I was to lazy to check to see if it did come up, but I didn't so I am humbly sorry and hope that you except my apology. Also I am sorry for the delay for the chapter!!! I was having a bit of a writers block as to what I should write next. Also all those wonderful reviewers ou there should give themselves a nice big hug!!! You guys are so cool!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Letting out a quick sigh, Kagome turned around in her swivel chair over and over. As much as she loved books, her job at the library was getting kind of quiet. All last night after he had hung up on her, she hadn't been able to stop thinking of what had transpired between her and Seshoumaru.

It was almost as if her brain didn't want to stop thinking about it, but she did. Every time she thought about it, her cheeks would be stained a bright pink for at least the next ten minutes. Never in her life had she met someone so…bold. His method was effective but did he have to use it all the time. He could have simply used a psychological way of getting her to understand. You know that whole crap where someone tells you to imagine you're with someone somewhere.

But no…he had to really get into it. It was very strange to her, the emotions that were needed to go along with the movements, they seemed to feel like it was fluid but almost in its own way…rough. Kagome couldn't help but let her fingers trace her jaw line at the memory of the feathery touches, placed upon that damned man.

The entire time all Kagome could do was nod her head and try to comply with his wishes, too caught up in the emotion to really care. It was almost as if she was intoxicated, but not by drugs; by his touches.

Kagome was still inexperienced in the ways of showing such affection, still being a virgin would do that to a person. She had never let herself be swayed like the other girls, never feeling attracted to any guy all through out high school and college. They all seemed to just want her body, not what she truly had to offer. So she held out, simply waiting and earning the best grades in her class.

They never fell cause she was never to preoccupied, they were always in tip top shape. She graduated early, about a year early actually, and got a job somewhere quiet so that she could earn enough o keep her dance studio. The thought of working in a cubicle with several phones ringing all the time just didn't seem to appeal to her likings, so she chose to stick with something quiet and subtle.

Through college Kagome had gained a few friends, that helped her along with her loneliness, not really having someone to talk to. It was almost like a god send, when she first met Sango, she was so amazed that someone so pretty had the same grades as her. Or would even talk to her for that matter.

After awhile they began talking to each other everyday and even making plans to buy a house together. But there was always a bit of mystery to her friend. Sango had once told her that she came from a long line of demon exterminators, her mother even had a this family heirloom of a weapon that her great great great great great great grandmother had used to fight off the demons.

But to Kagome it looked like a giant boomerang. Towards the middle of college both Sango and Kagome had the chance of meeting Miroku, who is supposedly a descendent of wholly monks. But if you asked her he was just a hentai.

But he was bit of a mystery too, often she would catch both Miroku and Sango a little strangely as if there was something different. Miroku once told her that she was surrounded by a great spiritual force, but just kind of brushed it off, not really understanding.

And then they met Jakotsu. He was really strange, but I guess that could only be described him being gay and acting on his hormones. In fact sometimes, he made Kagome and Sango feel less of a girl then him, with all the stuff he knew.

But Sango or Kagome would never oblige when he groped Miroku, giving the hentai a piece of his own medicine. Not that he would've minded, as long as it was from a girl.

But whenever they needed someone to laugh with or cry with hey were always together, making Kagome feel as if she still had a whole family.

After Kagome had left to college her mother died in a car accident due to a drunk driver. And at a young age her father died from a rare brain disease. So after awhile it was just her and her younger brother Souta, she helped him through school, and now he too has just entered his first year of college. He will be heading out to spend his second and third year of college studying abroad in America, and then after he will come back for awhile, before going to Europe to study Architecture.

So now, Kagome was twenty three, living in a nice home, with her friend Sango. Sango had a well paying job at a museum dedicated to the Feudal Era, or the time when Demons and mikos had somewhat coexisted until a deranged Hanyou or half breed demon had plagued the lands with hatred.

So now we're back to square one…sitting in a library, no one to talk to, and slowly becoming dizzy from spinning on a swivel chair. God damn this day was so boring. No one was really going to the library today; she didn't even have to go look for some hormone controlled teens In the back of the library.

