Everyone I thank you for your reviews for last chapter. I hope that I don´t disappoint you on this story. Now on to chapter 2.

My Dear Babies

Chapter 02

Kagome awoke from her dream, not remembering exactly what had appear to her during the night but happy nonetheless. She looked around seeing that she was in her room in her own time. She thought for a moment trying to remember why she would be here. When she did though, tears came to her eye and they escape her eyelids faster than she knew. Sobbing came out of her and she curled herself in her bed, trying to forget, to escape, the reality that was her.

There was a knock on her door, then the sound of the doorknob sounded around the room. Another knock. "Kagome, dear, are you there?" Someone asked from outside her room. The doorknob sounded again. "Kagome?" This time the voice sounded more worried.

For some reason unknown to her, but maybe she did knew why, her tears came down faster making her sobs sound louder. This time the door opened and her mother came in, keys still in the doorknob. As soon as she saw Kagome she rushed over to her.

"Kagome, what is wrong?" Her tender voice asked her, trying to sooth her crying daughter.

Kagome hugged her mother. She needed the strength right now. "Kagome?" Nonetheless she hugged her daughter back. "Did something happened with Inuyaha?"

Kagome shook her head indicating the negative. 'If only it was that…' She thought bitterly.

Her mother waited. She knew that if she stood by her she would eventually tell her. That was how mother would get what they wanted from their children anyways. Finally after a few minute passed, Kagome called down and started telling her mother what had happened.

When she was finished telling her, she did not know what to say. "Dear…I really don't know what to tell you, since this has never happened to me and I won't try to say what I have never experience. There is one thing I do know though. You are a strong girl and everything will be all right with you Kagome, because you are my daughter." She let her words sunk into Kagome's brain. "From what you have told me, maybe he was not at wrong." She stopped Kagome before she could talk. "I know, I know. He has tried to kill you, but I am just seeing it from a point of view of an outsider." She paused. "Maybe there was something wrong with him, like when InuYasha goes all demonic and all. You did tell me his eyes were red." This Kagome stop for a moment and think. " Maybe you need to talk to him. Of course not right away and all since this has just happened to you. Maybe later when you know you can do it and all. Just try to find out his reasons. After all, this Sesshoumaru and InuYasha are related." Again she paused. She hugged her tenderly once again. "Don't worry Kagome, I'm –your family– is here for you."

Kagome just thought of the reason and why this had happened to her. Not that she wanted it to happened to someone else. No. But still…


Kagome looked around seeing to see if she was missing anything. She had told the other she was going to be back in three days but she had plans with Kilala. She was not going to stay here and wallow in self-pity and become one of those girls who became psychological unstable and such. No, she needed to get out and she was just going to do that. She was going to see around Sengoku and she was going to do it alone. Well Kilala was going to be with her. She could just sigh at the bliss of not having InuYasha and his pressure of always having to move forwards and no rest.

Being sure that nothing was missing, she put her backpack on her back and exited the room giving it one last brief glance. She was not sure when she might be back. Closing the door she made her way down the stairs. He family was there and her mother who knew she needed to do this hugged her, one that gave her strength and said to her that she was going to be alright, that everything would be alright. And just right there and then she was sure everything would be alright. She turned to her Jii-chan and towards her brother that had not left for school yet and gave them a hug and said her goodbyes. You never knew what might happen.

"Ittekimasu!"

"Itterasshai!"

She made her way towards the well. Once she was in front of it she took a deep breath. Exhaling it she jumped down it and was once again embraced by the blue light. She looked up and saw the blue sky and a small smile came to her face. A shadow felt and she saw Kilala pop her head to see her.

"Hey Kilala! Give me a sec!" She started climbing the walls with the vines that were on it. Once reaching the top she gave a sigh of relief. She patted Kilala's head who purred. She gave a small laugh this time and continued petting her. "Hmm, so now where shall we go?" She titled her head a little. "We got two days…" she looked down towards Kilala. "Hmm…" Kilala too was giving her a look as if she didn't know where they should go. She stared at the forest for a second. "Maybe we should go East?" Kilala gave her a look remembering what happened the first time they were there. "Or Maybe South?" Kilala continued staring at her. "North?" Kagome by this time sounded more unsure. After a paused she made up her mind. "How about we go East first? We can stop by Kouga and Ayame to say hi. We can also see how they are doing after their mating. After that…Well we can think of where to go after that." She looked Kilala and stared at her red eyes. "What do you think?"

Kilala, who looked like she was thinking about her choice for a second, gave her a nod with her massive head.

"Okay!" She gave her another small smile. "Let's go!" Jumping into Kilala's back, Kagome held on into the cat's fur and they took off. Not wanting trouble, mainly InuYasha, she putted a barrier around them, rendering anyone from seeing them or smelling them.


The Daiyoukai awoke in his chambers feeling insecure and he never felt insecure. He thought back to why he might be feeling such feeling. Flashes of memories passed through his eyes as he tried recalling anything else he might remember. He remembered being in heat. Trying to control himself. Losing control. Then…nothing. Now he was sure he wasn't in heat. He stared at the wall while narrowing his eyes.

