Kagome can't remember what happened that cold winter's night when she was attacked? Nor can she remember who her attacker was. Her only clue is the baby she now carries within her womb. Inuyasha has a sneaky suspicion, and Kagome now wonders if her baby is even human.

'Baby of Mine'

Sesshoumaru stood alone in his courtyards, the cold wind whipping at his face. He could still taste her in his mouth. The sweet wine... The forbidden Ambrosia he desired, longed for... He wanted more... He needed more...

He growled, trying to push the thoughts from his mind. The fact of the matter was he had lost all sense of what he was doing. All that had mattered at that moment was making sure he fulfilled her...completed her. Why hadn't he noticed she was coming into Heat(Estrus) again? Had he been so angry that his anger had blocked out that crucial fact? He had merely taken a whiff of her blood and he had been under its spell in an instant. He had been so willing he would have taken her by force! He would have raped the wench again without as much as a thought! He cringed, fists clenching drawing blood. This wasn't how the Lord of the Western Lands was suppose to act. This showed he was weak! That even HE couldn't resist such urges! He had refused to ever taking a mate in the past. He had refused every call and enticment thrown his way. And now... He felt dare he say it...ashamed...

What was he going to do now? He couldn't be near her. Not now anyways... As long as she was in Estrus he had to stay away. He had to remain hidden. Even if he couldn't smell her blood anymore, he could still taste it. He had tasted paradise and he wanted more. And he knew she would be in danger as long as he was close. Infact, he couldn't even have his son around her right now either. In truth, he didn't want his son around her right now. He didn't want to risk anything. Between her unstable condition right now and his urge to mate with her... he wouldn't be safe at all. No, his son had to go until the wench was back to normal. His son, Rin and that kit. But the only safe place would be... Could he possibly..? Yes, he would send them there. She would be all too willing to watch them. Which would let him have control over the situation better.

Turning back to the manor he already had a plan forming in his mind.

She had been awake for about an hour now. Kagome had awakened once again in the healing rooms. However she didn't fuss as they worked over her naked form. She merely laid there. Everyone else had seen why not give someone else an eye full? She felt used, a doll who was fun to play with once and awhile.

"Mistress, your robes are on the side table," a young fox said bowing lowly to kagome as she exited the room.

"Please call us if you need anything," another said exiting after the first.

Kagome sat up turning to the side table. Reaching out a hand she bypassed her robes and let her hand rest on a mirror. Holding it up she let her eyes take in her body. There was no evidence of her tift with Sesshoumaru. They had healed completely... Yet... Her hand clutched the mirror tighter. Even though she couldn't see them she knew he had been there. He had tried to.... He had vailated her! She was unclean! He was right when he had told her before! '"There is nothing that would draw my interest. Now or ever. Besides, it's nothing that this Sesshoumaru hasn't already seen. And it shouldn't matter to you any more. You belong to me and no other. No male Youkai, human or any other species shall ever touch you. You bare my mark, and that is all you shall ever know. Never the touch of another, nor receive the love you wish for."'

CRASH!

She had thrown the mirror which now lay in pieces on the floor. Shattered, just like her. Broken, just like her. Unfixable, just like her.

"My Lady!" cried the young fox running into the room. "My lady are you alright?! What happened?!"

"GET OUT!" Kagome screamed. "GET OUT AND LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Fear crossing the young fox's eyes, she ran from the room quickly.

Standing, Kagome grabbed a black kimono from the side table covering up. Moving to the door she walked through the glass, ignoring the pain and the bloody foot steps she left. Moving down the hall she heard whispering behind her but ignored them as she made her way to the nursery. She knew Yoko would be there with her son. The doors were still missing from the room but it had been cleaned up inside. But Yoko... her son...where were they? Had she taken him back to his chambers? Moving swiftly down the manor she made it to his chambers opening them quickly. But...No Yoko...No Inutaisho! "Yoko! Inutaisho!" Breaking into a run she found herself searching the manor but to no avail. Dining room, kitchen, hot springs, bed chambers, even the nursery once more. But no sign. "YOKO! INUTAISHO!" Were they outside? She ran to the Great Hallway, to the wooden doors that would lead her outside. She had barley opened the doors when she felt two strong hands grasp her own holding her prisoner.

