Chapter 6:

Dr. Kagura Hiro shut her cell phone with a smile and apologized to her date. "Expectant father," She explained as her ruby red eyes took in his form. Sesshomaru Taisho owned the Club Inu in which they were currently dinning. He was a gorgeous but moody piece of ass, and up until her phone conversation he had seemed ready to leave.

"Forgive me, but that sounded very much like Mr. Kouga Wolfe," Sesshomaru probed with a bored tone as he sipped his wine.

"Well, doctor/patient confidentiality… but I trust you. Yes, you heard right, their 3 month appointment is next week," Kagura confided.

"He's expecting a hanyou?" Sesshomaru asked unable to hide his surprise.

"No, Wolfe is expecting a little female Elemental," Kagura further indulged, this was the most the Inu had shown interest all night and she was drinking it up.

"An Elemental… that would mean that…" Sesshomaru nearly dropped his wine glass. The thought that whispered through his mind, made his Beast go rabid. Trying to hold his composure and bored façade as best he could he asked, "Could you indulge the name of the mother?"

"A new singer of Wolfe's… I believe. Her name escapes me. The pup will be gorgeous; both parents have black hair and blue eyes…"

The description was cut off there, "I need to leave," Sesshomaru interrupted as he threw some bills on the table and walked quickly out of the restaurant to his car. His Beast was at the surface and wanted a taste of Wolfe! He had trusted that mangy bastard…

Forget the car, he could turn into a fucking ball of light and watch his poison take the life of a demon he had considered a friend. At the thought he found himself in front of Kouga's home, his demon hearing picking up howling and laughter… familiar female laughter.

Sesshomaru invited himself in, disarming alarms with his poison/acid, slowly making his way to the living room where the howls, laughter and talking were coming from. His approach was silent and unscented.

On the floor lay a stomach swelled Kagome flushed from laughing and smiling down at Kouga who was howling in the general direction of her belly button. The taught skin would flutter, as the pup reacted to the howls. One happy family, and it disgusted Sesshomaru, it ate him alive with jealousy.

"Will you ever tell Sayuri the truth?" Kouga asked as the playful aura receded. He was trying to make eye contact with Kagome with no success. "What about her father, will he ever know he has a pup out there? I wanted you to tell him, hell, I was going to tell him; but now I could just keep you both to myself and die a happy demon."

"I can assist you with that," Sesshomaru replied coldly as he made his presence known. Kouga was on his feet, with Kagome behind him in mere seconds. Moving his eyes from the wolf he had trusted, to the miko he had fucked. "Tell me Kagome, WHO is the real father of your 'pup'?"

Moving past Kouga but her hands braced to protect her stomach she faced off with Sesshomaru. "It is none of your damn business you presumptuous ass!"

"Presumptuous?" Sesshomaru asked with a raised brow.

"Yes, you think Sayuri is Bank's!" Kagome nearly screamed as her aura began to fill the room.

"Kagome, the pup… you can't flare like that," Kouga soothed, placing his hands on her shoulders despite the burn.

"Oh Sayuri, mama is so sorry," Kagome whispered as she cradled her stomach. Soft growls and barks leaving her mouth without her knowledge.

"Stop that nonsense," Sesshomaru stated coldly until he heard the pups muffled responses. (A response Sayuri had started shortly after the "the howling incident" at the Birds of Paradise Studies. Kouga, of course, called Dr. Hiro.) The father of Kagome's pup was a canine demon, no other demons barked and growled while in the womb, even if only half canine. Hell, it probably reacted to the howling because it wanted to learn to communicate. "Who is the pup's father? He must be made aware."

"Really, if it were you Sesshomaru, would you want to know what resulted after one night?" Kagome asked bitterly, still rubbing her stomach as if to sooth the pup.

"I take care of my responsibilities, and this Sesshomaru is cautious in such matters," Sesshomaru responded with a glare, feeling very disappointed in Kagome's sexual behavior. He always checked the females he was with for the smell of being pupped before leaving. How dare she presume him to be so irresponsible?

"Bullshit Sesshomaru! Are you saying you have never had The Beast take over and wake up the next morning not knowing what the hell happened?" Sesshomaru stiffened; she didn't need to throw that one time in his face. "Are you abso-fucking-lutely sure there is no way that Sayuri could be yours?"

