Summary: Sesshoumaru has a question for Kagome.
An uneasy peace descended over the castle. In exchange for Inuyasha rebuilding the gate, the
monk had managed to obtain lodgings for himself and Inuyasha. Kagome, the Lady, Ouji kept to
themselves in the women's quarters. Sesshoumaru barricaded himself in his office. It was only
place that he was safe from the monk
One day when Inuyasha was busy with the gate and Miroku was cheating his soldiers out their
hard earned pay, Sesshoumaru decided to take a walk to the women's quarters to visit his mate.
He had not seen her since Inuyasha had returned from the dragon hunt. That episode had not
endeared her to him. He had to know where he stood.
It was already the ninth month. Normally she would have left after the fifth month and returned
to him in the eleventh month. This year had been extraordinary. Kagome had given birth in the
third month. The time Kagome normally would have left for the Edo area had passed while
Inuyasha was out on the dragon hunt with Miroku. Sesshoumaru had expected her to leave when
Inuyasha returned. Instead, she lingered. He wondered why.
He found her rocking Kibou while she slept. She looked up at him and smiled.
" You are free to go. As the half-breed said `Your ride is here.'. Why do you stay?"
" You are not going to get rid of me that easily, Sesshoumaru. I stayed with you even though it
meant I was cheating on my husband. I stayed with you even though it meant that I could only be
with each of you for six months. I stayed with you even though you threw me out and took my
son away from me I stayed with you even though you almost killed my mate. I stayed with you
even though you held me and my daughter hostage."
" Why?"
" Because I love you."
He pondered her words. " Is there any way that you could get the monk to leave? He is driving
me crazy."
Kagome looked up and gasped at his words. If Miroku was still here, it could mean only one
thing. Sango was about to give birth to her fifth child. She had to leave immediately.

She gave him a hurried peck on the cheek and mumbled " Bye, I've got to go."
Sesshoumaru gazed at her bewildered. What had just happened?
