..."Sesshoumaru...?" Kagome said, suddenly as they walked through the garden. Kagome held a white lily in her hand, playing with it as she spoke.



"Hn."



"Why... Why did you change?" she asked, glancing up at him. She was quite glad she had something to hold besides his hand, it gave her something else to look at while she talked. Sesshoumaru stopped suddenly and she knew his eyes were focused on her.



"This Sesshoumaru was a fool," He began, leading them to the fountain to sit down. He was silent after that, making Kagome believe he did not want to think about it, until, "I had thought that if I pushed everything away, including you, it would make me stronger as a lord and... protect you. Any enemies I had would see that I had nothing of value and leave you be..." Kagome looked at him then, listening. "My beast kept fighting me every time I harmed you, and to rebel, I began to hurt you more. It had got out of hand when I had..." his sentence trailed off. Kagome saw his jaw clench and knew then what he was thinking. He turned to Kagome, holding her chin in his hand.



"I understand that an apology is not only what you deserve and need, but more. You deserve more, Kagome, my love, my mate." he whispered, staring into her eyes. "But This Sesshoumaru promises to protect you and our pup with his life. Now that Takana is dead, I have nothing else that needs my attention, but you, Kagome." He paused again to lean down and place a kiss on her lips, then slowly moved up to her ear, whispering, "Aishiteru, Kagome..."



They had stayed out longer in the garden until Sesshoumaru deemed it time for them to go inside to bed.



"Come, Kagome." he commanded, but Kagome could detect no malice in his words. She nodded, taking the hand he had held out for her. As they walked back inside the shiro, Kagome looked up at him. He was staring straight ahead and his facial expression had changed from what it had looked like when they were talking. Kagome smiled. That was her Sesshoumaru. She realized before that what he had said and done before at the gardens was not something that happened everyday and so she will always and forever cherish that moment.



Getting into bed and pulling the sheets over them both, Sesshoumaru kissed her forehead. "Good Night, Kagome."



Kagome smiled, sleepily running her fingers through his hair. "Good Night, Sesshoumaru."











...As the days, weeks and months passed, Kagome started feeling even more attached to her pup and knew it wouldn't be long before she gave birth. Sitting rather comfortably in the warm onsen, Sesshoumaru in between in thighs, Kagome ran her fingers through his hair.



"I wonder what our child will be?" Kagome said, her fingers going through his silk-like hair. Sesshoumaru grunted.



"A male." he answered, bluntly. Kagome glowered at him.



"Why does it have to be male?" Sesshoumaru leaned further back into her touch, his eyes closed.



"To carry on the Taisho name, of course." He could feel her ire raise as he spoke.



"Does it have to be male?" Kagome asked, her teeth grinding together.



"This Sesshoumaru would have it no other way." he said, jokingly. Apparently, Kagome hadn't seen it that way.



The Great Sesshoumaru suddenly had his face pushed into the water in front of him. He quickly removed the hand that held in place, with great force if he may add, and turned around.



"What is--"



"You're a jerk, Sesshoumaru!" Kagome growled, standing up from the water, paying no mind to her fully naked body. "What if it was female, Sesshoumaru? Huh? What would you do? Kill her?" Kagome asked, angrily snatching the towel off the small, nearby table and wrapped it best around herself as she could. Sesshoumaru's beast clawed at him. He, himself knew that he should not have joked in that way with her, with all the shit she's been through.



"Kagome, calm down." he said softly. She glared at him.



"Oh, don't worry, Sesshoumaru. I wouldn't put my child in danger." she replied, emphasizing 'my'. Sesshoumaru's eyes flashed at this declaration. In less than a second she was in his arms, rushed to their bedroom, and gently deposited on their bed.



"Sesshoumaru--"



"Quiet, bitch!" he growled, straddling her legs. Eyes bleeding red, he leaned down and took a nipple into his mouth. Hearing her moan for him was something he reveled in. Her outburst had brought out his beast and he knew he would have to exercise his dominance over her. Fingers gliding into his hair, Kagome writhed underneath him. When he had that left nipple hard and sensitive, he switched to the right. Even from this angle he could smell her arousal. His cock tightened and pulsed with the need to be in this female beneath him.



Pulling open her legs, he inhaled her heady scent. Eyes completely crimson, he lowered his head. Pushing his head closer to her center, Kagome moaned loudly, lust filled eyes watching him closely. Bringing her to a slow and torturous orgasm, he slid back up on her body. Arms on either side of her head, he kissed her full lips and rubbed his large arousal against her wet core.



