Just has fast as it had come, it was time for Sesshoumaru to leave again. "Sesshoumaru," Kagome whispered to him as they woke up before the others. "Are you sure that you have to go?" Sesshoumaru chucked softly kissing her.

"Yes. I have to," Kagome sighed as she kissed him before standing up, both dressed silently, then once dressed they stared at each other for a few minutes memorizing every single detail in their faces. Sesshoumaru blinked slowly taking Kagome by the hand.

"Kagome. I promise this war will not last much longer. And when it is finished, I promise you I will return to you, and make sure that you are the happiest woman in the world," Kagome smiled softly while looking at him adoringly. Sesshoumaru felt like he didn't deserve the look coming from her making his stomach tingle. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him softly, while Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around her waist.

Slowly drawing her head back, she smirked at him playfully. "I knew there was a reason why I loved you," Sesshoumaru chuckled.

"Is that so?"

"Yes. It is," Kagome kissed him again.

"Hmm. I knew my devilishly good looking looks would get to you sooner or later," Kagome stared at him with shock for a minute, before laughing.

"Oh, you conceited little puppy!" he growled playfully at her.

"I am no puppy," he kissed her fiercely, making Kagome weak in the knees.

"Ah, yes. When you kiss me like that no one would think of you as a puppy," Kagome whispered slowly opening her eyes. Sesshoumaru smirked at her.

"Exactly. As where would a puppy learn to kiss like this?" Sesshoumaru brushed his lips against hers, nipping at her lower lip, letting the tips of their tongues meet, before drawing his own back, refusing to letter her deepen the kiss.

"Where the hell did you learn how to kiss like that?" Sesshoumaru chuckled.

"Let's go my mate. Let's eat before the others wake, and after that... I think a walk will be nice," Kagome smiled at him softly.

"What's getting into you?" Sesshoumaru looked at the floor slightly, before saying.

"If the war does not end in this next month, then I will not see you till next month. I rather that I spend as much time with you as possible, before our relationship falls apart. I have seen many youkai mates grow to hate each other, because of war," Kagome kissed his cheek.

"We are not going to fall apart. I won't let it," Kagome kissed him again softly and sweetly. "Come on. Let's go get something to eat. Oh! Think we should pack it then eat outside somewhere. What do you think?" Kagome was all ready thinking of all the romantic things that could happen. Sesshoumaru smiled softly at his mate's happy face.

"How could I refuse?" he chuckled when Kagome yipped softly with happiness flying from the door. Sesshoumaru walking behind smiling, and shaking his head slightly.

~~

Kagome and Sesshoumaru held hands as they walked through the woods. They held a comfortable silence just enjoying being in each other's presence.

"Kagome," Sesshoumaru said after awhile.

"Yes?"

"You are a miko, yet I have yet to see you use it in more then two years. Why?"

"I never really found a reason to use it in the past years. I don't want to be a miko as strong as Kikyo ever was,"

"Then what do you want?"

"We are what I was want. Is together. Me to be by your side,"

"I am glad that my mate is pleased at just being by my side. Tell me... If I was poorer then InuYasha, would you still love me as much?" Kagome smiled.

"I don't think InuYasha is poor, but I would love you all the same,"

"InuYasha own nothing more the clothes on his back and his sword at his hip,"

"But he has friends, people that love him. And he has stolen every female heart in the village, without even realizing what he's doing. You know, he's matured so much in our travels,"

"He has," Sesshoumaru once again fell into a comfortable silence with Kagome.

"Sesshoumaru,"

"Hn?"

"What do you think of Akira and Rin?" Kagome giggled at the look he gave her.

"I think it was unexpected. I also think Rin is a little young to be doing the 'activities' they most likely do together," Kagome smiled,

"All they do is kiss."

"Let's hope for their sake, that's all they do!" Kagome laughed.

"You fit the role of a protective father nicely,"

"Let's hope so," Sesshoumaru looked proud. "This a good place to stop and eat," Kagome gasped slightly, blushing as she looked around, all ready knowing, that Sesshoumaru was smirking at her.

"I didn't think we walked out this far!" Kagome said softly, looking out into the clearing where they had made the pact.

"Come... Let's eat," Sesshoumaru took her hand again leading her under a small tree for shade. He watched as Kagome fixed their plates, taking in from her, saying his thanks.

"So how is Kouga's son?" Kagome asked.

"He's growing tall and strong... And has strong impulsive desires to kill my servant Jaken," This had sent Kagome into a fit of laughter.

"Jaken must be going mad with you gone," Sesshoumaru smirked.

"Indeed that is true. Though that is only true, if he is still alive," Once again they fell into an easy silence, eating their meal in peace. Sesshoumaru slowly raised an eyebrow as set Kagome set down her plate, crawling on all fours up to him.

"You are trying to tempt me," he said amusement clear in his voice and eyes.

"I all ready have," Kagome whispered sexily, slowly sliding her hand up his thigh. Sesshoumaru smirked as he tackled her playfully, sending them both rolling down the hill together, Kagome laughing delightedly.

Finally when they stopped Sesshoumaru lay on top of her in-between her legs.

