Hello, I'm Angelstar. This is my first Inuyasha fanfic. I thought I would try to different anime to write about. My friend told me to watch the Inuyasha episodes and I was hooked onto it. I decided to write about how everything is after the death of Naraku and the completion of the Shikon-no- tama (jewel). Enough of my chatting, here is Not Knowing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, some characters that are not known I made up.

Title: Not Knowing

Author: Angelstar and some help of Inu-chan (not Inuyasha but my author friend)

Prologue

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A woman about the age of 20 named Kagome is about to journey up to the Northern Mountains where a tribe was in a need of her help. While she was packing, she heard giggling come from the outside. She walks over to a window. While looking out the window, she sees her daughter run away from the man she loves, her husband/mate.

Her nearly 1-year-old daughter, Miraa, is waddling close to the edge of the bridge near the house and is about to fall in. She sees her mate run up to Miraa to keep her from falling in, but fell in himself after realizing Miraa had regained her balance. Miraa turns around and sees her father in the water all wet from head to toe. She starts to giggle and clap her hands over the sight of him.

Kagome walks out over to the bridge. "Are you being a pain for daddy?" she asks her daughter while picking her up.

"Yes she is," said her husband while getting out of the water. Her husband and mate is Inuyasha, the hanyou.

It has been 4 years since the Shikon-no-tama (jewel) was placed back together and under her care. 4 years since Naraku was alive. Now she has been with Inuyasha, her husband and mate, for the past 2 years. (AN: I start everything off about the ages when Kagome was 16. She was Inuyasha's mate at the age of 18 and had her daughter at the age of 18 close to 19. Just to let you guys know so it won't confuse you all.) They were blessed with a wonderful daughter named Miraa, who is almost about to turn the age of one.

Ever since the jewel was placed back together, her 'powers' have grown, and she became very mature. Inuyasha stayed the same, being hanyou, and very proud that he was the same so he could protect his family. But with him being hanyou, Miraa became ΒΌ of a youkai.

"When will you be back?" asked Inuyasha, ringing the water from his haori.

"I don't know, but I still have to pack a little more," she said. Miraa started to make bubbling noises. "And when I am gone, I expect you to take care of Miraa. And no teaching her how to fight again."

"Ahh, you never let me have any fun," Inuyasha said with a pout. He wrapped his arms around his family. "I wish I could go with you to help you out."

"Well I wish you could go too, but you have to stay and protect Miraa from harm and you're the best one to do that, not me," she said while handing Miraa to him. "Besides you need to spend more time with her while I am away."

He sighed, "Well I want you to be safe."

"I know you do and stop being a worry wart," she said back to him. "Now it's my turn to have a little fun." She smiled. She noticed that Miraa fell asleep in her father's arms. "I better finish packing before she wakes up, because it will be hard to leave her when she is awake and crying out for me."

"Yeah, I know," he said agreeing with her. He followed her into the house, put Miraa in her room, and walked out.

~About an hour later, Inuyasha hugged Kagome tightly.~

"Be safe and come back unscratched. If I see one thing misplaced, I will beat down who hurt you," he growled

"Well I will make sure that not even a strand of hair is missing from my head when I come back," she said while trying not to giggle over his protectiveness. "I will try to be back in two weeks. And If I don't return, don't look for me," she said with a sad tone.

"What! Not look for you! Are you crazy!?" he answered back with a harsh tone.

"I might be crazy, but if I am not here, you have to take care of Miraa. I do not want her to grow up without a father too if I'm gone," she gave him a hug because she could see in his amber eyes how much she was right.

"I know," he answered softly while holding her.

"And if I am gone longer than I said I would be." she pulled the Shikon-no- tama from her bag and placed it around his neck. "I want you to protect the jewel. The jewel will have to have someone to protect it and a new owner. That's why I am giving it to you, because Miraa will most likely get the jewel, because she has miko powers from me. Her powers will grow by age, and will be old enough to use its powers."

