I wanted to give out at least two chapters at a time to make sure that I write more and invest a little more into this. I'm also trying to be much more careful with mistakes and grammer so please let me know how I'm doing! I have a certain way that this is going but I'm open to suggestions. Hope you liked them (:

"Mama?!" Kagome squealed.

There stood her mother at her bedroom door in all her glory. Her face looked flushed from rushing and her lips in a line of worry. She had almost a thousand bags in her arms which Inuyasha was already at work to relieve her from.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome sat up in bed. The bed she's been confined to by her mate without being able to fight it.

"Why wouldn't I be here?! Inuyasha called and told us that you were sick and needed us to take care of you. We rushed in an instant!" Her mother ran to her side and placed a hand to both of their foreheads.

"Us?.. We?" Kagome slightly cringed.

"You didn't really think we would stay behind, did you?!" Izayoi and Inutaisho stood right where her mother had just been. Kagome's cheeks reddened.

"But- but"

"You're brother and Grandfather won't be coming until the end of the week but we're all going to be here, sweetie." Her mother adjusted her sheets better to keep her warm and began to open up her window shades to let just the right amount of light shine through.

"What! Where will you all be staying?" She asked.

"Turns out the place just below us was ready for sale too. It's even bigger than our's and Sesshomaru's combined." Inuyasha smirked.

"We might as well buy the building.." Kagome couldn't help but mutter, making Inuyasha laugh.

"Kagome? Don't you have a humidifier? You should be breathing better if you're resting? Inuyasha do you know where I could find some thing's for her?" Kaori got to work. Izayoi and Inutasiho had came up to greet the girl closer before running off to find Rin and the kids. Just before Inuyasha was about to take Kagome's mother out for her bit of shopping, he stopped at the door.

"Next best thing, huh?" Kagome asked.

"You can't honestly be mad that I brought your whole family over?" He smirked. She giggled.

"I'm not, but.."

"It's about to get really hectic, isn't it?" He teased and she nodded with a pout. "Get some sleep, Kagome. Rin's got the kids and I've got our parent's" He winked once before closing her door lightly and leaving. Slowly but surely, Kagome could hear voices and footsteps receeding downstairs to nothing but silence. Everyone had left her to get some rest. It was what she wanted. In reality, she wanted all the noise in the world to keep her awake and busy with something. She needed her mind occupied because when she was alone was when the problems arose. Of course, she hadn't told anyone about that. Except for Ayame that one time at work. But she never explained well enough for anyone to question it.

"How is she?" Yura asked. Inuyasha had finally come back to work.

"Stubborn but dealing." He sighed as he sat down on the set couch.

"is she feeling better rested?"

"A little, yea. I can tell she's not sleeping as much as she should but, enough."

"I can tell you're worried."

"Wanna know something funny?"

"Hm?"

"It was only ever Kagome. She was the only person I cared enough to worry about. It's scring me now because I have a reason to worry."

"What do you mean?"

"When we had someone check her, after we found her he said something about it being mental. That it wasn't just physical exhaustion. When I ask her about it, she keeps telling me that works been getting worse and more over bearing but I know her. Well enough to know when she's lying to me and she keeps doing it."

"Did anything happen between you guys before we left last time? Or to her?"

"Nothing. At least nothing between us. We were doing good."

"This is weird."

"yea…"

"You said she can't sleep?" Yura asked.

"I mean, she can. But I can only fully tell that she's sleeping at night. When I'm in bed with her. If I try to leave her alone during the day to sleep on her own while I'm downstairs, I know that she's not. I never hear her breathing steady. If anything sometimes, I hear it speed up."

"Is she having nightmares?"

"Nightmares?"

"Yea! They could really mess with your head. It could be enough to keep you from sleeping and in turn mess you up physically. It's happened to me before."

"Nightmares though?"

"Yes. When you get to sleep tonigt and she does fall asleep, watch her. It's a little creepy but do it. Watch her breathing, her heartbeat. How she moves, everything. See if anything indicates a nightmare. If she calms down when your next to her that means it might not be as excessive if she's not alone but it'll still be evident."

"And if it is a nightmare?"

"Then you figure out what to do from there but you gotta get her to talk to you. She didn't tell anyone about anything?" Yura asked and he shook his head but he was definitely about to ask around.

When his filming for the day was over, he raced over to the grill. Ayame had been taking over the last of the productions for Kagome. A month had gone by and they had another before the event they were getting ready for. They were in the last string of remodeling.

"Inuyasha?" Ayame saw him walk in through the front.

"Hey. Can I talk to you?"

"Sure, let's go upstairs where is quieter." He followed her all the way up the stairs because they were replacing the old elevator systems for something new. When they got into what was actually Kagome's office, he looked around. He saw pictures of their little family on her desk. Some of her things.

"What's up?" Ayame turned to face him.

"Did Kagome evr mention anything weird to you lately? Like not being able to sleep or anything about like-"

"Nightmares?" Ayame finished for him.

"Did she?" He rose a brow.

"Yes. She did. Just one. It was a few days after you had left."

"What did he say exactly?"

"She didn't say anything specific other than they were keeping her from sleeping. And that she had a few panic attacks during the day. She never told me about what though. I think it might have to do with what's wrong with her.." Ayame looked worried. It wasn't helping how Inuyasha was feeling.

