They were all waiting and standing when Kagome and Sesshomaru came over the dirt hill into the village. Kagome's eyes landed on the girl again, and Sesshomaru picked up on her heart, he looked at her "I just had her, it's only been four years for me, I missed her life."

The hurt and pain were so evident in her face.

They came to a stop before them, and slowly the child they had made together moved forward, she reached out, and Kagome leaned in and in an instant mother and daughter were united, and a feeling rushed over him, and he wanted to howl at the moon.

Sesshomaru transformed and took off to the sky. Kagome gasped "It's ok mother," Their daughter told her, then all her friends dragged her inside.

Far away and out of her earshot he howled, letting every demon know that the pack was once again whole, that the mother of his child had returned and she was off limits.
When he returned, his daughter was on all fours leaning over and looking at her mother, who was blushing.

"Have a good howl Sesshomaru" Inuyasha smirked

"Silence," He said as he sat down "Seraphina," He said, and she sat back on her heels,

"It's ok," Kagome said, she could not blame her.

"Mother"

Kagome blushed again "Hai?"

"Can you show me your power?"

"Um, sure, though I haven't used them in years, I did think about using them on Hojo once."

"Not that kid again," Inuyasha said,

"Who's Hojo," Her daughter asked looking at Inuyasha,

"Think Kouga but milder, weaker and human" Inuyasha offered,

"Did he do something?" Her daughter asked looking back at her mother.

"He wanted to hold my hand; I wasn't ready, he thought it was an electric shock, It was actually my power" She laughed,

Her daughter glance ever so quickly at her father, whose golden eyes were locked on Kagome, the flames from the fire dancing against his eyes.

"Here" Kikyo offered her a bow and arrow, Kagome took them, and they made their way outside again.

"It may not be that great" Kagome stated again,

But her daughter looked at her with great interest, so Kagome raised her bow, took her stance and let her power rise. Seraphina stepped back as her power shot out just like the arrow she let fly, it rushed to the sky and burst into flames. "Wow"

Sesshomaru watched as Kagome handed her the bow and she took a shot, she didn't have holy power, but she knew how to use a bow, they both laughed and pride swelled in him. He knew his daughter looked like her mother, but now that they stood side by side, he really saw her. It was funny though, their daughter was a little taller than her mother, and he was taller than them both.

In his musing, he didn't see Kagome come up to him "My Lord."

His eyes snapped down at her, her calling him that rubbed him the wrong way, "Hn."

"Cant she stay with me for a bit?"

He looked past her to their daughter, she was their daughter, and if she wanted her to stay he could not deny her, but he had not left her since she was born.

"I will not leave her unprotected."

Kagome put her hands on her hips "I can protect her you know."

"If you wish to spend time with her then you can simply join us."

"Join you?"

"Hn, we will return West, it is her home."

Kagome looked back at their daughter who stood waiting,

"Is that ok, aren't you mated or something"

"If I were mated you would know it" His eyes didn't leave her,

She looked back at him "I would?"

"I would have many more children than just her."

Kagome waved her hands "I don't wanna know."

"You asked"

"I guess I'll go, if only for a little while."

"Daughter, come."

She bowed and raced up to her father but linked arms with her mother "We are going home aren't we!"

"Indeed"

Kagome told everyone she would be back soon to catch up with them; they understood her need to leave with them, she wanted to know her daughter. They were her friends and they understood that her daughter came first.

So they traveled West, with Sesshomaru leading the way as an Alpha should.

"I am excited" Their daughter spoke,

Kagome smiled "I am a little sad, I missed out on so much, by my timeline you should only be 4" She pouted,

"Be not sad mother; we can make up for last time, we have forever!" She beamed,

"Forever is but a moment to her, do not forget your mother is human, use this time wisely," He told them, which caused Kagome to stop moving,

"I am basically the same age as her" Actually she was 21 but close enough,

"What does that have to do with immortality Miko" He stopped walking and looked back at them.

She put her hands on her hips, and their daughter watched with great joy as her parents began to interact,

"Aren't you supposed to be the smart brother" She snapped,

He turned to her fully "Woman."

"Don't you woman me, I would have thought you would have noticed by now." She said a bit loud,

Their daughter could not believe her tone and that her father had yet to put her in her place.

"I notice only that you have not curved your mouth."

"You would like that wouldn't you."

"Kagome" He warned,

"Sesshomaru" She snapped back then she relaxed "Haven't you noticed at all?"

"Notice what?" He asked,
so she walked close to him till he was looking down at her "Well?"

He looked over her, she was still the same girl that left him, hot to the mouth and young and so pretty and clean and it was like she did not age at all, hell if he didn't know better he would have thought their coupling had just happened, then something must have danced over his eyes but she crossed her arms "I have aged, but I am the same as the day you last saw me"

He locked eyes with her "We" She pointed to herself and then their daughter and back to herself "Have all the time in the world."

"Mother" She gasped "How?"

Kagome turned to her "The jewel" Was all she said,
