Ch 6 Thinking Up Names.
"You might be," admitted the other, "there's no say for sure."
The following day Kagome had slept in. There was a group meeting between Inuyasha's group while Sesshomaru and Jakin waited outside with in eye sight of the porch. Ah-Un was eating an apple that had fallen from a near by tree and Rin had left to explore the village.
"Did you sleep well me lord?"
"More or less; better then I have been," the distant tone in his voice left the imp wondering but not questioning.
"So me lord, when are we leaving this group? It's displeasing to remain in a village and so unusual for us to do."
"It's good for Rin to be here."
"Well yes me lord, but wasn't that why we had the human girl with us for three days naught but a couple of weeks ago? Why stay here now, it defeats the purpose of ever keeping that girl around."
"Are you questioning my decision Jakin?"
"N-n-n-no me lord wouldn't dream of it!"
Inuyasha took a step outside and walked in silence toward the demon in question, "Hey Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru's silence was answer enough when he turned his attention to the half demon unwillingly.
"If Kagome has you're kid you do realize it will be a half demon, don't you?"
"I don't believe that is any concern of yours."
"What!" exclaimed Jakin looking to his lord, "you mean to say you mated with that wretched human girl?"
Again Sesshomaru remained silent and he closed his eyes with guilt, "leave us Jakin."
"Yes me lord," Jakin wondered off into the woods with his head hanging low. He felt he no longer knew his master.
"What will you do?" asked the younger of the two.
"I don't know."
The wind blew gently threw both their hair as silver locks swayed calmly in the breeze.
"Well we're heading to a larger village nearby here to see a doctor. Miroku said we wont know for a few days but it's still good to find out as soon as we can. But then Kagome said they have special tests in her time. She will know in three days," Inuyasha rubbed his forehead as if stressed for the first time, "I think you should stay with her while she is waiting for the results."
"You want me to stay?"
"Well yes and definitely no; but she's already trying to come up with names so since it's you're fault you will have to bear it same as us."
"Already thinking up names?" (So she wants to keep it.) Sesshomaru fought the urge to cringe at the thought of a half demon son or daughter.
Sesshomaru entered the inn and found Kagome looking out the window of the living room. There where few people present so he decided to take a seat across from her.
"Oh hi Sesshomaru," she smiled.
"Sleep well?"
"Like a baby," she gave a week smile.
"Do you intend to truly keep the infant? How do you plan to take care of it?"
Kagome had a distant look in her eyes. Something was on her mind that she didn't know how to share.
"Well I was thinking. There are many options on having this baby but … in truth I'm terrified. I can't just give it up. I really don't know what I'm going to do. If I have it in my time I might not be able to bring it back here but if I have it here there's a better chance of loosing either it's or my life because doctors don't have the right equipment to make it easy on my body, that and I would have to have it naturally. But then if I had it there how would I take care of it?" Kagome's eyes filled with fear for the baby she was trying to hold back a choke of tears because she didn't want lord Sesshomaru to see, "What would I do if he couldn't come back here to meet his daddy and how would I be able to buy it food? What's mother going to do when she finds out?" a tear escaped and Sesshomaru stood from the table, his eyes hidden behind his hair.
"I do not have these human feelings so I do not understand them well. But I can say I will do what I can … if it keeps you happy. Even if it means having," he paused as he realized Inuyasha standing in the door way listening to every word with wide eyes as thought he could not believe what his brother was saying, "a weak half breed," his words where forced and unsettling to both Kagome and Inuyasha as he silently stormed out of the inn. (I'm counting on the test to come back negative. What will become of me if my child is only half demon? What the hell has gotten into me, this Sesshomaru is not like before.)
Rin had been waiting outside with Jakin and Ah-Un she jumped when Sesshomaru came into view.
"We leave now Jakin," stated the demon bitterly.
