Kagome continued her schooling, however, she was living in a house of her own, right beside of Sesshomaru, she had a nice yard, a three bedroom two bath house, with a hot tub to relax in. She and Rin hung out doing girl things, and once Rin found that she was pregnant again Kagome had a ball finding cute little stuff for her pup. She wondered if Sesshomaru ever would want pups with her, it had mad her sad to think that he may never want a pup with her because it would be hanyou. So she sat down with Sesshomaru one night,

"Sesshomaru, what do we do if we want pups? I want pups," Kagome softly, he raised his brow, he smirked,

"So soon? We aren't even mated yet," Sesshomaru chuckled a little,

"I'm serious, I mean whenever we have pups they will be hanyou," Kagome explained sadly.

"Kagome, when I mate you, I will mark you, there is also a tradition, it will turn you fully into a demon, you will have the life I have, that is if you want to," Sesshomaru explained,

"If I don't I will die before you, I don't want to leave you when I just got you back," Kagome tearing up.

"Then we shall perform the traditional ceremony, Kagome I wouldn't care if our pups were hanyou, I would still love them as much, because it would be a life we created together," Sesshomaru seriously, happy that she didn't want to die and leave him all alone without a mate. Kagome let a tear roll down her face,

"Good answer," Kagome smiling, Sesshomaru slowly wiped away her tears,

"You thought I didn't want to have kids because they would be hanyou," Sesshomaru stated. Kagome nodded,

"I have gotten over that centuries ago," Sesshomaru gently kissing her lips, she kissed him back.

"So the work on the shrine is almost done?" Kagome asked,

"Yes, my trusted associates have organized everything, they will be finishing up in a couple of months," Sesshomaru explained,

"Then I guess we should get ready to have a wedding," Kagome smiling, he raised a brow,

"I would like to marry you when the shrine is completely finished, I don't want nothing big, I just want a small wedding on the shrine," Kagome explained. He was so giddy, he aggressively kissed her lips, she laughed through the kiss,

"You have made this Sesshomaru such a happy male," Sesshomaru explained, Kagome smirked and hid in her hair,

"You don't have to be shy around me my little koi," Sesshomaru explained,

"Its just I've never, well, you know," Kagome glancing up at him, he purred, a virgin, he never thought he would ever be this lucky,

"I will be gentle with you my love," Sesshomaru softly explained. Kagome nuzzled against him,

"I don't know how you have changed but I'm glad you opened up, because I never thought, well, when I came back here to my home, all the men, they just didn't compare, after that Christmas that we shared together, I didn't want anyone but you, you saw me as me as Kagome Higurashi, and the way you let Rin in your life, I wanted to be in it too," Kagome softly. Sesshomaru rubbed her arm, he closed his eyes,

"Now you don't ever have to dream about that again, you are in my life, I do love you, and Rin is our daughter," Sesshomaru seriously. Kagome fell asleep on him with a smile on her face and her arm wrapped tightly around him.


Morning

Kagome and Sesshomaru took a ride to the shrine, sure Kagome had been visiting her mother but she had her own place as well, right beside Kagome, Sesshomaru was building the house bigger for them so it wouldn't be so cramped because her mother still wanted to live there. Her mother hadn't seen the shrine yet, Kagome wanted to keep it a surprise for her, Rin and Kagome's mother got along well, after all she was Rin's grandmother, they enjoyed cooking and baking, and when Rin told her she was going to be a great grandmother she about hit the floor. Kagome and Sesshomaru arrived at the shrine, they walked hand in hand up the stairs, he heard her grumbling about the stupid amount of stairs there were. He couldn't help but smile, this was where she had lived, and he enjoyed being there and seeing it, he didn't want to change the place he just wanted to restore it back to its original state, hopefully it would bring the crowds of tourist and students and her mother could live with the money that it was making, if not he would offer her a place in his company, if she didn't want to take that offer and was content in staying and taking care of the shrine and visitors and if it wasn't making any money he would help with the bills, Kagome's mother and brother were very important to her and he made them his very important people, Sesshomaru had praised her mother for how she had raised Kagome, and without her father, it had been rough on them but she had gotten through it. Kagome gasped when she saw the shrine, it was just like in the picture her grandfather had shown her long ago,

"Wow, I wish grandpa was here to see this, of course he wouldn't be too pleased with it that I am mating with a demon, he would have had a heart attack if he knew I was mating the Lord Sesshomaru," Kagome babbling, Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her waist,

"My love he can see, and I am sure his mind has changed about this Sesshomaru now that he can see how his family is being treated," Sesshomaru raising her chin, she smirked, she leaned against his chest and sighed a happy sigh,

"You are amazing," Kagome softly spoke.

