Anyway I'm rambling on. I hope you all like this chapter. It is a little angst to begin with but it gets better c:

I don't own Inuyasha but I wish to the high heavens I did


Tears blurred Kagome's vision as she ran from the castle entrance to the gardens. She had to find somewhere that she could release her hurt and pain. She had done it again. She had fallen for someone that was out of her reach forever. Sure she learnt that the love she had for Inuyasha was only a crush and once she let go of it then their relationship had gotten stronger and she was able to bring back his true love. She would always love him but it was a sister brother love. Completely different to the love she felt towards Sesshomaru but even he was out of her reach.

"Oh Kami." Kagome collapsed to her knees by the fountain Sesshomaru had brought her to yesterday. The tears fell freely like drops of rain yet she made no effort to stop them. "Why?!" She wanted to scream to the Kami, curse them in any way she could but she couldn't bring herself to. She wanted to hate Sesshomaru for leading her on but once again she couldn't find it in her heart to hate.

"Kagome?" Sesshomaru startled Kagome out of her sad and depressing thoughts. "Koi..." He began making Kagome feel angry. Why was he calling her that when he already has a mate to be?

"Shouldn't you be calling Akari that?" Kagome winced at how hoarse her voice sounded. Even Sesshomaru winced at the sound. He looked her over once and felt his beast rise to the surface but he fought it and demanded its submission as he looked at the woman he wanted more than anything.

"No." Sesshomaru growled as he knelt down and gently touched her cheek, mindful of his sharp claws as he wiped away a few tears that had fallen. "You are the one I want Kagome. Akari means nothing to me."

"That's not what it looked like to me Sesshomaru. It doesn't matter anyway. I am destined to be alone. Always falling for someone I can't have." She sighed as she removed his hand from her cheek. "I will only stay here for Rin but please do not come near me unless it has to be so."

"Kagome please." Sesshomaru was so close to begging that he didn't care if anyone saw him.

"You have Akari. It is not fair on her for you to tag me along. Goodnight Sesshomaru." She said as she kissed his cheek and rose to her knees. Before she could walk away, Sesshomaru let out a small growl mixed in with a whimper as he pulled her body flush against his and crashed his lips on hers in a desperate attempt to show her how he felt about her. He was not about to lose her because of a stupid female that couldn't take the word 'no' seriously. Kagome let her emotions run wild for a moment as she responded to his kiss. She had to be strong for herself but also for Rin. She would deal with the heartbreak of seeing Sesshomaru with someone else one day at a time. She would not come between another couple.

Sesshomaru wanted to howl in pain when she pulled away from him. He took one look into her blue eyes and realized what she was about to do.

"No." He growled. "You will not leave me."

"Sesshomaru please." Kagome choked on a sob. "Please let me go. You have Akari."

"I will tell you again koi she means nothing to me." He pressed on the word koi for her but it did not have the effect he wanted. She flinched slightly as she stepped away from his embrace.

"I saw differently Sesshomaru." She said softly. "I will remain here but only for Rin." She added as she walked away. Every step she took, broke her already tattered heart even further. She reached inside and stopped when she heard a painful howl. She gasped as memories of the day she was sucked into the jewel flooded her mind. She remembered that howl clearly. "No. It is too late." She whispered as she went to her rooms not seeing Akari in the hallway smirking in victory. Seeing her bed before her, Kagome threw herself onto it and sobbed her heart out.

"I wish you were here daddy." Kagome sobbed into her pillow. She released all her pain and anger out. She didn't care if anyone could hear her. She knew the servants did and knew some of them would come and see her but she wasn't in the position to care.

"Oh my little sunshine." A male voice making Kagome bolt up and gasped loudly. Sitting on the side of the bed, giving her a smile as if he had never left her and her family, was her father. She let out a small sob as she hugged him with everything she had. "It's alright sweetheart. Let it out." Kai said softly. He couldn't help but smile as Kagome looked just like him. Right down to the dark hair and blue eyes. Many wondered where he and Kagome got their eye color from as no one in their family did but he learnt that it was his great grandmother on his mother's side of the family that had the blue eyes.

