Author's note:
Ne, Guys, I was watching my inuyasha dvds whilst writing this chappie, and that episode with that girl Koharu, the one Miroku asked to marry when she was 11 XD Also the ep where Kanna first appears (ep 41) I was just watching the bit where Inuyasha is sympathic to that girl *hugs him* it's so cute when he's nice XD. Neways, sorry for the delay, I was shocked at how many reviews I got for the last chapter, and for those of you upset that Sesshomaru is gone, he isn't gone from the fic forever, don't worry ^_^
There is a lemon in this chapter, here, but for those of you who dont like that, the appropriate warnings are in it, allowing you to skip it, and you can enjoy the chappie without having to read it if you dont want to K?
Oh, and also,as I said, I'm writing this at stupid hours of the morning, and my eyelids are actually aching I need sleep so much, but I have to start getting ready to catch the bus to college in an hour and a half so, no sleep for me! *crams coffee down throat* I'm gunna proof-read when I get there, (whilst attacking the common-room's coffee stash XD) But because I'm so tired proof-reading wont be up to scratch, so I apologise for any rogue spelling/grammar errors etc. I will go back and edit it at a later time. K? ^_^
Dedicated to wonderful reviewers!
Enjoy the chapter! Oh, yeah, and review wonderful readers!

Twisted Premonitions
Fifteen
"How can you so easily toss me aside?" Inuyasha shuddered at that voice, the voice of his older brother, so laden with disappointment. "After everything I have done for you…cared for you…loved you when no other would…and you cast me aside…?" Inuyasha clamped his eyes shut against his brother's painful words, all the more vicious and cutting all the deeper, for he knew how truthful they were…
"What about you?" You're the one that cast me aside first! You threw aside the alleged 'love' for your brother when you stained yourself with human blood!" Sesshomaru didn't turn to face his brother, his golden eyes remained fixated on the blazing red moon and the crimson sky.
"You will learn…Inuyasha, that not everything is what it seems…" Inuyasha frowned, approaching his brother slowly.
"What?" A clawed hand rose skittishly to his older brother's shoulder, "what do you-" Inuyasha gasped, cutting off as Sesshomaru turned swiftly, seizing his wrist sharply, razor claws penetrating the flesh on his wrist, biting spitefully into him, as poison sizzled menacingly into his blood.
"Sometimes you have to look beyond what stands before you, and see what lies beneath!" Inuyasha screamed, trying desperately to tear his slowly crumbling hand from his brother's grip, failing miserably. Tears of agony pricked the backs of his eyes, his whole body twisting to get away. But Sesshomaru's grasp was inescapable.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!!"
"Look," Sesshomaru ordered, throwing his brother away from him viciously, sending him hurtling to the ground.
Wincing in torturous agony, Inuyasha cradled his abused wrist to his heaving chest. 'Look'? Look at what? Inuyasha wondered, eyes opening from their grimace to gaze upon the blackened grass beneath his bare feet.
Suddenly, a shrill, piercing cry throbbed in his ears – a sound he'd never heard before, and yet it seemed…familiar? Raising his head unsteadily, still shaken by the poison pulsing swiftly through his veins, slowly taking him over… Eyes widened in horror at what they saw…
Kagome. He wasn't sure if it was her, her pale, almost lifeless flesh glowing with an ethereal light beneath the crimson blood staining her form, head tipped back and mouth open in silent agony. Inuyasha scrambled to his feet clumsily, his limbs slowly falling prey to the disorientating numbing sensation the poison was spreading through him. He felt his knees buckle beneath him, claws wrenching deep into the dead earth below, dragging himself towards her. Fangs grated against each other, biting back the desperate cry of pain that threatened to tear free from his throat, as he forced himself into a sitting position, pulling his beloved's silently agonised form to him.
Her raven head rested in the crook of his arm, her expression never faltering. She didn't even respond. "Kagome? Kagome? Kagome?!"
"You have to look beyond what you see…" The half-demon flinched at his brother's cool words flowing into his ears, his warm breath steaming onto the side of his face as the older demon knelt beside him. That shrill, unbearably heart-rending cry sounded again, and Inuyasha raised his eyes once more.
