Sango and Kagone didn't know what to do. This is not what they wanted for their newfound friend. It was at the last fight with Naraku that they met her. Naraku had Tula caged up. Needless to say, they saved her and became friends. Tula was the last of her kind, Naraku's demon slaves killed all her family. Kagome asked her to come with them, to be part of their own little made-up family. Tula was more than happy to join them. Kagome was glad to have more company. The jewel ended up back inside Kagome's body, lucky for her she could come and go as she pleased from her time to their time.

"Well, I better be going Lord Sesshomaru will be very angry if I do not follow."

"What about your mate to be?" Kagome asked, very worried about the girl.

"Will you tell him what's going on?" She asked.

"No!" Kagome said as she stalked past Tula.

"What? What are you doing?" Tula asked, watching her friend walk past her.

"I'm going to go have a little talk with Mister High and mighty!" Kagome stuck her nose in the air. "Wait, Kagome! Don't he will kill you!" Tula rushed after her friend. Sango sighed and grabbed her weapon, just in case.

"What's taking them so long, what are those stupid girls doing!" Inuyasha barked.

"Calm down Inuyasha," Kikyo said.

"Yes I'm sure the ladies are fine," Miroku said, his eyes closed, arms crossed with his staff tucked in them.

"Oh yeah, you say that because they're not taking a bath. But I bet if they were, you would be the first one to worry!"

Miroku just sighed, he would not be worried, but he would be the first to go check on them. A smile made its way to the monk's face as he thought about all three women taking a bath together.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and sat back down next to his beloved Kikyo. He would rub her baby bump, but she didn't like anyone touching it. Even alive she seemed to have a cold, touch me not side.

"Kagome!" Tula kept calling, but Kagome just kept waving her hand at her, saying it was fine that she had dealt with the ice prince more than once. Which was true.

Kagome finally did see him walking ahead of her. He must have smelt her because he stopped walking. "Miko," He said.

"Sesshomaru!" She called to him, her hands on her hips as she came to a stop. Sango and Tula stopped a few feet behind her.

Sesshomaru turned and looked at them. "Who do you think you are!" Kagome asked tapping her foot.

"I am this Sesshomaru," He said. He thought that maybe the woman had finally lost it.

"I know who you are, Sesshomaru!" Kagome huffed. Tula could not believe her friend was still alive. She leaned back and whispered, "U Sango did I miss something?"

"No, they're always like this."

Yep, sesshomaru would always be high and mighty, and Kagome would always have something to say about it.

"Then why, Miko did you ask such a question?" Sometimes she forgot she was from another time.

"Never mind, Sesshomaru, but you just can't come along and drag our friend away!" She dared not say more. She already felt her cheeks turning red. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.

"I can and I will, and it is none of your concern." He said as he turned back around.

"Do you plan on marrying her!" Kagome asked.

"I know not of what you speak of," He said.

"Um, Kagome it's call mating," Sango pointed out.

"Oh yeah, well do you plan on mating her?" She snapped.

Sesshomaru turned back around. Not that it was any of her business, and Tula had already told her it was just a pupping call not a mating call. "No, I have no use for a mate."

Kagome was so mad; yep, men had not changed in 500 years. In her time, it was very common for a man to knock up a girl and not marry her.

"You just can't knock her up!" What's with her and her terms? Come on, Kagome, again, he will have no idea what you're talking about.

"Woman I know not-

"Yeah, yeah, you know nothing. Look, you can't just use her for your pleasure and your pupping needs!" But the fact was he could.

Sesshomaru was done with this.

"Woman, I can and I will, but trust me when I say pleasure will not be involved." His tone was never changing. It was calm and uncaring.

"What!" Kagome could not believe what she was hearing! "But she has a mate to be!"

Sesshomaru moved his eyes from Kagome to her friend. "Is this true?" He asked.

Kagome thought she had something. "Yes, My Lord," Tula said, bowing her head.

"Very well, I will send a messenger for him." With that, he turned around again. He wishes for nothing more than to return to his castle. Kagome looked back at her friends. "What just happened?" She asked Tula.

"Well, it would seem my mate-to-be is allowed to come along."

"So you're still going!"

"I have to!" Tula said, walking up to her friend and putting a hand on her shoulder.

"But you can't!" Kagome felt bad, really bad.

"What are you going to do after it's born? Will you get to see it? Will you want to see it?" Kagome kept asking question after question.

"Kagome, calm down!" Tula pleaded.

"Miko, you are getting on my nerves; come along if you wish, but we are leaving." With that, he began to make his way to his castle.

"Oh Kagome, will you come! You could be my lady in waiting kinda!"

Yes, she wanted to come; she was not going to let this happen! "Yes, I will go!"

Kagome turned to Sango. "Will you tell the others?"

"Of course, be safe, you two."

"We will, I will get in touch with you as soon as I can," Kagome said as she locked arms with Tula.

Tula and Kagome followed Sesshomaru while Sango made her way back to camp. Oh, what tomorrow will bring.
