Author's Corner: BOO! It's been a LONG TIME, and I just remembered I had posted a chapter for this. So yeah here I am. I hope someone reviews or else I wrote it for no reason… eh oh wellz.

OoooooooooooooxoooooooooooooO

Kagome pulled on her black jumper suit. The doctor's said that she had only been three weeks pregnant, but how come her body matured so fast? She wasn't scrawny anymore. Maybe having a part demon baby in your body also changed you. Kagome pulled on her comfy black boots and looked into the mirror.

Whatever the baby was doing, she was liking it. She had more meat, more breast, and more ass. Turning to the side, she glanced at her tummy. Her hands had automatically rubbed it gently. It was weird though. Currently, she didn't even look pregnant, but Kagome still couldn't imagine her flat stomach growing larger and larger. God help her.

Her eyes glanced over to her black duffel bag. Three weeks of running away helped, but she had to go back. The Shikon jewel was her responsibility and she had a duty to uphold. With or without Inuyasha.

She sighed as she double checked all her items. Heading downstairs, Kagome glanced around. No one was home today. They didn't know that she was gonna go back. Her mother refused to allow her daughter to fight demons while she was pregnant. Kagome's eyes saddened at the thought of leaving like this. Quickly writing down an 'I love you, be back soon.' note. She rummaged through the freezer and grabbed her ice cream. Well you can't blame a pregnant woman when she's craving something. Snatching a spoon, she ran towards the well.

She closed her eyes as she jumped down. The familiar magic engulfed her. She welcomed the cool comforting aura pulling her in. She didn't land on her butt like all the other times. The well seemed to grasp her condition and gently placed Kagome on her feet. The light trickle of water surprised her. On the other side, it was sunny. Why was it raining here?

Climbing up the slippery vines. She felt a familiar tingle, a demon was nearby. A powerful demon. Jumping up, Kagome tensed at the strong demon ki surrounding her. The rustle of the trees caused her to look up. She narrowed her eyes at one of her enemies. Sesshomaru gracefully stood on a branch. Matching her gaze with a more, frigid, hostile look.

She gripped her spoon and subconsciously thought of the wasted ice cream if he were to kill her. Aww man, the creamy Dreyer Oreo cookies and cream… What a waste… Her wandering thoughts jumped to high heaven as the image of Sesshomaru appeared right in front of her. Her immediate step back didn't seem to distance them at all. He was still at able-to-claw-you length.

She watched as he inaudibly sniffed the air. Fear raced through her. What if he smells the baby? He'll kill us. My baby. My baby's going to die… Inuyasha…

Her frantic eyes searched around. She didn't have time to pull out an arrow and shoot, he was too fast. Her eyes glanced at the well. Suddenly an idea popped up. She started to play it through her mind.

-Kagome's ingenious escape from Sesshomaru's deadly attack-

RUN RUN RUN and DIVE into the well. Wait… what if I run, and then I dive in. and then PLOP. Aim missed and my brains are splattered all over the rim. Or RUN RUN RUN and mid motion leap. Sesshomaru chopped off half of my body while I'm falling. Or he didn't come to kill me, and then I RUN RUN RU-OOF- I ran into Sesshomaru and I pissed him off and he decides to kill me anyway. OR I distract him by throwing my delicious cookies and cream ice cream at him and while he tastes it's yumminess, I jump in… NO MUST NOT LET GO OF DELICIOUS ICE CREAM!

Kagome snapped back into reality when she saw Sesshomaru move. He took a step closer… then another. Then another… all the while she took steps back. Her back hit a sold tree, blocking her from moving any farther. What the hell?

Reasons known as pregnancy hormones quickly riled Kagome up. She glared at the Taiyoukai straight in the eye and stepped forward to meet him. Placing a hand on her hip and leaning all her weight to one side, she glared. "Okay Sesshomaru. Why are you stalking me! I just got back for Christ's sake! I'm getting a serious migraine! AND like my ice cream is freaking melting!"

She rolled her eyes at his dark scowl. And jumped when his nose touched her neck. "What the He—"

"You are not mated. Yet you carry his hanyou pup."

She flushed at his words. Well the way he said it made her seem like a whore or something. "What do you want…"

The pouring rain filled the awkward silence. She shivered as the cold rain soaked her. Pro- her ice cream won't melt as fast in this cold weather. Con- she was gonna get sick. She didn't know how the hell she could have heard it, but his soft, and grudging whisper reached her ears.

