I'm glad people like the story so far. I'm sorry the chapters are fairly short, but some of them might turn out kind of long as well. It depends on the timeline for it I suppose. Enjoy.


"Well kid, here goes nothing." She took a deep breath and readjusted the sleeping child. "Hey! Sesshomaru, I'm back!" She heard movement behind her and turned with a smile to see the white-haired demon. He managed a step towards her before what she was carrying registered in his mind. He turned a glare to her.

"What is that?"

"This is a baby. His name is Naruto and I'm going to be his mother." Her smile faltered when Sesshomaru looked at the child in disdain. She sighed. "Don't be angry. He's our son now so-"

"That is not my child."

"Well, not technically, but we could-"

"No. Take it back."

"I can't do that! He'll die! And I all ready adopted him… Just give him a chance."

"You leave for over two years and then expect me to accept the idea of you bringing back a child? A human child no less."

"Like it would have mattered if he was demon. Besides, I was on the other side. Demons are scarce there."

"It matters not. I will not have him here."

"Well I will so you're just going to have to get over it. If it makes it any better there's a demon sealed inside of him." She shifted as Naruto started to wake, soon beginning to cry. "Oh, don't cry little one. What's wrong? Are you hungry? Sesshomaru, can you grab a bottle out of this bag?" She turned, revealing a full backpack.

"No." He almost turned away when she looked at him sadly. "… What bottle?"

"Any of the one's that are full." He handed it to her and she coaxed Naruto until he was happily sucking away. "Thank you."

"You're keeping it."

"Him. Naruto. And yes, I am. It could be nice to have him around. When Rin married and left, it got very quiet. He could liven things up." She smiled down at the boy, taking the empty bottle away. "Besides, he's adorable and-"

"Why did you bring him here?"

"Where else would I have taken him?"

"You tell me. You have no problem leaving after all."

"Ouch… Sesshomaru… Please, I promised his father I'd take care of him if anything happened. His father and mother died just after he was born and he was almost killed by some idiots that can't accept him."

"Why would you promise that?"

"Because Minato was my friend… He found me when I first went over there."

"Found?" Risa squirmed under his gaze before sighing and slumping to the ground.

"I will tell you if you promise to be nice to Naruto and not be angry with me keeping him. You don't have to be his father." Sesshomaru was silent before nodding.

"Agreed."

"… I was dying. I went over to the other side because of the rotting disease. I didn't want you to see it happen so I left. Minato found me and took me to his village where he had a medic look me over. Surprisingly they could heal me."

"You had that? You are immortal though."

"I know, but just because I come back, doesn't mean I wouldn't have 'died'. I still would have wasted away to nothing and it was going to take me a few years to return to life because my body would have to rebuild. A nasty disease that one."

"You should have told me." He knelt next to her as she shook her head.

"I couldn't." He lifted her chin up to look her in the eyes.

"I am glad you are well now." He stood, pulling her up as well. "As promised, the boy can stay."

"Thank you." She smiled and pulled his head down a bit to kiss him. "And don't worry; I got a quick run-through on how to take care of him."

"Risa, why not just have your own child?"

"… We've been mated for almost sixty years Sesshomaru. You tell me."


Hope you liked it.
