Chapter 5 - Change And Disaster
 
 
One thirty in the morning, Rin found herself awake and hungry. Rubbing her swelling belly, she tiredly turned towards her sleeping husband. His arm wrapped carefully and protectively around her, shielding her from any enemy that dared make its way towards them. His sleeping face was flawless and beautiful, smooth white skin, a tiny crest in the center of his forehead and adorable violet stripes on both sides of his cheeks. She rubbed the pads of her thumbs across them, feeling the warmth of his face melt right into her skin. He didn't wake.
 
 
She'd never seen him sleep so vulnerably before, remembering the first time they were together and how he'd never sleep beside her. It pained her to watch him sit on the chair across her room where he slept at night and watched over her. Many months passed, but he continued to deny her wishes. She knew it was wrong to use her body and scent to lure him in, but their first passionate night together was worth the many days he left her alone and before she knew it, she'd convinced him to sleep beside her night, day, and even afternoons.
 
 
Smiling to herself, she kissed his forehead.
 
 
“I love you my Sesshy,” she whispered his nickname, leaning forward to kiss his lips with complete tenderness and love. He was her everything and she never regretted her decision. She loved him for who he was, not for money, his name, nor power, but for him, the hidden creature that no one knew but her. Shyly pulling back, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, grinning guiltily. If she continued, things might have gotten out of control, so to speak…
 
 
Untangling her body from his vine like arms, she felt him pull her back flat against his chest, his hot breath licking her neck.
 
 
“Why did you stop?” Sesshoumaru's soft voice whispered pleasantly in her ears. Rin sucked in a harsh breath and shivered. Darn him, he was awake the whole time. She cursed silently. At least she did not face him, otherwise he'd see how much she lusted for him, but nothing could escape the nose of the great demon dog.
 
 
Pressing his smooth lips across the back of her ear, he nibbled the lobe before asking her again, “My mate,” he said hungrily. “I asked you once, why did you stop?” Kissing down behind her ear, across her jaw line, he licked her, tasting her loving flavor that only she could produce for him. He felt her tingle and it sent a jolt of energy through his body, knowing exactly where this would lead to, should he continue.
 
 
“I…” she moaned out, as his finger rolled the protruding nipple from her nightgown and gave it a little pinch while kissing her exposed collar bone, “Sesshoumaru-sama, please,” her thoughts were no where near coherent, not with his hands in places that made her feel like the woman she was.
 
 
Sesshoumaru continued his pleasurable torture, sucking and kissing her shoulders, both of his large hands, occupied with the enlarged balls hidden in her dress. Carefully, he laid her down, blessing her with one of his butterfly kisses. She could not resist him.
 
 
“Sessh—” she began, but the loud rumbling of her stomach interrupted their growing excitement. That all but killed the mood.
 
 
Helping Rin to recover from their little exercise, Sesshoumaru gently placed a kiss on his loving mate's lips and laid her down comfortably on the bed. He patted her large belly gently before kissing it with the same gentleness he bestowed on her. Rin's cheeks flushed instantly. The love her mate was showing for the unborn pup had her heart racing. It was a sight she would ingrain in her mind forever.
 
 
“Pup,” Sesshoumaru spoke, directing his attention to her bulge, “Next time, no interruptions,” he commanded, a laugh escaping Rin's petal soft lips.
 
 
“My dear Sesshoumaru-sama, are you scolding our child?” she teased, seeing the absolute disappoint on his face from being interrupted during their nocturnal activities.
 
 
“You spoil our son too much with those foods you deem healthy,” he began, already slipping out of bed.
 
 
“Son?” Rin scoffed, “And what makes you think our child is a boy Sesshoumaru-sama. I think it might be a girl,” she begged to differ. They had both decided not to find out what sex the child would be until it was born, but Sesshoumaru, he had his ways.
 
 
Rin, feeling a little nauseated with all the talk, rubbed her temple. Sesshoumaru seemed to notice it, as he ran a cool hand across her forehead.
 
 
“Enough with this trivial matter,” he spoke with authority, but with a mutual understanding. “Rest here love. I'll prepare a snack for you and the pup. Don't go anywhere.” He kissed her temple once more before heading out of the room, leaving Rin giddy with joy.
 
