"Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked approaching her as they did the dishes that night. Rin had already disappeared having done her part of the kitchen chores when she'd wiped down the counters and table.

"What is it?" Kagome asked quickly, too quickly. She knew she had to ask Sesshomaru what his statement meant but it was scary. What if he wanted kids now? She didn't want them now, later yes but not now!

"What's wrong?" It had been a little over a year since he had met Kagome and Sesshomaru had to say that he knew her well enough to know something was bothering her. What was it though? Sighing, Kagome turned off the sink and turned to him. Sesshomaru, seeing her stance, gulped. They were going to have a serious conversation.
