Saving My Mate

ch 2:Welcome Home

Inuyasha held the phone out of the window of his car while his half brother, Sesshomaru yelled about what his brother explained what he had just found and was now bringing home. He rolled his eyes at how his brother could over react, he was suppose to be the all and mighty Lord Sesshomaru ruler of the Wester provences. And here he was yelling at the top of his lungs at his brother for leting the person near the baby leave without a proper explination. He pulled his cell back into the car as his brother stopped to cetch his breath.

"Sess... look they left a note. I'll let you read it when I get home sense I'm in the drive-way!" Inuyasha then closed his cell with a flick of his wrist. He turned off his car and stuffed his keys into his pocket then turned to the baby in the front seat next to him sound asleep. His face softened and picked her up into his arms and slowly rocked her back and forther in his arms

A toad like creature bownd out of the house as Inuyasha closed his car door and walked slowly towards the door afraid the sleeping baby (haha get it sleeping beauty but baby!... nevermind) in his arms would awaken. The toad ran to Inuyasha's side and gasped at the baby in his second lord's arms. The toad shook his staff at his lord pulling it back to strike him in the head when he was stepped on... by his other lord, Lord Sesshomaru.

"So Inuyasha... this is the baby. It's human," Sesshomaru said sniffing the air over the baby. "Are your going to keep it? I mean it takes up a lot ones time."

"Sess, I'm not going to keep it. I just knew i couldn't leave Kagome out all on her own to fend for her self. I mean that..." Inuyasha was cut off when Sesshomaru held his hand up to silence him.

"Inuyasha, you named it already... See this is exactly what I'm talking about: first you want to keep it, then you name it, and finally... wait what did you say?" Sesshomaru asked his brother as he realized Inuyasha said something he didn't exspect.

"I couldn't leave Kagome out there on her own?" Inuyasha said a little comfused as why Sesshomaru would ask him to repeat something he'd just said.

"No, before that."

"Um... oh you mean I'm not going to keep it?"

":sigh: Alright Inuyasha why did you name it?" Sesshomaru asked as he started walking to towards the house his brother following at a little distance.

"I didn't," Inuyasha replied simply walking past his brother when he stopped from anger.

"Inuyasha, don't tell me you didn't name it when you call it by what ever name you gave it!"

"Kagome."

"What?"

"Her name is Kagome and I didn't give her that name. It was on the note I found next to her."

"Inuyasha..." Sesshomaru said in a dangerous tone,"why exactly did you not tell me about this note?"

"You didn't ask besides I did."

"When?"

"Over the phone when i was in the drive while you were yelling at me for saving a baby's life froom living in the streets all on its own. So when you were yelling at me you didn't realize that I saved a life like dad did with me and mom!" Inuyasha said his eyes flashing a red when he turned to face his brother from the stairs. He was about to turn heal and put the baby in his bed but when his brother grabbed his sleave almost causing him to drop the baby. "Watch it!"

"Yasha, I'm... I... I..." Sesshomaru said trying to exsplain he didn't mean to and didn't realize that he had callen his brother by his mother's pet name for him.

"Sess, it's cool. Don't worry about it, I don't wanna bother your pride," Inuyasha knowing every time Sesshomaru called him by his pet name he knows that he's serous about apologizing but Inuyasha never let him because of his pride. Everytime Sesshomaru made him apologize it really got to him so he never gave Sess the chance to say anything.

"Inuyasha, where are you going?"

"I'm going to go put her in my old crib so she can get some relaxed sleep. 'Cause she keeps sturring while we're talking."

"Alright Inu, but come back down because we need to talk."

"Yeah... be there in a sec." Inuyasha said walking up the rest of the stairs and down the hall to his room. He set the baby down on the bed gentally and went to his closet and pulled out a long rectangular box and opened it pullong out a wooden crib big enough to fit two babies. He set it down next ot his bed and picked up some pillows and dropped them into the cribbed and then set the baby amounst them. He turned to leave but went back and started rocking the crib slightly then left and the crib continued to rock on its own.

Sesshomaru was waiting for hsi brother in the living room sippin on his tea. When Inuyasha got to the table he picked up a cup that was already made for him and he gulped it down ignoring the burning sensation in his mouth.

"So Inuyasha, what are you going to do with the baby now?" Sesshomaru asked from the couch across from when Inuyasha was sitting.

"I don't know maybe I'll keep her..." Inuyasha said as more of a joke until his brother started glaring at him."Joking... no I'll probably give her to mom's, friend Miss Higurashi..."

--18 years later--

"Kagome child, ye need to wake up or ye mother'll be cross will ye!" an old woman yelled up stairs to her granddaughter to wake her up. There was some movement heard coming from up stairs as a young woman's figure came into view. The old woman smiled and waved for the girl to come down for breakfast and turning to go work in the kitchen.

Kagome slid down the bannester and hopped into the kitchen to find food already on the table and she rushed to it. As she sat down her younger brother bownd in from the living room his short black hair looking like a cow licked it and his pj's all rinkled and yawning while he walked in to sit next to his sister for breakfast.

"Hey Souta, did you sleep in the barn again?" Kagome said to her little brother taking her chopsticks between her fingers and started eating trying to hold in her laughing. She heard her grandma, Kaede chuckle at her comment always ready for Kagome's early morning wise-cracks.

