Kagome woke up on a bed with silky red satin sheets. On the headboard was a symbol carved into it. She surveyed the rest of the room. Near the door was a dresser made with hard wood that had an elegant look to it. There was a door leading to a balcony made of white wash marble. It was beautiful with a never-ending view of the Western Lands.

There was a knock at the door. The guard Ikaturo came in cautiously. "My lady," he bowed, "Lord Sesshomaru has requested your presence in his chamber."

"If he wants me he should come HIMSELF and you can tell him that. I won't have anyone just come and get me and besides he owes me an explanation." Kagome crossed her arms across her chest and stared the guard down before Ikaturo said, "Fine" and left. Moments later the taiyoukai himself came into the room.

"Ikaturo says that you request me to come myself" His face was plain but his voice had an edge of annoyance to it. "This impudence is not allowed in this Sesshomaru's land. You shall obey my rules and come when called is that understood?"

Kagome gave him a long hard look and said, "I'm not some servant that you can push around. I'm my own person and can do whatever I want. I have my rights." They had a stare down before Kagome finally averted her eyes away from the taiyoukai's steely glare.

Sesshomaru gave a satisfied smirk. "Why am I here then?" Kagome asked quietly.

"You are here to be Rin's care provider. If you helped heal her I'm sure you can keep her out of danger. I want you to teach her all you know and keep her safe is that clear wench?"

Kagome's face now turned to stare him in the eye. Her hazel eyes showed a small spark of red fire as she in turn gave him a steely glare but hers promised death.

"Look if I am to stay here YOU are to call me by my real name. It's not wench, baka, baby, or anything else you can come up with. It's Kagome say it with me KA-GO-ME!" When she was done her face was flushed and she was breathing hard. Sesshomaru's face showed annoyance but he thought 'She is very strong minded, this shall be interesting.'


Inuyasha's ears twitched. Kikyo, who was sitting beside him, noticed. "What is it my love?"

"I don't know. I thought someone called my name."

"I didn't hear anything. You must be dreaming"

"Yeah maybe you're right." Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kikyo and settled his back onto the tree behind them. "We'll have lots ofpups Kikyo. A family I never had and a chance to be a normal woman…for you of course." Kikyo giggled at that comment and sighed against him.

"If I am to be a normal woman Inuyashapups just can't appear out of nowhere. They have to be made." Inuyasha held a glint in his eye.

"We'll lets go home and make some." Inuyasha gently lifted Kikyo up and led them to their hut besides Kaede's.


Miroku held his hands over his ears. "Miroku that's not helping" yelled an angry Sango. "Go get one of those pa-ci-fiers that Kagome brought from her time! Make sure it's washed off in hot water!"

Miroku sighed and grabbed one of the blue 'pacifiers' and went to the heated water bucket outside. He dipped it in for a while and then came back in and was about to stick it in Ramichi's mouth when Sango slapped his hand.

"Make sure it's not too hot. You don't want to burn the baby's mouth do you?" Miroku sighed again and blew the 'pacifier' and then stuck it into Ramichi's mouth. Ramichi sucked it and soon grew content. Sango smiled at him and then handed him to Miroku.

"Here dear you hold Ramichi. He's calm now." Miroku held Ramichi in his arms and smiled down at his first-born son. Sango stood up stretched. "I'll be back Miroku. I have to finish the wash and get the vegetables from the garden."

Sango walked towards the door and turned around 'he was born to be a father' she smiled again and then left to do her chores leaving Miroku rocking Ramichi to sleep.
