Chapter 6: I don’t want to let go
Sesshomaru sat beside Kagome’s futon, watching her sleeping form. She didn’t really talk to him or his mother and her eyes were so dead, it unnerved him that she didn’t touch her swollen abdomen anymore when she was awake…before she was always touching it, like she had been strengthening her bond with their child, but now all she did was wear that blank mask on her face and let the tears flow freely down her face.
He looked at her swollen abdomen, their child was kicking again…he knew that the child didn’t want his touch, but its mother’s. it was not healthy for their child to through this withdrawal from its mother’s love, it would affect the baby’s health in the future…maybe it would be best if he had Sakura take over Kagome’s duties as the mother after the baby was weaned. He didn’t want to, but this indifference to their child would weaken it as it got older. He placed his hand on their child, hoping to soothe it…but it only kicked harder, like it was angry that Kagome would not touch it, would not love it like she had in the past.
oOo
Kagome removed her clothes before lying down on her futon and spread her legs for the fifty physicians before her, Sesshomaru’s mother sat down by her head like normal. Kagome was numb and unfeeling to the painful probing, the smelling and licking of her sheath as each one of the physicians did it. She felt nothing as they roughly touched every part of her body like she was nothing, but clay that was to be worked and didn’t care when they like the milk from their hands like it was a sweet treat. Sesshomaru’s mother felt her anger simmer to life at their unnecessarily rough treatment of Kagome’s body, but kept silence if it meant they would learn what was wrong with the baby.
The physicians grouped together and all of them said the same thing, “I don’t know what’s wrong with the child…but there’s something wrong with it.” Sesshomaru’s mother stared at them for a moment, speechless by the universal stupidity in front of her and Kagome before she stood up and exploded on them, the rage that simmered in her from seeing that Sakura had healed two days after being punished burned in her and to hear this had unleashed it all. She didn’t want this to make Kagome sadder!
“If that’s the case…find me someone that can or I’ll rip your heads off!” she said sweetly to them…though her face was anything, but sweet. The physicians realized their mistake in that moment when they saw her golden eyes turned red with her anger. They were going to die if something did learn of what was wrong with the stupid brat in the human. “Please…calm down my Lady. This is an area of birth that few have knowledge of; there are six or seven demons that are alive today that were born with a human parent. The ones’ who midwifed at those births are no more and took the knowledge with them to their grave, it may be best to see what those demons know of their birth…it may aid us with your grandchild.” One of the physicians said, hoping to keep his head like the others.
Sesshomaru’s mother glared at them, was that the best they could do? With a shake of her head in disappointment, she dismissed them with a wave of her arm before turning to look down at Kagome, the red bleed from her eyes as concern filled the demoness’s veins. There…was sadness in Kagome’s eyes as the tears run down her face, “Kagome…the baby will be fine, I’ll make sure that the baby is fine.” Sesshomaru’s mother whispered.
But the physicians’ words echoed in her head…where was something wrong with her baby and no one knew what it was, it made the pain that she felt…all the more painful.
oOo
Sesshomaru’s mother looked at the beautiful Junihitoe that Kagome was going to wear to the gathering for the celebration of the baby’s approaching birth. Looking at the Junihitoe…she couldn’t help, but worry about the Lords asking to borrow Kagome. It had happened in the past with priestesses concubines like Kagome…but they often died in the birthing process because of poor care from the midwives. No one cared if the priestess died and if the Lord that gave the concubine to the other Lords became upset from the loss then he would be given a new one by the Lord that allowed the death.
Sesshomaru would not be allowed to refuse without a good reason if the Lords asked to borrow Kagome. “What’s wrong, mother?” Sesshomaru asked as he walked into her rooms, her scent told him of the sadness and fear that she felt. She looked at her son, the worry clear as day in her eyes. “I’m worried about the gathering and the Lords reaction to Kagome…she’s so quiet and sad, but her power will draw them to her. I have no doubt that some of them will ask to borrow Kagome’s body to breed their own children from her.” Sesshomaru stared at his mother, his face blank of emotion…he had never thought of that.
