Chapter 13


Meet the family, Inuyasha’s Dilemma, A Feeling of Completion

“Thanks for meeting me here at Sesshomaru’s office again, Kagura,” Kagome apologized. “I know you don’t like coming here, but he will be at least tolerable; I promise.”

Kagura gave Kagome a skeptical look. “If you say so.” In the three weeks that they had gotten to know each other, they had grown quite close. At their first meeting, Kagura had no idea that Kagome meant being ‘friends’ in the truest sense of the word. “But why here again... I thought you wanted to go to lunch.”

Kagome blushed. “We’re still going, but something came up and I got ‘held up’ in Sesshomaru’s office.”

“Held up, huh?” Kagura’s skeptical look turned into one of utter amusement. “Sure, I bet you ‘held’ those legs up real high for him, Kagome.” Kagome looked so flustered at the comment, that Kagura ALMOST felt sorry for her. Still, that did not stop the teasing. Finally she got tired of riling the poor girl, so she grabbed her by the arm and started to drag her out of the building. “Come, Kagome, those reservations aren’t going to wait forever.”

“Wait!” Kagome shouted. “Before we go, I wanted to ask you if it is okay for a friend of mine to join us. I think you two will get along well.” Despite your history, she thought dryly.

Kagura looked thoughtful. “That’s fine with me.”

“Okay,” she smiled. “I have to warn you though; she’s pregnant and extremely moody,” Kagome said as she dragged Kagura to the elevator.

………………

Sango tapped her chubby fingers on the table impatiently. Kagome and this friend of hers were supposed to be here about ten minutes ago, and she was becoming increasingly HUNGRY! “Damn!” Sango cursed aloud. Forget waiting on Kagome, she thought, I’m ordering now. “Waiter!!”

When Kagome and Kagura entered the café, they were told that the first guest was already seated, so together the walked right up to the table. There, they saw Sango going at it.

“Sango, I see that you decided not to wait for us,” Kagome teased.

Sango snorted and stuffed her mouth with some of the crab cake on the plate. “Damn right! You should have hauled asses to get here, then I wouldn’t have had to start without you.”

Kagura spotted Sango as soon as they arrived and groaned. She should have known that Kagome would make friends with Sesshomaru’s bitchy assistant, but then she heard Sango’s reply to Kagome’s teasing. As soon as the words came out of Sango’s mouth, Kagura could tell that she and this woman would get along nicely. Though she had had many trips up to Sesshomaru’s office, she never knew that this woman had a personality like this. “I’m sorry to interrupt, let’s get the formalities over with so we can eat.” Kagura threw Kagome a mischievous smile. “I’m sure Kagome is hungry as well.” She bowed slightly. “Hello, I’m Kagura Naraku.”

Sango was hard pressed to keep all of her food into her mouth when she noticed the woman standing behind Kagome. She was far from stupid and couldn’t believe that this bitch would hang out with Kagome. “I know who you are, but why are you with Kagome?” she asked casually.

“Sango!” Kagome censured. “Be nice, Kagura is Kanna’s mother!” she said as they both took a seat.

This time, Sango really spit her food out. Though she had baby-sat the little girl along with Rin numerous times for Kagome, Sango never knew that she was the spawn of the parents from hell. Kanna never displayed any horrible habits. “Oh! Well, you have a very sweet little girl.”

“Look, I know that you think I’m trying to take advantage of my situation, but I’m not.” Kagura felt like she needed to set the record straight. Sure, her record with Sesshomaru was not spotless. In fact, she tried to get into his bed several times; even after she met and married Naraku. “I have discovered a friend in Kagome and I hope that you can be considered one as well.”

“Please Sango, for me,” Kagome pleaded. “Plus I have something to tell you if you agree.”

Sango thought for a moment. Kagome was usually a good judge of character, so she decided to go along with it and trust her. “Alright. Now tell me what you are so excited about.

Kagome let out a squeal of pure glee. “I’m pregnant, Sango!”

She would have hugged Kagome if it wasn’t such a hassle to get up. Instead, she settled for a simple congratulation. “I’m so happy for you, Kagome! I bet Sesshomaru nearly had a heart attack when you told him.”

Kagome’s large smile faltered a little bit, and the other two women noticed the reaction.

“What!”

“You mean you haven’t told him yet, Kagome?”

Kagome gave both of the women a sheepish look. “Well, no. I just…”

“Kagome, Sesshomaru is a demon. I’m sure he knows by now and is just waiting for you to say something,” Kagura explained.

“What do you mean?”

“Demons, especially Sesshomaru, can detect pregnancy in people’s scents,” Sango explained. “He is a dog demon, so he has more than likely known for some time now,” she further enlighten her friend.

Kagome slapped her forehead. If what they say was true, then Sesshomaru must thought she was a horrible person for not telling him right away. “Oh no… why didn’t he say anything?”

Kagura shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know, but I know he won’t tell anyone until you tell him; even if the person can smell it on you, he won’t tell them.”

Taking a deep sigh, Kagome decided on her plan of action, by morning Sesshomaru would know of his status as a new father. “So, girls, I also wanted to talk about my wedding party. Sesshomaru and I have decided to have a small ceremony. That means I need one of you to be the maid of honor.”

Sango started shaking her head vigorously while Kagura got a certain gleam in her eyes.

sssssssssss

Sesshomaru couldn’t believe Kagome would wait so late to come back home. Wait... yes, she would. The woman had no concept of time. While waiting, Sesshomaru decided to pace the bedroom a few minutes more. Tonight, he would confront Kagome about her pregnancy. Why… one might ask… Well, the remainder of his family would be coming for a visit tomorrow and they would surely notice Kagome’s delicate condition.

Just before Sesshomaru lost his patience for the second time that night, Kagome walked through the door with a huge smile on her face. “Hello, Sessho… why the long face?”

He had a half of mind to growl at Kagome. Lately, her moods have been changing with the wind. “Woman, we need to talk.”

Kagome gave Sesshomaru the ‘are you okay’ look and sat down on the bed. “You’re right, but let me go first.”

