Summary: Who knew getting Kagome to breed would be such a headache?
* * *
He’d gone through all the motions: disregarded her humanity, courted and secured her as mate, all accomplished with relatively few obstacles (most could be intimidated, decapitated, or melted). In Kagome’s human terms, “they were in love”; logically, she shouldn’t refuse him such an important asset.
“Stop being Miroku. For the umpteenth time, I’m not having your baby!” For the ‘umpteenth time,’ Sesshoumaru scowled at her incomprehensively. Who knew getting Kagome to breed would be such a headache?
“There is no reason why this Sesshoumaru’s child cannot be borne by the Lady of the Western Lands. There is a flow to these things, Kagome. Selection, courtship, mating, producing offspring: the cycle of life.”
Kagome translated to herself, “‘Falling in love, dating, getting married, having and raising children, growing old together.’”
“Do not avoid the issue again, woman.”
Kagome sighed, giving in. “We all know hanyou are unwelcome and face difficult lives...”
“He will be respected as the Western heir alone, if not by this Sesshoumaru being his sire.”
Kagome rolled her eyes. “Might be a girl! And while InuYasha wasn’t heir, he certainly wasn’t spared anything. Not by you or anyone else!”
“InuYasha’s idiocy is more potent than even superior InuTaisho blood can resolve,” he deadpanned.
“I can’t believe you just said that!” Kagome threw her hands up in exasperation.
“There is no worry for any children we produce. It is our blood, after all, that flows in their veins.”
Kagome’s eyes narrowed. “Izayoi-san seems like a wonderful person, from what I’ve heard of her.”
Sesshoumaru hesitated. It seemed he had been in the starting stages of digging himself deeper without realizing it --- frequent when trying to follow Kagome’s logic. Luckily, she revealed her actual deep-rooted objections to pupping before he could revise his epitaph.
“Actually, that’s exactly the problem. What if… because of our extensive youki and reiki, …”
It dawned on him.
“Kagome,” he called.
She rambled on. “What if our baby has to live in pain because of the conflicting ki in her? Even worse yet, what if I can’t have your babies? I might keep purifying them before they even ---”
“There will be no such thing,” Sesshoumaru cut in. “Our youki and reiki will be harmonious within our pups, as it already is between us --- that is youkai mating. We have passed that stage. Your fears are unfounded.”
Though Kagome’s frown remained, Sesshoumaru was pleased to see she had accepted the truth. Before she could object again, he nodded and told her: “You are fertile. We will try for pups tonight.”
Kagome’s eyes rolled again. “Honestly! You put even ‘Me Tarzan, you Jane’ to shame!”
Familiarized with the phrase while courting, Sesshoumaru rephrased his proposition, choosing his human terms carefully: “We will make love and babies tonight.”
Kagome laughed, shaking her head. “Sesshoumaru, like you said, there’s a flow to these sorts of things.”
It was that tone. Sesshoumaru’s eyes instinctively hooded, and when he replied, his voice was a throaty drawl.
