How to save a life

(Act 1 scene 1)

Kagome sat on the steps of her house waiting for InuYasha and Sesshomaru to pick her up. She was accustomed to the silver haired boys taking her everywhere like she was their little sister. They often took her to places that only demons were allowed to go, but someway, Kagome was always an exception. Always.

The teenager was listening to the radio. She usually listened to R&B, because all of her friends did so, and InuYasha introduced her to rap, which she loves, but today, she was listening to soft rock. A song she had heard when she was little came on.

She only sung the few lyrics she knew- which weren't much.

"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend. Blah, blah, blah, blah, something bitterness, and why can't I stay up with you all night? Did I know how to Save- INYASHA!!!" She cried, running up to her best friend. "Hey. What're you listenin' to?" He said, smiling awkwardly. "Um…" The young girl responded, looking nervous. "Music?" "Keh." There was that annoying response that she hated again. 'Keh.' 'Why does he always say that?' she thought mentally. Then, Kagome noticed that Sesshomaru wasn't with his brother.

"Where's…Sesshomaru?" The brunette asked her friend while looking around. "He's visiting his mom- she moved out, remember?" Replied InuYasha. "Why?" "I don't know, something about dad not satisfying her or whatever- hey! Let's go to the park." Kagome sighed, exasperated at InuYasha's short tension span. "Sure. I'd love to." She smiled.

"Naraku, would you get that for me?" Kikyou cried hollering toward the kitchen. She was spending the night at Naraku's house since she knew her sister wouldn't be there to keep her company tonight. She had plans with The chosen brothers- InuYasha and Sesshomaru- which probably would turn into something her mom would kill her over, but that would never happen to Kikyou. She was a responsible adult-with a kid on the way but…

"Sure thing." He responded passing a gray-blue vase to Kikyou, who was putting it back on the shelf she had just finished dusting. She loved cleaning his house, even when it looked spotless. There was a time before when she said that something about his house made her want to clean.

Naraku was a rich, hot orphan. His mother died giving birth to him and his father died later on while he was in highschool. Because Naraku didn't like people trying to replace his parents, he often didn't socialize with older citizens of Tokyo. Kikyou was his highschool sweetheart and knew that he would never object to her being with him, so she often went to his house to have fun and get away from her chaotic life at home. Kagome did the same thing. Both sisters liked eachother's company, but their taste in men is what was tearing them apart.

(flashback)

"InuYasha's so fun and energetic. Sesshomaru's like a hot cloud that rains on his younger brothers' parade when he gets out of hand. It's so CUTE!!!" Kagome explained to Kikyou the day of her 18th birthday. It was the first time since training that the two sisters saw eachother. "Really? You like guys like that? They're so…so…predictable. I like Naraku better; he's sweet, serious, mysterious, and- "BORING!!! Naraku is SO not fun. He's always jumping to conclusions and taking everything too seriously-not to mention MY LIFE!!!"

Kikyou sighed. She and her sister had had their feet dangling in the water for a few minutes. "Imoto…" (1)

"I'm sick and tired of him always butting in my decisions! It's my birthday and he decided that he had to invite all of his stupid friends to lighten things up. What's up with that?!" "Maybe he was just trying to help Kagome. He really likes you- "No. He really likes you. Have fun at serious-Castle-Ville with the stinky candle sticks and clean floors that smell like grapefruit!!!" Kagome stuck her feet into her shoes-wetting them in the process-and stomped away.

'Sigh. How'm I gonna explain this to mom?' Kikyou thought, standing up.

(end flashback)

"You know, Kagome and I can be so childish." Kikyou giggled. Unbeknownst to her, Naraku stiffened, but quickly straightened up. "Oh, really…" He began. "Yeah! It's so stupid, I don't even want to talk about it." "It's ok." He said reassuringly. "You can tell me anything." He began walking towards the older sister…

(scene4)

InuYasha and Kagome walked slowly. They were holding hands, and talking as usual. "InuYasha, has Sesshomaru's mother gotten any better? I heard she was sick and crabby." "Sick? No. Crabby? Always." She giggled and InuYasha smiled, loving when Kagome laughs at his jokes. She then bit his ear and began to run to the park. InuYasha ran after her.

They always played like this; Sesshomaru had always been like a responsible driver. If they wanted to get drunk, they could because Sesshomaru would get them home safely. The only problem with that that was…

There's no Sesshomaru.

