She ran as fast as she could, her pants were loud and her heart was beating ever so fast. The cold rain fell down on her but she didn't care, she had to make it, Rin needed her and she promised them she would be there. Kagome was afraid, afraid she would not make it, afraid she might do something wrong, just afraid, but you know Kagome, she stands against fear and fights.
Right now she was fighting to make it. She had gotten word of Rin's labor in the middle of the night and Inuyasha had protest for her to wait in till morning to travel but she refused and bolted. She wondered if Sesshomaru had made it, of course he had he was perfect, knowing him, he probably smelt her going into labor days before, stupid demon nose.
Her hair was soaked, her clothing was soaked and her feet were freezing, but, she made it.
She ran to the small house and stopped dead in her tracks when Sesshomaru himself opened the door and walked out. Their eyes met and they both froze for a moment. Kagome blinked and the slightly bowed before running up to him, panting.
"Is Rin still in labor" She asked,
"Indeed" He said in a cool voice, damn him for being so calm.
Kagome didn't wait for him to say anything more, not like he would, and walked past him. Shippo jumped up,
"Kagome you made it"
"I told you I would didn't I" She said panting still,
Rin sat up on her elbows "Oh dear lady Kagome your all wet"
Kagome stood there dripping. Sesshomaru stepped back inside and closed the door, the rain was cold and it was very dark out, they had all the candles lit and it left a nice glow in the room. Shippo turned from his mother "Um, perhaps you would like to change"
Kagome looked down at herself, only to find that her white top was pretty much see though, oh the horror, "Um" Problem was she didn't have anything.
"Kagome you can wear something of mine"
It would not be a great fit, but dry was better the wet and see through.
"But Rin I might ruin it" It was true, there was going to be blood.
Rin shrugged "It's ok I don't mind"
But before she could reply she found a top in front of her, attached to a magenta stripe arm that went up to a demon male, a demon male named Sesshomaru.
"Uh?" Kagome said,
"Do not just stand there miko, change"
"But I-
"I have more do not waste my generosity woman"
Kagome slowly reached out and took his outer layer, unsure of what to say. Kagome quickly changed, it brought back memories of the time she had to wear Inuyasha's outer layer, just like then she tied this one up and as a dress, but this one was much longer, but she would have to be careful of how she sat or walked because there would be a rather large opening and it would run up her leg to her mid thigh.
Kagome brushed her hair, it was still wet and stringy but it started to curl a little. Kagome walked out and sighed, she was much warmer now. Once back in the main room she bowed "Arigato" she spoke to Sesshomaru, she had not seen him in years and of course he looked the same.
Rin cried out, which had Kagome by her side "Rin how far apart is the pain?" Kagome asked grabbing her hand,
"I duno" She cried out,
"Four minutes" Sesshomaru stated, once a long time ago Kagome had told them about minutes and how to count them, seems that came in handy.
"Mm close, Rin I am going to check you"
"Check me?" Rin asked confused,
"Yes, in my time doctors check to see how dilated you are"
They all looked at her odd "Just trust me I need to see if your ready to push"
Rin nodded, Kagome looked back "Could you guy's, uh, you know, turn around?"
She did not even bother to ask the to leave, in her time, men in the room was a welcomed thing.
The men did as she asked and Kagome checked Rin, telling her it might hurt, it did, Rin sucked in air.
"Rin your about 5 to 6, you need to be a 10"
By now Rin was crying, Kagome had left Shippo with a herb to help Rin's pain, telling him that if she went into labor before she reached then to give it to her and he had, but it was nothing like a needle in the back.
Rin cried out in pain for another hour, sweat on everyone, even thought it grew cold outside. Blood was all over the bed and floor and Kagome.
"Ok Rin, it's time"
"It hurts!" She cried,
"I know, I know it does" There was nothing she could do but deliver, she could not take all the pain away.
Shippo brought a chair to Kagome and she sat down, not minding her leg, Sesshomaru noticed she slip in his outer layer and it road all the way up her leg to her hip, he watched as she tensed, her calf going tight with every scream Rin made, he refused to look at Rin, it was not his place to watch the baby be born, plus the blood was driving him mad, so instead he focused on Kagome's breath and voice and his eyes watched her calf.
Soon the only thing he heard was her, he blocked everything else out.
"Soon Rin" Her voice was soft,
"One more time Rin" He could hear the smile,
Her calf grew tight showing off her tight little leg, "It's a girl" She said happy,
His eyes left her leg when he heard the scream of a new born baby.
Shippo quickly took the child and cleaned her like Kagome had told him and Kagome set to work getting Rin fixed up.
"Rin as soon as I stop your bleeding I am going to heal you some and then give you something to make you sleep ok"
"Hai" She said weak,
She was quick with her work and no one said anything, the baby's sweet coo's was the only thing any of them wanted to hear. Rin was ok, sleeping and ok and Kagome bowed and walked out of the house and out into the rain, leaving Shippo to spend one on one time with his new little girl.
Seshomaru also stepped outside and his eyes went to Kagome. She stood like a fool in the freezing rain, the blood washed from her body and without thinking she bended her leg, showing it fully to him and he found that he could not pull his eyes away. There she was in his clothing, wet, almost naked and covered in blood, it made his own blood heat, it then registered to him that it had been far to long since he had let his demon, his male pride, his blood lust, whatever one would call it, out.
"Rin's a mother" Kagome whispered not looking at him,
"Do you plan to say in the rain all night miko"
She looked at him "Gomennasai" She said "I have ruined your clothing" She said looking down,
"I was already ruined miko" He reminded her,
"Perhaps we should go back in" She stated and walked past him, he followed.
Kagome once again changed, she step back in the room to find Sesshomaru standing, with Rin's baby tucked in his arm. It was a odd site but she could not help but smile. Rin and Shippo where both out cold, tired she was sure, Sesshomaru must have taken the baby from them.
Kagome walked up to him and looked down at the tiny baby, she had dark hair and cute, cute ears. Kagome reached out and rubbed the baby's little ears which made the baby twitch them, Kagome smiled.
Rin peeked an eye open from her place of rest and a soft smile formed on her face. Sesshomaru was hold her baby and Kagome was touching it's ear, a smile on her face as she watched the baby, but what Rin was smiling about was the fact that Sesshomaru was not watching the baby, but Kagome.
