That means that you will have to read my stories and decide which one you like more. Which one gets the most reviews gets finished first. By the way, this story will be OOC so deal lol.
Summery: The Inu Gang are on the hunt for jewel shards but along the way they meet someone new, they take them into the group. Why is Sesshoumaru there and what does he want?
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or those associated with him. I do however own the OC in this story.
“Why do you stupid humans have to have stupid weaknesses? Fine we will stop here for the night but I want my Ramen, now!”
“Inuyasha that is the rudest thing you have ever said. Sit boy!” Kagome said indignantly.
Kagome huffed and put down her huge yellow backpack. She rummaged around in it before producing the choice food of Inuyasha. The group set up their camp and sat down for a few minutes chatting away before they realized that they needed firewood.
“I will go get some guys. Don’t worry I will take my bow and arrows.”
Kagome stood and grabbed her bow and arrows and set off into the thickly wooded area. It wasn’t long before she heard a scream and Inuyasha came running, yelling if Kagome was okay. She nodded and headed towards where the scream came from. As Inuyasha and Kagome neared the clearing they saw a demoness giving birth to her pup. That is not what the scream was about; the scream was about the snake demon that was trying to devour the mother. Without thinking Kagome strung her bow and shot a sacred arrow at the snake that was tearing through the poor demoness. The demoness looked shocked, and looked around searching for her savior. When she saw that her savior was a Miko she panicked. She tried to get up and protect herself and her yet unborn pup and failed miserably. Kagome ran to the unprotected demoness.
“Please don’t get up; you could hurt yourself further and that of your child. I will help you, please don’t be frightened.”
“Thank you Miko-sama.” She said lying upon the ground.
Kagome kneeled before the demoness and tried helping her with the birth of her child. That is when she noticed that the demoness was bleeding way too much for her likes. The demoness knew that she was going to die and it saddened her.
“Please Miko-sama, take my pup and raise her for me. Please do not leave her alone in this world. I am not long to die, I will not live this encounter and I thank you deeply for your help. Please tell me your name before it is too late.”
“I am Kagome.” She said with tears in her eyes. “I will be honored to raise your baby. Please tell me your name in return.”
“Kagome, that child that is going to be born will not be a baby, it will be a pup.”
“My name is Katai. Please name the pup Sayuri.” With one last push the pup came screaming into this world.
“Oh my Kami, Inuyasha what are we going to do? How are we going to feed this little girl?” Kagome said as she wrapped the small bundle in the fire rat haori Inuyasha threw at her the moment it was born.
“If it was up to me, I would leave it but I know how you are… we will figure something out. In the meantime, we need to leave, the blood with attract attention.”
“Inuyasha, I will go back to camp but please will you bury her? Please Inuyasha I can’t stand the thought of something eating her.”
“Fine, I will be back to camp as soon as I can. Ask Sango when you get back how we will feed that thing.” Inuyasha sighed.
“That thing has a name and it is Sayuri.” Kagome said as she carried her precious bundle towards the camp.
Kagome made her way safely back to the camp. As she entered the camp the small pup gave a mew of hunger. Sango and Miroku both looked up from the fire they had just started, surprise was evident on both of their faces. Kagome made a face for them to be quiet while she sat down with the little pup and cuddled it. Shippou on the other hand came scampering up to her and peeked at what she had in her arms.
“Kagome has a pup!” Shippou screeched.
“Be quiet Shippou, Sayuri is hungry and I don’t know how in the hell I am going to feed her. Do you guys have any ideas? I will explain later but now I need answers.”
“Well, if the mother can not feed they usually get a wet nurse but there isn’t one here so let me think.” Sango said seriously.
“I have heard in some cases when the mother dies in childbirth and no one is around to feed the pup that a sympathetic demon will actually start to lactate.” Miroku piped up.
“How would you know that, houshi?”
“I am a monk; I know many things my dear Sango.”
“That actually makes sense but how would I do that? This baby needs to feed and now. I don’t think it will happen in a few minutes do you?” Kagome asked.
“Actually, I can help there Kagome.” Sango said smiling and going to Kagome and sat beside her. “Give me the pup while you do what you need to.”
“I don’t know what I need to do though.” She said handing Sayuri to Sango.
