I know that most people would rather this be an update for The Princess and the Pup. I can only say I'm sorry it's been so long but I'm at a writer's block I'll get through soon.

"Inuyasha," Kagome started. "I'll be back in two days. Now you promise you'll stay here?"
Inuyasha's characteristic arrogant smug donned his face. "You know me, Kagome. I just can't go on without you here. How will I ever convince myself to get out of bed?"
Kagome knew Inuyasha was speaking the truth even though it was with his sarcastic tone. She just smiled back at him.
"I'll see you in just two short days." Kagome gave him a quick kiss and jumped down the well. The blue light that shined from out of it proved to the half-demon that Kagome was back in her era.
Inuyasha took a quick peek down the well. It always worried him when she jumped down the well. Kagome is strong but the well is deep and a fall from this height could seriously hurt a human. It almost killed him when he pushed her down the well when Naraku was still alive.
The half-demon gulped. He wanted so much to chase her into her time. It hurt him when she was far from him; imagine what being hundreds of years in the future did to him.
"I hope she's okay." Inuyasha sighed sadly. Kagome had been looking pale the last few days and had vomited just a couple of days before.
The half-demon had suspicions that she has gone to the future to see the doktors she has talked about before.
I bet you're pretty happy right now aren't you. You have another two days that you don't have to worry about her finding out you secret. His conscience has chosen the perfect time to show its head once again.
Gods, please not right now. My Kagome is gone to her odd era and she might be sick. Please, don't bother me now. Inuyasha nearly pleaded.
Inuyasha started back towards Ooyami Village as he argued with himself. He didn't need to look where he was going because he knew the forest named after him like the back of his hand.
Inuyasha, what good is it doing you keeping this secret to yourself. You know that Kagome will bring up children sooner or later. I bet she's already thinking about it but doesn't want to bring it up since you just were "wed" as she says.
Inuyasha was quiet for a moment to let his words sink in. He brought his footsteps to a halt, closed his eyes, and took in a deep breath.
"You're right." Inuyasha spoke aloud. He opened his eyes which flashed with adamancy. The half-demon clenched his hand so hard his claws drew blood from the bottom of his palm. "When Kagome comes back…I will tell her."
"Dad!" The half-demon heard a young voice yell. "Dad, where are you!"
Oh, it's Shippo. I guess he was starting to worry about me.
Soon the youthful fox demon child came into to view. Inuyasha had to sneak up behind him and scare him before they started the walk back.
"I do not know why I'm still scared when you sneak up from behind me." Shippo complained, throwing his hands into the air. "I mean it happens every damn day."
"You better not let Kagome hear you talk like that or I'll get 'sit' so bad." Inuyasha shivered at the thought causing Shippo to giggle. "Now promise me you'll never, ever, ever talk like that in front of Kagome."
"I promise!" Shippo cheered happily, not believing he wasn't in trouble. "It'll be out secret."
"Ya, our secret." Inuyasha feared his voice revealed the grief in his head.
Yet another secret; you only have to worry about him telling. We know you're good at keeping them.
Shut up. I told you I'd tell Kagome.
The trip back to the village was silent the rest of the way besides for a rare giggle from Shippo.
/Two days later…/
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Shippo chimed like one of those alarm clocks Kagome spoke of.
"I'm getting up." Inuyasha said to get Shippo off his back.
"Come on, you have to go get Mom." Shippo continued to be a nuisance.
"Shippo, you should get off of me right now." Inuyasha threatened with every word through gritted teeth. The fox demon quickly complied.
After that Inuyasha had little trouble getting on his way to well. Last time Shippo waited for them at the well he was almost eaten. Needless to say he now waits at the village.
You going to tell her, aren't you? His conscience asked of him.
Get off my shoulder. I'm going to tell her and hopefully get rid of your irritating presence.
Inuyasha had gotten to the well sooner then he had expected. With a final deep breath he got ready to jump down the well.
"Hello?" A voice startled him. "Is anyone there?"
"Kagome?" Inuyasha called out before looking down the well which confirmed his inquiry.
"Hey Inuyasha, could you help me out?" Kagome asked.
"Sure." He replied. The half-demon quickly jumped down and got Kagome. "Hang on."
Inuyasha hopped back to land and set down Kagome.
"Thanks Inuyasha."
I've got to tell her.
Inuyasha opened his mouth before he was interrupted.
"Inuyasha, I have something very important to tell you." Kagome started, much to Inuyasha surprise.
"Well I also have…" He was only able to begin when Kagome started again.
"Inuyasha, I…" Kagome gulped. "Inuyasha, I'm pregnant."
Needless to say it took his breath away.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said frightfully, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
As soon as he had come to his senses he embraced Kagome tightly.
"I'm so happy." Inuyasha told Kagome, his voice cracking as he too began to form tears.
Kagome hugged him back just as tight.
"Me too, Inuyasha." Kagome responded joyfully. "It's a miracle isn't it?"
You have no idea.
Months passed and Kagome had the baby. It had been a baby girl which they named Kiseki.
One night whilst everyone else was asleep, Inuyasha had a little conversation with Myouga.
"Myouga, you lied to me!" Inuyasha shouted loud enough to scare the flea but not loud enough to wake anyone. "You told me half-demons couldn't have children."
"Sire please!" Screamed Myouga while stuck in between Inuyasha index and middle finger. "I didn't lie to you! This has never happened before! It's just some other unexplainable things in life."
Inuyasha was silent for a moment before setting down Myouga.
"I believe you, but that still doesn't explain anything." Inuyasha argued.
"If I may be as so bold as to ask, what exactly is baby Kiseki?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Sire, don't get the wrong idea!" The flea retorted horrified. "I mean, is she a demon, half, or human?"
"Well, she's human." Inuyasha said, the obvious answer in his face.
"Then Kiseki must have been conceived when you were human." The flea said, proud of himself finding the answer. "I told you Master Inuyasha! I would never lie to you!"
"Okay, you were right. Now beat it you little parasite." Inuyasha demanded. Myouga gave him a offended look before complying.
Inuyasha made his way back into his home. Kagome slept quietly in their bed where right next to her slept Kiseki in her 'crib.' Her father picked her up gingerly. She looked just like Kagome except her eyes and hair which she inherited from Inuyasha.
Inuyasha held her close but was sure not to wake her.
I don't care how you came into this world. I'm just you did, Kiseki. You're daddy's little girl.
Well, I guess I was wrong. I owe you an apology.
Just beat it. Inuyasha thought.
Inuyasha set down Kiseki softly. Smiling as he did so.
You're my miracle, Kiseki.
I hope you liked it, and if you didn't you can bite me. Just kidding. Sheesh.
Sidenote: As you might had guessed, from the translations sources I have, Kiseki is Japanese for miracle.
