Rayne and Sean left the throne room. Inutaisho said, "That was a good choice, Kagome. He will protect her with his life."

Kagome smiled and said, "Good. She deserves some happiness in her life."

Inutaisho said, "We have a long day ahead of us. It is time for lunch."

They went to the dinning room. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Rin and Izayoui were already there. Inutaisho and Kagome sat down. Inutaisho said, "Kagome, I have some wonderful news."

Kagome sighed and asked, "What is this wonderful news, my old friend?"

Inutaisho smiled and said, "Many men have come to me for your hand in mating."

Kagome thought about this. She took a peak at Sesshomaru. "I shall give you my answer in three days," Kagome left as she started to put food on her plate.

Inutaisho said, "As you wish."

Everyone ate in silence. After lunch was done Kagome went to the training ground and started to practice. Many of her pups came to see her train. Rayne and Melissa were there to talk to their mother. Kagome stopped practicing and asked, "What is it that you need, Rayne and Melissa?"

Rayne said, "Melissa and I were talking, mother. We want to be mated as soon as possible."

Melissa nodded to agree with her sister. Kagome smiled happily at both of them. She said, "I shall talk to Inutaisho about it."

Melissa and Rayne smiled happily. Sesshomaru stood in the shadows watching Kagome. She will be a good mate. She will give us strong pups. I agree.

Sesshomaru went to talk to his father. Kagome continued to train not knowing what was about to happen. The guards that were off duty came for their training. The tiger and dragon youkai helped Kagome and her pups to train the other guards. Kagome noticed that there was a kitsune demon that was able to pick up on everything after being shown once.

Kagome was very impressed. He seems to be the only one taking this seriously besides the dragon and tiger youkai. Kagome pointed at him and said, "Kitsune, come here."

The kitsune youkai went over to Kagome and bowed. He asked, "What can I do for you, milady?"

Kagome smiled and said, "I want you to protect princess Rin."

The kitsune gasped in surprise. He said, "Milord has already assigned her guard."

Inutaisho came out from the shadows from where he was watching and listening. He said, "Lady Kagome has the right to change my decisions. If she thinks you are better suited to guard my daughter then you will be her guard."

The kitsune looked at Kagome and asked, "Are you sure, milady?"

Kagome smiled happily and said, "You seem to be the only one to take this seriously besides the tiger and dragon youkai."

The kitsune said, "I will do as you have commanded, milady."

Kagome said, "You will still train. My son Shippo shall be the other guard for princess Rin."

The kitsune bowed and started to leave. Kagome said, "Wait! I wish to know your name."

The kitsune said, "My name is Nick, milady."

The kitsune resumed training. Inuyasha came out with a frown on his face. Kagome walked over to him and asked, "What is wrong, young one?"

Inuyasha said, "I'm worried about Kouga. He still hasn't woken up yet."

Kagome sighed. She knew that Inuyasha and Kouga both loved each other. They were just afraid to tell each other. Kagome said, "He just needs time to heal. You will not lose him."

Inuyasha sighed and said, "I know. I just hate that he could've died, and he never would've known about my feelings for him."

Kagome said, "You must tell him when he wakes up then."

Inuyasha nodded and went back into the castle. Kagome sighed. Suddenly she heard a commotion behind her. She turned around and saw one of her pups holding one of the guards by his throat.