“I will tell you what you need to do. What you need to do is meditate and then talk to the jewel around your neck. I am sure you have enough there to actually speak to it.”
“Talk to the Shikon no Tama?”
“Yes, that is the only thing I can think of.”
“I will give it a shot. She needs to be fed.” Kagome said sadly as she concentrated on meditation.
Kagome sat there for what seemed like hours before she finally relaxed and started to meditate. While in her meditative state she had finally heard the voice of the Jewel.
I know what ails you child. I know of a way to help the child but you must mean it with your heart. You will not be making a wish but I am able to help you along. If you had enough time you would be able to do so without my help. You have the purest heart and soul I have ever known, even my own and because of this I am willing to help you in your time of need. Just promise me that you will continue to gather jewel shards and complete me. I no longer wish to dwell in the land of humans.
I swear it. I will complete you and you shall be freed from your prison.
So be it, think carefully Kagome and concentrate on the need to feed that small pup. You will soon lactate and you will be able to feed the girl.
Kagome concentrated on what she was supposed to and was surprised to find the front of her shirt wet with milk. Kagome smiled at Sango and she smiled back, handing Sayuri to the now ready Kagome. Kagome excused herself and said she wouldn’t be far away. She walked a little ways into the forest, enough that she could still see the firelight and pulled up her school uniform shirt, undone her bra and brought the ready mouth of Sayuri to her breast. Kagome smiled as she began to take her feel and contemplated on how odd it felt. Kagome’s heart warmed at the realization that this child was getting nourishment from her. Just then the small girl nipped her with one of her small pointed fangs. Kagome winced but did not pull away from the suckling bundle.
Kagome started to relax as she felt Sayuri begin to slow down and finally fall asleep. Kagome fixed herself carefully holding the baby and headed towards camp. When she got there she noticed that Inuyasha was back and Sango and Miroku were trying to question him.
“I will tell them Inuyasha no problem. Here, hold her for me.” She handed Inuyasha the bundle and he looked perplex. He didn’t know what to do with it. (Lol)
“Right, this is how it went: I went to get some firewood when I heard a scream, Inuyasha came running and we headed towards the sound. When we got there we saw a demoness ready to give birth but the sad thing was she was being attacked by a snake youkai. I helped her give birth but she knew she wouldn’t make it, she actually begged me to take her child and raise her, she told me to name her Sayuri, the end.” Kagome said taking Sayuri back from Inuyasha.
“Wow, Kagome do you think that is wise?”
“Sango, have a look at this beautiful baby and tell me you could leave her in the wilderness for animals to eat.”
Sango did just that, she walked to Kagome and peered in at the little thing. She was beautiful; she was a puppy, not in human form at all. Fluffy black hair covered the tiny body, she could see tints of blue here and there and as the child looked at her she noticed she had the most beautiful unusual eye color. They were such a light shade of blue they looked white.
“Aw, I know what you mean. Isn’t she adorable? (The whole time Sango held her she didn’t look at her.)
“I agree Sango; she is the most beautiful pup I have ever seen. I wonder what kind of Youkai she is.”
“Hey what about me, am I not cute anymore?” Shippou whined.
“Yes, you are still cute Shippou. Wouldn’t like to have somebody to play with? I have heard that youkai tend to grow different then humans.”
”That’s right they do.” Shippou said excitedly.
“Well I think we all need to get some rest.”
“What about my Ramen?”
“Oh I am so sorry Inuyasha. Sango hold Sayuri for me and I will make everyone some Ramen.”
Kagome got up and fixed the Ramen as fast as she could. Sayuri was sound asleep the whole time, snoozing gently in Sango’s protective embrace. Kagome handed Inuyasha his first and then Miroku. She took Sayuri from Sango and handed her bowl to her. Shippou helped himself to some Ramen and sat down by Kagome. Inuyasha was the first one done so Kagome handed Sayuri to him and got herself some food. She took glances at Inuyasha and giggled at his face. He looked both scared and happy at the same time. Kagome finished up and took her back from Inuyasha who by the way was reluctant to hand her back. Kagome smiled at him and patted his head. He huffed and jumped up into a tree to sleep. Kagome settled into her sleeping bad and held the child carefully, least she wake. Everyone finally settled down for the night and slept peacefully.
