THERE!!!!!!!!!! so, PLEASE, leave this subject ALONE from now on. the story AS A WHOLE is a inu/kag. sheesh.
and this is a major announcement: THIS version will remain an inu/kag pairing, but i WILL be writing a sess/kag version along with it, since, honestly, i am really enjoying writing sessh/kag lemon and fluff.
and Selina, thank you for reading this. it took me a little bit to read yours since i was a little miffed when i first saw the title, ["but I wrote 'The Affair' dammit!"] but when I finally broke down from curiosity and read it, I loved it. Keep it up, and I will most certainly keep THIS up.
and Anon [not quite sure if that means the review was anonymous, or if that's your penname], thanks, I'm trying to set this up to where it SEEMS impossible that they will get together, and for those of you who cannot STAND Inuyasha being married to a nice Kikyo, y'all can just hold it for a while also. they WILL get past that obstacle about halfway through the story, but it will kind of hold them back throughout most of it [i heart plot twists!]. and i'm making her into a very nice person because it will be something that creates even MORE drama and guilt for Inuyasha and Kagome LATER.

The One-Night Stand.
Chapter Eight:
A couple of months went by. Kagome only had about four more months left on her school, and she had about a month's break for Christmas. Her pregnancy was moving along at a very normal rate, and it seemed to be going smoothly; Inuyasha went along with her to the sonogram, telling his brother and father that he was home sick and telling Kikyo that he was in a long line of business meetings. However, because Kagome was still seeing Sesshomaru at his apartment every night for awesome sex, the full inuyoukai already knew what his younger brother was REALLY up to, but, at Kagome's request [and a little bit of glaring and threatening], he didn't say anything.
Although it really did bother Sesshomaru to let his little brother even THINK he had the older demon snowed.
Some days Sesshomaru really was puzzled over how he had actually managed to sneak Kagome Higurashi back into his life. She was a real pistol, that woman, and he seemed, to himself, to be addicted to spending time with her, to listening to her rants about work... everything about her seemed to intrigue him and energize him and calm him, all at the same time.
She had, indeed, returned the next night at eight-oh-seven, and Sesshomaru had a feeling that she meant to be defiant by arriving seven minutes late. Of course, he showed her who the boss was as he dominated her, yet again, in the bedroom at eight-oh-nine.
Sango, somehow, knew that something was going on with her bestie; especially after they decided, around Christmastime, to have a serious girls' day. At this point, Kagome was about 22 weeks along, and she'd started showing a little over a month before.
"So the baby's a girl?" Sango asked excitedly as they sat down together at a table right outside a nice little cafe. Kagome bounced a little in her seat as she proudly produced a black-and-white sonogram photo from her large, black messenger bag. She wore a black and white maternity top with a square-cut neckline, a pair of thin-legged, dark jeans, and black flats. She had also wound her hair up in a loose, messy sidebun, and Sango could swear that she glowed.
"Have you thought of any names?" Sango asked her.
Kagome nodded. "Of course. I really like Kimiko and Mitsukai. Kimiko means 'beautiful history child' and Mitsukai means 'angel.' Which do you like?"
Sango sat in silence, thinking for a moment. "What about Ebi?"
Kagome stared at her best friend in disbelief, tilting her head and raising one eyebrow. "'Lobster'?" she asked incredulously. "You want me to name my baby 'lobster'?"
Sango just shrugged. Kagome started laughing and shaking her head. "That's why I love you, Sango."
The woman in question smiled brightly, showing off all of her 32 pearly whites. Then she calmed herself and took a loud sip of her Coca-cola. "I like them both. They're pretty, and they're traditional; so many people nowadays are going with the American names, like Nicole and Jessica." She made a face. "I think that's just weird; a Japanese person with an American name." She shook her head and rolled her eyes to emphasize her dislike.
Kagome laughed again, and, this time, Sango laughed with her.
When the girls had quieted down, Sango asked Kagome, "Is Inuyasha going to have any say in naming the baby?"
Kagome shrugged. "I'm not sure what I plan to do with Inuyasha. He may; he may not. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."
Sango eyed her friend as she was taking a sip of cola. "And what of Sesshomaru?"
