Make Up Your Mind!!

Sesshoumaru's eyebrows rose as he looked at the friend of his wife, Sango. Leaning back in his chair, he motioned for her to sit. Sango nodded and sat down in a chair across from his desk. For her to be here, it must mean she had something to tell him.



Something about...Kagome.



Sango had a white envelope in her hand as she stared Sesshoumaru bold in the face. Sesshoumaru noticed she glanced at the white envelope in her hands every now and then.



"I am assuming that is for me." he stated more than asked. He could smell the scent of his beautiful Kagome on the paper as well.

Sango nodded, trying to keep the evil smile that threatened to sneak upon her lips. She thought back to only an hour ago when Kagome wrote it.



Flashback



After Kagome was able to calm down some she had moved the 'gifts' -with the help of Sango of course- and thought of how she could communicate with Sesshoumaru without really speaking to him. Finally coming up with an idea, she let Sango know -who had immediately loved the idea- and wrote Sesshoumaru a little letter. To Kagome, Sesshoumaru must have thought a few stuffed animals and flowers would make amends for what he had done. She almost laughed at the thought. He couldn't be serious. After finishing up her letter Kagome asked Sango to drive to Sesshoumaru's office and give it to him personally. It doesn't go through anyone else's hands, but hers. After being given the message, Sango left to make it here where she was now. Face to face with the slim ball himself.



Ending Flashback



Sesshoumaru eyed the envelope and Kagome's lovely scent seemed even stronger than before. Glancing at the woman that has the closest contact with her he asked, "How is she?"



Sango shrugged as she blew up her bangs. "She's fine."



Sesshoumaru nodded as he put his focus back to the white envelope. Seeing that he was no longer paying attention to her, Sango quietly got up and left the building. Sesshoumaru noticed that the woman left and opened the letter and read it. What he read made him annoyed, then amused.



Sesshoumaru,

I bet you thought your gifts would suffice for the things you had done to me and the way you mistreated me. Well, dear sir, you are sadly mistaken.



Sincerely,



Kagome H.

Kagome laughed to herself as she imagined Sesshoumaru's facial expression after reading her sweet little, heart filled letter. Sango had walked in the room when she was in her fit of laughter. Calming herself down, she had Sango fill her in, in what had happened. She wasn't surprised the most when his full attention was on the envelope she had written her. After laughing, at his expense, they grabbed a tub of ice cream, popped a movie in the DVD player, and watched it until they had fallen sleep.

3 Days Later:



Kagome noticed she was getting bigger. After talking to Sango and learning more about her pregnancy, it was normal...the pregnancy at least. Not the child. But she loved it. She loved the being that was growing inside of her. Miroku and Sango both had noticed how protective Kagome was of her child as she went about doing her semi-normal things. Things that she could to without hurting herself or her love that was growing inside of her. Sango and Miroku talked more to Inu Taisho and who had been letting them in on the things Sesshoumaru was planning for his lovely wife. They all agreed that they would not tell Kagome about the things he had in store for her. Inu Taisho had also visited Kagome regularly when he could to check up on her and try to hint to her that she should speak to Sesshoumaru. She ended the conversation with either a sigh, asking him if he wanted something, or starting a new conversation.



Inu Taisho watched Kagome as she wiped her tears away. After both of them had sat down, she had went into detail about how depressed she had been feeling and the old demon had noticed it as well. It surely was not the pregnancy doing it for her, so he guessed it was the little one growing inside of her. He could tell that the pup wanted its father, wanted to smell him, feel him, know that he was there around its mother. The Great Demon knew that Sesshoumaru would have to know sometime and he was getting rather impatient himself. When he had promised that he would not tell his son, he had not thought that she would wait this long to tell the man! His eldest son had also sent Kagome a shit load of flowers, teddy bears, cards, and more things she could not even name to apologize. Kagome would smile and sometimes hug them close to her chest as she silently thanked him...



She was feeling rather lonely sometimes and though it was great that Sango had had her back and has been there for her like a good friend as well as Miroku...She needed someone. She needed him. She had already admitted that she missed him. Hell, she even missed the arguments that they had together. But when she thought back to the things that had happened in the past with their relationship, she turned bitter once again. Inu Taisho had been thankful that he had been there at her time of stress or she would have been stressing her pup as well. Something that would not go well with both parties. Kagome was always feeling distressed or easily irritated and he would not stand for it anymore!



Finally, one day Inu Taisho had had enough and he said, "I will tell him." At that remark, Kagome had stopped her little angry ramblings and stared at him in shock.



"W-what?" she asked as her face fell.



Inu Taisho sighed. This would not go well, her big blue eyes were already tearing up. It was so easy to upset her these days.



"We need to let Sesshoumaru know." he paused as he looked away from her saddened face. Continuing, he said, "He will need to know sometime dear."



Kagome felt the tears run down her cheeks as she shook her head violently. "No! Don't tell him! Please father! I-"



Inu Taisho shook his head and stared at her, his face hard. "I am sorry dear daughter, but this has gone on long enough. Did you seriously plan to give birth to this child, alone, and not tell Sesshoumaru about it?" He asked and when he saw her look away ashamed, he knew the truth.



