A/N Yes, people, I am back! I can't promise more frequent updates, but there will be updates. So, stay tuned and don't change that dial…or something…
Oh! Quick thing! One the first chappie, I wrote that Kagome was 5 months pregnant. Well, change that to 3 months. I don't know if I made it something else in other chappies, but officially, she is three months pregnant. It'll make sense later on. Remember that!!
The ending is a little OC, or poetic, or emo. Something like that. But it goes with the story.

Nothing

One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.

October 27, 2006

Kagome laughed as she kept eating her dinner. She was finally able to eat solid foods and to celebrate, all her friends came to see as she ate her first solid meal. Everyone surrounded her and cheered when she took her first bite. Now, they all mingled about in the room, not wanting to leave, using this opportunity to catch up with one another and to catch up with Kagome.
"Alright. Now that we've seen Kagome eat, I propose we go get take out or something." Ayumi said, rubbing her stomach. Kagome looked at her, ready to offer her some food, but everyone in the room seemed to catch on to her train of thoughts and protests immediately filled her room. She shook her head as the comments of her friends and family filled her head, the loudest being Souta's voice.
"Ugh! Fine, okay! I get it." Kagome blinked and her orange eyes cleared up. "I was just trying to be nice and to make up for what I did to one of my dearest and closest friends and all that other mushy stuff."
"No, it's alright, Kagome." Ayumi said as she sat next to her friend. "I shouldn't have provoked you like that. Besides, worse things have happened."
"Are you sure? Because you know I would never hurt you. And I feel so crappy because at the time, I wanted to." Kagome said.
"It's my fault as much as it's yours. So, forgive and forget. Alright?" Ayumi offered. Kagome smiled and hugged her long-time friend. Hojo walked over and placed a comforting hand on his fiancé's shoulder. Kagome looked at them and smiled softly.
"Aww, you guys look so cute." The engaged pair blushed, but smiled at each other anyways. Across the room, Kouga stopped mid-conversation with his new mate and looked at Kagome, having a feeling of déjà vu wash over him.
"Wait a minute." Kouga mumbled. He thought hard and finally remembered when he heard those words. "Hey! Kagome!"
The wolf demon's outburst had silenced the room and every one turned to stare at the investigator. His beloved slapped her forehead.
"Oh, dear lord. Help me." she muttered. A few snickers scattered about in the room. "Oh, please, Kouga just let whatever thought you have in your head die. Just let it go."
"No, she has to explain to me why is it that she's calling Ayumi and Hojo cute when she called us that." Kouga told his mate. "Remember? When we had just mated. She called us 'cute'."
"No, you dumb-ass, I called her cute and you just plain dangerous to her health." Kagome said. Laughter erupted from the room and Kouga frowned.
"But, you pointed at the both of us and called us 'cute'. You said it. I know you did." Kouga said. "You said we were so cute. Just like what you did with Ayumi and Hojo."
"Maybe she called you guys 'sexy'? Didn't she do the same with us?" Miroku called out, referring the last question to his wife. Sango shrugged.
"Dunno know." she replied.
"No, Miroku. I called you and Sango horny. There's a difference. Asides, I called Rin 'sexy' and Sesshomaru 'the sex object'." Kagome pointed out. Said couple looked at each other. Rin wagged her eyebrows and winked, suggesting something. Miroku whistled and Sango smacked him.
"Did you really call her cute and me dangerous?" Kouga asked in a small sad tone. Kagome's eyes soften. She could be cruel to the guy and him vice versa, but in the end, she couldn't keep the lie up.
"No, I called you guys imaginary because she's so beautiful and Kouga, you can be a beast." Kagome said, referring to one of her favorite children's stories. Kouga smiled and went to her, hugging her and kissing her forehead.
"Thanks, kiddo." She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Okay, enough with the mushy mushy or Ayame will rip Kagome's balls off." Souta spoke up. Laughter spilled from throats and the conversations resumed. Everyone was happy. Everyone was joyous, but not everyone was there.
Practically at the other side of town, Inuyasha Takahashi sat in his dining room. What used to be their dining room. In what used to be their house. Her things were still here, but she hasn't been in her own home for months.
He held his glass of whiskey and quickly finished it, enjoying the burning sensation. He was a fool. An idiot. And some part of him agreed with what Kagome was doing. She had every right to dump his useless, disgusting, filthy half-breed ass and move on to better things. He always knew that she could do better. He always knew that he was holding her back. She was just filled with such passion and talent. But he hid her from the world, afraid that she would leave him.
Afraid that she, the only woman in his life, would leave him more tormented and traumatized than the way his mother left him. Afraid that he would have to learn how to live without her being there, the way his mother left him. Afraid that he would feel scared and agonized over and over again, like how he felt when his father left him. So afraid….so terrified…
……that he turned and tried to beat her to the punch that would never be delivered. Bit by bit, he began to show signs of adultery, the very first being hiring Kikyo Avalon as his secretary.

