After finally having defeated and destroyed the sword So'unga Inuyasha and Kagome opted to settle down in Kaede's village. Although the battle was over the world would never truly be safe and the scars it left behind on the land would never fade so long as beings like Naraku still wandered the earth. Kagome had soon come to find that she was pregnant with Inuyasha's child and that they would soon be the proud parents of a beautiful little girl. Inuyasha hoped for a full blooded demon child to spare her from the pain he suffered, but at the same time he hoped that maybe she would take after Kagome and be human to be spared the demon blood.
At the time of their battle Kagome had been around five months pregnant, according to Kaede. Not having shown any signs she didn't take care of her body the way she would've wanted to which had her worried that she damaged her baby's health. She thought back to all the small symptoms: aching back, nausea, swollen ankles, all of which she had associated with her journey around Japan. She never stopped to think about why she wasn't having her period coincidentally after having sex with Inuyasha, instead she was just grateful that she didn't get it.
Kagome gasped as she felt her water finally break; Kaede had given her a mix of herbs that was meant to induce labor after she had gone way over her due date. As soon as her water broken contractions began tearing through her and causing her claw at Inuyasha's arm as she screamed in pain. Luckily for him her nails had been trimmed the day before. Inuyasha became uncomfortable at the idea of watching her give birth and opted to wait outside the small hut until she was born, Kagome had told him if he couldn't handle it then he was free to wait outside a couple weeks prior so she didn't get mad at him. Kaede looked at Kagome with a smile on her face as she prepared to help bring her sister's reincarnation's first child into the world.
Inuyasha was growing impatient as he sat outside the hut, he'd heard the screaming cries of his child ages ago but Kaede wouldn't allow him to see her yet. She told him she still had to clean her and bundle her up before allowing her outside the hut. Inuyasha didn't care about all of that instead he just wanted to check if she were human or demon and see her beautiful face for the first time. Kaede finally motioned for him to join Kagome in the hut, which he didn't hesitate in doing, and gasped as the ember colored eyes of his daughter looked back at him. She at just hours old she had a full head of silver hair that looked just like her father's. He took her in his arms and looked down into her eyes as she looked back at him. Inuyasha was smitten with his daughter. He looked up and noticed the pale purple star on her forehead which instantly gave him a name idea.
"Star, that's your name little one." Inuyasha said smiling like a fool.
Kagome smiled through her exhaustion and nodded, "I like that name, we'll keep it and her name will be Star." Kagome said as she yawned.
"Inuyasha, why don't you take Star out to see her other family? I'm sure Kagome would like to get some rest so you'll be on baby duty for a while." Kaede said watching him.
"Oh, right." Inuyasha said.
He walked from inside the hut and immediately was surrounded by his friends. Sango gently took her from Inuyasha's arms with his permission and rocked her in her arms.
"Oh Inuyasha she's beautiful." Sango said softly as she cooed to little Star. Sango's son looked up at Star with amazement and gently pet her tiny dog ears. Star, much to Inuyasha's dismay, had been born fully demon. He hoped that in the years to come he would be able to keep control over her because he did not want her to end up a bloodthirsty demon hated by all as Naraku had once made him out to be.
Star started crying which immediately sent Inuyasha into a panic as he grabbed her and looked her over for any wounds. Sango put her hand gently on his shoulder to soothe him, he was completely smitten with that child and that was exactly how it was supposed to be.
