I rolled over to snuggle further into my mate’s warm body, when a sudden bout of nausea hit me. I flung the covers away from me and wiggled free of my mate’s arms, which were wrapped tightly around my waist. I quickly scooted off my side of the futon and raced over to the chamber pot. I knelt down onto all fours and heaved into the silver pot, with my hair falling around my face.
As I continued to empty my stomach of its contents, I hoped that I wouldn’t wake my mate and that it will end soon. This is the reason why I never drank. It’s not that I am still underage or anything. The fact is I don’t want to deal with hangovers. I find the act of vomiting disgusting and wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
I knew it was morning from the strands of light, shining brightly on the floor in front of me. And it was this light, which let me see my mate’s shadow move towards me. I felt my mate’s hands grab my hair and hold it behind me. He knelt beside me and rubbed my back with his other hand. His actions brought me comfort. I am lucky to have such a mate, who cares about my needs. Wants are an entirely different matter.
“I pray that the sickness ends soon.” I moaned, using my hand to wipe my mouth. “I hate this part of the pregnancy. Why couldn’t men be burdened with this part of it?”
I stayed on my knees, with my hands on either side of the silver chamber pot, for a few more minutes. I am taking a precaution, making sure that nothing else comes up. I don’t want to make another trip to the dreaded chamber pot. I barely made it the first time. This is one part of the pregnancy that I will not miss.
My mate placed one hand around my waist and the other hand around my shoulders. He slowly lifted me off the floor and onto my feet, trying not to cause any sudden movements, which could trigger another set of nausea. As soon as he released me, after making sure that I could stand on my own two feet, I walked over to the pitcher on my vanity table and scooped up some water in my hands. I raised my hands to my mouth and sipped the water from it, swooshing the water around to get rid of the after taste.
“I need to summon Ayah.” I told my mate, as I headed over to my closet to pick out something to wear. “I will need her help getting dressed.”
I took a white kimono with blue crescent moons from the closet and stripped myself of the nightgown. I glanced down at my body and noticed that my breasts have gotten even bigger. I knew my breast would grow to support the milk for the pup, but I never expected them to grow two sizes in one night.
Sesshoumaru must have noticed the change also, for he now stood before me, with his hands cupping my rounded breasts. He squeezed my right breast and a stream of milk came out of it. Sesshoumaru bent down, until he was level with my breast, and used his tongue to lick it up.
“Stop that,” I voiced sternly to my mate, backing away from him. “That is for the pup’s nourishment, not yours.”
Sesshoumaru straightened himself and smirked at me. “This Sesshoumaru was just making sure that the milk is safe for the pup to drink.”
I shook my head at my mate. “Somehow, I don’t believe that.”
My hands instinctively moved down to my stomach and I noticed a slight budge. I rubbed them lovingly over the bump. I can’t believe that I am showing so soon. I didn’t quite believe my mate when he had told me that the pup will grow faster than a human child.
“I’m showing,” I whispered to my mate and motioned for him. I completely forgot about the milk incident and wanted to share my excitement with my mate.
It only took him two steps to close the gap between us and he reached his hand out, until it touched my stomach. I knew that Sesshoumaru wouldn’t know what to do and knew that I would have to guide him. I laid my hand on top of his and moved his hand around in circular motions. I knew I had pleased him by the awed looked in his golden colored eyes.
“You know what sounds good right now?” I asked my mate, watching him shake his head. “Miso soup with steamed rice and pork rolls.”
My mate knew I was having another food craving and went to pull the rope by the door, which summons Ayah. A few minutes later, a knock was heard and my mate opened the door. He didn’t bother to move aside and let Ayah in. He barked his orders at her and
closed the door, when she went to retrieve my food.
“This Sesshoumaru will help you get dressed.” He firmly said to me, walking back over to where I was standing.
He placed the white kimono with blue crescent moons on me and the wrapped the blue obi around my waist. I held up one leg, as he put on one of my white spilt-toe socks and repeated the same procedure with the other leg. He set the wooden getas before me and I placed my hand on his shoulder, using him to balance myself as I slipped them on.
I never expected my mate to act like my maid. I thought he was above performing menial tasks like that. It feels nice, though. After the pregnancy, he will probably stop doing them and I will have to rely on Ayah’s help again. Its not that I don’t appreciate her help, I do. But it’s also kind of nice to get pampered by one’s mate.
Sesshoumaru led me over to the vanity table and pushed down on my shoulders, letting me know that I was supposed to sit down. I wondered what he was up to and I didn’t have to wait long to find out. He grabbed my brush from the table and gripped it tightly, running the brush through my raven colored hair. After he was finished with that task, he began to braid it.
“I didn’t know you could do someone’s hair.” I said to my mate, watching him work on my hair in the mirror.
He continued with his work. “Rin wouldn’t let anyone but this Sesshoumaru dress her, when she first came to the castle. That is how he learned.”
I peered at my hair in the mirror, once he was finished. He didn’t do that bad. He had even placed a blue ribbon within it. “Thank you, mate.” I said to him in gratitude, turning my head side to side. “I would have just let my hair down.”
Sesshoumaru frowned at me. “A mated female does not wear her hair down in front of others. Only a single unmated female may do so. The only place a mated female can wear her hair down is in the bedchamber and only for her mate.”
My mate’s words reminded me that I wasn’t home anymore and that I must obey the rules of demon society. No wonder people in the feudal era died so young. They had to obey all of these stupid rules. “I understand, mate.” I said to him. I didn’t want to fight about the issue. “I will respect your wishes.”