Sesshomaru nodded and Kagome continued.

“I had a very informative lunch with Sango and Kagura today.” Kagome was lost. She had seen many women on TV just blurt out their conditions to their husband or boyfriends, but that seemed a little childish to her. Kagome wanted to approach the situation like an adult, but it’s difficult. Up until a few hours ago, she never realized the age or species difference between Sesshomaru and herself. Then she started to think about what that meant in relation to the child she now carried. Sesshomaru just kept staring, so she continued. “Anyway… your mother mentioned something to me today about a cousin coming over? Do you know what she was talking about?” Damn, why can’t I just say it, Kagome’s inner mind screamed.

“Kagome, you are not here to talk about your future relatives. Tell me what really plagues your mind,” Sesshomaru coaxed.

She took a deep breath and released it. “I’m pregnant,” Kagome said using her softest voice.

“Excuse me,” Sesshomaru asked while slowly walking over to her. “Repeat that, please.”

“I don’t repeat myself, Sessho. You should have listened the first time.”

“Indeed.” Sesshomaru slowly pushed Kagome back on to the bed, sat down beside her, placed his head on her belly. “I’ve known for some time now, and I’ve wished for this day for a long time.”

“Oh, Sesshomaru,” Kagome sobbed. “I wanted to wait to tell you, and then it occurred to me today that you might already know. So many things have been going through my head lately.”

Sesshomaru slowly changed positions so he could lay with Kagome wrapped in his arms. “I know, Love. We all have troubles.”

“What troubles you, Sesshomaru?”

“Your condition. I have often wondered about your health while you are away from me. It’s rather needless to say that you will not be working anymore.” Kagome began to glare, but he cut her off with a frosty glare. “I am also having some political trouble.”

Momentarily forgetting about Sesshomaru’s order of her not working, Kagome consoled her husband. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and relished the touch. “My mother’s cousin, the emperor, says that he will nominate me to take his place. If this situation would have happened a year ago, I would have been happy. Right now, the offer is not welcomed. If I am chosen, in the coming years, the position would take up much of my time... time that I would rather devote to our growing family.”

“We will be fine, Sessho… I will stand by your side no matter what happens.” Kagome began to sit up. “Now, as for me not working, I will continue. Maybe not dancing, but I need to work to support my mother and brother.”

“Kami, Kagome, why do you insist on making the situation hard? Tell me, Love, why do you need to work when I have billions at my personal disposal?” Point one for Sesshomaru.

“Well, I…”

“Your mother needn’t worry about land taxes, seeing as she is now the mother of the Lady of this domain. The house and shrine bills will be paid by her new son, should she accept me as such.” Another point for Sesshomaru.

“But, I…”

“Not to mention, you will be busy raising all of the children that we WILL have, so work will be out of the question for some time.”

Kagome look a bit flustered. “What do you mean by ‘all of the children’, Sesshomaru. We have two now and a third one on the way. How many more do you want?”

“Good question,” Sesshomaru replied as he pulled Kagome back down onto the bed to cuddle. “Though we have Rin and Shippo, I’ve always wanted five children but I will settle for four of my lineage and two adopted children. Remember, I know what it is like to live in a house without laughter. My children will not live in the same circumstances. Therefore, we will stop at six children.”

“Sesshomaru!! You are aware that birthing a child hurts! And what about the stress it will put on my body!” Kagome yelled. She has seen women that had had TOO many kids and the sight was not a pretty one. Kagome once met a woman in the shopping center that said she had fifteen children and that poor woman had the shape to prove it. She was built up like a side of mashed potatoes with legs!

“I am well aware of the stresses, Kagome, but as you once said... ‘women ARE the stronger of the two sexes in any species’. So you will do just fine with the right food and exercise.” Yet another point for Sesshomaru.

By this time Kagome was ready to blow her top! Sesshomaru, however, had a different idea.

“Now, Kagome, you are wasting a lot of energy being upset like this. You have a long day tomorrow, so why don’t we get some rest?” Instead of just laying back, Sesshomaru insisted they stripped down and got to bed.

………………

Sesshomaru walked all through the house looking for Kagome because while taking to her, it had slipped his mind to tell Kagome about his family meeting today. Oh! There’s another reason too, he’d become quite accustomed to their mid-day fucking, so his cock was twitching painfully in his pants. Sesshomaru went up to their bedroom and memories of the morning’s activities came rushing back to him… He was in the middle of one hell of a wet dream when the sensations suddenly became real. He cracked one eye open only to find Kagome already working on his morning wood. What a way to wake up, right? What more could any man ask for? Well, Sesshomaru knew exactly what to say. He sat up slightly to see Kagome’s head bobbing up and down his fully erect cock and said, “Ride me.”

In one fluid motion, they changed positions and she began to ride him like no tomorrow. While Sesshomaru’s hands were busy with Kagome’s hips, his eyes watched the up and down motion of her breasts. They called out to him and begged to be tasted, so he did.

Coming back to reality, Sesshomaru shook his head lightly. That kind of thinking would only hinder his plans for today. He briskly walked away from the bedroom and into his study, where he found his elusive Kagome. “Kagome,” Sesshomaru called. He noticed that she’d been in deep thought very frequently as of late.

Kagome looked up into Sesshomaru’s face. “Hmm?”

He sat down beside his love. “Is something bothering you, Love?” Sesshomaru asked gently.

“No, just thinking.”

Sesshomaru nodded, and they both sat down in total silence for a moment.

“So, what did you need?” Kagome inquired.

“Hn, I need many things... but Mother…” Sesshomaru stood up and stretched his long limbs. “She would like to have a talk with us. Then I have some news for the both of you.”

“Oh.” As soon as Sesshomaru sat back down Naoko walked into the study and sat across the sofa from the couple. “Naoko, good afternoon.”

The woman glared at the quiet couple. This was the first time in a week that they have been this silent. Naoko sighed heavily, she hated to do this, but someone had to have a talk with them. “Good afternoon to you too, and you as well, Sesshomaru.”

