Chapter

Monday

She was sleeping when she felt his hands roaming over her body, his soft growl made her smile. She knew what he wanted and brushed him off, shaking her head, while moaning to tease him.

"Grrr…" he growled again, knowing she was playing hard to get. He reached around her stomach and pulled her closer to him and as he did so, his hard-on poked her thigh and she gasped. It was early and still dark outside, the only light was the from the night light she left on in their large bathroom.

She giggled another soft moan, and he took what was his. He could never be satisfied and could never get enough of his mate......

Groaning lazily, she stretched in their large bed. She blinked realizing she'd fallen back asleep after he'd ravaged her body. She yawned and looked at the clock she'd set on their nightstand. It was seven thirty. Luckily, she had the instinct to E-mail Stacy to say that she'll be in late on Monday.

She laid in bed still hazy and didn't want to meet the chilly autumn air outside her covers. She noticed her nose was more keen and she could smell him all over their large bedroom. She giggled, loving the scent of him. She didn't feel as sore in between her legs either. Must be the blood transfusion, she concluded, satisfied with herself. After a few more minutes of stirring around lazily, she got out of bed and headed into the bathroom for a shower and got ready for work.

…..

As usual Sesshoumaru was in his office early and was greeted by his personal assistant, Jaken.

"Good morning, Sesshoumaru-san" he said as he handed his boss the small cup of espresso.

"Thank you, Jaken. What's on the calendar today? How is the merger with Smith and Naraku coming?" he inquired.

"Well, sir, it looks as if Mr. Smith still haven't gotten back to us with the paperwork. Our stocks raised 2%, so there is nothing that required your dire attention today" Jaken reported.

"Very good, Jaken. I am pleased. You've done well" Sesshoumaru complimented his PA.

"There is one tedious matter that you do need to look over at the three buildings we have in San Francisco. It seems that the renovation of one of the Hotel is getting completed sooner than expected and you only need to look over the final paperworks. However, the weapons development base on Alcatraz seems to be having some difficulties" Jaken continued to report.

"Oh? How so?"

"Well, it's still unclear as of right now, but I am on top of it" Jaken assured.

"Very well then, let me know if anything comes up that calls for my attention," Sesshoumaru instructed as he took the stack of papers from Jaken.

"Yes, sir. Of course. If there is nothing else you might need, then I will be off to my office now" Jaken requested.

"Hn" Sesshoumaru replied and his PA left, closing the door behind. Sesshoumaru settled into his chair and turned on the flat-screen TV in his office, letting the finance news run while he looked over at his paperwork.

….

Kanna had gotten up early to get ready for work. He'd lied in bed staring at her as she went about her routine. She was sexy in her thigh highs and garter belt before she slipped on her cream colored suit. He got out of bed and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She was startled by his touch and especially his hard on poking her from behind. She pulled his arms off her, "I have to get to work."

"Take the day off, I want to spend the day with you" he seduced. She wanted to but she knew she couldn't. She didn't want to risk Sesshoumaru finding out that she was Naraku's spy, and now his mate. Not to mention, Naraku would surely kill her if she missed any news about Sesshoumaru.

"No Darien " she protested. "I…I can't miss work. You don't understand my boss" she tried to come up with a good excuse.

Smith waved his hand dismissively. "I'll take care of it for you" he assured her.

"No, we had an agreement. I need to go!" she pushed against him to leave but was pressed against the large closet door by his massive form. Smith began to kiss her and licked her neck. It tickled and she giggled, protesting for him to let her get to work. He moved his hands between her thigh and slid his finger under her small thong.

"Mmmm...you're all wet," he said rubbing her lips and she began to moan. He thrust two fingers inside her and she gasped. Her moan got louder and her breathing hard.

She felt her heart beat raced. She didn't want to be late, but at the same time, what he was doing was feeling too good. Before she could do or say anything else about work, he entered her from behind, hard and fast. She cried out in pleasure and the fact that she was late for work, was no longer relevant. She began to beg him to continue. He complied, and not long after, they both climaxed. He pulled out and bit her neck gently, before smacking her ass and heading into the bathroom for a shower.

