Loving you by XtopangelX

Chapter One

XtopangelX: This is a little something for Mother's day.

Wide bright green eyes snapped open at the light sound of sobbing. Shippo awoke to see his surrogate mother slightly sobbing, holding her yellow bag. He sees her slowly getting up and heading towards the well, 'She's not leaving is she?' he thought. He watches her disappear in the forest by the Edo village, before looking around the hut. His eyes widened when he noticed the absence of a certain dog hanyou. Sighing, he turned towards the opened door and looked towards the forest again. Taking a deep breath, the little fox demon got up and started to retrace the same path his dear mother took.

Smelling her out by the God Tree, he saw her at the feet of said tree, hugging her knees to her herself, one hand clenching tightly one of the straps of her trusted yellow bags. His bright eyes dulled at the sad sight. His little heart clenched at the sight of such a wonderful person being destroyed before his own eyes.

Suddenly, his mind thought of something. 'Didn't Mama say that tomorrow was?' He smiled brightly and immediately ran off deeper in the forest. Running without stopping until he got to a small clearing with the most beautiful flowers in the vicinity, he set out to pick the best ones. Unfortunately for him, the flowers were also taller than the little fox, so he didn't see the little girl that was running towards him. He only noticed her when she bumped into him, or when he bumped into her. Looking up from his seating place, he saw that it was Rin, the ward of the Lord Sesshomaru, half-brother to the bastard behind Kagome's pain. There is no other word to describe Inuyasha, he was a bastard, and though Kagome would probably be disappointed in him for using such crude words, there really was no other word.

'Wait, if Rin is here, wouldn't that mean?' Looking beside him, he saw a pair of black boots and slowly looking up, he was met with a white hakama, and white haori competed with armour. 'Uh Oh!' "Sesshomaru-sama" He said, slightly stuttering.

Sesshomaru looked down upon the small fox demon that followed his despised half-brother around, "Hn what are you doing here fox?"

"I huh..."

"I do not have all night"

"Huh..."

"Where is your group fox?"

"At the village..."

"What are you doing so near my borders then?"

Wondering if he should tell him what he was doing, Shippo was only hesitating for the sake of his mother. This demon has long ago stopped attacking them for his father's sword, but that did not mean he would not attack them.

"I will not attack you" Sesshomaru said, seeing the hesitation in him, don't get him wrong, he really did not care nor did he get a soft heart but Rin has grown fond of him and the miko.

"I'm picking flowers for Mama"

"At night?"

"Inuyasha hurt Mama again, and she's crying by the God Tree and Mama said that-"

Small hands immediately went to cover its similarly small mouth. "Huh"

"What did the miko say?" Sesshomaru was curious, what did his half-brother do again to his alpha female and what did said female do? He thought his half-brother foolish to always leave his powerful, yes he thought the living miko powerful, and beautiful, yes, he also got a soft spot for said miko, for a dead and stinking pretend-miko.

"Mama... Mama said that tomorrow was-"

Shippo spent the time telling the enemy of his plan to cheer up his Mama and unknowingly cooked a plan for the dog demon to seduce her as well. The ward of the demon said she wanted in the plan, considering Kagome as a special person after having saved her quite some times already. At a certain time, he went back to his hut and lay back down on his cot. Just in time to sense his Mama come back. 'Guess she decided to stay after all...' Shippo slightly smiled, 'She'll love tomorrow'

At the sunrise, Inuyasha finally made his way back to the hut, a big smile on his face, smile that disappeared as soon as he saw his companions already up and glaring at him. He ignored them and looked around, "where's the wench?"

He ignored the intensity of the glares as Sango answered him "She went to take water to make breakfast."

At that time, Kagome came back in with a smile on her face, smile that also disappeared when she spotted the half-demon. She sat down and started to cook the ramen for everyone. After they finished breakfast, Inuyasha spotted some lights wafting through the forest, and told them that they would be staying for the day before bounded off to the forest. Kagome's eyes dulled even more and she told the group that she wanted to take a walk.

Shippo sat there looking after her, sad that she was sad but happy because he'll be the one to make her happy a little bit later. His smile though had to go when he heard the conversation between his two other companions.

"He just got back and he's gone again" he heard Sango say.

Spotting his partners in crime for the day for a second, he said "I'm going after her!" before leaving himself. The two that were left behind wondered what it was with them leaving today.

"Sesshomaru-sama, Rin!" Shippo greeted when he got to them, he saw a bouquet of yesterday's flowers in the little girl's hand and they all went to where Kagome would be, at the well.

"Mama!" Shippo said, after telling Rin to stay in the bushes for now. She looked around and was surprised to spot her adopted son coming out of the bushes, leaves stuck into his hair. She smiled at the view and opened her arms to her son. "Shippo, what are you doing here alone? It's dangerous you know?" she said, picking leaves out of his hair.

"But Mama does it too?!"

"Yes, but how many times did Mama got into danger?"

"Yeah, well Mama, next time, we'll together so I'll protect you okay?" Shippo said then put a kiss on her cheek; she laughed and kissed him too. "Mama?"

"Yes Shippo?"

"You said that today was Mama's day right?"

"Yes Shippo, today is Mother's day, why?" Kagome said, a sad light in her eyes, she wouldn't get to spend it with her mother this year.

"Well, Rin come out!"

"Rin?" Kagome asked confused.

The bushes moved a little bit when Rin came out, leaves stuck into her tangled hair as well, with a bouquet of beautiful flowers in her hand. Kagome did not recognize the flowers, probably extinct in the later years but accepted them when they were handed to her. Understanding now, she leaned down and showered both children with kisses, and tickles. Suddenly, she stood up looking around. Looking up, she saw Sesshomaru in the tree, sitting where Inuyasha usually sits when he was waiting for her. That thought slightly sobered her up from her happiness but what astonished her was that Sesshomaru was holding a flower in his hand. A rose to be exact, he let it fall, and somehow let it fall exactly into her opened hand, her other was occupied by her bouquet.

"Lord Sesshomaru?"

He motioned to the children to leave, Rin leaving instantly, but Shippo hesitated, that was not in the plan, but Rin tugged him away.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" She repeated her question. He looked at her, and suddenly swept down on her, she thought about screaming but did not have the time when he captured her mouth into a passionate kiss, when he pulled away, he told her "the fox said happy mother's day." She nodded, still dazed, he smirked, and he whispered lowly, in a tone that made her shiver, by her ear, "And I say, I love you."

Her head snapped up and her eyes widened. She looked into his eyes and did not see deception. She smiled and pulled his head down for another kiss.

He could see in her eyes that she did not love him, the wound in her heart was still too fresh but she was willing to try, and that was all that he needed. Shippo watched from the bushes, and thought 'Happy Mother's day indeed' He smirked, 'I'm glad that Sesshomaru was where I thought he was last night'

Five minutes later, they were still kissing when Inuyasha barged in with Sango and Miroku, plus Kirara, in toe. They stopped kissing to look up. Sesshomaru looked down to his precious treasure and she shrugged, he smirked and swept down to kiss her again.

They both ignored the yells of the incoherent hanyou, the bewildered look on the Taijiya, and the lecherous smile one the monk's face. Overall, they missed the twin mischievous look on their children's faces.
