Disclaimer: I own nothing from Inuyasha

Kagome felt as though she was in a daze as she watched the scene before her, the sounds around her were being muffled by the rapid beating of her heart. Her gaze rested solely on the newcomer on the field, she watched as the regal male that had haunted her dreams for the past ten months gazed around the field, his eyes resting on each and every person there until his gaze finally rested on her person. Kagome flinched unconsciously and her eyed turned downward, not wanting to meet his gaze.

Even without looking at him Kagome could feel Sesshoumaru's gaze upon her, the weight of his gaze made her shift nervously, soon she felt Sesshoumaru gaze leave her person and she released the baited breath she hadn't known that she had been holding. Kagome flinched once more as she heard Sesshoumaru respond to Inuyasha's "greeting".

"Why else would this Sesshoumaru be here?" He questioned, Kagome glanced towards him just in time to see a light frown come to the males lips as he glanced around at her companions before resting his gaze on Inuyasha " This Sesshoumaru obviously did not come to see you nor your humans"

Kagome felt her stomach drop at his words, the disgust was evident in his voice and she shouldn't have expected anything else from the male. He had made his dislike for the human race known plenty of times before. Still, part of her was hurt. She never fooled herself into thinking that their night together had resulted from a deep desire he held for her. No matter how many times the event replayed in her mind she never once thought that.

After the event had happened she had tried to find reasons as to why Sesshoumaru had done it, why he has choose her out of all people to commit such an act with. It didn't take one hard to think that the demon could get any female he wanted, which left her to wonder why her? She could only think of one thing and that was-he didn't know what he was doing, he was controlled by instinct which left logic in the dust. He had been controlled by his instinct to reproduce that many had, and even the most controlled being snapped after a certain amount of time, which is what she assumed happened to Sesshoumaru. He had lost to his instinct-that was all.

Even with this in mind a small part of her did hoped that the demon would at least see her in a higher light then he previously had, she knew that the event had changed her perspective of him, part of her hoped he would change his perspective of her. Going by his current wording and body language she knew that it was not so. That he saw her as nothing-just dirt beneath his feet and it hurt. A growl from Inuyasha brought Kagome's attention back to the situation at hand.

"You're a real bastard, you know that?" Inuyasha exclaimed as he leveled a glare at his elder sibling.

The response from Sesshoumaru was expected, his brow rose and he replied with a simple "hn".

His response and attitude got it's usual result from Inuyasha. The younger sibling clenched his jaw and pointed a finder at the elder "Listen here ya prick! I've told ya a thousand times I'm not given ya my sword so just leave!" He ground out.

The response was one everyone on the field expected, even Sesshoumaru, it seemed as though his younger siblings response pleased him as a small smirk came to his lips "Half breed-this Sesshoumaru does not believe he ever asked for you to "give" him anything. The sword is rightfully this Sesshoumaru's"

Kagome was drawn away from the siblings fight as her female friend, Sango, groaned from beside her. "It's always the same with these two" the elder female muttered, feeling a tug on her arm Kagome glanced at Sango curiously. "Come on Kagome, let's go rest- it's going to be awhile before this is settled and we can continue moving" the elder girl stated, a tired smile upon her lips.

Kagome nodded, the suggestion sounded good to her, following her companion to an area further from the two siblings she stilled when she was once again pained by cramps. Pressing her hand to the area, she clenched her jaw as she waited for the pain to subside. When it finally did she exhaled in relief and continued to the spot where her friends were now waiting for her.

Once she reached the spot, she took a seat next to Sango and smiled nervously when she noticed the female was looking her over. She was sure that her friend had noticed her discomfort but had yet to say anything, something she was grateful for. Sighing softly Kagome turned her attention away from Sango and towards the two brothers and their confrontation.

