Secret Adoption


Disclaimer: Inuyasha and company are, sadly; not mine to claim. However, the good thing is, is that this story is so Enjoy.


He looked upon the small bundle of joy that the nurse was holding delicately, in a small pink blanket, in the confines of the infant infirmary. A healthy baby girl from what he could surely tell. She bore wavy black hair, and her cheeks were a rose color. Her eyes were closed in a peaceful sleep, which made him wonder what her eye color was. He could tell right away, when she got older, she would be indeed beautiful; but there was one small problem….she was not his beautiful off-spring.

His eyes bled a heavy red as he stared upon the face of the calm child that made his whole world fall apart. He was a demon and the child was human and not half demon like she was supposed to be. She held no trace of demon blood in her system what so ever. All he could sense, see and smell, from the child was its human and only human blood.

Without thinking he smashed his fist into the glass window making it heavily, causing the nurse to shriek and jerk the baby in her hands taking cover behind a nearby desk. Every infant in the nursery room began to shriek out and cry except the child that was held in the nurse's hands.

"How could she….." he said looking through the now broken glass.

"Why would she…when did she….who is he…" was his broken sentences, as he tried to focus his jumbled thoughts.

"Nothing is never what it seems son." said a deep voice from behind.

"Why father…" he said sounding broken. He was leaning up against the glass window fist still clenched and eyes closed.

"Don't worry my son…I will take care of it, but I will need your help."

"What is it father?" he said walking towards the man.

"A suitable family has been found for the child's care. All you need to do is get the adoption papers signed without Satsuki knowing." He said grabbing his son shoulder and turning him around. "We cannot have such shame brought upon our family crest." He watched as he son anger showed on his face before his son closed his eyes. "Listen to me son…this has to be done. There is too much at stake."

The sound of someone clearing their throat caught their attention and they both turns around to come face to face with the doctor. In his possession was the adoption paper in his hand.

"I understand father. I will talk to my mate... alone and get her to sign the documents."

"And one other thing, I must ask you to do."

"what is that?"

"You must not tell Satsuki of what you have learned."

"For what reas…."

"It will be your downfall as well as hers! I know this is much to bear, but she must not know. You must reset your broken life. You must show her that this cursed night had not exists!"

"Yes father." He said taking the papers and silently walked into his wife room and shut the door and leaned up against it, eyes closed; gathering his thoughts together. He would leave the matters of the hospital staff to his father. His main concern for the time being would be his wife.

"Satsuki …. I'm sorry…" he said with his head turned away and hands tight on the knob. The weak smile his wife had showed him made his stomach as it fell from her face bright face. He mentally agreed this was for the best. That he will start over with his mate. He was going to eventually confront her in due time, but now he changed his mind. He would fully follow his father's orders all the way to his grave. Looking down out the adoption paper he clutched them in his hand as he made his way over to her. "We have to sign this Death Certificated."

Satsuki singed the papers without reading them and handed them to her husband before dropping her head into her hands and cried some more. Opening up the door slightly, he through the documents into his father grasp, before shutting the door.

Starring at the closed door for a split second longer, he turned with a heavy sigh and heart, and made his way to the nursery to retrieve the crying child before heading to a separated room at the other end of the hospital. With each step guilt and sorrow swelled in his chest, but he kept telling himself that this was for the child's own protection. Taking the still crying infants hand, he sung a lullaby that had seemed long forgotten in his memory of his mate:

"Come stop you crying it will be ole right.

Just take my hand, and hold it tight.

I will protect you, from; all around you.

I will be here don't you cry.

For one so small, you seem so strong.

My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm.

This bond between us; can't be broken.

I will be here; don't you cry.

Cause you'll be in my heart.

Yes, you'll be in my heart; … always."

Stopping for a seconded, he pulled a midnight blue dog collar that out of his trench coat pocket. On it bared the northern crest of a light blue crescent moon and a five point star, as the one on top of his forehead; and a named carved into it on the underside of it. He gently places the obviously large trinket around the child's neck, watching it as it shrunk to fit, before kissing the girl on her head. Hugging her tight he continued down the hall into the ICU and to the last door on the right at the end of the hall and into the room where the couple was waiting.

As he entered he gave a man the papers to look over and sign and walked over the weakened woman who sat up in bed. Bending down he placed the child into the heart-broken woman's arms making tears swell into her eye. The child begun to cry wanting out of the new embrace and back into the old embrace.

"Take care of her for she is very special."Said the demon; putting a large clawed hand over her head making the baby crying stop briefly.

"Yes Lord Akashi. We will take good care of her." Looking down at the baby she hugged it to her chest.

"Be a good girl….Kagome." With one last kiss to the forehead he made his way out the room not looking back. To scare, that if he do, he wouldn't be able to go through with his heart breaking and unbearable plan. Shutting the door he leaned against the door, with the knob tight in his grasp he whispered: "You'll be in my heart…..always."

"…and that she'll be your name…Kagome Satsuki Higurashi…" said the woman as her husband walked toward her and their new child.
