~Chapter 2~

"Mommy, daddy today's the day!" Shashiko said happily as she pounced her mother and father in their bed. Inuyasha sat straight up eyes wide. He still hadn't gotten used to sleeping completely. All those years of hunting down the shards he hadn't slept in fear a demon would sneak up on them. Kagome simply sat up after feeling Inuyasha jerk from her arms. She rubbed her eyes and with a sweet smile picked up Shashiko and cradled her in her arms. Shashiko is a little over four years old now and today Kagome and Inuyasha planned to take her to the village to see the family she never knew. Inuyasha got out of bed and gently took his little girl from Kagome. "Want to go get breakfast first?" He asked her. "OK" Shashiko said with the same sweet smile she inheritated from her mother. Shashiko jumped onto Inuyasha's back and they set off towards the river. Kagome also got out of bed when they left and headed out into her herb garden she tended to. She took her time pickins varies herbs to make different medicines for there trip(just in case).
(meanwhile with Inuyasha and Shashiko) "Shashiko you'll never catch one if you keep scaring them away." Inuyasha scolded the little hanyou as she happily splashed in the water. 'I'm glad she will never know the pain of never having someone love her. That is if I have anything to do with it.' He told himself under his breath. "OK, Shashiko let's head for home" "OK"
