Kikyou was now entering her 6 month. And as the months progressed Kikyou become more concerned about her baby's health. She had even told Sango about it. So now she had both Inuyasha and Sango watching her every move. They were both trying to make sure that he stress level was down. Kikyou and Inuyasha had gone over to see Sango since she was just weeks away from her due date. The two women were busy in the kitchen talking. "Sango aren't you a little nervous?"

"Yes I'm nervous about not being able to get all of this weight off." Kikyou laughed with her friend. She had always liked how Sango could make fun out of any situation no matter what. Meanwhile Inuyasha was speaking with Miroku. He decided to fill him in on the details about Kagome.

"You actually saw Kagome." Miroku asked. "Yes why are you surprised?"Inuyasha spoke.

"Kagome hasn't been heard from since we graduated."

"Well I saw her she's a weirdo."

"You didn't tell Kikyou did you?" Inuyasha paused for a moment. Of course he hadn't told Kikyou that was the last thing that he wanted to do. "Of course I didn't tell her."

"That's good I can't even begin to imagine what Kikyou would have done." Their conversation was interrupted when they heard a loud scream coming from inside the house. "Sango?" Miroku immediately thought.

"Kikyou?" Inuyasha thought. They both ran inside the house to see Sango gabbing Kikyou's hand. "Sango what's wrong?"

"My water broke you idiot."

"What right now. We have to get you to the hospital." He ran over to her and helped her to the car. Kikyou and Inuyasha went along with them. The entire drive to the hospital Sango was squeezing the hell out of Miroku's free hand. "Sango dear not to tight." He told her.

"What! This is all your fault." She shouted at him. Kikyou couldn't help but laugh at two of them although the situation was not funny. Inuyasha turned to Kikyou a look of fear on his face. "You wont do that to me will you?" he asked her. "What oh no. Well only if you deserve it." His inu ears lay flat on his head as she said that to him. "I was just kidding." She promised him.

As soon as they got to the hospital Sango was rushed in immediately. Kikyou felt on edge the whole time. She had seen how hard it was for Sango. She wondered if it would be worse for her because of her high risk pregnancy. Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw a little girl walking towards the vending machine. She had to be no more than five with brown eyes and her brown hair placed into pigtails. "She's so cute." Kikyou thought to herself. She watched as the little girl struggled with the change in her hand.

"Do you need some help?" Kikyou asked. The little girl nodded. "What's your name?"

"Yumiko." The little girl answered.

"That's a pretty name. I'm Kikyou."

"Hi Ms. Kikyou." She spoke. The little girl handed Kikyou all of her change and watched eagerly as she dropped all of the change into the machine. The chips came down and Kikyou handed her the bag. "Thank you." Yumiko said. But when the little girl didn't leave right away Kikyou began to suspect that she was lost. "Where's your mommy?"

"I don't know." She answered.

"I can help you look if you want."

"Okay." The little girl reached for Kikyou's hand and the two of them walked away in search of her mother. They circled the entire first floor and went upstairs but Yumiko still didn't see her mother. When they were walking back downstairs Yumiko caught a glimpse of a tall red haired woman. "Mommy, mommy." Yumiko screamed. The woman turned around but kept walking. Yumiko let go of Kikyou's hand so she could run after the woman. "Yumiko wait?" Kikyou called after her.

But Yumiko was running away Kikyou followed after her as fast as she could. When she got outside she saw Yumiko running across the street. There was a car coming. "Yumiko no." Kikyou shouted but it was too late the car had already hit her. When Kikyou had gotten to her she was lying underneath the car. "Yumiko?" she questioned.

"Ms. Kikyou why did my mommy leave?" Kikyou reached underneath the car and gently began to get her out. She was still alive but barely. Kikyou watched as a tall dark man with dark menacing eyes stepped out of the car. "What's the meaning of this?" he questioned. "You hit her you asshole." The man smirked evilly Kikyou did not like the look in his eyes. "Hello. I'm Naraku Toriyama and you happen to be one of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen." Kikyou could not believe how disgusting this jerk was. He had just run over an innocent little girl. Yet all he could think about was his hormones. "Move out of the way." She pushed him aside.

