I do not own

When night came everyone gather around the fire. Kagome was sitting next to her mom; who was holding her and Souta close. They were listening to Rick as he told them what he went through when he woke up from the hospital. She knew it must have been hard for him to see how things are now but she doubt that any of them knew about the other danger that's out there.

"How about you Kagome?' Dale asked

"I guess I felt the same. When I woke up in the hotel room I heard a lot of screaming and I went to look out the window and saw people being attack by those things." She said "I was scared of course. Never thought that the movies could be true. But I knew I had to be strong for Souta and get us out of there." She didn't want to tell them about what happened after that so she left that out. "We did and three months after that we met Blade and his group. They let us stay with them and they taught us how to survive and defend ourselves. Blade was like an older brother to us."

"How did you guys spilt up." Amy asked

Souta clutched onto Sukie as Kagome gripped her baby bump and her eyes held a little bit of fear in them. Merle was the only one that noticed this but said nothing yet.

"Let's just say not all beings were as friendly with us as you were." She said "We had to fight for our supply, which turned ugly, and that got the Walkers attention. That's when we got spilt up. But I know they'll fine us soon."

No one else seem to notice that she used the word 'beings' instead of people which made Merle think that they had a run in with vampires. Yes he knew what they were. His little brother pretty much became a target for them before the world went to hell and he was pretty sure Daryl told him something about a man name Blade before.

Time has passed and everyone had gone to sleep in their own tents. Kagome was going to set up their things inside their moms' tent until Sukie stopped her so she could do it. Since she was pregnant Sukie didn't want her to be lifting anything. Souta was already asleep on his cot that was next to his mothers' and Sesshomaru was sleeping by the door of the tent to keep guard. Once Kagome placed a Sacred Sutra on the tent she headed straight for bed.

"Mama." Kagome whispered "When Blade comes, will you come with us?"

"Of course I am. I'm never going to leave your side again." Sukie said "Though I don't think your uncle is going to be happy about it."

"Blade and Whistler don't like outsiders that much. Not if they know that they're trustworthy." Kagome said laying on her cot. "The beings that are after us are just as dangerous as the Walkers. Its best that we don't get other people involved."

"The vampires you told me about, are they bad as demons?" Sukie asked

"They have the same charm, strength and speed as them but none of them have a form." Kagome explained "Their vulnerable in sunlight and sliver can kill them."

Sukie looked down at her daughters baby bump with a sad smile and placed a gentle hand on the bump.

"Is the father…is he the vampires that took you?" She asked

Kagome looked down in sadness but nodded her head yes. Sukie eyes started to tear up and brought Kagome in a motherly protective hug.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that, baby." Sukie said and rubbing her back. "You have to tell them soon Kagome." Sukie said

"I know…but I'll tell them when Blades here." Kagome said "Night mama."

Sukie placed the blanket over Kagome and kissed her head.

"Good night darling." Sukie smiled before going over to her cot and fell asleep

Kagome dreaming

Kagome was alone in the middle of the woods somewhere. All the sudden she heard screaming. She hurried towards them and when she came to the campsite everyone was dead. When she saw her mother and brother on the ground there was blood all around them. She felled to her knees and started to cry. But she stopped when she heard a baby crying behind her. She turns around and froze when she saw herself holding a baby in her arms and was covered in blood while humming a song to the baby. Her other self just looked at her with a smirk; showing off her fangs, and her eyes turned black, red, and yellow. Then an arm wrapped around her waist and grabbed her neck from behind.

"How long can you resist the thirst, my love? Do you really think you could just seal away what you are now? The thirst will always wins my dear and when it does you'll have no choice but to come back to me. Ka-go-me." A dark voice said huskily and licked her cheek.

She'll recognized that voice anywhere. It was the same man that held her and her brother prisoner.

"Drake?" She said "How?"

He chuckled and nibbled her ear.

"You have your tricks and I have mine." He said "I told you that I will fine you no matter where you go. You have my child after all so you belong to me. You are mine."

Then she felt his fangs pierce her neck.

