A Future Fairytale

Chapter 4

Conversations

At least two months have gone by since I was in Sesshomaru's care. I am beginning to think InuYasha doesn't care about me or the child anymore, because if I had known him like I thought I did, he would come right away to save me...so what happened? Did we lose our connection...or does he just...not love me anymore?

Those thoughts stuck with me throughout my pregnancy. I was beginning to feel so depressed and that wasn't doing any good for the child, and I hated myself for it. Sesshomaru noticed my depression growing as well, and he sent that Rin girl out to play with me and keep me company.

"So you're staying with Sesshomaru-sama?" the girl asked, curious as to who I was.

"Hai."

"Naze?"

"Because Sesshomaru-sama thinks it best for me and the child to stay here."

"But you don't look happy," Rin pointed out. Wow, she is quite an observer for a young child.

"You've noticed?"

"Hai…ever since you came, when the weeks went by, Rin has seen Kikyou-sama walking around the gardens as if waiting for someone," Rin replied.

"I see…"

"Who is Kikyou-sama waiting for?" Rin asked curiously.

Since Rin probably knew all about fairytales, I decided to give her this answer in particular. "My prince."

InuYasha, Miroku, Sango and Shippo were all once again in the Healer's Hut. InuYasha had not been the same since he had been told to wait for the nine months to pass by in order to rescue Kikyou. Only because he could feel her depression through the mate mark, which made him feel depressed that she was sad like this. His ears were drooped most of the time and he hardly ever talked to anyone except Sango for some reason.

"InuYasha?"

The hanyou looked up and over at Sango, who was currently petting Kirara who was nestled in her lap and asleep, purring. "You're really worried, aren't you?"

InuYasha nodded. "I can feel her depression through our mark...I just have to find her."

"InuYasha…don't you think if Kikyou-sama was that depressed and Sesshomaru-sama noticed then he might take her back to you or let you come to her?"

"Feh, Sesshomaru doesn't care for humans and their feelings, let alone my own, we aren't that tight." He clapsed his hands together to make his point. "If a human made a real fuss in front of Sesshomaru he'd kill them without a second thought."

Sango winced. "If he really doesn't care about humans in the way you say he does, then why does that one little girl keep following him around?"

"Girl?"

Miroku sweatdropped. "You didn't see that little girl hiding behind Sesshomaru?"

InuYasha shook his head. "Well, maybe he's not so coldhearted as I thought."

Sango nodded. 'I hope Kikyou doesn't make a big mistake ... by falling for Sesshomaru.'

A/N: Anyway, here is my Christmas gift to you all! An update. My other two fics as well as my COMING SOON Bleach fic, will be updated and created when This sequel is done. After this fic, I might do a series of one-shots starring Kikyou and Inuyasha. I like doing this in Kikyou's P.o.v. :) But right now, I gotta go. I'm watching Pirates of the Carribean. Got both of them for Christmas!
