Kagome thought that was the sweetest thing that anyone had ever said to her. Nonetheless she was still scared and she was not going to pretend she wasn't scared. Still Sesshomaru's confidence did ease that fear a little.
"Let's go to bed too."
"Hn." He leaned over and gave her a kiss before turning off his bedside lamp. However Sesshomaru couldn't sleep.
Hours after Kagome and Rin had gone to bed he was looking at the two of them as they slept. Rin had moved closer to Kagome a while back and the two females were snuggled together. They looked peaceful, beautiful, and truly like a mother and daughter. It made Sesshomaru feel a strong sense to protect something; a strong sense to protect these two sleeping next to him and any other family he had in the future. Smiling, he finally let out a yawn and decided to call it a night.
