Don't own Inuyasha

Rin sat cross-legged on the ground, the young hanyou sitting facing her and looking at her through large, amber eyes.
"Okay, so a woman has a seed inside her tummy," Rin began.
"Like a plant?" her daughter asked.
"Ano... yes. Like a plant. And a man has a seed too."
"In his tummy?"
The slow blush began spreading across her cheeks. "Sort of. Anyway, the man puts his seed inside the woman, and when the seeds join then that is going to become a tiny baby."
"How does the man get his seed in the woman?" the hanyou tilted her cute head questioningly.
Her blush deepened. "Ano..."
"Does she have to swallow it to get it in her tummy? How does it get out of the man?"
A choke came from a little way away. Rin, now with a positively bright red face, looked at Sesshoumaru, who was inwardly shaking with laughter. "It's not funny!" she huffed.
The taiyoukai spoke in a calm voice. "Natsumi, go and pick some flowers for your mother."
"Hai, Chichi-ue!" Natsumi sprang to her feet and hurried off. Rin stood up and walked over to join her husband.
"That was funny," Sesshoumaru said, smiling slightly.
"No it wasn t! I can never remember being more embarrassed!"
"Then you cannot possibly imagine how awkward it was for me when you asked where babies come from."
Rin slapped her forehead with mortification. "I am so sorry for torturing you," she said.
"I forgive you," he said playfully, kissing her softly before whispering in her ear, "But you have to finish telling Natsumi about the birds and the bees by yourself."
