InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Loving You ❯ prologue ( Prologue )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

AN: Just a little info before you start reading. I've added some stuff from one of my favorite shows, Charmed. I use some of the powers in the show and put them in my story, I'll explain:
Inuyasha is still a half demon, but he also has a demon power from Charmed, it's called shimmering, it's like teleporting.
Kagome is a witch in my story, a good witch. She has a lot of powers. She has telekinesis, the power to move things with her mind through her hands, the power to freeze things and blow things up with her hands. She can levitate, a power that came in handy in sparring matches with Inuyasha. Astral-projection, the power to be in two places at once, but her real body appears to be sleeping when she does this, even when standing up, and casting spells.
Sesshomaru can shimmer also.
Sorry that the first authors note is so long, I just didn't want anyone to be confused. Now on with the story!

*Loving You*

Prologue

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The examining room door swung open, and Kagome froze, hands behind her neck. Her long, black hair swung down across her shoulders, free from the ponytail that held it minutes ago.

She knew before the nurse said a word what the verdict would be.

"Sure enough, honey, you're pregnant!"

The ponytail holder Kagome was playing with fell to the floor. The nurse crossed the room and held out a round plastic disc for Kagome's inspection.

"See that little plus sign? If you're pregnant, you get a plus, if not, you get a little line. Yours came up plus right away. How far do you figure you are?"

Kagome's hands twisted together in her lap, and she shifted her weight on the crackling white paper. "Well, uh, it couldn't be...long, you know. I mean-" Kagome stopped, aware that she was making no sense. She was embarrased to feel sweat break out across her forehead. She had meant to be so adult about this, not some freaked out teenager.

"Okay. Do you have any idea when you got pregnant? The week, the month even?"

"Kagome nodded. "October twelfth."

October twelfth. The best and worst day of her life. She could remember the day as if was yesterday. She went over to her longtime boyfriends house for her birthday. She had just turned sixteen a couple days earlier. He said he had a surprise for her.

Kagome walked up to the front door and was about to knock when it swung open.

"How did you know I was here?" She asked, walking into the house.

"I heard you pull up," Inuyasha said. He pulled her close and kissed her gently on the lips. "Happy Birthday, Kags."

Kagome smiled up at him. "Thanks. Now where is that surprise you told me about?"

"In the ballroom," he said. He put his arm around her shoulders. "But you have to close your eyes."

She looked at him for a second, then did what he said. "Fine. But if I fall and hurt myself, I'll hurt you."
"Like I would let you fall."

They got quiet as Inuyasha opened the door. He nodded his head at someone in the room and told Kagome to open her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, a string quartet started playing.

Kagome gasped. "Inuyasha..." She said breathlessly. She looked to the middle of the room and saw a table covered in a beautiful white table cloth, with fancy table settings.

Inuyasha hugged her from behind, placing his head on top of hers. "Do you like it?"

"I love it, it's so beautiful." She turned around, put her arms around his neck and kissed him softly. "Thank you."

"Hey, you only turn sixteen once." He lead her to the table and they sat down. "Are you hungry?"

"Starved."

The dinner was amazing. The food was excellent and the dessert was unbelievable.

"What do you want to do now?" Inuyasha asked after Kagome ate her last bite.

"You mean you don't have anything else planned?" Kagome asked with a smile.

"Well, I figured you could choose something to do."

"Oh. The only thing I want to do right now is to lay down. I feel so stuffed after eating all that good food."

Inuyasha got up and took her hand. "Come on."

They went upstairs to his room and laid down on the bed like they always do. Except this time, it was a little different. It had started out warm and close and sweet. Then things started happening, things that excited and frightened her.

"Kagome, we don't have to this if you don't want to," he said.

Kagome looked into the eyes of the guy she'd known all her life and smiled. "It's okay, I want to."

"So that means you're about ten weeks, right?"

