AN okay everyone reading this... we need to review more. Thank you to everybody who did but i hope I'm not writing this for only 10 people. It's a bit discouraging because I am working hard on this. So please review more.

The next morning Kagome woke up in Sesshomaru's arms. She felt amazing, and so did her body. After confessing how she felt, Sesshomaru spent the rest of the night showing her how he felt. She sighed happily and looked over to him. He would have to be waking up in about 10 minutes so she decided to get started herself early.

Gracefully, without Sesshomaru noticing, Kagome got out of his hold and off the bed. She put on the clothes she was wearing last night so she would not be walking around naked. Then she picked out his clothes for the day and gathered all his papers and such together. When she was finished, she sat down on the bed next to him and just watched him sleep. 'He sure is handsome,' she thought to herself giggling, which got him to stir.

After a few moments, he slowly awoke. He looked at her for a moment and the night before registered in his mind as he gave her a sexy smirk and looked her up and down before saying, "Good morning."

"Morning; I got everything ready for you today. I just wanted to let you know." she said getting up.

"Thank you." he said and went to stand up. He walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Have a good day." he said.

"Thanks, you two." she said as she blushed due to his state of undress. Then she left to get ready for her day. She decided that it would be nice to do some reading. It had been awhile since she last picked up a book.

A few hours passed by and she got bored so she went to find something else to do for the day. She thought of all the things she could do and made a mental list of what she would and in what order. First stop: the pool.

Sesshomaru got home from work the same time as usual. Instead of going to spend time with Kagome though, he went up to the family room. Inuyasha was in there playing with the dartboard. Sesshomaru went over and joined him.

"Let's talk," Sesshomaru said as he threw a dart.

"What's up?"

"Kagome told me that she loved me last night." Sesshomaru said.

"Okay." Inuyasha already knew this, "What about it?"

"I told her I loved her back," Sesshomaru answered.

"And your point is…"

Bullseye. "I was lying." He said as he went to gather the darts off the board. Inuyasha gave him a look. "What?" Sesshomaru started to get irritated.

"Dude you just screwed yourself over. Why did you lie? I mean you could have just told her you didn't. Although you sure fooled everyone else, even Dad thought that you liked her."

"I didn't know what to say, I was caught up in the moment." Sesshomaru sighed, "I do like her, hell, and I'll admit that I like her a lot. I just don't love her, not yet. However, the way she looked at me, I just couldn't control it. I don't want her to know I lied to her though." Sesshomaru chuckled a bit, "Plus, I like the sex." he said.

Inuyasha made a disgusted face at his brother, but he understood that Kagome was a girl. And it's easier to have sex when the girl likes you. If Sesshomaru told Kagome that he didn't feel the same way, then he's fucked, or technically not fucked. Inuyasha could see his dilemma.

"Well, just act like you guys never talked about it then."

"Inuyasha that is a stupid idea." Sesshomaru gave him a fierce look. His little brother rolled his eyes and continued with his point.

"If she asks about it again just tell her that you're not really sure how you feel. But until then, just pretend it never happened."

"I guess that could work." Sesshomaru gave his brother a smirk, "You're not as dumb as you look."

"Thank you-," he paused, "hey wait a minute! Sesshomaru!" The door closed as Sesshomaru left the room, cutting off Inuyasha before his tirade.

Sesshomaru went to the bathroom before dinner. As usual, Kagome was in the seat next to his, he noticed, as he walked into the dining room. She looked at him and smiled. He only nodded in return, causing her to make a confused face before turning back to the table. Sesshomaru took his seat.

Usually his father and brother did not show up for the meal, but tonight Toga walked in soon after. He took his seat at the head of the table, and people brought out the food. The three made small talk throughout the meal with Kagome stealing glances at Sesshomaru occasionally. When they all got up together to leave, Toga gave Sesshomaru a knowing look. Sesshomaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he walked out with Kagome following behind him. They went up to his room and sat down to do some paper work.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome paused in her efforts, "Is something wrong?" she asked.

Sesshomaru didn't say anything; he just shook his head and continued to work. Kagome stayed silent the rest of the time. When he was finally finished, he handed her the last stack of papers. While she gathered everything up to put on the desk neatly, he undressed and got into a pair of pajama pants. Then he went over to the bed and lay down. Kagome sure looked sexy today. She was wearing a dark blue pencil skirt and a transparent loose fitted blouse with a white tank top underneath that had a small floral design all around.

