She was upset when they left without saying goodbye. Tula calmed her but her belly was growing as well, and Kagome felt bad for keeping her here; she told her to go too.

"But Kagome,"

"I will be fine,"

Sesshoamru stood watching the two women.

Tula leaned in, her blue hair swaying "But then you will be alone with him,"

"I can handle him,"

Sesshomaru raised an elegant eyebrow, she most certainly could not.

"But-

"No butts, go but visit, but go,"

She was tired of being everyone ones problem, even his.

Tula lowered her head and agreed, and so they two left the palace.

Kagome looked at him and then walked away. What was it about being close to him that did she not get?

"Now, where are you going,"

"To the bath,"

He still followed, and then they ran into the demoness who was still there. She sent all her friends away; couldn't he send his girlfriend away?

"My Lord, my Lady,"

Kagome blushed; it sounded wrong.

"Shouldn't I be calling you that?" Kagome asked,

He snorted,

The woman waved her hands back and forth. "No, im not his mate nor carry his seed,"

"Im going now to bathe now," She needed an exit. "And you aren't invited!" Kagome snapped, seeing him move again.

"It is not safe for you to do so alone," He stated,

"I will be happy to assist,"

Kagome wanted to groan, she kept repeating that this was not the woman's fault. Yet she didn't fully trust this woman either.

"Fine, come on," Still she was a better option than him.

Sesshoamru didn't like it one bit. Kagome could feel it. "Dont worry your girlfriend will be fine,"

Sesshoamru questioned which of the two women she was referring to, as she called, his girlfriend.

While he didn't join them, he stayed close enough. His back was to them.

"You are showing," The demon pointed out,

"Hardly," Kagome ran her hand over her so-called bump.

"I must admit I am rather jealous,"

"Of what?"

"You carry his seed, his firstborn,"

Kagome sat, sadness washed over her. To him, it would not be his firstborn. Kagome eyed the demoness. She was pretty. Long hair, black hair, slight talker, fuller breasts and lips, and while she could tell this woman was powerful enough, she could easily defeat her.

Then she wondered, did he touch the same way he touched her? Did he talk to her the same way he spoke to her? Did they kiss?

She shook her head; what was she thinking?

"Im not shocked that I did not conceive; it was rather quick,"

Kagome poured water over her shoulder,

"He didnt go slow?" Kagome dared to ask, forgetting the demon lord could hear her.

"Oh no, do not misunderstand; what he did with me was for duty alone,"

Kagome looked down. "I was an accident, and im not misunderstanding. You dont have to defend anything," Especially him.

"So, he did not take care with you?"

"No, he did, it's just-" She looked at the demoness who tilted her head "Never mind, I think I should get out," Kagome grabbed a robe and slowly made her way out.

Sesshoamru was waiting, and they slowly walked back to the room.

"You are quiet," He had heard all,

"Just trying to figure out who is the other girl is all," She didn't know why she said it.

He was confused by that statement. Kagome shook her head, of course, she was.

"If she is supposed to be your mate why, why did you-

"Who said anything about mating her?"

"Do you have commitment issues?"

"Do not attack me woman,"

"Im just trying to figure you out one moment you're hot the next you're cold,"

He raised an eyebrow,

"You were so warm with me though you dont care, so cold with her even though she-

"She what?"

"Is the one you chose,"

"My mother chose,"

"But you slept with her!" She snapped walking away from him "Did you kiss her like you kissed me, say things to her like you said them to me, or is every girl you sleep with a game to you?"

She really did want to know, part of her hoped he would say he did so she would have a reason to hate him because day by day it was getting hard to feel that way. He was hurting her without trying sometimes and yet she still cared.

"I slept with you, that does not mean I cared, I said what I said to make you cum,"

She rushed up to him and slapped him.

There it was, that reminder that he did not like her, love her, need her, want her.

"Go to hell-" She stopped mid-rant,

"Sesshomaru,"

He smelt the blood and picked her up and laid her down. She was starting to freak out "No,"

He pushed the side of her robe away and saw blood between her legs. He closed his eyes "I will fetch Mother,"

She didnt want his mother, she wanted her own.

But his mother came all the same.
