Sesshoumaru,
It's happened. The baby is being born.
~~
Sango, InuYasha, Miroku, and Shippo stood outside. They cringed each time they heard Kagome's scream fill the air.
Shippo was staring at InuYasha. "InuYasha," he said. He was twelve now, and stood much taller. His hair reaching down to mid back, he had lost the fox feet, but grew normal one's instead. He had sharp claws now, and was managing his kitsune powers much better then he was when he was little.
"What is it, runt?" InuYasha snapped at him.
"Who's the father?" Sango and Miroku looked at them.
"Shippo," Sango said standing up, along side of Miroku. "What do you mean? Both Kagome and InuYasha told us that they where mates, and that the child was theirs,"
"It's not true," Shippo said, still staring at InuYasha. "I can smell someone's sent all over her. She doesn't smell like herself, or InuYasha. You see, Youkai birth, the female, who is going into the labor, looses her sent, and is covered with the males sent, the father of the baby, I mean," Shippo blinked. "Kagome's doesn't smell like you, InuYasha. Who's the father?"
InuYasha stared at the Kitsune. "I never should have trained you," he said. Shippo stared at him.
"I think it's best, if you tell us who is the father, InuYasha," Miroku said, leaning slightly on his staff. Sango nodded. InuYasha sighed, looking up at the stars twinkling brightly in the sky.
"I swore not to tell. So I won't. But he'll be here soon enough. I've sent word," Sango and Miroku looked at each other.
"This might not turn out happy," Sango said.
"I can't believe InuYasha lied to us, about something so important," Miroku said, eyeing the hanyou concerned. "I have to wonder why, he lied. InuYasha normally would never lie. Something big must be up,"
"It's most likely got something to do with Kagome. She must have made him promise not to tell. So me must act like we don't know anything at all, and everything is still the same. It's most likely a full demon who mated with her. For she did turn into a full demon. It's a wonder why I didn't think of that, before hand," Miroku was about to say something, when InuYasha started to growl, his eyes searching for something in the forest. Miroku steadied his staff, while Sango grabbed her weapon. Shippo got into fighting stance, along side of InuYasha, who he too, was in a fighting stance. Kirara ran to the door of the hut, and transforming, she too, ready for an up coming battle.
"Do you all wish to fight, me?" a cold voice said, coming from the woods. "I thought I was invited here, by you, your self, InuYasha,"
Sango, Shippo, and Miroku gasped slightly. InuYasha growled slightly.
"You took enough time, Sesshoumaru," InuYasha growled. Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Where is Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked, though he all ready new the answer. He eyes went to the hut. To every one else, he was still as cold as every when he looked at the hut, but to InuYasha, who new him better then he wished, saw a flicker of emotion play through his eyes, though quickly put away.
"Why did you wait so long to take her?" InuYasha asked. Sesshoumaru's eyes flickered to his.
"Come again?"
"You took her to your bed! Got her pregnant! Then LEFT!" InuYasha shouted. "Why the hell did you do that, Sesshoumaru?!" Sesshoumaru shook his head slightly.
"I thought I was doing Kagome a favor, leaving her with her friends, then shutting her up in my castle, in time of war for the western lands," InuYasha glared at him.
A blood-curling scream came through the air once more, then a sound of a babies cry filled the air. Sesshoumaru looked at the hut, his face once more unemotional.
Without another word, Sesshoumaru walked past the dumbfounded group, and walked into the hut. He fought the temptation to cover his nose, from the thick smell of blood that covered the hut.
"Sess-hou-ma-ru," a panting voice said. Sesshoumaru turned his head to the right, to see Kagome laid on the ground, with Keade. Keade had a small bundle of blankets, in her arms as she stood.
"Lord Sesshoumaru," Keade said, standing up. "You're son, I believe?" She handed him the bundle of blankets. Sesshoumaru took the child, looking down at the small baby face, looking back at him. A blue sickle moon rested in the child's forehead, while bright blue eyes stared up at him. Sesshoumaru looked back over to Kagome, who stared up at him. "I'll leave Ye to your selves," Keade said as she walked out the hut.