Though the two had not seen each other in a long period of time, their actions with one another had not changed. Inuyasha was cussing like a sailor and Sesshoumaru gave small taunt that seemed to dig deeply underneath Inuyasha's skin, making the hanyou even more angry, which lead to more cussing. While predictable their fights were always interesting to her. It was almost like watching a performance, a theatrical act.

Though a rather vulgar one she thought as she looked over each brother carefully, her gaze studying Sesshoumaru now more than ever. She had no clue why Sesshoumaru taunted his younger brother so, everyone-including Inuyasha-knew that if he really wanted too, he could end Inuyasha's life and take the sword for himself in a matter of seconds. So why did he continue to taunt his brother and not just end it. Perhaps he is bored? She pondered as she continued to study the silver haired siblings. She supposed that even regal creatures such as Sesshoumaru could get bored and seek entertainment. Maybe that is what he was doing that night? She wondered, instantly regretting the thought as soon as it entered her mind.

Kagome stiffened and gasped as she was once more pained by a cramp, the pain effectively pulled her from her observations of the brothers, mentally groaning as the pain continued Kagome closed her eyes tightly and clenched her jaw, hoping that the pain would once again subside. The increase in pain, with each cramp, was really beginning to worry her. She had never experienced this sort of pain before.

"Kagome, are you okay?"

Opening her eyes she turned in the direction of where the question had come from, she smiled weakly as she met the concerned gazes of her two friends. She nodded softly. "Nn, I'm fine-It's just you know, that time of the month" she answered as she tried to push back the pain and sound as nonchalant as she possibly could.

At her response a light blush spread upon Miroku's cheeks and he quickly directed his attention elsewhere, his action made Kagome feel slight amusement along with the pain. Though often a pervert, Miroku was like any other male she knew when it came to women and their 'time of the month'. Catching Sango's concerned gaze, Kagome felt relieved when the pain subsided and she could give her friend a true smile, hopefully it would ease her friends concern for her. After a few moments of looking her over, Sango finally sighed and mumbled an "okay if you say so" before turning her attention back to the battle going on.

Once Sango's gaze was on something else, Kagome let her smile drop, a frown replacing it. Shifting in her spot, Kagome tried to get some comfort. Even though the pain was temporarily subsided, some discomfort still remained. She was sure another cramp would come soon and when it did she wanted to be as comfortable as possible. What I wouldn't do for a warm bath and pain medicine she thought as she continued to try and find a comfortable position.

After a few moments Kagome began to give up on ever finding a comfortable position. She had no clue why her body felt so foreign to her right now, she knew though that sitting wasn't helping any. Glancing towards the two brothers fighting she noted that by their stances alone this battle would not be ending anytime soon. Huffing softly she glanced towards Sango "I'm going to go for a quick walk, I'll be back soon" she stated softly, seeing her friends nod in response Kagome pushed herself off the ground so she could stand up.

Standing was apparently not on the agenda, at least her body didn't seem to think so, for as soon as she stood she found herself on her knees-gasping for breath and a strong pain shot through her body. If she thought the pain she had been feeling earlier in the day was bad, it was nothing compared to what she was feeling now. It felt as though her body was being torn up inside. She couldn't retain the pained cry that escaped her lips. Squeezing her eyes shut, she pressed a shaky hand onto her side in hopes to make the pain subside.

Her mind was in a frenzy. She hadn't a clue as to what was going on, the pain she was feeling made her think that she possibly had a serious medical issue. She could not help but wonder what it could be, would it be something deadly, why did it come so suddenly, why were there no symptoms earlier?

She felt the hands of her friends on her person, she heard their words asking her what was wrong and if she was okay. However she couldn't answer, not even if she wanted too, the pain seemed to cut off her ability to speak. After what seemed like hours the pain finally subsided, leaving Kagome to feel even more uncomfortable then she had been before this latest attack. Her vision was blurry, making it hard to make out the scenery before her.

Blinking, her eyes widened when her vision cleared and she noticed that Inuyasha was standing in front of her, his face full of concern.

"What's wrong with ya Kagome?"