"Daddy. I have missed you so much." Kagome said in a quiet voice once she calmed down. Today was just not going her way.

"I have missed you too Kagome. How is your mother and brother?" He asked in the same quiet tone.

"Mama wishes you were with her every moment. She says Sota is just like you." She said softly.

"I know. I wish I was with you all." Kai said sadly. "Has your mother ever..."

"No. Grandpa wanted her to try and remarry but she refused. Not that I am complaining daddy but how are you here?" Kagome asked confused.

"You wished me here. The Kami have taken you under as their daughter Kagome. They will grant your every wish within reason." He said in a calm tone yet she could hear how serious he was.

"I understand. I have never been selfish anyway daddy." Kagome said as she hugged her knees when he sat beside her.

"Yes. Though I am confused why you are so strong headed against becoming Sesshomaru's mate. Though I do remember being a bit of a shy boy when it came to your mother." Kai chuckled to himself making Kagome go pale.

"I do not want to know about you and mama." Kagome said with a shudder. Kai chuckled again but then grew serious.

"Now tell me why." He said seriously. Kagome sighed and told him everything. Kai frowned and shook his head.

"Sesshomaru cannot mark Akari as his mate. You and he are destined for each other." Kai said shocking Kagome.

"Great! Can't I catch a break?" Kagome groaned as she buried her face into her knees. "Why can't someone for once just want me for me? Not for the power I have or power I could bring them?" She whispered sadly although outside the door, Sesshomaru heard every word.

"Don't you think that you are making a mountain out of a mole hill Kagome?" Kai said in a tone that made Kagome scowl.

"I can't imagine how or why mama misses you. You could drive someone up the wall!" She exclaimed.

"True but you are just like me." Kai winked. "Just hear Sesshomaru out. I am sure if you look carefully you will see how disgusted he is around Akari."

"You don't understand daddy. Akari can give him full blooded inu heirs. I would only give him inu hanyous." She said sadly.

"Maybe that's what he wants." Kai said shocking Kagome again. He was getting into the habit of doing this. "Besides Megumi wouldn't mind having hanyou grandpups. She does have a hanyou son remember."

"Because the Kami took away her yoki to save her." Kagome fired back making Kai chuckle as he kissed her forehead.

"You definitely take after me with your temper. No wonder Sesshomaru is captured by you." He laughed at the bright blush on his daughter's cheeks. He frowned when he felt the pull that meant he had to go back. "Kagome..."

"I know daddy. You have to leave now. I promise I will do what you said." Kagome said softly as she hugged her father with everything she had. It broke Kai's heart to leave his daughter but as the door opened he knew she would be in good hands. Kagome sobbed as Kai whispered he loved her and disappeared.

"Kagome." Sesshomaru whispered as he rushed to her side and held her as she released her pain of losing her father again.

"It's not fair." She whimpered.

"I agree." Sesshomaru said softly as he remembered the day his father died. Every time his father visited them became harder and harder. It took everything he had not to try and use Tenseiga.

"I'm sorry." She whispered after she calmed down. "I ruined your kimono."

"It does not matter. It can be fixed. Are you alright?" Sesshomaru asked making her look at him with wide eyes. "What is it?"

"Does Akari really mean nothing to you?" She asked in a small shy voice making him blink before nodding.

"I cannot stand her Kagome. Yes she could give me an heir that is pure but I do not want that. If having a hanyou pup with you is all that I am granted then I would rather have that than anything else." He said seriously shocking her. "I do not care for heirs or finding supreme power. I would give up the entire Western Lands if it meant being with you."

"Sesshomaru I..." Kagome whispered.

"Even becoming human?" A powerful voice boomed through the room making the pair jump slightly. "Would you give up the very thing that makes you a youkai and become the one thing you claim to despise?" The voice did not show itself but they could tell it was a male.

"Yes." Sesshomaru said without a second thought. "If Kagome would accept me, I would gladly do anything to make her happy. Even becoming human."

"Very well." The voice said with a grin in it. Sesshomaru looked at Kagome who was looking like a deer that had been caught in the headlights. He placed a soft kiss on her lips and stood up. "You have made your choice."

