Summary: Kagome and her son Yasuo live alone in a forest in a hut. InuYasha died due to a fatal disease after the war ended. She meets Kenshin and his friends at a restaurant and what if InuYasha talks to him in his dreams and continuously tests him to see if Kenshin is worthy of her heart and tells about their history? Will InuYasha allow him to go after Kagome or will he refuse to allow it?

Chapter One: Kagome and Yasuo

Kagome swatted at the persisting nudging in her side Kagome groaned and covered her head.

"Get up momma!" she heard Yasuo yell then he pounced on her

Kagome sighed and sat up "what do you need sweetheart" Kagome asked tiredly.

"I'm hungry." Yasuo pouted crossing his arms and huffing Kagome laughed.

She stared at her son and observed him he had Inuyasha's face, he had raven black hair that reached the edge of his shoulders, he had amber gold eyes, and black puppy-like ears. He does have some demon features he had claws, fangs and, demonic hearing and demonic strength. What shocked her and Inuyasha was that Yasuo was a half- demon they expected him to be a quarter- demon.

"What's wrong mama?" Yasuo asked worried and confused frowning at his mother.

"Nothing, we'll go out to eat go get dressed." Kagome said gently and softly patting his head.

Yasuo nodded then ran off, Kagome sighed and got up, and then she put on a white yukata that had soft pink sakura blossoms and violet lilies with a soft pink obi.

Yasuo came back wearing his fire rat that InuYasha passed on to him along with Tetsuaiga the fire rat shrunk to fit it young master and world get bigger has Yasuo grew like it did with InuYasha. Kagome also wouldn't give Yasuo Tetsuaiga until he was at least sixteen and able to handle Tetsuaiga's power. Even though InuYasha sealed it and told Tetsuaiga to reveal one power at a time if he's ready to handle it.

Kagome took Yasuo's small clawed hand and walked to the shopping square to eat at Akabeko.

Kagome led Yasuo to Akabeko and it was packed which was abit unusual.

"Welcome to Akabeko, please come with me." The woman said smiling.

Kagome nodded and followed her "Himura-kun, do you mind if these two sit with you and the others?" the woman asked.

"Not at all, please sit miss and young one." The red headed man said smiling.

Kagome nodded then sat down nest the right of him and Yasuo crawled into her lap.

"So what would you like to have?" the woman asked taking out a small slip of paper.

"I would like some Oden and Yasuo would like some Ramen please." Kagome said calmly looking down at her son and he nodded in approval.

"Okay, and what would you like to drink?" she asked politely and smiling.

"Jasmine Tea please, Yasuo what would you like?" Kagome asked softly looking back at him.

"Peach Tea please." Yasuo said smiling at the woman.

She nodded then wrote it down "you food will be here as soon as possible." The woman said, Kagome nodded then started chatting with Yasuo about why he can't fly.

Kenshin observed the small family the woman was a bit taller than he was, she had long lower- back length, wavy black hair, she had blue gray eyes, tannish pale skin, and she was wearing a yukata.

The boy Yasuo had black shoulder-length hair, he was wearing a white inner hiori and a red outer hiori with red hamaka's and he strangely had black puppy-like ears on top of his head also to that he was bare footed. Why didn't she make him put shoes on?

"What your name Miss?" Kenshin asked politely she turned to him and smiled lightly.

"Sorry, I'm Taisho Kagome, just call me Kagome," Kagome said lightly ", Yasuo introduce yourself."

"I'm Taisho Yasuo, just call me Yasuo." Yasuo said shyly ducking behind Kagome.

Kenshin smiled "Nice to meet you both of you, I'm Himura Kenshin." Kenshin said lightly.

Kenshin had on a violet outer hiori and a white inner hiori, and he had on a white hamaka, he has violet eyes and red hair that is pulled into a low ponytail.

"I'm Kamiya Kaoru," The woman next to Kenshin introduced smiling.

Kaoru had long black, blue tinted hair that was pulled back by a pink ribbon. She had blue eyes and tan skin. She was wearing a pink yukata with red, white, and yellow rose designs and she had a white obi on.

