Sesshomaru's heart flops again seeing Kagome helpless. Why do I suddenly feel a yearning to save her? I do not love her, she is a weak miko who is my brothers wench. For all I care she can die.

Bankotsku looks at the girl and smiles. The next second he's running toward her.

Sesshomaru runs after him and chops of his head. As it reattaches itself Sesshomaru says,

"It is me you're here to fight, not the girl."

Bankotsku replies, " I see you're not fond of her, but seeing a miko die by me is such a pleasure."

Bankotsku rapidly starts running toward Kagome, leaving the battle. Sesshomaru glides across the land and scoops up Kagome just as Bankotsku is about to kill her with his 6 foot long foot.

"So you are fond of this girl Sesshomaru. You are willing to protect her, are you not?"

Kagome is slowly waking up to see herself in Sesshomarus arms. Her heart flutters. Why am I here? Why is my heart beating so hard? Do I love him?NO, he's probably just going to let me die.

Sesshomaru replies, "I have nothing to protect. This miko will be killed by me alone for certain reasons. Killing her will be done by me and not my rival."

Kagome suddenly faints from hearing this. Sesshomaru notices Kagome has gone limp, and places her in the garden of flowers.

Sesshomaru grabs his Tokijin. "Now lets finish what we've started."

Sesshomaru dashes toward Bankotsku and stabs him in the heart, causing him to scream in pain while clutching his heart. Bankotsku is stumbling along and Sesshomaru jumps and uses his poisonous claws to stab him into his heart again, making Bankotsku die instantly, falling to the ground with a thud.

Satisfied with his work, he peers over his shoulder to see Kagome peacefully sleeping. Now is the perfect time to kill.

Sesshomaru with his claws poised to strike, runs toward Kagome when Kagome starts shifting and wakes up and screams a piercing scream as Sesshomaru is running toward her with his claws about to slash her throat. Kagome is scrambling backwards with her heart beating a mile a minute. Suddenly Kagome stops and her hands go to her abdomen as she notices her abdomen get slightly larger.

"Wh..what's happening." Kagome's face shows puzzlement and confusion.

Sesshomaru is almost at her when he sees her clutch her abdomen in puzzlement and her aroma of vanilla and lilac is slightly different, possessing the smell of…of….HIMSELF.

He's still running with his claws poised, and grabs her throat and lifts her off the ground.

"Wench, what is the meaning of this." Sesshomaru's eyes flickering red with rage.

"I..I… was running away from here. I didn't mean to-----"

"No, I mean your scent has changed. What's the meaning of this?" Sesshomaru, still holding Kagome's throat with his claws now sniffs her lower stomach, noticing that she smells of himself and is carrying a child.

"What's wrong?" Kagome asks worriedly while gasping for air

Sesshomaru slowly lifts his face until his face is mere centimeters from Kagome's and is staring her in the eyes. Kagome looks into his eyes and blushes, making her look down.

Kagome coughs from lack of air and Sesshomaru lets her fall to the ground. Kagome feels her throat but sees it is not scratched. Sesshomaru again stares at Kagome. What the hell happened that that wench is pregnant? Thinking for a bit, Sesshomaru realizes something. Damn it! I must have gotten her pregnant when trying to make Inuyasha suffer. Damn it ! Damn it! Damn it!

Kagome is looking at Sesshomaru, wondering what he's thinking about when without answering his question says,

"I better be going" Kagome gets up slowly and starts running toward the river with Sesshomaru looking at her.

Kagome runs as fast as her legs can carry her but her head is spinning in circles and she starts falling when Sesshomaru runs toward her and catches her with her head on his chest. Kagome looks up to see Sesshomaru looking at her with a softer expression on his face.

"As long as you're bearing my child, I don't want you to be harmed in any way." With that Sesshomaru picks up Kagome bridal style and carries her speeding fast to the castle.

On the way Kagome is wondering about many things such as why is he being so nice to me? Why is my heart fluttering, I do not love him,….or do I? Kagome then fainted.

Sesshomaru felt her body go limp and looked down. Her calm and peaceful face was hard not to look at. He moved his eyes to her abdomen to see the tiny bump forming. My child will be born in about 5 months. Why is it that I don't kill her and the child? Then I won't have to deal with a baby hanyou.

Sesshomaru entered the castle and entered his room and placed Kagome on his King sized bed. Without thinking twice, he bent down and kissed her forehead but quickly left the room afterwards.
