Sesshomaruwalked down the hall holding his new born in his arms. As he past everyone watched, silent. He had the baby dress in a dress of white and red, something close to what he wore and he then told the maid to prepare the room next to his to fit a baby girl, a princess and he warned them that it had better be breath taking, that his daughter was to have nothing but the best.
Sesshomaru looked down at his sleeping child, dark was her hair, like her mother.
"What will you name her my son?"
Sesshomaru looked up at his father "Name her?"
"You do intend on giving her a name, do you not?" A silly question,
"Yes" Sesshomaru said, yes it was his job to name his child, he had not know tho, that the said child would be a girl.
"May I?" His father asked, he wanted to hold his granddaughter. Sesshomaru gave up his daughter to his father and watched as the old demon smile "She is beautiful my son"
"Indeed" Of course she was, she was after all his daughter. Just then a knock was heard "Enter" Sesshomaru spoke, bringing the maid outside in "My Lords, the Lady request to see the child"
Sesshomaru turn to his father and took back his daughter "I shall take her"
"Very well my son"

Sesshomaru entered the room to find Kagone sitting up, her hair down and wild, but a beautiful kind of wild. A smile graced her face when he entered, but he knew it was not because of him, but of what he held near him, their daughter.
Sesshomaru came close and slowly lowered their daughter back in her mothers arms, he then stood back and watched. Kagome looked down at her daughter and smiled, a smile only a mother could give, a mother deeply in love. Sesshomaru stood there and watch the two girls in his life, both with their fare skin and black hair, both his, and both beautiful. Yes beautiful did the woman who bared his child look to him at that moment. The it came to him, her name,
"Kumiko"
Kagome looked up "What?"
"Her name, it shall be Kumiko"
Kagome smiled, what a beautiful name "Long time, beautiful child" Kagome spoke, "Its perfect" She said looking down at her child "Kumiko, you shall be Kumiko, by order of your father"
Yes it was true that, that was what the baby's name meant, but that was not the only reason he had chosen it, not only was his daughter beautiful, but his mate was as well, even if it was just now that he realised it. He chose the name for one more reason, it held Kagome's name to, well the one he called her by, miko, then end of the name spelled miko.
Pride hit him when he heard Kagome's words to their daughter, telling her that her name was to be by his order, pride indeed. "I shall send in your friends, if you are well"
Kagome looked up "I'm well"
Sesshomaruturned and opened the door, letting everyone flow in, he warned them all tho, that if they made his daughter cry, they would be thrown out.
Everyone was happy to see Kagome well, and very happy to see her daughter.
"Her name is Kumiko" She told them, she surprised them all tho when she told them that it was in fact he that had named her.
"My mate needs rest" Sesshomaru spoke
Inuyasha wanted to huff, since when did hisbrother care? Everyone left just them same.
Sesshomaru took his daughter and placed her in the crib Kagome had made some time back. He then order for food to be brought, tho Kagome didn't eat much, she was tired.
"Sleep miko"
"What if she needs me?"
"I shall tend to her"
"But, you will wake me if she needs me?"
Sesshomaru looked to the woman, whom he was sitting close to "If you wish it"
"Yes"
"Then yes, now sleep"
Sleep she did, and she slept all night.

Kagome woke up to crying, she jumped up without a thought, the world turning on her a bit. Kagome did her best to run to the sound of her new born, it was coming from the bathroom. Kaome rushed in and stopped, there in the middle of the water was Sesshomamru, their baby on his shoulder, his hand pouring water over her back.
The baby cried and Kagome gasp, bringing Sesshomaru's attention to her "Why is she crying?" Kagome asked, taking a few steps forward. "Perhaps you should join us"
Kagome was taken back, he wanted her to join him, in the bath?
The baby cried again "Perhaps it will easy her miko"
Sesshomaru's eyes still on her. Without a thought Kagome undressed, right in front of him, her eyes hard on the baby, and not him. He watched as she undress, heat filling him, tho he pushed it back, now was not that time. Kagome got into the water and walked up to him, she placed her hand on the baby's back. She cried out again.
"Perhaps she wishes for her mother" Sesshomaru spoke,
Sesshomaru turned the baby around and handed her to Kagome. Kagome took the baby close to her breast and lowered herself into the water. The warm water calmed the baby and she stopped crying, Kagome could feel her little legs kicking. Kagome giggled.
"What is funny miko?"
"She's kicking"
Sesshoamru leaned down and nuzzled his daughters cheek, Kagome watched. Sesshomaru leaned up a bit and his eyes met Kagome's, they both froze for a moment. They were both unfroze when a knock was heard. Kagome's back was to the door, and she was lowered into the water, Sesshomaru was leaning over her, tho just in case. "Enter"
A maid came in with a towel "Perhaps the princess is ready to get out my Lord?"
Sesshomaru looked down, it would seem that she was ready for a nap "Very well"
The old woman came close to Kagome and held the towle in her hand, ready to receive the baby. Kagome placed the child in the older womans arms "You will put her in her crib wont you?"
"If you wish"
"Yes, thank you"
Then the woman and baby were gone. Kagome watched them leave, she turned back and looked down at the water, forgetting just who was in the water with her. That was in till she felt his finger lift her chin
"She will be fine"
Kagome just looked at him, him standing there with no damn shirt. "I, I know"
Sesshomaru let his hand fall, now what? What could he say or do. "Do you doubt me?" He asked, he was not sure if he was trying to start a fight or not. "What, no"
"You seem unsure miko"
"No, I, I trust you"
She was looking at the water again. She felt the water move and looked up, he was closer, his hand once again holding her chin "How much do you trust me miko?"
His voice low "I, I don't know what you mean?"
"Do you trust me to protect her miko?'
"Yes"
"To protect you?"
She was not sure but, "Yes"
"Do you trust me enough for my touch?'
His hand holding tighter to her chin, Kagome's hand moved up to his, she tried to pull his hand away. "I see your answer is no"
"What?" Kagome whispered
He came closer, she was now standing and he was leaning onto her "Do you trust your me enough to kiss me miko or are you afraid?"
She looked at his lips, did he want to kiss her? She was not afraid of him! She looked up at his eyes again, if he was waiting for a answer he was going to be waiting a long time. He leaned his face in, he waited for her to back away, she didn't. His lips touched hers, he waited for her to back away, she didn"t. He pushed his lip harder in to the kiss, biting her bottom lip, wanting in, he waited for her to push him away, she didn't. He kissed her with want and heat, he waited for her tongue, her lips, he waited for her to kiss back, and she did.
