{I love you too much}

{To leave without you loving me back}

{Heaven's my witness and this is a fact}

Kagome hummed to the song as it played on her radio, swaying about the kitchen to the gentle tone as she worked on making lunches for her children. It was their first day back to school after the vacation, so she was making something special for them. And that was how Sesshomaru found her; hair touseled from sleep, the dress-like robe she'd wrapped around herself swaying with her movements.

He watched her for a long moment, only stepping into the room as the instrumentals thickened and the tempo raised. Three paces and his hand gently clasped on hers, stopping her in her task before pulling her into a slow waltz.

{Heaven knows your name I've been praying}

{To have you come here by my side}

{Without you a part of me's missing}

{Just to make you my own I will fight}

Kagome giggled as he swept her around the room, one arm wrapped firmly around her waist as the other held her hand, his significant stature making leading all too easy a task. And for a few short moments they were the only ones in the world.

"Um…Mom? Dad?" Jumping at the sudden interruption, the two adults turned to find Kei giving them a confused look to which Kagome merely giggled and Sesshomaru stepped back.

"Me too! Me too!" Seishiro raced to his mother as fast as his five year old legs could carry him. Kagome obliged, scooping him up and twirling around the room with him as Sesshomaru offered his hand to Kasumi, who—so like her mother—giggled and took it, leaving Kei standing there staring at them.

He wasn't left out for long though—perhaps a little to his pride's dismay—Kagome took his hand and pulled him in to dance with she and Seishiro until the song ended.
