Kagome woke with a start. She was cold and couldn't find a blanket, so she snuggled closer to the warm, solid object next to her. She felt warm skin across her fingers. She knew who it was that she was laying next to, but would her happiness last long. Last night Kagome had found her self falling for a demon that she herself didn't know all to much about. She also found that the Lord had been thinking about her the way she thought of him last night. They had found love together.

Kagome got up to clean her self, when she heard a voice that she would have the pleasure of listening to for the rest of her life. "Where are you off too?" "To bathe, would you like to come along?" Sesshomaru fallowed and together they bathed.

Rin had not seen her lord in a long while. Since he had been with Kagome for so long. She had gone to the room, to find no one there. "Lord Sesshomaru is not here. Where could he have gone too? Kagome is gone as well." Rin wonder all over the castle trying to either find Kagome or Sesshomaru. It took her all till supper and she still had not found nothing.

"Rin," called Jaken. "It is supper time. Sesshomaru is waiting for you in the dinning hall. Get cleaned up and ready to eat." Rin did as she was told. Soon she found herself in the dinning hall seated next to Sesshomaru. Kagome, who was usually on her other side, was seated on Sesshomaru's right. 'What is going on here?' Rin thought as she eyed the two. "Lord Sesshomaru, why is Kagome at your side. The only reason for her to do that is if she where your ma… oh is Kagome?"

Kagome said nothing, Sesshomaru shook his head in agreement to the child's question. "Rin is so happy for you both! Dose this mean Rin has a mother figure?" Sesshomaru looked as Kagome with a look that made her want to giggle. "Yes Rin. If that is what you would like me to be then ill do it." Kagome's heart swelled with joy. She could care for a youth again, like she once had done for Shippo. "Yes that is what Rin wants. Rin already has a father figure and now she has a mother figure too!" The rest of dinner went over well and Rin couldn't wait to tell everyone in the house about there lord and new lady.

Kagome still had things that needed to be done. She didn't know how a mate would tie into everything that would come to pass in her new life. Kagome did know that she had to go home now and tell her mother of what had transpired between the two. Also that everything would be fine for her in the past and that she would visit on a regular bases.

"Sesshomaru I need to go home. I have to speak with my mother." He looked at her with his golden eyes that showed so much love for her and her alone. "If you must, then take a horse that is in my stable. I don't need you walking there."

Sesshomaru had stables for many on the demons that worked at his estate. The animals could be used in many different ways. From travel to farm work.

Kagome did take a horse that would end up being left behind at the village. It was about a two days journey to get there. When she had the old presets welcomed her back and made her tell her of everything that had happened.

"Dear child that is awful. How are you still among us then?" 'She makes it sound as though I would have never been able to make it.' "I was saved by Inuyasha's brother. That is where I have been for so long." After their little talk they ate. Kagome then left to see her family.

Kagome made it to the well. She hoped that her mother had not worried to much about her over the time that she had come back. Jumping into the well a color that she had grown to love, spread all around her. The lovely violet reminded her of everything that she had been though and her journeys in the feudal era. When she came to the other side, the one she had know of when she was just a small child, she came face to face with a familiar face. "SHIPPO!" The kid was at the top of the well looking down. "Hello Kagome what took you so long. We have all been waiting here for you!"

'We? We who? What is going on here? Shippo can't be here. He was taken away from me by Naraku.' "Your not Shippo! Who the hell are you! Who the hell is WE!" Kagome could take all the confusion that was cramped up with in her mind. Falling to her knees and holding her head she cried out. "WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME!"

I know I said I would make a long chapter, but I found time to write and this is all the farther I have gotten so I thought I would post it. I will make sure that the last chapter is a really long one. Shippo is back. People are back with him.. Could this mean… Well you find out all about it in the next chapter. LOVE YA!