"Hn," Sesshoumaru's eyes drifted around them slightly. "Interesting..." Kagome blushed, as she realized they where in the same spot 'exactly' where they had make the pact.

"Kami," Kagome whispered slightly. Sesshoumaru looked back down at her, smirking.

"Shall we continue?" he dipped his head to kiss her. Kagome met him half way.

~~

"Sesshoumaru's gone as well," Akira walked back into the parlor, where Rin, (Who was holding Kanzaburo) and InuYasha waited.

"I love the fact that they left a not. Oh what does it say?" InuYasha said sarcastically looking down at the note that they left. "Oh, yes, here we go; 'Gone...Be back later'! Oh so great descriptions!" Rin giggled. "I just love it." Rin giggle turned into a light laugh.

"My father's with her, so it shouldn't be so bad."

"Yes it will!" InuYasha cried throwing his hands in the air.

"How?" Akira asked, sitting down in one of the chairs, pulling Rin down on his lap.

"Two love birds. By them selves in a world full of demons! Just think about the odds against them."

"But it's my father!"

"Oh yes! The mighty Sesshoumaru is on the prowl! Kami save those under his claws!" Rin had to jump off Akira's lap as he fell to the ground in his hysterics at the picture that InuYasha made. InuYasha had his hands in the air, claws out stretched as he glared at them, his mouth wide open.

"Hello?" A female voice behind them asked. Akira jumped up at the voice.

"Yukari?! Is that you?!" Rin looked between the two with suspicious eyes.

"Akira! Oh finally!" the female smiled brightly meeting Akira halfway in the room, in a fierce hug. InuYasha shocked stayed in his position staring at the two.

Akira laughed as he stepped away. "Rin! This is my sister! She's been traveling a lot under the work of Kouga, trying to seek peace through out the wolf tribes. I used to travel with her, until I was given to Sesshoumaru." Rin smiled brightly, as all suspicion fled from her eyes.

"So this is the Rin I keep hearing about in my older brothers letters!" Yukari said shaking her head. "And..." Yukari stopped as she looked at the bundle in Rin's arms. She silences immediately. "Is that truly Prince Kanzaburo?" she said in an awed whisper. "His story is famous across the land, on how the baka Sakura all most killed him." Rin nodded.

"Yes. He is Prince."

"And a fine one at that," Akira said laughing. "Yukari, this is InuYasha. The man behind the scenes!" he laughed softly. Yukari smiled brightly at him.

"How are you InuYasha?" InuYasha and Yukari shook hands.

"I'm fine. You?" he said slightly tense.

"I'm great." Yukari said in a quiet voice. InuYasha and Yukari continued to stare at each other. Akira looked at the two with raised eyebrows waiting for one of them to snap out of it.

It was the door opening with two softly chuckling voices that brought them out of the their own privet world. InuYasha dashed around the empty door frame of the parlor into the hallway.

"Where the hell have you two been?" he asked rudely.

"I wasn't aware that I had to ask your permission to go anywhere with my mate." Sesshoumaru's cold voice returned. Akira shook his head slightly.

"Here they go." he whispered softly.

"Well you appointed us as Kagome's protector, so you could at least TOLD us where you where going!"

"I didn't appoint you as Kagome's protector. I appointed Akira."

"THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU TROOP YOUR WHOLE FAMILY HERE! WE DON'T NEED TO BE WORRING ABOUT ANY THING MORE THEN YOUR NO GOOD FAMILY!" InuYasha yelled. Yukari jumped expecting screaming and yelling and killing to take over the household. But the only screaming done was from Kanzaburo as he was rudely awakened from his nap. The rest seemed perfectly calm with the fact of InuYasha's screaming, or not even cared.

Kagome came into the parlor looking at Yukari oddly, but went to Kanzaburo. "Hand him to me Rin, I'll calm him down." she said lifting up her son. Sesshoumaru walked into the room as well staring at Yukari.

"Who are you?" he asked bluntly. Yukari bowed deeply to Kagome and Sesshoumaru.

"Forgive me for not introducing my self properly Milord and Lady!" Yukari said. "I am Yukari, younger sister of Akira." Kagome smiled brightly at her.

"Welcome to our home Yukari. I'm sure you will enjoy it here, if you look past the pouting puppy over there." she giggled as InuYasha cracked his claws but stood with great effort not to yell at her. The look that Sesshoumaru had given him with Kanzaburo screamed out had promised murder. "Please excuse us." she said sweetly, as she left the room, Sesshoumaru nodded once at her, as Yukari bowed deeply in awe again watching them goes.

"As you pretty much guessed that was Kagome and Sesshoumaru." Akira said laughing slightly. "So," he said sitting back down in the chair. "How long is your stay here?"

"Just enough to visit." Yukari said sitting down opposite of him in another chair. "The war has stopped me traveling any further, so I am trapped in this village."

"That is another question I have. How did you get it. This village is closed off from the plague. No one is to leave and no one is to go."

"Oh, the guards should be up by now. They should only have a headache." Akira grinned.

"That's is just like you, Yukari. Just like you."
