Chapter One
The sound of small feet was heard moments before Kagome's bedroom door was thrown open. It was a Sunday morning, her only day off from her hectic job as a parallegal. The job wasn't too hard, just alot of busy moments which kept her life filled. Saturdays were usually only half-days, if things turned out well. Those days were spent organizing everything for the next week to come. She groaned remembering they were suppose to head into town today. Not one of her favorite pasttimes. Being in the city all week made one want to stay home on their only day off. Yet the small figure climbing into the large queen size bed wasn't going to let that happen.
"Momma, get up!" The small boy with short black hair and dark blue eyes began to jump up and down. Causing his mother to moan a few times in protest. Today they were going to the park to play. It was his most favorite places to go. All last night he'd waited impatiently in bed for morning to come. Now the sun was up, signaling that it was time to go. The car ride wasn't fun but it didn't last too long.
Kagome finally gave in and pulled the pillow from over her head. "Can't I sleep just a few more minutes? Go watch cartoons for a few hours then we will go." A small giggle escaped her lips when a head butted against her stomach. The sight of a four year old trying to ram her out of the bed caused great mirth. She'd get up in a few minutes but it was fun to pick on her son. He lived for Sundays, it was their day. Usually they spent the day alone, on the other days he would come with them. "Hmm, go bug Dappy."
"No thanks, he's already had the pleasure of waking me up." Yusuke grinned at the two on the bed. His heart swelled slightly seeing the small boy begin to jump on top of the small woman. Mornings like this he could almost forget about all his heartache and pain. It still caused his heart to bleed whenever he thought about his past. These two had given him another reason to keep going on. That day in the mall his life had totally changed. Kagome had walked into his life for the first time. The only think missing now was Keiko but it was a loss he would have to live without. Thinking about it always brought back how they bonded from the first look. The shared look of immense pain and suffering, both needing someone to support them. At first it had been hard to really believe that Kagome was in any kind of pain. It wasn't long before he saw the despair she was hiding.
That day they sat down and shared a pizza, fast forming their friendship. It had been nice to talk to someone that listened to what he had to say. Kuwabara and the others were all biased about his problems. They all loved Keiko as well as him, so they couldn't begin to understand. Kagome had been the shoulders he had needed during a bad time. He'd only been back from the Makai for a year then. Him and Keiko had been planning their wedding, their new life together. But everytime he would walk out the door he recieved the fifth degree. He'd promised Keiko that he wouldn't leave her again, she hadn't believed him. The fights got worse after a few months of bliss. Having taken their relationship into the sexual stage had opened up a new can of worms. The talk of kids came up, then they would fight. She wanted to wait for a family, he'd wanted one sooner. Throw in his usual temper and disposition, things went downhill fast. Everyone knew he was a pervert, it was part of who he was. The accusations of cheating began right before he met Kagome. He'd let it slip one night at dinner to Kuwabara how Raizen was supposedly a woman's man at one time. Not to mention the stanima of the Mazaku. Keiko hadn't liked hearing of his youkai traits, she knew all too well of his own stanima in bed. Many a night she forced him to stop due to becoming sore during sex. She'd asked him a few days later would the day come that she could no longer satisfy him in bed. It had been the most stupid question he'd ever heard come from her. Didn't the girl know he had loved her and still did to this very day?
Yusuke had listened to Kagome explain that she'd recently lost her heart to a guy. The bastard had used her then discarded her like she was nothing. What was worse she'd just found out that she was carrying the man's child. He tried to get her to tell the man, he had a right to know of the baby. To this day she wouldn't give him a name or contact the other guy. After having dinner they traded numbers and promised to keep in touch. Everytime him and Keiko got in a fight he'd find a way to call Kagome. This went on for about two months, she tried to help him the best she could. Their last big fight was about him being gone late one night. He'd gone to Genkai's to train with the old hag. Even if he'd given up that part of his life he wanted to stay in shape. Accusations were thrown, from seeing someone else to going back to his life of fighting. Instead of sitting down and talking to the woman he loved he'd stormed out. His path had taken him to Kagome's shrine and to the end of his relationship with Keiko.
