"Sesshomaru!"

He heard her calling, he could tell she was down the hall and coming after him. They had been home for a week, and she didn't like it. He had to admit, he was not used to being in one place to long, in fact before she came along he never came to his father's house.

"Sesshomaru" She came throught the door, one hand on her hip. He looked at her with no concern on his face, she was throwing a fit.

"Why cant we go back"

She wanted to go back to the village, live in a hut. It was odd, he thought with her coming from a place were one did not live outside that she would be happy, but no, wrong.

"It is unsafe"

"Oh since when do you care about someones safety" She didn't mean to say it, but it was in the back of her mind, he was not one for caring. Sesshomaru of course just looked at her,

"Are you done?"

"No, come on, I know you don't like sticking around here either!" She was right, but she was pregnant, and these times were different from her own.

"We are not leaving miko, the humans will come if there is news"

She glared at him "Those humans have names you know"

Once again, he just looked at her. Kagome huffed and left him, she didn't know how much more should could stand, she had been running around for so long that sitting and doing nothing was, well, boring. Kagome made her way around, at least this place had old scrolls that she could read, living breathing past and it was at her finger tips. Kagome made her way to them room that held the scroll, many one would think were fairy tales, but she knew all to well, that they were real.

Kagome opened the door, she could tell no one had been in the room in a long time, in fact the whole place needed cleaning and she had said so. Kagome smile as she remove the cloth hanging from the window. She sat to looking for something to read, and of course the one book that caught her eye was up high. Kagome chewed on her lip, she thought about calling him, but she didn't want to be all dependent on him, sure they had their moments but their relationship was not that of a married couple. Kagome found a old stool and tapped it with one foot to see if it was still usable, it seemed good to her. She scooted it to the place she wanted it, placed on foot on it while holding on the desk that was in the room, she then placed her other foot on, but still held the desk. After a moment Kagome let go of the desk and stood "I think I'm overreacting" If she fell it was, what a 1 foot fall. Kagome turned and reached up to the gold and red book that had caught her eye, teasing her.

"Why do they put the good ones up high" She said reaching,

There was a cracking noise and Kagome knew it was the stool but her hand was so close. Kagome gasp as she felt the stool crack, she did get her hand on the book and it cam falling down. Kagome braced for the small fall but somehow end up in the mist of something warm.

"I do recall the floor being warm" She then heard a small growl and looked at what had saved her. Sesshomaru had her on one hand, the book in the other. She smiled up at him, but he was having none of it, she could not get to him as she had Inuyasha.

"Miko" His tone was warning,

"Hey its not my fault this place is falling apart, and I'm not nine month pregnant either"

Sesshomaru stood her up and held out the book "It matters not how far along you are, do not do this again miko"

"I'm not a child"

Sesshomaru turned from her "That remains to be seen" Was his words as he left. Kagome shrilled at him before slamming the door.

"Over grown demon" She said as she sat and began to read.

Sesshomaru found himself smirking at her last words, did she forget he could hear almost a mile away. He had a feeling she was up to something, and of course he opened the door to find her doing something she should not have.

Sesshomaru had to pull her from the book for her to eat, which he made sure she did, not that he had to, she liked to eat.

"I'm gunna go take a bath"

He reminded him self to work on her way of speaking "Very well"

She smiled and went to do just that. The windows were open, it was hot inside and out, no doubt the demons workers opened them to keep it from getting to hot. Kagome didn't care for the open windows, but she knew better than to close them herself, and she could have called someone, but she was already naked and not calling Sesshomaru, he would have something smart ass to say. Kagome stepped slowly into the warm water, the breeze outside chilled her skin, even with it being warm air. Kagome pushed water up her arms to remove the chill bumps. Kagome turned away from the opened windows, but she still knew they were open, she felt like a child, why was she so scared. Kagome glance back at the window, her powers moving within her.

"Hello" She said, as if someone would say hi back, and really, she didn't want anyone to say hi. She turn away again and leaned back to get her hair wet, that's when her power picked up, her heart raced, she was a shadow pass. Kagome stood up and turned quick.

"Sesshomaru" She wispered, testing his name in case she was not seeing things. Her eyes were stone on the window when another shadow passed,

"Sesshomaru!" She yelled, backing up and sticking her hands out, if she had to use her power she would "Sesshomaru!" She yelled again, thought she didn't need to. She didn't even get all the way out before he was rushing to her. Sesshomaru went in, sword in hand, his eyes on her. This was no 'ew its a bug" yell. She stood with her arms out, ready.

"Stand down miko"

She did "The window" She told him. He looked at it, but saw nothing, but something was lingering.

"It, it was a shadow" She said calm. Sesshomaru turned to her, she looked relived to see him there, she trusted him to protect her. His hand was hard on his sword, he found that he liked that she wanted him to protect her, pride hit him.

He now only wanted her to call his name, she had no need for protecting from another.
