Sesshomaru watched the miko frolic in the meadow of flowers with Rin and the fox kit the tiny neko chasing after her.
Their ecstatic giggles filled the air.
Watching them Sesshomaru made his decision.
"Miko." He raised his voice only enough to catch her attention. She turned to look at him cobalt eyes sparkling with mirth a slight smile lifting the corner of her lips.
"Hai, Sesshomaru?"
"The west is in need of an heir and you are a natural mother; therefore, this one has decided you will give him an heir."
Kagome's mouth fell open and she gaped at him her eyes glazed with shock. The children stopped to stare at their respective parent figures.
Sesshomaru merely stared at Kagome a moment before leaning forward and closing her mouth with one finger.
"As I need a legitimate heir, you shall mate me as well. Our mating shall take place tonight." He leaned closer to the immobilized miko and whispered in her ear.
"You have five hours to prepare for our mating ceremony. Say your goodbyes because we shall not be leaving our chambers again until I am sure you are pupped. Prepare yourself for a very long three days, mate."
He caught her as she fainted.
