Mood Swings

 

 

___-----_____---- 6 months later ___---____---

 

Sesshoumaru walked down the hall rubbing his ears. All he did was walk in on her and she just about screamed his ears off, not to mention a few well aimed objects at his head. He sighed and rubbed the side of his forehead, he was sure that there was a red mark there. He just couldn't seem to do anything right. All he had to do is say one word and she would bust out in tears, he didn't even have to do anything and she would still start crying. She even blamed him once for making her pregnant. As he turned down the hall he stopped to see Dante walking down the hall carrying a crying Itaru.

 

Dante stopped and looked at Sesshoumaru, noticing the mark on his head “What did you say to her this time?” he smirked

 

“I didn't say anything” Sesshoumaru said

 

“Then what did you do?” Dante asked shifting Itaru as he began to calm down.

 

“I walked into our room” the demon Lord grumbled.

 

“What was she doing?” Dante continued to question.

 

“She was changing” Sesshoumaru moved his hand up to touch the mark on his head.

 

Dante couldn't help but laugh “And she hit you with something too it seems.”

 

“A brush” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“Well” Dante laughed “I know how you feel. The crying, the screaming, the unusual food cravings, objects flying across the room” he reached up and rubbed the back of his head “I think I still have the scar where the case hit me.”

 

Sesshoumaru merely stood and watched Dante. He was too busy talking to notice anything.

 

“And anything you say can make them cry at any moment” Dante continued “Mood swings are the worst. I'll tell you…” he stopped for a moment and looked at Sesshoumaru “She's standing right behind me, isn't she?”

 

Sesshoumaru simply gave a slight nod of his head.

 

Dante turned around and smiled nervously at Erika who was standing behind him with her arms crossed in front of her, tapping her foot. She glared at him, waiting for him to say something and it had better be good.

 

Letting out a nervous laugh Dante began to slowly back up, shifting Itaru in his arms “I'm going to go now, before I get hit with another vase” quickly he turned around and took off around the corner.

 

“He'll be sleeping on the floor tonight” Erika said as she moved closer to Sesshoumaru.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded “I might be as well.”

 

Erika laughed softly “Go talk to her, she won't be mad or long.”

 

“She might throw something at me again” Sesshoumaru said.

 

“I would talk to her but it would mean a lot more to her if you did it yourself” Erika smiled “Remember, she's carrying around your son and its not the most thrilling thing in the world, trust me, I know.”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded “I'll go talk to her.”

 

“Good” Erika smiled.

 

Erika gave a small bow and Sesshoumaru nodded then headed down the hall. Hopefully he'll make it out of there alive.

 

When Sesshoumaru arrived at his room rather then walking in like he normally would he knocked on the door. Hearing no answer he frowned and knocked again. Again there was no answer. Quietly he cracked the door open.

 

“Kagome?” he asked.

 

Getting no answer her opened the door the rest of the way and walked in. He looked around the room and spotted Kagome out on the balcony, resting against the railing with one hand lightly resting on her swollen stomach. His eyes softened as he watched her stand contently on the balcony, looking out at the scenery, a light breeze blowing through her hair. Quietly he walked over to the door of the balcony and leaned against the frame. Kagome gave a small yawn then looked down at her stomach. Lazily she traced light circles over her swollen bulge. Sesshoumaru straightened up and moved over to Kagome, gently wrapping his arms around her. Kagome jumped slightly and turned to look at him.

 

“Sesshou” She smiled then leaned against him.

 

Resting his head on her shoulder he nuzzled her neck “Gomen” he whispered in her ear “For walking in on you earlier.”

 

Kagome smiled “Sorry about hitting your head” she turned around in his arms and reached up, lightly touching the read mark on his head.

 

“It's alright” Sesshoumaru said and kissed her forehead.

 

“I just had to get out of the kimono” Kagome said “I'm more comfortable in a robe.”

 

Sesshoumaru nodded “Understandable” she placed a gentle hand on her stomach “How are you feeling today?”

 

“I'm tired, like usual” Kagome smiled, placing her hands over his.

 

Sesshoumaru started to say something but stopped when and gave Kagome a concerned look when she flinched slightly and gave a look of discomfort.

 

“The baby's kicking again” Kagome said “Here, feel” she moved his hand to the right slightly “Now just wait.”

 

Sesshoumaru couldn't help but let out a small smile when he felt the baby kick. “He's active today” he said when he felt another kick.

 

“How do you know it's a boy?” Kagome smiled “Maybe it's a girl.”

 

“It does not matter if it's a boy or a girl, it's our child and that's all that matters” Sesshoumaru said.

 

Kagome smiled “But your hoping for a boy.”

 

Sesshoumaru smirked “Perhaps.”

 

“We'll find out soon you know” Kagome said.

 

“Hai” Sesshoumaru said “And you should be resting.”

 

“Kagome smiled “You take such good care of me.”

 

“Is that a bad thing?” Sesshoumaru asked then smirked “I would prefer my mate to be healthy when she delivers our baby.”

 

“Alright” Kagome said “I'll go lay down” she gave him a light kiss then walked back into the room and over to the bed.

