Does he not understand…?

Why did he choose…her?

I love him…

I love him so much…

Can he not see it…?

Sesshomaru lay on his side thinking. His brain in a jumble. It hurt. It hurt so much. Everything hurt. His head his stomach…his heart. Everything felt like it was on fire. A never ending blaze, so hot and so cruel destroying the demon from the inside out. Unintentionally he let out a small pained whine grabbing the attention of Jaken who quickly made his way over to him.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Jaken asked in a hurried nervous voice. Sesshomaru rolled onto his side.

"Jaken…"

"Yes my lord?"

"There's something….wrong….my baby…I need my brother…find my brother…" Sesshomaru muttered his eyes closing. Jaken blinked in confusion but did as he was told and took off with Ah Un to search for Inuyasha. Rin sat by Sesshomaru looking confused.

"Is the baby coming my lord?" She asked.

"No…it's too early…" Sesshomaru replied in a pained gasp.

What was happening?

Jaken sat on Ah Un his eyes roaming searching for the half breed.

"Stupid half breed." Jaken muttered as he thought about his lord. He looked towards the ground and nearly shrieked in relief when he saw Inuyasha's group walking past town. Ah Un landed on the grass and Jaken hopped off him and raced off towards the group. Sango was the first to see him and grabbed Miroku's sleeve stopping him.

"Inuyasha." Sango called stopping the Hanyou. He turned and looked towards the imp.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I have come here on behalf of your brother. It is urgent that you follow me and come see him." Jaken replied eyes narrowed. Inuyasha snorted.

"Yeah, he sent you huh?"

"Yes, he won't let me go and find someone else. He wants you." Inuyasha began walking away his fingers intertwined with Kagomes.

"I could really care less." Inuyasha said with a huff. Sango and Miroku frowned at the Inu.

"Inuyasha you should really see what he needs." Miroku muttered.

"I don't care what he needs." Inuyasha snapped. Miroku frowned and turned to Jaken.

"If he won't go then allow me to see him."

"He only wishes to see-"

"I know that but I'm sure if I see him I can tell Inuyasha if it was important or not."

"OF COURSE IT'S IMPORTANT LORD SESSHOMARU WOULD NEVER CALL FOR THE HALF BREED UNLESS IT WAS!" That caught Inuyasha's attention. That was true. Sesshomaru rarely came to him. Walking away from Kagome he approached the imp.

"Take me to him."

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Ah Un landed and Inuyasha leapt from his back and made his way over to where Sesshomaru lay. Rin quickly got out of his way and Inuyasha knelt by his brother's head. Sesshomaru looked up at his brother with pained eyes.

"Inu…" Inuyasha lay a hand on his brother's pale cheek and looked down at him.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I am in pain Inuyasha." Sesshomaru winced. Inuyasha stroked his brother's face. His golden eyes searched his brother for any wounds but found none. His eyes landed on Sesshomaru's stomach.

"Is the baby hurting you?"

"Yes." Sesshomaru whined. Inuyasha placed a hand on the round flesh and licked his lips thinking of what he should do. He couldn't just leave him here in pain. Slowly Inuyasha scooped his brother up and walked back towards Ah Un with Rin in tow, he lay his brother down and Jaken looked towards the hanyou in worry.

"What is wrong with him?" He asked. Inuyasha shook his head.

"I don't know, I'm going to take his somewhere safe to be treated." Ah Un took off with his passangers flying back towards Inuyasha's group were had set up camp and were waiting. When Kagome spotted them she got to her feet.

"Inuyasha!" She called walking towards her boyfriend. She stopped when she saw who he was carrying. She placed her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side frowning.

"Inuyasha, why are you carrying him?" She asked eyes narrowed. Inuyasha looked at her uneasily. Sesshomaru glared at her and lay his head down on Inuyasha's shoulder and pointed his eyes in her direction.

"He's wounded Kagome." Inuyasha replied softly.

"Oh really? He doesn't look hurt to me." She said with a glare. Sesshomaru regarded the human with disgust.

