Chapter 3 Confused Burning

The bright rays of the sun beamed on Sesshomaru's eyes. Slowly, he opened his eyes, seeing the sun blare against his face. He glanced up and saw that he was curled against Inuyasha. The Half demon had fallen asleep in a weird upward position. He has his arms draped protectively against the male, not yet realizing how much of his protective instincts will grow as the days goes by, especially once his scent changes to a bitch with a child. It was his fault that Inuyasha was so ignorant of Demon's ways. He refused to take him in, angry at his father for abandoning him and leaving him with a brother he never wanted. He also always knew his half-breed of a brother was an Alpha and would be stronger than him one day, and it hurt his pride. His stomach growled viciously. He couldn't remember the last time he ate. Eating wasn't something he needed often, but a lot of food was always required after heat. Yesterday a lot happened, and he didn't think about food. In fact, he was too nauseous and upset even to care to eat at the time. He vaguely remembered that Inuyasha was cooking something, but he dropped it in the fire at some point, and it was long forgotten when they started to talk. He wasn't entirely at his full strength, and if he were pregnant, he wouldn't be for a while. He should be able to hunt small animals without much of a fuss. He slowly got up quietly, left the protective circle that was his spot, and left Inuyasha. Mind you. He was still fully naked as his clothes were torn to pieces. However, modesty was the last thing on his mind. Without warning, panic began to fill him, and he started to hyperventilate. This wasn't supposed to happen until he was pregnant. He had two days left. Without a second thought, he rushed back through the safety of his mini clearing and saw Inuyasha was now awake. The moment he saw Sesshomaru, he quickly got up and pulled him to his side, inspecting him to make sure he was okay. Sesshomaru had to check. He pierced his finger, and the air had a sweet milky scent. He was with a child. It wasn't supposed to happen this fast, but it did. This was possible, and it did happen where pregnancies took effect the next day or even a couple of hours after mating. It was rare, though. This baby was going to be very powerful. He leaned into his newly alpha side and let out a soft sigh. The demon lord hated to admit it, but he felt safe.

Inuyasha smelled the newly sweet scent and knew purely on instinct what it was. The smell was similar to the heat, which had a hint of musk, but this much softer and milder. It was early, but it was a fact that his mate was pregnant.

"It's early."

"Yes, it is rare. But it happens."

When he had awakened, he didn't see his mate. A panic swept his core right away, and he felt anger fill him. It was a different sort of anger, a distraught, worrying kind. As he was ready to search for his mate, he was back in view again. He couldn't help the strong feeling to inspect him and make sure he was okay. He was then satisfied when he saw there was no harm done. He didn't want his mate out of his view. It was a strong desire to keep him by his side. He knew he was hungry though he could sort of feel things, not his emotions but the things he needed. He just knew.

"Let's go. We are going hunting. And back to Kaede. After."

Sesshomaru could only nod, not able to disobey as much as he loathed those filthy humans.

The old Lady, tho, not so much.

"Er, let's get you some clothes first."

He gave Sesshomaru his Fire rat robe. He rubbed the back of his head, apologetic for ripping up his clothes. His robe did get ripped, but it mended back together as it does. He still felt terrible about the whole ordeal. It wasn't his fault, but it still was. He let out an internal sigh. He had to move past it. Sesshomaru put on the top, and it stopped at his thigh. It was incredibly short on the taller man but sexy. He never thought he would see the day such a thing went through his head. He was thinking of Almighty Demon lord before himself as sexy.

The hunt had been short. They returned to the clearing for the last time to eat their meal. Sesshomaru couldn't control himself as he dived into the boar, a soft moan escaping his bloodied lips. Never had boar tasted so good. He picked it clean. Inuyasha asked what he wanted to eat, and he stated, 'he was so hungry he could eat a boar' Inuyasha had taken it literally, but it was a good thing he had because the boar was now gone. Inuyasha himself had a couple of rabbits. Seeing how hungry his new mate was, he gave him 3 of his 7 rabbits. Sesshomaru didn't hesitate to take them and devoured each one licking his lips. He was being such a pig, but he didn't care. He was now officially eating for two. He rubbed his belly and let out a satisfied sigh. All Inuyasha could do was watch his mate eat. He wanted to make sure he was full before he ate himself. He didn't realize that watching Sesshomaru eat would be such a damn turn-on and satisfying. Knowing that his mate was full and happy was incredibly hot.

"Damn, you're sexy," the words spilled from his lips before he could stop them.

The slender man stopped mid-belly rub and glanced down at his Alpha. He saw a hunger in his eyes, and he felt fear. He was scared. He wanted to run, but he couldn't leave his Alpha. This time Inuyasha could scent the fear. He had almost forgotten the incident, and it all happened last night. Of course, Sesshomaru would be afraid of him. He should be happy that he had full control over the man who continuously tried to hunt him down and kill him and his friends time and time again. But he didn't feel so happy. He hated it. He hated this. It was never supposed to be this way. But it was. He sighed and got up, annoyed and disgusted at himself. What scared Inuyasha was that his yokai didn't mind the fear. In fact, it seemed to crave it.

"Let's go. We are going to the village"

Sesshomaru nodded, trying to shake the fear off. It wasn't easy. They finally left the safety of Sesshomaru's secret spot. Their Journey to Kaede would take a couple of hours. Surprisingly that area wasn't too far from the Village. Though in all his life, he never stumbled upon it. It was well hidden. It reminded him of the bone eater well. He would just lay thick and frolic in a place where no one came or dared to come but his friends and Kagome when she needed to go back and forth. But he didn't take Sesshomaru as the frolicking type. The two left around lunchtime and arrived at the Village just before dinner as the sun was starting to set. Sesshomaru was hesitant about going in entirely. He stopped at the edge and glanced at Inuyasha.

"This Sesshomaru will wait here until you return."

Inuyasha balked at the idea.

"What are you talking about, you idiot. You can't stay out here alone, not while pregnant!"

Inuyasha heard the sound of a basket dropping. When he turned around, it was Sango, her eyes wide.