A small, wriggling, screaming form beckoned him, but he could not move. A dark shadow enclosed its malicious grasp around that helpless, terrified body, practically smirking at his inability to help it…his child…
"L-Let…" Inuyasha ground his fangs into his lower lip defiantly as his words failed him, "Let go of that baby…" The arrogant wickedness of the shadow slowly swallowing up the form of the baby increased, and Inuyasha turned his head to gaze upon his brother. "Sesshomaru – do something!" The full demon shook his head lightly, leaning in to his brother's ears.
"An unseen enemy is the poison that will stick in your blood… A mistake is the loss of something precious… Not always can you find what you are looking for, sometimes you have to know what to see…" Again that strangled sob, calling for him, its father to wretch it from that evil, lingering darkness' grasp, the cry growing louder, louder, filling him up from the inside out, until he felt suffocated by that deafening echo…
***
Inuyasha shot up, the terrified cries still ringing desperately in his ears. Heart thumping wildly in his chest, Inuyasha gasped for breath, his skin still tingling from the numbness of his dream, and the pressing weight of that child's howls of fear. Gods, he thought hazily. It had felt so…so real… In a past as packed full of horrors as his was, he knew a nightmare when he experienced one, but this one… This was different, his mind supplied, clawed hand running through the sweat-soaked hair that clung to his forehead, closing his eyes against the dimness of his and Kagome's bed-chambers. He could still feel the pain, hear that baby, see that baby – his baby, and Kagome… Kagome…
Tilting his head slightly to the side, his forehead still resting against his hand (which was in turn propped up by his knee) his golden gaze fell upon the sleeping beauty curled lightly against his side, her slender arms curved round her heavily pregnant stomach, swollen breasts rising and falling with her gentle breathing – she was still fast asleep.
That was horrible, he thought, still looking upon the girl he loved more than anything, I've never – ever felt so bad in my life…and what did it mean anyway? Sesshomaru… His thoughts trailed off there. It hurt too much to think of his older brother. It had seemed so hard to send him away; even if it was the best decision – for both of them, but he'd been wrong…it was worse. Suddenly the one he trusted with everything, not just his brother but best and only friend was gone. Not so much as a word had been sent from or about Sesshomaru since he'd left the castle grounds two months ago. He'd figured Sesshomaru might at least send word for their recently over-anxious father's benefit, but no…not one letter… Could it be that something had happened to him? Something bad? It wasn't the first nor last time that particular fear had entered his mind.
It wasn't anything new. In all truthfulness, the half-demon had been worrying a lot lately. Between the sudden suspicious decrease in attacks by the Revolutionaries, his Kagome's unpredictable pregnancy (and not to mention and unpredictable Kagome), those worries had him on the verge of a melt-down! And then there was his worrying father, who'd lost so much of his old self, now so very quiet, and withdrawn, always thoughtful, always alert of late… It scared him. He knew it was natural to be afraid of all the blessings and horrors life was throwing at him, but he couldn't help but feel just that little bit more scared that perhaps he should have been…
Still, what did Sesshomaru – 'Dream Sesshomaru' mean?
"You will learn…Inuyasha, that not everything is what it seems… Sometimes you have to look beyond what stands before you, and see what lies beneath… An unseen enemy is the poison that will stick in your blood… A mistake is the loss of something precious… Not always can you find what you are looking for, sometimes you have to know what to see…"
Those words made no sense! Not like Sesshomaru himself made any sense though, Inuyasha's mind interjected. A soft, slightly mournful sigh passed his lips. He never thought he'd miss him this much…
"Inuyasha?" The half-demon slipped from his thoughts, back into the room, where his mate lay beside him, now gazing up at him through though dark, unfathomable eyes he loved so much. "Are you alright?" She rose slightly onto her elbows to look at him better, the sheets shuddering down the sleek skin of her shoulders. Inuyasha smiled comfortingly at her, clawed fingers risking into obsidian hair, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead, before drawing the sheets back over her shoulders once more, less by means of preserving the modesty of her naked torso, and more to keep her from catching anymore of those 'chills' she seemed to be more susceptible to lately.
"I'm fine; really…just…bad dream is all…" She looked a little disbelieving, still gazing at him expectantly, though he didn't continue.
His hand stole forward, grazing the backs of his claws tenderly over the swell of her stomach, and their baby. Pup, he corrected himself. "How's everything going in there?" he asked huskily, suddenly feeling very affectionate towards her, perhaps an after-effect of seeing her in such a state in his dream? A small, tired smile graced her practically glowing face, resting her head against his shoulder gently.
