I didn't want you to know

He followed her back to her apartment it wasn't on the best side of town. He heard a gun shot from an area not to far from where she had stopped and it even made him nervous being there. The place was rather run down looking and seemed to need quite a few repairs. He could see a few members of what he guessed was a gang meeting on the corner up ahead. Someone knocked on his car window. It was kagome.

"Why did you follow me? I told you I didn't want you to come here."

"It's too dangerous for you here. You and Sango pack some clothes your coming back to my home, at least till we can find you a more suitable residence than this. I will not have you living here."

"Well excuse me if this isn't good enough for you. I've been living on a very tight amount of money and it's hard to find a place in the nicer areas that are cheap."

"It's not good enough for the three of you. I refuse to loose you to a gang war or someone who thinks they can prey on an unsuspecting woman with a child. Please come back with me."

"Well he sounds truly worried for our safety and I bet where he lives you don't wonder if some stray bullet is going to kill you or your daughter one night." She thinks it over for a few seconds before deciding. "Alright fine we will follow you home just give me a few minutes to pack and to tell Sango."

"She ran up the stairs with Sakura and went into the apartment to tell Sango to pack.

"Sango you here?"

"Ya I'm in the back she yelled."

"Sesshomaru followed me home. He wants us to follow him back to his home. So pack some close he's ancy about us leaving quickly."

"Are you serious he wants us to come to his mansion? I've only been there once for a party but it was huge."

"Yep. He wants us to stay with him."

"Ok I'm all for that."

"Well then get your stuff together and let's go."

They got there stuff and put it into their cars and followed him home. Sakura was asleep in the back of the car and kagome was thinking. "You know I think between him, Inuyasha, and their parents they like to live in the middle of nowhere. I can't believe I forgave him so easily, and Sakura took to him so quickly as though she had always known him."

They turned off the road and were on a smaller one that seemed to have no end. When they finally got to where they could see the house kagome no longer thought of it as just a house. "Holy shit it's massive." She thought

They pulled up along the side of the house. Sango and kagome moved to get their things but were told to stop "leave your things. I will send someone down to get them. Come one I will show you to your rooms."

They walked up the stairs to the third floor.

"Sango this is where you will be staying. If you need anything there is an intercom next to the door."

"Thank you."

"Kagome follow me I will show you Sakura will be sleeping and then your room."

They walked down the hall and came to a room that looked like a young girls.

"I know you have no sisters and you never mentioned another child before to me, but do you have another child with someone else?"

"I adopted a young girl about a year ago. She is currently with my parents."

"How old is she and what's her name?"

"Her name is Rin and she is 5."

"Awww... that was really sweet of you to have adopted her."

"So I have been told many times."

Kagome laid Sakura down on one of the beds planning to come back and change her clothing in a little while after she had seen the rest of the house. She kissed her forehead and walked out of the room.

They walked up the hall a little ways before stopping in front of two doors.

Now you have two choices you can stay in this room here," he pointed to the one on the right, "or in this one here." He pointed to the one on the left." The one on the left though is my room. I will not force you it is your choice."

"I'm going to stay in this room." She pointed to the one on the right. "It's too soon. We've only been around each other less than a day and if it weren't for the fact that you wanted us out of our apartment so bad I wouldn't even be here. We can't just pick up where we left off."

"I know it's your decision to make I wont force you to do something that you don't want to do."

"Come on lets watch one of those movies I brought you."

"He led her back down stairs and to the living room. He picked up the video "Sakura's birth." As they watched it kagome cuddled closer to him. He heard her say in the video, "I swear next time I see that asshole I'm going to kill him for this." He laughed lightly at her words "you have yet to live up to your words."

"I think I'll wait." She suddenly got a sad look in her eyes and said, "I just wish you could have been there to see it."

"She was a beautiful baby. I should have been there. I'm sorry I wasn't."

"You're here now though and that's what counts."

"I want to invite your family here for the week. My parents and Inuyasha will be here and I want them to get to know each other."

"And why is that?"

"Eventually I want to make you mine."

"Really." She smiled

"Yes really. I want to have you all to my self one day."

He kissed her forehead and held her close to him wanting to be able to feel her next to him forever.

"Well there is an early riser upstairs and we should be getting to bed."

"I think I know where she got that from."

"Well I know it wasn't from me," she replied, "I like my sleep."

"It's a demon thing. Every one I know, excluding Inuyasha, gets up early."

"Yes, another thing I blame on you.'

"What else is there?"

"She first learned what the word no meant and that she couldn't do everything that she wanted she had a glare that would have killed you if it could. It rivaled some of yours."

"You know you never answered about your family coming."

"Well Souta and grandpa would love it. Mom is another story. When I told her we worked in the same company she wanted me to quit and never see you. She doesn't even know i've talked to you."

"So I'm not on her good list currently."

"Defiantly not."

"I'm going to change that and show her how much I regret leaving you."

They walked into Sakura's room and kagome pulled out some of her daughter's clothes to change them so she wouldn't be uncomfortable. Sango had already gone to bed after a very long bath.

They stopped in front their doors.

"Well good night Sesshy-chan."

"Good night Kagome, sleep well."

Both went to bed thinking about what their future may hold.

The next morning.....

"MOMMY!!! MOMMY WHERE ARE YOU!" Sakura sat down in the floor upset and confused not knowing where she was a started crying.

Sesshomaru came out into the hall and picked her up.