 
And that's why I love him, she reminded herself, shifting into a more comfortable spot.
 
 
Sitting on the bed, she waited patiently, but he didn't seem to come any faster than she expected. Maybe he's making me a steak? Her mouth watered at the thought. A minute had only gone by.
 
 
Impatient and hungry, Rin pulled herself to the edge of the bed. Steadying her heavy body, she searched for her slippers, but the large swell at her stomach blocked her view. Finally, after some rummaging around with her feet, she found them, and welcomed the fuzzy warmth they provided for her.
 
 
I know Sesshoumaru-sama said not to leave, but… I'll surprise him, she thought playfully. Surely he'd be angry at her for being careless especially when she was about to give birth to their first child, but she really was feeling famished or was it the pup?
 
 
Waddling her way across the hall, she made it down the first step of the winding staircase. Hmm…I could have sworn there were fewer stairs than this, she sighed taking a deep calming breath. Holding onto the rail and taking her time, she felt a strong pang of nausea hit her, causing her to lose her footing. Gravity took over, as her body descended down the dooming steps of their mansion, each tumble more vicious than the one before.
 
 
“Sesshoumaru-sama!” her voice thick with fear and pain, echoing into the empty corridors as her body finally hit the ground.
 
 
Hearing the distressed scream of his mate, his soul, his very life, Sesshoumaru rushed towards the bedroom. Exiting the godforsaken kitchen, he never realized just how big his damn mansion was before, feeling that his Rin was so far from his reach. Getting to the stairs, he dropped the plate of food he had so carefully prepared when he saw his mate crumpled by his feet and unmoving.

Her cell phone came to life, waking her from the dreamland she created for herself. She ignored it the first time, hoping the person would get the point and leave a message, but just as soon as it stopped, her ring tone sounded again. Who could be calling her so late in the night, for goodness sakes! She checked her clock quickly; it was nearly two thirty in the morning. Lazily reaching her hand out for the annoying ringing item, Kagome found it and read the caller ID: Hospital.
 
 
As if the words hospital were an instant bag of energy, she shot up, completely awake. She fumbled with opening the object and pressed it firmly to her ear.
 
 
“Hello? It's Higurashi,” Kagome spoke clearly, already off her bed and into her closet.
 
 
“Dr. Higurashi!” the voice on the other line panted, Kagome recognized it easily.
 
 
“Yes Hana,” Kagome was slipping on a pair of work pants, cradling the phone between her ear and shoulder.
 
 
“Dr. Higurashi, there's been an emergency. We need you down in the emergency ward immediately!” Hana's voice was desperate, Kagome could tell.
 
 
“What's the situation?” Kagome inquired, slinging her purse over her shoulder and back towards her bed, where her precious son slept quietly through the ruckus.
 
 
“A woman — Sir! You can't go in there!” Kagome heard the nurse say, disregarding their chat. She could hear the heated argument stirring, and gave up on even listening. Shutting her phone with a loud snap, Kagome knew she needed to get to the hospital fast if she wanted answers.
 
 
Picking up Keishi in her arms, he opened one eye resignedly and closed it, but snuggled deeply into her arms, gripping onto his blanket and bunny. Despite his closed eyes, his twitching ears told her he was awake nonetheless.
 
 
“Hey buddy,” she whispered to him, running down the stairs and slipping into easy shoes before placing his white slippers on his feet from the cold, “Mama and you are going to the hospital. When we get there, you stay with Hana okay? She'll take care of you while I'm gone all right?”
 
 
Keishi shook his head left and right, clinging onto her tightly, but Kagome was not going to take no for an answer.
 
 
“I know you want to stay with mama, but right now, can you be a big boy and stay with Hana?” There was no response from him, but a few seconds later there was a slight nod of approval before he drifted back into his needed slumber.
 
 
Satisfied with his answer, Kagome groped for the keys in her bag, locking her door and rushing to her car. After buckling her son in his car seat, she started the engine and was off towards the hospital.
 