Snapping her head around she glared into the face of the TaiYoukai.

"Where is my son..?" she hissed trying to break free from his hold.

"Gone," was his only answer as he gazed at her idifferently.

"Gone?" Kagome asked anger and fear building up within her. "Gone where?"

"Some place I know he will be safe," he said bluntly.

"What? Safe from what?!"

"You." His reply stung her and she felt her blood boil.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Kagome screamed breaking from his hold. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"

"I believe it is my duty as a father to protect my son from any harm or anyone I see dangerous," he said looking rather bored with their argumant already. "I had him moved to a place I know he will be safe. No harm shall become him there and I know he will be well looked after. You should be grateful, he doesn't see you in such a manner. What would he think of him mommy? But don't worry he will return when you are finished."

"SINCE WHEN DO YOU FIT THE ROLE OF FATHER? I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO INUYASHA WHEN HE TOLD ME NOT TO GO! WHY I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE A GOOD FATHER WAS BEYOND ME! I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! AND TO THINK I FELT SORRY FOR YOU! YOU PROBABLY DROVE YOUR PARENTS AWAY BECAUSE YOU WERE SUCH A HEARTLESS BASTARD! ME! ME! ME! I'M SURE THEY "LOVED" YOU! HA! YOU OVERGROWN SON OF A-" She didn't finish as she felt something slam against her cheek knocking her to the ground. Lifting her head in agonizing pain she gazed up at the TaiYoukai. He was breathing hard and something... Was it hurt flashed acrossed his face? She didn't know. His arm was outstrecthed having back handed her across the cheek. And from the way it felt, he had used more force than normal.

"You think you are so high and mighty talking to me like that?" he asked his voice low and dangerous. Talking as if you know everything? As if you have all the answers? Let me get something through to you wench. You are more below me than dirt. You are a human. Worthy of nothing and completely worthless. Ungrateful in every way and only seeking to throw everything into ruin. I will be the first to say it was a mistake to have coupled with you. I will be the first to say it was a mistake to ever let you live or to allow you to give birth. A mistake to bring you here, or to allow you to live in my home." Kagome sat in silence, her jaw hurting too bad to even speak. "Yet, I did it because I believe it to be the best choice. I believed that perhaps my son would have something I didn't. As I said... My mistake. Make use of your time here for now Miko... For you won't be around for much longer."

With that he turned from her, making his way out the front doors. "And don't bother leaving to look for him," Sesshoumaru added. "He is too far out of your reach." The doors instantly closed behind him leaving Kagome alone once again.

Day had merely broke. She hadn't been able to get any sleep through the night. She had stayed awake hoping that any second Yoko would bring her son through the doors telling her he needed fed. But it never happened. Instead she merely watched the door in mock hope. Sesshoumaru had really sent him away. She was alone now. Not even Yoko was here to keep her company. Falling onto her back she lay on the bed in silence, her thoughts swimming around in her head. What was she going to do? Frustrated she moved off the bed and to the window. Could she track her son with this body? No, she hadn't even been able to sense Sesshoumaru's advance at the main entrace. Whatever had happened to her before was dissapearing.

So here she was, playing the waiting game. She didn't even know what she was waiting for! What had Sesshoumaru ment by "finished"? And what exactly had he meant by "you won't be around for much longer." Whatever it was, she didn't like the sound of it. Moving to the crib that had been brought into the chambers she sighed picking up a blanket Inutaisho had used just the night before. It still smelt like him. She missed her son... Why would he be unsafe around her?

The thought dropped when she felt her stomach growl. She had neglected to eat due to her anger and nerves. But now that she had calmed down somewhat, she relaized she was hungry. Replacing the blanket in the crib she made her way out of her chambers and down to the kitchen. No one was there. That was just fine with her. She was upset and when she was upset she had a tendency to binge. Moving to a pantry she quickly began to rummage. Fruits, vegetables, greens, bread, etc. Yet, just the smell of it sent her stomach into fits. Annoyed she moved to the pantry on the other side of the kitchen. Instantly her nose was assaulted by raw meat. Veal, Beef, Pork, chicken.... and it was delectable. Was she loosing her mind? She closed the pantry door but her stomach protested causing her to open the door again.

