InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love for 3 ❯ Say what? ( Chapter 3 )

“My God Kagome! What were you thinking?!” Kikyo asked as she held my mother's head on her lap.

“I didn't mean for it to happen!” I said in my defense, I really never wanted to get pregnant… not right now at least.

“If I were you I would just walk up to my room and wouldn't come down in a few days… mom is going to yell at you for God knows how long.” Kikyo warned me.

I already knew that, it was enough to think about the lecture my mother would give me and now I had to listen to her giving me a lecture about the lecture my mother would give me! Wow, Kikyo was such a stuck up… never fun or supportive, being her old good self; I hated it. Even though I knew I should listen to Kikyo's advice, I sat next to her on the kitchen's floor waiting for my mother to react. Silence was consuming us and I was grateful for it, if Kikyo said another word about my pregnancy I would probably go to Sango's house and spend the night there. I yawned loudly and turned my head to look at the clock on the wall, it was almost 10 o'clock and I thought it would be better for me to head to bed… it was a school night. I got up and heard my mother let out a gasp.

“I'm going to be a grandmother?” She asked, I rolled my eyes… was it really necessary for me to repeat my faith? I simply nodded and my mother got up to hug me. “Oh Kagome,”

“Wait, you're not mad?” I asked confused.

“Well, I'm not mad for sure… a bit disappointed but not mad at all!” I sighed relieved, so much stress for nothing. “Getting angry won't fix anything and now that this has arose… I guess we just have to find solutions instead of yelling at each other that's very bad for your health, by the way.”

“Are you serious?” Don't get me wrong, I was glad she found this a reasonable situation and even happier when she didn't want to yell at me but I did find this odd.

“Who's the father?” Kikyo asked abruptly, I sighed.

“Kouga,” I heard them gasp at the same time.

“But he's gone… how could he…?”

“The night before he left… I didn't know until yesterday, I just thought something was wrong with my period.” I wasn't going to explain how it happened, that would just be… weird, for lack of a better word.

“As I said, is time to think about solutions… you are going to keep that baby Kagome,” I nodded; I wouldn't want it any other way. “And… what about school?”

“I've haven't decided about it but…”

“I'll teach you,” Kikyo offered, I stared at her shocked. “It's the least thing I could do.”

“That would be wonderful honey, tomorrow I'll go to school and tell the principal you will no longer be attending and…” Whoa, what?

“I won't be going to school anymore?” Kikyo scoffed.

“What did you expect? That you will just pop out the baby and go back? You're wrong, you got into this mess and we are going to help you… you can't keep going when you will develop a child in your loins.” I rolled my eyes; it was so typical of her to make my life a drama.

“What about college? Are you going to give that up?” I asked my sister.

“I'll teach you after classes, I'm not dumb.” I wish she was.

“But mom, I feel absolutely fine… I can keep going to school normally until it's time, I don't want to leave my friends.” My mother sighed; it was my sister's turn to roll her eyes.

“Kagome, pregnancy might look okay the first months but believe me… it will become a nightmare.” I knew everything about it already; I just kept my eyes at the floor. “Let's give it a try, how about you stay at home for one day?”

“I'll think about it, okay?” My mother nodded, I yawned. “I'm going to sleep, goodnight.”

“Sleep well sweetheart.” I embraced my mother before giving her a peck on her cheek; I then kissed Kikyo's cheek and went upstairs to sleep.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

I went to the bus stop again; I was actually surprised to find him there again… I thought he was just fooling around but I'm glad he took my advice of getting a new pair of jeans. His sloppy look was getting old, too grungy and dirty. I hadn't noticed before how long was his hair and also, how silver it was. It was an odd color for someone of our age, I have only seen that shade in my grandfather and it was because of his age. He was once again with his guitar, this time only playing with his guitar case opened and when he saw me standing there he half smiled. Inuyasha placed on the floor the case and kept on playing, I took it as a sign that he wanted me to sit there so I did it… only because I was getting tired.

“How are you feeling?” He asked as he kept on playing a familiar tune, probably whatever he was playing yesterday.

“I guess I'm okay,” It was half true but then my stomach started fluttering; I guess it was too soon to think that my morning sickness was over.

