Blood Stained Chapter 41: Final Destination “We do not have to leave.” Kagome raised her head and looked in direction of Sesshomaru. They had already been packing their bags for the last 15 minutes. They only had one location left, one last shard to find. She was a little surprise by his suggestion. Why would he want to stay in Australia, especially considering the fact that Kouga was here and from what she had seen so far, they did not get along well. “Why?” she inquired, before resuming her packing. Sesshomaru glanced her way. “We have not stayed here very long, compared to India. Since we can not rid the world of the jewel even if we find the last shard, I thought perhaps you’d like to do some sight seeing.” She shook her head. “Not in this condition.” The best way to do sight seeing, in her opinion was to walk, but she had no desire to stand hours on her feet, especially since she was trying to conserve her energy the best she could. They still had much to face and she would need every bit of energy. Plus, meeting Kouga again might be awkward. She knew they had left each other on good term, but right now, she didn’t want to stir up any problems there might be with staying. The best thing to do was to resume their travels right away. Sesshomaru nodded, before zipping his bag closed. He was aware that their relationship was still a little tense and strange, but he also knew that traveling across the world was something she had never done before. He thought perhaps she had wanted to take up the opportunity now, since she did not seem as tense in his presence lately. To him, it mattered very little since he had already seen the world many times. “What is the next destination?” she asked, before sitting down on the bed. “Brazil,” he quickly answered before picking up his bag and heading towards her. Sesshomaru took her bag and carried it as he made his way outside of the room. Kagome glanced around the room one last time, before forcing herself on her feet. As if her feet killing her wasn’t enough, her back was also adding up to the mix lately. At that point, she had pretty much decided that being pregnant and doing a lot of moving around was not the best idea. There was nothing she desired more than to lay down for a few days, in her own room. She followed behind Sesshomaru as they headed out of the hotel. They got into a limousine, which she had been so familiar with since they had been traveling. But, the choice of car surprised her. There were many luxury cars he could have demanded that wouldn’t attract attention as much as this one did. Since she had known him in her era, Sesshomaru had seemed like someone who was just trying to blend in with the humans. Why the attention grabbing limousine? She was brought out of her thoughts when Sesshomaru handed her a bottle of water. She nodded her head and took it from him, before drinking a few sips. Kagome allowed herself to relax and she rested her head against the seat. “Are you well?” he asked when he watched her close her eyes. Kagome softly nodded. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. She felt a little tired and a little bit of pain. It was nothing out of the ordinary, especially for a pregnant woman. She simply needed a little more rest. Though, she was sometimes getting over 10 hours a day. But, she blamed it on all of the emotional trouble she was having these past few weeks. Sesshomaru watched her and though he did believe she thought she was well, he thought something was off. She had less patience. As if, she allowed herself to give up, or not put up with certain situations. She looked exhausted. But most nights, he did not sleep and he knew for a fact she was getting all the sleep she could. She mostly always awoke by herself, not because she had to. He was probably looking too much into this, but nothing that happened to her while she was pregnant was re-assuring. Another problem coming along wouldn’t surprise him at this point. At least, they only had two more trips left, one if they took out this one. Then she’d be back home with her family and she’d probably be safer. However, she still had to figure out where she wanted to give birth, since she could not do it in a hospital. It would be easy for him to provide her with the proper people to help her with the hanyou birthing. He’d propose the idea to her when the time would be right. He had little doubts that she would have any opposition to it. The only question was, where would he be when the pup would be born? Maybe she’d allow him to be in the same house as her, but he didn’t know if her family would. Frankly, he could not blame them. After what she had been put through, the last thing her family probably wanted was to have him around to further harm her. Although he wanted to see the pup, he would allow Kagome to go at her own pace. This would not be a difficult situation in any way. But, at least he knew she was okay with the idea of him being in the pup’s life. He was aware that the decision must have been difficult for her to make, but once again, she had put the pup’s well being before her own. She would be a good mother. Now the only question left was, what kind of father would he be? He had raised Rin, but in his own way. He had taught her how to survive even on her own. Yes, he would have always been there to watch over, but he had wanted her to be independent, not like so many humans who waited