 
It took twenty minutes, with the scarce amount of cars, which usually would take her over half an hour or so depending on the traffic. Parking and retrieving her son, belongings and all, she made her way through the common place setting and up into her office. When she got there Hana stood feebly and despairingly, tears in her eyes.
 
 
“Dr. Higurashi!” the poor woman bawled, “Please, you have to stop them, before they kill themselves!”
 
 
Kagome didn't waste a moment, as she passed her sleeping son off to the nurse and into the direction where things should have been quiet, but two very familiar voices were making a scene.
 
 
Rounding the corner of the hall, Kagome stopped in her shoes. She never expected this.
 
 
Inuyasha had Sesshoumaru pinned against the wall, three interns that Kagome knew fairly well cowered behind the hanyou holding onto syringes that she could probably guess were some sort of tranquilizer.
 
 
“Sesshoumaru, you bastard. Calm the fuck down!” Inuyasha grinded through his teeth as his brother fought against him.
 
 
“You imbecile,” Sesshoumaru kicked Inuyasha, but Inuyasha held his stance, waiting for the three cowards to hurry the fuck up and just stab his raging brother with those damned needles.
 
 
“Get out of my sight,” Sesshoumaru seethed, getting a square punch in Inuyasha's gut as the hanyou stumbled and fell to the ground. The three interns immediately backed away, afraid of the ferocity the demon lord displayed. Sesshoumaru paid no attention to the weaklings and focused solely on taking his rage out on somebody, that somebody being Inuyasha.
 
 
Inuyasha blocked his face when Sesshoumaru came at him with a killer punch. There was blood everywhere, clothes, hair, face, hands, legs and floor as fist connected with fist, and fist connected with jaw. The young interns watched, petrified at the scene. The hanyou had been their hope for calming the rampant demon, but at this point there was no way any would go near the two demons. No one could stop them.
 
 
“STOP!” Kagome screamed with all her might. Why did the two brothers have to fight each other here? Her voice didn't make it through anyone as she ran in between the chaos.
 
 
The interns spotted her, knowing exactly her character and what she would do as they tried to hold her back. She fought them, slapping their pointed needles on the ground and managed to kick them away. They didn't understand anything about demons and their emotions.
 
 
Rubbing her sore arm, Kagome spotted Sesshoumaru who gripped Inuyasha around the neck, pressing him against the wall. They had switched positions, chairs skewed all over the place with nobody in Sesshoumaru's way but Inuyasha.
 
 
“If you think you are going to keep me from my mate and pup Inuyasha, it will be your death,” Sesshoumaru growled threateningly, tightening his hold around Inuyasha's throat.
 
 
“Fuck… you…” Inuyasha spat, blood oozing from his lips, not backing down. Sesshoumaru snarled, eyes slanted, intent to kill his brother.
 
 
At that point, Sesshoumaru was so lost in his rage, nothing was clear. He was losing is fucking mind. The years of practice to keep in control diminished to nothing when his mate was at risk as well as his first heir. His claws wrapped Inuyasha's neck, piercing the skin as the blood flowed from his hand. Inuyasha's futile attempt to escape made his blood boil even more as he gripped tighter. It would only be seconds now and Inuyasha would be dead.
 
 
A sneer graced the great Sesshoumaru's face.
 
 
.
 
 
.
 
 
.
 
 
Inuyasha felt like absolute shit.
 
 
He was running out of breath and he expected Sesshoumaru to kill him. Maybe it was a good thing for him. Inuyasha wanted death didn't he? To escape the pain of everything tearing him up inside and his brother was offering it. He already stopped fighting back, letting Sesshoumaru vent off his rage. That's why he came to the hospital in the first place wasn't it? Because the dicks that called themselves doctors were scared shitless of Sesshoumaru. And look where that brought them. No where.
 
 
A couple more seconds, Inuyasha could feel death crawling over his skin; he was slowly starting to lose sight, the bright hospital lights dimming and getting further and further away. The angry growls he got were too getting quieter and quieter, his ears folding against his head. Lastly, his nose, it wriggled one last time, Inuyasha catching a whiff of something, something precious and sweet that his nose wriggled on its own. .
 