"Kagome," he said. She turned around and looked at him. He continued, "Come here." She walked over to the bed and sat down. Sesshomaru slinked his arm around her waist, "Did I get to tell you that you looked ravishing today?" he pulled her over to him.

Kagome blushed, "No, you didn't. Thank you." she giggled.

"Well then Kagome, now you know." he said as he played with the top of her skirt, inching it down.

"Sesshomaru," she blushed playfully pushing his hands off her.

He ignored her and continued his ministrations of touching her. Kagome knew she was getting hot for him already. Who wouldn't? But she had done this with him last night, and she was still a bit sore. But how could she protest? She was in love with him and just last night he admitted that he loved her back. Kagome's thoughts made her smile, 'Oh well. It's not like I can say I don't enjoy what he does to me.'

With that in mind, she ran her hands on his smooth body. They started to make out. At first battling with their tongues until Kagome gave in. Somehow, in the midst of that, Kagome ended up underneath Sesshomaru and he was slowly maneuvering her top off of her. When he got it off of her he unbuckled her bra and his mouth went straight to her perked nipples. He sucked on one while his hand was on the other massaging it. Then he switched sides and did the same. He kissed down her stomach and as he neared her skirt, pulling it down. Kagome was wearing a blue thong and Sesshomaru had no problem removing it. He spread her legs and his mouth went to the part of cloth right underneath her womanhood. His teeth latched on and he slowly pulled it down. Once it got to her knees he grabbed it with his hands and finished taking it off.

He pulled off his pants as well sliding his body up to Kagome's so that just the tip of his member met her wet opening. Slowly and sensually he let the tip rub up and down her folds, causing her to moan out and push her hips upward. Sesshomaru smirked it this. Then he slowly pushed himself into her. She gasped at the feeling. He couldn't help but gasp a bit too. She was so tight. Then when just his head was in, he roughly pushed the rest of himself in. She moaned loudly and he exited. Only to slam back in so she could moan again.

This time when he was in he grabbed her hips and pulled her onto him. Then he flipped them both over so that she was sitting on top. Their eyes locked and Sesshomaru ground his hips upward a bit, pushing himself even deeper into her. Her eyes rolled back in ecstasy. He took hold of her hips and moved her back and forth on his dick. When she started to get the rhythm he let go and leaned up on his elbows so he was almost sitting up. The position he was in was the perfect angle and Kagome couldn't help but lose it fast.

Sesshomaru loved it when she came. She got so much wetter and he could feel her tightening on his already compressed shaft. When she stopped trembling on him, he turned her around on him and then pushed her forward onto all fours. Then he went rough on her. She wanted to scream because it felt so good. Sesshomaru kept his hands at her hips so that when he slammed in, he would pull her towards him as well. After a while he felt it building up inside him. She did as well because she had another orgasm. The closeness he was to his and the fact that she was having one sent Sesshomaru over the edge himself. He could feel her body just sucking him in and he busted inside her with one last powerful thrust. He just held her in place for a few moments before he collected himself and withdrew from her watching as more juices traveled down her thighs.

Kagome let her body collapse onto the bed as she recovered from her trip to cloud nine. Sesshomaru went over to lie beside her. She had her back to his chest and craned her neck around to give him one last kiss before sleep overtook her.

"I love you," she whispered; her head not facing him anymore.

Sesshomaru didn't respond.

Kagome just assumed he had already fallen asleep.

It was like that for over a month, and Kagome began to get suspicious. Sesshomaru was not like before. They used to talk; or rather, he used to listen to her talk. Now he hardly paid any attention to her.

That is until nighttime, when he somehow always got her to go to bed with him. The only times she didn't was when she was on her period. And it didn't even last for more than a couple days. "I'm beginning to feel like a whore." she scolded herself when she was sitting in the tub one day. Sesshomaru had not once said that he loved her either; at least on his own. The only way he would ever say it was when she said it first, she noted to herself. "I wonder why?"

She got out of the tub and dried off. She wrapped her body in the towel and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled when she saw that her breasts looked bigger, "Yes!" she cheered, "19 years old and still growing." she said to no one in particular. Since she was almost at the end of the puberty stage she knew that whatever didn't change now was gonna stay that way for a long time. She put her hair in a messy bun and proceeded to pluck her eyebrows. When she finished one, she decided to let some of the pain subside and get dressed before finishing. She put on a black tank top and some skinny jeans. "Now back to the torture." she joked to her reflection.

