Parenthood by Ryuu no Me

Author's Note: Thought I would update…

Summary: When a fight with Naraku goes wrong, Sango and Miroku find themselves stuck with little, kid versions of everyone! Now, it's up to them to find the cure, avoid Naraku, and protect the children. Did I mention that they have to turn the kids back to normal by a month's time, or they stay like that forever?

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Inuyasha, I wouldn't be writing this…

WARNINGS: Not for Kikyo fans.

Chapter Three: Family


"Sess! Sess!" Inuyasha cried, happily.

"Thank goodness you're here, Sesshoumaru!" Sango exclaimed, then did a double take.

'Never thought I'll ever say that…'

The miniature version of Sesshoumaru stared at the two of them through wide, innocent eyes. (A little hard to imagine that…)

"Sesshoumaru, could you please lend me a hand?"

He looked at her blankly.

Sango blinked. 'What's wrong with him? Maybe, he's still the cold, heartless demon that he was when he was older? Oh, great…'

"I'm shocked, Sesshoumaru," she said, bitterly, "I would have thought that you were different when you were a child…I guess I was wrong."

Sesshoumaru blinked at her, then looked at Inuyasha, who was still yelling 'Sess' with a happy smile. 'Whom are they talking about?' He looked behind him, expecting to see another person. There was no one. 'Maybe…they are talking about me? They seem to know who I am…'

"Sess!" Inuyasha yelled again, this time holding out his little arms to his older brother, "Sess!"

Sesshoumaru sniffed the air. 'This little child's scent is like…mine. Perhaps we are related?' Without much thought, Sesshoumaru picked up the little Inuyasha from the sinking sand and placed him on the ground while Inuyasha squealed in delight.

Sango gaped. 'What is going on here?'

Inuyasha smiled at Sesshoumaru, then seemed to remember that Sango was still in the quick sand and pulled her out.

Sango examined the brothers critically. 'They appear to get along just fine, but still…considering how they used to fight…maybe it'll be best to keep an eye on them for a while…'


With Miroku and the Other Children

"Koga, get back here! That's mine!"

Koga just laughed as he ran around carrying Miroku's staff. (I don't know what it's called) "Ha!" he stuck his tongue out at the monk.

'Too much noise,' Kagura thought, 'Stupid wolf…' Annoyed, she put her foot in the wolf demon's path. The results were as expected.

"OW!" Koga cried as he landed face first in the dirt. The staff was quickly taken from him. Kagura couldn't help but smirk. Kagome giggled. Miroku sighed, tired and worn.

'I hope Sango comes back soon…' the monk suddenly heard faint whispering and giggling. He looked up and two village women were at the edge of the clearing, staring at him. Two, young, and very attractive village women. He put on a rather lecherous grin and walked over to them. 'On second thought, perhaps it is for the best that dearest Sango doesn't come right now…'


With Sango and the Inu Brothers

'Okay, we're lost in the woods with no food, water, or shelter. Naraku has the major advantage of most of us being kids…oh, crap, I didn't just say that out loud?' Sango stole a glance at the two brothers and was relieved to find that they weren't staring at her like she was crazy.

"Sess! Sess!" Inuyasha laughed, prancing around his brother, who ignored him. Sniffing, Sesshoumaru suddenly changed direction and started for a clump of trees. Copying him, Inuyasha followed.

'What are they up to now?' Sango wondered, then decided that she couldn't get any more lost unless she ended up in heaven. Shrugging, she went through the trees.

She heard a very familiar voice and some not so familiar giggles.

'The perverted monk strikes again,' she thought, exasperated. On her way over to the lecherous Miroku, she tripped on a sleeping Kagome.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" she cried as Kagome woke up, rubbing her eyes, "Are you alright?"

Her answer was a smile from her best friend. "Miss you," the young girl said.

Sango smiled down at her, but didn't fail to notice the rather jealous look Inuyasha threw her. 'I knew he liked her…'


Kagura looked at this scene from a nearby hilltop. 'They remind me of a family…' She shook her head ruefully, 'What do I know about family? I never had one.' Sighing, she was about to get up when a sudden noise distracted her. 'Wha…?' Quickly spinning around, the wind user saw a rather confused looking dog demon staring at her.

For a brief moment, their eyes met. Then, he leapt away into the forest.

'Who was that?'


Author's Note: Okay, this chapter had no real significance at all. I just wanted to write it…I don't think I can update for some time. Please read and review!
