InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Falling For the Baby Sitter ❯ Unmother ( Chapter 30 )

"Pshhhh ...I did no such thing," He said with a yawn.

There was a knock at the door and then it opened to reveal the bright shining face of Miroku. "Good morning," he said cheerily. "Are you up for visitors?"

Kagome grunted and looked over at him. "Depends. Does said visitor plan to grab my ass and bruise my backside?"

Miroku looked shocked. "That hurts, Kagome, and if you recall you grabbed me the other day," he said as him and Kouga walked into the room.

Kagome smirked and leaned back. "Yea, well, a woman's needs to satisfy her sexual cravings go justified. We have to bear children in this world, lest we have no purpose."

Inu Yasha's eyes flashed with sadness at her statement and turned his gaze to Kouga. "Did okaasan send me some clothes?"

Kouga smiled and dropped a small bag into his lap "You know she did and good morning to you, too, Inu." Kouga leaned over and kissed Inu Yasha's cheek and then looked over to Kagome.

"Kagome, I am glad to see you with some color this morning. You scared the life out of me last night."

Sango grumbled as she walked back into the room. "Not that it didn't take some bitching to get him out of the club."

Kagome laughed slightly and shook her head. "I'm sorry I worried all of you." The look in Inu Yasha's eyes hadn't gone unnoticed by her, and again that same feeling of unease dropped out from beneath her. She plastered a fake smile on her face and faced the four surrounding her. "Unfortunately for you, I lived, and I'm still as much of the pain in the ass as ever."

Miroku smiled and leaned against the wall. "That's the only way we would have you, Kagome."

Kouga and Inu Yasha laughed.

"If you weren't a pain in the ass, you just wouldn't be Kagome." Inu Yasha said as he opened the bag and looked inside.

Kagome arched a brow as something fell out of the bag. "Nice G-string, Inu." Sango smirked, and her face turned red as he tried not to laugh.

Inu Yasha bent down and snatched up the underwear and blushed a bright red. "Shut up..."he grumbled.

Miroku rolled his eyes. "I could have lived without seeing that."

Kouga just shrugged and sat down.

Sango leaned against Miroku's shoulder and watched Kagome as she eyes Inu Yasha's face for any hint more to what was bothering him.

Inu Yasha pulled out a black t-shirt and pulled it on. He glanced over at Kagome and then over to Sango giving her a 'Why-doesn't-Kagome-know-yet?' look.

Sango's brows shot up and her mouth formed a small 'o'. Kagome's eyes darted between Sango and Inu Yasha.

"Ok. Enough ESP. Someone's going to tell me what the hell is going on, and they're going to tell me now." Sango blinked and stepped back. "Ehhhhh...Duty call." She pretended to check her beeper and rushed out.

Inu Yasha stood up quickly, pulling Kouga up with him. "Food run..."He walked towards the door with a very confused Kouga in tow.

Miroku stood there looking around. "Huh?" he said as his eyes glanced from person to person.

"Inu Yasha!" Kagome barked, looking semi-dangerous. She threw her covers back and stood up storming out of the room after him, ignoring the pain that shot through her entire right side of her body.

Kouga spun around and stopped Kagome. "Kagome, go and lay down please..."

She stopped in the middle of the hallway and stared at the back of Inu Yasha's head. "Why won't you tell me? It's bad isn't it?" She turned and punched the wall in frustration. "Dammit, it's my body; I should know what's wrong with it!"

Kouga gently pulled Kagome back towards her room. "Come with me, Kagome, and we will talk," he said in a quiet tone as Inu Yasha stood frozen to his spot in the hall, unable to turn around and look at Kagome.

Kagome eyed him and turned walk with Kouga, glancing over her shoulder at Inu Yasha.

Kouga led her into her room and helped her into the bed. He then pulled a chair up by her bed. "What is it you would like to know, Kagome-chan." He looked over at her kindly.

Kagome scowled darkly. "I would like to know what Inu Yasha and Sango are so blatantly trying to hide."

Kouga slumped down into the chair and closed his eyes. "Your injuries were extensive, Kagome, I am sure you know that."

She nodded apprehensively. A bitter laugh pushed up out of her chest. "What, am I gonna die in seven days or something? Did he steal my kidney? My liver? My gallbladder? Dammit, what is it?"

Kouga opened his eyes; a soft kind of sadness was settled into the deep pools of blue. "No, I don't think you're going to die, but there is a possibility that he did take something precious from you, but we are not sure of that, yet."

Kagome laughed again, the same bitterness in her tone as before. "Well, he sure as all didn't take my virginity, if that's what you mean by precious. I mean, I ain't mother Mary here, I can't give birth without losing it."