"Kagome," he kneeled beside her on the futon. Kagome looked up at him. "I expect you to come to the palace with me,"
"I know,"
"And I expect you to properly except the title of 'lady of the western lands',"
"I know,"
"And I expect you to realize that even if we did mate under the most . . . Uncommon reason . . . We will act like mates,"
"I figured as much,"
"So that means, no lovers, so such nonsense,"
"I'm not an idiot, Sesshoumaru," Kagome said frowning at him. Sesshoumaru smirked.
"I never said that you where one," Sesshoumaru handed Kagome the baby. "Our son," he said. Kagome smiled down at the child.
"He looks so much like his father," Kagome said smiling at the son, she all ready loved so much. Sesshoumaru smirk deepened, with masculine pride as he looked at his strong mate, and child.
"With the exception of his mother's eyes," Sesshoumaru placed a hand behind Kagome's neck softly, kissing her forehead, shocking her a little. He all most laughed at her face, still beaded slightly from the birth of their son. "Rest up, mate," he said. "We have a lot of traveling to do in the morning," Kagome nodded. Sesshoumaru stood and started to walk away from Kagome, but Kagome called out for him. Sesshoumaru looked at her.
"Are you not staying?" Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Like I would leave my mate, and child for long, with out proper protection . . . I need to talk to InuYasha. Even he is owed an explanation, on our . . . Circumstance," Sesshoumaru smirked at her. "I'll be back soon," and with that he left.
~~
"You owe me an explanation, Sesshoumaru!" InuYasha shouted at him, from the instant Sesshoumaru stepped from the room. Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Come, brother," InuYasha walked along side of him, till they where away from the village, and away from prying ears.
"I have stayed out of your and Kagome's business for as long as I can!" InuYasha stared up at the sky. "I even pretended to be the child's father, so she wouldn't get the reputation of a . . ." InuYasha didn't need to finish he sentence.
"And I thank you for that. Though I see, that you wish that you truly where the father of my child. Do you love Kagome, or you just desperate to have a family?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Who couldn't love her," InuYasha said mournfully, as he looked at the tiny light coming from Keade's hut. "Why did you take her from me?" InuYasha asked looking at his elder brother.
"I didn't mean too, to tell the truth," Sesshoumaru started walking again, enjoying the chance just to stroll under the night sky, in the woods. Even if it was with his half-breed brother.
"How can you not 'mean too'?! You had sex with her, damn it!" Sesshoumaru looked at his brother.
"She was in heat. And we made a deal," Sesshoumaru said. InuYasha looked at him suspiciously.
"And what deal was that?" InuYasha asked, crossing his arms, while he walked along side Sesshoumaru.
"I had fallen across the information that you turn human at the new moon. I was coming to kill you, too end your pathetic life, when I ran into Kagome," Sesshoumaru smirked at InuYasha's rage face. "She sensed me, for my youkai power. And she didn't tell you, because you would have run off looking for me to start a fight. She was right in the middle of her . . . Heat, which you know, dear brother, is the strongest. I instantly was attracted the young virgin female. Human or not. I told her of my plans to kill you, for it was most likely that I was going to kill her also that night.
But Kagome seemed more smart that I gave her credit for," Sesshoumaru said, smirking at InuYasha on growing scowl. "She knew of the . . . strain she was putting on me, to say the least. And we made a deal. I would spare your pathetic life, and in return, I get free . . . Pleasure," Sesshoumaru's all most laughed as his younger brother's face turned red.
"Then why would you mark as your own!?"
"Something about her, intrigued me that night," Sesshoumaru grinned evilly. "And in the deep throws of passion that you will never get from her, I marked her with out realizing what I had done,"
"So how did she turn into a youkai?" InuYasha asked, trying to forget the image of his elder brother horny.
"When a powerful youkai, suck as my self, marks a human, their bodies change. It's a mystery of why it does happen to the world. But I have no complaints,"
"Do you regret it?"
"If you mean, regret taken Kagome as my own, then no. I do not regret,"
"You will treat her good, won't you?" InuYasha asked, stopping in his tracks, staring as his older brother. Sesshoumaru also stopped and peered down at his brother. He stayed silent. "Won't you?" InuYasha asked, his face filling with love and worry over Kagome.
