AN: Sorry this has taken so long, but my laptop is messed up and all of my files are on it. I've finally found the written copy so that I can continue with the story, forgive me for any aggravation. This is the last chapter that I have pre-written so bear with me please.
Chapter 3 Kagome's Motherhood/Sesshoumaru's Increased Desire
Kagome was sitting beneath a tree, her fingers running through Shippo's hair while he slept in her lap when Sesshoumaru walked through the trees and into the small clearing. He was leading a two-headed dragon with a harness, and on the dragon's back was a little girl with black hair in a side ponytail and she was wearing a checkered orange and white kimono, and bringing up the rear was a little green toad demon named Jaken carrying the staff of two heads.
At the sight of Kagome, Rin slid off of the dragon's back and launched herself at Kagome, screaming "Kagome!" and not seeing the little red-headed fox demon sleeping in her lap.
Kagome was able to catch Rin before she landed on Shippo, but she was over balanced and they toppled over to the side laughing with Shippo rolling out of Kagome's lap and waking up.
When Shippo saw Rin, he jumped up and down in excitement; there was finally somebody else to play with him and Kagome. He watched as Rin gave Kagome a big hug and told her how happy she was to see her, and Kagome returning her hug and sentiments.
Sesshoumaru watched as his ward attacked the young miko with her excited affections; it almost made him smile to see how much the two ningen cared for each other. He knew that Kagome would willingly accept Rin as her own pup and treat her as such, and he would have to do the same for her kit, Shippo.
Once Rin finally released Kagome, she ran over to Shippo and they started a game of tag.
While the children were playing, the five adults sat around in the clearing doing their usual chores. Kagome was starting the fire, Sango was getting out the cooking supplies, Miroku was retrieving firewood, and Sesshoumaru agreed to go hunting for game with Inuyasha. Jaken and Kirara were keeping an eye on the running children to make sure that they stayed safe and within the clearing.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha returned with a deer before night fall. They skinned the deer and cut free the meat so that Kagome and Sango could cook it over the fire. Once everyone had eaten their fill, Kagome and Sango took the dirty cooking supplies and Rin and Shippo to the nearby river to quickly clean them up. Rin and Shippo were falling asleep where they stood.
While at the river, Kagome and Sango were discussing their plan to start Kagome's combat training and how to inform the rest of the group, mainly Inuyasha.
"Do you think we could just start and let him find out on his own?" asked Sango.
"That would probably just piss him off, we should just tell him once the children go to sleep, I don't want them to hear the foul language that's inevitably going to spew from his mouth," said Kagome.
"That's a good idea. We should start heading back, the kids are about to fall asleep."
Kagome looked over at her drowsy kit and the sweet little girl and smiled, "Okay."
On the way back to camp Sango carried the now clean cooking supplies, and Kagome had Shippo on one hip and Rin on the other. Each child had his or her head on one of Kagome's shoulders. Both Shippo and Rin fell asleep during the walk back to camp.
When the group of four entered the campsite, Sesshoumaru noticed Kagome gently carrying the two sleeping children. They created the perfect image of a loving mother and her two content children; this just made Sesshoumaru desire Kagome even more.