Sakura was the one pregnant instead of Kagome, they could never ask because Sakura was his mate, but they could ask for Kagome since she was a mere concubine that was there simply to birth his children. He disliked the thought of her having a breeding session with another man…he would have to think of something to stop the Lords from taking interest in Kagome, but how she had been lately would make that hard to do.
“I’ll think of something, mother.” He muttered; but his mother didn’t look at him, she just stared at the Junihitoe. “What about a child?” She said out of the blue, Sesshomaru looked at his mother, he didn’t understand what she meant…Kagome was already pregnant with his child, and so how was that going to stop them? They would simply have to wait for her to give birth and let her body recover for a few days before taking her and having a breeding session with her. “What are you talking about, mother?” Sesshomaru demanded. His mother sighed…she wondered when her son had become a stupid idiot?
“It’s simple, Sesshomaru. Kagome is yours to breed with…simply have another breeding session with her again when her body returns to its fertile state.” She told him bluntly, was it really that hard to figure out…then again their brains were no doubt turning into mochi what with how Kagome has been so unlike herself.
Sesshomaru thought of his mother’s words before a smirk came to his face. It could work and it would mean that he and Kagome could begin working on siblings for their child. “I see…I’ll have to do that then.” He said, knowing that his mother was thinking he was a stupid idiot again. But he wondered if it was that simple and with how Kagome had been late…he was concerned about her and her reaction to learn that she would become pregnant again the moment her body was ready to do so. “How do you think she will react, mother?”
Sesshomaru’s mother looked at her thought of what he said before replying. “I don’t know she’s greatly different from other human women. Strong, kind, and gentle…she holds both endless strength for those that she lo..v…es…Sesshomaru, how is Sakura around Kagome?” She asked, thinking that she might know what was wrong with Kagome.
oOo
Sesshomaru walked into see Kagome dressed in the Junihitoe that his mother had prepared for her, she looked lovely…but was not the stunning beauty that she could be if she didn’t have that blank mask on his face. He was about to change that though.
He walked to where she sat on a cushion, and sat down behind her. Kagome didn’t look at him as he wrapped his arms around her and his hands rested on her swollen abdomen as their child kicked; she looked like she was ready to give birth any day now when she had a month to go. He looked at the girl in his arms; she was so strong that it almost shocked Sesshomaru that she wasn’t a demon or even a half-breed like his brother. She had taken all that fear and worry about what part of she would play in their child’s life, but she hid it from everyone and him. “Kagome…please allow me to ask for your forgiveness,” He whispered into her ear before licking it.
But Kagome didn’t say anything besides suddenly become stiff in his arms, he took that as a good sign that she was listening to him as every other time that he had held her, she had been limp like a doll in his arms. “Kagome, I have no plans to place our child in Sakura’s arms when it is born.” He whispered into her ear, Kagome blinked twice before she turned to look at Sesshomaru, her eyes filled with tears.
“Really, Sesshomaru?” She asked, her voice told him of the hope that his words gave her. It wounded him to see the look of hope in her eyes and hear it in her voice. “Yes, Kagome. Our child will be raised in the arms of the one birthed and last check; I planted my seed inside of your fertile womb and not Sakura’s barren one.” He watched as she placed her hand of her swollen abdomen and the kicking from their child slowly stopped, and a smile came to Kagome’s face. It pleased him to see her lovely smile and to see her touching their child again.
oOo
Kagome was a little freaked by all the demons and demonesses talking to Sesshomaru and Sakura about her baby like they were the parents instead of her. Okay, Sesshomaru was the father, but Sakura wasn’t the mother, Sesshomaru’s mother just told her not to mind. Something about how Sakura would be seen in the Demon world as the mother of her child because of her status of being Sesshomaru’s mate and how Kagome was a mere Concubine, and that even though, she would be the one who birthed the baby and raised it, Sakura in the eyes of high demons would be the mother.
