From Above
An Inuyasha Fanfiction
By Momoe
Thank you all for reading and to my reviewers again! And slvrphoenx, thank you for your review! I was going for that exactly some I'm glad I conveyed everything well! :3
"It's me." I finally spoke and placed my hand on Sesshoumaru's stomach. "I'm pregnant with his child." Bunko was up on her feet again and standing over me before I could react. She reached her hand up and swung to smack me across my face, but Sesshoumaru's hand reach out and grabbed her wrist before she made contact.
"Mother it would be wise for you to sit down. Now." Sesshoumaru's voice came out in a way I have never heard it before. She didn't move her hand, she just glared at me. I returned her glare. She looked so angry, her eyes looked as if daggers could come out of them. After a moment she ripped her hand away from Sesshoumaru's grasp.
"How dare you grab your mother that way." She said and adjusted her clothes before going to sit down again. She composed herself and fixed her hair a little bit. "This is a complete and total disgrace, you are nothing more than a common whore."
"Mother, do not speak of Kagome in such ways. You do not know the situation and are only looking from the outside." Sesshoumaru said with a frown of distaste. "Kagome is a wonderful woman, a very kind hearted and good person. Our situation wasn't expected but it was very welcomed on my part."
"She was your brother's girlfriend? How on earth is that acceptable?" Her eyes were still wide I could tell she was fuming but she was hiding it well.
"I've been in love with her for years mother, I wanted to make her mine from the moment I met her. I finally have the chance and we are having a child together. She is having your second grandchild. I would like your support in our life and our decisions." Sesshoumaru said in a firm voice.
"How could I support a relationship like this? This whore? being part of my family? She's going to ruin the Taisho name with that child. Get rid of it." She demanded. I couldn't hold in my scoff. How dare she say something like that to Sesshoumaru.
"How dare you tell us to get rid of this child." She seemed shocked that I spoke up and with such a voice, I was glad that my voice wasn't shaking. I was pissed. "Do you even care at how much Sesshoumaru wants this? Do you not care about his happiness? He is there every night, talking to my stomach, telling our child how much he loves it and how excited he is for it to be born, how he can't wait to meet it, and yet you- you dare say such a cruel thing like that?" I tried my best not to yell at her.
"You can't ruin the Taisho name." She repeated to me.
"How would I ruin it? Don't you think Inuyasha already did enough damage to it? He lived a double life for who knows how long and had a child on the side when he was already in a relationship. Sesshoumaru is being honest with what he wants in life and you want to punish him" I paused and placed my hand on my stomach, "You want to punish us and blame us for it? Sesshoumaru wants to include you in our lives and you tell him to 'get rid of it'? " I couldn't stop the words from coming out, if Bunko hadn't interrupted me I would have kept going.
"Inuyasha did nothing wrong!" She yelled and slammed her fist on the table. "Sesshoumaru!" She looked at him with a hard stare. "I gave you the tools to build your law firm and this is how you repay me? You were supposed to marry into money and not get some nobody pregnant."
"Mother." He said, "Everything Kagome has said, I agree with." Bunko shook her head in disbelief.
"Get rid of it. I will not tell you again. If you don't, there will be problems between us." She threatened.
"No, there won't mother." Sesshoumaru tried to correct her. "There will only be problems if you keep acting this way. That is my child in her stomach and I love her and our child with everything that I am. I wouldn't change it for the world." He said and placed his hand over mine on my stomach. He made everything so much better right away. Just those simple words made me feel wonderful.
Bunko stood up. "I will change your mind, Sesshoumaru." She started walking out of the private room. "You both will regret this." She said again before leaving. I looked at Sesshoumaru and he stared deep into my eyes.
"That didn't go so well did it?" I laughed, at least I tried to. "Everything… is going to be okay, right?" Sesshoumaru nodded and kissed me on the forehead.
"Of course. I'll make sure everything will be perfectly fine." I smiled at him then looked at the massive amount of sushi that was still on the table.
"I bet you I could eat all of this!" I said with a big smile and picked up another piece. Sesshomaru laughed his glorious laugh and placed an arm around me. We ate the rest of our meal happily and tried to put our negative encounter with Bunko behind us.
I pulled my wet hair into a messy bun, threw on some baggy pink pajama pants and a black tank top. I had just finished taking a nice hot bath and I sat down with some chips on the couch to watch a good romantic comedy. My back was hurting today but sitting on the couch and my bath helped a bit. It had been a few days since our dinner with Bunko but Sesshoumaru and I quickly recovered from her threats.
Just as the movie started there was a knock at the front door. I slowly got out and walked to the door, slightly annoyed that I was going to miss the beginning of this movie, I've been wanting to see it. I opened the door and it was our landlord on the otherside.
She was a very old woman, very frail, wrinkled, and hunched over. She had her grey hair cut close to her head and wore a long loose dress. I've met our landlord a few times before, she was a very sweet lady but she works too hard for her old age.
"Yamako." I said with a big smile and she returned it.
"Kagome, dear how are you? How's your body doing? Sesshoumaru told me the good news." She smiled.
"We are doing great!" I said happily. "How can I help you?" She let out a pained sigh.
"Well, Kagome, as you know I'm growing old in age, I'll be eighty-six next month." I nodded. "I hate to tell you thins." She paused for a moment. "But someone put an offer on this building, they are well above asking price for it and will handle all of the costs of transferring the ownership… with that kind of money I can finally retire. I've wanted to live out my last years in relaxation and worry free. I took the offer. So I am here to give you your thirty day notice." She handed me a piece of paper.
"I hate to do this especially when you two are expecting." I nodded. "I'm really sorry."
"Yamako!" I smiled. "Don't apologise for this. It is your life dream, please relax a little." I tried to be cheerful about the situation but it stressed me. It wasn't Yamako's fault though. "I'll let Sesshoumaru know." She bowed to me before leaving.
Financially, Sesshoumaru was very well off. This sort of thing wouldn't be an issue to him but I loved this place and I had a sinking feeling that Bunko was behind it. I read over the paper that Yamako gave me. Yes, we had thirty dates to find a new apartment and move. It was a lot to do… a lot to pack. I sighed and dialed Sesshoumaru's number to tell him what had happened.
