Whispers...

Last time:
She let Rin and Shippou tackle her, soon joined by Sesshomaru. They all barked and yipped happily, forgetting the outside world and simply having fun together.
Chapter Thirty-Six - A Pup?
Everyone stared as Sesshomaru stood and glared at them all. Sango and Miroku sat, backs straight, with cold, hard, and unforgiving faces. Inuyasha sat behind them on a higher level, hisback straight, his face void of any emotion, his arms and legs crossed, and Tetsusaiga resting peacefully at his side. Kirara sat straight up, her blood red eyes staring at the males who had double crossed her.
Kagome sat beside Sesshomaru, who was currently standing. She watched as he slowly made his way down the small isle with the grace that only Sesshomaru could perfect. She was glaring with heated emotions running across her face at the men who had, in truth, pratically killed her children.
"Give me one good reason why I should slaughter every one of you where you are seated," Sesshomaru stated, his voice monotone and eyes emotionless. All in all, Kagome would say he had the perfect poker face. A rather sexy one at that.
"My lord," the one in the center said, "we had no idea Shusse would commit such an act against you."
"Honestly," another one said, "my lord, none of us had even noticed he had disappeared."
"Do you take I, Lord Sesshomaru, Taiyoukai ruler of all the west, to be a fool?"
"No, my Lord," another said.
"From this day forth," Sesshomaru said, pacing back and forth in front of them, "councils across the land are forbidden. The Lord will deal with all political issues and so forth. You will be banished and Tobi will be given back his place at his thrown in the East. All taiyoukai, daiyoukai, and Lords are to know of the treachery the many councils have commited against us and I guarantee you they will put a stop to all of your foolish acts. As for my mate," he said, "she will remain here with me and none of you have any say in what goes on. You have until morning to gather your belongings and leave the palace."
Kagome stood and walked up to her mate. She placed her arms around his left arm and leaned her head against his forearm. When she looked at them, she glared, "I don't ever want to see your faces around here again." With that, she escorted her lord out of the room, but the others remained in the room.
"Come," Miroku said, standing and holding a hand out to Sango. "We are to escort you to your quarters and guard you until it is time for your departure."
Inuyasha nodded his head in agreement and stood as well. The former council rose to their feet and were escorted out of the room and to their own rooms by the trio.
"So that bad people are gone now?" Rin asked.
"Yes, Sweetie," Kagome said, leaning down to pick her up, "they are all gone and won't ever come back."
"Yay!" Rin said, wrapping he arms around her new mommy. She was so happy to finally have her family. Even if it was small, it was still growing. She had a big brother (even though her big brother was a good two head shorter than she), a beautiful mother, and a father who loved her even before she could remember!
"Are you alright?" Kagome asked. Sesshomaru had been acting strangely ever since they had awoken that morning. Every time they were alone, he'd wrap his arms around her waist and rub her sides and tummy nonstop.
"Hn," Sesshomaru replied as he, once again, wrapped his arms around her stomach.
"Mama," Shippou said, wrinkling his nose, "you smell funny."
Kagome blinked. "What do you mean?" She asked.
"I don't know," Shippou said, crinkling his nose even further to try and get a better sniff. Sesshomaru growled, causing Shippou and Kagome to jump.
"Alright, what has gotten into you?" Kagome asked, turning aroun in his arms and placing Rin between them.
Sesshomaru took Rin and set her on the ground and did the same with the kit who had climbe atop his shoulder. "Go play in the gardens," he said, "and stay away from the thorn bushes."
"Okay!" Rin said and grabbed Shippou's hand before racing out into the hall.
Kagome crossed her arms and furrowed her eyebrows, "I'm waiting."
"For what?" Sesshomaru asked with of his drop-dead gorgeous smirks.
"I'm waiting for an explanation as to why you have been acting so strange today," Kagome said. "Oh, and I sent a few of the soldiers to go retrieve your people from the tunnel. I didn't think you would remember seeing as how you were so preoccupied with everything else."
"Is that so?" Sesshomaru asked as he bent down and nuzzled her neck.
That was another thing he kept doing and, honestly, it was beginning to irritate her. "Would you stop that?" Kagome said, clearly annoyed. She pushed him away gently. "I want you to tell me what's going on through that head of yours, Mister."
"Hmm," he said as he reclined into his bed. "How utterly gorgeous you are, what a beautiful, strong mate I have, how life is beginning to change as we know it."
"You liar," Kagome said, climbing onto the bed besie him, "you can't lie to me, Sesshomaru. Care to tell me what's really on your mind?"
"Hn," he said, rolling onto his side in her direction and stuffing his nose into her belly. "You are with pup."
Kagome froze a moment. A pup? Now? As in...she has a baby on the way? Kagome nearly fainted had it not been for the fact that Sesshomaru was currently nuzzling her tummy. "How do you know?"
"I can smell him," he said.
"Him?" Kagome asked.
"Hn," he said, burrying his face into her stomach.
Kagome giggled. A baby huh? She was going to be a mother soon. No, she was already a mother, but she was going to actually give birth to a baby! She was so happy, so excited, she could hardly contain it. She couldn't wait for the pup to be born! She had so much to do in so little time! Oh, if only her mother could see her! Then she would -
Kagome's train of thought broke off when two little munchkins ran in, screaming at the top of their lungs about the news. "I thought you two were outside playing."
Rin hugged her in a death grip whil Shippou bounced all over the place on the bed. "I'm getting a baby brother! I can't wait to show him all the neat games and tricks I can do!"
"I want a little sister!" Rin whined. "She can play dress up and we can make flower braids!"
Kagome giggled at their antics. "Well," Kagome said, "you never know, I just might have twins."
"Or quadruplets," Sesshomaru said with a contented growl.
The kids squealed in excitement. Yes, things were going to work out rather...swell. Just, swell.