"Are you sure? The jewel is more powerful than ever now, and I'm afraid that Miraa will not be able to control the Shikon jewel," he said while taking the jewel off from around his neck and looking at it.

"Yes, I am sure. And I think it will be better off with her. She will grow more powerful with it than without it," she answered back and placed her hand on top of the jewel. "With Miraa, she has a better shot at protecting it from evil. Evil is still around and after the jewel."

"You're right. Now you must get going before the sun sets."

"I will sure miss you," Kagome gave him one last kiss. "Good-bye."

"Bye." With those last words, they parted.

Inuyasha went inside and slid open the door where Miraa was. He walked up to her crib (Kagome got the crib from her mother from her time) and smiled upon her.

"Well your mother's gone. I wish I could go with her, but I know she can take care of herself," he said softly not to wake Miraa up. "If I ever lost her or you, I don't know what I would do. I would lose my heart if I lost both of you. When we were saying our last words to each other, she told me not to find her or anything when she doesn't return. She said that out of nowhere like it would come true. I hope it won't."

He reached down into the crib and gently ran his claw along her face. "I promise you that if your mother was gone, I won't leave you," he said with a hushed voice not to go any louder. "I don't want you to grow up without any parents like I did."

Miraa opened her mixed black and yellow eyes. He was amazed how her features are like his and Kagome's. (AN: You people know what I mean. Miraa looks like Kagome because some children look like their parents. I do; I look like an exact person of my mother and no I am not a clone.) Miraa was starting to grow sliver streaks in her hair at this young of age with her little white black-tipped puppy ears. Soon when she reaches the age of 6, she will be able to turn to her youkai part and her human part without waiting for the new moon, like when Inuyasha turns human.

All Inuyasha did was smile down at his pup as she went to sleep again.

~The path toward the Northern Mountains (its dark)~

Kagome was halfway there when she heard a noise come from behind her. She looked around but nothing was there.

"I can't believe this is turning out be like my vision; I thought it would never come to pass if I went on this trip," she said to herself while continuing to walk.

~Her vision~

Kagome was walking down a path with a pack on her back, her bow and arrow drawn for protection. She continued to hear noises coming all around her as if she was going to be captured. She saw a big youkai shadow come toward her with evil red eyes. The youkai was 2 times bigger than she. Before she could launch her arrow she was hit so hard it knocked her out.

~End of vision~

The noise sound happened again but this time from behind her. She drew an arrow toward the noise behind her ready to slay down the creature that was after her. Nothing was there.

The noise was louder and now in front of her. She turned her head over her shoulder and saw the shadow youkai with the red eyes. Before she could defend herself, she was caught.

The youkai was grabbing her so tightly she was going to pass out. Before she could, she heard about an evil laugh that was familiar, so familiar that the laugh belonged to Naraku.

~Back at the village~

Inuyasha shot up in bed with a cold sweat running down his face. He looked around the room and saw the Shikon-no-tama glowing a blazing red. He knew something was wrong. He moved his ears to the side when her heard Miraa starting to cry. He went to her room and picked her up.

He began rock her back and forth to calm her down. But she wouldn't calm down knowing that something was wrong. He came to the conclusion that something happened to Kagome on her journey. He grabbed a blanket and the jewel that blazed angry red; he ran to Kaede's hut. Right when Inuyasha was about to go inside, he noticed a fire was burning. He walked inside and that noticed the old woman was awake.

"I know why you're here," Kaede looked up at Inuyasha and at the jewel in his hand that was red.

"Yes, I have a feeling that something has happened to Kagome," Inuyasha said with a sad look and with his ears down.

"You're right, something did happen to her," Kaede said while looking into the hanyou's eyes. "She's gone but still alive."

So. that's all for now. I hope you guys enjoyed it. And if you are wondering why Inuyasha is not a hard-ass it's because he has a kid. But don't worry he will be back to his old self when Miraa is older. Please Review and tell me what you thought. You can flame me but not so hard, PLEASE!!!
