"Sesshomaru?" A sweet soft voice whispered, afraid that it was just a dream. A man with silver hair and blank golden eyes, dressed in familiar Marine desert B.D.U.S. he was standing in the doorway and he slowly turned to face her, his eyes dead as the men who died and the men he killed.  The man turned to the voice and stared at the dark haired woman who spoke his name. "Is that really you?" She asked weakly, unsure if he was real. She watched him as he walked up to her, and she reached up and tenderly touched his face.

"Yes, it is." His deep voice whispered, he sounded like a broken man not like her strong Sesshomaru. The woman blinked away the tears in her eyes. Where was her strong man, where was he? Was he lost to the war out there or is he still in there buried underneath the pain and sorrow?

"What happened?" She asked holding his face in her arms, her blue eyes looking into his gold ones.

"Nothing Kagome." He said.

"No! It wasn't nothing. Nothing would do this to you, Sesshomaru; nothing would turn a strong man, My strong man into this." She said, he growled and stood up, pushing her away.

"Maybe I am not strong, maybe I was always like this and you never noticed." Sesshomaru yelled. Kagome stepped back her hands covering her breaking heart. Sesshomaru looked down at her and sighed "I'm sorry." Kagome didn't look up at him; she kept her head down with her bangs covering her blue eyes.

"I've always noticed." She said, he looked down at her, she looked up, their eyes met. She walked to him, stopping just short of him.  "I've always known, you are a man, not a god, despite what others may think, and despite that I still love you."  Tears were cascading down her cheeks. Sesshomaru gently wiped them away. He leaned down and kissed her gently. Once he pulled away she whispered to him. "It's okay to lean on me, tell me what happened."  She kissed down his neck, suckling softly above the collar of his uniform.

"Everything went to the shits." He said, Kagome unbuttoned his coat and helped him shrug it off.  "Chris was killed because he was shot in the head, Brad lost his leg to a mine, and Rick is MIA." Tears fell down Sesshomaru's face. Kagome stood on her tippy toes and kissed away his tears.  She un-tucked his shirt and pulled it over his head.

"What else?" Kagome asked softly, kissing down his chest.  

"We couldn't walk anywhere without the fear of being blown up, we saw kids get killed and we couldn't do a thing" Sesshomaru choked Kagome lead him to their bedroom and sat him on the bed. She undid his boots and pulled them off. She then pulled him standing again and kissed him again, not saying a word.  "This time was the worst of the three times I have been over there."  Kagome trailed her fingers down his chest and to his belt and undid it, pulling it out; she tossed it off to the side.  "I don't think I can do another tour."

"It's alright, love." Kagome whispered softly.

"No! It's not alright, I have to be there for my men, I have to be strong for them. I am the Ice King, the one who always has his head on his shoulders when everything is going to hell." Sesshomaru yelled. Kagome kissed him calming him down again.

"You don't have to be that all the time, you don't have to be the Ice King with me, you can be Sesshomaru, the man with the weight of the world on his shoulders." Kagome said as she undid his pants and let the fall leaving him in his boxers.  "You are not in uniform now, you can be My Sesshomaru."  He nodded and knelt down and lifted the red night gown she was wearing over her stomach revealing a six month pregnant belly.  "And our child's father." He got up and kissed her passionately. He pulled the red night gown over her head and looked down at the woman before him, six months pregnant and only in her underwear, and she never looked any more beautiful.  He laid her down upon the bed kissing down her neck and suckling the junction between her neck and shoulder, reveling in the sound of her moan. Moving down he licked the bare breast that would one day feed his child, Kagome made small noises of pleasure as he did that. Moving down further kissing all over her belly that held his child, Kagome smiled at the attention he was giving their child. Sesshomaru moved down further to her core he kissed it and gave it a lick, hearing her gasp he smiled and continued his actions.  "Sesshomaru" she gasped as she grabbed the bed beneath her. He drew her to the brink of an orgasm but stopped before she could go over. Kagome made sounds of protest as he crawled back up and kissed her. Kagome could taste herself on his tongue and gasped. Sesshomaru pulled away and looked into her eyes.

"I want you." he said, Kagome smiled and kissed him again. Sesshomaru pulled his boxers off and positioned himself at her entrance. He entered her gently, not wanting to hurt their child. He made love to her, after six months of being in hell; he was once again in heaven. He brought Kagome to an orgasm again and again before finally reaching his end. Sesshomaru kissed her again, and rolled off the side careful not to hurt his child. He then pulled her to him, with a hand on her stomach and an arm under her head he kissed the now sleeping Kagome on the head and bent forward and whispered into her ear. "I love you." Kagome smiled in her sleep as she heard him in her dream.