"Shit!" She cried, looking at the clock. She was already supposed to be at the office. Straightening herself out she rushed out the door, forgetting to give Smith his daily Sake.

…..

'Eri, in response to your stock question earlier, it is best…' the TV went off softly while he continued to look over his documents.

Without warning, his door swung open. He looked up to see Kagura walking into his office. He glimpsed over to the side and noticed that Kanna was not at her desk. That's a first, she's usually here half an hour early. Exhaling he stood up and met Kagura half way. What does she want now? He thought exasperated. It is still too early for this!

"Sesshoumaru, babe.." Kagura whispered seductively.

"Kagura," he returned her greeting as his long legs carried him over toward the door. He closed it. "What is it?" he demanded, trying to cut her visit short.

"I am here to give you one last chance to rectify your mistake, Sesshoumaru," she said, settling into the lounge chair in the middle of his office. She crossed her legs and he noticed that her stomach had yielded a nice round bump.

"Hn," he looked at her. He thought that pregnant women were supposed to have a 'glow' about them, but with Kagura, he did not see such bliss. "And how so Kagura?" his tone was of disinterested. He walked over to his desk and sat down, flipping through the paperwork Jaken had given him.

"You need to un-mate the human, and choose me as your mate," she began.

He chuckled inside. "Kagura you know as well as I do, that there is no such thing" he retorted.

"Why not? Maybe you can divorce her or something, I don't know, but you must do it!" her voice had become pleading and whiny. He'd always hated when she sounded like that, but he was too involved in his paperwork to care.

"No such thing Kagura. To have a new mate, only happens when the old mate have passed," he advised her absentmindedly; too wrapped up in his paperwork to realize the implication of his words.

A spark glimmered in her eyes. "Fine Sesshoumaru. Have it your way!" she barked before leaving. I can help you send her into an early retirement to her grave…she thought snickering as she left the office.

……
Finishing her make-up, Kagome walked down the stairs into the kitchen for her coffee, when the door rang.

"Coming!" Kumi's voice rang from the kitchen.

"I got it Kumi!" she announced.

She opened the door and there stood Kagura, with her back to it, no less.

"Kagura?" Kagome asked, surprised to see the woman at her home so early. Kagura turned and narrowed her eyes at Kagome, scanning her up and down in her work outfit.

"I'm sorry Kagura, my mate is not available to see you," she said and began to close the door. Kagura pushed it back with a hard force and Kagome stumbled backwards. Kagura barged into the house.

"Hey! You can't just barge in!" Kagome yelled after regaining her balance.

Kagura neared the stairs and whipped her head around. "Who do you think you are to tell me, Kagura, what to do? Ningen!" Kagura spat.

Kagome was even more pissed than Kagura could ever imagine. To think, the bitch dared to barged into her own house, calling her names? She, the mate of Sesshoumaru, will not tolerate such rudeness and disrespect!

"Don't you dare you that term toward me again, Kagura!" Kagome warned.

"Or what?" Kagura baited, she didn't wait for Kagome to answer. Instead, she lashed her fan and a hard wind attacked Kagome throwing her against the front wall. Her back slammed hard against it and she fell forward, face first on the floor.

What the fuck? She thought, a little dazed from the attack.

Kagura stood and watched as Kagome groaned in pain. Her snickering in delight was soon replaced by a wide eye gawk when a threatening aura emitted from Kagome. She watched as Kagome rose on her feet without the help of her hands. Before Kagura could comprehend what was going on, the miko was in front of her and her face was met by the back of the miko's hand hard. Kagura tasted blood in her mouth and she lost her balance, stumbling off the stairs she was standing on. Instinctively, she wrapped her hands about her round stomach to protect the baby within. Seeing this, Kagome moved with incomprehensible speed and caught the bitch, setting her feet on the marble floor.