Kagome coughed, spitting out the cola in her mouth. "Wha-what?"
Now it was Sango's turn to howl with laughter. "Girl, I KNOW when you're up to something, and, trust me, you're UP to something." She grinned at her friend's fastly reddening face. "Now, come on. Tell me what's going on with Sesshomaru."
Kagome sputtered a little more, but, soon, she realized that the jig was up. "Ok, ok," she said to Sango, her face still a little red from the embarrassment of what she was about to admit. It still seemed strange, even to her, that she was once again shacking up most nights with Sesshomaru, her ex-fiance and the older brother of her unborn daughter's father... Kagome shook her head, thinking, 'Why didn't I just call him my unborn daughter's uncle?'
"So, a couple months ago, Sesshomaru heard from an inside source that I was pregnant," Kagome began, taking a deep breath first. This was going to be one LONG conversation.
"Wait," Sango said, already interrupting. Kagome made a face at her, but she stopped speaking to allow her friend's question. "WHAT inside source? The only four that knew at that point were me, you, Miroku, and..." It dawned on her when she reached the last, unspoken name: Inuyasha. Her eyes seemed to light up with realization as she put two and two together. "They're related," she whispered.
Kagome nodded as she took another sip of her drink. "They're brothers," she confirmed. "Well, half brothers. Apparently, Sesshomaru is full inuyoukai, and Inuyasha's mother was a human who died about a century or two ago. They've never gotten along because of this, and really the only reason they get along now is because their father keeps them in line."
Sango's eyes became wide. "So, dude... You're, like, screwing your baby's uncle!"
"Geez, Sango!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's just so... kinky!"
"Gah!"
"I'm sorry!"
After a few moments, both women had calmed down, and Kagome began again. "Anyway, Sesshomaru showed up on my front porch, claiming that I had insulted him by becoming impregnated by his younger half brother. Which I never CHOSE to get pregnant, ok?" Kagome practically screamed that last part, and Sango, never having had to deal with a loud, overly excitable Kagome, just sat there, wide-eyed, and watched her. "Easy there," she murmured, her hands raised in defense. "Calm down, there, Fertile Mirtle. Nothing to get all pumped about; you know Sesshomaru. He was born to be a dick WITH a dick."
Her words seemed to help; Kagome nodded and sat back in her chair, taking another sip of her drink before replying, "Yea, you've got a point."
Sango leaned back and wiped her brow, letting out a sigh of relief. 'Glad I dodged THAT hormone bomb,' she thought.
"So, is Sesshomaru going to have any say in the baby's name?" Sango asked, her tone light and casual. She was trying to keep everything calm and happy; so far, she was NOT finding crazy, hormonal Kagome to be any fun.
Kagome rolled her eyes. " No way," she shot back. "Sometimes I could swear that he looks at my stomach in disgust." At this, she stretched so that she herself could look down at the small, protruding bump in her belly.
Sango slapped the back of her hand lightly, an annoyed look crossing her face. "Hey now!" she said. "Don't do that! This is a blessing! Sesshomaru's just upset that it's not HIS kid in there; he's jealous of his half-brother getting the glory of being the father of that little bundle o' joy!"
But Kagome had stopped paying attention to her friend; she was sitting straight up in her chair now, squinting at a pair of men walking toward them down the sidewalk. "Sango, is that-?"
Sango nodded, also looking. "Inuyasha and Miroku!"
The two men approached them quickly, playing it cool. Sango grinned at Kagome apologetically and stood to embrace Miroku. Kagome just sat in her seat, smiling politely, and Inuyasha stood off to the side, his hands dug deep into his jeans pockets; Kagome could read his aura very clearly, and it was an uncomfortable shade of light red. She tried to make him a little more comfortable by smiling gently at him. She was rewarded with a smile back.
"Hi, Kagome," Inuyasha said softly as he attempted small talk.
Her smile brightened, and she watched as his aura faded into a cool, calm blue. "Hi, Inuyasha."
"How are you feeling today?"
She giggled a little at his boyish awkwardness. "I'm feeling fine. Thanks for asking."
