In some fanfictions, there could be a romantic undertone that develops as Kagome grows older. However, at first, it's mainly about Sesshomaru becoming a sort of guardian. He might teach Kagome how to defend herself as she gets older. And there could be a plot where Kagome's presence starts to change the way Sesshomaru views the world around him, making him more sympathetic towards humans in general.
A common plot is the development of an unlikely bond. Sesshomaru, who is usually cold - hearted, gradually warms up to baby Kagome. Another plot point could be Sesshomaru protecting Kagome from various threats, like other demons or even humans who might see her as an oddity. For example, he might have to fight off a group of demons who sense her spiritual power even as a baby.
Often, there's a theme of growth and discovery. As Kagome grows up under Sesshomaru's care, she starts to learn about the demon world, and Sesshomaru in turn learns about the human qualities that Kagome has. It might also involve Sesshomaru trying to figure out the mystery of Kagome's appearance in his world as a baby. Maybe he has to consult with some wise old demons or use his own powers to find out more.
