Chapter 5: Sesshomaru is a Prevert?

It was about five days until the group reached the forest that bordered Keade's village by nightfall. Sesshomaru was carrying Kira on his back since she had fallen asleep and the women in the group had already taken Ah Un and Kilala to sleep on. Sango was laying on her back with Haku asleep on her chest. Kagome was curled up with Rin and Shippo on the dragon, Inuyasha's Fire Rat hoarie covering her like a blanket.

But Sesshomaru really didn't mind carrying Kira on his back. He had notice how tired she had been getting after three days of hiking the mountains and how exhausted she was after fighting that demon along the way. He thought that maybe this was another sign that she was indeed pregnant with their heir, something that he was getting excited about with each passing day. He had never been this excited in all his long immortal life.

He recalled a time when he spoke with his father about demon pregnancy. His father told him that the female will become incredibly tired and fatigued. He also remembered how Izayoi was when she was pregnant and how tired she looked during those nine months of watching over her. Course Izayoi didn't look as tired as his beloved Kira did now. He guessed it was because Kira was a demon where as Izayoi was only human. He then remember his father telling him the other symptoms of demonic pregnancy and knew that soon Kira was going to feel nauseated, sick, her back would feel sore, and her breasts would also feel sore and a bit swollen. He secretly was looking forward for the last one. Sure he loved her breasts the way they were now but seeing them a tad bigger...that just got him thinking things that he'd never thought he'd think.

He then mentaly shook his head of such thoughts. I've been around that monk for far too long. He then adjust Kira on his back and kept moving foreward. I know the heir has not even gained weight but Kira is starting to get heavy. Maybe it's because of that bag of hers? Well at any rate, we're almost there to the old priestess's village. He thought as they came into the clearing where the Scared God Tree was.

Within a few minutes, the came into the sleepy village and headed toward Keade's hut near the shrine.

The next morning, Kira groaned as she woke up feeling as if she was going to be sick. She stirred as she felt someone's arms tighten around her. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Sesshomaru, who was wide awake and smiling at her.

She smiled back. "Morning."

"Actually, it's almost noon." He stated as he brushed the bangs out of her face.

"I slept for that long?" She asked as she sat up and stretched.

"Yes. It's one of the symptoms of the pregnancy. You will be getting tired and fatigued during the next few weeks." He said as he looked at her.

"Well. I always did like to sleep." She said as she smiled at him. She then looked around the hut for something. "Where's my bag?"

"It's over there next to Kagome's yellow one." He said as he pointed to the far wall.

She nodded and then got up. She then suddenly swayed where she stood and leaned against the wall. "Whoa. I got up to fast."

"Are you alright Kira?" Sesshomaru was worried as he looked at his mate.

"I think so. I just feel really dizzy and really nauseated." She slowly slid down the wall. "Every smell in this place is making me sick."

"Including me?" He was smirking at her.

"No of course not you." She said as she moved closer to him and inhaled his scent. "Your cinnimon scent is calming my stomach."

"Maybe you need to eat some too. You've been asleep almost all day." He said as he stroked her hair.

She then blushed as her stomach growled loudly. "I guess i should eat something huh?"

"Lady Keade left some stew for you in the pot for when you woke up." He said as he pointed at the pot that was near the fire.

Kira smiled and softly got up this time. Seeing that she didn't get dizzy this time she made her way over to the pot, grabbed a bowl and filled the bowl with stew. She then picked up some chopsticks and went back over to Sesshomaru. "Smells good."

He just smiled at her as she watched her eat.

"So where are the others?" She asked as she ate.

"Kagome and Inuyasha went back to her time to see if their baby was developing nicely. Jaken, Sango and Miroku are out in the fields playing with the children. And Lady Keade is out picking herbs." He stated as he heard Rin laughing in the distence feild.

She nodded and soon finished the stew. She placed the bowl beside her and sighed.

"Feel better?" He asked as he wrapped an arm around her.

She smiled. "Yeah. Much better now that I've eaten. The stew is settling my stomach."

