Mal De Amores

Chapter one: Voicemail

InuYasha looked lovingly at his girlfriend, Kagome. His eyes dazed over her tan skin, from her light brown eyes, to her gentle fingertips. It was as if he was seeing her for the first time. Of course they'd been dating for a couple weeks but the half demon had never experienced this type of attraction towards Kagome. He'd always thought she was cute and damn near perfect, but there was something about tonight that made her everything he needed in his world

Kagome flipped her hair to one side and smiled, "InuYasha, are you okay?"

"Huh?" The half demon asked. He blushed a deep crimson. Kagome must've caught him staring.

"I asked if you were okay…" She repeated "You keep staring at me."

"Yeah I'm fine." InuYasha said as he squeezed her hand "I'm just happy to be with you right now."

Kagome smiled again and looked up at the ceiling. They'd been at InuYasha's house for nearly 2 hours. Talking and spending time with each other. InuYasha's brother's were gone for the day and his mother trusted the two to be alone together while she went out shopping, so they had the entire house to themselves.

Suddenly InuYasha's cell phone began to ring. The sound of Girlfriend filled the room. Kagome grabbed his phone since it was lying right beside her. She glanced at the caller ID and her mouth dropped.

"Who is it?" InuYasha asked. His girlfriend looked like she was getting angry.

"Kikyo!" Kagome breathed "Why is Kikyo calling you?!"

"I don't know, answer it!" InuYasha yelled. Kikyo was his ex-girlfriend. He had no idea why she was calling him and he was afraid to find out.

"I'm not answering her call," Kagome said as she tossed the phone onto her boyfriend's bed.

"Then I'll do it," InuYasha said sitting up. He reached for the phone but paused when he saw the look on Kagome's face.

You got that good stuff good love put it one me can't get enough…

"Well do you want me to answer it or not?" InuYasha asked. He knew that Kagome didn't like the fact that Kikyo was calling him but there had to be a reason why she was.

Yup that's my girlfriend, Yup that's my girlfriend…

"I can't believe you chose THAT as her ringtone." Kagome mumbled as she crossed her arms. InuYasha didn't still have feelings for his ex did he?

All mine, shawty's with me all the time. Stay hot stay fly Keep her right by my side…

"It was from back when we were dating, I haven't changed it yet." InuYasha explained.

"Bastard," Kagome said under her breath.

Yup that's my girlfriend, Yup that's my girlfriend…

"I'm sorry Kagome, I really did forget!" InuYasha yelled. How could he be so stupid?! Kikyo just had to call at a time like this. He decided it was best not to answer. Kagome was more important to him anyway.

The phone stopped ringing and a look of thankfulness sprung across Kagome's face. She was glad he didn't pick up although she would never admit it.

InuYasha lay down on his side next to Kagome. He looked down directly into her eyes and brushed a claw against her cheek.

"I don't still have feelings for her. I know that's what you were thinking." He said softly.

Kagome stared back into InuYasha's amber eyes. She could get lost in them forever. "I know, but after what happened-"

"You don't have to explain yourself Kagome." InuYasha said. He kissed his girlfriend gently on the lips. Kagome accepted the embrace.

"And I'll change the ringtone as soon as my mom get's back."

"Ok…" Kagome whispered between kisses.

(5 minutes later)

Kagome stood up and walked towards bathroom. She promised she'd be right back and disappeared into the doorway. When the door had closed InuYasha pulled out his phone and checked the screen. It said, One New Voicemail.

He pushed 86 on his phone and waited for the answering machine to come on. He pushed in his password and listened to the directory. A few moments passed before the New Messages came on.

Message One: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 4:23 P.M

InuYasha sat up to listen better.

InuYasha its Kikyo. I need to talk to you about something important so can you meet me at the park on 5th Street as soon as you get this?

I know you're probably with her but trust me this can't wait. InuYasha…

Kikyo paused in the middle of her sentence and covered the phone. Muffled voices were in the background. About 15 seconds passed before Kikyo's voice came back on. She sounded whiney…

I'll be at the park until 5:30. Don't bring KAGOME!

InuYasha hung up. What was that long pause all about in the middle of the message? And what was so important that Kikyo needed to tell him?

Kagome immerged out of the bathroom and sat next to InuYasha on his bed. She looked at the phone in his hand. "She called back?"