What had his beast done while he was in control?

The only way for it to go away was for him to pass the week or so it would last or for him to had mated or rut with someone. The first option was quickly eliminated as this was only the third day or should have been. That left… He inhaled and sure enough found the smell of a woman and a human at that. A growl left him. Who had he done it with? He tried remembering but came to an end. His beast most had broken their link to the memories so he didn't know. Smart beast. Well of course it was his beast.

Standing up from his bed he inhaled again. He knew that scent from somewhere, where exactly he did not know. He made his way towards a shouji door to his left and opened it. There was a private hot spring just for his use. He headed towards it and slowly started discarding his hakama and his other clothes. Slowly, while enjoying the sensation of the warm water on his muscles, he descended into the water. As soon as he was seated on the rock that was the floor his thoughts turned into deep ones, so deep that he missed that his body was a little different than usual.

After a while, he stood up and the water cascade down his body to join the other water in the hot spring. He made his way towards his room and continued to be deep in thoughts. How was he going to find her? He could always try to find her by scent but it might take a while as it was his only clue to the woman. Entering his chamber, he went towards his clothes that were waiting on top of his futon. One of his servants must have brought it. He changed and yet again did not noticed the difference in his body. Once done, sword in place, he made his way out. He headed towards the dining room. Rin should be there by now.

Many demons he passed bowed to him but he paid them no attention. He was their lord and it was their duty to bow to him. As he came to a stop in front of shouji doors that were bigger than others, the servants bow to him and waited until he was ready to enter to slide the doors open. They did so when they were sure he was to enter.

Just as he had though Rin had already been there and she came running to him as he entered.

"Lord Sesshoumaru!" She stopped in front of him giving a hug to his leg as it was usual of her and he patted her head as was usual of him too. She now reached his waist in height, and it made him realized that she was growing quick as was expected of humans unlike youkai children.

The guards that were stationed inside to protect Rin in case any…accidents…were to happened bowed to him. He had too many enemies and he did not want anything to happen to his ward.

He continued toward the head of the table and sat down and Rin too sat down to his Right. As soon as the servants thought he was ready, a door slid open to his left. Servants came with trays of food on their hands. Putting it down on the table they bowed to him and left as quickly as they had come.

Taking his chopsticks, he took a bite out of the food, and allowed Rin to eat her food. She had learned a lot on the three to four years she had been with him.

His thoughts turned to his predicament. Now how was he going to find her? Just thinking of his dilemma making him unable to enjoy his food. As soon as he was finished he put his chopsticks down and stood up. Rin looked at him and he gave her a nod which she returned with a smile.

In the meantime he had paper work to do.


It had taken a while for Kagome and Kilala to get to the caves that were the home of the wolves but they had finally arrived. At the entrance, she saw a wolf which smiled at her as soon as he recognized her. "Sister."

"Hey," she returned a small smile to him, "Are Kouga and Ayame around?" She asked as she got off the cat who turned to her small form and jumped on her left shoulder. The wolf nodded to her and turn to another wolf that was a ways inside the entrance and told him to notify their leader. "Thank you." He nodded at her once again. She looked around as she waited for them. The waterfall was still as beautiful as she remembered it but something looked at missed to her as she continued to look around.

Kilala gave a meow and Kagome looked towards the cave's entrance. She smiled as Kouga accompanied with Ayame made their way towards her. She waited until they were out in the light for her human eyes to take in their forms. As soon as they were she was shocked and stared at already shocked couple. 'Those…' she thought slowly trying to processed what she was seeing, 'weren't there the last time I saw them…' She made her mind not think of the youkai she did know had similar ones.

She didn't notice the suppressed surprise faces that the couple too wore.

They stepped forward and her mind came back to who was in front of her. Her eyes strayed down. "Wow Ayame," her voice was a soft one as she looked tenderly at the wolf's abdomen, "you're expecting." It sounded more like a question though it wasn't meant to be.

Ayame gave her a small smile as her right hand went to her definitely big stomach. "Yes, I'm with pup." Her voice sounded so happy. 'Well who wouldn't be,' Kagome thought, 'after finally getting the man you want and having his child. Thought in this case is youkai and pup.' She smiled to herself.

She came closer to them. "How long are you in?" she asked very excited and then a thought came to her. "Wait, are youkai pregnancies different?" She would expect it but she wasn't sure as it had never occurred to her to ask.

Kouga went and hugged the Miko surprising her. "It's been so long Kagome!" He pulled away and gave her his wolfish smirk that she was now used to. She shook her head at him. "What?" He frowned at her. "No, nothing." She smiled.

Ayame too laughed. "Well, we should go in now. Kagome must be tired after her journey."

"Right, let go in!" Kouga turned and guided them into the cave. He took so many turns in her opinion that she was sure she would have gotten lost had she been alone. They entered a big room which as lighten very bright and she guessed it was because the wolves here knew she was human. She waited until Ayame and Kuga were seated to seat herself. She cushions were made out of fur and they felt very good in her skin. Kilala jumped down from her shoulder and made herself comfortable on her laps. She must be tired after flying for so long.