Sesshoumaru’s frown disappeared. “It’s not this Sesshoumaru’s wishes. He likes to see your hair down, but one must follow the proper protocol.”
We couldn’t discuss the issue further, because Ayah knocked on the door, bringing the food that I craved for. Sesshoumaru ordered her to bring the tray over to him and that she could leave, that we wouldn’t require her assistance at the moment. Ayah smiled at me and bowed before the both of us, before leaving the chamber.
Sesshoumaru placed the food in front of me and I immediately dug in. I sighed in pleasure as the warm miso soup slid down my throat. I took a couple of more sips from the bowl, before attacking the rice and pork rolls. Soon I finished all of the food and leaned back in content, patting my full belly.
“That was delicious, my complements to the chef.” I burped softly and quickly covered my mouth. I glanced over at my mate to find him smirking at me. “You think that’s funny, do you?”
He nodded his head at me. I jumped from my seat at the vanity table and leaped at my mate. He easily caught me in his arms and took me over to the futon. I knew what he had in mind and tried to wiggle myself free from his grip. “Don’t even think about it, Sesshoumaru.” I told him, pointing my finger at him. “I’m not going to fall for your simple minded tricks.”
He laid me down onto the futon and began to use his claws to tickle my mid-section. I began to laugh and cry at the same time. I tired to free myself from him, but he lifted my hands over my head and secured them with one of his clawed hands. He doubled his effort and I laughed even harder
“I…give…up.” I managed to get out between laughs. Sesshoumaru chuckled lowly and lowered his face, pressing his lips to mine.
We were about to get into the mood, when Inuyasha walked into the bedchamber, unannounced. “What the hell are you perverts doing?!” He yelled at us. After seeing the position we were in, with Sesshoumaru lying on top of me. “It’s not time for that sort of thing?! You should have done it last night!”
Sesshoumaru gave me a quick kiss, before he got off of me and glared angrily at his brother for disturbing us. “What this Sesshoumaru does in his bedchamber is none of your business, simpleton.”
“What he means, Inuyasha, is that you should have knocked. Then you wouldn’t have had to see us like that.” I told him, sitting up on the futon. “Do I have to explain the birds and the bees to you?”
Both brothers looked at me strangely. “The birds and the bees is a nice way of saying sex. Didn’t your parents teach you that? Where I come from, you learn about the birds and the bees when you are about twelve years old.”
“That’s nice, Kagome.” Inuyasha said humoring me.
I crossed my arms in front of me and huffed. I know what the hell I’m talking about. They don’t have to treat me like I’m stupid. “Why are you here then, Inuyasha? And I don’t want to hear you complaining about Shippo. You’ll just have to deal with him on your own. Even though, he shows you up most of the time.”
“He does not.” Inuyasha insisted and I shook my head in disbelief. He is so in denial. Then again, I wouldn’t want to say that a pup can beat me either. How embarrassing.
Sesshoumaru had enough of his antics and narrowed his eyes at Inuyasha. “Get on with it, simpleton. This Sesshoumaru doesn’t have all day. He plans on spending some time with his mate in the library.”
Inuyasha shuddered. “I don’t even want to know.”
“That is not what this Sesshoumaru meant.” He said coldly to Inuyasha. “Get your simple mind out of the gutter. You’re acting like that monk of yours.”
I hate to break up the fight that I know is about to happen, but Inuyasha came in here for a reason and I was going to learn what it is. “We’ll be going to the library for research, Inuyasha, nothing else.”
“What research?”
I looked over at my mate and he gave a slight nod. I held up my wrist to show Inuyasha the spider tattoo. “This is the research.” I said to him. “We’re trying to find a way to remove it.”
“Holy shit!” Inuyasha shouted, peering at the tattoo. “Did that bastard give that to you last night?”
I nodded my head. “When he gave it to me, he said that it will eventually bring me to him. Sesshoumaru and I don’t know what it means and that is why we want to research more about it. Maybe there is a way to reverse the spell.”
“I doubt it, Kagome.” Inuyasha told me seriously. “Naraku probably had already figured that out. He wouldn’t have placed it on you, if he didn’t think that you could easily erase it. It’s not the way he works.”
Sesshoumaru was surprised by his brother’s words. He never figured that Inuyasha could have some intelligence. “This Sesshoumaru believes that the simpleton is right. We may not be able to erase the mark, but we could counter his spell.”
“What do you mean?” I asked my mate.
He turned his head to look at me. “In order to counter his spell, we will have to place one of our own. How we will do that, this Sesshoumaru does not know. That is why we must search for a way among the scrolls.”
“That was the reason I am here.” Inuyasha finally revealed to us. “I am trying to find out who let him inside the castle.”
I gasped. “You think someone in the castle did it. Who do you think it is?”
“I don’t know yet, Kagome, but I do have a theory.” Inuyasha revealed. He turned back towards Sesshoumaru. “I would like to look into this matter further with your permission, Sesshoumaru.”
“You have this Sesshoumaru’s permission, Inuyasha. Find the culprit before the battle. It will be hard to prove it afterwards.”
Inuyasha gave a nod and turned on his heel, to leave the bedchamber. Before he could leave, I stopped him in his tracks with my words. “Be careful, Inuyasha. Kikyo and I can’t afford to lose you.”
“Don’t worry, Kagome. I will.” He answered back, shutting the door firmly behind him.