It pissed Kagome off a little, but she didn’t voice her protest of that, it wasn’t her world and she simply wanted to be the one who raised her baby. “Sesshomaru…I hope you will share this little beauty, her scent is quite nice and I’m sure that I could get a few babes out of her myself.” One of the Lords said; Kagome looked at the Lord in shock. She stared at him; he was fat, had warts all over his face and looked older than her grandpa! She glared at Sesshomaru, if he said ‘yes’ then she would purity his hot ass into her era. She was not going to be fucked by an old man like that; she would rather dead by Sesshomaru’s poison! “Oh! Of course you can, you’ll have to pay a fee for the number she would birth though.” Sakura said sweetly, Kagome turn her death glare at the soon-to-be-dead demoness.
“I was thinking around maybe eight or sixteen babies in the first birthing…” The Lord said to Sakura before turning to look at Kagome, who was suddenly feeling sick. Eight or sixteen babies…she was going to die, that was so clear to her now. Death in childbirth…what away to go, but then again, it was better than death by being turned to demon chow or being make into a hair potion.
“Mmm, I would allow you to breed with my concubine, but I have plans to breed her after she has healed from this pregnancy…too soon after birth and she would die in the birthing. She is after all a simply human and not a demoness.” Sesshomaru said as Kagome walked over to his mother to sit down. He noticed that Sakura followed Kagome and to be truthful, didn’t like it. He knew of what Sakura had been doing to Kagome’s head, telling his concubine that their child was hers and that she would make so that Kagome would never be allow near their baby. He needed to have a talk with his mate about her tongue…maybe cutting it out of her mouth will teach her to behave.
Kagome walked over to Sesshomaru’s mother, she felt dirty from the looks that the Lords had been giving her. It was clear them wanted to fuck her and breed her like a dog until she died from it…she just hoped that Sesshomaru wouldn’t let them because she really didn’t want that old Lord’s dick inside her, she got the feeling that he didn’t like to bathe often.
“Soon…very soon, your baby will be mine.” Sakura said happily to Kagome as she suddenly appeared beside her. Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Sesshomaru’s mate, Kagome knew that she was the home wrecker here, but she was going to give into her hormonal-pregnant woman side and kick the bitch’s ass. Without a second thought, she let her power go wild. Sakura screamed in pain from Kagome’s powers, her skin burned without Kagome even touching her and she sensed no barrier. She looked at the Whore with shock, she had known that Kagome had powers, but to be able to burn the flesh of a high leveled Demoness like herself was truly powerful.
But Sakura could see that it was taking a toll on the mother-to-be, she would have to teach the Whore a lesson for trying to harm her betters though…she knew that Sesshomaru would understand. She moved to claw Kagome’s face when the Whore gasped and suddenly they both stood in a puddle. Sakura stared at the puddle, this was a new junihitoe that the Whore had just ruined, she looked up to glare at the Whore, but Sesshomaru and his mother was moving the freaking out Whore away from her.
Sesshomaru’s mother tried to keep Kagome calm, but she knew that it was impossible. “It’s too early, the baby’s not ready.” Kagome panicked, the baby was early and she wasn’t ready to give birth yet. Kagome flinched as she felt a contraction; she griped Sesshomaru’s mother’s hand as she waited for the discomfort to end. With sigh, she wondered why women always made such a big fuss about giving birth…it felt no worse than a pinch.
oOo
Sesshomaru allowed his mother to prepare Kagome for the birthing…he knew that since all the Lords were here, they would go to the birthing room and watch Kagome birth their child into the world…he had a feeling that Kagome would not like having her open legs on display for all the Lords to see. Sesshomaru would not worry though, his mother would handle his concubine as he took care of Sakura.
He walked to his mate, she knew better than to anger Kagome when she was so close to giving birth…if his child died or Kagome did, then so would Sakura and if he lose both mother and child…well, his mate would wish that she was hell for all eternity.
oOo
Kagome moaned loudly through a contraction to which she was told to be silence…to which she told the midwife to fuck off. She moaned in pain, okay she now knew why women made a fuss and it didn’t help that a group of demons were staring at what was between her legs. Sesshomaru’s mother had told her that it was a way of showing respect to the baby that was being born since the father wouldn’t be allow into the birthing room.
