Kagome had a diary in which she began to note down important moments of her relationship with InuYasha, so that the day their son or daughter were born, said diary could serve them to better tell their story to that little creature.
The diary was titled IKIGAI—"The reason to be".

"The day we met."
I start to read, as I hold our daughter on my lap. She seems happy, her cheeks rosy from the warmth inside our cabin.
"That day, I was on my way to school, as usual, and Buyo, our family's cat, entered our temple's pagoda, where the well was. My brother Souta was quite scared of that place, because it was dismal and smelt to moist. When I went over to help him and found the cat, thinking everything wasn't but my brother's overly active imagination, something pulled at me from inside the bone well." I stop my reading and look at you sideways, as you prepare the food we are going to feed Moroha today.
Every time I heard the way in which you had gone through the well, and how the centipede demon had dragged you in, the story came as almost an adventure, and for me it felt like just another event; this time is plagued by that kind of beings, after all.
" You must have been very scared." I comment, and you observe me, at first just a bit confused, probably because your attention was on your work, then your eyes shine with understanding, andthen you smile at me.
"I did, during that first moment. Just continue, it gets worse." Your smile widens a bit, and I see how your cheeks have also gained a rosy blush much like Moroha's.
I return my gaze to the words.
"After some time walking, the Goshinboku entered my view, and I felt how my heart became agitated. I guess I had to know it was impossible I was still home, in my time, however that very desire made me rush to it, question that very notion..." Here I make a pause.
Of course you must have been scared. Moroha moves on my legs as if she were anxious to know more, and although I know it's impossible for her to reason like that yet, I can't help feeling in love with this little girl that fills my days as much as her mother.
I ready myself to continue.
"I made my way through the bushes as best I could, gnashing my hands and legs, yet despite the pain I never stopped, for I believed everything would find some sort of order once I reached the Sacred Tree; However, what I found there was very different, and albeit back then I couldn't see it for what it was, nor how much it would mean to me... InuYasha was there, sleeping, and covered by branches which also held him against the trunk."
I read the next line in silence, and I look at you again. You smile at me in that beautiful way of yours which fills my chest.
"Continue." You invite me.
"Now that I look back with a perspective of years past, I find that moment to be composed of the purest of magics."
I remain silent. I didn't live this moment, I was still sleeping, yet your words place some sensations in me, and that turns your memory, into mine.
Moroha moves a bit more, and I hear how she makes that characteristic sound of when she has planned to use her diaper.
"Kagome." I warn you.
"I'm sorry, dad, it's your turn."
A/N
I've wanted to begin with another vision of InuYasha's world, as well as Kagome's and now Moroha's. This family deserves to have all the time to enjoy each other.
I hope you've liked it, and that you tell me about it.
Thanks for reading, and keeping me company.
Kisses,
Anyara.