“Mother, what is so important that we both need to hear it?”

Naoko closed her eyes. Never did she think that this day would come. “I need to speak to BOTH of you about properly showing your affections.”

Kagome gasp in horror. Though Naoko said it nicely, the words still made the room grow awkward. How embarrassing, thought Kagome. She knew exactly where this was going. “Our affections?” she repeated weakly.

“Yes, in case the two of you haven’t noticed, your love making has been rather loud.” Naoko brushed an imaginary speck of dust off of her kimono. Then she continued, while trying to sound as if she were not embarrassed as well, “For almost a week now, the occupants of this household have heard nothing but your constant moaning and ‘sailor language’.” She pointed an accusatory finger at them. “It has to stop! Everyone is down right sick of hearing it. The servants don’t need to hear about how good your sex is, and the children’s innocent minds are in jeopardy with all of those foul words you are spouting!”

Sesshomaru, stayed calm and in control while Kagome buried her face into her hands. Oh Kami, she thought, no wonder they have been staring at me lately! After a moment, Kagome looked up. “I’m so sorry! We will fix the ‘problem’.”

“No.”

Both women turned towards Sesshomaru, who now wore a smirk on his face. “What?” they yelled in unison.

Sesshomaru reclined slightly. “I said no. We will not accommodate YOUR servants, Kagome. I am the Lord of this house and this domain. They will hear it and ignore it,” he said arrogantly. It’s not everyday a man could get his wife to moan loud enough to disturb a three story home.

“And the children, Sesshomaru? What about them?” Kagome asked worriedly.

He smiled a rare smile. “Don’t worry, Love. We will not corrupt our children.” With that, Sesshomaru sat up and gave his mother a folded letter. “Read that, Mother.”

Naoko took the paper, read it, and smiled. Really, her cousin did not have to do such things for her son, but it was appreciated none the less. “When is it?”

Sesshomaru shrugged. “I don’t know; I was to inform you and Kagome that there is a family meeting today, but it slipped my mind. Sorry.”

“They all must be dying to meet Kagome!” Naoko added excitedly.

While the conversation continued on, Kagome looked at the pair in confusion. Apparently, she has been left out of the loop.

“Indeed,” Sesshomaru replied. “Ako has already seen her perform.”

“Hold up,” Kagome commanded. “Just what are you two talking about?”

Naoko smiled and passed Kagome the paper.

“This is a draft of the wedding arrangement between the Noromu and Higurashi families… Ceremony and Ball to be held on…… hosted by Lord Emperor Akemaru Ako.” Kagome stopped reading and looked at Sesshomaru. “The rest is blank?”

Sesshomaru decided to wait a moment before answering. Kagome obviously didn’t understand what the paper meant. He silently started counting in his head.

Sure enough, moments later Kagome’s brain kicked into high gear. “Wait! I thought we were going to do a small family thing,” she fumed. “Who gave him permission to do this!” Kagome spouted hotly.

Naoko excused herself to go get ready and Sesshomaru closed his eyes as Kagome continued to rant. Telling her that they didn’t have a choice in the matter wouldn’t serve any purpose at this point, so he just decided to listen.

sssssssssss

Inuyasha slapped his forehead. There had to be a better way to do this. “What are we going to do today, Uncle Inuyasha?” Rin asked excitedly. She had never been anywhere alone with Inuyasha before, so when he came by and asked Kagome if she wanted him to baby sit, Rin got over excited.

Inuyasha groaned. There had to be a better way to meet with Kagura. Unfortunately, there wasn’t one at the moment. He had no idea as to how to appease a little girl. “You don’t have any toys at my house, do you, Rin?”

Rin shook her head. “No. We’ve never been to your house,” she replied. “Shippo said that we haven’t been there because you have large roaches. And daddy said that you are too stupid to visit,” Rin added.

“Is that right?” Inuyasha asked. He felt his left eye starting to twitch slightly. Too stupid, huh, he thought. Inuyasha also thought about denying the accusation about the large roaches, but that Bitch Kikyo was a rather large pest. “Feh, that asshole father of yours is the real moron. Anyway let’s go get you and Shippo a toy then I have a surprise, okay.”

“Okay.”

An hour later, they emerged from the toy store. Inuyasha didn’t know the do’s and don’ts of taking a child in a toy store, so he ended up walking out of the store with many toys instead of just one. With the toys loaded into the car, they headed to the nearest park.

Kagura watched her daughter play. Either she was getting older and more mature or the world was slowly coming to an end. In either case, Kagura never thought she would see the day when she was no longer interested in material things. As she watched Kanna swing, all she wanted was to keep her daughter happy. If she stayed with Naraku that would never happen. Kanna would grow up and turn into a hateful woman.

“Hey, whatcha looking all gloomy for?” Inuyasha and Rin walked up to a rather grim looking Kagura. Inuyasha let Rin join Kanna while he sat next to the troubled beauty. “Not that I care, but what’s up?”

Kagura turned her head towards the playing little girls. “Just thinking about the future.” She shook the thought out of her mind. “So what did you do with the information that I gave you?”

It was Inuyasha’s turn to look thoughtful. “Keh, I tossed the Bitch out of the house. I can do better.” He reclined slightly on the park bench. “Is there anything else you can tell me?”

“I can tell you many things,” Kagura stated. “But…”

They both feel silent.

“I need a favor,” Kagura asked suddenly.

“Look, if it’s about moving into my brother’s domain then there is not much I can do,” Inuyasha explained. “Maybe you should talk to Kagome about this?”

“No.”

“Why?”

Kagura looked at the children playing again. “I can’t burden her with this. Sesshomaru would accuse me of trying to use her and she has her own life to deal with right now.” The look on Inuyasha’s face told her that he knew about Kagome’s situation and was at least thinking about her words. Plus, she would only be placing Kagome in more danger than she was already in. “Please, you owe me. Do you think Naraku will continue to let me tell you his secrets?” Kagura asked, and answered before Inuyasha could open his mouth, “No! He will kill me and Kanna for my betrayal!”