"How have you been Kagome?" Kouga's voice came to her ears and she looked at the mates.

"I've been…" there was a pause as she thought of a word. She hasn't exactly been great but she didn't want to lie nor tell them the truth. "okay I guess." It wasn't exactly a lie.

They let it passed as no smell came to their sensitive noses. "Good Good! Where is the mutt anyways?" He suddenly stood up. "Did he abandon you?! That mutt! I swear….!"

"NO No!" Kagome wave her hands in front of her fast. "I'm just taking a break! I went home for a while so he doesn't know I'm here." She gave him a nervous smile. "And I don't want him to know either." She stared at him as he cooled down a little.

"Did something happen?" He slowly asked staring at her, wanting for her to give him the that was the truth.

"…" There was a silence. "Not with him if that is what you are wondering."

"So something happened?" This time Ayame was the one to ask. Kagome as acting somehow weird, even she knew it. Now that she didn't hate the miko in front of her and were even friends, she really genuinely worried for her.

There was another paused. "I just needed a break, sometime to think on my own…" There was another pause. "What are those markings anyway?" She said suddenly, trying to change the subject.

They noticed the change in subject but they allowed it. If she didn't want to tell them they wouldn't pressure her. They suddenly froze. Kagome noticed this.

"What's wrong?" The Miko asked.

"You can see these?" He pointed to the very visible, to her eyes anyways, sun marking on his forehead.

"Of course." She said dumbfound. "…I shouldn't be able to see them?"

"Well…" Kouga paused.

"Only selected people and youkai can see it." Ayame finished for him.

"Yeah, it has some type of barrier." Kagome opened her mouth but shut it as soon as she opened it as Kouga continued talking. "Don't ask me why 'cause I won't be able to tell you."

"Oh…Then do you both got it because you guys are mated?"

"Something like that." Ayame's voice answered her.

"Why do you have that crescent moon in your forehead Kagome?" Kouga asked carefully, as if treating in dangerous grounds.

She stared at him shocked.

'What crescent moon?' Unconsciously her hand went to her forehead and her mind suddenly registered that the skin in the middle of her forehead felt a little bit different compared to the other parts. "…Wha…" The words escape her mouth before she could stop them.

They waited for a moment. "Kagome?"

She continued in her thoughts. How had she gotten the crescent moon on her forehead? She thought stray back to the person who she knows has such markings. It couldn't be because of…the rape…could it? Well…

"Um…T-This is actually make-up." She paused for a nano second. "Yes, make-up. Lately I've been really into the crescent moon, and in my home village it pretty common to do this." She congratulated herself in thinking so fat of a lie. Though the part about being common in her village wasn't really one. She really hoped they bought it. They should have, since she still had the barrier to stop her scent around herself.

"Oh, it looks pretty good on you Kagome." Ayame smiled at her hile rubbing her big stomach.

She gapped for a moment in disbelief even thought she knew they would believeher. "Y-Yeah? T-Thanks." She didn't know what to say anymore after that. After a few minutes, to her at least, she asked the question that went unanswered when he arrived. "How are youkai pregnancies different from humans one anyways?" She hoped this would distract her and the wolves.

Ayame gave her a small smile and began to explain her question. It took a while but Kagome finally understood the difference. The pregnancies were definitely different.

They continued talking for a while longer, and she actually forgot about all the things that had happened. After they had finished discussing more of the difference between pregnancies, a blanket of silence dropped over them.

"Well um…" Kagome said trying to think of something, "we have to go now." She stood up after Kilala jumped out of her laps.

"Already?" Kouga and Ayame both frown. It had been a while since they saw her and she was leaving so quick. Kouga stood up, he then helped Ayame as she could not do it herself.

"Yeah." Kagome said smiling nervously to them as she waited for Ayame to stand up.

"I understand then." Kouga said as he guided them towards the cave's entrance.

Once they were outside, Kagome continued walking and then turned to them. "Thank you for having me over." Kilala changed to her big form and waited for her. She gave both a quick hug. "And sorry for coming over unexpectedly." She walked towards Kilala and got on her. She turned to them again. "I'll see you again! Bye!" Kilala took off.

"Bye Kagome!" Kouga yelled after her.

"Come by soon!" Ayame told her.

Kagome and both wolves continued to wave for a while. When she was far away that she couldn't see them that well with her human eyes she turned to Kilala. "This really helped me." She gave a sigh. "But what were they talking about?" She thought back to their conversation. "How could I possibly have his marking too?" She thought for a moment. "Kilala, let's find a place with water. Hot spring would be awesome thought." The cat growl lowly and speed up. She knew had that meant but she had no way of telling the miko.

Back at the cave, Kouga stood and waited until he knew Kagome will not come back. He turned towards the cave and his voice was different from earlier. "Prepare the Lady's and my thing," he said in a commanding voice. One of the wolves that were there went to do his binding but he could still hear what their leader was saying. "We leave for the Western Castle before the sun sets."

The wolves bowed as he and Ayame pass them. Man was this going to be a tiresome trip.
