A.N. I should clear up the last chapter a bit. After Kagome met with Kouga, she was kind of depressed and scared and didn’t want InuYasha to witness it, so she locked herself up in their room. InuYasha was worried and called Sango to help, and she brought ‘supplies’ and talked to Kagome. After they talked Kagome felt better, because everyone feels better to get a big deal like that off their chest. When InuYasha thought Kagome was drunk, she really wasn’t; she was just acting like it because of all the sugar in her system. Another thing was when she passed out; it’s the old saying, what goes up must come down put into perspective: Kagome was so hyper off a sugar high that she just collapsed all of a sudden. Yes that does happen, I’ve seen it and tested it myself.
"Yash," Kagome whined the morning after her visit with Kouga, "why does my head hurt? I feel hung over."
"You practically are," he said with a laugh as Kagome rolled onto her stomach, "I saw the ice cream carton you and Sango devoured, and I’m surprised your not in a coma right now."
Kagome looked at him, perplexed, "I don’t know what your talking about." He indicated to the chocolate ice cream carton, chocolate syrup, chocolate sprinkles and whipped cream, along with the strawberry carton.
"You ate enough chocolate to kill a dog," he said, staring down at her, "I think I might want to have you tested for diabetes now."
Kagome smiled, "I’m not going to turn into a diabetic. Sango just does this whenever I get depressed. We gorge out on a ton of chocolate and then get… stupid. Don’t be surprised if she turns out pregnant now."
InuYasha wrinkled his nose, "I don’t want to know what she does when on a sugar high, although you passed out pretty quickly. I thought you were dead until I saw your breathing was regular."
Kagome smiled, and got up, then realized something, "you couldn’t put me in pajamas?"
InuYasha shook his head, "nope. You wouldn’t sit still long enough."
"Thanks a lot," she said, moving to grab her robe that was hanging off the bed post, but InuYasha seized her around the waist and pulled her close to him, her back against his chest.
"InuYasha," she groaned as he kissed her neck, "we… -- saved by the intruders."
Kagome giggled as InuYasha flopped down on the bed, and she quickly pulled on her robe and went to the bedroom door.
"Hey Rin," Kagome said with a smirk.
"Was I interrupting something?" she asked, looking timidly into the room.
"Yes," InuYasha called, while Kagome said no.
"Well you two get dressed and come downstairs," she said with a smirk, "Miyouga claims to have some big news."
In the Family Room
"What’s up Miyouga?" InuYasha asked when him and Kagome went downstairs.
"I have some… information on a man," the small man replied, looking at Kagome, "it would seem he’s a reporter writing a story about Kagome’s break up with that football player and her recent engagement to InuYasha."
"What do you mean?" InuYasha asked angrily, grabbing a paper Miyouga was holding up.
"This man," he said, "left no name but he called me today. He said he knows of your engagement to Kagome, and knows the truth about everything."
Kagome was shocked,
"He said that he’ll keep it a secret," Miyouga said, "for now. But you two’d better be on your best behavior. Especially with the big show coming up next week."
"What show?" InuYasha asked, looking at Kagome and Sesshoumaru who both looked guilty of not telling him something.
"We didn’t tell you because you’d freak out," Kagome said, "but Sesshoumaru and I are hosting a show next Saturday at the new hotel that was just built. ‘The Hilton’ I think it’s called. A American chain hotel that is huge. To build up the guest rates there, and promote the magazine, and my own work, there will be a runway show there."
"Why would I freak out?" he asked angrily, "I’m the co-owner of this damned magazine. I’m YOUR EDITOR! You think I wouldn’t notice something like this?"
"That’s not it," Kagome said, turning in her seat to face him, "it is small. Only who needs to know will know."
"And I don’t need to know?" he asked, anger rising.
"Yash," Kagome tried, taking his hand, which he snatched away. "Listen, this is not a big deal. I am trying to secure a extra line to put into my portfolio. Fashion photographers do everything, not just magazine work. This could get me somewhere huge. You weren’t told because there wasn’t much for you to do with it."
"You could have told me though," he said. He was acting like a child, and it was making Kagome angry.
"GROW UP," she roared, grabbing his chin and forcing him to look at her, "IT’S JUST A FASHION SHOW! WHO CARES IF YOU DON’T DO SOMETHING. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE UP AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FIND MODELS."
InuYasha stared at her. This was the Kagome he remembered from high school. He wouldn’t tell her this, but when they were younger he always had a slight crush on Kagome because of her temper. The way she commanded a ton of people with just her yelling.