"Are you ready, my bitch?" Sesshoumaru growled, his fangs grazing her bottom lip. Her answer was a tug of his hair. Kami, Sesshoumaru wished he could just slam himself home, but knew it would not be a wise thing to do because of their pup. Later. He smirked a dark smirk. Slowly sliding his shaft into her wet hole, he fought back a groan. His mate was so tight and he knew he would never grow tired of her. Kagome's mouth opened as she sucked in a sharp breath.



"Oh, Sesshoumaru." she whispered, tightening her inner muscles. Sesshoumaru growled warningly at her.



"Woman." She only smiled coyly at him. Moving a little faster and harder into her, he brought his lips down to hers. Kagome could feel his taut muscles over her body, his chest teasing her hard nipples as he thrust himself inside of her. Gods, he was beautiful. Moaning, she began to move with him. Sliding down in time with his thrusts. Sesshoumaru brought her to orgasm before releasing more of his potent seed into her. She moaned as he howled out his conquest.











..."Sesshoumaru." Kagome said softly, running her fingers through his hair as they lay in bed together.



"Hn."



"I'm hungry." Sesshoumaru's eyes opened at this. All he wanted to do was lay in bed with his mate and revel in the feel of her small hands going through his hair. He stared into her gray-blue eyes once before closing them again.



"Hn." he said, wrapping his arms around her, resting his nose in her neck.



Kagome glowered down at him. Pulling at his hair, she said, "Sesshoumaru! I wish to eat now!" Sesshoumaru's beast purred at their mate's firey nature while Sesshoumaru fought back a groan.



"Fine." he growled, pulling away from her. He was quite happy her term was nearly over. Kagome, knowing he was annoyed, pulled him back to her and placed a soft kiss on his lips. Sesshoumaru brought her closer to him and deepened the kiss. Kagome smiled knowingly and gently pushed him away.



"Okay, My Lord. That's enough for now. Now, go get your mate something to eat." she said, batting her long eyelashes. Sesshoumaru smirked before placing another kiss on her lips. Throwing on his robe, he opened the door, and after looking back at her once more, left the room. Kagome smiled as she rubbed her belly, smiling even more when it moved.



"We can't wait to see you little one." she whispered.











..."Where the hell is he!" Kagome yelled while a young woman wiped off her sweaty forehead.



"Kagome, you must stay calm. Sesshoumaru is waiting." Tansho said, trying to calm the woman down. Kagome glared at the door, growling as she did.



"He needs to be HERE."



"Yes, yes. I know." Tansho murmured. "I need you to push, Kagome." Tansho said, her words hard. Kagome's jaw clenched.



"Tansho--"



"Your pup is counting on you, Kagome. They wish to see you." Kagome stared down at the woman. Nodding her head, she gave her all. The young woman beside her winced from Kagome's ear-shattering scream.











...Sesshoumaru sat in a room nearby wanting more than anything to see his mate. He had waited hours and just when he couldn't take anymore, the young girl that accompanied Kagome in the room with Tansho had bowed.



"Lady Kagome has given birth."



It did not take long for him to remove himself from the chair and enter the room. Looking down at his mate and pup, he gently ran his hand across their foreheads, promising himself that no harm would come to them.



"They did very well." Tansho said, coming to stand beside him as she wiped off her hands. Sesshoumaru did not reply.



"She had twins." Sesshoumaru stated though surprised. He had not known this. Tansho looked up at him, then.



"You did not know?" she asked, her eyebrows rising in surprise. Sesshoumaru rarely missed anything. Sesshoumaru's jaw clenched at this. His mate could have been hurt during the birthing process because of his carelessness.



"She is fine, Sesshoumaru. She will be healed in no time." The herbs mistress reassured, patting his arm. She smiled suddenly, then, knowing what this time was for.



"Would you like to name your sons, Lord Sesshoumaru?" Tansho asked, never tearing her eyes away from Kagome and the pups.



Sesshoumaru seemed to contemplate it before answering, "No." Tansho continued to stare at him, waiting for him to explain.



"I wish for her to be conscious when we name our pups." he answered, knowing Tansho was waiting for an explaination. Tansho smiled knowingly.



"Yes, My Lord."



Before she could say anything else, the Demon Lord left the room. Tansho shook her head as she walked towards the bed Kagome and her pups were sleeping in. Sesshoumaru was truly something. If it had been any other Lord with a mate giving him an heir, they would have named them on the spot, not caring for their mate's opinion.



Looking down at the pups in her Lady's arms, Tansho spoke, "He may be hard now, but just wait until you guys start running around." she said with a wink, going back to the table to clean up. One of the pups shifted, moving closer to the heat of its mother and brother.
