Disclaimer: Did I say I owned Inuyasha? And you believed me? Seriously what a joke…

 

“Speaking”

`Thinking'

 

 

A/N: Extra super long chapter filled with Fluff, WAFF, angst and tragedy!!!

 

It's my little treat since I won't update until at least next week, because school is starting again! Gods whatever happened to my summer break???

 

 

After making sure for at least the thousandth time that Miroku was okay Kagura went down to the dinning room. Doctor Suikotsu had left earlier after giving Miroku a very powerful sedative and a few sleeping pills. Since Kagome had yet to regain all of her strength she was asleep upstairs, therefore when Kagura entered the room, Inuyasha, Sango and Sesshomarou were the only ones sited at the table.

 

As they were enjoying their meal in silence (since neither Rin nor Kagome were here to make conversation), Jaken came in the room carrying a rather large deep purple colored envelop. The toad demon walked to the end of the table where his master sat and bowed.

 

“What is it Jaken?” the demon lord asked lifting his gaze from his extremely rare steak to his servant.

 

“Master, this letter was delivered here” seeing Sesshomarou sigh before extending his clawed hand, Jaken added “it is addressed to Miss Kagura Tadakaze”.

 

Hearing this Kagura choked on the piece of meat she was chewing. And after drinking an entire glass of water she looked at Sesshomarou who was sniffling the purple envelop. He then said one word which caused shivers to run down Kagura's spine: “Naraku”.

 

She stuttered in shock “it's…that's not possible…how could he… know I'm here?!”

 

“I don't know” Sesshomarou said masking his worry.

 

He then gave the colored envelop to the red eyed woman sitting on his right. She nervously licked her lips and with shaking hands took the piece of paper.

 

“Keh what does this bastard want now?!” An interested and equally angry Inuyasha asked.

 

The wind sorceress took a deep breath then opened the envelop. She took out a purple piece of paper that was drenched in Naraku's favorite perfume, the one she used to buy for him all the time. Her ex boyfriend's neat and big handwriting was all over one side of the small piece of paper. Kagura cleared her throat before reading aloud:

 

My dear Kagu, how are you and my child faring? I hope you are taking good care of yourself. I trust that my good old friend Sesshomarou feeds you well and also enables you to sleep peacefully at night. I bet that his sheets must be of the greatest comfort, or maybe it is his skin that you prefer sleeping against. Yes my little naughty Kagura, I am well aware of the extent of your involvement with him.

 

But where are my manners? What about your friend Miroku is his hand any better? I pray that his injuries will get better. I was very upset to learn about his accident, really a hit and run, the roads are becoming quite unsafe wouldn't you agree?

 

Kanna and Hakudoushi insisted on sending you their affection. I have not heard of your good friend Goshinki in a little while but I am sure that where ever he is, he is thinking about you.

 

I would also greatly appreciate if you could say hi to little Rin and Shippou for me! I cannot wait to see you at the Youkai Winter Ball next week. We are going to have so much fun. Tell your Sesshomarou to come prepared. I know I will be.

 

With all my love, Naraku.

 

 

Kagura's usually pale skin looked even paler than usual. She was shaking and felt sick. Her head started spinning and she felt nauseous.

 

Sesshomarou was enraged but it only showed through his now blood red eyes, he wanted to smash something, anything, but one look at Kagura calmed him down. She needed him, she looked like she was about to either faint or get sick at any time.

 

He wondered how much more of Naraku's twisted mental games Kagura could take before breaking down completely. As if it was not enough that he harmed Miroku, and left her to blame herself? Before hurting her physically, which Sesshomarou would never allow, did Naraku just want to see her psychologically suffer by seeing people she cared about getting hurt because of her?

 

Kagura panicked and without thinking stood up abruptly and walked towards the door, she thought `I can't stay here, I need to get away. Oh my God Naraku found me!'

 

She was then stopped by a strong hand grabbing her arm. She turned around and her shocked crimson eyes met soothing golden orbs. As if he could hear her thoughts he said in his deep and comforting voice:

 

“Kagura, I will never let Naraku hurt you in any way!” Sesshomarou exclaimed on a determined tone.

