"Shit!" Kagome yelled as flung the frying pan into the kitchen sink and turned the cold water on. She had been attempting to make bacon but had somehow managed to start a fire in the pan. "Where the hell is my mother when I need her?"

Kara Higurashi had decided to go to America with Han for two months to meet some of his family there. She was due back next month and even though Kagome wouldn't admit it to anyone, she missed her.

Kagome was now three months pregnant and sporting a small bulge in her tummy area. It was easily hidden with loose shirts and sweaters, which made her happy. The only people that knew she was pregnant were Inuyasha, her mother, Sango and Miroku. She wasn't exactly ready to go spreading the news yet.

The only reason she even told Sango and Miroku was because she had moved in with Inuyasha. Sango was upset that Kagome had kept her "relationship" with Inuyasha from her, but forgave her when Kagome said she could be Godmother of the baby. Miroku didn't seem so surprised and even went as far as to ask Inuyasha for details.

Kagome grabbed the now burned pan out the sink, shut off the water and chucked the useless thing in the garbage. She had been trying to teach herself how to cook, but it wasn't exactly working out like she thought it would.

Kagome went to the massive refrigerator and grabbed a yogurt instead. She had a craving for bacon and grits with sugar, but she wouldn't be held responsible for burning down anyone's house. She plopped down at the kitchen table and began eating her strawberry yogurt. She didn't even like strawberry anything.

A frown came over Kagome's face. The child wasn't even out of her yet and already it was changing her. She didn't like it, hell she didn't even like kids!

Kagome was taken away from her thoughts by the sound of the front door opening and closing. She heard footsteps approaching the kitchen, already knowing who it was.

Inuyasha appeared in the doorway. He took a moment to just look at Kagome. She looked absolutely beautiful sitting there with a tank top on, showing her growing stomach and munching on yogurt. He just wished she was as excited as he was about the baby. He understood though, and he knew that with time, she would come around.

"Hey beautiful." He said softly as he approached her. Kagome had grown accustomed to him giving her little pet names. She waved at him and continued eating her yogurt.

Inuyasha sighed and walked over to Kagome loosening his tie and placing it on the counter as he passed by. He kneeled in front of Kagome. She turned her body towards him already knowing what he wanted.

Inuyasha smiled as he lifted her shirt up and began placing small kisses all over the little bulge. She wasn't big yet, but you could definitely tell she was pregnant-if she wasn't hiding behind a sweater or loose shirt.

"Hey baby, daddies home. I closed a big deal today. Know what that means? A shit load of toys for you." Inuyasha said to her stomach. Kagome smirked at his comment.

"Is that the language you really want to teach the kid Yash?" Kagome asked trying to hold back a giggle. She wouldn't admit to anyone-especially him-but she had actually gotten quite attached to Inuyasha since she had moved in. Sure they had a few fights the last month they had lived together and she was sure they would have more, but he was growing on her.

And a part of her liked it.

"He's gonna learn it sooner or later anyway." He defended as he stood up and signaled for her to follow him. Kagome threw her yogurt away and put her spoon in the sink before following him upstairs to his bedroom.

He had given her the room right next to his since she flat out refused to share a bedroom with him. She hadn't even let him touch her intimately since they found out she was pregnant.

She sat down on his bed as he walked into his large closet, looking for something to change into. He really hated suits, but he had to play his part in the world of business and wear one. He picked out a pair of black jeans, a black tank and a red button up-his signature colors for the ultimate sexy look.

He walked out his closet to see Kagome lounging on the bed. He laid his outfit of choice out of the bed next to her. He then kneeled in front of her again and took her hands in his. She looked down into his amber eyes and raised a brow.

"I can sense the baby now, its aura." Inuyasha told her softly. The past month he noticed Kagome's aura shifting and changing, then it seemed to split in two-the baby's aura and her own. Kagome looked at Inuyasha confused.

"I didn't know you could sense its aura." She replied. She had often wondered if he had maybe known before the doctor told them, but figured he didn't since he never mentioned it.

"Yeah, I can. To be honest I should have sensed it before, but for some reason I didn't." The fact that he hadn't sensed that she was pregnant before bothered him immensely, but he didn't want Kagome knowing that.