Though his words were rough like usual, there was a softness to them that she hadn't heard in awhile.

Kagome shook her head slightly "I-I don't know. It just started hurting really bad" she answered, her voice shaky.

Inuyasha frowned as he crouched down to her level, his gaze meeting her own he questioned "What began to hurt?" It was rare for Inuyasha to show such concern, especially when others were around. However she didn't want to think about that right now. She didn't know if she would feel more pain and she didn't have a clue what was causing the pain. It was frightening.

"My stomach, my body. Everything !" she exclaimed, not bothering to hide her fear.

She stiffened as she felt a hand rub her back gently. Looking beside her she noticed the hand belonged to Sango and the elder girl was looking at her with concern. She watched as Sango directed her attention to Inuyasha. "We need to get her back to the village Inuyasha. Something isn't right, maybe Keade could figure it out or you could take her to her time and they can figure it out there" she stated her tone and expression serious. Miroku voiced his agreement to the suggestion from beside her.

Inuyasha cursed under his breath and nodded. "Okay" he replied as he straightened into a standing position. Reaching down to pick Kagome up, he cursed again as he noticed the shape his arms were in. His fucking brother hadn't held back in the fight There's no way I'll be able to carry her correctly with my arms like this. He thought with a frown. He knew Miroku could carry her, but he wouldn't be able to get her there fast enough.

Glancing around he noticed his brother still stood in the field looking at them all with his usual stoic expression. His eyes narrowed at his brother and he growled lowly. "Asshole! Don't just stand there come and help us! I'll give the fucking sword just help us get Kagome to the village. You're the only one other than me that can carry her there fast enough." Though he hated to admit it, he knew it was true. For Kagome's sake, his best friend and the first person to show him care, he would admit his brother was better than him and even give his sword away if it meant getting Kagome to the village safely and quickly.

Sesshoumaru rose a brow before snorting softly and putting his sword back into its sheath. "Such an act would be a waste of this Sesshoumaru's time" he replied simply, before walking back to the way he had first come from.

Inuyasha growled louder as he looked after his brothers retreating form. "Fuck you bastard!" he yelled.

"Inuyasha! Forgot about your brother we need to help Kagome!" Sango scolded as she noticed her friend had begun to feel pain again.

Inuyasha turned his attention back to Kagome and noticed that she was once again in pain. He would have to carry her, and he would do it too, it would just take a little more time than it normally would. I have to take her back to her time too He thought as he glanced back down at his friend They have more medical supplies and knowledge there than what we have here. Huffing softly, he rearranged Kagome in his hold, careful to not cause her more pain and being mindful of his own wounds.

Once he had her situated he turned towards his worried companions and sighed softly. "I'm going to take her back to her time. I'll meet you guys back at the village later" he stated before looking down at Kagome who still seemed to be in pain. Tightening his hold on her, he began to take off in the direction of the well that would take them back to her time. "Don't worry Kagome, we'll be in your time soon" he whispered though he doubted his friend even heard him.

Inuyasha landed on the dirt floor of the well with a grunt, hearing a whimper from the female in his hold he looked down at her and his frowned deepened. Her pain had stopped on the way to the well, yet she still seemed to be sensitive to movement. "It will only be a few more moments Kagome" he whispered.

Kagome nodded softly and offered Inuyasha a shaky smile. "Thank you Inuyasha" she stated softly.

Inuyasha scoffed and smirked in a cocky fashion. "Don't worry about it Kagome, just shut up and rest until we get inside and see your mom" he stated, trying to hide his worry for his friend as he spoke to her.

Kagome rolled her eyes in response and Inuyasha shook his head. "Hang on" he stated before tightening his hold on her and jumped out of the well. Once he was on the ground outside the well, he walked towards the doors to the shed and pushed them open with his foot. Glancing around the shrine grounds he sighed in relief as he noted that no one was on them. This will make things easier he thought as he headed towards Kagome's home.