Kagura staggered backwards, shocked at the miko's power, strength, and speed .

I've underestimated the bitch! Kagura thought. Fuming, she thought she wasn't going to loose a battle against the bitch after she'd already lost her man. She moved to attack Kagome again with her 'dance of blades' but the miko wrapped her attack in a barrier and directed elsewhere. Furniture splintered, vases shattered as the attack shred them into tiny pieces. Kagura moved to attack again but was quickly pressed against the wall by a force-field barrier.

"I don't want to fight you. You are pregnant with my mate's pup. I will not harm you, however, if you don't leave, I am not going to guarantee for the safety of your pup" she let Kagura go and turning her head she added, "or you for that matter."

Kagura's chest heaved heavily up and down from anger. If she should loose the pregnancy battling Kagome, it would work in her favor. She'd have a heavier guilt to hold on Sesshoumaru. And if she happened to kill the little bitch in the process, even better! It was perfect, three birds with one stone!

She charged at Kagome with 'dance of the dragons'. With both InuYoukai blood coursing in her veins, Kagome was much faster and stronger than Kagura could ever be; but Kagome only blocked the attack with her barrier.

Kagome was irate to have to deal with physical confrontation, but as she was preparing to attack Kagura, a deep suspicion clouded her decision. She's up to something, Kagome realized. What could it be? So, instead of hurting Kagura with her attack, she only protected herself with her barrier. Curiosity overwhelmed her as she sat and watched Kagura launched one attack after another at her - getting angrier by the second because Kagome refused to attack her.

Then it hit her, and Kagome gasped. The bitch wanted my mate's pup's blood on my hands! She shook her head, at the low tactic and refused to give Kagura the satisfaction of such an atrocious crime. She wanted to rid the world of such a despicable woman but she knew her mate's young pup laid within the woman's womb. Kagome sighed heavily thinking about the long years she and her mate would have to deal with the crazy bitch after the pup was born.

"What's wrong Kagome? Afraid to come out of your shell?" She teased, trying to get Kagome out of her barrier.

"I'm not going to hurt you Kagura. I don't care how much you're going to attack me, I could never hurt you, not while you're pregnant" Kagome affirmed.

Kagura was belligerent! She wanted to be hurt, to be damaged by Kagome, then she would have the upper hand over Sesshoumaru. But as she raised her hand to launch another attack, Sesshoumaru caught her by the wrist and held her firm.

"Kagura, what do you think you're doing?" Sesshoumaru bellowed in anger.

"You said, you wouldn't mate me unless she was dead!" Kagura screamed.

Kagome shot her mate a look. He sighed and shook his head at Kagura. "Kagura! I never said such things! You are out of line!" He turned to his mate, "Kagome, are you alright?"

She nodded.

"Sesshoumaru!" Kagura wailed, stomping her feet like a child with a bad tantrum.

"Kagura, leave, NOW! You will NOT to be near my mate ever again! You and I are having a pup together, and I, ALONE will deal with you. If you dare make another attempt on Kagome, you'll regret it!" Sesshoumaru warned her. Kagome had never heard her mate so angry before. Not even when that guy from the club had followed her home..

Kagura narrowed her eyes at him. Her chest swelling up and down from anger and breathless from her attacks.

"No, YOU'LL be the one to regret this Sesshoumaru! Choosing her over me!" she screeched yanking her wrist free and turned her heels to leave.

"Kagome.." Sesshoumaru turned toward his mate.

"I can protect myself. I'm fine. She wanted me to hurt your pup though, I couldn't…"

He gathered his mate in his arms, and held her tight. He knew her heart was big, and generous but it touched him deeply that she was willing to sacrifice herself for the innocent.

"How did you know?" Kagome asked him.

"Kumi, called, I left the office right away" he responded.

She pulled from their embrace and looked at him in his suit. She drooled. He cleared his throat and looked around the damaged place. She followed his gaze and noticed the busted furniture, broken vases and shattered room.