She looked down at the little girl in her arms. "Yumiko please don't die on me." She needed a doctor there was no time to waste. "Nurse I need a doctor right away."

"Oh my goodness what happened to her?" the nurse asked. "She was hit by a car." Before she could say anymore the nurse ran to get the first available doctor. Soon the doctor was coming towards them with a stretcher. "Miss we have to get her to surgery right away."

"Yes I understand please take good care of her." Kikyou nodded. "Is she your daughter?"

"No but please save her."

"We'll do everything that we can." Kikyou did not like the sound of those words; because most of the time when doctors said that the person would die anyway. Then she remembered Sango who was about to have her baby. She had to be there to support her but she also wanted to be near Yumiko. "Nurse Can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure." The nurse nodded.

"Will you tell me once Yumiko is out of surgery?"

"Sure but if you don't mind me asking why you happen to care so much? I mean she's not even your daughter."

"You watch someone get hit by a car and see if you don't start to care for them." Kikyou left the nurse standing there and made her way back to Sango's room. "Kik where were you?" Sango asked. "I…I stepped outside for a moment." Kikyou answered. "Well why do you look so sad?"

"A little girl was hit by a car."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that is she going to be okay?"

"She's in surgery right now." Kikyou felt bad for Yumiko. She was only a little girl she didn't deserve for this to happen to her. Also why had her mother abandoned her like that? It didn't make any sense to her. "Kikyou are you going to be okay?" Sango wondered. "Yeah why wouldn't I be?"

"Seeing a little girl get hit by a car must have made you think of your own baby." Sango was right seeing Yumiko get hit by that car had made her think of her own baby. It made her realize that anything could happen. So she became more worried about her high risk pregnancy. "I did think of my own child when I saw what happened to Yumiko."

"Yumiko. That's a pretty name."

"She was such an adorable child. I can't believe that her mother abandoned her."

"Are you serious why would her mother do such a thing?"

"I don't know." Kikyou shook her head. Moments later Sango was screaming out in pain. Her contractions were starting to grow ever closer together. "Kikyou get a doctor and Miroku."

"Miroku?" she questioned. "Yes I need to hold someone's hand and this is all his faults. Kikyou got the message and went to get both Miroku and Sango's doctor. She ran into Inuyasha on the way there. He could sense that she was worried about something. "Kikyou what's wrong?"

"I saw a little girl get hit by car."

"Is she okay?"

"She's in surgery now." Inuyasha put his arms around her and she cried softly into his shirt. "You were thinking about our baby weren't you?" "Yes." She told him. "It's going to be okay Kikyou." He tried to reassure her. But the truth was he wasn't even sure himself. She had a lot to be worried about. He just wished that there was something that he could do for her. Suddenly a thought came to him. "Don't go anywhere I'll be right back."

"Okay but where are you going?"

"I'll be right back." He smiled. She didn't know what to think so she just let him go. Moments later he came back with two ice cream sundaes in his hands. "One strawberry sundae with sprinkles and extra whip cream just the way that you like it."

"You…you remembered."

"Yeah."

"Thank you." At least there was one good thing happening. Inuyasha was starting to remember some things; even if they were tiny things like her favorite foods. Soon Miroku came over to them a huge smile was on his face. "Sango's going into labor."

"Now that's great."

"She wants you two in the room." Just as Kikyou was about to leave a nurse pulled her aside? "You wanted to know about Yumiko's condition?"

"Yes please tell me."

"She's out of surgery but I'm afraid that she has fallen into a coma."

"Okay thank you." Kikyou turned to look at Inuyasha. "Go you need to be with her." He told her. "Thank you for understanding. And tell Sango I will be there as soon as I can." Inuyasha nodded and the two of them went their separate ways. Kikyou was glad to hear that Yumiko was alive but she didn't deserve to be in a coma either. She entered the room to see that there was already someone sitting there. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize someone was already in here."

