Disclaimer: I do not own Inu-Yasha or the lyrics to the following song.
You light me up and then I fall for you
You lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' round, oh pretty baby
And I know things don't last forever
But there are lessons that you'll never learn
Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
So how's it you that makes me better
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' round, oh pretty baby
Why can't you hold me and never let go
When you touch me it is me that you own
Pretty baby oh the place that you hold in my heart
Would you break it apart again.oh pretty baby
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' round, oh pretty baby

Inu-Yasha slumped against a tree, watching the well. It had been nearly ten years since Kagome had left last time. With a sigh, Inu-Yasha reflected on what had happened since Kagome had left.
Shippô had grown up and left to the lands in the east. Sango and Miroku were married and probably had kids by now. Inu-Yasha snorted in disgust. Knowing Miroku, he would have the kids call him "Uncle Inu-Yasha." Kaede had died only a few months ago and a new priestess had taken over.
"Kagome must be a beautiful woman now. Feh! Why am I thinking about that wench? She's gone and the well's sealed. Why do I even bother staying around here? My father's lands are to the west. With her dying breath, Kaede told me that I'm my father's heir," Inu-Yasha grumbled to himself, jumping to the ground. He stared sadly down in the well, hoping that Kagome would come through.
After a full minute, Inu-Yasha turned and walked slowly off towards the west.
A few miles later, Inu-Yasha sensed a demon aura racing towards him from the direction that he was traveling. The aura became much stronger as Inu- Yasha dashed forward to intercept the oncoming demon.
"Inu-Yasha!" a voice squealed as a red blur tackled him.
"Fi'era?" he gasped, pushing the female dog-demon off him. "What in the seven hells are you doing so far from the Western Lands?"
Fi'era's cheerful look faded into one of sadness and fear. "Your brother took over and everyone fears him. He has killed many of the more loyal subjects of your father and you. My brother included," she explained, her eyes staring at the ground.
"Shi? He killed Shi? That bastard! I'll rip him apart!" Inu-Yasha growled as he started to lope off to the west once more. Shi was his childhood friend and playmate.
"Good. That pup has no idea what he's heading towards," Fi'era chuckled, her eyes glittering with hatred. "Now I should go finish Lord Sesshomaru's bidding." She turned and ran in the opposite direction of Inu-Yasha, her mind set on the well into another world. Along with all of Sesshomaru's subjects, she knew about Inu-Yasha's human friend, that girl who was the reincarnation of Kikyo. With a grin to make any mortal shudder in fear, Fi'era skidded to a halt in front of the well and leapt in.

Inu-Yasha continued to run, oblivious of what Fi'era was about to do. He had felt her presence disappear a few seconds ago but had paid no attention to it. His mind was on how to get into the Western Lands without his brothers knowledge.
A few hours later, Inu-Yasha stopped. He had felt an aura that was extremely familiar. It was the kitsune's aura but what was Shippô doing so far from his homelands?
"Shippô?!" Inu-Yasha shouted, looking around.
At his voice, the demon aura came closer and a red-brown fox trotted out from under the bushes. He transformed to his humanoid form and looked Inu- Yasha in the eye.
"Hey Inu-Yasha. Did you shrink or something?" Shippô joked, ducking away from Inu-Yasha's brief attack.
"You little." he growled, noogying Shippô after he had caught him.
"So, what are you doing over this way?" Shippô asked, pulling away from Inu- Yasha's grasp. "I thought that you were waiting for your woman to return."
Once again, Shippô had to duck away from Inu-Yasha, grinning.
"She's not my woman!!!" Inu-Yasha shouted, glaring at the laughing kitsune. "I got bored and decided to check on my father's lands. I just learned from Fi'era that Sessohmaru took over and killed some of my friends."
"You mean that bitch that ran by here a few hours ago?" Shippô asked, glancing sharply at Inu-Yasha.
"Yes, that's the one," Inu-Yasha confirmed.
"Damn. I hate to say this, but when she ran by here, she was laughing about getting a girl from another world and saying that she was to marry Sesshomaru after he killed a half-demon," Shippô explained, biting a lip. "You're lucky that I live near the border of this land and your father's land now."
"How far until then?" Inu-Yasha asked, his eyes betraying his fear.
"Just over that hill. I'll take you there and you can meet my mate," Shippô said, leading the way to his house.
When they got there, there were only ruins that were still smoking. Shippô ran to where a door used to be, sniffing around for any scent. A brown head of hair moved out from underneath a burnt table.
"Kira!" Shippô called, running to the female fox demon. Inu-Yasha looked on as Shippô and Kira conversed.
"Our pups," she said, trying to get at a pile of smoldering blankets. "They took our pups."
Shippô stood, lifting Kira so that she could stand. "Inu-Yasha. I'm coming with you so that I can get our pups back."