May 11, 1991

Kagome was right. And she was so happy, so glad, so relieved that she had been. She opened up and told him everything (her parents, their death, life before and with Naraku, anything and everything she could think of). Inuyasha had been ever so grateful for that and in return told her his problems (he actually had some!). Because of that, Kagome and Inuyasha were just plain inseparable. They were practically joined at the hip and it freaking rocked her world.
As weird as that sounds. But that was how they both felt. Well, at least that's what Kagome thought because she had never heard Inuyasha complain and he stalked her as much as she stalked him. They were so comfortable they would actually tease each other sexually. Smacking his ass, cupping her breast, staring, making jokes, gestures, and suggestions.
During school, he was attached to her no matter what. Didn't matter that they came from different social circles, that Kouga still didn't trust Inuyasha, and that Kikyo seemed hell-bent on getting him back. Kagome and Inuyasha, Inuyasha and Kagome, the best of friends!
"Are you happy with how things are between us?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha stopped chewing his pretzels and looked up and over his shoulder to look at his miko friend, who was sitting on his bed. He swallowed the salty snack and stared at her. Kagome frowned and crawled forward, waving her hand in his face. "Hello, baka! I'm talking to you!"
"I see cleavage! And a lovely garment." He teased. Kagome looked down and frowned. Her tank top had lowered and the top of her breasts could be seen, along with her bright, yellow bra. She straightened out her shirt, cursing the heat that had forced her to strip of her regular T-Shirt.
"Now that you've seen half of my boobs and would most likely be masturbating later thinking of 'em, would you mind answering my question?" Kagome snapped. Inuyasha smirked and jumped up. He brushed off crumbs from his tank top and shorts and sat next to her.
"Am I happy with how things are between us?" Inuyasha repeated her question. He thought about and smiled at her. "Of course I am. We pig out together, bond a lot, and every now and then, I get to see a part of your body."
"You perv!" she laughed as she hit his arm when he started waggling his eyebrows. She flipped around and stared at the ceiling. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She turned to her hanyou friend who was quickly becoming her best friend. "So then…things are okay? Awesome?"
"Ah, of course." Inuyasha said. He looked at her confused. "What's going on? Why the questions?"
"Well, we never really talked about that night and I thought you were only sticking around to analyze me or something?" She said, chewing her lip. "That night was really frightening for me and well, I dunno. I was scared because of your reaction the next day and I was so nervous and scared 'cause I thought you would reject me. Call me stupid, but yeah. I thought things would be completely different and you and I would lose the awesome friendship we were forming."
"Kagome, you are stupid." Inuyasha said. She looked at him shocked, her mouth opened. She sat up and smacked him.
"You jerk, you're supposed to make me feel better." Kagome said. He smiled and chuckled.
"I'm supposed, but eh." Inuyasha said. He grabbed Kagome, and despite her protests, placed her on his lap and held her. "You dumbass, why would I simply go away because you have a nervous breakdown, or whatever you wanna call it? I practically caused it and I just couldn't leave you alone. Asides, you are right. I have a hero-like complex and I wanted to see if I could save you."
"You're making me feel like I'm a cat stuck up a tree." Kagome muttered into his chest. Her arms wrapped around his waist and his hands her held by her back and her ass. "Except, you're feeling me up."
"Well, fuck me smart and call me stupid, I am, aren't I?" Inuyasha grinned, yet did not move his hand. Kagome shrugged, not minding where it was. She was safe with him. She felt safe and no longer had any silly reason to worry. "Look, you are one of my closest friends. I wouldn't leave you alone like that. I wanna help you fight Naraku at all costs, okay. Can't get rid of me that easily."
"Not even if I threw a bone and told you to fetch?" Kagome teased. She looked up and him and stared into his amber eyes. He grinned and Kagome's breath hitched when his mouth became dangerously close to his. He was only teasing and tried to see how far she would be willing to go, something he had always wanted to find out.
"No. I'm annoying that way." Inuyasha said huskily. Kagome laughed and his smirk just got bigger. She looked at his lips, which had suddenly become tempting. The room seemed hotter than before and she really wanted to close the gap between them.
"Oh, what the fuck." Kagome said and closed said gap. Inuyasha seemed surprised as the kiss turned incredibly heated incredibly fast. Hands were tangled in each others' hair and Kagome broke the kiss to straddle him. They resumed the kiss and soon, tongues were clashing and hands were roaming. All that mattered for them was the lust. They needed to feel each other. There had been too much teasing between them and it finally broke loose.
Unfortunately, it would have to wait another day because Inuyasha's ears managed to catch the soft footsteps of Sesshomaru over his and Kagome's labored breathing. He pulled away, she was confused, and he motioned that someone was coming. She understood and quickly got off of him, making sure to leave him behind a little present. She fixed her hair and her top and sat down on the floor. Inuyasha also fixed his hair, his top, and buttoned his pants, shooting a look to a grinning Kagome.