Kouga sighed and looked her in the eyes. "You might not be able to do that anymore."

Kagome face went completely blank for a while. A sick feeling crept into her stomach, hoping, praying, she had misunderstood him. For the third time, the sour laugh burbled up from her throat. "What did he do? Sew me shut? Damn, guess I'll have to start enjoying anal."

Kouga shook his head. "No, Kagome, it's not that simple," he stated in a calm tone. "You may not be able to have anymore children."

Everything seemed to crash down around Kagome at once. A deep, sullen silence clouded her brain and her hand drifted down to her abdomen. She dropped onto the bed as her knees gave out and she stared at the wall for a second. So, it was like she first thought. Her mind went over what she had just recently said to Miroku. 'We have to bear children in this world, lest we have no purpose.' That's what she had said. A complete numbness took over her body, dissolving away even the pain from her swollen stitches.

Kouga reached over and touched her shoulder when a few moments of silence went by. "Kagome, speak to me…" he whispered quietly.

She sat there staring at the wall before speaking torpidly in a hoarse voice. "Inu Yasha is waiting for your outside..."

"Inu Yasha can wait, he isn't going anywhere for right now," Kouga said as he watched the girl. "For right now, I am concerned about you."

Kouga squeezed her shoulder. "You're lying."

She jerked away from him and stood up, shoving him towards the door, a blind rage taking hold of her body. "Kouga, get OUT of here!" Her voice shook and tears gathered in her eyes as she glared at him without seeing him.

Kouga stumbled back and looked at her. "No, I will not." He walked back over to her and pulled her into a hug. "I don't care if you beat the hell out of me, I am going to try to help you."

She let out a choked sob and shoved him away again, pushing him towards the door. "Get OUT!" she screamed loudly.

Kouga's eyes flashed onto her face. "I am not the cold hearted son of a bitch you want to make me out to be, Kagome."

The girl froze as her empty gaze stared out at the wall across the hallway. For a few moments she just stood there, her chest heaving with the ragged breaths she was pulling in. Taking her next couple of steps forward, she shoved Kouga completely out of the room and slammed the door shut. Flipping the lock, she sunk against the door and dropped her head between her hands, holding her head up by clenching her fists in her hair.

Kouga stood outside her room and leaned his head on the door. "I'm not a monster, Kagome, though you think I am," he muttered to the door.

Tears that had been welling up from deep within her chest, spilled from her eyes and splashed against the ground in a constant stream.

Sango, who had heard Kagome scream, stood down the hall, her hand pressed firmly against her chest. She knew the news was going to hit the other girl hard. She had always loved children, and always wanted three or four of her own.

Sango remembered back in high school when they used to stay up all night, planning out the names of their children, where they would live, and so on. She remembered one night Kagome wrinkled her nose at Sango's scoffing laugh of only having one kid. She had spurred into a long speech about how lonely that kid would be growing up and how she would die before she had only one kid. She had only been joking, but still… Sango sighed as she looked away.

Inu Yasha looked over to Sango, his face looking as if it aged twenty years in a single moment of time. "It's my fault she is going through this, you know. I shouldn't have let her out of my sight."

The other girl shook her head and sighed. "Don't blame yourself, Inu Yasha…"

The girl in the hospital room curled her knees up to her chest, and wrapped her arms around them tightly. Her hair fell over her face as she huddled against the door. The tears had stopped a while ago, but the numbness remained as she rocked back and forth.

Inu Yasha walked over to the door and quietly knocked on it. "Kagome...open the door, will you?" He said in the softest voice that he had ever used. "Please?"

Sango peered over at Inu Yasha and walked to the door quietly. She pulled a ring of keys out of her pocket and selected one with the number of the room on it, and flipped open the lock for him.

Inu Yasha smiled sadly back at the others as he opened the door and went in. "Kagome," he said as his eyes landed on the mess of a girl. Inu Yasha quietly made his way over to her and sat down next to her, not saying a word.

She sat hunched over, her head tilted downward; not saying anything, barely even realizing someone had entered the room.

He reached over and stroked her hair. "Kagome, you need to get back into bed. You're not going to get well sitting here like this," he whispered to her.

She flinched at his touch but didn't look up. She just continued rocking herself slowly, trying to rationalize things out in her mind.

Inu Yasha frowned. "Damn it, Kagome, look at me," he said a little louder as he reached over and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Get into bed."

Kagome's blank gaze settled on his, and a tear splashed against his fingers as it made its way down her cheek.

"Now what would Mayu think if she saw you acting like this?" he asked quietly. "You have to think about her and get into bed so you can get well." He wiped her tears away with his thumb.

