Kagome had been crying for hours, her arms wrapped around her new priestess clothing. She shivered uncontrollably as she sobbed softly, although the air was warm and the sun was shining high in the sky. The cold she felt was stirring in her heart and filling her soul, she could feel it.
Nothing Inuyasha did would console her and he was growing desperate. He sat next to her, gentle arms wrapping around her tightly in support and comfort. He hated seeing her like this. It made him want to destroy anything he could, especially Sesshomaru, that pompous ass.
"Come on, Kagome. It's not the end of the world." Inuyasha brushed a hand through her hair, bringing her head down gently to his shoulder to rest on.
Kagome shuddered against his fire rat kimono, holding him tightly to her. Her breath was cold, lips slightly colored blue and her whole body shook with the weight of her sorrow.
"But Inuyasha… If Rin really IS pregnant then he'll never let her go. You said so yourself he's a ruthless monster! He'll never take care of Rin and she'll be forced to raise his bastard child. He doesn't even like humans!" Kagome cried harder. "What are we going to do? How can we protect her, especially now? It's all my fault." Kagome whispered the last words angrily.
When Inuyasha had gathered word of Sesshomaru settling back at his castle, he'd gone to scope the bastard out, hoping to catch a glimpse of Rin, hopefully healthy. He didn't dream that he'd hear Jaken telling Sesshomaru's right hand demon that Rin was knocked up. What if someone else had heard? Luckily no one else had been in the area, but still. That damn toad could have caused serious injury to Rin if it had been another demon, and not Inuyasha, listening in. How was he supposed to get Rin back for Kagome now? If Sesshomaru was crazy enough to start raping human women, he wouldn't be handing her over easily, if at all.
Inuyasha grabbed the hilt of his Tetsaiga aggressively. He would finally defeat Sesshomaru, for Kagome and himself. He would do anything to make Kagome happy and he was responsible for how miserable she'd been.
"We'll get her back, Kagome. We know where she is now. We'll rescue her and she won't have to deal with that bastard Sesshomaru again. I can't even imagine him putting up much of a fuss. What would he want with a half demon baby, anyway? We'll set off for the castle first thing tomorrow morning, but Kagome, you have to rest and quit worrying yourself over this, would ya?"
Nodding her assent, Kagome lay down by the fire, dragging Inuyasha with her.
Inuyasha pressed his lips to Kagome's, running a hand through her hair and bringing her as close to him as possible.