 
In that moment he smelt blood, not his own, but he recognized it like it was his very soul, slapping him without end to get up and fight back. And just like that, his will to live shot back tenfold.
 
 
Inuyasha's leg moved on its own accord, catching Sesshoumaru's gut as the hand slipped from Inuyasha's throat. Sesshoumaru fell back, head slamming against the metal chairs as Inuyasha greedily sucked in air, choking from the lack of oxygen. Cocking his head to the side, Inuyasha spotted Kagome. He assumed she must have grabbed Sesshoumaru's arm as that bastard backhanded her across her cheek. Inuyasha snarled.
 
 
Sesshoumaru's attack on her had left a long gash across her cheek, the color changing into a dark blue as her blood dripped. This time, Inuyasha growled deep and primitively. He turned away from her and towards his prey that had caused Kagome such pain. He didn't even realize what was happening, his mind suddenly slipping further and further away. His demon blood surfaced quickly, eyes turning red as two purple stripes etched themselves across his cheek. Inuyasha cracked his knuckles, claws elongating.
 
 
This time, Sesshoumaru had stepped over the line.
 
 
.
 
 
.
 
 
.
 
 
It happened so fast, Sesshoumaru on the ground as Inuyasha pounced on him, his claws digging deep into Sesshoumaru's shoulder, attacking without end. Sesshoumaru could barely defend himself.
 
 
Although the swelling of her injured cheek stung, Kagome had no time to think about it. She had to stop the both of them before one of them seriously died tonight. Standing up on her feet she sucked in her pain staring at the hanyou who was no longer a hanyou anymore.
 
 
From her research, she knew exactly what had happened. Inuyasha had transformed into his demon form, all traces of his human mind gone. Stepping closer, she didn't let his mere appearance waver her thoughts or feelings for him. He was still Inuyasha, the kind, ill-tempered, ramen loving Inuyasha. The talented, stupid idiot who didn't realize her feelings years ago and the one and only man she would ever love.
 
 
She grabbed onto his arm, the one about to punch Sesshoumaru's face in and held it tight, close to her heart. Inuyasha shrugged her arm off, but she wouldn't let go making him angrier. He pushed off Sesshoumaru and turned his attention to Kagome, staring at her with foreign red, blue pupiled eyes.
 
 
Kagome's gaze didn't falter as she grasped his cheeks in her hands, feeling him tremble. She felt him grab her wrists tight between his hands, but he didn't hurt her, just continued staring deep into her chocolate eyes, confused and searching for something very important. She could tell he was fighting a war in his mind. His eyes said it all. He'd come back to her, he always did.
 
 
Trusting that she'd get through to him, his claws sunk into her wrists and she was trapped.
 
 
An intern, one with dark hair and tall, named Hojo could see how much pain Kagome was in. Secretly, he had the largest crush on her, but she had been the only one to never notice. They were the same age, but mentally, she was much more mature and experienced than he could ever imagine, but he wasn't going to let her suffer to that hanyou.
 
 
Taking a deep breath, Hojo grabbed the fallen tranquilizer, his hands shaking as he rose on his feet and ran with all his might towards the hostile beast.
 
 
“Doctor Higurashi! I'll protect you!” Hojo screamed, though it came out more frightened than brave. The young man charged at Inuyasha blindly, who had heard him loud and clear.
 
 
Inuyasha, releasing his grip on Kagome, turned towards Hojo, complete rage replacing his expression.
 
 
Kagome stood shocked and alarmed. Hojo, that idiot! Kagome screamed in her head. Inuyasha was so close to coming back. Just another moment, but that idiot of an intern had to ruin it.
 
 
If I don't do something Hojo's going to get pummeled, she thought, her cheek finally going numb.
 
 
On reflex, Kagome body checked Inuyasha into the wall and pressed her dry lips against his angry ones. He struggled against her, but she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into him deeply. Her scent began to cloud his mind and the feel of her lips were so warm. Kagome couldn't think, couldn't breathe; she just kissed him with everything she had to stop his madness.
 
