The Inu's child

By: SGS

Kagome sat in her room a broken woman. Her tear had stopped hours ago, but her heart still cried. How could they do this to me? They said they'd protect him, keep him safe instead they took him away and sold him to some University.

It had been three months since she had last seen her baby. She had taken him to a small private clinic that had promised her they'd take good care of him. In stead they made a big production out of it. They'd had the government take him always and they sold him to the highest paying bidder. Kagome was in the middle of a legal battle with the state to get her baby back, a battle she didn't think she could win.

They had told so many lies about her, said she had abused Suteinu, everything from physically hurting him to giving him his name out of spite. They didn't know his name was a memory of his father. The papers called him dog-child, the courts called him no name, Kagome called him Suteinu. While all she could do was pray those evil people were doing God-know what to her baby.

They used lies to trick the judge, lies to trick the jury, lies to trick the papers and the people, but those lies could never trick her heart, and she was afraid. Who knew what would happen to her child if she lost. Would they kill him? Cut him up and examine his DNA? Or would they let him live, in a dark laboratory, never getting to feel the freedom he was born to have?

The people would not stop coming. Some stood outside her home saying she was the devil's child for the 'monster' she had given birth to. A few said she was a savior, sent her to rescue humanity. Some just came to get a look at someone famous. But whatever the reason they came, they stood outside her home yelling and chanting. She cried for these people and their cruelty. She wasn't even sure she could go on....

If only Inuyasha were here, he'd know what to do.

On the Other side of the well...

"Inuyasha are you ever going back to Kagome's time again?" Shippo demanded. "It's been four months, don't you want to see them?"

"Shippo dose have a point Inuyasha," Songo said. "I'd go myself if I could."

"Fe." Inuyasha muttered grumpily. The truth was he did want to go see them but was too afraid. What would Kagome say if he told her she wanted to see the baby? She'd be furious with him; that's what.

"Awww... come on Inuyasha, admit it, you miss her." Shippo chided.

"Shippo's right. Go see her."

"All right. If it'll shut you two up I'll go visit Kagome."

"What are you waiting for then?"

"You mean go...now?"

"YES!" Shippo and Songo shouted together. "Now!" He sighed as he got up and headed out the door. Songo and Shippo smiled. Finally.