"Busy," she answered quietly, closing her eyes, simply relishing in the feel of him being so close.
Izayoi had explained fairly early on, that like in dogs, (all down to instincts) she would be quieter, and want more attention, particularly from Inuyasha. That had been easy enough to hear, but as the days past further into her pregnancy, and Izayoi's predictions came true, Kagome seemed to lose her rational mind, her base instincts as a mother, and instincts as a mother to a half-dog-demon completely overthrowing her.
Poor Inuyasha, that's what she'd thought on so much more than one occasion. He'd suffered her (often very violent) mood-swings (which still had yet to cease) and at times her desperate desire for his attention, as well as he sulking when she couldn't get it. Still, he hadn't complained, or even lost his temper – not once. In all truth, the once-priestess thought with a smile, sighing softly, Inuyasha's spoilt me for two months straight!
"I think it's safe to say there's not much more room in there," he teased gently, smirking at the little kick he got in return for his smooth caresses.
"Yeah, geez," she replied, half growling, turning strenuously onto her back, hands coming to rest over her stomach. "It can't be much longer, right? I mean, I know I should be grateful, my pregnancy is only going to last around fifty-or-so days, right?" She frowned as he let out a little laugh. Nuzzling her apologetically at seeing her expression, he stifled the diminutive chuckle.
"Sorry, it just doesn't sound so long when you number it in days," she raised a brow at him, obviously not finding it funny.
"See how hilarious it is carrying the weight of a half-demon pup around all the time…you think the mood-swings are bad on you? Try being the moody bitch that everyone hates." Letting another little laugh escape him, he brushed a sloppy kiss down the side of her neck.
"Nobody hates you, idiot," he reassured her with an underlying reprimanding tone. "And you're hardly a 'moody bitch' that's a little harsh, don't you think?"
Kagome sighed again, opening her eyes, staring blankly up at the dark canopy over the bed.
"I know…I just…I feel so bad…you, your mother, and father, and Sango and the others – heck even the servants are treating me like some…some kind of princess and all I can do is-" Her words cut off, swallowed by the slightly parted lips pressed against her own. Breaking the kiss to look into those eyes, the half-demon wet his lips slowly, taking in her taste as he did so.
"Don't worry over such little things…I know it's not your fault – all these hormones and all, but just remember, any time now you're gonna be able to see our pup." His mate smiled slightly at his words, "that's gotta be overshadow everything else, right?" The girl gave a small, barely noticeable nod, a light blush dusting her cheeks at her suddenly lustful thoughts that erupted into her head.
Sensing the rapid change in Kagome's scent, Inuyasha quirked a brow at her, eyeing her with playful suspicion, which only caused her blush to deepen. The arousal coming off her in waves, the half-demon smirked impertinently at her. "Is that the smell of desire, Mate?" he practically purred, arms resting either side of her, crawling over her body slowly, causing her to tumble onto her back slowly. Crimson lust crept into his eyes, though not completely overthrowing that golden beauty within them that she loved so much. Something about that voice, when it was seductively provocative, it sent delicious shivers down her spine.
"Inuyasha…don't-" she was cut off as his clawed hand snatched her wrists, pressing them over her head slowly, tenderly, never forceful, never vicious. A little growl purred at the back of his throat, his mouth descending to her perfectly curved human ears, risking a swift lick.
- -------- Lemon starts here, skip to next warning --------- -
"'Don't' what, Kagome?" She whimpered as the moist appendage delved slickly over the shell of her ear, dampening the delicate flesh, venturing down to capture the lobe between his fangs gently. "That damn monk is rubbing off in ya… You're a little pervert Kagome…"
Shuddering at that tone again, Kagome's head tossed to the side to stifle her gasp in the sheets, as the half-demon's free hand that wasn't 'trapping' her wrists running loosely over her collarbone, brushing butterfly touches over the sides her swollen breasts with the backs of his claws.
"You can talk…at least I'm not the one with the erection…" he growled playfully at the teasing tone of her voice, leaning down to run a swift lick up her cheek. Giggling at the movement, Kagome traced her fingers over the muscles of his shoulders, pulling him down gently to touch recently freed noses with him. Fleeting kisses racing from passionate to chaste, and back again, ever-varying. He was always the same, gentle but fervent, placid but untamed, kisses often punctuated with little growls and purrs, the sinful vibrations against her flesh making her skin practically hum.
