"Kids, Bedtime!" Sango yelled at the two yawning children.

"I'm going to wash up; you coming Rin?" the kit responded, before taking her by the hand and heading in the direction of the spring.

Kagome had taught them to brush their teeth before bed, and even though she wasn't currently around to check up on them this night, it didn't mean that they were going to slack off.

By the time they returned to camp, Kagome's sorairo sleeping bag had already been laid out, near the blazing fire. It was odd to be settling down without the miko; something on the forefront of both children's minds.

"Shippou, what do you think Kagome and Lord Sesshoumaru are doing?" Rin asked.

"I'll tell you a secret, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else" he replied in earnest, his green eyes shimmering.

Rin nodded her head – she loved secrets.

"Lord Sesshoumaru told me this morning that he was going to ask Kagome to be his mate." he confided to her.

In all her glee, Rin wrapped her arms around Shippou's neck almost choking him.

"If she says yes, we're going to be a family. I'm going to have a mother and a brother."

"And I'm going to have a new father and a sister. I never had any siblings before, but I'm sure glad it's you though and not some little brat." the kit smirked.

"Oh Shippou, you sound like InuYasha when you said that" she giggled.

"Oh crap, wait until InuYasha finds out though; he's going to scream until he turns blue" Shippou exclaimed.

On the other side of the fire, the not-quite-asleep monk had been eavesdropping on the two exuberant kids.

'So the great lord is finally making his move. This is going to get very interesting indeed.'
