(Kagome's voice)
It has been five whole months and I know that I am carrying Seshomaru's child. It has been almost eight months since I have last my family and all this time and I still have not found Inuyasha and the group. I think I may be going crazy.
I have worked in Japan all alone carrying a child skipping from town to town. In the beginning this task was something that was easily accomplished but now I am starting to show and It has become more difficult to slip by unnoticed. People in ancient Japan are not that fond of bastard children and young mothers.
Memory's flicker here and there through my mind I decided to stop blaming myself I know as well as he knew that no one could stop him not even himself. Although I knew this bit of information I cannot accept the consequence I hate him for the burden he has left me with. I despise what he took from me.
He left me alone and torn in the morning he didn't wait to apologize or even explain. I could have been killed by a demon but then again it would have left him with one less burden, after all I was the only living proof that he laid with a human.
My laugh has become bitter with the thought, I have to live the rest of my life with his child a half demon no less Ironic how his first born will be of the same race he has come to despise. Though it doesn't matter not any more he can go living his life of freedom and infidelity and I will age with his seed in my womb, that is if I ever survive this.
I am going to bear a child when I myself am still a mere child.
(Five Months earlier Seshomaru's point of view)
Look at her, disgusting human wench seduced me into such a revolting act.
Never have I participated in such a vile act with a human. My brothers wench none the less. I look at her now and I feel like spitting.
I will leave before she wakes. I promised her entrance on my lands so her wish is granted.
She is lucky I don't kill her here and now
Regular point of view
She had been walking for 3 days till she reached the next village. Her feet were sore and her belly heavy, she was now entering her 6th month of pregnancy. Her hair was full of twigs and dirt, face oily and dirty she had not bathed since the last village. She had been sleeping on the cold floor under the forest's leafy shelter; luckily before she left she managed to steal a long thick black coat which she now held close to he stomach desperately trying to hide the growing bump.
She dreamed of Inuyasha coming to her rescue but no matter how hard she dreams she knew that dream would never be in her reality. Now approaching the next village she felt a sense of relive mixed with fear. She could finally have some food and a fresh bath, but fear was the heavy shadow of being noticed. She lugged her yellow back pack from under her cloak gripping it tight praying that this would be all right.
This village was smaller than the others but certainly the most festive my far. The snow was falling gently over the small village covering the huts in a layer of snow and pine. The paths were filled with happy villagers all carrying food or other supplies to prepare for the upcoming winter. But her eyes widen in surprised when she started to noticed the chosen decorations for this villages festival.
"All hail the mighty Sesshomaru!"
His face was painted on every street sign and wall, scrolls filled with praises for the cold lord. There where even shrines made in his honor, and there in the center of this small village was a statue of the mighty lord himself. Now the pleasant crunch of leaves beneath her feet became the soundtrack to an impending death.
Present time Seshomaru's point of view
I am constantly thinking about the human miko and it is driving me mad.
What I failed to realize during the act was the mark on her neck that wretched mark, that makes me have her constantly on my mind tormenting me.
"Hello young one how are you today." A woman said her hair thin and brittle, her smile showed her stained rotting teeth. "I am fine but I am looking for a place to stay tonight I am a visitor of this village." She said softly pulling the heavy black cloak over the swell of her stomach.
If anyone where to discover the child that laid warmly in the 15 year old's womb, the consequences would be dire. In present Japan being impregnated before wedlock was a disgrace worthy of being stoned and disowned, In feudal Japan this rule applies a thousand time over. The last 9 villages where proof of this, she had barley escaped with her life. And though she ran before now that the child was growing she wasn't sure how long it would before she was caught.
Men had told her things she never imagined she'd hear, they treated her as if she was a whore. They treated her like it was now her duty to offer her body to them.
And for denying them she was beaten and called names. She had been humiliated in a result of something she had no control over. She only thanked god that she had been strong enough to kick and run before those men repeated what Sesshomaru had done.
"Oh yes please we have a inn a few miles ahead please your welcome to stay there in fact my papa owns one we'd welcome you in there." She said looking at her with a soft smile despite her hideous teeth.
"Thank you!" She said greeting her with a smile of her own. "I will make my way over there before supper." she finished as she left her alone to wander around the village.
When she reached the inn she sighed in content, the inn was cheap enough so she could stay a night or two, as well as it was busy enough that they would pay no mind to her.
"Hello my name is Kagome and I would like to stay here a night or two if I could." She said to the old man in the front, He turned to her with dark kind eyes and smiled with familiar stained teeth. "Oh yes, hello my daughter Miro told me you would come here welcome I hope you enjoy your stay young woman." With that he walked with a white robe and a fresh towel and lead her to her room.
After she got settled she made her way to an empty spring. "Ah." She sighed as the rush of hot water poured down her back. She made quick work of scrubbing the grit and grime from her pours. Once she was fully clean she started to clean her cloths as well. "I'm scared baby." She whispered to her stomach as she let the cloths dry. "I'm a horrible person to say this but I wish this never happened I am a coward, I don't know what to do." She cried hugging herself. "I am just a kid, you understand that don't you?"
