Chapter 15

"Damnit, where did Sango and Miroku go off to?" Inuyasha cursed.

Kagome smiled softly, "They wanted to be alone with eachther for a little while. Miroku had to talk to her, so I told them to go. Sango didn't want to leave me because you were gone, but I talked her into going."

"You did what?"

Kagome's smile turned to a glare, "Don't yell at me. Sango and Miroku deserve as much time together as we do. For years we've been chasing after Naraku, and he's always escaped from us. He's so powerful, and now there's Akakios and his daughters. Their afraid too Inuyasha, and they want to spend time together in case we don't make it."

"Hey, don't you talk like that! We're going to win just like we always do!"

Kagome's soft smile returned. "We always do pull it off, don't we?"

"Feh."

Kagome reached up and rubbed her half-demons ears and his head bent down to her. She giggled and leaned against him. "What would I do without you?"

"You would have died a long time ago." Inuyasha said bluntly and waited for Kagome to sit him, but it never came.

Kagome sqeezed his waist, "You're right. I've lost track of how many times you've saved me."

"You can't forget, you've saved me, too." Inyasha whispered, "All those times I started to transform into a demon. You didn't run from me like everyone else. You stopped me and brought me back."

"We've come such along way, havn't we," Kagome asked with a sigh.

Inuyasha simply nodded then sniffed the air, "What's HE doing here?"

"He? Who?" Asked the confused Kagome. "What is it Inuyasha?"

"Sesshomaru..."

"Really?"

Sesshomaru came from the trees. "Little brother, you have gotten yourself into a fine mess."

Inuyasha stood and so did Kagome, then Kohaku stirred from his sleep and asked, "Where is Rin?"

"Rin is somewhere safe, just like your mate should be, Inuyasha."

"Shut up! I'll keep Kagome plenty safe!"

The emotionless Sesshomaru continued in a detatched voice, "I thought you would have learned from the first time. Mating with a mortal. You, Priestess, have dishonored yourself by being with a half-demon."

"I love Inuyasha! There is nothing wrong with that! I wouldn't change my mind in a million years! He is perfect for me," Kagome yelled and grasped Inuyasha's hand.

The half-demon placed his hand on Tetsusaiga. "Are you looking for a fight, Sesshomaru?"

"Brother, you have bigger problems than me at the moment. Your pregnant mate should be your first concern."

"What?" Kagome screeched and her hand tightened on Inuyasha's.

Her mate sighed, "He's not lying, Kagome."

"How do you know? Its only been a few days."

Kagome sighed. They were dog demons, and their sence of smell was ten time better than hers.

Kagome paused, then glared up at her mate, "Inuyasha..."

He knew he was in trouble by the look on her face, "Yeah..."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Inuyasha just sighed and scratched his head. "You've been worrying enough as it is, and I didn't think it would be healthy for you or the baby to make it worse."

"You're saying Kagome's pregnant?" Sango stated as her and the monk appeared out of the trees.

"Can't we have ANY privacy!" Inuyasha yelled and flailed his arms, his kimono sleeves flying, "I'm getting really tired of-"

"Silence, Inuyasha. I havn't come all this way to listen to your pathetic argueing with humans. You are aware Akakios follows you with his daughters while you have come entirely too close to Naraku-"

Inuyasha sent Sesshomaru a heated glare, "Get it out already. What do you want?"

"Akakios will kill Naraku if he interfears with you. Naraku too, is a half demon, so you will go tire him for me while I destroy the demon and his daughters. You have yet to destroy Naraku on your numerous attempts, and do not think you can do it now."

Kagome held Inuyasha back by his arm as she thought, 'If Sesshomaru can take care of Akakios, then we can finally beat Naraku. Sesshomaru only stated it that way because he didn't want Inuyasha to think he was willing to help. He knows we can defeat Naraku, or at least I think he does.'

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled yet again

"Why do you want to help us?" Miroku asked from beside Sango.

Sesshomaru smiled coldly. "Help you? A half demon and humans? We are merely using eachother. You have the time it takes me to kill Akakios to take care of Naraku, then I will come and finish him off. Do you understand, little brother?"

"What makes you think I'll agree with that?" Spat Inuyasha stubornly.

"Because even you won't deny an oppertunity to provive what little more safety you can for your mate."

The annoyed half-demon struggled between pride and his mate, until one finally one out. "You're just going to be dissapointed when you get there and find out we've already killed him."

Sesshomaru smiled a knowing smile and stated, "We'll see if you're strong enough then."

Like that, he was gone, and Kagome rounded on her mate with a unhappy look that made him cower.

"Inuyasha, sit!" She hollared, "I'm your mate now, so you better tell me everything! Especially when it's about me being pregnant!"

Kagome stormed back to the fire and Miroku kneeled next to the half-demon with his face in the dirt and whispered, "You know, she's right."

"Shut up."
