He watched her sleep before clothing himself. He had not intended on sleeping with her this night, he was sure she would have rejected him. He walked to the window and flew out, leaving once again.
He didn't make it far.
"Will you leave her again?" Sesshomaru turned to see his father standing by a tree not looking at him. Sesshomaru waited for a second before trying to leave again. "You took her again," His father's words stopped him again "She was willing," Sesshomaru told him.
His father was serious right now, this was no joke nor tease.
"She is my mate."
His father turned around "This I know, that is not what I am speaking of son."
Sesshomaru looked away "Your grandson will arrive soon," Sesshomaru could feel it, and none of this was his father's business.
Sesshomaru walked away again.
"Go Sesshomaru, leave her again, and one day when you return she will be gone, gone to another who will protect her, love her and they will have the power you seek,"
Sesshomaru was going to let his father think what he wanted, a cruel joke, but this was payback for annoying him.
Morning came, and Kagome opened her eyes. She did not even have to look over to know he was gone. At first, she thought maybe it was a dream, but her body told her otherwise. Kagome sighed. A knock came to her door, and Kagome sat up "Yes?"
"It's me, Kagome" Sango's voice rang out.
"Come in!"
Sango opened the door and closed it quickly, but in the time that it was open Kagome could hear yelling.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered.
"You let him leave again!" Inuyasha yelled. His father looked out a window.
"He will return."
"Yeah and then what? He will leave again!" Inuyasha spat out.
"Inuyasha," Miroku placed his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"What monk!"
"Are you angry?" Miroku asked.
"What are you dumb monk?"
"So tell me then, my friend, when it was you doing it to her-
"Finish that sentence, monk," Inuyasha warned growling. Inuyasha felt bad enough. "I was just trying to make a point, my friend."
Inuyasha crossed his arms "Should we not go after him?" Inuyasha asked.
"No, he will return," His father stated once again. Inuyasha huffed and walked out of the room.
Miroku sighed. "Do not worry, monk."
"But I do."
"What do you think?"
"I'm sorry?"
"What do you think of this? Of her, her feelings, of him? His feelings?" He was still looking out the window. Miroku looked at his back and sighed again "Kagome is a devoted person, this I know; she will fall in love with him; if she has not already, she has taken to him."
"And what of my son?"
"I don't know him as well as I do Inuyasha, but even though they hate each other, they are still brothers and are more alike than they would like to admit,"
"Let's hope not."

It was late at night, and she was taking a bath. The large indoor hot spring felt good. Her belly round as it was going to get. Kagome smiled as she rubbed warm water over her womb; it felt good. But the feeling didn't last long. Kagome's breath caught in her chest, and she held her womb "Oh," Kagome laid one hand on a large rock to hold herself up. "Am, am I in labor?" She was afraid.
He ran fast, he knew his son was coming, and he felt his mate in stress. He was angry with himself for leaving her alone for so long, but he wanted everyone around them to suffer for their assumptions on his person. Sesshomaru growled as he sped up.
Sesshomaru burst through the gates and into the castle. "Where is she!" He said deeply. Inuyasha gave him an odd look,
"She is in the bath," Sango stated.
"Something wrong, my son?" They had all been sitting around a fireplace.
"Fools," Was all he said as he dashed to the room.
"Kagome," He called, but she did not reply; he burst into the hot spring and found her trying to hold herself up on a rock. With a blink, he was next to her. "Sesshomaru," She said out of breath. "He's, he's coming," She said, looking at him. Sesshomaru growled and picked her up bridal style. "No, Sesshomaru, put me down."
He looked at her "The water Sesshomaru, put me back in the water," He lowered her back into the water, her arms still around his neck. The spring door opens "Leave us!" Sesshomaru snapped. He was angry at everyone for leaving her alone, but no one more than himself. He knew the baby was going, perhaps that's why he was so on edge all afternoon, but he should have come back sooner.
"My Lord!," He heard a maid call through the door, but he didn't care; he wasn't leaving her again.
Kagome sucked in a breath as her belly tightened and he growled, it left no room for argument, and the people at the door took their leave.
"Dont leave me," She breathed "I, I dont think I can do it alone,"
He pulled her against him tighter "I have no intentions of leaving, now Miko it is time to give birth to our son,"