"Ooh, watch yourself." He whispered to her. She licked her lips and looked at him with a lustful, sexy look that had him biting back a groan. She turned to the TV and raised the volume of the action film they were watching. The hero of the movie was currently trying to beat up a few dozen henchmen and his shirt was just ripped off. The foot steps had stopped right outside the door.
"God, can these movies get any cheesier?" she asked Inuyasha. He looked startled and grabbed some pretzels, pretending to have been eating them. The scene of the movie changed to that of a hot woman clad is in barely there clothing screaming her head off as she was being kidnapped.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I was kinda distracted by that one chick with the outfit." He said, clearing his throat. Kagome shot him a look and he coughed, motioning to his erection.
"Why do you have to be such a guy?" Kagome scoffed and threw him a pillow. Inuyasha quickly placed it over his lap and laughed. The door opened and Sesshomaru stepped in. Kagome looked at him and smiled. "Hey, Sess! What's up?"
"Nothing. I just arrived home and was looking for you, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru stated. "Hello, Kagome, nice to see you again for the fifth time this week. I believe that is a new record."
"Awesome!" Kagome grinned. She grabbed the bag of pretzels next to Inuyasha and began to munch on them. "So, to what do we owe this lovely visit?"
"Well, Rin is coming over later on and I would deeply appreciate it if Inuyasha was here to help cheer her up. Her boyfriend broke up with her and I think Inuyasha's stupidity always manages to cheer up Rin." Sesshomaru said. Inuyasha frowned.
"Yeah, sure. I'll do. Even though you insulted me and made me feel like a fucking clown. But no worries. Anything for my loveable brother who seems to love making me suffer." Inuyasha said mockingly. Kagome threw him a handful of pretzels and he tried to catch as many as he could.
"You idiot! You're just a distraction while Sesshomaru goes and beats up Rinnie's ex. Duh?" Kagome said. Sesshomaru smiled and nodded.
"Right. That's the plan. Glad to see at least one of you guys has a brain." The tall, full-blooded demon said and left the room, closing the door behind him to block out Inuyasha's protests.
"Oh, be quiet. I think it's sweet." Kagome said as she continued hogging the bag of pretzels, her eyes on the TV screen. "The guy really respects and loves Rin that he's willing to beat up the ex. He was the one who set them up in the first place because he wanted her to be happy. He had Kagura to keep him distracted, but that wasn't enough because Kagura wasn't Rin so he was forced to break up with her. And then Rinnie's boyfriend breaks up with her, so now he wants to be the one to make her happy. "
Inuyasha stayed silent once Kagome finished her long explanation. Meanwhile, she kept eating the pretzels, stopping a few times to take a drink of iced tea. Inuyasha blinked, and she saw from the corner of her eyes, but continued watching the television.
"Okay, sure. Just give me some damn pretzels." Inuyasha told her. She shook her head, and held the bag closer to her torso. "Kagome! Give me some damn pretzels!"
"No! Come and get them yourself." Kagome said. Her words held another suggesting and Inuyasha grinned as he quickly tackled her. Kagome grunted at the impact and a grinning Inuyasha laid on top of her. The bag was underneath her, the salty snack crushed.
"You were say, love?" Inuyasha said with a ridiculous British accent that had Kagome laughing. Inuyasha nipped at her neck, daring not to touch the spot of where (if it was a demon) her mate would mark her, and began to kiss his way up to her lips. Her laughter was silenced and she began to respond to his kisses.
They were both panting and their hair was in knots again. Inuyasha's hands roamed her body while her hands roamed his. His erection was alive once more and Kagome could feel. She rolled her hips and Inuyasha broke the kiss, hissing.
"Jesus!" Inuyasha groaned, loving the feel of her sex on his manhood. It tortures his so, but the feeling in unbelievable. He rested his forehead against her chest and tried to breath, but Kagome kept rolling her hips, practically humping him. His breathing was becoming really labored and his demon-half was threatening to come out.
"Excuse you, my name is Kagome." She replied smartly. He promptly shut her up as his hand cupped her breast underneath her bra and his lips begin to attack her once more. She moaned and began to kiss his neck. Her hands trailed down from his abs and dangerously lingered at the hem of his pants. He growled and she snickered, enjoying the teasing. And that's what they kept doing for quite a while. Teasing, kissing, giving in to the lust they themselves built up.
Eventually, they did stop and they simply laid there, staring at each other, wondering why it was that they were able to do this without feeling anything for one another. Sure they worried and cared for one another, yet there was no…love? They were no fireworks between them, no explosions, but there was lust. They craved each other's touch, kiss, sex. It was confusing, especially for her seeing as how Naraku made it nearly impossible for her to want the touch of any male.
Nothing was said. Both knew this would be the start of a more sexual friendship and with that, resumed the teasing.

