Disclaimer: i dont own Inuyasha or the song "Hero" by Mariah Carey so just leave me alone.

Chapter One: Lullaby from the Heart

'That damn Shippou always getting in trouble. And I always end up saving him" Inuyasha thought as he edged closer to the whole spider demon.'Well here goes nothing'

'' IRON REEPER SOUL STEALER!'' Inuyasha screamed as he brought down his claws in hi attack.The demon quickly was defeated.'Now to that cub.' he thought as he smirked to himself.

''Shippou goddamnit whu cant you defend yourself. Your a disgrace to the whole youkai race. (A/N that ryhmes ^_^)'' Inuyasha smirked smugly as he could tell the kitsune was sadden by his words.'YES! worked like a charm'

''Inuyasha you jerk!You can just eat shit and die for all I care!And I'm telling Kagome!'' he screamed as tears flowed down his face. He turned around and hightailed it to camp.

'shit' Inuyasha thought. " Shippou wait come back" he yelled after the poor crying kitsune. 'To late'

"INUYASHA SIT!"

WHAM!!!!!!!

'' FUCK "

*~*~*~*~ LATER THAT NIGHT*~*~*~*~

Everyone was sleeping and Shippou couldnt help but replay Inuyasha's words in his head. He sighed ' maybe hes right '

Kagome woke up to find the young kitsune still awake. " Shippou whats wrong? Why arent you sleep?" She wanted to have a talk with Inuyasha about what he had said to Shippou. It was just wrong.

"Kagome can you sing me to sleep?" Shippou asked sweetly.

"Sure Shippou... ummm let me think for a minute." She said as she pulled herself into a deep thought.'What can I sing to him to make him feel better.. but in the sameway might Inuyasha ashamed of himself' She thought for another second or two then a wonderful song popped up in her head.'Got it'

She started to sing:

Hmm

There's a hero

If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid

Of what you are

There's an answer

If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know

Will melt away Then she looked deep into Shippou's eyes and sang... And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you She spotted InuYasha in his perch listening to her sing. She continue to sing the second verse directly looking at Inuyasha.. It's a long road

When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand

For you to hold

You can find love

If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt

Will disappear She saw Inuyasha bow his head like he was in shame and looked back down at Shippou... And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

Oh oooh

Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away, hey yeah

Hold on

There will be tomorrow

In time

You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in you

Mhhh

That a hero lies in

You She smiled to herself when she saw Shippou sleeping finally that night. She stood up and said " Inuyasha i would like to speak to you in private please'' He noded and followed her deeper into the forest..... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A/N i will continue if you review and ask me too. but i think i'll let this be if i dont get people asking me for more... my first fic didnt even get read i think.. but i hope you like it.
