Kagome glanced up at the man holding her. He was looking ahead as he gracefully glided his way to the West. But when he came to a stop before he reached where they were going, she looked away. Sesshomaru stood in his father's path.
"Father,"
"Not now, Sesshomaru; the woman and pup need warmth and food," He said in his deep voice. Sesshomaru just stood there with arms crossed. He was looking from his father to Kagome.
"Do you plan to stop me, Sesshomaru?"
He said nothing as he stepped aside. Father, how is it that you are here? It matters not, for I shall now defeat you and get the power I seek!
He followed his father with the same grace. Kagome was still blushing, hearing his voice; it was also strong, filled with love, it seemed.
"Do not worry, little one; you and the pup will be fine." He said, now looking down at her.
She gave a faint smile. "Thank you," she whispered; she was not so scared anymore. How could a girl be scared in his arms?
Kami what am I thinking, this is Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father! But it's hard not to blush; he is beautiful!
She came out of her girly thoughts when she felt him slow down again. She heard people yelling, and a castle bridge came down, letting them in the castle walls. Inu Taisho kicked in the castle door, not having a free arm to open it with, and walked down the hall. Everyone bowed and gasped as he made his way; none of them could believe that their great Lord had returned. He found a lady in waiting and looked at her.
"Get Lord Sesshomaru's room ready for the company of a woman,"
"Umm, about that," Kagome started but didn't finish because Inu Taisho was now looking at her. "You bear his son, do you not?"
"Um yes, My Lord," She thought it a good idea to use his worthy title.
"Then you shall share a room with him."
She felt uneasy, hoping Sesshomaru would jump in at any time. Lucky for her, he did.
"I will not share a room with her," He said,
Inu Taisho turned to look at him, still holding her.
"You made love to her did you not?" Being bold in his words. Kagome was now shutting her eyes tight, she wanted to die, and her cheeks were blood red.
"Do not be a fool, father."
"Do you dare tell me that you did not make love to her?"
Kami, please just take me now; here are two men talking about my sex life, NOT LOVE LIFE, MIGHT I ADD!
Kagome was now wishing he would put her down.
"I laid with the woman, nothing more," Sesshomaru stated.
Inu Taisho walked to his son and held Kagome out to him. Sesshomaru just looked at his father.
"Take her to YOUR room,"
Sesshomaru now with his arms at his sides, kept looking at his father.
"Take her son, or shall I drop her at your feet." He stated
Sesshomaru still did not move to take her, daring his father to drop her, and that's just what he did. She closed her eyes, waiting for the impact, but nothing. She opened her eyes to see Sesshomaru was now holding her.
He pulled her up to his chest, and both Kagome and Sesshomary glared at the man.
Why that jerk is smiling!!! Kagome was a bit mad at the now-not-dead Lord of the West. The lady in waiting came back and bowed.
"Lord Sesshoamru, your room is ready; Lord Inu Taisho, your old room is also ready."
"Wonderful!" Inu Taisho said, "Bring a plate of food for the Lady; I'm sure she is hungry."
Sesshomaru growled, "Father,"
"Take her to your room and let her rest, then we will talk."
That would do for now; he would take care of her in the presence of his room later.
He came to his door, and the Lady in waiting opened it. Once inside, he kicked the door shut. Kagome thought he would put her down or drop her on the bed. He didn't put her down but moved to the bed and placed her in it. It was so soft and warm, and oddly, he was gentle for once.
He stood up and tried not to look at her belly, but he could not help it. It was his first child and a full-blooded demon, not a half-breed. He would ask her about it later.
"Sesshomaru," She asked in a low tone.
"I have a title woman; use it."
"I have a name use it!" She snapped back.
"I did not ask for you to be the mother of my child,"
"Are you serious right now!!" She yelled at him.
He growled,
"What did you think would happen!" She snapped,
"I do not recall you complaining at the time woman,"
She crossed her arms, "You're a smart man, surely you know how a baby is made,"
He narrowed his eyes and she unfolded her arms, "Wait you do right?"
"Of course I do woman," He snapped,
"Then why are you surprised,"
"I was unsure if my seed would even take in your womb,"
"Well, it was a chance you took mister,"
He smirked, "Again, you were not complaining,"
"Your not a man that takes risk," She said,
"Not in this, no,"
"Then why me!?"
A knock at the door was his save. The lady in waiting walked in with food.
"Hear you are my Lady; I hope it is to your liking."
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry." She took in a shaky breath and turned to her side.
"You will eat; my pup needs food," He said forcefully.
The lady in waiting just stood there, watching. Everyone in the castle knew about her and the pup now; word traveled fast. Not wanting her Lord to be angry and to lash out at the girl, the woman asked Kagome a question.
"My lady, is there anything that I could bring you that you would eat?" Kagome knew the woman was speaking out of line; she didn't want her to be in trouble, as she thought she would be when she heard a growl from Sesshomaru.
"No, this food is just fine, thank you," Kagome said as she sat up to accept it.
"After you eat, My Lady, would you desire a warm bath?"
Kagome loved the sound of that! "Oh yes, that sounds great!"
"Very well, my Lady,"
"Woman, there is no need to call her by such a title; she is not the Lady of this house." Both women looked at him, Kagome's hand halfway to her mouth.
"My Lord?" The woman asked, confused. Was this woman not the mother of his child?
"I withdraw my last statement," With that, Sesshomaru walked out, slamming the door.
Now for you, dear father...
