Authors note: Salutations! What's up? How has your lives been for awhile? It's been a bit but not really too long. Anyways I have tickets to go see Eclipse on opening night. No, not so that I can enjoy the movie, so that me and my best friends (minus my boyfriend Zach because he doesn't wanting his parents thinking were off doing certain things at 2 in the morning) Are going to dress up in Harry Potter clothes/costumes and wait in line to make fun of the movie! Anyways, Enjoy!

Peace in!

Memories

Chapter 7: healing takes time, and time takes patience.

"well that's just great." I said as I tried to get up and immediately screamed in pain when I did so. Sesshomaru was by my side in a matter of seconds. "You shouldn't stress yourself out." He said and then I noticed Rin's eyes widen. "Lord Sesshomaru! Why do you have red marks on your cheeks and a blue crescent moon on your forehead?" She asked as she pushed his long white hair out of his face so she could see it better.

Sesshomaru immediately jumped up and looked for something he could see his reflection in. "Jaken." He said in that cold and emotionless voice he used on anybody who needed his authority. "I need a mirror. Now." He said. He stomped off into the forest when Jaken was unable to provide any help for that. Jaken stayed here with us and complained about having to baby-sit to girls. "Mi lord needs to rethink he's choice in company." He told us as he told Rin to go to bed. She didn't want to until Sesshomaru got back but eventually complied with his orders and wrapped up in Sesshomaru's shirt.

I watched as Rin fell asleep. She looked even younger, innocent and naïve while she was sleeping and it quickly made me think of the story of Alice in Wonderland. Alice fell down a rabbit hole into a new world known as Underland. Everything was different there compared to her time. That was too much like what was happening to me right now. The only difference was I didn't have a mad and hot looking Johnny Depp fallowing me around. Instead, I had a cold, odd, breathtaking and beautiful (yes, men can be beautiful, I assure you) Sesshomaru hanging around me. I was glad I had Sessh over The Mad Hatter.

Slowly I felt myself fall asleep.

~Dream~

I was running in the forest. There's was cold laughter filling the air as a sword almost came in contact with my arm. I screamed and turned around to see Inuyasha wielding the sword in all his glory. "what The hell, Inuyasha? You can't do this kind of shit to people!" I screamed as I wrapped my arms around my blotted stomach protectively. Was I…Pregnant? "You left me for him!" He screamed as he pulled his sword hack and prepared to attempt to hack of one of my limbs again.

He began to lower his sword and I started to scream at the top of my lungs. Suddenly, the sword stopped, and no matter how hard Inuyasha pushed, it refused to move. I looked behind me to see who was protecting me and saw Sesshomaru standing in a fairly feminine fighting kimono in all his glory.

His golden eyes met mine and he nodded before ripping the sword from Inuyasha's grip. "Leave." Sesshomaru said as he began to advance on him while he pulled his own sword on him.

Inuyasha looked at him worriedly for a few moments before glaring at me and pointed towards me, "beware Kagome. Kikyo and I will fight back." He told me and then he ran off.

Sesshomaru put his sword back from whatever it was before walking towards me and wrapping his arms around me so he could hold me against his chest. "Are you ok, Kags?" he asked as he put a hand on my blotted stomach. I was pregnant, and from what I could tell, I was pregnant with Sesshomaru's child.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I told him as I fainted in his arms.

~Reality~

I woke up with a start.

Sesshomaru and Jaken were still up and they were talking by the fire. The sun was just rising and Rin wasn't up yet. I slowly sat up and Sesshomaru's attention was immediately directed towards me. "Does your ankle still hurt?" he asked as he walked over towards me, sat down and wrapped his arm around my waist, which sent chills up my spine in a good way. "Not right now, but I don't have any pressure on it at the moment, which would explain why." I reminded him and he nodded before getting up and holding his 2 hands before me, obviously expecting me to take them and try to stand.

I grasp them and pull myself up before screaming in pain. "Holy Fuck!" I Scream as I fall back to the ground and wake up Rin. "Lord Sesshomaru! Lady Kagome said a cuss word!" She screamed while I laid on the ground in pain.

"Jaken." Sesshomaru said in his emotionless voice he really only used on people he needed to boss around "Yes mi lord?" Jaken asked in a worried and strained voice. Why was it Jaken always watched what he said around Sesshomaru? "Go find Kaede and bring her to this Sesshomaru. I need to speak to her." He said in that same tone before watching Jaken run off towards the village. He then snapped his head back towards Rin and softened his gaze. "She cussed. Lord Sesshomaru." She stated angrily. "hn." Was his reply before he looked at me again. "Need anything?" he asked and I shook my head. He sat back down beside me and I rested my hand on his shoulder. He was cold and warm at the same time. It was very comforting with all the pain that was shooting up my leg like daggers.

Rin got out of bed and started picking flowers to make me feel better.

I was very happy sitting there with Sesshomaru's arm around me and my head on his shoulder but when Jaken came back with Kaede, Sesshomaru got up to speak with her.

I could only wonder what he was going to say.

Authors note; So that was that! Was it any good? I'm guessing it was ok, not good but ok. I'm trying to focus on Sesshomaru and Kagome's relationship so I can hurry things up a bit more (not that that's not obvious at all) Anyways review!

Peace in!