Kagome looked back towards the front desk at the sound of a small bell being rung. Tiny hands gripped the front of the desk, as if trying to pull the owner up, and a pair of large curious eyes peered at her just barely visible due to the height of the desk.

Giving a warm smile, Kagome leaned forward so that the child was visible. Kagomes' smile seemed to widen at the sight of a cute little girl, long black hair and a pretty little yellow sundress. The small figure stepped back a bit before returning an equally large smile, if not larger. Taken back a bit at the force of the smile, Kagome moved around the desk, and got on her knees so that she was eye to ye with the adorable child.

"Hi, my name is Kagome and might ask what your name is?" Kagome placed her hands on the edges of her knees and continued to smile. She just couldn't find herself to stop, this child hadn't even said a word and yet she had Kagome smiling like there was no tomorrow. But Kagome surely wasn't expecting the amount of energy held within the small child, "My name is Rin!! My Otousan brought me to the library so that I could get a book!!"

Kagome just sort of sat the blinking at the child in surprise. Remembering what she said, Kagome quickly extended her hand for the little girl to take. The girl looked at her curiously before quickly grasping it and pulling Kagome with an amazing amount of strength to the children's section.

Blinking in surprise Kagome let herself be dragged along. Upon reaching their destination, The little girl known as Rin sat her in a chair and told her to wait there, while she went and got her Otousan. A moment later Rin came back bouncing along with another hand in her grasp. Looking at the little girl happily she moved her gaze upward to promptly almost fall out of her seat.

There he was, looking just about as regal as ever silver hair falling gracefully around him, looking at her as if he wasn't the least bit shocked. While all Kagome could do was just stare back at him, blinking in surprise at him.

She honestly didn't expect him to have a child, in fact she thought him to be more of the player type, not really settling down. But apparently she was wrong, because here he was with his child. The little girl didn't seem the least bit phased as she let go of Seshoumarus' hand and grabbed Kagomes' to pull her over to the book cases. Setting kagome down once more she turned around to face her.

Hands clasped tightly in front of her, and a large smile on her face, "Kagome-chan, will you help me find a book?" Kagome was taken aback when she had said Chan at the end of her name. This girl just met her and already she was using chan? How strange, Kagome had never chanced upon, a child so trusting. Nodding her haed Kagome moved closer to the book case to help the child, "Yes I think I will. So what type of book do you want to read?"

Giving a bright smile, "Any book that Kagome-chan picks out, Rin would be happy to read!" Once again taken a back Kagome blinked in surprise before letting a warm smile spread over her features, "Hmmm, I think you would love to read Cinderella."

Rins' smile never faltered as she tried to sound out the name, "cin-der-ewa?" Smiling at the child's failed attempt to say it completely right, she continued on, "Yes, Cinderella. It is a story that originated in a place called Europe and quickly became popular in America. I personally enjoy this story very much, and it is also one of my favorites."

Rin nodded her head in quick succession to show that she understood. Looking back to Seshoumaru she held the book at arms length in front of her, and it was all Kagome could do to keep from laughing when Rin decided to speak up. "Look Sesshie-kun," Seshoumarus' left eye twitched slightly, "Look what Kagome-chan picked out for me!! Will my fluffy puppy and Kagome-chan read it to me?"

Seshoumarus' eye seemed to start twitching uncontrollably at the nickname, but tried to keep his composure. But that was very hard when your daughter just called you their 'fluffy puppy' in front of someone else. In fact Seshoumaru wasn't prepared to how hard it would be when she called him that in public.

Giggling slightly, Kagome quickly shut up when Seshoumaru threw her a very icy glare. But that still didn't keep her from smiling, and letting the mirth show in her eyes. Kagome was about to grab the book, when a large orange mass came flying at her at what seemed like fifty miles per hour. Quickly being knocked to the ground, the orange fur ball clung to Kagome as if her life depended on it. Meanwhile the entire time shouting 'Okaasan'

Trying to get up and failing kagome lie on the ground and looked up to see none other then Shippo smiling down at her, a big goofy grin plastered on his face. Looking up at him she gave him quick hug, before try to detach herself from the boy. Two big eyes peered down at Kagome as she lay on the ground, her adoptive son hugging her.

