No you'll never leave your lover, no/ There's just too much that time cannot erase.

Kagome knew that she would not get a fairytale ending, but at least her sister would and Kikyo deserved it.

Inuyasha did too and she knew they would run away from this place. She hoped that one day she could too. Sesshomaru would never leave Kagura for her. She was sure the wind witch would be pregnant as soon as this baby was born and he gained his power.

The one bad thing about this was once a miko had a half-demonic baby, no man would want her. Human or otherwise. She would be seen as tainted.

This son would be an only child.

Not even rapists would touch her, not like she would allow them to.

The land was quiet again, the festival was over but then the wind carried in a message from the North.

The Northern Lord wanted to meet.

Sesshomaru was not pleased by his father's acceptance of it.

"We should take Kagome and Kikyo away from here," Inuyasha stated.

"I agree," InuTashio stated.

"You wish to send them away from our protection?" Sesshomaru asked.

"K, you ain't protecting nothing but your power jackass."

"Indeed." Sesshomaru stated. "You forget their place in all this."

Inuyasha bared fang and Sesshomaru bared it back.

"Enough." This was a tough call for InuTashio. "Call for Kagome."

A servant did, and she came and bowed. "You called for me, My Lord?"

Sesshomaru's eyes went to her ever-growing belly.

"Naraku is coming to the West."

She rose an eyebrow. "Okay…" She said slowly.

"We are at odds as what to do with you and Kikyo." He said.

"I think you two should leave. I'll go with you of course, and it's only for a few days."

"We are a danger to you." She said.

"More of if he finds out about you," Inuyasha spoke.

She bit her lip. "I see." In one case, they were better protected here. However, for her at least, it didn't matter. He could use her against them after her pregnancy. While Sesshomaru didn't care, the rest did.

"We should send for Kouga." She said.

"The wolf prince," Sesshomaru spoke, her eyes glided to him. "Hai."

"Why?" He asked.

"The wolf tribe will offer us great protection." She stated.

"The wolf hates my person."

"It is not for you that he will protect me, My Lord."

Inuyasha laughed. Sesshomaru cut his eyes to Inuyasha. "Something funny half breed?"

"She just told you." He laughed. "But she is right, Kouga would protect her based solely on the fact that he wants her for himself."

"She carries my child." Sesshomaru stated.

"She carries your power and nothing more you jerk."

Soon enough both were growling at each other.

"Enough, Inuyasha." Kagome snapped she then looked at InuTashio. "Send for Kouga."

"Miko, without my power you will weaken."

"I went months without you, I think I'll live for a week."

He didn't like her tone, he growled with a warning.

"Enough, Sesshomaru, send word to the wolf." His father cut in.

His demonic power ran through the castle with anger but did as he was told. The next day they all traveled to meet the wolf halfway.

He came quickly, passing Sesshomaru and grabbing Kagome's hand. "Hey Kagome."

She blushed "Hi, Kouga."

"Wow, you looked edible." He grinned. "I can't wait till you can carry my cubs."

Sesshomaru grabbed the back of Kouga's fur and dragged him away from Kagome. "Do not touch what is mine."

"K, I don't see no claim on her, just your brat in her belly."

"Kouga." Kagome warned it was her brat too.

"While my seed grows in her, she belongs to me. See that you remember that wolf."

"I don't belong to anyone." She said under her breath, Sesshomaru turned to glare at her.

Men.

"K, come on Kagome." Kouga reached for her and she took his hand.

Sesshomaru's beast rattled within him at the sight. He wondered if it was normal. He would have to speak to his father about it.

"Halt, wolf." Kouga stopped as Inuyasha kissed Kikyo and rubbed her belly.

Sesshomaru walked up to Kagome and placed his hand on her belly. Kouga dropped her hand.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and fed the baby a burst of his power. To Sesshomaru's pleasure, the baby moved against his hand.

Kagome stopped breathing.

Sadness filled her heart and she knew she would never stop loving him. Not even time could erase it.

He let her go and Kouga pulled her away. She turned back to look at him. He stood unwavering, his eyes on her.

Fear rushed her, but she turned away from him.

Time may not erase her love for him, but perhaps she could learn to love another if another would love her enough to have her.

Kagome looked at Kouga's hand.

It wouldn't be him, he had a mate to be too.

They would never leave their lovers and she would never ask them to.