Kagome looked at the nurse, startled, and nodded at what she had said.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," Kagome said. "Just a little overwhelmed.""That's to be expected, dear." The nurse patted her shoulder. "How would you like to get an ultrasound? That should make you feel better."

Kagome nodded.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

< /font> As Kagome was driving home, she couldn't get image of what her baby looked like on the screen out of her head. She still couldn't believe that she was pregnant. Why did this happen to me? Nobody gets pregnant the first time. Mom and Akira are gonna flip! What am I going to do? She started crying for the first time since first thought that she might be pregnant. Feeling like she was closed in, she drove her car to a nearby park she used to go to when she was little. She got out and wandered over to the swings and just let all her frustrations and fears out.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

< /font> Once Kagome got home, she hung up her coat in the front closet, went straight upstairs to her small room and laid down on her bed. She was in her room for only a minute when her half sister came in.

"Where have you been all day? Inuyasha was worried about you."

"Rin, don't you ever knock?" Kagome asked as she sat up.

"Don't avoid the question," Rin said. She sat down on the bed and gave her younger sister a look.

Kagome hesitated. She couldn't tell her the truth, she had to come up with a lie-fast. "Um, I, uh... went to go get Yash a Christmas present. That's why I didn't tell him where I went." While she said that, she avoivded her sister's eyes.

"Aren't you cutting it a little close? Christmas is two days away.""I know. I just didn't know what to get him, that's why it took me so long to get it," Kagome said.

"Oh. Well, Mom sent me up here to tell you that dinner is ready." Rin paused, giving her sister a smile. "But, we can talk for a few minutes. What did you get him?"
Kagome didn't have to think of anything because her other sister stuck her head in. "What are you guys doing? Dinner is done, you have to come down."

"Rin, you go ahead with Sango, I'm not that hungry."

"Are you sure?" Rin asked. Kagome nodded.

After Rin left, Kagome laid back and thought of her family and how complicated it was. She lived with her mom and step dad. Her dad had lived in New York before he died a couple years ago. Her mom, Hitomi, knew Kagome's dad, Christopher Marcello, in high school when he moved to Japan when his dad got a job transfer. They dated for three years before her dad's family had to move back to New York. Her mom was heartbroken, but eventually she got over him and married someone right after high school and had Sango, then a year later, had Rin. Then one day Kagome's dad came back to Japan to visit his old friends when Akira, Sango and Rin's dad, was away on business. He ran into Hitomi, and the result was Kagome. Hitomi told Akira that she was pregnant with Christopher's baby. They worked it out with Christopher and decided that Kagome would live with her mom and visit her dad. Even though Akira let Kagome live there, he still treated her differently than his own daughters. He paid for her dance and singing lessons, which he always said was a waste of money, but did it because of Hitomi. He never really paid any attention to her, not that it mattered to Kagome, she didn't like him very much anyway. He also didn't like the fact that she was part witch, from her dad's mom. She never really got along with Sango, either. Kagome figured that Akira brainwashed Sango into not liking Kagome, but she never brought it up. But Rin loved Kagome and treated her like a whole sister.

Kagome fell asleep after a while. All night she kept waking up, because of bad dreams. Finally, around six o'clock she fell into a dreamless sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Kagome woke up, she ran to the bathroom. After a round of morning sickness, she opened the door without looking up and ran into her step dad. Kagome gulped. Did he hear? No, it doesn't matter. He heard me once, I can just say I'm sick.

"We need to talk," Akira said in a very stern voice.

Kagome paled. She felt a little lightheaded, but followed him downstairs. Kagome sat down on the couch in the sitting room. Sango and Rin entered the room with a confused look on their faces.

"Hitomi, get in here, please."

The girls' mom walked in and saw Kagome sitting on the couch looking scared. "What's going on?"

"Your daughter had something to tell you," he said looking straight at Kagome.

Kagome looked at her mom, wanting to tell her the truth, but she heard herself say she was sick.

"Kagome!" Akira yelled.