"Kagome-chan," Kagome looked up at Rin, "who is this?" Rin deftly pointed to Shippo. Looking from Rin to Shippo she quickly understood, "Rin this is my son Shippo," turning towards Shippo, "and Shippo this Rin."

Rin gave another big smile before heading over to Seshoumaru to ask if she could play with Shippo. Nodding his head in approval Rin quickly ran back to Kagome to ask the same thing, waiting patiently as kagome pried her son of her form, and sitting up on her knees. Looking at her son sternly she grabbed his hand and looked him in the eye, "Shippo, how did you get here, and why are you all by yourself?"

Giving her a big smile, "Auntie Sango took me here, but I couldn't wait to see you so I took off before she could turn off the car all the way." Kagome gave him a disapproving look, but before she could scold him Sango walked in. "Its fine Kagome, the little tyke has been itching to see you all day now. I didn't even have time to ask where he was at school, he was already in my car!" Sango gave a Kagome a big smile, before enveloping her friend in a hug.

Extending her hand Sango helped pull her friend up off the floor, stray locks of black hair falling to frame her face. Kagome gave a Sango a hug before turning her attention back to Rin. Standing their shyly, one foot kicking an invisible rock, Rin looked up with hopeful eyes at Kagome. "Ummm, Rin was wondering if Shippo-chan could come over to Rins' home and play with her." Rin looked down at the ground as if afraid that Kagome would say no.

Kagome gave Rin a big smile before answering, "Of course Shippo can come over, but only if its okay with your Otousan." Kagome looked over to Seshoumaru waiting for his answer. He gave a small nod, before smiling at Rins' actions as she jumped up and down in delight.

Looking back at Shippo and Rin and then to Seshoumaru she walked up to him. " Are you sure its fine that Shippo can come over?" Seshoumaru looked up at Kagome, "Yes its fine, but I would request that you come along as well." Kagome nodded her head in understanding, "Well thank you, I get off of work in a bout an hour, but if you would like you may take Shippo along with you before hand." I have a few errands to run, then I should be over. Umm, also…where do you live?"

Taking out a small rectangular piece of paper, he handed it to Kagome who took it gingerly. Looking down at the paper she was amazed to find that it was the same exact place as his studio. It turns out that his studio was built in his home.

Nodding her thanks, she turned to Sango to ask what she was doing. Sango gave Kagome a strange look, still not sure if Kagome completely understood, who she was talking to. Looking from Seshoumaru to Kagome Sango gave Kagome a sly smile before telling her what it was she here for. "Kagome don't tell me you forgot?" Sango put her hand to her forehead in a jokingly dramatic fashion, "Why I'm here to drop off your lunch like I do everyday!" Both girls burst out in a fit of giggles. Sango handed her her lunch before saying a quick goodbye.

"Hey Sango, where are you going?" Sango turned around to look at Kagome, "I have a lunch date." Kagome felt her jaw drop to the ground. "Since when did you date? And with who?!" Giving Kagome a coy look before walking out waving her hand in a dismissive manner.

Kagome turned around on her heel staring at the children, hands folded over her chest, and a thoughtful look on her face. Seshoumaru was to say the least a tad bit entertained, but didn't show it. In fact he just played it off as if it never happened. Leaving her pondering to another time, Kagome walked up to Rin and Shippo.

"If your Otousan will allow it you guys may leave early and I will stop by later after work and play with you guys; okay?" The children looked cress fallen, "But if you promise to be good for Seshoumaru-sama, then I promise to bring you back something special!" The children nodded in enthusiasm, and she looked to Seshoumaru to make sure it was okay. Once again he nodded his approval, and got up to stand by her side.

Looking back at the children, she went over the rules with Shippo and made sure that he under stood that he was to do his homework, and be very well behaved like she taught him. Then turning to Rin and telling her that she will check the book out for her, and bring to her when she's done with work. When both children nodded enthusiastically, she took that as her que to say her goodbyes and ensure them that she will be back. As the children bounced out the library and into Seshoumarus' car, Kagome turned to Seshoumaru and thanked him once again, before waving goodbye, as they drove off.