"I'll die for her," Sesshoumaru finally said, walking away. Pondering his own answer. {Would I, Lord Sesshoumaru of the western lands, really lay down my life, for Kagome?} he thought walking back. {I know for my child, I will. But that love comes automatically and unconditionally. But for the miko Kagome?}
He laid aside his pondering, when he brother ran up to him, walking beside him silently.
"When was the last time we did that?" InuYasha asked quietly. Sesshoumaru looked at him, slightly confused.
"Do what?"
"Talk . . . With out the words 'I'll kill you,' or 'die!'" Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Sense you where 15. And I 20, in human years" InuYasha laughed bitterly.
"Damn, how time fly's. I'm 25 now, and you are 30 in human years. And Kagome's . . . Wait, do you even now how old Kagome is?" Sesshoumaru looked at InuYasha with his unemotional mask in place. InuYasha cracked up. "She's 19 in human years,"
Sesshoumaru nodded, looking at his brother. He wouldn't say it if his life depended on it. But he was thankful. {Kami, Rin's getting to me,} Sesshoumaru thought shaking his head.
~~
Kagome woke up in the morning, and jumped slightly, when she found that she was sleeping within Sesshoumaru's arms.
She innocently was laying on her side, as was he, her face softly nuzzling his neck, his arm under her own neck, with the same arm, his hand holding her free shoulder, holding her to him. His other arm, loosely wrapped around her waist, even in his sleep, his claws softly caressed her back, carefully so not to rip her sleeping kimono.
Her own arms where wrapped around his waist. Her arm that was trapped under him went up his back, as if to pin him to her, while she too, and one arm that was loosely wrapped around his waist. Bringing back her head to look at his face, she smiled softly. He still held the angelic look to him while sleeping. She discovered he had after they done . . . Things.
Brining her loose arm, she traced the pinkish-red stripes on his cheek, brushing some of his fine silvery hair out of his eyes.
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes, blinking slightly letting his eyes get used to the morning light. He looked at her confused. He didn't bother hiding his emotions. There where no one else in the hut. "What are you doing?" he asked. Kagome smiled slightly.
"You had hair in your eyes," she said, she reached foreword slightly, brushing the hair behind his ear, then bringing her hand from the top of his head, down in a petting manner. She did it again, and giggled softly, as Sesshoumaru brought her closer to him. Kissing her softly on the forehead, not daring to kiss her on the lips. That would have been going too far. He wasn't about to do anything to frighten his new mate. Their relationship was unsteady enough, all ready. Even though he wanted to kiss her for all it was worth.
Kagome stared at him. All most like she was trying to study his face. "You want to kiss me," she said bluntly. Sesshoumaru smiled softly for a second before his face straitened.
"I do," he said. Kagome stared over his shoulder, all most like she was depressed.
"You forget on what our relationship stands on," Sesshoumaru smirked.
"I forget many things before I am to kiss you," Sesshoumaru said slyly. Kagome looked at him shocked. {The might Lord Sesshoumaru, is flirting with me!} she thought shocked. Her hand slid down from his hair, to his cheek. Sesshoumaru placed his hand over hers, holding it to his face.
He leaned in, licking his lips slightly, he whispered to her. "Will you let me kiss you?" he asked looking strait into his stormy blue eyes.
"Yes," she whispered. She barely had to chance to finish the word 'yes', before Sesshoumaru's lips where upon hers. He still held her hand to his cheek, as he pressed her smaller frame to his larger ones.
Finally letting go of her hand, though she kept it there, her thumb tracing his upper stripe, as he wrapped his arm around her, pressing her to him, even tighter.
The kiss started out soft, all most timid, but as a full minute went bye, the kiss turned more passionate and hurried.
It was their son's cry that separated them. They both stared at each other for a few long seconds. Both wondering what had came upon them. "I have to go to him. He's hungry," Kagome whispered still centimeters from his lips. Sesshoumaru placed a kiss on her forehead, smirking as he looked at her forehead.