 
Inuyasha, if you're in there, come back, wishing the voice in her head would get to him and then she felt it. His hands stopped pushing against her and instead wrapped themselves around her waist, pulling her closer as a tongue slipped into her mouth.
 
 
Kagome gasped at the frightening feeling of his tongue in her mouth as he tasted her, begging her to dance along. She wasn't that great of kisser, but his tongue teased her without end. Lost in the overwhelming sensation, Kagome opened up, allowing him to devour her ravenously.
 
 
Inuyasha quickly went to work, first switching position so she was pressed between his chest and the wall. Not once did he let her lips leave his, afraid if they did, it'd be over too soon and quickly for him to remember. Secondly, his hands stroked her thighs softly, lifting them high above his waist and holding them there. He didn't realize what was happening, her scent enclosing him, them, in their own dimension. Each time their tongues collided, it was like a spark of pleasant electricity flowing through his blood, making his stick rigid and uncontrolled.
 
 
Inuyasha let her have a quick breath before attacking her full force, crashing his needy lips against hers to quench his hunger. One arm supported her against the wall, while the other caressed her cheek, thumbing it gently. It was then he remembered her swollen cheek and abruptly ended their passion.
 
 
“Kagome…” Inuyasha swallowed a lump of spit, unsure if it was his alone.
 
 
“Inuyasha,” Kagome stared deeply into his honey eyes, fresh tears leaking, “You're… okay,” she said, repeating it over and over, holding him tightly as she cried into his shoulder. Inuyasha patted her back unsure of what had just come to pass, realizing she was still up against the wall, legs wrapped around him, and if he were like any dirty dog, she was quite humpable.
 
 
He quickly brush that thought away, when he heard a grunt from behind him.
 
 
“We've made quite a mess,” Sesshoumaru spoke quietly and composed, leaned up against the wall, eyes closed as his arm rested on the knee he bent up, “Rin would be ashamed,” he said, not knowing if he spoke to them or himself.
 
 
Inuyasha set Kagome on her feet, brushing the rest of her tears away with the pads of his thumbs.
 
 
“Uh, sorry about this,” Inuyasha apologized, eyes cast down and embarrassed. He had not planned for things to turn out this way. Definitely not with the broken walls, fallen picture frames, and the chairs that were no longer chairs.
 
 
Kagome jabbed a finger at him, “Don't look so sad puppy,” she teased, watching his forlorn face drastically change into a smile with her touch, “I think I can convince the hospital to clean up this,” Kagome looked around the used to be hallway, “…mess.”
 
 
She gave him a reassuring wink, but somehow it didn't sit right with him. He and Sesshoumaru had caused the damaged and no matter what she said, he was sure to pay for it all. It wasn't like he couldn't, but he knew damn well that Sesshoumaru felt the same.
 
 
“Doctor Hig..urashi?” A nurse who had been in the birthing room walked through the large swinging doors, dropping her clipboard.
 
 
Sesshoumaru picked it up for her before engaging in a conversation. “My mate, Rin, how is she?” Sesshoumaru questioned, blood leaking from his temple, dried blood caking his lips, and the large bleeding gap at his shoulder, staining his snow white hair. The nurse stared at the demon lord, eyes wide, mouth dropped to the ground before the whites of her eyes had her fainting.
 
 
The full dog demon caught her effortlessly before setting her on the ground. Pathetic human, Sesshoumaru leered, eyes still focused on where that nurse had come from. With all the hospital patients, mixed with food, medicine and cleaning supplies, Sesshoumaru couldn't make out the slightest scent of his mate, his love, and that was what had him on the edge to cause such a disaster. He didn't move from his spot, until a tiny hand touched his shoulder.
 
 
“You said her name was Rin, right?” Kagome asked, looking beyond the door as well, “I'll go see what's happening.” And with that, Kagome walked through those doors without any restraint.
 
 
Never in his life had Sesshoumaru been denied anything that he wanted, never, yet the only thing he ever truly desired was being kept from him through two stupid operation doors. Sesshoumaru never hated anything enough to make him lose control, but now, just maybe he had.
 
