Bet you guys thought I was never coming back. Sorry, it's been so long. Anyway home you enjoy.
"Good morning, dearest," Sesshoumaru said gently kissing Kagome's forehead as he sat down gracefully besides her. Kagome rubbed the sleep from her eyes in a daze, then had a wonderful remembrance: Sesshomaru was there in her home and she was going to marry him. Before she could say anything, though, he dropped a red rose in her lap and said with a light-hearted laugh that seemed so uncharacteristic, "Now, I've drawn you a bath, and I know how you get when bathing so I'll be downstairs. Don't take too long though, we have breakfast reservations." Kagome raised an eyebrow, but he didn't see it because he was already out of the room.
On the hook of her bedroom door where she usually kept her terry cloth robe, there hung instead a robe of the finest Egyptian cotton, embroidered with red, silken roses. Kagome almost squealed with delight as she slipped on the soft robe.
In the bathroom, too, there were surprises. Chai tea made just the way Kagome liked it, and served in a gold-filigreed teacup, sat on the edge of a bathtub filled with hot water and rose petals. "Good morning, me!" Kagome said with a smile as she slipped into the water.
A hour later, Kagome and Sesshoumaru were zipping through downtown Tokyo in his silver Porsche convertible. Kagome looked over at Sesshoumaru and he smiled back at her, his golden eyes glimmering in the sunlight. "So, you've been here all along?" Kagome finally asked, breaking the silence.
"Of course," he replied, "You didn't think I'd leave did you?"
"Well, no, but why didn't you come to me sooner?"
"I, Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands," he said with a sly grin. "Please, I was afraid you'd pin me to some blasted tree with one of your arrows. I was after all the evil, big brother of the guy you were in love with."
"Did Inu-Yasha…" Kagome asked with her eyes downcast.
"Yeah, I'm afraid so," he said running his fingers through Kagome's hair. Then he chuckled a little. "Died at a ripe old age though, left behind more grandkids than I have the heart to count. It's been insanely difficult making sure they don't marry into your family."
"What about Sango, Miroku, Shippo? What about Rin?" She asked, the words almost running into each other.
"Whoa, slow-down, let's see," he said still smiling. "Sango and Miroku married of course. They hard four boy, each just as lecherous as their father. They lived at my castle for years, and then went to China as merchants. Got very wealthy, and they lived well into their nineties."
"And Shippo?" Kagome asked as they came to a stop in front of a huge mansion.
"What about me?" A voice came from the other side of her. She turned to see the young fox demon, who now looked about 25, with long, red hair and a black leather jacket.
"Shippo!" Kagome exclaimed running into his arms.
"Kagome," he said giving her a peck on the cheek. "We have a lot to catch up on."
