Kagome and Inu Yasha were out window shopping downtown. They were joking and laughing as always, when they stopped in front of a book store. Being the bookworm that Kagome was, they entered the store to look around.

"Hey, this book looks pretty good." Inu Yasha handed over a book with the title, "Life." In the summary, it told of a young boy, and his struggles for his life. Kagome nodded happily, and purchased the book. Both made their ways home, to find a surprise waiting for them. They had arrived late that night, when all of a sudden, Kagome tripped on the porch.

"Ah!" Kagome shrieked. "I tripped over something!"

"It's probably just the steps." Inu Yasha said sensibly.

"But I wasn't on the steps Inu." Kagome insisted. The two turned on the light so that they could see what it was that made Kagome trip. A basket and a lump of a blanket. "What is it?" Kagome breathed.

"Looks like some basket to me." Inu Yasha drew nearer to the object. Carefully, he lifted the covers to unravel a big shock. Kagome followed Inu Yasha's gaze into what lay in the basket.

"A baby?!" Kagome yelled. "What is it doing here!?"

"How should I know?" Inu Yasha questioned. Inu Yasha was clearly close to panicking.

"There's something beside the poor little thing." Kagome pointed to the right side of the sleeping baby. Using her delicate hands, she grasped the note and began to read. "Inu. You may not remember me, but I have always remembered you. That is why I am trusting my one baby to you. I am sorry for any inconvenience, but you are my last hope, along with my baby's. His name is Toriyame. Please, I beg of you, take care of him for me, for I am nearing my Death. Good bye."

Both stood in silence for the words to soak in. A baby, in Inu Yasha's care. Left by someone he probably didn't even know. An enemy? A friend?

"GRR!" Inu Yasha broke the silence. "Who the hell would do this to me? I'm not a baby sitter!" Kagome laid her hands on Inu Yasha's shoulders in an attempt to calm him down. "Seriously Kagome! I don't know anything about babies! Why would someone do this to me?"

"Inu, let's just get inside first. It's too cold out here." Kagome took the baby, and its blanket, and cradled him in her arms. "Besides, the baby's probably going to get a cold!"

"The baby?! You're worried about the baby?

"Of course. Let's go inside." Kagome took the lead, with a very grumpy Inu Yasha behind.

Once inside, Kagome took a closer look at the baby. Its eyes were just like Inu Yasha's. Cold in someway, but heart warming all the same. The baby's other features didn't relate to Inu much, but Kagome could instantly tell that they were related. It's the eyes … Kagome thought.

"So what are we going to do?" Inu Yasha interrupted Kagome's thoughts. "I'm sure you're not going to let me just throw it away or something …"

"What? You wouldn't!" Kagome blurted out. "You can't throw him away just like that!"

"Yeah … I guess. What are we going to do then?" Inu Yasha pressed.

"We're … we're …" Kagome stared long and hard into Toriyame's eyes. Somehow she couldn't look away from its beauty. "We're going to keep him. I'll even help Inu Yasha!" she added.

"Keep him? You can't be serious!" Inu Yasha said in shock. "Do you know how hard that's going to be?"

"I know, I know! Just give me and the baby a chance. Please?" Kagome pleaded.

"Fine …. But if the baby starts to become a handful, he's getting out of here! Maybe I'll throw him in an adoption center, or find him some parents or something." Inu Yasha muttered.

"Ok. But don't worry, because that's not going to happen!" Kagome announced happily.

"Let's hope that he wouldn't be a pain …" Inu Yasha agreed.

"Thanks Inu. I promise, he's going to be an angel!" Kagome hugged the baby.

"An angel?" Inu laughed. "And how do you know that?"

"I just do." Answered she. Inu Yasha shrugged, and went over to his fridge.

"Whatever you say Kagome. Whatever you say. Just tell me when this starts getting out of hand." Inu Yasha stated. He opened a can, and drank the cool liquid down. At the corner of his eye, he could see the happy Kagome with the baby in her arms. She was so happy! Inu smiled, and thought of how extraordinary Kagome was. We both have such difficult lives … but I know … that together nothing of the past will matter. Together, we are happy. Inu told himself in his mind.

This turned out shorter than ever! Maybe I'll try to make the next one extra longer to make up for this one. Please Review! I want to reach 100 reviews! I already have 27! Think I can't make it? Well ... I can if you guys review … Please!
