I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha. I wish I did though.

Hey I finally updated this! Yay me! Well I'm glad that I finaly got this updated. I have an idea where this story is going now. Well I'm sorry it took so long!


Kagome idly stirred the ramen, listening as Shippo chatted on and on about the baby. She smiled softly at his enthusiasm; he was going to be a great big brother. She thoughts wondered to the sex of the baby; she still hadn't made the decision of knowing or not. Hiei didn't care, as long as the baby was healthy. The miko just wondered if she wanted a surprise or not.

Also she felt off today. Not sick, just off. She had thrown up more than usual that morning. She was more tired than usual. Her body felt like a weight was resting on her shoulders, and coupled with the sense of foreboding she just couldn't keep her mind on anything. Something was going to happen and she had a feeling that she wasn't going to like it.

"Mama, is everything okay?" The grown fox-youkai asked, standing right next to her. Kagome wondered how long he had been standing there and for the matter quiet.

"I'm sorry, my thoughts wandered. I was wondering over the sex of the baby. Sorry sweetheart." She turned towards him, smiling. She huffed when once again another piece of hair had escaped the pony tail. Oh why couldn't her hair stay today?

"Why don't you sit down? I think the ramen is just about done anyway." He said, noticing that it looked finished. He could tell that his mother figure was tired. "How long have you been up anyway?"

"Since four. I had morning sickness." She silently cursed at the toilet. Yes, she hated that thing. "What are you laughing at mister?" She asked, as Shippo bust out laughing.

"You look like Hiei when he glares at an object. Is my darling stepfather rubbing off on my lovely mother?" He smiled at the miko, faking hurt when she wacked his arm. "Yeah I think Inuyasha rubbed off on you too!" He asked, scurrying from the kitchen as a spoon came hurling at his head.

That was another thing that entered Kagome's mind much lately: Inuyasha. The anniversary of his death was coming up soon. She hadn't been there, but she knew the details. He had saved her other friends after she left, dying in the process. Sango and Miroku had many children and lived for many years. It was funny, she learned, that she was their descendent. She was still connected to them even after five hundred years. She planned to go to demon world on the anniversary and be at the memorial service. Hiei had never knew the hanyou but had decided that he owed the hanyou much, for keeping his mate safe when she was younger.

The phone went off, making her jump. She really needed to stop allowing her thoughts to pull her away from reality.

"Hello?" Her mind whizzed to who it could be. Most of the people unless they were humans and most of her human friends who know, used communication mirrors.

"Miko." It was Sesshoumaru. But why in the hell would he be calling her? He always used communication mirrors.

"Yes Sesshoumaru?" She had a bad feeling about this. What was going on? The way he had said her name had made her feel like something bad was going to happen-at the very least something not good.

"Pack your bags, you and Shippo are coming to This Sesshoumaru's palace." Kagome's mind stopped. No she wasn't supposed to be going there for two weeks. Why was she going early?

"Does Hiei know? Wait why are we coming now?" She asked, her voice getting higher in pitch. Her mind was swimming in confusion. Shippo was at her side now, he seemed worried.

"No, your mate does not know." Sesshoumaru answered, it that calm unemotional voice of his. Kagome felt something in her snap, this wasn't going to end well.

"Then let me call him and tell me. I know he'll want to escort us." She said. Shippo was using his demon hearing to hear both sides of the conversation. He was just as confused.

"No, your mate does not need to know. He cannot know at the moment."

"I am not going then." Kagome said, her voice hard. She was not going to go anywhere without her mate knowing.

"Yes you are miko. This Sesshoumaru will come down there and come get you himself if needed. This Sesshoumaru is sending a servant of his who opens portals." Shippo and Kagome both turned their heads towards one another, confused.

"Please Sesshoumaru, tell me what is going on. Why can't Hiei know?" Kagome begged, hoping he'd comply. There was a pause and a whisper on the other line.

"This Sesshoumaru needs your help." They could tell that it was hard for him to admit that. Shippo was quiet and for some reason he didn't seem to be asking a million questions.

"And why can't Hiei know about this, he is my mate?" She asked, her anger suddenly rising. She didn't enjoy not knowing anything.

"Miko you shall stop your infernal screeching and come to demon world. Your mate shall not know and you will come now. That is an order." His voice was commanding and Kagome had a feeling that she wasn't going to get her way, but it didn't mean she was going to go down without a fight.

"Who's to stop me from calling Hiei right now?" She asked, sounding victorious.

