Kagome moaned in pain as bright light flooded into her eyes.
"Sesshomaru…?" she called out trying to sit up. Pain shot up her arm.
"AGHHH!" she screamed, trying to move away from the pain.
"Kagome-san! Calm down, my dear! Lay back down…. Your safe…..Sesshomaru-sama is with the children, explaining everything." The kind doctor's face appeared above hers.
"It Hurts So Bad!" she gritted her teeth.
"I will give you some more numbing…hold on…." She heard him shifting around to find something. Something pinched her arm and then she slowly lost the feeling in her arm.
"Where are my babies?" she asked when she didn't feel the pain any more. She struggled to sit up and swing her legs off the table.
"Lady Kagome! WAIT! Ugh….miko, you are going to be the death of me…." Myoga groaned. Kagome smiled slightly at the old man.
"If you don't collapse right when you hop off then I'll have a guard take you…." He sighed.
"Thank you Myoga-kun!" kagome grinned. Gingerly she got off the table. She closed her eyes as dizziness swept over her.
"I think you that on purpose just to spite me." He pouted. He went and motioned for a guard to come over.
"Escort lady Kagome to her apartments. Make sure she lays down when you get there." Myoga shook a finger in the young guards face.
"Yes, Myoga-sama! Here, Lady Kagome." The soldier offered his arm and kagome gratefully took it. They walked slowly out the door and down the hallways.
"You probably should have rested more in the medical wing, My Lady." The soldier said with a small smile.
"My little darlings are probably scared….no time for the medical wing. Besides, Myoga would have smothered me with a pillow or something. "Kagome let out a small chuckle.
"Why would he do that?!" the soldiers eyes opened a bit more in surprise.
"It might be because of yesterday when I dropped a whole thing of experiment samples….he he…..it was an accident I tell you!" kagome laughed, fighting the dizziness. Grin and bear it she told herself.
"Hai that might be it!" the soldier let out a small chuckle.
"What's your name?" kagome said as she kept going steadily in small steps down the hallway.
"Ayumu, My lady."
"Oh, help me out….what does it mean again? It hurts to think right now." Kagome gave a small innocent smile.
"It means 'dream or vision', Madame." Ayumu gave her a bright smile.
"I like it. It had a nice ring to it." Kagome played with the sounds for a moment mentally.
"Here is your quarters, my lady. Do you have your keys with you?" Ayumu asked. Kagome nodded, with careful movements she pulled a key out from a pocket. She handed the key to Ayumu. He took the key and released her arm, letting her lean against the wall for balance.
"Lady Kagome, are you sure you locked the door before you left?"
"I'm certain!" kagome's eyes widen. Ayumu moved his index finger over his lips, shushing her. He drew his sword and silently opened the door cautiously. Kagome bit her lip, only thinking about what could be in there with her children. Ayumu led her through the dark living room and rooms. He checked Shippo's room, but the boy was gone. Kagome's eyes widen further.
"Leth check your daughterth room…" Ayumu dropped the 'S' sound on the words. When one is trying to be quite and unheard its best not to use the –s.
"Hai." Kagome whispered. They crept along until they reached the white door. Slowly Ayumu opened the door. The sight that met them shocked them both so much.
Sesshomaru sat on Rin's bed. A sleeping Shippo's head on his lap, while Rin was cradled to his chest. His long white hair curtained over the children. Pink light filtered through the room and cast a glow behind the figures on the bed.
"Kagome-chan. You are alright." Sesshomaru said softly, not moving an inch, in case he woke the children.
"Yes, I'm alright. How are they?" she asked in a whisper. Her arm still being held by Ayumu. Ayumu looked between his Lord and the Lady quickly with upraised eyebrows.
"Rin's father is dead." Sesshomaru locked eyes with her.
"Kouga…" she said softly. Her eyes taking on a sad filled eye.
"Come lay down, Kagome. You should not be up and about yet." Sesshomaru motioned with is eyes for her to lay on the bed with them.
Ayumu helped her walk over to the other side of the bed and helped her lay down behind Sesshomaru. She wrapped her body around him so she could see her children sleeping there.
"My Lord, I will Guard the door way, if you wish." Ayumu bowed to Sesshomaru once he reached the door way.
"Hai. Let the maid, Sango, and the Gentlemen-in-waiting, Miroku in. make sure they will have food prepared and that they stay quite. Also, send a page out to see if the captain has carried out his orders." Sesshomaru ordered. He felt kagome's knees press on his left thigh as she gazed at Shippo and Rin.
'The miko likes being close to us.' The beast sighed.
'Shush….she is scared and seeking comfort.' Sesshomaru reasoned.
'You know as well as I do that it is not true. She has grown to like your presence…. Just accept that. No one else has ever Liked your presence before. Let her enjoy yours as you enjoy hers.' The beast quietly reasoned. Sesshomaru nodded slightly. The guard closed the bedroom door as he marched out to the door way.
"Thank you for taking care of us." Kagome sighed tiredly.
"This Sesshomaru enjoys taking care of you and the children…" Sesshomaru answered quietly. Her eyes widen for a moment but then she relaxed.
"You know, the children have always thought highly of you. They never once blamed you for the troubles in their little lives." She yawned.
"Why wouldn't they blame this one?" Sesshomaru asked, directing his gaze on the kitsun and human child.
"Because they always thought that you were the bravest out of the youkai and one day you would save them. I guess that little notion in their heads became true. I didn't know that dreams come true." She closed her eyes as the sun slowly rose in the sky.
Sesshomaru only sat, stunned. A beautiful woman wrapped around him and two children in his grasp.
And he was happy.