“So… are you going to take the bus to school today or are you just gonna walk away like yesterday?” I rolled my eyes.

“Well, if you keep playing your guitar I'll probably run away again.” He chuckled.

“You don't like music?” Inuyasha asked amused.

“Not when you're playing.” He laughed.

“Ouch, you're harsh…” I let a giggle out. “I see you acquired a sense of humor over the night.”

I didn't say anything else and when the bus arrived, I got up to find out that he wasn't there. Was I going crazy and I just imagined him next to me? I sighed and took a seat in the back of the bus, it was full and there were only two seats left. The bus driver kept on going when we all heard some tapping on the bus, the driver let out an annoyed grunt.

“You can't keep doing this every morning kid,” he alerted, I heard someone sigh.

“Sorry,” Inuyasha apologized and walked towards me. “Couldn't you stop the bus for me?”

“I didn't know you were coming,” It was true but even if he had asked me, I wouldn't have done it.

Again, my stomach started fluttering and I felt sicker than usual, like the time I feel when I'm about to… oh crap. I couldn't say anything as my breakfast flashed in front of my eyes, this time only chewed up and mixed with my stomach juices. I felt someone pull up my hair as everyone else starting letting out comments about how disgusting the situation was… I didn't need someone telling me about it, vomiting it was more than enough. When I finally felt okay, I had noticed that the bus stopped and everyone was gone. I sighed heavily, what a great thing was pregnancy.

“Are you feeling better?” Inuyasha asked truly concerned, I nodded as I pulled out my hoodie and cleaned my mouth with it; he grabbed his backpack and pulled out a bottle. “Have some water.”

“Thanks,” I said before filling my mouth with water and then throwing it out the window, although the way the bus was looking it would have probably been better to just throw it on the floor.

“You'll have to walk to school… I'll clean this mess.” The bus driver said with a disgusted face.

Obviously, things couldn't get worse… and neither could my embarrassment. Inuyasha helped me out of the bus and he even carried my bag, I thought that was… nice, I guess. I had to deal with the dirty looks people were throwing at me so I tried not to look at them as I walked to school. At least the sickness was away, that was the bright side of all this mess. Inuyasha didn't say anything as we made our way to our institution, what could he say at a moment like this? “I'm glad you didn't throw up on my pants”? I sighed as I looked down at my repulsing clothes, I should get changed but I was getting late for class and it was only my sweater that had that revolting smell. I went near a trash can and deposited my ruined clothing in there. Finally we got to our school and I sighed relieved at the sight of Sango, I looked back at Inuyasha who was still carrying my bag.

“I'm sorry about everything,” I said and he nodded as he walked away, I just couldn't understand that guy… how could he be so nice and then act as if nothing had happened?

“Who's that?” Sango asked as she pointed at him, I let out a sigh.

“It doesn't matter right now; I just had the most embarrassing moment in my life.” My friend laughed as we walked towards our class.

My next class was the worst; I hated it the most for the simple reason that no matter what I did I would be compared to my sister. Kikyo was the best at sports; she was a track star, a cheerleader, a gymnast and even practiced archery… I didn't hate her for being so good but because the trophies she had earned in all those sports were there to remind me that I would never be as good as her. I changed my clothes and picked up my hair in a small pony tail, as I was walking out I stared my reflection on the mirror. It was possible to notice a small bump forming on my belly, I sighed heavily because I didn't want anyone to know… although it will be out there quite soon but I wasn't ready to let them know, not yet. I quickly went over to Sango and borrowed her big sweater.

“Does it show?” she asked in a whisper and I nodded. “But what about your… oh, never mind.”

“Kagome, I heard you had a… um, incident at the school bus today; are you okay?” Hojo asked.

He was always concerned about my health, even when I broke up with him he was still a gentleman and was kind enough to care for me. I looked up at his chocolate eyes which were completely filled with apprehension; I half smiled and let out a few giggles.

“Yeah, it was very nasty… something I ate probably.” I lied, he nodded and then smiled.

“Well, I can give you something for it… I'll take it to your home later,” I shook my head, I hated his stupid remedies.

“That's not necessary, I feel fine.” I tried my best to smile and heard a loud whistling sound, our gym teacher showed up.

