They took up a quiet spot and talked.

Kagome eyed Sesshomaru as he stood talking to the demoness across the room.

"Kagome are you listening," Kikyo snapped from across the table with the book open in front of her.

"Sorry, what,"

"They discovered rare meat seemed to agree with her,"

Sesshomarus's mother sat at the table listening,

"You look like you lost weight," Inuyasha said with concern eying his wife's growing belly.

"Up until today, I haven't been able to eat,"

"Raw meat is easy enough," His mother stated.

Kikyo eyed her "They also found cold weather helped, and sea weather made it worse."

It was summer, and hot.

"It is why he took her to the winter palace," His mother stated.

Kikyo found her to be very talkative for a woman who did not like to be around people, especially humans.

Suddenly Kagome did not look good; whatever had been making her feel better suddenly was gone and they watched it before their eyes.

Kikyo put the book back.

"Hey asshole, " Inuyasha yelled,

"Do you always bark like so?" The moon mother asked,

"What is it half-breed," Sesshoamru asked, the demoness behind him.

"If you spent less time with her and more time with Kagome, she would not look like this,"

"Do not speak of things you do not know of Inuyasha,"

"I got eyes jerk, I know what is going on; you're looking to mate and to have a full-blooded pups because Kagome aint good enough for you, well you know what you aint good enough for her,"

Insulted and honored in one sentence Kagome half smiled.

"Come, Miko," He offered his hand, and to Inuyasha's shock, she took it, and they walked out. She smiled as they walked down the hall "You are amused,?"

"He is right, and it bothers," Which did please her.

"You have drained your energy being brave with your mouth, Miko."

"Worth it,"

"You would risk our child to win an argument with me?"

"Dont act like you care Sesshomaru,"

He stopped and grabbed her "I am here am I not,"

"Your twisted sense of honor is not the same as caring!"

He pulled her close "I tire of your insults woman,"

"Truth hurts doesn't it, not let me go,"

"Or what Miko?"

She put her hand against his chest and pushed slightly "Let go,"

"You will hurt him,"

"He's fine," She started to draw up a little power but then Sesshomaru's hand made contact with her tummy.

She was bloated at best, but when moved his hand around she shut her power down and she gasped.

"What, what are you doing?"

"I am his father,"

He rubbed her tummy and her hands slipped from his chest, and she looked down.

With his free hand he made her look at him "I owe you something,"

"What?" She whispered,

He leaned down and kissed her; his other hand moved from her belly and held her face, and deepened the kiss. He almost forgot what this felt like and it worried him that he wanted to remember.

He slowly broke the kiss and looked at her,

"A reminder Miko that I am all male or shall I really remind you that I am not half a man in another way?"

The memory of their night came rushing back, and heat pooled inside her. She almost wanted to, but then a door slid open, and the reminder of why she didnt came walking out.

The demoness who was still around, she would most likely become his mate. The life that may be growing in her meant more to him than the one living now inside her.

That was poetic, seeing as he constantly insulted his brother for loving the dead over the living.

Kagome stepped back "I can make it back by myself, im fine now,"

His mother wasn't the only one who could throw cold water.
