a real man. All this I can't fucking believe you and blah, blah, blah fuck you blah, blah, blah....Not uh." Izayoi shook her head. "That just shows how emotionally immature you are. Cursing, yelling, thrashing and crashing has to go. It takes a real woman to sit in front of that man look him in the eyes and say what do I mean to you. Not just as your woman but as a person you know?" Izayoi explained. "Now I have to give Inuyasha more credit then you. He did try talking things out with you but you refused to speak to him."

"But that was because I wasn't ready to talk to him emotionally I was hurt."

"Kagome honey listen to me. I been married to Inutaisho since I was 17 and he was 19. Sesshoumaru was one when I became his mother at the age of 17 which meant I was pregnant with Inuyasha since they are only a year apart ok?" Izayoi asked Kagome who nodded her head. "I am now 37 I been with my husband for 21 years now. He cheated on me, he had an affair, he had him a mistress. Now I was married to the man now tell me how do you think I felt? At least you can have space from Inuyasha since you both are still single but I had to share the same house with the man, the same bed and to top it off I wasn't suppose to know. But I knew I overheard his father and him arguing I was crashed, hurt. I couldn't believe he was the same man that told me he would love me forever. Now I had to be a real woman and approach him like a real woman and put him in his place. I asked him straight out what do I mean to you?"

"What he said?" Kagome asked. Izayoi giggled.

"Can't tell you everything." Izayoi winked at Kagome who laughed.

"How does asking him what I mean to him explain about his cheating?"

"It will in that answer. I can't tell you what Inuyasha will say but you know what you mean to him by his answer."

"How?" Kagome asked. Izayoi laughed and smiled.

"We don't have a woman's intuition for nothing. Use it sometime it works. But only if you trust yourself if you don't trust yourself then it won't work."

"Is that why you stayed with your husband? By using that?"

"Something like that honey. All I'm saying is just talk to Inuyasha and see what he had to say."

"But he lied to me." Kagome said with a little anger building up.

"You deserved it." Kagome's eyes widen and she looked at Izayoi for a second before looking back at the road.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked in a little shock. She didn't think she deserved to be lied to.

"Because you lie to yourself. Honey when you lie to yourself how do you expect someone to be truthful to you?" Izayoi asked looking at Kagome. "Don't sit there and think you are the best person for him because I can grantee you one thing, there is another woman out there that is better then you. It's up to the man if he will consider you as the best now don't get me wrong it's the same exact way with us. I know there is another man out there that can love me better then Inutaisho but you know what I chose him for the best man for me." Kagome looked down in guilt she was acting over confident feeling that Kikyo was inferior to her the whole time. Kagome then remembered an earlier comment that Izayoi made.

"But what do I lie to myself about?" Kagome asked looking confused. Izayoi giggled.

"I may know a lot honey but that's something you have to figure out on your own."

"But how can you expect me to take him back?" Kagome asked as she pulled up to the house.

"Honey, I never said I expect you to take him back. I mean you don't have to. If you feel in your heart you can't then don't. All I'm saying is that powerful line forgive and forget. After all didn't you cheat on Kouga?" Izayoi asked looking at Kagome. Kagome looked down in shame.

"I did."

"Yeah so us women have our flaws too but hey we can't dwell on the past." Izayoi pecked Kagome's right temple. "Anyhoo whatever your verdict is don't let it keep you from calling me. You're like my daughter sweets." Izayoi smiled opening the door she opened her umbrella. "Thanks for the ride."

"Anytime." Kagome forced a small smile on her face. Izayoi winked at her and closed the door Kagome drove off. Izayoi walked to the front door. "Well I snapped some sense into one and now it's time for the other." She thought about it for a moment and sighed. "It's gonna be a long day."

Kagome drove off to her house in a small daze. She knew deep down in her heart she wanted to be with Inuyasha. Kagome smiled to herself for the first time in her life she was in love.
