They were finally home, and Sarah took her mother by the hand and dragged her everywhere to show her everything. Sesshomaru allowed her and told everyone in the home just who the woman was and that she was to be treated as per her station while here.
Kagome could not get over how beautiful their daughter was,
"What is it?" Sarah asked,
Kagome giggled as they sat in the garden "I Just can get over how pretty you are" She said with a small blush,
"Father says I look like you"
Kagome snorted,
"No really, I asked if you were pretty and he said I look like you but I told him I look like him and he said its because I haven't seen you, he thinks your pretty to"
Kagome waved her hand "He's just being polite like he would tell his daughter that her mother was ugly"
"Father does not lie," She said with some concern written on her face.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that"
Sarah grabbed her mother's hands "You don't have to be shy"
"It's just its so hard, you should only be four and here you are, all grown up and taller than me"
"Well it's like you said, we have forever to make up for time"
"I'm sorry" Kagome got real and real fast,
"Sorry?"
"For leaving you."
"Oh mother" Sarah pulled her into a hug, "Inuyasha told me as soon as you came through the well, I know you did it because you loved me and father."
Kagome slowly pulled away "Seraphina; I know what your thinking" Kagome looked down,
"You do?"
"Your a lot like me, aren't you"
"So iv been told"
"Whatever your heart is holding onto for me and your father, it's not going to happen"
She watched as her daughter tried to make her face into a stone wall like her father "Don't do that, I got enough of that with him" She snapped,
"But, you love him"
"I loved him, past tense"
Her daughters face faded to sadness and Sesshomaru was watching from a balcony and wish he knew what caused that face.
She must have felt his eyes for she looked up, her mothers back was to him.
"Besides, he didn't love me, he may have cared a little at one time, but Sarah you and Rin are probably the only two things he ever loved fully"
"Don't look but he is watching us"
"He is probably in shock like I am"
"I know father, he still cares"
"Mature people care about the people who gave them children, he regards me because I am your mother, I know your father to" She smiled
"When he transformed last night and left, do you know why?"
"To get away?"
Their daughter laughed and fell back; Kagome was amused, "What?"
"He went to howl at the moon."
"Ok?" Kagome said slowly picking a flower; she was so happy.
Sarah sat back up "He was declaring you."
"Um, what?" A blush graced her face.
"He was telling others that you had returned that his pack was once again complete."
"I don't really understand all that stuff."
"That ok I will teach you as I grow, I am still a child in demon terms!"
Sarah looked up again "Father is watching you."
"He is just a curious cat is all."
"Father is a dog" Her daughter spoke in all seriousness.
Oh Lord, Kagome stood "Yeah, let's not go there"
"Hu?" She asked still sitting,
"last time I had a conversation like this I ended up pregnant with you"
Her daughter beamed and Kagome didn't have to turn and look at her to see it "Stop that"
The smile was wiped, partly. Her mother was going to her Father, she was hoping they would not avoid each other.
