(Yes! You guys guessed right (For those who guessed) Kagome is indeed (gasp) pregnant! And the baby's daddy is….Shessy! hmm….how will the demon bro's react when this reaches them? Oh, and the band who sang the last title is called "Damien rice" incase anyone wanted to know
Chp.26: Oh, brother where art thou?
Kagome awoke again to the same setting she remembered when she was first with Sesshomaru. So last night wasn't a dream! Kagome sat up then quickly felt a swoon of nausea hit her, then she also remembered what she should tell Sesshomaru….Kagome put her hand on her stomach. How would he react. Would he care for their baby? Love and nurture it as it should be? An image of Rin flashed into her head and hope fluttered into her heart. Kagome heard footsteps approaching her door. She lay back down as it opened again.
"KAGOME-CHAN!" said a bubbly Rin. The little girl jumped on top of Kagome and hugged her. Kagome suddenly felt another swoon of sick and hastily asked Rin where the bathroom was. The little girl pointed to a pot a little ways from the bed. Kagome dashed to the pot and puked her sick out will the girl quizzically looked at her.
"Is Kagome-chan alright?" asked Rin reproachfully. Kagome nodded and asked her to get a wet cloth and some water.
"Kagome?" said a deep voice behind her. Chills formed up Kagome's back as he placed a warm hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Sesshomaru with a concerned frown on his face staring at her.
"I-I'm okay" she let him lead her back to the bed. After a few moments of silence Kagome knew she had to tell him…but….she was so afraid. He began to talk when she did.
"No…you continue" said Sesshomaru.
"No, it's okay. You go"
Sesshomaru shifted uncomfortably on the bed. Finally Rin came back with a wet rag and water in a goblet. Kagome lay down and placed the cloth on her head while gobbling up the water. The nausea was reduced slightly. She didn't know if she was sick from the pregnancy or sick of the thought of telling him what was inside her.
"Rin. Please leave us alone for a moment. I'll call you back in after we are finished…" Rin sulked while walking out of the room. Sesshomaru turned to Kagome and held his hand in hers.
" Kagome….This past week has went by so fast. In the short month we had spent apart has gave me time to think about things, about us," His gold eyes glowed warmly at her "And I want to be with you. Human or not…"
Thick hot tears burned a trail down Kagome's cheeks. She was so relieved. So….then….she could tell him. She smiled as he held her face in his hands, kissing away the tears.
"Sesshomaru…I got something to tell you"
"Hmmm?" murmured Sesshomaru as his kisses began working down her neck.
" I'm pregnant" said Kagome. It was as if the waves receded back into the ocean, as if the warm summer suddenly turned cold and lifeless again. Sesshomaru stopped mid-kiss. A dumbfounded look over came his face as if he hadn't correctly. Kagome nodded. They heard Rin behind the door asking if she could enter again. Sesshomaru cleared his throat.
"Err….just go to your room Rin." Said Sesshomaru in a strained voice. This couldn't be happening. Again for the second time he wished he hadn't touched her.
"As in….a child?" uttered Sesshomaru after a minute. Kagome nodded again and smiled timidly. Sesshomaru stood up and paced the room running a hand through his hair.
"What's wrong?" said Kagome.
"You failed to tell me this sooner…A child?" said Sesshomaru. Kagome had guessed correctly then. He was negative toward the idea of them having a child together.
"Well…I've just woken up," said Kagome defensively " I knew this would happen…"
"What did you expect? I'm….I'm not ready for a child. I still have things to finish…."
"Like stealing the tetsusaiga?" Kagome instantly wished she hadn't ever said that. Sesshomaru rounded on her.
"The tetsusaiga doesn't matter anymore to me….Wait. Is that all you think of me? That I'm some demon who is pawning after my brothers precious sword?" bellowed Sesshomaru. Kagome shook her head. Sesshomaru stared at her for a second before turning away in an angry stride out the door.
"Jaken….JAKEN!"
The little green goblin hobbled toward Sesshomaru looking curiously at him.
"What is the matter my Lord?" said Jaken. Sesshomaru hastily stalked down the hall in a rage. He wasn't angry at Kagome. He was more so angry at the fact that she was pregnant. Sesshomaru was angry with himself. And he could also smell someone else on her lips…but he couldn't detect who's it was.
" Tell the maids to take care of Kagome. Make sure they give her special treatment for Rin should keep Kagome company…And fetch me some wine." commanded Sesshomaru as he slammed the door to his chamber. Jaken goggled after Sesshomaru in surprise. Usually Sesshomaru was always calm. What did that wench do to him?

Inuyasha roared with anger at the situation. Sesshomaru took her away. And how could Kagome just leave without saying goodbye? Without telling anybody where she went? The only clue Inuyasha had was a strand of silver colored hair and a scent.
"But we HAVE to go with you Inuyasha!" said Shippo. The little fox demon was red in the face from arguing with Inuyasha.
"No. This is something that I have to do myself. I have to settle the score!"
"But Inuyasha, what if something happens? We need to help you!" Sango said. She looked to Miroku for support. The monk merely nodded his head along with everyone else.
"NO! This is the last time I'm saying it. Me and Sesshomaru have been at each others throats for years. I need to end this. And I will kill him. Even if I die it won't matter….because by then I'd have dragged him down with me…."
With that Inuyasha fled the clearing and began running toward the far away fortress of Sesshomaru…

Kagome lay on a soft pillow on her bead crying. She'd been that way all day. Rin sat next to her brushing her hair away from her face. Kagome didn't understand. Sesshomaru had been so sweet to her and supportive then all of a sudden he turned into the monster Inuyasha had said he was. He wasn't like that though.
Sesshomaru lay on his bed and sighed looking out the balcony of his room. He felt miserable and torn. He remembered how two weeks ago he had been so lonely, Wishing that he had someone to console with. And look at him now. He does have someone, yet, he might've just messed up the whole relationship he had with that someone. He had to fix things.
Sesshomaru left his room and walked up to Kagome's door hesitating before he knocked.
"Come in"
Her tear strewn voice made some of his frustration seep away. Rin looked looked up at Sesshomaru in a concerned way. He nodded for Rin to leave the room and sat down next to Kagome on the bed. Kagome didn't look up at him though. She only stared out the balcony doors.
Sesshomaru then lay down next to her blocking her view so that she had no choice to look up at him. It angered Kagome that even now she wanted to kiss Sesshomaru and more horribly make love to him again. She turned around. For a second they played a game of Sesshomaru switching sides to lay down on while Kagome turned away. Finally Sesshomaru laughed as he pinned her to one side. Kagome tried to wiggle out his grip but Sesshomaru held on until finally Kagome let out a yell of defeat and laughed along with him. The tenseness vanished and they lay giggling beside each other. Kagome turned and looked at him.
"So…what do you say?" she asked. He put a hand on her belly and smiled.
"When it comes…it'll come" said Sesshomaru. This really couldn't be real thought Kagome. It was so perfect!
Sesshomaru kissed her cheek and looked at her a tiny smirk on his face.
" Later…much later come to my chamber...It's sound proof."
His seductive smile made Kagome blush. He got up and left. Kagome was in heaven….
HA. Ahhh….so cute! But…there can only be a pair of lovers instead of a triangle…-QN
