He stood under the small water fall from his hot spring. His hand pressed against the wall his head down and his hair all around him. Water washed down the side of his face...he was frozen in place....deep in thought. That was in till his father opened the door. Sesshomaru looked over at his father who was leaning against the frame with his arms crossed. "You might have a chance after all" he said, Sesshomaru gave him a confused look but did ask...he just looked down again at the water. "Something wrong my son?"

Sesshomaru didn't answer...he wanted to be left alone. "I see...well while your thinking about how you feel....think about how she feels" When Sesshomaru looked back up his father was gone. How she feels? How did she feel...in there, just a moment ago...she wanted him. Why? How?

His thought drifted to their up coming child...just hearing that run in his head was odd their child, our child She was baring him his first son...damn.

Kagome sat alone in her room, so many things happening today. First Inuyasha...then this..who know what is next. Then a knock came to her door. "Come...come in"

Sesshomaru's father came walking in "are you ok my Lady?"

Kagome looked down "Yeah..I guess"

"somethings bothering you" He walked closer to her "Inuyasha back"

"Indeed"

She looked up at him...did he know that he was going to return "Kikyo is with him" She would just see what he knew "As she should be" Kagomes eyes widen...he did know "What..do you mean?"

"Why I sent him to find her...she is no longer living death"

Did he mean she was...alive? "Alive?" She wispered

"Indeed" he said with a smirk "But...why?"

"Because I say it so" His face went hard "Why do you ask the questions...why does it concern you?"

Kagome looked away from him "Kagome...you are with who you should be with" Her head snapped back to him " It was fate...Sesshomaru just sealed it for you two"

She didn't want to hear this " Kagome-

"No"

She stood up "I didn't even have a choice" She turned away from him "I didn't get to decide! fate you say....no you make ur own fate..by choices" She turned back to him "I didn't get to choose to make my fate!"

"I dont know if I believe in fate as much as I believe in choices"

He just shook his head "You are thinking to much into this" He stood

Kami how she didn't like him right now. "What then?"

"You say choice...so you were robbed of your choice to be with him...fine...but you are with him...now you do have the choice of how you will live with him, how you will deal with him.....how you will feel about him" He looked at her in the eyes and she did him....he was right. He left the room and closed the door softly. Kagome fell back on the bed.

She was getting bigger...and she was her a baby would be here. She was sitting on her knees in her bed in her room...she had not slept in his bed with him for a week. Her door was open and was her widnows...it was becoming warmer. She was going through some silk and fabrics...trying to pick her favorite. She picked up some blue and yellow silk and held it up "Hmmm"

then she dropped the silk "Uh" She placed her hand to her tummy..the baby moved, kick. She smiled "So you like the blue and yellow?" she asked, and again a kick. She smiled "What about the silver?" again another happy little kick. Kagome bit her lips...her pup...she could not wait. She laid out the three colors and smoothed them out. She had another little kick and she placed her hand in her belly again "Your playful today" she said with a giggle..then she felt something and looked to the door. Sesshomaru was coming down the hall....there were a few men behind him along with his father. She could see the men talking to him...but she could tell he was not hearing them...his eyes were on her as were her on his. They came closer to her door and Sesshomaru stopped and put his hand up...all the men stopped talking. Sesshomaru gave her a look...as if he were asking her something.. she just titled her head a bit a smiled. He narrowed his eyes....something was annoying him. "Come" He heard her say. In the back ground his father was smiling big. Sesshomaru ignored the gasp from the men as he walked into the room "Come men I shall show you to the study..,my son will join us in a moment"

Once they were gone Sesshomaru spoke "You should not command me"

She wanted to roll her eyes "I wasn't..it was your choice to come or not"

"The only time a female would be permitted to command her Lord to come woman, in front of others is if she wish to lay with him" She blush...great...is that what those men were thinking. She felt another kick and the she hear Sesshomaru growl "Whats wrong with you?" she asked

He didn't answer, again another kick and again he growled...Kagome giggled "What is so funny woman"

"Every time the baby kicks....you growl" She giggled some more, but she stopped when Sesshomaru stepped to her in one step and placed his hand on her belly. He was not looking her...in till the baby kicked...their eyes met. "He..is being playful today"

He didn't say anything...his eyes just went to her lips..kami her lips. She noticed this, his eyes on her mouth. She placed her hand in top of his, but he yanked his away..she looked down.

"Rest" was all he said before he walked out. Stupid demons. She through a book at the door. She hated this.

---

The whole meeting Sesshomaru's foot bounced...something he never did..his father noticed this. As the men left Sesshomaru still sat there...that was in till his father slammed the doors "My son"

Sesshomaru stood up "What is it now father"

"The book...have you read it again?"

No he had not...nor did he want to...he had other things on his mind...like his mate..and why he was being pulled to her..maybe he needed to get laid...and not from her. He was allowed really...he was the Lord...he could call upon another for his needs. Yes that is what he will do. He father must have been reading his aura and mind "Don't son"

Sesshomaru just looked at him "Go to her..not another"

"This is none of your concern" and Sesshomaru walked out.
