"Mama," Kagome announced walking into the kitchen with Sesshomaru, "look!" Mrs. Higurashi spared her daughter a quick glance from the stove and smiled. There on Kagome's hand was the ring she already knew she was going to see.
"Congratulations you two." Returning to the stir fry on the stove she posed her next questions. "Sesshomaru are you staying for dinner? And do let me know if you're planning a wedding later."
"I would love to stay for dinner." Sesshomaru answered. "But do you mind if Rin joins as well?"
"Of course not." The elder woman stated choosing to not mention the fact that he'd ignored her second question. She didn't have to worry about his answer however.
"As for a marriage, if Kagome wishes it will happen." The statement caught both women by surprise. Kagome hadn't thought about a wedding on top of the mating but she knew her mother, as much as she understood the importance of the mating, would like to see her in her wedding kimono. Did she want one though?