"I'm Myojin Yahiko, nice to meet you!" The young boy introduced with a smirk.

He had spiky black hair he had brown eyes, he was wearing red, green, yellow stripped outer hiori and hand had on green hamaka's and he had tan skin.

"I'm Sagara Sanosuke, just call me Sano." The tall man said smirking as well.

Sano had spiky, black hair, he had brown eyes and he was taller than everyone in Kenshin's group, he was wearing a white shirt that was open and on the back was 'Aku', he had on white pants and black shoes."

"It's nice meeting you all," Kagome said politely ", I'm Taisho Kagome and this is my son Taisho Yasuo." Kagome introduced smiling.

"Here's your food, ma' am" The woman said smiling handing Kagome her bowl of oden and Yasuo his bowl of ramen then their tea.

"Thank you." Kagome said smiling she paid for the food and started eating.

"Yay ramen, mama I wish daddy was here! We would have had a ramen eating contest!" Yasuo chirped remembering the fun times he had with his father; then happily digging in his ramen, with a series of slurps.

Kagome smiled sadly at Yasuo "Yeah and we'd be broke in one minute!" Kagome said smiling widely, Yasuo laughed.

"Yeah, mama when is daddy going to come back?" Yasuo asked tilting his head.

"Your ramen's going to get soggy Yasuo." Kagome said pointing to his food trying to change the subject.

Yasuo begun eating again forgetting his question Kagome finished her food then her tea.

When Yasuo finished his meal he yawned and crawled to Kagome; he wrapped his arms around her neck. Kagome smiled "I better take my leave." She said as she stood up with her son in her arms.

"Bye Kagome- dono, have a safe trip home." Kenshin said smiling the waving.

Kagome turned and walked away she made her way back home, she felt Yasuo shift and his head fell on her shoulder.

Kagome smiled it was hard being alone, but she always managed. Hers and Yasuo's life was a bit acceptable. She was a merchant but she saved up her money to buy some wood to fix up the hut like InuYasha was going to do; but they were happy now even if they lived in a rundown hut but It was special because InuYasha built it; it was only worn down by the years.

Kagome told Yasuo stories about his father and her adventures and moment's with their friends and their family-like relationship.

Kagome continued on her way home she heard the bushes shuffle.

She wirled around "Who's there, show you're self?!" Kagome yelled starring at the forest in front of her.

"Momma what's wrong?" Yasuo asked worried and scared, Kagome put Yasuo down and pushed him behind her then she got ready to put up with somewhat of a fight.

"Looks like we got a feisty one men!" a man said smirking the whistling for his gang to come out.

Men came out of both sides a brown haired man grabbed Yasuo quickly before she could stop him but her put a knife to Yasuo's throat before she could punch him; when she stopped he laughed at the panic on her face.

"Yasuo!" Kagome said worried and panic before she was grabbed from behind.

"Mommy I'm scared why are they being mean?" Yasuo asked crying helplessly upset.

"Please leave him alone, let him go!" Kagome begged she didn't care about herself as long as Yasuo was safe.

The Man laughed "I don't think so." He smirked narrowing his eyes; Kagome gulped and had fright in her eyes.

*Kenshin and his group*

Kenshin sighed he had a bad feeling he kept walking assuming he was going to the Kamiya dojo but instead he was at a dirt path that looked old and worn down a bit.

"Kenshin you finally came back to earth," Karou yelled glaring at Kenshin angrily ", you've been where are we?!"

"I don't know I thought I was going to the dojo I guess I wasn't." Kenshin said simply shrugging.

"Don't blame him he's probably think about that pretty lady we sat next to earlier, I don't blame him." Sano said smirking.

Karou was about to say something but Kenshin shushed them quickly "Do you hear that?" Kenshin asked looking around.

"Yeah sounds like some crying and yelling." Kenshin said looking down the dirt path; they heard a rustle and turned around.

*With Kagome and Yasuo*

Kagome gulped she glanced at Yasuo she quickly punched the man that was holding him.

"Run, Yasuo and don't turn back!" Kagome yelled she yelped when she felt a stinging pain across her face.