The sound of Kagura begging didn’t sound right in Inuyasha’s ears. Things with Naraku must have gotten really bad if she was reduced to begging HIM for help. Inuyasha also realized that he, in fact, did owe Kagura. Without her help, he would still be trying to work things out with that wretched wife of his. “Fine.” He folded his arms across his chest. “But it will take some time…” Before he could finish, Inuyasha found himself in a warm embrace.

“Thank you,” Kagura said as she hugged Inuyasha. “You are the only person that will help me.” With that weight off her shoulders, Kagura turned to Inuyasha and asked another question that had been on her mind. “So who will be the next lucky lady in your life?”

“I had my sights on someone for a long time but ‘Ass Master 2000’ took her from me.”

“I take it, you mean Sesshomaru and the ‘her’ your referring to is Kagome?” Kagura clarified. “Interesting, Kagome referred to you as her first ‘silver haired stalker' when we last talked.”

“What!?”

“Indeed. You really made a lasting impression on my new friend,” Kagura retorted. She turned her head to look at her daughter once more while Inuyasha raved on about not being a stalker. Now she had to prepare for whatever came next.

…………………

After a fun filled day of playing at the park, Inuyasha announced that it was finally time to get Shippo from his friend’s house. At first, he was not looking forward to the task, but now, he couldn’t wait to pick the little brat up.

Roaches, huh, Inuyasha thought. Well he would show the spoiled runt roaches, plenty of them. Instead of heading straight towards the little boy’s home where Shippo was, Inuyasha made a left instead, heading toward the nearest pet store.

“Uncle Inuyasha, I thought we were going to get Shippo?” Rin asked puzzled.

“Sure, we’re going. But I need to stop and get something for your brother. We wouldn’t want the brat to be disappointed once he saw my house, right?” Inuyasha replied, winking at the little girl.

Rin winked back, and Inuyasha suddenly realized why Sesshomaru took to her so easily. It made him long for a family of his own.

Another hour later, the trio walked into Inuyasha’s home. Rin made herself right at home while Shippo was a bit hesitant. Actually, he was really looking for those roaches that he told Rin about.

Being with Kikyo all those years did two things for him as a person. One, he became a very good cook. Two, he developed a taste for cruel jokes. Inuyasha would put both skills to work on each child tonight. It seemed a little cruel, but while the children explored his house, Inuyasha prepared two meals.

“Oi, chow time!”

“Really!” Rin skipped to the dinning room. “You cooked for us, too, uncle Inuyasha?” she asked hopefully.

“Of course, sweetheart...” Inuyasha cooed in a mock sweetness. “After all of those meals your mom fixed for me, it is the least I can do.”

Shippo eyed Inuyasha warily. “I don’t think we should eat it. It might be mud and worms or something worse.”

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at Shippo. “Whatever, runt, insult my cooking all you want.” He disappeared into the kitchen and came out with the first plate, some type of salmon pasta dish that looked both beautiful and mouth watering. “Eat up, Rin.” Inuyasha threw Shippo and evil smirk as he went to get the second plate. The little brat was acting too much like Sesshomaru; it’s time to bring him down a notch or two. “Tell me, Shippo, have you seen any roaches around my house?” He placed the second plate at the spot where HE was sitting.

“No,” Shippo replied a bit uneasily.

“Huh… I wonder they all went to?” Inuyasha said as he wandered back into the kitchen and returned with a covered plate. “Didn’t want YOUR food to get cold, Shippo.” He sat the food down in front of the boy and took a seat as well. “Okay, eat up.”

Shippo automatically knew something was wrong with the plate. How? Well, for starters, the cover was MOVING! “Inuyasha, what is this?”

“Dinner, Shippo, eat up,” Inuyasha replied. Seeing that the boy wouldn’t uncover the surprise, Inuyasha did instead.

A big ass roach crawled off Shippo’s plate, and Rin fell sideways, anime style, out of her chair, giggling like a mad woman. Shippo just sat there horrified at the sight. Inuyasha just paid him back, in full, for every prank that he had ever done.

Inuyasha smiled at Shippo while taking some of the pasta into his mouth. “Payback is a bitch, heh, Shippo?”

sssssssssss

As soon as Kagome cooled down and collected herself, she prepared to meet the rest of Sesshomaru’s family. To say the least, she was shocked to see that he had more family outside of Inuyasha and Naoko, and was even more floored to find out that they acted nothing like him.

The rest of Sesshomaru’s family consisted of Naoko’s brother and first cousin and their families. Well… one of them had a family and the other one was just married with no kids. Kagome was also surprised to discover that the current emperor was Naoko’s cousin and Sesshomaru’s guardian. That bit of insight… made a lot of things start to fit into place. Like why he wanted Sesshomaru to have an even more secure position in life and why he spied on her at work!!

While talking to the family, Kagome also, possibly, discovered the reason why Sesshomaru wanted so many children. Well… for the lack of a better sentence, these people were a family of only children, who had only one child, two at the most whose ages were far and in-between. Therefore their childhoods were… lonely and horrible. Either there was no one to play with or their sibling was too old to play with. Still, Sesshomaru was not an only child, but his mother’s family treated him like one because they refuse to acknowledge Inuyasha.

Even now, as the conversation continued, Kagome was learning something new about the man… demon that she will spend the rest of her life with.

“HAHAHAHAHA!!” Ako burst into a hearty laugh. “Honestly, Kagome-chan, you are far too open for my little Sesshomaru.”

Sesshomaru shot Ako a reproachful glare for the endearment in the hope that it would stop, but it was all in vain.

“Indeed, Kagome,” Katusuma, Naoko’s brother, agreed.

He and Naoko’s ages were so far apart it was ludicrous. His childhood had been one like Sesshomaru’s... lonely. The age difference between him and Sesshomaru, Kagome learned, was a mere ten years!!! So Sesshomaru was more of a play mate to him than his nephew… Kagome began to wonder about the sexual prowess of Sesshomaru’s grandparents… and STOPPED! Kami… her mind was starting to tread in dangerous territory! Anyway…

“When Nao told us that little Sesshomaru had found someone special, we thought that you would be a real closed up bitch!! No offence.”

