Sesshomaru roamed once more. He waited around for two days before gathering Rin and Jaken and taking leave again.
Rin was pleased to be on the move again.
But as Sesshomaru watched her play in the field of flowers, his mind went to his daughter. He wondered would he ever see her again?
The Miko had not come to him which meant she still had not figured it out.
"Rin!"
Sesshomaru turned at the sound of her voice.
"Father!"
Kagome had let her return.
"Tacori!" Rin yelled, and Sesshomaru watched as the two children ran to each other and hugged.
"Tacori" Sesshomaru stated, and she looked at him and smiled that smile that looked so much like her mothers.
"Momma said I couldn't stay long."
"How long can you stay?" Rin asked,
"Well, momma said that if it ok with father I can spend the night!"
Sesshomaru felt an odd feeling in his chest at her words.
"Lord Sesshomaru, can Lady Tacori stay?"
"Hn" He wanted her to.
The girls jumped up and down and he, he sat down and watched over them as they played.
Never in his long life did he think he would be watching over two little girls. One human, one half and both his.
Sesshomaru actually sighed.
"Mi Lord!" Jaken yelled an hour later, and Sesshomaru looked up just in time to see Sango's demon cat flying.
"Lady Kagome!" Rin yelled and waved.
Sesshomaru knew it was the Miko of this time.
The demon cat came down, and he stood back up.
"Tacori your back!" Kagome stated as she slid off the cat "Hi Rin!"
Both girls ran up to her "What are you doing ma- I mean Lady Kagome" Tacori caught her words just in time.
"I had to get some stuff for Inuyasha and Shippo" She smiled,
"Miko"
Kagome looked up at see Sesshomaru "Hope you don't mind the visit."
"It is getting late is it not?"
Kagome looked up "Inuyasha, and the rest are far off."
Rin and Tacori looked back and forth between two as they spoke.
"Is that supposed to mean something Miko?"
Kagome put her hands on her hips "And what is that supposed to mean"
"It is unsafe for you to travel so late, why is my brother not with you."
"Its late afternoon Sesshomaru, not nightfall and Inuyasha is not my keeper thank you very much."
"The dead one has returned"
Rin and Tacori watched as Kagome turned red and Tacori quickly decided to intervene.
"Lady Kagome"
Kagome quickly looked down "Hai?"
"Can you stay awhile?"
"For how long?"
"The child will be staying the night," Sesshomaru told her,
Kagome looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Cant you stay the night with me to Lady Kagome!" Taciro looked at her with big wide eyes and quivering bottom lip.
"I dunno Tacori, I'm not sure Inuyasha would be happy about that" She looked up "Or your dad for that matter" She giggled, it was so odd calling Sesshomaru a dad.
"Is he not with his dead lover this night Miko, does he not turn human this night?"
Kagome glared at him.
"Do as you please Miko."
Kagome looked at the girls again and caved "Ill need to let them know."
"Jaken" Sesshomaru called,
"Yes mi Lord?" Jaken knew what was about to happen.
"Send word to the monk and slayer."
"Yes mi Lord."
Rin and Tacori cheered and jumped up and down again.
Kagome smiled, and Sesshomaru watched her.
How could she not see that the little girl before her was theirs? Yes, she looked a great deal like him, but she had her mothers smile. Kagome looked at him and smiled warmly at him, and he was taken aback. She had never smiled like that at him before.
It was that smile.
"Are you pleased Miko?"
"I'm glad that's all."
And for some reason, that pleased him.
