It was in the middle of the night when Kagome woke up, she felt something coming. She looked to his side, he never slept, so of course he was not there. Kagome quickly got out of bed, put on a robe and left them room.
The guard bowed "Everything ok my Lady?"
"Somethings coming, can't you feel it?"
He shook his head no and followed after her when she quickly walked off, his head would roll if something happened to her.
Kagome knew where to find him, he was in the book room, or as she called it 'the study'
She opened the door with the guard behind her. Sesshomaru looked up, he felt her coming and was quite confused when her guard followed suit.
"Something is coming" She said,
"It is the boy"
"Already?"
"Hn, we should wake the girl"
"If she is not already, I'll go"
Sesshomaru nodded at the guard and he followed behind her again, Sesshomaru put the book back and then followed. He walked outside, leaving Kagome to deal with the other girl, they would join him soon.
A group of horses came running his way, no doubt the demon in the front being the boy he called for. They came to a stop and he swiftly got off his horse "Lord Sesshomaru, you sent for me" He slightly bowed, a sign that he did not totally care for Sesshomaru.
"I may have something that belongs to you, my mate gathers her now"
"Her?" He looked confused,
Kagome and the girl ran arm in arm down the large hall, two big guards running after them, wishing the two pregnant women would slow down.
They burst through the doors and both came to a chilling stop. Kagome let go of the girl and stood next to her mate, and looked out to the man, he was shorter than she thought he would be.
The girl stood frozen.
"You call me for this?" The man asked confused,
"We have a slight problem"Sesshomaru told him "Her father left her in my care, we are hoping you may aid us" He hated using that word, but this chick had to leave, god was he hoping that same thing that Kagome was.
"She is no problem of mine, what aid could I give, if she is left in your care"
The girl started crying silent tears "Please don't say such cruel things!" She cried out, it made Kagome grab Sesshomaru's arm. The girl had such conviction in her. Sesshomaru looked down at his mate, who now held on to him, it was not something he was used to, but he liked it.
"I say nothing cruel, only the truth, what is it you call me for when you clearly have him"
She stopped her foot "I'm pregnant!" She yelled,
It was quite for a moment then he stepped one foot forward "And"
"I, I was hoping, I was hoping it was yours!" She said more shy,
"Hoping?" He then said "What does that mean"
This was the part in which Sesshomaru wished he could back out of, once again his mate would have to endure.
"We do not know if the child in her womb is of my making, or yours"
The mans eyes darted to Sesshomaru, his fist went tight, and Kagome noticed "Sesshomaru" She whispered,
He paid her no mind "I am hoping you can clear this up"
The man was blazing mad "What do I care, keep it" He then turned away.
"You would deny your own child?" Kagome asked, confused by the demons words. He turned around "I will not care for a whore"
Sesshomaru knew what was coming, and he would let her have her moment.
"What!" She snapped "As I recall you left her!" Kagome yelled.
"Kagome?" The girl asked, drying her tears.
"What does that have to do with anything!"
"She loves you and you denied her, what did you think was going to happen you idiot!" Kagome yelled,
"Mate, calm yourself" Sesshomaru didn't want her to worked up,
The man growled
"Did you hear what I said, I said she loves you"
It was clear the man was fighting "Is this true" He growled out,
The girls cheeks turned red and she looked down "Yes"
"Then why did you not tell me so"
She looked up "You, you said you where leaving, that you would not be back, you left me!"
"I would not have left without you had I know!" He barked out "Damn you woman!" He yelled at her, running his hands through his thick short brown hair.
"Come here" He then told her,
Kagome and Sesshomaru watched as the girl stalled,
"I said, come here"
She moved her feet and once again Kagome moved to hold Sesshomaru's arm and the closer the girl got to the boy, the tighter her hold was.
She reached the boy and his hand went to her tummy and his eyes closed.
Kagome held her breath,
"Breath woman" Sesshomaru nudge her,
"It is mine"
Kagome let out the breath "What?" Kagome asked, just to be sure.
"The child in her womb is mine"
Both women smiled, and if Sesshomaru where a smiling man, he would have been to.
"Lord Sesshomaru I ask to take her from your lands, give her to me for keeping"
Sesshomaru nodded and Kagome the girl exchanged smiles.
Night slowly turned into day, and Kagome yawn from her place on his lap, they had watched the sun rise and the girl leave, it was a new tomorrow.
"I wish we had conviction in our feelings like they did"
"You have plenty of conviction woman" She was laying against him, her head under his chin. They where outside, and heard the birds chirp.
Kagome leaned to sit up "When I am angry"
"And me?" He asked,
"When your killing"
"I fail to see your point here"
"They had conviction of love!" She said bright, and with a hopeful smile. He could have gotten up right then and called her crazy, but deep down he knew that today was a new day and the past was in the past, thank Kami.
"Kagome" He spoke her name and she looked deep at him.
"I once tried to kill you"
"I know"
"You had such conviction against me, to hold me back"
"I didn't hate you"
"Be not shy woman, tell me, with conviction as the girl did today"
Kagome blushed,
"You wish for me to share my feeling with you, yet you yourself are to shy"
"That why I said I WISH we had conviction like them"
"Do you not love me more than she loved him?" He asked serious,
Her heart skipped a beat, they had never spoken like this before, Kagome bit her lip and looked away, but he waited.
Kagome moved and straddled Sesshomaru, she then grabbed him by the collar and placed her mouth hot on his. He kissed her back, wrapping a hand around her long dark hair. The passion was there, the heat was there and in an instant she could feel him against her leg.
Kagome pulled back "I do love you" She stated simply,
His hand played with her hair "My father always told me that I had great conviction when it came to my hate, but tell me my mate, is not my love far greater?" He leaned in and kissed her just as she had done him. Kagome wrapped her grateful arms around his neck and pressed far closer to him and kissed him back with thankfulness and hardness,
For Sesshomaru had just told her, that he loved her to.
BEST CHAPTER EVER...just saying. Eat it up peeps, that's how Sesshomaru would do it!
