Authors Note: Yah, I STILL can only DREAM of owning Inu-Yasha
Aren't I smart? I'm writing another chapter for this wonderful fanficiton on a Sunday night at 8:30 when I have a poster, a unit of spelling, two pages of math, and I have to color a coloring book all for tommorow morning! Wow, I know how to prioritize! Anyways I still cry at night because I'm going through Internet withdrawal symptoms. I have millions of chapters to post, millions of fan fictions that I have been reading that have been updated, and I am left with the stone age usage of doing conversation over the, dare I say it, phone. I havn't been able to talk to my friend even, and her house like burnt down on New Years and I feel so BAD. Oh and on a lighter note, if you ever get to see Inu-Yasha in Japanese with subtitles, don't miss the opportunity. It's funnier and better… I love my first season box set!
05/12/2006: My b-day is tomorrow! Saturday May 13th! YAY! So basically Im updating ALL of my fanfics…Im thinking about finishing when worlds collide even. This is a gift to myself. Ive had two, making another Hot Gimmick MMV on youtube and now to update all my stories! Ill basically be pasting the same crap on every fics editors note so if you read it once you don't have to read it again. Oh yes, I will no longer be answering reviews in the story. I will be answering them directly once I get them cause Im not supposed to put them here. So this is the last time! Thanks!

Inuyashalover: Everything will make sense soon. Kagome can't remember too fast, then where would the story go? But he's strict because he loves her so much he tries to distance himself so she'll remember faster. Plus, he's still sesshy-san!

Chapter 4: Believe in the Creation
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"I can't believe that girl, how can she hate being his mate?" A girl with long blue hair whined, watching from a door that led into the dinning room.
"What do you mean Akoh-Chan?" Kyoko said silently, making sure she wasn't heard.
"Well that girl seems to hate Lord Sesshomaru. Kami knows I'd give my life to him. I mean she is so undeserving of the best and most wonderful Taiyoukai in all the lands. I don't even see why he chose her as his mate." Akoh said shaking her head in pity for Sesshomaru.
"You do know she is rumored as the smartest, strongest, most beautiful female demon in the land right?" Kyoko argued.
"Yah right, I doubt it. Not only does she look weak and stupid, she couldn't hold a candle to me when it comes to beauty." Akoh snapped back.
"Do you want to keep your job here? This is your first day and it is closely becoming your last. I think it'd be best if you make sure you watch your mouth around Sesshomaru-Sama and Kagome-Sama. Understood? Now it's time to get the plates. I'd suggest that you pick up the children's plates only." Kyoko warned. Akoh just rolled her icy blue eyes.
"Whatever."

