Autumn
Kagome was getting helped into her autumn kimono that she wore to the harvest festival every year. After she was finished she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled down at her belly.
"You still haven't told who the guy is." Sango said touching her belly while looking up at Kagome.
"I told you Sango he died and there is no reason to talk about it. I will love this child with all my heart. Beside he will have an aunty that will spoil him totally rotten." Both girls laughed at this knowing that it was true she would be teaching the babe how to climb trees, hunt and even fish.
"Who knows father may even let me take him under my wing and teach him all about the art of demon slaying." She got a frown from Kagome on this as Sango stood up and smoothed out her own kimono.
The smell of the all the wonderful foods hit their noses as they walked up the steps of Kagome's family shrine that was now run by her brother Sōta. The sound of children laughing brought a maternal smile to Kagome's face as she spotted all the families that had decided to come with their children.
"Your brother has really made the shrine popular again." Sango said paying for two packs of noodles for them both.
"Yes he is amazing though it was when he hit high school that he really got popular. He used to get chased home by some of the girls." Kagome said remembering his scared face as he came out of the bone eaters well.
Sitting down under the Tree of Ages and watching as the leaves slowly made their way down. Sōta now a man wore priest grab like their grandpa did.
"Hey sis I am glad you could make it today. Though you should have seen it yesterday the women finally stopped chasing me around." He stopped talking and motion behind him. "It is all thanks to him that I could do my job right." He said patting the back of the tall masked gentleman in the white outfit. The mask was of a dog and he wore a long white boa on one shoulder.
"Well he certainly is tall, how about it Kagome he anything like your type?" Kagome blushed at Sango's words.
The festivities were drawling to a close and a tired Kagome looked up at the tree ready to cry. As she absent mindedly rubbed the baby-bump that was starting to show. A large hand touched her shoulder bringing her out of her musings.
"Who is the father?" A strong male voice asked making a shiver go down her spine. Tears leaked out of the corners of her eyes as she turned and looked up at the masked man.
Taking a shaking hand up to the mask she was about to touch it but was stopped. By one of the man's warm ones. "Tell me who the father is." This made Kagome angry at him so she struggled to pull her hand away but he was too strong.
"Stop it! Let me go!" She cried getting the attention of Sōta and Sango.
Pulling free her hand free she stumbled back and the masked man stopped her fall. Making the mask fall off and Kagome seen it and started to cry in earnest as she took his face in her hands and stared into his eyes. Before pulling him into a kiss that at first he tried to pull away from. But he couldn't deny her and instead deepened the kiss.
The pulled back taking heavy breaths as both Sōta and Sango looked at them which made both of them laugh.