"Absolutely…" Sesshomaru replied in a disgusted tone, he was a responsible demon. Kagome paled and left the room at a run, when he turned to look at Kouga he was met with a fist to the face.

The once ice blue eyes bled red, "You don't deserve them, and now get the fuck out before I rip you apart!" Kouga's Beast growled, he was acting like he was protecting his mate and pup.

Sesshomaru was having trouble processing the situation that had occurred. Nothing had gone as planned, and he knew it was best to leave in the same speedy method in which he arrived. This Sesshomaru had missed some facts of great significance; and he had to discover what those facts were.

Kouga found Kagome in the bath tub curled up and crying, "I promise to believe your motherly intuition from now on."

She gurgled, a mixture of laughter and tears, as he lay in the tub with her and spooned. Gently rubbing her stomach he growled low, letting the vibrations sooth both pup and mother. Kouga smiled into her hair, "Ready for me to carry you upstairs now?"

A yawn and nod were his reply; he carried her bridal style to her room and watched her snuggle under the covers. "PJs?" she mumbled. Kouga tossed a pair of maternity sweats and matching tank top with a built-in bra. "Go put on pajamas and snuggles with us, it's been a hard day."

Kouga smiled and shook his head, "I won't look if you don't. Sleeping beside you and Sayuri is like cuddling a furnace; I have to sleep in my boxers." His demon hearing heard her clothing being shuffled and slid over skin.

Apparently dressed she looked up to see his back and him only in boxers. "Take pity on my pregnancy hormones, you can't look that good! Go get ugly! You might get raped by a pregnant Miko!"

Turning around he found that at the sight of his muscles, Kagome stared then pouted and actually growled.

"Hush, and scoot over." Kouga instructed with a chuckle.

"Easy for you to say, you are sharing the bed with a beach ball not Mr. Good Body…" Kagome mumbled. This woman would be the death of him.

She always had to say things like that, made him punch Sesshomaru Taisho in the face, trust underlings with important contracts that could make or break his livelihood… and he wanted more. What he regretted most was possibly saying too much to Taisho, the guy was an ass not an idiot. Eventually, he'd figure it out… and Kouga worried that their long history together and the love she once had for the silver headed bastard would cause him to loose Kagome. His only hope was that she overlooked the wedding invitation again tomorrow.

Luck stayed with Kouga as Kagome was too preoccupied growling with Sayuri before he informed her it was time to get out of bed.

"Do you know that you growl at Sayuri?" Kouga asked as he stretched.

Kagome's big blue eyes looked at him curiously, "What do you mean that I growl? Why would I growl at my pup?"

Kouga got out of the bed and walked to the door, "It's common for canine pups and parents to growl, bark, whimper, and even howl to soothe each other. Like a secret language. Just your motherly instincts kicking in, I guess."

"Maybe we should call Dr. Hiro to make sure…" Kagome teased.

"Don't tease me, woman, I just might," Kouga said with a wink before walking to his room to shower and change.

Kagome just laughed as she grabbed some stylish black and distressed maternity cords with a blank maternity tank top with a gray fishnet over shirt. She slid on her black converse with 'Hello Kitty' shoelaces and was ready to go. Bed head was fine with her, maybe she would put it up in a messy bun later… but she needed food.

Entering the kitchen to a smiling Kaede, they exchanged "Good Morning", "Kaede, can I please have some pancakes sausage, hash browns and peaches?"

"Little Sayuri is very hungry this morning, less then two months dear Kagome, we are all so excited," Kaede gushed as she quickly whipped up the desired foods and placed them before Kagome with a glass of milk and orange juice. Kaede already had Kouga's ham and syrup on the table waiting as he ran down the stairs buttoning his shirt and getting his hands tangled in his tie.

"Today you will be doing that song with Hiten; I think that should be good enough for today. After last night, you and Sayuri should rest today." Kouga said as one hand worked the tie and the other shoveled food in his mouth. He was too adorable for words.

"Put down the fork and let me do your tie, goofus," Kagome said laughing as she fixed the knotted mess Kouga had managed. "There, now those ladies won't stand a chance."

With a shrug and a forkful of food in his mouth, Kouga grinned. "Come on girlies, let's get to Birds of Paradise before Hiten starts calling."