"Kagome-Sama! I took care of Suzu while you were gone! You can have her back after supper! Sesshomaru-Sama said that you'd probably want her back. And also, Sesshomaru-Sama said that you could continue being my warden for now. Isn't that great?" Rin chattered away happily as she finished her meal. Shippou joined in.
"Yah, we taught Suzu some great tricks and we can show them to you!" Shippou chimed.
"Oh, I remember Suzu now. I got her from that girl and she looks like Kirara right?" Kagome said almost certain. She felt proud of herself for remembering. Why she got Suzu from the girl was another story but Kagome didn't feel like getting a headache trying to remember something she didn't need to know. Rin and Shippou smiled huge smiles and gave each other high fives while Sesshomaru slowly looked up from Jaken to Kagome.
"Is that all you remember?" He asked, trying to keep his eagerness out of his voice.
"Yeah, was I supposed to remember something else?" Kagome asked sounding worried.
"No, just making sure you're not hallucinating." Sesshomaru said quietly. Kagome made a sour face and wore a sarcastic smile. "By the way. After you put Rin-Chan and Shippou-Chan to bed I would like to talk to you in my study. I'm sure you will find the way." Kagome was about to complain but Sesshomaru got up and left as Kyoko took his plate away. Kyoko grinned at her. Another girl who looked about the same age as Kyoko sheepishly grabbed Rin and Shippou's plates.
Kagome got up from the table and helped the children out of their chairs and once more was dragged down the halls except this time by Rin and Shippou. It turned out Shippou's room was right beside Rin's. On the other side of Rin's room lay a now empty room. The kids merrily went about showing Kagome how they had taught Suzu to come and do other tricks. Unfortunately one of the tricks was getting Suzu to transform 'Magically'. Of course this trick was practiced outside and it was not intended so that Suzu could break Rin's desk when she magically landed on the desk in her transformed state. All three of them cringed as they first heard a crack and then watched the small defenseless desk fall under the weight. In the end they were all giggling as Kagome promised to make Sesshomaru to get Rin a new table. Finally Kagome decided it was time for the small ones to get to bed. First Kagome tucked Rin in and then went to Shippou's room where she did the same. Once Kagome was done she amazingly found the study with ease, at least she was sure she had.
"But, I've never been here before… yet I recognize this door as the study. Maybe I'll knock. If it's the wrong door no problem I'll just apologize and go back to looking." Kagome knocked and was surprised when the girl from dinner answered. "Then again, knowing my luck…"
"What do you want?" The girl asked grouchily with eyes narrowed.
"Sorry I was looking for the study, just ignore me." Kagome said, blushing because she had been so stupid.
"Don't worry, I try." The girl growled sarcastically before she slammed the door in Kagome's face. Kagome gapped.
"What does she mean by that? Well I wonder what she has stuck up her butt?" Kagome groaned as she walked away. She must have been in the servant's corridors. Her prediction was only proven true when she saw Kyoko coming to her.
""Kagome-Chan? What are you doing in the servant's quarters? Oh, you must be looking for the study. It's down the opposite hall. I think Sesshomaru thinks that just because you have remembered Suzu he can shove you back into life here. I'll be in your room shortly to start the fire so you'll stay warm during the night. I just came by to have a talk with Akoh." Kyoko said cheerfully.
"That girl? She has a serious attitude problem." Kagome groaned.
"You spoke to her? I wouldn't suggest that. She's not really a happy demon. She's been my friend for a while so I'm used to it. She started working here today because she needed a job. But you should get going to the study." Kyoko said, scooting Kagome down the corridor.
"Yah ok." Kagome murmured as she started to walk down the hall that Kyoko had told her to. Almost instantly Kagome remembered the hallway and began to run blissfully down the hall to a nice heavy-looking door. "I'm sure of it this time. This is the study." Kagome knocked on the door and a familiar voice greeted her. She smiled with pride that she had chosen the right room.
"Come in." The voice said tediously. Kagome obeyed and walked in. Sesshomaru was sitting behind a large desk. He looked up from his papers and leaned back. "You may sit."
"So what is it that you want Sesshomaru…Sama?" Kagome added nervously.
"Kagome-San, I am sure that your friend informed you that when I marked you I had taken you to bed with me. Did she?" Sesshomaru asked silently, not trying to get Kagome going.
"Uh, hai." Kagome said frowning, not really wanting to know where the conversation was going.
"Well, it seems that your scent has changed just slightly and in a few days I will only be able to prove it further."
"Prove what?" Kagome choked.
"You are with child." Sesshomaru said tamely. Kagome gaped and jumped up from the chair shaking her fist at Sesshomaru.
"You are kidding aren't you?" Kagome shrieked silently.
"Sit down. If I am right and you are with child these fits may affect the child." Sesshomaru said without a change in facial expression.
"And so, how long do you suppose I have been with child so far?" Kagome asked wearily as she obediently sat down.
"Since I have only noticed it really today, I would say two a week. Considering that is also the time that we did mate. The change in your scent is only slight so it isn't for certain but in a few days it will be prominent wither or not you are expecting. Of course since you have not been a demon long you wouldn't know that if you are to bare a child, it will be in four and a half months. Demons grow faster then humans. At one year, considering the child will be a neko and inu demon, the child would be the average age of 11 years in human years. After three years the child will discontinue the accelerated growth and will start to age slowly. Do you understand all of this?" Sesshomaru asked as Kagome stared wide-eyed at him.
"Ok, so I'm pregnant, with your child, it's coming in four months and it's going to be six years younger then me in three years? Yah I think I got it." Kagome finally said as she fainted.
Sesshomaru who was expecting the same outcome walked over to her and picked her up bridal style and walked her to her room where he laid her on her bed. He leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips before getting up to leave. As he opened the door to her room once more Kagome's eyes slowly fluttered open. Sesshomaru stopped and stood in the doorway, as he smelt tears. He slowly hung his head. He finally lifted it and walked over to Kagome, angry and sad that Kagome was so distressed and that he could do nothing but sit and watch. As he walked over to her Kagome sniffled. Sesshomaru sat beside her on the bed.
"Kagome, don't cry." He whispered softly as he wiped away some tears with his thumb.
"Give me a reason not to. I got turned into a demon. I have to live with someone I hardly know for the rest of my life. I don't even know if I love the same person anymore. And I'm pregnant with the guy I hardly knows baby. I can't see my family or go back to my other life because I look like I just fell out of a lab, and I can't continue my other life, searching for jewel shards, because I'm pregnant and mated to that guy. Did I mention that the guy could care less if I'm dead or alive, and has the option of walking out on me and can leave me for some other whore so he can jut put me in some forgotten place in the castle… and leave me to die?"
"That was a mouthful…" Sesshomaru joked as he gently moved his right hand to Kagome's arm and caressed it softly. "Being a demon isn't bad. And I'm sure we can get to know each other after a while if you're going to be my mate for eternity. And having a child can only bring you and I closer. I promise I will never leave you or put you some place so that I can forget you. As your mate, you have to trust that I will always be there for you and our child."
"Promise?" Kagome asked as she forced a small smile. The tears had stopped and she was staring hopefully up at Sesshomaru.
"I promise." Sesshomaru finished as he leaned forward and kissed Kagome lightly on the lips.

