Kagome sat next to InuYasha, their hanyou daughter cradled in her arms. She had pitch black hair, black dog ears, her mother's skin tone, brilliant amber eyes, and tiny, immature claws and fangs. It had been 3 years since they had collected all the Shikon no Kakera. They had all settled down, and Kagome and InuYasha had a child. Kagome watched Koyuki with a loving gaze. (A/n: Koyuki is their daughter, if you're too dense to guess that.) InuYasha watched her with a strong and protective, yet loving gaze. Kagome looked up at InuYasha and kissed him on the cheek. His ears perked up in surpise for a moment, but he quickly calmed. Kagome pulled back and stared at InuYasha. He returned her loving stare and rested his arm across her shoulders. Kagome smiled at him and leaned her head on his. Kagome had decided to stay with InuYasha, now that Naraku was dead and the Shikon no Tama was complete.
"I'm glad, InuYasha. If I hadn't stayed, I would have to return to my old life. Now, we have Koyuki, and I have you." Kagome said lovingly.
"I promise to protect you, Kagome, and Koyuki. I won't let anyone or thing harm you two. I couldn't stand to see either of you die." InuYasha stated. Kagome nodded and began to drift to sleep. It was mid-day, but she felt rather tired. She began to drift to sleep, when Koyuki let out a racking cough and she wheezed. She snapped her eyes open and looked down at her daughter. InuYasha was watching with a worried gaze. After he promised to protect her, he knew he couldn't protect her from illnesses. InuYasha quickly brought over Kagome's medicine. He figured her future medicines would be able to help somehow. Kagome pulled some acetaminophen from her bag and gave it to Koyuki. All it did was quiet her wheezes and coughs.
"We should probably take her to a docter beyond the well. She has a high fever, and what I gave her won't help much." Kagome stated. InuYasha stood, and helped Kagome to her feet. He walked outside and saw Kouga. He sadly glared at the wolf.
"Yo," Kouga said simply. Kagome soon walked out after InuYasha, Koyuki in her arms.
"What do you want Kouga?" Kagome asked, her tone filled with sadness. Kouga heard Kagome's sadness and felt the depression from InuYasha's glare.
"... I was just coming to check up on you guys. What's wrong?" Kouga asked. He was there to pick a fight, but now felt guilty. Kagome held out her pale, ill daughter. 'She had InuYasha's pup...?!' Kouga screamed in his mind.
"We have to go. Sorry, Kouga." Kagome mumbled. InuYasha knelt over for Kagome to get onto his back. She did so, carefully holding Koyuki.
"Hold onto Koyuki, Kagome." InuYasha commanded as he prepared to break into a sprint. Kagome nodded held Koyuski close to her. InuYasha broke into a sprint and ran towards the well. He carefully let Kagome and Koyuki down. They lept down the well, and InuYasha followed in. "Mama..." Kagome cried into the house. Mrs. Higurashi walked out from the kitchen.
"What is it, Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi asked. She saw Koyuki and her expression changed to surprise. She didn't know Kagome had a child, and it shocked her a bit. The acetaminophen had already worn off, and Koyuki was wheezing again. Mrs.Higurashi's eyes filled with tears at the sick child.
"She's really sick. We don't know what's wrong." Kagome stated, her voice shaky. InuYasha's ears drooped with depression and he stared at the ground.
'I swore to protect her... But there's nothing I can do against this kind of threat.' InuYasha thought.
"You should probably take her to the hospital..." Mrs. Higurashi said. Kagome flinched at her own mother's words. She sighed and pulled the top of the blanket from Koyuki's head, revealing her limp dog ears. Mrs. Higurashi knew that would be a problem. In a world of humans, the sight of a being with partially demon blood wouldn't be accepted. "I'll come with you, to see if it at all helps the situation." Mrs. Higurashi continued. Kagome nodded and covered her child's head, again.
