Well Hello everyone it certainly has been a long time, I rewatched Inuyasha for the millionth time and this came out. Hope you enjoy!
*sniffle*
Kagome shifted in her sleeping bag, she'd heard something that had disturbed her slumber underneath the stars. Without having to think she reached out to the small kitsune in her sleeping bag and pulled him close. She felt her pajamas dampen beneath the small kits face. She sighed now completely awake. There were always nights like this, Shippo, still grieving the loss of his parents cried out often in his sleep, but lately it'd been getting worse.
"Papa…mama…" Shippos whimpers grew in volume, until they exploded into full sobs. Inuyasha opened an eye from where he sat.
"Poor Shippo…" Kagome gently swept back the kit's hair and cuddled him closer in his sleep. '
The poor kid, to have lost them both at once…' Inuyasha let his gaze land on the kit.
Much like Shippo, Inuyasha had lost both his parents as well, though he'd never known his father and his mother was only a mortal. Shippo's parents had been ripped from him because Kagome and Inuyasha had shattered the Shikon Jewel, thus causing an increase in youkai on youkai attacks. Shippo's parents had sadly been in one of those very battles. Many times Inuyasha gazed at the kit and felt nothing but guilt, because in a way he felt it was his fault that the kit was now an orphan. He knew Kagome felt the same. He could tell by the way she held Shippo close, but not close enough to wake him, the kid needed those tears, who knew how he'd kept them pent up and locked down, taking social ques from Inuyasha himself on how to be a man.
"PAPA!" the kit screamed and jolted out of Kagome's arms and straight for the slowly dying fire. Inuyasha, without thinking reached out and grabbed the kit before he flew into the flames. Shippo looked up at Inuyasha with bleary tear filled eyes. Inuyasha wrapped the kit in the protective arms of the fire rat haori and shushed him silently back to sleep.
"go back to sleep kid" he mumbled softly. The kit in question sighed and snuggled into the familiar feeling and the familiar scent, comforted by his father like figure.
"Inuyasha…" the kit slurred as slumber caught him once more. Little did Inuyasha know Kagome had witness the entire display of out of character comfort. She smiled and closed her eyes, comforted by the fact that Shippo was in safe arms again, his tears dry for another night.
Well let me know what you thought, just a little drabble for you all!
