Kagome felt little Inu-Yasha fidgeting on her shoulders, and it was getting annoying. She made up her mind to set him down, they had been walking for about ten minutes and her back hurt slightly.

"Hey Inu, do you want me to put you down now?" She turned her head to see him nod. With that answer, she lifted him up and sat him on the ground. "There you go." She smiled at him brightly. She was surprised and jumped slightly when she felt his little hand suddenly entwine with her own.

"You're a nice lady." He gave her a large smile, showing off his cute fangs.

'Aw, he is just the sweetest!' It was hard to imagine that this cute little boy that was just so innocent would grow up to be an arrogant, pigheaded, rude, mean, cruel… (You get the idea) She smiled as they started off again, hand in hand. Inu broke the silence (Comfortable I might add)

"So why do you like me? Nobody has ever been this nice to me, other than my mommy."

She smiled down at him; she could tell that he had been thinking this ever since they had met. She knew exactly why she liked him.

"I like you because you're cute, and nice, and innocent." She answered truthfully to the small form of Inu-Yasha. Kagome remembered the older Inu-Yasha, and quickly became very sad. She was sorry for Inu, she knew what lie ahead for him. He would have a very sad life, first his mother dying, and how crushed would you be if the only person who ever cared for you was taken away from you? Next was growing up being a total outcast, not able to live with demons because they thought you were weak and worthless, but not being able to live with humans because they saw you as some kind of freak. And last but not least, there was Kikyo. Inu-Yasha had finally found someone he loved, he might finally be happy with since his mother. It was all Naraku's fault; Naraku would ruin Inu-Yasha's life on countless times in the future. Kagome began to cry for Inu; she didn't want Inu-Yasha's future to be filled with sorrow and pain.

Inu smelled a hint of salt in the air, and then heard a soft sniff next to him. He noticed silent tears rolling down the girls pale face and became worried that she had hurt herself.

"Are you okay?" They had stopped walking. She shook her head and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hands.

"Nothing to worry about Inu, I was just thinking of something." He wasn't satisfied with her answer.

"Did I make you sad, It that it?" Inu didn't want the nice lady to not like him anymore; it was nice that she liked him. She shook her head again.

"No Inu, you didn't make me sad." She smiled reassuringly at him. He grinned broadly, happy that she still liked him.

After they trudged along for about ten more minutes through the dense forest, Kagome could see the small figure of Yuki's hut. Smoke was escaping through a window.

"Look Inu; your mom must be cooking something." When Inu looked up, his golden eyes went wide in fear. He shook his head.

"She's not cooking anything!" Kagome squinted as they got closer to the hut. She then realized that he was right, Yuki was not cooking; she started running towards the hut when she saw the bright yellow flames licking the house. Without warning, the hut burst out in flames.

"Oh no!" Kagome and Inu rushed towards the hut.

"Mommy!" Kagome stopped right in front of the burning hut.

'Who could do such a thing? Maybe it was an accident.' She told herself in her mind, but she knew better, she knew that the village had turned on Inu and his mother. 'What horrible people!' She knew that the village didn't care if Yuki died, they just wanted their problem gone, and if killing them was their only answer, they'd do it. Kagome wanted to puke, but she had to react quickly if she wanted to save Inu's mother. A red and silver flash zipped passed her and she had to try with all her strength to keep the half demon from hurling himself to his death trying to save his mother.

"Le-let me g-go!" He struggled against her grip, but she had a better plan to help Yuki.

"I'll get her out of there!" She found herself saying. She soon found herself inside a burning house that was once known to be the place where Inu and his mother lived looking for some kind of life form. A large piece of burning rubbish broke off from the ceiling and Kagome dodged it without a second to lose.

"Yuki!" She called out, she could barley hear her own voice over all the noise. And then she saw her, she was crouched in the far corner of the hut.

"Yuki?" Kagome weaved between various burning objects to reach the woman. Upon reaching her goal, she bent down and shook Yuki to her senses, well…Almost, she began to babble.

"Villagers came… torches… hut on fire… left me here all alone...Called out…No one came." Kagome knew the woman was in shock. She held out her hand and pulled Yuki up and Yuki put an arm around Kagome's shoulder, Kagome saw that Yuki had sprained her ankle. She led her slowly out of the house. Inu was wailing beside a tree a few feet away from the danger, probably thinking that both women were dead.

"Inu, are you all right?" Kagome softly set Yuki down on the cool ground, Inu immediately pounced on her.

"Mommy, are you okay? Who did this?" Kagome didn't know what to do for them, where were they supposed to go now? Yuki must have read her mind because she spoke up in a soft voice.

"I knew something like this would happen one day, so I have another hut hidden in the forest in case we were chased off or something." Kagome's heart jumped in hope, they did have a chance to survive! Kagome sat on the ground to check what damage had happened. After she made sure Yuki was comfortable, she helped the poor woman stand up. Inu helped her walk from the other side. Into the dark forest they stepped into once again, leaving the burned out rut behind in ruins.

'This has been one long day.' Kagome thought as they searched for the hut that Yuki had said exited deep within the forest.

I know it's short, but I wanted to update for you guys, review to get another chapter!
