"Kagome, we have a visitor." The woman in question groaned as Sesshomaru's voice roused her from whatever dream she'd been having. Rolling over and lifting her head, sleep filled blue eyes turned on the demon lord only to have her gaze redirected to the darkened doorway of their bedroom where a sobbing little girl stood, hugging an overstuffed cat pillow that she'd had for years.
"Kasumi?" Instantly Kagome was up and pushing the covers back as her daughter raced to her as fast as her little feet could carry her. It didn't take long for the mother to find out what had happened, Kasumi was more than forthcoming with the horrendous details of the dream she'd had.
Neither parent interrupted the little girl as she sobbed about the great monster that had eaten the entire family and left Kasumi all alone. They listened quietly, each casting an occasional glance to the other as she went, and once she'd finished Kagome gathered her up into her arms and held her, one hand stroking the soft tufts of her puppy ears gently.
"It's okay…" She soothed tenderly, pulling back to give her baby girl a gentle smile, "You don't think Daddy's going to let anything happen to you, do you?" When Kasumi shook her head, the dark haired woman turned with her in her lap, settling her between she and Sesshomaru comfortably.
"Of course he isn't, because as much as it pains him to admit it, he loves us." Sesshomaru shot his wife a sideways glance that she only smirked at before pressing a gentle kiss to their daughter's forehead. "Now you just go to sleep and I promise I will be right here when you wake up." Kasumi nodded and nothing more was said before Kagome tucked the overstuffed cat in with it's owner and the three of them settled back down to sleep.
