"What's going on Sarah?" Shippo asked he was so much taller than her.
She smiled, he groaned "What?" She asked,
"You have that same sneaky look in your eyes that Kagome had when she was your age."
"Really?!" She beamed,
"That not always a great thing," He said flatly,
She was hurt instantly and turned her back to him,
"Uh, what I meant was-
"Nope, don't even" She began to walk away
"Sarah wait!" He tries to catch up with her. They walked in together, and she quickly ducked into her room and smiled with a blush.
"Oh, I know that look."
Sarah jumped "Mother!"
Kagome smiled "You love him."
"Shhhhh"
Kagome laughed oh this was differently her daughter; she could only hope her love life would be less complicated than her own.
"I promise you that your father already knows."
"He does?" She looked at her shocked "I could have sworn I kept my cool around him."
"I may have let it slip."
"You told him?"
"Sorry?"
Sarah sat down "I have learned to keep my emotion hidden like father."
"Really?" Now it was Kagome's turn to be shocked,
"Well normally I am a lot more formal, but I have 16 years pent up, father is being kind to let me slip."
"Slip?" Kagome questioned with slight concern on her face.
"Not like that mother, father is never cruel to me!"
Outside said father was staring down Shippo who nervously scratched his head "So, um what's this about Kagome going to see Kouga."
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes "Try again kit."
"Right, bad topic."
"Tell me, when did you plan on telling me that you have affections for our daughter."
Shippo blushed then bowed "I have only honorable affection, and I would never do anything without our prior consent I have merely been a friend to her, my mother taught me better than that."
Sesshomaru closed his eyes; Kagome was Shippos mother in sorts, that was two children she didn't get to see grow up.
"Then ask your question Kit."
Slowly Shippo stood up "My question?"
"Then you do not wish to court my daughter, my mat- Kagome is mistaken?" He tried to recover but Shippo heard him, but he wasn't about to say anything, he likes his head on his shoulders.
"No, I mean yes, I mean yes I would like to court Seraphina when the time is right."
Sesshomaru nodded, and Shippo's tail twitched "Then perhaps you should seek the women of this house out before I change my mind."
Shippo bowed and turned swiftly,
"And Kit"
Shippo stopped,
"Hai my Lord?"
"If you hurt her in any way, I will kill you."
Shippo swallowed slowly and then left the room and went to Sarah's room and knocked on her door.
"Sarah is Kagome with you?"
"Hai Shippo!"
"May I enter?"
Kagome opened the door "How about we exit?"
He backed up, and both women came out "Kagome can I ask you something?"
"Sure Shippo anything."
His eyes darted between them, and Kagome got it,
"Don't you think you should ask her father" Kagome but her hands on her hips in a motherly fashion.
"I did."
Her mouth dropped "You, did?"
"Well, more of he pointed out what you pointed out and then gave his blessing."
"He did?" Kagome said again as a smile grew slowly on her daughters face. Shippo smirked and then held out his hand to Sarah who looked at it like it was strange, then back up at him. Kagome shook her head and took her daughters hand and placed it in his "Don't waste time over thinking what clear as day."
She then walked away; they watched her. She didn't want their daughter to make this same mistakes as her father.
"Shouldn't we be telling her that?" Shippo asked,
"Yep"
"Sarah"
She looked at him again,
"I intend to mate you if you'll accept my courtship."
She looked away, and a blazing blush came to her face,
"Sarah" He pulled on her hand,
"Surely there are others more worthy than me, your so handsome and all."
He blushed "You think I'm handsome?"
She quickly looks up at him "Your very handsome!"
Now they were both blushing,
"Then accept me!"
"Hai!"
