Sesshoumaru and Akanesuji collapsed faces down into the bedding, her kimonos pushed up around her armpits and to one side. Shaking her head she cleared her mind. She rubbed her eyes and rapidly ran for the small adjoining room used for bathing. She slammed the door as her mind raced about what to do next. She had to get the liquid out of her or she would likely become pregnant.

 

A bucket of fresh water sat near a small hearth with a ladle and body brush. Plain cotton towels hung from a peg in the wall. Throwing everything off of her she laid on her back and awkwardly rinsed as best she could. Sesshoumaru could hear it all. The water sloshing, the frantic movements, the hurried breaths. Akanesuji was beginning to panic. The truth of it was, so was he.

 

“Are you alright in there?” he called to her from the other side of the door.

 

Akanesuji cleared her throat. “Fine. I'm fine.” She lied. Her voice was shaky.

 

“Open the door.”

 

“I'll be out a minute or two.”

 

“I said open the door.” he commanded.

 

“No. I'll be out in a minute.”

 

There was a since of urgency, though there was no real reason why. She could handle this much better than he could. There was little he could do, but for some reason, he wanted her. He wanted to comfort her, to console her. To cherish her again and again.

 

There was that word again. Was it so bad?

 

He could cherish a fine blade or a fine horse. He could cherish a book or even Rin. But could he cherish Akanesuji? He rubbed his face and pinched the bridge of his nose. Anxiously he paced the room.

 

Akanesuji pulled herself together and opened the door, her clothes rumpled around her and drawn closed. He took her into his arms and ushered her back to the bed where they both stared at the large wet spot in the middle. They knew what it meant. All she could do was turn her head away.

 

“I,” came out of his mouth. “I” came out again.

 

Turning to look into his golden eyes, Akanesuji put her hand on his cheek. “I know.”

 

“No” he said angrily. “You don't know.”

 

“Sesshoumaru.” she whispered. “I know because you have never stuttered before.”

 

Taking her close to him he rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. After a few moments he laid down and had her cuddle next to him, her head he placed on his shoulder. “When will we know?” he asked.

 

Akanesuji closed her eyes and thought about it. “Maybe by the end of the month. Maybe the month after. Mother told me when I was younger that we would just know.”

 

“I know it Akanesuji.” he whispered. “Deep in my gut, I just know.”

 

“Me too.” Akanesuji covered her head with a quilt. “There goes my plan for world domination.”