"Sorry" she apologized.

He smiled at his mate, "It wasn't you, mate. I'll make sure to send Naraku the bill" he joked.

"Now, you're scaring me" she responded to her mate's joking.

"Mate, it looks as if you're going to need to change for work though," he said with a naughty smile.

"Eeepp!" she screamed; within a blink of an eye her mate lifted her to their bedroom....

....he can never get enough of his mate...

~................

.................~

Kanna arrived at her office late and was relieved to see that Sesshoumaru wasn't there. I guess he's busy with his mate. She settled into her seat and started her paperwork and reviewed the messages on the phone.

Ten minutes later, Sesshoumaru arrived, striding in with an irritated look on his face. (he was thinking about how to keep Kagura away from his mate) She can tell someone had fucked up his morning real bad and she was glad that she was already there when he finally showed up.

Her heart picked up speed when he suddenly stopped at her desk. She began to shift uncomfortably.

"Good morning, Mr. Tashio" she greeted trying to sound normal.

"Kanna" he returned her greeting, looking at her. He noticed that she had changed her hair, a golden blond instead of the completely bleached blond she usually wore. But it was the scent on her that caught his attention. A familiar, disgusting stench that he hated, just smelling it made him angry, remembering the man whom the scent belonged to.

Brushing the incident of her being late aside, considering it was her first, he continued towards his office and heard a sigh of relief escaping from her lips. Besides, it was none of his business whom she slept with, even if it was Smith.

.........~..............

After his shower Smith got dressed to go shopping but not before he downed the cup of sake that Kanna left on the kitchen counter. He'd always made a habit of bringing home gifts for his wife during his 'business trips' and this time was no different. However, he also wanted to buy something nice for Kanna as well. He wanted her to dress in something ravishing when he takes her to dinner later that night.

He went to Shinjuju district in Tokyo and visited their Takashimaya shopping center. Walking around he noticed the La Perla line of lingerie and he'd always appreciated a pretty woman in fine Italian lingerie. The sight of Kanna this morning in her garter belt tiltilated him and he wanted more. He entered the boutique.

"Good afternoon sir. Can I help you find something?" The salesgirl greeted.

He waved her off with a 'No thanks' and went browsing by himself. Coming around the corner of one of the stands, she caught his eyes. The same young woman he'd seen yesterday. He couldn't believe it. She was browsing around looking at several underwear and bras. He watched her from the corner of his eyes all the while pretending to look for gifts for a 'special someone'. He noticed that she had on long black slacks, cuffed at the hem. Her chiffon top of butterfly and orchid prints, with a reverse Juliet sleeves that tied with satin straps at her wrists. The chiffon top revealed her perky breast peaking over her beautiful black bra.

She was breathtakingly beautiful he thought. But why did she feel so familiar to him? He was sure they'd never met, and he wanted to change that. Striding confidently over, he was about to approach her when her phone rang. He watched as she dug into her Hermes handbag to pull out her phone. He knew the handbag too well, considering he'd spent 10K US dollars for his wife's identical handbag.

"Higurashi," she answered.

Even her voice, he'd somehow heard it before he realized. He watched in awe as she ruffled through her gorgeous raven black hair, her slender fingers sliding through her locks with ease. He wanted so terribly to reach out and run his fingers through them. I bet they feel like the softest threads made of silk, he drooled.

He couldn't hear the other end, so he moved the hangers of the items around while still staying close to eavesdrop. Higurashi huh? If she's daughter of Higurashi International then, he'll make up some excuse to go see the company and get to know her, perhaps court her even. HI after all, had to go through his shipping companies for all international shipments. His groin twitched, thinking of how much he wanted to feel himself between her legs.

"Oh no, not that one. I'd like to dine at Aragawa for 7PM, please. Thank you very much!" She hung up and went to pay for her things at the counter.

"Sasumi, please send these to the usual address in America, and I'd like to take these" she instructed the salesgirl, whom she seemed to be familiar with.