 

Sesshoumaru followed behind her then propped up a few pillows and helped her sit. Kagome smiled as she laid back and Sesshoumaru moved a pillow under her legs to prop her feet up. He picked up a blanket at the foot of the bed then draped it over Kagome. Kagome closed her eyes only to open them again when there was a rapid knock on the door.

 

Sesshoumaru looked towards the door “Enter.”

 

The door quickly opened as Rin ran in “Daddy, Sota's being mean to me!” she ran behind Sesshoumaru.

 

“I was not!” Sota ran into the room.

 

“Was too!” Rin said.

 

“Was not!” Rin disagreed.

 

“Was too, you threw grass at me!” Rin pointed an accusing finger at him.

 

“Because your tripped me!” Sota called back.

 

“Only because you killed my flower!” Rin threw back.

 

Kagome rubbed the side of her head “Please, not right now…” the groaned.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome then the kids. For the past few weeks Kagome was unable to stand the two children arguing. She would try to help but always ended up crying, and then Rin would start crying. It never ended well. He bent down and picked up Rin then walked over to Sota and picked him up as well. The two instantly quieted as Sesshoumaru walked out of the room, giving Kagome the peace and quiet that she needed. Yet again, he will have to settle another argument.

Kagome frowned and snuggled closer to Sesshoumaru when a knock sounded on the door. Sesshoumaru shifted, moving an arm around Kagome content with ignoring the intruding noise. The knock came again, this time louder.

 

“Make it go away” Kagome groaned as she pulled the covers over her head, trying to block out the noise.

 

Sesshoumaru yawned and sat up, who ever it was had a death wish and he was going to full fill it now. He walked over to the door in only his pants and opened the door only to end up looking down at Rin “It's early Rin” He said “Kagome is trying to rest.”

 

“But her friends are here to see her and they have a surprise” Rin smiled.

 

“They're here?” Kagome asked as she slowly sat up in bed, having some trouble.

 

“Alright Rin” Sesshoumaru said “We'll be there in a moment.”

 

“Ok” Rin giggled then ran off.

 

Sesshoumaru closed the door and walked over to the bed “Your friends are here.”

 

Kagome smiled “Help me stand up” she moved the covers off her and slid to the edge of the bed.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded and helped her stand, raising an eyebrow when she gave an annoyed sigh.

 

“I wish the pup would hurry up and come out already” she sighed.

 

Sesshoumaru couldn't help but chuckle “Soon, Very soon.”

 

“Yes” Kagome smiled “Then we will see if we get the boy that you want.”

 

“Hai, now we should get ready” Sesshoumaru said and walked over to the closet.

 

Picking out a kimono for Kagome and clothes for him he walked back over to the bed. Kagome smiled when he handed her the kimono. It was a simple lightly weight kimono that did not require an obi, just a simple sash. This was good, now she wouldn't have to be uncomfortable all day.

 

Soon the two were dressed and made their way down the hall. When they walked into the main room they were greeted with smiles. Kagome smiled and hugged each one of her friends who returned her hug. Sesshoumaru moved to stand next to Kagome and nodded to the group. Rin and Sota stopped talking to Sango and moved over to Kagome as well.

 

“Wow Kagome, your getting big” Sango smiled “How much longer?”

 

“Soon” Kagome smiled “I'll be glad when I can actually sit and stand on my own.”

 

Rin giggled and looked at Kagome's stomach “They baby kicks a lot, mommy doesn't like it.”

 

Kagome laughed along with the group then looked at Miroku when she stepped forward. “Kagome” Miroku said “We have a surprise for you.”

 

“Really?” Kagome's smile widened “What is it?”

 

“This” Inuyasha said and stepped aside.

 

Kagome gasped and put a hand to her mouth. Standing there, were Inuyasha once stood was a little kitsune child. “Shippo…” she said quietly.

 

Shippo smiled and ran into Kagome's waiting arms “Kagome!”

 

Kagome hugged the child tightly “I missed you so much”

 

“I missed you too” Shippo smiled “Mina thought I should come see you.”

 

“That was a good idea, let's all go out to the garden to catch up on things” Kagome said.

 

The others nodded in agreement and followed Kagome. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru however, stayed behind. The two brothers took their time as they made their way to the garden.

 

“How has she been?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“She is fine” Sesshoumaru answered “She has been wanting to see you and your friends for a while now.”

 

Inuyasha gave a small nod “We wanted to help Keade in her village before we did anything else and it's not like you would let her come see us in her condition anyway.”

 

“No” Sesshoumaru said “I wouldn't have, the stress of traveling would now do well for the pup or her.”

 

“Yeah” Inuyasha stopped to look at Sesshoumaru “You'll take good care of her, right?”

 

Sesshoumaru looked at Inuyasha to see concern and sadness in his eyes “Of course I will” his look hardened “Do you not trust that I will take care of her?”

 

“I just worry” Inuyasha said “It wasn't supposed to happen like this.”

 

“But it did” Sesshoumaru said “And I assure you, I will take care of Kagome and any pup we have.”

 

“Alright” Inuyasha nodded “We should get to the garden now before they start to wonder.”

 

Sesshoumaru gave a small nod and walked to the garden with Inuyasha. There was a lot of catching up that Kagome wanted to do.