Yasuo whimpered and ran as fast as he could through the forest and up it until he saw the road when he reached to top of the path he turned and saw the group him and momma sat with. 'They could help his momma!' Yasuo thought happily.

Yasuo ran to them through the bushes and stopped in front of the red- headed man.

"You were with Kagome- dono, where's your mother Yasuo?" Kenshin asked gently when he saw Yasuo's eyes tear up.

"You're a swordsman like my daddy right?" Yasuo asked his eyes begged for an answer.

Kenshin nodded "Yes I am, why do ask?" Kenshin asked his eyebrows furrowing.

"My momma's in trouble this big old men are hurting my momma, momma helped me escape, I went looking for help." Yasuo said quickly waving his hands in the air with panic in his eyes.

"Calm down, take me to her I'll help." Kenshin said seriously his eyes narrowing.

Yasuo led them to Kagome when they got there they saw Kagome on the ground trying to stand up and she had several bruises, a bloody lip, and a couple of deep cut and several shallow cuts.

"You'll pay you pathetic slut!" The leader yelled angrily glaring at Kagome who was wobbly getting on her feet.

"That wasn't very nice." Kenshin said glaring angrily he quickly ran towards him.

The man quickly punched Kagome and pulled out a knife and tried to stab her to at least kill her; Kenshin quickly dispatched them then went to Kagome's side helping her to her knees.

"Karou go get Megumi- dono so that she can check her wounds." Kenshin said not taking his eyes off Kagome; he then picked her up then looking down at Yasuo.

"Could you show me to your home so I could put her down?" Kenshin said, Yasuo nodded.

Yasuo led them to him and his momma's home the walk was quite but something ate at Kenshin, he needed to know what happened to Yasuo's father. He looked down at Kagome to find that she was asleep.

"Yasuo what happened to your father?" Kenshin asked looking at the little boy; Yasuo frowned then looked at the dirt.

"My daddy died he go really sick on his night of weakness," Yasuo said tears whelping in his eyes ", I wish my daddy was alive so that no one will pick on momma."

Kenshin just nodded then watched his reaction; Yasuo's face was upset and seem affected at all he just kept leading them to his home.

"Good is to Evil, Evil is to Good, To live is to die, To die is to live, Pure becomes impure, Impure becomes Pure." Yasuo sang smiling walking down the path; they saw a small hut that had ivy growing on the side of the wall.

"What kind of song is that?" Karou asked frowning at the little boy.

Yasuo glared at Karou and shrugged "I heard people in my old village singing it; it was easy to remember so know I sing it, momma doesn't mind so that means I can sing it." Yasuo said then leading them in the house to his mother's room.

Kenshin placed Kagome on her futon carefully so he wouldn't hurt her any further. Kagome smiled at him gratefully.

"Sorry to cause you all trouble, how can I repay you?" Kagome asked looking up at Kenshin with sincerity in her eyes.

"It's no problem just rest tomorrow we will be back to check on you." Kenshin said calmly pulling the covers on her.

"You don't have to do that! I'll be okay thank you for all that you have done." Kagome said hurriedly trying to get up she winced when she felt a sharp pain.

"None sense you still need help and need to heal don't worry when I'm over here I'll watch over Yasuo- kun for you; no go to sleep and rest up I'll put Yasuo- kun to bed for you." Kenshin said giving her a soft smile.

Kagome sighed and gave up "very well I guess there is no saying no." Kagome finally agreed then drifted to sleep.

Kenshin smiled and got up and went to find Yasuo he saw Yasuo in his room he walked over and patted his head fondly. "It's time for you to go to bed, I told your mother that I'd put you to bed for her." Kenshin said gentle.

Yasuo merely nodded then crawled into his worn futon Kenshin knelt down and pulled the covers to his chin.

"Goodnight Yasuo- kun." Kenshin said softly and quietly.

"Goodnight Kenshin- sama." Yasuo said sleepily then he drifted off Kenshin smiled and patted his head gentle. He stood up and left quietly with the others following, Kaoru glared at the hut in jealousy she turned on her heels and ran to catch up determined to win Kenshin and not loose over a widow.

I hope you loved it.
