Sesshomaru looks at Hope as they stare at each other a moment unsure what to say now.
She says, "I am sure you can find a willing mate to birth you an heir to your estate."
He says with a smirk, "A willing woman that is power hungry…"
She looks at him and asks, "But are you not the same way?"
He looks at her coldly at first but then sadly and says, "Yes I was like that once. However the love of a child changed my heart."
Hope sighs and says, "I don't know how to help you. I am not a suitable mate for you. My tainted blood seals that fact."
Sesshomaru looks at her shocked for a moment then he realizes that she probably grew up with people saying that to her.
He slowly steps towards her and takes her in his arms.
He says running his fingers through her hair, "I used to think that of half-demons but it is not true. When it comes down to it, you can be as strong as a full demon."
