Kagome swore the inn had some kind of spell on it. She slept with him again, let him cum inside her again. Plus, Sango was blushing, Miroku was smiling, and she didn't have to put two and two together to figure out why.

She made a mental note to never trust Miroku with finding an inn again.

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru was replaying their night over and over in his head.

Kagome was trying hard not to look at him as they walked. He smirked and put his hand down, rubbing her belly. She stopped walking and slapped his hand away. "Stop that,"

"It is only natural,"

"We do not even know if there is anything in there yet,"

Sango pulled Miroku to keep going,

"Then why did you let me fill you again?"

Kagome looked away, blushing like mad. "How could I say no," She pouted. "The way you asked,"

Her words from yesterday came back in full force, and suddenly, he knew what he needed to do to make her his wife. He smirked without realizing it, which made her all the more mad at him.

"I wish I could sit you!"

This, of course, removed the smile from his face, but before he could rebuttal, he felt it, him. Great. He was hoping he would stay away a little longer. Sesshomaru turned, and Kagome raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" Her mood swings were often funny to him when they were directed at his brother, not so much himself. Kagome drew closer to him. Did she realize it? He didn't know, but it did please him.

"Inuyasha,"

Sure enough, she could see him running up the hill, Kikyo on his back.

He made it up the hill with no issue and slowly sat Kikyo down. "Took me forever to track you; the old hag at the inn said y'all just left; tell me you didn't stay at that place."

"It was Miroku's fault," Kagome blurted out,

"Of course, it was what did you expected, I am surprised Sango didn't kick his ass,"

Sesshomaru didn't understand; the last time they were all together, they were at war with each other, and now they acted as if nothing happened.

"I suspect the slayer enjoyed her stay enough to forgive the monk," Sesshomaru spoke,

"Yall stayed in separate rooms?" Inuyasha asked,

Kagome wanted to hide, and Sesshomaru began to wonder if his brother was just that stupid.

"Inuyasha," Kikyo spoke, clearly seeing the gears running in Sesshomaru's head. She was quite shocked to learn about Kagome and Sesshomaru and even more shocked to hear that she may be pregnant. It was so unfair. She tried not to despise Kagome, but it seemed like Kagome would always get what she always wanted. Granted, she did have Inuyasha now.

"I grow tired," She was receiving less and less souls.

"Yall headed West," Inuyasha wasn't asking,

"Hn,"

Kagome looked between the two brothers. One wasn't asking, and the other wasn't offering. She wanted to roll her eyes. "Are yall coming with us?"

Inuyasha looked at her. "Can we?" She knew it was his way of apologizing, sorta. It was in his eyes and the way he spoke.

"Sure," And that was her forgiving him, sorta. She knew they would still talk about it at some point, though it really didn't matter; what was done, was done.

"Are the monk and slayer staying as well?" Kikyo asked,

"Yeah, just until-" Kagome stopped; it was awkward, and her nervous eyes darted to Sesshomaru for a moment.

"Until such time that the Miko is convinced of the baby growing inside her,"

Kagome and Inuyasha did not make eye contact.

"You are unsure?" Kikyo asked, confused.

"I am aware, she is not convinced," Sesshomaru answered,

"Miko, you are aware of how such things work, yes?" Kikyo asked,

Kagome groaned. "Yes, but I also have way more knowledge on how this all works, and there is still a chance im not,"

"You have demon and human mating knowledge I though that did not exist in your time?" Kikyo crossed her arms.

"They dont," Kagome confirmed,

"It is not the same Kagome," Kikyo offered. "If he wanted you mated and marked, he would make it so,"

"Yeah, that human body doesn't work that way."

Kikyo leaned in. "But demon seed does,"

Sesshomaru smirked, Kagome blushed, and INuyasha turned his back to all of them.

"Make no mistake, you are pregnant,"

"What about her being a Miko," Inuyasha asked quietly. He hated thinking about it.

This, of course, made Kikyo second guess, and she looked at Sesshomaru. "I have no knowledge in that regard; Kagome may be correct,"

They were saying it, but Sesshomaru was still sure she was carrying his baby, and if he wanted her to mate him, he would have to ask, but he wasn't doing that with these two around.

In the distance, Miroku and Sango stopped and called out for Kagome when they noticed they were no longer being followed.

"Shall we?" Kikyo asked. Kagome nodded, and oddly, together, they began to walk, leaving the brothers to stand together.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru eyed one another. "You know, to her, this was all just a one-night stand, right?"

"You assume that incorrectly, Inuyasha,"

Inuyasha looked away; of course, he knew that he could smell it. "Tk," Inuyasha followed after the girl, and Sesshomaru followed after him. His brother's unwanted arrival was throwing off his mood and his plans.

Sesshomaru had hoped to have time alone with her to sort it out before she figured out that, as most times, he was correct.
