Summary: Kagome and Sesshomaru have been together for years, he told her he had something he needs to show her. It's not what she expected.
Feel free to read on AO3 or bellow the cut
Kagome looked over at the man driving. His claws tapped on the steering wheel. It was as if he was nervous, something Kagome knew he did not become. She had started dating her best friend's brother a bit over a year ago. She had been hesitant to start dating the full demon. She didn't have anything against demons, if she did she would not have a half demon as her best friend. But she had seen the way Sesshomaru treated InuYasha's mother. The way he looked down on humans in general. Had seen it for years.
The first time she had met the man was in InuYasha's senior year of high school. His nose had wrinkled as if he had smelled something bad then he had turned and left without a word. For years after that any time they were in the same room he would turn and walk away without a word. His nose wrinkles more often than not. Then he started to talk to her about her classes her second year of college. It had been at the college graduation party, every one had been drinking far more than they probably should have. And Kagome had found herself kissing the man, pressed against him and shivering as his body radiated heat into hers. Rather than push her away he had pulled her close. She had woken up alone the next day.
Kagome had expected to never see him again. Instead, after three days she had received flowers. Then jewelry. Kagome had sent the jewelry back. After the fourth day of that the man himself had shown up, red tinting his eyes. He had shoved all the gifts he had sent her into her arms, his fangs bared and Kagome had swallowed heavily. He had blinked gold back into his eyes slowly. Sesshomaru had demanded she accept his courting. Kagome had told him he would have to date her as a human woman before she would let him court her as a demon.
Somehow they had worked it out together. They had blended their lives together.
Sesshomaru had told Kagome he needed to show her something a few days after their one year anniversary. Kagome had smiled, been willing to go with him then and there but he said he needed time. Kagome had not realized 'time' meant nearly two months. She still had no idea what he needed to show him, asking InuYasha had made the hanyo shrug and claim that he wasn't the asshole whisperer so how would he know? So Kagome had waited patiently. She hadn't realized this would be the date that whatever it was Sesshomaru needed to show her would be shown until she noticed he started becoming…antsy for lack of a better word.
Kagome remained silent, letting her boyfriend decide when to break the silence. He pulled into an elementary school parking lot and parked his car. Kagome could see parents pulling in and busses lining up to get their children and she looked curiously over at Sesshomaru who looked at her with that mask she knew he used to hide any potentially overwhelming emotions. Watching her every move.
"Why are we here, Sess?" Kagome tipped her head curiously.
"I…" Sesshomaru sighed and looked at the school. Parents were lingering around and talking. It was clearly getting close to when they would release the children. "Come with me."
Kagome followed Sesshomaru, she reached for his hand and noticed that he was shaking slightly but his hand curled around her comfortingly. He did not look at her nor the parents who looked at them. They did not seem surprised to see Sesshomaru but their looks lingered on Kagome with clear surprise.
Kagome opened her mouth to question Sesshomaru again but the bell rang. There was a rush of children swirling around them rushing to their parents, calling out to friends.
"Father!" A small child with melted chocolate eyes and black hair pulled up in a partial ponytail came running up to Sesshomaru. She wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's legs and smiled up at him, showing a missing tooth. Sesshomaru reached down and lightly stroked her hair.
"Fa- Sesshomaru?" Kagome whispered, forcing her gaze from the girl who turned curious eyes to her. She could feel the child's aurora. She was a human child. Something that confused Kagome even more. She met cautious golden eyes.
"This is Rin." Sesshomaru said softly, his hand taking the child's hand in his own when she slid her hand around his fingers. She smiled at Kagome who smiled back. "She is my ward."
Kagome blinked back at Sesshomaru curiously. She frowned at him. "Does InuYasha know?"
"No." Sesshomaru started leading the woman he wanted as his mate, and his daughter, back to the car. "Father does. But he will not tell anyone without my permission."
Kagome sighed, she had been worried her friend had kept something so important from her. But that didn't change the fact that Sesshomaru had kept something from her. She glared at him. After he buckled the child into the back seat before he slid into the driver's seat. She noticed he wasn't tapping on his steering wheel now. He was relaxed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kagome hissed quietly so only the demon would hear her. The child was humming in the back seat.
"I had to be sure." Sesshomaru glanced at the back seat then back to Kagome. "Before I introduced you. I had to be sure that she would be safe."
Kagome's glare melted at his words. She couldn't be mad that he was protecting the child. She looked into the back seat to receive a smile and returned her own smile.
"I'm Kagome. It's nice to meet you, Rin."
The words seemed to be the opening the child needed. Words started spilling from her mouth, telling the adult about her day. Sesshomaru reached over and lightly touched Kagome's hand. Kagome turned her hand and curled around Sesshomaru's hand in return. Kagome had more questions about the child but they could wait. For now all that mattered was that his hand was warm in her hand and Rin's voice was happily chirping away.
