Chapter 8

When Annie finished checking me she looked up at me with a big smile on her face and said, "My Lady, I have some very good news."

"What?"

"You're pregnant!"

I looked at her with a shocked look on my face. Then that look of shock was replaced with a huge smile. I said, "I have to go tell Sesshoumaru!"

"Congratulations my lady."

"Thank you."

I got out of bed and ran over to the door, opened it and ran out. There I found Sesshoumaru pacing. He looked over at me with a questioning expression on his face. I smiled at him and said, "I'm pregnant."

He stared at me with a shocked expression on his face. That look was soon replaced by a look of joy. He walked over to me, picked me up and swung me around in the air. When he finally set me down he said, "That is great, Kagome!"

"I know, I am so excited!"

I couldn't help it; I embraced him in a huge bear hug. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me back. When we broke apart from each other I said, "Come on, we have to go tell everyone."

"Ok, love."

I took his hand in mine and ran down the stairs to the main hall with him right behind me. We went into the dinning hall where we found Rin, Shippo, Sango, Miroku and Grace. We went over and took our seats and the others looked at us.

"I have an awesome announcement to make!" I said.

"What?"

"I just found out that I am pregnant!"

"Congratulations you two!"

"Thanks guys."

Rin spoke up and said, "Does that mean that me and Shippo are going to have a baby sibling?"

"Yes, Rin."

"That is so awesome!"

"Yes it is."

Sesshoumaru then asked, "Shall we get something to eat?"

"Yeah."

He clapped his hands and the servants came out of the kitchen with our food. They came over to us and sat it down in front of us. They bowed to us and left and we all started to eat.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" I asked Sango as we finished our breakfast.

"Sure," she replied.

She handed little Grace over to Miroku and we both got up out of our seats and walked out of the dining hall. We headed for the garden. We were about to walk into the garden when I said, "Sango, why don't we take a walk outside the castle?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Ok, Kags, but lets get our weapons first."

"Ok."

So we walked back into the castle and into the weapons room.

Sango got her Hiraikotsu and I got my bow and arrows. We walked out of the weapons room and out of the castle where, to our surprise, we found Miroku and Sesshoumaru.

I saw the look on their faces when they caught sight of our wepons.

"Kagome, why do you and Sango have your weapons?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"We're going for a walk outside of the castle and we want to be safe," I answered.

"Ok, but don't wonder too far."

"We won't."

I leant up and kissed Sesshoumaru; Sango did the same to Miroku. We both pulled apart from them and walked over to the gates. We walked through them and into the nearby forest.

We continued walking for a while until I felt a very powerful aura heading our way.

"Sango, a very powerful aura is heading our way," I told her.

"Ok, Kags."

She untied her Hiraikotsu from her back and held it in front of her. I got my bow and an arrow, nocked it and aimed it in front of me. Soon a demon appeared in front of us. He looked over at me and said, "You, you're the miko that mated with Lord Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes, what's it to you?"

"I was ordered to kill you."

"Well, that's easier said than done."

"You're only a human miko!"

"I am a heck of a lot more powerful than you!"

I focused on his heart and let my arrow fly at him. It hit him, but to my surprise it didn't kill him. He stared at me, laughing. I looked over at Sango and she knew what the look I am giving her meant.

She then started to attack the demon while I used my hand and rubbed my mating mark. Sesshoumaru had told me one time that if I ever needed him, just to rub it and he would know.

When I quit, I grabbed another arrow, made it fly at him and we both continued fighting the demon. Nothing we would do would hurt the thing, but soon I felt Sesshoumaru's aura heading our way.

The demon sent a powerful attack our way and I put my hands up in front of us and made a barrier around us.

The attack hit the barrier and I had to work to keep the barrier from breaking. He laughed and said, "I guess you aren't as powerful as everyone says you are!"

I just looked at him. Sesshoumaru then popped out of the trees with Tokajin drawn. I let the barrier down and Sesshoumaru sent an attack at him.

To our surprise, that attack hurt him. Soon the two of them started to fight. Sango and I just stood on the sidelines and watched the fight. The demon was losing very fast to Sesshoumaru.

It started to back away from Sesshoumaru. Miasma then surrounded him and in a blink of an eye he is gone.

Sesshoumaru sheathed Tokajin and walked over to us. He asked, "Are either of you harmed?"

We both answered, "No."

"Good, why don't we all go back to the castle?"

"Ok."

So the 3 of us then started to walk back to the castle. We got there about 20 minutes later. We walked through the gates and found Rin and Shippo running around while Miroku is standing there holding Grace.

We walked over to them and he handed Grace to Sango. We all went and sat down under a sakura tree and started to talk. Before we knew it, it was already time for supper.
