Everyone settled down for tea around the Higurashi dining table. If Mrs. Higurashi noticed when Rin clambered into her daughters lap, she didn't say anything about it. Sesshomaru waited till it looked like everyone had finished their tea before clearing his throat.
"Mrs. Higurashi, Kagome and I have decided to become mates. We would like your blessing for our relationship." Mrs. Higurashi placed a hand upon her mouth in shock. She knew that mating was far more important to demons and that it involved lifetime bonds. Turning her eyes to her daughter she looked to see if Kagome had any doubts. Instead of that, she saw happiness in her daughter's eyes and apprehension on her face as she awaited her response.
"Well then. As long as you two are happy I don't have any objections." A sigh of relief left the couple and Mrs. Higurashi stood up. "Now, would you like to help me make cookies Rin?" The little girl didn't need to be told twice and went with her new grandmother into the kitchen giving Kagome and Sesshomaru some much needed privacy.