When she walked out of the bathroom, Inuyasha walked by and grabbed her before she could open her mouth to say hi.

"Kagome, what happened?" he asked wide eyed, and concerned.

"What are you talking about?" she was confused. Inuyasha looked at her for a moment.

"You weren't crying?" he asked.

"Uh, no?" she said even more confused than before. She was actually in a pretty good mood for the most part.

"But why are your eyes all red? And a little swollen at the top? And your eyes are glossy." he said.

Kagome just looked at him blankly. Then it hit her and she started to laugh. "Hahaha, oh Inuyasha you sure are something," she told him, "I was plucking my eyebrows a minute ago, that's it." she waved her hand in the air.

He blushed and looked away, "Humph. Whatever, I knew that." he said as he let her arms out of his death grip. She just laughed even more. Finally, Inuyasha cracked a smile of his own. "Well next time don't be walkin' around looking like you were crying." he scolded her, and started walking off.

Kagome just rolled her eyes. Then she went for some breakfast. On the way through the house, she saw Kaede, and stopped to say.

"Hello Kaede."

"Hello, Kagome. How are you?" the woman asked. Kaede wasn't too bad a person to Kagome. She put a lot into her job; maybe too much, but if you got past that, she was a really nice woman.

"I'm okay, how about you?" Kagome asked politely.

"I'm as good as a woman my age can get." Kaede joked.

The two made some small talk about nothing really for a bit. Then Kaede had to go somewhere. Kagome just spent the day lounging around.

Sesshomaru got home that night and was in a really pissed of mood. People at the office were just driving him to insanity. The first place he went to was his room. He needed to take a nice relaxing soak in the tub. After a half hour passed, Sesshomaru felt a bit better. He went to the dining hall to see everyone there.

"Good Evening Kagome," he said to her as he sat down. Kagome looked up from her plate and smiled at him.

"Hey."

"So Sesshomaru," Toga spoke, "Did you know what was coming up this month?" he smiled.

"No," he answered, "What is it father?"

Toga glanced at Kagome; "Kagome, isn't something special happening in a few weeks?" he smiled at her. Kagome perked up instantly and gave an award-winning smile.

"My birthday," she whispered, "How did you know?" she asked him.

"I know everything," he joked. Truth be told, Naraku had given Toga her ID after the purchase.

"Wow Kagome," Inuyasha said, "So what do you want?"

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"What do you want for your present? Stupid." he said. Toga gave Inuyasha a sharp glance.

"Nothing" she said. Inuyasha was her friend and she didn't want anything from him. His friendship was all she needed.

"I guess we will have to celebrate," Sesshomaru said taking her hand in his. She smiled at him, blushing.

When dinner was complete Sesshomaru and Kagome walked back to his room together. She was just itching to know what his definition of celebrating was.

"So what did you mean about celebrating for my birthday?" she asked him curiously.

"I'm not completely sure. We will go out probably." he answered. Kagome nodded in comprehension. When they got to his room, he held the door open for her.

"Thank you," she said in a flirtatious way. Sesshomaru just looked her up and down, smiling as she walked in. They sat down and did a bit of paper work but finished relatively fast. Then Sesshomaru talked Kagome into giving him a back massage. While she was at it, she decided that she had to finally talk to him about how she's been feeling lately.

"Sesshomaru?" she said getting his attention.

"Hmm?" he mumbled.

"…" she paused for a moment, unsure of what to say, "Do you love me?" she asked.

"Mhm," he answered back hoping not to get much further into this conversation.

"Why?"

Sesshomaru sighed, "I don't know, Kagome, I just do."

She stopped rubbing his back, "To be honest, I'm not even sure if I believe you anymore. You never act like you love me. Actually, you act like it less and less as time wears on." she complained.

Sesshomaru sat up and turned to face her. She looked pretty upset. He could understand why. "Kagome," he explained, "…" pausing, "I'm sorry." he said looking her in the eyes, hoping she would understand what he meant.

Sadly for him though, she did not, according to her blank face.

Sesshomaru sighed and decided to elaborate some more, "I care about you a lot more than I have for anyone. I think you are the loveliest girl I have ever met. But I don't love you Kagome. I give you my sincerest apologies. I am sorry that I lied to you." he finished.

