Chapter 2

Inuyasha and Miroku had just barely entered the village when their young yokai friend Shippo came out of no where screaming at the top of his lungs.

"THE BABY IS HERE! THE BABY IS HERE! MIROKU YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING, WHERE ARE YOU!?"

A familier 'keh' was heard followed by a resounding SMACK and the kit kneeling on the ground with his head in his small hands.

"Learn some respect kid." grumbled the iritated inu. "Hey... Where did the monk go?"

"He went to see his new baby, duh!" another SMACK was given before they went to find their friends.

Back with the women

"She looks just like her father... Lets hope she won't act like him though or you might be a grandmother before you know it." Giggled the awed young miko.

"Do not tempt the fates Kagome! You know best of us all how they love to play." Sango laughed right along with her beloved friend.

"Yee would think said father would be here for the-"

"Sango!... A-are you... a-all right?... how is... t-the baby?" Miroku was seen doubled over and panting in the door frame, completely winded.

"Come see for yourself." Kagome delicatly took the child from its mother. With the greatest care she slowly placed the newborn in the girls fathers arms, making sure he held her head properly.

"Miroku? What should we name her?" Asked the taijiya.

"I thought we already had a name ready for if this blessing would be a girl?"

"Did... we?..." She just barely got the words out before falling into a deep sleep.

"Looks like our big strong exterminator is all tuckered out. Lets give her some rest, shall we?" Spoke a giggly Kagome.

"I think I'll stay here for now..." The monk was now whispering as to not wake his wife, nor the now dozing infant in his embrace.

"I'll be back to check on them in an hour or so." The head priestess intoned before exiting with her most praised apprentice.

As they stepped through the door they were bombarded by their next miko-to-be and Kagome's adopted son.

Through many excuses and short, simple explanations these two experienced ladies managed to change the topic of newborn friends to Rins approaching thirteenth birthday. It was however, only her third one to be celebrated in her memory, for no one knew when she was born. Kagome took it upon herself to take Rin under her wing and make sure she grew to be a fine young lady, yet while she had no doubt Sesshomaru had access to the countrys best teachers, tutors and whatever else was deemed sutable in this time, our heroin was not going to let this bright,thoughtful girl go to waste in this kami forsaken world.
