Chapter 4

When Kagome first awoke she was so warm and comfortable that she did not
feel the need to open her eyes. She felt a little stiff, but with
Sesshomaru's arms wrapped around her she felt warm and safe. 'If only the
birds would stop singing maybe I could fall back asleep… Wait, if birds
are singing that means that it must be morning.'
She instantly opened her eyes and the first thing that she saw was the
angelic face of a sleeping Sesshomaru. The second thing that she saw with
her now fully awoken mind was that she still had her claws. 'That means
that I most have conceived. Now I definitely can't wait for Sesshomaru to
wake up on his on, but how to wake him up!'

Sesshomaru was having a wonderful dream. In his dream Sesshomaru he was
walking through a field of wild flowers and had his arm around Kagome's
waist and she was in her demon form. It also came to his attention that
she was extremely far along in a pregnancy. Suddenly he heard Kagome's
voice. "Sesshomaru, I wish for you to see something."

"Kagome, I not much of an early riser. I still tired. Can't it wait for a couple of hours?"

"Ok, I let you go back to sleep on one condition. That you open up your eyes and look at my for about five seconds."

Grumbling, Sesshomaru opened his eyes to see the now fully clothed form of
Kagome. He closed them and mumbled, "Yes, you are very beautiful in your
demon form."

At this statement Kagome couldn't help but to laugh. Suddenly, all of the
facts were starting to add up in Sesshomaru's sleep-fogged head. 'Kagome
is in her demon form plus it is daylight if you add the two together that
must mean that Kagome has now conceived.'

Sesshomaru's eyes snapped open and for only the first time in his life he
was too shocked to speak. He was too shocked to think about anything
except what his instincts were telling him what to do, and that was for
him to claim Kagome as his mate. He wanted to be sure that no other male
with half a brain would dare to touch her without her permission. And
that is exactly what he did. He stood up quickly and pulled Kagome up
against him. He noticed a shadow of a blue crescent moon forming at the
nape of her neck. This meant that she was indeed now caring the Lord of
the Western Land's child -- his child. All he had to do now was sink his
fangs into the nape her neck and his symbol would become permanent, in
order to worn all demons and humans alike that she was his mate. He did
just that; he bite her in the neck and proceeded to lap up the blood that
his instincts called for to seal up the wound immediately. Then Kagome
started to speak.

"How are we going to explain all of this to all of my friends when we
return to the village?"

"We simply tell them the truth."

"That's easy for you to say, because I'm the one that asked you to make me
you mate. So Inuyasha won't be mad at you. You're also not the one that
is pregnant now."

"True. But don't you think you owe your friends an explanation for your
actions? And there will be questions that only you will be able to
answer. Plus, if they find out you told them a lie they will no longer
trust you. So if you want to keep their trust you must tell them the
truth now, no matter how difficult it may seem at the time. Although, if
you become too uncomfortable I will fill in the gapes with the information
that you told me. Plus don't forget you weren't the only person that was involved in the actions that got you pregnant."

"Yes, I already know all of that in my head, but my heart is saying that
they will think that I have betrayed them. Then Kagome started to blush at remembering the actions that took place the night before."

"O my dear, you do not have to worry about anything like that ever
happening to you. Although you do realize that now that you carry my
child and that you are my mate, you will have to live in my castle with
me."

"Yes, and I will be glad to come and live with you. I have just one
request though, that you allow me to come back to the village in two and a
half mouths for Sango. She is like a sister to me and she will be giving
birth to her first born in about three mounts time. Before I left the
village she made me promise her that I would be there with her to deliver
her child."

"If you made a promise to her and that is what you truly wish, then I will
allow it on one condition. You can call me by any pet names that you
desire. But never in public."

"Then we have ourselves a deal, my 'Shomaru."

"Mmm… if your going to keep calling me that then the rest of the journey
back to the village, it'll take a couple of hours instead of a couple of
minutes."

"I like how you think, but I am anxious to tell my friends about our baby.
But I will be happy to scratch that little itch of yours later on
tonight, Sesshy."

"You better be, because you had better get used to how demanding I can
become under the right circumstances."

I hope that you have enjoyed my story. please review., and I hope that the rest of your day will be a good one.
