Sigh... Could the day drag on any longer? You thought to yourself as you, Kagome and Yorri walked the market place in the village outside of the castle. Your stomach hurt as your little bundle was just kick kick kicking away. Even the baby didn't want to be there. Another sigh left your lips as villagers of beautiful fur, and kimonoes stared at you. Glared almost.

You glared back holding your belly protectively, a small hiss left your lips as a female dog demon walked up to you"So you're the little feline slut." She spoke with such a matter of fact tone that your blood boiled.

"Excuse you?" You spat the question at her hands in tight little fists at your side. You didn't know her but the smell of her was foul and stung your nose.

"You heard me flea bag." She looked at Kagome ignoring you now and you could feel your tempature rising. Yorri smiled some and pulled out some powder bags handing them to you. All too knowing. The dog demon stared at Kagome, "You smell like old sex."
Kagome fumed instantly, "YOU ARE BARKIN' UP THE WRONG TREE LASSIE!" the remark had everyone confused. You just sat there blank thinking who the fuck is Lassie.

Digging in the bags you searched for the transforming powder and took a sprinkle in your palm awaiting for the right moment. "Keep talkin' mutt." You wanted her to say the right words.

"You know what Sesshomaru will hear of this. I am his lover after all. For years now." And with that the right words were said. You blew the powder in her face in a quick angry huff. Her form shrunk and poofed fur white and poofy in some areas, and her bare skin showing in others.

"A poodle? You changed her in a poodle?" Kagome looked down at the so called poodle and picked her up. The thing started yapping up a storm making you smile, a thought of the time InuYasha was transformed.

"Back to the castle I am tired of this day. I put up with this charade long enough." Yorri spoke up this time and snagged the poodle and stomped to the castle. Unwillingly Kagome followed you, who was all too happy to leave the town behind.

~That Night~

Soon Sesshomaru would be home after scenting him in the night wind. "He will answer the question of her." You thrusted your thumb towards the now muzzled poodle. Irritated with Kagome at calling the thing an ankle biter.

If being pregnate didn't make your ankles sore then that damn dog sure did. Yet another sigh left your lips as the front doors opened in a dramatic way. The shadow standing there smelled and formed too familiar.

"Sesshy-kins!" Yorri cried arms wide open wrapping him in a hug you found too funny. "You had a visitor today."

He looked at Yorri before prying her off of his arm and walked over to you slinking an arm around your waist pulling you close but carefully. "Oh?"

"Yes too bad we had to leash and muzzle her." Yorri continued.

You rolled your eyes at the short conversation pulling away from him. Gliding over in what graceful way you could muster you snagged the still yapping mutt from Kagome and threw her on the floor in front of Sessomaru, blowing powder on her once more.

Slowly she began to take her true form, "Why I Never! You will surely hear from my nobles!" She was pointing at you with one well manicured claw and her brown eyes were almost fiery red. Her red hair almost looked unnatural with her white tail. You just rolled your eyes.

Soon she caught sight of Sesshomaru who looked completely disgusted at her. This left you feeling smug. "I thought I told you, you were banned from these lands." He spoke coldly. The point that the room had chilled. Never have you even seen this coldness from him even from your first meeting.

"But, I just had to return to my lover." She coyed.

"You are not my lover." Looking at you he added, "Neomikyu is. And a much more rare and beautiful flower then you will ever be."

You couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

"She is a slut carrying another's child" The woman lied. Poorly you might have added.

"She bares my kin. She was with no other but me before and even after the time of the conceaving." He spoke down to her and you could see her shrinking. Her petty attempts annoyed you, but you walked over to Sesshomaru's side who then wrapped his arm around you dominating and point proven.

A pain erupted in your lower areas though and you felt wetness leave your body. You wetted yourself, and with another surge of pain you knew exactly what was wrong. In front of this stranger that belittled your name and with your love back in your home. The baby was coming.

~Sesshomaru's p.o.v.~

You noticed Neomikyu clinging to her stomach and the change in the air said it all. Kagome rushed over and Yorri, asissted with two guards, drug that tainted woman from your sight. A woman you never wanted to see again. And thought you wouldn't have.

"The baby..." Her voice was strained with pain and you quickly scooped her in your arms and rushed to the village to the medicine woman. You normally wouldn't have done such but you remember the day she came to town. Lady Kaede, Kagome had called her.

Bursting into the hut at such hour had caused the elder a fright, and as she assessed the situation she quickly recovered. Grabbing your arm she lead you to an already made bed for Neomikyu who was huffing and puffing now. Small beads of sweat graced your lover's brow and this concerned you. "Come Lord, lay your mate here."

You followed orders and she took her place between Neomikyu's legs peering to see the progress.

"We need to wait. She is not yet ready." The rest of the group had arrived at this time also showing was your half brother, Inuyasha who was making snide comments on how it must not hurt that bad. Looking in your lover's eyes you knew your brother had no idea. Her pain was almost your pain and it broke your heart.

Kagome took her place by Neomikyu's left and you took your's at her right, both holding her hands. "It's ok just breathe Neo." The shortened name had caught you off guard as it left Kagome's lips but you quickly returned your attention.

"My love, this is my fault." She looked confused at your hushed words.

"Sesshomaru, this is a miracle. Not a fault, and even so, a fault you should be proud of. Our baby is coming into life." Her voice was harsh now and the elderly woman had told her to shush as to relax. You glared at the elderly woman for this. Panic, happiness, and worry over washed you in new feelings and conserns.

Hours later Neomikyu was screaming into the night as Lady Kaede instructed her to push and to breathe. Your hand pained as she squeezed with all her might at each push. So much so that Kagome couldn't partake in such pain, instead dabbing Neomikyu's forehead with a damp cloth.

With one final and painful push, a soft cry sounded. It was tiny and rather angry. The little life that was inside your mate was now in the elder's arms. "It's a girl."

Though sweaty tired and pained, Neomikyu reached out before her to grab the bloody baby. "Lemme have.."

"Patence and rest I will clean her for you." And the elder did so, cleaning the tiny life in a small tub near. "Think of a name for this new kin."

"Anya." The name was beautiful as it left your mate's lips.

"Little Anya.." You spoke the name and knew it was right for her. Neomikyu's eyes lit up from your voice and the way you said your new baby daughter's name. Soon the elderly woman returned with Anya in a fresh cloth wrapped and warm, sleeping soundly. She placed the tiny baby in your mate's arms and as you inclosed her in your arms you knew this was the perfect moment of your perfect family.

Anya had beautiful blue tuff of hair and small white cat like ears, but a rather poofy white tail much like your own. The small pink cheeks stood out against her moon white skin and she sucked on her tiny little hands a small fang poking out between her lips before they inclosed her tiny little didget.

"My little baby, my Anya." Neomikyu's arms were ever strong for the baby, but her body tired and soon she and Anya were fast asleep in your arms. Your mate, your daughter, and you yourself, had survived the miracle of life in this small hut. Taking your growing family back to your castle you were careful as you carried your baby, and mother, up to your chambers.

The lush bed would provide excellent comfort for the tired family, you stormed the stairs and rushed to your chambers. Opening the door to the room you strode carefully holding Neomikyu with one firm arm you threw the lush covers back placing her in the bed baby close to her chest. Secure and pride over washed your emotions as you walked over to the other side after tucking her in and after climbing in you held her close and let sleep take you as well.
