Okay, okay, okay! If you must know, this story will not end horribly. I do realize the last chapter was a little harsh, but I wanted to try something different. So, for all of you who didn't quite like the last chapter, I give you this one. Enjoy!

...Kagome was seething inside and out, her hands clenched. Leaving the study, she followed him. "Sesshoumaru!" she yelled and everyone out in the hall seemed to stop what they were doing. Even time seemed to stop during this moment. Sesshoumaru stopped and turned his back at her. Kagome walked in front of him and glared.

"Why cannot you ask, Sesshoumaru? Is it not enough that you-"

"Silence woman."

"No, Sesshoumaru. We will talk about this, either in private or publicly." Kagome said, her voice firm. Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed.

"This Sesshoumaru will not discuss this with you anymore."

"We are not done."

"We are!"

"If we are, then I am leaving." Kagome said, her voice threatening. Sesshoumaru stared deep into those blue-gray eyes and saw she was not backing down. Sesshoumaru knew everyone was watching and he growled, sending out an aura to make everyone shiver in fear and flee. Kagome noticed and smirked bitterly.

"What is it, Sesshoumaru? Afraid that your servants will see your embarrassment?" Kagome said and Sesshoumaru growled louder than before. He quickly grabbed her arm and held it tightly, almost making her wince.

"You do good to listen to this Sesshoumaru and leave me be." he threatened, his eyes dark. He threw her arm away from him and walked away. Sesshoumaru walked away from her and out the front doors of his palace. He commanded someone to put her in his room until he returned.

"NO, Sesshoumaru!" Kagome yelled at him. Sesshoumaru stopped. He turned to fully look at her. Kagome did not back down; even when Sesshoumaru's face was clearly furious.

"You killed my child and you think I should be okay with it! I'm NOT okay with it! I want my child back! Of all things you have done, Sesshoumaru, I would have never thought you would go as far as to kill your own child!" Kagome yelled, sad tears running down her face.

"I could have loved my... our... child. You know I would have. . ." Kagome's sentence trailed off. "You would have too." she whispered, now falling to her knees. She sat there, tears coursing down her cheeks, as she cried. Her long brunette hair covering her face and eyes. Sesshoumaru stood there. When the servants heard their Lady's outburst, they quickly scampered away. They were not sure who to be afraid of at that time. Their Lord or their Lady...

Kagome. Sesshoumaru thought as he watched his love cry. He watched her cry a moment longer before calling for someone to help her. He waited until the servant came before taking his leave.

...Kagome clenched the silk sheets in her hands; the silent tears running down her face. She did not have to wait long for Tansho to come inside and see to her.

"Lady..." Tansho whispered into the silent room. Kagome was facing the wall and laying on one side of the bed. Tansho frowned, knowing the young girl was crying. When Kagome did not answer her call, she brought a chair near her bedside, and soon went to get a wet rag. The old herb mistress sat by Kagome's side as she dabbed the wet rag on her Lady's brow. Kagome laid her head on Tansho's lap and closed her eyes, the tears still falling.

Sesshoumaru... could I ever forgive you?

...Sesshoumaru stood in the middle of his garden, overlooking everything. He knew he had killed her... no... their, child. The child... pup... would have been his heir. He was wrong and he knew it. It only made it worse that Kagome found out so soon and that she blew up the way she did.

He should have saw it coming.

He inwardly sighed as he walked through the grass, past a still growing Sakura tree. He closed his eyes, breathing evenly. He stopped. She will hate him. She does hate him. He knew she would have loved the pup. She was right. She was even right about him loving it. But he would be damned if he, Lord of the West, admitted it.

His pride is what hurts him... and now, the person he loves is paying for it.

Sesshoumaru tried going on with his day, finding little things to do. He even went out with Ah-Un to get out of the castle. It did not help. Days past and Kagome had not left the room, not once. Sesshoumaru refused to be in the same room with her, not wanting to see how depressed she was... or see the hate that he knew would be visible in her eyes. So, he decided to sleep in another room. A room at another floor and hall. Away from the sniffles and cries at night when the servants were asleep. He wished the cries could not reach him, but they did.

They always did.

He knew it should be him down there taking care of Kagome. Not Tansho. He is supposed to be down there, holding her in his arms, comforting her. He should have been the one to bury their child... him.

...Tansho petted the young girl's head as the girl tried her best to sleep.

"Tansho... why? Why would Sesshoumaru do... that?" Kagome asked again. She had been asking that same question since the day Sesshoumaru had her sent to this room.

You are breaking this poor girl, Sesshoumaru. Tansho thought as she slowly stroked Kagome's hair.

"He was not in his right mind." Tansho answered.

"The baby would have been beautiful." Kagome said, the tears still leaking from her eyes.

"Just like its mother." Tansho whispered, wiping Kagome's tears away. "It is late, you should sleep." Tansho whispered and after a moment, Kagome nodded off to sleep.

Tansho sighed as she situated the girl into bed. She stroked her cheek and sighed. Sesshoumaru...

...More weeks passed and Kagome continued to cry, but Tansho had not too long noticed that her cries seemed to be for a different reason.

"My Lady--" Tansho began, but were cut off by Kagome.

"Why won't Sesshoumaru come to see me?" Kagome asked, looking away from the Herb Mistress. Tansho was surprised.

"Its so he won't hear my cries... isn't it?"

"Who told you such thing?" Tansho asked quickly, coming around the bed to sit by her side.

"I've heard it from the servants..."

"Who-- what maid?" Kagome shook her head.

"It doesn't matter... if it's true." Kagome answered. "I... I heard he sleeps in another room above this floor... so he ... so he won't hear my cries at night." Kagome said, looking at her clenched fists. "He tries his best to avoid this door... this door..." Kagome said, her voice now sad.

"Kagome..."

Kagome shook her head once more. "Don't tell me anything else unless it's not true."

There was silence on Tansho's behalf.

"It is true." Kagome said, her hands now resting on her lap.

"Should I call for him?" The Herb Mistress asked.

"Would he come... if I asked for him?" Kagome replied.

"I am sure he will." Tansho lied. She was not really sure if Sesshoumaru would come to her if the girl asked it of him.

"Could you--"

"I'll go get him now, Mi' Lady."

...Sesshoumaru had just left the room upstairs when Kagome's Herb Mistress came rushing his way.
