Excitement welled up in Kagome's chest as Sesshoumaru passed over her and Inuyasha. Waving heartily, she called out to the beautiful demon dressed in white, "hello nii-san!"

For the first time in over 200 years Sesshoumaru physically paused mid-air and gaped at the pair below. Shock was etched in his expression as the young girl broke into giggles at the sight. There was no way he was going to let this pass; his visit with Rin could wait. Slowly he sank to the ground and lighted in front of the young miko.

"Ah get out of here, you big dumbass, can't you see we're having a moment here?" Inuyasha exploded.

Sesshoumaru merely smirked at his younger sibling. He stepped in front of Inuyasha to peer into the girl's face. There was no mistaking it, this was the same girl who disappeared three years ago. His gamble had paid off.

"You called me nii-san," he stated plainly.

Kagome's heart caught in her throat. She was speechless, but her fire-rat clad friend was not.

"You bastard, I said, we're having a moment here!"

Sesshoumaru faced Inuyasha and grinned widely. "Have I ever taught you about the proper mating rights of our kind?" he questioned.

Inuyasha's face flushed in embarrassment. "Keh, What do you care?"

"I care, dear BROTHER, because I'm the eldest sibling."

"Uh, excuse me," Kagome raised her hand to wave at the brothers, "What does being the elder sibling have to do with anything?"

"What that means," Sesshoumaru's smile widened more, "Is that he can't mate until I do."

"WHAT?!" Kagome and Inuyasha shouted in unison.

"That's bullshit!" Inuyasha spat out.

"I'm afraid he's right," a gentle voice pipped in.

"Miroku! How are.. I mean, how do you. . . I mean, well, tell me what you mean?" Kagome sputtered.

Miroku ran his hand through his black silky hair.

"Well, Kagome, Inuyasha, I've been learning about the Inu way from Sesshoumaru. He stops by every week after checking up on Rin."

"I don't give a shit about tradition," Inuyasha began, but a look from Miroku cut him short. "I don't like that look, Miroku."

Miroku turned to Sesshoumaru and shrugged. "I'll tell them if you want, but you'd probably be better at explaining the consequences."

"Consequences!" Kagome and Inuyasha cried.

Uncomfortable with the silence when Sesshoumaru didn't answer, Miroku tried to answer the question in his friends' eyes.

"Well, uh, it seems as if Inus are born with a special trait to preserve their power blood line." Miroku ventured. "Uh, if you two uh, try to have kids before Sesshoumaru has any, then, uh, it will be uh, unsuccessful. You do want kids, don't you Kagome?"

Kagome closed her eyes and tried to imagine what life in the feudal era would be like without any children of her own. If she and Inuyasha were bound and didn't have children, then the villagers would think the union was cursed. Then visions of the handsome Western Lord came in to view. 'Ah yes,' she thought, 'this will be interesting.'

Kagome opened her eyes suddenly and looked directly at Sesshoumaru. "Yes, we want children," she stated plainly. "What do we have to do?"

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed and the cheesiest grin ever spread across his face. "Well, you could wait until I found a suitable mate for myself," he began.

"Damnit, Sesshoumaru, she ain't got that kind of time!" Inuyasha barked. "You're the pickiest asshole I've ever seen. You'd find something wrong with every potential mate just to spite me!"

"Inuyasha, be quiet." Kagome began. "Are there other options?" she asked.

Miroku, who had been fidgiting for the entire conversation, spoke again, "Uh, I think I need to check on my wife. She's pretty busy with our children and all."

Kagome watched Miroku scurry away in amusement. "Well," she continued, "are there other options?"

Sesshoumaru practically beamed at her question. He had waited for three years for this moment. All those nights talking to Miroku telling him about the fake "mating" rituals of Inu demons had panned out exactly as planned. The miko would be his, and she was going to be his willingly.

"There is only one other way. This Sesshoumaru's pup must be your first born."

Kagome tried to remain somber at his suggestion while Inuyasha hurled insults at his brother. Sure, she had fantasized many an erotic scenario with Inuyasha, however, she had entertained other fantasies as well. It seemed the fates were in her favor. Mustering all the seriousness she could and squaring her shoulders, she took Inuyasha's hand.

"We'll do it." Kagome said.