 

Then seeing her lower her gaze from his golden eyes to the ground, he scooped her chin in two clawed fingers and forced her to look in his eyes. Sesshomarou could care less if Kagura and him were not alone in the room. He looked straight in her eyes and asked “do you believe me?”

 

The wind sorceress looked like she was going to cry and said on a low voice “but he will hurt Rin and Shippou and…”

 

“This Sesshomarou shall never allow it? Do you believe me?” He interrupted, then seeing her nod shyly the demon lord let her go.

 

Kagura smiled a little and turned around saying “I think I'll go to bed”. Skipping dinner, she then walked away and went straight to bed.

 

As soon as Kagura was out of hearing range Sesshomarou let his anger out. He punched the wall with all his strength which caused the entire room to shake and left a large dent in the defenseless wall. As he calmed down a little he growled more than screamed “Jaken!”

 

The little imp ran to his master sheer terror registered in his eyes “Yes master Sesshomarou?”

 

Forcing himself to calm down some more Sesshomarou breathed deeply and closed his eyes in order to get them to regain their amber color. After a few seconds he asked “who delivered this letter” he pointed at the offending piece of purple paper lying on the table.

 

“A postman delivered it. He was just a young human. I had no idea please forgive me Milord! He said that it was an express delivery.” The old servant answered still bowing.

 

“I see, Sango go to the post office and gather as much information as you can. Knowing Naraku you probably won't find anything, but it is worth trying”.

 

The demon slayer got up and said “I'll do my best lord Sesshomarou”.

 

Inuyasha was really pissed that Naraku dared to taunt them and the fact that he threatened his son was unforgivable. So he asked his older brother “what about me? What can I do?”

 

Turning around to look straight at the younger half demon Sesshomarou answered “take care of Kagome and get ready for next week, for you and I will finally get the earth rid of Naraku”.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Kagura snapped her eyes open, looking through the window she could tell it was not near dawn. As she wondered why she had woken up in the middle of the night, which she never did, she took a second to appreciate how comfortable she was. Sesshomarou had somehow manage to hold her as close as possible without waking her up or disturbing her in any way. She had to admit that ever since she moved into Sesshomarou's mansion, the nightmares she used to have about Naraku simply vanished. It was as if the demon Lord could keep them away by simply being near her.

 

Just as she was about to relax in his arms and fall back asleep, the wind sorceress felt a strange sensation in her stomach. It did not feel like the heartburn she usually got or the morning sickness she was plagued with during her first three months of pregnancy. Casting that aside she carefully got out of bed without waking up Sesshomarou.

 

As she walked to the bathroom, the pain in her stomach grew and by the time she got in the room and closed the door, the pain was so unbearable that she had to hold on to a towel rack in order not to fall.

 

To the wind wielder's horror she felt something warm running down her right leg and as she looked down to the brand new night gown she got herself during her shopping trip with Inuyasha, she saw a growing blood stain.

 

She almost screamed but her voice could not come out of her throat as the pain was too much, the wind witch then fell to her knees and protectively put her hand on her belly as she kept muttering “No! Not my baby please, not my baby”.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

Sesshomarou opened his eyes and woke up to the unfamiliar feeling of not having Kagura sleeping on his chest. He had to admit that he had become quite accustomed to the feeling of her raven tresses resting on his pale bare chest. As he took in some air he smelt one thing that he dreaded: Kagura's blood.

 

He jumped out of the bed and following his senses ran to the bathroom. As he opened the door his eyes opened wide in shock, his wind sorceress was laying on the floor barely conscious and bleeding. Not wasting anytime the demon lord scooped his lover in his arms and only taking a second to grab his wallet and cell phone, a shirt for him and a coat for her he ran downstairs.

 

After tucking Kagura in the coat, the demon lord changed into his light orb form. In a few minutes they arrived in front of General Hospital.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

As they arrived at the front desk, Sesshomarou said to the woman at the desk “I need a doctor fast!”

 

Seeing Kagura in his arms the young woman who appeared to be exhausted answered “is your wife in labor?”

 

“No something's wrong it is too early. And she was bleeding.” the demon lord tried to speak as calmly as possible, even if he was far from being calm. He was really getting annoyed by the receptionist, but he did not correct her when she called Kagura his wife.