.

.

Kagome gasped when she woke up. She quickly put her hand on her neck where he bite her as it felt so real but sighed in relief when it wasn't bleeding. She looked around the tent and notice everyone was already up. Seeing that everyone was up she got herself dressed and met up with everyone. She smiled when she saw Rick and her mom talking to each other.

"Morning sweetie." Sukie smiled

"Why didn't you wake me up mama?" Kagome asked

"Well you never did like it when someone woke up. I knew you needed the rest." Sukie said and placed a hand on Kagome's bump. "Especially, for this little one."

"Hungry?" Rick asked as he handed her a plate

"Starving. I feel like I can eat a horse." Kagome smiled as she took the plate

Rick laughed as understood what she was talking about; having to go through the same situation with Lori when she was pregnant. Speaking of Lori, Kagome didn't miss the glares that Lori was sending her and her mother as Rick was talking to them. For as long as Kagome could remember she knew Lori was always jealous of her mother. Only because both her father, Charles Grimes, Rick and Shane had eyes for her mother when they were in college together. Lori had a thing for her father but he was in love with Sukie. So when Charles and Sukie got married and Lori had married Rick. It was all an act when Rick was around but she knew to never pick a fight with Sukie, especially if it involves her children. Everyone always thought that Kagome got her temper from her father but half of it was from her mother. Only difference is that Sukie knew when to pick her battles but even then her calm voice can be scarier than her yelling.

"Kagome, me and other ladies are going to wash clothes in the lake so can you watch the kids for me please?" Sukie asked

"Yes mama." Kagome said "Has anyone seen Sesshomaru?"

"That big dog of yours? I saw him heading in the woods 5 minutes ago." Shane said

"He must be off hunting then." She said

Kagome snapped her head in the direction were the kids went and sensed a walker nearby. Sukie saw the look Kagome had and knew something was out there for she sensed it to. She took Kagome's bow and quiver of arrows from her and headed where to walker was. That got Ricks attention so he followed her along with everyone else. When she saw the walker in site it was feeding on a dead deer. Notching the bow and arrow she quickly shot the Walker in the head.

"Nice shot." Dale said

"Thank you." Sukie said

"This is the first one that got up here." Dale said "They never come this far up the mountain."

"Well, they're running out of food in the city, that's what." Jimmy said

"I'll keep an eye out. It's highly rare for a walker to be alone. They normally come in hoards if they see one doing the same." Kagome said to her mother in Japanese. "Like monkey see, monkey do. It's the least I can do now."

She almost pouted a little; knowing that her mother and Uncle weren't going to let her do anything since she is pregnant. Then they heard rustle in the bushes and Kagome sensed that it was human. He didn't show any signs that he was dangerous so she wasn't worried. When he appeared they saw a rugged man holding a crossbow coming out of the bushes. They all sigh in relief when they saw who it was.

"Son of a bitch! That's my deer!" The person said

"Jesus Daryl." Dale said

"Say something next time, dick-head. I could have shot your dumb-ass." Merle said

"Look at it. All gnawed on by this…" He kicked the dead Walker. "Filthy disease-bearing," and kick "motherless poxy bastard." Daryl said while kicking the now dead walker.

"Calm down, son. That's not helping." Dale said

"What do you know about it, old man?" Daryl said "Why don't you take that stupid hat and go back to "On Golden Pond"?"

Kagome and Souta looked at their mother when he said that. Sukie just shook her head at her kid as she didn't know what he was talking about either.

"I've been tracking this deer for miles." He said; walked over to the deer to pull out his arrows from it. "I was gonna drag it back to camp and cook us up some venison." When he finished pulling the last arrows out. "What do you think? Do you think we can cut around this chewed up part right there?"

"I wouldn't risk that." Shane said

Kagome had to agree with that.

"That's a damn shame. Well, I got us some squirrel. About a dozen or so." Daryl said lifting up a rope that was full of dead squirrels. "That'll have to do."

