Chapter Ten

Thoughts

The sword didn't work to bring her back he was so depressed. He couldn't stand to lose her again. His love was now dead. What was he going to do? The sword was not giving the pulse. He wanted her back. What made the sword no work to bring her back this time? He was on his knees.

That is when a sound was heard from his mate. He heard a weak and faint sound of a heart. He approached and it was louder as he approached her stomach the sound was the loudest. He had brought back the pup. The mother was a different story. How could he bring her back?

"Sesshoumaru-sama what is it?" Said Miroku. Knowing to add the title to Sesshoumaru's name.

"I brought back my child and not the mother. I want the mother too. I need the mother. How can I do that?" The sword pulsed and he looked. He swung it again only this time she breathed. Her heart was beating again. He held her and then touched her stomach. Knowing it was what stopped her from returning.

"Sesshoumaru no threatening our child." She said and kissed him.

"The pup kept me from bringing my love and mate back I can punish it all I want. It will know who is in charge." He said playfully. Only wanting to see her smile and realize the truth. He was truly sorry and wanted her happy. He stood back to allow her friends to come and talked to her, and the children to hug her and question why she left.

He stood and let her be but he was not far from her. He watched as his mate talked and laughed. She was alive and well that was all he cared about right now. Her happiness. She was and always will be his world. She walked to him.

"Why are you by yourself here Fluffy-sama?" she asked and pulled him to the group.

"Fluffy-sama?" He asked she pointed to the tail. He nodded.

"I will allow it as long as we are alone. As for why I was away from the group I was allowing you to be with your friends and to spread those wings. You are my little angel Kagome who melted my iced heart. Now I will pay you back and allow you the space you wish for. I only wish for your happiness. I would do anything to reach said goal. I love you." He said and kissed her on the head.

"Anything for it. Like what? I don't want anything. I just want to be loved for real. Not loved because I am the reincarnation of some one. Not just because I can bare a child. Not because I have power but for me. For who I am and what I am. I love you to Sesshoumaru. I just don't. That is all I want. I just wish you would show me the you I say when we were talking not the indifferent one. I want to see that you love me and not just the pup. I would love to know that you would be willing to do that and not just protect me. But let me be free like you just did." She said lovingly.

"Thank you." He said right before they kissed. He had been so happy with her being back that he was forgetting that they had company. The sound of someone clearing their throat broke the lovers up.

"Thank you if you want to do that, please leave the area, and go to your room. Now we have to think of a way to protect her and the children." Said Inu Yasha angrily.

"Well I think she can protect herself with the miko powers and the bow though I would like to train you a bit. For now that can wait. I don't want to over do it right now. Not to sound overprotective love it would be a bad idea." Said Sesshoumaru. He held her close she nodded.

"True I will live with that. What do we do now though?" Kagome said worried.

"We have to see what happens." Said Miroku. Inu nodded at the former monk's statement. I can't believe this has happened. Is he still alive? Can Naraku have survived a miko blast like that? Is there another one who wants to see Sesshoumaru dead? Thought the half demon knowing that it all could be true. Naraku was powerful indeed.

"Hey I am going to go check on the children." Said Kagome knowing that they would want to play. She walked over to them and was immediately was tackled by a flying red ball of fur. She laughed and then felt another pounce on her.

"Mommy I want to play too." Said the voice of a little girl willing to play. The weight vanished and she saw two whining children and a father that was rescuing the mother.

"You two don't want to hurt your unborn sibling do you?" Asked Sesshoumaru. The two shook their head.

"No!" they said in unison. Shippo smiled and tried to wiggle out. He was dropped on to the ground and Shippo ran to the others and tackled Inu Yasha.

"Rin you go say hi to your uncle I have to talk with your mother. Okay?" She nodded and went to play with her "uncle" and left the two to talk.

"I wanted to say that though I trust them I want you safe. I will have someone with you when I am not around. You can choose who but if you choose Sango I want one of my men. I just wish for you and the pup's protection. My mate I want to see you here for the rest of the long days ahead. Will you be willing to put up with that? I can be gone weeks on end. The guards will be female that I request so they can check on you. Do you approve?" he asked scared she would not and wish to be alone.

"I do. I want you feel safe with me being away from you but know this I wish to be able to send them away and have some time to my self. Remember Miroku will be here to as will Inu Yasha. I know that doesn't sit well with you. Kilala is here and will protect me. She loves the children but will protect the Lady of the West the same." Kilala nodded showing she would. Sesshoumaru smiled.

"As you wish. If you do at least call for the two-tail so you will be safe. This threat has me worried." He kissed her and showed he cared for her. His mate and children were all that matter to him. He wanted to be with them forever. He nipped at Kagome's mate mark and kissed it. She tilted her head to allow better access.

"I love you Kagome." He said in her ear. She leaned back into the embrace.

"I love you Sesshoumaru." She said and kissed him. They stood there and watched the children torture poor Inu Yasha and run after him as he tried to get away. Then he cheated and jumped into a tree.

"No fair Inu Yasha. We can't jump that high." Said a depressed Shippo.

"Inu Yasha don't make me say it. They just want to play. You will have to learn eventually so you can play when you have children." She said and he jumped down and chased them. Shippo got tackled by Inu Yasha.

"Inu that's not fair. I want to go get off. HAHAHAHAHAHA" Inu Yasha started to tickle him mercilessly. He was laughing and having a good time. Everyone laughed. They were enjoying seeing the peaceful moments they had. Plus how often is Inu Yasha nice to Shippo. Kagome wanted a camera. (Kodak Moment Right?) She was so happy to see Shippo get to be the child he was.

Sesshoumaru was glad to feel the pleased aura around her. For a long time she was on the edge of depressed and then she would go suicidal. He knew that she was still on the edge but for now she was happy. He was happy too she was his mate and only wanted her to be happy.

"Let's go have lunch and relax." They all nodded and left for lunch. He kissed his mate and led them all to the hall. He had her hand. As they approached the hall and sat Kagome was not as distant this time because her mate was loving.

"Lunch is served." The servants called and then served lunch. The children ate fast then went to play the adults talked and ate. Kagome sensed a presence and froze.

"I killed him it can't be." She said before she fainted. The voice came as had before.

"You shall never destroy me!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Inu