Kagome grinned as she watched the small figure on the screen move around. The doctor next to her wore a soft smile, knowing the past of her patient, happy to see her smiling with joy. The small figure moved again and Kagome's grin became even bigger.
"Well, I see that we especially happy to see that this beloved baby happens to be kicking you. A lot." The doctor mused. Kagome's fiery eyes twinkled as she felt another kick. She nodded to the doctor's words and continued watching the screen. "Alright, Momma Kagome, I'll print you some pictures and you can add them to your scrapbook."
"Awesome!" Kagome breathed out. The doctor pressed some buttons on the machine that allowed the miko to be able to see her reason for living and black and white pictures of her soon to be baby were produced. The cold gel was wiped from her stomach and the doctor smiled.
"Well, this little tyke is due in less than three weeks. Most likely, this will be the last check up and soon enough, next time you see him or her, she or him will be in your arms." The doctor told her patient. "Just remember to try and heal up as much as possible because this delivery will be a hell of a lot more dangerous than the birth of your first child."
"Kyo." Kagome said. "My little boy. He'll be turning 4 in January."
"Well, lucky little kid. I heard that he was in kindergarten." The doctor said. She inwardly winced, praying to the gods that her words would not cause another really, really bad reaction. Though, her patient had been improving a lot lately, so maybe words didn't provoke her any longer. "Isn't he a little young?"
"He is. But he really wanted to go to school like his big brother and sister. He would bug us constantly, saying, 'When do I get to go to school? Mommy, I wanna go to school too! Like Shippo and Akiko!' We finally gave up and signed him up in this class where young toddlers can go. Kinda like before pre-kindergarten, but the teacher likes to call it kindergarten so the kids will feel special." Kagome said, chuckling at the memories that washed over her.
"Wow, that sounds neat." The doctor said, making a mental note to Google the classes later on for her daughter's kids. "You're probably gonna do the same for this little munchkin, aren't you?"
”Yeah, I want to. I really do." The pregnant woman wrapped her arms around her bulging stomach and closed her eyes, relaxing her body and almost making it seem like she was peacefully sleeping. Not wanting to disturbed her, the doctor quickly and quietly exited the room, leaving Kagome to her thoughts.
"Soon." She whispered to her unborn baby. "You'll be here soon.