InuYasha glanced up, "No, of course not!"

"Then what's wrong?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing," InuYasha replied. He stood and grabbed his car keys. "Are you ready to go home? That was my mom that just called me. She needs me to pick up Shippo from my grandmother's across town."

Kagome nodded, "Yeah, I've got to get home and do some homework anyway." She grabbed her backpack that had been propped up against the door.

The Park – Kikyo's Confession

InuYasha kissed Kagome on the cheek and watched as she got out of the car. He waited until she was inside and did a U turn back up the street. InuYasha felt bad that he had lied to his girlfriend but if Kagome knew he was going to see Kikyo she'd flip.

InuYasha made a left on 3rd Avenue and hit the gas on the road. It was 5:28 and he wanted to get what ever this was all about over with as soon as possible.

The park came into view and he parked about a block away. The sun was beginning to set and so far the Park looked empty. InuYasha smelled the air. Kikyo's scent was defiantly around. InuYasha took a breath and waited. He didn't want to seem desperate to talk to Kikyo and he needed a minute to think about what he was going to say to her.

10 minutes later he got out of the car and began to walk up the park pathway…

"InuYasha!"

He turned to see Kikyo running towards him. She was wearing a black skirt and a white spaghetti strap tank top underneath a denim jacket. Her hair was flowing down her back in curls and she had on some white Nike Air Forces. InuYasha wasn't going to lie, Kikyo looked good. She reminded him briefly of the old days when they were a couple but he shoved the thought out of his mind.

"I didn't think you'd come." Kikyo said once she reached him. She looked like she wanted to hug him.

"I just wanted to know what you wanted. You said it was important." InuYasha replied.

Kikyo looked over her shoulder, "Right. Well do you want to get a lemonade?"

"I'd like to go home." InuYasha said flatly. He didn't want to be rude but all he could think about was Kagome showing up at any minute even though he knew she wasn't.

"Can we at least sit?" Kikyo asked.

InuYasha exhaled, "Alright, fine."

&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome was on her bed listening to music when a knock came to her door. "Come in."

Sango entered the room.

Sango was Kagome's best friend. The two had known each other for quite awhile because their families had similar businesses and they talked about everything.

"Hey girl, what you doin?" Sango asked as she sat down next to her best friend.

"Just a little homework, InuYasha dropped me off about a half hour ago." Kagome said. She started doodling on the edge of her paper.

"Well I just heard that Mervin's is having a HUGE sale tonight. They call it the Night Nab. Corny name but do you want to go?" Sango explained.

Kagome chewed on her pencil cap. She didn't realize that she'd written InuYasha on her paper 17 times. "Yeah, I could always use a new pair of jeans. Let me grab my purse!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&

InuYasha followed Kikyo to a bench in the middle of the park. They sat down and both were quiet for a while.

"Well?" InuYasha asked. He started thinking about what Kagome was doing.

"Remember our first kiss?" Kikyo blurted out. She blushed as she looked down.

"What kind of question is that?" InuYasha growled. He had the strong urge to leave.

"Well do you?"

"Yeah, it was somewhere around here. Why?"

Kikyo looked back up, "It was underneath that tree over there."

She pointed to an Elm tree not far from where they were sitting. Its branches hung over a small bridge that ran along the side of the park.

"I remember." InuYasha said.

Kikyo scooted closer to him, "I miss us InuYasha."

InuYasha narrowed his eyes, "Yeah, I bet you miss cheating on me with OniGumo and Naraku too huh?"

"Hey that's not fair!" Kikyo protested "I told you I was going through a tough time!"

"Most girls I know lean on their boyfriends for support, not their best friends." InuYasha said coldly. Bad memories were flooding back to him.

"I know! But you weren't there for me InuYasha… at least when I needed you."

"Well SORRY if I had to go protect the world from evil demons a few nights a week!" InuYasha yelled angrily. He got up.

"No wait!" Kikyo pleaded "I didn't ask you to come here so that we could argue!"

"Then what?!"

"Damn you InuYasha I'm pregnant!"

InuYasha felt his body go numb.

babiswag: What's InuYasha going to do? He finally has things going in the right direction with Kagome but all of a sudden his evil ex is claiming she's pregnant?! This can't be true, Kikyo must be lying right? Or could InuYasha have fathered a child at the tender age of 17? Stay tuned to see!