The Higurashi family had been out of town so he'd slept on the couch after pouring his heart out. Kagome had convinced him that he had to think of things from Keiko's point of view. The girl was just scared and worried because she'd already lost him once. He knew Kagome was right and had planned to make things up to Keiko the next morning. But before that could happen Kagome had been making breakfast the next morning when there had been a knock at the door. His friend had opened the door up to see a very shocked Keiko and Kurama standing there. Seemed she'd gotten worried about him when he didn't come home and had the fox locate him. There was no explaining things to his distraught girlfriend. He knew what it had looked like, even Kurama had looked disappointed in him.
Several times he'd tried to explain it to Keiko but the girl wouldn't listen to him. Everyone believed that he'd been seeing Kagome behind Keiko's back. Yet he wouldn't just abandon the girl to satisfy their moral values. They'd done nothing wrong then and until this day. Instead of going back home he'd gotten him an apartment in town. When Kagome was seven months along he'd invited her to live with him. Not having finished school he didn't make much money with his job. Kuwabara still came to see them often, he never brought up Keiko's name. He'd be polite and speak with Kagome but they never got too close. Yusuke knew all his old friends and family believed that him and Kagome had been a couple before him and Keiko split. They also believed that the child was his. He'd denied the fact the first time Kuwabara had accused him of it. Having it thrown back in his face made him pissed off beyond anything else. Guess he could understand why they believed it. Right after the boy was born he found out a secret Kagome had been keeping from him. The baby's father was definitely a youkai. The boy having youkai in him, made it easy for everyone to point a finger at Yusuke.
So their lives went on, both of them being content. He still loved Keiko who'd gotten engaged again recently and some nights he heard Kagome still crying. They were still nursing their hearts but taking each day at a time. This was his family now, he loved them. "Get up lazy, we'll go get some breakfast. Come on kid, so she can get dressed. We don't get her up now, she'll stay in bed all day."
Kagome watched the two until the door shut them from her view. What would she do without those two? Yusuke was her bestfriend and her pillar of strength, while Toshi was reason for living. If it weren't for their smiles she wouldn't be able to deal with it all. She had been distraught realizing she was carrying Touya's child. He'd crushed her heart and hadn't left much. After talking to Yusuke, she eventually became to see her child as a gift. Something beautiful had come from their time together. It didn't matter if she'd been used, it had given her Toshi. She'd left the past knowing everyone would continue their lives and so would she. Yusuke had helped her alot by giving her a place to stay and supporting her while she went to night school for two years. Now she was the one to bring in most of the money. Things had been tough, yet they had thrived.
It pained her to know that she had a part in breaking things up for Yusuke and Keiko. She wouldn't let herself feel guilty though. Trust was very important in a relationship along with honesty. If Keiko wouldn't let him explain then she wasn't worthy of him. It showed that the girl had no trust in Yusuke, to automatically assume that they'd been sleeping together. Kagome couldn't imagine being with any other man. Yusuke was definitely out of the running for her next man. Not that he wasn't sexy as hell. It was just hard to get excited about someone you saw as a brother. Truth be told her heart still longed for another. Most nights she'd always see his face, always there taunting her. Her son's disposition often reminded her of the man.
What had become of him? He was a youkai, making it possible that he was still alive. Of course, she'd be dead to him. She'd told him alot about herself but never told him about being from the future. That part of herself had been kept from him. If he hadn't betrayed her then she might have eventually told him. Now even that didn't matter, she was dead to him as he was to her. He'd been after the shards just like all the others. The accursed jewel that had started her misfortune and still plaqued her. Two months after giving birth she'd fallen ill for a few days. Her body breaking out in a high fever, then the pain had begun. Something caused the jewel to reform and return to her body. Not taking the time to figure it out she went to work making a ward strong enough to cover the presence of it. There were more youkai these days, it couldn't be sensed. Four years had gone by since then and it was safely hidden within her.
"Hey, get your ass out of bed already." Yusuke's voice came from the other side of the door. Extending a finger in the air, she willed him to see it. Today was going to be a long hot one. Time to get up and make sure her son enjoyed it.