May 14, 1991

Inuyasha grunted as he closed his gym locker. Football practice had just ended and he was exhausted. He wanted to go home and relax. And eat. And maybe fool around with Kagome a bit. Or a lot. A smile settled on his face and it was quickly noticed by his friend.
"Holy crap! Dude, there's something on your face!" Miroku exclaimed loudly. The locker room went quiet as everyone turned to the two friends. Inuyasha seemed slightly startled and re-opened his locker, searching for something on his reflected face. He didn't spot anything and was two seconds from beating his friend when he spoke again. "Was that….was that a smile?"
"Christ! Miroku! Making us fucking panic that his herpes might be spreading." Kouga said. The room roared with laughter as Inuyasha flicked off the wolf demon. "Naw thanks. Ayumi keeps me company."
Whistles and comments filled the room and immediately Kouga was bombarded with questions about his relationship with the smart treasurer of the school who was gaining small popularity amongst her peers. Kouga quickly grabbed his stuff and left the room, not before cursing at Inuyasha's laughter. Miroku laughed as well, but once everyone resumed to whatever they were doing, he drew his friend's attention once more.
"I'm serious though. What's up with that smile?" Inuyasha remained silent and continued to tie his shoes. Miroku kept speaking as he clean up his locker and packed his stuff up. "The last time I saw a smile like that was when you were going out with Kikyo."
"Ah! That's a period of my life I would very much love to forget about." Inuyasha growled. "Not that it's any of your business, pervert, but I'm just happy to be getting home and relaxing. I am tired and I need food."
"Isn't Sesshomaru home right now?" Miroku asked, letting the obvious lie go without much question. Inuyasha relaxed a bit and tied his other shoe.
"No. He left on Sunday. However, he did promise Mom and Pop to come home this weekend, and to bring Rin with him." Inuyasha said. Miroku raised an eyebrow. He finished packing and now waited for Inuyasha to finish.
"Bring her home? Doesn't she have a boyfriend and whatnot?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha nodded and grabbed his duffel bag. Miroku followed suit and both began making their way out. Inuyasha waited until they were out of the locker room hearing range before answering.
"Her boyfriend dumped her. Sesshomaru got mad and went to beat him up while I was distracting Rin. She found out, got upset, and screamed at Sesshomaru. He shut her up by making out with her and now they're going out and living happily ever after." Inuyasha said mockingly. "Mom didn't want to let Sesshomaru leave without having Rin over for dinner. So he promised to bring her over next time."
"Are you telling me that I missed all of this over the weekend?" Miroku asked in disbelief. Both guys were in the parking lot and soon climbed into Inuyasha's car, having said owner of car drop of his friend at his house before heading over this his own.
"Um, well, me and Kagome teased the shit out of Sesshomaru. There was a moment when we thought that he was blush, but then he started growling, so we aren't sure if it was out of embarrassment or anger." Inuyasha recalled. A fun weekend it was, making Sesshomaru squirm. Oh, and then he was making her squirm in a different way a few hours later. And the day after.
"Yash?" Miroku asked, waving his hand in front of his friend's face. It had taken him a while to realize that his friend was no longer paying attention when he wasn't receiving the usual grunts he got when talking. "Yo! Boy with the silver hair and bunny ears!"
"They're not bunny ears, dammit, they're fucking puppy ears." Inuyasha snapped and continued driving, not realizing how ridiculous that sounded. Miroku stared at his friend and began to laugh. "Shut the fuck up."
"I'm sorry, but that was just ridiculous." Miroku chuckled, wiping tears from his eyes. "May I ask exactly who told you about your ears?"
Inuyasha closed his eyes and let his head drop to the head rest after stopping at the red light. He scrunched up his face, realizing that no matter how hard he wished for it, Miroku would not disappear and would not let him forget this moment. So, instead, he saved himself that trouble and quickly mumbled that one name that would always haunt him.
"Excuse me?" Miroku asked. He heard his friend say something, but he wasn't really sure what he heard. He cupped his ear and leaned in to his friend.
"I said 'Gome." Inuyasha said a little louder this time. Miroku face was priceless and Inuyasha let out a chuckle. The light turned green and he sped away.
"Wow. I daresay that girl has seriously made sure to leave her mark on you." Miroku said. Inuyasha tensed, wondering if he had seen the hickey Kagome had left him. "Seriously, calling your ears puppy-like. Next thing you know, you're gonna be walking to places, dying your hair weird colors, and trying to free all the animals in the city pound."
"That was her?!" Inuyasha gaped. Miroku laughed and nodded.
"You didn't know?"
"She never told me!" Inuyasha said. A few months back, there had been several attempts to free the animals at the city pound. A few were successful and a few weren't. Nobody knew why this was happening, but it seemed really hilarious for the city to see a bunch of cats, dogs, birds, and other assorted animals being chased by fully grown men.
"Well, she said she didn't want many to know that it was her." Miroku said and instantly, Inuyasha understood why. Naraku would almost kill her if the media found out that his daughter, the daughter of a prominent, high class man, was a delinquent wrecking havoc on the city. "She's kinda like the troublemaker that doesn't want to take any of the credit."
"Okay? That makes sense in the way that troublemakers wanna take the credit for everything, even things that they didn't do." Inuyasha replied. He prayed and chanted for a change in the subject and hoping that Sango's blows to the head had really killed a lot of brain cells.
"Remember the Marinara Sauce incident?" Miroku asked Inuyasha, who chuckled at the memory. Kagome and the local vegetarians had stormed into the cafeteria one lovely day and began saying how 'uncool' it was to eat animals and their blood (which Kagome accused the marinara sauce being made out of). This led to a panic of the student body. Marinara sauce was spilled everywhere, especially in the walls where it had taken months to take out and repaint, but could still be seen.
"Oh yeah. Kikyo wouldn't stop bitching about it because the marinara sauce got into her hair. God, that was so annoying." Inuyasha groaned. He got an idea and slapped his friends arm. "Why didn't you tell me how much a god damn whipped toy boy I was acting like?"
"Hey, I tried but you threatened to feed my heart to Sesshomaru! Many others attempted too, but you would just get pissed off, make some threats, break some walls, and storm away." Miroku said. He noticed the change in topic, but decided not to question it for now. "We just thought one day you would finally open your eyes, and hey, look at that, you did! I didn't know your eyes were that light."
"Shut up." Inuyasha muttered. "You have a point, though. Kikyo's out of my life and for good."
"She's Kagome's half-cousin you know. Plus, she goes to our school and she's captain of the cheerleading squad. Not to mention that she's president of the student body. We will be seeing her around." Miroku reminded the hanyou. He groaned in response and resisted the urge to either bash his head or his friend's head on the steering wheel.
"Shut up."