"Well you're human eyes are rather primitive don't you think?" Sesshomaru drawled. Kagome's hands balled into fists.

"Inuyasha! Make him go away!" Kagome snapped offended by Sesshomaru's words. Inuyasha shifted his brother in his arms.

"Kagome I need to help him."

"You don't need to do anything." Kagome snapped. Inuyasha walked past her and set his brother down on a mat. Sesshomaru quietly thanked his brother who smiled at him.

"Don't worry about it." He murmured. Sesshomaru lay down and watched Inuyasha stand to go and calm Kagome down.

Kagome stood by the tree line tapping her foot arms crossed. Inuyasha walked towards her sheepishly.

"Listen Kagome I- AHH!" He hit the ground forcefully from Kagome's order. Kagome glared down at him tears in her dark eyes.

"I know you did with him Inuyasha! And…and you bring him here!" She shouted. Inuyasha slowly got out of the dirt.

"How…how'd you find out?"

"You talk in your sleep, it was pretty obvious."

"Oh…" Inuyasha looked at the ground while Kagome glared at him.

"How could you do this? Why is he here!"

"He's….Kagome he's pregnant." Kagome closed her mouth eyes going wide.

"H-How!"

"He has the ability to carry children."

"HE'S A MALE!"

"He's pregnant Kagome." Kagome closed her eyes and let out a breath.

"Okay…fine whatever…are you going to get back with him?"

"Of course not! I love you Kagome! You!"

"Is that why you had sex with him?" She snapped back. Inuyasha lowered his head.

"It was an honest mistake."

"Yeah because everyone has had sex with their sibling." Kagome snarled sarcastically. Inuyasha pulled her to him.

"I love you Kagome. Not him. You. What I did with him was an accident. I feel nothing for him." Kagome regarded him with large brown eyes.

"Then make sure he knows it."

"What?"

"Tell him you feel nothing for him at all." She demanded.

"Kagome…he knows already…"

"NO! I see the way he looks at you! I won't have it Inuyasha!"

"Kagome! Dammit! Just let it go!"

"I WON'T!" Inuyasha glared at her.

"I'm not going to hurt him like that!"

"Then don't talk to me!" Kagome replied walking away with a huff. Inuyasha stared after her and turned to Miroku and Sango who were sitting by the campfire eyes averted.

"You guys…"

"Inuyasha it's okay…Kagome will be fine." Sango assured the hanyou. Inuyasha sat down and glanced at his brother who appeared to have fallen asleep.

"I still love him you guys. I know that sounds sick but…" Sango shook her head.

"Love is love Inuyasha. Just don't hurt Kagome."

"But I love Kagome too." Inuyasha muttered. Sango closed her eyes and sighed and Miroku nodded absently.

"Well you can't have them both." Miroku sighed. Inuyasha looked away eyes lowered in distress and he slowly nodded his head.

"I know."

"You'll have to choose."

"And very soon."

"I will." Inuyasha replied looking towards his brother. Sango nodded and stood taking Miroku's hand in hers. The said their goodbyes before walking off out of sight leaving Inuyasha alone in his mind. He was so busy staring at the fire that it took him a moment to notice Sesshomaru standing by him looking at him quietly. Inuyasha looked at him and nodded towards the place behind him. Holding his swelling stomach Sesshomaru slowly and gingerly sat down next to his half brother.

"How are you feeling?" Inuyasha asked absently.

"Better." Sesshomaru replied quietly. Inuyasha looked at him and then at his stomach. Hesitantly he traced his fingers over it. Sesshomaru watched his every movement his honey eyes distant. Inuyasha slowly withdrew his hand and looked into Sesshomaru's eyes. They stared not breaking contact and Inuyasha leant forward and placed his forhead against Sesshomaru's.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. Sesshomaru blinked confused.

"For what?"

"I choose Kagome, Sesshomaru. It'll always be her." Inuyasha replied and got to his feet and walked away leaving his brother broken hearted.
