Liger003 ~ Hey! You all did it! ANGEL? GOT 104 REVIEWS! There for, as I promised, I will be writing 3 chappies in one week. This is the first of them, so enjoy. Oh! And don't think that just because I got 100 reviews that I don't want any more reviews . . . sooooooo after this chapter, make sure you review!

To bunny and whoever else noticed the sit thing ~ All I have to say is, whoops, sorry

Bunny ~ OH! YEAH! I totally forgot about him! Well, whoops. Wait, he only collected children's souls, so Inu-Yasha wouldn't have been collected by him. I'll do something about that then . . . *thinking really hard* well, I can't think of anything at the moment, maybe I'll get an idea for him while writing this chapter.

Disclaimer ~ Yes, the disclaimer's back in action ~ I do not own Inu-Yasha and co, cause then I wouldn't be writing fanfiction, I'd be writing the real thing! You know what else? Why would anyone want to sue someone just because they are writing a fanfiction? It only shows how much you like their anime. SO I DO NOT OWN INU-YASHA AND CO.

Angel?

Chapter seventeen ~ Only Death is Fair

Inu-Yasha was shocked with the way the pillow-like things had acted. "Hey, Grim, what were those?"

"What was what?" She asked. She had been to busy explaining to Kagome everything to even notice what Inu-Yasha had been doing.

"It was a white puffy thing. It talked." Inu-Yasha told her.

"Oh, that must have been a lost soul. There are quite a few in here. They will all get to where they are meant to be soon enough." Grim told him.

"Feh." Inu-Yasha watched as the colors softened and faded away.

"We're here." Grim told him as she saw the colors open into a room. The room was small and in the middle of it was a futon that had a small child in it. "There she is." Grim pointed to the little girl.

"What? She's the soul that we are here to get?" Kagome asked in shock, and Grim nodded. "She's just a little kid! She shouldn't have died! She should still have a long time to live!"

"It is her time." Grim kept her hood down and walked over to her body. Grim rested her paw on the child's shoulder, and the soul started to come out of her body.

"Wait! That's not fair! A young child should not have to die!" Kagome told Grim frantically.

"Death is the only thing that is fair." Grim told her. There was no emotion in her voice at all, and her hood covered her face. She was in her complete grim reaper out-fit. Her hood was pulled up and in her paw was her sickle. "Everyone dies sooner or later. No one can escape death, they all die sometime. Even someone who has the power to live forever, their souls will die. Nobody should and nobody will live forever, Even if they do, they will wish that they hadn't and then, their souls will leave them, leaving them just a body with a wish to end their life. Death is the only fair thing in the world. People can get around almost anything else, but death is inevitable. It happens to the good, the bad, the innocent, the guilty, the young and the old. No one escapes it."

"But . . ." Kagome whispered. Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up into the amber eyes of Inu-Yasha.

"She's right, Kagome. Now let her do her job." Inu-Yasha's voice was not hard, but gentle. It wasn't like his normal voice, it had something soft in it, but it wasn't weak, it was strong. If anything, his voice was . . . comforting.

"I don't normally do children; there is normally a demon that collects their souls. But since we have to deal with your tests, he's been working over time to get adults and children. So I am helping him out." Grim then pulled the soul completely out of the body. The soul of the child stood in front of them. She looked at Grim and tears filled her eyes and she began to cry.

"I'm scared. I want my mommy! MOMMY!" She wailed and Grim and Inu- Yasha pressed their ears to their head.

Grim pulled down her hood. "Look, I won't hurt you. I promise." She knelt down and stared into the little girl's eyes. Just then the little girl stopped crying and got a determined look on her face. She ran up to Grim and jumped. Grim shrieked as she felt a tug on her ears.

"KITTY!" the little girl cried. "Kitty ears!"

Grim sat there in shock as the little girl continued to pull on her ears. Just then the little girl's eyes grew wide as she looked at Inu-Yasha. She starred jumping up and down. "Puppy! Puppy! Puppy! I wanna touch your ears!"

Inu-Yasha stepped back and covered his ears protectively. "You won't touch my ears!"

Just then tears started to form in the little girl's eyes. They threatened to fall when, "Inu-Yasha. Sit."

"GAH!" Inu-Yasha plummeted to the ground and if he wasn't a soul himself, he would have made a huge dent in the floor. *tug tug* Inu-Yasha looked up into the eyes of the little girl who pulled on his ears with a happy look on her face. Inu-Yasha grumbled the whole time she pulled on them.

Inu-Yasha had pulled himself into his regular sitting style with his legs crossed. He sat getting more and more annoyed as the girl kept pulling on them and pulling on the, soon there would be no more fur left on them. He would have shoved the little girl off, but he knew Kagome and that sit command all to well.

Just then the little girl climbed down from his shoulders and stopped pulling on his ears. Inu-Yasha was at first surprised, but surprised quickly became shock as the little girl climbed into his lap and sat down. She yawned and stretched her arms. She closed her eyes and leaned back against Inu-Yasha's chest and breathed deeply. Before Inu-Yasha knew what was happening, the little girl had fallen asleep.

Kagome stared at this and couldn't resist an, "Aw!"

Grim looked at him, he obviously was in shock, but she could tell, and she knew that Kagome knew it too, he didn't mind having the little girl fall asleep on him. If anything, it kinda looked like he was relived. A smile came to his face and he plucked her out of his lap and cradled her in his arms as he stood up. "Well, what do we do now?"

"I wish I had my camera!" Grim told him. "That was so cute!"

"I would have to have you get me doubles if you had it on you." Kagome looked at Grim.

Inu-Yasha looked annoyed. "What do I do with her?"

"We have to take her back to the castle, and I'll give her over to Death, who'll make sure she gets to heaven." Grim looked at the sleeping child, and decided to tease Inu-Yasha some. "I know you don't want to leave her, but you have to."

"What do you mean? I want to get rid of her as soon as possible! If she keeps pulling on my ears, I think that I will go bald on my ears!" Inu- Yasha tried to convince them, and himself, that he wanted to get rid of the little girl as soon as possible.

"Sure, I believe that one." Grim remarked sarcastically.

"I have to agree with Grim, Inu-Yasha." Kagome looked at him in the eye; she just loved picking on him.

"Oh course I want to get rid of her!"

"Well, let's get going. Thanks for calming her down, Inu-Yasha." Grim told him as she opened the portal of swirling lights. "This will take us back to the castle."

Inu-Yasha followed them into the portal and looked back down at the sleeping child. She was so annoying, but she was cute, too. She reminded him of Shippo, for some reason.
