Custody
Kagome sat on her bedroll, staring into the camp fire. Things were spiraling out of control quickly. Had Rin been right? Did she truly know what she was getting herself and Katsurou into? Her chest tightened with anxiety. Could she trust him?
"Kagome-sama, do you realize what Sesshoumaru-sama has done tonight?"
Kagome focused her eyes on Rin, sitting across from her. She shook her head 'no'.
Rin got up and walked around the fire to sit next to Kagome.
"Look at me!" Rin shook her lightly. "What Sesshoumaru-sama did tonight was very serious."
"I know. He took partial custody of my child." Kagome said dully.
"No! I mean yes, he did do that. But that's not all! Kagome, the vow he made to you was very sacred. I know you had to have felt the finality of that vow, if even I could feel it."
Kagome looked completely unconvinced.
Rin continued on. "The vow he took was very similar to a samurai swearing fealty to his lord. Kagome, he basically vowed to serve you and your son. It is not a vow many make, particularly those of his rank and power."
Kagome looked doubtful.
"Kagome-sama, at the very least, your son now has a place in youkai society, where he did not previously belong."
