Betrayal
Chapter 7
by XxMeatBallxX
It had been nine months and Kagome would be expecting to give birth any day now. For Kagome's safety, she was kept indoors at all times. She didn't like the rule enforced by Sesshomaru, but she knew it was for her own good. Kagome spent her days with Rin in the library, while Sesshomaru patrolled his country. Sesshomaru had not told her about the refusal to the Northern Lord. It had been months since his request, so Sesshomaru thought nothing of it. Most of the days he patrolled his land to make sure there was nothing that would trouble his pregnant mate.
"My Lord?" The terrified servant said as he walked into the room, bowing. Sesshomaru glanced up from the scroll he was reading.
"What do you want?" He spoke; annoyed.
"Umm, there has been a problem in one of the villages in the northern part of you lands, My Lord."
He sighed. "What is the problem."
"There are some powerful demons making trouble and innocent lives are being lost, My Lord." 'Innocent live, so what?' Sesshomaru thought.
"So?" He asked clearly annoyed.
"Well, umm..." The servant stuttered.
"Do not stutter in front of you Lord!" bellowed Sesshomaru.
"Sesshomaru!" scolded the pregnant Kagome from the door.
"Kagome, what are you doing out of our chambers?"
"One: it is kinda hard to sleep when you are in here screaming at the top of your lungs. Two: It's noon! You promised me that you would not let me sleep in. I'm pregnant not ill. And three: I'm feeding two stomachs here and I'm starving!"
"I am sorry that my yelling had woken you. As for hunger, why do you not go to the kitchen and have the cook make you a snack since it is almost lunch."
"Well maybe I wouldn't be as hungry if somebody had woken me up earlier." spat Kagome as she crossed her arms over her enlarged tummy.
"I am sorry for you hunger and your anger," he stood. "Come, let us eat our lunch since you are hungry." Sesshomaru paused in front of his servant, "Go." And with that the servant shot out of the room; glad to be out of the presence of the powerful youkai.
Sesshomaru escorted Kagome to the dining hall where plates of food had already been placed out for them. Once she was sitting, Kagome started to serve herself from the different platters. Soon after her second helping, Kagome was full and she and Sesshomaru sat in silence at the table.
The silence finally broke when Kagome asked, "So, what are you going to do about that village being attacked by demons?"
"Nothing"
"What?" she exclaimed, "What do you mean nothing? People are dying! Humans!"
"You and Rin are the only humans I care for. Those pitiful humans in that village mean nothing."
"Sesshomaru? Why? Why are you not helping?"
"I have become too soft. My enemies will take advantage of the fact that I have a mate and child, soon to be children." Sesshomaru stood and started off in the direction of his personal study, but was stopped my her small arm.
"Sesshomaru, please help them. Please. I do not care what others would think, especially you enemies. I an take care of myself. I'm a big girl now."
"Kagome, you do not understand. You never will." He walked away leaving Kagome in the middle of the hall.
"Sesshomaru, why do you keep things from me. Why? Why have you changed? What won't I understand?"
Sesshomaru stood in his office listening to her questions. 'I should tell her...' He walked back to where she was standing; Kagome hadn't moved.
"My love, come with me." He took her hand and led her to two large oak doors. Kagome started into his intent eyes.
"Sesshou? Where are we?" He did not answer her, but opened the door raveling a large bedroom with a king sized bed, chest of drawers, couch, dresser with a mirror, and a balcony. Sesshomaru led her over to the bed and sat.
"Kagome, this is my mothers room. What don't you understand, my love, is why I do not want to leave you with the baby, here at the castle, all alone."
She looked at him, "Why? Like I said before I'm fine I-"
"You still don't understand. The reason I do not like leaving you, is" he paused, "That is how my mother died.
"She was, at the time, pregnant with me. Father had left because there was a problem in the northern part of the Western Lands. When he returned, it was too late."
Kagome crawled over to him and sat in his lap. "Sesshomaru, I know it's hard for you, but can you tell me what happened?"
"Well, when my father arrived back to the palace, he felt something was wrong and started searching for my mother. When he came to the room that I once found you and Rin inside, my mother was lying on the bed, throat slit and impaled through her stomach. And there was I, lying on the floor in a bundle of sheets, wailing."
Kagome embraced him. She knew it hurt to lose a mother or father. She had lost her own at a very young age, but she had at least known him. Sesshomaru had never even herd his mother's voice. "I'm sorry for making you speak of this. I know it hurts to talk about it. I'm sorry."
He kissed her softly. "It is alright. You didn't know. You had a right to ask."
"Sesshomaru," she began "I have a question."
"Yes koishii?"
"You won't leave will you?"
He shifted her in his arms, "What do you mean?"
"Like, you won't go off and leave me alone here."
"I promise"
