Ok! There are at least two poltergeists residing in my room and they've decided that I am the only one that can hear them --. And I can't even understand what they are saying, it's all gibberish. And they keep on running a stick down the shingles of the house sidings so it's thumping everywhere around my room. I had my sister come in to see if she could hear them, but they stopped. Now I seem more crazy than I already appear.

My sister asked if I was raped because she read the beginning of it. And she had my mom read it. My mom now thinks I'm writing a sex story/ porno so yea, she doesn't understand me. this is a sensual romance/ angsty fanfic. I don't like the fact she called it that. It's not just sex! o well. let them believe that, I know that my readers like it! And please tell me your thoughts on it. Or suggest an idea. I've already taken the name of the baby from a reviewer! not saying! ook, on with it!

Disclaimer- not in the mood for a funny/lame disclaimer today! I do not-

Sessho- Ningen, you will say a disclaimer that features this Sesshomaru whether you like it or not. -Pulls out Tokijin- Who is this "Koharu you had in the last chapter? You mentioned that she will enter the story again. -looks at me suspiciously-

Me- nothing saying!

Sesshomaru- -growls- you will not write anything that harms my child or mate, filthy author.

Me- -shivers visibly- I-I meant I wouldn't say anything in this chapter. But I will tell you only -whispers into his ear-

I do not own Inuyasha or anything involved. but I do own this story! And this chapter is totally dedicated to the baby, and the bonding of Kagome and Sesshomaru. Hope you likey!

Ch 12 Sesshomaru's Reactions

Kagome glanced down at the daughter Sesshomaru brought down to her. Silver hair covered the scalp, a little lighter than gray. Two stripes identical to her father's marked her round cheeks and a cresent moon peaked out from beneath her bangs. Also, there was also a line of red on her eyelids which she also inherited from Sesshomaru. Kagome looked into the eyes of her baby and gasped. They were almost identical to the brown eyes she had, but, there was a curious and playful glint in them, a light Kagome thought Sesshomaru would never understand or possess. She looked up at her mate.

"What do we call her, Sesshomaru?" He turned away and proceeded to walk out the door when he replied.

"Call her whatever you wish to call her." 'I just wish you can forgive me for what I did to you, Kagome.' Sesshomaru had a million thoughts flashing in his head. Can you blame him? He lost his son and almost lost both his mate and infant daughter in a matter of minutes. In that moment when Kagome's power took over, the taiyoukai feared that his was going to lose his mate without them ever sharing an affectionate emotion towards eachother. Even thought they now had a child together, never had he lowered his guard for Kagome to learn to even like him. 'I want her to care for me . . .' He realised in shock. He turned back to Kagome in the hospital bed, the traumatized doctors and nurses continued watch them.

He approached the bed and knelt down beside her so he was about eye to eye with the miko. And he said the words he wanted to say.

"Thank you for my daughter. You will be a good mother to her, I know."

'Did Sesshomaru just compliment me?" Kagome's mind reeled with alarms. 'This isn't Sesshomaru! Imposter!'

She heard his intake of breath. Kagome saw the his gaze was now on the baby, one of his hands smoothing over one of the pointed ears on the side of her head. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief.

"She is a full blooded youkai." Sesshomaru was the one to speak first.

"How did that happen?" She exclaimed.

"Either you are a demon yourself or your miko powers were strong enough to purify her blood. You are not a youkai." Just then, the baby fussed and opened her mouth to wail. Kagome shushed the infant and cuddled her. The baby quieted for the moment Sesshomaru smirked and said, "She wants her first meal. We need to go back now." Back meaning to the past, away from her family and friends, to be treated like a possession instead of a living thing. Kagome nodded sadly, knowing he would not let her stay.

He wrapped both of his arms around her (remember that he got his missing arm ) and walked swiftly out of the room, Kagome holding their daughter, studying her intently again. Even though she had inherited most of her father's traits, she was clearly a female. A smile played the new mother's lips.

"Shii."

Sesshomaru was walking them out the door at that moment. "What did you say?"

Kagome grinned and replied, "Her name is Shii. That's my choice."

He sighed. "How incredibly female." (Shii is pronounced She, as in girl. get it?)

Back at the hospital, the doctor and nurses were still standing there when a man came into the room. "Docter Motosuwa, you will not believe what just happened. All of the patients in the hospital were all cured!"

