1We walked around and talked a little bit. I was surprised to say that he actually had genuine interest in me, which I was grateful for. I liked the attention, I really did. I hoped to find out what it was that made Sesshomaru so cold, but I guess I wasn't at that point yet because when I asked about his past, he seemed hesitant, only talking about his duties when he was little and his father. He didn't really talk about his mother.

I guess in a sense I can understand him. We turned to walk back to the village when we heard screams from a girl. We rushed to where the screams were coming from to find a little girl, no bigger then the age of 3. She was being attacked by a bird demon. I hit it with some new powers she didn't even know she had. I summoned my bow and arrow and hit the demon head on. It disappeared. I smiled at Sesshomaru who didn't even need to do anything.

I walked over to the little frightened girl and asked her for her name. "My name is Kitsumi.." the little girl said, hesitantly. "Well, my name is Kagome, and that over there is Sesshomaru." I pointed. Her eyes got wide "The Lord and Lady?" I smiled and walked closer to her. I slowly picked her up and told her it would be fine.

"You're a demon aren't you?" she said slowly. She must have just learned to speak in complete sentences. SOOOOOO KAWII!!! "Yes I am." I say, smiling down at her. She radiates fear before settling back down to a calming aura when I started humming to her. She was a very cute girl. She had blond hair and green eyes.

It was pulled up in all sorts of piggy tails. It looked like she did it herself. "Where's your parents Kitsumi?" I asked her. Her aura saddened and I immediately knew what happened to them. "Oh, you poor child." I said hugging her close to me. I looked at Sesshomaru with pleading eyes. Hopefully he got the message. He did, he nodded his head and smiled at me.

He knew my liking to kids and the more the merrier for me. "How would you like to live with us Kitsumi? The Lord and Lady of these lands?" Kitsumi shook her head vigorously, letting a perfect smile play out on her face. "Good then." I said to her. "Do you have any siblings?" "No, mommy and daddy couldn't have any more kids. I happened by luck." she said smiling triumphantly. "Well then, I guess then you'll just have to get used to having 2 other siblings." I said, whistling after. I was waiting for her to cheer.

"YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!" she said. I winced a little. My ears are sensitive you know!?! We got back to the village and showed the group the little girl that was nearly killed. All of them loved her. She seemed to fit right in with Shippou. "Hey Shippou." I called to him. "Yes Okaa-San?" he said, hoping over to me. "Well, do you want to come live with me in the castle?" I said.

His eyes got bright and he smiled. "I'd love to Kagome!" He said. He latched himself onto my shoulder and we all waved goodbye before heading back to the camp. Sesshomaru held me close and hugged me.

We arrived at the castle and I showed Kitsumi to her room along with Shippou and I introduced Rin to the two. Luckily Rin remembered Shippou and he did the same. It was nice to see them all playing together. Sesshomaru walked up in the gardens with us and hugged me from behind.

Sesshomaru 's P.O.V.

I watched her as she watched the children play. She really does like children. Which is of course a very good thing for me. I smiled in my head a toothy grin. I walked up behind her and gave her a hug. She seemed surprised at first but then leaned into my chest. "Koi," I said. "Did you like today?" I said, wanting to know her answer.

"I loved it!" she said "Thank you for taking me to my friends, I missed them so much. They agreed to come to the ball and I gave Sango some money for a good Kimono, I hope that was alright." she said. I gruffly said yes and watched the children play like she was. It was calming and cute to watch them play at the same time.. Wait.. Did this Sesshomaru just say the word Cute? Grr..

I told them it was almost time for dinner and they all rushed into the house. Kagome and I walked back holding hands. It was nice. We arrived at the dining table and I showed the children where to sit. I pulled out the chair for my Koi and then I sat in my own seat.

The food came shortly after. I ate while listening to Rin get acquainted with Kitsumi and Shippou pout about being ignored. Kagome told him he could move his plate and sit by her so she could talk to him.

He happily complied and jumped under the table after getting his food near her. The girls laughed at his silliness, along with Kagome. She talked to him about what she had done while she was away and he did the same. He told an interesting story about how he killed a demon 2 times bigger than he is. That made me chuckle.

We all retired for the night and I escorted Kagome to her room. She smiled before saying thank you and goodnight. I said the same and left after she shut the door. I opened my bedroom doors to the end of the hall. My bed isn't all that great... Okay, so I could fit my Dog form in here.. Is that so bad? It is..? Hmpf. Well whatever then. The sheets were red satin and gold trim. The pillows were white.

I took off my top and proceeded to sleep. Today was a long and eventful day. After all, I just got a new Child. I snuggled up to Kagome...Wait.. Kagome? She was supposed to be in her bed. "Uh.. Hi." she said hesitantly. I smiled. "What would you be doing by gracing this Sesshomaru 's bed?" I said smirking.

"I thought I heard something move in my room." she said quietly. I shrugged it off and cuddled next to her. I wrapped my arms around her waist. I waited until she fell asleep before I let sleep consume myself.

With Kagura

"So, Do we have it all planned then?" Kagura said, walking up to the Northern Lord. "Yes, everything will be in order." He said arrogantly. "Good." she said. "I want her dead. I want what was mine back." she said before turning and walking out the door.

The Northern Lord smirked. If only she knew he planned to kill the Western Lord. He wanted those lands for himself. Kagura would just do the honor of getting rid of his soon to be mate. "Lord." someone called. He turned to see a pink toad before him. God, Sesshomaru 's toad was bad, but this is just fugly. "What." he said. "I have news, you are requested at the Youkai ball."

He smirked. "Good Jackie." he took the papers from her hand before she bowed and rushed off.