The woman turned around and Kikyou realized that it was the woman from earlier. "Did you save her?" she asked. "Yes she would have died." The woman slapped Kikyou across the face. Hot tears of anger started to swell up in her eyes. "What the hell was that for?" Kikyou asked her.

"Why did you save her?" Kikyou was shocked appalled to hear the woman speak about her daughter like that. What the hell kind of person was she. "She is your daughter isn't she?"

"Yes."

"Well then you should be grateful that she's alive."

"Don't you get it I didn't ask to be her mother? I never asked for this why do you think I left her here in the first place." The red haired woman soon admitted.

"Motherhood is a gift it's not always asked for."

"I don't want to be her mother don't you get it." It was now time for this woman to get what she deserved. Kikyou slapped her across the face twice as hard. "You are a monster. Its you who should have been underneath that car not Yumiko." Kikyou yelled at her. The woman went to say more but stopped when she saw Kikyou grabbing her stomach and kneeling over. "Miss are you okay? Hold on I'm going to get a doctor." Those were the last words that she heard before she fainted. It wasn't until hours later when she woke up to see Sango lying in the bed across from her. "Long time no see sleepyhead."

"Sango where am I?"

"Don't worry you haven't died and gone to hell. We're in the hospital."

"What happened to me?"

"That's what I want to know." Inuyasha spoke.

"Inuyasha?" Kikyou looked towards him. "You were out cold Kikyou what happened?" Miroku asked her. "I was arguing with Yumiko's mother. The rest is blurry." Then Kikyou turned her attention to the baby in Sango's arms. "You had the baby."

"Yeah you missed it all. I even hit Miroku over the head a few times." She spoke proudly. "Only a few." Miroku spoke as he rubbed his head.

"Sango he's beautiful."

"Would you like to hold him?" "Sure." Kikyou nodded. Sango placed her son in Kikyou's awaiting arms. "He's so cute. He looks just like you. What's his name?"

"They haven't named the brat yet." Inuyasha said.

"I thought of some names but Sango didn't like any of them." Miroku spoke. "I refuse to name my son Prince Miroku junior." Kikyou laughed at the ridiculous name. "How about Kenji?" Kikyou offered. "That's cute." Sango nodded. "Yeah I like it." Miroku agreed.

"Do you like the name huh Kenji?" Kikyou smiled. The baby giggled slightly. "See he likes it." Sango watched as Kikyou held the baby so she was so good with him. "You're going to be a great mother Kikyou." She told her friend. "Do you really think so?"

"Yeah I really think so." Kikyou set Kenji back in Sango's arms. "I'll be back I'm going to go call Keade."

"Be careful." Inuyasha told her. "I will I promise if I'm not back in 5 minutes you can come hunt me down."

"I just might have to hold you to that." Kikyou smiled at him and left the room. She looked at the time it was going on 1 in the morning. She knew that Keade was probably asleep but she had to try anyway. "Hello." Went Keade's groggy voice.

"Hello Keade."

"Oh Kikyou what's up?"

"Sango had her baby today."

"Oh that's great did she have a boy or girl?"

"It was a boy and we named him Kenji."

"That's nice too bad we didn't get to go shopping for him."

"Is that all you think about?" Kikyou had to ask. "No I'm thinking about going shopping for my little niece."

"Niece what makes you think that I'm having a girl."

"I don't know I can just feel it. And it's alright if you want to name her Keade." Kikyou laughed at her little sister and how funny she was. "Keade you are the most amusing person I know." She complimented her. "Thanks sis I gotta go I have a big history exam tomorrow"

"Okay good night Keade." She told her. "Good night." Just as Keade started to drift off to sleep the phone rang again. "What's wrong Kikyou did you forget something?"

"This isn't Kikyou."

"Well who is it then?"

"Hello Keade it's been a long time." The voice sounded distinctly familiar. "Who are you?" Keade asked again. "Don't tell me you don't recognize the voice of your own sister."

"Kagome?" she questioned.

"Yes baby sis it's me."
