Later in that evening, his body glowed, transforming back, slowly eyelids open as violet slitted eyes glowed in the dark, sitting upright his blanket slid on his waist while wet cloth from his forehead fell on the blanket, soaking some part of it. Pale chest was seen as his form was clothed in simple yukata while black obi tied on his waist, stretching his hand and flexing his clawed fingers whilst his eyes followed every moment, testing them before rising up on his feet.

Extending his right arm to slide open the window, the moonlight shines through his room before it highlights his physique while long silver-white hair glides on his back, suddenly creating his foxfire before throwing them out after whispering words.

"Find her"

Groggy from waking up early, her form sluggish from the warmth on her futon. Glancing back, catching her son sleeping soundlessly on his chest, hands reaching for the blanket to cover him before silently sliding the door open and venturing outside.

Wrapping her arms around her shoulder from the morning cold air, she checks her herbs and vegetables planted in her backyard, not noticing violet-slitted eyes following her form. Sensing another presence watching her, she looked around before blue eyes met violet slitted pupils, gaping at him - his face caught her attention, such a handsome male.

"Umm… who are you?"

Smiling at her before curtsying, his hair slid on his shoulder whilst his fluffy tail swayed on the right, while fox ears were pointed in her direction.

"I, thank you, Ma'am for helping me recover"

"Eh? T-that was you?"

"Hai"

Summoning a small fan to cover his lower face, blocking his grinning at the comical expression on her face - looking like a fish with her eyes wide and mouth open and closed repeatedly.

Realizing the situation, her face flushed deeper into her neck from embarrassment before clenching and unclenching her fist, striding forward she came face to face with him and smiled brightly.

"Oh, that! Don't mention it, my son found you injured in the woods and asked me to help you. By the way, has your body healed already? Do you still experience pain? Errr…"

"My name is Tomoe, a fox youkai and yes, it was healed already and no. If there's something you want or need, feel free to tell me. I want to repay you for your kindness"

Blank face met his eyes upon his request, then, suddenly her face went flushed whilst her blue eyes shone, biting her lower lip and before looking at him coyly.

"Then…"

"Then?"

"Tomoe, co-could I touch your ears?"

Surprised by her request, he nodded at her, seeing her extend both hands reaching towards his head whilst bowing for her to reach for his ear. Petting his ears, made him relaxed, his eyes half-lidded looking down the floor before a certain spot was scratched which aroused him for a certain, snapping his violet slitted eyes wide before straightening his body abruptly. Arms hanging freely as she was shocked by his sudden movement.

"I.. I'm sorry, did I hurt you? I just like petting cute things"

"No Ma'am"

'Although it did bring another sensation on it'

"Oh, I'm sorry I never introduced myself. My name is Kagome Higurashi, you can just call me Kagome"

"Okay Kagome"

Noise twitched at the salty aroma behind the door, hearing her sobbed clutching her son - which was surprisingly another full fox youkai, getting the whole story behind it, never expecting a human to adopt a demon and a demon calling a human, mother.

Flashback

After her request, he told him that he already repaid her which left him dumbfounded. Shaking his head, he insisted that he would at least repay her noble for helping him instead of letting him die from blood loss.

Nevertheless, she argued with him that he doesn't owe her and it was just the right thing to do, feeling lack about it he stated that he would stay with her for a longer period of time - if ask until when, he doesn't know the answer to that, offering his protection not knowing she was a powerful miko as he felt no energy from her. After their arguments, the deal was done despite it being one-sided, before convincing her that he doesn't have a place to stay. Tomoe senses an unknown youki approaching them fast while Kagome knows full well who was coming in their direction.

Appearing in front of them was a hanyou wearing an all over red outfit while white long hair and ears indicating his half heritage unlike his.

"Inuyasha"

"Keh, wench"

Yellow eyes look upon him, before snarling, his hands grasping a large sword, dashing forward at him.

"WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEAR KAGOME?!"

"Inuyasha, wait!"

Releasing a wind scar towards his direction, his fingers started to spark as foxfire produced from them. Crouching, preparing to leapt at the hanyou, when a pink sphere dome suddenly appeared in front of them. Looking at the culprit, his eyes widened at the woman whose whole body was outlined with the same color as the dome - not sensing her.

"Enough! Inuyasha, why did you come here?"

Sharp blue eyes darted towards the shocked hanyou- scoffing at her before sheathing Tetsusaiga and facing her with arm crossed on his chest, her barrier still intact.

"Well, wench I've come here to fetch you and get you back home"

Her hands clenched in fist tightly, knuckles going white at the pressure, while her body began to shake at the audacity she heard from him - dictating her.

'How dare he?! After leaving me for 2 years, he came back just to say that?!'

Her fringe covering her dark blue eyes, glaring behind it, power rose with her ire, when the door slid as someone went outside, peeking emerald eyes.

"Mama?"

"Oi runt! We're going home!"

Little paws run towards her, clutching her navy blue hakama before lifting his head.

"Mama, what is he talking about?"

"It's nothing, Shippo-chan"

Glancing at Inuyasha, eyes still glaring.

"No, we ARE staying here! You don't tell me what to do, and you're rude to my patient"

"Keh, I don't care! Both of you will be coming with me"

Turning yellow eyes to violet ones, raising his hand to point his index finger at him, glaring.

"You! You better scram, bastard!"

"Inuyasha"

His ears folded at her tone, weary eyes looked at her - that tone was not good. Violet slitted eyes watch the scene unfold in front of him, seeing the blank look of Kagome.

"Inuyasha, stop deciding for me. You have no reason to stay here anymore and you have no right anymore - ever since you choose her. You are NOT my husband NOR my father! And don't call me MY son, runt again or else!"

Lifting her son in her arms, addressing Tomoe.

"Tomoe-san, I'm sorry for this, it's okay for you to leave I won't stop you"

Turning her back on Inuyasha, started walking as her right foot stepped forward before a voice stopped her from going inside her hut, glancing back.

"Keh, I did the right thing ain't I? Kikyo is better than you, she's a better priestess than you and can shoot an arrow properly unlike you, she easily finds the jewel on our journey to defeat Naraku."