"You are unable to make any calls from your house and cell phone. Anyone who calls will just get an answering machine. Your communication mirror has been set up to give the other person conversations of you saying you're fine depending on the person. This Sesshoumaru has already planned this all out." Kagome had the urge t purify his ass out of existence but then she'd have to rule his lands.

"I'm going to get you back for this Sesshoumaru." Kagome said, admitting defeat. He was going to win this and they both knew it. She huffed, blowing her hair out of her face. This day couldn't get any better.

"You have made the right decision miko. This Sesshoumaru shall see you soon, very soon." The dog-youkai said, knowing he had won and sounding quite smug with the fact.

"I hope Hiei uses The Dragon on your ass." Kagome muttered angrily. Her temper was rising and she didn't want to go but knew that there was no options left. The phone clicked off, showing that he had decided that he was done talking for the moment.

"What did ice prince want?" Shippo asked, hearing the phone click. Kagome suck against the counter. Everything was fine and now she had a feeling that everything was going to fall into chaos. Sesshoumaru was going to great lengths to get her to the Makai and in his lands. She hadn't protested as much because she had a feeling that to do so, would only cause more problems. Something in her gut just screamed that she had to go, that it was a life or death situation.

Yet she didn't want to leave Hiei. He was her mate, father of her child, love of her life, and just her world. How could she do this to him? Just leave without giving him an explanation? She didn't want to worry him. Maybe she could leave a note and tell him where she was going? She disregarded the idea though, she knew Sesshoumaru would find it. He never overlooked anything, never.

"We're going to the Makai." The black haired beauty said, hoping to gather her thoughts. Kagome at that moment suddenly felt very dizzy and tired. She tried to stay upright but her head was pounding. Her body tensed for the impact with the floor, but it never came. Shippo caught her before she could hit the ground, holding her bridal style.

"Hold on Mama! I'm going to call Hiei and the others." He was frantic. Before Sesshumaru called, she had been fine, albeit distracted, but fine. He had been worried before but he felt like he was going to go insane. Why couldn't anything ever be peaceful around his mother?

"No, you can't. The phone and communication mirrors won't work. Sesshoumaru made sure of it. You might be able to call him though." The pregnant miko said, weakly. She felt like all her strength had been sucked from her.

"Damn that Sesshoumaru!" Shippo yelled, worry evident in his voice.

"Maybe you were the one who hung around Inuyasha too much." Kagome chuckled weakly, smiling up at her son. She didn't want him to worry so much, even if she was scared, scared to lose her baby, scared that this was happening.

"Please don't laugh, conserve your strength. I'm going to run to Kurama's. He should be able to contact everyone." The youkai said, hoping, praying that everything was going to be okay.

"What is wrong with the miko?" Sesshoumaru asked from the doorway. To anyone else he was showing no emotion but they both could tell that he worried. Sesshoumaru sniffed the air, looking for poison or sickness. His eyes narrowed when he found that something was wrong inside the miko. There was a poison in her system and he hadn't figured how they had gotten there. He had known this was going to happen eventually.

"Sesshoumaru! We need to get ahold of the others, they can help!" Shippo yelled, frantically.

"We are going to This Sesshoumaru's palace. The miko will be treated for the poison in her system there." The Dog Lord stepped to the side to allow, Jaken to step into the room. He didn't hate all humans now, just most of them. "Open a portal to the palace, Jaken. And if you screw up, you'll die." TH toad cried out in fear before opening a portal. "Get in, now." It wasn't a suggestion.

"No, Mama needs to stay here. It's not safe in Demon World for her." Shippo glared at Sesshoumaru, confident that he could hold off the Demon Lord.

"It is not safe for her in the Human World anymore. She will be safer, where no one will know where she is. Shippo this is a life or death situation." Sesshoumaru said, honestly. Shippo knew the demon never lied, but he was still hesitant.

"Go with him, sweetheart." Kagome whispered from his arms.

"There isn't much time, come." Sesshoumaur once again commanded.

"Fine, but we're calling Hiei later." Shippo said, jumping into the portal, already heading off to the infirmary. Sesshoumaru and Jaken followed the worried fox youkai as well, shutting the portal behind them.

"Lord Sesshoumaru?" Jaken asked hestitantly. He didn't want to be killed.

"Yes?"

"What do you think he will think about the miko being pregnant?" The toad asked, ready to beg for forgiveness. Sesshoumaru seemed to think over his answer, before answering.

"He won't be pleased."


Well what you think? Please review.
