Kagome walked into Sesshomaru's chambers to see him sitting silently on the futon in what seemed to be a meditation. The redness on his cheek quickly fading away. Quietly she walked over and sat in front of him trying not to break his concentration. She inhaled deeply to rest her own nerves and relax. When she opened her eyes he was staring at her.

 

“Did you love her?” Kagome asked trying to comfort him. She became bewildered when a smirk appeared on his lips and she almost fell over when he broke into a laugh. Thinking that he had finally lost his mind she went to inch away put he quickly grabbed her wrist.

 

“I loathe that woman. So jealous, she had even threatened Rin for standing to close to me one day.” Sesshomaru replied as his laughter died down.

 

“Um, are you okay? You were all sad and ready to burst into tears…”she went silent when he started to snicker again and rose from the futon to walk over opening the sliding door that led to his private garden.

 

“I was tired Kagome.” He said and looked over his shoulder. “Benumbed and listless.”

 

“Are you trying to say that you were bored?” She said moving to his side.

 

“You see when I first found out about the potion I was most distraught. However when others learned of my condition it was most amusing.” He said turning to face her.

 

“Amusing? You're screwing with them.” Kagome whispered in acknowledgment.

 

“Yes, I haven't had fun like this since before my father died. Inuyasha could traipse all over the countryside when he came of age, but I was informed that I would be mated to a jealous abusive demoness. I did take her to my bed, but I had more fun with my hand than her.” Sesshomaru said as her eyes widened at his words.

 

“So that whole dying thing was a lie? The fever and the whimpering?” She asked.

 

“I can raise my temperature to whatever I want. That is why I am never cold and whimpers are nothing compared to that crying act. Yes, the healer had informed me that there was a chance that I could die if you did not return. A very slim chance as it was.”

 

“What was that crap in the woods and all the crying?” She asked sliding to the floor.

 

“I had to be convincing in front of Inuyasha and Naraku's spies. You should have seen him when I first cried on his shoulder. Inuyasha was trembling terrified. I had to transform and get away just to laugh at him. This is the first time that I have been able to speak freely.” Sesshomaru said sitting beside her.

 

“You destroyed my way home.” She growled lowly at him.

 

“You deserved that for running out on your child.” He said raising a brow at her.

 

“Maybe, but I will never see my family again.” She said sadly.

 

“Of course you will. You are the guardian of the jewel. I have no idea where that wish nonsense came from. When it was inside of you did you never say `I wish' for anything?” He asked as she pondered what he was saying to her.

 

“I never thought about it.” She said finally thinking to every silly wish she had muttered

 

“Now, what do you say we finish this mating?” He asked with a gleam in his eye.

 

“You're a…you're a very bad person.” Kagome spat out as he laughed tilting his head.

 

“I think the word you were searching for was demon and yes you are correct.”

 

“You asshole! I should purify you!” She said jumping to her feet.

 

“That would look really bad Kagome. I am pregnant with your child after all. As a matter of fact if you don't play along I am afraid I might have to burst into tears and run to my brother or perhaps my cousins.” Sesshomaru said pulling her back down to the floor.

 

“This whole thing has been a giant game to you even before the pregnancy. Naraku and Inuyasha are your way of avoiding the palace and growing up.” She sputtered.

 

“Very good as long as Naraku is a threat then I am free to seek out his destruction for the good of the land. Do you not think that if I truly wanted Naraku dead he would not be dead? Inuyasha is no longer a threat as long as he holds my father's sword. If I truly wanted him removed from this world I would have done it when he was taking a fifty-year nap. The search for my father's sword was my first way of escaping” Sesshomaru said as Kagome's mind flooded with so many questions.

 

“You knew that you wouldn't kill me in the tomb. You knew about the barrier.” She said waggling her finger at him as he nodded a yes.

 

“You son of a bitch.” She whispered as he once again nodded yes. Kagome went silent for awhile as he sat besides her watching for any reaction.

 

“Who are you really?” Kagome asked officially bewildered by the demon before her.

 

“If you play along you will find out.” He said resting his head against the wall.

 

“Not like I have a choice, but I want answers to questions.” She said firmly

 

“Ask.” He said

 

“If your mother is alive doesn't that mean your father cheated on your mother?”

 

“Yes, He had a weakness for women. I am surprised I only have one half brother.” Sesshomaru replied thinking to all the females his father had been with.

 

“So, What kind of punishment did he receive?” Kagome asked remembering the terrible things that his family had wanted to do to her and were still plotting.

 

“Nothing.” Sesshomaru said breaking her train thought.

 

“What the hell!?” Kagome said jumping to her feet.

 

“There was no one that could rival his power to enforce the punishment.” Sesshomaru said looking up to her.

 

“You better make them realized that I am not going to follow along with any punishment. You know, I didn't think you had a mother.” Kagome giggled as Sesshomaru gave her an incredulous look of `I didn't just appear.'

 

“I already told you not to worry about it.” Sesshomaru sighed

 

“Hey, How exactly are you going to give birth anyway?” Kagome asked looking at him.

 

“It will be removed.” He replied smoothly as he examined his nails.

 

“I'm sorry. When you say remove, how are they going to remove it?” Kagome asked

 

“When the time comes the pup will be cut from me.” He shrugged as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

 

“Yeah we will see how nonchalant you are about it when the time comes.” She muttered

 

“I have been in pain before.” He said and watched as she began to chuckle at him.