"It doesn't matter now, I can feel the aura and its getting stronger." He told her as kissed her belly then stood to go into his bathroom.

Kagome could hear the faint sounds of the shower starting and images began popping uncontrollably into her head. Inuyasha naked, water slowly trekking down his toned and muscled body, wet silver hair framing his face. She felt a very familiar feeling in her core and wanted to smack herself.

She was living under the same roof with one of the sexiest men in Japan, and she wasn't having sex with him. What the hell was wrong with her? Kagome noticed her heart was beating erratically and placed a hand over it.

She couldn't have sex with Inuyasha. Not now. Not when she was three months pregnant with his child and living with him. No. It would be too much like a relationship and she wasn't ready for that. Was she? Kagome shook the thoughts out of her head when she heard Inuyasha re-emerging from the bathroom.

She turned to see him step into the room in nothing but a towel around his waist. His hair was wet, just like in her image and there was still water sliding slowly down his chest. She felt a wave of desire go through her and wanted to drop dead when she noticed Inuyasha sniff the air and then smirk at her.

"Anytime, any place baby. Just say the word." He told her as he gathered his boxers from his dresser drawer and began to dress. Kagome adverted her eyes much to his displeasure. He knew why she wouldn't have sex with him and honestly it bothered him to some degree. Before he could go any deeper into his thoughts the doorbell sounded.

Kagome could you get for me? I'll be right down." He asked as he continued to dress. Kagome nodded and headed downstairs.

She opened the front door to see the woman from the party standing there with mid thigh length shorts on and a halter that showed her belly button. She had a wide smile on her face that instantly disappeared once she saw Kagome.

"I wasn't expecting you to be here." Nazuna said to Kagome. Kagome tilted her head to the side and gave Nazuna a smile.

"I could say the same." She wasn't sure why, but she felt a twinge of jealousy and possessiveness. She didn't want this woman around Inuyasha.

"Is Inuyasha here? I need to speak with him, its urgent." Nazuna told her while trying to step in, Kagome effectively blocked her efforts.

"He's busy so you'll have to wait." Kagome told her flashing a evil smirk.

"Are you going to let me in?" Nazuna asked impatiently. The woman was beginning to work her nerves.

"No." Kagome said simply.

Kagome and Nazuna were locked into an intense stare down when Inuyasha finally approached the door.

"Baby, whose at the door?" He asked as he came up next to her. He of course had smelled who it was once he got to the staircase, but wanted to play with her emotions. That's what she got for showing up at his place. He wasn't disappointed in her reaction.

"Yash baby could you please tell your little toy to move out the way so that I could speak with you?" Nazuna said still eyeing Kagome down. Kagome kept the eye contact and raised a brow at the comment. 'I'll show that bitch a toy…'

"One, don't call me Yash or baby. Two, she is not a toy. What do you want Nazuna?" Inuyasha asked already getting irritated by her presence. He needed her gone and fast. He could smell the agitation and anger in Kagome's scent.

"I said I wanted to talk to you."

"So talk then." Inuyasha said crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame. Kagome stood next to him silently seething and plotting ways to gut the woman in front of her.

"I meant in private. Away from her." Nazuna said giving Kagome a disgusted look before turning to Inuyasha with a sexy smile. He always fell for her sexy smile.

He really hated that smile. Inuyasha smirked at Nazuna causing her smile to widen.

"We can talk." He told her earning a heated glare from Kagome. "But I'm afraid that whatever you have to say will have to be said in front of my fiancé."

Kagome looked up at him shocked but didn't utter a word as he slipped his arm around her waist pulling her closer to him. She looked at Nazuna and smiled at the look on face. It was twisted with rage.

"What do you mean fiancé, Inuyasha?" She asked through clenched teeth.

"Are you retarded? I plan on marrying her, how much more obvious could it get." Inuyasha said with an amused look on his face. Why did he sleep with that dingbat?

"That's not possible! I was just with you two months ago. You can't be engaged!" Nazuna yelled at him.

