Chapter Eight

No one moved fast enough to help the stupid youkai female. One moment she was smiling and the next she was laying on the floor twitching. Screams flew down the hallway as the humans watched Kagome bend down and whisper something into the girls ear. Only the youkai heard the sinister words.

"I warned you. Next time I won't hold back." Respect shone from the eyes of some of the male youkai. This supposedly frail human had not only acted like one of their own, but she had also protected her child with a feirce basic instinct that only youkai contained. She showed pity where a youkai would not have.

The teachers came running to see what was wrong. What they found shocked them. Several huge, and known to be deadly, young men were surrounding Kagome. Each one had a hand on her stomach as they made sure she hadn't hurt herself. The other young woman was out cold on the floor. No one had moved to help her. Not even the ones who agreed with her. They were too afraid of getting purified by the hormonal miko.

After the class was over Kagome was told to go to the offices upstairs. She knew what was coming. The teachers had obviously figured out what had happened and were sending her to the board meeting upstairs to get expelled. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same moment.

She waddled towards the elevator and stepped carefully inside. Once the doors closed she centered in on her thoughts. On one hand she wanted to finish college. She didn't have all that much left. This year would be her last. On the other hand she wanted desperately to give her child a normal life and childhood. She wouldn't be able to do that if she was at college during it's first few months.

She knew that she had full rights to the money Inuyasha had saved. Sesshomaru had contacted a lawyer and found that Inuyasha had left everything to his mate, Kagome. Thanks to youkai customs she was considered married because of the silver marking on the back of her neck. So she would have the money to care for their child and herself easily for the rest of their lives. She knew it was just her pride that kept her enrolled at the moment.

She sighed then took a deep breath as she stepped out of the elevator. A secretary, obviously youkai, started to smile then dropped it as her eyes took in the swollen form and the shifted scent Kagome contained. Her eyes were filled with scorn as she nodded to her then picked up the phone.

"Mr.Shinobi? Mrs. Taisho is here to see you." The woman smiled tightly as she replaced the receiver and spoke quietly. "You may go in now." She turned her attention immediately back to her paperwork without giving Kagome a second glance.

Kagome smiled slightly as she muttered a quiet thank you. Though plainly obvious about her discust, the secretary had been as kind as possible. Kagome was very grateful for that small service. Whether it was from the job or her true personality she didn't care. All she knew was that the woman had not sneered or made some comment and for that she was thankful. She turned to the only other door in the space and walked softly to it. Once she reached it she took another deep breath then stepped inside.

The room was almost completely empty. She blinked as she inspected the room. It wasn't filled with older men and women as she had expected. Only two people filled a couple of the large chairs. One she knew as Mr.Shinobi. The other was none other than her favorite brother-in-law. She walked slowly towards the quietly speaking men as she tried to rebuild her smashed plans.

Both men turned to her and stood until she had taken a seat. Once she was comfortable they both turned to study her. She wanted to wiggle under the stern looks but she controlled it. They obviously had been discussing her. Now the only question wa what they were planning on doing.

She was so deep in her thoughts that she almost jumped when Sesshomaru spoke. "Because of your little stunt this morning Mr.Shinobi has decided to let you take classes online. Apparently they don't allow their students to be purified while in class." One dark brow lifted as he looked at her. Mr.Shinobi laughed silently to himself at the young miko's obvious defiance of the youkai lord. As much as he wanted to see what would happen next he still needed to inform the student of her currently changed schedule.

"Don't worry Mrs.Taisho although you are now going to be taking your classes differently you are still enrolled here. We understand your...unusual...situation and are quite sorry we had not realised the implications of that situation." He bowed slightly to Sesshomaru before smiling at her. He pushed his glasses up his nose as he shifted through a pile of papers on his desk.

After an hour long 'discussion' on her new classes and their qualifications she and Sesshomaru left the school. Kagome kept to herself as she was led to a black mercedes

Kagome sat still in the doctor's office waiting room. Sesshomaru was skimming through a baby magazine as he studiously ignored the looks he was getting. Most of the woman in the room were holding their bellies as they stared at the silver haired Inu youkai. Kagome couldn't help but smile at the picture he made. The bored expression on his face changed as she studied him. His eyes stopped and actually read one of the stories inside.

She almost laughed outright as he huffed and grumbled about 'idiotic humans' and their 'simple ways'. She grabbed the magazine from him to read what had him so riled. He never showed much emotion let alone grumble about something.

