These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real.
She wasn't throwing up anymore, but she still felt ill and weak. She tried. Every day she tried.
Kikyo and Kagome were now 15 weeks.
Inuyasha was getting antsy, he had been gone for over a month when the letter came.
"Father will meet me in four weeks to trade off again, he wants you to send something."
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "For what purpose?"
"For Kagome, idiot."
"My mate to be would displeased."
"I don't give a damn about your fucking wind witch. I know you don't give a damn about Kagome or the baby, but I do, and dad does."
"Is fathers power not sustaining her?"
"You know what, fuck you."
Sesshomaru landed his sword into Inuyasha's shoulder that day.
InuTashio landed one on Sesshomaru when he arrived four weeks later.
Sesshomaru didn't send anything.
15 weeks turned into 18 and Kagome was now showing a little, more so than Kikyo.
But her tummy was bruising. She could not feel the movement yet.
"Why did he not send anything?" Kikyo asked as she watched Kagome rub her belly, sitting in the gardens watching the river run.
"Because he is a fucking bastard, that's why"
"All this would be for nothing if the baby dies, if she dies."
"We won't let her die Kikyo."
"What will you do, run her into battle?"
"If I must." He said.
"How is it going?" Kikyo asked arm and arm with her mate to be.
"Sesshomaru is laying them out and now that father is there, they should make progress." They walked closer and joined Kagome.
"Are you okay Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'm okay." His father had been gone two days already. "How was the battle?"
Kikyo and Inuyasha looked at each other. "It's battle and bloody." Inuyasha answered, surely this is not what she wanted to talk about.
"Did he use the underground attack I told him about?"
Inuyasha's eyes shot up. "What?"
"He came to me before he left and asked about the barrier that y'all were dealing with."
That was news to any of them. "Hai, it worked."
She slightly smiled. "Good."
Kagome stuck her hands in the water. "I'm sorry I can't heal you."
Inuyasha and Kikyo looked at his shoulder, half breeds healed a lot slower than full demons.
"K, it ain't nothing."
"Yet, I can smell the power and poison." Kagome looked back at him. "Can I see it?"
"Uh, sure." He moved his clothing around to bare his shoulder.
"I'm sorry." She said again.
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do it."
She looked away. "But it was because of me, wasn't it?"
"It was because of my mates' mouth, I am sure." Kikyo spoke crossing her arms.
Kagome laughed a little. "It was for my behalf, I am sure."
"Keh." He pulled his top back up. "Don't worry, I'm sure dad got him back for it."
"Yeah, but his wounds heal so much faster than ours."
Her words were saddened and laced with so much more than what she was saying.
They felt Kagura and they all looked back. "I just received word, our Lords will return in a months time."
Inuyasha stood. "Good." He helped Kikyo up. "Have you told the mothers?"
"No."
"Come on, Kikyo, will should tell them."
She nodded and then she offered Kagome her hand. "I think I'll stay outside." Kagome said. They instantly worried. "I'm fine." She offered. They reluctantly walked away.
Kagura eyed her. "Do not get your hopes up Miko, he is not returning for the likes of you."
Kagome smiled and looked down. "I know."
"Stay away from my mate."
Kagome looked up at her. "I don't think you will have to worry."
"As soon as you deliver that half human spawn, I will be rid of you." Kagura smirked. "Though I may be inclined to keep the baby, if only to teach you lesson, you stupid human girl."
"Onii-san won't want it."
It both pissed Kagura off and pleased her. "Do not call him that. He is nothing to you, you are nothing and that baby is nothing."
"Hai, My Lady." Kagome said, suddenly feeling very ill.
If Kagura did take her baby, that would be a wound that would never heal. Kagome would jump into the deepest part of the sea if she did, that would be the only way to rid her heart of the wound and pain inflicted.
She could take him not caring about her, but she could not take having her child, half demon as it would be, taken from her.
As a miko she had seen it many times before, so the pain was all too real.
