Summary: As Kagome's absences from school grow longer and more frequent, her twentieth-
century friends begin to suspect that her grandfathers excuses are merely cover for a single
chronic condition. With no more diseases springing to mind, the eldest Higurashi proclaims his
granddaughter PREGNANT! With Miroku (in)conveniently around, the situation becomes more
complicated...



Kagome rolled over in defiance, as she felt the first rays of the wicked sun beat down mercilessly
on her eyes. She tried to protect her safe haven by covering them with her hand, a pillow, a
blanket, and even with her miniature stuffed white ‘sailor moon' cat, yet each and every object
had been removed from it's station and all (but her hand) had disappeared without a trace.
Kagome whimpered as she soon felt an extremely cold, gust of breeze perhaps… breeze?
"But I didn't leave my window open," she stated as she opened her eyes to see golden ones
staring her down. All of a sudden, Kagome felt like shrinking away into her bed. Somehow, in
the midst of her turbulent day she had forgotten about the irritated hanyou above her, sure she
had said that he was the father and all that but truthfully, she hadn't thought about what his
reaction might be to the big news. ‘Great Kagome now you're starting to think this baby is real I
mean he doesn't even think of you like that!'
She put on a sincere smile and decided to try to test the waters with the hanyou, remembering
that her return was only to retrieve a forgotten shard and to get some more supplies and then to
hurry right back. She gulped as she stared into those piercing eyes trying to mask her fear, and
failing miserably. "Um… well… hi InuYasha. What are you doing here, in the my time, so bright
and early in the morning?"
"You know damned well what I'm doing here!" he ripped the sheets off of her as she shrieked in
surprise. He pinned her with a death glare before speaking again. "This morning I noticed you
weren't back yet and that damned monk was missing and when I saw your bag by the well I came
to take you back so we can search for more shards."
"But… I've barely…" Kagome stuttered out as a very cheerful monk stumbled through the door.
His eyes were closed and his hands behind his head as he gave Kagome a sight to behold making
her blush at the sight of his bare chest. ‘I wonder why I didn't notice he wasn't wearing a shirt
last night.'
"How is my pregnant mistress doing this morning!" As soon as the words left his mouth Miroku
felt a suffocating ominous presence surround him. He opened his violet orbs as his blood ran
cold in fear. Miroku took a slow step backward toward the open door and his only choice for
escape seeing as the advancing InuYasha blocked the window. "Oh hello, InuYasha… it's nice to
see you…could you stay there for a moment. Kagome, I know it's early but could you please"
She looked at InuYasha about to pounce and rip out the monk's throat. She stood and glared at
Miroku but settled on helping him out, after all her precious sleep had been disturbed and
someone had to suffer for that. "Sit boy. Miroku how stupid can you, sit, be? Don't you know to
knock or at least, sit, look at the inhabitants of the room before, sit, saying something
dangerously stupid like, sit, that? And you haven't even been in my time, sit, for two whole days.
Now sit and explain the situation to InuYasha. Oh sorry for that last sit I didn't mean to say sit
…"
"Like that's very damned reassuring." He glared up at her as the floor around him began to crack.
"You know what, I need to start getting ready for school. When SHE get back…" Kagome never
got to finish her sentence, her mother came in with a light chuckle at the situation the boys had
gotten themselves in by ‘ruining' her daughters dreams. But all in all she counted it all as fine,
her daughter was always like this in the morning and she must have been having a great dream.
By the time, Kagome left for school she had yelled out 12 random ‘sits' for the hell of it and 5
that were actually instigated by InuYasha. She realized that she was being a little mean, but she
needed to vent. Taking out her anger on her grandfather well it just might kill him, but InuYasha
was durable and would be able to take it. So taking out her anger on InuYasha was perfectly
acceptable, it solved some of her frustrations and it would teach him to wake her up from such a
great dream. All day even with her friends' questions about her condition, awkward stares from
her teachers, her mind kept wandering back to her dream. Her friends passed her spacey behavior
was caused by her hormones taking over her brain, though Kagome laughed at how it was crazy
it was…oh no not just because she wasn't pregnant, also because of the mere fact that hormones
don't take over your mind. Dreams do take over your mind, only the really extreme ones though
be they extremely bad or extremely good, they could make you relive them over and over again
until they make you just wish and wish and wish. She wished her dream could come true, but it
was just a wish for that was just a dream she sighed once again looking forward at the teacher as
the bell rang allowing for her solemn escape. Once again, she remembered the vivid vision of
being stranded on a private island surrounded by the beautiful models all those beautiful male
models bringing her tropical drinks as she soaked in hot springs and oh, Miroku was feeding her
oden… Ok while she wasn't ready to admit that the prospect was thoroughly, that wouldn't stop
her from thinking about it. But heaven knows why she was dreaming about Miroku feeding her
oden that possition was normally filled by InuYasha. The dream taunted her as it stood out of her
reach so very tempting… maybe she could…no she promised InuYasha the jewel.
"Kagome is something wrong?" Eri held Kagome's arm giving it a tight squeeze as they walked