"Me too. You didn't notice anything else?" He asked and she shook her head.

"No, nothing. I'm really sorry."

"It's fine. Thanks for that. I've gotta go."

"Let her know that Kouga and I will stop by for a little soon. Okay?!" He lifted his hand to let her know that he heard her on his way out.

What Yura said might be right. Leaving her alone right now at all might be a bad thing. He knew she was home with family but she might be alone in the room anyways. He was rushing home at this point. He had to be extra careful as he watched her today. He had to pay close attention to her.

He came out of the elevator and could already hear voices in his home. Kaori was cooking something in the kitchen and his own mother was in the living room with the kids and Rin. His brother and father were in their study discussing something. He listened closer. Kagome was upstairs alone and she was most definitely, not sleeping. Her breathing was a little erratic too. He was going for his first test.

"Papa!" Shiori yelled and ran into his arms when he got home. The boys followed suit and greeted him.

"Hey Shiori, wanna go see mama?" He asked and the little girl beamed. The kids had been kept away from her for a while because she didn't need stress and this little girl almost cried for an entire day when they had to stay away at first. He knew she would jump at the chance to see Kagome.

"She might tire the girl out more, son." Izayoi told him.

"It's fine. She'll behave." Inuyasha smiled and picked up his daughter.

"Make sure you guys are ready when dinner's done. There's stew tonight!" Kaori yelled from the kitchen and he nodded. He reached their room and knocked before opening the door.

"Mama!" Shiori squealed before jumping out of her dad's arms and ran to the bed.

"Hey baby!" Kagome coo'd and opened her arms wide for her daughter's hug. Inuyasha could already feel Kagome's mood lighten. She was feeling better.

"How are you feeling?" Shiori asked.

"I'm alright. A little bored though." Kagome scrunched her nose.

"Do you wanna play? I could play with you?" Shiori beamed.

"Really? Would you? I'd love that!" Kagome squealed. Not two seconds passed before the girl ran out and to her room to find something to play with Kagome with.

"You're home?" Kagome smiled up at him. He was still standing at the door, watching her. He felt her mood lighten much more when she looked up and saw him. It made him feel better.

"Yea. I thought you might have wanted to spend some time with her." He gestured towards the little girl who was now running back into the room with a ton of dolls and stuffed animals in her tiny arms. Losing some along the way to the floor.

"Mama, look! I brought Yuri, Tina, Eric, and Kumi. We can play with them!" She smiled and Kagome smiled with her. Inuyasha let the girls play while he went in for a small shower and changed. All the while still paying attention to Kagome's emotions. She seemed at ease with Shiori around. When he came out was when Kaori called for dinner. Inuyasha took Shiori to eat downstairs with everyone while Inuyasha brought Kagome and his own food upstairs.

"You're eating up here?" She asked when he made himself comfortable next to her.

"Yup. Got a problem with it?"

"You usually eat downstairs with everyone.. I just-"

"Felt like eating with you today. That's all. You're always up here by yourself. Haven't been able to properly piss you off for a while now. Here's my chance." He smirked before a pillow hit his face.

"Shut up and eat. And don't you dare make a mess because only I know how to change these sheets. And I am currently incapable of doing anything, according to you." She glared.

"It's fine. Our mothers are downstairs so- ow!" They kept on the little bickering as they ate together. He turned on the tv and they flicked through HBO movies and so on. He could feel that she was alright. But when it was time to put the kids to bed and their families to go home, he felt it. Her mood changed. She became anxious.

"Are they in bed?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha came back to the room. Kagome had a few candles on and the tv off already. She was laying down but he could tell she was tense. She didn't want to go to sleep.

"Yea. Ready for bed?" He asked, hopping into bed, laying next to her.

"Mhmm." He never noticed her acting like this before bed. Maybe it was because he had just thought that she was weak and sick. But knowing that it was something else now, he saw everything. She was shivering but trying to keep it in. Her heart had a little race to it but again, she was working to control her body. He moved over to give her a soft and slow kiss on the cheek before getting comfortable. He put his arm over hers, around her waist and pulled her closer to his body. She relaxed a little.

Within the next twenty minutes, she was actually asleep. He felt her body go slack and her breathing and heartrate steady. He almost thought she was perfectly fine but he needed time to prove that. So he did what Yura said. He watched. For about an hour only her leg twitched a few times. She moved in closer to his body which he liked but that was it. He was about to knock out from seeing nothing before he heard it. Her heart started to beat faster again. She began to shift her legs up and down as if they were in pain.

Her face was scrunching up and she started to make small sounds in her sleep. She was moving around as if he weren't there. He sat up quickly. She had a thin layer of sweat over her brow line. It looked as if she was about to cry in her sleep.

"Kagome?" He nudged her a little. "Gome?" He did it again. Nothing. He waited and then a few minutes later her eyes popped open and her head shot above her pillow. She was trying to breathe. He grabbed her body and pulled her too him.

"Kagome? Are you alright?" He asked but she couldn't form any answers. She just wrapped her arms around his around her waist and held on for dear life. As if he'd disappear at any moment.

"Kagome? What am I going to do with you…" He whispered before he began to kiss her temple over and over trying to calm her down and stop her from crying.