"Feast..."

She watched her hand reach out on it's on towards a large side of pork before she yanked it back. "No, this is disgusting. I won't eat raw meat."

"Why resist? You are denying your body what it really wants..."

She clutched her hand to her chest holding it to her. "What my body really wants? I know what my body wants and it's not that!"

"Hehe... Are you so sure? Do you think you can full me..? I am you... I know what we really yearn for... follow, and see..."

Moving farther inside she moved amoung the raw meats unsure what she was looking for. The smells were delicious, and her stomach told her to gorge. But her mind told her otherwise. Yet the farther she moved in the more her mind began to agree.

"I can't..."

"Yes, yes you can. Give in... Why suffer any longer..? Why force yourself to hold back..? You are strong and powerful... Do as you wish... Give into your own desires... Let loose!"

As hard as she fought with herself she still found herself moving past the meats and to the back of the pantry. It was then her body froze, fixated, her eyes feasting upon a freshly killed deer. She could smell the fresh blood and her mouth began to water. Some part of her told her it was absolutely wrong, but the other told her to devour. She took a step back but instantly she felt her body convulse, fire spilling through her veins.

"Let it go! Feed! Devour! Now!" Without a second thought she rushed forward, grasping the dead animal and sinking her teeth into its jugular.

It hadn't been dead long. A fresh kill, still warm.... Warm blood poured into her mouth. "FEAST!" She sighed in bliss taking a bigger bite, ripping the flesh from its host. It was like nothing she had ever tasted. It tasted real, bodily, absoulte! Closing her eyes she inhaled the scent, and using her hands, she ripped open the stomach, blood squirting onto her black kimono. Opening her eyes she used her hand ripped out the liver, feasting hungerily. It was exhailarating! She had never felt so fully awake and alive as she did right now.

She didn't know how long she was there, but soon the dear was gone, her heart beating faster than normal. She needed more. She was still hungry. She wanted more. Catching sight of a window to her right she smiled wickedly rushing towards it breaking the glass as she barreled out to the cold wind whipped her face, the night air stinging her eyes. Yet it felt amazing! All her worries seemed to leave her and she found herself breaking through the courtyards an towards the forest before her. She was starving! She wanted more! Breaking the woodline she stopped to listen. She wanted more... She had to have more... For a minute she waited until...

Snap

"Left!" She thought darting deeper into the woods. There! There before her! A boar! It didn't have time to react for she was upon it in no time. Snapping it's neck a beginning to devour at her own leisure. She could feel her body begin to heat up, her heart racing faster than before. She felt hot. Too hot. And oddly it felt good. She couldn't even finish her meal, for she felt her stomach begin to twinge. What was this aching? What was this needy feeling? What was this... Scent? Taking a whiff she found herself following it deeper into the forest. Deeper and deeper. Farther and farther. It was enticing. Moving past a fallen tree she inhaled deeply the scent stronger than before. It was more than enticing, it was bewitching, almost prepossessing!

She hadn't gone too much farther when she felt herself being knocked to the ground her body pinned under something, or someone! Gazing up she caught sight of a handsome young man. No, he wasn't a man, he wasn't even human. He was a demon. He had long dark blue hair and intense icy blue eyes. His hair was halfway tied up in a losse ponytail barely covering his long pointy ears. On his forehead was a small red triangle outlined in a brillant shade of gold. He wore a long black kimono, trimmed in dark blue and bits of gold. Indeed he was very handsome. He moved to his knees eyeing her cautiously before standing.

Kagome took a deep breath, inhaling the intoxicating scent. Moving to her feet slowly they eyed each other carefully. And then before she knew what had happened, he had her pinned onto her stomach. Kagome snarled into the ground.

"To think I could attack such a goddess," he whsipered licking her earlobe with her tongue. Kagome shivered against him. She could feel her body grow hotter and hotter and she felt as though she was going to burst. What was this? "I didn't know if there was any attractive females left in these lands."

He leaned over her inhaling her sweet scent. She was refreshing, delectable...and.... he stopped. Taking in another whiff he froze. It was there... though faint...it was there. The scent of another. She belonged to another. She was someone's mate. She heard him growl above her, and was instantly thrown to the side.

