Authors Note: Shout Out to all my reveiwers. But a special shout out to reviewer 100. (Jumps and yells yay!) Speedykitten1643- Thank You!!!!! I finally have 100 reviews on something and you made it possible. YAY!!!!

Apology: To my faithful reviewers, I am sorry that this chapter has taken awhile to become available to you. I just needed a little break to find and capture my muse, as well as get my head on straight. Hope you will forgive me.

Last Time: Kagome saw how content he was and scratched behind his ear.

"Come on, Sesse. I have to make dinner." she said, heading back downstairs.

He followed after her and to the kitchen.

"Go on to the sitting room. You will be bored in here." she instructed.

He did as she said and went to the sitting room. When he got there he saw Shippo petting Buyo and... No. No.

"That boy is going to learn to NOT have his arms around my daughter." he growled.


The growl that was erupting from Sesshomaru caught the attention of the rooms' occupants. Shippo understood every growl and tried his best not to laugh, Rin sighed, and Sota became a bit uneasy.

"Rin why is he growling?" Sota asked.

Sesshomaru had a death glare trained on Sota. The boy had his arms around Rin and that is not where his arms belonged. Rin knew what was wrong and jumped out of Sotas' arms.

"Sesshomaru-sama no. Sota is showing me how to play his video games. It is difficult." Rin explained.

Sesshomaru was still glaring at him. Rin scooped him up to keep him from getting his teeth in Sota.

"Rin why exactly is he growling at me?" Sota asked.

"To Sesshomaru-sama I am his daughter. As such I should not be that close to you unless we are to be married." she said.

"Whoa. Things are different now and well I have a girlfriend. So no worries." he said.

"Come on Sesshomaru-sama we will go to the kitchen." she said.

Rin just wanted to get him away from Sota. She knew that Sesshomaru loved her and this was just fatherly instincts. Super possessive, overprotective, instincts.

"Momma, Sesshomaru-sama growled at Sota." Rin tattled.

"Traitor." Sesshomaru thought.

"Why?" Kagome asked.

"Sota was showing me how to play his games..." she began.

"Say no more. I know he had to sit behind you to show you and Sesshomaru saw it." Kagome guessed.

"Yes." she said.

"Oh Sesse, Sota has a girlfriend. Now don't growl at him again." she said.

Sesshomaru gave her a glare and Kagome saw it.

"Don't you glare at me. I know what is going on with you. She is your little girl and you have to protect her from all of the male species." she said.

Sesshomaru nodded at her. Kagome in turned sighed.

"Men." she mumbled.

"Why is she mad? She understands why we acted that way yet she is mad." his beast said.

"I don't know." Sesshomaru answered.

Sesshomaru walked over and sat at Kagomes' feet, then whined. She tried to ignore him but he resorted to deviousness. He began the pitiful puppy whine and when she looked at him he had on the puppy dog pout to give her full effect.

Yes Sesshomaru of all demons was giving her the puppy dog pout. There was no doubt in her mind that he was the creator of the pout and she found it irresistable.

"Awww, that is just cute. " she said, her anger melting away.

"She thinks were cute." the beast said.

"I know that." he said.

She kneeled down and scratched his ears, then washed her hands to tend to dinner. Not long after, her mother returned with her grandfather. Dinner was ready and they ate, no-one told Higurashi-san of the incident with Sota and Sesshomaru. Soon it was time for bed.

"Sesshomaru-sama good night." Rin said.

He nodded at her from his "doggie" bed as she snuggled down into the blankets of the air mattress.

"Sweet dreams." she muttered before she nodded off.

Kagome came into the room, already ready for bed and climbed into her bed. She looked over at Sesshomaru and smiled, she then to was on her way to dreamland.

"Time for action." he said.

Sesshomaru left his bed and jumped on Kagomes'. He didn't like the dog bed, he much prefered to sleep near her and if so on her. He found his spot right next to her and snuggled closer. He really liked to be near her, you could say that he was beginning to go beyond liking her just not love yet. Or that was what he thought.

Kagome sighed and turned over away from him. Sesshomaru huffed and wished he had his human form back to hold her, he cursed his father in that moment of inconvenience. Then Kagome shifted again and moved right to his range. He made himself comfortable and tried to get some sleep. A few hours later it came.

(Inutaisho-Heaven)

The Inu-Lord watched silently down upon his eldest. He was pleased with his work. Sesshomaru had only been around the little priestess for a short time and his heart was already beginning to change. He was certain that his eldest was already in love with Kagome but needed to discover it for himself.

Now was the moment he had been waiting for to make his reappearance to Sesshomaru and make a first appearance to the little miko, Kagome. Sesshomaru could wait though, he really needed to try to explain somethings to Kagome.
He waited until Sesshomaru was asleep before he entered her dreams.

When he entered he came upon the same scene Sesshomaru had (Chapter 6). The Inutaisho could feel the longing she held for his son and decided to interrupt before it got any further.

"Kagome." he called.

Dream Kagome stopped her calling of Sesshomaru and turned to him. A confused look spread across her face.

"Do I know you?" she asked.

"Not exactly. I am Sesshomarus' father, miko." he said.

"Oh. What can I help you with?" she asked.

"Not me. It is what I can help you with." he said.

"Huh? What do I need help with?" she asked.

"Little miko you need help turning Sesshomaru back to "normal" and I know how. I am the one who did that to him to begin with." he explained.

"How could you? He is your son." she gasped.

"The pup needed to let down the barriers around his heart and let himself love. He loves you Kagome but he doesn't see it. You have to help him see it." he said.

"How? What does that have to do with him returning to himself?" she asked.

"He can't turn back until he admits that he loves you." he said.

"Oh yeah, and how praytell am I supposed to help him see that he loves me?" she snapped.

"Just keep doing what you are doing. Show him your love the way you already are and keep telling him. He needs to hear it more than anything. He has wounds that need healing and you are healing them; just to hear the words that you love him helps heal him. I thank you." he said.

"Your welcome. Umm thats' it? Thats' all I have to do is keep being myself?" she asked.

"Yes. That is all. He will come to you and soon miko, very soon. Just be patient." he said.

"Okay. Does Sesshomaru know why you did this to him?" she asked.

"Yes and no. He knows I did this to help him. But he doesn't know I have my own reasons. The reasons will have good aftereffects, so don't worry I am not being selfish." he said.

"You better not be. I guess that he just needed a little push." she said.

"He did and you are the right direction. It is almost time for you to wake. Remember tell him everyday." he said and was gone.

Minutes later Kagome awoke to find Sesshomaru sleeping by her side. She smiled and wrapped an arm around him, he stirred.

"I love you." she said.