"What can I say? Love works in mysterious ways Nazuna." Inuyasha said while gently pushing Kagome behind him and placing a hand on the door. In that moment however, Nazuna noticed the small bulge in Kagome's stomach. A smirk came to her face.

"You're only marrying her because she's pregnant. You don't love her." Nazuna said with certainty.

"It's true." Inuyasha said as he looked Nazuna in her eye. Kagome felt a bang of heart go through at her and didn't know why. She knew they weren't engaged and they sure as hell didn't love each other. Right?

"It's true she is pregnant, but that's not why I'm marrying her. She's everything to me that you never will be. Stay off of my property Nazuna and stay away from me." Inuyasha attempted to close the door when Nazuna's next words stopped him.

"You will regret that Taisho! I'll make sure of it and that bitch will regret ever meeting you! Her and that bastard child!" Nazuna screamed at him.

No sooner than the words left her mouth, she felt a strong pressure around her neck. Her shocked eyes looked into Inuyasha's red ones. His hand gripped her neck tighter.

"If you ever threaten my mate or my child again I will personally dismember you. Now get the fuck out of here." Inuyasha stated through clenched teeth. He wanted to murder her where she stood, but he wouldn't. Not in front of Kagome. He could already sense her fear already. He shook Nazuna for good measure then pushed her roughly to the ground before slamming his door shut and locking it.

He turned to see a trembling Kagome with one hand covering her mouth and one hand resting on her growing stomach. She was looking at Inuyasha with a look mixed with fear and anger-mostly anger.

"How dare she." She mumbled. He closed the distance between them and inhaled her scent, feeling himself instantly calm at the mixture of her and their child's scents.

"Don't worry about her Kagome. I won't let anything happen to you or the baby. I'll kill her if she even comes near you." Inuyasha reassured her, running his fingers through her raven tresses. It had become a habit of his to play in her hair whenever she got riled up and judging from her scent, Nazuna's little comment pissed her off.

"I may not be happy about having this child, Inuyasha, but I won't let anyone or anything harm it." She said with determination in her voice. She wasn't ready to become a mother, true, but she wouldn't sit back and let someone hurt her child. She would protect her baby at all costs. Give her own life.

Inuyasha stroked her hair a few more times before suggesting they go out for dinner and a movie to cool down. He didn't want her dwelling on the confrontation and stressing herself out. He had known Nazuna awhile and doubted anything that came out of her mouth was anything that he needed to be concerned about.

Kagome went upstairs to shower and change into a flowing green dress that stopped above her knees and matching sandals.

They decided to try out a new sushi place near the mansion. They didn't talk until after a waiter took their orders. Inuyasha reached out and grabbed Kagome's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. She smiled back at him. He could tell something was on her mind and he wanted to know what. He didn't have to wait long to find out.

"Your eyes turned red earlier, why?" She asked timidly. To be blunt it freaked her out a bit. He looked so….vicious when his eyes changed colors. Like a wild beast out for blood.

Inuyasha didn't hesitate to answer. "Demon instinct. I'm only half demon so when myself or my pup for instance gets threatened my demon instincts take over." Kagome looked at him confused.

"Pup?"

"Yeah, its what us dog demons call our offspring. We only say 'baby' to appease you humans." He told her with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Thanks for the mini lesson on demons." Kagome joked and gave him a warm smile. "And thank you for calming me earlier. I wanted to open that door and rip her apart myself."

"Not in your condition you won't." He told her in a serious tone. Kagome noticed and switched the subject.

"So what was up with the engagement thing?" She asked with a raised brow. Inuyasha chuckled nervously.

"Honestly I knew it would piss her off so I said it." He noticed the fire in Kagome's eyes and quickly added. "Not that I wouldn't want to marry you, I would, but I know you don't want that right now…"

Kagome looked at him long and hard before giving a small grin. "So you're saying you would marry me if I wanted?"

"Yes I would." Inuyasha said without hesitation. Kagome stared into his eyes for a few more minutes before sighing and looking away.

"You shouldn't waste your time on senseless notions Inuyasha." She said as soon as their food arrived. Inuyasha didn't respond, he just ate his food and thought silently to himself.

Winning her over would be harder than he thought and he had to wonder if it would even be worth it in the end….
