"Both Yoshi and I want to try for kids now. Earlier we were both too caught up in our careers to care about anything else. Now, we have time and we'd like to spend our days at home running after little children. I just wanted to know someone's feelings on the subject."

"Oh." Kagome wasn't sure what else to say. She was grateful that Ayumi trusted her with such important information but at the same time she wondered why Ayumi had chosen to tell her instead of her other friends; friends she was much closer to.

"I just thought we were kind of alike Kagome, I'm sorry if I scared you." Ayumi stated laying a hand on Kagome's arm. "We both are entering motherhood right now- in a way- and well I just wanted to talk with someone I could relate to." Kagome smiled and laid a hand on the one holding hers.

"I'm glad we're friends." She answered smiling.
