For Katlady’s Turkey challenge.

================================================

The daiyoukai of the Western Lands was frustrated. His mate was expecting, and her cravings were driving him insane. It was not that he did not want to give her what she wanted, youkai pregnancies were hard on females and things like cravings were much more severe than in ningen. The problem was, he did not know what half of the things that she asked for were! He supposed that most of them were things from her time, and if he could, he would have gone through the well to get them for her, but alas, the well had closed when the Shikon was wished upon.

There were so many things that she asked for. Ice cream, pickles, peanut butter, oreos, salsa, bagels…the list was endless. Some of the things, he had been able to provide her, with a little help from his chefs. He asked her for all the details on the food she wanted. He could not stand to see the tears standing in her brilliant sapphire eyes every time he told her he could not obtain something.

Today’s request had him stumped. Today, she asked for turkey. He had no idea what this “turkey” was, so he decided that he would ask his half-brother. Inuyasha had decided to stay at the Western Citadel to help protect his sister-in-law from any who would wish her harm and take advantage of her weakened state. Not everyone was thrilled with the choice of a miko as the new Western Lady, and Sesshoumaru had come to an understanding with the hanyou, making him beta in his pack, so that his mate would be happy. The things he did for her…

Finding Inuyasha in the dojo was easy. Admitting to him that he did know everything was the hard part.

“This Sesshoumaru needs a word with you,” he said in a casual tone.

“What?”

Hmm…the hanyou was uncouth as always. “The miko has requested something called ‘Turkey’. What exactly is that?”

Inuyasha grinned inwardly. This should be good. “Turkey is another name for a bird youkai. Pregnant ningen eat them to gain strength for the delivery of their pups.”

Sesshoumaru was puzzled, but made sure that the hanyou couldn’t see it. “Very well. This Sesshoumaru shall bring one for the miko. Keep her safe. If even a hair is harmed on her head, you shall lose yours.”

Inuyasha gulped, but nodded. Sesshoumaru was gone as quickly as he came in, no sound except the rustle of silk.

=================================================

That evening, as Kagome finished her dinner, she looked to her mate with love shining in her eyes. He was so good to her! She did not know how he found turkey for her, but it hit the spot. It was exactly what she had wanted.

“Where did you find the turkey Sesshoumaru? I did not think that there were any in Japan at this time.”

He looked at her with a strange expression. Not any here?

“Of course there are ‘turkey here, miko,” he explained. “After all, you have met the Northern Lord and his Lady.”

Kagome looked at him with confused eyes. Slowly, her expression changed, and she got up and raced for their privy chamber. He heard her retching, and was confused.

Pregnancy was very strange.