Kyoko was nearly in tears as she watched from the door. She had come to light the fire in Kagome's room but stopped when she heard voices inside. She now knew that Kagome was with child and that Sesshomaru was trying his best to get Kagome's memory back. Once Sesshomaru pulled away he slowly got up and stared at Kagome. Kyoko took this as her queue to act like she hadn't heard anything and to go back and come down the hall again.

"Trust me." Sesshomaru said almost in a whisper.
"I promise." Kagome said tenderly. Sesshomaru turned around and left. Sesshomaru headed back to his study to finish up his work and go to bed. On the way he noticed Kyoko walking down the hall towards him.
"What is it Kyoko-Chan?" He asked tranquilly.
"I have to go help Kagome get ready for bed and start the fire in her room. I'm guessing that since you're not in your study she is in her room ready for me my Lord?" Kyoko cooed innocently.
"Hai." Sesshomaru answered solemnly.
"Ok, and I will be doing the fire in your room as well am I not my Lord?" Kyoko asked.
"Hai."
"Oyasumi Sesshomaru-Sama!" Kyoko called after Sesshomaru as he left down the hall. Until he was out of sight Kyoko stood still. Finally when he was totally gone she let out a big breath of air. "Oh boy that was close. I wonder if he knew I was there? No, I doubt it. He seems so upset though, that Kagome still hasn't remembered even though she has been throughout the whole castle all day. I just hope he doesn't get discouraged."

Authors Note:
Omg, I actually cried when Sesshomaru was telling Kagome that she has to trust him and whatever. I never cry. Like I cried those two episodes when Inu-Yasha decides to choose to protect Kikyou only and then they both think they should never see each other again. Yah that episode, I couldn't stop crying even after I watched it five times in a row. I only cried at that the ending of big fish, surprisingly a good movie, and that song about the boy wanting to buy his mom some Christmas shoes… you know the Christmas song that goes: "Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my mama please. Could you hurry please? Daddy says theres not much time. She's been sick for quiet a while, and I know these shoes will make her smile. She's been sick for quite a while, and I know they'll make her smile. And I want her to look beautiful… if mama meets Jesus tonight." Or something like that, I mean as soon as I hear the mama meets Jesus I lost it. So three things make me cry so I hope this chapter touched you as much as it did me. Oh and by the way, don't think because they kissed everything is better… Kagome isn't that bright. No offence.

Quotes of the Chapter
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"No, just making sure you're not hallucinating." (Who knew Sesshomaru could have a sense of humor? But he's just trying to get her from wondering more and learning too fast. I love sarcasm and humor!)
"What does she mean by that? Well I wonder what she has stuck up her butt?" (Do I hear the jingle of prayer beads in the future for Akoh?)
"The voice said tediously." (Ha ha ha, tedious, sorry insider but I love this word!)
"You are with child." Sesshomaru said tamely. (Don't you just love how calm he can be? The woman he loves is going to probably have his strong heir and he can just say 'You're pregnant' without a hint of emotion.)
"Since I have only noticed it really today, I would say two days." (Ok, I know I have a lot of favs but this was a great chapter was it not? Ok, I needed this to come up because we all know that Doukan raped Kagome, those of you who didn't bother reading "Mending the Broken Hearted" there you go, she was raped. Anyways, it's not Doukan's child because if it was she'd be at least 9 days pregnant.)
"Did I mention that the guy could care less if I'm dead or alive, and has the option of walking out on me and can leave me for some other whore so he can jut put in some forgotten place in the castle… and leave me to die?" (Way to think positive Kagome… and she said this in one breath? Super Kagome!)
"Being a demon isn't bad. And I'm sure we can get to know each other after a while if you're going to be my mate for eternity. And having a child can only bring you and I closer. I promise I will never leave you or put you some place so that I can forget you. As your mate, you have to trust that I will always be there for you and our child." (Wow, meet random emotional, and cheesy Sesshomaru. Make him appear by making Kagome cry. But seriously my tears fell as he said 't 'I'll always be there for you and our child' I mean… aw! I know you may look at it and think it's stupid but I wrote it and cried.)
"Hai." Sesshomaru answered solemnly." (A man of many words.)
