The lyrics used are A Mothers Prayer by Celine Dion I wrote this story a long time ago for my Mom for her birthday and posted it on another site I'm reposting it here because well i love my Mom even when she drives me crazy HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY

Love Tina

Mrs. Higurashi looked down The Bone Eater's Well it separated her from her only daughter by five hundred years.

'Inuyasha please protect Kagome,' she had asked the hanyou over a month ago.

'Keh don't I always?' had been his response.

Mrs. Higurashi looked at The Bone Eater's Well she gave a soft smile Inuyasha was like a son to her Kagome had told her not long ago…
'Inuyasha's mother was a Hime she died a long time ago. He won't tell me how and he doesn't like to talk about it. And all I know about his father is that he was a great dog demon who roamed the western plains and he died the night Inuyasha was born. He never met him and I think that really bothers him,' Kagome said after Mrs. Higurashi had asked.

Somehow knowing Inuyasha was an orphan made her want to protect him thou if she could go thru the well he would end up protecting her.

A mother's prayer ran thru her mind she sang the song while walking back to the house it always comforted her on days like this. Kagome was in The Feudal Era with Inuyasha, Gramps was at a doctor's visit, Sota was a school and she was home alone with her thoughts. The song reminded her of Kagome and Inuyasha her oldest two children. She looked up at The Goshinboku and sang.

I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go

Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are

Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe

Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

After finishing the song she stood at the door she felt her heart throb just so.

"Mama," she heard Kagome yell.

"Kagome," she said with a smile.

"Hey," Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha."

"We have to um…" Kagome started.

"We got to go out," Inuyasha said.

Mrs. Higurashi gave a small smile as they ran off.

Later that night Gramps, Sota, Inuyasha, and Kagome yelled "Surprise."

"Oh my."

"Happy birthday Mama," both Kagome and Sota said.

"Happy birthday Ai," gramps said.

"Happy birthday …Mom," Inuyasha said with a blush.

Mrs. Higurashi smiled "thank you" she hugged all of them till she got to Inuyasha she held out her arms.

Hesitantly he hugged her.

Thank you all Inuyasha was blushing the most in all honesty she had forgotten her birthday was today.

Everyone presented her with gifts from Sota a handmade card she love little gifts like that. From gramps an "interesting artifact" that had a long back story. From Kagome a new dress she had no clue how Kagome knew she wanted that particular dress. And finally Inuyasha gave her a present he had brought it was necklace.

"This is from me, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara" Inuyasha said softly handing her a beautifully crafted box in side was a necklace and bracelet. Each bead was different, and crafted carefully in a lovely jade and lined with silver the lining of the box was a lovely silk.

"Oh it's lovely."

Inuyasha blushed.

"Why are you blushing you are my son after all," she said with a warm smile.

Inuyasha had Kagome,

"Ready."

"Yep."

"Inuyasha protect Kagome," Mrs. Higurashi said.

"Keh don't I always," Inuyasha said.

"Kagome try not to get hurt," Mrs. Higurashi said.

"Okay," Kagome said.

"Good bye you two," Mrs. Higurashi said.

"Bye Mama," Kagome sang.

"Bye Mom," Inuyasha said as they jumped down the well.
