The children giggle amongst themselves, paying more attention to their playful banter than my teachings on what plants are best for medicinal needs, but I don't mind. The laughter of children and their smiles fill my sad heart and for a little bit, I can pretend I'm teaching my own children about healing herbs. My hand drifts down to my empty womb and my heart squeezes painfully in my chest. When the well first closed, all those years ago, I was focused solely on finding my footing here in the feudal lands, but now, all I can think about, all I can pray for, is a family of my own. I yearn to feel my child kick in my belly, to feel my mates arms around me.
"Lady Kagome." The little girl in front of me tugs on my sleeve, pulling me out of my fantasies.
"Yes, Miomi?" I tuck a stray braid behind her ear and she giggles sweetly, my heart filling with love for the children of the village.
"May we go for the day? Tanji found a funny fish bone and we all want to see it before dinner." I nod my head and they all scatter, waving goodbye and promising to see me tomorrow for another lesson. I turn my face to the sky, letting the warmth from the sun seep into my skin. I love spring, it brings new flowers, warm nights and the sweet, alluring scent of mating season. The jewel thrums inside my chest, as if trying to tell me I need to find a mate. Ever since Midoriko put the jewel back inside my heart, my body has changed. My powers have grown of course, that's to be expected, but I now have this destiny laid out in front of me. It's prophesied that any child I bear, will be the strongest spiritual being to walk the feudal lands. When I first learned of this so-called foretold destiny, I rebelled. Why should the gods decide the fate of myself and my child? But, over the years, things what changed. I've grown, in strength and in wisdom, and all I want now, is to have a love of my own, and a baby at my breast. A new development that I've come to notice, is that my body has taken to the demonic energy around me. The mating scent now calls to me, body and soul, as if agreeing with me that it's time to find a mate. Unfortunately the only male I want, would never want me back.
"Kagome!" Sango waves me from her hut, a baby strapped to her back and another holding her hand. It must be time then. I quickly gather up my herbs and hurry with her to Lady Kaede's hut. Sesshomaru is here to check on Rin.

Sesshomarus POV:
Rin sits cross legged beside the old crone and tells me about her lessons. I nod along, half listening, and half searching for the scent of my Miko. The beast inside me smells her first, prickling under my skin as if begging to be let out and claim her. Finally, I'm greeted with the lovely view of my little Miko as she scurries inside with the slayer. Her hair is mussed from the wind and her pants have dirt smudges on them, but still, the vision of her makes my heart skip a beat, and the beast inside me, prowl as if unhinged. I want to take her aside and wax at her beauty, to tell her how her eyes sparkle when she talks about something or someone she loves, how her plump lips curl into the most breathtaking smile, how pure warmth radiates from her, where ever she goes, and how I yearn to make her mine. Instead, what comes out is less than desirable.
"You're late, and covered in dirt." The words are harsh and gruff and my beast howls inside my head, berating me for not being more kind to our Miko. Kagome flushes and sits down in a huff, dusting off her pants. The slayer merely sighs and hands her pup to the old crone.
"I was teaching a class, thank you very much. My life doesn't revolve around you Sesshomaru." She glares at me, before smiling sweetly at Rin, lightly running her hand down the girl's hair. What I wouldn't give to have that smile directed at me, though I won't lie and say I don't love her fiery spirit. It makes me want to throw her down and claim her, once and for all. I growl at my beast to settle, and focus solely on the conversation in front of me.
"Rin is doing exceptionally well in her training, and she is exceeding past her classmates." The slayer smiles at Rin and the girl blushes under their praise. My heart is light with happiness for my ward. She is a bright girl, and will go far in the world. I miss her endless chatter, but I knew to survive in this world, she would need to be around her own kind, if only for a time.
"Pretty soon she'll surpass me in her plant and herbs knowledge." Kagome tweaks the girls cheek and she giggles, leaning against Kagome. Kagome tosses her hair over her shoulder, and her intoxicating aroma fills my senses. My beast is stalking inside me, yowling to be let free, to claim our sweet-smelling Miko and I quickly stand up, thankful my armor is loose enough to hide my budding erection. I toss the bags of coins to the floor and stride to the entrance.
"Good, keep me informed." The slayer tries to smile at my brusque tone, but Kagome glares at me, her eyes narrowed.
"We're not done yet, Sesshomaru.." I don't stay to listen, instead lifting off into the sky, and away from my delectable Miko. Every fiber in my being tells me to go back, to take her in my arms, to confess my love to the beautiful woman below, but instead I fly further away, until I can no longer smell the sweet scent of temptation.
...
Kagomes POV:
"I'm sorry Rin. I'm sure Sesshomaru was very proud of you." The girl smiles brightly at me, and pats my hand, as if I'm the one who needs reassurances.
"I know he was Kagome, thank you." She moves over to coo at the baby and Sango rubs my shoulder.
"He's so infuriating Sango. As if the mere thought of being cooped up in a hut with human women disgusts him." My heart aches, yearning for him and the unrequited love I have for him. I wanted to bask in his presence, smell his aroma, just be around him, even if only for a bit. Now, all I want to do is cry. Go to my empty hut, curl up on my bedding, and cry for the love I'll never have. Maybe it's time, time to go out in the heat of the mating and find myself one, time to move on from Sesshomaru. With a heavy heart, and a resolve hardened idea, I head for my hut.