A clawed thumb brushed over her lips, parting them gently, before diving against her mouth for another, searing kiss, his weight held off her cautiously, though his stomach still pressed against hers, smiling at the sharp kick he received from his pup.
"Quiet you," he smirked at the large bulge, hands stroking it gently, as his mouth descended down his lover's sternum. "Mama and Papa are busy…"
In all honesty, since their pup's conception, there had only been a few scarce times that they'd ventured into full intercourse, with all the disasters throwing themselves at them from all angles, as well as the lurking scars of what Kagome had suffered at Katsura's hands, engraining caution into their relationship when it came to intimacy. Kagome didn't want to disappoint him, and Inuyasha didn't want to hurt her. Aside from this, was the most obvious, she was pregnant. It wasn't that they couldn't have sex specifically for that reason, since they weren't naïve enough to believe that, however it was best explained by Kagome, on one of her first hormonal outbreaks, where Inuyasha had tried just that little bit too hard for some form of intimacy with his mate to sate his rapidly increasing thirst, only to be scorned for his attempts, being called "insensitive" and "pushy" – even though she regretted it afterwards, venturing for those words which, then, weren't half as funny as he saw them now. "How do you think I feel? This pup doesn't stop fidgeting, then we start up, which wakes it up – it's not exactly fun to have it wiggling round inside me as well as you!" Yes, that was pretty laughable looking back, but his past neglected needs didn't find it amusing at all.
Still it wasn't as if they hadn't had sex, they managed to offer each other simple favours, and occasionally (and mostly more recently) Kagome's hormones would take a totally different and much more likeable approach – desire… Maybe it was because the pup was ready to be born soon, and her instincts were trying to get him to induce her labour, either way, he wasn't complaining, he hadn't been allowed free-reign over her like this for such a long time, his muscles, his bones, his very soul was aching with an insatiable need…
"Geez, Inuyasha!" she gasped breathily, fingers knotting into his hair as that devious pink tongue darted out to curl deftly around a darkened, erect peak of her breast, only venturing to lathe her nipples with his tongue once, knowing they were already tender owing to her condition. Tracing swiftly over to tease her navel (which had at some point flipped inside-out) with the slightly pointed tip of his tongue, Inuyasha smirked against her quivering flesh as her back arched like a bowstring off the bed.
The beautiful scent of her fruitful body combined with the intoxicating aroma of her arousal smothered his senses, ears flicked back against his skull as a flush raced over the bridge of his nose. Drunk on her smell, Inuyasha stared mischievously down at the apex of her thighs, his devious mouth teasing the light crease where her leg met her hips, body twisting accommodatingly to allow him to wrap his arms round her thighs, spreading them in one swift movement, so that his the backs of her calf-muscles were resting against his shoulders, his hands resting in the obsidian curls surrounding her womanhood.
She sucked in air harshly as his breath steamed over a very inappropriate part of her. Inuyasha had seen her naked before, so what? It was still just that little bit embarrassing, not to mention awkward at having someone with their face resting a scarce half-and-inch away from her crotch. "Inuyasha…" she groaned, her threatening tone swallowed up by embarrassed longing. He raised his wayward gaze to stare up at what her, leaning back on her shoulders so he could still see her over the bulge that was their baby.
"Don't you 'Inuyasha' me, wench," he growled huskily, fingertips petting her curls gently, before risking slow, agonisingly teasing touches down her moist folds, (slightly more swollen than usual because of her pregnancy, but only just noticeable, in any case, it didn't matter to him).
"Oh, Gods…" His naughty smirk broadened.
"God ain't got nothing to do with it." That growl was present again, a little of his demon-side's tone leaking into those words, the blood in her veins racing just that little bit faster as a result.
Parting her core slowly (careful of his claws) Inuyasha drank in the deliciously provocative cry that tore from her lips, glancing swiftly up at her to watch her chomping down at her fingers to silence herself, as he brushed his thumb over her hooded-jewel to brush his mouth over her exposed nub. A small whimper sounded clearly that time, no matter how she tried to muffle her voice, it still rang clear in his ears making them perk subtly. "I-Inu-yash-ah…!" He drank in her shuddering groans like sake, pulling back to just barely touch her swollen clit, exciting her juices to seep out of her. Delving down and into her slit, Inuyasha groaned at the hotness, curling his tongue inside the velvet heat to take all of her in.