"Its all for you my little koi," Sesshomaru smiling as he laid his head on top of hers,

"Thank you," Kagome looking up at him and giving him a simple kiss. He caressed her cheek and deepened the kiss, when they finally pulled away he grabbed her hand and took her to show her the rest of the organized place.


Few days later

Kagome called Rin up,

"Hey sweetie, look, your father is trying to set me up a wedding planner, yeah I know right, sometimes I wish he would push, yeah I know he wants to give me all these beautiful things, but I just want a small wedding, so I finally talked him into it, but I had to make him happy with a large outside dinner at the shrine and have it catered, anyway, I want you to help me with the wedding, you feel up to it? Great, thank you," Kagome explained. Rin, Kagome's mother, and Kagome herself went shopping for dress and shoes and everything that goes with the dress. Kagome was just about to give up on dress shopping because they were too flashy or too not her, she wanted something her, and she thought Rin and her mother were just picking out what they thought she should wear, they meant well, because it was her big day they both wanted the best for her, and why not Rin was her daughter and she did have her mother with her and she wanted to dress her up as a princess since she was technically marrying a lord. Finally she called it quits after lunch, around one in the afternoon,

"I cant look at another dress," Kagome explained. Rin and her mother both went home, Kagome laid on her bed, she sighed, an hour later she went back out, she went to a cheaper store than the ones they had been going to she was thinking it was a sign that they weren't meant to be together, she grew so sad because she wanted to belong to him, she wanted to have a life with him, she wanted everything with him, she wanted… she glanced up as she walked into the store, she wanted that dress, it was perfect. She quickly ran over to the dress, she checked it over, it was perfect, a nice tail in the back, a v neck in the back and front, pure white, she looked at the size, she finally noticed a salesperson,

"I need to try this dress on please," Kagome explained, the saleslady came over,

"I don't think you want that one, there are some cheaper ones a block over," the saleslady explained, Kagome blinked at her,

"Excuse me?" Kagome confused, she laughed a little,

"Give me a moment," Kagome getting out her phone, she dialed Sesshomaru's phone number,

"Hey my little koi," Sesshomaru smiling on the other end of the phone.

"I need a little help, this lady thinks I cant afford this dress," Kagome laughing, Sesshomaru knew Kagome, so whatever dress she had picked out was probably less than $1,000,

"Put this woman on the phone," Sesshomaru explained, Kagome handed her cell phone to the lady, Kagome smiled, the lady was pale and hands were sweating,

"Yes sir, I'm sorry sir, yes, anything she wants, yes of course," the lady handing the phone back to Kagome.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know," the lady explained,

"And you shouldn't be so quick to judge, now I would like to try that dress on," Kagome seriously,

"Yes of course mamm," the lady walking over and pulling it off the manikin and letting her try it on.

"I also have the perfect shoes for that dress, if you would like to see them and make your opinion on them," the lady being extra nice,

"Oh please, thank you," Kagome smiling as she went to the dressing room and tried on the dress, the lady gave her the shoes afterward, Kagome slipped them on, she loved them, and they did match the dress,

"I'll take it," Kagome explained. Satisfied with her purchase she was walking out when she saw the cutest pink flower girl dress, it would have fit Rin when she was a little kid, Kagome frowned wishing Rin was a little girl again so she could have had a flower girl. She walked out and was on her way home, she had walked to the store and was on her way home now, she was taking a shortcut home through an alleyway which wasn't the cleanest place to travel, but she could protect herself now that she had controlled her miko powers enough to push her powers through her hands. She was walking through the alley when she heard something in the trash bin, she wasn't scared, she waited, the lid on the trash bin was pushing upward but the someone that was in there didn't have enough strength to push it up, Kagome helped, what she found was a little black head girl, Kagome gasped, the little girl cringed as if Kagome was going to hurt her,

"Oh no, sweetie, I wont hurt you, oh god, please don't eat that," Kagome explained as she pulled the rotted bread out of the little girl's hand and helped her out,

"I'm Kagome, do you have a name?" Kagome asked, the little girl nodded,

"Do you want to tell me?" Kagome asked calmly, the little girl shook her head,

"Okay, you don't have to, but I have a place for you to stay, it's a lot nicer than this place, I'll take care of you," Kagome smiling, the little girl accepted her hand that Kagome held out for her, Kagome let a tear leak out of her eye, but she took the little girl to her home.