"If I were older then maybe I would be able to-" She stopped wiping her tears and taking a deep breath.
"But I know better, my mother raised me better than this mothers never let there children know when there in distress and I am going to try to be the best mother I can be I swear!" And with that she left the springs to go to her room and get the first night of sleep she had in months.

Sesshomaru
"Lord Seshomaru's robe is ready bring it to him now!" He could hear the gawking creature from across the castle, it was those times where he wondered why he let the toad follow him in the first place.
"Lord there are letters from the northern lord announcing his gratitude of your hosting his party at your castle, and some pleas for treaty and such." His Cornell informed him.
"I will look at those later now leave me." He said his mind clearly distracted.
He was begging to tire of the girl that plagued his dreams and thoughts, Inuyasha's wench Katome something or other.
He was begging to worry that the mark that he thought he dreamed about was actuality reality, and if that was the case then at this moment he was contemplating killing his own mate.
He shook the thought from his head growling in disgust, he vowed that if he ever saw her she would be punished for plaguing him so.

At five in the morning she started to get to work, so far she picked 60000 yen (680 u.s dollars) from some visitors wallets. And this was only the morning round, lunch, and dinner, shift came later.
Once she ate she decided to take a break and go back to her room and avoid as many people as possible plus the irritating fact that the black robe was heavy and it was aching her back.
In her room she stripped down to her under robe which was thin and breezy. At a certain point and she wasn't sure when that point was made she had fallen asleep and awoken to a gasp and a crash of glass breaking on wood. She heard the familiar scurrying of feet and knew that she had overstayed her welcome.
She quickly grabbed her bag and stuffed her food and clothing in it, throwing her robe over her body she tried to escape as quickly as possible.
She got past the entrance and into the main road when she was caught by a couple of men.
"What do we have here?" One scruffy looking man said his eyes roaming lazily over her body. "Um please just let me pass I am carrying a baby and my husband should be here any second." She said smiling look for a possible escape between the five men, she found none.
"Ha you here that boys this whore says she got's herself a husband." The Tall man mocked looking at her with hungry eyes. "Tell me girly did you do him good this husband of yours, so young and pretty he made quick work with you huh?" He said slurring his words looking at his friends and laughing again. As she tried to run around him one of his friends caught her around her waist, she stopped struggling instantly.
"Come on girly show us what you can do." With that comment she spit in his face. "You fucking cunt how dare and here I was going to spare you the mob back at the village that's waiting with stones the size of your head but I guess I'll have to make this quick. He crushed his lips to her mouth moaning as she stilled in his arms.
When she heard the sound of pants dropping to the ground she opened her eyes. "Suck It bitch." He said shoving her face to it. She gagged at the feeling of him entering her. She fell back trying to run from the man that was attacking her. "Fucking bitch come back here!" He said pulling her by her hair smacking her in the face.
"Come on boys I think this one needs to be broken into." The scruffy one said punching in her jaw.
"Please no!" She said as she curled on the ground in a fetal position covering her stomach as they beat her senseless.
When she was at the point of death they grabbed her again. "Now try again don't be a tease." The tall one said pushing himself at her again. And again he entered her mouth she was gagging at the blood and mass that was occupying her mouth. She knew she had to do something quick or she'd never get away.
It was then that she saw it. The opening.
"Ah!" He screamed as her teeth clamped down on his penis, she felt the blood rush through her mouth as she ripped it even more, not wasting anytime she ran for the forest her bag jumping against her back.
She through herself under a brush as soon as she found one big enough she was beaten and tired she knew she couldn't run much longer.
Three days later
Kagome's point of view
I found a village the people are cruel and mean, the streets are dirty, and the people are disgusting. The men were hitting the woman, laughing almost as if it was a fun sport, the men watched as they were beaten to a bloody pulp. the woman working in the Fields were covered head to toe in yellow blue-sh bruises.
There faces wore the mask of desperation and despair. They had the look of hopelessness. I had a feeling I would have no luck with this village just as I was about to pass the men turned there ugly heads toward me there eyes filled with lust and hate.
I walked toward the end of the village my stomach was growling and needed something to eat I had a few coins left so I stopped by a food stand picked up rice balls and a couple roles of sushi I ate like a mad man when I was done I was licking the food of my hands. I felt the presence of some one watching me I looked up and realized how desperate I must look licking the food of my hands. I quickly recover throwing ways the wrap and walking away.
I have been walking for hours my stomach craves for food, my baby kicks are getting more lethal, there leaving bruises on my skin now I get why humans carrying a demons baby never make it. That thought scared me I pushed it to the back of my mind 'if i don't make it my baby will die or worse end up just like Inuyasha.'
Damn I couldn't get that out of my head I knew what I had to do but I still didn't mean I wanted to. I had, to make sure my baby was OK that he will end up loved. I had to find his father risk it all I knew ether way death by his hand was better than letting my child grow alone.
I know short but whatever lol I hope you enjoy its in my opinion at least better than the one I wrote before! Lol but hey review please thanks so much!
