I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.
Chapter one: A Special Day.
The first day of school is a special day; especially your first ever day of school.
One little blue eyed girl with black hair was excited for her first day, standing between her mother and father, the girl could not stop fidgeting. Looking up she saw the huge building she would have to enter and where her parents would leave her for HOURS.
With her parent's insistence and a gentle nudge, she swallowed hard and slowly took a small step forward, then another and then another. Suddenly she whipped around to face her parents.
"You won't forget to pick me up right?" The blue eyed girl asked with a frightened gaze.
"Oh, Kagome, we'd never forget." Her mother, Suki, said while holding little baby Souta.
Seeing the worry still etched on her face, her father got down on his knees and held her hands.
"Your mother will pick you up, right after work, and when I get home from work you can tell me all about your first day. Okay kiddo?" her father, Hoshi, finished off by ruffling her hair.
Kagome beamed at the idea, a big smile present on her chubby face. Her father was the one who usually told her stories but this time she can tell him. Kagome nodded enthusiastically, yet still a little unsure and worried, putting on a brave face.
Her mother got teary thinking about her little girl.
"Oh my little baby is growing up! You're 6 already! Oh Hoshi, she'll be married off soon and have a family of her own!"
Hoshi froze, his aura darkening at the thought of a boy taking away his precious Kagome from him. His Youki was loose at the image in his head some weaker youkai cowered and stepped back almost choking from the strength and some a little stronger and wiser saw that it was a warning and although not knowing the reason bowed their head in submission and those with spiritual powers fought the common instinct-fight or flight.
Suki, who also feeling the power, scolded her husband.
"Hoshi! Stop it! You're going to create a panic and attract attention-something we don't want. Remember?
Hoshi quickly drew back his youki and calmed down. He slowly raised from his kneeling position trying not to attract unwanted attention and looked down ashamed.
"I-I'm sorry Suki. I lost control." Hoshi said looking at Suki with what could only be described as a puppy dog face. Suki couldn't stay mad. How could she with that face? She closed her eyes and let out a sigh, "You're too protective of her." A smile growing on her face despite her words and earlier actions.
Hoshi smiled knowing he was forgiven and looked back down at his daughter who's little head was tilted to the side and seemed to be staring off, thinking, her face showing that of wonder and confusion.
"What was that I felt? It felt so weird. Like when Uncle Hiroshi surprised me when he hid behind the couch." Kagome muttered, one hand crossing her chest supporting her other hand while her index finger rested on her chin in her well known 'thinking position'.
Suki and Hoshi looked at each other in panic. Suki's eyes shouting 'what do we do?!' Hoshi racked his brain for an idea when a reassuring smile swept across his face and with that same smile he returned to his kneeling position and put his hands on Kagome's shoulders startling her from her thoughts.
"It's just your nerves Kagome. You'll have fun at school, you'll see. I'm so proud of you Kagome, you're so brave and beautiful. You've been a great big sister to Souta. So much responsibility for my baby girl." Hoshi's eyes held pride. Not only because of what he told her about but she was so smart. She'd noticed something odd about the power surges from a young age. At first it was instinct but from the age of 3 and a half she was trying to work out the pieces. Putting together pieces of a puzzle, though not all were placed in order and the picture still very much unclear. She was working things out so fast. Growing up so fast.
"Hey mum, what's married?" Kagome innocently asked.
Suki's teary eyes-a result of her husband's word to their daughter immediately cleared up and held a look of surprise.
Hoshi's shoulders began to shake and a muffled sound escaped his lips. Suki looked down at her husband, baffled. Suddenly loud laughter erupted from Hoshi, his head thrown back. Suki release her own giggles and little Souta held the same confusion Kagome did.
Yet she was still so innocent.
Calming down and getting up with a mummer of "No boy's taking my baby away" Hoshi held onto Kagome's hand and started to lead her to the office with Suki settling Souta into the pram and gently pushing behind them.
"Your mother and I will explain later"
They were almost at the office when- "NO! I DON'T WANNA! NOOOOO!"
Heads turned to look at the commotion with wide eyes.

Well That's the first chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. It's my first story so please, if it was terrible, keep that in mind.
I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism, advice or corrections. Apologies for any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors.
I really love the 'Sesshomaru and Kagome growing up' stories and thought I'd have a try since I find that there aren't enough of them and finished ones at that. I'll try my best to complete it however long it may take.
Thank you for taking the time to read it,