 

The young woman who's name tag read Eri took the phone and said “paging Dr Yuka for an emergency”. As she hung up she gestured at a young brown haired woman to come. The other one getting the hint brought a wheel chair for Kagura who was slowly regaining consciousness.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

By the time she completely opened her eyes Kagura noticed she was in a hospital bed, a young nurse in pink scrubs who was chewing gum too loudly for comfort was taking her blood pressure.

 

Seeing that her patient had finally awoken the brown haired young woman said “I'm nurse Ayumi, Dr Yuka will be here any second. And your husband just left, he had to fill in some paperwork”.

 

Kagura barely had time to wonder who Ayumi was referring to as her husband that to her relief Sesshomarou came inside. The usually clean cut and proper demon lord looked like hell. His hair was in a messy braid, he was wearing a wrinkled shirt over his pajama bottoms and was wearing shoes without socks.

 

The wind sorceress would have laughed at his appearance but the pain in her stomach came back slightly. She whimpered softly and in a flash Sesshomarou was beside her, holding her right hand in his and gently stroking her hair with his left hand.

 

“Ma'am your blood pressure is too high, you need to calm down. Maybe you could help your wife relax sir. I'll go get Dr Yuka right away.” Without another word nurse Ayumi ran out of the room.

 

Sighing deeply Kagura looked up to a pair of worried golden eyes and asked in a voice barely above a whisper “Sesshy what happened?”

 

“I found you on the bathroom floor, you were bleeding. So I brought you to General Hospital.” He answered on the gentlest voice she ever heard him use as he continuously stroked her hair.

 

Kagura tears escaped Kagura's eyes, more of fear than because she was in pain, through her sobs Sesshomarou could hear “I don't want to lose my baby”.

 

He hugged her at best he could and said “you won't. You have to calm down now”.

 

“Your husband is right” another brown haired woman who just came in said. She was holding a clipboard in her right hand. She continued “I am Dr Lee Yuka but call me Yuka.”

 

Glancing down at her clipboard than meeting Kagura's awaiting and frightened gaze she said “looking at your chart, based on the results of the blood work and urinalysis, except for your high blood pressure there's nothing to be really worried about”.

 

“But what about the bleeding” Sesshomarou asked.

 

“I was coming to that. It is good that you came directly to the hospital, because vaginal bleeding can mean an early labor or a miscarriage” hearing Kagura gasp loudly the doctor quickly added “but it appears that it is not the case here.”

 

At these words Sesshomarou released the breath he did not know he was holding. He then redirected his focus to the doctor once more as she resumed talking

 

“Kagura are you observing a balanced diet? Maybe you're no getting enough sleep? Or have you been stressed out lately?”

 

At the last question, Kagura almost snorted, but since she could not tell the doctor that her psychotic ex was trying to kill her and hurt as many people close to her as possible, she simply frowned.

 

The expression on the wind sorceress's face told Dr Yuka everything she needed to know. She then took some pamphlets from under her clipboard and handed them to Kagura. “Okay then, take a look at these when you get home. And try to take it easy”.

 

Nurse Ayumi then came back in holding a hospital gown. “Dr Yuka everything's ready downstairs”.

 

Seeing Kagura's questioning gaze the doctor said “just to be sure that your baby's okay I ordered an emergency ultrasound. Now all you have to do is change in this gown, and nurse Ayumi will lead you two downstairs.”

 

The doctor then left the room along with the nurse who assured them she'll be right outside.

 

As Sesshomarou went towards the door he heard Kagura said barely above a whisper “Sessh don't leave.” `Please I need you by my side' she mentally added.

 

He turned around and gently said “There is no reason to worry. I shall be right back, I am just going to make a phone call to Inuyasha. I need to tell him we are at the hospital, otherwise who knows what that imbecile might do. I will also tell him to bring clothes for us.”

 

“Can't you call from here on your cell phone?” the wind sorceress asked.

 

“It is against hospital regulations”

 

“And since when does the great taiyoukai and Lord of the Western Lands Sesshomarou Inuyoukai follow regulations?” she asked smirking.

 

Hearing her words, Sesshomarou could not refrain himself from grinning “You are right wind witch”. He then took out his cell phone.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

From the moment she changed in the hospital gown until now Kagura had not let go of Sesshomarou's hand, and he did not seem to mind. The wind sorceress was now lying on her back as Dr Yuka moved a transducer on her swollen abdomen.