“Alright kids, pair up… you'll play volleyball today, if there aren't enough balls you can always try the hoops.” I sighed as walked over to the bin where the balls were placed, only one was left and someone grabbed before me; I looked up and saw Inuyasha.

“Here, I'll climb up.” he handed me the ball, I shook my head.

“You had it first.” I said, I hoped he would give it back but he simply shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

“Hey!” I called and he stopped before looking back. “You're supposed to offer it back and then I'll take it.”

“It's that some sort of a rule?” he asked unsure, I rolled my eyes.

“It's called being a gentleman,” I replied sourly as I walked away, I heard him grunt.

“Fine, take it.” He said as he threw it over, I caught it but scoffed.

“I don't want it now!” Not when he acted like such a brat, I gave it back.

“Oh, please… I'm being a `gentleman', can you please just act like a normal person and accept it?” I opened my mouth offended as I once again caught the ball; I waited for him to turn around to throw it back and landed on his head. “What the hell is wrong with you?”

“Nothing! Just take the stupid ball already!” I didn't know why but this time my stomach was turning around and around, sort of like when you get the butterfly feeling.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

The end of the day came faster than I had expected, I hadn't thrown up again and this time I asked twice the food I ate yesterday. I felt everyday my stomach getting bigger and the fluttering never stopped, it usually happened when I got angry or I thought of Kouga… which would happen many times. As I sit in my class, I always think about what he is doing… what we would be doing if he was here and probably how would he have taken the baby news. Everything was an enigma that didn't seem to find a real answer and as I started to deepen my thoughts, more questions would arise rather than answers. I decided to walk back home after the morning's incident, if I threw up again in the bus… my life would be over. I tried my best to carry the heavy books that I kept in my bag, suddenly it felt lighter and when I turned around I saw Inuyasha; whom I hadn't seen for the whole day since the little fight with the ball.

“I'm sorry about before,” he apologized, now I started feeling bad… I was a bitch before. “I should have acted a bit more… um, comprehensive.”

“Comprehensive?” Now he was just messing with my mind, he nodded.

“Well, you were having a rough day… whatever you ate yesterday, clearly isn't out of your system and you were just feeling ill.” I nodded; I had no intention of telling him what was really going on or inside me.

“I should apologize too, I wasn't very nice.” He half smiled.

“Thanks for carrying my bag, it's not necessary.” I said as I tried not to smile but his happy mood was contagious. “By the way, where's your guitar?”

“At home, I left it after you told me how much you hated my music.” I laughed.

“I don't hate it, I'm just not in the mood for music… not now.” Inuyasha nodded.

“I'll bring it out again when you feel like listening,” I felt my cheeks red hot and looked down so my hair would cover it up, I couldn't believe that not just two months ago Kouga had left and now I was blushing for a complete stranger.

We kept walking on silence, I didn't have anything else to say at the moment and I was afraid that I would blush again. Even though I didn't know Inuyasha that well, I felt like he was already my friend, our begging was bad but I guess everything can get fixed up… except death of course, everything but that. I saw my house and immediately stopped; he did the same and scratched the back of his head.

“If you were wondering, well here is where I live… thanks for carrying my bag.” I thanked him again and he nodded before roughly pass his fingers through his hair.

“It was nothing, listen… I know I may sound a bit too rushed into this but um, would you… go out with me?”

The butterflies started flying up and down my stomach. I opened my mouth but no words came out, could I really go out with him? What would Kouga say? Would he have approved this relationship or would he have asked me not to go out with him? Actually, if Kouga was here I would have immediately told Inuyasha that I had a boyfriend and he would have backed up… but that wasn't the case. I sighed heavily, not in a million years would I have imagined that he would ask me out but now that the problem was before me and waiting for my answer I had to trust my instinct.

“You know, Inuyasha? I just… well, I sort of ended a relationship with someone who I loved dearly and I don't think I'm ready for a relationship.” It sounded so stupid.

I knew it was a lie but not completely… I had only shared a night with Kouga as what I thought was boyfriend and girlfriend but Inuyasha didn't know that. I saw him smile like always and he let out a relieved sigh.

“Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then… at school of course.” I nodded and watched him walk away, my heart somehow felt heavy but at least my stomach started fluttering.

“Bye…” I whispered as I carried my bag inside my house.