May 22, 1991

"Holy shit!" Kagome screamed as she slammed her hands on her desk and stood up so fast her chair toppled backwards. Her first period class went empty as everyone turned to look at her and wonder what happened this time. "Holy, mother fucking shit!"
"Kagome, may I ask why you are using such foul language?" her teacher asked. Kagome was gaping, her mouth moving up and down silently, trying to form words, but nothing would come out. Frustrated, Sango and Yuka both threw their pencils at Kagome's ass, which managed to shock her out of her stump.
"Dudes, we've got less than a two weeks left of school. When we come back, we are gonna be freaking sweet seniors!" Kagome said, ending her sentence with a cheer that had the whole room joining in. The teacher sighed and guessed that this would be a good time to start grading end of the year projects.

12:08 pm

"So, Kagome…" Kouga said as he sat down at the lunch table. Kagome looked up from her food that she was eating slowly and calmly and raised her eyebrows. She was no longer starving since Naraku had removed her from the "diet from hell" and said that no matter how many times you give it plastic surgery, a fat ugly pig would always remain that.
"What are you accusing me of this time?" She asked. "Because you know I didn't do it alright!"
"Actually yeah you did. I heard about the celebration you caused during first period." The wolf demon said. Kagome looked at him and the light bulb went off in her head. Kouga looked at her amazed. "Holy Moses, I think I actually heard the light bulb go off. And here I thought it was broken."
"Oh, shut it." Kagome laughed. She tapped the top of Kouga's head with her fork. "Besides, I've never even heard that light bulb even so much as move!"
"Har, har, har." Kouga mocked. Kagome made a face at him, but dropped it and returned to her food as Inuyasha approached the table and sat down. Her part time lover ran a clawed hand through his hair and sighed, Miroku sitting down next to him, looking unusually frustrated.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked, worried. She had never seen the guys this way before and it sort of scared it, especially Miroku's silence and his expression. Inuyasha threw her a weak smile, but dropped it, sighing again.
"The guys from the football team are giving us shit again." Inuyasha said, wincing as the word 'again' managed to slip out.
"Again?" Kagome asked. A frown adorned her face and she looked at them both, who would not look at her in the eye. "What's going on?"
"It's because the guys from the team are wondering why it was that we suddenly ditched them and have been hanging out with you guys. They thought it was a phase, but now are getting really irritated with us." Miroku explained. Kagome looked over to the jock table and sure enough, some jocks and even cheerleaders were sending glares their way.
"I don't get it. They're mad at you guys, but I'm part of the team too, yet I'm practically glued to these guys." Kouga said, motioning to the girls heading their way. Ayumi sat next to him and he quickly pecked her cheek, fearing that Kagome would start beating him with a fork.
"What happened?" Sango said as she sat between Eri and Yuka, not wanting to receive Miroku's special attention. She did notice his glum look and got worried. "Who died?"
"It's not who died, it's what died." Miroku said. Sango looked at him in confusion. "The guys at the team are concerned by our recent choices in friends and have decided to ban us from their circle of friends and the benefits that come from being in their circle of friends."
"Fuck 'em." Kagome, Kouga, and Sango declared. Inuyasha and Miroku looked at all three of them and then at each other.
"I think what they mean to say is that those jocks are being idiots." Ayumi said. "They were pretended to be your friends, but only because you guys were cool and you were on the football team. Now that you hang out with 'the outcasts' or what ever bogus name they labeled us, they don't want you around because the think you'll damp their popularity. In reality, they are jealous because now you guys have real friends and you enjoy yourselves more than you ever did with them."
