Kagome gasped in shock and noticed that for once emotion shone clearly in Sesshoumarus face and eyes she looked deep into his eyes and could see both fear and hope .try as she might Kagome could not find her voice so instead she launched herself into Sesshoumarus arms actually knocking him over they both landed in a heap with her on top of him. He wrapped his arms around her and said "is that a yes" crying once again only this time in joy she nodded her head yes with that she saw him smile a big true smile that actually reached his eyes as he brought her head down to his and kissed her with all the emotion and relief that he had coursing through his body.

Separating only out of need for air Sesshoumaru looked deep in Kagomes eyes and said in a whisper " Kagome I love you more than life its self and Please never leave me" instantly concern clouded Kagomes eyes and Sesshoumaru saw this so before she had a chance to fall into despair again he said " Kagome its all right I know that you must finish your quest to recover the Shikon and Kill Naraku and that is all right I had a long talk with my brother and your friends today and they are all right with you being my mate as long as your happy" she sniffled once then a look of awe came to her face and she managed to squeak out " you went to talk to Inuyasha" Sesshoumaru smiled and said "yes they know everything even about my blindness"

Kagome was watching Sesshoumarus eyes and was amazed at the emotion that shone there. Then she watched as he separated a small lock of his silver hair and asked her to braid it, she gave him a quizzical look but did as she was bid then he separated a small lock of her hair and began to braid it into a tiny strand once she was done with his he picked her up and walked to a dresser and opened a drawer with his tail then shifted her so she was being held by one arm and his tail and reached into the dresser and pulled out a small knife and a sapphire cut into the shape of a crescent.

With the knife he quickly cut the small braid of his hair and looped the crescent onto it then he fastened the ends then he slipped it over her head and said now you will always have a way to contact me just grab hold and call my name. Then he took the tiny braid of her hair and cut it off as he had done his own he quickly tied the ends off and handed it to her she smiled as she put it over his head and pulled his hair through so that it was around his neck. He smiled and kissed her as he walked back to his bed then with a serious look on his face he said " you have agreed to be my mate Kagome but at this time I cannot protect you so please understand that I can not risk your safety by doing it now. But once your quest is finished then we will be come full mates" she looked at him and said " I don't understand" "I know my love " Sesshoumaru said "that is why I am going to explain it to you now; you see as Lady of the Western lands there will be those who would try and hurt you so for your safety I am going to wait but only until Naraku is defeated then we can be together finally I also wish that when it is time for the final battle with that damn Hanyou you will summon me" a dawning of understanding came to her eyes and she hugged him and said Sesshoumaru "thank you for being so understanding but you do know now you have two children right?" He smiled and said yes I know we have a Kitsune son and a Human daughter" she kissed him and said "yes we do".

Then Sesshoumaru said " be prepared here comes Rin and Jaken" a few moments after he said this there was a knock on his door and he said enter Kagome was still in his lap when Rin and Jaken entered. Rin bounced up on the bed with them and said "Are Sesshoumaru-sama and Kagome coming to dinner Rin is hungry" Sesshoumaru looked at the child and said yes Rin we are on our way with that said he stood and placed Kagome on her feet and they all walked down to the dining hall Sesshoumaru and kagome side by side with Rin between them and Jaken fallowing behind.