Sesshoumaru stood from his sitting position at his desk and started to pace the room. He didn’t do it very often but when he did you knew there was something of major importance going on.
‘This has not happened since I was a pup. I thought the last of them died out almost a century ago. Where have they been hiding and why would they not honor the pact that was made so long ago? I must go and find them immediately before something goes wrong.’ Sesshoumaru stopped pacing and headed for the door.
“Jaken, get in here now.” Sesshoumaru called.
“Aye, milord, what can this lowly servant do for you this day?” Jaken said bowing low to his lord and master.
“You will watch over Rin, I will be away. If anything should happen to her, you forfeit your life.” Sesshoumaru said walking off.
Sesshoumaru walked confidently to the front of the palace and was approached by his general in arms, his cousin; Lin. Lin asked Sesshoumaru if he had felt it too and all Sesshoumaru did was nod before leaving the palace. When he reached the outer walls of the courtyard, he turned into his ball of light (anyone know what that thing is called?) and flew off in the direction of the disturbance.
He had been floating for a few hours now and still no trace of what he was looking for. He touched down on the ground gracefully and decided to search manually for it. He held his head high and sniffed delicately in the air. Nothing, not a damn thing could be smelt. On he walked in search for the only demon left alive that he was honor bound to protect.
“Right, let’s go and find some jewel shards and Kagome if we find some you, Shippou and the brat need to stay out of the way.”
“I know Inuyasha I would never put my children in harms way.” Kagome said forcefully.
‘Children, did she just say children?’ Everyone thought at once, including Kagome.
They continued to walk the dirt path and before long, they did meet up with a demon wanting the jewel shards. Kagome took Shippou and Sayuri and hid behind a tree. She felt a bit guilty as she watched the gang defeat the demon with no problem. Kagome walked to the group and took out the shard from the beasts head, purifying it instantly.
They had been walking the whole day and everyone was tired. The surprising news is Sayuri had started growling and yipping. Kagome looked to Inuyasha and asked him if he understood what she was saying. He nodded slowly and watched as everyone looked at him with a ‘well are you going to tell us or not’ look.
“She said that you’re holding her too tight and that she would like to try and walk.”
“She said all that?”
“Yeah, basically, she said a few other things that I don’t want to mention.”
“Come no Inuyasha, no one else can understand her. What did she say?” Kagome asked hopefully.
“She said that your milk is good.” He said with a blush.
Kagome blushed at that thought and did as suggested. She carefully put the pup down on the ground and watched as she teetered a bit before finally starting to walk slowly. Kagome smiled as she watched to young pup slowly gain speed and finally trip over her feet, she yipped and got up again to make her way to Kagome. Sayuri yipped, growled and then barked. They looked at Inuyasha who sighed.
“She said that it didn’t hurt much and that she is okay. She also said that she felt something.” Inuyasha stopped before finishing that sentenced and growled himself. “Sesshoumaru is coming, Kagome hide… now.”
“That will not be necessary.” Sesshoumaru replied coldly. “You are in my lands, with a newborn pup that doesn’t belong to you. Who did you take it off of?”
“For your information you arrogant ass, we didn’t take her from anyone. She was given to us by her mother. She asked us to take care of her, it was her dying wish.” Inuyasha spouted.
Sesshoumaru could not detect any lie from the hanyou. He sniffed and sniffed. His eyes widened slightly and moved with so much speed no one saw where he went before it was too late. He stood majestically in front of Kagome, looking down at the pup with curiosity.
‘Is this what I have been searching for?’ He thought.
“Give the pup to me, onna.”
“No, you can’t have her. She is mine and you will not take this child from me.” Kagome said protecting the pup.
“Onna, you will get the pup back. Give her to me.”
Kagome did so reluctantly. She handed the small pup to Sesshoumaru and he stood holding Sayuri by the scruff of the neck and smelled her. His eyes widened and he nodded. Before too long, small yips, growls, barks and whines where heard from both Sesshoumaru and Sayuri.
Sesshoumaru: Is it true that your birth mother died?
Sayuri: Yes: Sniff:
Sesshoumaru: I see and how exactly are they feeding you. According to how you smell you are only but a day old.