 
“Anyways,” Inuyasha spoke up, hands behind his head and sitting against the wall much like Sesshoumaru had before, “What happened to your shoulder? Did a chair go through it?”
 
 
Sesshoumaru could hear Inuyasha smother a laugh, but the situation was anything but funny. Flashes of Inuyasha's transformations began to fill Sesshoumaru's exhausted mind, the red eyes, the long fangs, the claws, and the forgotten memories. There was much he had yet to tell Inuyasha, but with his state of mind, Sesshoumaru would probably cause another uproar.
 
 
He slumped against the wall, the pain finally crashing on him, but Rin and his pup, he worried more for their sake than his own.
 
 
.
 
 
.
 
 
.
 
 
Inuyasha sat across Sesshoumaru, waiting for an answer to his question, but it was ignored. It really didn't matter to him that much. After all, Inuyasha probably would've done the same if his mate fell down a flight of stairs while carrying his pup. He always thought of Sesshoumaru as the controlled perfectionist kind of guy. So when he got the call from the hospital that his older brother was wreaking havoc and attacking doctors, he rushed there immediately only to find that his brother was losing his fucking mind.
 
 
Scratching the back of his head, Inuyasha realized the stiffness in his jaw and ribs. He took a quick glance at Sesshoumaru, a man who practically looked liked he walked out from the morgue. Inuyasha wasn't surprised if he himself looked that banged up as well, but the injury in Sesshoumaru's arm had him wondering. It was as if a piece of his memory suddenly vanished and then Kagome, wow, Kagome was one hell of a kisser.
 
 
He could still feel her lips fresh on his own, her body squished against his so perfectly. Then her tongue, Inuyasha shivered, he wondered what else she could do with that tongue of hers. It was like her very presence was enough to defeat the beast that had been growing inside of him since he last saw her four days ago, which reminded him, if she was here in the middle of the night, where was her son?
 
 
Standing in a stretch, Inuyasha rolled his neck. The three interns sat far from them, huddled together like the cowards they were, but one of them, the dark headed one, gave him a look of disgust and fear. Inuyasha ignored him, walking completely pass them and into the men's bathroom not that far away.
 
 
Once inside, Inuyasha stared at himself in the large mirror. Keh, I don't look half bad, he prided himself in. Compared to Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha only had a couple bruises on his ribs and arms. Despite the deep gouges and bruises around his neck, he was completely fine. He expected to be healed within an hour or so.
 
 
Washing the dried blood from his fingers and face, Inuyasha's ears twitched from a familiar whimper hiding in the last stall of the bathroom. Quickly drying his hands off, he slowly traveled towards the end of the bathroom, pushing the unlocked door open.
 
 
“Pup?” Inuyasha said in disbelief. “What are you doing in here?”
 
 
Keishi, hearing the familiar deep voice, looked up, eyes watering, before leaping right into Inuyasha's arms.
 
 
“Mr. Something,” he cried into Inuyasha's shoulder, gripping his sore neck. Inuyasha made no regard towards it. “Mama, I want mama,” Keishi continued whimpering.
 
 
“It's okay pup,” Inuyasha tried to calm. “No one's gonna get you now,” he assured, feeling the boy relax against him.
 
 
Exiting the bathroom, a petite woman with short black hair, blue eyes and out of breath rushed right into their direction, but stopped momentarily, her eyes passing from Inuyasha, to Keishi, and back to Inuyasha.
 
 
Kami. Hana thought. There's no way Doctor Higurashi's son is a Takahashi.' Clearing her thoughts, the young nurse stepped in front of Inuyasha.
 
 
“Excuse me Mr. Takahashi,” Hana said, recognizing the famous business man. “Doctor Higurashi asked me to watch over her son while she was gone, but Keishi suddenly disappeared from her office. I can take him out of your hands.”
 
 
Inuyasha sniffed her, making sure she wasn't lying, but there was no indication that she had been. He turned his attention to the pup who had fallen into a deep sleep. And somehow, a surge of protectiveness and possessiveness came forth as he cradled the boy close to his body.
 
 
“It's all right,” Inuyasha finally spoke. “I'll take care of him for Kagome. Please tell her that for me.”
 