The table fell silent after Ayumi explanation. Even Kagome stopped eating and looked up at her long time friend in amazement.
"That was fucking deep!" Kagome said as she stood up and started clapping. Kouga quickly followed suit, and before long, the entire table was standing and cheering at Ayumi. Most of the cafeteria felt silent and stared at them, but once they realized that it was the "Freak Unique" table (as it had been dubbed), they went back to whatever they were doing, eyeing the table every now and then. Even the jock and cheerleading tables looked over and proved Ayumi right.
"You should be some sort of therapist or something like that." Sango said as she munched on her food. She motioned towards Inuyasha and Miroku as she talked. "You fixed the boys troubles and now they no longer look as depressed. You're like a miracle worker."
"Yeah, I thought I was gonna hafta go get a mailman or a chew bone to cheer up this old dog here." Kouga said, pointing to a growling Inuyasha. They laughed and continued eating and talking and insulting each other until the bell rang and once again, classes began.

Kagome smiled as she felt her baby kick once more. She motioned to her friend to quickly place his hand on her stomach. His eyes widened and he looked at her amazed.
"This is why women should be worshipped. Such wonderful life they can give. They are the creators of life and no man should ever disrespect a woman. He, after all, came from the womb of a woman." He said to her. She laughed.
"I see that those philosophy classes are taking their toll on you." Kagome teased him. He chuckled and sat down on the bed besides her.
"Yes, they are. I…I was just so blind before and because of you, I got a second chance to restart my life and make something out of myself. I am eternally grateful and forever in your debt." He told her. She smiled and squeezed his hand.
"It's no worries. Naraku's evil had no bounds. He was an impure man who wanted everyone to suffer. His twisted mind was stopped and now everyone can live much better. Besides, your brother is taking good care of me so you don't have to worry about debts. He has made me strong enough to deliver my baby." She said softly to the man before her.
"What are you going to do with your baby?" he asked her. She let go of his hand and wrapped her arms around her swollen stomach. She sighed and looked up to him, her orange eyes welling with tears.
"I don't know. I have no clue to do. I want to leave my baby with someone I can trust, but I just worry that Inuyasha will try and take my baby away from them." She whispered. He wiped her tears away and kissed her forehead.
"Kagome, I will be more than happy to take your child into my care and run. Me and your child. Far away so that Takahashi never finds us. And maybe you can join us too." He told her. She smiled and shook her head.
"No, thank you. I just want my baby to live and then I want to rest." She told him. He sighed, knowing that this was she had her heart set on. He respected her decision and made no attempts to dissuade her.
"Alright. But at least do me one favor." He requested. She nodded. "Name your child. Give this lucky baby a graceful name to suit him or her and then I will help you rest."
"Yes, of course. Whatever you ask." She nodded. Tears ran down her face and she smiled. "Thank you. Thank you so much Bankotsu."
"It's always my pleasure." Bankotsu smiled and they held each other in a loving embrace and unwillingly to let go of each other and of the safe feeling they created. They knew not about the crushed man looking at them through the glass door, his gold eyes filled with anger, misery, and jealousy, the flowers he held left forgotten and trodden on the floor, and his silver mane swishing as he furiously left the hospital, knowing why his heart hurt so much.

So, my super cool peeps. You know the purple button, right. If ya push it, you know what happens? I don't know either. But I'll tell you what happens when you don't push it. The tape worm in your stomach that you got from all the meat you eat with be lit on fiyah! and liquefy your intestines.