That was the most he had spoke to her in a long time. She couldn't believe it though. When she was telling him that she was in love, she was still falling. His false confession led her to believe that she did love him. She felt so stupid. All men were the same. Rich or poor, in America or in Japan. She should have been more rational.

The whole Cinderella feeling from the huge party is probably where she went wrong. It wasn't her life, it was his. And she was just filling in for whoever he didn't want in it. Who was she kidding though? It was her job. Doing things to make his life easier was the whole reason that she was even brought here.

Sesshomaru felt bad for her. She wasn't even looking at him. She just stared at her hands in her lap. He had been watching her for a few minutes already and she hadn't moved much either. "Kagome," he started, but she didn't give him a chance to finish.

"Well I'm done with your massage now Mr. Taisho. If it is alright with you, may I leave?" she asked him without looking up.

Sesshomaru started to get mad. "Yes," he said in a colder tone than necessary, and she left the room. What the hell was her problem? Would she rather have had him tell her the truth in the beginning and hurt her? Well no. That was actually the better idea. Sesshomaru never should have even started to like her. If he didn't, he wouldn't have ever gotten in this mess.

It was all her fault. He blamed her for this because maybe if she wasn't so beautiful, he wouldn't have noticed her. He blamed her because maybe if she wasn't so nice to him and tried to do what was best for him, he wouldn't have paid attention to her. He blamed her for having such smooth skin, because if she didn't, then maybe he wouldn't have needed to touch it. He blamed her for having eyes that were bluer and deeper than the oceans, because if they were different, he might not have wanted to drown in them so willingly. It was her fault for having a smile that outshone the sun, because if that were not true, then he wouldn't have done almost anything to see it. 'This is all her fault,' he told himself. He shouldn't feel the least bit guilty. Kagome put it on herself.

In his angered state he realized that he couldn't fall asleep that night. So he went to the training room to try to burn some of his energy.

As soon as Kagome left Sesshomaru's room, she ran straight to hers. She couldn't believe him. 'How could he?' she asked herself so many times that night. She eventually cried herself to sleep.

The next few weeks had been tense. Kagome and Sesshomaru would barely talk. In the morning, Kagome would get up and get Sesshomaru's things ready for him while he was in the shower. Then, when it was dinnertime, Kagome ate with the rest of the staff. Sesshomaru ate with his brother and father.

Nobody would speak about what happened between Sesshomaru and Kagome though. When Sesshomaru was done eating, he would go upstairs to his room. Kagome was usually waiting for him there. She wouldn't look him in the face and just sat there and did the work he assigned her. When she was done, she would just ask to leave. Usually Sesshomaru would just nod his head. She would notice the movement and go without a word uttered. Whenever Kagome had free time in her day it was usually spent in her room sulking. Every once in a while she would spend some time with Inuyasha but he was always in and out of the city. And it wasn't as much fun when Kagome constantly felt miserable. She also felt bad about bothering him with her troubles.

Finally it was her birthday. Kagome was 20 years old. She woke up that morning extra early, and forced a smile on her face. "Happy birthday," she said to herself out loud. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Before she had gone to bed she had used the bathroom and although she hadn't drank anything since, she felt like she was about to explode. Actually, she had to go a lot more lately. 'I hope I'm not getting a urinary tract infection' she thought to herself.

When she was done in the bathroom she left for Inuyasha's room. When she entered he was still asleep so she went over to his bed and picked up the phone off of the night stand. Then she leaned over to his ear, "Inuyasha, can I use your phone?"

He only grumbled and turned over.

Kagome smiled, "Okay thanks," she said and she walked into his private bathroom. She dialed the number to her home. It rang a few times.

"Hello?" it was Sota.

"Do you remember what today is?" she asked.

"Kagome!" he yelled into the phone, "Happy birthday, Sis." he said automatically knowing.

"Hey Sota." she said in a relaxed tone. "How are you?"

"I'm good. I miss you a little." he said laughing.

"Well I miss you even less" she joked back, "Let me talk to mom"

"Okay hold on," she heard him yell, "Mom!…Phone!…No its Kagome…okay Kagome here she comes. I love you."

"Love you too," she got out before her mom took the phone.

"Kagome, happy birthday love." he mother said happily, "I'm so glad you called."

"Thanks mom. I miss you guys so much." Kagome said.