 
Hana nodded not even thinking about crossing his authority and turned back in the direction where she came from. While listening to Inuyasha talk, she couldn't help but notice the large similarities between the small boy and the grown man. She had a hunch that Keishi's missing father no longer was missing anymore, but Kagome never mentioned knowing the Takahashi's to her. Apparently, she was wrong, when Inuyasha called Doctor Higurashi by her first name.
 
 
I think I need a vacation, Hana told herself, sitting behind her desk. It was going to be a long day.
 
 
.

Rin opened her heavy lids, hearing the bothersome beeping of the machines attached to her body. Scanning the room, there seemed to be nobody around, no doctor, no nurse. God did her head and body ache like nothing she ever felt before. Remembering the previous events that landed her in the hospital, Rin's tiny hand immediately went to her now flat belly. A pool of tears dripped from her eyes.
 
 
“My… my baby,” her lips trembled and voice cracked. “My baby!” she screamed even louder.
 
 
A warm unfamiliar hand came to her side suddenly, trying to soothe her.
 
 
“Please Mrs. Takahashi, calm down,” the doctor repeated. Rin stared at the stranger, long raven hair and bright brown eyes. “Everything is okay, your child is all right,” Kagome said mustering as much happiness in her tired voice as she could.
 
 
From a mother's point of view, Kagome understood how Rin was feeling and tried her best to keep a smile despite the weariness that tugged at her body. It seemed to ease the distressed woman.
 
 
“Doctor,” Rin spoke dryly. “My baby… my husband, where are they?”
 
 
Kagome saw the desperate need and want the young woman bore in her eyes, as she pulled away and called forth the two people Rin needed most.
 
 
Sesshoumaru entered the room with a small bundle wrapped in his arms as he crossed the room with swiftness. He was beside Rin within a blink of an eye.
 
 
“I'll be outside if there are any problems, and Mrs. Takahashi—”
 
 
Rin interrupted the young doctor, “Please Doctor, call me Rin,” she said wearily, holding Sesshoumaru's hand for support.
 
 
“Rin,” Kagome spoke. “Congratulations, you have a healthy young boy,” And with that said, Kagome exited the room, leaving the family to their privacy.
 
 
The moment the door shut, Sesshoumaru already was scooting her over and pulling her on his lap before setting the newborn hanyou in her arms. Rin let her tears of happiness spill, blurring her vision.
 
 
Her beautiful son, dark black hair like hers stuck in all directions, little dark puppy ears sticking to the side, and his bright golden eyes just like his father, Rin couldn't help the overwhelming happiness.
 
 
Kissing her fatigued lips and body, Sesshoumaru wrapped his arm around her shoulder comfortably and inhaled her scent.
 
 
“Didn't I tell you we were going to have a son?” Sesshoumaru mocked, his young son grasping his index finger, suckling it lightly. Watching their newborn, the hanyou slowly drifted to sleep in her arms as Rin let out a small giggle, one that made Sesshoumaru smile brightly on the inside.
 
 
Rin half expected Sesshoumaru to begin his scolding, but he seemed to avoid it like the plague.
 
 
“Sesshoumaru-sama,” Rin began. “I'm sorry, I should have been more careful.” Her tears began to fall again, “It was my fau—”
 
 
Sesshoumaru silenced her with a ferocious kiss, a kiss that told her it was over and that was all that mattered. Reluctantly releasing her, he pecked her lips one last time, resting his forehead against her own.
 
 
“My mate,” his voice etched with pain and emotion. “I promise you, it will never happen again. This Sesshoumaru has failed you.”
 
 
Rin pushed his bangs away, brushing her lips against his once more.
 
 
“No,” Rin stared directly into his eyes, showing and telling him. “Sesshoumaru-sama has never failed Rin, never.”
 
 
In that moment, Sesshoumaru knew he'd never find a mate like her again. She was a keeper, one that he had luckily stumbled across in his lifetime. If it was forever with her, that was all he'd ever need. Rin, his precious jewel, his love. She was a dream come true to a cold hearted demon who didn't dream.
 