Sayuri: Nice lady feeds me and she smells nice.
Sesshoumaru: The nice lady feeds you how?
Sayuri: She feeds me at her breast like Mother would.
At that Sesshoumaru looked shocked. Kagome had produced milk for this pup to feed upon her? She had produced milk from her own body to feed a pup that was not hers? Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome and she folded her arms over her now more then ample chest.
Sesshoumaru: Do you know what species you are?
Sayuri: Hai, I am a Midnight InuYoukai. My mother’s memories tell me I am the last.
A/N: by the way, she can talk to well because it in the language inherent to her. She knows it instinctively and all that jazz. When she was in her mother’s womb, they shared memories.
Sesshoumaru: You are correct little one. My family was sworn centuries ago to protect your kind. You have slowly begun to fade but as it is, I am sworn now to protect you with my life. Do you think you are safe with this group until you come of age to learn the things to survive?
Sayuri: Hai, nice lady is lovely. Hanyou smells bad though.
Inuyasha: Hey! I heard that you little…
Sesshoumaru: Language, Inuyasha. This little pup will not learn your habits.
Sayuri: Can I go back to nice lady now? I am hungry.
Sesshoumaru: I will let you go back to her but first you must memorize my scent. You will need to know who I am when you are of age.
Sayuri then licked Sesshoumaru’s nose. Sesshoumaru then licked Sayuri on her cheek. He handed the pup to Kagome and stood there for a moment before speaking.
“Miko…”
“My name is Kagome… Ka-Go-Me!”
“Kagome then, that pup you hold is a very rare breed. You are to take the best of care of her or else I will kill you myself.” At that Sayuri barked. “I will explain a few things to you, not because I want to but because it needs to be done. First, she is a Midnight InuYoukai and the last of her kind. My family has sworn to protect her kind centuries ago. I will therefore be checking on her from time to time. Second, protect her with your life. Third, if you need to somehow contact me then close your eyes touch this and say my name.” He said handing her a small silver pendant in the shape of a crescent moon.” Fourth, she will be coming to my castle to train when she comes of age, she has already agreed so there is no arguing. She seems to like you well enough.” Sesshoumaru said at last.
“Thank you for telling me what I needed to know.”
Sesshoumaru nodded. “Before you ask me Inuyasha I knew she was born because the allegiance our family made with their kind. I know when a Midnight InuYoukai is brought into this world.” Sesshoumaru stated and turned to walk away. Before he could get too far away Kagome stopped him with a question.
“When will she become of age, Lord Sesshoumaru?”
“She will come of age in 18-20 human years.” With that he walked off.
Sayuri yipped; Kagome didn’t need to ask Inuyasha was she meant because she was nipping at the front of Kagome’s shirt. Kagome took the small bundle into the forest to feed her.
“She is with Shippou-kun.” Sakura said still playing with the flower in her hand.
In the five years since they had taken the responsibility of Sayuri they defeated Naraku, Sango and Miroku got married and now have a son they named Kohaku, Inuyasha and Kagome mated and have two children, a daughter and a one year old son they named Toga. Things were great and they were all happy. Shippou was in the process of courting a young kitsune hanyou. Sesshoumaru had done as he had promised and had visited every month until Sayuri had turned two and hasn’t visited since.
“Thank you, sweetheart. Have you seen your father?”
“He is with Uncle Miroku and Aunt Sango.” She said absently.
Kagome made her way towards Sango and Miroku’s hut. They lived right next to each other so it wasn’t a long walk. Sakura was playing right in between both huts. She walked slowly with little Toga balanced on her hip. She pushed the flap back and walked through.
“Sango? Miroku? Inuyasha? Are you guys here or what?”
“Yeah, back here. Sango is pregnant again.” Inuyasha said with amusement.
“MOMMY! DADDY! There is someone out here to see you!” Sakura yelled loudly.
They all came running out of the hut and stood in shock at what they saw. Sesshoumaru stood right in front of the hut holding none other then Sayuri. He put the small InuYoukai down and nodded to them. It seemed to them that he even handled her gently.
“I said I would check things out. She seems to be growing nicely.” Sesshoumaru stated indifferently. He looked at the small demon and studied her.
