Giggling, Kagome smiled softly as Inuyasha let his fangs graze her neck, making sure to roam over the mark he had creating last night.
"You really shouldn't have put that there," she said as she rested her arms against his as they wrapped around her middle.
He shrugged and kissed the mark gently before growling in her ear. "I can't help that you're delicious."
"Says you."
"Damn right. Anyone else who says that will be killed."
She giggled and turned in his arms. Both kept a part of their attention tuned in on their daughter, Maemi, who was sitting in the middle of their futon, sucking on her fist as she watched her parents.
The little baby girl had become the talk of the village as soon as she had left Kagome's womb. Her parents had been scared that she would be met with scorn but surprisingly, the villagers greeted the baby hanyou nicely and came with helpful advice for the new parents. After they had met with all the villagers, Miroku had come to the conclusion that the village was graciously thankful for Inuyasha and Kagome's protection. They weren't put off by all the attention but it astonishing to both that they were welcomed so easily.
A kiss to her brow had Kagome looking into the eyes of her mate, love shining in her blue orbs. "I love you."
He gave a contented growl in return and rested his head in the crook of her shoulder, taking a sniff.
Kagome rested her head against his own as she looked upon their child who was now playing with her blanket. "She's grown up a lot in only a year."
"Hanyou's grow faster but begin slowing down during puberty."
Making a sound in agreement, she lifted a hand to rub an ear as she closed her eyes. It was quiet between the two as they relished in each other's embrace. He's become so affectionate ever since we had Maemi, Kagome thought happily as she sighed through her nose.
"Mama…"
Both husband and wife opened their eyes in shock before turning to Maemi who was now gazing at them with innocent eyes. Slowly, Kagome walked over to her and got down on her knees in front of her, noticing how Maemi held her blanket in her arms. "W-What… was that Maemi?"
She sent violet eyes towards her father before muttering, "Mama… hungy…"
Inuyasha and Kagome gasped then as both went to Maemi's side, Kagome picking up the little hanyou as Inuyasha lifted a hand to rub Maemi's black canine ear. "Oh my God," Kagome whispered as she ran a hand through Maemi's dark hair, smiling when she saw her daughter looking at her as she griped the blanket. "She talked."
"Yeah," he said before he smirked. "You know… now that she's started talking, she's never gonna stop. She'll get it from you."