"Yes, Ms. Higurashi" Sasumi took the merchandise and set about to wrap them to be shipped. Saying a quick 'thank you' and waving bye to the salesgirl, she darted out the shop before he even had the chance to befriend her.

Aragawa huh? Looks like he and Kanna will be dining there. Unfortunately for him, when he called to make the reservation, the hostess informed him that he needed to book the reservation a few months in advance.

Smith did not know that Aragawa was a small and modest steak-house, located in the Shinbashi district of Tokyo, but one of Japan's high end and finest. Their infamous Wagyu (Kobe) beef, was their only entrée. A succulent beef, courtesy of pampered, sake-feed cow, and the entrée was simply served with pepper and mustard. Each bite of the delicious beef melted in one's mouth like butter, luring the customer's taste buds to a heaven like no other.

He didn't care, he'll be damned if he couldn't get into a restaurant, no matter how exclusive. He called Naraku and told him that it had to happen. With an irritated grunt Naraku called the restaurant, and told the manager to put Smith in his usual reserved table.

Smith arrived at the restaurant early. He left instructions for Kanna to change into the dress he'd bought her and meet him at Aragawa. He sat at the long bar sipping on scotch and looking at the door waiting for her to arrive.

She did.

Kagome came within thirty minutes of Smith and was greeted by the hostess. A soft whisper came out her lips as she blushed and was guided toward her reserved table. He saw that she was wearing the same thing she had on earlier at La Perla and damn, did she look amazing in it! He felt his pulse racing, and another headache coming on. Strange, I seem to get a lot of headaches each time I see her. The hostess guided her into a private hidden table and closed the Shoji door half way.

He moved to tell the hostess he was ready for his table and to get a better look at Kagome. Luckily, Naraku was able to get one of the high end reservation table, which was not far from where her private table was. He looked inside and caught a glimpse of her, but she was busy, running her fingers through her hair, ruffling it. She reached inside her bag and pulled out a brush to run through her long tress, and then double-checking herself in her compact mirror. You don't need all that, he thought. She was glowing and she looked ravishing! He drooled and felt his groin twitching with an empty ache. He destituted his glass of alcohol and ordered another to sooth his on coming arousal.

He turned as not to stare and sipped on his new glass scotch. He couldn't believe what he was doing. He'd already sacrifice his name and money to get to Eden and yet he was completely obsessed with this new girl he'd seen across the street a day before. He always knew he had a high and unusual libido but this was insane, even he had to admit. Lost in his own thoughts, he almost choked on his drink when he saw Sesshoumaru at the hostess desk. The hostess bowed and greeted the Youkai respectfully and then guided him toward the same private room that Kagome was in.

No wonder Naraku wants to get even, Smith thought. Seeing that Sesshoumaru was with this young woman; when a few nights ago Smith had learned that Naraku's daughter was pregnant with Sesshoumaru's child. How despicable! Smith judged the 'dirty' CEO. Yeah, sure he fucked around on his wife, but he'd never turn his back on a pregnant woman, especially if she was carrying his child!

He wasn't sure if he'd been noticed because Sesshoumaru made no attempt to greet him or any hint he'd even seen him. He just walked straight toward the private room with his infamous stoic face and cocky swagger. The door slid open and he noticed the girl rose from her seat and bowed to greet Sesshoumaru - with the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen. That smile could put the sun to shame, Smith thought. Yet, again, it was strangely familiar and he was met with another throbbing headache. Why does my heart yearn so? Smith pained. He took another sip of his drink when the hostess walked up to him with Kanna in tow. He tried not to let the disappointment showed on his face that it was Kanna and not the Higurashi girl. He greeted her with a smile and stood to hold the chair for her, waited for her to settle in before pushing it close to their table.

"Hey handsome," Kanna greeted him with low sexy voice. He smiled in return....

…..

"I'd like the chocolate bento box for dessert, please." Kagome ordered from the waitress.

"Two orders sir?" the waitress asked Sesshoumaru.