Sesshomaru growled low in his throat, but it was drowned out by Kagome’s giggles.

“Oh! None taken,” Kagome replied. “To tell you the truth, the first time I met Sessho… I was there to tell him off about my elderly grandfather.”

“Sessho?” Ako and Katsuma both said in confusion.

“Hn… I’ve been hearing that all week…” Naoko said offhandedly.

“Really, why is that?” Ako’s wife, Riza asked.

Kagome blushed madly. “That’s just a shortened version of Sesshomaru’s name that I use. I think it’s cute!”

Everyone, except Sesshomaru, fell out laughing. Sesshomaru felt the fires of rage build up inside of him. How dare they make fun of him?! He stood full height, towering over his sitting guest. “NOTHING ABOUT THE NAME ‘Sesshomaru’ WILL EVER BE CUTE!” Sesshomaru shouted and then took a seat like nothing happened.

Everyone exchange glances. Being familiar with his behavior, no one in the room was effected by the outburst. In fact it only served to add more humor to the situation. “Oh, shut up… SESSHO…” Naoko cooed. “Leave the babying up to the one you two have in Kagome’s womb.”

Everything stopped… and the room grew silent. Sesshomaru cursed his mother and himself. He knew there was something that he forgot to do when they all arrived. It’s a wonder that they hadn’t noticed by now.

Sesshomaru cleared his throat. “We will be expecting our first child soon. And we have already adopted two children.”

Ako, who looked the most upset, asked the question on everyone’s mind. “When were you going to tell us, boy.”

Sesshomaru mentally groaned; he already knew why Ako would be so upset. “Tonight.” Saying that he meant to do it as soon as they got there would serve him no purpose now.

“Where are the children now?” Ayu, Katsuma’s wife, asked.

“Inuyasha, volunteered to keep them tonight,” Sesshomaru answered. “They can be rather demanding of our time, even in the presence of others.”

Kagome giggled. “Tell the truth... you spoil them and you know it.” The mood in the room seemed to lighten up after that, and then followed the congratulations. Kagome decided that being a part of this family would not be so bad, if one could get past all of the formalities. Anyway, she decided to make this an extra special night for all of them. “Excuse me.” Once Kagome had all of their attention, she asked her question. “Tonight will be my last performance for a while, and Sessho and I wanted to know if you all would come and watch. Of course, my family and friends will be there as well,” she added.

Everyone agreed without hesitation and left to their rooms to get ready.

sssssssssss

It didn’t take things long to settle down at Inuyasha’s house after the roach incident. He simply fixed Shippo his real dinner and all became well in the world.

However, he was also aware of Kagome’s performance later tonight and no one was going to make him miss it. As if Sesshomaru read his mind, Jaken showed up on Inuyasha’s door step at about nine pm.

“Just in time, Jaken. I thought I was going to have to leave the kids on someone’s door step or somethin’.”

“What!” Jaken said flustered. “Lord Sesshomaru would surely kill you for such disrespect!”

“Humph! Like I give a damn.” Inuyasha grabbed his keys and headed towards the door. “My house better be spotless when I get return. I can’t afford all those maids like that bastard has.” Actually, Inuyasha could he was just one of the cheapest men a woman could ever meet. It’s no wonder Kikyo cheated to get what she wanted. Inuyasha was just sitting on a huge ass pile of money and would not spend it!

Anyway, after leaving his home, Inuyasha found himself in front of Miroku and Sango’s house. Instead of ringing the door bell like any normal person, he started to bang on it like a mad man. Yes… that got the door open a little faster… but it also got him knocked on the head rather harshly. “Ow… what in the hell was that for?”

“Idiot!” Miroku raged. “Sango is only a week or two from giving birth. SCARING her could cause her to go into labor prematurely!”

“Well, she looks pretty damn calm to me,” said Inuyasha while rubbing his head, and looking at an extremely calm Sango sitting on the couch eating cake.

Miroku threw his hands up in exasperation. There was absolutely no hope for his friend. He took a seat by Sango. “What can we do for you tonight, Inuyasha?”

“I wanted to know if you wanted to see Kagome. She said that she wouldn’t be working for a while after this.”

“I know,” Sango spoke for the first time since Inuyasha entered her house.

Both men looked somewhat shocked. “What?”

“I know,” Sango repeated. “She told me already and promised to tape whatever she did so I could see it.”

“Oh.” Miroku turned to Inuyasha. “I guess I’ll see it then too, I can’t leave Sango here alone.”

“No… you can go, Miroku.” Sango felt a bit sorry for him. Since she was so close to having the damn baby, Miroku had been just as bound to the house as she was and it’s not fair. “I have the phone beside me. Go and have some fun, you can return to your prison later tonight.”

After a few moments of thinking, Inuyasha and Miroku decided that Jaken and the children could stay with Sango until they returned.


sssssssssss

At the club entrance, Kagome met up with the others. Kagome’s mother, Ai, never really approved of Kagome’s profession but did not complain either, it paid the bills on time. Kagome’s brother, Souta, was also there waiting. She had to make Bankotsu an asinine promise, about dedicating a song to him, in order for Souta to get in.

In any case, they were all there and that was all that mattered. Kagome and Ayame planed something special for tonight. As soon as they entered the room, Kagome disappeared into the crowd, so that left Sesshomaru to lead the group.

………………

Naraku had been feeling particularly generous all day so he decided to have a night out with his wife. Kagome actually marrying that shit-for-brains set his plans back quite a bit. Really, there was no point in getting rid of Kagura if he could not yet get the woman that he wanted to replace her with.

They arrived at the club some time after eleven, and the atmosphere was a bit mellow… laid back. Briefly scanning the place, Naraku spotted his most hated rival sitting at the front of the club with what appeared to be his family and, toward the back, he spotted his most recent conquest looking as pitiful as ever. An evil smile crept up onto his face; Naraku had decided who his first prey of tonight would be.

