A little note: As seen on Dokuga. So I finally decided to take up the challenge of making a interconnected drabble collection using the prompts from Weekly Perfection. This collection of drabbles is set in the canon universe, but will have some elements of an alternative universe I supposed you could say.

The Promise
Mamoru and his sister, still in youkai form seemed to be fond of the nuts Kagome gave them for a snack. They was silently munching on them as the group traveled through the dark trees, allowing Kagome some time to walk next to Sesshomaru. She needed to ask him some questions. Nuts were the perfect distraction.
"Why haven't Inuyasha charged you and accused you of kidnapping me yet?" Kagome asked, "Did you kill him behind my back?"
Sesshomaru glanced at her with an eyebrow raised.
Kagome laughed. "I'm just asking...since I've been traveling with you so much lately."
"Hn," was the only response. Kagome noticed Sesshomaru glancing at the pups. He carried a surprising emotion on his face. Kagome smiled warmly. Although he didn't make it obvious, Sesshomaru cared for his pups. And she wanted to protect that. Over the past few weeks she spent with him, Kagome felt something new grow within her. She felt complete with him and his small pack. She wanted to be a part of it forever. She couldn't bear the thought of separating from them.
"Let's make a promise, Sesshomaru," Kagome suggested with a warm smile, "I'll protect them, in return for your company."
Prompt: Nut (200 words)
