A/N: Okay This is a long chapter, because I wanna start leading to the climax of this story, because, as you all know this was intended to be a one shot, possible two-shot, but I got so much good feedback that I decided to keep it going. I hate to disappoint you guys but there is no lemon in this chapter, but the next one will have a great big citrus overload, so be ready! This chapter was just to push the story in the right direction, so I gave you a little tease to get things going, and then..yeah..so now I'm babbling.

ON WITH THE STORY!

Juu~

Kagome sighed with relief, still shaky from the encounter she had with the board members. That Mr. Taisho questioned her quite thoroughly about her purpose at school...almost as if he'd known what had happened prior to his entering the room, 'It can't be..I purified the scents through the room, as well as my body...I can't believe Sesshomaru would leave me in that kind of situation..I thought he worried for me at least a little bit after all this time..maybe my feelings are the only ones that have changed'

Kagome stood heading toward the pool room, class was over for the day and she had joined the swim team, to spend time with her friends, she didn't get to see them often with Sesshomaru and student council in her schedule.

She took a shower in the locker room, dawned her black 'Lady Tigers' Swim suit and walked into the pool room. She immediately saw Sango, Kagura, and...Rin? 'I didn't know first year students could join the swim team? Cool.'

She cannon-balled into the water, making a big splash, and bolted to the side of the pool she remember her friends to be on. She came up near the wall right by them.

"Hey Rin! How are you? Last I heard you were back in the states with your mother's side of the family..They let you move back?" Rin turned and smiled immediately, "Kagome-san! I missed you! My father came and got me back, I was really happy he did, even though I love my mother, and the States, I feel like my friends, and close relatives, my home, is here." Kagome hugged Rin, "I'm glad you're back."

"So how's your big brother Jason, is he still cute?" Kagura chimed in, wiggling her eyebrows sugguestively, Sango rolled her eyes, "Your more perverted than Miroku when it comes that guy Kagura, did something happen between you two?"

Rin glared, "Kagura, did you seduce my brother?" Kagura giggled, "I hope so..we talked a little the day you were packing, and..he kissed me, but that's it, hahaha! I swear."

The sparkle in Kagura's eyes faded a little as she continued, "Then, he had to go to Europe to study abroad in college, and I haven't seen or heard from him since."

Kagome grimaced, 'Kagura did have sex with him, she's lying. No one make that sort of face, and gets emotional over a guy she gave a kiss to.'

Sango, feeling the tense air broke in, "Well let's start are laps, you know we warm up with twenty."

All the girls nodded, thinking as they swam. Practice went by uneventful.

"Alright girls, we have a meet next week at 3:00pm sharp. I've already notified your 8th period classes that you won't be attending and to not mark you absent. So after seventh, head straight here."

All the girls nodded, getting out of the pool, grabbing goggles, towels, water bottles, flippers, kick board, and so on.

Kagome got out the pool, grabbing her water bottle, as she walked with Sango, Kagura, and Rin to the bathrooms. The girls mooned people in there, thinking it was funny, and feeling others up..They didn't want to be subjected to gropes and moons. So the kept to the opposite side of the lockers.

Kagome started to feel a bit queasy as they set their things down, opening conditioners and shampoos, washing each others hair.

Kagome couldn't stop her body from teetering, she stumbled her way toward the bathroom, her friends, noticing her drug-like state watched as she lifted up the toilet seat and heaved for what felt like to her hours but was in reality, only mere minutes. She laid on the side of the toilet, curled in the fetal position.

Her friends, frightened stared at her, "You weren't sick all day today, you've been fine, so all of a sudden you vomit..did you eat anything funny today..did you catch your period maybe? You should check.

They closed the stall door to allow Kagome some privacy, She checked, Nothing. 'Now that I think about it, the day that it usually comes is passed already..' Kagome looked at Sango, "No, I'm not on my period."

Sango looked closely at Kagome, "Kagome, can I spend the night over your house tonight, not only do I wanna make sure you're okay, but I kinda don't feel like trekking all the way back to my house." Kagura nodded, "I hope Okaa-san, won't mind if I join that little party?" Rin smiled, "I wanna go, I feel like something climatic is gonna happen, and I don't wanna miss it." All three glared at the tactless girl. "Of course, Rin." They said in unison, giggling at the girl.

They walked Kagome home, never leaving her side for the rest of the day, 'I've sensed Sesshomaru a few times, but I know he's staying clear because I've got my 'guard dogs' all over me. I need to get rid of them so I can talk to him..'

"Guys I've gotta do a little paper work in the student council's room, can you guys wait for me in maybe the gym or something, you know I'm not allowed to bring non-council members with me, it's just filling in the results of the junior-prom theme. It won't take long, just give me like 15-20 minutes tops. Kay?"