"You were, weren't you? Oh, Kagome. No." he said softly as he ran his fingers through his hair.



Kagome just sat there with her arms around her stomach protectively. She knew what she was going to do from the beginning. Have the baby and never tell Sesshoumaru about it. Live life with her child and her friends, never having to worry about Sesshoumaru coming after her, going through with the divorce, everything was planned....But now...Sesshoumaru's father was going to let him in on it. Kagome indignation rose. To hell with it! Tell him!



"Tell him." Kagome said calmly as she looked up at her father. Inu Taisho was surprised for his eyebrows rose.



"Tell him?" he asked shocked. Kagome nodded.



"Yes, tell him. Tell him everything...and after you do..tell him to stay the hell away from me." And with that, Kagome hugged him then excused herself and left the room. What surprised him the most was the calm aura around her, no anger or anxiety. Sighing, he knew he couldn't change what he had already decided, so after getting into his awaiting limo, he made the call.



-----



Sesshoumaru was pacing in front of his bed, his eyes on his cell phone. He's been waiting for his father to call him back after his meeting with Kagome. When it finally rang, he practically lunged for it and answered.



"Sesshoumaru, meet me at Sunset Inn. Now." came his father's stressed voice. Sesshoumaru closed his phone and as he walked to his car, he thought of all the reasons why his father could be this way.

7:05 PM



Kagome's Home



Kagome had just finished hanging up with Bankotsu when her door was being banged on. She looked at Sango with an eyebrow raised.



"Who in the hell?" Kagome said as she looked at Sango who only shrugged.



Kagome sighed and shook her head as Sango helped her rise from her chair. Kagome would have asked Sango to answer it for her if it wasn't for the incessant banging on her door. Who on earth could be here banging on her door like that?!



Kagome grew angrier as the banging grew louder. "Hold the hell on would ya!" she yelled angrily. She didn't even ask who the asshole was as she swung open her door. Her eyes narrowed.



"What the he-" Kagome's yell was cut off when soft lips found hers. Her eyes widened measurably and Sango only stood there, her own eyes widened.



-----



Inu Taisho sighed as he stared at the tail end of his sons car. As soon as the word of Kagome's pregnancy left his mouth, Sesshoumaru high-tailed it out of there. He could only wave back at the tail lights of Sesshoumaru's car and went to his own. He warned Sesshoumaru that if he wished to see her not to push himself upon her, it would only lead to something messy. Very messy. A bigger mess than he was already in. But that would not stop Sesshoumaru from getting to her, he didn't say a word as he grabbed his jacket and keys and left the building. He only hoped Kagome would be safe.



-----



Sesshoumaru was on the front porch of his wife's home as the things that his father told him swam through his head. Kagome was pregnant! He was so happy about that fact, but what he wasn't too happy about was her silence about it. He couldn't believe it, she wasn't going to tell, just keep it to herself. Never to let the child know its father. He growled as he started to bang on the door. He didn't have to wait long for someone yelled, 'Hold the hell on would ya!' and opened the door and that someone was Kagome. She opened her mouth and had something he didn't pay any attention to and he quickly silenced her with his mouth. He had noticed Sango was still standing there and he didn't move away from his love's lips as he motioned with his eyes for her to leave. She gulped and shook her head. He narrowed his eyes slightly and that's when she quickly left.



Kagome felt Sesshoumaru somehow slip his tongue inside her mouth and that's when she had enough. Placing her hands upon his chest, she gave him a strong push. He stared at her as he stepped more into the house and closed the door shut behind him. Kagome narrowed her eyes at him when she saw him lick his lips.



"Your father told you, didn't he?" she asked as she took a step away from him.



Sesshoumaru did not answer, he already knew that his father had told her that he was going to tell him... so why answer? His gaze was on her stomach. Inhaling deeply, he almost smiled. That was his pup alright. The pup that she was going to forever keep away from him. His happiness turned to anger when his head snapped up to hers.



"You were not going to tell me." he stated with a growl as he stalked up to her.



Kagome did not back down as she flicked a piece of hair away from her face. Her eyes burned into his as she spoke. "Why should I? I wouldn't like to burden you with my problems." she said coldly as she turned her head away from him.



Kagome felt the tears pricking in her eyes, but she willed them away. She's been strong for a long ass time and she'd be damned if he would be the one to weaken her. Sesshoumaru clenched his own fists as he stared at the stubborn woman in front of him. She thought that she was burden and not just her...but their child as well? He growled at the thought and he saw her shiver. Narrowing his own eyes at her, he did not speak as he quickly embraced her as tight as he could without hurting her. Kagome looked up at him as a lone tear rolled down her cheek. Sesshoumaru was glad that she did not struggle against him and for a few minutes, it was quiet. When he looked down, he saw why. She was sleep against his chest with her arms around his waist. Sighing and smiling faintly, he carefully picked her up and seeing Sango he had her show him to Kagome's room.



He placed Kagome gently upon her bed after he had undressed her with some distraction and after undressing himself, followed after her. He did not hesitate to pull her close to his body as he stayed up and ran his claws through her hair. Yes, tonight was the best night he had ever had. He had Kagome in his arms and a pup on the way. Smiling, he kissed her head and fell asleep himself.
