A/N: Short chapter, I know, but it's all I have written for this story so far. Let me know if you want me to write more, ne?
The next morning, Kagome turned over in her bed, and opened her eyes slowly, only to find that the other side was occupied only by blanket and a pillow. She grumbled softly to herself, slightly angry that she had been deprived of having her husband's sleeping face be the first thing she saw, and of being deprived of her morning cuddle. She pulled herself out of bed, and went in search of him, wrapping herself in one of his robes on her way out of their bedroom.
She padded softly down the hallway to their daughter's room and slid open Rin's door silently, knowing to look for him there first. A warm smile graced her lips as the sight of their daughter sleeping peacefully in her husband's arms greeted her. She silently walked over and woke Sesshou-Maru with a kiss. She smiled softly as golden eyes opened slowly and met her own.
"Morning," she whispered, smiling.
The silver-haired youkai smiled rather wryly before pulling his wife's beautiful face in gently with one of his pale hands for another kiss.
"Mmmm... morning," he whispered, smiling against her lips.
Kagome returned the kiss and the smile. "I missed you last night. did Rin have a nightmare?"
Sesshou-Maru nodded. "She dreamed Kouga's wolves came here and murdered you and I in front of her."
His mate had an expression of worry and concern on her face at his words. "Well, it was only a nightmare, and I'm glad you were there to comfort her."
"Yes," he smiled up at Kagome playfully. "She seems to find my embrace comforting."
Kagome smirked and winked. "As do I, love." She looked down at the bundle of blankets surrounding their daughter and smiled. Kagome stroked Rin's hair softly and murmured, "Rin, it's time to wake up."
Rin's eyes fluttered open sleepily at the sound of her mother's voice. "Mmf...breakfast, mommy....can we go make it now? I'm really hungry..."
"Sure. But you have to get up off of your father, first." Kagome said, smiling amusedly. She stood up, helping Rin off of her father's chest gently.
The little girl, now fully awake, climbed off of the silver-haired youkai and started off towards the kitchen, tugging on her mother's hand. "Come on, mommy!" she said.
Kagome looked down at her daughter and smiled. "I'll be there in a minute, honey. Can you go get everything we need out? Today, we're having whatever you want. Go get your brother up and have him help you with the hard to reach thngs, ne?"
Rin smiled widely and nodded happily before dropping her mother's hand and skipping off in the direction of her older brother's room, leaving her parents alone.
Kagome swiftly replaced her daughter's place in the demon's lap. She snuggled into his chest as strong, familiar arms wrapped themselves around her lithe waist, pulling her closer. She placed her head in the curve of sesshou-Maru's neck, smiling softly.
"I love you so much." she whispered.
The silver-haired demon smiled as his hands slowly ventured up his wife's back, sending a series of shivers of pleasure through her body, and eventually finding themseves cupping her face gently, bringing it up to be level with his own.
"I know," he murmured softly, smiling warmly at her. "I love you, too."
With that, he leaned down and kissed her softly, his fingers gently stroking the sides of her face. Kagome smiled against her husband's lips and returned the kiss contentedly.