……………

The night that Inuyasha had thrown her out of their home, Kikyo didn’t knew what to think. She had no idea that her affair was that obvious, or that it had come to that point. So she put her contemplating aside and went to the nearest four-star hotel, but all was not well, as she would soon find out in the coming days.

A week after Kikyo arrived; the hotel manager informed her that her debit card was no longer working. This came as a shock to Kikyo and she had to use her personal credit card until the situation got fixed. That same day, Kikyo arrived at the bank. There she found out that Inuyasha took his name and money off of the account they were sharing and that she had long depleted her funds.

Kikyo only had two options now. One, go home to her parents, who would blame her fully for the up coming separation. Two, call Naraku and ask for help until she found a job in her career… the latter of the two looked a lot more promising, but Naraku seemed to have lost interest in her. So she had to find a slightly cheaper place of lodging until she found a solution to her situation.

She almost regretted cheating on Inuyasha this time. He had really made an effort to patch their relationship up, even before that little bitch had decided to marry that bastard brother of his. Well… there was no sense in crying over spilled milk, right?

With that thought in mind, Kikyo made herself presentable and came out for tonight. She had a few goals in mind. A few of which included catching a man or re-catching Inuyasha, either way, she would have someone by the end of the night.

Suddenly Kikyo spotted the illusive figure of Naraku in a corner by the bar. Well… he was not going to get away this time. She marched right up to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, the silly woman didn’t take the time to notice where Naraku’s arm was placed. “Hey, baby, you’ve been hard to find…”

Naraku turned to face the whore with Kagura still in his grasp, tonight and tonight only, he would make Kagura feel like she was the only woman in his life. Naraku threw Kikyo an absolutely malevolent smirk. “Kikyo, Kagura and I were just talking about you.” His hand squeezed Kagura’s hip.

Kagura got the hint and smiled as well. “Indeed, we weren’t aware that Bankotsu still let whores in here,” she said nonchalantly.

Kikyo instantly went pale. How could he… How dared he… That Bastard! She opened her mouth to retort, but Naraku cut her off.

“No thank you. The invitation for a blowjob is tempting, but my wife will not approve.”

Feeling sick and noticing the crowd gathering around them for the first time, Kikyo attempted to flee… but where? The DJ just announced that some show was starting and that the club was packed. Making some quick decisions, she headed toward the front of the club.

………………

When the DJ announced that the performance was about to start, Sesshomaru momentarily got excited. He couldn’t wait to see what Kagome would be wearing. After having a very naughty picture flash to the front of his mind, Sesshomaru decided to look around. When they arrived, everyone decided that they would have more fun if they sat with his mother and that was fine with him, but after looking up just now, Sesshomaru discovered three other people at this unofficial private table. “Why are you here?”

Koga crossed his arms scoffed, “Nice to see you too, Sesshy, but my GIRLFRIEND works here too.”

“Yeah!” Inuyasha added. “Plus Kagome told Miroku and I to sit at the front WITH you.”

Sesshomaru prepared himself for the wave of insults he was about to hurl at the trio, but the music started and he thanked God for the sight before him.


Kagome: I don’t remember feeling like this

Ayame: Baby
Baby I love you
Baby
Baby I love you

Kagome and Ayame stepped out onto the stage looking as delicious as ever. Their long hair flowing, make-up on point, and bad ass dresses to boot. Baby was the song that they decided to sing for this night. It complimented the mood of the club, mellow with a steady beat.

Kagome: I got the jolt forming in my bones

Ayame: For a man

Kagome: Who indeed took over my soul

Ayame: Understand

Kagome: I couldn’t breath if he ever said

Ayame: On ya knees

Kagome: Get on my knees till they bloody red

Ayame: Can you please

Kagome: See I don’t know if you get it yet

Ayame: Just hold on

Kagome: He like a lighter to my cigarette

Ayame: Watch me smoke

Kagome: I never knew another human life

Ayame: Didn’t know

Kagome: Could have the power to take over mine
So baby, baby…

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ayame: Baby I love you

Got me saying…

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ayame: Baby I love you

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby


It didn’t take them all long to figure out that Kagome was singing the main song and Ayame was singing the essential hook. Then Bankotsu stepped out onto the stage but stayed in the far corner, out of the sight of the audience. It became clear to both Ayame and Kagome that this was the song that HE wanted dedicated to him. Humph! They had men sitting and watching them at this very moment. No… they decided in the dressing rooms to throw him a simple ‘Thanks’ at the end.

Kagome: See, I can never fell alone with you

Ayame: In my life

Kagome: I give up everything I own for you

Ayame: Won’t think twice

Kagome: Almost a shame how I mesmerize

Ayame: Such a shame

Kagome: I lose my thought looking in your eyes

Ayame: I know why

Kagome: Because your kisses make my lips quiver

Ayame: And that’s real

Kagome: And when you touch me my whole body shivers

Ayame: I can feel

Kagome: Now I can see how another life

Ayame: Another life

Kagome: Can have the power to take over mine
Cause you’re my….

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ayame: Baby I love you

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Kagome: I love it when I hear your name
Got me saying

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ayame: Baby I love you

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

For the first time in his life, Sesshomaru actually listened to the words of a song and became enthralled with them. He soon realized that Kagome wanted him to sit in the front so that she could sing THIS song TO him. Once he realized this, the act only endeared her to him even more. Sesshomaru also began to muse over Kagome’s true feelings for him, were they actually as strong as the song suggested?

