Mending a broken heart

While Kagome was enjoying her visit with the wolf tribe, the lord of the western lands was still trying to find his intended. He finally made it to her house and was disappointed when he found it empty. Thinking that she was still on her way there he decided he'd stay the night. He intended to stay awake and wait for her but he wound up falling asleep. When he woke up the next morning to find that she never came he started to worry.

"Now where did that woman go?" He asked himself. That's when he remembered her friends Miroku and Sango. He decided he'd go check with them and see if perhaps she'd gone there instead. It was evening time when he finally made it to their home.

Miroku smiled when he saw him. "Hello lord Sesshomaru. How are you these days?" He asked.

"To tell you the truth monk I've been better."

"That's too bad. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"As a matter of fact there is. Have you seen Kagome recently?" He asked. Miroku was a little shocked that Sesshomaru had called Kagome by her name or that he even asked for her at all.

"No why? I thought she was with Inuyasha." Miroku said confused.

Sesshomaru growled. "No she is no longer with that whelp. She's with me now. But I'm afraid I upset her and she ran off." When Sesshomaru saw the shock on Miroku's face he smirked and lifted an eyebrow.

"Something wrong monk?"

"N-no. N-n-nothing's wrong." Miroku said nervously.

"Lord Sesshomaru, we were about to have dinner. Why don't you stay and tell us all about it." Sango said coming up behind them.

"Alright." Sesshomaru said following them into their hut. As they sat eating their dinner he explained everything that had happened. At the end of his story Sango was clearly pissed.

"I'll kill that asshole! He's hurt her for the last time!" She said gritting her teeth and shaking with rage.

"Now now Sango. Remember the baby. You must not distress yourself." Miroku said trying to calm her down.

She glared at him. "Listen here monk, don't tell me what I can and can't feel stressed over."

"Yes Sango." He said sighing. Miroku knew it was best to just humor her.

She turned to glare at Sesshomaru. "And you, don't you dare ever hurt Kagome. If you do I'm only going to warn you once, I will hunt you down and rip your dick and balls off and cram them down your throat!" With that she stomped out of the room leaving the two shocked men behind her.

"Well that was...interesting." Sesshomaru said.

"I'm sorry. You'll have to excuse her behaviour. She's scary when she's angry but since she's gotten pregnant you don't even want to look at her the wrong way. I've heard that when a woman's pregnant her hormones go all haywire. Boy do I feel sorry for you." Miroku said.

"Oh? Why's that?"

"Have you ever been around Kagome when she's really angry?" Miroku asked. Sesshomaru just nodded. "Well imagine her ten times worse when she's carrying your child." He smirked when he saw Sesshomaru's eyes widen. "Now you see what I've been going through. The only difference is Sango can't purify like Kagome can. I find it's best to just agree with Sango even when she's wrong."

"I'll keep that in mind." Sesshomaru said.

A few minuets later Sango came back in the room with her head hanging low in shame.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you in such a manner." She said.

"Don't worry. I understand that you are only worried about your friends well being. I assure you though that this Sesshomaru shall love her with my whole heart and soul. I am not like my idiot brother."

"Ok. I'm getting tired guys so I'm going to bed." She said yawning.

"I'll be there shortly dear. I'd like to visit with our guest a little longer."

"Alright." She said leaving the room.

Sesshomaru and Miroku stayed up talking for a few hours. Once Miroku went to bed Sesshomaru was left with his thoughts.

"Where are you? I hope you are safe my sweet Kagome." He whispered. With that he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning they all ate their breakfast in silence. When they were done Miroku began speaking.

"I think I might have an idea where Kagome could have gone." He said.

"Where! Tell me monk! I have to find her!" Sesshomaru said getting excited. Sango couldn't help but giggle at his excitement.

"I think she may have gone to visit the wolf tribe."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty positive she's there if she isn't in her usual places."

Sesshomaru smiled. "Thank you monk!"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Sango ran up to him. "You really do love her don't you?"

He smiled. "Yes I do. She's the air I breathe. She's the light in my life and the reason I live. She's my all, my everything. I'd die without her." He said with warmth and love in his eyes when he spoke of Kagome.

"Aww! You're so sweet!" She surprised him by throwing her arms around him sobbing. He looked helplessly at Miroku who only shrugged. She pulled back and dried her eyes smiling.

"Sorry about that. It was just so sweet and romantic. I've never heard beautiful words spoken like that before." She turned towards Miroku. "You could learn a thing or two from him."

"Hey! I can be sweet too!"

"Sorry but saying things like 'will you bear my child' are NOT romantic." She said rolling her eyes. She turned back to Sesshomaru and smiled.

"You have my blessing. Now go get her." She said as she stepped up to him and kissed his cheek. For the first time in his life the lord of the western lands blushed.

"I thank you for your hospitality."

"No problem. You're welcome here anytime you want." Miroku said smiling.

"Thank you." Sesshomaru said before speeding off.

Miroku sighed. "Now that is a man in love."

"I know. Thank god Inuyasha screwed up because she's found the perfect man for her." Sango said.

"I agree. Inuyasha may have driven her away but he helped to bring her true love."