"Shhhh. Sakura its ok. Mommy's still asleep. Were at my house. I've got an idea; let's go make breakfast for mommy and aunt Sango."

She tries to whisper to him but doesn't very well.

Ok daddy but we have to be very quiet."

"Alright, I'll do my best"

Neither noticed Sango and kagome peak out their doors.

After they had gone down stairs the girls snuck out of their rooms to go down stairs and kagome made sure to carry her camera with her.

When they got to the kitchen they peaked around the corner and watched sesshomaru place Sakura on the counter and turn around get a few things from the fridge. He pulled out eggs, milk, ham, and a few other things before getting the flour canister and placed them all on the counter next to Sakura.

"How about we make them pancakes."

"YEA! Can I pour everything into the bowl?"

"If you want."

"She hugged him as best she could from where she was sitting then kissed his cheek. He measured out the flour he would need for the recipe and handed it to Sakura to put in the bowl. He poured in the eggs but when he turned around to get something he forgot Sakura turned the mixer on high sending flour everywhere and successfully covering them both.

Kagome had been snapping shots of them the whole time and when this happened both she and Sango had to fight not to laugh but in the end they failed. Sakura and sesshomaru looked to the door.

"Oh so you two think this is funny do you."

He picked up the flour container and walked toward them. Sesshomaru reached his hand into the container. Both girls looked at him, their eyes got big with the realization of what was about to happen. They ran.

Sesshomaru gave them a few seconds head start before running after them. When he caught up with them he still had Sakura but she was on his back and they both were trying to throw flour on them. Sakura was giggling like crazy. They ran down a hall that the girls didn't realize had only one exit and that was into another room. Sesshomaru had the advantage. He smirked and continued after them.

They ran right into the dojo. The girls realized they had been trapped. He cornered them. Sesshomaru lifted the flour and dumped what was rest of it on the girls covering them (yes I know occ). All that could be heard from the shock was Sakura giggling.

Both girls got up and looked at each other nodded and moved toward them. He realized a moment to late that they were going to attack him. They pounced knocking them all to the ground.

They were all laughing. One of the maids followed them into the dojo and had been taking pictures with kagome's camera. She left to go get the others so that they could begin to clean up the mess.

"That was great," kagome stated.

"if we didn't have the pictures," Sango said," no one would believe the almighty sesshomaru attacked two helpless girls with flour."

"You will not repeat this to anyone. "

"Mommy, daddy, aunt Sango lets do that again. It was so much fun."

"Not this morning sweetie maybe another time."

"Ok."

"Well I think we all need a bath now." Kagome said. "So how about we all go up and get clean and we will come back down later to help with breakfast. Come on Sakura. See you in a little while."

They all went to get clean before coming back down. When the girls got back down and had gone into the kitchen they found sesshomaru already there and he was almost finished cooking.

"Go ahead and sit down at the table I'm almost finished."

He finished the last few things and brought them to the table.

"Kagome when you finish I would like you to call your mother to see about having her come here next weekend. You don't have to say my name just tell her that Inuyasha wanted you to invite your family here so that he could get to know them. You won't be lying to her because Inuyasha will be here and meeting them."

"Alright but your digging your own grave."

"Yep her mom was pissed when you left and was even more pissed when she found out kagome was working for you."

"I am going to call Inuyasha to make him be here. I'll be right back."

He left the room.

"He's go know idea what he is getting himself into does he kagome?"

"Nope no idea at all."

"At least he is willing to face her head on no looking back. Most men wouldn't do that. They'd be too afraid."

"I'm glad he's not. Maybe mother won't hate him so much anymore if she sees he never wanted to leave me to begin with."

He caught the very last of the conversation just as he was walking back into the room. He handed kagome the phone and told her to go call.

She walked into the next room.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom."

"Oh hello kagome how are you. Is everything alright."

"Everything is fine. I just wanted to see if you Souta and grampa wanted to come out to the country next weekend and relax. Inuyasha wants to meet you and thought the best way would be for you to come here for the weekend."

"We would love to sweetheart. It sounds like fun."

"Alright a car will come get you after work on Friday and it will bring you here."

"Ok love you and we will see you then."

"Love you to mom. Bye."

"Bye"

Kagome walked back into the room.

"Alright it's done. They are coming and I told them to expect a car to come get them after my mother gets home from work. I hope your ready because if your not you have one week to prepare."

No one is ever truly ready they just think they are. I can handle anything she can throw at me unless it means taking you away. I will let her yell all she wants because I deserve it all and it may make her feel better."

"Ok your funeral. Well I better tell you now before she sends you to your grave...I love you. Wouldn't want you to die without knowing that."

He pulled her into his lap and began to trail kisses down her neck before capturing her lips in passionate kiss. When they pulled apart he closed his eyes and breathed in her calming sent. She felt a light purr from him and laughed lightly. "I didn't know dogs purred. Are you sure you're a dog demon and not a cat demon or are you having an identity crisis."

"I assure you I am no cat." And after having said that he nipped at her neck to prove his point sending shivers down her spine.

"Alright you two enough of that there is a child present"

"I'm not a kid. I'm a grownup."

"You will be soon enough but how about for now you be my little girl."

"Ok I'll be your little girl a little longer."

"I'm glad."

The next week flew by fast with many changes being made in the company and sesshomaru moving all the heads of the company to the top floor and some of the smaller executives to their old offices. With this change it put Inuyasha and kagome along Sango and Miroku on the top floor along with Koga and his secretary Ayamye.

Friday came and they prepared for when kagome's mother and family arrived
