DEAD WHISPERS
My mother will never forgive. Not when she finds out. I was a fool. He'll always have a hold over me no matter what I do. I can't escape him, he's everywhere. Even inside of me, growing.
Kagome let the tears freely fall down her face. How could this have happened? Sure, he had wanted to make love but she never expected this to happen.
Her mother entered the living room with a tray of tea.
With care, she set it down and poured it. Adding sugar and cream to Kagome's and then handing it to her.
"Now Kagome, I want you to tell me what is wrong." Her mother said gently, fixing her own tea.
Kagome took a long swallow of hers before saying, "Four years ago, in the Feudal Era, I tried to take my life mom. I slit my wrists and was prepared to die but...but Sesshoumaru saved me."
"Oh, isn't that InuYasha's older brother?" Her mother asked with indifference.
Kagome nodded then said, "He healed me. Saved me I guess but then he just sort of black mailed me. He said if I didn't do exactly as he said he would let it out. Even I have an image to keep up there. Every one looks up to me mom. They look to me for courage and guidance and I just couldn't let them down."
"So, for four years, you've been doing what this monster tells you?"
Her tone was sharp, she was angry.
"Yes, I did mother. At first, it wasn't so bad. He let me go to school and everything. All he really wanted me to do was look after Rin but then his demands became greater and more disturbing. And a few months ago, he asked for my virginity. I was so afraid. And I let him and I wish I hadn't mom. Because...because now I'm pregnant!" Kagome wailed.
Her mother took her into her arms and rocked her back and forth.
"It's okay Kagome. It's okay. We can raise this baby you and I."
"No we can't!" Kagome cried.
"And why not? He'll only be ¼ demon."
"You're wrong. He'll be a full demon mom! If demon and miko's mate, the child is full-blooded demon! I read it in one of Sesshoumaru's documents!" Kagome whispered, something now stirring in her mind.
"Documents? It almost sounds as if he planned this." Her mother whispered.
Kagome just sat there.
Sesshoumaru sat in his study starring blankly at the wall. His thoughts stirred within his mind.
Where did I go wrong? I thought she would be happy here. She loved Rin so much and I let the fox demon come. And I thought that when...when I took her to bed that she would have been happy. What a fool I have been. Such a stupid fool. And now she's gone for good. I have no chance of getting her back. She'll never come back to the Feudal Era. She'll stay in the future with her family and...
His thoughts trailed off. He would live a long time. Thousands of years into the future. And she was only 500 away.
He grinned.
You'll never escape me Kagome.
"Oh, look at this Kagome!" Her mother said as she picked up a adorable pink baby jumper.
Kagome laughed and said, "Mom, I don't even know if it's a boy or girl! We may want to pick something that goes both ways. You know, like yellow."
"Oh dear, you're right. I'm getting to carried away. But it's not like every day is going to be the day you get your first grandchild!" She laughed.
Kagome laughed and starred through the window and froze.
Gold eyes starred at her from across the street.
Without realizing it, she began to tremble. Her palms became sweaty.
Impossible. How is he here? This is impossible!
When she looked up, he was gone.
"That went well." Sesshoumaru muttered as he road in the back of his limo.
"What did Master?" Jakken asked from the front seat.
"Nothing Jakken. Let's go home. I need to make a few calls to the hospital." Sesshoumaru muttered before losing himself in his thoughts.
What was Kagome doing at that story. Mothers-to-be. Yes, that was it. Surely she wasn't expecting. And then, who was the father. Had she betrayed him to some other man? Made love to him? Is that why she left him.
The thoughts made him angry. He was going to get to the bottom of this.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Her mother asked putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I just seen him mom! He's here! In the future! How did he get here? Oh mother, I'm so afraid. What if he finds out that I'm pregnant? He'll take me away for sure or maybe even kill that baby mom!" Kagome let the words gush out of her mouth.
"Kagome, honey, calm down. Now are you sure it was him. Sesshoumaru?"
"Yes, those eyes. Those gold eyes." Kagome whispered, remember how surprised and yet cold they had been. She shuttered. She knew what he was thinking. Was she with child? But, maybe if he came, she could convince him that it wasn't his. No, it wouldn't work, he would end up killing her.
"Remember when you said you owed me a favor Dr. Henry? Well, it's time to pay up."