The almost painfully aroused half-demon could barely hear her strangled whines of tortured bliss over the blood thumping in his ears, her fingers abandoning their fruitless efforts at silencing herself in favour of reaching down to touch his ears, the only part of him she could reach. Flinching at the original manoeuvre, but only in reflex, Inuyasha's resonating purr vibrated against her moist flesh, as slender, ever-gentle fingertips ventured a smooth touch of the pink-underside before rubbing the white appendages in slow gyrations. It feels so good…
He groaned against her again, finishing his teasing with a final lick before raising himself shakily back up onto his haunches, gazing lustfully down at her, noting that embarrassed blush at seeing the evidence of her own arousal on his lips, savouring both the moment and the musky taste by licking his lips suggestively. She swallowed hard, closing her eyes briefly at the evident throbbing in her core, reminding her that she was still empty, and still hungry for more. But first...
Inuyasha yelped in shock, spiralling back down from his state of unaware, the place of white-liquid-fire, where he'd been trying to calm himself down so he wouldn't relinquish control of the matter to his slightly more feral demon side, his eyebrows shot into his hairline at looking down to see her gripping him unskilfully. Yes, they'd had sex before, obviously, he'd touched, she'd touched, but she hadn't ever done… He'd never wanted to push, it wasn't a necessity, after all, wasn't it her being forced to do this which had damaged her so much in the first place? A shudder of delicious apprehension at what he knew she was finally offering shot down his spine.
Cracking open an eye he didn't remember closing, Inuyasha glanced down at her with a look that obviously made her nervous. "I'm sorry," she apologised, "am I…er…am I doing it wrong already?" His eyes widened.
"No, No, it's not that I…I just wanted to make sure you were…alright…" it sounded lame when he said it aloud, but that was what he meant.
"Oh…" she muttered quietly, her once forgotten shyness seeping back into her voice, "just umm…tell me if I get something wrong…" He smiled down at her; not managing to tear his eyes away as her fingers squeezed him gently, running up and down the shaft. This much she had done before, but never…with her mouth, his mind supplied, managing to find a slightly less dirty way to phrase it.
As slim fingers traced his throbbing organ gently, he hissed in pleasure as she came to its peak, fingers pinching ever-so-gently at his tip, foreskin rolling back down his erection. The half-demon's head leant back slightly. It felt so good – screw that it felt so good he felt like he was going to melt right there…
"G-Geez, K-Kagome…" she glanced up at him, that blush colouring her cheeks again, his hand tightened into fists at his side, claws biting into his palms, but he didn't care, she just looked so – so damn hot at that moment he nearly lost control! Leaning in skittishly to the newly exposed pink tip, Kagome's tongue darted out shyly to touch to quivering flesh. "Ah! G-Gods…K-Ka-ah…!" She pulled back to look up at him, flushing a little darker at that tormented bliss engraved in that dazzling look on her mate's face. Taking it as his sign of approval, she shuffled a little closer to him, flicking her tongue out to gather the musky-salt taste from his slit. "K-Kagome…damn…y-you're…" Smirking at his incoherence, the once-priestess stroked his foreskin up his shaft, and back again, exposing the pinkness all over again, repeating the torturous process several times, before diving over him unexpectedly, sucking the tip into her moist mouth.
That familiar shudder shook him, his hips fighting to arc into her mouth, though he managed to hold back, not wanting to choke her. An agonised whimper tore free, is head tossing slightly in confusion as to what to do with himself, as her fingers massaged his sac gently, smoothing over his flesh in slow, deft touches. He felt those crimson flecks creeping back into his eyes again, he needed to stop this – stop her from what she was doing or he'd lose it before he got to finish this properly.
"W-Wha-Wait, Kagome stop," she pulled back with a wet noise, gazing up at him confusedly.
"Is something wrong?" He shook his head, gasping for breath, unable to speak at that moment, pre-emission dribbling down his member as if to prove his inability to form words at this moment. But he didn't need words, didn't need to tell her what it was he wanted, because she wanted it too. Leaning backwards slowly, resting her back on the bed, she rolled onto her side, beckoning him forwards with the uncharacteristic flair of some demonic seductress. Nevertheless, it enthralled him, drawing him over her, clawed hands moving to part her legs, not forgetting to rub the pad of his thumb over the mating mark on her thigh, before roaming up over the swell of her stomach once more, calming the shifting pup that at that moment had decided to make its presence known to its mother, and rather painfully.