 

After a few minutes of silence the doctor exclaimed “Everything's perfect! A nice steady heartbeat and foetus movement, good really good.”

 

Then pointing at the screen she said “the bright white circle right here is the head, see the baby's facing us. Let's see over here we have the right ear, and there we have the right hand covering the baby's eyes. Looks like he's a little shy...”

 

“He?” Kagura cut her.

 

“Well I'm not sure I just said `he'. But if you want we can find out the sex of the baby.” Then looking at Sesshomarou she continued on a distorted high pitched voice “does daddy wants to know if he's having a little princess or a firefighter?”

 

At the moment the demon lord's patience with the doctor was wearing very thin. The sole reason being that for some unknown reason, Dr Yuka insisted on using baby talk when talking to him.

 

Looking at his sharpened claws, Sesshomarou wondered if he could get away with murder. But as he looked down at Kagura's shinning and expecting red eyes he said “it is your decision to make”

 

The wind sorceress smiled brightly and said “I want to know”

 

After a minute of silence Yuka finally said “I'm getting good at this, looks like my hunch was right. You are going to be the proud parents of a little boy!”

 

Kagura was beaming and as she looked up she noticed that even Sesshomarou was smiling. He would have never expected to have such conflicting feelings. On the one hand he knew that it was Naraku's offspring she was carrying but on the other hand he could not help himself from being happy and relived that both Kagura and the child were okay.

 

The feeling that confused him the most was the fatherly pride he felt every time he looked at the small screen. It was the same warm feeling he had every time Rin did something funny, smart, and cute or when he would simply watch her sleep peacefully.

 

Dr Yuka interrupted their little musing as she asked “would you like to get a picture of the baby?”

 

Seeing Kagura nodding, she printed several small images and handed them to her. The doctor then said. Well, you can go home now and rest. Just remember whatever's stressing you out Kagura you've got to take care of it.”

 

“Do not worry, by the same time next week this Sesshomarou will already have taken care of it” he said on a cold tone, with red tinted golden eyes.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

 

 

“You really scared us, you know!” Kagome said as she lay on the white sheets in Sesshomarou's bedroom next to Kagura. The young priestess had regained all of her energy. She then continued “Inuyasha told me that he had never seen his brother so worried…”

 

“Hum, I guess so…” the wind sorceress answered. It's not like she minded talking about what happened the day before but she was a little tired and very confused.

 

Kagura had seen a new side of Sesshomarou and now she wondered if her inner demon was right and that he could see himself as her baby's father. Kagura had realized some time ago that she had deep feelings for the demon lord, but she refused to take their involvement to the next level by voicing the three words that can never be taken back.

 

The only reason for her reluctance was that she did not want to impose fatherhood on him, especially when the child she was carrying was none other then the offspring of his sworn enemy. Could Sesshomarou see the child as his, or would he always be a remainder of Naraku?

 

“Aww! Is that what I think it is?” Kagome's cheerful voice somehow managed to get through Kagura's clouded mind. As the demoness looked up she realized that Kagome held the pictures of the baby that Dr Yuka gave her earlier.

 

“Yeah, I'm having a boy!” Kagura announced. She then continued caressing her distended abdomen “it really is an incredible feeling when you realize that you have a life growing inside you. I mean I'm having a baby, a baby boy. But you must know what I'm talking about right?”

 

Seeing Kagome's surprised facial expression Kagura pressed “I'm sure you felt the same when you were pregnant with Shippou.”

 

“Oh no. You don't know do you? Inuyasha and I adopted Shippou”

 

“WHAT!! But he has Inuyasha's silver hair and amber eyes. He even smells like the both of you”.

 

“I know, well what really happened is that…”

 

 

 

To be continued…

 

 

 

A/N: Enough, that was a long chapter! My fingers are crying for mercy…Wonder how they turned Shippou into their son…? Don't miss the next chapter Brother blues where Sesshy and Yasha have some brother bonding.

 

By the way based on Saphira's rough outline (talking about myself at the third person again) there should be around 9 or 10 chapters before the end of the story!
