The Inu's Child
By: SGSI hope I'm doing the right thing. Inuyasha thought as he jumped down the bone eaters well the next night. After feeling the usual sensation of air rushing past his face he landed gently on the ground on the other side. He climbed out of the well and looked around at the dark room. I am doing the right thing.
He moved quickly to the house and went in through the bedroom window, finding a sleeping Kagome and a cradle holding a tiny baby. Moving toward the cradle, he became afraid again. What would he see when he looked in? Would his baby be like him? Or would he be... be normal?
"Inuyasha." Kagome's voice made him jump and he turned to look at her. She was sleeping. Is she dreaming about me again? He wondered as he looked at her. She was beautiful, just like he remembered. Long silky black hair, ruffed in her fitful sleep he leaned over her and brushed it out of her eyes. Resisting the urge to kiss her, he turned back to the cradle and looked in. What he saw took his breath away.
Was it really possible for anything to be that beautiful? He had a tiny patch of jet-black hair and his wide-open eyes were an amber-gold. He looked strait into the eyes that perfectly matched him own and gave his daddy a baby smile. The dog-demon was awestruck, how could he have had a hand in creating something so perfect? He touched the baby's cheek with one long nailed finger.
"What's you're name little one?" He whispered. "I wish I knew. You're have to be the most beautiful person I've ever met apart from your mother." He leaned down to kiss the baby's cheek, Kagome stirred. Inuyasha looked from her to his baby. "I have to go little one. Goodbye." And as he disappeared out the window the baby began to cry. He restrained himself from going back in and was contented to sitting on the roof right above the window. He heard Kagome get out of bed and go to the baby.
"Shhhh... it's okay Suteinu. What's the matter are you hungry?" Inuyasha sat on the roof of the house listening to all her baby talk as she nursed his son. Suteinu. So that's his name, it's perfect. He waited until he heard Kagome to back to sleep and climbed down to go back to his own time. As he entered the building that housed the bone eaters well he looked back to the house.
"Be strong my loves." He whispered as he went back down the well.
On the other side
"So. You did go see them!" A childish voice rang out the moment Inuyasha pulled himself out of the well.
"What the hell!?!" He sputtered. "Shippo! What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you to get back." The tiny demon said as though that was obvious.
"Can't a guy just be left alone?" He mutter as he walked away, Shippo ran to catch up.
"Well?" Shippo demanded.
"Well what?"
"What did she say!?!"
"None of your business..."
"Well then what's the baby like?" Inuyasha smiled.
"He's perfect." Shippo fell back and let Inuyasha walk on before scurrying off to the village.
"Won't Mirkou be surprised."