Her hair was midnight black with a tint of blue. She had navy blue stripes as his were magenta. She had a light eye blue lining to her eyelid to where his was red. Small pointed ears peeked out of her long hair and claws that have not yet known blood grew from her delicate hands. He bent down to her level and looked closely.
“How are you fairing Sayuri?”
“I am fine, thank you…”
“Sesshoumaru, I am Sesshoumaru.”
“Sesshoumaru, I know you don’t I? I have seen you before this day?”
“Yes young one you have.”
Sayuri nodded and took off running towards her friends, Kohaku, Sakura and Shippou. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru like he had grown a second head. He was being so nice to Sayuri. She couldn’t help but wonder what his agenda was with the small girl.
“Sesshoumaru-sama, I must ask, Why are you so different around Sayuri?”
“That, woman, is none of your concern.”
“Sesshoumaru-sama, I see Sayuri as my child so of course is concerns me. I do love her dearly and would do anything for her.
“Fine, there is said to be a prophecy about the Midnight InuYoukai. It is said that the last of their kind will defeat the greatest evil to walk this earth. This evil will be 100 times worse then Naraku could even dream about. It is said that in the year of the InuYoukai’s 21st summer is when this creature will first show itself. I plan on her training to be well completed by that time. Should any harm fall to that little demon then the world is lost.”
They looked at him in shock. If Sesshoumaru couldn’t defeat this new evil then things were really bad. All was lost, if Sayuri was hurt or… died.
“Thank you, Sesshoumaru-sama. It worries me greatly that something so monstrous will be coming. Is there anything we could do to prepare for this… evil?” Sango asked shyly.
“No there is nothing you can do unless you are willing to leave your family behind and possibly die in the fight that is to come. We have plenty of time to plan but it is best to be warned.”
“Thank you.”
Sesshoumaru nodded to them and disappeared on his cloud but not before watching Sayuri play with her friends.
‘One day I will have to teach that pup what it means to be youkai. I will have to teach her how to use her abilities and explain all she needs to know to survive.’ Sesshoumaru thought with a sigh.
Later that night Sayuri was talking with Kagome.
“Kagome-mama, is Sesshoumaru my daddy?”
“No baby, he isn’t, though he will teach you many things when the time comes.”
“That means I will have to leave here and live with him doesn’t it?”
“Yes, but we will still be able to see each other.”
“Good, Kagome-mama, I like him, he was nice to me today.”
Kagome paled at that thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what would happen when Sayuri became of age and had fallen for the ice prince himself. She silently told herself that in the morning she would set the girl straight. Sayuri needed to be prepared for what was to come in her life and Kagome didn’t have a clue as to how she would help Sayuri.

Chapter One: The Discovery
“Inuyasha we need to rest and now!”“Why do you stupid humans have to have stupid weaknesses? Fine we will stop here for the night but I want my Ramen, now!”
“Inuyasha that is the rudest thing you have ever said. Sit boy!” Kagome said indignantly.
Kagome huffed and put down her huge yellow backpack. She rummaged around in it before producing the choice food of Inuyasha. The group set up their camp and sat down for a few minutes chatting away before they realized that they needed firewood.

“Please Miko-sama, take my pup and raise her for me. Please do not leave her alone in this world. I am not long to die, I will not live this encounter and I thank you deeply for your help. Please tell me your name before it is too late.”
“I am Kagome.” She said with tears in her eyes. “I will be honored to raise your baby. Please tell me your name in return.”

“Yes, you are still cute Shippou. Wouldn’t like to have somebody to play with? I have heard that youkai tend to grow different then humans.”
”That’s right they do.” Shippou said excitedly.
“Well I think we all need to get some rest.”
“What about my Ramen?”
“Oh I am so sorry Inuyasha. Sango hold Sayuri for me and I will make everyone some Ramen.”
