Kagome woke the next day, and looked at the clack by the bed, 12 noon. "Ah! I'm late!" She attempted to get out of bed, but was pulled back down. "Huh! Oh..." "You're not late, cause you're not going in today." the sleepy hanyou said in a still asleep voice. "Hm, k. So, what time did you get in last night?" "Late." "Well obviously, how late though?" "Two hours ago." "Ah, that's not late..." "It is when you spend nearly 12 hours on a crowded jet plane; are tired as hell and...hm," arms wrapped around the raven haired woman "You're dying to be with the woman you love." Kagome blushed "Hm...Inuyasha...if you're really so tired...then how come you're...ah..." "Cause...you woke me up." He said with a wink.

"Sesshomaru," "Hm? What is it monk?" "I think it'd be best if you made sure that Kagome was watched at all times." "Hm? Why?" "Well, during a class yesterday, she took some children down to Naraku's classroom; have no idea as to why, but long story short, he captured her again." "I see...that louse is really pressing his luck." "Indeed." "Hm, I sha;; make sure that the necessary precautions are taken. Thank you..." "One other thing..." "What is that?" "Kagome mentioned to me last evening, that Naraku told her that she is pregnant." "...I see." Sesshomaru looked up at Kagome's window "As I said, I shall make sure the girl is well supervised." Miroku nodded and was about to leave. "You're a loyal friend, monk." "Hm? How so?" "Not many lechers would be able to keep their hands off a woman for long, not when that woman is so close as Kagome was to you last evening." Miroku blushed "I can't say that my lecherous urges have not spurred, due to Kagome's presence, fore that would be a complete lie. However, I know that she is meant for Inuyasha and I am happy just being her friend...besides, I do have a fiance." "When has that even stopped you before?" "...I see your point, though if I were to even touch Kagome in such a way...I would feel not only Inuyasha's fierce glare, but his sharp points as well, digging into my flesh. That is something I would rather not have happen." "No doubt." Miroku left this time and Sesshoumaru again looked up at Kagome's window, then quickly turned away when he saw the woman step out onto it.

"Kagome?" there came no answer "Hey, you okay?" Inuyasha asked as he came to stand with her on the balcony "Mhm, I'm fine...Inuyasha, Naraku caught me again last night..." "That bastard! I'll..." "His heart..." "Hm?" "That's how he's stayed alive so long...he's hidden his human heart." "How...where?" "He told me...before he tried to hurt me again...that his human heart is within the boy...Akago." "Akago...huh, so once we find this kid and kill him..." "Naraku will ultimately be killed as well." Inuyasha wrapped his arms tightly around her "So, then we'll find this brat and kill him." "Inuyasha...I...I found out last night..." "Found out what?" "I'm pregnant." "...Hm, yes you are." "You know..." "I can smell the infant growing within." Kagome blushed "Can you tell if it's..." "It is mine." He felt her release a sigh of relief. "Are you sure?" "Mhm, I can smell my scent on the infant within your womb. The child is mine." Kagome turned and smiled "I'm glad. I was so worried that..." "That it was Naraku's right?" "Mhm...ah! That reminds me!" "Hm? Reminds you of what?" Kagome ran back inside the house and hurried to get dressed in a very professional looking suit. "Hey, where are you going?" "Court hearing." "...Court! What'd you do?" "I did nothing, I was too young and so the city took him from me." "Him?" Kagome sighed as she slipped into a pair of semi heeled shoes "My son." "...your son!" "Mhm...my son." "How old?" "Close to 3 now..." "3 years old..." "Mhm..." "It's been nearly 3 years since you left Kagome." She sighed and looked him in his golden eyes "I know." She said and grabbed her purse and headed out, Inuyasha right behind her.

"So was that the reason you didn't come back?" No answer "Kagome," the hanyou gripped her arm "Kagome, was your...you know the reason you didn't return?" "...No. He is not the reason, nor do I know the reason really, besides you taking the shards that is. However, he is the reason I've kept myself somewhat alive." "I don't follow," "I tried to kill myself..." "You what..." "I was heartbroken, abused and had no way to get back to you or the others, so I needed to try to get over the pain of everything, but I couldn't so I sliced my wrists and had blocked the door." Kagome said as she lightly traced the scars upon her wrists. "Mother found me and had me rushed to the hospital; apparently I didn't do it right and just made myself bleed, which was actually a nice way to ease the pain. Anyway, when I finally woke up, from the amount of blood that I'd lost, the doctor told me that I would have to stop being reckless and smarten up. When I asked why should I...he told me and showed me the test results. I found out I was pregnant that very day and when I finally got over the excitement of becoming a mother...I realized that the child was more then likely...Naraku's." "Hm...I guess that would be possible..." "I truly wanted them to take it from me early, then I remembered...our night together and I decided to carry him to full term. I did so and was prepared to keep him, but then, due to my suicide attempt...the city took him away from me." "I see..." "You can tell before birth if a child is yours...can you tell 3 years after?" "Mhm, the scent of both the parents never dies, unless the child does. I can still smell your father's scent mixed with your mother's upon you." Kagome blushed "Inuyasha...come with me...please." he nodded and within 5 minutes was dressed for court. "Lets go."

"Furthermore, this school is supposed to be your last chance at retribution Naraku. You are already on a thin line here, due to your past discretions, anymore of your foolishness and you will remain in this cell for eternity. Do I make myself clear?" Sesshomaru asked as Naraku glared at him "Crystal clear, lord Sesshomaru." "Good, now. For your punishment, you shall spend the rest of the entire day within this cell, so that you can learn that, I am not joking around. Nor would I ever joke around when it comes to you..." "Or when it comes to Kagome, right?" "I beg pardon?" "Oh, lord Sesshomaru, do not think that I know not of your hidden feelings for the young maiden." Sesshomaru gave Naraku the 'if looks could kill' look "Listen you worthless excuse for a person! You are trash; filth; nothing more then garbage that hell threw out! Now, do not get on my bad side more then you already have, do you hear..." "Oh, and by the way...did you enjoy your night with the girl? Before Inuyasha enjoyed his?" Sesshomaru's glare strengthened "What do you mean?" "Just what I said. You fucked her two nights before I raped her?" "..." "She always told Inuyasha that I had taken her virginity, but in truth it had been you who had taken such a gem." "Hm...do you really think that Inuyasha would believe you?" "I have no need to tell him, see Kagome is about to tell him herself, though she has no clue that she is about to do so." "Huh?" "Kagome currently fights the city court to win back custody of her son, due to a suicide attempt; tsk, children should never take their own lives. Anyway, Inuyasha seems to have gone with her." "!" 'You know right? Upon seeing the boy, Inuyasha will learn that he is not his. He'll also realize that the child is not mine as well and then...he'll think of his own appearance and he will realize who the child's father is." "Does Kagome know?" "I don't think so." "Ha! he'll be so furious!" "He will indeed." Sesshomaru sighed and quickly left the basement cellar. Naraku smirked "He'll know even more when you arrive to save the day Sesshomaru...oh...did I forget to tell you? Oh well, you'll soon learn my lord...never to threaten or cross me. Ever."
