Well, that explains my own questions. I thought that Sesshoumaru might not get to be with Kagome and InuYasha. I think it is very nice to see them together in this manner. I am sure others might not agree, but hey, I have always been very open-minded...lol

Author's Response: It was part of the agreement, even if Sesshomaru had never really intended to act on it. Things are just a bit more intense than he ever expected, though. And since Kagome accepted his protection and InuYasha agreed to it, they won't fight him on it. Might as well enjoy it!