out to the school's courtyard. "Maybe you should come with us and hang out at the mall a bit.
Enjoy yourself in what's left of your youth. There is this cool new restaurant where they have
these great deserts and they also have ode!"
Kagome knew they were baiting her and was about to refuse when she notice two men standing
by the gate out of the corner of her eye. Seeing as they looked oddly enough like, like a more
modern version of InuYasha and Miroku, but no it really couldn't be. After all InuYasha had
been to this era tons of times and had never worn modern clothing once, and the man though
having silver hair tied back to reveal a subduing necklace around his neck couldn't be him. He
was clearly dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt with a jeans jacket over it and InuYasha would
never subject himself to such restrictive clothing. Not to mention he was wearing his baseball cap
backwards though that could be counted to the girl hanging off of him. And she just couldn't see
Miroku as the type to wear a pink button up shirt with black leather pants and purple tie… well
the tie maybe but a pink shirt! Though she had to admit he looked good with his hasher down, it
looked so soft and silky as the girls ran their hand's through it…She sighed as she realized this
was as close as she was ever going to get to her dream anytime time soon.
"Come on Kagome We can even check out some maternity stores!" Yuka smiled down at her,
she had attached herself to her friends arm as she and Eri dragged her along to the gate. "Besides
we already told Houjo that we'd meet him at Sugar Honey as soon as we got out."
Ayumi followed along behind the trio while she carried her friend's bags. "We thought that it
would give you a chance to break the news o him yourself, after all it would be too impersonal
for us to tell him."
"Break what news to who?" Miroku managed to make his way out of the crowd and snake his
arm around Ayumi causing them all to halt their mission if only but a moment.
"Good you're here you can help break the news to poor Houjo!" Yuka grabbed his hand and was
about to pull them away when InuYasha put a hand on her shoulder stopping her dead in her
tracks. "Um, who are you and how would you like to be castrated"
InuYasha took a few steps back as he stared at Yuka with wide eyes. "Kagome, we came to take
you home."
"And who are you?" piped up Ayumi her eyes narrowed at the hanyou.
"Not that it matters but I'm Inu," he began, returning her glare with his own.
"Taisho!!" Kagome interrupted motioning to InuYasha with a nervous smile. She knew that her
friends would wonder why her ex-boyfriend would come to take her home after just abandoning
she and her child and she really didn't want to go into that right now so she just came up with the
first name that came to mind. But where did she here that name before? "Yeah this is Inu Taisho,
he and Miroku are close friends."
InuYasha just gave me a half hearted ‘feh' before staring off into the direction of a group of wide
eyed giggling girls who were going on and on about the silver haired hottie. He didn't even
bother try to protest, Kagome looked at him strangely trying to figure out what could be wrong
with him by now she had expected him to just grab her and drag her back to the shard hunt. She
was about to say something to get them a subtle escape when Eri narrowed her eyes and
suspiciously inquired, "What kind of name is Inu Taisho?"
When all he did was shrug, she knew something was wrong. She couldn't figure out what it could
be. Had she broken InuYasha? She would never be able to forgive herself if she had. But while
she and her friends were distracted, Miroku managed to grab Kagome's arm and lead her off
startling her out of her thoughts. She stared up at the young man a question buzzing around in her
mind, but how could she go about asking it, it wasn't a hard question but…
"Kagome is something on your mind that you'd like to share with me," Kagome blushed when he
turned to look into her eyes only then realizing she had been staring. She felt compelled to do
something as she noticed the small smile play over his lips, as they stood alone in this alleyway
they somehow found themselves in.
"Well can I ask you a question Miroku, that is if you don't mind." She couldn't help but look
down at her feet, after all her brown loafers were just so intresting. She could have beaten herself
up especially after his reply of ‘yes you can bear my children.' She was, or had at least been
before, a decent respectable young girl with a good reputation and grades to die for. She should
be acting like this… This was how Eri acted when she was with a guy, never good little Kagome.
And why was she like this even more of all with Miroku? "No you hentai…I want to know how
you got him into modern clothing."
"Well it was your mother," he gave an airy chuckle as he rubbed the back of his head and leaned
against the alley wall. "She threatened him with never getting him ramen again and also
reminded him of your mood this morning promising him it would be worse if he did not try to fit
in when coming to school to see you. I on the other hand didn't need any convincing. After all it
is for you Kagome, and this is a minor sacrifice on the road to having you bear…"
"There you two are come on now, Houjo is waiting for us!" Yuka grabbed Kagome's arm while
Eri took a hold of Miroku's and with InuYasha and Ayumi trailing a little ways behind them they
soon found themselves traveling on their way to the mall with no certain means of escape that
wouldn't arouse suspicions among her friends and with that Kagome could help but think right
back to her dream.

Ditto. Since Sabrina wasn't alerted properly (my fault), I gave her some extra time to finish up
her chapter. I'm so sorry that this had to be late.

Up next...tru_tiger.
