Fire

Disclaimer – I do not own Inuyasha…well no duh!

Inuyasha sat staring up at the sky in the familiar branches of his favorite tree, quietly thinking about his new life with Kagome. He and Kagome had been together for about a year now and a week ago she had even had his child. A smile tugged at his lips just at the thought of his beautiful little girl. He chuckled slightly when he remembered what had happen the day Kagome told him she was pregnant.

Flashback

Inuyasha waited for kagome to return sitting by the well like he always did. He quietly turned around to look down the dark hole but sadly there was nothing there. He sighed and laid his head in his hands.

'Why does kagome have to go to that stupid school place anyways? It's not like she's gonna need any of it when she moves over here with me…' he thought to himself.

Suddenly he saw a light coming from inside the well and his mood immediately changed. When she got to the top, Inuyasha helped her get out. She looked as though she was nervous of something.

"Kagome what's…" he started.

"Inuyasha!" she said hugging him around the waist. "Oh, I didn't mean for this to happen! I'm so sorry! We didn't even get a chance to even discuss a family and now here we are and I'm…I'm…" she started to cry into his shirt.

He looked down at her confused. He couldn't understand why she was crying. Was there something wrong with her or something! Suddenly he started to panic.

"Kagome! You're what? What's wrong!" he said hugging back and sinking to his knees bringing her with him.

"I'm pregnant" she looked at him sadly.

He stared at her for a second; then fell to the ground as her words finally sunk in.

End Flashback

When he woke up he was of course ecstatic about having a family but his friends would never let him live it down…

"I can't believe I fainted" he said laughing at himself.

He sniffed the air to smell the beautiful forest around him. His eyes shot open as fear overcame him. He smelled smoke! And it was coming from the village!

He quickly got up and ran as fast as he could to the village where he and his friends lived. When he exited the forest he froze at the sight he saw.

The whole place was in flames. He ran to Kaede's hut and found it in flames as well, but then something caught his eye. Kaede was lying in the middle of the doorway unconscious. He sniffed the smoky air and realized she was alive but barely. He ran over and dragged her out. She suddenly woke up and grabbed Inuyasha by the collar.

"I…Inuyasha, Kagome is still in the hut! You must save her before it's too late!" she yelled.

Inuyasha gasped. He got to his feet as fast as he could and ran into to hut, not caring about the fire. He caught sight of Kagome sitting unconscious in the corner of the room. His ears twitched when he heard a baby crying. He ran over to his mate and realized she was holding their daughter tightly in her arms, shielding her from the flames. Inuyasha picked them up and brought them outside, leaning kagome next to a tree and taking the pup away from her. He gave her to Kaede who was now sitting up staring sadly at the burning village. Thankfully Miroku and Sango had gone on a demon slaying mission and weren't back yet. She looked at Inuyasha as he frantically tried to get Kagome to wake up. It was no use; he could smell the death that was coming off her body. It was true. Kagome…was dead.
