Supreme Power, Sealing Your Fate

She slept in peace for the rest of the night. Sesshomaru had slept till almost midnight, but after that, he was up. His mind was running. Now it was morning, and he was looking over his new mate. He had questions for her, and she would answer them.

He looked out the window and waited for her to wake up. She didn't even get to open her eyes before he spoke.

"The child is not a halfbreed,"

She rubbed her eyes; she was sore. "What?" She was kinda annoyed.

"The pup, it is not a halfbreed."

It was too early for this, she understood what he was saying, but she didn't know why he was saying it. "Ok?" She sat up, the sheet falling from her body. The black silk nightgown showed off her growing breast. He looked at her from where he stood by the window. His eyes went to her breast. His beast growled; it was very happy, though Sesshomaru himself was not. He tore his eyes away from her growing breast and looked at her face.

"Tell me, woman, how is it the pup you bear is not that of a halfbreed?"

She stopped her stretching and looked at him. "How would I know?"

He walked to her and looked down; he had to remember she was human and didn't understand demon-to-demon workings, didn't understand her tone, that it made his demon want to make her submit. Again, he had to slow down; this was his fault, after all. He took in a deep breath "Miko when you speak like that, it stirs my beast and not in a good way,"

She blushed, confused "What?"

Her confusion calmed him, but her blush did not.

"You must mind how you speak; the urge to make you submit to me is not something I can always control, especially with the scent of pregnancy,"

She glared at him, and he knew right away she still didn't understand.

"It is not what you think,"

"Sure sounds like you trying to dominate a female merely because you are the male,"

She wasn't totally wrong,

"I am trying, Miko," He admitted; after yesterday and what he did, he had to at least swallow some of that pride. To help calm himself, he let his eyes drift to her legs. He realized he shouldn't, but it was better than yanking her up and sticking his nose into her neck like his beast wanted.

Kagome turned from him and walked to the mirror to look at her neck; the mark was warm "The pup," Kagome said, looking down at her tummy.

"What?" He asked, turning to her.

"The pup, is it human?" She was afraid for the baby now,

"No,"

She looked back at him. "What?"

"The pup is a full fledge demon,"

Kagome placed a hand over her mouth; she could not believe what he just said. Sesshomaru sniffed the air; she was relieved. Relieved that her pup was a full-blooded demon? He didn't understand.

He removed the thoughts from his head and set himself to leave the room. "Get dressed woman; that outfit is most unfitting to this Sesshomaru," He said as he left.

She looked at herself in the mirror; she thought she looked good in it. She turned around and looked some more. "Yep...I look good"

Besides, she didn't care what he thought; screw him.

Sesshomaru opened the door again and looked at her "Woman, dress now!" He said before slamming the door again.

So much for him trying.

While Kagome was getting dressed, a soft knock came to the door; it was Rin. "Lady Kagome, may I come in?"

"Why yes, Rin," Kagome answered while putting on some clothes. Rin came in, holding a book. "Lady Kagome," Rin asked, looking up at Kagome. "What is it, Rin?"

"Will you read something to me? And then tell me what you think?"

"Sure," Kagome sat on the floor, and Rin sat with her. Rin opened the book and found the page she wanted to her to read. Kagome looked at the page and read it out loud.

"My power, my new power, my great power. I shall use it for the will of good, for I am wise. My Love, she has given me my power; she has loved me, a demon lord. Heart pure, heavy with Love for me which has given me my power, I shall protect my sons. I hope that for my sons they get to feel this power and use it for the will of good, for the will of love. My heart bleeds for her, my love. All the fighting and training in the world, all the knowledge does not come close to baring the power she had brought me, supreme power; it was her, this human woman, my love, my mate."

Kagome sighed as she looked away. "Welllllll?" Rin asked.

"It's beautiful,"

"What do you think it is?"

"A Love story, a great Love story, I would die for a man like that..." Kagome was daydreaming. Rin blushed and Giggled. "A love story! That's what I told Lord Sesshomaru,"

Kagome looked at the girl, confused. "What do you mean, Rin?"

"Well, Lord Sesshomaru brought the book to me and asked me to read it and then tell him what I thought"

"And?" Kagome asked, still holding the book open.

"I told him I thought it was a love story; I love, love stories."

"Oh," Kagome was a bit confused as to why the girl was telling her this. "But Lord Sesshomaru said otherwise,"

"What did he say?" Kagome asked.

"He said it was about power."

Kagome looked at the girl for a moment and then read the book again to see if she had missed something.

"Yeah, it's about power but more about love," Kagome stated, looking at Rin again. "I think so to Lady Kagome, but Lord Sesshomaru said I was missing the point." Kagome could not figure out why the little girl was so upset by this. Ok, maybe I should read as if I were Sesshomaru. Kagome giggled but again read the book.

"Well, Rin, it's about both; see, the woman gave the man his power, but it's a different kind of power than one might think of," Kagome stated.

"How?" Rin asked

"Well...because-" Kagome stopped, and it hit her. "Because she loved him," She whispered. Damn him! Kagome was pissed, So that's what happened, that idiot!

Kagome got up and left the room; book in hand, she had a bone to pick with a demon Lord. All hell was about to break loose she was going to kill him, father of her child or not; she was going to kill him.