Ayame: Break it down

Kagome: Baby I can’t see my world

Ayame: I can’t see

Kagome: Living here on god’s green earth

Ayame: God

Kagome: You don’t know what you done to me

Ayame: Done to me

Kagome: Never thought I’d need you desperately

Ayame: Desperately

Kagome: It’s kind of sick how I’m stuck on you

Ayame: Stuck on you

Kagome: But I don’t care cause’ I’m needing you

Ayame: Needing you

Kagome: And how I feel with remain the same

Ayame: Remains the same

Kagome: Cause’ you’re my baby

Ayame: Cause’ you’re my baby

Kagome: Listen
And when the world starts to stress me out

Ayame: Where I run

Kagome: Is to you, boy, without a doubt

Ayame: You’re the one

Kagome: Who keeps me sane and I can’t complain

Ayame: Can’t complain

Kagome: You’re like a drug
You relieve my pain

Ayame: It may seem strange

Kagome: You’re like the blood flowing through my veins

Ayame: Ohhhhh

Kagome: Keeps me alive and feeding my brain

Ayame: Ohhhhh

Kagome: Now this is how another human life

Ayame: Another life

Kagome: Could have the power to take over mine
Cause’ you’re my…

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ayame: Baby I love you

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Kagome: I love when I here your name
Got me saying

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby


Ayame: Baby I love you

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ayame: Ohhhh

Kagome: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Ayame: Baby, baby, baby, baby,

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Kagome: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Unison: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

At the end of the song, Kouga’s heart jumped with joy. Though Ayame did not sing the song, he got the general idea.

After that one night at the club, their relationship had progressed nicely and at a faster pace than ol’ frosty’s relationship with Kagome. In fact, that night he told Ayame that he was tired of being alone and was looking for ‘the one’ and that if she wanted a relationship with him, it would be for keeps. Ayame, not being an innocent or a total idiot, jumped on the opportunity.

For weeks now, their relationship has flourished, and tonight Ayame wanted to send Kouga a message. Hopefully, he would get the point.

sssssssssss

Naraku sat at his desk in deep thought again today. His obsession with Kagome had turned into something sick. He knew this, yet he could not stop it. When Kanna hinted at Kagome’s impending marriage to that bastard, Sesshomaru, he wanted nothing more than to beat something senseless, but there was no one around he was willing to touch. Well, there was Kagura, but he refused to beat her that way in front of their child. Not that he had done it before, but the kind of beating he wanted to issue would have sent the poor woman to hell, not to the hospital. Naraku sighed and his cell phone suddenly started to ring. He looked down and couldn’t resist the urge to answer the call. “Hello.”

“Hi, may I speak to Kagura?” Kagome asked politely.

Naraku smiled to himself. He had forgotten that he had forwarded the house’s calls to his phone for the day. “May I ask who this is?” he played stupid.

Kagome rolled her eyes at Naraku’s childish behavior. “Yes, this is Kagome,” she said formally.

“Indeed. Sorry but Kagura is not here. Is there something I can do for YOU, Kagome?” Naraku emphasized.

“No. Not really,” Kagome answered quickly. “May I leave a message for her?”

“Anything for you, my dear,” Naraku said silkily.

Kagome shuddered at the sound of his horrible voice. “In that case, could you tell Kagura to meet me at the bridal shop a day earlier than planned?”

Well, now there was no question about it, Kagome was getting married. He just needed to hear it for himself. Naraku put a tight leash on his emotions so he could finish the rest of the conversation. “You are getting married?” he prodded.

“Yes. Sesshomaru and I are going to make our union official in front of the emperor. We sent you a special invitation since Kagura is taking the place of another friend in the ceremony.” Things got silent for a moment. “Sesshomaru mailed it to you himself,” Kagome added.

Naraku could feel a bitter laugh coming on, but held it in check. “Thank you, Kagome. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I will speak to you later then?”

“Uhh… sure.” Kagome quickly hung up.

Naraku threw his cell phone clear across the room after he hung up. He needed a vent for his growing rage and there was none. That was when his office phone started to ring, the direct line. “Speak!” he answered heatedly.

“Naraku… I need you.”

Grabbing his jacket, Naraku smirked and headed out of the door. His vent just called.

………………

Kikyo sat on the hotel bed, restless. Needless to say, the other night had not at all been successful. She didn’t meet any men, and, on top of that, she had bumped into Inuyasha. Hell must have been hot on her heels that night.

Inuyasha grabbed her roughly by the arm and told her to meet him at a bridal store the next day. He told her that since the divorce wouldn’t be anywhere near final by the time of Sesshomaru’s marriage that she had to participate in the ceremony and dress in the necessary family’s colors. After Kikyo agreed and pulled her arm free, she heard Inuyasha say ‘This will be the last time you’ll bask in the remnants of a great family.’ At those words, her situation came back full force, even more the next day when Inuyasha purchased a dress that cost nearly five thousand American dollars.

She would no longer have that type money at her fingertips for some time. Her housewife’s days would be over if she did not fix this situation. Right now though, she needed a reprieve from her troubles, so she called the only person that could offer her one. Despite his cruelness, he knew how to make a person forget about their problems… but did she really wanted this?

sssssssssss

Kagome’s and Sesshomaru’s ceremony looked like a combination of olden days and the present. Families and clans were identified by the colors that they wore. Sesshomaru’s family wore red and white; whereas Kagome’s family wore two shades of blue.

After a long winded talk from Ako and a reading from a dried up old scroll, the marriage was finally pronounced official. Kagome was now the true Lady of the Western Domain.

It seemed to be a happy day for all, but all was not as it seemed. Actually, there were four very unhappy people.

Naraku, though he had a sickening smile on his face, was walking trough the crowd, damning this wedding to hell. His only satisfaction came in knowing that Sesshomaru would have to open his gift later. Yes… he got that bastard a gift and he got Kagome one as well, a lacy pink teddy that only he will enjoy much later. So he was walking around, mingling with the other, Kagura and Kanna at his side.

Kagura was disturbed in more ways than one. Inuyasha had called to tell her that he may have a temporary solution to her situation, but it involved moving into a temporary home. Inuyasha gave her two weeks to decide... like she needed it! The answer would have been yes and nothing but had Naraku not told her what he did the other night. He strictly warned her about leaving him. Kagura closed her eyes, remembering his word clear as day. ‘Till death do you part, Kagura.’ Naraku said that DEAD was the only way that SHE would leave HIM, thus the dilemma.