"Listen, you little git," he murmured softly to it, causing Kagome to smirk, rolling her eyes, "you calm down in there, or there'll be issues with spanking when you get out here…" As if the active little unborn pup had understood it stilled, leaving Kagome in thankful awe, only stirring from her state when she felt that familiar heat sliding between her slick folds.
A little groan rumbled in her throat this time, that oddly full sensation throbbing in her core again, her whole body practically singing in response to the fulfilled feeling. The numbing pain didn't remotely appear, not anymore, her womanhood adjusting to her mate's size, that stretching nothing but erotic as both he and she felt her muscles clenching and tugging at the flesh of the engorged organ.
That sinfully slow rhythm started somewhere, throbbing with the urgent need to race towards completion. Rolling completely onto her back, Kagome's thighs rose against her will, clinging to his hips tightly, pulling him down to mesh her lips with his in a demanding kiss, her once shy tongue beckoning him into her mouth, sliding over, stroking his only too willing appendage, arms wrapping around his neck in a desperate embrace, that movement within her nether-regions quickening.
Her breasts bounced a little with his thrusting, her hips rising to meet his as she watched her half-demon close his eyes against the dimness of the room, his fangs biting into his lip in a careless attempt to silence himself as her heat swallowed his once more, spilling himself inside her. At that well-known experience of having him fill her completely, utterly, in every way, she ground the back of her head against the pillows, fingers releasing his neck in favour of knotting into the sheets, as she joined him in the white-hot sensation of climax.

Has, broken breaths beat against each other's flesh, as they spiralled back down from their intimate oblivion, the coloured lights still flickering in their vision. "D-Did it work?" he asked huskily, glancing down at her, wiping the sweat from her brow tenderly. Feeling her pup kick insistently, as if asking if it was okay to move now, the human shook her head exhaustedly, smiling back up at him as he rolled off her, curling against her on the now soiled sheets.
"No…but it was fun, right?" he smirked, pressing a weak kiss against the side of her neck.
"Yeah…besides, you don't mind too much, that it didn't start your labour, do you?" she laughed softly, resting her cheek on his chest, listening to the dull thump of his heart-beat in his rapidly rising and falling chest.
"Of course not…it's uncomfortable…but, nothing begins to compare to the feeling of…having this whole other life inside of you…besides…" he met her eyes again, smiling and the affection glowing warmly within hazel orbs. "I don't mind having an excuse to have you with me pretty much all the time…"
"Keh, soppy woman," he teased, hearing her sigh exhaustedly, eyelashes fluttering as the drowsiness began to overtake her.
Stroking his mate's hair absently, the half-demon stared blankly up at the canopy of the bed once more. Both their breathing steadied, exhaustion fighting to drag them into slumber, and he felt his eyelids drooping. I wonder what he's doing; he pondered absently, his mind wandering back to his brother. If only he'd send word…just one word that he was alive…I hate this – the not knowing, it's…it's just…
"You miss him, don't you?" Inuyasha's gaze snapped back to his mate at her words, finding her staring at him. How did she always seem to know what he was thinking when he was anxious like this?
"Yeah…I suppose…"
"I'm sure," she began hesitantly, touching his chest, comforting him, "that whatever happened, with Sesshomaru and whoever it was that he killed, that he was within reason…" Inuyasha snorted.
"That's not it. He drew human blood, he betrayed me…and I don't care…" She blinked in confusion. "I don't care anymore…if he turned up on the doorstep tomorrow I'd be willing to forget it all…if I could just have my brother back…"
A tortured, anguished growl tore from his throat. "Why did he have to be so – so stupid?! He spoilt everything! I…I just…" The half-demon's voice trailed off, ears drooping slightly as his lover's tender hand touched his cheek gently, turning his face so that sympathetic hazel could meet heart-rending gold.
"He'll be back, don't worry."
"How can you be so-" the delicate finger over his lips silenced him.
"I know, okay?" she replied softly, placing a kiss to his lips as if to punctuate the point. "I know… Besides, he'll want to see his niece or nephew, right?" Inuyasha smiled dully at that, wrapping his pregnant mate tight in his embrace, nuzzling gently into her obsidian hair, smelling her scent lightly.
"Yeah…I suppose he will…" he agreed almost inaudibly, still holding no true belief within his words.
