So, do you like? I am sorry it took so long, I was waiting for people to review on who they think should get 'er. Well, I gave up when Sesshoumaru had 6 and Inuyasha had 2...

Chapter 8: Happily Ever After?

"I couldn't hold her back..." Sesshoumaru says, a smile crossing his lips. Kagome smiles then sits down with Rin and hands her some crayons.

"That's okay..." Kagome says. Sesshoumaru walks up and kisses Kagome's lips gently. Rin giggles as she draws, not noticing what's going on between the two.

"We shouldn't..." Kagome says. Sesshoumaru didn't understand what she meant, but he knew that the kiss wasn't meant to be as long as it came out. Sesshoumaru pulls himself away then smiles at Rin.

"I will see you two at dinner time..." Sesshoumaru says then turns around and leaves. Kagome watches Rin color, smiling like a mother smiles at her daughter. Over the time she had to take care of Rin, she started thinking of Rin more as her own kid. Just like she did with Shippo.

Dinner time rolled around and Jaken came to tell the two to dress formally for dinner. Kagome helped Rin dress since Rin was too "giggly." Kagome led Rin out to the dinner table. She seated Rin then sat down, Sesshoumaru no where in sight.

"Kagome! Where's Lord Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked. Kagome thought a bit.

"I don't know... He's usually here...." Kagome says then Rin sighs. She poked the table pointlessly. Food never came unless Sesshoumaru was there. Rin's stomach gurgled then Sesshoumaru came in the room and dinner was served. They ate in silence, since Sesshoumaru considered talking at the dinner table pointless. He thought that whatever could be said there could wait until later. After dinner, Kagome escorted Rin to her room and the two fell asleep.

Time passed and Kagome found that Sesshoumaru considered Rin as a daughter. Kagome became less 'bubbly' over the three years that passed, leaving Kagome to be 18. Sesshoumaru had also started being the big romantic that every girl fantasies about...

"Kagome, where's Sesshoumaru?" Rin asks, holding a crayon up to her face. Rin was a little more mature, but still loved to play games like she used to. Kagome answered with a sigh.

"I believe he's in his office, doing more paperwork..." Kagome said. She got up then started leaving.

"Kagome! Where are you going?" Rin asked. Kagome looked back.

"I'm just going out for a walk..." Kagome says. She looked at the necklace around her neck. The Shikon No Tama had been completed for a while, leaving Naraku less powerful. Of course, they hadn't killed him yet, but they planned to. Kagome went outside with a bow and arrow. She sighed and thought. 'I miss having Shippo and my other friends around.... I haven't been home in ages too.... I wonder how everyone is doing.....' Kagome thought. She yawned then got back up and started walking into Inuyasha Forest. She saw a whirlwind coming toward her. Even though Kouga had given her the shards, he didn't lose his speed. Kouga stopped after seeing Kagome just standing there.

"Hey Kagome, what are you doing outside of Sesshoumaru's castle?" Kouga asked. Kagome gave a slight growl.

"I don't always have to be in his castle just because we're... 'mates!'... Sorry Kouga..." Kagome said. She was still not used to being a mate rather than a wife, but she tried to adjust. Kouga held his hands up, as if in defeat.

"Sorry! Hey, what room is Sesshoumaru in? I have some stuff to tell him..." Kouga said. Kagome blinked. She had kept in contact with Kouga, being that he always delivered news to Sesshoumaru.

"What is it?" Kagame asks, tilting her head and blinking again. Her chocolate brown eyes looked into Kouga's blue ones.

"Well, Naraku obviously ain't happy over you having the jewel. He knows that you and Sesshoumaru are mates, so he plans on having an army of demons attack Sesshoumaru and you... I heard that there were about 600 last time I checked...." Kouga told Kagome.

"He's in the library. Just make sure Rin doesn't hear or she'll cry." Kagome said. Kouga nodded then sped off into the castle.
