Chapter Seven: Reunion

"After that I ran into you, literally," she finished while the sobs broke through the forest. Sesshoumaru was now holding Kagome while sitting under the god tree. He understood what had happened in her life. He knew he didn't want to have anything happen to her now. She had let him share her pain. It was going to be his turn next and he would tell her everything that had happened to him.

They just sat there for a time, not speaking but giving and receiving something they never thought the other would give. That was when Sesshoumaru heard a disturbance from the camp and knew they had to get back to see what was going on. He sighed aloud not wanting to move from this position. It just felt right. "We better go and see what is happening."

"Why?" Kagome asked drying her eyes. She didn't hear that the commotion and did not really want to move.

"Something is going on and I want to know what." That was his answer. He stood up and placed her gently on her feet. They walked back to camp in silence. Half way there Kagome finally heard the commotion and walked a little faster.

"Let me go!" was a yell that they heard once they walked into camp. "That hurts you know!"

"Be quiet you!" was Jaken's croaked reply. Renku had the disturbance in his hand apparently because his back was turned and Jaken was looking at it when he yelled.

"That is enough yelling," a cold voice broke though the yelling. Both Jaken and Renku quickly turned around to see their lord standing right next to a cold miko. When Renku turned everyone heard a shocked gasp from Kagome.

"Shippo?" She looked at the disturbance and was shocked to find the young fox that she considered to be her son upside down being held by the tail in Renku's hand.

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome out of the side of his eye and saw the hope return to her eyes. He decided he would let her keep this fox. It was the least he could do after she told him her story. He wanted her to be happy again.

"Ka-go-me?" was Shippo's slow reply to her one worded question. He saw her nod slightly. He lunged towards her but found he couldn't get to her. "Hey, fox! Let me go!"

"You know this kit, my lady?" Renku asked, just to make sure that the little one would not try to get them to move again. That was annoying the first time.

"Yes. Please let him go Renku." Kagome was letting her emotion color her voice once more. Sesshoumaru was pleased with that fact.

Renku though dropped the kit in surprise. Kagome had never shown emotion to anyone but Sesshoumaru and Rin, well save Jaken but that was only anger.

The kit ran up to Kagome and tackled her so she landed on the ground with an oomph. He was speaking incoherently into her shirt. "Quiet, Shippo. It's all right. I'm here." She whispered to her pup. He was crying lightly into her shirt.

"Kagome-sama, who is that?" Rin asked walking up to the two beings that where on the ground.

"Rin-chan this is my pup, Shippo. Shippo this is Sesshoumaru-sama's ward, Rin." Kagome said quietly so she wouldn't take like her pup and cry. The servants were all staring awestruck at the scene in front of them. None of them had known that Kagome had a son. This was news to them.

"Kagome," Sesshoumaru said after the two little ones ran off to play before dinner, Rin feeling much better after her nap, "I wish for you to know that we will be stopping about mid-day tomorrow I wish to walk with you alone."

"Yes, of course Sesshoumaru-sama." was all she said before a slight cry of alarm broke though the clearing. It had been Shippo. Kagome looked over at him and saw he was looking straight at Sesshoumaru.

"Something wrong baby?" she called to knock him out of the daze he seemed to have gotten himself into. He then shock himself and bonded at Kagome.

"Momma? Why are we with Sesshoumaru?" he asked into her ear so that Sesshoumaru would, supposedly, not hear.

"Because your mother has become part of my household, kit," was Sesshoumaru's reply to show he had heard.

"Oh," Shippo said, then thought of something and said, "Then Lord Sesshoumaru, may I please travel with your party?" He had said that formally, like he had been raised to be a prince. Sesshoumaru raised a single eyebrow, after that he would have taken in the kit even if he had not made the promise to himself earlier.

"Yes you may." That and the look on Kagome's face, the surprised and very happy face that she put on, would have made up his mind instantly.

Kagome was so surprised, she had thought she would have to fit with him, or beg which ever was easier, to get him to allow Shippo to stay. She was so happy that she smiled up at him. This was what she needed, that and someone to talk to, and Sesshoumaru gave her both. This had to be a dream. All well, she would deal with the end when she had to. Now it was time to eat. With that dinner was announced and the two children and two adults, that looked so much like a family right then, went to eat their dinner.