Miroku and Sango were watching the two of them, trying not to laugh at them for being so strange. Miroku was about to say something to Kagome when a young woman came dashing up to them. This woman surprised Kagome and Sango, as she looked very similar to Kagome herself. She had long, pretty, smooth, shiny, curly, ebony hair, and her eyes were a very pretty, earthy brown color. Her skin was a very light, creamy color, and her smile was big and bright.
"Well, hi there!" the woman exclaimed, smiling boldly. She clung to Inuyasha's arm fiercely, maybe a little threatened by these two pretty women. "And who might you two ladies be?"
Inuyasha laughed nervously. "Well, Kikyo-"
Kagome stood slowly, careful of her extended belly, and approached Kikyo calmly. She stuck her hand out to the newcomer. "Hi," she told her. "I'm Kagome Higurashi - a friend of your husband's. You must be Kikyo."
Kikyo's eyes brightened with realization when she recognized the name. "K-Kagome Higurashi?" she stammered. "You were going to give your baby to us!" She stepped back and surveyed the woman's protruding stomach. Kagome just smiled at Inuyasha's nervous expression. Kikyo looked back up at Kagome. "I mean, you must have decided to keep it yourself. What changed your mind?"
Kagome gave a light laugh. "I had a very stirring talk with an old friend."
Sango smiled proudly behind the three of them, snuggling a little closer to Miroku. "She's gonna be a good mom, isn't she?" she asked her boyfriend. The doctor turned his head, smiling at the way she watched her best friend, and kissed the top of her head. "Yes, Sango," he murmured in her ear. "She's going to be a great mother."
______________________________________________________________ ________________________
Kagome paced a little as she waited for Sesshomaru to come in the back door, into their kitchen. Her mother was at work, Souta was at school, and her grandfather was out and about on the property, tending to the shrine. Kagome herself didn't have any work or classes on this particular day, and she'd called Sesshomaru, asking him to come by.
'I'm going to set everything straight,' she was telling herself as the back door slid open. She turned to see the tall inuyoukai stepping inside the medium-sized kitchen, wearing another black business suit. 'He must have just gotten off work,' she thought to herself. She suddenly shivered a little, thinking about the conversation that lay ahead of her.
She took a deep breath.
"We are not back together," Sesshomaru stated right then in a very calm, even tone.
Kagome's deep breath expelled suddenly, and she just stood there, staring at him.
"We're not?" she asked after she got over her initial shock.
He shook his head, his expression still cool and collected. "No, Kagome, I am afraid not. This is a relationship forged simply from our mutual need for sexual satisfaction. You excite me in ways that many other females, whether they be of your same species or not, cannot. I do things to you that other males, because of either your intensely concentrated Miko powers or your brazenness, are afraid to do to you."
Kagome's hands came to rest on her hips in that all-too-familiar manner. "And what, pray tell, would be those things?"
All of a sudden, Kagome found herself sitting on top of the dining room table, her black, knee-length business skirt pushed up to her hips, and Sesshomaru's stiff cock already buried deep inside her. She stared at him in complete surprise, but she couldn't suppress the moan that escaped her lips as he traced his lips lightly along her collarbone, pulling his cock out until the tip of it rested at her entrance. Then he thrust inward sharply, nipping her shoulder when she cried out.
"Sh-Should you be handling a pregnant woman so roughly?" she murmured, falling against him as he began to pump his erection in and out of her.
He finally smiled down at her a little. "I am keeping track of the baby's heart rate. Everything is fine."
That was all Kagome needed to hear to let herself become enveloped by her desire.
_______________________________________________________________ _______________________
"I didn't know that you and Kagome were old college buddies," Kikyo said to Inuyasha that night at the dinner table.
The hanyou laughed nervously, spearing a piece of boiled shrimp with his fork and popping it into his mouth. "Yea, what a small world, eh?" He laughed again, hoping she wasn't quick enough to catch his nervousness.
If she was, Kikyo sure didn't say anything; she just smiled and offered him more sweet tea.

This kid, I can tell, will be the death of me. And she hadn't even been BORN yet!
Anyways. Hope you liked it. Hopefully I'll be able to update again soon. I've got the chapter all nicely written in a notebook, but I'm having to use my sister's laptop, since mine crashed and I don't have the funds to buy a new one. So it might be a while.
