Sesshomaru had brought Rin to the village to take part in the upcoming spring festival. While there, she bumped into Shippo, who was also there to join in the festivities. After getting permission from Sesshomaru to go with shippo the two wandered around the festival area together. They visited many stalls and saw many things sending some of the money given to them on sweet treats. They eventually came across a woman selling love charms. Shippo and Rin each found one they thought their guardian would like. They didn't believe they were love charms but had fun buying them. The lady that owned the shop stopped them, saying, "After you give these to their owners on white day, you two must kiss each other. It can be on the cheek, but you must kiss or the charms won't work right."
Shippo and Rin thanked the lady and vowed to kiss each other on the cheek just to ensure nothing bad happen. They both reassured the lady they didn't care if the charm worked, they just knew its intended owner would cherish them. After paying the lady what was left of their spending money, the two happily hid their purchases. Now it was on to convince both Sesshomaru and Kagome to be in the village on white day so that they could kiss each other as the lady insisted it had to be done. They raced to Kagome. She'd be the easier of the two and perhaps if they were really lucky, Kagome would help them convince Sesshomaru. Shippo smirked as he thought if Kagome could help with Sesshomaru, he was sure InuYasha telling him the idea was stupid would be enough to sway the demon lord. He could only hope they were all within hearing range of each other.
It didn't take long for them to locate Kagome and shippo raced with Rin to her, asking, "Could we come to the white day festival too?" Kagome looked at her Kit, stunned, but as she thought she assumed he was having a great time. So, of course, being the age he was, he thought the next festival would be just as fun. However, the next one wasn't kid-friendly like this one was. Finally, she replied, "that is not a good idea Shippo, it's not really intended for children."
Shippo put on his best sad face, the one that always got him what he wanted. Finally, he said, "But Kagome, I already got you something I wished to celebrate my love for you." Kagome almost fainted until he continued, "I know we haven't known each other long, but I love you like I did my Mother. I hope you're not too mad at me."
It touched Kagome, sighing before saying, "I tell you what. We won't join in the real festival, but we will have our own near the festivities so that we may enjoy the music." Shippo jumped with joy for a moment until Rin said, "Could Kagome Sama help Rin ask her Sesshomaru Sama?"
Kagome moved closer to Rin and, after thinking about how to word it, she leaned in, saying, "Rin, your Sesshomaru Sama is a very private demon. He doesn't express himself in the open. It's too dangerous." Rin smiled brightly, replying, "That is why Rin asked for Kagome Sama's help. Maybe if you invited my Sesshomaru Sama to dinner so that Rin could have a play date with Shippo? I could give him the gift without Sesshomaru Sama seeming weak."
Kagome thought on it before asking, "Can I see what you got him?" Rin shook her head no before adding, "It's the same as Shippo's. I don't want to ruin your surprise." Kagome let out a frustrated sigh, going to her backpack and pulling out a small box. She returned to them saying, "Turn around and put them in this box I just wish to make sure they are safe."
Both turned around, putting their items in the box, knowing they could trust Kagome not to peek. She only wanted to ensure that what they purchased wasn't cursed or anything. Shippo didn't blame her, especially with Sesshomaru. There were many that would love to bring him down through his ward. They handed the box to Kagome hesitantly. Kagome took the box and felt something, but couldn't tell what it was without opening it. She frowned, saying, "You both will have to ask Kaede. I can't get a good read of it inside the box, and I don't want to spoil the surprise."
She handed them the box back, sending the two off to Kaede's hut. She could only hope she got to see what Shippo had bought for her. It didn't take long with Kaede before the two were out of her hut with smiling faces, all while Kaede shook her head. It thrilled the wise old Miko. They both seemed to suit the future owner. Kaede smiled. When they put them on, they would see the truth. It was about time the western lord had a mate and Kagome would suit the male well with a little training. It was about time Kagome stopped swooning over InuYasha, anyway. If it worked the way they intended the charms to, it would be a unique pairing she had ever seen in her lifetime. She doubted there would ever be such a pairing as a Miko and a Daiyokai again in history.
Shippo and Rin both excitedly waited for the day to arrive. It had surprised Rin herself at how easy it had been to get Sesshomaru to agree to the meeting in the village. She had expected him to deny her request, but here they were headed towards where they would meet Kagome and exchange gifts. For a while, there Rin thought Valentine's day would never come. It seemed to take forever to arrive and now that it was here, she couldn't wait for a second longer to give her gift. However, she had to wait until they were with Kagome. The kids had promised to give them at the same time. That was why Sesshomaru had agreed. Rin had explained since they were the same she didn't want to ruin Kagome's surprise should she see Sesshomaru's.
Finally, they had both adults together and sitting side by side. Each one gives their charm to their respective parent. Both opened their gift at the same time Sesshomaru had received a crescent moon that looked exactly like his marking. He thanked Rin and put it on. It had surprised Kagome when she opened hers as she found what looked like the Shikon jewel. She thanked Shippo and put hers on as well. The kids skipped off to the fire and once they were sure neither adult was paying attention to them. They gave each other a quick peck on the cheek to fulfill their part of the bargain. Once they kissed and returned, they found both Sesshomaru and Kagome kissing.