"Who?" he asked looking furious.

"Who?" she repeated trying to move towards the intoxicating scent.

"Who has claimed you?" he asked. "Who do you belong to?"

"Claimed?" she echoed crawling to him, reaching his feet. "I belong to..." Her mind couldn't seem to register answers. For some reason she couldn't think straight. All she wanted...she didn't know... but she knew he could do something about it. She didn't know how, but she knew he could.

He watched her for a moment before kneeling down to her a greedy smile crossing his features. "If you don't know then I will reclaim you as my own." He grabbed her by her hair and threw her into the dirt. It didn't hurt, but it quickly set her off. Growling dangerously she turned to him, fangs bared.

"Are you ready?" he asked arms crossed. Kagome charged at him quickly grabbing him by the arm and tossing him to the ground like a rag doll. The demon surprised by the sudden attack yelped in pain, grasping his arm. He barely had time to register as he found Kagome's knee in his stomach throwing him back into tree after tree. "Your a strong little bitch aren't you?" he chuckled, getting to his feet. "I will have fun breaking you before I make you mine."

And then he was before her, slamming his elbow into her stomach causing her to cry out in utter agony. She had barely made it to the ground before her face met his shin throwing her up into the air like a rag doll. Was she ever going to hit? Again he grabbed her by her hair swinging her around before letting her fly into a loose rock on the forest floor. Her head collided, blood spilling from the open wound.

"Ah...What a heavenly scent!" he mused walking towards her beginning to shed his upper garments. "I will enjoy this mate. I've never paired with a mated female before. But I'm sure it will still be amazing!"

Kagome lay there eyes staring up to the heavens. She couldn't move. She couldn't move at all. With the last blow she had been jogged into her rightful mind and she was completely confused, lost and in terrible pain.

The demon moved to his knees before her grabbing the tie to her kimono. "Now let's see what treasures we have."

Kagome's eyes widened in horror. No! She didn't want this! How had she got here?! Who was this guy?! She could feel the knot being undone and for a moment she saw his face in her mind. She didn't know why but he was the only one she wanted right then and there. Opening her mouth she felt his name slip from her lips, a cry she never thought she would utter in her entire being.

"SESSHOUMARU!"

She wasn't sure what had happened next. It had been too fast. The demon before her was there and then he wasn't. She could hear a bloody scream and then she was covered in a thick layer of blood. Blood. She could smell it. That intoxicating scent, that tempting scent she had taken in before. She felt a heavy warmth spread through her body, capturing her once again. It was stronger than the last time and she wasn't sure why. She felt a terrible pull in her stomach and her shoulder began to ache as if it was on fire. She felt like her mind was being pulled into a thick layer of murky fog. Sitting up slowly she searched for the owner of the scent. But, he there was no sign of the blue eyed demon of before. Instead however, there was someone else. His long white hair blowed gently in the wind, his red eyes baring down upon her. She stared back at him her body on fire. Was her body reacting to him? And of all people? Was this real? She fought to regain any reasonable thought yet her brain deluded her. She merely had to breath in his scent and her mind would drift yet again into the murkiness.

Moving to her knees she felt herself reach out a hand to him. He didn't move or react to it. Was he playing with her? She didn't want to be played with! She felt her hand reaching farther for him. She took in a deep breath, his scent burning her lungs, sending jolts up and down her body.

"Please..."

His body moved on it's own, hearing her soft voice, his eyes red with carnal lust and excitment, his fangs bared. How he longed to just rip her inside out. To take her right here and there like before. To sat the beast within. He moved towards her slowly, low growls escaping his throat. He had to... He needed to....How easy it would be to take her while in such a state... He wanted her...

She smiled in expectancy as she watched him reach out a hand to her; only to swing it forward with incredible force knocking her out onto the cold dirt ground. She lay before him unconcious, her potent scent dying down. He waited for a moment, letting himself calm down his eyes going back to their golden glow.

Wanted... Past tense for want. Turning to the woman on the ground, he quickly picked her up in his arms and headed back to the manor.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the great reviews! Ya'll are amazing! I will have the next chapter up asap!