"And we do as well. So how are you and Sesshomaru? Any more updates about the wedding?" her mother asked.

"…" Kagome totally forgot about that little fib from before, "We're great," she lied, "Uhhmm, we haven't put too much thought into the wedding as of yet, Mom. Sesshomaru has been so busy lately. You know with work…" she paused trying to think of another excuse, "and uh, work." Great excuse.

"Oh, well that's a shame. I would like to know as soon as possible then." her mother said.

"Of course, Mom," Kagome smiled into the phone. The two chatted for just a few minutes longer and then got off the phone. Kagome walked out of the bathroom a put Inuyasha's phone back on the charger and on the nightstand.

Kagome left his room. She went to take a shower and get ready for the day. On the way to her room Miroku stopped her.

"Hey Kagome!" he called over. She turned around and upon seeing him, she stopped.

"Hey Miroku, what's up?" she asked him. He caught up to her.

"Happy birthday! Get ready to go. We're leaving soon." he said.

"Where are we going?" she asked confused.

"Didn't Sesshomaru tell you?" he asked but continued when she shook her head, "I 'm taking you shopping today. Sesshomaru gave me his card and instructed me to take you to any store you want, and get you whatever you like." he answered pulling out the credit card to show her.

"Oh wow, "she said, "That's cool. I should be ready in an hour then." Miroku nodded his head and left her to get ready. Kagome walked into the bathroom and got in the shower. When she was finished she went to her room and got dressed. Then she went back into the bathroom to apply her makeup. When she was finished she took a good look at herself. She was wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans that were tucked into her mid height, medium brown Ugg boots. Then she had on a lavender tank top with a dark brown V-neck cashmere sweater. Her makeup was light and accented on her features. "Done" she sang as she walked out of the room. She found Miroku on one of the couches. "Ready," she called out to him. He turned around and looked her up and down.

"You look very nice" he said.

"Thanks," she said laughing, "But don't you say that to every girl you see?"

"Every girl I see looks very nice though," he pretended to be insulted, causing her to giggle. Miroku opened the door for her and he guided her to his Benz, opening the door for her. When he got in the car they didn't talk much. He could tell that Kagome was consumed in her thoughts.

She was. She just couldn't understand Sesshomaru. 'First he becomes my friend. Then when he tells me he loves me, he becomes more distant. Then he admits he lied and we are even further apart. And even though neither of us will talk to each other, he sends Miroku to take me shopping courtesy of him.' she sighed, 'I just don't get it. Does he like me or not?' she was so irritated, but her thoughts were interrupted when they pulled up to a mall.

Kagome hadn't even realized it, but she hadn't been to the mall since she lived in America. That was months ago! Miroku parked the car and went over to get Kagome's door but stopped when she did it herself. They walked in together. The building was not very busy but that was because it was a Tuesday in February. Miroku gave Kagome the best gift though because he told her to meet him in an hour exactly by the food court. He gave her Sesshomaru's card and left.

"He probably doesn't want to make it look like he has a girlfriend with him," she said to herself. Kagome looked at the card, "So now I have access to probably thousands of dollars to spend on whatever I want." When she came to that conclusion, she laughed aloud, causing some of the passersby to look. What did she care though? She was going on the shopping spree every girl wanted.

After the hour was up, Kagome had 10 bags with her and found Miroku. He was sitting at the fountain with some girl, and some guy. Neither of whom Kagome had ever seen before. Kagome walked up to the trio. Miroku was the first to speak.

"Kagome, this is Jotsui." he said as the man took a step forward and nodded his head, "He'll take your things to the car. He just got here and will be there to get anything you need. Okay?"

"Okay," Kagome handed the man her bags, "Thank you," she told him.

"You're welcome" he answered smiling, and left.

The rest of the day Kagome spent shopping. She even bought jewelry. By the time it was eight she was exhausted. She met Miroku at the car like Jotsui had said he would be, and they left.

"So did you have fun?" Miroku asked.

"Yes." she answered honestly, "I've never shopped that much in my life. How much did I spend?" she wondered.

"Well by the looks of it," Miroku laughed thinking of all the bags she had, "A few thousand."

"You don't' think Sesshomaru will get mad, do you?" she asked worried.

"Nah," he waved his head, "He won't care." They spent the rest of the drive chatting about nothing. When they arrived at the house, Miroku told her that somebody would be taking her things to her room shortly.