Hiten had been practicing for ten minutes, when Kouga and Kagome entered the studio. Hiten was on their heels as Kouga opened a recording studio, "Miko, we need to kick ass to show that Bank bastard how it's done!"

"I wouldn't do any other way Hiten," Kagome replied before practicing her scales. The lonely strum of a guitar filled Kagome's ears and she waited for husk of Hiten's voice.

Hiten Kudo
Kagome Higrashi
Both

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away, you don't feel me, here anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone

You've gone away

You don't feel me here anymore

Kouga was beyond impressed in the booth, it was perfection. Except Hiten demanded singing through two more times.

His perfectionism could be a pain in the ass, but Kagome smiled. This song felt good, any remaining anger or sadness she released as she sang. It was cathartic, even Sayuri seemed to stop and listen. Kagome just prayed she hadn't inadvertently introduced this song as a lullaby for her little girl. This was neither classical nor Baby Einstein, she realized she really needed to finish reading those parenting books… or ask Kouga; the man had those books memorized.

"That's it for Kagome," Kouga announced, people rarely used her real name choosing Miko or Mama, "We had a rough night and I know my girls need to relax."

"Damn, when I start having little demons… shoot me if I get that whipped," Hiten joked with Kagome.

"If you get pregnant with little demons, I'm selling the story to the tabloids," Kagome replied with a smirk, "And I don't think you have the hips for birthing!"

"Damn, a watermelon coming out something the size of a lemon… Just killed my boner," Hiten pointed at Kagome's stomach, "She just growled at me, was she doing that yesterday?"

"Sayuri does that now," Kouga answered as he joined the duo, "Pup don't put up with NO shit from NO body!"

"Just like her daddy," Hiten replied shaking his head as he left the room, "I'm gone, being chastised by a fetus has reached my weird shit quota for the day."

Leaning against Kouga, Kagome had to agree. Last night the father of her pup had denied any possibility of parentage, and had looked at her with pure disgust that had torn her heart in half. She cuddled into Kouga, 'Thank God for Kouga, my Superman' and little Sayuri seemed to growl in agreement.

"Let's get my girlies home," Kouga whispered into Kagome's hair, "I really want you to relax today, and I'll do all my work from my office if you need me."

The ride home was quiet as Kagome slept, and Kouga carried her inside. Kaede brought up a tray of food for dinner with a wide smile. "Kouga sent a note."

Picking up the piece of paper, Kagome started laughing, "'Eat it all then go to sleep, see you in the morning girlies. Love, Kouga.' "Guess we have our orders."

After finishing her meal and placing the tray outside her door as instructed, Kagome slipped on her pajamas and went to sleep.

Kouga sat in his office with the phone glued to his ear and his fingers playing a symphony of clicks on his laptop, he loved his job but once the pup was born Kouga planned to delegate even more; if Sayuri and Kagome remained constants in his life.

Kagome had noticed the stack of mail accumulating on one of her nightstands and had designated the night after all recordings were finished that she would go through it all… but right now, she had to get her ass dressed. Kagome looked in her closet and smiled, Kouga knew a demon designer who took care of the rich and pregnant, getting Kagome set up with a fashionable maternity wardrobe. With her ever expanding stomach, the 'enchanted elastic' made everything fit. Tattered blue jeans with a red thermal covered with a black t-shirt that read 'Demon on Board' on the stomach. Her long blue black hair was up in messy pig tails; she slid on her black converse with 'Hello Kitty' shoelaces and headed down the stairs.

The previously ordered breakfast was before her, but instead of peaches, were pineapple. Thanking Kaede, Kagome began to dig in.

Kouga walked in the kitchen looking tired, but smiled for the ladies. Barely touching breakfast, "Two songs today, day off tomorrow, two songs after that, and then… the first Miko album is finished. Then we have a doctor appointment…"

Kouga began to massage his temples, until warm hands began to work his shoulders and neck. He could have howled from the pleasure, "Thank you Kouga," Kagome whispered as she continued working up to a scalp massage. Kouga felt all his stress and fatigue melt away, other than his sprouting erection; he was ready to face the day.

Kagome heard the violin and piano and thought of her latest run in with Sesshomaru. She now knew the answer to her song, she thought bitterly. Playing the piano had been a balm to her soul to pre-record and soothed Sayuri.

Kagome Higrashi
Rin, Soten and Kagome
(Soten Kudo)

Under your spell again.
I can't say no to you.
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand.
I can't say no to you.

Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
I can't breathe but I feel...

Good enough,
I feel good enough for you.

Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you,
And I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
Can't believe that I feel...

Good enough,
I feel good enough.
It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good.

And I'm still waiting for therain to fall.
Pour real life down on me.
'Cause I can't hold onto anything this good enough.
Am I good enough for you to love me too?

(ahhhh ohhhh yeah)

So take care what you ask of me,
'cause I can't say no.

Kouga could feel the pain through the glass that separated them, but it had made the song so eerily beautiful in its strength. She smiled a wobbly smile at him, which he returned. It looked like Soten wanted to hug Kagome, as she too sensed the pain, but didn't move as Kagome gave her the same wobbly smile. She was trying to be strong, and wanted others to believe it, even if they were pretending.

"I'm ready for the next song," Kagome announced into her microphone. So like a good wolf, Kouga started the track.

Piano tracks that Kagome had laid down earlier played in her ears and she smiled.

Kagome Higrashi
Rin, Soten and Kagome

I will wander 'til the end of time, torn away from you.

I pulled away to face the pain.
I close my eyes and drift away.
Over the fear that I will never find
A way to heal my soul.
And I will wander 'til the end of time
Torn away from you.

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold
Over my heart… heart

I can't go on living this way
But I can't go back the way I came
Chained to this fear that I will never find
A way to heal my soul
And I will wander 'til the end of time
Half alive without you

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us

Change - open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long, oh so long
Say goodbye, goodbye

My heart is broken
Release me, I can't hold on
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold

"That's a wrap," Kouga announced, then watched Kagome hand a sheaf of papers to Soten with a smile.

After a quick scan, Soten smiled back and hugged Kagome.

Meeting in the hallway with a raised ebony brow and muscled arms crossed, Kouga waited for Kagome to spill.

"Don't get your tail in a knot; I gave her an old song that no longer applies to me. I think it suits her and will drive Hiten and Manten crazy," Kagome said with an evil smirk, "It's titled 'BFB', you will laugh you're ass off when you hear it!"

"Oh, my dear social secretary when will I be hearing this?" Kouga asked playfully.

"Soten has some friends in a garage band that could use the cash, as soon as they get it down… I'll let you know. Soten, Manten and Bank all have to be here… open session." Kagome instructed.

"Yes, master, "Kouga replied doing his best Igor impression and limping behind Kagome.

"Goofus," Kagome laughed as she waited for Kouga to unlock his SUV, which he had purchased in preparation for Sayuri's birth.

Kagome slept on the trip home, but Sayuri was very vocal and Kouga found himself growling back with low howls. He was not the pup's father, and the books he had purchased didn't cover this situation. If his communicating was wrong, they would deal with that later, but right now, chatting with Sayuri made him feel whole.

As usual he carried mother and pup to her room, where she slept until dinner. Kouga was able to join her for dinner, where she interrogated him about his day tomorrow.

"I have work to catch up on, contracts, artists, just being my usual charming self. I get paid to be me," Kouga finished with a grin.

"Yes, making ladies swoon at your feet must be so tiring… how do you do it?" Kagome teased back.

"Practice, years of practice," Kouga said with a raised brow and smirk.

"What am I supposed to do?"

"I want you to stay home and relax; I really don't want to put Sayuri in any danger. You are carrying very precious cargo," Kouga answered.

Sayuri barked softly as if in agreement, and the two adults laughed. Kouga sent her up to shower and bed as he headed back to his office.

Her breakfast was served with a note from Kouga reminding her to relax and Dr. Hiro's phone number if she had any questions. He called at lunch, sounding worried, but was calmed by talking to Kagome and Sayuri. Dinner was filled with stories from Kouga that made Kagome laugh and rub Kouga's muscular arm in sympathy.

The next morning, and Kagome's last full recording day. She may have to come in for some editing and re-records, but hopefully she could help Soten and Rin until Sayuri was born in less than two months. Dressed and fed, Kouga and Kagome headed to Birds of Paradise Studios. Kouga had ignored his cell as he drove, so he had no idea InuYasha would be waiting in his office.

Kouga's secretary grabbed him immediately on entry and explained he had a visitor. Kouga's tan skin seemed to pale, but he grabbed a key and placed it in Kagome's palm with instructions to go warm up.