"Well, well someone woke up on wrong side of the fires of Satin. Isn't that right Miss Devil?" Souta countered with a lame come back and started eating. Kaede shook her head at their fighting it so reminded her of sertin pair of silver-head brothers. But at least with these two it's only in the morning their hot headedness rears it ugly head.

"Well, now I deffently know that I got the most important genes in the family," Kagome recountered as she stuffed a octopus tentakle in her mouth. Kaede didn't see this and continued to wash dishes when she heard some choking sounds coming from behind her, she turned to find Kagome at the table holding her throat while Souta was patting her back lightly.

Kaede rushed forward and grabbed Kagome from the back and applied pressure to her stomache and the tentakle came flying out and hit the door frame right as their mother walked in. Kagome coughed a couple of times but she didn't feel anything stange afterwards but Souta was laughing at something that he just thought of.

"So... what genes were those?" Souta chuckled at his sister and fell out of his chair just laughing about it.

"Kagome child, why did ye eat octopuss, ye know that ye and ye father are allergic to it?" Kaede said rubbing her back a bit to calm the teen down so she doesn't start to pannic.

"Don't worry, I'm fine it didn't get too far so we don't have to worry about going to the hospital," Kagome said trying to reasure her small family into believing that she was okay. She stood and walked up to her mother hugging her breiffly before going into the living room to watch some cartoons before going to work. Her mother unknowingly walking behind her and caused her daughter to jump when she sat down next to her.

"Kagome, please you need to pay more attention to what you are doing or I'll loose you just like I did..." Kagome's mother began to snifle but didn't allow any tears to fall because it was so long ago. She turned to her daughter and held her hand in hers getting ready to explain something she never wanted her daughter to know but since times were getting tougher she wanted to break the news now so Kagome didn't find out on her own and she wouldn't fell betrade.

"Kagome..." for some reason the was an occward silence and no body spoke for what seemed forever which was accually a few minutes.

"Mimi, ye better tell that child before she finds out herself," Kaede yelled from the kitchen to her daughter. She looked down at the dishes in the sink that she was suppose to be washing but didn't make a move to wash them until her daughter told Kagome what she wanted to for a long time now. The old woman smiled when her daughter cleared her throat to make an attenment in tell Kagome what was going on and Kaede was suprised that Kagome had sat so patiently waiting. As long as Kaede had known her she was very impatient... Just like the one who saved her... Kaede thought to herself and began to wash the dishes.

"Kagome... I have to tell you something... but I want you to know that we love you very much..." Mimi said taking Kagome's hands in hers adn giving them a little squeeze. She looked up to catch her daughter's confused gaze staring straight back at her wanting to know...

"Mama, why are you speaking such nonsense? Of course i know you love me... why are saying things like this? Is something wrong?" Kagome asked feeling quiet scared by her mother's new actions. She was looking very worried at her mother wanting her mom to feel confortable and clearly was right now.

"Oh... Kagome," Mimi cried pulling her daughter into a hasty embraced and cried into her shoulder. Kagome didn't know quiet what to do so she just held her omther for a while and froze stiff when she heard her mother what she had been wanting to tell her. "You're adopted... a friend of the family found you in a ally and couldn't take care of you himself so he gave you to me. Oh, baby! I've wanted to tell you fo rso long I just didn't know how to tell you..." Mimi cried to her daughter as she pulled back to look at her reaction.

"If that's what you wanted to tell me then I hate to disapoint you but I already knew. I was wondering why that all the family pictures that dad never took a picture with me so I went to the libery and searched for my birth certificate but never found it... I already knew and I still see you as my mom," Kagome said with a smile trying not to cry infront of her mom so she won't feel bad about telling her.

"I'm sorry... so sorry..." Mimi couldn't stop crying and was suprised that her daughter was being as strong as she was being. She knew that sooner or later Kagome wasn't going to be so strong and would cry just as much as she was.

"It's okay mama, I'm gonna go for a walk alright?" Kagome asked letting go of her mother to stand up. She made her way the hall and grabbed her leather coat then put it on quickly. "Don't worry I won't be long!" with that said Kagome walked out the door and ran from the house and kept runnign 'til her lungs were on fire from the lack of air.

Kagome stopped and bent over to rest her hands on her knees, she was breathing a very hard trying to calm her heart was more than enough oxygen. She was still breathing quiet hard when she looked up to see where she had brought herself... A park, well best as place as any...

She walked through the park for a while enjoyign the silence since it was so early in the morning on a Saturday and all the kids were at home probably watching Pokemon or something. Kagome came to a swing set and sat down on a seat slightly swaying herself into calming down from what she heard and admitted. She tried so hard to hold back the tears of what she had known all along... but she wouldn't hold them anymore.

Kagome brought her hands up to her face and placed her elbows on her knees... and cried. She didn't just cry for herself she cried for her brother, her mother, Kaede, grandpa, her father... and the man who saved her. Whoever you are, I wish I could thank you... just once I could thank you for giving me the life I have know...

"Thank you," Kagome whispered thinking that he would somehow hear it.

"You're welcome..."
