Me: Ok so this is the new story. I really like this story much better than the previous one.
Now keep in mind that it is the same story. Not everything is going to change. Yes some things are going to be changed, but some things are going to stay the same. The plot is the same, what was going to happen in the story is the same, only a few details have changed. It's just going to be rewritten, more elaborate.
I hope you all forgive me for this and I hope you continue to read the story. Please read and review! Tell me what you think of the new story! :D
Thanks Muchly ;D

Summary: One night when Shippou has a nightmare, Kagome sings him a lullaby that her grandmother used to sing to her. After everyone is asleep, Inuyasha reveals that his mother used to sing that song to him as well. As the lullaby brings the two closer, will Inuyasha run from his feelings? Will Kagome finally be able to admit her love to him? What happens when a certain character has the power to tear them apart forever?
Shippou was standing in a field that seemed to stretch on forever. He was curled up beside his father sleeping. He sighed happily in his sleep. Suddenly he felt a blast of cold air and opened his eyes. His father was no longer beside him. Instead he saw the thunder brothers floating just above him.
"Shippou you're the last one." One of them said. He looked to see that one of the thunder brothers was wearing his father's body as a belt.
"Father!" He called out tears forming in his eyes. The thunder brothers just looked at him and laughed. "You bastards!" He screamed at them. They immediately stopped laughing and glared at the little fox demon in front of them.
"You're gonna get it now you little weakling!" They yelled in unison. They began to chase him.
"AHHH!" He screamed.
"AHHH!" Shippou screamed as he shot up.
"Shippou?" He heard Kagome roll over and look at him. "Did you have a bad dream?"
"Mm-hm" he whimpered crawling into Kagome's lap. She sat up and began to rock him back and forth as he cried in her arms.
"Shh Shippou." She crooned gently. "You're okay. I've got you; nothing's going to happen to you. I promise."
"Don't make promises you can't keep Kagome" Inuyasha said in a bitter tone.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"If he doesn't shut up soon, he's gonna get hurt!" Inuyasha growled.
"Inuyasha…" Miroku warned as he woke up. Sango was already awake and staring at Kagome with a worried expression.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked sweetly. Inuyasha started to look scared. "SIT!" Inuyasha's head met the ground with a loud thump. "Humph" Kagome said and went back to rocking Shippou.
"Kagome would you sing me to sleep?" Shippou asked.
"Oh, Shippou. I don't think that's a very good idea" Kagome said uneasily.
"Please Kagome!" Shippou begged.
"You might as well Kagome, we're already all awake. It wouldn't do you any harm," Sango reasoned. Kagome looked and saw that both Sango and Miroku were sitting up and were looking at her. She blushed slightly as she rocked Shippou slowly in her arms. She took a deep breath and began to sing.
"Come stop you're crying
It'll be alright
Just take my hand
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.
Cuz you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always"
She finished the song and looked around at her friends. Sango and Miroku were sleeping again, each laying on their own bed roll, Shippou was snoring in her arms and Inuyasha was sitting a few feet away with his back to her. She tucked Shippou back into her sleeping bag and stared at the back of Inuyasha's head.
"Inuyasha?" She said softly. He grunted in reply. "Oh, come on Inuyasha. You can't still be angry about before can you?" Inuyasha didn't reply. "Shippou was seriously scared. I just sang him a lullaby. I don't understand how that's-"
"That's not… that's not it." She heard him say. His voice was quiet, not its usual loud gruffness.
"Well then what's the problem?" She asked, confused. When he didn't answer, again, she stood and walked over to him. He turned his head away as she knelt by his side, escalating her worry. "Inuyasha," she said gently. "Talk to me."
He turned his head and looked at her, she nearly gasped at what she saw. His eyes held more emotion than she had seen from him in a long time. He looked completely vulnerable; all his protective shields were down.
"Where did you hear that song?" He suddenly asked looking down again.
"What?" She asked, totally surprised by the question.
"The song! Where did you hear it?" He asked again, his voice urgent.
"The lullaby?" She asked trying to meet his eyes. "My grandmother use to sing me to sleep every night when she was alive with that lullaby. She said her mother use to sing it to her and her mother would sing it to her and so on." She paused and stared intently at Inuyasha. "What's wrong?"
"My… my mother use to sing that to me, before she died." He said in a soft tone. Kagome gave a small gasp and covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide. She leaned over and threw her arms around his neck. He tensed immediately but after a moment relaxed into her embrace.
"Inuyasha, I'm so sorry. If I'd known I wouldn't have-"
"No." He said cutting her off. "I haven't thought about my mother in a while. I-I'm glad that you sang that song…" he trailed off and looked up. There was a faraway look in his eyes that Kagome had never seen before, a tenderness that only emerged in their most private moments together.
"Inuyasha…" she whispered. He turned his head sideways to completely face her, and froze. They were only a couple inches away, the only sound in the night was their breathing. Kagome kept her eyes locked on Inuyasha's. 'Kiss him. Kiss him. Kiss him.' were the only thoughts running through her head. She couldn't move she didn't want to scare him; she didn't want to do anything he didn't. But she did want to kiss him.
His eyes drifted from her eyes, to her lips, and back up to her eyes. He extended his neck and leaned in towards her, he glanced one more time at her eyes before his lips settled on hers. Neither of them were moving, both assessing the other's reaction. Then Kagome opened her lips her bottom lip landing below his, capturing his bottom lip between hers. Then they were both moving, slowly, their lips moving in rhythm with each other.
Inuyasha shifted, to face her completely, not breaking the kiss. His hands rested on her waist for a second before wrapping around to pull her closer to him. The soft contours of her body curved around his hard muscles perfectly as he strong arms pressed her closer to him. Kagome's arms moved up as she rested her hands on his chest. As he pulled her closer, her arms reached up to wrap around his neck, bring his face closer to hers. They were both still moving slowly, there was no urgency in the kiss. They were both taking their time, exploring each other
Kagome's mind was racing. 'I can't believe this is happening' She thought excitedly. She was dizzy with exhilaration, her heart was racing a mile a minute and she knew he could feel it. Right when she thought she might burst from light-headedness, he pulled back. She opened her eyes slowly and was immediately greeted with the sight of his amber eyes staring unabashedly back at her. He had only moved an inch away and she could feel his warm breath against her lips.
His eyes were uncertain, waiting. She said nothing as she searched his eyes. She had no idea how he was feeling. What she did know was that her heart was racing, and that her love for him was only increasing. But he wasn't trying to kiss her again, he hadn't moved. He was just staring at her with those alluring eyes of his. Not saying a word. His face an impenetrable mask, similar to Sesshomaru's. Her only gateway into his emotions was his eyes, those bright golden orbs that were staring into hers.
"Inuyasha?" she finally whispered. He flinched slightly at the sound of her voice. He blinked rapidly and stared back at her.
"Kagome?" He said his voice hoarser than usual.
"I uh… I think I'm just going to go to bed." She said, her voice shaking. She stood up uneasily, her knees wobbling and her muscles aching. She walked over to her sleeping bag and stepped over a sleeping Shippou. She had no idea how much time had passed and she was very jittery. She settled into her sleeping bag and pulled it over her head, trying not to let her tears escape.
