A young boy with blond hair walked slowly into a village. He was holding his right arm with his left hand, seemingly lost and confused as he staggered on to the middle of the village, many villagers starring at him. His right arm was covered in blond and part of the bone was protruding from the skin. No one had ever seen this boy, his blond hair hung down over his eyes as he starred at the ground, limping slightly. Otherwise it stuck up, except on places matted with crimson blood. He stopped suddenly as a man jumped in front of him, blocking his path. The boy looked up, reviling sky-blue eyes filled with confusion and pain, sorrow and betrayal, intrust and fear. So many emotions shown in his eyes, the man couldn't stop looking. Finally the boy slowly fell to his knees, closing his eyes and gasping slightly. The man, a silver-haired man with dog ears, knelt down and saw the boy grasp his arm tighter, spiting up a bit of blood before fainting in the middle of the village he'd been trying to get though. A black-haired girl walked up with him.

"What happened?" She asked, the man shrugged, turning to her.

"He fainted from blood loss I guess, he's pretty beat up." He said picking the boy up. "I'll take him to Kaede." The man said simply, carrying the boy away. Over the next few days the boy's injures healed quickly, but his arm and a deep slash on his stomach refused to heal. After a full week the boy slowly opened his eyes, sniffing the air slightly as he did. The first thing he saw was a strange boy with fox ears and tail.

"Hey, he's waking up." The fox/boy yelled. The blond cringed slightly at the sudden voice and tried to sit up, falling back down in pain. He looked over as the silver-haired man and black-haired girl came over. One look at the girl and he started whimpering and trying to get back up. The silver-haired man having to hold his shoulders down.

"Take it easy, you're hurt." He said, the boy calmed and grabbed his wrist with his good hand, whimpering and keeping his eyes on the girl. "It's okey, she won't hurt you. This is my friend, Kagome. I'm Inuyasha and this is Shippo." The boy nodded slightly, not letting go of his wrist. A sudden red glow surrounded him and the bone of his right arm mended itself. The gash on his stomach vanishing as if it had never been there.

"I'm Naruto." The boy said slowly, he seemed to struggle to speak,. His voice sounded like it hadn't been used in years, if ever.

"Take it easy." Inuasha said as Naruto sat up and looked around. He was in a hut, that was all he knew. He slowly stood up and walked to where Inuyasha was sitting, crawling into Inuyasha's lap and snuggling against his chest. "You're a half bread?" Naruto nodded slowly, looking very fragile.

"Where're your parents?" Kagome asked looking at the young one.

"They both died, the day I was born." Naruto whispered, still having trouble. Inuyasha gently picked him up and carried him outside.

"Where're you going?" Kagome asked running after them.

"To the forest, he's getting nervus." Inuyasha said before running into the forest, leaving Kagome and Shippo behind. "You're weak, you never drank demon milk before have you?" Inuyasha asked calmly, setting in a high branch of the tree he'd been pined to for 50 years. Naruto gently shook his head, holding the front of Inuyasha's kimono to keep from falling. "Myoga, can you see if there are any female's around willing to help?" The flea jumped in shock and held Inuyasha's kimono as well.

"They could eat me, besides we may not need a female. I've heard rumors that some male demons can give milk, just not birth. It's even more common in half breads, so maybe you could." Myoga said, always the cowered. Naruto looked up in surprise, thinking abought what he'd heard. Inuyasha shrugged and pulling his Kimono down slowly, holding Naruto with one hand to keep him from falling.

"Here, see if you get anything." Inuyasha said, Naruto nodded and gently started sucking on the exposed flesh, gasping as a small amount of milk entered his mouth. He smiled and closed his eyes, sucking a bit harder. Inuyasha smiled and put his hand on the back of Naruto's head, carefully keeping the younger from falling.

"Are you sure giving him demon's milk is a good idea sir, what if he turns on us?" Myoga asked, whispering.

"He's weak Myoga, he needs his strength. He is still an infant in demon years. I trust him, besides, it'll be fun taking care of him." Inuyasha whispered back, Naruto just kept drinking, oblivious to the conversation.

"Shall we tell the others?" Myoga asked looking at the little one in Inuyasha's lap.

"Not just yet. They might worry abought me raising him. Then they'd take him from me." Inuyasha said gently scratching Naruto behind the human ears. He looked up when he smelled a very familiar scent, growling slightly and making Naruto look up. Naruto clearly thought he'd done something wrong. "It's okey Naruto, it's not you. Keep drinking, I smelled something, that's all." Naruto nodded and went back to his meal, Inuyasha looking around to find the source. He saw a wolf demon running through the forest; Koga. Repressing the growl he held Naruto close and watched the wolf demon pass. Naruto looked up at him, eyes heavy, before falling asleep again with a yawn. Inuyasha looked down at him after Koga had passed and smiled, pulling his Kimono up and making his way home.

"Sir, way did we simply hide from Koga?" Myoga asked looking up at Inuyasha.

"I didn't want him to see Naruto just now, or what we were doing. He'd probably claim Naruto was mine and tell Kagome, trying to steal her out of our non-existent relationship." Inuyasha said calmly, he slowly walked into Kaede's hut and put Naruto down, covering him up and letting him sleep.
