He watched her sleep before clothing himself. He had not intended on sleeping with her this night. He instincts had kicked in, she was after all, his mate. He walked to the window and flew out, leaving once again.

He didn't make it far

"Will you leave her again" Sesshomaru turned to see his father standing by a tree not looking at him. Sesshomaru waited for a second before trying to leave again. "You took her again" His father words stopped him again "She was willing" Sesshomaru told him. "Do you still wish to deny her?"

His father was serious right now, this was no joke nor tease. "She is my mate"

His father turned around "This I know, that is not what am speaking of son"

Sesshomaru looked away "Your grandson will arrive soon" Sesshomaru could feel it.

"Will you deny him as you do his mother?"

Sesshomaru growled, how dare his father think he would deny is own son. "Go Sesshomaru, leave her again, deny her as you do my son...and one day when you return she will be gone, gone to another who will protect her, love her and they will have the power you seek"

With that his father turned around and walked back to the castle. He knew his soon would listen, but he knew his son did not always hear. Sesshomaru watched his father walk away before turning and taking him leave.

Morning came and Kagome opened her eyes. She did not even have to look over to know he was gone. At first she thought maybe it a dream, but her body told her otherwise. Kagome sighed. A knock came to her door and Kagome sat up "Yes"

"It's me Kagome" Sango's voice rang out "Come in"

Sango opened the door and closed it quick, but in the time that it was open Kagome could hear yelling. "Inuyasha" Kagome whispered.

---

"You let him leave again!!" Inuyasha yelled. His father looking out a window "He will return"

"Yeah and then what?? he will leave again!" Inuyasha spat out "Inuyasha" Miroku placed his hand on Inuyasha shoulder "What monk"

"Are you angry?" Miroku asked.

"What are you dumb monk?"

"So tell me then my friend, when it was you doing it to her-

"Finish that sentence monk" Inuyasha warned. Inuyasha felt bad enough. "I was just trying to make a point my friend"

Inuyasha crossed his arms "Should we not go after him" Inuyasha asked.

"No, he will return" His father stated once again. Inuyasha huffed and walked out of the room. Miroku sighed "Do not worry monk"

"But I do"

"What do you think monk"

"I'm sorry?"

"What do you think of this? of her, her feelings, of him? his feelings?" He was still looking out the window. Miroku looked at his back and sighed again "Kagome is a devoted person, this I know, she will fall in love with him, if she has not already, she has taken to him"

"And what of my son?"

"I don't know him as well as I do Inuyasha, but even tho they hate each other, they are still brothers and are more alike then they would like to admit"

"Lets hope not"

It was late at night, and she was taking a bath. The large in door hot spring felt good. Her belly round as it was going to get. Kagome smiled as she rubbed warm water over her womb, it felt good. But the feeling didn't last long. Kagome's breath caught in her chest and she held her womb "oh" Kagome laid one hand on a large rock to hold herself up. "Am, am I in labor?" She was afraid.

--

He ran fast, he knew his son was coming and he felt his mate in stress. He was angry with himself for leaving her alone. Sesshomaru growled as he sped up.

--

Sesshomaru burst through the gates and into the castle "Where is she!" He said deep. Inuyasha gave him a odd look "She is in the bath" Sango stated. "Something wrong my son?"

"Fools" Was all he said as he dashed to the room. "Woman" he called but she did not reply, he burst in the hot spring and found her trying to hold herself up on a rock. With a blink he was next to her. "Sesshomaru" She said out of breath "He's, he's coming" She said looking at him. Sesshomaru growled and picked her up bridal style "No Sesshomaru, put me down"

He looked at her "The water Sesshomaru, put me back in the water" He lowered her back into the water, her arms still around his neck. The spring door open "Leave us!" Sesshomaru snapped. He was angry at everyone for leaving her alone, but no one more than himself.