"No. Just…" Sesshoumaru began..

"Yes, two orders!" Kagome interrupted excitedly, throwing a large smile at her mate. She didn't know why but she's been craving chocolates like crazy. Sure, she'd always loved chocolate, but even she had to think she was going a little overboard with it. She'd been so consumed in her life she didn't even realized the red circle on her calendar at home, marking her period, had been 5 days ago now. She'd even forgotten about the pills he gave her that she never took.

"Two it is then" he told the waitress. Kagome shrugged when Sesshoumaru looked over at her. Just as well, he thought, at least it'll help her gain some of her weight back. Although he'd really prefer her to eat something healthier.

Their waitress returned shortly after with the two chocolate bento boxes and he watched in awe as his mate practically inhaled the large sweet desert whole. She moved to the second box without even stopping for a break. He pushed the cup of green tea toward her and she laughed.

"Sorry. Don't mean to be a pig" she apologized.

"No need, mate. I'm glad you're getting your appetite back. Would you like anything else?" he offered.

"Mmm…" she tapped her lip with her finger and thought it over. "Perhaps another order of Wagyu beef" she requested. His eyes shot wide open, and he chuckled lightly at his mate's insatiable appetite. I have been unrelenting in bed with her...

He called for the waitress and ordered her food. Picking up the glass of sake he sipped it while the waitress took notes on their order.

After the waitress left, she excused herself to go to the bathroom. Getting up, the room started to spin, she felt dizzy and lost her balance. Luckily, her mate caught her before she landed on anything. Settling her back down he looked over at her, worried.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

Narrowing her eyes out of confusion, she nodded softly. She turned to look at her mate and saw that his eyes suddenly widen from shock.

"Kagome," he called her softly.

"Hmm?" She moved to sit up on her own and he pulled her back into his arms.

"Your scent….it's… changed."

"Changed?" she asked him confused.

"Mate, you're with…" he was confused and befuddled. "pup…" he finished but she noticed that he wasn't happy about it.

"Sesshoumaru?" she called tears brimming behind her lids. Does he not want me to have his pup? Why isn't he happy about it? I am his mate after all….

"Kagome…" he wiped the lone tear sliding down her cheek. "Not like that, mate" he reassured her.

"What do you mean?" she asked, letting her tears flow freely now.

"Shh…Shh…Shh…Please Kagome, I can't take it when you cry."

She wiped her tears away. "Well you're…" she was so quick to accuse.

"Kagome, your scent, it's different…" he tried to explain.

"What do you mean Sesshoumaru? Shouldn't it be if I am pregnant with your pup?" she raised her voice a little, but not too loud for two reasons. His sensitive ears and she didn't want to attract others from outside into her personal business.

"Yes, but it's different from that of Kagura. I don't understand this…" he told her, still not sure of what was happening. Could it be because of Mother's blood?

"Huh?" she was confused of what he meant.

"Unless…." he began and she quickly followed his drift and gasped.

"But Sesshoumaru, couldn't you sense that it's not your blood if the pregnancy wasn't yours?" she asked. She knew a little bit from reading about DaiYoukai's pregnancy and birth from what she read in her office earlier.

"That's what I don't understand. I sensed my blood, but it's different from the way that I am sensing it in you now" he was indignant that Kagura had tried something so sneaky and low, but he didn't put it past her either. Sesshoumaru bit a growl of hostility toward the hanyou. He wanted to rush out of the restaurant and choke the woman until she turned purple. The nerves! I'll have to clear this mess up fast! Sesshoumaru planned, his eyes flickering a crimson.

"Sesshoumaru?" his mate's voice brought him back to reality. He didn't want to ruin their dinner and subsided his belligerence toward Kagura. The audacity of that wench! It's going to take much of him not to kill her when he sees her again. He didn't want to be involved in a murder, though he wanted so badly to rip the low life hanyou in half.

The waitress brought in her entree just then and he helped his mate sit up, making sure that she was sturdy in her seat. The waitress was shock to see such affection from the Dai but she said nothing.

