Chapter 2
The stomach virus excuse worked and everyone decided it was best not to travel until she felt better. Kaede could see through her excuse though. Kaede had pulled her aside from the others and far away from Inuyasha's ears. "Ye can tell me the truth child." Kagome had smiled sadly, "I didn't think you would believe that. The truth is.. I'm pregnant, but I don't want the others to know yet." Kaede nodded even though she was surprised, "I take it Inuyasha is not the father?" Kagome shook her head, "No and he will be furious when he finds out who it is." Kaede had nodded again, "I would not believe you as one to give in to Koga's advances." Kagome knew Kaede would know who it was without even saying it. "It is still hard to believe that the great Lord Sesshomaru would charm ye." Kagome couldn't help but blush when Kaede had said that.
After talking she went back to the others and laid down. She was feeling so tired and just wanted a nap. Shippo was more than happy to nap with her. Since she had slept all day she decided to go for a walk when everyone was asleep. Inuyasha asked where she was going and she would spit back, "No where for you to be concerned with! I will be back in a few." He grumbled and settled back in his spot.
Sesshomaru just had to see her again and left Jaken with Rin. He knew the toad would not let Rin be hurt or he would lose his life. She would be safe until he got back.
He walked down wind through the forest so he wouldn't attract his ignorant half-breed brother. He could feel Kagome's aura moving towards him and he stood in place letting her come to him. After a minute of waiting he was rewarded by a surprised Miko. "Sesshomaru? What are you doing here?" She quickly put up a barrier so they wouldn't be interupted. His face was calm, "Can I not see my mate without being questioned?" Kagome's face blushed when she heard the words 'mate'.
He went to her and embraced her letting his lip caress hers. She backed away gently, but still in his embrace. "There is something important I need to tell you Sesshomaru." He released her and looked at her giving her his attention. Kagome took a breath and looked down, "You're not going to be happy with this but..." Sesshomaru was growing impatient, "Tell me." She nodded and looked up at him sadly, "I'm.. how would you say it.. with pup?" She tried her best to explain it to him, but he knew it was coming. "So you are with my child?" She nodded keeping her eyes down. He lifted her chin to look at him, "Look at me Kagome." She lifted her eyes to him and blushed softly when she saw no anger in his eyes. His lips softly brushed against hers and she relaxed. "I will need to place a mating mark on you soon. It would be best if you had the child at my castle, it would be safer." She seemed confused, but understood. "I will come to retrieve you in two days. Make sure you are ready by then." He gave her a gentle kiss on her head before leaving. She removed the barrier and knew she had to tell everyone when they were awake.
Sesshomaru mentally kicked himself for boreing a child with a human, but she was no ordinary human.. she was a powerful priestess. Perhaps their child would have untold power? He still kicked himself for becoming his father. The other Lords would laugh and mock him for having his father's 'tastes'. Oddly he would still seem cold, but only Kagome, their child and Rin would know his true side. He needed to remain cold to his servants in order for them not to see him as weak. He would protect his human mate better than his father had protected his.
Inuyasha immediately jumped up when Kagome had came back and with the scent of his brother on her. "Where have you been?" Kagome frowned at him, "I will explain in a minute.. stop barking at me!" He growled and jumped down in front of her, "Why do I smell Sesshomaru's scent on you?" Kagome wasn't really in the mood for this. She gave him a good sit before she asked the others to come outside for a moment.
Inuyasha sat on the roof of the hut with his ears twitching in frustration. As the others had sat down Kagome took a breath, "I might as well come out and say it... I don't have a stomach virus..." Sango and Miroku seemed confused. "Then out with it!" Inuyasha spat. Kagome looked at them with a calm face, "I'm going to have a child." Everyone was shocked and Sango looked at her, "Who is the father?" Inuyasha growled balling his hand into a fist. Kagome took a breath with her eyes avoiding Inuyasha, "Sesshomaru... is the baby's father." Everyone was really shocked to hear that it was him and not Inuyasha. "I'll kill that bastard!" Just as Inuyasha was jumping off the hut Kagome yelled, "SIT!" Causing him to fall to the ground making a rather large indention in the ground. "I won't explain myself, but it happened and I regret none of it. I love him and he is coming to get me tomorrow." "Over.. my.. dead.. body.." Inuyasha managed to say in pain. Kagome sat him angrily again and looked at the others. "Kaede saw through me and we talked. I saw Sesshomaru last night and told him first because he needed to know. He thinks it will be safer if I have the baby at his castle." Sango frowned, "But we won't get to ever see you." Kagome smiled sadly, "I'm sure I could get him to let you come see me. I'm sorry I couldn't help get the shards back faster..." Kagome felt sad; she had wanted to finish collecting the shards, but without getting them faster she would stay with Sesshomaru longer. Sango shook her head, "It's ok Kagome. We can manage to collect them." She hugged her friend and Shippo tugged on her sleeve. "Does that mean I won't get to see you either?" Kagome smiled at him, "Sesshomaru knows I see you like a son. I'm sure he will let you come with me if you want?" Shippo was happy to know he would still be with his serogate mother. After a while Inuyasha had gotten up and vanished. Kagome hoped he wasn't going to do anything stupid.
