"And you're sure you'll be fine?" Sango and Miroku were a bit worried leaving Kagome to go shard hunting. Inuyasha insisted they keep with it even now. He knew she would be all right even if he too was a bit worried, though he wouldn't admit it.

"I'll be fine! Really Sango. Besides, we cleared the demons from this area long ago. With no attacks what else could go wrong? You'll be here for the birth so we'll worry about that when we get to it. Plus your making me nervous." They shared a laugh as Sango climbed onto Kirara.

The weeks leading up to the birth went by slowly. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango went out shard hunting with instructions from Kagome, who's miko powers were growing and becoming unstable. She could sense what direction it was in and a general location of where it was on the youkai though nothing else. It was a huge help and the gang was able to locate quite a few more shards than they would be able to without her help in this.

It was during the first week at Kaede's hut that Kagome began to show. At first it was a slightly bigger bulge in her stomach but by the second week she was there it had grown to double the size it was. With only a week to go before she was due, Kagome was, as she liked to put it, as big as a house. She stayed in bed most of that time and her energy seemed to be drained constantly, though Shippou was always there to help her with anything she needed. Her miko powers were settling down and she could no longer sense the shards with such clarity. So the gang had stayed with her during the last week. Despite the fact that they had no guidance to locate the shards they were all worried about her and didn't want to miss the birth.

They all fussed over her that last week. She would smile sweetly and tell them that everything was fine.

Now, however, she was not fine. She screamed as another contraction hit her hard. Sweat rolled off her face and down her neck. She panted as Sango wiped the hair from her face. She gripped Inuyasha's hand as Kaede moved about the room preparing blankets and such for the arrival of the new baby.

Kagome screamed as pain filled her being. A white light shot through her mind as a second scream echoed in the room. "Rei." Kagome had said once she caught her breath. "His name is Rei Tsuki." Kaede, eyes wide, placed the baby in her arms. Kagome smiled gently as she pulled back the cover. "He. He's a demon. I-I mean he.he isn't a hanyou?" Kagome looked into her child's eyes amazed.

Kagome looked up to Inuyasha, "I don't get it."

He too was staring at the child who blinked at them innocently. "Kagome, you are a miko. I have never seen nor heard of a demon and a miko mating before. Perhaps your powers did this?" He tore his eyes from the child to look at her.

"This is very likely. We can not say for certain however. But if you ever encounter Sesshoumaru he might have the answers. Kagome is not familiar with all the ceremonies and he may have done something unbeknownst to her." Kaede spoke quietly as she thought on it. It was very likely that that is what had happened but they couldn't be sure at the moment.

"It matters not. For I'll love him no matter what he is. He is my `spirit of the moon'. My Rei Tsuki."

 

~~~3 Years Later

 

"DAMMIT! It's one problem after another! Find her, now!" Sesshoumaru's voice rang clear throughout his study. Jaken, trembling in fear in front of his master, bowed quickly before leaving. These days all he heard of was village after village being attacked. Naraku was constantly there, hiding, just beyond his reach. Sesshoumaru's murderous thoughts at the hanyou had, on more than one occasion, led him into a rage.

It was a couple of months after the last time he had seen his mate when he realized who it was causing his problems. The coward would stop at nothing to bring about the destruction of Sesshoumaru. And he was hot on Kagome's trail, keeping her in his grasp, to hang over Sesshoumaru's head. He hated being weak and hated even more when he was used. Yet he would not let any harm come to her. He couldn't.

A knock on his door broke him from his thoughts. "What is it?" He growled out.

"Tis your brother M'Lord. He is quickly approaching your borders as is his companions. What would you have me do, M'Lord?"

Ahh, yes. His brother. He had gotten quite a few visits from him since the incident three years ago. Inuyasha would storm in, demanding he hurry and 'find the fool that dared mess with his family so he could kick some ass'. He considered Kagome a sister now and protected her more fiercely than ever. He could see it in his eyes. Inuyasha would berate Sesshoumaru for making her suffer, causing her to wait for him. He tried giving him a guilt trip one time, describing in full detail her agony filled sobs and broken spirit. That was the one and only time Sesshoumaru had lashed out at his brother since he had mated Kagome. His eyes had glowed red a second, shocking Inuyasha who backed off immediately.

Not that he could blame him for what he said. He had a link with Kagome like no other and could feel her pain manifest in him physically. It was sometimes too much to bear and he would have one of his healers bring him a special herbal tea to soothe the pains. Sometimes he managed to calm her pain by exuberating a sense of calm. However, for the first year he couldn't seem to get through to her. He knew how she cried herself to sleep each night, could feel the pain in her so real, and the proof usually showed itself on his cheeks. He had cried for her.

"M'Lord?"

"Send in Haku and Tauski. I will speak to them on this matter."

"Yes, M'Lord."

A few moments later two men entered the room entered the room. Tasuki, the taller one, had flaming orange hair sticking out at odd places, and golden eyes. He was a fire youkai and very rough looking. He wore the garb of a warrior and had two swords strapped across his back, along with a strange metal fan strapped to his side. The shorter one, Haku, had light blue hair, almost white, that was cut just above his shoulders. His appearance wasn't as rough as his companions but the water spirit was no less fierce in battle. His attire was that of a village boy with blue hakamas and a white and light blue haori.

"Tauski, Haku, I have an important task for you." As he explained the situation he made it clear that they were only there to assist if need be and to protect from afar. "Leave them be but if I find out if even one hair on their heads were damaged I'll have yours." Sesshoumaru gave them a look that left no room for arguing and promptly dismissed them after making sure they understood perfectly. The two bowed and left.

A/N I do not own Tauski or Haku! Tauski is from this great anime called Fushigi Yugi and Haku is from an anime movie called Spirited Away. Tasuki isn't really a demon in his anime but I couldn't think of names and for the character I wanted to portray he was perfect. Haku is actually a river gaudian in his own anime and is actually very gentle, but he was the only other person I could think of. And don't worry he will stay true to his character as well. I have a little plan working. The wheels in my head are turning so be afraid! MUAHAHAHAHA! ...*cough cough* Right....