"You are so hot when your mad," he said, wrapping a arm around her and jerking her into his lap.
"You’re a idiot," she giggled, kissing him lightly on the cheek, "but I have work to do. I need to buy some stuff for my baby."
"YOUR WHAT!" Rin and Sesshoumaru gasped.
"The camera," InuYasha sighed, as Kagome got up. "She loves it more than she does me."
"Of course I do," she said with a smirk, "that’s why your coming with me."
InuYasha grumbled something as Kagome dragged him to her car, "Kagome you should let me get you a new car."
"What’s wrong with my car?" she asked, looking down at her 1986 Volkswagen Rabbit, which she had custom painted blue with grey ghost flames across the body.
"It’s ancient," he replied, getting into the passengers seat, "and ugly."
"DON’T CALL IT UGLY!" she shrieked, instantly she started patting the dash board, "don’t listen to him Joe. He didn’t mean it, your not ugly."
"You named your car Joe?" he asked incredulously.
"What’s wrong with Joe?" she asked innocently, "it reminds me of this kid I met when I was doing a internship in the states. His name was Joe and he was a idiot. The car is weird, so I named him Joe."
"You know vehicles are normally named after women," he replied, staring at the woman beside him.
"I know," she said with a smile, backing up and leaving, "but Joe suit’s the car. So that will be its name."
"You still need a new car," he grumbled as ‘Joe’ backfired and stalled, causing Kagome to restart the engine and take off.
"Miso have you figured out how two children were able to get married?" the boss asked.
"I’ve worked something out," Miso replied with a wicked grin. "Apparently, because the marriage laws didn’t come into effect until the last 15 years, Kagome and InuYasha’s parents were able to marry them as children knowing a arranged wedding wouldn’t work in the future. With paperwork from both parents signed, the young couple were married, but it also says that when they both learn of the truth, if so wanted, they’d stay together one year. In that time frame they can get to know each other, and if they still do not agree, they can divorce."
The boss nodded, "I see. But it makes no sense. Why would the Higurashi and Taisho families want their children to marry? InuYasha is not the oldest child in his family, and Kagome is."
"Ah," Miso said with another smirk, "but it was signed by InuYasha’s mother. He never knew of his father and who he really was until he was already in middle school. Raised by his mother and step father, InuYasha was indeed the oldest child. Although he carried his birth fathers name, he was the oldest of the Tanaka family."
The boss grinned, "How can we make this work?"
"I’m still working on that," Miso said with a shrug, "but it would seem that the parents InuYasha had, are dead. His birth mother and stepfather were killed in a car crash 5 years ago by a driver on a cell phone. That driver died in the hospital after being projectile out of his vehicle. That driver was InuYasha’s birth father."
"Ironic," the boss said, "so we’ll have to find another way to get the reason out of why they are married."
Miso nodded, he was already working on the story, and he was trying to find out why the young couple is in this situation. As he left his bosses office to go to his own, Miso was almost frustrated with how this would work.
"I go from getting the scoop on Kagome breaking up with a famous kid," he said to himself, "to figuring out why she’s married."
"I have some information for you," said a woman’s voice when he entered his office.
"Who are you?" Miso asked.
"Someone who can tell you why Kagome and InuYasha were married," the woman said with a grin, "along with tell you why
Kagome and Kouga are no more. It kind of goes hand in hand."
"Please," he said with a smirk, "do tell."
Kagome and InuYasha
"Kagome what are we doing here?" InuYasha asked after they left the camera store and were now in front of a store that had light pink and blue writing on the front. He couldn’t read what the writing said, so he just followed her in.
"I have news of my own," Kagome said with a grin.
"What’s up?" he asked, following her past the store and towards another one. It turned out to be a restaurant. As they were seated, Kagome wasn’t sure whether to tell him strait out, or wait until after they’ve eaten. Instead she just took his hand, and played with his fingers.
"What can I get you?" the waiter asked them, looking down at Kagome intently.
"Just a water for me thanks," she said, smiling up at the man.
"I’ll have a T-Bone steak," InuYasha said staring at the menu cover, seeing some stuff on it, "medium well, and ramen on the side."
The boy looked at him strange, "okay. Would you like anything to drink?"
"Coke," InuYasha said, looking at Kagome, who was busy still playing with his hand. "Kagome what’s wrong?"
"Nothing," she said, "it’s actually good."
"Spit it out," he said, trying to figure the girl out.
"I’m pregnant."