They reluctantly nodded. "Something doesn't feel right, she's queasy in the middle of the day, her period hasn't come yet, and she's always disappearing off somewhere..I'm worried about her..what could possibly be going on?" Kagura chimed in, "Maybe her flow is late, maybe she got sick from drinking to me pool-water, to much hot in cold from the showers? She could be planning things for junior-prom. Let's not just assume something fishy, Ya know? I understand you're worried, I am too, but I don't want her to think that were snooping in her life, or in business that she was probably TRYING to hide from us. That makes us look like bad friends, like we couldn't wait on her to tell us, in her own time, ya know?" Rin nodded, "But I've been smelling her, and she doesn't smell like herself, that's why I didn't notice right away who she was. Maybe she's hanging around someone new and the smells rubbing off.."

Both Kagura and Sango arched eyebrows at Rin. "How can you smell all this, last time I checked, you were human." Sango glared. "I wanted to wait, and till you guys this weekend, I was going to invite you after practice today to come over my house for dinner, but I'm mated. That's why I went to the states, and was brought back, I'd eloped with him and my father came and convinced us to return to Japan. His name's Micheal. He's a Dragon."

Everyone was speechless, until Rin shook them out of it, "I know, a lot to take in, we'll talk about it later, right now, let's just focus on Kagome."

Kagura, used her wind to carry the words from so far away to her ears.. "Guess whose she's speaking to.."

Kagome wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru, letting him lift her up to circle her a legs around his waist as he pushed her against the wall. The pressure on her pelvis, made her slightly queasy once more, "Sesshomaru, put me down..please.."

He could smell the bile that was slowly rising in her throat. 'It's already starting..the symptoms shouldn't be surfacing so soon.'

'She is a Miko, when have you ever heard of a Daiyokai mating and impregnating a priestess, and not just any priestess, the heir, guardian, and high-priestess of the Shikon No Tama. Who knows what will occur, I advise, mi lord, that you stay near in case anything should happen to our mate, or our pup.'

'Indeed.'

Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru, "Sesshomaru, I need to tell you something...My menstral is very regular, it comes on the same day, every month, give or take a day, but it's been a week from that day. I don't want to alarm you but I think I might be...I might be.."

"Might be what, Miko?" Sesshomaru looked at her stoically, 'Will she tell me?'

'If I tell him..will he kill me because I'm human, I'm not his mate...this was just a black mail gone a wry...I'm too..scared...

"I might be...pregnant.."

Sesshomaru smiled, " This one is aware."

Kagome's eyes widened, "You knew? Why didn't you tell me as soon as you knew, you were gonna let me find out on my own?"

Sesshomaru smirked, "This Sesshomaru would have informed you...eventually."

Kagome glared, "Ass."

Sesshomaru smirked, "Miko, the normal term for pregnant Inu women is 6 months, I have never heard of a Miko and a Dai having pups together, so I do not know what will happen. I will be within 20 feet of you at all times, am I understood? When people begin to notice your growth, which maybe sooner, than later, you cannot return to school until you have had the child. I will speak to your mother about this predicament tonight."

"My friends are coming over.."

"When concerning the health, and wellness of my pup, and my intended, I could give two-fucks about your friends and whether or not they find out."

"Ok, don't be so uptight, it's just a baby, not an apocalypse we're preparing for, Geez." Sesshomaru nearly sighed,"You do not understand the severity of this issue, Miko. This is the heir to the Western Lands, the heir to W.L. Taisho. The largest law firm in Japan. A conglomerate of over 500 business under its care. This is just a significant as any apocalypse humans may conjure and believe will occur."

Kagome nodded, "I understand."

Sesshomaru looked at her. She was gorgeous. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in close for a soft touching of lips and one of the warmest hugs Kagome had ever received. 'This feels...so..right.'

"Miko, I will be at your house a 7o'clock to discuss this matter with your mother. I will be in your room at 11. Be Awake, or I will wake you. I suggest you go home and rest."

"How can you even think about sex when all this is going on?" Sesshomaru smirked, "Your body is quite pleasing, Miko."

Kagome blushed. "Goodbye Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru nodded, kissing her forehead, "Miko."

Kagome walked toward the door but looked back at Sesshomaru, walking back up and kissing his lips softly, pulling on his full bottom lip, nibbling and licking it. Sesshomaru immediately took control, pushing her up against the walk close to the door, raising her hands up and holding them with one of his, he suck and nibbled on her neck, grinding his knee into pussy. Kagome arched her back, moaning.

Sesshomaru used his other hand to lift Kagome's school shirt, rubbing her breast through the bra, he dipped his head, thrusting his tongue into her mouth. Kagome moaned at the different sensations she felt at once, "Aah..Sesshomaru...if you don't stop, I'm-I'm gonna...Aaaah!"

Sesshomaru gritted his teeth, "Tonight, Miko." Kagome turned in horror as her friends busted the door open, "Kagome...you've been doing it with Mr. Takahashi, and now you're pregnant by him?"

The looked up further to see none other than said Mr. Takahashi with his body pressed into Kagome's, her skirt lifted, his fingers wedged inside of her, and her shirt unbutton with his hand over the bra-covered breast. Kagome's face was now flush from her recent orgasm and utter embarrassment from being caught in such a compromising position.

Kagome dropped her head back against the wall, 'This can't get any worse..'