"Huh?" replied the dumbfounded man.

Sesshomaru brought them to the shrine and was heading for the wellhouse when Kagome stopped him.

"Please let me say goodbye at least, Sesshomaru. One last time." The scent of salt hit his nose. The taiyoukai nodded in agreement, being a sucker for tears. Kagome stared up at him. "Thank you!" She ran into the house, holding the baby close to her body. He followed behind.

"Kagome!" yelled her mother, brother and grandfather (Don't ask why they didn't go to the hospital, I just thought it would be better if it were just Sesshomaru and Kagome). Their arms embraced her, not noticing the bundle close to her body.

"Careful of the baby!" She pulled away from them and showed her daughter to her family. Her mother was the first to approach, reaching for the child. Kagome slowly handed her over. She felt a presence behind her and knew it was Sesshomaru.

"What did you name her? What do these markings on her face mean? Oh, she has claws! And pointy ears! Is she full demon? How could she be-"

"Whoa, slow down, Mama! Her name is Shii, her markings mean she is from the family of the Western Lands. Yes she is full demon. I guess when I blacked out, my miko powers purified her blood and healed me."

"Oh, my goodness, I'm a grandmother! I'll pamper her, knit her sweaters, rock her to sleep. This is going to be so much fun!"

Kagome's eyes welled up once again. "Mama, I can't stay here anymore. Sesshomaru has duties in the past and wants me and Shii near him to protect us."

Sesshomaru, not wanting to seem like the bad guy, said, "I'll bring you every now and then to see your family, mate, if it will please you." Kagome smiled widely.

"Thank you, Sesshomaru!"

"But we must leave soon, my lands are not save with out me. Collect some items for yourself and the child if you have anything. I'll take Shii." She gave the baby to him and ran up to her room, grabbing an old school bag that was very similar to her other one, but was a little smaller. She stuffed her old baby blanket in it, two outfits, also picking up various items as she made her way to the bathroom, two of these objects being a camera (one of those cameras that gives you the picture out of the slot) and a photo album (empty). Once in the bathroom, she grabbed bathing items, including a body and hair wash that was tear-free.

"Sorry, Souta, I'm taking your soap for the baby." She smiled at that sound. She was a mother! Even though the baby started out unwanted and conceived so brutally, she loved her child already. What woman wouldn't want a healthy baby with all ten fingers and toes? Her smile widened at the thought of watching Shii grow up, speak her first word, take a step.

'Thank God Ji-chan isn't trying to ward off Sesshomaru like he did with Inuyasha. Sesshomaru would be angered for sure!' Just then she heard the dreadful words.

"Youkai begone!" And the slap of a sutra sticking to probably the taiyoukai's forehead. Kagome ran down stairs to try to stop any murders in the house. Amazingly, Sesshomaru hadn't moved an inch since she left, still holding the baby carefully in his arms. Very protectively too. 'Wow, he is really good with handling kids,' Kagome's mind chimed. The only thing that changed since she went up stairs was the look of annoyance shining in the sober golden orbs of the youkai just below the edge of the paper.

The girl pulled the paper off of his face and smiled softly. "I'm ready, Sesshomaru."

His silver head inclined as he replied, "Hai. Time to say goodbye."

Kagome turned to her mother, who pulled her into a warm embrace. "Kagome, I wish you well. Stay safe, sweetheart." She squeezed her daughter and pulled away. As Kagome hugged Souta and her grandfather, her mother slipped a small bottle into the front pocket of the back pack. 'Scented body oil is always a good thing for a bonding couple!' She thought. Sesshomaru saw it and instinctively knew her mother was trying to help. He gave her a nod when she saw that he spotted what trinket she gave Kagome. She smiled secretly at Sesshomaru and put a finger to her lips. Sesshomaru got the message (meaning let it be a pleasant surprise to find later on).

"Okay, let's go!" Kagome said with forced cheer. She gave her mother one last quick hug and they left the house.

When they got into the well house and down the steps, Sesshomaru spoke.

"I will bring you back every month to see your family." Kagome wrapped her arms around his waist.

"That would be great, Sesshomaru! Thank you." Good thing there was very little light in the shed, or you might've seen the pink spotted cheeks and smirking face of the taiyoukai as he wrapped one arm around Kagome, the other holding Shii and jumped into the well.