(scene5)

Sesshomaru walked down a long, silver hall. He opened the third door on his right and said softly the first word he had ever learned; "mom…" The older demon opened one eye and stared at her son. "Sesshomaru…sit with me." She struggled to get up from her bed, but soon was sitting comfortably in one of the two chairs in the room. "Sesshomaru, it's been such a long time since we've talked to eachother." "It certainly has, mother." "I know that you were upset with me for leaving your father but…that, that girl!" The woman said, referring to InuYasha's mother. "She has a name mother." Sesshomaru said. "What was it? Itoni? Ichigo?" Sesshomaru sighed. "No mother. Her name is Izyaoi." The dog demon answered. "Well, like I care." His mother puffed. More sighs. "You two used to be good friends. What happened?" Sesshomaru wondered.

It took a long time before his mother responded. It seemed as if she were pondering the question-even though " When Izyaoi asked for another child, your father got more rowdy with her in the bed than me. You know how I like it when he- "Yes mother. I know and understand completely." He said. "Well, if that's the case, why don't you ask him to spend time with you? Request another baby." "I tried that." She said sadly. "I tried seducing him and everything but Izayoi has him wrapped around her finger! He doesn't love me anymore!!!" "He does too." Sesshomaru said, trying to reassure his mother.

"Well then, why doesn't he love me the way he loves her?" "Maybe he doesn't believe that you want another child. Father always was good at figuring out situations such as this one." "And if you know that, why would you suggest it?" "Have you suggested to him to just make love to you because you want it?" "It's not my fault Izayoi is a bi- "Don't call her out of her name mother. She hasn't done wrong, she has just inconvenienced you. You can handle it." "If I could handle it, I'd be at home right now. Sesshomaru, things have changed, I've changed, your father's changed. No one stays the same forever."

Sesshomaru looked at his mother with a tinge of guilt. "Well, maybe we should try." He walked out of the room, turned the corner, and left.

(scene6)

"It's kind of strange without Sesshomaru here." Kagome said. She was on top of InuYasha, hugging him and pecking him every few seconds. "Yeah. It's not like we've never went all the way or anything, but we had always been used to him being here. He was always there watching us, so it never felt wrong to me. But now…" "Yeah, I know." The girl giggled. She and InuYasha were always like professionals when it came to actually having intercourse. Talking about it made them act…a little childish.

"so…what do we do now?" She asked. They were both separated now. They looked at eachother, but now, they both looked and felt confused. "I don't know." The haynou replied. "Well, I know that your mom still doesn't know…about us I mean, but does Kikyou know?" InuYasha suddenly asked, a glint in his eye. "No." Kagome responded flatly. InuYasha grinned. He anticipated the answer. "Good. Then all we have to do is make sure you don't get pregnant." "Don't worry…" Kagome began, crawling over to him.

"I won't."

The two teens giggled, stood up, and left the park.

(scene7)

"It's been awhile since we've done this." Naraku whispered to his fiancé'. "Yes, yes it has." She smiled. "so, where do we begin?" He asked. "Hmmm…let's turn on some music. Get in the mood. Have some fun." Kikyou said, although the last part had more 'oomph' to it than the first. "Haha. Kikyou, Kikyou! You make me laugh!" Naraku said, pulling his girlfriend down.

"Um, Naraku? What are you doing?" Kikyou asked, her voice suddenly shaking. "You know, what we always do." He said, still smiling. "But I can't, without loosing the child-Naraku-Naraku are you listening?"

He was already down her shirt, kissing her. She began pushing him away. "Three more months. You can't wait for three more months?!" She yelled suddenly. "But Kikyou. Don't you think I've waited long enough? You don't want me to be like some men and…

"You…you wouldn't!" Kikyou said in denial. "That's why I need this now." He whispered in her ear. "Naraku…I want this baby…I…"

(scene8)

"So, where do we begi-

'Ring Ring'

InuYasha's cell went off. "who's that?" Kagome asked, leaning over him. "It's Sesshomaru." "Speak of the devil…." "Always watching us." InuYasha said, putting the phone up to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Where are you?"

"Outside."

"You comin' in?"

"You started without me didn't you?"

"Well…yeah."

"I'll be right up."

"Oh, alright."

"And InuYasha?"

"Yeah?"

"You got a message from Kikyou."

InuYasha stiffened. Kagome noticed. "What is it? What did he say?"

"I'll…talk to you when you get up here. I don't feel like doing anything anymore."

"See you."

"Yeah, whatever."

they hang up. InuYasha looked at Kagome. She looked puzzled. "You don't want to anymore?" She asked, making a seductive yet girly tone with her voice. "No, I do, but after Sesshomaru said…how's the weather?"

"HUH!?!" Kagome asked. She looked at InuYasha in confusion. "What's going on?" "A lot of things are happening Kagome. A lot of things."

A/U

This is a mystery story. I love how it has a 'Sex in the City' atmosphere because my mom loves that show. I also love how all of the characters fit. I'm usually not good with mystery but this looks promising. Read and Review.

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha

Claimer: This is not in true script form. I have been in a real play that has been out of state and my format isn't in script form so you can't report me.