"Now that I am here, to fully claim you," Sesshoumaru said, as he sat up, to let Kagome get to their screaming child. "My family mark is forming on your forehead," he said. Kagome stared at him, while she picked up, sitting back down on her side of the futon, in the corners so the others wouldn't see if they happened to walk in. She opened the front of her kimono, letting it suckle its food from her breast. Sesshoumaru looked down at his son.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.
"The moon that is resting on my forehead, as formed on yours, during the night," Kagome nodded.
"Why doesn't InuYasha have one?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru studied his child.
"Because he didn't want to be part of the family," Kagome nodded again.
"We are leaving soon, after you eat," Kagome looked up at him and shyly kissed his cheek. Sesshoumaru smiled down at her.
"Don't be shy," he whispered, kissing her softly. During the kiss, he had placed a hand on her cheek. When the kiss ended, he stood up slowly, sliding his hand slowly from her cheek. Kagome watched him leave the hut, then a few minutes later, come back, with some breakfast for both of them.
When they where finished, Kagome got dressed in a proper kimono, and Sesshoumaru, the baby, and her walked outside of the hut. InuYasha was packing bags onto Ah-Un.
"Those are your things," Sesshoumaru said, his hand on her lower back, as she held their son. Kagome nodded.
"We have to name him some time, you know," Kagome said smiling slightly. Sesshoumaru nodded.
"I know. Later. When we get home," Kagome nodded, looking up at the tall, proud youkai standing beside her. {How in the name in Kami, did this proud taiyoukai ever look twice at me,} Kagome thought. Sesshoumaru looked down at her.
"Are you ready to go?" Kagome nodded.
"Would you mind if I had a few minutes to say good bye?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru nodded. Kagome smiled her thanks, handing their son to him, before turning to Shippo first.
Shippo looked up to her. "You will come visit?" he asked. Kagome smiled and nodded. "Promise?" he asked. Kagome laughed, opening her arms for a hug. Shippo smiled giving her a hug.
"I promise," she breathed through the hug.
She quickly said goodbye to Sango, Keade, and Miroku, while InuYasha and Sesshoumaru talked quietly. Then if was InuYasha's turn. He slowly walked up to Kagome, who looked close to tears.
"I'm so sorry," she whispered. "I did love you, InuYasha," Kagome whispered to him, so no one else heard. InuYasha nodded sadly.
"I know. You did it to protect me," he said. Kagome hugged him tightly. "You belong to him now, Kagome. You're my sister. I just ask you one thing," Kagome sniffed, pulling back, holding both of his hands with her.
"Any thing," she said.
"Make him happy," InuYasha said sadly. "He hadn't had the happiest life when he was younger, and never learned emotions like others. Just make him happy. I hate to say it, but he deserves at least that much. I know, he'll try hard to make you happy. But it won't be easy. He care's for you. I know he does,"
A single tear slid down Kagome's cheek. "I'll try my hardest," she said. InuYasha pulled her into another hug, before stepping back. Watching her walk up to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru looked at him. InuYasha nodded, instantly knowing that Sesshoumaru had heard his little speech to Kagome.
Sesshoumaru looked at him, looking all most thankful to him. InuYasha and the rest of the group waved, as Sesshoumaru and Kagome climbed Ah-Un. Kagome sat in front of Sesshoumaru, leaning against him. Holding an arm around her securely, they flew off into the sky.
"It's going to be different with out Kagome," Miroku said, putting his arm around Sango's shoulders.
"She'll be back. She promised," Shippo said, looking as the finally went out of the view from his sharp kitsune eyesight.
~~
What do you think? This originally was going to be a one-shot, but I got carried away with it. Review if you want me to continue. PLEASE!
It's happened. The baby is being born.
~~
Sango, InuYasha, Miroku, and Shippo stood outside. They cringed each time they heard Kagome's scream fill the air.
Shippo was staring at InuYasha. "InuYasha," he said. He was twelve now, and stood much taller. His hair reaching down to mid back, he had lost the fox feet, but grew normal one's instead. He had sharp claws now, and was managing his kitsune powers much better then he was when he was little.