Her eyebrows drew together as flashes of Mayu entered her brain. What was going to happen when she found out that she wouldn't have any brothers and sisters? A deeper look of sadness took over the girl's face and she shut her eyes, tears leaking out from under her heavy lashes.

Inu Yasha sighed. "I'm sorry; I am not good at this kind of thing." He pulled his hand back into his lap and stared off at the wall, feeling helpless.

As another bout of sobs racked her body, Kagome drew up against Inu Yasha's side, crying against his shoulder. How could this be happening?

He leaned his head over and rested his cheek on top of her head. "Cry as much as you want, Kagome, it's better to let it out than hold it in."

Sango peered into the room as she watched Kagome cry against Inu Yasha. She leaned back against Miroku on impulse, sighing. Her gaze drifted over to Kouga. "Sorry you had to be the one to tell her..." she murmured.

Kouga sighed. "It's ok; I don't think Inu Yasha could have done it."

Miroku sighed and rested his chin on Sango's head. "She is strong, she will recover from this," Miroku said confidently.

Sango looked down at the ground. "She's not taking it too well right now..."

Miroku's dark eyes clouded over with emotion. "She has had a grand gift taken away from her. How is she supposed to take it?"

Kouga leaned against the wall. "Maybe a miracle will happen and all will be ok," Kouga said as he closed his eyes.

Sango sighed and looked down at the ground, not trusting herself to say a word. She hoped the situation would turn around, truly she did. After a while she drug the boys away from the door and tugged them to the cafeteria, figuring that she had better find them better entertainment then Kagome's tears.

Inu Yasha sat there beside the crying girl. "Listen, I honestly think you need to get some rest, Kagome," he said as his hand found its way to hers and giving it a slight squeeze. "Get some rest."

As her tears subsided she stared down at the ground. "Don't I have a purpose, now?" she rasped out in a hoarse voice.

Inu Yasha smiled. "Your purpose is to raise Mayu." He paused dramatically and then threw his arm over his eyes. "And to keep my room clean." He smirked as he opened an eye and peeked over at her. "You know how bad I suck at that."

She wrinkled her nose at him and made a face. Her eyes drifted shut and she pictured his bedroom and how it was before she attacked it with her cleaning skills. A small smile drifted across her lips and she lifted her gaze to his. "Yea. Who else would clean the old used condoms and sex toys out from under your bed?"

He choked. "Huh....What?" He looked over at her, his face now scarlet. "Heh...knowing you...you probably borrowed some."

She arched a brow slightly. "Oh yes. Right after I got done scrubbing off the caked on KY and other unidentifiable substances.

Inu Yasha growled. "Oh shut up and get your ass into bed before I make Kouga come in and sit with you." He stood up slowly and pulled her to her feet. "Time for you to get into bed," he said as he led her over to the bed.

She sat down on the bed slowly and looked up at him. "Inu Yasha?" she asked quietly.

His dark eyes looked down at her as he pulled the blankets up over her legs. "What is it, Kagome?"

"Thank you..." she said softly as she lay back against the bed.

Inu Yasha smiled, relief flashing over his face. "It's no problem, Kagome." He sat down in a chair next to her bed and closed his eyes and yawned.

She smiled slightly as she turned her head to look at him. "When do I get to go home?"

He grunted. "I have no damn idea, you need to ask Sango that next time you see her."

She made a face at him and grunted, getting comfortable. "I tell you one thing, if you don't have me out of here by tomorrow morning, your ass is mine," she muttered.

He smirked with his eyes still closed. "Hop in line, Kagome, because it's a long wait to get your hands on that."

One brow arched, she dropped an arm off of the bed and reached over, and pinched his ass cheek from the side opening in the chair.

He yelped and jumped at least three inches out of the chair. "Hey that's sexual harassment of your employer, I let you know." He tried to look pissed as he rubbed his ass cheek.

Smirking, she leaned back, folding her arms behind her head. "Oooh, punish me, Yasha, punish me, pleeasee," she said in a sultry voice.

He smirked. "Fine, I think I will." Inu Yasha got up from his chair and walked over to her bed and leaned over into her face. His lips were millimeters from hers and his hair brushed against her face.

A blush sprung up to her face and her breath caught in her throat as her eyes captured his when he leaned over her.

His dark eyes locked onto hers. "Are you ready for your punishment?" His hot breath landed on her cheek as he spoke to her.

If possible, her blush intensified as she looked up at him. "N-nani?" Her stuttering whisper made her lips nearly touch his as she lie transfixed in his gaze.

Inu Yasha smirked as he whispered into her ear. "You're fired."
