That night they made camp and Kagome watched as her daughter kissed her fathers cheek and walked away from them.
"She will be ok?" Kagome asked,
"Hn, she is learning control, no one would dare touch her with me so close by."
Kagome looked up just in time to see her daughter fly high above them in true form; a big smile graced her face "That is your daughter" He said, and she looked at him "She is pretty."
He snorted "What else would she be?"
Kagome bit her lip "Are you sure you're ok with this?"
"Why would I not be, I will not deny her, her mother."
"Arnt I imposing on your life?"
"You are part of her life."
A fire separated them.
"I just figured you would be dating or something; everyone else seems to have settled down."
"I have no need of such; you, however, seem to be unattached as well unless I am mistaken."
Kagome broke eye contact and looked at the fire" I dated here and there, but it wasn't in me, I kept thinking about our baby, I felt like I would be betraying her if I got married and moved on, she was my heart, and I left her here."
Tears formed in her eyes "I miss out on everything."
"Crying about it now will do you know justice."
"Forgive me for having feelings Sesshomaru" She stood,
"Where are you going?"
"Away from you."
She turned and began to walk away, but he grabbed the back of her arm "You think you are the only one who has hurt Miko?"
"Let me go" She turned to him,
"She missed out on you, and I missed out on seeing her grow within you, we were all denied something" He harshly bit out,
"I can't get those years back, her first steps, her first words at least you have that!"
"And I will never know what you looked like swollen with her; I will never get to feel her within your womb, her kicks to you letting us know she was well and growing" His hand went to flat tummy, and she held in her breath "Was it difficult?" He asked,
"What?" She asked breathlessly,
"Pregnancy"
She stepped back "No, I loved every moment of it, I miss it."
Before he could respond their daughter came back "Everything ok?"
"Yeah, we were just talking about you" Kagome walked past him and sat back down with their almost grown daughter. They talked till sleep claimed her and their daughter.
He watched over them with pride; they were his to protect.
No, Kagome was just the mother of his child, he never claimed her.
Sesshomaru pulled out his sword when he felt something coming, he knew who it was, and he was in no mood right now. He walked away from them to meet the being who was coming way to close to what was his.
"Wolf"
"Sesshomaru, where is Kagome?!"
"Asleep, you will leave her."
"I have every right to see her; she don't belong to you."
"She is the mother of my child."
"That don't make her yours."
"If she wishes to see you she will seek you out, now leave."
"No, I was dumb enough to leave her with Inuyasha I won't be dumb enough to leave her with you."
"Kouga?" Sesshomaru closed his eyes as his daughter came forward,
"My Lady" He bowed deeply,
"Kouga, cant I have my mother to myself for a little while?"
He stood, his tail between his legs "Yeah, um, sure" He was weak when it came to her. He would deny her nothing.
"Don't worry I am sure she will want to see you soon."
"Yeah of course." He blushed slightly while scratching the back of his head.
She waved, and he bowed and back away, then he was gone. Sarah smiled up at her father and then returned to her sleeping mother.
Women were going to be the death of many men.
