I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!

Last Time

Sesshomaru looked at the miko in front of him, how can she be so shy and she's pregnant. Taking kagome by the hand he helped her to her feet, when she was done getting dress he walked up to her and said, "Come." As he picked her up bridal style and headed to camp.

Now

Early that morning the little group sat out to the castle, they had been walking for a good half a day now and kagome's feet was starting to hurt her, but she would not dear open her mouth. Sesshomnaru looked out the corner of his eye to see kagome slowing down, why couldn't that stubborn woman just open her month and say she was tired.

"Kagome, why don't you just tell lord sesshomaru you're tired?" Sango whispered to her little sister.

"I'm fine sango." Kagome said as she welds herself to walk while feel like a two ton hut.

"It's obvious that you're tired, you're as big as a beach ball." Miroku said having knew what a beach ball is.

Kagome stopped dead in her tracts having heard what miroku said. "You…hiccup…think I'm…hiccup…fat?" Kagome asked miroku as she stood there crying.

Sesshomaru stopped having heard kagome cry from behind him, and having heard what miroku said. "Miroku what the hell is wrong with you." Sango asked as she went to kagome. "Don't cry kagome, you're not fat."

"Yes I am...hiccup…I feel like a two ton hut." Kagome said as she sat there on the ground crying.

"Kagome I didn't mean it, what I meant is…" Miroku was cut off when he saw sesshomaru glancing at him with an 'open your month and you're dead look.'

"come on kagome, you're carrying a baby, as long as the man you love thinks you look good, it's fine." Sango said rubbing her back.

"That's just it sango, inuyasha went off with kikyo and his not coming back for me." Kagome cried, hearing those words leave her month, sesshomaru felt a pain in his heart. For some reason what she had just said hurt him and he saw not sure why.

Brushing the pain aside, he walked up to kagome. "Woman, cease your crying at once." He said as he picked her up bridal style. "You will upset the pup."

"Is that all you care about the pup, do you even care about the person carrying your precious pup." Kagome asked as she tried to get out of sesshomaru's hold.

"Woman be still." Sesshomaru growled as he kept his hold on kagome, "how can she say that, she knows nothing about this sesshomaru."

"Well maybe you should let her see how we were before SHE died."

"Never, I will never let someone else see the other side of this sesshomaru."

"She is our mate; therefore she has all the right to know."

"She has the right to nothing, she is our mate but not by choice."

"Why do you have to be so stubborn, she is who I pick therefore she is ours in every way, can't you see that."

"I see nothing and no one but kimiko."

"She's dead, kimiko has been dead for over 200 years, let it go man."

"…it is not that easy when she was our mate, we also lost our unborn pup."

"And if you keep this up we will lose another." His beast growled out in anger as he left. Sesshomaru looked down at the woman that was trying to get out of his arms, "please stop, I do not wish to lose another mate and pup." He whispered for only her to hear as he buried his nose in the side of her neck.

Kagome stood there with wide eyes, did he just say he lost his mate and pup. When did that happen, is that why he was so cold to everyone? While thinking about it, kagome felt herself getting jealous, "why am I getting jealous, it's not like I love him, I love inuyasha…right?"

"I'm sorry sesshomaru, I…I just…I'm sorry." Kagome said as she looked away from him.

Sesshomaru looked down at her; he had smelt jealousy in her aura, why? Was she not in love with his half-brother, turning to look in miroku's direction he said, "monk the castle is a day away at the neko's speed, I am going to take the miko to get some rest at the castle." With that he was gone.

It took sesshomaru an hour to get to the castle, when they got there; he heard kagome gasp and said. "It's beautiful."

"This sesshomaru takes it you like his home?" Sesshomaru asked looking down at her in his arms and for some odd reason he thought she looked good there.

"Yes it's very beautiful." Kagome said looking up at him. "Do…do you have a garden?"

"Yes, this sesshomaru had it made of the most beautiful flowers for this sesshomaru's ma…mother." Sesshomaru said as he looked away from kagome with sadness in his eyes.

"Do you miss her…I mean your mate." Kagome asked as she felt her heart tighten a little. "Why does my heart hurt, it's not like I love him, I mean he raped me and mated me without my approval right. So why does it hurt every time he thinks of her."

"Come you need rest." Sesshomaru said ignoring kagome's question. Sesshomaru walked to his room and laid kagome on the bed. "I will send for sosuke, he will be your personal guard and nana will be your personal maid."

"I do not need a personal maid." Kagome said as she sat in the bed. "And I will not stay in bed all day either."

"You will not argue with this sesshomaru." Sesshomaru growled at kagome, seeing the look on her face he said. "Sosuke will accompany you where ever you want to go."

"Is it ok if I go to the garden?" Kagome asked before sesshomaru can walk out the door.

"Sosuke will accompany you, I will send for him." With that sesshomaru left foe his study.

"When did you get back fluffy?" Sosuke said as he walks into sesshomaru's study.

"How many times do I have to tell you, don't call this sesshomaru such ridiculous names." Sesshomaru growled at sosuke.

"Well let's see...about a hundred times."

"Yet you still do so, do you wish to have an early death?"

"If you were to kill me old friend, you would've done so 200 years ago."

"You are to guard this sesshomaru's mate." Sesshomaru said ignoring what sosuke said.

Sosuke stood there with wide eyes, "kim…kimiko's back?"

"Don't be ridiculous sosuke, how can someone who died 200 years ago come back."

"Then why do you have a mate? I thought you said you would never take another after her."

"My beast had other plans while I was in heat."

"I see, so where is the new mate?"

"She is in my bed chambers, she wishes to go to the gardens, you will take her there, and you are not to leave her side."

"You treating her like you treated kimiko; she must be worth it, huh?"

"You may leave now." Sesshomaru said as he dismissed sosuke not bothering to answer his question.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

Kagome sat on the bed when she heard a knock came at the door, "come in." kagome said from the inside.

When sosuke walked through the door he stopped dead in his track as his eyes went wide with surprise. "Kim…kimiko."

Kagome sat there watching sosuke, who was this kimiko person, then it hit her. He was calling her sesshomaru's old mate's name; it was like the kikyo incident all over again. "No it's kagome not kimiko, ka-go-me." Kagome said a little annoyed.

"Sorry milady, it's just that you looked like an old friend." Sosuke said as he bowed.

"It's ok, so are you here to take to the gardens?" Kagome asked looking at sosuke.

"Yes milady."

"Oh come off it, enough with the milady stuff, you will call me kagome"

"But milady…"

"No butts, only my friends call me kagome and since you will be with me half the time, you will be my friend therefore you will call me kagome."

"As you wish kagome, so shill we be off to the gardens?"

"I would really love that." Kagome said as she got off the bed, as she and sosuke walked to the gardens.
