I hope he gets a small reprieve, either that or Kagome get a small glimpse of the torture he is putting himself though.

Finally he grew a pair! I hope a blood test is on the horizon if Kagura is dumb.....guess we'll see.

Great chapter. Glad he finally told off his father, even if it was to late. Since he should have done it when Kagome was still happily with him.

OK my question is how did she have papers proving him the father if he took no test??? He didn't even know she had a child?

Oh my god so kumu drama. It's refreshing to see kagome not forgiving easily. So many would do it for the child. My parents divorced in the same situation. Almost, the mistemis was pregnant. But I can tell that the children suffer the most. They don't care about that. They just need their parents...

Sad chapter.

Thx for updating.

I liked how Kagome asked Sesshoumaru how he could ask her to do something her couldn’t. I was a little annoyed that Inuyasha and Kikyo seemed to take up most of the chapter. I got bored with them and was worried there would be no Kagome and Sesshoumaru at all. I wish there had been more Kagome. She has so much to deal with, there is a lot to show for her.  The pain of dealing with his betrayal since like she said it throws everything that happened with them after he cheated into question. It is very understandable that she wouldn’t be able to deal with having Malik, the constant reminder of his betrayal, in her life.There is also going to be her trying to find her way on her own as she seperates from him as Malik and Kagura move into his life more.

Then of course there is also Sesshoumaru dealing with losing his wife due to his own mistakes. He‘s got be dealing with guilt over hurting her as well, and knowing that the child she carries, the one he has been wanting, will grow up in a broken home now As well.

 I really hope the next chapter has more Kagome, please.

She never got to ask if he cheated on her with others. I hope she just co-parent with him and not get back together. 

Baby steps Kags baby steps , great chap

Glad to see you updated this story. I am anxious to see if they can get past this. I have to say I dont understand Sesshoumaru. If he loves Kagome so much and would do anything to get her back, why is he accepting everything so easily? Is there still something with Kagura in some way that causes him not to question this situation or make any attempt at getting to the truth on his own? I would think if he was so desperate to keep Kagome, he would be trying everything under the sun and one of the biggest and most immediate problems is the boy so you would think that would be the first thing he tries to eliminate by proving it's not his.

Just sharing my thoughts. I hope you are able to update again sooner than later.

Oh and Happy Easter!

Wonderful chapter! RL can get nuts, good luck with everything and dont worry about timing for posts RL should, and does, come first. (: I look forward to more!

Great story!! I can't wait for the next one!!

I think you have a pretty good outline of questions that you created in the first chapter. The questions that Sesshomaru wanted to ask Kagura are the same ones that Kagome needs. Why did he do it, why wasn't Kagome good enough for him (not that she wasn't but she will be having feelings of inferiority from it), why Kagura of all people, why didn't he tell her, how long had it gone on for, was there ever anyone else, etc. Unfortunately for Sesshomaru, his answers will not be good enough. He himself reminded Kagura he was in a relationship multiple times so it's not like he wasn't conscious of the reasons why it would be inappropriate, he continued to engage with Kagura for HOURS, he did to Kagome what he was so hurt by for no reason other than he was horny, he hid it from Kagome and while he did feel a certain about of guilt afterwards it wasn't until he saw Kagura get a message from Naraku and that they were still together that he truly regretted his actions. 

Sesshomaru has broken her trust to such a high degree and the constant reminder of having Malik and Kagura in his life is just too raw for Kagome to heal from while she is at her most vulnerable. His answers will give her a certain level of closure but she will constantly have that doubt in the back of her mind. I'm sure there is a way to have her get back together with Sesshomaru if that's the route you want to take but his answers alone won't be enough to reconcile in a happy and healthy way, they will be enough for Kagome to move on and go her own way. 

Awww Geez Sessh

Fantastic chapter!

