Living with the Taisho's- as a mother and a housewife was not exactly a piece of cake. After a few weeks, she'd come to pick up on things such as what kind of breakfast Rin needed in the morning, how to pack Rin a bento for lunch, etc. What was hardest though was coming home and realizing that she had a kitchen in which she'd have to cook and clean.
Sesshomaru noticed her cooking patterns and helped her. He offered to clean the kitchen for her letting her relax. She didn't want to impose on him but it did beat the alternative so she let him do that. While he cleaned she calmly set about some essentials for Rin's lunch the next day and then went upstairs to put the girl to bed. Thus, it came as a surprise when two months into living with Sesshomaru Rin asked an interesting question breaking from the pattern.
"Can I call you mommy?" The question came right as Kagome was turning on the night light before leaving the room. Looking at Rin, her heart swelled and she smiled before replying.
"Of course. Good night Rin, have sweet dreams." Kissing her on the forehead Kagome waited until her daughter was fast asleep before she left.
