Bound To Love By Blood

They had been traveling once again all day. Kagome didn't notice but she had been humming most of the day, no one seemed to mind though, in fact they all enjoyed it. They were ready to set up camp, the sun was starting to set and like most nights  Kikyo went on her own to think

. "Well now are you ready for a bath?" Kagome spoke,

The baby looked up at her with bright eyes seemed he liked the idea. "Ok then" She said with a smile.

Inuyasha just huffed and watched Kagome walk away. They tried to camp near a spring when ever they could.

Kagome had long since stopped bathing naked it was not working for her. She undressed laying the baby on the ground, he watched as she did. She then undressed him, taking note of his 'again' wet diaper. Kagome pulled a long white sheer light robe over her and grabbed the baby. The robe remained untied. Kagome walked slowly in the water thankfully it was warm. The baby hung onto her, his legs kicking lightly as they met water. "There now" She said reassuring him that she would not drop him.

Inuyasha and Miroku were starting a fire and preparing something to eat when they both stop. They felt it come close, oh how Inuyasha loathed this, but he didn't reach for his sword for he knew what his brother was here for.

"Where is the miko and my son?" He asked as he came into view.

"Bathing" Inuyasha snapped.

"I'm sure she will not be long" Miroku added. Sesshomaru said nothing and looked up to the sky, it was getting dark and the stars were showing.

Kagome bounced him up in down in the water, she noticed that once he was not afraid he liked the water, moving his hands all around it. Kagome held him up high and dunked herself under water to get her hair wet. When she came up the baby was giving her a odd look. Kagome giggled.

"I shall retrieve my son" Sesshomaru stated as he began to walk to the spring.

"Oh no you don't Sesshomaru-

Miroku grabbed Inuyahsa's arm, Sesshomaru was not paying him any mind. "What you stop me for?"

"Come now Inuyasha your brother peeping on Kagome, not likely, not that she is not a site to behold-

"Monk" Both Sango and Inuyahsa warned.

"You look like your father when you tilt you head and raise that eyebrow" Kagome said to him. Her smile soften, it was strange calling Sesshomarua father, more strange that she knew his looks or was even talking of him. "You need a name" She said holding him close "I think Sesshoromaru fits you"

"So you name my son" Kagome gasp and turned around fast, closing her robe around the baby and herself. Sesshomaru was standing feet from her and looked down at the two. His son met his eyes with a hard look. "Sesshomaru" Kagome whispered,

He was looking at his son "The name shall stay"

Kagome then looked down, 'so, he likes the name'

Kagome then looked back up at him "Do you want to hold him?"

It was odd, she could not see it in her head, him holding his own son. "No miko, I need not"

Sesshomaru watched as his son wiped his face on Kagome and then yawn, he was tired. "He is tired"

Kagome looked down and noticed him falling asleep "Sesshomaru"

"What miko"

"Hold him"

Their eyes met, Kagome came forward and held out his son, her robe parting slightly, not enough to show anything off but enough to tease. "I need not"

"No, but I need you to"

He waited a moment before taking his son in him arms *yes he has both*

Kagome got out of the water, her white robe sticking to her, she turned her back to him, though it did no good, he could still see her almost naked body, her outline,  "Miko"

"Hu?"

"It is not wise to wash as you do"

Kagome was now behind a rock changing "What do you mean?"

She came back out dressed in sleep pants and black tank top. She walked up to him and held out her arms. Sesshomaru then placed his son back into her arms. She began to change him as his father watched. "Never mind miko, it is late return to your group"

"Your leaving?"

He turned and began to walk away "Yes miko" He stopped "Let is name be known" and with that he was gone.
