On the seventh day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
7 Swans a Swimming.

Sesshomaru found her outside, in the cold, with snow falling.

"Miko"

He could have sworn he heard a sniffle "I was under the impressions that humans get sick in this weather."

"Yeah, that's a human for you."

He immediately took note of her sad tone and walked closer to her and looked down at her "Miko."

Kagome smiled "Sango and Miroku are having a baby."

"Hn"

She looked a him "Inuyasha and Kikyo to."

He knew that.

"You knew didn't you."

"Yes"

Kagome looks away, and Sesshomaru was about to say something when he felt something and turned around. Kagome must have felt it too for she turned also. Sesshomaru took a protect stands putting himself more in front of her, and she noticed.

"My Lord" A man bowed. He wore layers of heavy furs "May I present my daughter."

Sesshomaru clance at the demoness in front of him. Kagome also stole a peek at the beautiful woman.

"We were quite pleased to hear from you."

"Thank you for choosing our house."

"I merely needed swans, nothing more nothing less."

Kagome gasped "You wanted swans?"

"Seven Swans" The man interrupted but before he or his daughter could say more Kagome question Sesshomaru again "Why do you need seven swans?"

"For a wedding as you, humans so call it."

"Who's getting married?" She asked,

"My Lord is silly girl, did you not know?" The woman spoke causing Sesshomaru to glare at her. Kagome stepped back "You're, your getting married?"

Kagome didn't know why, but her heat jumped out of her chest and hurt coursed through her body.

Sesshomaru smirked, "Are you ill Miko; your heart rate has just taken a plummet."

"No, I'm, I'm fine. just shocked"

"Perhaps the cold is getting to you, Miko."

She did feel cold "Maybe." The cold must be stealing her breath as well.

"My Lord" The woman interrupted "If It pleases you-

Sesshomaru didn't even look at her "Be silent, I only asked for your swans not your hand."

"My Lord I just assumed-" Her father started to say,

"Then who are you going to marry!" The woman asked feeling rejected.

Kagome tried to sneak off, but Sesshomaru caught her right hand to stop her and pulled her close "Sesshomaru?"

"Your hands are frozen, Miko."

"I'll go inside."

Sesshomaru played with the gold band on her hand, turning it and then he slipped it off. "Sesshomaru?" She asks again, and their eyes met.

"Her," He said which made Kagome look at him with confusion.

"Her?" She repeated,

"Her!?" The woman gasped.

Sesshomaru took the ring and slipped it on her left hand "You" He said,

"The ring is for you, the swans are for you, and you should say yes."

"To what?"

"Me"

Kagome shakes her head "Wait, whats the questions" Her head was spinning. Sesshomaru leaned down putting his lips to her ears "Marry me, be my mate, bear my sons."

Kagome blushed hard, and her brain froze "You had swans brought here for me?"

"Seven" He reminded her amused my her rambling.

"Kagome"

"Yes?"

He took that as his answer and sealed her cold lips with his own.

Kagome wasn't cold anymore, or lonely.