"That's good."

She rested her hand on her stomach and layed her head down on his shoulder. "So how long will it be until i start showing?"

He just smirked. He knew that she was going to bring the subject back around to her pregnancy. "It will become evident that you are pregnant in about 2 months. We'll need to have the dress makers design you some materurnity cloths when we get back."

"And the symptoms?" She asked as she looked up at him.

"Well you are already suffering from one of them. Being tired and fatigued i mean. And I suppose the nausea is starting to hit as well. But your back will start to feel sore. And..." He looked around and sniffed the air for any familiar scents. He then took a deep breath and revealed his deepest secret. "And your breasts will also feel sore and...swollen." His face turn a light shade of pink.

She stared at him for a minute, wondering why he was blushing and then smirked at him. "You little pervert! You need to stop hanging around Miroku. He's starting to corrupt your mind." She said as she playing tugged his pointed ear.

Sesshomaru yelped in pain. He wasn't expecting that and his ears were extremely sensative to touch. "You will release my ear or else."

"I'll release your ear when you get those dirty thoughts out of your head." She said as she continued to tug his ear.

"What's going on?" Kagome asked as she came into the hut, Inuyasha following behind her.

"Sesshomaru's got a dirty mind so i'm punishing him." Kira said proudly as smiled at her friend.

Inuyasha just smirked at the look on his half brother's face. "Oh god. Miroku's infected my older brother with his perverted-ness." He said before he started laughing.

"Inuyasha. I swear that i will kill...ACH!" The demon lord yelped again as his mate pulled at his ear again. He then glanced at her as best as he could. "What was that for?"

"No killing your younger brother." She said as she gave him a bored look. She then smiled over at Kagome. "So how did the check up go?"

"It went well. We've been going to the demon hospital ever since i found out i was pregnant just in case. And i was right. We have a healthy half demon baby girl." She said as she sat down by the fire, rubbing her belly.

"She has my ears though. I could actually see them this time." Inuyasha said as he sat next to his mate, still snickering at his older brother being torchored by Kira.

"Kira. Release me now. My ear is really starting to hurt." Sesshomaru said as he tried to pull away from her grip.

"Do you promise to stop having dirty thoughts?" She said as she held onto his ear.

But the only dirty thoughts i have are about you. He said only in Kira's mind. He then yelped again as she pulled his tender ear. "Alright alright. This Sesshomaru promises to have no more dirty thoughts."

"And do you promise to stop trying kill your brother?"

"Only if he doesn't start it." He said as he glared over at his snickering relative.

"Excuse me?" She tugged his ear upward, making him yelp again.

"Yes! I'll stop trying to kill my younger brother! Now release my ear before you rip it off." He felt like she was trying to rip his ear off. Everyone could actually hear the panic and pain in his voice.

Feeling satisfied, she finally released his ear and sighed. Sesshomaru rubbed his sore ear as he glanced at his mate. "You have a strong grip dear."

She smirked at leaned against him again. "So i've been told."

"Anyway. You should get going to Totosai's soon so you can get your sword repaired." Inuyasha said as he pointed over at Kira's bag, where the box the contined her broken friend resided in.

Kira nodded. "I agree. Fighting that boar demon without the Mani Katti felt like it was taking forever." She said as she remembered the struggle to defeat the demon and gain the jewel shard that it had.

"Then let us go now. The sooner you have your sword, the better protected you will be." Sesshomaru said as he stood and offered a hand to his mate.

She smiled and took his offered hand and slowly stood up, not wanting to have another dizzy spell. She then went over to her bag and picked up it, slinging it onto her back. Sesshomaru left the hut to fetch Ah Un so they could get to the volcano home of the demon sword smith faster.

"Do you want us to come with you?" Kagome asked as she looked over at her friend.

"No you should stay here and rest Kagome. I mean you just got back here and everything." Kira said as she smiled at her friend. "Besides. You have Inuyasha to worry about."

Kagome giggled and Inuyasha just looked at the girls confused.

Kira just shook her head and and then left the hut.