Kagome got up and fixed the Ramen as fast as she could. Sayuri was sound asleep the whole time, snoozing gently in Sango’s protective embrace. Kagome handed Inuyasha his first and then Miroku. She took Sayuri from Sango and handed her bowl to her. Shippou helped himself to some Ramen and sat down by Kagome. Inuyasha was the first one done so Kagome handed Sayuri to him and got herself some food. She took glances at Inuyasha and giggled at his face. He looked both scared and happy at the same time. Kagome finished up and took her back from Inuyasha who by the way was reluctant to hand her back. Kagome smiled at him and patted his head. He huffed and jumped up into a tree to sleep. Kagome settled into her sleeping bad and held the child carefully, least she wake. Everyone finally settled down for the night and slept peacefully.
With Sesshoumaru
‘Hn, there seems to be a disturbance in my lands.’ Sesshoumaru thought suddenly. He closed his eyes to try and decipher what was going on and that is when he felt it. There was a slight tug at his very soul. He then knew exactly what had happened.Sesshoumaru stood from his sitting position at his desk and started to pace the room. He didn’t do it very often but when he did you knew there was something of major importance going on.
‘This has not happened since I was a pup. I thought the last of them died out almost a century ago. Where have they been hiding and why would they not honor the pact that was made so long ago? I must go and find them immediately before something goes wrong.’ Sesshoumaru stopped pacing and headed for the door.
“Jaken, get in here now.” Sesshoumaru called.
“Aye, milord, what can this lowly servant do for you this day?” Jaken said bowing low to his lord and master.
“You will watch over Rin, I will be away. If anything should happen to her, you forfeit your life.” Sesshoumaru said walking off.
Sesshoumaru walked confidently to the front of the palace and was approached by his general in arms, his cousin; Lin. Lin asked Sesshoumaru if he had felt it too and all Sesshoumaru did was nod before leaving the palace. When he reached the outer walls of the courtyard, he turned into his ball of light (anyone know what that thing is called?) and flew off in the direction of the disturbance.
He had been floating for a few hours now and still no trace of what he was looking for. He touched down on the ground gracefully and decided to search manually for it. He held his head high and sniffed delicately in the air. Nothing, not a damn thing could be smelt. On he walked in search for the only demon left alive that he was honor bound to protect.
The next morning
Waaaaaa! Waaaaaa!
Sayuri woke the group with a powerful cry. Kagome carefully got up with her in her arms and headed off into the woods to feed her. As Kagome left Inuyasha turned to the group and asked what they thought of the whole pup thing. They agreed that it would be best to keep the child with them at least until it was old enough to wean. She should be ready for that in a few months. Sango on the other hand said that she would like to keep her in the group until Sayuri wanted to leave on her own. Inuyasha sat in thought and remembered what it was like for him as a child. He wasn’t a full blooded youkai but still he knew what it was like to be alone. He agreed with Sango and noticed Kagome coming back. They all helped that morning to prepare breakfast and then clean up.Waaaaaa! Waaaaaa!
“Right, let’s go and find some jewel shards and Kagome if we find some you, Shippou and the brat need to stay out of the way.”
“I know Inuyasha I would never put my children in harms way.” Kagome said forcefully.
‘Children, did she just say children?’ Everyone thought at once, including Kagome.
They continued to walk the dirt path and before long, they did meet up with a demon wanting the jewel shards. Kagome took Shippou and Sayuri and hid behind a tree. She felt a bit guilty as she watched the gang defeat the demon with no problem. Kagome walked to the group and took out the shard from the beasts head, purifying it instantly.
They had been walking the whole day and everyone was tired. The surprising news is Sayuri had started growling and yipping. Kagome looked to Inuyasha and asked him if he understood what she was saying. He nodded slowly and watched as everyone looked at him with a ‘well are you going to tell us or not’ look.
“She said that you’re holding her too tight and that she would like to try and walk.”
“She said all that?”
“Yeah, basically, she said a few other things that I don’t want to mention.”
“Come no Inuyasha, no one else can understand her. What did she say?” Kagome asked hopefully.
“She said that your milk is good.” He said with a blush.
Kagome blushed at that thought and did as suggested. She carefully put the pup down on the ground and watched as she teetered a bit before finally starting to walk slowly. Kagome smiled as she watched to young pup slowly gain speed and finally trip over her feet, she yipped and got up again to make her way to Kagome. Sayuri yipped, growled and then barked. They looked at Inuyasha who sighed.