I think Kagome is forgetting that she and Sessho had just started dating after his break up with Kagura and he still had feelings for Kagura until that night she tricked him into coming over to her house and got him drunk and then took advantage of the situation. Sessho never ejaculated into her. I think at that moment he realized that he did not love her and was done with her. He then started taking his relationship with Kagome more serious and he never cheated on her that whole time except that once. He wanted closure with Kagura and she knew it too. But like I said before, he should have told Kagome the particulars of the incident right after it happened and I believe things would have turned out differently.

Sessho needs to get off his ass and get his own paternity/DNA test before things get too far. Taking Kagura's word and her so called paternity test is a big mistake on Sessho's part. If I were Kagome and if she really loved him I would put my hurt feelings aside for the moment and make him get his own DNA test then make the decision as to what to do. It will all depend on the out come of the test and then talk about it like two adults. By the way how old are these two suppose to be? They are are acting like two teenagers.

Great chapter as usual. Looking forward to more soon.

Her hurt, words and thoughts are all very real. If he cheated once before they were even married it's very possible he continued to cheat on her and just never got caught. Now Kagome is stuck with that very realization, and it's got to be eating at her. It was also true that it was in very poor taste for Sesshoumaru to have not made Kagura take the boy home that day. He should have known Kagome would at least need some clothes if she wasn't coming home. Plus he had originaly called in sick to talk to Kagome, he could have lied to Kagura and said he was going to work. Unless she was stalking him she wouldn't know he called in. Too much about Kagura and the boy seem off for it not to be a big scam.

Either way Sesshoumaru is really going to have to step up his game if he plans on proving his love and loyalty. It definitely is not going to be easy.

I still don't think it is likely that the boy is really his. They didn't move away till after they were married, Kagura had plenty of time to tell him early. She is also an awful mother so far. What good mother just dumps her kid on a man that she hasn't seen in years, the day after she tells his wife he has a son. She should have gotten in contact with Sesshoumaru first. Not just shown up with the kid there. Like he said he was hungover. That's a fabulous way to meet your father, when he is depressed and hungover. 

As for Kagome I like that she was thinking of an unbiased friend to stay with. She doesn't want to be pushed into one direction or the other. Something as serious as a cheating husband and if she can trust him again, or live with Kagura and her son in her life from now on are big things. Because if that kid is her husbands than Kagura is going to be in their lives from now on. If she can't handle tthat gold digger's constant presence then it might be better for Kagome to move on.

So many choices to make, turns to take. I really look forward to the coming chapters.

Good chapter. I feel for Kagome, but Sessho needs to get a grip and get his head out of his ass. He needs to start thinking logically about what Kagura said about the paternity test was proof that Malik is his "son" . I do not believe that the kid is his, usually men deny that kids are theirs and not believe what a woman tells him until he has legitimate proof. He knew she was seeing and sleeping with Naraku, he even said that Malik did not look nothing like him but more of Kagura. Sess has strong features like the silver hair and golden eyes, even if the kid was his he would have at least one of those features; either the hair or the eyes. Why did he so readily accept Kagura's word as truth? Why is he not fighting this instead of being a wimp about the whole situation.

Like why did Kagura wait until ten years to show up making her claim and sounding so desperate and easily leaving her son behind the way she did? Did Satori not see the boy and if she did why did she not acknowledge him if he is supposedly her "grandson"? I hope Kagome does not give up on Sessho and give him a chance to explain himself and figure out what Kagura's motives are because oviously she set him up that night.

Great writing and looking forward to more chapters.

I don't believe the baby is his. He never had a release that last night with her. I'm also all but sure that she had sex with Naraku the same day and/or the surrounding days. To those that ask about the paternity test without his involvement, she may have had something that still had his DNA like a brush, toothbrush, etc. I still believe she manufactured the test because he's rich.

Okay, I had to re-read the story and I am so confused.  I get that he cheated but he never came.  And then it takes Kagura almost a decade to show up with "their" son that looks nothing like Sesshomaru and she has a paternity test to prove it???  How???  I love your writing and that you're making me read things repeatedly, I just hope that there are some solid answers soon!!
