Mizuki turned to Mika saying, "Come with me I will take you to the authorities, and they will find you a proper home." She felt bad for the child she was obviously abused and malnourished.

Mika looked at her asking, "But can't Lady Naomi be my Mommy?" She tried to look as cute as possible she didn't want to be taken from the first woman who had been kind to her in her young life.

It was then a male voice came from behind her saying, "If you wish to be her daughter you will have to accept me as your sire. Do you think you can live with that?"

Mika turned to look at the male Inu his demonic aura was very strong she felt Naomi shift slightly shielding her from him a little. Naomi looked at him saying, "Was seven layers necessary and seriously Sesshomaru scaring this poor pup like you are."

He growled lightly at her saying, "If she is to be our pup she must not fear this Sesshomaru. As for the formal Kimono, that is for the ceremony I have planned for you. I wish to bind our souls together for all eternity."

Naomi was in tears she was so touched by her mate's gesture. Mika stepped forward saying, "I wish to be your daughter can you make it so?"

Sesshomaru grinned he liked the determination of this pup even though she was Hanyu she was willing to face him and ask for what she wanted. In his eyes, this made her worthy of being their pup. He nodded and led Naomi to where an old woman was standing at an altar. For the soul binding ceremony that was about to take place. The old lady took a glass and put it in front of them saying, "We are here to witness a very rarely done soul binding ceremony. These two will bind their souls together for all time no matter what happens they will always find and love each other not even in death will they part."

She gave the glass to Sesshomaru saying, "My lord do you agree to bind your soul to this woman knowing that once done it can never be undone."

Sesshomaru looked at his lovely mate saying, "This Sesshomaru and his beast wish to be bound to this woman." He couldn't image life without her and no matter what he always wanted to be with her if she died he wanted to go with her into the afterlife. He took a drink from the cup and handed it back.

The old woman turned to Naomi saying, "Do you agree to be bound to this male Inu demon for all eternity?" She noted the child standing near the two holding onto the woman's leg for security and the woman patting her head in comfort.

Naomi replied, "I have always been his even before he was willing to admit that he even wanted me as a mate and wife. I have no issues with binding my soul to him for all eternity." She took a drink from the cup sealing the ceremony between them.

Instantly their aura's swirled together dancing and combining above them until the had merged some and now his aura contained some pink in with his red and her aura had some of his blue. As they parted their aura's returned to each of them, now they truly were a part of each other. Sesshomaru was overwhelmed and couldn't resist leaning to his mate and kissing her passionately causing many there watching to gasp in surprise. He watched her cheeks tint red from embarrassment and loved that she still did so even after all the years they had been together.

The woman turned to Mika saying, "Would you truly like to be a part of them, my dear? If you drink now, you will change slightly to be their's in a sense."

Mika looked at the woman asking, "Would this hurt?" She was highly concerned while she desired to do it she didn't want to have to endure too much pain she had already experienced enough in her young life.

The woman smiled saying, "Absolutely not, your new Mother would have my head if it harmed you in any way. You have chosen well my dear and will be loved as her either way."

Mika nodded taking the cup drinking from it and watching as the same aura's from before started dancing with hers. She felt no pain and soon a piece of hers went into the other two and theirs went into hers. Her appearance changed slightly so that now she looked more like Naomi and Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru thanked the woman and turned to his mate saying, "Let's get our pup home I am sure she is tired and hungry."

Naomi could help but to agree with him thanking the woman herself before they took the limo home. First order of business was clean clothes and a bath. After the pup had been washed and dressed in clean clothes. Naomi got the seamstress working on clothes for the girl. She then took the girl to the table that was filled with food Naomi turned to her saying, "Eat your fill."

Naomi watched her eat and noticed her bad eating habits. For now, she decided to let it slide due to the child being so skinny. Sesshomaru had noticed as well, and he silently agreed with his mates choice to let the eating habits slide due to the child being underweight. He looked at her saying, "Do you think we should enroll her in school right away?"

Naomi sighed replying, "While I'd love to keep her home and get to know her better. I believe that she would be better served by attending school as soon as possible. Since today is Friday, I will have three days to get to know her and for her to settle into the household."

Mika grinned saying, "I get to go to school?" She watched excitedly as Naomi nodded yes she was so excited to be getting to go and to interact with other children her age.

Sesshomaru said, "I will call the doctor for a physical and the shots she will need to attend. I will let the school know of her background, and I am sure they will help her catch up to grade level quickly."

Naomi nodded as her mate made phone calls and within moments a doctor was in their home giving Mika an exam and shots for school. Once that was done the doctor had informed them that she appeared healthy other than being small and underweight. He recommended letting her eat her fill until she was a healthy weight. Once the doctor left Naomi along with Sesshomaru took their new daughter to her bedroom and tucked her into bed for the night and staying until she fell asleep.