“She said that it didn’t hurt much and that she is okay. She also said that she felt something.” Inuyasha stopped before finishing that sentenced and growled himself. “Sesshoumaru is coming, Kagome hide… now.”
“That will not be necessary.” Sesshoumaru replied coldly. “You are in my lands, with a newborn pup that doesn’t belong to you. Who did you take it off of?”
“For your information you arrogant ass, we didn’t take her from anyone. She was given to us by her mother. She asked us to take care of her, it was her dying wish.” Inuyasha spouted.
Sesshoumaru could not detect any lie from the hanyou. He sniffed and sniffed. His eyes widened slightly and moved with so much speed no one saw where he went before it was too late. He stood majestically in front of Kagome, looking down at the pup with curiosity.
‘Is this what I have been searching for?’ He thought.
“Give the pup to me, onna.”
“No, you can’t have her. She is mine and you will not take this child from me.” Kagome said protecting the pup.
“Onna, you will get the pup back. Give her to me.”
Kagome did so reluctantly. She handed the small pup to Sesshoumaru and he stood holding Sayuri by the scruff of the neck and smelled her. His eyes widened and he nodded. Before too long, small yips, growls, barks and whines where heard from both Sesshoumaru and Sayuri.
Sesshoumaru: Is it true that your birth mother died?
Sayuri: Yes: Sniff:
Sesshoumaru: I see and how exactly are they feeding you. According to how you smell you are only but a day old.
Sayuri: Nice lady feeds me and she smells nice.
Sesshoumaru: The nice lady feeds you how?
Sayuri: She feeds me at her breast like Mother would.
At that Sesshoumaru looked shocked. Kagome had produced milk for this pup to feed upon her? She had produced milk from her own body to feed a pup that was not hers? Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome and she folded her arms over her now more then ample chest.
Sesshoumaru: Do you know what species you are?
Sayuri: Hai, I am a Midnight InuYoukai. My mother’s memories tell me I am the last.
A/N: by the way, she can talk to well because it in the language inherent to her. She knows it instinctively and all that jazz. When she was in her mother’s womb, they shared memories.
Sesshoumaru: You are correct little one. My family was sworn centuries ago to protect your kind. You have slowly begun to fade but as it is, I am sworn now to protect you with my life. Do you think you are safe with this group until you come of age to learn the things to survive?
Sayuri: Hai, nice lady is lovely. Hanyou smells bad though.
Inuyasha: Hey! I heard that you little…
Sesshoumaru: Language, Inuyasha. This little pup will not learn your habits.
Sayuri: Can I go back to nice lady now? I am hungry.
Sesshoumaru: I will let you go back to her but first you must memorize my scent. You will need to know who I am when you are of age.
Sayuri then licked Sesshoumaru’s nose. Sesshoumaru then licked Sayuri on her cheek. He handed the pup to Kagome and stood there for a moment before speaking.
“Miko…”
“My name is Kagome… Ka-Go-Me!”
“Kagome then, that pup you hold is a very rare breed. You are to take the best of care of her or else I will kill you myself.” At that Sayuri barked. “I will explain a few things to you, not because I want to but because it needs to be done. First, she is a Midnight InuYoukai and the last of her kind. My family has sworn to protect her kind centuries ago. I will therefore be checking on her from time to time. Second, protect her with your life. Third, if you need to somehow contact me then close your eyes touch this and say my name.” He said handing her a small silver pendant in the shape of a crescent moon.” Fourth, she will be coming to my castle to train when she comes of age, she has already agreed so there is no arguing. She seems to like you well enough.” Sesshoumaru said at last.
“Thank you for telling me what I needed to know.”
Sesshoumaru nodded. “Before you ask me Inuyasha I knew she was born because the allegiance our family made with their kind. I know when a Midnight InuYoukai is brought into this world.” Sesshoumaru stated and turned to walk away. Before he could get too far away Kagome stopped him with a question.
“When will she become of age, Lord Sesshoumaru?”
“She will come of age in 18-20 human years.” With that he walked off.
Sayuri yipped; Kagome didn’t need to ask Inuyasha was she meant because she was nipping at the front of Kagome’s shirt. Kagome took the small bundle into the forest to feed her.
