Mending a broken heart

Over the next few weeks Inuyasha and Kora got to know each other better. Everyone noticed a change come over Inuyasha. He smiled more, laughed more and he didn't even cuss as much. He spent a lot of time with Kora's sister who still insisted on calling him 'Yassa puppy'. Everyone got a laugh out of that. It was clear as day that he was happy. He and Kora weren't exactly courting but he still treated her like gold. He treated her better than he'd ever treated Kagome and Kikyo combined. Everyone knew he was in love with her. Well everyone that is but himself. Sesshomaru decided it was time to talk to his clueless brother and open his eyes.

One day Inuyasha was outside playing with Keiko, when Sesshomaru came over to him and asked him to come with him to his study.

"Why do ya want me to go there for?" Inuyasha asked.

"I wish to speak to you in private."

"Alright." Inuyasha said. He knew that if his brother wanted to speak to him in private, it had to be important. When they got to his study, Sesshomaru told him to sit.

"So what did ya want to talk to me about?"

"I wanted to talk to you about Kora."

"Kora? Is somethin wrong with her? Did someone hurt her? Who was it! I'll slit their throats!" He growled jumping to his feet.

Sesshomaru smiled. "Relax Inuyasha. Nothing is wrong with her and nobody hurt her."

Inuyasha sighed in relief. "Sess, don't mess with me like that! I was worried that somethin was wrong with her!"

"Actually Inuyasha, I wanted to talk to you about your relationship with her."

"Wh-what are ya talkin about? We ain't got no relationship! I ain't in love with her or nothin!" Inuyasha said blushing.

Sesshomaru smirked at him slyly. "I never said anything about love Inuyasha. You're the one who said that."

"W-well...I...uh...just...just shut up ya smug bastard!" Inuyasha said now as red as his firerat.

Sesshomaru sighed. "It's clear to everyone that you're in love with that girl. You need to tell her before it's too late. If you don't, someone else will come along and take her away from you." He said standing up.

"Keh. What do you know anyway?" Inuyasha said turning away from him.

"Just remember what I've told you little brother. It's plain to see that she's your soulmate. She's who you're meant to be with. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I'm the same way with Kagome." Sesshomaru said as he left his brother to his thoughts.

It only took five minuets after Sesshomaru left the room before what Sesshomaru had said to him to sink in. He was in love with Kora and he felt complete with her by his side. He smiled and lept to his feet as he ran out the door. He was going to tell Kora right now how he felt about her. If he had his way, he'd have himself a mate by the end of the night.

Sesshomaru and Kagome were walking to their room when a red blur flew past them.

"Was that Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru smirked. "Yes. It appears that clueless dolt is taking my advice."

"What advice?"

Sesshomaru shrugged. "I simply told him what he needed to hear. I told him that if he didn't act now, that someone would come along and claim Kora and he'd be left alone again."

Kagome smiled. "That was sweet of you Sess."

"Sweet? This Sesshomaru is anything but sweet my love."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Oh that's right how could I forget? You're my big bad puppy dog."

Sesshomaru growled and pinned her up against the wall. Kagome gasped as he ground his hips into hers.

"How about this puppy shows you just how big and bad I can be my beautiful mate?" He said as he nuzzled her neck. He heard Kagome gasp and smirked as he placed gentle kisses along her jaw.

"S-Sess-Sesshomaru, st-stop!" She hissed as she grabbed his arms and squeezed tightly. He pulled back in confusion. She'd never turned him down for sex before.

"What is it Kagome?"

"Ah! I-I th-think it's time." She panted as she gritted her teeth. Just then he felt something warm and wet hit his feet. He looked down and saw a puddle of water under Kagome. His eyes widened as he realized what was wrong. His pup was on the way.

"Oh fuck!" Was all he could say before taking off with her to the birthing room.

A/N: In case you are all wondering, I haven't forgotten about the jewel. Everyone in my story has just forgotten about it with all the excitement that had been going on lately. I think you'll all love what happens with the jewel. Well at least I hope so.