"What is it, runt?" InuYasha snapped at him.
"Who's the father?" Sango and Miroku looked at them.
"Shippo," Sango said standing up, along side of Miroku. "What do you mean? Both Kagome and InuYasha told us that they where mates, and that the child was theirs,"
"It's not true," Shippo said, still staring at InuYasha. "I can smell someone's sent all over her. She doesn't smell like herself, or InuYasha. You see, Youkai birth, the female, who is going into the labor, looses her sent, and is covered with the males sent, the father of the baby, I mean," Shippo blinked. "Kagome's doesn't smell like you, InuYasha. Who's the father?"
InuYasha stared at the Kitsune. "I never should have trained you," he said. Shippo stared at him.
"I think it's best, if you tell us who is the father, InuYasha," Miroku said, leaning slightly on his staff. Sango nodded. InuYasha sighed, looking up at the stars twinkling brightly in the sky.
"I swore not to tell. So I won't. But he'll be here soon enough. I've sent word," Sango and Miroku looked at each other.
"This might not turn out happy," Sango said.
"I can't believe InuYasha lied to us, about something so important," Miroku said, eyeing the hanyou concerned. "I have to wonder why, he lied. InuYasha normally would never lie. Something big must be up,"
"It's most likely got something to do with Kagome. She must have made him promise not to tell. So me must act like we don't know anything at all, and everything is still the same. It's most likely a full demon who mated with her. For she did turn into a full demon. It's a wonder why I didn't think of that, before hand," Miroku was about to say something, when InuYasha started to growl, his eyes searching for something in the forest. Miroku steadied his staff, while Sango grabbed her weapon. Shippo got into fighting stance, along side of InuYasha, who he too, was in a fighting stance. Kirara ran to the door of the hut, and transforming, she too, ready for an up coming battle.
"Do you all wish to fight, me?" a cold voice said, coming from the woods. "I thought I was invited here, by you, your self, InuYasha,"
Sango, Shippo, and Miroku gasped slightly. InuYasha growled slightly.
"You took enough time, Sesshoumaru," InuYasha growled. Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Where is Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked, though he all ready new the answer. He eyes went to the hut. To every one else, he was still as cold as every when he looked at the hut, but to InuYasha, who new him better then he wished, saw a flicker of emotion play through his eyes, though quickly put away.
"Why did you wait so long to take her?" InuYasha asked. Sesshoumaru's eyes flickered to his.
"Come again?"
"You took her to your bed! Got her pregnant! Then LEFT!" InuYasha shouted. "Why the hell did you do that, Sesshoumaru?!" Sesshoumaru shook his head slightly.
"I thought I was doing Kagome a favor, leaving her with her friends, then shutting her up in my castle, in time of war for the western lands," InuYasha glared at him.
A blood-curling scream came through the air once more, then a sound of a babies cry filled the air. Sesshoumaru looked at the hut, his face once more unemotional.
Without another word, Sesshoumaru walked past the dumbfounded group, and walked into the hut. He fought the temptation to cover his nose, from the thick smell of blood that covered the hut.
"Sess-hou-ma-ru," a panting voice said. Sesshoumaru turned his head to the right, to see Kagome laid on the ground, with Keade. Keade had a small bundle of blankets, in her arms as she stood.
"Lord Sesshoumaru," Keade said, standing up. "You're son, I believe?" She handed him the bundle of blankets. Sesshoumaru took the child, looking down at the small baby face, looking back at him. A blue sickle moon rested in the child's forehead, while bright blue eyes stared up at him. Sesshoumaru looked back over to Kagome, who stared up at him. "I'll leave Ye to your selves," Keade said as she walked out the hut.
"Kagome," he kneeled beside her on the futon. Kagome looked up at him. "I expect you to come to the palace with me,"
"I know,"

He all most laughed at her face, still beaded slightly from the birth of their son. "Rest up, mate," he said. "We have a lot of traveling to do in the morning," Kagome nodded.

