Time skip 3 weeks...
I had been out of the doctor's for two and a half weeks. Unfortunately, Sesshomaru still wouldn't let me do anything. He wasn't as strict as before, but I still wasn't allowed to play outside while it was raining!
I walked to Akemi's crib and lifted her up, holding her close to me. "Hello, my bright and beautiful child." I cooed her for almost half an hour before a maid came in to take her. I guess lords and ladys didn't personally raise their children, because if I held my daughter for even a little hile, a maid came to take her away.
"No, I want her." I told the maid. She nodded and left, looking completly surprised. I kept a grip on my baby and turned away anyone who reached for her, except the last pair. Kagome smiled widely at me, rocking Akemi back and forth. She didn't hand her back until she started wailing, wanting food.
I groaned and took Akemi back to my bedroom to nurse her. She was only three weeks, but being a demon, she had super sharp teeth, and man did they hurt! I sigh when she was finally done and asleep. I layed her back in the crib, careful not to wake her up. I leaned against the crib, watching her sleep for a couple minutes.
Rain droplets splashing against the window caught my attention and I moved toward the wonderful sound. It was just starting to sprinkle, and no one was outside. 'Think mr grouchy pants will notice if I sneak outside?'
'Probably, but at least you can have fun for a couple of minutes!' Inner encouraged.
'Yeah, and maybe if I go in the woods, I'll have a little more time, since he won't see me.'
'There's my devious girl! Oh, how you've missed you, ever since you were replaced by a love sick puppy!'
I laughed at my inner demon's antics and double checked the room to make sure it was empty, then steathly opened the balcony door, slipping outside. I jumped over the railing and ran into the edge of the woods as fast as I could, hoping nobody had seen me. I ran further into the woods, ignoring the small twigs that slapped my skin as I ran by. I barely even felt the slight sting, and finally emerged into a small clearing.
There were beautiful flowers of all different shapes and color. There was a huge spring almost in the middle of the field, with lilpads topped with purple buds scattered throughout it. On the oppisite side of the hot spring there stood a tall, strong looking weeping willow.
I ran around the field, ignoring my wet shirt clinging to my chest, my pants doing the same on my legs. My hair acted like it was super glued to my head. I picked flowers, did flipps, skipped around, and jumped through the trees. I even tied a buch of willow branches together and swung from them.
Sesshomaru suddenly appeared next to me, and he looked really angry. His eyes were still a beautiful golden color, but there was a slight red edge to them. He was REALLY mad, and I had no idea why. I've disobeyed more serious orders from him and he was never this mad. It was completely unjustified.
"Sesshomaru?" I asked, hoping he'd snap out of it.
He growled before picking me up and running me back to the castle. I anxiously awaited the scolding he was sure to give me, but it never came. "Do not do that again."
I thought of yelling at him for treating me like a little kid, but his behavior was so...unusual. i was worried about him, and I wanted to know the cause of it. 'Maybe Sesshomaru's stepping stool, Jaken, will know.'
'It's worth a try. I'll ask Sesshomaru whats wrong.'
"Sesshomaru?" I asked. I could hear the worry and slight fear in my voice. He must have heard it too, because his expression became calmer.
"JUst do as I say little one, and don't go running around in the rain. He looked me up and down before smirking and picking me up bridal style. "Although I do approve of your appearence afterwords."
I blushed lightly and smiled. My good dog was back. "Sesshomaru, take me to our baby." I layed my head on his chest and enjoyed the rain while I still could.
Which, with Sesshomaru's amazing speed, only took a few minutes. I sighed as he opened the balcony door I had escaped from, forcing me to leave the rain. He set me back on the floor and I started toward Akemi's crib, but was pullled back by Sesshomaru and into the huge closet. "Get out of your wet clothes." He commanded.
"But I don't wanna!" I pouted, crossing my arms. Before I realized what had happened, my clothes were shedded and laying everywhere, including my underwear. Sesshomaru handed me and outfit consisting of a black tshirt, blue jeans, a black belt, and black boots. I hestiantly took the clothes and dressed, not caring that Sesshomaru was, well, staring a little.
I rolled my eyes and walked to the crib, taking my baby into my arms. She awoke as soon as I brushed my hands against her soft skin, laughing from her happines. A knock on the door got my attention and Sesshomaru went to answer it, revealing a smiling Kagome. "Hi, I hope I'm not interupting anything, I wanted to see Akemi. She's just so cute!" She squealed.
I smiled at her, motioning her to me, then passing the baby to her. She smiled at the little bundle of joy, but gasped suddenly. "What is it!" I asked, hopeing nothing was wrong with Akemi.
"H-her eyes...they..." She trailed off, not taking her eyes off the baby. I walked next to her and my eyes widened with surprise. She had my blue eyes. But..that's not possible, demon babies always had their father's eye color!
"How is that even possible?" I asked, talking to no one in particular. No answer was given to me.
"I don't know...but I think it looks good." Sesshomaru answered.
"Me too." Kagome agreed.
'What about asking Jaken why Sesshomaru was freaking out?' Inner reminded me.
'Thanks, I had completly forgotten.' I thought, then smiled to Kagome and Sesshomaru.
"I'll be back guys, I want to tell Rin." I lied. Kagome fell for it, but I think Sesshomaru was a little unsure. He let the matter go without questioning, to my extreme pleasure, and I ran out the door, following a scent trail of jaken's.
I finally found the annoying toad demon, sleeping under the tree. "Jaken!" I called, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Yes, milady?" I could hear how he much he didn't like to address me as such.
"Jaken, listen. Does Sesshomaru have any reason why he does not allow me outside while it rains?" I asked, getting straight to the point.
"..." He stared at me for a moment, then sighed, looking to the ground. "Sesshomaru use to love another woman before you." he began. I sat on the ground next to him, focusing on ever word he spoke.
"She was a beautiful demoness, with a pleasant personality. She had long, shiny black hair that came down to the back of her knees, and onyx eyes that seemed to sparkle. Her patience was never ending, and she was a quiet person, though powerful. Not so much as you now, but close. Well, she loved to play in the rain and go swimming, like you, but she eventually got sick because of it..." He paused here to sigh. "Unfortunatly, she was not able to overcome the diease and died as a result. I beg of you milady, not to do the same. It's a miracle that my master ever loved another person as much as his fromer lover, Miu, and I do not think he could do it again." He looked saddened, leading me to believe that he enjoyed his former lady.
"oh...I'm sorry I asked, Jaken." I apologized.
"No, it's about time you learned." He said, then stood up to walk away. I just sat there, thinking about what he said. I would have thought Sesshomaru having another lover would irratate me, but I didn't. I was brought out of my thoughts by a familar scent. 'oh no!' I thought frantically.
I ran to the castle, greeted halfway by both sesshomaru and Kagome. "What, what is it?" Kagome asked.
"Inuyasha." I answered simply and she gasped.