"What?! You heard me throw up, big deal," Kagome said.

"Just what are you accusing her of?" Hitomi asked.

"She's been throwing up the past damn month and you haven't noticed." Akira held something out for Hitomi to see. "And I found this on the floor in the closet."

Hitomi looked at what he held. It was an ultrasound picture. Kagome looked about ready to faint. How dare he go in my stuff! I can't believe he said he found it on the floor, when it was in my...coat pocket. Shit! It must've fell out.

Hitomi took the picture and looked at her youngest daughter with tears in her eyes. "Kagome, is this yours?"

"Of course it's hers," Akira told her. "It has her damn name on it."

Hitomi glared at Akira before turning back to Kagome. "Kagome?"

Kagome didn't have enough energy to think of another lie, so she just nodded her head.

Hitomi gasped, putting a hand to her mouth as tears started to roll down her cheeks. Akira smirked, Sango stared at Kagome, not completely shocked that this happened, and Rin looked at Kagome with sadness written on her face.

"Kagome, how could you do this?" Hitomi asked.

Kagome stood up and walked over to her mom. "I didn't mean to, Mom. It just happened."

Akira scoffed. Kagome whirled around.

"It did, I swear."

"Kagome, how far along are you?" Rin asked.

Kagome grimaced. "Ten weeks."

"How can you be sure?"

"I went to the doctors yesterday and I only had, uh, sex once." And that was the truth. After she had sex with Inuyasha she was scared that this might happen, or that her parents would find out, so they decided to wait till they were a little older. At least until Kagome turned seventeen, so that if her parents ever did find out, they couldn't throw him in jail for statutory rape, because he just turned eighteen.

"You expect us to believe that?" Akira asked.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kagome asked, glaring at her step dad.

"Exactly what it indicates." Kagome looked at Sango, who hasn't said anything until now. "You're with Inuyasha all the time and you expect up to believe you?"

"Sango, don't talk to your sister like that," Hitomi said.

"Half sister," Sango muttered.

"No, Mom, it's okay," Kagome said with a smirk. She turned to Sango. "You're with Miroku just as much as I am with Yash. So is Rin with Sesshomaru. You can't expect me to believe you haven't had sex yet."

"Maybe I have. At least I would think to use protection!"

"Girls! That's enough!" Their mom yelled. "Sango, Rin, please go to your rooms while your father and I talk to your sister."

Rin gave Kagome a hug and whispered in her ear. "Everything'll be okay." Kagome hugged her back. Rin kissed her cheek and followed Sango upstairs.

Hitomi and Kagome sat down next to each other on the couch and Akira sat in the chair across from them.

"You wanted to talk, so talk," Kagome said after a minute of uncomfortable silence.

Hitomi turned to her daughter. "Have you thought about what your going to do?"

"What the hell is there to think about?" Akira asked. "You will get an abortion before anyone finds out."

"What?! No! I will not kill this baby." Kagome stood up. "I can't."

"You can and you will," he told her.

"No!" Kagome ran from the room in tears. She went to her room and laid down on her bed. "I won't kill this baby," she muttered. "I will not let that happen."

That night Kagome knew what she had to do. She had to leave and never come back. Kagome left on New Years Eve. She bought a one way ticket to New York, where her aunt and uncle lived. She told Rin where she was going and told her to tell her parents after she left. Her parents couldn't believe she left, and were too embarrassed to tell people the truth. So they told everyone who asked that she went to a school that specializes in the performing arts on the stage. They didn't want their family to be talked about by their friends.

Kagome left a note with Rin to give to Inuyasha. In the note she wrote that she was going to America and she would be staying there after school to focus on her career. She wrote that she was sorry that she left, and asked him to forget about her and move on. It hurt her to lie to him, but she felt it had to be done. If she stayed she would have kept Inuyasha from going to college. She knew that he would have got a job to support her and the baby and she couldn't let him do that.