Then she went to find Sesshomaru. He was in his room. She walked in and found him on the bed typing on his laptop. He didn't pay attention to her come in. She sat down next to him. "Hey," she said. Sesshomaru looked up.

"Hello. Happy birthday." he said looking back at the computer screen, "Did you enjoy your day?" he asked seeming nonchalantly.

"Yes" she answered, "Thank you"

"You're welcome" he said.

She sat next to him for a while as he IM'd somebody. When his conversation was over, he closed the machine and went to lie down. Kagome got up, "Good night," she said walking out, and turning off the light in his room.

In the next month, nothing eventful happened. But the spring had come, so Kagome could go outside. In the back yard, she discovered a large garden. It smelled lovely now that the flowers were beginning to grow. Kagome had been feeling horrible though. Due to not eating right, she had passed out twice in the last month. If that wasn't enough, she had been so tired lately. She didn't even do much anymore, but lie around and sleep and she even had a runny nose. She still felt crappy though. What she needed to do was to see a doctor. She left the garden and went to find Kaede.

The woman was talking to Lylah. Kagome knocked on the open door and the both of the ladies looked up. Lylah jumping up with a smile on her face, "Hey there Kagome!" she said.

"Hi," Kagome said not feeling very well.

"Kagome," Kaede said, "You don't look good," she sounded worried, "Lylah, help her over here." Lylah obeyed and guided Kagome to the chair.

Kagome was grateful though because she was feeling a little dizzy. And she felt sick to her stomach. It must have been something she ate lately. 'The sea food!' She never did have a thing for fish. Maybe she had food poisoning. Lylah said something to Kaede and left the room without Kagome even noticing.

"Kagome" Kaede said waiting for the girl to tell her what she came for.

"Ugh," she said looking up, "Kaede, I would really like to see a doctor. I haven't been feeling good lately. Maybe I have the flu or something. I don't know. I just don't feel good. I want some medicine." she said. Kaede looked at the young woman in front of her.

"Okay Kagome, I shall set up an appointment for you then," she said picking up her phone and dialing a number. Kaede was silent as she waited for an answer. When someone picked up she made the appointment. Kagome was daydreaming about how nice it would be to lay down in her comfy bed when Kaede spoke, interrupting her thoughts. "Kagome, I have an appointment made for you. It's in two weeks. The doctor is out of town right now but you should be fine. You can just go there if you don't feel any better."

"Two weeks?" Kagome asked, "That's ridiculous. If I broke a bone it would be better by then."

"Well if it is anything serious then you will go. If not, then you will be fine and we will cancel your appointment." Kaede said with finality.

Kagome nodded and left. She went to her room and got in bed. She fell asleep and woke up to knocking on her door. It was Sesshomaru.

"I just got home," he said walking over to her, "I was informed that you aren't feeling very well," he sat on the bed next to her, "What is wrong?"

"I don't know." she answered honestly, "Kaede got me an appointment. It's in two freakin' weeks though."

"Well what is ailing you right now? Tell me everything" he asked. He didn't want to risk catching anything she had so he wanted to know what was going on.

"I feel sick. Like I have food poisoning. I get nauseous a lot even though I never actually throw up, I'm always really, really tired, my head hurts, and my nose is all congested." she paused, "Plus, I think I have a UTI."

"A UTI?" he asked.

"Well I don't know. I don't want to talk about it with you." she said blushing. Sesshomaru understood and nodded his head. Well it seemed that it was nothing he would have to worry about then. He got up and left the room before saying, "Don't worry about me tonight, or tomorrow."

"Thanks" she said loud enough for him to hear.

Two weeks passed and Kagome hadn't felt any better. She didn't faint or anything but she still felt weird. She was escorted to the car by Miroku.

"I hope everything's okay Kagome." he said.

"Thanks. Me too." she got in the car and he closed the door behind her.

When she got to the hospital the driver opened the door for her. It was Jotsui. He walked with her inside of the building and led her to an office.

"Have a seat Miss Kagome," he instructed, "I will check you in." Kagome sat down and waited. When Jotsui finished talking to the nurse he sat beside her. After about five minutes, a small lady walked into the waiting room. She looked at her clip board,

"Higurashi, Kagome," she called out, looking around. Her eyes landed on Kagome as she got up. "Please come with me miss." she said nicely.