Inuyasha decided to stand beside Sesshomaru while Kagome changed. Since she was now officially a Noromu, she needed to change into the family’s colors. Instead of another formal kimono, she chose a Chinese high-neck, sleeveless tunic style evening-gown. Inuyasha sighed as he watched his brother. He envied Sesshomaru. A few years ago, when he married Kikyo, Inuyasha thought that he was on top of the world. Sure… children never really crossed his mind, but now... Hell, surely he should have had a few, for as long as he had been married, right? Then his thoughts turned to Kagura and to her situation. He decided to help, her new personality reminded him of Kagome’s in a way and he felt strangely attracted to her as a result. This new development left him somewhat bewildered, especially after offering Kagura a place to stay.

Kikyo raged inside, not only did Inuyasha ignore her, but he failed to mention that the family members needed evening attire as well! She had to find out on her own the day before, and Inuyasha refused to buy her anything else. Not only that, but THIS much money was not spent on her wedding! Inuyasha is even cheaper than she imagined! Apparently, Sesshomaru spared no expense for his little bitch. Then there was this unspoken split within the family. Though Inuyasha was a Noromu and Sesshomaru’s brother, he was treated differently. Kikyo found out today that in high society’s eyes, her husband was seen as a bastard, the unofficial son of the old western lord and his whore. This made Kikyo seethe even more. Had she known this information in the first place, she would have tried to seduce Sesshomaru all those years ago. Next, her attention turned to Naraku, he was the main reason that she was still in this mood. On the day that she called him, he came very quickly and did as she desired, like old times. However the exchange suddenly took a turn for the worse. Naraku’s movements became rough and when she thought it was over… then came Naraku’s sadistic side. No, he didn’t cruelly beat her or anything… Naraku just did as he liked with her body, saying that something had to relieve his stress. By the time Naraku was finished, Kikyo was washing semen out of her mouth and off of various parts of her body. Hell, Naraku even left sperm in her hair!! He didn’t make her forget her problems, he gave her new ones.

…………………

Today all was well in the life of Sesshomaru. As he and Kagome stood at the front of the reception, he knew that he would be the center of much envy. Not only was he a Lord, but he owned a successful business with masses amounts of land, had a beautiful wife who was going to bear him a child. No man, at this moment, could top the feeling of success that he was having.

Kagome looked over to Sesshomaru and found him to be in deep thought. “Sessho… is something wrong?” she whispered.

Sesshomaru reached for Kagome’s hand and held it tightly. “No, just thinking. So, are you ready to make our announcement? I’m sure my uncle or Ako will if we don’t hurry.”

“But what will people think!?” Kagome blushed madly. “I mean… I did get pregnant before…” She made a motion with her hand. “Before we made this official.”

“Indeed, but remember some of the people here can smell or feel your condition, Kagome. We mated long before today and it would be rude of us to not announce the possibility of my coming heir.”

Kagome blushed again and turned away momentarily. “If you have your way, we will be making this announcement quite often. So why not skip it this time?” she mumbled.

“Consider this practice, Kagome, for all of the other times that we will have to announce the conception and birth of a child, for there will be many.” Sesshomaru smirked down at Kagome and rang a small bell to get everyone’s attention. “Kagome and I would like to thank you all for coming today,” Sesshomaru started inelegantly, but it was understandable. How does one say, even to a crowd of understanding people, that your new wife was already with child?

Inuyasha understood his brother’s problem. “Oi, Sesshomaru, we can we expect to see you with an heir?” he yelled from the back of the room. Inuyasha knew that it was inappropriate to interrupt Sesshomaru, but the man needed help. “You can’t terrorize the west forever!” he joked.

Sesshomaru flashed the crowd an unsettling bright smile and kissed the back of Kagome’s hand. “Kagome and I will be expecting a child in a few months, Inuyasha. Hopefully it will be a boy.” He looked down into Kagome’s raging eyes and amended what he said. “But we will be more than happy with a girl as well.”

Soon the couple was surrounded by congratulators wishing them good health and good health for the child as well. There were even some men stupid enough to approach Kagome with the wish that her child be a male and after physically restraining Kagome from hurting them, the night continued with many consequences.
…………………

If Naraku thought he was angry before, there was nothing to fight the feeling that he was having now. Not even killing Kagura could quell this feeling inside him.

Tonight, what he thought was a misguided fear came back to haunt him full force. Sesshomaru had taken his privilege away from him, has destroyed his only solace, and now Kagome will have to pay a heavy price.

ssssssssssss

It’s been a long week for Kagome.

After all of the guests had left, she and Sesshomaru took the gifts home and started to unwrap them. Everything appeared to be lovely, especially the silk pink teddy that Sesshomaru had unwrapped and gave to her. He refused to tell her who gave them such a lovely gift, but insisted that they make love with her in it on that very night. After that, things got a little messy!! The next morning, Sesshomaru took a package to work, a small box wrapped in postal papers addressed to Naraku.

Instead of going on a honeymoon, she and Sesshomaru decided to wait for the birth of Sango’s baby. Kagome vowed not to miss it and for many reasons. Mainly, Kagome wanted to know what she would have to endure in a few months.

Even now, she could feel the slight swell in her belly. Kagome never noticed before today, but it changed nothing. It only brought home the fact that she was soon going to be a mother too.

…………………

In the confines of his office, Naraku received a package. No address was written on it, but there was a thank you note on the inside. After unwrapping the box and removing the contents, he found a fucked on pink teddy.

…………………

Today Kagome decided to go see Sango at the hospital; the doctor did not like her vitals so he decided to keep her for the remainder of the term which was for about two days. Well, two days if the baby was on time. Anyway, after seeing Sango, Kagome picked up Inuyasha and went to the club to clean out her space. Next, she dropped him off and decided to go to the store before heading home as well.

As Kagome got out of the car, a foreboding feeling entered her mind, but she dismissed it. Strangely, she had to pee a lot! And this feeling seemed to be the cause, so she attributed that to her raging hormones and the coming baby. With that thought, Kagome walked into the store, completely missing the obscure figure following her.