5 Years later (I know I am skipping ahead but you know)
“Sakura, where is Sayuri?” Kagome asked her 4 year old daughter.“She is with Shippou-kun.” Sakura said still playing with the flower in her hand.
In the five years since they had taken the responsibility of Sayuri they defeated Naraku, Sango and Miroku got married and now have a son they named Kohaku, Inuyasha and Kagome mated and have two children, a daughter and a one year old son they named Toga. Things were great and they were all happy. Shippou was in the process of courting a young kitsune hanyou. Sesshoumaru had done as he had promised and had visited every month until Sayuri had turned two and hasn’t visited since.
“Thank you, sweetheart. Have you seen your father?”
“He is with Uncle Miroku and Aunt Sango.” She said absently.
Kagome made her way towards Sango and Miroku’s hut. They lived right next to each other so it wasn’t a long walk. Sakura was playing right in between both huts. She walked slowly with little Toga balanced on her hip. She pushed the flap back and walked through.
“Sango? Miroku? Inuyasha? Are you guys here or what?”
“Yeah, back here. Sango is pregnant again.” Inuyasha said with amusement.
“MOMMY! DADDY! There is someone out here to see you!” Sakura yelled loudly.
They all came running out of the hut and stood in shock at what they saw. Sesshoumaru stood right in front of the hut holding none other then Sayuri. He put the small InuYoukai down and nodded to them. It seemed to them that he even handled her gently.
“I said I would check things out. She seems to be growing nicely.” Sesshoumaru stated indifferently. He looked at the small demon and studied her.
Her hair was midnight black with a tint of blue. She had navy blue stripes as his were magenta. She had a light eye blue lining to her eyelid to where his was red. Small pointed ears peeked out of her long hair and claws that have not yet known blood grew from her delicate hands. He bent down to her level and looked closely.
“How are you fairing Sayuri?”
“I am fine, thank you…”
“Sesshoumaru, I am Sesshoumaru.”
“Sesshoumaru, I know you don’t I? I have seen you before this day?”
“Yes young one you have.”
Sayuri nodded and took off running towards her friends, Kohaku, Sakura and Shippou. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru like he had grown a second head. He was being so nice to Sayuri. She couldn’t help but wonder what his agenda was with the small girl.
“Sesshoumaru-sama, I must ask, Why are you so different around Sayuri?”
“That, woman, is none of your concern.”
“Sesshoumaru-sama, I see Sayuri as my child so of course is concerns me. I do love her dearly and would do anything for her.
“Fine, there is said to be a prophecy about the Midnight InuYoukai. It is said that the last of their kind will defeat the greatest evil to walk this earth. This evil will be 100 times worse then Naraku could even dream about. It is said that in the year of the InuYoukai’s 21st summer is when this creature will first show itself. I plan on her training to be well completed by that time. Should any harm fall to that little demon then the world is lost.”
They looked at him in shock. If Sesshoumaru couldn’t defeat this new evil then things were really bad. All was lost, if Sayuri was hurt or… died.
“Thank you, Sesshoumaru-sama. It worries me greatly that something so monstrous will be coming. Is there anything we could do to prepare for this… evil?” Sango asked shyly.
“No there is nothing you can do unless you are willing to leave your family behind and possibly die in the fight that is to come. We have plenty of time to plan but it is best to be warned.”
“Thank you.”
Sesshoumaru nodded to them and disappeared on his cloud but not before watching Sayuri play with her friends.
‘One day I will have to teach that pup what it means to be youkai. I will have to teach her how to use her abilities and explain all she needs to know to survive.’ Sesshoumaru thought with a sigh.
Later that night Sayuri was talking with Kagome.
“Kagome-mama, is Sesshoumaru my daddy?”
“No baby, he isn’t, though he will teach you many things when the time comes.”
“That means I will have to leave here and live with him doesn’t it?”
“Yes, but we will still be able to see each other.”
“Good, Kagome-mama, I like him, he was nice to me today.”
Kagome paled at that thought. She couldn’t help but wonder what would happen when Sayuri became of age and had fallen for the ice prince himself. She silently told herself that in the morning she would set the girl straight. Sayuri needed to be prepared for what was to come in her life and Kagome didn’t have a clue as to how she would help Sayuri.
