"Mommy? Why did you run away from those people?" Yoko asked as she looked up from her bed to her mother. He mother was silent for a bit before smiling softly to her daughter and started to tickle her, "Because love, I didn't want you to miss your bed time. We leave early tomorrow." She said before standing up and closing the door to her daughters room that they rented before she went and sat down by the door to their room, leaning her head against it as she prepared for sleep. "Inuyasha? Why do you think that woman looked hurt and scared before she ran? I mean we never seen her before have we?" A male voice sounded outside their room making the female inu-yokai's head jerk up sharply. "I don't think we have met her or that little girl before. Maybe we should check it out." A female voice said as well sounding concerned.
Inuyasha stayed silent as they made it to their rooms, his nose caught the faint scent of the small girl they met earlier but he ignored it. Kagome and the others continued to talk and wonder about why the mothers eyes showed pain and fear before she ran away from them. "It all happened after she got a good look at Inuyasha didn't it..." Miroku trailed off as they all turned to look at Inuyasha who glared at them. "What are you all looking at?" He snapped at them loudly, everyone looked away but continued to think about the female. Inuyasha was also thinking, wondering why the little girl had talked to him so eagerly and comfortably out of all of them and why the female ran away from them after she looked at him. The little girl bothered him most, she had been a inu-pup, most pups prefer to stay close to their family, especially their parents when they are as young as her. She had felt safe and not threatened by him, allowing herself to get closer to him than the others. Agitated at the lack of answers Inuyasha sighed before leaning back and closing his eyes.
In the dead of night their was a whimper as the small girl was picked up from her bed, "Shhhh, hush love, its Mommy. We are going to be leaving a bit earlier just sleep, Mommy's got you." Came the calming voice of her mother, Yoko whimpered softly before burying her face into her mothers neck and falling back to sleep. Her mother held her daughter close to her as she stepped into the hallway and took off running, she was close to the woods before she heard the footsteps of another. "Show yourself" She whispered sharply but loud enough to be heard, Inuyasha stepped out from the darkness into the moonlight in front of them, his arms folded into his sleeves.
"A reason your leaving so early." He questioned as he looked down at the small sleeping girl in her arms, whom she held closer to her body accidentally prying a small whimper from her daughters lips. Inuyasha glanced down at the child again before looking back up at her mother. "It's not safe for us." Her mother snapped as she looked around, her eyes landed on the crescent moon in the sky and her eyes showed pain. "Sesshomaru..." She growled slightly as her eyes stared up to the pale moon in the sky. Inuyasha growled at the mention of his brother and clenched his fists, "You love my brother?" Inuyasha snarled but was taken back when he saw the pain in the females eyes. "Love? To have your innocence taken one night to relieve a male of their heat? Is that love? You think I loved him? No, I never met him before that or after. How can that be love?" Her voice cracked slightly as she looked down at her daughter. "To find out that an unplanned mating blessed me with this beautiful child...she is who I love, not him." She whispered as tears fell from her eyes and landed on her daughters cheek waking her from her slumber. "Mommy...Mommy why are you crying?" Her daughter looked at her mother before licking her tears and nuzzling her cheek wanting her mother to be happy.
Inuyasha stood there shocked, an unplanned mating, a child, his BROTHERS child. Inuyasha stepped forward as he watched the female fall to her knees crying as she held her daughter tightly. Her daughter whimpered as she started to cry with her mother, Inuyasha crouched down next to the pair and embraced them both trying to calm them down. The girl looked up at him with teary eyes and asked him why her mommy was crying, Inuyasha blinked as he looked down at the girl, "um, your Mommy's just upset..." he murmured as he held them both and rocked them calming them both down. "Let's go back." He said after the crying had stopped, "You can talk to us after you both get rest." He said standing up with the girl in his arms sleeping and her mother stood up as well nodding, she went to take her daughter back from him but he held her to him, "Please.." he asked quietly looking down, she nodded and they both walked back.