for others. But this would be different. To raise his pup, from the moment he was born, in a completely different world. Sesshomaru had adapted, but it didn’t mean he enjoyed this new world. Now, he would have to learn to be a father. To her, it seemed to come naturally. She had it in her to be a great mother, even to those who weren’t hers. He lacked the same ability. Mostly because it was not something commonly done in his family. In youkai packs, some of them were, but not in his clan. His father might have been a little more, but his mother was not. She was the one who had raised him when he was still young and she always had the same façade on. He had barely ever seen an expression upon her face. He had grown up to be the same. Thriving to be stronger, to prove his own worth. Especially after his father had given up his own life. In order to save the hanyou, instead of remaining by the side of his one true heir. Sesshomaru should have been able to prove that he was stronger than his father. But that possibility had been taken away from him. For a long time he had felt rage, but now, it was gone. Perhaps it was because so many years had past. He had been able to mature. Or maybe it was because he had been able to prove his strength. He had also managed to survive when many hadn’t. And even in his human form, people still feared and respected him. At least those who knew him did. And he had managed to make himself a successful life as a human. Everything should have been fine, he should be feeling satisfied. But of course, his past was present and could not be ignored, nor could he ever forget what he had done. He might learn to live with the guilt one day, but it would always be there. A sigh almost escaped him, but he stopped himself. He didn’t show many emotions in front of her and he intended on keeping it that way. Though, he barely showed emotions at all. But, he wanted to keep his mask especially around her, because she needed a certain stability. Granted she did not enjoy his company the best, but he had to be reliable just in case. Everything in her life was upside down, he knew the best thing in those situations was to have an element of consistency. Out of all the roles he could play, he chose to take that one up as well. Bringing himself out of his thoughts, he glanced her way. Her eyes were still closed, she looked like she was either resting or deep in her thoughts. He made a mental note not to disturb her. His eyes trailed down to her stomach and his eyes narrowed. He still worried. -B- Dizziness. Kagome was trying to focus but it was hard. They were currently in the plane, on their way to Brazil and unlike the previous times traveling, she did not feel comfortable. Her head was bothering her, she felt sweaty and nervous. Also, it didn’t help that she was having intense nausea. She did not understand why this was happening. Nothing unusual had happened during the day so far. She had breakfast like usual, she had drank enough water, had plenty of sleep. So why didn’t she feel well? Kagome couldn’t help the panic that was rising inside of her, but she was trying to hide it. No reason to make a big deal over this. It was probably nothing. Maybe it was the height they were traveling at, or maybe she had not digested her food well. To help keep her mask on, her eyes were tightly shut, but it was hard to keep her fingers from twitching. Sesshomaru though had yet to notice. Or perhaps he had but he wasn’t saying anything yet, which was strange because he always did. Then, all of a sudden, she felt a presence near her, her eyes flashed open. She found herself staring at a bag of chips. She then tilted her head to the side and saw a flight attendant smiling at her. “Are you hungry?” Kagome couldn’t understand what she was saying, but she could assume what it was. Since she couldn’t speak English, she shook her head to answer. The woman nodded before focusing her attention on Sesshomaru. Immediately, she bent a little more before flashing him a smile, asking if there was anything she could do for him. Sesshomaru felt his annoyance grow, as he put down his book. Humans could be so shameless. Granted the Miko and him were not together, but to the outside eyes, he was pretty sure they looked like a couple, who was expecting a child. Yet, this flight attendant was foolishly attempting to flirt with him. Had they no respect for bonds and relationships? “I wish for you to leave.” While the flight attendant was somewhat surprised, Kagome couldn’t help but sense that it was weird to hear him speak English. She had never really heard him speak any other language before. The woman backed away slightly before offering a weak nod, as she walked away from him. Sesshomaru picked up his book, before turning his head to look at the Miko. Her eyes were on him, but it was not the detail he noticed first. Was she sweating? He could see the sweat drops on her forehead. The temperature in the plane was not high, it was actually quite cool. He frowned slightly before looking away. Kagome did the same when she realized she had been staring. “You are not feeling well.” This time, it was not a question, but rather a statement. He would not let her tell him it was nothing, or that she was fine. There was no reason for her to hide her illness from him. Kagome’s eyes flickered to the floor, before she took a deep breath. “I just feel a little hot.”
