It had been three weeks since spice had rained down on earth. But that was not what had Kagome fidgeting. No, that would be the hard, intense glare she was receiving from Sesshomaru. One that clearly said he was not amused and very disappointed in her. Though for what she had not a clue.

"Miko, Kagome, do you have something to tell this Sesshomaru?" He asked. His tone was letting her know she'd only get this one chance to come clean.

Swallowing to attempt to calm her nerves, Kagome smiled as she tried to keep the giggle that escaped her lips from doing so. "Uh... yes..." she muttered in a squeaky voice.

When all she got was a single eyebrow lifted as if to tell her to continue silently. Kagome sighed and shifted from foot to foot.

"Uh... the night before spice fell, I got blitzed... and slept with a guy, " she quickly blurted out.

The sight of Sesshomaru just leaning back, calmly looking at her as he rested his hands on the desk between them.

"And?" he asked.

Confused, Kagome tilted her head to the side and just looked at him. Earning a sigh that spoke volumes.

"How can you have not noticed? I've waited for the last two weeks for you to come to me, Kagome." He said. "Your scent has changed drastically."

Scrunching her brow, Kagome thought about what he had just said. Only to feel light-headed. The world swam as the meaning of his words sank in. Raising her hands to her stomach, she sent a small burst of her Reiki into her abdomen, only to confirm he spoke the truth. Next thing she knew, she was being carried to the small loveseat and set down.

"I... I... baby?" she exclaimed in shock.

The look he sent her showed his exasperation. Though she could see the hurt in his eyes. Over the years, she'd gotten incredibly close with him. And while he had openly expressed his desires, she had not returned them. And now, thanks to a one night stand, she had a major problem.

"I know the father is not human, Kagome. You know the laws. Monsters, demons, and humans are forbidden from breeding with each other. It was the price of your wish," he said.

This caused her to flinch back from him. Tears were springing to her eyes, burning them.

"I..." she started to say but was stopped as he cupped her face in his hands.

"No, from the video in the bar that night, I know who you slept with. Who the father is. And I refuse to let you abort this child. I will claim it as my own Kagome," he said.

Though the way she saw his eyes go cold like they used to be all the time, she was not going to like what he said next.

"But you cannot stay here. You are going to be exiled to the gourmet world. Or rather, the Hex village where the old Dharma hermit lives. He is willing to take you in, help you, and that child," he said.

She wanted to scream and rave at him. To deny it. Demand to abort the child. But he was right to deny her that. Because she would regret it almost instantly, this was her chance of having a child since she knew she was unable to breed with another human. Her body had been changed after that wish. She was neither human or demons or monster. No, she was something between them all. The fulcrum that held the world together.

Hanging her head, she spoke, "When do you want me to leave?"

It was silent for a while before he lifted her head to look her in the eyes. There was pain that he would not show to anyone. That he didn't want to have her leave his side. Yes, they were lovers, but for her, it was a comfort. Him, it was because he felt for her. A far cry from the past that no longer existed. Earth had a whole new history, thanks to her wish. A fucked up history, but it worked.

"The sooner, the better. No sooner than the day after tomorrow. I want you to travel there in comfort," he said.

She frowned, narrowing her eyes. This was her mess, her problem. Being coddled was not what she wanted. And she was more than capable of taking care of herself, thank you very much. So, in a sudden emotional fit of spite, she shook her head no.

"I will be leaving at first light tomorrow morning. I will go on my own. I would rather roam the land on the way to the Hex Village. And, Sesshomaru, I mean it, I want to go alone. As penance of sorts," she stated.

His face hardened, eyes tinting red in his flash of anger before he sighed, stood up, and turned his back to her. It was his way of accepting her demand and dismissing her. Sniffing softly, Kagome stood up and left the office. There was a lot she had to do. But in the morning, she would leave this place that she had called home for over twenty years — hiding away from the people, so they didn't find out that she never aged.

Spice had fallen, and it was done and over with. The four heavenly kings have gone to train. Meaning he should do the same. Maybe a quick visit to Hex Village to see the Dharma Hermit. Then off to the mountain to see his family. But his mind slowly crept back to that blue-eyed, black-haired vixen. He'd heard several people talking about a young lady who fit that description. He didn't care. She made her choice when she woke up and left him alone.

The law was set. He knew he sinned, but as no one was coming for him. It meant she had said nothing. A plus in her favor as he frowned and shoved the thoughts of the witch from his head. There were more important things for him to be doing at the moment. So, giving a soft sigh, Brunch set off to go to the Gourmet World, Hex village. While there, he could check on how own restaurant was doing.

TBC!