Once at the back door of the home, he frowned as he looked at it. He wouldn't be able to open this door with his foot. Huffing he kicked the door 'softly' ignoring Kagome's glare as he did so. Hearing movement coming towards the door he stepped back as the door was swung open.

He looked at the mother of his friend seriously as she opened the door and looked at him curiously. "What's wrong Inuyasha?" the mother asked as she looked at her daughter in his hold.

"I think somethings wrong with Kagome" he stated, before he began to tell the elder female all that happened.

After he finished explaining the events to her. The elder woman frowned and sighed. "It's okay Inuyasha, Kagome is probably just experiencing a cold mixed with her womanly problems" she stated with a soft smile. "Bring her inside and I will get her some medicine to help with the pain"

Nodding Inuyasha carried Kagome inside and upstairs to her room and laid her down onto her bed as Mrs. Higurashi had instructed him to do. After a few moments of waiting, Mrs. Higurashi came into the room with a glass of water and some pills in her hand. Inuyasha watched with worry as the elder woman handed off both items to her daughter.

Kagome took them quickly, very glad to be home. Her mother's presence offered her some comfort and made her feel as though she was no longer going to die from the pain that had been coming and going. Putting the glass down on the table beside her, she smiled at her mother. "Thank you mama." she stated.

The elder woman smiled and nodded. "It's no problem dear, why don't you take a small nap now. Maybe that will help with the pain" she suggested.

Kagome nodded and sighed softly. The pain medicine was beginning to work as the uncomfortable feeling was beginning to ease a bit. A nap was beginning to sound very appealing. "I think I will." Looking towards the still worried Inuyasha she smiled softly at him. "Thank you for taking me here Inuyasha I'm sure I'll be fine after a nap"

Inuyasha frowned but nodded. Mrs. Higurashi chuckled lightly at his behavior before tugging softly on his clothing. "Come Inuyasha, I'll make you some ramen while Kagome rests"

Kagome watched as Inuyasha perked at the mention of ramen and nod eagerly before followed her mother from the room. When the door closed behind them, she sighed softly and relaxed into her bed. Her body began to relax and soon she found herself drifting into a light sleep.

Kagome awoke with a jolt and gasped as she felt the same from pain from earlier back and this time it seemed to be even more painful than before. Why isn't it gone! She thought with panic.

Groaning, she shifted uncomfortably in her bed and instantly regretted the movement as it only seemed to increase the pain. Not only was there pain, but it felt as though there was intense pressure in her stomach and lower area. She whimpered softly as it continued to grow worse with each second that passed.

"Mama!" she yelled, her pain and fear evident in voice.

Within moment The door opened to reveal her mother, the elder female was panting softly, she looked at Kagome with concern as she noticed the pain her daughter was in. "What's wrong?" she questioned.

Kagome whimpered again, taking in a deep breath she looked at her mom with tears in her eyes. She was sure she was going to die, right now, right here. "It hurts! It feels like something is coming out" she groaned as she motioned towards her lower area.

Her mother frowned and approached her daughter. Opening her daughters legs so they were no longer pushed tightly together, she noticed that there did seem to be a bulge of some sort in between her daughters legs. She frowned and quickly pulled down her daughters undergarments to get a better look.

While she knew her daughter would usually be mortified for such a thing to happen. At the moment, she knew it was something she had to do. Her past medical experience would help her for whatever may be happening. As she pulled the undergarment off completely, her eyes widened at the sight the greeted that her. Kagome heard her mother do something she thought she was not possible, her mother cussed and yelled for Inuyasha to go and get her grandfather and tell him it was emergency and that he was to return home quickly.

Seeing her usual calm and composed mother panicked did not ease Kagome's fear, instead it only increased it, "Mama what's wrong?" she questioned with fear.

Her mother looked at her, the elder woman's expression softened as she responded to her daughter's question. "Kagome honey, you're having a baby"