"Well at least you got something that's meat." Merle said

They were about to head back until they heard another rustle in the bushes. Kagome smiled when she sensed that it was Sesshomaru. She smiled even wildly when she saw him carrying a wild pig with ease and that wasn't all. On his back was the bag of guns that Rick thought that he lost in the city.

"Thank you Sesshomaru." She said petting his head. "Uncle Rick, is this the bag of guns you lost?"

He sigh in relief but raised a brow as he was confused on how Sesshomaru got it.

"Thanks boy. But how where you able to get them that fast?" He asked

"Just lucky I guess." Kagome shrugged

"Who the hell are you?" She heard Daryl asked

She looked up at him and had to hold back a blush when he saw how handsome he was. He had a roughed charmed to him.

"My name's Kagome and this is Sesshomaru." She said

"I'm starting to like that mutt of yours, Baby doll." Merle said as he picked up the pig.

Sesshomaru growled at him when he called him a mutt. Seeing that there was no more danger everyone headed back to camp. Kagome was leaving too till she noticed that Daryl had stayed behind a little and gave her a once over. She couldn't help but blush a little which he noticed. He gave her a small smirk before he left to catch up to his brother.

'Why do I feel this way?' She thought

Kagome then realized that Sesshomaru was still right next to her.

"Not one word Sessy. Not one word." Kagome said

Then she walked away, not noticing that Sesshomaru smirked and chuckled a little.

After everyone had their filled from the wild pig Jacqui and Carol had cut up the rest of the meat and placed in the R.V's freezer. Sukie had left with some of the women to the lake to do laundry. Rick and Shane went along to show Carl and Souta how to catch frogs; making Lori a little nervous for them to be alone together. Kagome was watching over Sophia and the other the children while placing Sacred Sutras around the camp ground.

"So what are these things Kagome?" Sophia asked

"They're called Sutras." Kagome said when placing one on a tree and filling it with her powers. "They'll create a barrier around the camp ground. It'll protect us from anything with darkness in its soul. Even the monsters that are out there right now. If they try to touch the barrier they'll turn to ash."

"You shouldn't give these kids that kind of hope."

The kids turned to see Lori with her arms cross.

"It's the truth. It protected my group for the longest time." Kagome said not looking at her and trying not to let her anger get to her.

Since she is pregnant her temper has gotten worse.

"Yet you got attack by a hoard and got separated." Lori smirked

Daryl and Merle were close by as they were cleaning their weapons and they glared at Lori for that blow. It was unnecessary. Kagome took a deep breath and counted to ten before turning to Lori.

"If one of the Sutras is taken off than it won't work. The group that attacked us knew this and took them off." Kagome glared

She didn't understand why Lori was doing this but she wasn't going to back down.

"Keep telling yourself that. Whatever lets you sleep at night." Lori smirked and walked away

"Like you do when you're clearly sleeping with two guys at once and hasn't said anything to Rick." Kagome said

Lori stopped in her tracks with wide eyes. Merle almost chocked on his drink when he started to laugh at Kagomes' comment and Daryl just smirked. Everyone knew about Lori and Shane but didn't have the guts to tell Rick yet. He was glad that someone else besides Sukie was put her in her place.

"What did you say?" Lori narrowed her eyes as she turned to Kagome.

"You heard me. And it's been obvious by the way you two have been acting. I also wonder if Rick notice how Carl has been distance from you since we've arrived." Kagome said

"Listen here you little brat, you better not tell no one about it." Lori said

"Or what?" Kagome challenged

"I can make your life here a living hell. I can make Shane and Rick kick you and your family out of here." Lori said

"You seem to forget that Rick is my uncle and that we are a close family. He won't let that happen." Kagome said "No matter how good you are in the sack."

Lori was about to slap her until…

"You weren't about to slap my daughter now were you Lori." Sukie said from behind

Lori turned to see Sukie glaring at her with Andrea and Jacqui by her side. The two women never liked Lori because she always acted like she was above them since she was with Shane. Lori glared at Kagome and Sukie before walking away.

Yes there will be some Lori bashing. I never liked her.