"I have." He said but before anything could happen a pink barrier formed around Sesshomaru shocking him but he missed the figure chuckling as he looked at Kagome.

"Are you crazy?!" Kagome wanted to scream, to hit him but she couldn't find it in herself to do so. "I don't want you to change to make me happy. I fell in love with you. If you ever turn into a human I will never speak to you again." Kagome growled the last part.

"Excellent. You have passed the test young guardian. Look after our daughter well, Western Lord. Your land will be blessed as well as your home." The voice said as it disappeared and so did the powerful aura that came with it.

"You were going to become a human for me?" Kagome asked after a few minutes of silence. Sesshomaru looked at her with serious golden eyes.

"I would do anything to make you happy Kagome." He said in a clear yet seductive tone that made her shiver slightly.

"Then make me your mate." She said softly shocking him. "Ha! You don't like oooph!" Kagome was swarmed by a rush of emotions as Sesshomaru claimed her lips with his in a desperate need. Kagome never said anything else apart from voicing her love for Sesshomaru so loudly that the entire castle heard it.

In the main room

Megumi grinned like the dog that got its bone. She knew her eldest had marked his miko as a howl ran through the entire castle.

"It seems I am going to become a grandmother again." She grinned making Inuyasha chuckle. She flicked his ear making him growl but she knew the threat was a joke. Kikyo giggled as she leant into her mate but frowned when she felt a swell of yoki rising up.

"It seems someone is not happy that Sesshomaru mated Kagome." Kikyo said as Akari burst into the room with blood red eyes.

"Your son has mated a human!" She cried in disgust.

"About time as well." Megumi said as she tapped her chin lightly. "I wonder if these grandpups will have their uncle's ears or youkai ones." She said in a thoughtful voice. "Oh maybe we will get a mixture. How exciting. I do love my daughter in laws though." She grinned making Kikyo smile brightly.

"You want hanyou grandpups?!" Akari hissed.

"Watch your tone with me Akari. My son may be the Western Lord and his mate the Western Lady but I am still powerful. You could find yourself in the netherworld within seconds. Leave now or I will kill you."

"Why ruin your perfectly clean claws mother when I could kill her?" Inuyasha grinned in a feral manner making Akari shiver as she left the castle.

"Let's hope they get piece and quiet for a while." Inuyasha said then he went green at a very loud snarl. "I think it's time we went home Kikyo."

"Now now Inu." Kikyo laughed.

"I do not want to hear Sesshomaru doing that with my best friend." Inuyasha shuddered making everyone laugh.

Later on that night

Sesshomaru awoke from his small sleep thinking it was all a dream when a shift under the covers brought his attention to life. He looked down at his side and smiled. His mate and love was sleeping soundly beside him with her arm over his stomach and she was buried into his side. He inhaled her scent deeply and caught a edge to it that he had not noticed before. He was glad that the scent of death that left her beautiful scent completely but wondered what the edge was until it dawned on him.

His mate was pregnant! Happiness like nothing else flowed through his being and heart. He sensed she was beginning to wake but couldn't wait to tell her.

Kagome groaned slightly as she woke up and blushed softly under his intense gaze. When she noticed something different in his eyes she was concerned.

"What is it love?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome my love." He smiled at her. "You are going to make me a father." He grinned as he ran a claw over her flat stomach that would soon grow heavy with the child that they created together.

"I'm pregnant?" She whispered in a shocked tone and he nodded. "And if it's a hanyou?" She asked softly making him chuckle. He placed a soft kiss on her lips making her whimper when he pulled away before it got interesting for them both.

"Then I would be just as happy. I am hoping our pup will look just like you." He smiled as he planted a soft kiss on her stomach making tears form in her eyes. "Kagome?"

"It's nothing. I'm just happy." Kagome smiled as he held her in his arms. "I love you Sesshomaru."

"And I love you Kagome." He said with a smile. His pack was growing by the day.

His Kagome was truly the fire that broke the ice around his heart.

And he wouldn't have had it any other way.
