He grabbed her chin and pushed her against the tree "Tell me why I should not kill you right now, you let my seed grow within you and not once sought me out, then I find out, and you're gone, leaving her, my daughter without her mother, why should I not kill you"

"It was your fault!" She yelled, and his hand got tighter on her chin as her defiant eyes looked back at him "Defiant as ever I see."

She sneers "I will never be beneath you again."

His nose touched her "As if I would ever allow you such pleasure again woman, now answer me"

"You really don't know?"

His eyes glaring at her, she knew he didn't,

"I had nothing other than her holding me here after we defeated Naraku I went into labor, and as much as I wanted to wish on the jewel to stay to be with her I made the most unselfish wish anyone, mostly a mother, could make"

His hold on her loosened,

"She was early Sesshomaruu, it was my last effort to rid the world of him so that she could be born in peace, I suceeded in riding him, but then I went into labor because of my actions and I knew what would happen, so I simply wished, and in my heart I wished she would be your pride and joy and that you would be pleased even if it meant not having me around as a reminder to you that I was human, I didn't want her to feel the pain Inuyasha did, I gave up my daughter so that she could be with her father, the jewel was going to take me back and her with it"

But the jewel heard more than just her whispered wish, it listened to her heart.

Tears streamed down her face as her let her heart cry "I gave her up because I foolishly fell in love with you and wanted you to have something that everyone else seems to deny you, she's yours, she's all yours, your power, your look alike, your pride, your joy, your heir, a pure-blooded demon, because I loved her more than anything!"

She sniffed "I wished the jewel away and losing her was my punishment" She tried to look down "Even pure wishes aren't free."

His hand didnt leave her chin,

"Ours," He said,

"What?"

"She is ours."

Her tears stopped but her eyes didn't meet his, he looked down at her, to her belly that was now flat.
He never saw her pregnant; he had missed it all. She was wearing a sundress, it was yellow with green and pink abstact flowers on it, it showed her shoulders and far to much of her leg, thoughth he should not have been surpised.

"You should have come to me" He released her,

"You meant it when you said not come looking for you," And she was not going to chase him as she had done with Inuyasha.

"My seed growng within you would have been a good reason to come Miko."

She turned "Stop saying that" A blush graced her face "Its only been 4 years for me, how old is she"

"16"

"I missed it all."

"So it would seem with both missed out on our daughter."

"You didn't miss anything" She sighed "Can I see her?"

He yanked his sword from the tree and placed it back at his side "Do you plan on staying this time miko."

Kagome looked back at the well "I dont get to say what the well does, but maybe she would be enough binding to keep me here this time."

He looked back at the well, he hated that well, it was nothing but trouble and it took a mother from a daugher.

"Do you wish to stay, here, forever miko?"

"I would never willingly leave her."

He took out his sword again "Then I shall rid us of what keeps us apart."

Kagome braced herself as Sesshomaru took one swing, destorying the well completely, it would never again take her away.

When the dust settled he placed his sword back "Come, our daughter wishes to meet you."

Kagome slowly nodded and followed, all the while trying to calm her fluttering heart.
