Ainz leaned back against the bath's edge. His gaze looked at the others who had joined him. Mare was swimming around, and Demiurge and Sesshomaru were silent(for once) and relaxing like he was. The slimes were cleaning him, so Aina let himself feel blissful.

In a few days, Emperor Jircniv would give his reply, or war would ensue. Not that it wasn't going to happen anyway.

"I'll agree with you on that, Shalltear."

Ainz shifted and sat up straighter when he heard Albedo's voice from the women's bath. His mind instantly recalled what happened the last time and the amount of damage done. So casting a superstitious glance at his companions, Arinze noted their reactions.

Mare was pouting, shoulders hunched forward. It was to be expected since Aura and Albed rejected allowing him to join on girl time.

Sesshomaru was sitting a bit straighter, eyes narrowed as he looked towards the walled-off women's bath. Those Ainz could see the slight twitching of his nose before his lips curled into a feral-like smile.

Demiurge looked bored and disinterested. But Ainz could tell his ears were open and listening intently.

"Right! Lord Ainz is the very best man in all of Nazarick," Shalltear replied. "Don't you agree, Aura?"

"Yes, Lady Shalltear," Aura quipped as a loud splash resounded.

"Aura!" Albedo gasped in indignation.

The sound of laughing followed Albedo's words. Ainze knew it was Shalltear, Crush Lulu and Kagome.

"What? It's fun," Aura said, trying to defend herself. "And, Kagome, what's your opinion? Crush Lulu is already mated, so she is very biased."

Tilting his head, Ainz again watched Sesshomaru and Demiurge. Both had an interest, though for very different reasons, in Kagome.

"Mmmmm, Lord Ainz is indeed an interesting figure," Kagome said. "I do enjoy his company and that we share a few things in common. But he is not my type for a few reasons."

Ainz felt pleased with her words, though knowing he wasn't her type stung.

"Then who is? Or rather, who do you think is good-looking?" Albedo said, pressing the matter. "I know Lord Ainz will acknowledge my feelings for him one day, and we will have children."

Ainze bit back a groan as both Demiurge and Sesshomaru looked at him. Unsure of how to respond to the silent question in both of their gazes, he eventually shrugged his shoulders and leaned back against the bath again. Happy to project the image of not caring while still listening to the girl's conversation.

He stayed silent as Ainz acted nonchalant. But Sesshomaru was intrigued. And he could tell by smell alone that Kagome was shocked by Albedo's declaration about children.

"Miss Kagome?" Aura spoke up. "Are you alright?"

Sesshomaru could guess how she looked as her mind processed a living demon and undead breeding. Her mind was always fertile, and her curiosity boundless.

"Uh, yeah?"

The response was in question form. Sesshomaru shifted his gaze from Ainz to Demiurge and smiled as Kagome continued to speak. He was curious about what she'd claim to be her type. Since he felt his brother was not even on Kagome's list. He thought she needed a more mature male. The recklessness of youth had her falling for his idiot brother.

"My type. Well, anyone taller than me, for starters. I would like it if they could be kind and courteous yet stubborn," Kagome said. Her words slowly formed as she spoke her thoughts. "They definitely have to be strong and sure of themselves. Being smart is another bonus. I've come to understand I am highly attracted to smart men. Even if they are assholes. Which is fine since it gives a bit of spice to the relationship."

Silence hung heavy in the air. Sesshomaru smiled at what was said.

"Lady Kagome, you are saying you'd prefer a strong, smart, dominant man with decent looks?" Shalltear asked.

"Hmm, yes. I know there are very few in existence," Kagome answered. "But it is what it is. Though I do have a question."

Sesshomaru felt something was off with Kagome's reply. He was happy that her taste had changed(drastically so). For her, it had been only three years(after going down the well to her time), but for him, it had been almost four hundred.

"Yes, Lady Kagome, what are you curious about?" Albert asked. Her voice lilted to show her own curiosity.

Sesshomaru stopped his thoughts and continued to listen.

"How are you supposed to have a child with Lord Ainz? He is an undead Lich Wizard of the highest order. Also, Lord Ainz is a walking skeleton. There are no internal organs, thus no man-bits to perform the act of coitus with you," Kagome asked.

Her question caused Sesshomaru to feel flustered as he looked at the others, Ainz in particular.

"is there some kind of magical ceremony you'd have to perfo-"

When Kagome trailed off, there was a small spike of her Holy Power before his ears caught the soft 'oh!'

"Lady Kagome?" Albedo, Shalltear, and Aura asked in unison.

The soft giggle that came from Kagome made Sesshomaru flinch. He wondered if this was divine intervention.

"There is... and I can help. But, and only but, if Lord Ainz is willing to sire a child with you," Kagome stated succinctly.

At Kagome's words, Sesshomaru looked at Lord Ainz's own Goal. Who had slumped (in a very undignified manner) into the bath? As if he was trying to hide. Demiurge and mare looked both amused to see their Lord acting like this. Yet there was horror mixed in on Demiurge's face.

000000

Kagome was still getting used to being one with the Shikon no Tama and hearing random bits of knowledge from the MiTama, plus the knowledge of this world. A world her own called a fantasy. Yet she truly enjoyed the people of Nazarick. Well, most people.

"Lady Kagome, you mean that?"

At Albedo's shocking words, Kagome smiled and nodded her head. But a loud booming voice kept her from speaking as the door to the women's bath burst open.

Narrowing her eyes, hand rising to the surface of the bath water, Kagome faced a large creature. She stood, body tensing as she readied herself to attack.

000000

He felt conflicted over everything he heard. But the sharp tingling of Holy power for a second as an idiot invaded the female bath(again). Then a foreign word rang out in a shrill feminine voice and had Demiurge stiffening. His gaze bounced between the Demon Lord and Lord Ainz, who was chuckling softly to themselves.

He did not like being left out. What had been said? Why was it so funny that Kagome screamed it?

Before he could ask, another loud boom echoed as the wall between the baths seemed to bend towards them before it gave and crumbled. It resulted in a splash that briefly blocked his view.

Taking his glasses off, Demiurge flicked them to clear the water from the lenses before putting them back on. Once he could see, he saw Albedo, Shalltear, and Aura staring wide-eyed at Kagome. Who was wrapped in a wet towel, eyes glowing silver-blue at the now unconscious idiot floating in the men's bath?

"Some Things haven't changed, I see."

"Indeed, Lord Sesshomaur. But what has is her physical strength."

"Yes. It seems Kagome will need to spend time training to control that and her temper lest Nazarick takes damage. For Kagome has never suffered perverts well."

Narrowing his eyes, Demiurge met the sharp gaze of the Demon Lord. Only to see Sesshomaru's amber-gold gaze locked onto him. It left Demiurge with a sense of being insulted, yet not.

TBC!
