The little half demon child watched kagome pass out from her spot in the shadows. Her golden eyes narrowed, trying to study every little detail. It had cost her everything to get back to this moment. If she was careful, she might be able to change everything for the better. She smoothed out her black poofy tail subconsciously. She followed closely behind them, making sure to not be seen by either kagome or inuyasha.
Kagome awoke a while later, her vision still swimming as she sat up quickly. Inuyasha let out a concerned growl. "Fuck, bitch! Be careful! I dont want you to hurt yourself! Take it easy!" Kagome glared at him, running her hand over her forehead in frustration. "I'm fine inuyasha. Im not breakable." Inuyasha snorted. "Whatever you say. Even Ai said you are overdoing everything." Kagome sighed. "Are you just going to sit here and lecture me or what?" Inuyasha sighed as well, helping her to her feet. "Wouldnt do any good. You're a stubborn bitch." Kagome shot him another glare. "Hmmm...where did i pick that up from?" She said thoughtfully in mock wonder. A giggle sounded out from the window and Inuyasha sprang to it quickly, grabbing a little half demon girl with black dog ears that were currently laid back in fear, and a black poofy tail tucked between her legs. He dumped her down in front of kagome. The little girl looked up at her in amazement. Was this really her? She was so beautiful. Her gaze drifted to inuyasha whose eyes were narrowed at her in suspicion. He sure was exactly how her adopted brother had described him. She turned her gaze back to kagome. "I'm sorry mo- i mean...im sorry kagome... i didnt mean to eavesdrop on you and da-i mean...inuyasha..." kagome looked at her closely. She reminded her of someone... "who are you?" Kagome finally asked after a moment. The little girl shifted nervously. "My name is Hayami. My...my mother gave me that name right before she..." she swallows heavily, pushing back tears. "My mom didnt make it past childbirth you see, and my dad... well, he...he was killed trying to protect my mom when she wasnt very far along with me..." her gaze drifts to inuyasha once again before kagome gets her attention. "So...youre an orphan?" Kagome asked in empathy. Hayami nodded. "My adopted brother raised me. Hes taken care of me for as long as i can remember. He wasnt very old either when we lost our parents, but he wouldnt give me to anyone else. He said it was the best decision of his life." Inuyashas eyes were still narrowed as he studied her. Kagome turned to inuyasha suddenly. "Inuyasha? Can we talk in private?" She asked softly. Inuyasha nodded and followed her outside into the hallway. Kagome shifted nervously. "Can we take her with us? I feel like i know her, and there is something inside me that feels really bad about leaving her alone." Inuyasha sighed, rubbing his head. "Well...geez kagome, we already have a pup on the way and shippo at home...do you really want to take on a third?" Kagome clutched at his shirt, tears springing to her eyes. "Please inuyasha! She needs us!" Inuyasha grumbled, patting her on the back. "Fine! She can come back to the village with us if she wants and we will take it from there." Kagome smiled and kissed him, running back into the room to tell hayami the news. Inuyasha grumbled under his breath before following. "Stupid pregnancy mood swings..."
