Ours
Kagome stayed awake all night waiting for them to return. It had not been long after the sun had risen, that Sesshoumaru stepped through the line of trees and into the campsite. Katsurou was cradled in Sesshoumaru's arms. His small hand was curled into Sesshoumaru's fur. The small boy had reverted back to his usual appearance, no longer fully demon.
"Katsurou!" Kagome jumped up.
"Miko, he is just asleep."
Kagome met Sesshoumaru halfway, and took Katsurou from his arms. She laid him down on her pallet, and brushed his shaggy black hair away from his face.
Something caught her eye. A blue crescent moon sat between his eyebrows, matching Sesshoumaru's own markings.
"A...moon?"
"He is now an official heir to the western throne. Everyone who sees him, will know he is mine."
"Ours." Kagome added.
Sesshoumaru felt strangely prideful of that statement. He looked into her tired eyes. Three long claw marks ran across her cheek, marring the softness of her face. He reached out to her and softly pulled her to him.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?"
He placed a hand on her injured cheek. A blush covered her cheeks, most appealingly. He leaned down close to her face. He could hear her heartbeat race.
She closed her eyes, unsure of what else to do.
He gently ran his tongue across her clawed cheek.
Her eyes flew open. "ACK! What are you doing?!" Kagome hissed at him as she backed out of his grasp.
She put a hand to her cheek. It tingled warmly. She couldn't feel the burn of the claw marks anymore. Did he just...heal her?
"Hn. Sleep, miko. We will travel later."
She was completely confused. Her heart was pounding, and she was trying to figure out why.
What did she think he was gonna do? Kiss her? Was she...disappointed?
Kagome laid down on her pallet, and pulled her son close. Her mind raced for a good while, before she finally succumbed to sleep.