"I require your assistance."

That was hard to believe. The Great Sesshomaru. Youkai lord of the West. Needed her help? "Why should I help you."

"Girl."

His low growl brought back some of her fear. Oh yeah, defenseless human here. I think I should hear him out… Dropping her belongings to the ground, she stuffed the ice cream and spoon into the bag knowing she wasn't going to eat it any time soon. Her gaze left it longingly.

"Well can't we at least get out of the rain. Let's go talk at Kaede's hut." His next words stopped whatever movement she was gonna make.

"Girl… While you were off wasting time in your world, many things have occurred since your departure."

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

BlUE GLARE vs GOLD GLARE

"Lives were lost to the hands of Naraku. Both mine and your companions are no where to be found."

It took a moment for his words to sink in. As it did, she made a mad dash towards the village. Lives were lost… was the village…? No! Her eyes widened as she reached the clearing. Everything was in ruins. The land was scarred up. Blood splattered over wood and you could see bodies and appendages littering everywhere.

She covered her nose and mouth with her hand. The smell was disgusting. Ravens could be seen holding pieces of hands or feet. All of a sudden she was choking. Kagome coughed up bile. She retched on the spot.

Naraku… You evil bastard. Her senses felt Sesshomaru behind her. She wiped the residue from her mouth and looked up at him. She welcomed the darkness sweeping her into their comforting arms as it sealed her fate.

He quickly caught her before she could do the pup harm. He scoffed at how easily she succumbed to unconsciousness. Again he wondered why he had sought this miko-child's assistance. The girl was weak and surely would not come in any use.

He carried her to his erected barrier. Upon entering, their clothes quickly dried. The youkai lord placed the nuisance against a big root. Gracefully sitting down, he leaned against the trunk of the Goshinbuku, and patiently waited for the girl to wake.

Again he sniffed the air. Her scent was insufferable. She was jasmine and ice mixed into one, but the fowl stench of the hanyou clung onto her being. His nose twitched in disgust, but nothing else in his expression changed.

Another hanyou coming into this world. The blood of the west flows through that child in her womb. Will his lineage continue it's impurity? If that pup is born, then he will be the heir next in line for succession. He growled at the thought of a hanyou bearing the name Taiyoukai of the West.

The best resolution is to kill it. This Sesshomaru will not allow impure blood to taint the name of the West. But for now, it was necessary to use the miko-child's ability to see shards. That was the only way to take a step closer to save his ward.

He glared at the moving figure.

Kagome rubbed her neck. She groaned as she moved her head out of a sore angle. Opening her eyes she glanced up at the powerful aura. So it was all for real. Tears pricked her eyes. The image of the destroyed and tattered village changed into a dead kitsune, tajiya, Houshi, neko, and elderly miko.

Was everyone gone? Did they…? Kagome choked back a sob as she tried to compose herself. I can't jump to conclusions. I don't know for sure. Everyone knows how to fight. They could have escaped, or they could have been off traveling.

She sniffed one last time before looking at the youkai. He said they were missing. Rin might be gone too… but why did he come to me? He answered before she could finish that thought.

"We will search for the remains of the jewel."

Kagome glared at his uncaring voice. Crossing her arms, she chose to ignore him. She was stuck with… With this. Why did God want to torture her? All the stress from today finally got to her. Kagome grabbed the cool container and her silver spoon.

The fast grip scared the shit out of her. She glared at the offending hand as he examined what she held. His quick release probably meant that it wasn't even weapon worthy. Fucken asshole. It's just a spoon. You want to see a weapon? I could unclick the safety and shoot your ass… but I don't want to waste my bullets.

Opening the lid, Kagome happily saw that it only melted a little bit. She spooned the substance and sighed at the cool creamy taste. Ice cream and stress are soul mates.

Kagome brought out her black sleek I-pod and flipped through her playlists. The soothing beat of Christina Millian's song played through her ears. She didn't notice the demon lord eying her accessory.

He watched as she kept digging into the firm, but light surface with that strange utensil. His eyes didn't stray when he saw her bring out another useless item. His curiosity was pricked when she plugged something in both her ears.

His demon hearing made out muffled sounds supposedly from that black material. He couldn't help but wonder what this girl's world was like. Her manners were barbaric, yet her intelligence level was higher than an average lord from here. She wasn't as gentle or as weak as the woman here were. Her manners made it seem like she believed she was equal to anyone.

Even to the great Sesshomaru? Yes he needed to put her in her place…