Once her eyes had zeroed in on the story she skimmed through it. It was about a woman and how excited she was when she first felt the baby move. Her emotional connection to the child within and so on. Not knowing why he thought it was stupid she gave him a questioning glance. He shifted his eyebrow indicating she better not ask now. The young miko opened her mouth anyways but was stopped when a tiny woman called out her name.

They both stood to their feet and followed the nurse down a long hallway and were left in a rather large room. From the look of the equipment it was the ultrasound room. Kagome sat on the recliner looking chair and waited. Sesshomaru was covering his nose with one delicate hand as the smell of the anticeptics hit his sensitive nostrils. Her slight giggle did not go unnoticed. He turned to her and gave her another of his dark looks. She ignored it and studied the rest of the room.

Not long later the door swung open to reveal a very tiny woman in a bright yellow scrub. The doctor never looked up from the charts as she moved to stand beside Kagome.

"Hello. I'm Dr.Aso. You asked for one of our special forms so I am assuming that the father is a youkai?" Dr.Aso smiled at her clipboard as she continued speaking. "Because of this I will be the only doctor you will see. I will also be doing all of your ultrasounds. Not many people feel comfortabble around youkai. Since our last specialty doctor moved I am the only one at the time who has the correct qualifications." Her smile never faltered as she looked up from her chart. She shook Kagome's hand before turning to Sesshomaru. His bored look was firmly in place.

The perky young woman grinned mischieviously before she went to a small box on the long counter and pulled out a blue mask. She stepped up beside the tai youkai and handed it to him. "You can stay in here if you want but you will want to put on this mask. If the smell isn't killing you know it soon will be." Her wink ripped the bored expression completely off Sesshomaru's face. He blinked at the brash human, but did not put on the mask she had supplied. Kagome tried desperately not to laugh at the scene. The great demon lord obviously never had to deal with people like Dr.Aso.

After Kagome laid down on the reclining chair Dr.Aso winked at her as she opened one of the blue bottles. She carefully rubbed the goo over Kagome's belly before taking her scanner and pressing it gently onto her growing belly. Kagome studied the screen carefully as a small form appeared. Tiny arms and legs were already apparent. She felt tears prickling her eyes as the body moved and shifted. Dr. Aso smiled as she tried to get a better view of the wiggling child. She measured the child carefully. Making sure all the body parts where growing appropriately. She took pictures of the profile and full body to give to Kagome. After a moment she felt a warm body come up behind her. A long, pale hand moved over her shoulder to tap the screen with a single claw. A deep muffled voice made chills shoot down her spine. At least he had put on the mask she had given him. She would have jumped out of her skin if his breath had brushed against her neck.

"Can you see whether the child is male or female yet?" She had to gulp before she replied. So much for being proffesional. "I can't yet but I'm sure your senses can pick up on it already can't they?" He grunted slightly as he nodded. The arm dissapeared from her view and she breathed a sigh of relief. His presence was too distracting.

"Yes I can. I'm not sure the miko would believe me though." Dr. Aso almost laughed outright as Kagome shot him a huge smile. "You can tell? What is it?" She clapped her hands together as if she was being told the best secret in the world. Sesshomaru merely looked at her for a moment. Once Kagome realised he wasn't going to give her the answer her smile dropped and she glared at him. "Sesshmaru. I will purify your ass if you don't tell me right now!" She almost hissed the words at the indifferent man. Dr. Aso watched on in amazement as he merely studied her for a moment longer. Finally turning to the doctor sesshomaru spoke again.

"This is another thing we need to discuss with you. She has been acting quite out of character lately. Purifying people, threatening them, cussing is a new one though." The obvious avoidance made the young mother huff as she glared at him. If it hadn't been for the mask Dr.Aso would have seen the slight smile he gave her. Sesshomaru turned back to his angry sister-in-law. He took a paper towel and wiped Kagome clean of the offending goo. He then pressed his nose into her belly and sniffed carefully. He stayed that way for a moment before sniffing again.

He stood back up and shook his head. "I will have to teach him how to use Tetsaiga the proper way." Both woman were quiet for a moment before Kagome burst into tears. "It's a boy?" She rubbed her stomach as she mumbled something Dr.Aso missed. Sesshomaru swallowed the emotion that surged to the surface as he listened to Kagome.

"Inuyasha. We have a son my love. Our son."