Kagome whimpered as the midwife told Sesshomaru’s mother that she wasn’t ready to push yet and that she might need to walk. As the midwife told Sesshomaru’s mother that another one tried to make Kagome eat something, but she was in no mood to eat, let alone walk, but she was still forced to get up from her futon and walk around until another contraction hit her hard. This time instead of voicing her pain and getting told to be quiet, Kagome just started cursing Sesshomaru and his fucking cock. The next time, Kagome saw Sesshomaru, she was going to tie Sesshomaru down and rip his clothes off. Then she would take about fifteen needles and stick them into his dick before taking a cow whip to it.
“That’s it, Kagome. Just think of good things and then you’ll be holding your baby,” Sesshomaru’s mother said…though she knew full well that the ‘good things’ were likely turning her son’s manhood into a pin cushion and taking a whip to it…she didn’t blame Kagome for wanting to do that. After all she had given birth as well and it had always been a painful thing with wondrous results…if the baby survived. Sesshomaru’s mother looked down between Kagome’s legs, she wondered if the child would survive like its father had. One of the midwives sat down front of Kagome, who was going through another contraction. The midwife sniffed Kagome’s sheath before taking a lick, “Seriously? I have to go through this when I’m in labour?” Kagome growled…Sesshomaru’s mother wondered for a moment if Kagome had a dog demon ancestor in her bloodline somewhere because that was a very dog-like midwife quickly moved to Sesshomaru’s mother and whispered into the demoness’s ear something that was truly amazing!
oOo
Sakura screamed in pain as Sesshomaru whipped her with his whip, enjoying the pain that he inflicted upon her body. Her clothes were cut to ribbons and her flesh was bleed from her punishment, but Sesshomaru didn’t felt content with simply whipping her. He stopped and stared at her back, his eyes red with rage, he wanted to make her remember this and to remember that to even try to harm Kagome would be…a deadly choice.
Stabbing his claws into her back, he slowly carved into it again and again as he listened to her screams like it was sweet music.
oOo
“Push Kagome! Push!” Sesshomaru’s mother ordered as Kagome felt the head of her baby between her legs. She hurt so bad like someone kicking her back over and over, but her baby wouldn’t come out. The midwife that sat beside Sesshomaru’s mother, put her hands on Kagome’s stomach pushed down, Kagome screamed at the pain that it cause, just as she felt herself stretch and that something slip out and the pain stopped for a moment.
Kagome stopped to breathe as the midwife moved her hands away. “Good, Lady Kagome, very good…I need one more good push and your baby will be in your arms.” The midwife told her. Kagome cried for a moment, she had thought it was over! Kagome’s breath was caught in her throat as another contraction hit her hard; she pushed with all her might, silencing screaming her pain when it suddenly disappeared and the room was filled with a little cry. Kagome felt so weak, but at the same time…so wonderful as a messy wriggling mass of red was placed into her arms.
Kagome looked at it…and she never wanted to let go.
She stared at the angry little face before her, crying its little heart out to the world…Kagome had never heard anything so beautiful in her life before. Tears of joy filled Kagome’s eyes as she held her child before the midwife took her baby to clean it up, Kagome noticed that all the Lords moved to look at her baby and suddenly they all gasped. “What’s wrong?” She asked, she tried to move, but the midwives moved to keep her lying down, to let her rest from her ordeal. “Nothing is wrong, the baby is fine. You did very well, Kagome.” Sesshomaru’s mother told her as she moved some Kagome’s hair out of her ocean blue eyes and wiped some of the sweat away.
Soon her baby was placed back in her arms after the midwives cleaned both her baby and her up, Kagome placed her baby on the futon carefully removed the blanket that her baby was wrapped in to check her child out. Ten fingers, ten toes, silver hair like its father’s and ocean blue eyes like her, but what surprised Kagome was that her baby…was a little girl.