Poking at her entrée with her chopstick Kagome frowned, she'd lost her appetite and wanted to leave. Tired she just wanted to be home with him, her mind racing about the pregnancy. I haven't even told my family I'm mated yet, and now the pregnancy? They paid their bill and left with his hand supporting her lower back when suddenly, Smith 'accidentally bumped' into them near the hostess's table.

"Tashio!" he exclaimed.

Kagome was shocked to see him and moved closer to Sesshoumaru. "Smith" Sesshoumaru's cold detached voice greeted Smith.

"Fancy seeing you here!" he exclaimed, pretending to be shocked before looking over at Kagome and smiled, "I'm Darien Smith, Tashio's business partner from America" Smith introduced himself to Kagome (seeing that Sesshoumaru was not making an effort to introduce them.) Kagome gave him an uncomfortable forced smile and bowed to greet him instead of taking his offered hand. He pulled it back and smiled at her, staring, swallowing hard. Sesshoumaru growled in irritation at the disrespectful man. Kagome could feel her mate's anger and she didn't want yet another physical confrontation. She was about to lead him away when the bathroom door opened

"I'm ready to go!" Kanna announced coming out of the ladies' room, bumping into Smith as she was fumbling through her purse. Looking up, she saw Sesshoumaru and her face paled in color. Smith watched as Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow at the sight of Kanna. He smirked at Sesshoumaru thinking he'd somehow managed to bed the infamous 'Eden'. And that somehow, at the moment Sesshoumaru was extremely jealous of him. In his eyes, both women looked almost identical, he really believed Kanna to be 'Eden'. While the rest of the world saw the truth, unbound by Naraku's spell.

"Mis....Mister Tashio" Kanna bowed, swallowing hard. Sesshoumaru sensed the nervousness and slight fear emitting from her body. Her heart began to thump rapidly.

"Kanna" Sesshoumaru nodded.

Kanna looked over at Kagome and the girls exchange a smile. Smith couldn't believe that Sesshoumaru knew Eden's real name. He was irked by this, he thought Kanna had said that Sesshoumaru meant nothing to her!

"My mate, Kagome Tashio" Sesshoumaru introduced her with emphasis on his last name.

"Mrs. Tashio," Kanna greeted.

Kagome threw up an arm and let loose an awkward laugh, "Please, Kanna, don't be so formal!" Her voice a high pitch squeal. "Kagome will do! How are you?"

"Oh, I'm well, thank you Mrs..er..Kagome," Kanna smiled uncomfortably as she shifted side to side.

Sesshoumaru raised another eyebrow at Kanna, sensing her nervousness. He was wondering what Smith was doing with his assistant. Or rather, how the two had gotten mix up together. But Smith's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Shouldn't you be at home with the woman carrying your child Sesshoumaru?" Smith spatted his tongue about, trying to blow Sesshoumaru's 'two-timing' cover.

"Not that it's any of your concern, Smith, but since you mentioned it, I am with my mate, the only woman carrying my pup!" Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru and smiled. She was very excited about carrying his bit down on her lower lip as her face turned crimson. Kanna's eyes shot up, wide with shock. He knows about Kagura? Shit! Kanna darted her eyes around frantically.

"Huh?" Smith was confused. He thought Naraku's daughter was pregnant, and he knew Kagome was not Naraku's daughter! "Good grace Tashio! Just how many women do you get pregnant at once?" Smith asked rudely.

Suddenly the room began to spin for Kagome again and she stumbled grabbing hold onto her mate's arm for support. Ignoring everyone, he lifted his mate and carried her home.

"Mate huh?" Smith asked under his breath after the other two left.

"His wife" Kanna explained knowing he wasn't familiar with demon mating.

Kagome, I've got to have you all to myself, Smith plotted smiling at the vision of him fucking Sesshoumaru's wife.

Oh, the drama! Don't forget to write your reviews! ~TS.