The woman took Kagome into a hallway and led her to a scale, "If you could please take off your shoes and hand me your coat." Kagome did, "Thank you, now just step on the scale so I can get your weight." Kagome stood on the scale and watched the girl move the weights. "130 lbs" she said aloud while writing it down. "Okay, now can you please go over to that wall right there and stand up straight with your heels against the wall?" she pointed to the measuring tape. "5' 6" the girl mumbled writing it down. "Alright please follow me," she said when Kagome put on her shoes and coat.

She was taken to a small room and told to sit on the bed. Her blood pressure was taken and then the girl sat at a computer and asked her a bunch of questions. When she was done, she stood up, "Thank you. The doctor shall be in momentarily." she said and walked out, closing the door behind her.

After about 5 minutes, there was a knock on the door and an older gentleman walked in. "Hello, Miss Higurashi," he said looking at her file. "So what are you here for?" he asked to confirm everything. Kagome told him what had been going on and he nodded. "Well Kagome, with everything you have told me, and the questions that the medical assistant asked you, have you considered the thought of being pregnant?" he asked her.

Kagome was shocked. Of course she hadn't. "No." she said.

"Well you have gained a tad bit of weight, and you file has shown minimal increase over the years. And you have many symptoms."

Kagome refused to believe him.

"When did you have your last period?"

"…" she paused thinking about it, "a few months ago," she didn't realize it had been so long.

"Okay and have you been sexually active?"

"Yes."

"Did you use protection?"

"Well, no." she made an excuse, "But it was a long time ago…Are you sure that's what it is? There couldn't be anything else?"

"Well Kagome, although I'm convinced; if you're not pregnant than you could have psuedothyamitomas, or PTM for short. Let me write up some blood tests for you," he said scribbling on a piece of paper and handing it to her. "There you are. Now just go to the lab downstairs and get this done. When you are finished you can come back up here and just tell the secretary that your back. We will call you in here when the results are sent up." He stuck out his hand for her to shake and led her out of the room.

She went down a hallway and headed to the laboratory. When she got in she handed the lady the orders and took her seat. Finally it was her turn. Kagome felt like she was moving in slow motion. She couldn't be having Sesshomaru's baby. She just couldn't. The two of them, they wouldn't work out. Her life was never boring it seemed. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the woman sticking the needle in her arm, or even finishing. She came back to reality when the woman pulled it out and she felt the sting. Kagome winced.

"Okay Ms. Higurashi, you can go back upstairs now. We'll start running the tests as soon as possible." the lady smiled at her as she left.

Kagome walked back to the first room she was in and the secretary nodded to her as she walked in. Jotsui was seated reading a newspaper. Kagome sat down next to him. She picked up a magazine and looked at the words without really reading them. Finally the girl from before came through the door and called her name. Kagome stood up and went to another room and was told to sit and wait for the doctor. She took her seat and waited. Kagome didn't know what was going to happen, 'I can't be. I have PTM. That's what it is.' she told herself praying to every god she had ever heard of. Finally the doctor knocked on the door and entered the room.

Sesshomaru got home from work early that day. His father had called him home early to speak to him. Sesshomaru went to Toga's study. His father was seated at his desk and Kagura was seated in front of him. 'What is this?' he wondered as he walked in and took a seat. Toga spoke first.

"Miss Kagura's father has passed away a few days ago."

"My condolences," Sesshomaru said insincerely to the woman. He really couldn't care less. Kagura nodded.

"Sesshomaru, I know that you are to be given the company next year, and I've been doing a lot of thinking. Tell me son, what company is our biggest and only competition standing?"

"Vienta Inc." he answered smoothly and walked right into the trap.

"Well I wanted to do something big before I left. So I have made a decision." Toga said with a gleam in his eyes. "I want to merge companies. Due to her father's passing may he rest in peace, Kagura is now at the head of the company. She has come to me with this proposal and I agree strongly. Sesshomaru, you are going to marry Kagura. In return, she will surrender all of her company to us." Toga said.

"Welcome back Kagome. Are you ready for your results?"

"Yes" she answered. In her mind she was screaming no. She wasn't ready at all. Actually she felt near a nervous breakdown at the moment.

"Okay," he said pulling out the folder, "Well you don't have PTM," he started, and Kagome felt the world stop at what her doctor was telling her.

"Congratulations, Ms. Higurashi, you are pregnant."