"Are you not staying?" Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Like I would leave my mate, and child for long, with out proper protection . . . I need to talk to InuYasha. Even he is owed an explanation, on our . . . Circumstance," Sesshoumaru smirked at her. "I'll be back soon," and with that he left.

The kiss started out soft, all most timid, but as a full minute went bye, the kiss turned more passionate and hurried.
It was their son's cry that separated them. They both stared at each other for a few long seconds. Both wondering what had came upon them. "I have to go to him. He's hungry," Kagome whispered still centimeters from his lips. Sesshoumaru placed a kiss on her forehead, smirking as he looked at her forehead.
"Now that I am here, to fully claim you," Sesshoumaru said, as he sat up, to let Kagome get to their screaming child. "My family mark is forming on your forehead," he said. Kagome stared at him, while she picked up, sitting back down on her side of the futon, in the corners so the others wouldn't see if they happened to walk in. She opened the front of her kimono, letting it suckle its food from her breast. Sesshoumaru looked down at his son.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.
"The moon that is resting on my forehead, as formed on yours, during the night," Kagome nodded.
"Why doesn't InuYasha have one?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru studied his child.
"Because he didn't want to be part of the family," Kagome nodded again.
"We are leaving soon, after you eat," Kagome looked up at him and shyly kissed his cheek. Sesshoumaru smiled down at her.
"Don't be shy," he whispered, kissing her softly. During the kiss, he had placed a hand on her cheek. When the kiss ended, he stood up slowly, sliding his hand slowly from her cheek. Kagome watched him leave the hut, then a few minutes later, come back, with some breakfast for both of them.
When they where finished, Kagome got dressed in a proper kimono, and Sesshoumaru, the baby, and her walked outside of the hut. InuYasha was packing bags onto Ah-Un.
"Those are your things," Sesshoumaru said, his hand on her lower back, as she held their son. Kagome nodded.
"We have to name him some time, you know," Kagome said smiling slightly. Sesshoumaru nodded.
"I know. Later. When we get home," Kagome nodded, looking up at the tall, proud youkai standing beside her. {How in the name in Kami, did this proud taiyoukai ever look twice at me,} Kagome thought. Sesshoumaru looked down at her.
"Are you ready to go?" Kagome nodded.
"Would you mind if I had a few minutes to say good bye?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru nodded. Kagome smiled her thanks, handing their son to him, before turning to Shippo first.
Shippo looked up to her. "You will come visit?" he asked. Kagome smiled and nodded. "Promise?" he asked. Kagome laughed, opening her arms for a hug. Shippo smiled giving her a hug.
"I promise," she breathed through the hug.
She quickly said goodbye to Sango, Keade, and Miroku, while InuYasha and Sesshoumaru talked quietly. Then if was InuYasha's turn. He slowly walked up to Kagome, who looked close to tears.
"I'm so sorry," she whispered. "I did love you, InuYasha," Kagome whispered to him, so no one else heard. InuYasha nodded sadly.
"I know. You did it to protect me," he said. Kagome hugged him tightly. "You belong to him now, Kagome. You're my sister. I just ask you one thing," Kagome sniffed, pulling back, holding both of his hands with her.
"Any thing," she said.
"Make him happy," InuYasha said sadly. "He hadn't had the happiest life when he was younger, and never learned emotions like others. Just make him happy. I hate to say it, but he deserves at least that much. I know, he'll try hard to make you happy. But it won't be easy. He care's for you. I know he does,"
A single tear slid down Kagome's cheek. "I'll try my hardest," she said. InuYasha pulled her into another hug, before stepping back. Watching her walk up to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru looked at him. InuYasha nodded, instantly knowing that Sesshoumaru had heard his little speech to Kagome.
Sesshoumaru looked at him, looking all most thankful to him. InuYasha and the rest of the group waved, as Sesshoumaru and Kagome climbed Ah-Un. Kagome sat in front of Sesshoumaru, leaning against him. Holding an arm around her securely, they flew off into the sky.
"It's going to be different with out Kagome," Miroku said, putting his arm around Sango's shoulders.
"She'll be back. She promised," Shippo said, looking as the finally went out of the view from his sharp kitsune eyesight.
