In the Village
Kagome found Kaede in her garden,
"Ye, Lady Kagome, I thought ye had gone back to the modern era?" Kaede confused.
"I need your help Kaede," Kagome cried as she hugged the old woman,
"What is it that ails ye my child?" Kaede asked,
"I'm pregnant…with Lord…" Kagome being interrupted by Kaede quickly pulling her inside.
"My goodness child, how did ye manage that?" Kaede seeming worried.
"He was in heat, so really it wasn't his doing, or he didn't mean to do it, it was his beast's idea," Kagome shaking a little.
"Consider yourself lucky that you weren't marked as his, although, you will have to be marked as his if ye want to survive the birth of ye child," Kaede mumbled.
"What?" Kagome's eyes widened,
"There are no instances where a human has survived a hanyou birth," Kaede explained,
"But Inuyasha's mother…" Kagome freaking out,
"Was brought back to life by the sword of Inuyasha's father, the one that Lord Sesshomaru has in his possession right now," Kaede softly. Kagome felt a tear slide down her cheek,
"How long do I have till the birth?" Kagome asked.
"If ye can hold out till the birth, ye have 6 months, it is a possibility ye could kill the child ye carry, but for full demon birth is four months but ye having a full demon is not a possibility," Kaede thought out loud.
"Kaede, I have a bigger problem, I don't know of any doctors that specializes in these kinds of situations, yokais don't necessary run wild in the modern era nor do I trust any, except maybe Sesshomaru but right now if he finds me here in this condition he would surely kill both of us, I just came to ask if there was any kind of herb that could help with the morning sickness?" Kagome asked.
"I'm afraid I don't know, I don't know much about things like this, ye have to ask a yokai," Kaede explained. Kagome knelt down and held her stomach protectively, and cried.
"I'm sorry Kagome," Kaede resting her hand on Kagome's head,
"I smell her, I know she's in here, out of my way!" a familiar voice echoed from outside, Kagome jumped up and ran behind Kaede. Inuyasha busted in with her friends, the ones she could call family.
"I told ya she was here," Inuyasha mumbled,
"You stay the hell away from me, you almost got me killed, I would have died if Lord Sesshomaru hadn't took me to his home," Kagome screamed.
"Kagome, ye can not stress out, its not good for…" Kaede being interrupted by Inuyasha sniffing her.
"You're carrying that bastard's pup!" Inuyasha stunned, Kagome didn't know what to say,
"You left me to die, do you expect me to come running back to you like nothing ever happened? Sit Inuyasha! Sit, sit, sit!" Kagome walking quickly out the door. Her friends ran after her while Inuyasha sat in a crater sized hole in Kaede's hut.
"Kagome, is it true?" Sango asked,
"Yes, and I shall not make it through childbirth unless Lord Sesshomaru marks me as his mate," Kagome explained as she slowly made her way to the well. What they didn't know was that two beings were listening to Kagome talk.
"So she is pregnant with that demon's child, well not for long," the woman coming out of hiding.
"Kikyo," Kagome stopping in her tracks, Sango stepped in front of her and Miroku was behind her waiting for Inuyasha to appear.
"I will have the rest of your soul, Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't mark such a human as yourself, so why not cut out the suffering now?" Kikyo smiling.
"Sit Inuyasha!" Kagome sensing his aura, Inuyasha had been halfway up the hill till he hit the ground. This pissed him off and he let his beast come out, he was charging right at Miroku till a white blur came ramming him into the ground. Sesshomaru had poisoned his veins,
"You will not bring harm to Lady Kagome," Sesshomaru growled as his eyes started to turn red.
"She isn't your mate, she doesn't bare your mark," Inuyasha growled as he flinched in pain from the poison. Sesshomaru's beast slit his neck just enough for Inuyasha to slowly bleed out. Sesshomaru's beast was still agitated and he used his speed to get to Kagome and to Kikyo. He stood his ground, he was stunned, Kagome's powers were a deep maroon color trying to kill Kikyo but they were too weak, Lord Sesshomaru shook himself from the reaction and charged Kikyo, killing her instantly because of the strength he charged her with. Kagome's soul floated from Kikyo's body back into Kagome's body, she groaned and started trying to sit up. Lord Sesshomaru's beast watched her struggles, he went over to her side to help her up but she backed away from him.
"This Sesshomaru will not harm Lady Kagome," Sesshomaru's beast trying to assure her in a serious tone. Kagome slowly stood up, Lord Sesshomaru steadied her.
"You carry my pup within your womb, you must be more careful," Lord Sesshomaru slowly pulling away.
"I have to go," Kagome backing away from him into the direction of well, Lord Sesshomaru just realized something,
~It wasn't her power that was trying to save her, it was my pup's, our pup's that means…~ his beast being pulled from his thoughts.
"Lady Kagome, wait," Rin running to the well, she was gone again.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you have to go after her, you have to mark her, she'll die, Rin doesn't want Kagome to die!" Rin freaking out and begging him.
