an: You really should listen to leave our lovers by echos while reading this chap. Before warned, you may cry.. I totally balled by eyes our writing my own fic*

But the next night when her labor started, she was alone and oh so afraid.

Sesshomaru's eyes snapped opened and he went to sit up. His father pushed him back down forcefully. "Unless you plan on seeing her through it, do not go near her." His fangs showed deadly. "For whatever reason, these last few weeks she has tried to stay far away from you."

Sesshomaru was wanted to go to her.

Kagome got on all fours, panting, feeling her bottom burn and stretch, her belly hardened. She grunted, trying so hard to hold in her cry. She withered and tossed around the bed sheets. She stripped her clothes and sat on her knees, it was then that he entered and took note of her, not heeding his father words. He could not ignore the pull.

Her eyes fell on him as she went up on her knees, her water broke and covered the sheets.

The pain was just too real. She screamed. His eyes bled red and he growled out.

Inuyasha's mother, Sesshomaru's mother, her sister, they all came to her, pushing past him.

"Water." She breathed. "Put me in water."

They didn't understand, but they did as she asked and moved her birth to the warm waters of the bathhouse. Sesshomaru watched as Inuyasha's mother got into the water and laid Kagome back against her, where he should be, should have been.

He watched Kagome cry. Watched Kagome scream, watched Kagome's eyes as they turned from color to dark.

He watched her control her power. Watched her sweat in pain. Watched her refuse all aid. Watched her arch and push.

His lips parted as she cried out over, and over, and over again.

The love in her eyes now gone, nothing was left but pain.

She reached and cried out his name.

He could stand her blood no longer. He could stand her screams no longer. He could stand her pain no longer.

He had done this to her.

He left the room, he left her. She knew he would. The sneer on his face when he looked at his new nephew told her enough.

Her eyes cried, never leaving the spot he once was as she brought their son into the world.

She was surrounded by people but at that moment she had never in her life felt more alone.

They laid the baby on her. He was beautiful. Small with a powerful cry. White hair, moon markings and pale skin, he looked so much like his father.

InuTashio came in after they laid her in bed and covered her, the baby curled into her arms.

Her eyes watched the door. "He won't come my dear." He said softly. He came closer and sat next to her.

Her fear washed over him. "What is it?" He asked her softly as not to disturb the nursing babe. Kagome slowly pulled back the covers on the infant.

"No one seemed to notice." She choked out, "He's so perfect." Tears ran down her face. She was hurting in so many ways.

"That is why you are afraid?"

"It's only a matter of time." She sobbed. "Before someone other than me and you notice."

Just then Kagura came in.

"Take him, please." She begged in a whisper. "Don't let her be the one, please." She pulled the nursing baby away from her and into his hand. He looked down. "Kagome."

"Take him" Tears could not be held back.

He stood, she covered her face with her hands. She knew it as soon as she noticed his lack of dog ears. She would never leave with her son.

Someone would take him. Kagura, his mother, him.

He would not protect her nor keep her. And if not, she could only hope he would protect him.

So, as InuTashio swiftly left, Kagome stopped Kagura from following. "I know it was you." She said.

Kagura stopped.

"I know it was you who told Naraku."

"My mate to be will not believe you."

She shook her head. "It doesn't matter anyway I need a favor."

"Oh?"

InuTashio walked outside to his son, bundle in hand. "Will you not even see your son?"

"He is not my son."

"But he is, and she knew that he would never leave with her, my son."

The wind blew through Sesshomaru's hair and then he heard the baby's coo. He was so focused on keeping everyone out that he didn't feel it.

"Kagura?"

"Her, your mother, it would have been someone Sesshomaru."

Then the baby cried out. "Won't you look at him?"

Sesshomaru slowly turned and walked the few steps to his father and under the moonlight, he met his son for the first time.

While he was laying eyes on him, Kagura was making her way through the wind with a miko in her arms, they were headed North.

Kagome's blood dripped down as they flew through the sky and into a secret portal.

Kagome was right about Kagura.
