A/N I'm really surprised that all my guest reviewers haven't gotten the gist yet that your opinion on my art here doesn't matter.
Yes, it is OOC but that's because I'm allowed to be. Don't like it? Don't read.
YES, this story revolves around a master/slave situation as I have a personal taste for bdsm.
Don't like that either?
gasps don't read it

{well, lady's right. different strokes for different folks so while your opinion does matter it'd be easier on both sides if you just ignored this story if it's not your cup of tea ^^ Still... I think I should gag her a little when she starts talking too much, whaddya think? [d.]}
That said, enjoy!
((Smut coming soon!))

The sliding door flung open to allow the patter of little feet to fly down the wooden hallways flooring.
"Mama!" Shippo's high pitched voice screeched alerting the keen ears of the feline priestess. She looked up from her finger weaving.
She had decided to make cords out of the random strings Sesshomaru sometimes gave her.
She braced herself as the door was flung aside and Shippo bounded into the room.
"Mama! Mama!" He nuzzled into the crook of her neck causing a giggle to escape her as she fell back onto the pillows surrounding her.
"Hello baby! What did you do today?!" Kagome smiled, petting his hair.
He sat back on her arm to look in her face. "Well...we ate some rice, did some lessons and then Sesshomaru-sama came and took me for sword lessons! He says when I am older I can go to the fox academy and learn even better!"
"So you need to grow big and strong, be the best fox you can! Did you play with Rin?" Kagome smiled and settled her kit in her lap. He looked up then back down at the cord laying across Kagome's knee.
"Sesshomaru-sama took Rin on a walk. I played with her after lessons in the garden. She fell when I jumped out of the flowers at her. The lady with us scolded me. Rin was fine though! She wasn't bleeding!" Shippo sighed as Kagome started finger weaving again as she listened.
"Sometimes hurting some one isn't shown in blood. Maybe Rin did find it funny, but maybe it scared her more than anything. It could have hurt her feelings too, ya know?" Kagome tried to explain. Shippo sighed and leaned his head back against her chest, cushioned by her breasts. He ran his paws across the white fabric of her dress.
"Did Sesshomaru-sama hurt you by changing you?" He asked, quirking his head up.

Kagome sighed and looked down. "Yes, but it's not all bad either."

"Would you want it changed, mama?"
"I do like the ears..." She smiled at him.
Just then another set of feet pattered down the hall, followed by the swish and clink of Sesshomaru's garb.

"Lady Kagome!" Rin exclaimed as she charged through the opened door and fell onto the nearest pillow. Her favorite kimono was shortened to around her knees allowing her movement for play.
"Hello Rin! Did you have fun on your walk?" Kagome smiled, bending around Shippo, who squeaked in protest, to hug Rin.
"Yes! Rin loves walking with Sesshomaru-sama!" She beamed as Kagome hugged her.

Sesshomaru paused at the door.
He had had a long day of meetings and paperwork. He had had to dress in his official clothing, which itched and was heavy. Of course it wasn't that heavy for him but it didn't mean he enjoyed it any more. He unstrapped his katanas and stripped off the unnecessary layers of clothing. He slid the door shut and paced towards his wards and pet.

It pleased him to see his little pack in such a good upbeat mood. He sat with his back to the fireplace. It had chilled considerably outside, the leaves were falling. He made sure that the fire was kept up as his wards and pet would not be able to handle this cold.
He watched as Kagome tried to teach the two young ones to finger weave.

He felt relaxed, completed. Though this time there was something that bothered him when Kagome locked eyes with him.