"This Sesshomaru can not follow where she goes, only can the half breed," Sesshomaru blinking and his eyes slowly changing back to his golden orbs.
~How could she possibly be carrying a full blooded pup in her womb? It can't be possible!~ Sesshomaru still confused but again Rin drug him out of his stupor.
"Lord Sesshomaru, please try to get to her, she is carrying your baby, she will die if you don't mark her!" Rin cried. He glanced down at Rin, he could see that Rin held great love for the young lady that was carrying his full yokai pup, he nodded and walked to the well, Rin put something into his clawed hand. He looked into his hand and found a shard, he looked confused at Rin,
"It's the way Kagome gets through," Rin softly. He jumped into the well and landed at the bottom, apparently he couldn't get through,
"Kagome, be strong," Sesshomaru growled. He slammed his fist into the ground, his beast howled with the whole feudal era hearing his cries. Kagome felt the ground underneath her tremble, it made her sad for some reason, she even felt his howl in her bones. A lone tear slid down her face,
"I'm sorry," Kagome mumbled softly, slowly she raised up and climbed out of the well, she thought about Kaede's words.
~I do have that money I was saving for college, maybe I could move into one of my friends places and use my bike as transportation, of course once I get bigger I cant do that.~ Kagome thought. She ran in the house and upstairs, she was breathing heavily but she felt better than she had since she had all her soul back and she had Lord Sesshomaru to thank for that and she sort of felt bad for having made Sesshomaru so sad. She packed some clothes and grabbed her money from her hiding spot and raced down to her bicycle, her mother was trying to catch up with her but couldn't since she herself was six months pregnant. Kagome raced off without a goodbye. Once she was out of range of her mother she slowed down, she didn't know where she was going to go, all her friends had moved on, she didn't have their numbers anymore. So she walked around town for a couple of hours, her old friend Ayume was in town, just shopping through the street markets,
"Kagome, Kagome over here," Ayume shouting at her,
"Oh my god! Ayume, I haven't seen you in a long time," Kagome crying as she hugged her.
"Hey, what's wrong, you okay?" Ayume hugging her back,
"Not really, I need a place to stay, my mother practically kicked me out," Kagome softly.
"Stay with me, I have a really good job, I could get you a job there, and I would like to have a roommate," Ayume explained, Kagome blinked,
"Really, are you serious?" Kagome asked,
"Yeah," Ayume giggled.
"Thank you so much!" Kagome smiling,
"Its not a problem, let me finish up here, and we can put your bike in the trunk and we'll go get you settled in," Ayume explained,
"Thank you so much, you don't know how grateful I am right now," Kagome smiling.
"We used to be like sisters, I couldn't let you live out on the streets," Ayume explained.
At Ayume's Place
"Wow, so you are pregnant? What about the guy, does he know, does he want it?" Ayume asked,
"I don't know, I don't know, it wasn't planned," Kagome tearing up again,
"I'm sorry, lets get your room all nice, you don't have to pay any bills or anything, I can do that, but you need your money for the baby, so you just worry about that, we'll go in the morning and get you an application for a job," Ayume explained.
"At least let me help pay for something," Kagome explained,
"Oh no, you have too much on your plate to worry about," Ayume explained,
"Now, here is your room, you can use the dressers and the closet, why don't you go shower and I will head out for some take out," Ayume explained,
"You just focus on relaxing," Ayume hugging her.
"Thank you again Ayume," Kagome explained,
"Its not a problem," Ayume rubbing her arms, she left the house and got food. Kagome was hungry, so she went looking for food in the fridge, she found some frozen meat, she grabbed it, ripped open the package. She found a plate and put the frozen meat block in the microwave to heat it up. It wasn't long till she was chowing down on the raw bloody meat, she had half of it ate when the doorbell rang. Kagome was confused who it could be but thought it to be one of Ayume's friends so she walked to the door and opened it, before she could greet the man, he had slipped a piece of cloth over her nose and mouth causing her world to go black. The man got her carefully into the van and sped away. Ayume barely caught the guy in the act but she was still too far away to make out the licenses plate numbers.
"Shit, Kagome!" Ayume screamed, she dialed the number for the police station,
"My friend was just kidnapped, they are in a white van, they are headed east out of the city, please do something Ayume crying hysterically.
"Alright, we'll send someone out, meanwhile give me your address and home phone number, more than likely they will call for a ransom," the police officer calmly stated.
"Aren't you listening, my friends was kidnapped, she is pregnant, for god's sake," Ayume screaming.
"Mamm, calm down…" the police officer trying to calm her down,
"Screw you, if you guys wont get off your asses and do something, I will," Ayume flipping her cell phone closed and jumping in her car and speeding off. The police officer grabbed his coat and prepared a team together and told them the situation, they headed out.
Ayume was speeding for the draw bridge at the end of town she could see the bridge and the van, she sped up. She could see the bar coming down to stop traffic for the oncoming ship, the last vehicle to make it was the van.
"NO!" Ayume pulling over, she jumped out of the car and started banging and kicking the car.
