Promise me Forever
Disclaimer: Not Rumiko Takahashi, y'all. Sorry. Sniff.
A.N: Remember that Sesshou's inner doggie talking will always be in bold, and when Sesshy's talking to his inu side, it'll be bold , his inner self calls Sessh' 'Maru'. I made his inner self a bit more..sophisticated. I don't appreciate how people are downgrading him. If you don't like the subtle change, shrugs shoulders indifferently go cry a river in a secluded corner.
Chapter 4
Sesshoumaru's Pov
She hadn't told him.
Anger roared through his veins like a had borne his child, and she hadn't told took a deep breath, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
He'd tell her what he'd thought-"
'No Maru. Think it through first.'
' hn…'
Glaring at Kagome, (who was still sweeping up) he said:
"We need to talk."
Kagome nodded and pointed towards the kitchen. "I'll be back in a little bit, my kakudan (special)," she murmured to Asumi. Asumi nodded, after sending Sesshoumaru a glare, she tugged along her cousin, pushing through the swinging doors. Sesshoumaru counted to 10, letting kagome have enough time to put a barrier around he rpup, and nephew.
When Sesshoumaru heard the 2nd door swish close, he turned to her, growling.
Kagome's mouth tightened. " Not here, anyone might walk in." "Is there a private place here?"
She gave a curt nod and lead the way to the right of the hallway. Sesshoumaru shut the door firmly, taking brief inventory of the 'private place.' It was a quiet place, a grassy little area, with a tanish benches, and a gurgling little water fountain.
He swung towards her.
"Why did it take you eight years to let me know I was a father? Or you didn't child support until now? " he said bitterly. Her fist tightened, and her eyes darkened.
"I don't need or give a damn thing from your sorry a** excuse of a man." She hissed at him.
He barely suppressed the urge to throttle her. Sesshoumaru Takahashi didn't lose control, no matter what the predicament was.
" Then why send me the picture now?"
"Like hell I did!"
Even though his anger, he recognized the sincerity in her voice. He couldn't deny the pure shock when she'd first saw him.
"You mean that, don't you?"
She nodded.
"Then who?"
She shrugged her shoulders. " How would I know? Does it matter?", she raked her claws through her hair.
"Even if our marriage was a mistake, surely I deserve to know i had fathered a pup."
She crossed her arms, hugging herself. "Well?", he snapped at her. Annoyed by her slowness to answer. Anger flared in her face. "You wanted the divorce."
"I had a right to know," he insisted stubbornly. He moved towards her, as if trying to impel and answer from her. Squaring her petite shoulders, she advanced toward to face."You were having my pup. I should've been told." "Aren't you a so-called great and powerful youkai demon? Why couldn't you smell my pregnancy back then?", she sneered at him.
" I was only a mere pup back then. I didn't know any better," he calmly stated.
Kagome raked her hands through her hair, anxiously. " I don't know what you want me to say Sesshoumaru. By the time I knew I was pregnant our marriage was over."
He looked at 'd thought she didn't look a day over 18 when he'd first saw her. Now he saw the added maturity in they way she stood, confronting him.
" You were having my child,Mikage,".he insisted stubbornly." What was the point?" Kagome sniffed a little. Sesshoumaru handed her his handkerchief. " You were busy taking your father's place and saving the Company you had a life mapped out that didn't include a child."
'or me'...At that thought Kagome averted her eyes from his.
He told himself he didn't remember those 2 months being husband to her. That wasn't true. He remembered perfectly well-the furious quarrel with his father over his engagement to a miko-hanyou girl, recalled storming out of the inn, intent on showing the ole fool he could do this himself, manage his own life.
A runaway marriage would do it. It wasn't difficult to convince her to go along with him. But this wasn't the old Kagome, the silly/sweet young women who'd been so dazzled by his 'love' for her, she'd gone along with everything (well, almost) he'd said.
Sesshoumaru slammed the door on those memories. He'd better focus on the present. "And you figured you didn't need me." He realized that their pup, probably didn't need him either. " I have my pack,"she said with a small smile. She gestured the Mikage's very different auras.
The movement sent a whiff of her scent to him.
'Sakura flowers and Sunshine'...