 
Rin snuggled closer to her mate, her head nestled on his good shoulder as her lids fell closed. It was all right to rest again. She could feel his large protective aura wrap around her and her pup and she knew they were safe. Sesshoumaru was her blanket, one she'd never throw away and keep forever hidden for her own pleasure.
 
 
Sesshoumaru had been her blessing.
 
 
.
 
 
.

Kagome yawned, heading for her office to quickly check on her boy. She expected Keishi to be up and about crying for her seeming that it was well past noon. Upon her arrival, she only saw Hana, on the phone and jotting down a quick note before hanging up.
 
 
“Doctor Higurashi!” Hana addressed. “I know I was supposed to keep an eye on Keishi, but Mr. Inuyasha Takahashi insisted on watching him. They're down in the lobby.”
 
 
Kagome's face pinkened, remembering the passionate kiss her and Inuyasha shared in the early morning. How would she face him now?
 
 
“Uh, thanks,” Kagome stuttered. “I'll go find them,” she was about to walk down the hall when a thought crossed her mind, “Hana!”
 
 
The nurse looked up from her computer, “Yes Doctor Higurashi?”
 
 
“Why don't you take the rest of the week off? You've been working pretty hard the past couple of months.”
 
 
Kagome didn't miss the surprise look as she continued towards the elevator.
 
 
“Thank you Doctor Higurashi, thank you,” Hana called, already packing her bags.
 
 
Kagome smiled before pressing the “L” button of the elevator to take her to her destination.
 
 
Running a hand through her hair, Kagome wiped the fatigue from her eyes. The work she did was not hard, but it was exhausting and long. Hearing the ding of the elevator, the metal doors opened as she stepped through.
 
 
It wasn't hard to spot two silver headed hanyous who sat in the far corner munching on snacks. Making her way through the lines of chairs and people, both hanyou turned in her direction before she could even surprise them. Demons and their noses, she thought, a bit jealous of them all, but then again just thinking about the intensity of the different scents, Kagome took her thought back.
 
 
“Mama!” Keishi bounced from his seat, dropping his sandwich on the napkin as he hurdled into her arms. Kagome barely caught him, noticing just how fast he was growing. She gave Inuyasha an acknowledging nod.
 
 
“I thought you were supposed to be with Hana,” she scolded teasingly and her intelligent son caught on.
 
 
“But, Mr. Something watch me. That okay? Wa-rite mama?” Kagome couldn't help but place a kiss on Keishi's nose. He was so cute she couldn't imagine having anyone but him.
 
 
“I suppose,” she said, sitting down beside Inuyasha, Keishi settled in her lap.
 
 
“What's that suppose to mean wench?” Inuyasha asked swallowing the tasty sandwich he had just bitten into.
 
 
Kagome laughed, “Nothing Inuyasha, but thank you for watching him for me.”
 
 
Inuyasha all but choked on his sandwich.
 
 
“Keh,” he scoffed, his face bright red as he handed her a bag filled with her own sandwich. “Keishi said you liked tuna, so we got you one.
 
 
Kagome took it politely, “Thank you, you didn't have to,” she looked down at Keishi who ate happily. “And you buddy, did you say thank you to Inuyasha?”
 
 
Keishi nodded assuring her that he remembered his manners. She rubbed his ears as a reward.
 
 
And together, the three of them sat in the corner of the room, eating a quick meal merrily and chatting. There was a laugh here and there while Keishi jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulders begging for a ride.
 
 
Anyone who walked pass would've easily mistaken them for a family.
 
 
 
A/N: And that is chapter 5 for you. Goodness, my neck hurts. Somehow, I'm not quite satisfied with the whole chapter, but tell me what you think. I think I'm going to bed now. Night! OH! And my reviewers let me tell you guys, you guys are my drug. Seriously, I like check my email every five minutes to see I've gotten a message or anything. Well maybe not quite that much, but thank you for helping me to create this beautiful story. And also, I think I lied. I said I probably was going to end the story at 8 chapters, but I think I have to extend it a little more. Sorry if that disappoints anyone. =] Expect typos and see you in the next chapter!
 
 
My Thanks:
